Need Sql Help

Hi , I need some help !
I have X table and some 1000 records .
Some example :Each record has ID , firstname ,lastname ,Monday,tuesday,Wed,Thurs,Fri,Sat,Sunday .
Now , Employer who works for Monday to Friday - has values in the record and Saturday ,Sunday - null values (due to off)
Now, i need sql query logic . For all the employers , Sat and Sunday values should be changed by Monday values .
Please,its kind of urgent .Hopefully my question clear .
Thanks :)

For this type of question, it is always a good idea to post:
1) CREATE TABLE statements for your table(s).
2) INSERT statements with sample data.
3) The desired result given the sample.
4) A short description of the business rules which explains why want that particular result.
5) Which version of SQL Server you are using.
This helps to clarify ambuiguities in your post and makes it simple to copy and paste into a query window to develop a tested query.
Since you said that this is urgent, I really recommend that you compose test data that covers all aspect of the problem, so that you can get a solution quickly.

Need SQL help in select data from 2 table..

hi,
i need some help here as i am new to sql statement
I have 3 tables.
Table1 :- TeamID, Team_Name, Team_Logo
Table2:- TeamID, PlayerID
Table3:- PlayerID, Player_Name
How do i do a single select statement that select all information from table1 and the count of playerID from table2?
My MS access table has relationships.
One team can have many players. So how do it get the numbers of player in my team?
Thanks.

Thanks.
but may i know why i have to max (a.team_name)???Actually there is no need of max() here, but it must be an aggregate function to use in this context. There is no harm in using it like this. This is a work around, I didn't get enough time to work on it.
But as long as it gives correct result, don't worry about it.
btw, how do i assign duke $$ to u?
i am new to this forum.You can read at http://forum.java.sun.com/rewardFaq.jsp#assign
Have a nice weekend.

Need SQL help to pull the accounts

I have a table with account and publications(300 to 305). Each account is associated with more 1 to 5 publications. Now i want accounts that are associated with greater than or equal to 2 publications. I need your help with the SQL. Thanks.

Maybe
select account
from accounts
group by account
having count(publication) > 1Regards

Friends need sql help

Dear Friends,
I have two selects running something like this:
select <column-names> from <table-names> where <conditions>
union
select <column-names> from <table-names> where <conditions>.
there are three outer-join conditions in the first select and
three outer joins in the second like:
c=l(+)[in the first select]
d=m(+)
e=n(+)
and
f=l(+) [in the second select]
g=m(+)
h=n(+)
The result here generates 52 rows which is correct.
Now the case is that I am removing the union clause from the above SQL
and converting it like this.
select <column-names[1]>+<column-names[2]> from <table-names[1]>+<table-names[2]> where <conditions[1]>+<conditions[2]>
but i get the error:
same table cannot be outerjoined to two tables in the same query because i now have this
in the new query :
c=l(+)[from the first select]
d=m(+)
e=n(+)
f=l(+) [from the second select]
g=m(+)
h=n(+)
if I remove the join like:
c=l[from the first select]
d=m
e=n
f=l(+) [from the second select]
g=m(+)
h=n(+)
the query executes but results into 160 rows too much of unneeded redundancy, which is wrong.
My question is that:"Is there any way to do this? I mean to remove the union and combine the two selects into one without affecting the result of the Query which should be 52 rows only (while not affecting the joins I think this should also be the case)".
Need your suggestions.
Thanks,
Vishal

Vishal,
What exactly are you trying to achieve? Removing/replacing the âunionâ is not really a goal.
You are comparing apples with oranges here.
select <column-names> from <table-names> where <conditions>
union
select <column-names> from <table-names> where <conditions>does one thing and â¦select <column-names[1]>+<column-names[2]> from <table-names[1]>+<table-names[2]> where <conditions[1]>+<conditions[2]>does another.
The results set cannot even be considered equivalent since one returns X columns and the other 2*X. Even if you ignore this aspect (how could you?) and compare the number of rows returned â¦ first query returns N+M-D1 (where N is rows returned from sql1, M is rows returned from sql2 and D1 is some number determined by the implicit distinct done by the âunionâ) â¦ the second query returns N*M-D2 (that is, the Cartesian product of sql1 and sql2 minus some D2 number if sql1 and sql2 have tables in common). N+M-D1 would be equal to N*M-D2 only by fluke.
Maybe, as Laurent put it, a concrete example with sample data and a proper stated goal are what you need to provide.

