Outer join not returning missing records.

Hi All,
Can you please look at the query and see why I don't get any record. There is no item '0141884' for cust_id '1259' in the nfpc_gpm_expense table.
Thank you in advance.

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.

Dynamic From statement in select query and/or outer join not working

Dear Experts, I have a select query where the select columns are dynamic, the where condition is also dynamic. It is of the below format:
Select (dynamic columns) INTO <wa>
FROM a inner join b on af1 = bf1
inner join c on af2 = cf2......
WHERE (dynamic conditios)
ORDER BY ( dynamic sort condition).
Now I have to include some tables (dynamically depending on the user input) in the inner join statement which will give description for the selected fields. And these database tables may or may no be empty. So in this case, my select query will not return any data if these tables are empty. And I dont want that.
I tried using outer join for the extra tables but it gave me a runtime error. I also tried forming the inner join statement dynamically but it was not supporting.
Kindly give me pointers.
Thanks

Hey thanks for the reply, but the problem is not solved.
I am already using ( fileds, value) like table in my where condition and the select statement was working properly.
the problem is that now I have to include some tables in the join statement which can be empty and so i want to use Outer join.
But I am getting a runtime error as below:
Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_DYNAMIC_OSQL_SYNTAX', was not
     caught in
    procedure "ZATSCSNG_RFC_READ_TABLE" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by a
     RAISING clause.
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    The running ABAP program wanted to execute a SELECT statement whose
    WHERE condition was (partly) specified dynamically. The part that is
    specified in an internal table at runtime is compared to a field of the
    right table of an LEFT OUTER JOIN. Such comparisons are not supported by
     all database systems and are therefore not allowed.

Outer Join not functioning

I have a query as shown below
select w.columns1, w.cloumn2, w.counter
Select a.columns1, a.cloumn2, a.rownum counter
from (subquery a
union
subquery b)
) w
view b
where
w.counter(+) = y.counter,
The view has standard 12 records with a value 0. Now my problem is that for each product_key in main query, if i receive less then 12 records then the oter join with view should halp me to fetch 12 records for a particular product.
But soehow the outer join ins not working.
HELP required ASAP
Thanks in Advance

Please imagine this as an university for amateur cooks. Now I want to present them their performance record/"scorecard", for every student, only with her or his marks. On this performance record there should be a list of all 9 subjects possible to pass, and where students got a result, that result should be filled in. I thought that should be possible to achieve with something like this:
SELECT PEOPLE.NAME, SUBJECTS.TITLE, RESULTS.RESULT FROM RESULTS
JOIN PEOPLE ON PEOPLE.PK_ID = RESULTS.FK_PEOPLE_ID
JOIN SUBJECTS ON SUBJECTS.PK_ID = RESULTS.FK_SUBJECTS_ID
WHERE RESULTS.FK_PEOPLE_ID = 2
But also using (LEFT|RIGHT|FULL) OUTER JOINs here does not help me to get what I want, I always only get
NAME TITLE RESULT
Cloe Choosing a recipe 4
Cloe Shopping ingredients 1
Cloe Preparations 5
Cloe Cooking for beginners 2
Cloe Eating for pros 3
Cloe Dishwashing for everyone 2
Cloe Digesting for experts 1
But I want:
NAME TITLE RESULT
Cloe Choosing a recipe 4
Cloe Shopping ingredients 1
Cloe Preparations 5
Cloe Cooking for beginners 2
Cloe Eating for pros 3
Cloe Dishwashing for everyone 2
Cloe Digesting for experts 1
Cloe Becoming hungry again...
Cloe Redo from start
Without having to fill in empty rows for all students which did not take all exams yet.
Is it possible? If so, how?
Thank You very much in advance and Happy Easter to everyone! :-)
With kind regards,
Chriss

Outer join not working

Hello everybody,
I have a folder based on materialized view (Detailed folder). There is another folder which is based on a table (master folder). i have created a jooin and select option as "outer join on master folder". The join is not working properly. Am i doing asomething wrong. Discoverer version is 10.1.2 and database version is 10.2.0.3. i have been creating outer joins among folders based on tables but i am not sure about whats wrong this time??? materalized view defination is as follows:
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW MW
BUILD IMMEDIATE
REFRESH FORCE
START WITH SYSDATE
NEXT TRUNC(SYSDATE+1)+1/4
WITH PRIMARY KEY
AS
SELECT * FROM VIEW
Thanx for your help
Regards,
Najeeb

