Max select statement size

Hey,
Is there a limit on the number of characters in a select statement? I have a select statement that's nearly 2500 characters. I wonder if it is going to run.
TIA

Yes.

Max in select statement

Hi,
I need to get the maximum number for a fiekld from a table...
like
I have a table as ZType

How to create MIN/MAX limitations in SELECT statement ??

Hey,
I have a table which rank90 (city population ranked from 1>*) and state_abrv which has the corresponding state for each city rank.
Is there a way to select only the maximum AND minimum ranks for each state ??
I realise there is a max and min function, but i need to do it for EACH state_abrv.
An example say Los Angeles is ranked 2, San Diego is ranked 6, and San Fransico is ranked 14 (All of these citys are in california (CA)). How do i display a table which lists only Los Angeles (Highest rank) and San Fransico (lowest rank) but DOESNT list San diego ??
Thanks, you guys are helping me heaps and im starting to learn a lot more :P

Increase performance of the following SELECT statement.

Hi All,
I have the following select statement which I would want to fine tune.
CHECK NOT LT_MARC IS INITIAL.
SELECT RSNUM
 RSPOS
 RSART
 MATNR
 WERKS
 BDTER
 BDMNG FROM RESB
 INTO TABLE GT_RESB
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN LT_MARC
 WHERE XLOEK EQ ' '
 AND MATNR EQ LT_MARC-MATNR
 AND WERKS EQ P_WERKS
 AND BDTER IN S_PERIOD.
The following query is being run for a period of 1 year where the number of records returned will be approx 3 million. When the program is run in background the execution time is around 76 hours. When I run the same program dividing the selection period into smaller parts I am able to execute the same in about an hour.
After a previous posting I had changed the select statement to
CHECK NOT LT_MARC IS INITIAL.
SELECT RSNUM
 RSPOS
 RSART
 MATNR
 WERKS
 BDTER
 BDMNG FROM RESB
 APPENDING TABLE GT_RESB PACKAGE SIZE LV_SIZE
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN LT_MARC
 WHERE XLOEK EQ ' '
 AND MATNR EQ LT_MARC-MATNR
 AND WERKS EQ P_WERKS
 AND BDTER IN S_PERIOD.
ENDSELECT.
But the performance improvement is very negligible.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Karthik

Hi Karthik,
Do not use the appending statement
Also you said if you reduce period then you get it quickly.
Why not try dividing your internal table LT_MARC into small internal tables having max 1000 entries.
You can read from index 1 - 1000 for first table. Use that in the select query and append the results
Then you can refresh that table and read table LT_MARC from 1001-2000 into the same table and then again execute the same query.
I know this sounds strange but you can bargain for better performance by increasing data base hits in this case.
Try this and let me know.

Hi Karthik,

Joins And For all Enteries in Select Statement

Could you please tell me when there is a high amount of data which is being handled in the table, does the use of INNER JOINS and FOR ALL ENTERIES in SELECT Statement decreases the system performance? ?
Can you also let me know where can i get some tips regarding do's and dont's for ABAP Programming, I want to increase my system performance.
Currently the programs which are being used are taking a lot of time for execution...
Its very URGENT!

Hai Jyotsna
Go through the following Tips for improving Performence
For all entries
The for all entries creates a where clause, where all the entries in the driver table are combined with OR. If the number of entries in the driver table is larger than rsdb/max_blocking_factor, several similar SQL statements are executed to limit the length of the WHERE clause.
The plus
Large amount of data
Mixing processing and reading of data
Fast internal reprocessing of data
Fast
The Minus
Difficult to program/understand
Memory could be critical (use FREE or PACKAGE size)
Some steps that might make FOR ALL ENTRIES more efficient:
Removing duplicates from the driver table
Sorting the driver table
If possible, convert the data in the driver table to ranges so a BETWEEN statement is used instead of and OR statement:
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_tab
 WHERE mykey >= i_tab-low and
 mykey <= i_tab-high.
Nested selects
The plus:
Small amount of data
Mixing processing and reading of data
Easy to code - and understand
The minus:
Large amount of data
when mixed processing isnt needed
Performance killer no. 1
Select using JOINS
The plus
Very large amount of data
Similar to Nested selects - when the accesses are planned by the programmer
In some cases the fastest
Not so memory critical
The minus
Very difficult to program/understand
Mixing processing and reading of data not possible