Need a help in SQL query

Hi,
I need a help in writing an SQL query . I am actually confused how to write a query. Below is the scenario.
CREATE TABLE demand_tmp
( item_id NUMBER,
org_id   NUMBER,
order_line_id NUMBER,
quantity NUMBER,
order_type NUMBER
CREATE TABLE order_tmp
( item_id NUMBER,
   org_id   NUMBER,
   order_line_id NUMBER,
   open_flag VARCHAR2(10)
INSERT INTO demand_tmp
SELECT 12438,82,821,100,30 FROM dual;
INSERT INTO demand_tmp
SELECT 12438,82,849,350,30 FROM dual;
INSERT INTO demand_tmp
SELECT 12438,82,NULL,150,29 FROM dual;
INSERT INTO demand_tmp
SELECT 12438,82,0,50,-1 FROM dual;
INSERT INTO order_tmp
SELECT 12438,82,821,'Y' FROM dual;
INSERT INTO order_tmp
SELECT 12438,82,849,'N' FROM dual;
Demand_tmp:
Item_id        org_id   order_line_id       quantity      order_type

12438     82                  849                N     I need to fetch the records from demand_tmp table whose order_line_id is present in order_tmp and having open_flag as 'Y' or if order_type in demand_tmp table is 29.
The below query will give the records whose order line id is present in order_tmp. But, If i need records which are having order_type=29 the below query wont return any records as order_line_id is NULL. If I place outer join I will get other records also (In this example order_type -1 records) . Please help me how can we write a query for this. Expected o/p is below.
Query :
Select item_id,org_id,order_line_id,quantity,order_type,open_flag
from demand_tmp dt , order_tmp ot
where dt.order_line_id = ot.order_line_id
AND dt.item_id=ot.item_id
AND dt.org_id = ot.org_id
AND ot.open_flag = 'Y';
Expected Output :
item_id     org_id     order_line_id     quantity     order_type   open_flag
12438     82                 821               100                    30             Y
12438     82              NULL               150                29         NULL Thanks in advance,

Hi Rakesh,
the query is not working as you would like ( but IS working as expected ) since your trying to compare null to another value.
Comparing null always results in FALSE, also if you compare null to null. This is because null means undefined.
select 1 from dual where null=null results in no data found.
I would suggest using a non natural key to join the tables.
For example include a column ID in the master table which is filled with a sequence and include that field as a foreign key in the detail table.
This way you can easily join master and detail on ID = ID, and you don't have to worry about null values in this column since it's always filled with data.
Regards,
Bas
btw, using the INNER JOIN and OUTER JOIN syntax in your SQL makes it better readable, since you're separating join conditions from the where clause, just a tip ;)

Anybody who can help me? I really need your help

I've tried to execute J2ee tutorial examples.
I don't know why this sample didn't execute...I've already finished to set up J2EE and enviornment variables.
I was trying this part from j2ee tutorial titled as "Packing Web modules".
Whenever I type "asant create-war" to make web modules in command window. I always got error.
Packaging Web Modules(From J2ee tutorial for your information)
A web module must be packaged into a WAR in certain deployment scenarios and whenever you want to distribute the web module. You package a web module into a WAR using the Application Server deploytool utility, by executing the jar command in a directory laid out in the format of a web module, or by using the asant utility. This tutorial allows you to use use either the first or the third approach. To build the hello1 application, follow these steps:
In a terminal window, go to <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/hello1/.
Run asant build. This target will spawn any necessary compilations and will copy files to the <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/hello1/build/ directory.
To package the application into a WAR named hello1.war using asant, use the following command:
asant create-war
This command uses web.xml and sun-web.xml files in the <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/hello1 directory.
To learn how to configure this web application, package the application using deploytool by following these steps:
Start deploytool.
Create a web application called hello1 by running the New Web Component wizard. Select FileNewWeb Component.
In the New Web Component wizard:
Select the Create New Stand-Alone WAR Module radio button.
In the WAR File field, enter <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/hello1/hello1.war. The WAR Display Name field will show hello1.
In the Context Root field, enter /hello1.
Click Edit Contents to add the content files.
In the Edit Contents dialog box, navigate to <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/hello1/build/. Select duke.waving.gif, index.jsp, and response.jsp and click Add. Click OK.
Click Next.
Select the No Component radio button and click Next.
Click Finish.
Select FileSave.
A sample hello1.war is provided in <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/provided-wars/. To open this WAR with deploytool, follow these steps:
Select FileOpen.
Navigate to the provided-wars directory.
Select the WAR.
Click Open Module.
I guess this step is for checking my system about setup information. I not sure how to change it.

