  • Order by clause  based on parameter value

    hi,
    i am using reports 6i with 10 g db
    I have to create a report sorted in order of four fields. there is a parameter for selecting which field should come first in order by clause.
    ie the user has provision to view the report in selected sorted order
    suppose the four fields are emp_id, name, dept_id, desig .
    if the user select dept_id , then the order by clause should be in order of dept_id,emp_id,name,desig
    Please help to solve this scenario.
    Thanks

    Hi Rinz,
    Use the query as follows :
    select column_name1, column_name1, ....
    from  table_name
    &order_by_clauseNow in the AFTER-PARAMETER-FORM trigger set the order by clause as below depending upon requirements :
    if :sort_column = dept_id then
      :order_by_clause := 'order by dept_id,emp_id,name,desig';
    else
      :order_by_clause := 'order by emp_id, dept_id, name,desig';
    end if;
    Here sort_column is User parameter which will be selected by user, provide list of Values for it.
    Hope this helps
    Best Regards
    Arif Khadas

    1. one supplier 1person raised by 1PR submit
    No Action
    Approve

  • Slow SQL output when table alias is NOT used in order by clause

    Hi guys,
    My query is based on Oracle 9208
    I have a table TAB1 with 68000 records with transaction_id as the primary key in this table (unique index).
    I have another TAB2 with the same number of records again with transaction_id in this table (foreign key to above).
    I have the below query that gets executed via an application:-
    SELECT TO_CHAR(V1.TRANSACTION_ID), V1.POLICY_ID, V1.REQUEST_TYPE
    FROM <VIEW> V1 WHERE V1.CERT_SERIAL_NUM=56192 AND
    (V1.AUTH_GROUP_ID=0 OR V1.AUTH_GROUP_ID=1) AND ROWNUM <= 3 ORDER
    BY TRANSACTION_ID ASC
    The above view V1 is created as below:-
    CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW "V1"
    ("TRANSACTION_ID",
    "PARENT_TRANSACTION_ID",
    "CA_DN_ID",
    "AUTH_GROUP_ID",
    "POLICY_ID",
    "REQUEST_TYPE",
    "REQUEST_STATUS",
    "EE_DN_HASH",
    "EE_DN",
    "EE_EMAIL_HASH",
    "EE_EMAIL",
    "KEY_USAGE",
    "SMART_CARD_SERIAL",
    "CERT_TYPE",
    "CERT_SERIAL_NUM",
    "CERT_INDEX",
    "RENEWAL_FLAG",
    "ARCHIVE_FLAG",
    "TIME_RECEIVED",
    "DOWNLOADED",
    "REQUEST_DATA",
    "ACTION",
    "STEP_NUM")
    AS
    SELECT
    T1.transaction_id,
    T1.parent_transaction_id,
    T1.ca_dn_id,
    V2.auth_group_id,
    V2.policy_id,
    T1.request_type,
    T1.request_status,
    T2.ee_dn_hash,
    T2.ee_dn,
    T2.ee_email_hash,
    T2.ee_email,
    T2.key_usage,
    T2.smart_card_serial,
    T2.cert_type,
    T2.cert_serial_num,
    T2.cert_index,
    T2.renewal_flag,
    T2.archive_flag,
    T1.time_received,
    T1.downloaded,
    T1.request_data,
    V2.action,
    V2.step_num
    FROM TAB1
    <ANOTHER VIEW> V2,
    TAB2 T1,
    TAB2 T2
    WHERE
    T1.transaction_id = T2.transaction_id
    AND
    V2.policy_id = T1.policy_id
    order by transaction_id;
    The query at the top runs within milliseconds if the VIEW is created as :-
    order by t2.transaction_id
    But without the alias "t2" in the order by, the query takes about 1 1/2 minutes
    Can you tell me why? I thought if you ordering by primary key (lesser number of values compared to foreign key values), the query should be faster..no?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for keeping up with this issue Hemant.
    Here are the plans for each case.
    I would be very interested in how you'd recognize which plan is the best and what are the derivatives.
    I don't much (or rather anything!) what is 'card' values, 'cost' values etc which I believe are used to decide the best plan of the lot.
    Thanks again

  • Sorting character column ( used in order by clause dynamically)

