What is your table structure? It is confusing. Post your sample input, output, table strucutre etc between {noformat}{noformat} and {noformat}{noformat}
And it looks like this.

Need help in rewriting a sql query

Can any one please tell me if there is any utility that can help me correcting the sql I have I need to tune the query as its taking lot of time. I want to use some tool that will help me re-formating the query.
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

If you think that Oracle SQL Tuning Tools like SQL Tuning Advisor and SQL Access Advisor are not helping.
You might look into thrid party tools like Quest- SQL Navigator and TOAD.
But I don't advise this based on the following:
Re: Oracle Third Party Tools and Oracle Database
Oracle have enough tools of its own to satisfy the various needs.

Need help in Report From SQL Query

Hi All,
I am facing a problem with a report. I need your help.
I am creating a Report From SQL Query (Portal) with some arguments passed at runtime. I am able to view the output, if the query returns few rows ( arount 1000 rows). But for some inputs it needs to generate >15000 records, at this point the page is getting time out (i think!) and showing error page. I am able to execute query from the SQL Plus console ot using TOAD editor. Here the query is not taking more that 2 mins time to show the result.
If i am executing from Portal i observed that, once i give the appropriate input and hit submit button a new oracle process is getting created for the query on UNIX (I am usign "TOP" command to check processes). The browser page will be shown error page after 5 minutes (i am assuming session time out!) , but on the backend the process will be executed for more than 30 mins.
I tried also increase the page time out in httpd.conf, but no use.
The data returned as a result of the query is sized more than 10 MB. Is caching this much data is possible by the browser page? is the returned data is creating any problem here.
Please help me to find appropriate reasone for the failure?

There could be a variety of reasons for the delayed processing of this report. That includes parameter settings for that page, cache settings, network configurations, etc.
- explore best optimization for your query;
- evaluate portal for best performance configuration; you may follow this note (Doc ID: *438794.1* ) for ideas;
- third: for that particular page carrying that report, you can use caching wisely. browser cache is neither decent for large files, nor practical. instead, explore the page cache settings that portal provides.
- also look for various log files (application.log and apache logs) if you are getting any warnings reflecting on some kind of processing halt.
- and last but not the least: if you happen to bring up a portal report with more than 10000 rows for display then think about the usage of the report. Evaluate whether that report is good/useful for anything?

Need Help with Creating the SQl query

Hi,
SQL query gurus...
INFORMATION:
I have two table, CURRENT and PREVIOUS.(Table Defs below).
CURRENT:
Column1 - CURR_PARENT
Column2 - CURR_CHILD
Column3 - CURR_CHILD_ATTRIBUTE 1
Column4 - CURR_CHILD_ATTRIBUTE 2
Column5 - CURR_CHILD_ATTRIBUTE 3
PREVIOUS:
Column1 - PREV_PARENT
Column2 - PREV_CHILD
Column3 - PREV_CHILD_ATTRIBUTE 1
Column4 - PREV_CHILD_ATTRIBUTE 2
Column5 - PREV_CHILD_ATTRIBUTE 3
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Here the columns 3 to 5 are the attributes of the Child. Lets assume that I have two loads, One Today which goes to the CURRENT table and one yesterday which goes to the PREVIOUS table. Between these two loads there is a CHANGE in the value for Columns either 3/4/5 or all of them(doesnt matter if one or all).
I want to determine what properties for the child have changed with the help of a MOST efficient SQL query.(PARENT+CHILD is unique key). The Database is ofcourse ORACLE.
Please help.
Regards,
Parag

