Joining two tables, sql query

This is a newbie question! I would like to join two tables. Table_1 contains xml stylesheets:
id stylesheet doc
1 <xml stylesheet doc A>
2 <xml stylesheet doc B>
And Table_2 contains the XML documents that the stylesheets will transform:
id XML doc
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.

Outer join two tables with query search record attached to both tables

When I create a query with two tables that have query search records attached with outer join, PS seems to do a natural join (cartesian). We are on PT8.48.
Is there a workaround for this issue. I do not want to remove query search record on either of the tables.
I am trying to create an Emergency contact report. I am using two tables PS_EMPLOYEES and PS_EMERGENCY_CNTCT. Here is the sql PeopleSoft query generated when I did Left outer Join.
Query SQL:
SELECT A.EMPLID, A.NAME, A.ADDRESS1, A.CITY, B.PRIMARY_CONTACT, B.ADDRESS1, B.CITY, B.STATE, B.POSTAL, B.RELATIONSHIP, A.DEPTID, A.JOBCODE, A.COMPANY, A.EMPL_TYPE
FROM (PS_EMPLOYEES A LEFT OUTER JOIN PS_EMERGENCY_CNTCT B ON A.EMPLID = B.EMPLID ), PS_EMPLMT_SRCH_QRY A1, PS_PERS_SRCH_QRY B1
WHERE A.EMPLID = A1.EMPLID
AND A.EMPL_RCD = A1.EMPL_RCD
AND A1.OPRID = 'SREESR'
AND (B.EMPLID = B1.EMPLID OR B.EMPLID IS NULL )
AND B1.OPRID = 'PS'
Appreciate any help.

I think there are fixes for this issue in later tools releases (Report ID 1544345000). I'm not sure about 8.48, but you might try the workaround documented in
E-QR: Left Outer Joins with Security Records are returning unexpected results [ID 651252.1]
on Oracle Support.

Join two tables to query the difference of both

Hi,
I think my problem is not the hardest, but I don't find a solution.
- i have two tables: t_old, t_new
- both have the same attribute (item_nr)
- t_new exists of some rows from t_old and some new rows
I want to query only the new rows from t_new, that aren't in the table t_old.
Who can help me please..???
Regards,
Steffen

wrong forum, sorry, but i got it in another forum:
select * from t_new n
where not exists
(select 1 from t_old o
where n.item_nbr = o.item_nbr)
(THX to Keith Jamieson)
or
select * from t_new
minus
select * from t_old
(THX to Boneist)

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)
AND TEAM_LEADER LIKE NVL ('in_team_leader%', TEAM_LEADER)
     AND ********RUN THE QUERY BELOW************
SELECT C1.CIPIDI_NR, C2.CIPIDI_NR
from TBL_TEAM_MEMBERS C1, TBL_CIPIDI C2
     WHERE C1.CIPIDI_NR = C2.CIPIDI_NR
     AND TEAM_MEM_NAME LIKE NVL ('in_team_mem_name%', TEAM_MEM_NAME)
);

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
AND    c1.CIPIDI_NR          like nvl (in_case_number     || '%', c1.CIPIDI_NR)
AND    c1.CIPIDI_NAME        like nvl (in_case_name       || '%', c1.CIPIDI_NAME)
AND    c1.COST_CENTRE        LIKE NVL (in_cost_centre     || '%', c1.COST_CENTRE)
AND    c1.CIPIDI_DESCRIPTION like nvl (in_description     || '%', c1.CIPIDI_DESCRIPTION)
AND    c1.CLAIMANT_NAME      LIKE NVL (in_claimant        || '%', c1.CLAIMANT_NAME)
AND    c1.REQUESTOR          LIKE NVL (in_requestor       || '%', c1.REQUESTOR)
AND    c1.PROJECT_MANAGER    LIKE NVL (in_project_manager || '%', c1.PROJECT_MANAGER)
AND    c1.TEAM_LEADER        LIKE NVL (in_team_leader     || '%', c1.TEAM_LEADER)
AND    TEAM_MEM_NAME         LIKE NVL (in_team_mem_name   || '%', TEAM_MEM_NAME);

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.

Joining two tables having no common fields using one select query

Hi Experts,
How to join two tables which are NOT having any field in common using only one select query?
Your help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Identify a third table (or more tables) with common fields with your two tables, or change your question either removing JOIN or removing NO COMMON FIELDS, else you wont get many responses and will be left alone in outer space, as suggested by Thomas.
If you acturally require what you written, better execute two select and merge the two internal tables merging every record from first table with every record of second table, til no more memory is available.

Raymond

Need help to join two tables using three joins, one of which is a (between) date range.

I am trying to develop a query in MS Access 2010 to join two tables using three joins, one of which is a (between) date range. The tables are contained in Access. The reason
the tables are contained in access because they are imported from different ODBC warehouses and the data is formatted for uniformity. I believe this cannot be developed using MS Visual Query Designer. I think writing a query in SQL would be suiting this project.
ABCPART links to XYZPART. ABCSERIAL links to XYZSERIAL. ABCDATE links to (between) XYZDATE1 and ZYZDATE2.

Thank you for the looking at the post. The actual table names are rather ambiguous. I renamed them so it would make more sense. I will explain more and give the actual names. What I do not have is the actual data in the table. That is something I don't have
on this computer. There are no "Null" fields in either of the tables.
This table has many orders (MSORDER) that need to match one order (GLORDER) in GLORDR. This is based on MSPART joined to GLPART, MSSERIAL joined to GLSERIAL, and MSOPNDATE joined if it falls between GLSTARTDATE and GLENDDATE.

