Need help getting totals. does nvl(' ',0) return a numeric 0 ?

I am having problems trying to total some columns and I think it has to do with the sql not seeing the information as numeric.
I created this to test. With this nvl it displays ORA-01722: invalid number
select bcount.b1,bcount.b2,bcount.b3,acount.a1,acount.a2,acount.a3,bcount.b1 + bcount.b2 + bcount.b3 + acount.a1 + acount.a2 + acount.a3 mytot
from
(select 10 item,nvl(' ',0) b1,2 b2, 3 b3 from dual) bcount,
(select 10 item,1 a1,2 a2, 3 a3 from dual) acount
where bcount.item = acount.item
Actual sql
select emp.file_no,nvl(reg.regcount,0) regcount,nvl(ded.dedcount,0) dedcount,rehrg.rehrgcount,rop.ropcount,vs.vscount,
wtc.wtccount,timeline.tlcount,hl.hlcount,addl.addcount,op.opcount,oi.oicount,opoi.opoicount,
regcount + dedcount mtotal
if regcount = 8 and dedcount = 0 I get blank for my mtotal.
I think its because the nvl returns a 0 but the sql does not know this to be a number.
What do I do?
Howard

I hope this helps and thanks

Help with nvl and to_char in query

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with finding the reason that the following query gives me an invalid number error:
SELECT     to_char('dd/mm/yyyy',nvl(co_modified_date,co_added_date)) as d1
FROM     co_allergies_record_upd
WHERE          co_allergies_record_upd_id IN (
SELECT co_allergies_record_upd_id
FROM     co_allergies_link_upd
WHERE     co_allergies_rec_id = 42
ORDER BY     nvl(co_modified_date,co_added_date) DESC
Specifically, it is the nvl(co_modified_date,co_added_date) which is causing the error. The co_added_date has a NOT NULL constraint, and both are date fields. What could be causing the error?

You have missed format and data argument places in to_char():
SELECT to_char('dd/mm/yyyy',nvl(co_modified_date,co_added_date)) as d1
FROM co_allergies_record_upd
WHERE co_allergies_record_upd_id IN (

Help with outer joins? NVL?

HI,
I have two reports I am creating, one for October and one for november.
The query is below so you can see what I am trying to do. There is a difference of about two hundred accounts, I want to see which accounts were in October and not in November. How can I view the different accounts and list them along side the november accounts or if this can't be done, how can I at least see the accounts which differ between the months? I am thinking that I need to build one report as an inline-view in the from clause, and then do an outerjoin on that aliased table, but am not sure on the syntax. Also, how can I use the NVL function to put in a value for the NULL columns?

QUERY HELP!!! trying to create a query

i'm creating a summary report
i have a table with sale dates
for example i have a table tab_1 and column saleDate as
saleDat
1923
1936
1945
2003
2005
saleDate contains years and there are some missing years where no sale
was made
My report has to display years starting from earliest year
so i have to create a query that starts with 1923
but the problem is that I have to have years that are not in table.
for example i have to display years 1924 which is not in table
so the part of report has to look like
1923 blah blah summary.........
1924 "
1925
1926
2005
2006
upto current year (2006 may not be in the table, but i have to display)
i just need to know the query that can query all the years starting from
the ealiest saleDate to current year
thanks in advance

Please write the query in the following form:
SELECT a.year, --- place other columns from your table.
FROM (SELECT (:start_num + rownum) year
FROM all_tab_columns
WHERE :start_num + rownum <= :end_num) a,
tab_1 b
WHERE a.year = b.saleDat(+);
Note:
1) if your start year and end year are 1923 and 2006. Then input as below:
:start_num = 1922
:end_num = 2006
2) Since for some of the years (1924 etc) may not be there in your so you may need to use NVL to print proper indicators.
3) If you have more than one record in tab_1 for a particular year then group them based year and then use it.
Hope this helps.

