MS SQL equivalent query

Hi,
I need to show the hierarchy of account types. The parent child relationship is stored in account type table. For eg,
acc1 child is acc2 and acc3, acc2 child is acc4. So the children for acc1 is acc2,acc3,acc4.
I am able to do so in oracle db using below query:
select connect_by_root(account_type_id) root_id, account_type_name,account_type_id, parent_type_id
from account_types
connect by prior account_type_id = parent_type_id
I am not able to create the query for MS SQL, can anyone help me to convert above oracle query to MS SQL equivalent?

1. It is not MS SQL forum. Most of people here does not know MS SQL.
2. little googling helps: Recursive Queries Using Common Table Expressions http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186243%28v=sql.105%29.aspx

Converting SQL Server Query to Oracle

Hello TechFriends,
Can any one of u please tell me equivalent of following SQL Server Query?
The same query runs in Oracle but givesa same reocrds in different order!! I want such an equivalent oracle query that gives records in same order as Sql Server does.
select
ProfValue_ProfScaleFK ProfScale,
ProfValue_Value ProfValue,
isnull(ProfValueDesc.name, ProfValue_name) ProfName
from
ProfValueDesc inner join TBL_LMS_Lang
on lang_fk = lang_pk and langid = 'en'
right outer join ProfValue
on ProfValue_ProfScaleFK = ProfScale_fk and ProfValue_Value = ProfValue_FK ;
Regards & TIA.
Anand.

If you want a specific ordering why don't you add an ORDER BY clause?

Oracle SQL Select query takes long time than expected.

Hi,
I am facing a problem in SQL select query statement. There is a long time taken in select query from the Database.
The query is as follows.
select /*+rule */ f1.id,f1.fdn,p1.attr_name,p1.attr_value from fdnmappingtable f1,parametertable p1 where p1.id = f1.id and ((f1.object_type ='ne_sub_type.780' )) and ( (f1.id in(select id from fdnmappingtable where fdn like '0=#1#/14=#S0058-3#/17=#S0058-3#/18=#1#/780=#5#%')))order by f1.id asc
This query is taking more than 4 seconds to get the results in a system where the DB is running for more than 1 month.
The same query is taking very few milliseconds (50-100ms) in a system where the DB is freshly installed and the data in the tables are same in both the systems.
Kindly advice what is going wrong??

Sql select query problem

hi friends,
i've a view called "risk_efforts" with fields user_id,user_name,wknd_dt,week_day,prod_efforts,unprod_efforts.
Name Type

USER_ID VARCHAR2(14)
USER_NAME VARCHAR2(50)
WKND_DT VARCHAR2(8)
WEEK_DAY VARCHAR2(250)
PROD_EFFORTS NUMBER
UNPROD_EFFORTS NUMBER
data is like this:
when there is some data in prod_efforts, unprod_efforts will be null
when there is some data in unprod_efforts, prod_efforts will be null
for example:
USER_ID     USER_NAME     WKND_DT     WEEK_DAY     PROD_EFFORTS     UNPROD_EFFORTS
G666999     GTest     20100403     TUE     null 3
G666999     GTest     20100403     TUE     14     null
now i want to combine these 2 rows into 1 row i.e o/p should be like this
USER_ID     USER_NAME     WKND_DT     WEEK_DAY     PROD_EFFORTS     UNPROD_EFFORTS

i've tried all combinations but couldn't get the query. Please help me with the exact SQL select query.

Welcome to the forum.
First read this:
Urgency in online postings
Secondly, it's always helpful to provide the following:
1. Oracle version (SELECT * FROM V$VERSION)
2. Sample data in the form of CREATE / INSERT statements.
3. Expected output
4. Explanation of expected output (A.K.A. "business logic")
5. Use \ tags for #2 and #3. See FAQ (Link on top right side) for details.
You have provided #3 and #4. However with no usable form of sample data forum members will often not respond as quickly as they could if you provided #2.
I'm just wagering a guess here but what about this:SELECT ROW_ID
, USER_ID
, WKND_DT
, WEEK_DAY
, MAX(PROD_EFFORTS) AS PROD_EFFORTS
, MAX(UNPROD_EFFORTS) AS UNPROD_EFFORTS
FROM RISK_EFFORTS
GROUP BY ROW_ID
, USER_ID
, WKND_DT
, WEEK_DAY

How to capture all the rows returned from a sql select query in CPO

Hi,
I am executing an sql select query which returns multiple rows. I need to capture the values of each row to specific variables. How do I proceed.
Thanks,
Swati

The select activities ("Select from Oracle," Select from SQL Server," etc.) against database already return tables. Use one of the database adapters to do your select, and it will already be in a table form. Just put your query in the select and identify the columns in your result table. The online help or the database adapter guides in the product documentation can help.

