Newbie help with SQL subqueries

I'm trying to teach myself SQL with some basic material I found online.
I am using the standard HR user and associated tables.
I want to be able to find all the departments which have an average salary greater than the average salary of the company.
I just can't figure out in my mind how to make this one query. I can list the average salaries of each department, and I can list the average salary for the company, but I can't seem to compare each department average with the company average.
I am sorry this is such a basic question.

Something like that maybe :
SQL> select *
2 from (select ename, sal, deptno, avg(sal) over (partition by deptno) avg_deptno from emp)
3 where sal>avg_deptno;
ENAME             SAL     DEPTNO AVG_DEPTNO
KING             5000         10 2916,66667
JONES            2975         20       2175
FORD             3000         20       2175
SCOTT            3000         20       2175
ALLEN            1600         30 1566,66667
BLAKE            2850         30 1566,66667

Need help with SQL Query with Inline View + Group by

Hello Gurus,
I would really appreciate your time and effort regarding this query. I have the following data set.
Reference_No---Check_Number---Check_Date--------Description-------------------------------Invoice_Number----------Invoice_Type---Paid_Amount-----Vendor_Number
1234567----------11223-------------- 7/5/2008----------paid for cleaning----------------------44345563------------------I-----------------*20.00*-------------19
1234567----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------Adjustment for bad quality---------44345563------------------A-----------------10.00------------19
7654321----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------Adjustment from last billing cycle-----23543556-------------------A--------------------50.00--------------19
4653456----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------paid for cleaning------------------------35654765--------------------I---------------------30.00-------------19
Please Ignore '----', added it for clarity
I am trying to write a query to aggregate paid_amount based on Reference_No, Check_Number, Payment_Date, Invoice_Number, Invoice_Type, Vendor_Number and display description with Invoice_type 'I' when there are multiple records with the same Reference_No, Check_Number, Payment_Date, Invoice_Number, Invoice_Type, Vendor_Number. When there are no multiple records I want to display the respective Description.
The query should return the following data set
Reference_No---Check_Number---Check_Date--------Description-------------------------------Invoice_Number----------Invoice_Type---Paid_Amount-----Vendor_Number
1234567----------11223-------------- 7/5/2008----------paid for cleaning----------------------44345563------------------I-----------------*10.00*------------19
7654321----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------Adjustment from last billing cycle-----23543556-------------------A--------------------50.00--------------19
4653456----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------paid for cleaning------------------------35654765-------------------I---------------------30.00--------------19
The following is my query. I am kind of lost.
select B.Description, A.sequence_id,A.check_date, A.check_number, A.invoice_number, A.amount, A.vendor_number
from (
select sequence_id,check_date, check_number, invoice_number, sum(paid_amount) amount, vendor_number
from INVOICE
group by sequence_id,check_date, check_number, invoice_number, vendor_number
) A, INVOICE B
where A.sequence_id = B.sequence_id
Thanks,
Nick

Where to find help with SQL Developer installation?

Hi,
I just want to try out SQL Developer and compare its capabilities to TOAD's. Unfortunately, I am not PC software savvy and now am stuck with a SQL Developer (sqldeveloper-1.2.2998) installation problem. When I clicked on the .exe file, I got a blank SQL Developer screen - there is nothing in the screen except a heading that reads 'Oracle SQL Developer'...
Does anyone know of a blog or a site that I can get some help with problems like mine?
Any help is much appreciated!

Hi,
SQL Developer forum link:
"http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=260"
There are 2 versions of SQL Developer, with/without JRE.
Try out the full install version with JRE.

Where clause "where 1=1" help with SQL tuning

Hello Tuning experts,
Is it helpful to use "where 1=1" and then put all the joins and conditions in the "AND" statements of the SQL when writing SQL queries. I would like to know if it helps with query performance to write SQL queirs that way.
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: oracle_developer on Oct 8, 2012 10:41 AM

You can see here that "where 1 = 1" is gone from the predicate info in the explain plan.
The optimizer simply discarded it.
SQL> explain plan for
2 select *
3 from emp
4 where 1 = 1
5 and job = 'SALESMAN';

Create a procedure to insert a record into the Bill_Items table. All the fields in the Bill_Items table will be specified as para with the exception of the Selling_Price, which will be the Current_Price, retrieved from the Menu_Items table. Do not allow the insert to finish unless there are enough of all ingredients on hand. If the insert is successfull, the quantity field in the Ingredient table will need to be updated accordingly.
Tables are below.

Help with SQL Server 2005 http Endpoint

I am trying to use mx:webservice to directly connect to a SQL
Server 2005 HTTP Endpoint. Is this possible. Is there going to be a
problem with crossdomain issues? If the Endpoint is actively
listening on port 80 then IIS cannot. So I cannot place
crossdomain.xml in webserver, how will I overcome this crossdomain
problem? Am I making this more complicated than it is? If anyone
has an example it would be appreciated. All I want is a flex2 app
talking directly to sql server. Seems possible.