Hi,
The last message was not posted by the same user_name that started the thread.
Please don't do that: it's confusing.
Earlier replies give you the information you want, with one row of output (maximum) per row in current_tbl. There may be 1, 2 or 3 changes on a row.
You just have to unpivot that data to get one row for every change, like this:
WITH     single_row AS
     SELECT     c.curr_parent
     ,     c.curr_child
     ,     c.curr_child_attribute1
     ,     c.curr_child_attribute2
     ,     c.curr_child_attribute3
     ,     DECODE (c.curr_child_attribute1, p.prev_child_attribute1, 0, 1) AS diff1
     ,     DECODE (c.curr_child_attribute2, p.prev_child_attribute2, 0, 2) AS diff2
     ,     DECODE (c.curr_child_attribute3, p.prev_child_attribute3, 0, 3) AS diff3
     FROM     current_tbl    c
     JOIN     previous_tbl   p     ON c.curr_parent     = p.prev_parent
                            AND c.curr_child     = p.prev_child
     WHERE     c.curr_child_attribute1     != p.prev_child_attribute1
     OR     c.curr_child_attribute2     != p.prev_child_attribute2
     OR     c.curr_child_attribute3     != p.prev_child_attribute3
,     cntr     AS
     SELECT     LEVEL     AS n
     FROM     dual
     CONNECT BY     LEVEL <= 3
SELECT     s.curr_parent     AS parent
,     s.curr_child     AS child
,     CASE     c.n
          WHEN 1 THEN s.curr_child_attribute1
          WHEN 2 THEN s.curr_child_attribute2
          WHEN 3 THEN s.curr_child_attribute3
     END          AS attribute
,     c.n          AS attribute_value

Need help in framing an SQL query

Hi ,
Requirement is that
Let’s say I have a table say X
I am passing two input params from UI and in DAO i am querying these input prams against the table X(has c1,c2 as columns ) (as it has two columns mapping the input params A,B from UI).
if either one or Both of the input params matches ,only then i should fetch the records accordingly. It's understood that there won't be a scenario that both input params are null from UI.
I have three conditions here,
1.     A match against X, B doesnt Match
2.     B match against X, A doesnt Match
3.     Both A & B match against X
if i use let's say,
SELECT *FROM X WHERE (c1= A OR c2= B) .
•     if A match against X B doesnt Match It is fetching all the records matching A - requirement fullfilled
•     B match against X A doesnt Match It is fetching all the records matching B- requirement fullfilled.
•     Both A & B match against X It is fetching all the records from the table matching the first condition (which here is A) . requirement not fullfilled.
I am thinking of using the following query but I need to frame it in a way that based on ACHK & BCHK we need to add the conditions.
SELECT CASE WHEN C1 = A THEN 0 ELSE 9 END AS ACHK, CASE WHEN C2 = B THEN 0 ELSE 9 END AS BCHK FROM X
Based on ACHK & BCHK append the conditions. i.e.
IF ACHK = 0 AND BCHK = 0 THEN
AND C1 = A AND C2 = B
ELSE
AND (C1 = A OR C2 = B)
Please help.

Would be glad if you can shed some light on role of DENSE_RANK here (ofcourse i did read the forums but i am confused on what basis a row is ranked).Complicated queries and expressions are usually built of smaller, simpler parts. To understand how the big, complicated thing works, look first at the smaller, simpler components of it, and make sure you understand how they work.
In this case, the query is composed of a sub-query and a main query. Start by looking at the sub-query only. Display all rows and all columns of the sub-query.
Break apart the complicated components of that sub-query. Rnk depends on an ORDER BY clause, but the expression used in that ORDER BY clause isn't displayed anywhere. Copy and display just that expression. (I called this case_1_2 in the query below.) Even that may be too complicated to understand, so break it apart. Case_1_2 is formed by adding 2 smaller CASE expressions; in the query below, I displayed each of the in separate columns (case_1 and case_2).
So here's a query you might use to understand and debug the query I posted:

For example, the first 12 rows of output show what we found when we were looking for ('ABC', 10). There were 12 rows in table x that had either ca='ABC' or c2=10 (or both). We used the rnk column to find the best match: lower numbers mean better matches. How did we do that? By using the DENSE_RANK function with a DESCending order by clause, that is, we used <tt> DENSE_RANK () OVER (... ORDER BY exp DESC) </tt>, which means that higher values of exp produce lower values from DENSE_RANK. What is exp? It's the column I called case_1_2. As you can see, when there was a perfect match ('ABC', 10), then case_1_2 had the value 3. Less perfect matches got lower values of case_1_2; for example ('ZZZ', 10) only had 2 in the case_1_2 column, and ('ABC', 5) only had 1. Why did case_1_2 have values of 3, 2 or 1 on those rows? Well, it's the sum of case_1 and case_2, so look at those individual columns, and see how they are computed.

