Issue with where clause

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to combine a subquery in where clause but could not get it to work. Does anyone have better idea how can i achieve this?
>
select l.olic_id, l.olic_key, o.trading_name , p.name, l.olic_term, l.expire_date, l.status
from table1 l, table2 o, table3 p, table4 a
where l.cop_id=o.cop_id
and o.par_id=p.par_id
and l.olic_id=a.olic_id and ( select scripts from tb_scripts where dst_id=66)
>
Sub query in the where clause return -
AB is not null or BC is not null or AC is not null or CA is not null or DE is not nullThe region I want to use subquery because it contains more than 60 columns for each dst_id.
Please give me some suggestion. I hope this make sense.

Answer 1

Here is my table structure -
CREATE TABLE TB_SCRIPTS
  DST_ID    NUMBER,
  SCRIPTS   VARCHAR2(500 BYTE)
)Sample data for TB_SCRIPTS table -
dst_id     scripts
66     AB is not null or BC is not null or AC is not null or CA is not null or DE is not null
65     AB is not null or CA is not null or DE is not null
67     CA is not null or DE is not nulltable structure for TABLE4 -
CREATE      TABLE      TABLE4
PK_ID      NUMBER,
OLIC_ID      NUMBER,
AB      VARCHAR2(200),
BC      VARCHAR2(200),
AC      VARCHAR2(200),
CA      VARCHAR2(200),
DE      VARCHAR2(200),
EF      VARCHAR2(200)
)OLIC_ID is the foreign key in this table referencing table1.
sample data for TABLE4 -
pk_id     olic_id     AB     BC     AC     CA     DE     EF
1     123     6     2          8     
2     23          9     2     0     1
3     123     0     2     1          7
4     44                              7
5     12     8     1                    8Table1 structure -
CREATE      TABLE      TABLE1
OLIC_ID      NUMBER,
OLIC_KEY      VARCHAR2(20),
OLIC_TERM      VARCHAR2(20),
EXPIRE_DATE      DATE,
STATUS      VARCHAR2(60)
)Some sample data -
OLIC_ID     OLIC_KEY     OLIC_TERM     EXPIRE_DATE     STATUS
123     TR42332          1 Year          12/06/2010     Current
154     TR43232          2 Years          24/08/2011     Current     
122     TR32422          2 Months     23/01/2009     ExpiredOther tables are not necessary to include here. Basically TABLE1 and TABLE4 joining to retrieve data here. Hope this make sense.