Thank you in advance.

ok,
First of all make sure your tutorial folder is installed from the root:
C:\javaeetutorial5
or
D:\javaeetutorial5
it makes things so simple.
Secondly:
set your jee tutorial home
JAVAEE.TUTORIAL.HOME =
C:/javaeetutorial5
Thirdly: check in:
C:\javaeetutorial5\examples\bp-project
make a copy of the build.properties.sample save it as build.propropties, as a property file,
edit the properties file as in:
build.properties
As follows:
# uncomment the property javaee.home, and add the path
# to your GlassFish Java EE 5 SDK installation
javaee.home=c:/Sun/SDK
javaee.tutorial.home=c:/javaeetutorial5
# Uncomment the property j2ee.server.username,
# and replace the administrator username of the app-server
javaee.server.username=admin
# Uncomment the property j2ee.server.passwordfile,
# and replace the following line to point to a file that
# contains the admin password for your app-server.
# The file should contain the password in the following line:
AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin1234and so fourth. Some of the settings as the application server name is all done for you
and then test it again.
Take care of editing the property file. It can give you headache.
Note also that this is for application server 9.1 - JEE5.

SQL help: Selecting tickets with no open tasks

Hi Gurus,
I'm new to SQL. I need your help in a script where I need to fetch the tickets with no open tasks.
Say, following is the Task table
Table: Task
| ticketid | taskid | taskstatus |
| 1 | 1 | O |
| 1 | 2 | O |
| 1 | 3 | O |
| 2 | 4 | C |
| 2 | 5 | C |
| 3 | 6 | C |
| 3 | 7 | O |
The query should return the ticketid(s) with all its taskstatus = 'C'.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Need small help

Hi,
I need small help in sql*loader.I get data-files which has a particular identified on the 1st record( header ), based on which I've to load a constant for the 1st column of every row. How do I set in the control file.
Appreciate if someone can give me directions on this.
Thanks in advance,

Hi again!
I hope that a little shell script will do the thing for you.
1.) Create the following BASH-Script
#!/bin/bash
export CUSTNO=""
export CUSTNO=$(awk -F"," '{print NR " " $3}' datafile.csv | grep 1 | cut -d" " -f2)
sed -i 's/#x#/'$CUSTNO'/g' controlfile.datI've use datafile.csv as the name of the datafile to load and controlfile.dat as the name of your controlfile. Please change this to fit your needs.
This script looks for the occurrence of your constant value and stores this value in the variable CUSTNO. Then it look for a string #x# in your controlfile and changes #x# to the value of CUSTNO.
So in your controlfile there should be a line for custno like that:
custno CONSTANT '#x#'This line will be replace in your example to:
custno CONSTANT '35642'To get this to work I assume that:
1.) Your constant value is always at the third position in the header of your datafile.
2.) You've made the change with #x# in your controlfile.
I hope that this is really usefull to you.
Best Regards
Florian W.

We have a set of oracle clients running on T5220 zones that need some help

Greetings all -
We have a set of oracle clients running on T5220 zones that need some help.
If, for example, I execute the query "select (all) from dba_objects", trace output reports 90% of the elapsed time spent under "SQLNet message from client".
Here are OS details for the clients: Solaris 10 5/08 s10s_u5wos_10 SPARC
Running "uname -a" from the client gives:
(SunOS bmc-ste-app 5.10 Generic_127127-11 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5220)
Here are OS details for the dataserver: Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2
Running "uname -a" from the dataserver gives:
(2.6.18-92.1.6.0.2.el5 #1 SMP Thu Jun 26 17:44:55 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
The RDBMS is 10.2.0.4
Again, please note, there is no application in the picture here. We are just running a simple catalog query (select * from dba_objects) from sqlplus. Why the wait on something like this? The wait also occurs when a different query is used (select (all) from SYS.COL$ where rownum < 50000). And it doesn't matter if I used the full client or the instant client. I still get the same high-wait.
We had thought - maybe this is a network thing - so we put a test client on the same subnet as the dataserver. This helped - but not enough. The wait is still way too high even with firewalls taken out of the equation.
We've also looked at arraysize, SDU, kernel settings. And we've spent time going over tkprof, truss and sqlnet-tracing.
Has anyone ever had to solve this HIGH WAIT ON CLIENT issue? Is there a work around or some tweak I'm missing.
Is anyone configured like we are (linux dataserver, solaris clients)? If so - did you see anything like this?

