OCM query

after doing OCP ,
does Oracle Certified Rac professional , dataguard certification both would be eligible for OCM?
all in 10g

I don't know who 'they' are in this context. If a vendor is truly a member of the WDP, then taking a course from them will count towards the required training.
Oracle university only authorizes WDP providers to deliver specific authorized courses that count towards Oracle Certification under the WDP program.
For practical purposes I believe these are currently (probably) the 10g/11g DBA Admin I and 10g/11g DBA admin II.
( Quite frankly IMHO Oracle WDP are EXTREMELY disfunctional, elusive, unprofessional, incompetent, unethical and possibly abbetting fraudulency in providing clear unambiguous verifiable information as to what they are about .... and I would dearly love them to get act together and prove my IMHO wrong ... but given the currenyt state of forum I believe I am entitled to my opinion ).
Anyway back to the subject.
The is nothing to stop a WDP provider offering RAC training (and perhaps even excellent training ) ... however it would not be seen by Oracle Certification as being a course authorized and valid for certification purposes. ( Additional anyWP so providing would have to ensure no license or copyright breaches ... but this isn;t really the students problem )
Please note it is possible a few providers as well as being WDP providers are also authorized partners. In this circumstance they may be authorized by Oracle University to deliver the Oracle clusterware/RAC courses provided by Oracle University and if so Oracle certification will recognise the training.
( See http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=112 )
The problem for the student is to be certain the training being offered (especially when not direct from Oracle University) is valid for Oracle Certification course requirement purposes (if that is what they need).
Your WDP institute IMHO have been helpful here that while they may be able to offer some RAC training it would (with almost 100% certainly) not be an authorized course for certification purposes.
To some extent if you start asking about OCM certification then I would have expected the OCM candidate to have thoroughly reseached the website and planned the forward path first, and have evaluated the likely versions Oracle will be providing for OCM at that course. If you are not beginning to think that way and confidently working out most things for oneself then you are not thinking and researching like an OCM !
However, as I've already indicated (and Brandye has seconded), even if you are a 10G OCP and take two approved courses, scheduling the test to become a 10G OCM is going to be difficult. I expect this to get worse when 12C comes out.

SQL Query to detect Oracle version

Hello,
For our application, we need to programmatically detect the version of the Oracle instance. Can someone please tell me if there is any SQL query I can run to get the version information?
Thank you in advance for enlightening me.

OCM exam issue

Moderators,
I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask my query but i have searched extensively on oracle website but didn't get any information on that.My query is
I was in talks with oracle executive for the past one month and finally booked my OCM 10g exam in India for 25th and 26th of October 2010.I didn't get any confirmation from oracle regarding the booking of exam till today 22nd of October 2010.I was given a confirmed date of exam by executive. The exam is in some other city and i have to take a flight to reach there.The oracle executive who took the payment from me is not picking up the phone nor replying my phone calls for the past 1 week.I called another executive at the local oracle office. He confirmed that such exam is not being conducted on 25th and 26th.The oracle executive knows my cell phone number and is not picking up my calls. When i called from some other number, she picked up the call and started giving me excuses. At the last hour, i have to cancel my flight. I can't say how much mental tension and harassment i have received apart from financial loss. I am shocked that these kind of people do exist in sales department of a renowned company.The sales executive didn't bother to book the exam even after taking exam fee but confirmed me the dates.I was not even given the 2nd point of escalation to discuss this issue.I have all the mail communication with the oracle executive and want to escalate this issue. Could anyone please let me know the department within oracle that looks into this kind of issues?
Thanks
Rishi

Edited by: user11970591 on Oct 22, 2010 4:38 AM- Please be aware i suspect there is high risk you may have been the victim of fraud of some bad people pretending to be from Oracle.
- As in most countries, but perhaps particularly in India and some other countries, there exist a small number of dishonourable individuals who will happily part people from their money and not give the required service in return.
I would not advise putting full details on the forum , but if you get no satisfaction from the previous email address for oracle education india (give them chance to respond .. and remember it is the weekend ) ... then write full dates and phone numbers in an email to the ocpfraud_ww@oracle cc'd to [email protected] just in case there is an extreme case of incompetence or fraud going on.
- However some aspects of your post do worry me ..... for example if i was booking an Oracle OCM exam .... (which i cant 'cos i've not attended pre-req courses and i'd fail the thing anyway) .... i somehow wouldn't expect to be talking to an Oracle executive about it. I would also wonder why you've just needed to register with OTN yesterday ... there can be good reasons for this ..... but for an OCM candidate it is high probability indicator that something is wrong.

