Issue with union all in sql

Hi All,
I have a requirement as below.
SELECT 'A' AS 'XXX' FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'B' AS 'XXX' FROM DUAL
I need to check in such a way in my second sql query if 'B'='A' then i need to print 'A' else 'B' , means in my second query i need to compare the value of XXX with the first query value of XXX if it is same then i need to print first query's value of XXX or else need to print second queries XXX value.
Please help me on this

Please help me on thisYour quesiton is not very clear, I would suggest you read {message:id=9360002}.
If you are looking at a way to see the next or previous row from your current row then you can use LEAD or LAG analytical function. They are well documented. You can read all about it there.

  • UNION ALL inthe sql stament

    Hola everyboy,
    I want that one user who hasn`t permiss for edit sql, can do a select with UNION ALL when he want.
    Sometimes he want do selects with UNION, only UNION:
    Select adress FROM TABLE WHERE Column='PEPE'
    UNION
    Select adress FROM TABLE2 WHERE Column='PEPE'
    and sometimes he want do selects with UNION ALL:
    Select adress FROM TABLE WHERE Column='PEPE'
    UNION ALL
    Select adress FROM TABLE2 WHERE Column='PEPE'
    I have seen that if I edit the parameter <Parameter Name="UNION">UNION</Parameter>  in sqlsrv.prm in local machine I could use UNION ALL but this is for ALL selects that I do.
    Is there any other way that I can use?
    Thanks!!

  • Report which concatenates 13 views with union all running slowly

    Oracle 8.1.7 windows 2000 server
    I am trying to improve the performance of a report which is comprised of 13 views.
    When I run each of the views individually, the total run time for the views is less than 5 minutes. When I run the report, it takes 28 minutes.
    Can anyone suggest why the extra time is being taken?
    To reiterate:
    select a,b from c; (executes in 10 seconds)
    select d, e from f (executes in 3 seconds)
    select x, y from z (executes in 1 minute)
    total runs time = 5 minutes
    However,
    select a,b from c
    union all
    select d, e from f
    union all
    select x, y from z (executes in 28 minutes)
    The execution plans do not change between the report and the indiividual views. Views are being concatenated with union all so no sorting is taking place
    Many thanks,
    Jason Parker.

    Could you post the execution plan? Please use formatting tags to save the white space while posting the plan.

  • Inconsistent SQL results when using View with UNION-ALL and table function

    Can any of you please execute the below scripts and check the output. In the table type variable, I am adding 4 distinct object ids, where as in the result, I get only the row pertaining to last id in the table type variable. Same row is returned 4 times (4= number of values in the table type).
    This scenario is occurring in our product with a SQL with exactly same pattern. I could simulate the same issue with the sample script I have provided.

    Any suggestion

    Looks like user_updatable_columns sort of thinks the MV is just a table - I don't know about that...
    An MV on a single table can be updated - I tried that and it works:
    create materialized view mv_table_1 for update
    as
    select * from table_1;I noticed [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16579/advmv.htm#sthref294]examples stating the UNION ALL needs a "marker" so Oracle can know from the data which source table a row in the MV originates from - like this:
    create materialized view v_table_all for update
    as
    select 'T1' tab_id, table_1.* from table_1
    union all
    select 'T2' tab_id, table_2.* from table_2 ;But that also fails (the "marker" requirement was specifically for FAST REFRESH, so it was just a long shot ;-) )
    What are you planning to do?
    <li>Create the MV.
    <li>Update records in the MV - which then is no longer consistent with the source data.
    <li>Schedule a complete refresh once in a while - thereby overwriting/losing the updates in the MV.
    If that is the case, I suggest using a true table rather than an MV.
    <li>Create table t_table_all as select ... .
    <li>Update records in the table - which then is no longer consistent with the source data.
    <li>Schedule a job to delete table and insert into table select ... once in a while - thereby overwriting/losing the updates in the table.
    In other words a kind of "do it yourself MV".
    I cannot see another way at the moment? But perhaps try in the data warehousing forum - the people there may have greater experience with MV's ;-)

    If you expect help, post your actual code and post the error message you're getting. We're not mind readers, so "some error" means nothing to us.

    How can I improve this? Can it be improved? If you do not know the answer, but maybe a suggestion, I will be happy aswell!!!
    Thanks in advance!

    If you want to improve on what Oracle is doing you first need to know 'what Oracle is doing'.
    Post the execution plans for the query that show what Oracle is doing.
    Also post the DDL for the tables and indexes and the record counts for the tables and ID/DATE predicates.