Hello,
We have the exact same issue. Did you ever solve this issue? We have a t5220 and have just upgraded our 11.5.10.2 11i system on it from 9.2.0.8 32-bit sparc to 11.2.0.1 64-bit sparc. Things should be faster but arent, and our consultant has tracked it down to high wait times when the apps tier using forms connects to the database tier on the same box. So even though the t5220 is both server and client, there is something about the client sql connection.through TNS that his having trouble. Thanks for any information. We've also created an S/R with Oracle.
Note: I am well aware of the other issues with the CMT server series but this particular issue seems independent of the regular / known issues and remains a mystery to us. Other known issues with the CMT servers for SPARC:

Need urgent help in listing out checklist from DBA prespective for BI Implementation Project

Hello Guys,
We are in Designing phase Data Modeling of PDW/APS Implementation Project.
I need urgent help in making a checklist from a DBA perspective.
Like what are things ill be needing at a time of implementation/Deployment.
Your expert comments and help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Anish.S
Asandeen

You can get good summary of checklist from this article about
DBA checklist for data warehousing.
Which highlights on below pointers:
New system or old. (I.e. Up-gradation vs starting from scratch)
Complexity of SQL Server architecture
SQL Server storage
Determining SQL Server processing power
SQL Server installation consideration
SQL Server configuration parameter
SQL Server security
SQL Server Database property
SQL Server jobs and automation
Protecting SQL Server data
SQL Server health monitoring and check ups
SQL Server ownership and control
based on my real time experience, I will suggest you to keep an eye on
Load performance (It will be useful when your database(Warehouse) will have huge amount of data)
System availability (Check for Windows update and up time configuration)
Deployment methodology should be planned in advance. Development of packages and respective objects should be done systematically.
Source control mechanism
Disk space and memory usage
You might or might not have full rights on production environment, so be prepared to analyze production environment via Select statements [I guess you got my point]
Proper implementation of Landing , Staging and Mart tables.
Column size (this can drastically decrease your database size)
Usage of indexes (Index are good, but at what cost?)
I hope this will assist you in building your check list.

Loading external (PDF)file into BLOB colum in the table. Need urgent help.

Hi All,
I've currently been working on loading many external binary files (PDF) into BLOB column. After some digging, I learn that the SQL*LOADER can be used to load data from external files into table. I also got help from another forummate mentioning to use PL/SQL procedure to do so. Since I have not done anything like this before. So, my question is what is the simple approach needed to upload PDF files into a table(there is only one table containing BLOB column in my database). In addition, the LOBs can not be query-able, I wanted to list the contents of the LOBs column to make sure that I did successfully upload data into the database. How can I do that?. I do need your help. Please direct me step by step how to do so. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Trang

Once the PDF file is inserted in the PDM table, i am not able to read the PDF data from the below code, This code converts the binary data into the Character data i.e BLOB data into the CLOB, but still the data is not proper which is getting inserted PDF is proprietary format of Adobe. And you cant just read it from pl/sql. You need Adobe software installed in your client machine to view it.
Here is an example of how to do it.

Need some help with color on a column.

Hello
I need some help on how I can set the color on either column header or the whole column.
I have a report with where the first row display a total sum. The rows under that are htmldb_item.text where the user may input some values.
The sum of these textboxes should match the the total column on top. If it does not match then the header or column should be marked red.
I have one pl/sql prosess where i check this, and i return a message for that column, can I in this prosess set the column color for the report?
report looks like this
total1----total2----total3....
box1-----box2-----box3....
box1-----box2-----box3....
box1-----box2-----box3....
box1-----box2-----box3....
so if the sum of all the box1s do not match total1 then column or header is red.
thanks,
Anders

Hi Anders,
have a look at Carls example: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:7:3740381051529350
It works with row template, but maybe you can change it for working with column templates.

Need some help with computation

Hi, I need some help with the following:
My page 3 is a form thats shows, among other things, a document ID (:P3_DOC_ID). Next to this item I have created a button that calls a document selection form (page 10).
On selection this forms sets 2 items:
P10_SELECTED (Y or N)
P10_DOC_ID (the selected documents ID value)
When the user selects a document he returns to the calling form.
On page 3 I now try to capture the selected values. For a test item I managed to do this by defining this items source as:
[PL/SQL function body]
begin
if V('P10_SELECTED') = 'Y'
then
return V('P10_DOC_ID'); -- selected value
else
return V('P3_TEST'); -- else the original value
end if;
end;
However I want P3_DOC_ID to capture the selected value. I tried using a computation but that did not work. Any ideas?
thanks Rene

You might want to check if the "Source Used" attribute for P3_DOC_ID is set to always or to "only when ..." it sounds like you need it set to "only when ..."
If that does not work try this
Place the following in a pl/sql anonymous block and turn off your
computation.
if :P10_SELECTED = 'Y'
then
:P3_DOC_ID := :P10_DOC_ID; -- selected value
else
:P3_DOC_ID := :P3_TEST; -- else the original value
end if;
