Match values of 2 columns with other rows

I want to compare the values of 2 columns with all rows in the sheet.
If there is a match I want to place a character in the next column, so I can filter on it
But I need to keep one row for each unique value. (match of 2 columns)

Can't compare a row with other rows within a table.. (many to many compare)

Hi all..
I am very new to PL/SQL..
I need to travers through a table for comparing it's rows with in the table with other rows. For this I am trying to use bellow Pl/sql.
create or replace compare()
Declare
VAR_HIT CHAR(1);
SEARCH_RECORD_DATA UDB.table1%ROWTYPE;
CANDIDATE_RECORD_DATA UDB.table1%ROWTYPE;
CURSOR SEARCH_RECORDS_CURSOR IS SELECT * FROM UDB.table1 order by registration_id;
CURSOR CANDIDATE_RECORDS_CURSOR IS SELECT * FROM UDB.table1 order by registration_id;
BEGIN
FOR SEARCH_RECORD_DATA IN SEARCH_RECORDS_CURSOR LOOP
FOR CANDIDATE_RECORD_DATA IN CANDIDATE_RECORDS_CURSOR LOOP
IF (CANDIDATE_RECORD_DATA.DECISION='P') THEN
VAR_HIT:='y';
IF(CANDIDATE_RECORD_DATA.FIRST_NAME!='unknown') AND (CANDIDATE_RECORD_DATA.FIRST_NAME!=SEARCH_RECORD_DATA.FIRST_NAME) THEN
VAR_HIT:='n';
ELSIF(CANDIDATE_RECORD_DATA.LAST_NAME!='unknown') AND (CANDIDATE_RECORD_DATA.LAST_NAME!=SEARCH_RECORD_DATA.LAST_NAME) THEN
VAR_HIT:='n';
ELSIF(CANDIDATE_RECORD_DATA.BIRTH_DATE!='unknown') AND (CANDIDATE_RECORD_DATA.BIRTH_DATE!=SEARCH_RECORD_DATA.BIRTH_DATE) THEN
VAR_HIT:='n';
ELSIF(CANDIDATE_RECORD_DATA.GENDER!='U') AND (CANDIDATE_RECORD_DATA.GENDER!=SEARCH_RECORD_DATA.GENDER) THEN
VAR_HIT:='n';
ELSIF(CANDIDATE_RECORD_DATA.FATHER_NAME!='unknown') AND (CANDIDATE_RECORD_DATA.FATHER_NAME!=SEARCH_RECORD_DATA.FATHER_NAME) THEN
VAR_HIT:='n';
ELSIF (CANDIDATE_RECORD_DATA.MOTHER_NAME!='unknown') AND (CANDIDATE_RECORD_DATA.MOTHER_NAME!=SEARCH_RECORD_DATA.MOTHER_NAME) THEN
VAR_HIT:='n';
END IF;
IF(VAR_HIT='y') THEN
INSERT INTO UDB.BIO_DI_HIT_RESULT(REGISTRATION_ID,SEARCH_ID,HIT_CANDIDATE_ID,SEARCH_DETAILS,CANDIDATE_DETAILS) VALUES (SEARCH_RECORD_DATA.REGISTRATION_ID,SEARCH_RECORD_DATA.EGM_NO,CANDIDATE_RECORD_DATA.EGM_NO,VAR_SEARCH_DETAILS,VAR_CANDIDATE_DETAILS);
UPDATE UDB.BIO_RECORDS_DEMOGRAPHICS SET DECISION='D';
END IF;
END IF;
END LOOP;
commit;
END LOOP;
END;
Outer loop is working fine (it is raversing throughout the table) (say for 8000 records 8000 times)
But Enner loop is not working fine e.i. it's running just for 8000 times for 8000 records. while it should run more then 8000 time..
Can any one help me..
Is the way of using two cursor on one table for comparing each row of record is correct????????? :(