Optimizing the load of the database
Using table buffering
Using buffered tables improves the performance considerably. Note that in some cases a statement can not be used with a buffered table, so when using these statements the buffer will be bypassed. These statements are:
Select DISTINCT
ORDER BY / GROUP BY / HAVING clause
Any WHERE clause that contains a sub query or IS NULL expression
JOIN s
A SELECT... FOR UPDATE
If you wan t to explicitly bypass the buffer, use the BYPASS BUFFER addition to the SELECT clause.
Use the ABAP SORT Clause Instead of ORDER BY
The ORDER BY clause is executed on the database server while the ABAP SORT statement is executed on the application server. The database server will usually be the bottleneck, so sometimes it is better to move the sort from the database server to the application server.
If you are not sorting by the primary key ( E.g. using the ORDER BY PRIMARY key statement) but are sorting by another key, it could be better to use the ABAP SORT statement to sort the data in an internal table. Note however that for very large result sets it might not be a feasible solution and you would want to let the database server sort it.
Avoid the SELECT DISTINCT Statement
As with the ORDER BY clause it could be better to avoid using SELECT DISTINCT, if some of the fields are not part of an index. Instead use ABAP SORT + DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES on an internal table, to delete duplicate rows.

If I want to order by dateAdded to I have to include it in the select statement like

If I do this:
<cfquery name="chart" datasource="#datasource#">
select behaviourID,score, dateAdded2 = convert(varchar,
dateAdded , 101)
from staff_charts_data
where userID =
<cfqueryparam value="#arguments.userID#"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer"> AND
NOT score = 5
</cfquery>
If I want to order by dateAdded to I have to include it in
the select statement like so:
<cfquery name="chart" datasource="#datasource#">
select behaviourID,score, dateAdded2 = convert(varchar,
dateAdded , 101),dateAdded
from staff_charts_data
where userID =
<cfqueryparam value="#arguments.userID#"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer"> AND
NOT score = 5
</cfquery>

you should be able to order by dateAdded without it being in
the select clause. The only time the order by field has to be in
the select clause is when your query has an aggregate and group by
clause, like this:
select field1, field2, max(field3) as youralias
from sometables
where whatever
group by field1, field2
order by ???
You can only order field1, field2, max(field3) or youralias.
You can't order by field4.

Select statement in a function does Full Table Scan

All,
I have been coding a stored procedure that writes 38K rows in less than a minute. If I add another column which requires call to a package and 4 functions within that package, it runs for about 4 hours. I have confirmed that due to problems in one of the functions, the code does full table scans. The package and all of its functions were written by other contractors who have been long gone.
Please note that case_number_in (VARCHAR2) and effective_date_in (DATE) are parameters sent to the problem function and I have verified through TOAD’s debugger that their values are correct.
Table named ps2_benefit_register has over 40 million rows but case_number is an index for that table.
Table named ps1_case_fs has more than 20 million rows but also uses case_number as an index.
Select #1 – causes full table scan runs and writes 38K rows in a couple of hours.
{case}
SELECT max(a2.application_date)
INTO l_app_date
FROM dwfssd.ps2_benefit_register a1, dwfssd.ps2_case_fs a2
WHERE a2.case_number = case_number_in and
a1.case_number = a2.case_number and
a2.application_date <= effective_date_in and
a1.DOCUMENT_TYPE = 'F';
{case}
Select #2 – runs – hard coding values makes the code to write the same 38K rows in a few minutes.
{case}
SELECT max(a2.application_date)
INTO l_app_date
FROM dwfssd.ps2_benefit_register a1, dwfssd.ps2_case_fs a2
WHERE a2.case_number = 'A006438' and
a1.case_number = a2.case_number and
a2.application_date <= '01-Apr-2009' and
a1.DOCUMENT_TYPE = 'F';
{case}
Why using the values in the passed parameter in the first select statement causes full table scan?
Thank you for your help,
Seyed

             and C eq it_t1-C
Now Table T2 contains more than 10 lac records and at the end of select statement it_t2 is populated with 844003 but it takes a lot of time (15 -20 min) to execute second select statement.
Can this code be optimized?
Also i have created respective indexes on table T1 and T2 for the fields in Where Condition.
Regards,

