Outer join not outer joining

Hi, I'm trying to do a query like this:
SELECT A.id, etc
FROM A,B,C
WHERE A.id(+) = B.id and A.id = C.id
GROUP BY A.id
and this isn't getting the values in B that don't match with A.
I also tried the ANSI syntax but I got the same result.
thanks in advance.

Hi your Join condition of A with C might be the one which is not getting what you want. WHy dont you try only between table A and B and see what you get.
SELECT A.id, etc
FROM A,B
WHERE A.id(+) = B.id
GROUP BY A.id
thanks

ORA-30563, Outer Join not allowed in select list

I can not find any information about this error message that I am getting.
I have just upgraded my Oracle database from Version 7.3 to Version 8.1.7, a stored procedure that was written in v7.3 has outer joins in the select statement.
when trying to run this proc in version 8 I get this meesage.(ORA-30563, Outer Join not allowed in select list)
code ex:
Select alt.id
decode(alt.advise, NULL, NULL, AA.act_yr(+))||'-'||AA.act_per(+)||'-'||AA.Acc_per_no(+)) as advise_no
from alt, AA;
Is there any information about this message anywhere? or does anybody know if this is a known issue with oracle ver 8.1.7?
Thanks
CJ

It appears to have been a bug in 7.x
From a metalink note on bugs fixed in 8i (doc 132632.1)
974742 Oracle does not report an error if (+) is specified in select-list. The OUTER JOIN operator (+) is only valid in WHERE clause predicates. As this is not flagged as an error the query can give unexpected results. The correct action to avoid this problem is to fix the query.

Why Inner join or Outer join is not used for Pool or Cluster tables ?

Hi SAP-ABAP Experts .
With Due Regards .
May u explain me why Inner join or Outer join is not useful for Pool or Cluster tables ?
because peoples advised not use Joins for Pool and Cluster tables , What harm will take place , If we do this ?
Best Regards to all : Rajneesh

Both Pooled and Cluster Tables are stored as tables within the database. Only the structures of the two table types which represent a single logical view of the data are defined within the ABAP/4 Data Dictionary. The data is actually stored in bulk storage in a different structure. These tables are commonly loaded into memory (i.e., 'buffered') due to the fact they are typically used for storing internal control information and other types of data with little or no external (business) relevance.
Pooled and cluster tables are usually used only by SAP and not used by customers, probably because of the proprietary format of these tables within the database and because of technical restrictions placed upon their use within ABAP/4 programs. On a pooled or cluster table:
Secondary indexes cannot be created.
You cannot use the ABAP/4 constructs select distinct or group by.
You cannot use native SQL.
You cannot specify field names after the order by clause. order by primary key is the only permitted variation.
I hope it helps.

Example
Output a list of all flights from Frankfurt to New York between September 10th and 20th, 2001 that are not sold out:
DATA: DATE   LIKE SFLIGHT-FLDATE,
      CARRID LIKE SFLIGHT-CARRID,
      CONNID LIKE SFLIGHT-CONNID.
SELECT FCARRID FCONNID F~FLDATE
    INTO (CARRID, CONNID, DATE)
    FROM SFLIGHT AS F INNER JOIN SPFLI AS P
           ON FCARRID = PCARRID AND
              FCONNID = PCONNID
    WHERE P~CITYFROM = 'FRANKFURT'
      AND P~CITYTO   = 'NEW YORK'
      AND F~FLDATE BETWEEN '20010910' AND '20010920'
      AND FSEATSOCC < FSEATSMAX.
WRITE: / DATE, CARRID, CONNID.
ENDSELECT.
If there are columns with the same name in both tables, you must distinguish between them by prefixing the field descriptor with the table name or a table alias.
Note
In order to determine the result of a SELECT command where the FROM clause contains a join, the database system first creates a temporary table containing the lines that meet the ON condition. The WHERE condition is then applied to the temporary table. It does not matter in an inner join whether the condition is in the ON or WHEREclause. The following example returns the same solution as the previous one.
Example
Output of a list of all flights from Frankfurt to New York between September 10th and 20th, 2001 that are not sold out:
DATA: DATE   LIKE SFLIGHT-FLDATE,
      CARRID LIKE SFLIGHT-CARRID,
      CONNID LIKE SFLIGHT-CONNID.

