Limit size (in byte) of SELECT-OPTIONS in WHERE clauses

hi,
as far as I know there is a limit size (in byte) for SELECT-OPTIONS used in WHERE clauses. Is it true? What is the limit? If the SELECT-OPTIONS is based on lifnr (character type, 10 long) is the following calculation valid?
sign - 1 byte
option - 2 bytes
low - 10 bytes
high - 10 bytes
23 bytes all together for one line, is this valid?
thanks

SELECT-OPTIONS in WHERE condition

Hi All,
SELECT-OPTIONS : S_TCODE FOR TSTCT-TCODE.
START-OF-SELECTION.
SELECT * FROM TSTCT INTO TABLE IT_TSTCT
WHERE TCODE = S_TCODE.
The same code results in SYNTAX ERROR in 4.7c.
In ECC 6.0, no such error resulted, but SUBRC is 4.
Why is it like this in ECC 6.0?
Regards,
R.Nagarajan.

hi,
You are right in ECC 6 this will not give any error as long as you are referencing to the work area of the Select-option, but will start giving error as soon as you refer to the table using the [] command beside the select-option the it will give you a syntax error in ECC 6.0 also.
The reason might be the unicode enabling started in ECC 6.0
Hope That Helps

[PERSISTENCE CLASS] SELECT OPTION in WHERE statement

Hi Gurus,
I would like to know how could I code the WHERE statement with a SELECT OPTION, in Persistence Class ?
Currenlty, I would like to code this kind of request :
          DELETE FROM      ziTab
                         WHERE   zdate IN so_date.
Do you know, how could I code it ?
Many thx for helps.
Best regards.

Sorry Glen,
Unfortunately, I am trying to find the correct syntax to use a SELECT OPTION in a Query Request of Persistence Class:
Something like that:

Values from a Multi-Select in the where clause of a Select statement

I have a web page that solicits query parameters from the user.
The selections that the user makes will populate the WHERE clause of a Select statement.
One of the controls on the page is a multi-select control.
When this page posts, I would like to execute a Select statement wherein the selected values from this control appear in the .. Column IN ( <list here> ) portion of the WHERE clause.
This is an extremely common scenario, but I cannot seem to locate a how-to or message thread that addresses this specific case.
I have an idea that it may involve dynamic SQL or Execute Immediate, but cannot seem to pin down the answer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Issue in select query with where clause

Hi guys,
I'm facing an issue while using select query with the where clause. When I'm selecting all the data from the table it returns the correct result. But when I'm using the where clause to get the specific rows from the table it returns no rows. But the data I'm trying to fetch using the where condition exists in the table.
Here is my query which causing the issue,
select * from mytable where myfield = 'myvalue'
But if I use the following query it returns the result correctly.
select * from mytable
Also the myfield value 'myvalue' exists in the table.
I have tried by running this query in both SQL Developer and SQL Plus. I have tried this query in mssql as well. It works perfectly and returns correct result sets for both the queries I have mentioned above. I'm unable to predict the issue as I'm new to ORACLE. Please help.
Thanks,
Ram.

Hi Ram,
I experienced an issue similar to this with a varchar2 field. Some of our records had a hidden newline character at the end of them, which was making queries like the one below fail:
select * from employees
where email = '[email protected]'The best way I found to detect this was to use
select 'XX'||email||'XX' from employeesTo make sure that there were no newlines. But that is just a guess. If you could provide some example table data and the outputs of your selects, it would be helpful.

AND new.sarn = old.sarn);
cheers bjorn

The EXISTS claue just needs to be added to your original query as a predicate on the ip_survey_activity_reg_no table. somethign like:
UPDATE ip_survey_activity_reg_no old
SET (old.slpn, old.survey_date, old.sequential_ref_number,
     old.total_num_of_samples, old.total_num_of_assoc_samples,
     old.air_tests, old.remarks, old.survey_details,
     old.further_survey_details, old.general_comments) =
                     (SELECT new.slpn, new.survey_date,
                             new.sequential_ref_number,
                             new.total_num_of_samples,
                             new.total_num_of_assoc_samples, new.air_tests,
                             new.remarks, new.survey_details,
                             new.further_survey_details,new.general_comments
                      FROM ip_survey_activity_reg_no_int new
                      WHERE new.load_id = v_load_id and
                            new.status = 'CHANGED' and
                            new.sarn = old.sarn)
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM ip_survey_activity_reg_no_int new
              WHERE new.load_id = v_load_id and
                    new.status = 'CHANGED' and
                    new.sarn = old.sarn)An updateable join view is similar, except you just join the two tables. Assuming that sarn is the primary key of ip_survey_activity_reg_no_int, or is at least declared as unique in that table, then the update of the join would look something like:
UPDATE (SELECT old.slpn oslpn, old.survey_date osurvey_date,
               old.sequential_ref_number osequential_ref_number,
               old.total_num_of_samples ototal_num_of_samples,