If you have completed all the steps mentioned by others, in the above thread, and still you are facing issues then,.....
Use a Select within Select.
First Select Statement:
Select A B C P Q R package size 5000
     from T1 into Table it_t1
          where ....
Second Select Statement:
Select A B C X Y Z
     from T2 in it_t2 For All Entries in it_t1
          where A eq it_t1-A
             and B eq it_t1-B
             and C eq it_t1-C
do processing........
endselect
This way, while using for all entries on T2, your it_t1, will have limited number of entries and thus the 2nd select will be faster.

 ORDER BY 2 DESC;I have written the query to get the latest 12 months data from a table and split that into 4 quarter to show in the Cognos Report. But when the table having 13th or the past months data, the select statement is showing Empty values in the first two columns and fetching the 13 month data too.
Can anyone help me in this to avoid the problem.
Thanks

Questions on select statement in the data model

Hi,
In the select statement, the order by statement seems only to work at the lowest level of the select statement. Is this true?
What is the the purpose of the group by statement in the select statement?
As far as I understand, the grouping is catered for in the data model.....
Regards,
Kin

From the oracle report docs:
The order of column values in a default group is
determined by the ORDER BY clause of the query for
SQL queries and by the sort column for Express queries.
For column values in user-created groups, however, you
must use Break Order to specify how to order the break
column's values.So order by in your sql query is affected by groups in your data model.
The purpose of a group by statement in your select statement is to group values for aggregation purposes, like
select department_id,
       min(salary),
       max (salary)
from employees
group
    by department_id
order
    by department_id;Grouping in the data model of a report is a little different than a group by clause, but not entirely.

MySql select statement in jsp page

Ok,
I need help with this select statement.
<%
// Determine what option is set to.
if(option == null || "".equals(option) || "Verify1".equals(option)){
if("Verify1".equals(option)){
// Retrive query specific to submitted form.
try {
 Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance();
 conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://" + mysql_host + ":3306/" + mysql_database, mysql_login, mysql_password);
 st = conn.createStatement();
 rs= st.executeQuery("SELECT organization FROM tblevent_approval WHERE MAX (keyid))";
 // Get query results.
 while(rs.next()){
 organization = rs.getString("organization");
finally {
 if(rs != null){
 rs.close();
 if(st != null){
 st.close()
 if(conn != null){
 conn.close();
%>THE ERROR I AM GETTING
Syntax error, insert ")" to complete Expression

This line has the closing bracket inside the closing quote for the statement...
> rs= st.executeQuery("SELECT organization FROM tblevent_approval WHERE MAX (keyid))";It should be:
rs= st.executeQuery("SELECT organization FROM tblevent_approval WHERE MAX (keyid)");A simple typo ;-)
Hope this helps...

Operation in Select Statement

Hi,
In an ABAP select statement, how to do operations on two columns of a dictionary transparent table(say division or multiplication on two column values) ?
Reward points will be awarded .
TIA

hi,
see the below link
i hope it will useful for u .
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/62/10a423384746e8bf5f15ccdd36e8b1/content.htm
SELECT AVG(salary) FROM employees
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM employees
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT employee_name) FROM employees
SELECT employee_name, salary + benefit
 FROM employees
 WHERE salary < 0.8 *
 ( SELECT MAX( salary ) FROM employees )
Arithmetic Expressions. For all employees that have a salary not exceeding 80% of the salary of the maximum salary of all employees, this query returns the name of the employee and the sum of its salary and its benefit.

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.