1. I want to get rid of the p_start and p_end. So how do i declare the v_startdate and v_enddate in the following part?
v_startdate := to_date(p_start, 'YYYY/MM');
v_enddate := last_day(to_date(p_end, 'YYYY/MM'));I'm not sure what you mean by "declare".
In PL/SQL, "declare" means state (at the beginning of a block) that there will be a certain variable with a certain name (such as v_startdate) and datatype (such as DATE). You're already declaring the variables v_startdate and v_enddate correctly, right before the BEGIN statement.
Declaring a variable is not the same as initializing it, that is, giving it a value for the first time. Your next question seems to be about initializing..
2. where exactly shud i include the logic that u have mentioned. sorry a dumb questionIn place of the two assignment statments that reference p_start and p_end.
3. This time am gonna use frequency instead of report_type so that i will get rid of the p_start and p_end from the procedure.Do you mean you want to pass an argument (called frequency) that tells if you want a quarterly or a mionthly report, just like the variable report_type in my example?
If so, replace report_type in my example with frequency.
I think you want something like this:

     IF frequency = 'QUARTERLY'
     THEN
          v_startdate := TRUNC ( ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE, -3)

Help needed in writing SQL CASE or DECODE statement

Hi experts,
I need to write a SQL to select order_num, cntry_cde, prod_id and Qty by joining order_num on PROD_ORDER and PROD_ORDER_TXT.
Here is my sample data
PRODORDER_
order_num     cntry_cde     Prod_id     Qty
100     US     A1     5
101     US     A2     10
102     AU     A3     4
103     AU     A4     9
104     IN     A5     3
PRODORDER_TXT_
order_num     cntry_cde     Prod_id
100     US     A1
101     US     A2
102     NZ     A3
103     AU     A4
104          A5
Here is the requirement,
1) If the cntry_cde in PROD_ORDER is same as cntry_cde in PROD_ORDER_TXT then select PROD_ORDER.cntry_cde (orders 100, 101, 103)
2) If they are different, pick the country code from PROD_ORDER_TXT (order 102, AU <> NZ)
3) If they are different and PROD_ORDER_TXT.cntry_cde is NULL, I cannot use it as cntry_cde in my report (order 104). It happenend just because of the bad data at source.
I cannot avoid it. Then simply use the cntry_cde from PROD_ORDER
Output expected
100     US     A1     5
101     US     A2     10
102     NZ     A3     4 -- AU changed to NZ
103     AU     A4     9
104     IN     A5     3 -- IN retained as PROD_ORDER_TXT.cntry_cde is null
sample table creation and insert statements are below
create table prod_order
(order_num number,
cntry_cde CHAR(2),
prod_id VARCHAR2(6),
qty number)
create table prod_order_txt
(order_num number,
cntry_cde CHAR(2),
prod_id VARCHAR2(6))
insert into prod_order values (100, 'US', 'A1',5);
insert into prod_order values (101, 'US', 'A2',1);
insert into prod_order values (102, 'AU', 'A3',4);
insert into prod_order values (103, 'AU', 'A4',9);
insert into prod_order values (104, 'IN', 'A5',3);
insert into prod_order_txt values (100,'US','A1');
insert into prod_order_txt values (101,'US','A2');
insert into prod_order_txt values (102,'NZ','A3');
insert into prod_order_txt values (103,'AU','A4');
insert into prod_order_txt values (104,NULL,'A5');
commit;
Thanks for your help in advance

Hello
Thank you for posting all of the ddl and test data along with your expected output - very helpful!. One small point would be to remember to type {noformat}{noformat} before and after any section of code or data in your post so that formatting is retained. Anyway, this should be a simple join and a combination of CASE and NVL...Select
po.order_num,
CASE
WHEN po.cntry_cde != NVL(pot.cntry_cde,po.cntry_cde)
THEN
pot.cntry_cde
ELSE
po.cntry_cde
END cntry_code,
po.prod_id,
po.qty
FROM
prod_order po
JOIN
prod_order_txt pot
ON
( po.order_num = pot.order_num
ORDER_NUM CN PROD_I QTY
100 US A1 5
101 US A2 1
102 NZ A3 4
103 AU A4 9
104 IN A5 3
5 rows selected.

Help on Decode function in Toplink

Hi,
I have a sql statement like this:
select field1, field2 from table1 where upper(field1) like 'ADELPHI%'
order by field1,
DECODE(TO_CHAR(NVL(LENGTH(TRANSLATE(field1,'A1234567890','A')),0)),'0',LPAD(field1 ,50),field1)
How would I converted this to toplink query?
I appreciate any help you guys can extend to me.

I just spent about a half hour writing a response here, and the damned forum timed out on me. #$^!@$#!^!@$%.
Here is the summary:
- Using TL Expressions and EJBQL are to allow Java developers who don't necessarily know SQL to write queries and to facilitate portability/maintainability of the apps. For REALLY gnarly queries, using TL Expressions or EJBQL won't buy you this. I.e., SQL is more expressive and easier for this kind of quer, so it's not easier to use, and frankly with the code needed to support it, it won't be easier to maintain or port... Bottom line, maybe SQL is the best option here?
- If you want to experiment, search for TO_CHAR on this forum, and the decode function in the javadoc. You need to build the expressions in pieces and you can treat expressions as arguments to other expressions -- in other words, you can build an expression like builder.leftPad(50, builder.get("field1")) and use it as one of the key/values in the hashtable to the decode function (in theory).