  • Oracle doc inconsistent on materialize view with union all and self joins

    First of all, I can't seem to create a materialized view containing self-joins AND union all. Is it possible?
    I checked Oracle 9i (my version: PL/SQL Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production) documentation and I get different answers (or so it seems to me).
    First I saw this: "The COMPATIBILITY parameter must be set to 9.0 if the materialized aggregate view has inline views, outer joins, self joins or grouping sets and FAST REFRESH is specified during creation..."
    Did you see the part about 'self joins' in there? I did and I was pumped because that seems to say that you CAN have 'self joins' (and my compatibility is 9.2...)
    BUT
    In the very same document I also found "Oracle does not allow self-joins in materialized join views." (rage)
    You can see the document I am speaking of here: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96520/mv.htm#574889
    Whenever I try to create the mview I get the following error. (
    In any caseORA-01446 cannot select ROWID from view with DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc.

  • Different results using View with union all in 11R1 compared to 10R2

    Hello,
    I have the following situation:
    In Oracle 10R2 I defined a view which looks like this
    create view test_view
    as
    select 'field1;field2;field3' field from dual
    union all
    select field
    from (
    select tfield1||';'||tfield2||';'||tfield3 field
    from table1
    order by tfield1,tfield2,tfield3
    The idea is, my first line contains a header information an then the data in the required sorting order.
    So, in 10R2, when I export the view with select field from test_view, I get the result as expected, which means, the header from the part with the dual was in the first line and after that, the data in the required sort order.
    Now, in 11.1.0.7, it is completely different, because the row of the dual is somewhere in my result set. But if I send the sql instead of the view, I get the expected result as in 10R2.
    I have no idea why this is the case now, because in 10R2 this was working permanently as expected. When I look at the execution plan, I see, that he starts parallelisation, which is ok, but the difference is, that in this parallelisation the select from dual is included and in 10R2 he first make the line from the dual and then the parallelisation with the data. It's not clear to me, that if I send the sql to the database I see the required result, but if i define the view as mentioned, and start a select field from view, I get now get the different sorting, because of the parallelisation, where the optimizer he changes his behavior comparing the both database versions. So my question ist, how can I change this behavior to get the same behavior as in release 10R2.
    Best regards
    Rainer

    Hello,
    thank you for your sample, I see your idea for my sorting purpose.
    I want to look at the following point:
    I create the table, as you described. The table has the degree and instances 1. Now I deefine the following view:
    create view view_test
    as
    select 'field1;field2;field3' field
    from dual
    union all
    select tfield1 || ';' || tfield2 || ';' || tfield3 field
    from (select * from table1 order by tfield1,tfield2).
    This is the way I used it in 10 R2.
    Now, the SQL select field from view_test delivers the expected result:
    field1;field2;field3
    a;b;c
    d;e;f
    So far so good. But now, I changed the degree of the table1 (alter table table1 parallel (degree 4 instances 1);).
    The result looks like that:
    a;b;c
    field1;field2;field3
    d;e;f
    So, the parallelisation of my object seems to be the reason for the, in my eyes, "wrong" sort order. In 10R2 I used this degree and instance values for my table and defined a view and it was working fine. Now, after our migration, I had this "trouble". For me it seems, that the optimizer made some changes, or mabe this is a bug, who knows ?
    I also tried, to change the nls_comp, and set the undocumented parameters as described in the Metalink note 7497640.8, but with no effect of my result set.
    Best regards
    Rainer

    This gets translated as listed below during runtime. I am trying to pass a value to both SELECT statements instead of the just the bottom select statement. Is this possible using interactive reports.

    Thanks for any help,

    The bottom query is actually the third query, it encompasses the two that are unioned. It is generated by APEX to allow for the search facility - to achieve what you want ignore the larger query, and get your query working in something like SQL developer. Once it's working then put it into APEX, and the search wrapper will be generated.
    select property,saddr1,upostdate,sotherdate1,journal_control-1000000000,account,sdesc,uref,
    suserdefined1,trans_notes,samount,detail_notes
    from journal_entries
    where property = :YOUR_CRITERIA
    union all
    select property,saddr1,upostdate,sotherdate1,journal_control-700000000,account,sdesc,uref,
    suserdefined1,trans_notes,stotalamount,detail_notes
    from charge_entries
    where property = :YOUR_CRITERIA;
    Then you need to think about how you are using the report, if it is linked to from another report, then create a hidden variable and pass it from the parent.
    If the report is standalone , then you could create an item , that can be edited and when submitted, re-executes the report based on the criteria entered.