      AND FSEATSOCC < FSEATSMAX.
WRITE: / DATE, CARRID, CONNID.
ENDSELECT.
Note
Since not all of the database systems supported by SAP use the standard syntax for ON conditions, the syntax has been restricted. It only allows those joins that produce the same results on all of the supported database systems:
Only a table or view may appear to the right of the JOIN operator, not another join expression.
Only AND is possible in the ON condition as a logical operator.
Each comparison in the ON condition must contain a field from the right-hand table.
If an outer join occurs in the FROM clause, all the ON conditions must contain at least one "real" JOIN condition (a condition that contains a field from tabref1 amd a field from tabref2.
Note
In some cases, '*' may be specified in the SELECT clause, and an internal table or work area is entered into the INTO clause (instead of a list of fields). If so, the fields are written to the target area from left to right in the order in which the tables appear in the FROM clause, according to the structure of each table work area. There can then be gaps between table work areas if you use an Alignment Request. For this reason, you should define the target work area with reference to the types of the database tables, not simply by counting the total number of fields. For an example, see below:
Variant 3
... FROM tabref1 LEFT [OUTER] JOIN tabref2 ON cond
Effect
Selects the data from the transparent database tables and/or views specified in tabref1 and tabref2. tabref1 und tabref2 both have either the same form as in variant 1 or are themselves join expressions. The keyword OUTER can be omitted. The database tables or views specified in tabref1 and tabref2 must be recognized by the ABAP-Dictionary.
In order to determine the result of a SELECT command where the FROM clause contains a left outer join, the database system creates a temporary table containing the lines that meet the ON condition. The remaining fields from the left-hand table (tabref1) are then added to this table, and their corresponding fields from the right-hand table are filled with ZERO values. The system then applies the WHERE condition to the table.
Left outer join between table 1 and table 2 where column D in both tables set the join condition:
Table 1                      Table 2

Equal Join and Outer Join in OBIEE

Hello expert,
I think the default join in OBIEE is Outer Join. So no matter what join conditions that I specify on the physical layer, the result that I get in the presentation layer is still outer join.
How to specify the equal join or inner join in Business and Logical layer?

Hello,
Thank you for your reply. However it does not work. I got the following message:
[nQSError: 32005] The object "Fact - Fruit" bc if type 'LOGICAL TABLE SOURCE': is missing a foreign key or a complex join in the join graph.
The situation that I have is:
Fact table: "Fact - Fruit"
List of value table (look up table): "dim_list_of_values"
I am only interested in the type in the "dim_list_of_values" table where equals to "Apple". So I only want to join the "Fact - Fruit" and "dim_list_of_values" with those records with "Apple" type.
It sounds to me that I am unable to define a freign key.

SYNTAX "INNER JOIN and OUTER JOIN"

Hi Experts,
I think LEFT JOIN,INNER JOIN syntax is in ANSI.
I know that Oracle has got its own alternate(+) operator to serve the purpose.
Please tell me whether INNER JOIN,OUTER JOIN,LEFT JOIN,LEFT OUTER JOIN,RIGHT OUTER JOIN these syntaxes present in ORACLE 8I.
If not in 9i Or highr versions are they existing?
Thanks in advance,
Ananth

Hi,
8i has inner join. (+) syntax supports LEFT or RIGHT OUTER JOIN.
FULL OUTER JOIN is supported in 9i, which introduces the JOIN keyword.

Error occurred when executing query involving cross join or outer join

Hi,
I tried to execute the following query:
select count(*)
from
     po,
     invoice,
     table(xmlsequence(extract(invoice.content, '/CommercialInvoice/Body/LineItemDetails/LineItem'))) invoice_line_item
where
     extractValue(po.content, '/PurchaseOrder/Header/DocumentID/RID') =
     extractValue(value(invoice_line_item), '/LineItem/Product/PurchaseOrderIdentifier/documentCreatorIdentifier')(+)
It produced the following error:
     Error: ORA-00936: missing expression
Then I change the query to:
select count(*)
from
     po left outer join
          invoice cross join
          table(xmlsequence(extract(invoice.content, '/CommercialInvoice/Body/LineItemDetails/LineItem'))) invoice_line_item
     on
          extractValue(po.content, '/PurchaseOrder/Header/DocumentID/RID')
          = extractValue(value(invoice_line_item), '/LineItem/Product/PurchaseOrderIdentifier/documentCreatorIdentifier')
It produced the following error:
     Error: ORA-00904: "INVOICE"."SYS_NC0012900130$": invalid identifier
If I simply the query to:
select 1
from
     invoice cross join
     table(xmlsequence(extract(invoice.content, '/CommercialInvoice/Body/LineItemDetails/LineItem'))) invoice_line_item
It also produced the following error:
     Error: ORA-00904: "INVOICE"."SYS_NC0012900130$": invalid identifier
What is the cause of the problem? How to resolve it?
The version I am using is 10.1.0.2.0 on Windows. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
    Recently we went for BW upgradatiaon (BI7.0) , the error you are facing could be due to the following issue,
    If infoobjects are used in infoset as infoprovider ( in BW3.5) after upgrade this infoobjects will not be selected automatically as infoproviders. So it will not be available for Infoset.
Please check whether any infoobjects are used as infoprovider, if so manually change them as infoprovider ( In BI7) and activate.
Since, few reports are working on the infoset , this could be those reports are not using the fields from the infoobjects. so it is working it seems.
Please check and let me know.
Thanks,
V.Senthil

