Join Two EXEC statements

Hi Team,
I want to join two dynamic sql with a UNION in between
EXEC(@STRSQLNOArchive+' UNION' + @STRSQLArchive) 
But here it is throwing an error .How this can be done
SET @STRSQLNOArchive= 'Select columnname1 from table 1'
SET @STRSQLArchive= 'Select columnname2 from table 2'
Result should be like this
Select columnname1 from table 1
UNION
Select columnname2 from table 2
Thanks,
Divya

this is the query i m using

  • How do you join two tables from different Oracle schemas using a subquery

    I am trying to join two tables from different Oracle schemas using a subquery. I can extract data from each of the tables without a problem. However, when I combine the select statements using a subquery I get the Oracle error *'ORA-00936: missing expression'*. Since each SELECT statement executes on its own without error I don't understand what is missing. The result set I am trying to get is to match up the LINE_ID from PDTABLE_12_1 in schema DD_12809 with the MAT_DESCRIPTION from table PDTABLE_201 in schema RA_12809.
    The query is as follows:
    sql = "SELECT [DD_12809].[PDTABLE_12_1].LINE_ID FROM [DD_12809].[PDTABLE_12_1] JOIN " _
    + "(SELECT [RA_12809].[PDTABLE_201].MAT_DESCRIPTION " _
    + "FROM [RA_12809].[PDTABLE_201]) AS FAB " _
    + "ON [DD_12809].[PDTABLE_12_1].PIPING_MATER_CLASS = FAB.PIPING_MATER_CLASS"
    The format of the query is copied from a SQL programming manual.
    I also tried executing the query using a straight JOIN on the two tables but got the same results. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!
    Edited by: user11338343 on Oct 19, 2009 6:55 AM

    I believe you are receiving the error because you are trying to JOIN on a column that doesn't exist. For example you are trying to join on FAB.PIPING_MATER_CLASS but that column does not exist in the subquery.
    If you want to do a straight join without a subquery you could do the following
    SELECT  DD_12809.PDTABLE_12_1.LINE_ID
    ,       FAB.MAT_DESCRIPTION
    FROM    DD_12809.PDTABLE_12_1
    JOIN    RA_12809.PDTABLE_201    AS FAB ON DD_12809.PDTABLE_12_1.PIPING_MATER_CLASS = FAB.PIPING_MATER_CLASS  HTH!

  • Joining two fact tables with different dimensions into single logical table

    Hi Gurus,
    I try to accomplish in Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.3.0:
    F1 (D1, D2 and D3)
    F2 (D1 and D2 and D4)
    And we want to build a report F1 F2 D1 D2 D3 D4 to have data for:
    F1 that match only for D1-D2-D3
    and data for
    F2 that match only D1-D2-D4
    all that in one row, so D3 and D4 are not common dimensions.
    I can only do:
    F3 (D1, D2)
    F4 (D1, D2 and D4)
    And report
    F3 F4 D1,D2,D4 (all that in one row, and only D4 is not a common dimension)
    Here is the very good example how to accomplish the scenario 1
    http://108obiee.blogspot.com/2009/08/joining-two-fact-tables-with-different.html
    But looks like it does not work in 11.1.1.3.0
    I get
    State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 14025] No fact table exists at the requested level of detail: [,,Clients,,Day,ROI,,,,EW_Names,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,]. (HY000)
    I am sure I set up everything correctly as advised in the blog but it works with only one not a common dimension
    Is it a bug in 11.1.1.3.0 or something?
    Thanks,
    Kate

    Thanks for all your replies.
    Actually, I've tried the solutions you guys mentioned. Generally speaking, the result should be displayed. However, my scenario is a little bit tricky.
    table Y's figures are not the aggregation of table X for D dimension. Instead, table Y's figures include not only D dimension total, but also others (others do not mean A, B, C dimension). For example, table Y stores all food's figure, while table X stores only drink's figure. D dimension is only about drink's detail. In my scenario, other foods' figure is not provided.
    So, even if I set D dimension to all/total for table X, table X's result is still not the same as table Y.
    Indeed, table Y does not have a column key to join to D dimension's key. So, if I select D dimension and table Y's measures at the same time in BI Answer, result returns no data. Hence, I can't compare table X and table Y's results with selection of D dimension.
    Is there any solution to solve this problem?