Reg: SQL select Query in BPEL process flow


Hi,
I am suppose to execute a SQL select query (in BPEL Process flow) as mention below in JDeveloper using Database adapter.


SELECT LENGTH, WIDTH, HEIGHT, WEIGHT,


LENGTH*WIDTH* HEIGHT AS ITEM_CUBE


FROM CUBE


WHERE ITEM= <xyz>


AND OBJECT= (SELECT CASE_NAME FROM CUBE_SUPPLIER WHERE ITEM=<xyz> AND SUPP_IND = ‘Y')
Now my question is:
1. What does this "*" refer to in the query and how can I retrieve the value of LENGTH*WIDTH* HEIGHT from the query where LENGTH,WIDTH and HEIGHT are the individual field in the table.
2.What does this " AS" refer to? If " ITEM_CUBE " is the alies for the table name "ITEM" to retrieve the value, then query shoud be evaluated as


SELECT LENGTH, WIDTH, HEIGHT, WEIGHT,


LENGTH*WIDTH* HEIGHT AS ITEM_CUBE


FROM CUBE


WHERE ITEM_CUBE.ITEM= <xyz>


AND ITEM_CUBE.OBJECT= (SELECT CASE_NAME FROM CUBE_SUPPLIER WHERE ITEM=<xyz> AND SUPP_IND = ‘Y')
Is my assumption correct?
Please suggest asap.
Thanks...




Hi
Thank for your reply!
I have a nested select query which performs on two different table as shown below:

SELECT LENGTH, WIDTH, HEIGHT, WEIGHT,


LENGTH*WIDTH* HEIGHT AS ITEM_CUBE


FROM CUBE


WHERE ITEM= <abc>


AND OBJECT= (SELECT NAME FROM SUPPLIER WHERE ITEM=<Item> AND SUPP_IND = ‘Y')
I am using DB adapter of Oracle JDeveloper in BPEL process flow, where I can able to select only one master table in DB adapter say SUPPLIER and its attributes at a time.But as per my requirment I need to select both the table (CUBE and SUPPLIER) in a single adapter to execute my query.
It can be achievable by using two DB adapter , One to execute the nested query and another to execute the main qyery considering value of nested query as a parameter.But I want to achieve it by using a single one.
Am I correct with my concept?
Please suggest how to get it ?

T-SQL Equivalent For Group_Concat() Function

Hello, I am looking for a way to do the MSSQL T-SQL equivalent of the MySQL aggregate function: group_concat().
We are running SQL 2005 Express. Is there a pure T-SQL way to do this, or if not, a way to create a new custom aggregate function?
EX:
SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(FIRST_NAME) AS STUDENT_LIST FROM STUDENTS GROUP BY TEACHER
OUTPUT:
JOSH,JOEY,MARK,LINDA,PAM,BILL,MIKE,JUSTIN

Can anyone help me with MS SQL equivalent code for below MySQL statement.
select group_concat
(Col1
order
by field(Col2,8,13,15,53,55,6,73,75,3,42,41,45,44))

From SharePoint Content Database, Using SQL-Server Query how to fetch the 'Document GUID' based on 'Content Type'

I want to get all the documents based on content type using SQL Server Query. I know that, querying the content database without using API is not advisable, but still i want to perform this action through SQL Server Query. Can someone assist ?

You're right, it's not advisable, may result in corruption of your databases and might impact performance and stability. But assuming you're happy to do that then it is possible.
Before you go down that route, have you considered using something more safe like PowerShell? I've seen a script exactly like the one you describe and it would take far less time to do it through PS than it would through SQL.

Sql server query

sql server query to rearrange the rows after inserting the rows in a table

You want to re-arrange the data physically?!!! Why? I believe its something impossible other than having a clustered key(there could be some strange ways of doing it) and a thing that should not worry about. Always there is a ORDER BY CLAUSE to order your
data while retrieving

Marc,
Calling pm.flush() explicitly doesn't help. Calling
query.setIgnoreCache(true) does work, so that's good.
I even get the correct number of rows back in the Collection. Unfortunately
every item in the Collection is null. I definitely did a
query.setClass(DSChannelValueImpl.class) and it is enhanced properly,
because that's how the table got populated earlier in the test. I am doing a
SELECT *, so the class indicator and pk should be there. I'm assuming it
doesn't mind me aliasing the FROM table name, since I need to disambiguate
it to do a join (below).

How to do IF in SQL:
1) CASE
2) DECODE
3) UNION, UNION ALL, MINUS, INTERSECT
4) AND + OR + ()
5) stored functions
6) ...
which is best just depends on the situation. For your example I would use decode in the select clause and some UNION ALL for the from/where clauses.