SELECT QUERY CHECK & WHERE CLAUSE DIFFERENCE.URGENT PLEASE.

My question is ,
IF SBOOK_WA-CARRID = 'LH' CONDITION IS AGAIN PRESENT IN THE DATABASE TABLE ,,,,WILL THE CHECK CONDITION SEARCH IT AGAIN EVEN AFTER FINDING IT IN THE FIRST OF THE TABLE???OR SIMPLY TERMINATE IN THE FIRST TIME THE CONDITION SATISFIES??IF DOES TERMINATE THEN ERRONEOUS RESULT IS BOUND TO COME SINCE ONE MORE RECORS IS UNSELECTED.
SIMILARLY DOES THE WHERE CLAUSE CONTINUE SEARCHING EVEN AFTER HAVING FOUND THE CONDITION ALREADY ONCE IN THE TABLE??
PLEASE HELP ME IN THIS ASPECT.PLEASE CHECK THE TWO DIFFERENT CODES & ANSWER ACCORDINGLY..
SELECT * FROM SBOOK INTO SBOOK_WA.
CHECK: SBOOK_WA-CARRID = 'LH' AND
SBOOK_WA-CONNID = '0400'.
ENDSELECT.
SELECT * FROM SBOOK INTO SBOOK_WA
WHERE CARRID = 'LH' AND
CONNID = '0400'.
ENDSELECT.

Hi,
The Check condition will be true, so it will not going to display the records, it will fill the internal table.
In the Where condition it will fill the Internal table as well as it will display also.
Hope now your query is solved

Select sdo_nn with where-clause on large table

Hi spatial-experts,
I've following problem. I use a table with more than 2.500.000 dataset. Every dataset represents one point (SDO_GEOMETRY, SDO_POINT_TYPE) and have further (text) information. (PI (point of interest) table from TeleAtlas mn_pi)
Following Select works fine:
SELECT /*+ ORDERED NO_INDEX(pi IX_PI_FEATTYP) */
sdo_nn_distance(1) distance,
id, feattyp, arnamelc, name, stname, stnamelc, hsnum, postcode
FROM multinet.mn_pi pi
WHERE
pi.feattyp IN ( 9373,9374)
AND
SDO_NN(
pi.geom,
SDO_GEOMETRY( 2001, 8307, SDO_POINT_TYPE(613.86865234375/60, 3002.94677734375/60, NULL), NULL, NULL),
'sdo_batch_size=0', 1) = 'TRUE'
AND rownum = 1
ORDER BY distance
(P.S. IX_PI_FEATTYP is an index on column feattyp, here not used. When I'm using it the select do not work (it last very long...))
When I now modify the where clause to an pi which feat type that does not exists (no entry in table) the select lasts very long (I canceled the select after 5 minutes).
for example: pi.feattyp = 9756
Otherwise I add a further where clause like
AND arnamelc = 'ITA'
the select also works very long. The point are now in italy. refrence point is in germany and is more than 500km away.
Are there some solutions to solve this problems
(should I use for every feat type a own table)?
Why is the select so slow?
Thanks for all helpfully answers,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
When you use nearest neighbor, Oracle will use the spatial index to find the nearest neighbor that meets the query criteria. It probes into the index, calculates distances, and returns data in distance order.
Using SDO_BATCH_SIZE, it keeps going back to the database, returning more and more records in distance order until the other predicates are satisfied (in your case, pi.feattyp IN ( 9373,9374).
When you specified pi.feattyp = 9756 (which doesn't exist), you told Oracle to keep going and calculating distances for each of the more than 2.500.000 records in the the data set (you killed it after 5 minutes).
I don't know why adding: AND arnamelc = 'ITA' caused Oracle to take extra time. Sometimes I will do a: set autotrace trace exp
then compare plans for something that runs quickly vs. something that runs slowly. If you want to post the plans for the fast and slow versions it might be interesting to look at.
My guess is you may want to look at a solution that incorporates various possibilities. For instance, if there are only a few of some feattyp values, you may want to select those using the non-spatial index then use sdo_geom.sdo_distance to find the closest point rather than risk having to look through a few million values for a match.
I'm sure other people have thoughts as well...
Kind regards,
Dan