    Hi,
    I need help on sorting character-based numbers. Like say, I want to sort customers based on street numbers(which is a character string being used in the
    order by clause) they live in.
    The criteria are :
    i. Numbers must take precedence.
    This being a character string, 1000001 comes before 2. This shouldn't happen. And you cannot use to_number
    since using it with a string having characters in it would raise an error.
    ii. If only a single alphabet occurs as the last character, then treat the whole string as a number except the last character and then sort it
    as if sorting a number. Something like : if you have 1000A, 200D, 200B, 1000X, the result would be 200B,200D,1000A,1000X.
    iii. if a character occurs elsewhere in the string, then perform the search normally as if performing a character search.
    The output of the following data :
    100
    A101
    B100A
    110C
    C120B
    120
    100020
    120C
    C1100
    100D
    would be like :
    100
    100D
    110C
    120
    120C
    100020
    A101
    B100A
    C120B
    C1100
    Please note that the sort is being done dynamically, so I could have access to the values of the street numbers only during run time.
    Any help is really appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Anil.

    Create a function to test whether the column is numeric :
    create FUNCTION is_numeric(v_number VARCHAR2)
    RETURN INTEGER
    IS
    l_number NUMBER;
    BEGIN
    IF INSTR(UPPER(v_number),'E') > 0 THEN
    RETURN 0;
    END IF;
    l_number := TO_NUMBER(v_number);
    RETURN 1;
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    RETURN 0;
    END;
    And try this query
    Assume the table name is TEST with column STREET
    select * from TEST
    order by case is_numeric(STREET) when 1 then LPAD(STREET,20, ' ') else STREET end
    Please make sure that 20 mentioned above is the column size for STREET.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can I use an expression in order by clause

    SELECT

    desc
    gl_periods is a table, period_name consists of values like oct-01_fy-01 etc and oct01_01_fy-01
    I want to sort on this column based on period_name, so I am trying to convert into number like for oct-01_fy-01, the query gives
    200110 and so on. the recent period comes first, But my question is I can't use the same to_number(.....) in the order by clause. oracle gives an error
    ORA-01843: not a valid month.
    Let me know whether anyone come across with this kind of situation

    If you are sure the expression is correct, since you are using it in the select clause, give an alias and use the alias in the order by clause.

  • Planned orders are not taking into account the processing time

    Hi,
    Could you please tell me why planned orders quantities are not based on processing time from the material master.
    Materials was set before with 1 day in house production , no matter of lot size.
    Based on routings I updated material master with processing time depending on lot size.
    What is bottering me now is that planned orders are not taking into account processing time. (e.g.  based on my processing time 1000 pce are produced  in 3 days, but planned orders show me that 1000 pce are still need  in 1 day , but it  can not be produced in 1 day   ).
    what did I miss?
    Thanks a lot for any information!

    Hello Simona
    The in house production time from tab MRP 2 is lot size independent.
    However, on tab work scheduling you can define a lot size dependent times.
    Please observe that, if you have entered an in house production time, the processing time will not be considered. The F1 help of the field provides the following explanation:
    You can define work scheduling times in the material master record in one of two ways:
    Either you enter the in-house production time. If required, you can get the system to update this value from the routing.
    Or you enter the setup, teardown, processing, and interoperation times. If you maintain these values, the system determines the in-house production time on the basis of lot size.
    Therefore, if you want to consider the processing time, you should remove the in house processing time.

  • Materialized view and Order by clause

    Hi all. I'd like to have some information regarding the order by clause used in a materialized view.
    I'm using Oracle 9.2 and Win2003 server. I have a common view (my_common_view) on which a materialized view is based (my_materialized_view). Materialized view is built for fast refresh and is created in this way:
    create materialized view my_materialized_view as
    select * from my_common_view
    order by 1,2,3;
    My question is: if I query this materialized view without adding an order by clause in the statement, I will obtain always an ordered result set? So, is it useful to include the order by clause in the materialized view script or the order by has to be include in the statement used for quering the materialized view (for example like this: select * from my_materialized view order by ...)?
    Thank you very much.
    Ste.

  • Select statement takes very long to run with order by clause.

    Hi all,
    I have a select statement which when I run without the order by clause takes arround 2 minutes to run. But with the order by clause it goes on for ever. I am trying to access the database server through a network which is not too fast.
    The select statement is based on 9 views which are again based on some views. It also has inline views and outer joins. These views and inline views can not be done away with.
    When selected without the order by clause it gives 3215 records.
    Anything like 2 to 3 minutes will be Ok.
    Thanks.