Finally I come up with this:
INSERT INTO UDB.BIO_DI_HIT_RESULT(REGISTRATION_ID,SEARCH_ID,HIT_CANDIDATE_ID,SEARCH_DETAILS,CANDIDATE_DETAILS)
SELECT SEARCH.REGISTRATION_ID, SEARCH.Key_NO,CANDIDATE.Key_NO,
'First name='||SEARCH.FIRST_NAME||',Last name='||SEARCH.LAST_NAME||',Birth date='||SEARCH.BIRTH_DATE||',Gender='||SEARCH.GENDER||',Fathers name='||SEARCH.FATHER_NAME||',Mother name='||SEARCH.MOTHER_NAME,
'First name='||CANDIDATE.FIRST_NAME||',Last name='||CANDIDATE.LAST_NAME||',Birth date='||CANDIDATE.BIRTH_DATE||',Gender='||CANDIDATE.GENDER||',Fathers name='||CANDIDATE.FATHER_NAME||',Mother name='||CANDIDATE.MOTHER_NAME
FROM UDB.BIO_RECORDS_DEMOGRAPHICS SEARCH,UDB.BIO_RECORDS_DEMOGRAPHICS CANDIDATE
WHERE (SEARCH.FIRST_NAME!='unknown' OR SEARCH.LAST_NAME!='unknown' OR SEARCH.BIRTH_DATE!='unknown' OR SEARCH.GENDER!='unknown' OR SEARCH.FATHER_NAME!='unknown' OR SEARCH.MOTHER_NAME!='unknown')
AND SEARCH.REGISTRATION_ID != CANDIDATE.REGISTRATION_ID
AND SEARCH.REGISTRATION_ID < CANDIDATE.REGISTRATION_ID
AND (SEARCH.FIRST_NAME='unknown' OR CANDIDATE.FIRST_NAME IN (SEARCH.FIRST_NAME,'unknown'))
AND (SEARCH.LAST_NAME='unknown' OR CANDIDATE.LAST_NAME IN (SEARCH.LAST_NAME,'unknown'))
AND (SEARCH.BIRTH_DATE='unknown' OR CANDIDATE.BIRTH_DATE IN (SEARCH.BIRTH_DATE,'unknown'))
AND (SEARCH.GENDER='U' OR CANDIDATE.GENDER IN (SEARCH.GENDER,'U'))
AND (SEARCH.BIRTH_DATE='unknown' OR CANDIDATE.BIRTH_DATE IN (SEARCH.BIRTH_DATE,'unknown'))
AND (SEARCH.FATHER_NAME='unknown'OR CANDIDATE.FATHER_NAME IN (SEARCH.FATHER_NAME,'unknown'))
AND (SEARCH.MOTHER_NAME='unknown' OR CANDIDATE.MOTHER_NAME IN (CANDIDATE.MOTHER_NAME,'unknown'))
ORDER BY SEARCH.REGISTRATION_ID;
Now it realy meet all my final table requirement.. I am happy.. :)
But again last requirement is like..
In the final BIO_DI_HIT_RESULT table I need to add one more column named as match_count
This column will have values of total no. of exact match field (not unknown) for each records in the BIO_DI_HIT_RESULT.....
One way of duing this is--
Step1: I will use a cursor for traversing through each of the rows in BIO_DI_HIT_RESULT.
Step 2: And based on count of matches in search_details(substring) and candiate_details(substring) I update each and every rows of the table.
It will be very slow.. And for records like 2 million records.. I can't think of this idea. :(
Sooooo,, Is there ANY BETTER WAY OF DOING THIS AS WELL.. BETTER MEANS FAST WAY.. :(
Thanks in advance....

I need to create a view with a column (say 'Comp' below) that compares the value of each row in Price2 with the previous Price2 row, and it is greater then +1, the

How can I structure the statement to get (the most recent - order by date ) result for Comp?

Satheesh Variath, I just had to make some corrections from your script to get the correct answer:
CREATE
VIEW vw_Comp
AS
SELECT
TOP 1 t.IDNO,t.name,t.[Date],t.Price1,t.Price2,
CASE
WHEN t.Price2
> LAG(Price2,1)
OVER (PARTITION
BY name
ORDER BY IDNO)
THEN 1
WHEN t.Price2
< LAG(Price2,1)
OVER (PARTITION
BY name
ORDER BY IDNo)
THEN -1
ELSE 0
END
AS Comp
FROM
@T t
ORDER
BY DATE
DESC
The adjustments: the selection of the most recent comparison (Top 1) and the use of the function LAG (instead of LEAD) to get the previous value of the column.

How can can i subtract the value of the column in each row ?

I want to subtract the value of the column in each row if the row is not enough then continue to next row.
For example
ID QTY
A 20
B 40
C 60
I want to update this table by subtract the value of the column (QTY) out 70 so the result i want will be
ID QTY
A 20 - 70 = -50 --> 0 this row will be updated to 0 and 50 will continue to next row
B 40 - 50 = -10 --> 0   this row will be updated to 0 and 10 will continue to next row
C 60 - 10 = 50 --> Stop loop
How can i write the sql query for this operation , Thanks

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules. You have no idea,
do you? Temporal data should use ISO-8601 formats. Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect.
This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums. What did you try on your own before posting? I will bet that you did nothing! You expect other people to do your job or homework for you.
>> I want to subtract the value of the column in each row if the row is not enough then continue to next row. <<
This makes no sense. Rows have no ordering; that is a spreadsheet. There is no such thing as a generic “id” in RDBMS. And an identifier is not a sequence which would have an ordering.
CREATE TABLE Foobar
(something_seq INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
onhand_qty INTEGER NOT NULL);
Learn how to use the SUM()OVER() and LAG() aggregate functions, post what you tried for yourself and then we will help you.