WRITING A GENERAL qUERY

Hi
I want to write a query which takes a argument such as a number n.
The query is used to get any nth largest number from a table.
I could write it for only one say getting the second largest number. I wrote it as:
A= Select * from Emp where sal !=(select max(sal) from Emp);
select max(sal) from A;
It is very complex to make this query a General one.
Can any body suggest an idea.
thanks

select ename, sal from (select row_number() over (order by sal desc) r, ename, sal from emp) where r=&n;
Enter value for n: 5
ENAME SAL
BLAKE 2850
Please read the documentation about the differences between rank(), dense_rank() and rownumber()

Error while running a query-Input for variable 'Posting Period is invalid

Hi All,
NOTE: This error is only cropping up when I input 12 in the posting period variable selection. If I put in any other value from 1-11 I am not getting any errors. Any ideas why this might be happening?
I am getting the following error when I try and run a query - "Input for variable 'Posting Period (Single entry, mandatory)' is invalid" - On further clicking on this error the message displayed is as follows -
Diagnosis
Variable Posting Period (Single Value Entry, Mandatory) is used as a lower limit (X) and an upper limit () in an interval selection. This limit has the value #.
System Response
Procedure
Enter a different value for variable Posting Period (Single Value Entry, Mandatory). If the value of the other limit is determined by another variable, you can change its value also.
Procedure for System Administration

OK.
Well, if the variable is not used in any interval selection, then I would say "something happened to it".
I would make a copy of the query and run it to check if I get the same problem with period 12.
   -> If not, something is wrong in the original query (you can proceed as below, if changes to original are permitted).
If so, then try removing the variable completely from the query and hardcode restriction to 12.
   -> If problem still persists, I would have to do some thinking.
If problem is gone, then add the variable again. Check.
   -> If problem is back, then the variable "is sick". Only quick thing to do, is to build an identical variable and use that one.
If problem also happens with the new variable, then it's time to share this experience with someone else and consider raising an OSS.
Good luck!

Logical database in adhoc query

Hello All,
Can anyone tell me what is the logical database in adhoc query?

Hi
When you create a query , you have to select an infoset. Infoset can be considered as a source from which data is populated in the Query Fields.
Infosets are created from Transaction SQ02.
There can be four methods through which an Infoset can become a source of data:
1. Table join ( By joining two or more tables from Data dictionary)
example: Joining tables PA0001 and PA0006 on Pernr to get a one resultant dataset
2. Direct read of Basis Table ( Like PA0001 as a source for data in Infoset )
3. Logical Database ( A Pre-written Program by SAP that extract data from clusters, tables taking care of authorizations and validity periods)
Example : Logical database PNP, PNPCE (Concurrent Employement),PCH ( LDB for Personnel Development Data)
Custom Logical DBs can be created in T_Code SE-36.
4. Data Retrieval by a Program ( Custom code written by ABAP developers which will collect and process data) . This program has a corresponding Structure in data dictionary and the fields of this structure will be used in query)
Reward Points, if helpful.

Waseem Imran

I think my problem is in my where clause, I plagerized an SAP query to show GR and AP from a PO as a start. SBO 2005 SP01. Any help would be great appreciated. Thanks
SELECT distinct 'GR',
D0.DocStatus,
D0.DocNum ,
D0.DocDate,
D0.DocDueDate,
D0.DocTotal,
'AP',
I0.DocStatus,
I0.DocNum ,
I0.DocDate,
I0.DocDueDate,
I0.DocTotal,
I0.PaidToDate
FROM
((OPDN D0 inner Join PDN1 D1 on D0.DocEntry = D1.DocEntry)
full outer join
(OPCH I0 inner join PCH1 I1 on I0.DocEntry = I1.DocEntry)
on (I1.BaseType=20 AND D1.DocEntry = I1.BaseEntry AND D1.LineNum=I1.BaseLine))
WHERE
(D1.BaseType=22 AND D1.DocDate>='[%0]' AND D1.DocDate<='[%1]')
OR (I1.BaseType=20 AND I1.BaseEntry IN
(SELECT Distinct DocEntry
FROM PDN1 WHERE BaseType=22 AND DocDate>='[%0]' AND DocDate<='[%1]'))

Hi Dalen ,
I believe it is because of the condition
(D1.BaseType=22 AND D1.DocDate>='%0' AND D1.DocDate<='%1')
OR (I1.BaseType=20 AND I1.BaseEntry IN
(SELECT Distinct DocEntry FROM PDN1 WHERE PDN1.BaseType=22 AND DocDate>='%0' AND DocDate<='%1'))
Try changing
D1.BaseType=22 OR D1.DocDate>='%0' AND D1.DocDate<='%1
PDN1.BaseType=22 OR DocDate>='%0' AND DocDate<='%1'))
Lets see what would be the result . Lets have some fun with troubleshooting
See what would be the difference in the result .
Thank you

Can you check for data in one table or another but not both in one query?