  • SQL Load ORDER BY clause

    Does anyone know how or where to enter the ORDER BY clause when using a SQL data source in a load rule? I would prefer to do the ordering in the load rule rather than creating a view on the DB side to do this if at all possible.
    According to the documentation "The SQL Statement box in the Open SQL Data Sources dialog box provides Select, From, and Where text boxes that help you write SQL queries. You can specify multiple data sources, filter the display of records, and specify how records displayed in Data Prep Editor are ordered and grouped." but I haven't found anywhere where you can order or group data. I don't need to be able group data I just want to be able to order my data to make the load process as efficient as possible.
    I do sort the data when inserting it into the load table but Oracle doesn't necessarily insert the records into the table based on their order when going in.
    We are currently on Essbase 11.1.1.3 and Oracle 11g.
    Any help is greatly apprecied.

    Well DUH! Everyone knows that! :-)
    Not sure why I never tried that, but it works. They need to update the documentation to say this, but we all know that will never happen.
    Thanks again!

  • Designer BC4J Generator Extension creates wrong order by clause

    Hi,
    Just tried out the new Designer BC4J Generator Extension and it creates a wrong order by clause. I have a List of values in Designer with one table usage. There is a bound item based on a columnname CODE and has the name L_CODE. The order by sequence is 1 and ascending. After generating it in JDeveloper the generated query is:
    SELECT PrjEntityUsage.CODE,
    PrjEntityUsage.NAAM
    FROM X_PROJECTEN PrjEntityUsage
    ORDER BY LCODE
    So there are two problems:
    1) If the name property in designer is different from the column name the select in the SQL query in JDeveloper needs an alias with the name property from Designer.
    2)If there is an _ in the name it is ignored in the order by clause in JDeveloper.
    I do not know where to report the bug so i placed it here.
    Regards,
    Andre Jochems

    Andre,
    Thanks for notifying us about these. There are indeed bugs which we have logged and scheduled for a fix.

  • Sorting technique used by oracle for "order by" clause.

    Hi All,
    it could be very help to me if you provide some information about sorting technique used by oracle engine for order by clause.
    Issue i am facing :
    Table : xx
    Line Date
    1 05-06-2013 00:00:00
    2 05-06-2013 00:00:00
    when we query above table using order by date, it is returning line 2 prior to line 1. we would like to know why it is returning line 2 first?
    Regards,
    Ram

    Well ok - but be warned that many people wind up being sorry they ask that question. Hopefully Hemant's answer is what you really wanted.
    See 'Linguistic Sorting and String Searching' in the Oracle® Database Globalization Support Guide
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28298/ch5lingsort.htm
    Sorting will be controlled by the settings of NLS_LANGUAGE, NLS_SORT and NLS_COMP.
    Here is the doc page for NLS_SORT
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28298/ch3globenv.htm#i1008393
    >
    NLS_SORT specifies the type of sort for character data. It overrides the default value that is derived from NLS_LANGUAGE.
    NLS_SORT contains either of the following values:
    NLS_SORT = BINARY | sort_name
    BINARY specifies a binary sort. sort_name specifies a linguistic sort sequence.
    >
    And the one for NLS_COMP
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28298/ch3globenv.htm#i1008458
    >
    The value of NLS_COMP affects the comparison behavior of SQL operations.
    You can use NLS_COMP to avoid the cumbersome process of using the NLSSORT function in SQL statements when you want to perform a linguistic comparison instead of a binary comparison. When NLS_COMP is set to LINGUISTIC, SQL operations perform a linguistic comparison based on the value of NLS_SORT. A setting of ANSI is for backward compatibility; in general, you should set NLS_COMP to LINGUISTIC when you want to perform a linguistic comparison.

  • Cursor ORDER BY Clause Changing Row Count In BULK COLLECT ... FOR LOOP?

    Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 running on Windows Server 2003
    Oracle Client 10.2.0.2.0 running on Windows 2000
    I have some PL/SQL code that's intended to update a column in a table based on a lookup from another table. I started out by testing it with the UPDATE statement commented out, just visually inspecting the DBMS_OUTPUT results to see if it was sane. During this testing I added/changed the cursor ORDER BY clause to make it easier to read the output, and saw some strange results. I've run the code 3 times with:
    1. no ORDER BY clause
    2. ORDER BY with two columns (neither indexed)
    3. ORDER BY with one column (not indexed)
    and get three different "rows updated" counts - in fact, when using the ORDER BY clauses it appears that the code is processing more rows than without either ORDER BY clause. I'm wondering why adding / changing an ORDER BY <non-indexed column> clause in a cursor would affect the row count?
    The code structure is:
    TYPE my_Table_t IS TABLE OF table1%ROWTYPE ;
    my_Table my_Table_t ;
    CURSOR my_Cursor IS SELECT * FROM table1 ; -- initial case - no ORDER BY clause
    -- ORDER BY table1.column1, table1.column2 ; -- neither column indexed
    -- ORDER BY table1.column2 ; -- column not indexed
    my_Loop_Count NUMBER := 0 ;
    OPEN my_Cursor ;
    LOOP
    FETCH my_Cursor BULK COLLECT INTO my_Table LIMIT 100 ;
    EXIT WHEN my_Table.COUNT = 0 ;
    FOR i IN 1..my_Table.COUNT LOOP
    my_New_Value := <call a pkg.funct to retrieve expected value from another table> ;
    EXIT WHEN my_New_Value IS NULL ;
    EXIT WHEN my_New_Value = <an undesirable value> ;
    IF my_New_Value <> my_Table(i).column3 THEN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( 'Changing ' || my_Table(i).column3 || ' to ' || my_New_Value ) ;
    UPDATE table1 SET column3 = my_New_Value WHERE column_pk = my_Table(i).column_pk ;
    my_Loop_Count := my_Loop_Count + 1 ;
    END IF ;
    END LOOP ;
    COMMIT ;
    END LOOP ;
    CLOSE my_Cursor ;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( 'Processed ' || my_Loop_Count || ' Rows ' ) ;

    Hello (and welcome),
    Your handling the inner cursor exit control is suspect, which will result in (seemingly) erratic record counts.
    Instead of:
    LOOP
    FETCH my_Cursor BULK COLLECT INTO my_Table LIMIT 100 ;
    EXIT WHEN my_Table.COUNT = 0 ;
    FOR i IN 1..my_Table.COUNT LOOP
    my_New_Value := <call a pkg.funct to retrieve expected value from another table> ;
    EXIT WHEN my_New_Value IS NULL ;
    EXIT WHEN my_New_Value = <an undesirable value> ;
    IF my_New_Value my_Table(i).column3 THEN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( 'Changing ' || my_Table(i).column3 || ' to ' || my_New_Value ) ;
    UPDATE table1 SET column3 = my_New_Value WHERE column_pk = my_Table(i).column_pk ;
    my_Loop_Count := my_Loop_Count + 1 ;
    END IF ;
    END LOOP ;
    COMMIT ;
    END LOOP ;Try this:
    LOOP
    FETCH my_Cursor BULK COLLECT INTO my_Table LIMIT 100 ;
    FOR i IN 1..my_Table.COUNT LOOP
    my_New_Value := <call a pkg.funct to retrieve expected value from another table> ;
    EXIT WHEN my_New_Value IS NULL ;
    EXIT WHEN my_New_Value = <an undesirable value> ;
    IF my_New_Value my_Table(i).column3 THEN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( 'Changing ' || my_Table(i).column3 || ' to ' || my_New_Value ) ;
    UPDATE table1 SET column3 = my_New_Value WHERE column_pk = my_Table(i).column_pk ;
    my_Loop_Count := my_Loop_Count + 1 ;
    END IF ;
    EXIT WHEN my_Cursor%NOTFOUND;
    END LOOP ;
    END LOOP ;
    COMMIT ;Which also takes the COMMIT outside of the LOOP -- try to never have a COMMIT inside of any LOOP.
    Additionally, not too sure about these:
    my_New_Value := <call a pkg.funct to retrieve expected value from another table> ;
    EXIT WHEN my_New_Value IS NULL ;
    EXIT WHEN my_New_Value = <an undesirable value> ;Any one of those EXITs will bypass your my_Loop_Count increment.

    Had the cursor not found in the wrong place, now corrected.
