Oracle order by cluase on null and identical column values

Can anybody please help me to understand the below things. Thanks in advance.
1. How will be the row ordering when the ORDER BY column contains null values for all the records
2. How will be the row ordering if all the records catains the same values (for the column which is used in order by clause)
3. Whether index is having any impact in the ordering - (mainly in the case of above scenarios)
4. Whether any other db objects will have impact on ordering
Thanks again.
Regards,
Shine

Without an order_by_clause, no guarantee exists that the same query executed more than once will retrieve rows in the same order.

2. How will be the row ordering if all the records catains the same values (for the column which is used in order by clause)Same answer as 1.
3. Whether index is having any impact in the ordering - (mainly in the case of above scenarios)It might.
4. Whether any other db objects will have impact on orderingThey might.

Popup Key LOV, NULL and "Invalid numeric value undefined for column"

Hello.
I've created an item based on database column of NUMBER type and set the following properties:
Display As = Popup Key LOV (Displays description, returns key value)
List of values definition=select 'display_value' d, 1 r from dual
Null display value=%
Null return value=
Display Null=Yes
When I select "%" in the LOV and try to apply changes to database I get error:
ORA-20001: Error in DML: p_rowid=1781, p_alt_rowid=N1, p_rowid2=, p_alt_rowid2=. ORA-20001: Invalid numeric value undefined for column N2
Error Unable to process row of table TTT.
If I set Display As = Select List, all works fine. But I need Popup Key LOV.
Could anybody help me?
I use Application Express 2.2.1.00.04

Hi all,
I did my homework and solved this issue. First I would like to thank Patrick Wolf for the invaluable help he gives out on thread Re: Null value handling in LOVs The code presented here is just a minor edit to his code, but an essential one when dealing with Popup Key LOV items.
Here's what I did:
1. Create an Application Process.
Name: RemoveNulls
Sequence: 0
Point: On Submit: After Page Submission - Before Computations and Validations
Process Text:
BEGIN
    FOR rItem IN
      ( SELECT ITEM_NAME
          FROM APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_ITEMS
         WHERE APPLICATION_ID   = TO_NUMBER(:APP_ID)
           AND PAGE_ID          IN (TO_NUMBER(:APP_PAGE_ID), 0)
           AND LOV_DISPLAY_NULL = 'Yes'
           AND LOV_DEFINITION   IS NOT NULL
           AND LOV_NULL_VALUE   IS NULL
    LOOP
        IF (V(rItem.ITEM_NAME) = '%null' || '%' OR V(rItem.ITEM_NAME) = 'undefined')
        THEN
            Apex_Util.set_session_state(rItem.ITEM_NAME, NULL);
        END IF;
    END LOOP;
END;Error Message: #SQLERRM#Condition: None
2. You should be able to submit a Popup Key LOV with a NULL value now.
Once again, THANKS, Patrick! You rock! I'm seriously thinking of trying ApexLib now :)

Purchase order report with basic price and Excise duty values

Hi All,
Is there any standard report in SAP to get the Purchase order basic price / qty and its Excise duty values ? Since we are including Excise duties for non - codified items (w/o material master and with cost center 'K') Purchase order and the ed values are added to the cost and the requirement is to see the split up (Basic priceEdEcs+Hcs)for these Purchase orders for the vendors. If there is no std report then please let me know how to link Purchase order table with this Condition value table in query to get the desired report.
Thanks in advance
Benny

Hi,
there is no standert report to fullfill this requierment
you have to create this report with the help of abaer
for that which tax code you are using its importnat thing
for po table EKPO
1. A524 (Normal supply point / Material) it will return condition record number for condition type.
2. KONP (Conditions (Item)) .
3. J_1IMTCHID (Combination of Material Number and Chapter ID).
4. J_1IEXCTAX (Tax calc. - Excise tax rates
5 get the IR no. from RBKP and RSEG, and get the relevant FI doc no. and goto BSET table
for IR number to get from table apply logic for doc type RE ,you will get fi number nad in refernce field you will get invoice number + fiscal year
Map this by refernig on po for which grn and invoice happen

Reading lock and pk column values

Hi!
I was wondering whether it is possible to somehow read the value a
persistent object has for its lock column (JDOLOCKX by default) and pk
column (with datastore identity, JDOIDX by default).
Especially reading the lock would be useful. My specific problem is this:
in J2EE environment when a persistent object is serialized and given to the
web (or any other ui-) layer to display, its identity is lost. There are
nice examples for solving this problem in the documentation so this is not
an issue. However, there is no easy way to determine whether someone else
changed the same data while it was being watched (and modified) on the web
page. So, in essence, this is an optimistic transaction. However, to use
optimistic transactions one would have to use stateful session beans. And
if I am correct, an optimistic transaction has to have a live persistence
manager all the time, so this is not acceptable unless the
persistencemanager releses its sql connection in between calls. I don't
think it does, or does it? And anyhow, I'd prefer using stateless session
beans.
It would be quite easy to implement some sort of timestamp mechanism by
inserting a persistent field for it and updating its value by using
InstanceCallback interface. However, as the JDOLOCKX column already exists
it would be nice not to reinvent the wheel.
The pk value I would need in case the same db is used by many apps (not
all in Java) and they need to communicate some information about a specific
object stored in the db (in which case it would be easiest to give the pk
value to identify an object). Again, I could use ApplicationIdentity or
make some field where to store some unique value, but I'd prefer using the
pk value since it is already there (and would not like to use Application
Identity just because of this).
Any other solutions to the above problems besides being able to read the
JDOIDX and JDOLOCKX values are welcome, too.