I have a situation where I need to link two tables together but the data may be in another (archive) table or different records are in both but I want the latest record from either table:
ACCOUNT
AccountID     Name
123               John Doe
124               Jane Donaldson
125               Harold Douglas
MARKETER_ACCOUNT
Key     AccountID     Marketer    StartDate     EndDate
1001     123               10526          8/3/2008     9/27/2009
1017     123               10987          9/28/2009     12/31/4712    (high date ~ which means currently with this marketer)
1023     124               10541          12/03/2010     12/31/4712
ARCHIVE
Key     AccountID     Marketer    StartDate     EndDate
1015     124               10526          8/3/2008     12/02/2010
1033     125               10987         01/01/2011     01/31/2012
So my query needs to return the following:
123     John Doe                        10526     8/3/2008     9/27/2009
124     Jane Donaldson             10541     12/03/2010     12/31/4712     (this is the later of the two records for this account between archive and marketer_account tables)
125     Harold Douglas               10987          01/01/2011     01/31/2012     (he is only in archive, so get this record)
I'm unsure how to proceed in one query. Note that I am reading in possibly multiple accounts at a time and returning a collection back to .net
open CURSOR_ACCT
          select AccountID
          from
                 ACCOUNT A,
                 MARKETER_ACCOUNT M,
                 ARCHIVE R
           where A.AccountID = nvl((select max(M.EndDate) from Marketer_account M2
                                                where M2.AccountID = A.AccountID),
                                                  (select max(R.EndDate) from Archive R2
                                                where R2.AccountID = A.AccountID)
               and upper(A.Name) like parameter || '%'
<can you do a NVL like this?   probably not...   I want to be able to get the MAX record for that account off the MarketerACcount table OR the max record for that account off the Archive table, but not both>
(parameter could be "DO", so I return all names starting with DO...)

if I understand your description I would assume that for John Dow we would expect the second row from marketer_account ("high date ~ which means currently with this marketer"). Here is a solution with analytic functions:
drop table account;
drop table marketer_account;
drop table marketer_account_archive;
create table account (
    id number
, name varchar2(20)
insert into account values (123, 'John Doe');
insert into account values (124, 'Jane Donaldson');
insert into account values (125, 'Harold Douglas');
create table marketer_account (
    key number
, AccountId number
, MktKey number
, FromDt date
, ToDate date
insert into marketer_account values (1001, 123, 10526, to_date('03.08.2008', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('27.09.2009', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
insert into marketer_account values (1017, 123, 10987, to_date('28.09.2009', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('31.12.4712', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
insert into marketer_account values (1023, 124, 10541, to_date('03.12.2010', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('31.12.4712', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
create table marketer_account_archive (
    key number
, AccountId number
, MktKey number
, FromDt date
, ToDate date
insert into marketer_account_archive values (1015, 124, 10526, to_date('03.08.2008', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('02.12.2010', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
insert into marketer_account_archive values (1033, 125, 10987, to_date('01.01.2011', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('31.01.2012', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate
     , max(FromDt) over(partition by AccountId) max_FromDt
from marketer_account
union all
select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate
     , max(FromDt) over(partition by AccountId) max_FromDt
from marketer_account_archive;
with
basedata as (

from basedata
filtered_basedata as (
select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate from basedata_with_max_intervals where FromDt_Rank = 1
select a.id
     , a.name
     , b.MktKey
     , b.FromDt
     , b.ToDate
from account a
join filtered_basedata b
    on (a.id = b.AccountId)
ID NAME                     MKTKEY FROMDT     TODATE
123 John Doe                  10987 28.09.2009 31.12.4712
124 Jane Donaldson            10541 03.12.2010 31.12.4712
125 Harold Douglas            10987 01.01.2011 31.01.2012
If your tables are big it could be necessary to do the filtering (according to your condition) in an early step (the first CTE).