Help on converting query with case into decode

Hi Can anyone help me to revise my plsql query? Below is a portion og the procedure I am changing to meet Oracle 8i.
SELECT SUM(NVL(CASE WHEN (weeks='wk1' ) THEN qty END, 0)) wk1,
SUM(NVL(CASE WHEN (weeks='wk2' ) THEN qty END, 0)) wk2,
SUM(NVL(CASE WHEN (weeks='wk3' ) THEN qty END, 0)) wk3,
SUM(NVL(CASE WHEN (weeks='wk4' ) THEN qty END, 0)) wk4
FROM TABLE1
Thanks in advance.

pls try this....(code not tested as no create table etc provided).
select dt
from (select decode(is_tbd,
'yes',
decode(is_tbd_order,
'no',
'tbd',
decode(sign(ex_fac_date - (v_asofdate + 131)),
1,
'tbd',
null),
decode(sign(ex_fac_date - (v_asofdate + 131)),
1,
'tbd',
null)),
null) dt
from dual
union all
select decode(sign(ex_fac_date - (v_asofdate - 1)),
1,
decode(sign(ex_fac_date - (v_asofdate + 5)),

Help to read TKPROF file in correct way

Hi,
I need help to understand what is going wrong.
I have one query executed with different bind variables values.
Case 1: Execution time is about 7.5 hours when :v6=:v3=:v4 (these are date bind variables values)
Case 2: Execution time is about 2 minuteswhen :v6 differs from :v3 and :v4, but :v3=:v4 (these are date bind variables values)
You can see TKPROF files below

the plans show that your first query has to do much more work than the second query (250M vs. 17M consistent gets). The queries use different plans and the second plan seems to be the better choice - since the first query does not return any rows. The plans also tell us where the time is spent - and there are some nested loops with extreme execution counts and a lot of expansive index access operations (especially the skip scan on P_HOLDINGS), but I would prefer to use a a plan with rowsource statistics to find the errors in the optimizers cardinality estimations.

This is the Query and the query takes some mins. to run in prod environment.
From the Query plan ,I am not able to get any idea for optimization.
Now,Can you tell me which steps I need to follow to run it faster and which all modifications should be made?
Thanks.

Hi,
Do a self-join, to combine the two rows for each value of id1 onto one output row.
Make it an outer join, in case there is only one row with a vlaue for id1.
SELECT l.id1
,     l.name1
,     NVL ( r.name11
         , l.name11
         )          AS name11
FROM              table1     l
LEFT OUTER JOIN     table1     r ON l.id1     = r.id1
                          AND l.name1     < r.name1

Sorry, I mis-read the problem.
Lee's solution, above, assumes that name1 is unique, as it is in your sample data.
What output would you want if that's not the case?
If name1 is not unique, but the combination of (id1, name1) is unique, then you can modify Lee's solution like this:
SELECT *
FROM    table1
WHERE   (id1, name1) IN (
                    SELECT    id1
                    ,       MAX (name1)
                           FROM          table1
                    GROUP BY id1
;Or, if you can't make any assumptions about uniqueness, you might need something like this:
WITH     got_r_num     AS
     SELECT id1, name1, name11
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY id1
                               ORDER BY         name1     DESC
                         ,                name11     DESC
                       )      AS r_num
     FROM     table1
SELECT id1, name1, name11
FROM     got_r_num
WHERE     r_num     = 1
;