So, let me see if I got this...
You have a table and a materialized view. There is a join between the two, where the table is the master, and the MV is the detail. The join is set to be an outer join on master. Ultimately, you want to see the values in the MV where the join condition is NULL.
What boggles me is that you say the query runs fine in the database, but not in Disco. This could mean that there is a condition in the BA or in the worksheet. But, if that were the case, the condition should show up in the SQL generated by Disco.
It looks like the where clause is the problem. NULL is never equal to anything, so when APPROVEDBY is null, the where clause should fail and no data returned. This explains Disco's behavior, but not SQL's.
Something to try: Create a calculation in the materialized view folder of the business area like:
NVL(APPROVEDBY, -1)
I am assuming that all of your IDs are positive. Then modify the join to use the calculated column. This should convert the NULLS to values, and the report should work.

8i Query not returning expected records

Using Oracle 8i (8.1.7), a basic spatial query is not returning all the expected results. Table1 contains a variety of polygons; table2 is simply a set of rectangles. I want to return all objects from table1 that intersect a particular rectangle. The query below mostly works, but misses out some objects. On my system, 38 objects are returned where about 41 are expected; on the client system (which does not have identical data) the problem appears to be much worse, with hardly any objects being returned. The missing objects are clearly visible on the map, surrounded on all sides by objects which have been selected correctly. Help?
Select t1.id from table1 t1, table2 t2
where t1.IsCurrent = -1
and (sdo_relate(t1.geoloc, t2.geoloc, 'mask=ANYINTERACT querytype=WINDOW') = 'TRUE')
AND (t2.ID in ('001'));

Hi,
When the non-spatial predicate is dropped, you mentioned the
objects are not missing. This means the spatial index (which will
surely be used in this case) should be returning correct results.
But it is possible the index is not used when other predicates are
specified. Please look at the "execution plan" in both cases (when the
objects are missing/not missing).
Rewrite the query as:
select /*+ ORDERED INDEX(t1 <spatial_index_name>) */ t1.id from t2, t1
This should ensure a spatial-index-based evaluation.
Let us know the execution plans and the behavior in either case.
Btw, one thing to check is your tolerance values in
user_sdo_geom_metadata.

Query Not Returning Enough Records

have two tables that I am trying to join together.
The first table shows the income for each department of the store broken down by period like this:
Store_Data:
Store_Type Dept    Year Period Sales
Grocer      Produce   11 01      31865.00
Grocer      Produce   11 02      32525.00
Grocer      Produce   11 03      37490.00
Grocer      Meat      11 01      224.00
Grocer      Dairy     11 02      5850.00
Grocer      Dairy     11 03      33209.92
Grocer      Dry       11 03      1000.00
The second table contains a record for each store showing it's goal, like this:
Goal_Data:
Store_Type Dept    Year Amount
Grocer      Produce   11 157192.00
Grocer      Canned    11 0.00
Grocer      Paper     11 146820.00
Grocer      Meat      11 2168.00
Grocer      Dairy     11 50000.00
Grocer      Frozen    11 29464.00
Grocer      Pet       11 330096.00
Grocer      Dry       11 1716.00
Grocer      Pharmacy 11 0.00
Grocer      Misc      11 6668.00
Now, I have a query to join the two tables. What I want is for all the records in the second table, whether or not there is a corresponding record in the first (such as 'Meat' and 'Dairy').
I have to filter on Store_Data.Store_Type, Store_Data.Year, Store_Data.Period
Crystal is outputting the following SQL:
SELECT DISTINCT
    Store_Data.Store_Type,
    Store_Data.Dept,
    Store_Data.Year,
    Store_Data.Period,
    Store_Data.Sales,
    Goal_Data.Amount
FROM
    Store_Data
    RIGHT OUTER JOIN Goal_Data
        ON ((Goal_Data.Dept=Store_Data.Dept) AND
        (Goal_Data.Store_Type=Store_Data.Store_Type))
        AND (Goal_Data.Year=Store_Data.Year)
WHERE
    Store_Data.Store_Type='Grocer'
    AND Store_Data.Year='11'
    AND (Store_Data.Period='01'
        OR Store_Data.Period='02'
        OR Store_Data.Period='03')
But I'm only getting the records from the Store_Data table (and records in Goal_Data where the "ON" fields match). Testing in SQL Server verifies that the query is producing incorrect output.
What do I need to change to do what I'm wanting to do?