Query help : Query to get values SYSDATE-1 18:00 hrs to SYSDATE 08:00 hrs

Hi Team
I want the SQl query to get the data for the following comparison : -
Order Created is a Date Column , and i want to find out all the values from (SYSDATE-1) 18:00 hours to SYSDATE 08:00 hours
i.e.
(SYSDATE-1) 18:00:00 < Order.Created < SYSDATE 08:00:00.
Regards

If i want the data in the below way i.e.
from (SYSDATE-1) 18:00 hours to SYSDATE 17:59 hours ---> (SYSDATE-1) 18:00:00 < Order.Created < SYSDATE 07:59:00.If you want to include rows from exactly 18:00:00 yesterday (but no earlier), and exclude rows from exatly 08:00:00 today (or later), then use:
WHERE   ord_dtl.submit_dt >= TRUNC (SYSDATE) - (6 / 24)
AND     ord_dtl.submit_dt < TRUNC (SYSDATE) + (8 / 24)
So can i use the below format : -
ord_dtl.submit_dt BETWEEN trunc(sysdate)-(6/24) and trunc(sysdate)+(7.59/24) . Please suggest . .59 hours is .59 * 60 * 60 = 2124 seconds (or .59 * 60 = 35.4 minutes), so the last time included in the range above is 07:35:24, not 07:59:59.
If you really, really want to use BETWEEN (which includes both end points), then you could do it with date arithmentic:
WHERE   ord_dtl.submit_dt BETWEEN TRUNC (SYSDATE) - (6 / 24)
                  AND         TRUNC (SYSDATE) + (8 / 24)
                                           - (1 / (24 * 60 * 60))but it would be simpler and less error prone to use INTERVALs, as Karthick suggested earlier:
WHERE   ord_dtl.submit_dt BETWEEN TRUNC (SYSDATE) - INTERVAL '6' HOUR
                  AND         TRUNC (SYSDATE) + INTERVAL '8' HOUR
                                           - INTERVAL '1' SECONDEdited by: Frank Kulash on Apr 17, 2013 9:36 AM

Query help, subtract two query parts

Hi,
I am beginner of PL/SQL and have a problem I couldn’t solve:
Table (op_list):
Item     -     Amount -     Status
Item1     -     10     -     in
Item2     -     12     -     in
Item3     -     7     -     in
Item1     -     2     -     out
Item2     -     3     -     out
Item1     -     1     -     dmg
Item3     -     3     -     out
Item1     -     2     -     out
Item2     -     5     -     out
Item2     -     2     -     in
Item3     -     1     -     exp
Would like to get result of query (subtract amount of 'out/dmg/exp' from 'in' ):
Item - Amount left
Item1     -     5
Item2     -     6
Item3 -     3
I wrote code that returns sum of all incoming items and sum all out/dmg/exp items, but couldn’t solve how to subtract one part of querry from another. Or maybe there is a better way. Also worried what happens if there is no 'out/dmg/exp' only 'in'
select item.name, sum(op_list.item_amount)
from op_list
inner join item
on op_list.item = item.item_id
where op_list.status = 'in'
group by item.name
union
select item.name, sum(op_list.item_amount)
from op_list
inner join item
on op_list.item = item.item_id
where op_list.status = 'out'
or op_list.status = 'dmg'
or op_list.status = 'exp'
group by item.name
Return:
Item1     -     10      [10 in]
Item1     -     5     [2+1+2]
Item2     -     14     [12+2]
Item3     -     7
Item3     -     4     [3+1]
Thanks in advance

Hi,
We can also use simple inline views to get what we need.
select a.item,a.amount-b.amount Balance from
(select item,sum(amount) Amount from op_list
where status = 'in'
group by item) a,
(select item,sum(amount) Amount from op_list
where status in ('out','dmg','exp')
group by item) b
where
a.item=b.item
order by item;
ITEM       BALANCE
Item1                      5
Item2                      6
Item3                      3Regards,
Prazy

Query help: query to return column that represents multiple rows

I have a table with a name and location column. The same name can occur multiple times with any arbitrary location, i.e. duplicates are allowed.
I need a query to find all names that occur in both of two separate locations.
For example,
bob usa
bob mexico
dot mexico
dot europe
hal usa
hal europe
sal usa
sal mexico
The query in question, if given the locations usa and mexico, would return bob and sal.
Thanks for any help or advice,

How about this?
SELECT NAME

WHERE   LOCATION IN ('usa','mexico')
GROUP BY NAME
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT LOCATION) >= 2Results:

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.
