Make this query into for all entries

Hello Experts,
please change this query into for all entries to increase performance
loop at itab1.
    SELECT  single b~vtext INTO itab2
     FROM vbkd AS a
        INNER JOIN tvkggt AS b
        ON akdkg1 = bkdkgr
     WHERE a~vbeln EQ itab1-vbeln_vauf
     AND a~posnr EQ itab1-posnr_vauf.
endloop.
Thank you so much for all the replies.

as I write again and again, then performance is mainly increased but correct index usage
SELECT single b~vtext
INTO itab2
FROM vbkd AS a
INNER JOIN tvkggt AS b
ON   ..... spras ???
       bkdkgr  = akdkg1 
WHERE a~vbeln EQ itab1-vbeln_vauf
AND      a~posnr EQ itab1-posnr_vauf.
You access vbkd with the primary key vbeln and posnr
and then you switch to tvkggt where you need spras and kdgr for the primary key
With spras you statement is incorrect you get one text it is unclear in which language,
it might be that there is onyl one, but still you *** it to the statement to use the index.
spras = sy-langu might be o.k.
I.e.
IF NOT ( itab1 is initial ).
   SELECT single b~vtext
       INTO itab2 
       FROM vbkd AS a
       INNER JOIN tvkggt AS b
       ON   b~spras = sy_langu
              b~kdkgr  = a~kdkg1
       FOR ALL ENTRIES in itab1  
       WHERE a~vbeln EQ itab1-vbeln_vauf
       AND      a~posnr EQ itab1-posnr_vauf.
ENDIF.

  • Select inside loop into for all entries or joins

    Experts please help in making it into for all entries or joins.
    suppose assume this
    zuser table has 2 fields usage and kunnr.
    in i_table i always have 2 fields.
    type
    number
    type will store user or nonuser
    and number can store customer number or sales order number.
    if the type is user then the numer will be customer number and
    if the type is nonuser then the number will be sales order number.
    and values in this table is like this
    type number
    user 100001210
    nonuser 123200000
    user 124573930
    user 294839039
    user 138393903
    nonuser 382749239
    type always have user or nonuser and corresponding to them we have customer numbers.
    and now based on this we need to fine tune this code.
    parameters :p_usage(20) type char
    LOOP AT i_table.
    IF i_table-type = 'NONUSER'.
    SELECT single kunnr INTO skunnr FROM vbak WHERE
    vbeln = i_table-value.
    ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
    IF i_table-type = 'USER'.
    skunnr = i_table-value.
    ENDIF.
    IF skunnr is not initial.
    SELECT single usage FROM zuser
    INTO v_usage
    WHERE usage = p_usage
    AND kunnr = skunnr.
    IF v_usage IS NOT INITIAL.
    i_export-kunnr = i_table-type.
    i_export-auart = i_table-name.
    i_export-flag = 'X'.

    U can have this as a solution to avoid ur loop.
    declare to itabs as below:
    data: i_table_user type standard table of i_table,
            i_table_nonuser type standard table of i_table.
    i_table_user[] = i_table[].
    i_table_nonuser[] = i_table[].
    delete i_table_user where user eq 'NONUSER' .   (BY THIS YOU WILL HAVE ONLY USERS IN THIS ITAB)
    delete i_table_NONuser where user eq 'USER' . (BY THIS YOU WILL HAVE ONLY NONUSERS IN THIS ITAB)
    NOW AVOID LOOP AT ITAB AND WRITE YOUR 2 SELECT STATEMENT BY USING FOR ALL ENTRIES OF
    IF YOU DONT NEED any of THESE ITABS FURTHER , refresh them to improve ur memory and performance.
    HOPE THIS HELPS.
    THANKS

  • Performance issue with select query and for all entries.

    hi,
    i have a report to be performance tuned.
    the database table has around 20 million entries and 25 fields.
    so, the report fetches the distinct values of two fields using one select query.
    so, the first select query fetches around 150 entries from the table for 2 fields.
    then it applies some logic and eliminates some entries and makes entries around 80-90...
    and then it again applies the select query on the same table using for all entries applied on the internal table with 80-90 entries...
    in short,
    it accesses the same database table twice.
    so, i tried to get the database table in internal table and apply the logic on internal table and delete the unwanted entries.. but it gave me memory dump, and it wont take that huge amount of data into abap memory...
    is around 80-90 entries too much for using "for all entries"?
    the logic that is applied to eliminate the entries from internal table is too long, and hence cannot be converted into where clause to convert it into single select..
    i really cant find the way out...
    please help.