Help me write a SQL query; urgent

Hi, can somebody please help me write a SQL query.
I have 3 tables each with the same column names (Col1, Col2, Col3). Col1 is PK with Unique Constraint.
I wanted to add values of Col2 and Col3 (from all 3 tables) and put it in a separate table (i.e aggregated) of all values found in Col1.
Does anybody help me please ?
thanks alot.

Please don't mark your question as urgent. You've been around here long enough that you should know that it will not get your question anwered any faster, and may just irritate people into not answering at all.
I'm not sure exactly what you want.
Are you saying you want t1.c2 + t1.c3 + t2.c2 + t2.c3+ t3.c2 + t3.c3 for the rows that have the same c1 in all three tables?
If so, it would be like this, I think: insert into t4
select t1.c1
, t1.c2 + t1.c3 + t2.c2 + t2.c3+ t3.c2 + t3.c3
from t1, t2, t3
where t2.c1 = t1.c1
and t3.c1 = t1.c1If that's not what you want, please clarify.
And next time maybe you should post your SQL question in a SQL forum.

Need help with a small application

Hi all, I please need help with a small application that I need to do for a homework assignment.
Here is what I need to do:
"Write an application that creates a frame with one button.
Every time the button is clicked, the button must be changed
to a random color."
I already coded a part of the application, but I don't know what to do further.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ColourButton extends JFrame {
     JButton button = new JButton("Change Colour");
     public ColourButton() {
          super ("Colour Button");
          setSize(250, 150);
          setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();

Can anyone please help me with this.
Thanks.

First update your 10.6 version to 10.6.8 from the software update under the Apple Menu.
This will add direct access to the Mac App store via a new application.
Now launch the App Store from your Applications folder - Its the new icon a letter A formed from a ruler pencil and pen on a blue circle !
Once launched you need to add your iTunes account details or create an account add payment details etc...
Sign in purchase download and follow install processes to upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion.
OH and to be safe BEFORE you install backup your current system to an external drive !

Need help on small sql query

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to show 'F&D' string. I can explain this by below query.
select 'F&D' from dual
but when I run this query, toad prompts me to enter value for &D variable :( But my requirement is to show 'F&D' string.
Can anyone please tell me what modification needs to be done to above query to get string 'F&D' as output.
I know work around for this as below.
select 'F'||chr(38)||'D' from dual
I want permenant solution for this. Can anyone please help me?
Thanks
Shantanu

see if below make difference
SQL> select 'F&D' from dual ;
Enter value for d: &D
old 1: select 'F&D' from dual
new 1: select 'F&D' from dual
'F&
F&D
SQL> select 'F'||'&'||'D' from dual ;
'F'
F&D

Please help me with this SQL query

I am practicing SQL queries and have come across one involving fetching data from 3 different tables.
The three tables are as below
<pre>
Country
location_id          country
loc1          Spain
loc2          England
loc3          Spain
loc4          USA
loc5          Italy
loc6          USA
loc7          USA
</pre>
<pre>
User
user_id location_id
u1 loc1
u2 loc1
u3 loc2
u4 loc2
u5 loc1
u6 loc3
</pre>
<pre>
Post
post_id user_id
p1 u1
p2 u1
p3 u2
p4 u3
p5 u1
p6 u2
</pre>
I am trying to write an SQL query - for each country of users, display the average number of posts
I understand the logic behind this that we first need to group together all the locations and then the users belonging to one country and then find the average of their posts.
But, i'm having a difficulty in putting this in SQL form. Could someone please help me with this query.
Thanks.

select
country.country,
count(*) Totalpostspercountry,
count(distinct post.user_id) Totaldistincuserspercountry,
count(*)/count(distinct post.user_id) Avgpostsperuserbycountry
from
country, muser, post
where country.location_id = muser.location_id
and muser.user_id = post.user_id
group by country.country
The output is like this for your sample data - hope this is what you were looking for :)
COUNTRY,TOTALPOSTSPERCOUNTRY,TOTALDISTINCUSERSPERCOUNTRY,AVGPOSTSPERUSERBYCOUNTRY
England,1,1,1,
Spain,5,2,2.5,