It looks like the thread is going to take a left turn just about now.
The problem appears to be that, for the query to work properly, the filter for the period has to be in the joins "ON" clause.
This I accept.
And, apparently, trhe only way to get a parameter value to go into that area is by using a stored procedure.
To that end, I have created a Stored Procedure which takes three parameters, "Store_Type", "Year", and "Quarter"
I have verified that the results are what I need. I plugged the stored procedure into my report (which is technically a sub-report) and it asked me for the values of the parameters. Entering them in, I do get a result that I would expect.
Everything good so far.
Now, about those parameters (both for the Storeed Procedure as well as the report). As I said, the report that I have been working is actually a sub-report, one of five which will be on the main report. Each report will require the same three parameters, two of which (year and quarter) need to be selected by the user and will feed the same values to all five sub-reports. The third parameter should be "hard-coded" to each particular sub-report.
Now for the issue (the main point being that I am unfamiliar with CR and Stored Procedures)...
The way things are going now, when all is said and done, it looks like the user will be required to enter in the year and quarter for each sub-report (the Store_Type will be there too, but it will have a default value). That's the user typing in '2012' for the year five times and '1' for the quarter five times. This is unacceptable.
So, how do I create a single Year parameter and a single Quarter parameter that will feed all five reports?
Apparently trying to code it in the Report Selection Formula is not the right path.
So, can someone either walk me through the process, or point me to a tutorial where the process is explained?
TIA

Left Outer Join Not working in BI 7.0 Infoset

Hi All,
I am working on BI 7.0. I have to create a report where I have to display the Target values from a target DSO against the transactional data (Operational data).
I have a DSO where for a subteam value target has been set up on different KPIs.
In the Info Cube, I have transactional data on daily basis per subteam. I have to show the actual and target values.
I have created an Info Set using Target DSO and Daily operational cube, so that I should able to compare the target and actual values of KPIs, for all the subteam values (From DSO, irrespective of whether the data is available in cube for those sub team).
I have used Outer Left Join in the Info set (DSO on left side), but I am unable to see the desired results. It is working just like an inner join.
Any Idea why the Outer Left Join is not working? The DSO has only one fey field called subteam on which I have set outer left join.
Regards,
Amit

Hi,
did you solve your problem? because I have the same issue right now: the left outer join doesn't seem to do its job.
Let me know if you have found a solution, it would be appreciated.
have a nice day,

Left Outer Join not working in Infoset.

Hello Friends,
I have two ODSes , one for planned data (zplan) and other is billing z ods (zsd_o03).
now the situation is such that in my planned ODS for one sold to party .

14315            400                06.2007           10
But in my Billing ODS iam having for Sold to 14315

14315           200           06.2007                  30
And my Bex ouput should be like
SOLD TO        MATERIAL CALMONT        planned             ACTUAL QUANTIY
14315            100                06.2007           54                                 20

So for this i made one Infoset and these ODses are linked by Sold_to , Materail,
Calmonth.
First i tried using Inner joing option , but the bottom two lines were not ciming , so used left outer join , and activated and recreated the query but still its showiong me the output same as inner join .. i.e
14315            100                06.2007           54                                 20
14315            200                06.2007           20                                30
So i checked by writing a ABAP code in Se38 , but there its showing me the correct result ..
So please anybody help me out because iam thinking that infoset is the right way to do this kind of reporting , or esle shall i make one ODS and populate it through this ABAP code..
Thanks in advance.

Hi , can anybody help me in this regard..
Thanks ..