Help needed for implementing master details region on the search page

Hi All,
     I am new to Jdeveloper and OAF. I need to develop a sales order search page, for which the VO query is
     SELECT ch.order_number order_number
     , ch.attribute97 order_detail
     , ch.attribute14 sold_to
     , ch.attribute50 business_group
     , ch.source_doc_type source_doc_type
     , ch.line_number line_number
     , ch.transaction_amount transaction_amount
     , ch.split_pct||'%' split_percentage
     , jrs.NAME resource_name
     , jrr.resource_number resource_number
     , ch.processed_date processed_date
     , cq.NAME quota_name
     , ch.attribute34 transaction_type
     , ch.attribute35 order_type
     , ch.attribute51 product_line
     , ch.attribute54 city
     , ch.attribute55 state
     , ch.attribute56 district
     , ch.attribute57 area
     , ch.attribute61 salesrep_number
     , ch.attribute62 region
     , ch.attribute64 sales_org
     , ch.attribute68 terr_order_type
     , ch.attribute58 market_indicator
     FROM cn_commission_lines_all cl
     , cn_commission_headers_all ch
     , cn_quotas_all cq
     , jtf_rs_salesreps jrs
     , jtf_rs_resource_extns jrr
     WHERE cl.direct_salesrep_id = cl.credited_salesrep_id
     AND cl.commission_header_id = ch.commission_header_id
     AND cl.quota_id = cq.quota_id
     AND ch.direct_salesrep_id = jrs.salesrep_id
     AND jrr.resource_id = jrs.resource_id
     AND (NVL(ch.source_doc_type,'X') = 'EVEREST' OR NVL(ch.source_doc_type,'X') = 'SAP')
AND (NVL(ch.attribute50,'X') = 'EMG' OR NVL(ch.attribute50,'X') = 'LSCA')
I have 3 query parameters business_group, source_doc_type and sales order number.
The results region should look like,
Header region with order_number,order_detail,sold_to,business_group and the source_doc_type columns.
The remaining fields go into the details region.
Highly appreciate if anyone could help me on this.
Regards,

Hi,
When I have a messagestyle layout for my header, I am not able to find the items in this region for the querycriteriamap. I need to populate the header region with values entered in the search region.
For example: I create the OrderNumber messagestyledtext item in the messagecomponent layout of the header region. In simplesearchmappings, for the querycriteriamap, I am not able to find this item in the drop down for Results Item property.
Please help me to understand.

Use of NVL, Is it correct or wrong

Hi,
I've doubt regarding the use of NVL in SQL query,
Eg.
for query :
SELECT *
FROM NBS_POLICY_MST
WHERE ORG_POLICY_ID = NVL(:p1,ORG_POLICY_ID);
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)|
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 2084 | 439K| 33 (4)|
| 1 | CONCATENATION | | | | |
| 2 | FILTER | | | | |
| 3 | TABLE ACCESS FULL | NBS_POLICY_MST | 2083 | 439K| 30 (4)|
| 4 | FILTER | | | | |
| 5 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| NBS_POLICY_MST | 1 | 216 | 3 (0)|
| 6 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | IDXPT_NMP_TRAIL | 1 | | 2 (0)|
In above plan there is an FTS
but if I convert the query to
SELECT *
FROM NBS_POLICY_MST
WHERE POLICY_ID = :p1 or :p1 is null;
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)|
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 105 | 22680 | 29 (0)|
| 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| NBS_POLICY_MST | 105 | 22680 | 29 (0)|
the plan table output cost decreased little.
Can anyone help me in the above query which one is the best practice and why and
for the other one why it is consuming more memory
If possible provide a comprehensive description for my above doubt,
thanks in advance

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------here the problem comes when org_policy_id is a nullable field. what if both org_policy_id is null and : p is null. It will not be matched.
Hence i guess oracle does perdicate like this.
(:p is null and org_policy_id is not null) or (:p is not null and org_policy_id = :p)
SELECT *
FROM    NBS_POLICY_MST
WHERE   POLICY_ID   = :p1 or :p1 is null;
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
| Id | Operation         | Name           | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)|
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT |                |   105 | 22680 |    29   (0)|
|   1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| NBS_POLICY_MST |   105 | 22680 |    29   (0)|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------I guess this is the correct way to do it and not NVL.

Need help in forming a query

Hi All,
I have a table with the following data:
col1 co2 col3
1 A 5
2 B 3
3 C 3
4 A 2
5 A 5
6 D 2
7 C 1
8 C 6
9 A 7
I will explain my requirement by considering above data.
1) I want to get the sum of col3 values.
2) I should consider only the rows which are in between "A" and "C" - (here A & C are referring to col2 values).
(i.e,
1 A 5
2 B 3
3 C 3
5 A 5
6 D 2
7 C 1
) - If there are multiple A-C combination then consider only the innermost.
3) from the above set i should get the sum of col3 values by considering only the values of last A-C combination rows.
(i.e,
5 A 5
6 D 2
7 C 1
final sum is: *5+2+1 = 8*
result is 8
If no such A-C combination is present then i should get "0" as the sum.
Please help me..
I have Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0 - 64bit Production
Thanks,
Girish G

Oh, and to cater for there being no A to C in the data returning 0, just wrap the result in an NVL statement...