Kent, I see that many others have reported that error (doing
a google search), but I see no ready answers. I saw something that
reminded me of a connection string value that I've seen answer some
problems. May be worth a shot for you: try adding this string to
the connection string (in "advanced options") for your datasource:
AuthenticationMethod=Type2
If it doesn't solve it, remove it. But keep it handy in case
it ever may help with some other problem.
Here's one other possible answer for you:

Sorry I can't be more clear for you.

Newbie: help with join in a select query

Hi: I need some help with creating a select statement.
I have two tables t1 (fields: id, time, cost, t2id) and t2 (fields: id, time, cost). t2id from t1 is the primary key in t2. I want a single select statement to list all time and cost from both t1 and t2. I think I need to use join but can't seem to figure it out even after going through some tutorials.
Thanks in advance.
Ray

t1 has following records
pkid, time, cost,product
1,123456,34,801
2,123457,20,802
3,345678,40,801
t2 has the following records
id,productid,time,cost
1,801,4356789,12
2,801,4356790,1
3,802,9845679,100
4,801,9345614,12
I want a query that will print following from t1 (time and cost for records that have product=801)
123456,34
345678,40
followed by following from t2 (time and cost for records that have productid=801)
4356789,12
4356790,1
9345614,12
Is this possible?
Thanks

Newbie - Help With templates

I am fairly new to dreamweaver. Looking to put together a
basic site for a holiday home for rent. Would like to include
photos of the house and surrounding area, travel details, details
of things to do and see, calendar, temeperature charts etc. Can
anyone suggest where I can get my hands on templates that would
help with this?
Many thanks

The best I've seen are from ProjectSeven -
http://www.projectseven.com/
They are commercial (look at the Page Packs) and they are
excellent.

Thank you.

You'll find a tutorial named "Create a basic navigation bar" in the Fireworks help files.

Newbie - help with a SQL query for a bar chart - Originally posted in APEX

I originally posted this in the APEX forum but someone there suggested this is more of a SQL question. Anyone out there who can provide some assistance?
Hi,
I'm a new user on APEX with no real SQL knowledge and I'm trying to build a dashboard with charts into an existing APEX application. Based on another application, I have come up with the following SQL code:
select null link
, CATEGORY label
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'1',PROJECT_ID))"Active"
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'2',PROJECT_ID))"Complete"
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'3',PROJECT_ID))"On Hold"
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'4',PROJECT_ID))"Pipeline"
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'5',PROJECT_ID))"Pending Review"
from GRAPO_PROHEADTRK
where (PROJECT_STATUS='1' or PROJECT_STATUS='2' or PROJECT_STATUS='3' or PROJECT_STATUS='4' or PROJECT_STATUS='5' or PROJECT_STATUS='6')
group by CATEGORY
Order by COUNT(PROJECT_ID) DESC
The code from the other app was:
select null link
, FUNCTIONAL_AREA label
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'Active',PROJECT_ID))"Active"
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'Complete',PROJECT_ID))"Complete"
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'On Hold',PROJECT_ID)) "On Hold"
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'Recurring',PROJECT_ID))"Recurring"

where LOB='S2S' and (FUNCTIONAL_AREA='Accounts Payable' or FUNCTIONAL_AREA='Expense' or FUNCTIONAL_AREA='Procurement' or FUNCTIONAL_AREA='Fixed Assets')
group by FUNCTIONAL_AREA
Order by COUNT(PROJECT_ID) DESC
I'm getting a "Failed to parse SQL query!" error when I try to run validation.
Is this enough info for some assistance? Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks,

group by CATEGORY
Order by COUNT(PROJECT_ID) DESCIs there a problem with the code above?
It's curious that the WHERE clause includes "PROJECT_STATUS='6'", but there is no pivoted column for project_status='6', like there is for '1' through '5'. That's not necessarily a mistake, and it wouldn't raise an error in any case.
Instead of
where (PROJECT_STATUS='1' or PROJECT_STATUS='2' or PROJECT_STATUS='3' or PROJECT_STATUS='4' or PROJECT_STATUS='5' or PROJECT_STATUS='6')you could say
where PROJECT_STATUS IN ('1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6')but that probably has nothing to do with your current problem.
The code from the other app was:
select null link
, FUNCTIONAL_AREA label
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'Active',PROJECT_ID))"Active"
, count (decode(PROJECT_STATUS,'Complete',PROJECT_ID))"Complete"

I'm getting a "Failed to parse SQL query!" error when I try to run validation.Is that an Apex error message? Sorry, I don't know anything about Apex.
If you can't get a more specific error message from Apex, then try debugging this statement in SQL*Plus. When you get it fixed, then you can copy it back into Apex.
If this is a SQL problem, then you should be able to re-create the problem in pure SQL.
If you can't re-create the problem in pure SQL, then it's probably an Apex problem, and belongs in the Apex forum, not here.
I don't see anything obviously wrong with your code, but I can't tell if, for example, you spelled a column name wrong, or if something has the wrong data type
Is this enough info for some assistance? Any help would really be appreciated.It wiould be better if you posted a completE script that people could run to re-create the problem, and to test their ideas.
Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved.
Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.
Always say which version of Oracle (and any other software, such as Apex) you're using.