Select-Option and Dump

Hi All,
I have select-option on selection screen.
Entered 7000 values to select-option.
When executed it dumps, but small input values report is executed.
Is their any limitation for input values in select-option.
Moderator message: FAQ, please search for previous discussions of this topic.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Sep 14, 2011 3:02 PM

Hi,
problem is not with select option, it can contain milions of entries.
You are propably using select option in where condition of your select statement. You should keep limit about 1000-2000 entries, it depends on db system and memory.

Using Select option in Native SQL

Hi,
Can any one tell me, how to use select option value in native SQL.
ie.,
I want to use select option in where condition. Need to select all the records from table(non-SAP) where date in given range.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Amal

Hi
No!
U need to find a way to convert a range of select-option to a range for Native SQL, probably it should be better doesn't use a select-option for the date but two parameters: one for date from and one for date to.

Dynamis where Condition using select-options

Hi All,
I am trying to form a dynamic where clause using values entered on a selection screen. I want that if a new entry is added in the selection screen the where clause can also be modified dynamically without any change in coding. The only change required should be addition of select-option statement in the selection screen declaration.
Thanks in advance.

SELECT statement in FROM clause - syntax help

Hi,
I want to have a SELECT statement in the FROM clause. I get syntax error when doing this and since I am new to ABAP I need som help.
I want to do the following, (and if anyone has any SELECT statement from their own system which you know there is no syntax error in please post it here so I can analyze the syntax):
*I leave the INTO itab clause out, since I only want to demonstrate the functionality
I am trying to get.
SELECT tableOne~someField
FROM tab AS tableOne (SELECT someField
 FROM tab
 WHERE someFiled > 1) AS tableTwo
WHERE tableOnesomeField > tableTwosomeField
like I said, the problem is that the select statement in the parenthesis in the from clause seems to be incorrect because I get "wrong expression" when trying to compile. Is this because I cannot have a select statement in the from clause or is it because of a minor syntax error, such as I forgot a dot, or some other sign?
thanks and regards
Baran

sorry i am not enough familiar with sub queries but some error i can see which i will state here.
1> you have to use sub queries i.e. select in ( ) after where clause because here you are fulfilling a where clause by another select statement.
like this
SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT
 INTO WA
 WHERE SEATSOCC = ( SELECT MAX( SEATSOCC ) FROM SFLIGHT ).
2> you cannot specify field name without into clause either you have to use
select * or select f1 into tab-f1 like this...
but if you are using select * without into you have to define
tables : dbtab.
selec * from dbtab. like that.

Tuning Select Statement . field sequence and where clause

Hi All
Are there any general guidelines how to write select < field sequence >where clause < field sequence ? Is that shuld be in order of the field sequence in tables?
And how to use this when we have a view or a inner - join . Is that separate from normal select statement that is using FOR ALL ENTRIES.
Please let me know any general guidelines available on this,
Amol

Hello Amol,
I have another hint:
The statement FOR ALL ENTRIES will package the select statements for every five entries in the internal table. So in comparison to the following code sequence...
LOOP AT itab.
 SELECT * FROM table WHERE key = itab-key.
ENDLOOP
the number of select statements is reduced to 20% with
SELECT * FROM table INTO TABLE ...
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab
 WHERE key = itab-key
If I'm expecting a huge amount of data a go a step further and create my own packages by building a range table with around 100-500 entries and execute a select there...
LOOP AT itab.
 IF counter < 500.
 APPEND itab-key TO range-tab. " just code example
 ENDIF.
 IF count >= 500.
 SELECT * FROM table APPENDING TABLE ...
 WHERE key IN range_tab
 ENDIF.
 " adjust and calculate counter
ENDLOOP.
* Don't forget last select statement after loop
Best wishes,
Florin