  • Join two source tables and replicat into a target table with BLOB

    Hi,
    I am working on an integration to source transaction data from legacy application to ESB using GG.
    What I need to do is join two source tables (to de-normalize the area_id) to form the transaction detail, then transform by concatenate the transaction detail fields into a value only CSV, replicate it on the target ESB IN_DATA table's BLOB content field.
    Based on what I had researched, lookup by join two source tables require SQLEXEC, which doesn't support BLOB.
    What alternatives are there and what GG recommend in such use case?
    Any helpful advice is much appreciated.
    thanks,
    Xiaocun

    Xiaocun,
    Not sure what you're data looks like but it's possible the the comma separated value (CSV) requirement may be solved by something like this in your MAP statement:
    colmap (usedefaults,
    my_blob = @STRCAT (col02, ",", col03, ",", col04)
    Since this is not 1:1 you'll be using a sourcedefs file, which is nice because it will do the datatype conversion for you under the covers (also a nice trick when migrating long raws to blobs). So col02 can be varchar2, col03 a number, and col04 a clob and they'll convert in real-time.
    Mapping two tables to one is simple enough with two MAP statements, the harder challenge is joining operations from separate transactions because OGG is operation based and doesn't work on aggregates. It's possible you could end up using a combination of built in parameters and funcations with SQLEXEC and SQL/PL/SQL for more complicated scenarios, all depending on the design of the target table. But you have several scenarios to address.
    For example, is the target table really a history table or are you actually going to delete from it? If just the child is deleted but you don't want to delete the whole row yet, you may want to use NOCOMPRESSDELETES & UPDATEDELETES and COLMAP a new flag column to denote it was deleted. It's likely that the insert on the child may really mean an update to the target (see UPDATEINSERTS).
    If you need to update the LOB by appending or prepending new data then that's going to require some custom work, staging tables and a looping script, or a user exit.
    Some parameters you may want to become familiar with if not already:
    COLS | COLSEXCEPT
    COLMAP
    OVERRIDEDUPS
    INSERTDELETES
    INSERTMISSINGUPDATES
    INSERTUPDATES
    GETDELETES | IGNOREDELETES
    GETINSERTS | IGNOREINSERTS
    GETUPDATES | IGNOREUPDATES

  • Join two remote sites, use_nl or use_hash

    We are using Oracle 10g R2 on Linux platform.
    Suppose we have three remote sites A, B and C. I want to join two tables on B and C by executing a query on Site A. I cannot give driving_site hint because I do not have privileges for that.
    Can you please answer the following question?
    If I use nested loop join, both tables on site B and C shall be copied to the local site A and join shall be performed OR only one table, called the deriving table shall be copied on site A  and second table shall be probed remotely?
    In Hash Join, Oracle shall copy both tables B and C on site A and then perform the join?

    No; it means that when you are trying to work out whether or not a nested loop join .......
    Can you please tell me scenario where I should use NL instead of Hash join
    This means that the point at which you decide to switch from NL to Hash join will typically be for a smaller number of cycles round the loop, i.e. for a smaller amount of data.
    Sorry, I could not get this point. Does it mean that we should use hash join when we have tables to join?
    Do you have a URL for the document you read that gave this impression
    Actually this is Oracle 8i documentation from which i get this concept, perhaps not feasible in Oracle 10g now. Tuning Distributed Queries
    For the nested loop, the rows and columns needed by the outer (first) table will be pulled to the local site in relatively small batches, and for each row in that rowsource the inner (second) table will be probed across the network.
    Can you please give me reference from Oracle documentation about the the above description to help me better understand the idea?

  • How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables ...

    How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables to get an inline view which is used in an update statement?
    O.K. I think I have to explain what I mean:
    When joining two tables which have many entries sometimes it es better not to use an index on the column used as join criteria.
    I have two tables: table A and table B.
    Table A has 4.000.000 entries and table B has 700.000 entries.
    I have a join of both tables with a numeric column as join criteria.
    There is an index on this column in table A.
    So I instead of
      where (A.col = B.col)I want to use
      where (A.col+0 = B.col)in order to prevent Oracle from using the index.
    When I use the join in a select statement it works.
    But when I use the join as inline view in an update statement I get the error ORA-01779.
    When I remove the "+0" the update statement works. (The column col is unique in table B).
    Any ideas why this happens?
    Thank you very much in advance for any help.
    Regards Hartmut

    I think you should post an properly formatted explain plan output using DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY including the "Predicate Information" section below the plan to provide more details regarding your query resp. update statement. Please use the \[code\] and \[code\] tags to enhance readability of the output provided:
    In SQL*Plus:
    SET LINESIZE 130
    EXPLAIN PLAN FOR <your statement>;
    SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY);Usually if you're using the CBO (cost based optimizer) and have reasonable statistics gathered on the database objects used the optimizer should be able to determine if it is better to use the existing index or not.
    Things look different if you don't have statistics, you have outdated/wrong statistics or deliberately still use the RBO (rule based optimizer). In this case you would have to use other means to prevent the index usage, the most obvious would be the already mentioned NO_INDEX or FULL hint.
    But I strongly recommend to check in first place why the optimizer apparently seems to choose an inappropriate index access path.