    Even though you tried to ask the question with detailed explanation, unfortunately it is still not clear.
    It is perfectly fine to access the same database twice. If that is working for you, I don't think there is any need to change the logic. As Rob mentioned, 80 or 8000 records is not a problem in "for all entries" clause.

    It is not clear what you tried to do here. Did you try to bring all 20 million records into an internal table? That will certainly cause the program to short dump with memory shortage.
    > the logic that is applied to eliminate the entries from internal table is too long, and hence cannot be converted into where clause to convert it into single select..

    That is fine. Actually, it is better (performance wise) to do much of the work in ABAP than writing a complex WHERE clause that might bog down the database.

  • Select query like For all Entries

    Hi,
    I have a requirement like:
    I need to extract data (BKTXT) from table BKPF based on some criteria, into one internal table and I need to query on REGUP table for the above data, the selection criteria on REGUP as follows:
    BKTXT(Document Header Text with 25 Char) is a combination of DATE and character string.
    Ex: bkpf-bktxt = 20060710-PL02 (YYYYMMDD)
    it is like LAUFD + LAUFI (of table REGUP)
    i.e: LAUFD (REGUP) = 07/10/2006 (MM/DD/YYYY) and LAUFI(REGUP) = PL02
    here I am thinking to use a select query on REGUP using FOR ALL ENTRIES of table i_bkpf..
    How can I change the date format YYYYMMDD to MM/DD/YYYY for my requirement?
    ((    Run-on Date (REGUP-LAUFD) = the first 8 characters in the Document Header Text (BKPF- BKTXT) in MM/DD/YYYY date format (e.g. 07/10/2006)
       Run ID (REGUP-LAUFI) = the 10th character through the 15th character in the Document Header Text (BKPF- BKTXT)

    It is not possible to do in the way you are thinking of doing. "For all entries" requires you to have the itab table field and the database table field to have the same type and length. So something like below <u>will not work</u>.
    TABLES: regup.
    DATA: BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
            text LIKE bkpf-bktxt.
    DATA: END OF itab.
    DATA: BEGIN OF itab_regup OCCURS 0.
            INCLUDE STRUCTURE regup.
    DATA: END OF itab_regup.
    SELECT * INTO TABLE itab_regup
             FROM regup FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab
            WHERE laufd = itab-text+0(8).
    If you run this code, you will get an error as follows:
    <i>"When using the addition "FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab", the fields "LAUFD" and "ITAB-TEXT+0(8)" must have the same type and length."</i>

  • How can i make this query run for a form

    This query works fine for a sql report
    SELECT *
    FROM STUDENTS
    WHERE given_name||' '||family_name = :P101_USERNAME
    AND password = :P101_PASSWORD;
    But i want it to do the same thing for a form but i dont have the option like i do for the report where i can just apply the condition to the process.
    Anyone any ideas how i could do this so that when i go to the form this information is already there based on the username and password from the previous page?

    Assuming that page 101 is your login form, just lookup the primary key of the student based on the values presented in the login page fields, then set and pass this value to the form page.
    So you would create a process that runs near the very end of the the login processes on page 101, something like this:
    declare
    l_student_id students.student_id%TYPE;
    begin
    select student_id into l_student_id from students where  given_name||' '||family_name = :P101_USERNAME and password = :P101_PASSWORD;
    -- then set the value of your form page primary key field
    :P1_STUDENT_ID := l_student_id;
    end;I've done something similar and it works fine for me, although I haven't looked at it recently.