Invalid combinations of joins involving outer joins

Hi all, I have the following problem
Scenario: I created 6 custom folders:
Tasks (with measures)
Type
Criticity
Status
Owners
Assignees
The first folder is used to retrieve how many tasks (COUNT(tasks)) have a particular type or status or a combination between them, and the others 5 are dimensions.
I create 6 joins starting always from the dimensions in this way (radio buttons):
Detail item values always exist in master folder (Typical)
Outer join on detail
where the master is always a dimension and the detail is always the custom folder with the measures.
I put the outer join on the custom folder with the measures because I want to show '0' in case I don't have any record on this folder for a specific attribute on a dimension (the join fails).
I saw that if I put the outer join on the master (dimensions), when the join fails I don't see at all the information regarding that particular dimension.
For example
I select 2 folder: Tasks and Assignee
join: Tasks.task_id (+) = Assignee.task_id
Result:
TASK ASSIGNEE
10 Mr. A
20 Mr. B
30 Mr. C
0 Mr. D
Just to make a test, If I change the join on Administrator putting :
Detail item values might not exist in master folder
Outer join on master
...the result is this
TASK ASSIGNEE
10 Mr. A
20 Mr. B
30 Mr. C
...I don't see the last record.
The customer asked to see always the record with task =0 (if exists), so I joined all the custom folders as I expalned above, but when I try to link (on Discoverer Plus) more than two tasks I have the following error:
Invalid combinations of joins involving outer joins
So, my question is this: how can I avoid this error ? Does it exist any trick or another way to link the custom folders (showing always the records with '0' when the join doesn't retrieve nothing ) ?
Thanks in advance
Alex

Well I will take a stab at answering this. The problem is not knowing what is in your custom folders. Also not knowing the specifics on your Discoverer Join definitions. On something like this you may be better going to Oracle support, since they can start a Web Conference and see exactly what you see, and can check out the various possibilities. All we here can do is make guesses, and the guesses could be wrong.
You do have to be careful in your join definitions in Discoverer. You have to pick the correct table as the Master table, and the correct table as the Detail table. Mess that up and you can mess yourself up. So my first though is check your join definition. Sounds like you want assigned to be the master table. Then tasks would be the detail table.
Then you want to pick the option that detail items might not exist in master. Which it looks like you have done.
Then for the other options, Oracle, in my mind, does the opposite of what I would think to pick. If you pick OUTER JOIN ON DETAIL, that will include the Master items with no detail items. So that is what you need to pick.
Looks like you did the OUTER JOIN ON MASTER, which means will include detail items with no master. Since you had a master with no detail, it will not show, and that is why the Mr. D does not show.
I always have to do the help on this because it is opposite of what I would expect - my mind thinks outer join on master should include all masters. Nope, it has to be the outer join on detail to do that.
The master with no detail will probably show a NULL value in the column for the detail, instead of 0. You could convert the null value to display as a 0.
Hope this helps a bit. Just remember that I am guessing/speculating on a possible cause.

Inner join Vs Outer join with ABAP code...?

Inner join Vs Outer join with ABAP code...?

Inner Join means, it will not select that recor at all, unless there is a matching entry in the second table.
suppose table VBAK INNER join table VBAP on VBAKVBELN = VBAPVBELN.
In this case, if there are no entries in VBAP, the header entry also will not show up.
But in case of OUTER JOIN, even if there is no items, it will show the header entry(VBAK) with blank columns for fields from item table.(VBAP)
here is one sample for inner join.
SELECT   A~EBELN
           A~EKORG
           A~EKGRP
           A~BSART

Inner join and outer join in infosets

hi everyone,
i have a doubt in infosets...
when and why we use inner and outer joins(right outer join and left outer join) for infoset
please give a real time scenario........
Thanks in advance.
Bye.

