Inner Join resulting in many, many duplicates

I ran an Inner Join but it returned many, many duplicates. Any idea why that would occur?
One Answer from a different thread:
Because you may be having improper Join condition what has a One to many or a Many to many relationship between the tables. We do not have the data, and hence cannot comment over it. However, since the original issue is resolved, I suggest you close this thread and ask the question in another thread.
What do I look for to identify an improper join?

Please don't start another discussion for the same issue.
Continue on your existing thread where the answers and advice you've already been given can be seen, so that people don't end up giving the same advice you've already had.

  • Inner join in how many tables

    hi All
    how many tables join thu inner join.

    Hi,
    You can join any number of tables as long as join conditions exist  between the tables. It is not advisable to use more than 4 tables in join. it results in performance issue.
    thanks,

  • Inner join searches too many entries

    Hi experts,
    In a user exit following code is used:
    DATA : h_rsnum LIKE afko-rsnum,
           h_charg LIKE resb-charg,
           h_matnr LIKE resb-matnr,
        SELECT SINGLE rsnum INTO h_rsnum
                     FROM afko
                     WHERE aufnr = x_bncom-aufnr.
        IF sy-subrc = 0 .
          SELECT resbcharg resbmatnr
                  INTO (h_charg, h_matnr)
                  FROM mara INNER JOIN resb
                    ON maramatnr = resbmatnr            
                    WHERE resb~rsnum = h_rsnum
                    AND resb~charg NE space
                    AND maramtart = 'HALB' OR maramtart = 'FERT'.     
          ENDSELECT.
    Goal of the source code is to detemine the reservation number of a process order. From table RESB with key h_rsnum,  the material nb and the batch nb of the single material with material type HALB or FERT needs to be selected.
    During debugging I found out that this code searches into a very long list of materials before ending up with the correct h_charg and h_matnr.
    If the condition resb~rsnum = h_rsnum would be taken into account when creating the inner join, the list would only contain 20 materials maximum.
    Can this behaviour be changed and how to do it?
    Rgds,
    Suzy

    if this is inside a user exit 1st of all why are you using a select endselect and i dont see you take that in to a table which means your only looking for one record.
    about you tell that before the inner join taking the where condition into consideration. I dont think it will be possible sine normally after making the join it should go for the where condition anyway ill try to check on it and see.
    sometimes  Siegfried might know an answer dont know if he saw this.

    Inner joins (or any other kinds of joins) are not supposed to remove duplicates. Use SELECT DISTINCT to remove duplicates, that is, completely identical rows.
    You don't have any duplicates. For example, these rows from your result set:
    `        CNAME     CNAME
    1     Perira     Hoffman
    10     Hoffman     Periraare not identical; in fact, both columns are different.
    Ideally it should till 5 rows but it should not return such rows for an e.g. Hoffman Perira since I got Perira Hoffman already. Please post the exact output you want from that sample data. (As Hoek said, you should post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for the sample data, too.)

  • Error MDX result contains too many cells (more than 1 million). (WIS 10901)

    Hi,
    We have developed an universe on BI query and developed report on it. But while running this BO query in Web Intelligence we get the following error
    A database error occured. The database error text is: Error in MDDataSetBW.GetCellData.  MDX result contains too many cells (more than 1 million). (WIS 10901)
    This BO query is restricted for one document number.
    Now when i check in the BI cube there are not more than 300-400 records for that document number.
    If i restrict the BO query for document number, delivery number, material and acknowledged date then the query runs successfully.

I have tried the fore-mentioned solutions with either no results or very bad results which I filed a report but did not receive an answer.

    There does appear to be any support whatsoever from mighty "non caring" FIREFOX & people are getting fed up. We may as well try another system, if they can't be bothered to provide any support for their system, we can't be bothered to use their system.

  • MDX result contains too many cells - But relese note applied!!!!!!

    Hi experts!
    When I create a query with my infoview, it retrive me the following error:
    <ERROR COMPONENT="WIS" ERRORCODE="10901" ERRORTYPE="USER" MESSAGE="Si è verificato un errore del database. Il testo dell&apos;errore del database è: Errore in MDDataSetBW.GetCellData.  MDX result contains too many cells (more than 1 million). (WIS 10901)" PREFIX="ERR">
    I try to understand if there are some problems about the sap.notes. In particular I ask to the technical people if the following note had installed into my system:
    Note 931479 - MDX: More than 1,000,000 instances per axis
    The technical people said me that this note had been installed because the system is to level 23.

    Then what problem may be due the fact that my mdx is not able to contains more than 1 million of cell ?

