Is it worth using select query on infotype tables

Hi Experts,
I might be posting in the wrong column, but i just need to know is it worth using a select query on Infotype tables (PAxxxx)?? or should we prefer using the function modules for data fetching?
If select is not suggested, what is the reason for that?

Hi ,
Its not said that u cant write select on PAXXXX tables . Yes of couse LDB are there to fetch the data but it depends on
the requirement when to write a select and when to consider using in LDB .
Generally when you are looking at say 8 to 10 tables of infotypes with free selection , then LDB is suggested to fetch the data .
if you are looking to fetch the data for say some tables for a restricted selection (where clause) then select is used .
If i want to write a program using select only then fetching data from infotypes tables for large no of records will lead to
more time consumption which becomes easier in LDB as they are fetched in hierarchy level based on keys .
Normally it will be a combination of LDB and select querys in the development scenario

To display 01 to 10 using select query

Hi all,
using select query...
In where clause...,
If u give 1 to 9 it should display 01 to 09 and
If u give 10 it should display as 10.
I want it in a single query .
Thanks & Regards,

Select query on a table with 13 million of rows

Hi guys,
I have been trying to perform a select query on a table which has 13 millions of entries however it took around 58 min to complete.
The table has 8 columns with 4 Primary keys looks like below:
(PK) SegmentID > INT
(PK) IPAddress > VARCHAR (45)
MAC Address > VARCHAR (45)
(PK) Application Name > VARCHAR (45)
Total Bytes > INT
Dates > VARCHAR (45)
Times > VARCHAR (45)
(PK) DateTime > DATETIME
The sql query format is :
select ipaddress, macaddress, sum(totalbytes), applicationname , dates,
times from appstat where segmentid = 1 and datetime between '2011-01-03
15:00:00.0' and '2011-01-04 15:00:00.0' group by ipaddress,
applicationname order by applicationname, sum(totalbytes) desc
Is there a way I can improve this query to be faster (through my.conf or any other method)?
Any feedback is welcomed.
Thank you.

You never said.
Anyway, it looks like it's using the Primary Key to find the correct rows.
Is that the correct number of rows returned?
5 million?
Sorted?I am using MySQL. By the way, the query time has been much more faster (22 sec) after I changed the configuration file (based on my-huge.cnf).
The number of rows returned is 7999 Rows
This is some portion of the my.cnf

Be aware that XP takes approx 1gb of your RAM leaving you with 1gb for whatever else is running. MS Outlook is also a memory hog.
To check Virtual Memory Settings:
Control Panel -> System
System Properties -> Advanced Tab -> Performance Settings
Performance Options -> Adavanced Tab - Virtual Memory section
Virtual Memory -
what are
* Initial Size
* Maximum Size
In a presentation at one of the Hyperion conferences years ago, Mark Ostroff suggested that the initial be set to the same as Max. (Max is typically 2x physical RAM)
These changes may provide some improvement.

1. SELECT INTO
Below method will create table when data is inserted from one table to another table. Its useful when you need exactly same datatype as source table.
Use AdventureWorks2008R2;
Go
---Insert data using SELECT INTO
SELECT AddressLine1, City
INTO BothellAddresses
FROM Person.Address
where City = 'Bothell';
GO
---VERIFY DATA
Select AddressLine1, City
FROM BothellAddresses
---DROP TABLE
DROP TABLE BothellAddresses
GO
2. INSERT INTO SELECT
Below method will need table to be created prior to inserting data. Its really useful when table is already created and you want insert data from
another table.
Use AdventureWorks2008R2;
Go
---Create Table
CREATE TABLE BothellAddresses (AddressLine1 NVARCHAR(60), City NVARCHAR(30))
---Insert into above table using SELECT
INSERT INTO BothellAddresses(AddressLine1, City)
SELECT AddressLine1, City
FROM Person.Address
where City = 'Bothell';
---VERIFY DATA
Select AddressLine1, City
FROM BothellAddresses
---DROP TABLE
DROP TABLE BothellAddresses
GO

Creating SELECT query between 3 tables

I have also tried many other ways and done research hwich hasnt really helped me unfortunately.

Thanks for the help :)

If you want data from multiple tables you would need to perform a join. The general form would be:
select t1.cola, t2.col2, t3.col.x
from table_a a, table_b b, table_c c
where a.key = b.key
and b.key = c.key
or perhaps c relates back directly to a so it is a.key = c.key where key can be any column whose value is equilivent in what it represents to the value it is being compared to, that is, student_number = student_number or the columns regardless of name are both building numbers, room numbers, etc ....
This is not your exact solution but it should help.