Hello,
Inner join:
For example, the requirement is to show all sales documents where you have delivery exists. In this case, you join both sales ods and delivery ods in a infoset as inner join. This will match the record against the reference documents and pull only matched records.
Outer Join:
Suppose you want to pull all billing/invoice details along with their FI documents related data in a report. Assume that always there might be a situation that invoice exists but not posted to FI, however, you want to have all billing documents details either it has FI document or not. In this case, you link both Billing data and FI document data in a outer join. This will pull all invoices data either FI document exists or not. Other words, you want to show one side of data always but adding additional details from differenent source if data exists.
Hope, it clarifies your doubt. Let me know if any questions.
Thanks

                                           ekpo~ebeln IN s_ebeln.
Shall I use both Outer Join and Inner join in one Query?
Please correcte me.
Thanks

Hi,
You can use both inner join and outer join in the same select statement.
Ensure first all the inner joins between tables are declared and put the left outer join at the end.
Some sample code for your reference:
SELECT
          AVBELN AKUNNR ABSTNK ABSTDK AVKORG AVTWEG AAUART AKNUMV
          BPOSNR BMATNR BWERKS BSPART BLGORT BKZWI1
          SUM( BKWMENG ) AS KWMENG DBZIRK D~VKGRP
          EDISPO EPRCTR
FROM VBAK AS A INNER JOIN VBAP AS B ON AVBELN EQ BVBELN
               INNER JOIN VBPA AS C ON CVBELN EQ BVBELN
               INNER JOIN KNVV AS D ON DKUNNR EQ AKUNNR
            AND DVKORG EQ AVKORG AND DVTWEG EQ AVTWEG
               LEFT OUTER JOIN MARC AS E ON E~MATNR EQ
                         BMATNR AND EWERKS EQ B~WERKS
          INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE IT_ORDERS
          WHERE A~VKORG IN SO_VKORG
          AND A~VTWEG IN SO_VTWEG
          AND A~KUNNR IN SO_KUNNR
          AND A~ERDAT IN SO_ERDAT
          AND A~AUART IN ('ZFOR','ZROR','ZEOR','ZDXR','ZXOR','ZRM1','ZGOR','ZSOR')
          AND B~MATNR IN SO_MATNR
          AND B~WERKS IN SO_WERKS
          AND B~SPART IN SO_SPART
          AND B~ABGRU EQ SPACE
          AND A~LIFSK EQ SPACE
          AND A~FAKSK EQ SPACE
          AND B~VSTEL IN SO_VSTEL
          AND B~LGORT IN SO_LGORT
          AND C~KUNNR IN SO_SHIP
          AND C~PARVW EQ 'WE'
          AND D~VKGRP IN SO_VKGRP

Seriously, I suggest you take an ABAP class, it's out of the scope of this forum to tech you how to program joins.

LEFT Join not working

Hi guys,
I am not sure why the left join is not working.. when I try to use the and condition out of the left join condition. The database is relational but the requirement is for reporting. I have 2 user inputs and I should get the query results as explained below..
Let me explain with the sample data.
Table 1: PRTYPE (P)
TYPEID CLASSID
T001 CLS001
T001 CLS002
T001 CLS003
T002 CLS002
T003 CLS001
Table 2: EMPLOYEE (E)
EMPID NAME
E001 Joe
E002 Mark
E003 Lucy
Table 3: DETAILS (D)
EMPID CLASSID STATUS
E001 CLS001 NEW
E001 CLS002 DONE
E002 CLS001 NEW
E002 CLS004 NEW
Report1:
Input: PRTYPE.TYPEID = T001, EMPID = E001
Output:
E.NAME E.EMPID P.TYPEID A.CLASSID D.STATUS
JOE EMP001 T001 CLS001 NEW
JOE EMP001 T001 CLS002 DONE
JOE EMP001 T001 CLS003 BLANK
Report2:
PRTYPE.TYPEID = T003, EMPID = E003
E.NAME E.EMPID P.TYPEID A.CLASSID D.STATUS
LUCY E003 T003 CLS001 BLANK
LUCY E003 T003 CLS004 BLANK
When I use and condition in left join itself, it works but when I take it to the end of the sql using where p.typeid= T001 and E.EMPID = E001 I am not getting the left join results... It looks like Oracle doesn't like the condition at the end. I hope I am clear on explaining. Please share your experience on how to get it working..
Thank you

Why don't you post your query? You know, it will be easier for someone to tell you what you're doing wrong if they know what you're doing.
Are you saying that you get the correct results when you have a cerain condition in an outer join, but that you get the wrong results if you put the exact same condition in the WHERE-clause?
If so, keep the condition where it does what you want.
You can usually move INNER join conditions around like that, but never OUTER join conditions.
As Alex said, if you want help, post executable statement to create and populate your tables with a little sample data, as well as the output you want from that sample data, and your best attempt at a query.