  • Usage of FOR ALL ENTRIES in SELECT query

    Hi All,
    While writing SELECT query using FOR ALL ENTRIES, in the WHERE condition can we use IN operator on a range table?
    Will this work out.

    HI,
    Yes you can use the in operator.

  • Use HR_READ_INFOTYPE or select (for all entries)

    Hi
    As I have understood the difference between FM HR_READ_INFOTYPE and a select directly from PA0001 (as example) is that the FM take the authorization into account. (please correct me if I am wrong).
    My problem is that I need to select from the infotype for a lot of pernr, so I would use this statement:
        SELECT * FROM pa0001 INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE wt_pa0001
          FOR ALL ENTRIES IN wt_pernr
             WHERE pernr = wt_pernr-pernr
              AND begda LE pn-endda
              AND endda GE pn-begda.
    but then I don't get the authorization check.
    For the FM HR_READ_INFOTYPE I can't use the "FOR ALL ENTRIES".
    Can I do it in an easy way, or do need to do the select, and then use an authority check after the select from each infotype?

    Calling HR_READ_INFOTYPE or selecting directly from the tables may depend on how much data you are processing.  If you only need to retrieve a few records, you could process the PERNR records you need in a loop and call HR_READ_INFOTYPE for each.  If you're processing a larger number of records, check the authorization for the each table first and then do a SELECT for all entries.  Before you read, make sure that your "FOR ALL ENTRIES" table is not empty.  In order to make your code more generic, you may want to use function module HR_CHECK_AUTHORITY_INFTY to check the authorization for each infotype.  This is the FM that the HR_READ_INFOTYPE function module uses.

    Hi
    one thing you can try like this define one variable in other itab of same type
    then loop at the first table and assign it to new field and modify the itab
    then use this field with for all entries

  • Allowing duplicate in FOR ALL ENTRIES statement

    Hi folks,
            I am using a select query using FOR ALL ENTRIES statement. I could observe one entry is missing from the table data.When i checked that in the data base table, there are two duplicate records among which one entry is missed in the output data from the query.Is duplicates are restricted if we use FOR ALL ENTRIES statement ? Is there any key word like 'ALLOWING DUPLICATES' for this ? if not what is the solution for this.Could any body help me regarding this.
    Thanks,
    Shyam.
    Edited by: Matt on Jul 9, 2009 1:27 PM

    Hi Shyam,
    In For all entries you should give unique records only.
    sort your base table with key which you are passing in for all entries clause.
    delete all duplicate entries.
    Hope this will help .

    What is the prerequisites for using 'for all entries'.
    Please advice me on this.
    Regards
    Ashish.

    Hi
    In this case all the records available in employee table are extracted into internal table itab_emp.
    It is safe to check whether itab_dept is initial or not.
    If it is initial then stop the select query.
    Check the following program u will get an idea.
    Also try this program by removing comment to 'REFRESH IT_LFA1'.
    REPORT  ZBM_PG                                  .

  • Want to Avoid Loop for all entries with select query !!

    I want
    New code should be...using all entries no loop required.
      *select * from zss_comments into table lt_comments
                where objkey like lv_objkey
                 AND guid_cuhd = ls_cuhd-guid_cuhd
                  AND event_id <> ''.*

    why dont you add the object key also to  lt_cuhd and once you fetch the data to lt_cuhd loop it and add the '%'
    when looping use field symbols so that you dont have to use  modify.
    then use for all entries using lt_cuhd
    i don't you can find a better way to add the % mark apart from looping but by this way only one select query will be done for
    zss_comments