You can either parse the toString () generated from
JDOHelper.getObjectId () or cast it to ObjectIds.Id (in 2.5.x) or Id (in
3.0) to get the pk value.
You can also retrieve the lock version in the same fashion.
In Kodo 3:
KodoHelper.getVersion (yourPC).
In Kodo 2.5.x:
((PersistenceManagerImpl) pm).getState (JDOHelper.getObjectId
(yourPC)).getVersion ();

This functionality is a preview of a proposed JDO 2.0 feature, and is
targeted at exactly the use case that you've described.Yes, it definitely looks nice. One thing it does not mention, though:
is the String stored in the detached-objectid-field just the (string
version of the) primary key or is there something else there?
And what about a case where I do not want a detachable instance, just
want to be able to have the primary key value?
And I take it there is no way to read these values (lock and pk) in the
present version of Kodo?

User defined function to check the NULL and 0.00 value in a Amount field

Hi Experts,
I have one scenario in which i have amount field in Data type.
I have to create one UDF which will do the following thing.
1. If the amount field is Null it should throw an exception in mapping.
2.If the amount field is 0.00 it should throw an exception in mapping.
3. For all other cases it should pass the amount value to the target.
Can anyone provide me the code For this UDF.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can add this logic to the UDF. Here var1 is the input string.
java.math.BigDecimal b=new java.math.BigDecimal(var1);
if(b.compareTo(new java.math.BigDecimal("0.00"))<=0)
//write your logic for values less equal to zero
One small request, if you think your question has been answered, properly and correctly, could you please kindly if possible close down this thread. It helps people who look for solutions to similar problem.

Query with nulls and multiple columns

I need help with structuring a query. I have the following table:
REGION |     AREA
1     | A
1     |      B
1     |      C
1     |      D

I need to get the results:

(null)     | A
(null)     |      B
(null)     |      C
2     |      (null)
So really - all the regions that have a null "AREA" and all the Areas with a null "REGION" that are unique. I can do this with two separate statements but I'd like to be able to do it in one query if possible.

Get Min value and another column value from the same row

hi all - for each customer and product, I need to grab the row that has the min value for field Value1. I could've just done group by on customer and product and min on Value1, but I also need to grab Vlaue2 from the same row where the minimum value for
Value1 lies.
DECLARE @Temp TABLE (CustomerID INT, ProductID VARCHAR(10), Trans_Date Date, Value1 INT, Value2 INT)
INSERT INTO @Temp VALUES (123, 'ABC', '1/1/2013', 10, 100)
INSERT INTO @Temp VALUES (456, 'ASD', '1/1/2013', 40, 500)
INSERT INTO @Temp VALUES (456, 'ASD', '2/1/2013', 90, 700)
INSERT INTO @Temp VALUES (123, 'ABC', '2/1/2013', 20, 700)
SELECT * FROM @Temp
The output should be
123, ABC, 10, 100
456, ASD, 40, 500
I know that I can just join the table to itself and get the desired output but I am dealing with a table that has millions of rows and I was hoping there is more efficient way to do this. any help would be highly appreciated...

Here is a correction on your DDL to make it into nearly valid table.
CREATE TABLE Sales
(customer_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
product_id CHAR(10) NOT NULL,
transaction_date DATE NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (customer_id, product_id, transaction_date),
value1 INTEGER NOT NULL,
value2 INTEGER NOT NULL);
Here is the current syntax for insertion:
INSERT INTO Sales
VALUES (123, 'abc', '2013-01-01', 10, 100),
(456, 'asd', '2013-01-01', 40, 500),
(456, 'asd', '2013-02-01', 90, 700),
(123, 'abc', '2013-02-01', 20, 700);
WITH
X
AS
(SELECT customer_id, product_id, transaction_date, value1, value2,
MIN(value1) OVER () AS value1_min
FROM Sales)
SELECT X.*
FROM X
WHERE X.value1_min = X.value1;

Reset Identity Column Value in SQL Server depending on whats being inserted

I have a SQL Server 2008 database with a table that has an ID field that has an identity increment and seed of 1.
This work great as each new record created automatically gets a new and distinct number.
Now when I insert certain new records I need to be able to make that value start at 10001 and then the next would be 10002 etc.
But this is only for certain inserts.
Is there a way to control the identity seed & increment on the fly via a query maybe?
So some inserts would follow 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 depending on whats being inserted
and others would follow 10001,10002,10003 depending on whats being inserted.
is this possible?