Help with SQL MODEL Clause

I have the privilege of performing a very tedious task.
We have some home grown regular expressions in our company. I now need to expand these regular expressions.
Samples:
a = 0-3
b = Null, 0, 1
Expression: Meaning
1:5: 1,2,3,4,5
1a: 10, 11, 12, 13
1b: 1, 10, 11
1[2,3]ab: 120, 1200, 1201, ....
It get's even more inetersting because there is a possibility of 1[2,3]a.ab
I have created two base queries to aid me in my quest. I am using the SQL MODEL clause to solve this problem. I pretty confident that I should be able to convert evrything into a range and the use one of the MODEL clause listed below.
My only confusion is how do I INCREMENT dynamically. The INCREMENT seems to be a constant in both a FOR and ITERATE statement. I need to figure a way to increment with .01, .1, etc.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
CODE:
Reference:          http://www.sqlsnippets.com/en/topic-11663.html
Objective:          Expand a range with ITERATE
WITH t AS
(SELECT '2:4' pt
FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT '6:9' pt
FROM DUAL)
SELECT pt AS code_expression
-- , KEY
-- , min_key
-- , max_key
, m_1 AS code
FROM t
MODEL
PARTITION BY (pt)
DIMENSION BY ( 0 AS KEY )
MEASURES (
                    0 AS m_1,
                    TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(pt, 1, INSTR(pt, ':') - 1)) AS min_key,
                    TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(pt, INSTR(pt, ':') + 1)) AS max_key
RULES
-- UPSERT
ITERATE (100000) UNTIL ( ITERATION_NUMBER = max_key[0] - min_key[0] )
m_1[ITERATION_NUMBER] = min_key[0] + ITERATION_NUMBER
ORDER BY pt, m_1
Explanation:
Line numbers are based on the assupmtion that "WITH t AS" starts at line 5.
If you need detailed information regarding the MODEL clause please refer to
the Refrence site stated above or read some documentation.
Partition-
Line 18:     PARTITION BY (pt)
               This will make sure that each "KEY" will start at 0 for each value of pt.
Dimension-
Line 19:     DIMENSION BY ( 0 AS KEY )
               This is necessary for the refrences max_key[0], and min_key[0] to work.
Measures-
Line 21:      0 AS m_1
               A space holder for new values.
Line 22:     TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(pt, 1, INSTR(pt, ':') - 1)) AS min_key
               The result is '1' for '1:5'.
Line 23:     TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(pt, INSTR(pt, ':') + 1)) AS max_key
               The result is '5' for '1:5'.
Rules-
Line 26:     UPSERT
               This makes it possible for new rows to be created.
Line 27:     ITERATE (100000) UNTIL ( ITERATION_NUMBER = max_key[0] - min_key[0] )
               This reads ITERATE 100000 times or UNTIL the ITERATION_NUMBER = max_key[0] - min_key[0]
               which would be 4 for '1:5', but since the ITERATION_NUMBER starts at 0, whatever follows
               is repaeted 5 times.
Line 29:     m_1[ITERATION_NUMBER] = min_key[0] + ITERATION_NUMBER
               m_1[ITERATION_NUMBER] means m_1[Value of Dimension KEY].
               Thus for each row of KEY the m_1 is min_key[0] + ITERATION_NUMBER.

Of course, you can accomplish the same thing without MODEL using an Integer Series Generator like this.
create table t ( min_val number, max_val number, increment_size number );
insert into t values ( 2, 3, 0.1 );
insert into t values ( 1.02, 1.08, 0.02 );
commit;
create table integer_table as
select rownum - 1 as n from all_objects where rownum <= 100 ;
select
min_val ,
increment_size ,
min_val + (increment_size * n) as val
from t, integer_table
where
n between 0 and ((max_val - min_val)/increment_size)
order by 3
   MIN_VAL INCREMENT_SIZE        VAL
      1.02            .02       1.02
      1.02            .02       1.04
      1.02            .02       1.06
      1.02            .02       1.08
         2             .1          2
         2             .1        2.1
         2             .1        2.2
         2             .1        2.3
         2             .1        2.4

Help with SQL Date

Hi
How can I convert a string in 'YYYYMMDD' format to SQL date (in the format 'YYYYMMDD' and also 'YYYYMMDD HH24:MI:SS) to use in my SQL-query (for Oracle Database)
Thanks for your help
Praveen Padala

Hi
How can I convert a string in 'YYYYMMDD' format to
SQL date (in the format 'YYYYMMDD' and also 'YYYYMMDD
HH24:MI:SS) to use in my SQL-query (for Oracle
Database)
Thanks for your help
Praveen PadalaI've done quite a few dates from Java to an Oracle DB. I like to use the SimpleDateFormat class in the java.text packadge.
import java.text.*; //Use this import
//In your class
SimpleDateFormat myDateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy", new Locale("en","US"));
//The .format method returns a string. With this format string it can be included in an SQL command
myDateFormatter.format(myDate);
You can also use a SimpleDateFormat object with the format of your other dates to get a Date object that can be given to the SimpleDateFormat object set up to format in Oracle compatable form.
myDate is an object of type Date.
Hope this helps!
Kevin.