  • Joining two tables in PL/SQL

    Hi there,
    I have two problems...first being:
    We are trying to run a sub-query within a WHERE/AND clause. I am not sure on the correct syntax on how to run the sub-query as denoted in the code below. Secondly I am trying to join two tables with a common column name (ie: CIPIDI_NR). Considering I cant fix the first problem I cant test out the sub-query. So any help on either would be grateful. Cheers
    Select *
    from TBL_CIPIDI
         WHERE CIPIDI_NR like nvl ('in_case_number%', CIPIDI_NR)
    AND CIPIDI_NAME like nvl ('in_case_name%', CIPIDI_NAME)
    AND COST_CENTRE LIKE NVL ('in_cost_centre%', COST_CENTRE)
    AND CIPIDI_DESCRIPTION like nvl ('in_description%', CIPIDI_DESCRIPTION)
    AND CLAIMANT_NAME LIKE NVL ('in_claimant%', CLAIMANT_NAME)
    AND REQUESTOR LIKE NVL ('in_requestor%', REQUESTOR)
    AND PROJECT_MANAGER LIKE NVL ('in_project_manager%', PROJECT_MANAGER)

    You really need to start providing create table and insert statements for tables and sample data for testing, the results that you want based on that data in order to clarify the problem, your Oracle version, and a copy and paste of an attempted run of your code, complete with any error messages received. The following is my best guess at what you might be looking for.
    Select *
    from   TBL_TEAM_MEMBERS C1, TBL_CIPIDI C2
    WHERE  C1.CIPIDI_NR = C2.CIPIDI_NR

    1 <XML document 1>
    1 <XML document 2>
    1 <XML document 3>
    2 <XML document 4>
    2 <XML document 5>
    I would like <xml stylesheet doc A> to transform only XML doc that have an id of 1, so I tried this sql statement:
    select a.stylesheet_doc ,b.xml_doc from Table_1 a, Table_2 b where a.id=b.id and a.id=1;
    This statement returns the rows I want (stylesheet doc with id equals 1, and xml_doc with id equals 1), but it pairs each xml document with a style sheet.
    stylesheet doc A <XML document 1>
    stylesheet doc A <XML document 2>
    stylesheet doc A <XML document 3>
    My question is, is there a way to have a result that looks like this?
    stylesheet doc A
    <XML document 1>
    <XML document 2>
    <XML document 3>
    That is, is there a way in sql to get rid of duplicate stylesheet doc A?
    I have tried group by and rollup and xmlagg.
    Thank you very, very much for your help.

    Hi, Jim,
    Welcome to the forum!
    You just want to display the XML, not actually transform it, right?
    GROUP BY ROLLUP should work, but I find it easier with GROUP BY GROUPING SETS. Here's an example from tables in the scott schema:
    SELECT       CASE
              WHEN  GROUPING (ename) = 1
              THEN  d.dname
           END          AS dname
    ,       e.ename
    FROM       scott.dept     d
    JOIN       scott.emp     e  ON     d.deptno     = e.deptno
    GROUP BY  GROUPING SETS ( (d.dname, e.ename)
                   , (d.dname)
    ORDER BY  d.dname
    ,       ename          NULLS FIRST
    ;Output:
    DNAME          ENAME
    ACCOUNTING
                   CLARK
                   KING
                   MILLER
    RESEARCH
                   ADAMS
                   FORD
                   JONES
                   SCOTT
                   SMITH
    SALES
                   ALLEN
                   BLAKE
                   JAMES
                   MARTIN
                   TURNER
                   WARDYou may have noticed that this site noramlly compresses whitespace.
    Whenever you post formatted text (such as query results) on this site, type these 6 characters:
    \(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section of formatted text, to preserve spacing.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

  • Exec.State and Start Asynchrono​us Call

    In my application I like to start a VI asynchronously by pressing a button control. I just want to have one instance of the VI running so I let the caller test if the VI is already running. Unfortunately there seems to be a bug in the Exec.State property if you use it with a VI reference that has been built with a type specifier. It returns always "Running" as state.
    I found a workaround by first openening a "normal" reference to the VI, questioning the Exec.State property, closing the reference and opening the "typed" reference. That works like I think it should.
    My question: Is this difference in behaviour of the "VI" property node and the "VI Interface Type 1" property node by design or is this a bug in LV 2012 (I have not tested it with another version) ?
    Matthias

    I just wanted to point out about the very reason of the situation:
    These are the options you can read by the Execution State property. As already marked, "Running" indicates that the VI is (at least) reserved for execcution. It does not necessarily mean that the VI is actually executing!
    That being said, opening a typified reference to the VI already reserves the VI for running, hence your property node returns this value.
    Your workaround seems to be well-thought out and should work in any case. Y already gave another option of handling this situation.
    I doubt that there is another, better solution other to these two.