How will use Select-Options in Read table Concept.

Hi All,
              How will use Select-Options in Read table. For example,
      Select-Options : test for bseg-prctr.
       Select * from bseg into table ITAB.
Read table ITAB with key prctr in test.
Last line is showing error. If any way to read ITAB as conditions given per select options.
Thankx Advance,,,

HI,
you cannot use " IN " with read statement , read statement is used as:
READ TABLE it_collect ASSIGNING <fs_collect>
                  WITH KEY   rbpl = <fs_wkdet>-arbpl
                             ufnr = <fs_wkdet>-aufnr.
anyways you can use loop at statement before read to use " into " statement as:
LOOP AT it_master INTO l_master
                                       WHERE werks       = l_werks
hope it will help you

Order mismatch in selected data using Select query

Hello Experts,
We are upgrading from 4.6C to ECC6. I came across a select query on a custom table, which gives different order of data from 4.6C to ECC6. Data (no. of records) is same in both the servers but order is different. Table doesn't have indexes in either 4.6C or ECC6. What would be the cause for order change?
Further, in 4,6C, ECC6 and data bases order of the data is totally different. Select query have some conditions in where clause with select options, but in both the cases (4.6C and ECC6) I am not passing any data from the selection screen so am getting entire data from the data base.
Thanks in advance
Phalani

From the SAP service market place I found that
1. Unless we use SORT or ORDER BY clause the order of the data is not in our control.
2. In 4.6C, two same select queries never give the result in the same order, if the primary key contains character fields.
Thanks for your help.

How to use one query against multiple table and recieve one report?

I have duplicate tables, (except for their names of course) with commodities prices. They have the same column headings, but the data is different of course. I have a query that gives me a certain piece of information I am looking for but now I need to run this query against every table. I will do this every day as well, to see if the buying criteria is met. There are alot of tables though (256). Is there a way to say run query in all tables and return the results in one place? Thanks for your help.

hey
a. the all 256 tables whuld be one big partitoned table
b. you can use all_tables in order to write a select that will write the report for you:

select * from (
select count(*) from DBMS_LOCK_ALLOCATED union all
select count(*) from DBMS_ALERT_INFO union all
select count(*) from DBMS_UPG_LOG$ union all
remove the last 'union all', and tun the generated quary -

Performance issue when using select count on large tables

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement where i need to get count of data from a database table.Later on i need to display the count in ALV format.
As per my requirement, I have to use this select count inside a nested loops.
Below is the count snippet:
LOOP at systems assigning <fs_sc_systems>.
LOOP at date assigning <fs_sc_date>.
SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT crmd_orderadm_i~header )
   FROM crmd_orderadm_i
   INNER JOIN bbp_pdigp
       ON crmd_orderadm_iclient EQ bbp_pdigpclient               "MANDT is referred as client
     AND crmd_orderadm_iguid EQ bbp_pdigpguid
     INTO w_sc_count
WHERE crmd_orderadm_i~created_at BETWEEN <fs_sc_date>-start_timestamp
     AND <fs_sc_date>-end_timestamp
     AND bbp_pdigp~zz_scsys   EQ <fs_sc_systems>-sys_name.
endloop.
endloop.
In the above code snippet,
<fs_sc_systems>-sys_name is having the system name,
<fs_sc_date>-start_timestamp is having the start date of month
and <fs_sc_date>-end_timestamp is the end date of month.
Also the data in tables crmd_orderadm_i and bbp_pdigp is very large and it increases every day.
Now,the above select query is taking a lot of time to give the count due to which i am facing performance issues.
Can any one pls help me out to optimize this code.
Thanks,
Suman

Hi Choudhary Suman ,
Try this:
SELECT crmd_orderadm_i~header

OPtimizing Performance for Select query on NAST table

Hi All,
   We are fetching a single record from NAST table. The table has around 10 Million Entries.
   The Select Query takes around 5-6 minutes to return.
   We are not using the Primary key completely. We are using only one field of the primary key.
    The field is also a part of the Index but we are not using all the fields in the index as well.
    We need to bring down the time. What can be the solution? I cant see any changes to the code, since its a single query and we cant use the Entire Primary key.
   Would creating an Index on the fields that we are concerned with help in this regard.
   Open to all solutions.
Thanks in Advance,
Imran