Make it a different field. Don't mess with your PK.
Make sure you have a plan for when you get 10000 records in this table.

Avoiding null and duplicate values using model clause

Hi,
I am trying to use model clause to get comma seperated list of data : following is the scenario:
testuser>select * from test1;
ID VALUE
1 Value1
2 Value2
3 Value3
4 Value4
5 Value4
6
7 value5
8
8 rows selected.
the query I have is:
testuser>with src as (
2 select distinct id,value
3 from test1
4 ),
5 t as (
6 select distinct substr(value,2) value
7 from src
8 model
9 ignore nav
10 dimension by (id)
11 measures (cast(value as varchar2(100)) value)
12 rules
13 (
14 value[any] order by id =
15 value[cv()-1] || ',' || value[cv()]
16 )
17 )
18 select max(value) oneline
19 from t;
ONELINE
Value1,Value2,Value3,Value4,Value4,,value5,
what I find is that this query has duplicate value and null (',,') coming in as data has null and duplicate value. Is there a way i can avoid the null and the duplicate values in the query output?
thanks,

Nulls and Empty Strings

I have an ODBC application whose backend has been changed from Access to Oracle. There is one particular query that is causing problems. The query contains a where clause with something like "field = ''" in it. This query is intended to pick up records where field is null. If the query was modified to "field is null," it would work. However, I cannot change the application.
Is there any way to configure the ODBC driver or something so that this query would work properly? I've tried defaulting the field to '', but Oracle is still treating it as null.
(What is really frustrating is that the application NEVER populates this field!)

Actually, Oracle is very consistent in that it requires you to use ternary logic when dealing with null values. NULL is never equal to a value, NULL is never not equal to a value.
select * from someTable where column <> 'value'
will show you only those rows in someTable where column is non-NULL and where its value is not 'value'
select count(*) from someTable !=
select count(*) from someTable where column <> 'value' +
select count(*) from someTable where column = 'value'
select count(*) from someTable =
select count(*) from someTable where column <> 'value' +
select count(*) from someTable where column = 'value' +
select count(*) from someTable where column IS NULL
There are plenty of discussions in Oracle texts and in Oracle newsgroups that go into much greater detail about the how's & why's of this.

We use Order Fulfillment now and are concern we will lose the profile functionality when and if we upgrade.

OPM Order Fulfillment is a simple to use Order Entry and Shipping application that meets the needs of many process manufacturers.
Oracle Order Management is more flexible and configurable to suit a number of different industries. Oracle Process Manufacturing is integrated
to Order Management and has functionality to support entry of order quantities in two units of measure, as well as designation
of a preferred quality grade and automatic allocation of process inventory.
In place of the Order Profile (or order template) functionality available in Order Fulfillment, we recommend using the Copy Order
functionality in Order Management. You can establish a special order type in Order Management (you can call it Template or
Profile) and assign a workflow to the order type that makes it "non-transactable" (the order stays in an "entered" state so that
it can't be booked or shipped). You can query on these special order types and copy them to create standard orders. When you
copy an order in Order Management, you can change the order type, so the Template order can be copied and the new order
type can be "Standard".

Identity Column in SQL Server 2000

I am working on SBO Version 2004a.
I created <b>Identity Column</b> in User Defined Table and made the entries for this Table and its columns in Sap Business One OUTB and CUFD tables respectivily.
I use this identity column to populate the Code and name fields automatically using Insert triggers.
I add 10 records to the table and now delete the 5th record. The Identity column and the code field will contain values as (1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10)
Now on Upgrading the patch level( SAP Business One 2004A (6.70.190) SP: 00 PL: 36), the Identity column is converted to simple INT column and no Identity column property is attached to it.
There is no T-SQL in SQL 2000 to convert an existing column to Identity Column hence I can not convert it back to Identity Column.
The Only Solution is to drop the column and re-create it as an Identity Column.
If I do so, the Identity column is polulated for all the rows starting from 1 to 9 (seed is 1).
Now on adding the next record, the primary key voilation occurs on the Code field since the next available Identity column value is 10 but this value is already used in 9th record.
<b>Is there any way so that the patch do not change the definition of the User defined tables and their columns.</b>
Thanks

Hi Vishal,
I agree with Harold. It's against SAP's support policy to allow anyone to change SBO table definitions in any way. Other SQL objects such as stored procedures or triggers will probably be unaffected by an upgrade but it is highly likely that changes to tables will be reverted and may even cause the upgrade to fail.
There is one other possible solution, depending on how you are using the table. It is to create your own table in SQL, i.e. a table in the SBO company database but which is not a user-defined table. SBO itself will be totally unaware of the table but you could read and write to it via code (if you have written an add-on).
Kind Regards,
Owen