Continuation-Please help with a complex sql query

Hi all,
Thanks a lot for your suggestions and inputs in the last thread of this post.
With the help of your suggested approach,i went ahead and was able to get some more data in the format as needed..I worked on gradually adding one table after another exactly as the data is required stepwise.But,still I am facing issues with displaying them.
there are many issues I am not able to do and would appreciate if you please have a look at my latest modified SELECT given below and help me writing it to get the display as needed.
Below,is the attempted query i tried out using your inputs.But,am stuck and need your help in writing it.
**Here,there is 1 ->MANY lines for the t_objective_id--->This has many learning_record_ids which i want to group by the unique objective_id.
Also,prior to that,there is a tplan_id---->which has MANY t_objective_id's

           AND test_op.o_person_id = test_cp.person_id
           AND test_tpo.tplan_id = tp.tplan_id)
If we see the outer SELECT ---then one of the main issues is for EACH t_objective_id----->There are n learning_record_ids.
But,this select only shows 1 learning_record_id for each objective_id which is wrong.
Similarly,the data displayed isnot proper.
Below is the way I am getting the data now from the above SELECT.
Note:- FIRSTNAME is not correctly displayed.
FIRSTNAME     EMPLID     TPLAN_NAME     TPLAN_ID     ACTIVITIES     ACTIVITIES_1
                  001                TP1          tplan1          5          5
TESTNAME                                              tplan1           5
Continuation of the other columns of the same rows--**couldnt paste it properly so.
T_OBJECTIVE_ID     COMPLETED_ACTIVITIES     REQUIRED_CREDITS     LEARNING_RECORD_ID        CATALOG_ITEM_NAME     CATALOG_ITEM_TYPE
          obj1               1                         5                         lr1                            C1                          Course
                obj2               4                        4

Need Help with Formula using SQL maybe

I need help! I work with Crystal reports XI and usually manage just fine with the Formula editor but his one I think will require some SQL and I am not good at that.
We are running SQL 2000 I think (Enterprise Manager 8.0) Our sales people schedule activities and enter notes for customer accounts. Each is stored in a separate table. I need to find activities that are scheduled 240 days into the future and show the most recent note that goes with the account for which that activity is scheduled.
The two tables, Activities and History, share the an accountID field in common that links them to the correct customer account.   I want to look at dates in the Startdate.Activities field more than 240 days in the future and show the most recent note from the History table where the accountid's match. I figure my query will contain a join on AccountID.Activities and AccountID.History used with Max(completedate.History) but I do not understand how to word it.
I would like to perform all this in crystal if possible. I humbly request your help.
Membery

You SQL would look something like this...
SELECT
a.AccountID,
a.BlahBlahBlah, -- Any other fields you want from the Activities table
h.LastComment
FROM Activities AS a
LEFT OUTER JOIN History AS h ON a.AccountID = h.AccountID
WHERE (a.ActivityDate BETWEEN GetDate() AND DateAdd(dd, 240, GetDate()))
AND h.HistoryID IN (
     SELECT MAX(HistoryID)
     FROM History
     GROUP BY AccountID)
This method assumes that the History table has a HistoryID that increments up automatically each time a new comment is added... So a comment made today would always have a higher HistoryID that one made yesterday.
If I'm wrong and there is no HistoryID or the HistoryID doesn't increment in a chronological fashion, it can still be done but the code is a bit more complex.

Need help to change BO generated query at universe leavel

Hi
Is there any possiblity to change sql at universe leavel.Kindly help me i am new to designer.
The below is the BO generated query.
SELECT specObjID
FROM SpecObj
WHERE SpecClass = dbo.fSpecClass('UNKNOWN')
Users are not intrested to go for coustomised sql in report leavel.
I need to change the above sql accordingly due to some performance issues.
The feilds that specify in the where clause SpecClass = dbo.fSpecClass('UNKNOWN') move to from clause.
Like below
SELECT specObjID
FROM SpecObj ,SpecClass = dbo.fSpecClass('UNKNOWN')
WHERE
Kindly suggest me greatly appriciated.
Thanks.
Raj

HI,
As per your expectation query like below is not possible to give condition in from clause as per my understand,
SELECT specObjID
FROM SpecObj ,SpecClass = dbo.fSpecClass('UNKNOWN')
WHERE
I think your expected result can be achieved by giving condition while creating the object SpecObj.
Steps:
Go to universe, then edit the object SpecObj there you can give the where clause condition
WHERE SpecClass = dbo.fSpecClass('UNKNOWN')
This will increase your performance.