  • Performance issues with dynamic action (PL/SQL)

    Hi!
    I'm having perfomance issues with a dynamic action that is triggered on a button click.
    I have 5 drop down lists to select columns which the users want to filter, 5 drop down lists to select an operation and 5 boxes to input values.
    After that, there is a filter button that just submits the page based on the selected filters.
    This part works fine, the data is filtered almost instantaneously.
    After this, I have 3 column selectors and 3 boxes where users put values they wish to update the filtered rows to,
    There is an update button that calls the dynamic action (procedure that is written below).
    It should be straight out, the only performance issue could be the decode section, because I need to cover cases when user wants to set a value to null (@) and when he doesn't want update 3 columns, but less (he leaves '').
    Hence P99_X_UC1 || ' = decode('  || P99_X_UV1 ||','''','|| P99_X_UC1  ||',''@'',null,'|| P99_X_UV1  ||')
    However when I finally click the update button, my browser freezes and nothing happens on the table.
    Can anyone help me solve this and improve the speed of the update?
    Regards,
    Ivan

    END;

    Hi Ivan,
    I do not think that the decode is performance relevant. Maybe the update hangs because some other transaction has uncommitted changes to one of the affected rows or the where clause is not selective enough and needs to update a huge amount of records.
    Besides that - and I might be wrong, because I only know some part of your app - the code here looks like you have a huge sql injection vulnerability here. Maybe you should consider re-writing your logic in static sql. If that is not possible, you should make sure that the user input only contains allowed values, e.g. by white-listing P99_X_On (i.e. make sure they only contain known values like '=', '<', ...), and by using dbms_assert.enquote_name/enquote_literal on the other P99_X_nnn parameters.

  • Memory leak issue with link server between SQL Server 2012 and Oracle

    Hi,
    We are trying to use the linked server feature with SQL Server 2012 to connect SQL server and Oracle database. We are concerned about the existing memory leak issue.  For more context please refer to the link.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/psssql/archive/2009/09/22/if-you-use-linked-server-queries-you-need-to-read-this.aspx
    The above link talks about the issues with SQL Server versions 2005 and 2008, not sure if this is still the case in 2012.  I could not find any article that talks about if this issue was fixed by Microsoft in later version.
    We know that SQL Server process crashes because of the third-party linked server provider which is loaded inside SQL Server process. If the third-party linked server provider is enabled together with the
    Allow inprocess option, the SQL Server process crashes when this third-party linked server experiences internal problems.
    We wanted to know if this fixed in SQL Server 2012 ?

    So your question is more of a information type or are you really facing OOM issue.
    There can be two things for OOM
    1. There is bug in SQL Server which is causing the issue which might be fixed in 2012
    2. The Linked server provider used to connect to Oracle is not upto date and some patch is missing or more recent version is to be used.  Did you made sure that you are using latest version.
    What is Oracle version you are trying to connect(9i,10g, R2...)

  • Order by decode statement with Union all

    Hi
    I use Database Version: Oracle 9.2.0.1.0
    OCI version 9.2
    I try to use order by decode while i have a select base on union and I get en error:
    ORA-01785: ORDER BY item must be the number of a SELECT-list expression
    Here is my code:
    select catalog_type, catalog_id, item_id, item_name
    from items_catalog
    union all
    select catalog_type, catalog_id, organisation_unit_id, organisation_unit_name
    from units_catalog
    order by decode(catalog_type, 1, item_id, organisation_unit_id)
    If I use the decode on a select statement without union, it works.
    What I have to do in order to make it work on union all select?
    Tnx

    Hi,
    Here's a slightly different way:
    COLUMN     sort_key   NOPRINT
    VARIABLE     catalog_type_wanted     VARCHAR2 (5)
    EXEC         :catalog_type_wanted := '4'; 
    SELECT       catalog_id, item_id, item_name
    ,       CASE
               WHEN  :catalog_type_wanted = '1'  THEN  '1'
                                               ELSE  '2'
           END || item_id          AS sort_key
    FROM       items_catalog
          UNION ALL
    SELECT    catalog_id, organisation_unit_id, organisation_unit_name
    ,       CASE
               WHEN  :catalog_type_wanted = '1'  THEN  '2'
                                               ELSE  '1'
           END || organisation_unit_name     AS sort_key
    FROM       units_catalog
    ORDER BY  sort_key
    ;This way guarantees that (for example) 'SHOP50' comes before 'SHOP58', whether or not they are in the first half of the output or the second half.
    Notice that this uses the SQL*Plus COLUMN ... NOPRINT command to hide the sort_key column.
    If you're not using SQL*Plus, then whatever front end you are using may have a similar feature.
    If not, then you can do the UNION in a sub-query, as Daniel did, but do the ORDER BY in the main query (only).