  • Joining two Tables

    Hi
    I am beginner in Oracle. I want some help in joining two tables and adding a new attribute to the resulting table
    For xample:
    Table Name: Texas*
    Ename   Enumber  Sal
    John 1 10
    Akl 2 20
    Renka 3 25
    Table Name: California_
    Ename     Enumber     Sal
    Rada 4 15
    Paul 5 16
    Mikler 6 12
    Now I want to join these Tables Texas and California and I want to Add Another attribute to the resulting table State
    Table Name: Emplyee_
    Ename     Enumber     Sal      State
    John 1 10 Texas
    Akl 2 20 Texas
    Renka 3 25 Texas
    Rada 4 15 California
    Paul 5 16 California
    Mikler 6 12 California
    Thanks in advance

    Are you sure you want to join the tables? It seems like you want to UNION them
    SELECT ename, enumber, sal, 'Texas' state
      FROM texas
    UNION ALL
    SELECT ename, enumber, sal, 'California' state
      FROM californiaOf course, having different tables for different states is a very poor way to model employee data, so I'd strongly suggest fixing that problem if these are real tables rather than a school assignment.

  • Join two xmltype table using Xquery

    I am wondering how to join two xmltype tables in xml db database. both tables are schema based object-relational tables.
    these are the examples:
    academicProgram table contain batch of academicprogram.xml entries
    <academicProgram>
    <listOfCourse>
    <course><id>1</id></course>
    <course><id>2</id></course>
    </listOfCourse>
    </academicProgram>
    course table contain all the course entries, each of them is an xml file based on the the course schema. for example,
    course1.xml
    <course>
    <id>1</id>
    <title>xxxxxxx</title>
    <description>xxxxxxxxxxxxxx</description>
    </course>
    I used the following xquery code to merge the detailed course information from course table to the academic program information
    select *
    from XMLTable(
    for $program in ora:view("HTU", "ACADEMICPROGRAM")
    return <academicProgram xmlns="http://www.mdanderson.org/schema/APEP/courseCatalog"
         for $node in $program/academicProgram/node()
         return if (name($node) eq "listOfCourse")
              then (
                   <listOfCourse>{
                   for $i in $node/course
                   for $j in ora:view("HTU", "COURSE")/course
                   where $i/id eq $j/id
                   return $j
                   }</listOfCourse>
              else $node
         </academicProgram>
    it did return what I want, but the problem is it take more than 5 minutes to finish. is there someway to make it run faster? I have been struggling for a week, please help.
    thanks in advance.

  • Joining two tables using PL/SQL

    here i am trying to join two tables can any one tell me what is wrong with this syntex
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test IS
    CURSOR c1 IS SELECT seq,fname,lname from t1;
    CURSOR c2 IS SELECT seq1,q,a from t2;
    userjob number;
    BEGIN
         OPEN c1;
    insert into t3 values(c1.seq,c1.fname,c1.lname);
         FETCH c1.seq INTO userjob;
    FOR c1rec IN c2 LOOP
    IF (c1rec.seq=c1.seq and c1rec.q1='why') THEN
    insert into t3 values(c1rec.q1,c1rec.a1);
    elsif (c1rec.seq=c1.seq and c1rec.q1='what') then
    insert into t3 values(c1rec.q2,c1rec.a2);
    elsif (c1rec.seq=c1.seq and c1rec.q1='when') then
    insert into t3 values(c1rec.q3,c1rec.a3);
    elsif (c1rec.seq=c1.seq and c1rec.q1='where') then
    insert into t3 values(c1rec.q4,c1rec.a4);
         END IF;
         END LOOP;
         END;
    /

    You should always fetch a cursor before using it's values. All columns in the select should be fetched into variables or a record-variable. You can't refer to the cursor-columns values with c1.seq etc.
    r1 c1%rowtype;
    l_found boolean;
    BEGIN
    OPEN c1;
    FETCH c1 INTO r1;
    insert into t3 values(r1.seq,r1.fname,r1.lname);
    l_found := c1%found;
    close c1;
    if l_found
    then
    It is also better to close the cursor and check if the select resulted in a row. With this code you will only retrieve one row even if the select will result in multiple rows.
    But I agree with all the others that this can probably be done more efficiently with one SQL statement.