Need help with min max sql

hi all, forgot i had a user name and password and haven't needed help for quite a bit since i didn't do sql for a while but now i'm back at reporting again...
Here is a sample table as i remember it:
Item     Date     Time     Time Frame     Duration     Duration Frame
A     20100926     0     5     500     10
A     20100926     600     10     500     30
A     20100926     1500     12     100     30
B     20100926     1800     28     200     40
B     20100926     2200     6     150     70
B     20100926     2600     15     600     60
B     20100926     3600     30     200     70
Results Set (expected):
Item     Date     Time     Total Duration
A     20100926     0     1600:20     --basically max (time+duration) - min(time+duration)
B     20100926     1800     2000:00
Sorry, but. I didnt put my sql statement as I wasn't planning on posting and left it at work, but, i've been looking on internet and people say to use min/max function and i've attenpted it with it works with just this table (without grouping). But as soon as i group it the values seem to mess up.
Last i remembered it gave me:
Item     Date     Time     Total Duration
A     20100926     0     1600:30     --basically max(time+duration) - min(time+duration)
B     20100926     1800     2000:70
I think it's looking at max duration which is 30&70 and hence it retrurns those values in the result set. Is it because of the max function hence it's returning this value? any help is appreciated. thanks

Okay, here we go again, repost, hopefully okay this time:
Hi Madhu, okay, just got to work: I am using TOAD and working in Oracle 10g. Here is my table structure and the query i use to try and get what I am looking for:
There is one extra table but that is only used to link these two tables listed below so i didn't bother posting it.
TABLE: TX_RECON_INSTANCE_VIEW
ColumnName ColID DataType Null
CHANNEL_CODE 3 VARCHAR2 (4 Char) N
DURATION 8 NUMBER (10) N
DURATION_FRAME 9 NUMBER (2) N
REAL_TIME 6 NUMBER (10) N
REAL_TIME_FRAME 7 NUMBER (2) N

--> SCHEDULED DURATION "00:29:31:20" is not correct as it should be (00:25:22:08+00:04:09:14)-(00:00:00:00)=00:29:31:22
--> see expected results below

And the query I am using:
SELECT --TXR.TX_ID,
TXR.TX_DATE, TXR.ITEM_ID,
TO_CHAR(TRUNC((MIN(TXR.REAL_TIME) KEEP (DENSE_RANK FIRST ORDER BY TXR.REAL_TIME) )/3600),'FM00')||':'||TO_CHAR(TRUNC(MOD(MIN(TXR.REAL_TIME) KEEP (DENSE_RANK FIRST ORDER BY TXR.REAL_TIME) ,3600)/60),'FM00')||':'||TO_CHAR(MOD(MIN(TXR.REAL_TIME) KEEP (DENSE_RANK FIRST ORDER BY TXR.REAL_TIME) ,60),'FM00')||':'||TO_CHAR(MOD(MIN(TXR.REAL_TIME_FRAME) KEEP (DENSE_RANK FIRST ORDER BY TXR.REAL_TIME) ,60),'FM00') "AS RUN TIME",

FROM TX_RECON_INSTANCE_VIEW TXR, TX_SCHEDULE TXS, TX_SCHEDULE_RECON TXREC
WHERE TXR.TX_DATE=20100926 AND TXR.TX_TYPE='P'
AND TXR.TX_ID=TXREC.RECON_TX_ID(+)
AND TXREC.BASE_TX_ID=TXS.TX_ID(+)
GROUP BY TXR.TX_DATE, TXR.ITEM_ID
ORDER BY TXR.TX_DATE, TXR.ITEM_ID, MAX(TXR.REAL_TIME)--does this work for everyone now? let me know...thanks