  • Error - DRG-51030: wildcard query expansion resulted in too many terms

    Hi All,
    My searches against a 100 million company names table on org names often result in the following error:
    DRG-51030: wildcard query expansion resulted in too many terms
    A sample query would be:
    select v.* --xref.external_ref_party_id,v.*
    from xxx_org_search_x_v vwhere 1 =1
    and state_province = 'PA'
    and country = 'US'
    and city = 'BRYN MAWR'
    and catsearch(org_name,'BRYN MAWR AUTO*','CITY=''BRYN MAWR''' ) > 0
    I understand that is caused by the presence of the word Auto to which we append a * . (If i remove the auto the search works fine).
    My question is - is there a way to limit the query expansion to only , say 100, results that get returned from the index?

    Thanks for the reply. This is how the preferences are set:

    SELECT dr$token
    FROM DR$XXX_EXT_REF_SEARCH_CTX_I1$I
    where dr$token like 'AUTO%'
    ORDER BY dr$token desc
    i get more than 1M rows.
    is there a way to include and search for the city name along with the org name?

    can anyone please help me.
    regards saurabh.

    Hello Saurabh,
    Include all the primary key fields in the where clause for PA0015 and PA0589, while comparing with those in PA0000. Since the key fields for all these '3' tables are same this should not be a problem.
    If you have any reservations about changing the select query, then, sort your final internal table with a defined sort key (based on your requirement) and use "Delete adjacent duplicates" with the same sort key.
    Please let me know if this helps.
    Regards,
    Pavan

  • MDX result contains too many cells - NUMC 6

    Hi to all.
    I'm using I bex query in order to retrieve the field to my universe.
    I know that when there is an element defined as NUMC (6), some errors may occurs into the MDX extraction (e.g.  MDX result contains too many cells (more than 1 million)).
    Can I set everythink in my BEX query or in my universe definition in order to not change the caratcteristic in my SAP BW system ?
    Indeed I will have some bureaucratic and formal problem to change the sap bw type definition of the caracteristics.
    Thank'you in advance.

    hi Ingo,
    Are you sure ? Indeed when I try to run a query where I have a NUMC6 filed and another field there is the error attached above.
    Instead when I run the same query without the NUMC6 field the query  ends correctly.
    Moreover I see in the "SAP Note 1378064" where I see in the "Reason and Prerequisites": The internal data types are incorrect due to NUMC(6). The conversion to integer is required.
    But I don't know if this conversion is allowed in the Bex Query step or in the universe filed definition.
    Any advice will be accepted !

  • Many many many contact duplicates

    I've had a severe problem with Apple creating many, many duplicates (734 to be exact) of a single contact on my iPhone.  Other people are having this problem as well.  Although my computer Address Book only listed the contact once, my iPhone had a ridiculous amount.  iCloud syncing didn't work, iTunes synicing didn't work.  My husband was able to fix this problem and here's what he did. 
    BEFORE you do anything though, make sure all your contacts are on the computer in your Address Book or else they'll all get erased. 
    On your iPhone & your Apple computer uncheck the "Sync with iCloud" for contacts only (selecting the "remove/delete from phone" when it asks what you want to do after un-syncing). 
    Go into your computer address book and delete the one(s) that's repeating. 
    Use a web browser and log into iCloud and delete all the repeating ones (delete every one of the duplicates, don't even leave one of them or it will start creating many, many multiples). 
    Wait a moment and make sure the contacts don't magically start reappearing again (if they do, then good luck!)
    Check and make sure you have no synced contacts on your phone. 
    Go back to both your phone and your computer and resync with iCloud (now the contacts you saved on your computer will go onto your phone).
    Then you *should* be able to add the one contact that was the crazy repeater. 
    I hope this works for any of you that have had this problem, and hopefully your contacts don't get erased either!  Good luck!

    If you are syncing contacts with iCloud you should not be trying to sync contacts with iTunes too, if that's what you're doing.  This may help you resolve your problem with duplicates: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4147.

  • Inner Join within results?

    So if an item is a bottle, it will have a unique BottleKey and Null for CaseKey and if

    NULL 5465 ABC-234
    Is there a way to get the result sorted by Primary ID? 
    So that the rows are halved from what we have in the table above and the results look like
    PrimaryID CaseKey BottleKey

    Found the problem!
    Oracle - need to capture that error and make more descriptive.
    maybe - "User does not have the proper role to view this page"
    I went into the
    Identity Management Console:     https://idmconsole.us1.cloud.oracle.com/identity/faces/pages/Identity.jspx
    for my Domain.
    "Manage Roles" - hit search (because the roles don't show if you don't hit the search button)
    and then Assigned the "Database Developer" and "Database Administrator" roles to the users that were getting the error.