Merging two columns with muliple rows in Numbers '09

I am trying to merge two columns each with 100 rows and related data. Column one is the street address and column two have office numbers. The final result would be one column with 100 rows with address and office numbers.

Ed Carreon
Hi Ed,
Use the CONCATENATE() function.
Street address in column D, Office number in Column E
100 Smith ST 212
Formula: =CONCATENATE(E," ",D)
Result:
212 100 Smith ST
Note the formula has three arguments, the reference to column E, a text literal (" ") containing a single space, and a reference to column D.

Best way to give a default value to a New Column with existing rows

Adding some columns to SQL tables with existing data rows. There are also views created from these tables. The views are used in some report/query software so NULL values are not good. Interested in learning about the best way to set a default value.
These are the ways that I can think of
1) ALTER TABLE using the DEFAULT to add the column and set the default value
++ Adds a constraint which is not terrible. Constraints are just not used much in this shop.
2) ALTER TABLE to add the column then do an UPDATE statement to update the values
++ might be an issue for tables with millions of rows
3) ALTER TABLE to add the column then use ISNULL in the CREATE VIEW

It is a large table with 444 columns and max row size of 2268. 907k records took 1 minute 38 seconds to UPDATE the column. I have about 12 fields to add to this table and about 44 tables (not all this large of course) so it will take some time to
UPDATE. Although ... i just tried updating 3 columns in a single UPDATE and it took 1 minute 36 seconds. So If I did all 12 fields in a single UPDATE it would be about the same time as a single Field. I will think about it.

Multiple columns with uneven rows

Good Evening Everybody
Could somebody advise me on the best solution to do the following.
I have a csv file. The csv file is being read using "read from spreadsheet file" vi.
The file contains multiple columns. The columns all have a different last row address. By this I mean that...say...the last row of column 1 is 5. Column 2 last row is 23, Column 3 last row is 12. etc. The file might look like the following...note...this is an example of a file only, and any implications can't be construed.
            Column1    Column2    Column3    Column4     Column5
Row1        0               1                 2             3                 4
Row2       12             23              13            34               0
Row3       11             44              23                             11
Row4       34             55
Row5       21
Lets assume that the value(s) of interest are contained in columns 2,4 and 5. Therefore the values I want to extract would be 55, 34 and 11
I can select the columns of interest fine, but am having difficulty working out how to find the last row for these columns
Caveats:
1. The number of columns changes
2. Position of column in file changes address...never found in same address
Does anybody know how I might be able to locate the last row in the column of my choosing.
Thanks for any assistance.
best regards
Ray

Hi Ray,
load the csv as an array of strings. Empty cells will result in empty strings. So you can easily test each column for an empty item, which will mark the "End of Data"...

New Column Still Defaulting To Value From Deleted Column With Same Name

This is strange. I had a managed metadata column called "Document Category" attached to multiple content types and set to a default value (different in each library). Then I deleted the column (all instances from libraries and references from
content types as well), and created a new site column with the same name, but a Choice field instead. The libraries that had a default value for the original column, are still populating new documents using the original default value, and it's showing up as
something like 88;#Hospital Correspondence|4b1e8da6-8653-492a-3e45e6c56c38 . The column is still a choice field, so I don't even know why it allows this value. Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it?

Hi Vince,
Thank you very much for sharing your solution here. It would be helpful for others who encounter similar issue.

Dragging one cell value(copy) across columns or across rows in ALV layout

Hi friends,
In bps layouts, data is displayed in ALV grid as interface. At plng folder level, can i incorporate excel feature like dragging one cell value across columns or across rows? Simply if user enter one value in cell of ALV grid, that should be copied automatically across rows/columns while dragging?
Second question, even i chose in layout builder excel as interface, that layout showed in plng folder as ALV grid layout. Why it happens so. I read documentation in UPSPM of that particular plng folder, it tells same thing(even if u choose excel, it will show in ALV only). So how can i get excel interface in plng folder?
Regards,
Kumar

requested property is not possible at ALV layout level. Provided text document load facility to user. So user can directly load excel to plng folder.
Issue resolved.

Finding duplicate values in a column with different values in a different c

I'm finding duplicate values in a column of my table:
select ba.CLAIM_NUMBER from bsi_auto_vw ba
group by ba.CLAIM_NUMBER
having count(*) > 1;
How can I modify this query to find duplicate values in that column where I DON'T have duplicate values in a different specific column in that table (the column CLMT_NO in my case can't have duplicates.)?