Outer Join not giving correct result

I have two tables=> tab_child_tmp (product_id,region,child_val,mst_product) and
tab_master_tmp (master_product_id,region,master_val)
tab_child_tmp.mst_product is the foreign key referencing tab_master_tmp.master_product_id.
Currently the tables are populated with below values
tab_child_tmp
PRODUCT_ID REGION CHILD_VAL MST_PRODUCT
Arm-01,     CAL,     100,     Arm-Master
Arm-01,     DEL,     222,     Arm-Master

Arm-Master     , DEL,     300
Arm-Master, CHEN,     450
Arm-Master, MUM,     600
Now I want to display the result in the below format
PRODUCT_ID REGION CHILD_VAL MASTER_VAL

2. Arm-01     , DEL, 222,     300

4. Arm-01     , MUM, 0,     600
5. Arm-02     , MUM, 69,     600
6. Arm-02     , DEL, 90,     300
7. Arm-02     , CHEN, 0,     450
8. Arm-02     , CAL, 0,     390
When I am running the below query it is not returning the above 4,7 and 8 rows. Can you please provide the correct sql to get the above desired output
SELECT
a.product_id,
nvl(a.region,b.region) geo,
nvl(a.child_val,0)match_val,

ie. for product Arm-01 there is no record in tab_child_tmp for region "MUM", but it's master product 'Arm-Master' has a record for region 'MUM' in tab master_tmp table. So in ouput there will be a record for product 'Arm-01' and region-'MUM' with child value as 0 and master value as 600.

Outer join not working when filters are applied from Prompts

Hi,
Without values being selected from the dashboard prompts, my outer join is working fine with all the rows and all the columns showing up( as per requirement). But as soon as I select values in the prompts, only certain rows and columns show up.
BTW, I have 2 prompts Year and Quarter. I put Year is Prompted or is null in the criteria. It works. BUT as soon as I also put in quarter numbers, it does not work.
Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks,
Dan
Edited by: Danny on Apr 26, 2013 12:10 PM

I just experimented by adding is null to not only the year and quarter but to the row and column too and it worked!
Thanks,
Dan

LEFT OUTER JOIN not working as expected

I'm testing a query from the portal. I've got two inputs:
products
{"ProductKey":1,"ProductAlternateKey":"abc","Color":"Red"},
{"ProductKey":2,"ProductAlternateKey":"def","Color":"Blue"},
{"ProductKey":3,"ProductAlternateKey":"ghi","Color":"Blue"}
And temperatures:
{"DeviceId":1,"Temperature":99},
{"DeviceId":2,"Temperature":90},
{"DeviceId":2,"Temperature":99},
{"DeviceId":3,"Temperature":50},
{"DeviceId":4,"Temperature":32}
When I test a query with an (inner) join, I get two rows, one for Red and one for Blue as expected. However, when I change to a LEFT OUTER JOIN, I would expect to get three rows... one for Red, one for Blue, and one for NULL color. However, I only get one
row with a NULL color. Here's the query. Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding?
SELECT DateAdd(second,-5,System.TimeStamp) as WinStartTime
, system.TimeStamp as WinEndTime
, b.Color
, Avg(r.Temperature) as AvgTemperature
, Count(*) as EventCount
FROM temperatures r
LEFT OUTER JOIN products b ON r.DeviceId = b.ProductKey and DATEDIFF(hour,r,b) BETWEEN -6 AND 6
GROUP BY TumblingWindow(second, 5), b.Color
(Please excuse the contrived example, the lack of timestamps, and the 12 hour window... just testing.)

Hi Greg,
Thank you for raising this issue.
We have deployed a fix today that corrects LEFT OUTER JOIN behavior on the in-browser query testing experience.
Can you please confirm that the above query and input sources work for you?
Thanks!

FDM for PBCS - Drill Thru does not return any records in landing page

This is referring to the Data Management functionality in PBCS, not on-premise FDMEE.
I loaded in a file, for example:
Region|Product|Account|Amount
10|100|1000|9,000
10|100|1000|1,000
In FDM, I am using a multi dimensional map to derive another field. For example, if Region is 10 and Product is 100, than Department = 555.
so in FDM, I would end up with
10|100|1000|555|9,000
10|100|1000|555|1,000
Once loaded to PBCS, that loads in as:
10|100|1000|555|10,000
I built a form that shows this intersection, and then 'drilled to source'. When I get to the FDM landing page, there are no records shown. Is this because the derived field (department) does not exist in the source, or am I doing something wrong?
Appreciate any help.

Do you have access to the server logs by any chance?
Can you check the dimension class for your Scenario dimension in your target application? is it set to SCENARIO?
not showing source records is typically related to FDMEE not finding values in TDATASEG table.