    Hi,
    During testing i notice that splitting into multiple selects does improve performance. But the best performance I achieved using DB Hints instead of splitting the select statements.
    Generally performance of joins together with for all entries is bad.
    However if you will look into SAP note 1662726 you will notice that this issue (bad performance in using join and for all entries together) has been addressed.
    Even though the note is for HANA DB, FM RSDU_CREATE_HINT_FAE can be used independent of DB.
    On HANA DB performance improvement is huge (i achieved 62 seconds using DB Hints compared to 1656 seconds using for all entries). On Oracle DB the same code initially run in 99 seconds with for all entries and with DB Hints in 82 seconds for ~ 1.000.000 records and ~660 seconds compared to 1349 seconds for ~8.000.000 records..
    Sample code from SAP Note below:
    Original statement:
    SELECT COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4 COL5
      FROM TAB1
      INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE LT_RESULT
      FOR ALL ENTRIES IN LT_SOURCE_TMP
      WHERE COL3 = LT_SOURCE_TMP-COL3
      AND   COL4 = LT_SOURCE_TMP-COL4
      AND   COL5 = LT_SOURCE_TMP-COL5
    Revision:

  • Inner Joins vs For All Entries - performance query

    Hi All,
    I'm a bit confused here...  I see lots and lots (and lots...) of postings from people asking how to get data from multiple tables.
    To me the immediate answer is to use joins in my select statement to reduce the database load but more and more I see people suggesting FOR ALL ENTRIES is better from a performance perspective.
    Now, simple question time, which is more efficient in the real world when doing something like the following:- (this is a basic example but I'm sure you know what I mean.)
    Select  *
      into  table lt_sales_data
      from  vbap as vbap
    inner  join vbak as vbak
         on vbak~vbeln eq vbap~vbeln
      where  vbak~vbeln in so_vbeln.
    or

    Basically I want to know whether joins or for all entries is better from a database performance perspective.
    I want to know why as well so please don't just post links, random cut and paste answers or one liners.  I'm convinced for all entries is slower but am willing to be persuaded otherwise if someone can show me proof.
    Thanks,
    Gareth.

    Thanks to all the opinions so far...  You've backed up what I suspected although I maybe wasn't clear enough with my question and desired result.  I was hoping someone could produce some hard and fast guidelines from SAP themselves dictating which is the better method.  I know 10 years ago I was taught to use joins and to keep my database access to minimal levels, using keyed reads where applicable and using internal tables to filter data where I couldn't use key fields.
    Gautham, I am aware of SM30 but that doesn't answer the general question I was asking.  I've obviously used SM30 to run some comparisons but I was really hoping someone could give me a definitive answer based on hard facts or from attending some training at SAP recently.  And no points for asking for them
    Tamás, I agree with what you are saying about runing many comparisons - it appears to be dependant on any number of criteria which means each case may require different code.  I've not managed to find a consistent comparison of the two methods that would lead me to use one method or the other...
    Karan, thanks for your feelings but it doesn't really help me!  Why/how does it retrieve the data faster than a join?  Have you got testing/proof to back this up?
    Raam, thanks for those links - they are interesting reads and seem to go through the same arguments I'm currently considering.  Although I still don't have a definitie answer!
    Amit, I understand exactly what yuo are saying about myths and urban legends   That was my motivation for this post.  To bo honest, it seems to me that a lot of the "newer" ABAP coders always go for FOR ALL ENTRIES but I wanted to know - is there a reason or do they all just cut and paste off SDN?!  Are they all just scared of complex inner joins?!  What would you all make of this Select statement for example? -

    Twinkal, I've always thought less DB hits is a better performing program too - the above example compares 2 db hits to 1...  I don't have issues with complex joins because I've used them so long so can discount that problem but do agree that less DB hits is the ultimate goal.  Providing of course the Selects you write are actually efficient in themselves.
    Murthy, if you build your select statement correctly duplicate records can be avoided in most cases.  How can you say a join statement will hit the database more when in my example there is 1 DB hit compared to 2 for a for all entries?  And I'd love to know the reasoning behind never using a join on more than 2 tables?!  Is that just an urban myth?!
    Thomas, I've just been looking at some of Siegfried's posts and like what I am reading.  As you say, using full keys via joins is essential.