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!

Cartesian join in the SQL query

Hi,
I have a problem when joining two tables that cannot join directly. As I read (please correct me if I'm wrong), two dims have to join by one fact in order to extract information from them. This way, I created logical source tables with SQL query that join both dims. So, if for example Dim A and Dim B cannot join directly, I created a "mapping table" which is a select that joins these 2 tables in the proper way and the fields are the row_wids from these tables. This way, I created the following model diagram for this relationship:
DimActivity -< FactMapping >- DimPNR
DimActivity -< FactActivity >- DimMapping
DimPNR -< FactPNR >- DimMapping
Now, I can extract information from both dims and their metrics, except in one case; If I extract info from ("Segment Designer") "Dim-Activity", "Dim-PNR", "Fact-Activity" and "Fact-PNR", I get a query that first calculates the metric from Activity, then calculates the metric from PNR, and when it joins both queries, I get cardinality because it doesn't join through the "mapping tables". The whole query is:
WITH
SAWITH0 AS (select sum(T690608."QTY") as c1,
T690608."ASSET_NUM" as c2
from "W_ASSET_D" T690608 /* Dim_W_ASSET_D */
group by T690608."ASSET_NUM"),
SAWITH1 AS (select sum(T682428."COST") as c1,
T682428."STATUS_WID" as c2
from "W_ACTIVITY_F" T682428 /* Dim_W_ACTIVITY_F */
group by T682428."STATUS_WID")
select distinct SAWITH0.c2 as c1,SAWITH1.c2 as c2,SAWITH1.c1 as c3,SAWITH0.c1 as c4
from
SAWITH0,SAWITH1
Why there is no condition joining SAWITH0 and SAWITH1? Is there a way to force this to be an inner join? I'm looking forward to your answer, since this problem is urgent within this project. Thank you in advance

Ok.
I assume that you have for one activity several asset PNR and for one asset several activity.
The factPNR is on this way a real bridge table. It's a way to be able to design a many-to-many relationship.
Have a look here for more detail on how to build a many-to-many relationship :
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dw/data_quality/relationships#many-to-many
Therefore I assume that you want this design :
DimActivity -< FactActivity >- < FactPNR >- DimPNR and you will have :
DimActivity -< FactActivity >- < BridgeTable >- DimPNR How to build your bridge table ?
In the physical layer, :
* create a new table BridgeActivityPNR, open it and select "statement"
* enter your sql statement
SELECT DISTINCT A.ROW_WID ACTIVIDAD_WID, B.ROW_WID ASSET_WID
FROM W_ACTIVITY_F A,
W_ASSET_D B,
W_SRVREQ_D C,
X_S_CMPT_MTRC_F D,
X_S_ASSET_FEA_D E
WHERE A.X_SRA_SR_ID=C.INTEGRATION_ID AND
C.X_VLG_FLIGHT_ID=D.X_ROW_ID AND
D.X_ROW_ID=E.X_CM_ID AND
E.X_ASSET_ID=B.X_ROW_ID* add two columns in the column tab : ACTIVIDAD_WID and ASSET_WID
* create the physical join with the table FactActivity and DimPNR
* drag and drop in the business model your table BridgeActivityPNR
* in the BMM, create the complex join like this :
DimActivity -< FactActivity >- < BridgeTable >- DimPNR * open your logical bridge table and check the bridge table option.
And you are done if I didn't forget anything.

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.

If I want to join two table together .
I want to search the number of record in IMEI that have N_SIM_STATE =1 in RCA_SMART_CARD .
The MSISDN in IMEI is equal to C_SIM_MSISDN in RCA_SMART_CARD .
How can I do and what is the sql statment ??
Please advice .

First you need to decide, from where you want to execute the query.
Let us assume it is instance A(as per your example).
Then what you need to do is:
1.     Create database link to instance B
*[url http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10g/server.101/b10759/statements_5005.htm]Here* is the semantics.
2.     After creating the database link to instance B, you can achieve the result set by running the below query:
        SQL> select count(*) from IMEI t1 join RCA_SMART_CARD@<db_link_name> t2 on t1.MSISDN = t2.C_SIM_MSISDN where t2.N_SIM_STATE = 1
        Hope it helps!

Error joining two tables in graph pane

While trying to join two tables by draging one column onto a column of another table in a graph pane, an error dialog with the following message appears:

How do join two tables in the query editor graphically?

I also have the same problem. I use MySQL. I do not have any foreign keys in my tables. If I try to create table joins graphically myself I get the following error:
"Drag and drop failed. Please drag a column from one table in the graph onto a column of another table in the graph pane. If you are trying to create a self join, please create another instance of the table and adding same table to the graph pane."
When I type SQL query(similar to the following) in the in the query editor it dosent work: (As a result same row is appearing more than one time when I test the application)
WHERE login.USERNAME=me.NAME
In the above Mayagiri suggested a turorial using Pointbase and tables with foreign keys which is not directly connected with problem.(Beacuse it seems no problems in Pointbase tables with foreign keys)
Any further is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Join two table (Inner Join)

how to join two tables using inner join.

Tariq,
Pretty vague question. You can create joins in an ABAP program, or while creating a view, or when creating a SAP query of one type or another. Some people download tables and then join them using desktop software. If you can elaborate your question I may be able to give you a better answer.
I recently joined two wooden tables at a picnic. I used 24 gauge galvanized wire combined with duct tape, so I guess you couldn't really call that an 'inner join'.