Well, you can use analytics assuming you don't mind full scanning the table.....
select
count(owner) over (partition by object_type),
count(object_type) over (partition by owner)
from all_objects;You just need to intelligently (i didn't here) find your "window" (partition clause) to sort the data over, then make use of that (the analytics would be in a nested SQL and you'd then evaluate it in outside).
Should be applicable if i understand what you're after.
If you post some sample data we can mock up a SQL statement for you (if what i tried to convey wasn't understandable).

How to get value in previous column and another row from Matrix with Custom Code?

I want to calculate the value of tb_Open and tb_Close. I try to use custom code for calculate them. tb_close is correct but tb_Open is not correct that show value = 0 .
This is example report:
* I have 2 Dataset , Dataset1 is all data for show in my report. Dataset2 is only first Open for first month
* First value of Open is item field in Dataset2 and this value only for first month (january). But for other month Open value get from Close in previous month.
Detail for Red number:
1. tb_Open -> tb_Close in previous month but first month from item field in Dataset2
expression =FormatNumber(Code.GetOpening(Fields!month.Value,First(Fields!open.Value, "Dataset2")))
2. tb_TOTAL1 group on item_part = 1
expression =FormatNumber(Sum(CDbl(Fields!budget.Value)))
3. tb_TOTAL2 group on item_part = 3 or item_part = 4
expression =FormatNumber(Sum(CDbl(Fields!budget.Value)) + ReportItems!tb_TOTAL1.Value )
4. tb_TOTAL3 group on item_part = 2
expression =FormatNumber(Sum(CDbl(Fields!budget.Value)) - ReportItems!tb_TOTAL2 .Value)
5. tb_Close -> calculate from tb_TOTAL3 - tb_Open
expression =FormatNumber(Code.GetClosing(ReportItems!tb_TOTAL3.Value,ReportItems!tb_Open.Value))
My custom code:
Dim Shared prev_close As Double
Dim Shared now_close As Double
Dim Shared now_open As Double
Public Function GetClosing(TOTAL3 as Double,NowOpening as Double)
    now_close = TOTAL3 + NowOpening
    prev_close = now_close
    Return now_close
End Function
Public Function GetOpening(Month as String,NowOpen as Double)
    If Month = "1" Then
        now_open = NowOpen
    Else
        now_open = prev_close
    End If
    Return now_open
End Function
Thanks alot for your help!

Looks okay to me.
Perhaps the variables should be declared as public (?)

I have read 118 files (from a directory) each with 2088 data and put them into a 2 D array with 2cols and 246384row, I want to have aeach file on a separate columns with 2088 rows

I have read 118 files from a directory using the list.vi. Each file has 2 cols with 2088rows. Now I have the data in a 2 D array with 2cols and 246384rows (118files * 2088rows). However I want to put each file in the same array but each file in separate columns. then I would have 236 columns (2cols for each of the 118 files) by 2088 rows. thank you very much in advance.

Hiya,
here's a couple of .vi's that might help out. I've taken a minimum manipulation approach by using replace array subset, and I'm not bothering to strip out the 1D array before inserting it. Instead I flip the array of filenames, and from this fill in the end 2-D array from the right, overwriting the column that will eventually become the "X" data values (same for each file) and appear on the right.
The second .vi is a sub.vi I posted elsewhere on the discussion group to get the number of lines in a file. If you're sure that you know the number of data points is always going to be 2088, then replace this sub vi with a constant to speed up the program. (by about 2 seconds!)
I've also updated the .vi to work as a sub.vi if you wa
nt it to, complete with error handling.
Hope this helps.

How to update the value of a column when a row is deleted

Hi,
My requirement is basically i have a table .Below is a sample data along with sample data
Column A Column B ColumnC
1 SAM 0
2 RAM 0
Now if i run a delete statement saying
delete from Table where ColumnA =1 then i want to see the value of ColumnC to be updated as 1.The row shouldnt be deleted however the value of ColumnC should be changed to 1.
Can someone please help me with any suggestions? I can create a trigger but i havent worked with triggers so not sure on how to use it.
Please let me know if i am unclear or if you need any details.
Thanks

As I understand what you need is an INSTEAD OF DELETE trigger like below
CREATE TRIGGER Trg_TableName
ON TableName
INSTEAD OF DELETE
AS
BEGIN
UPDATE t
SET ColumnC = 1
FROM TableName t
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM DELETED
WHERE ColumnA = t.ColumnA
END
this will set ColumnC to 1 and will not do an actual delete of the row.
