Outer Join not returning rows

Hi,
i have a view based on the following statement. I can't get the unmatched rows from table 'npe' to show up in the result.

Hi,
Its very difficult to analyse the query without any data being provided. So I suggest you to debug the above query by keeping basic join condition intact and comment out all the other where conditions for initial run.
FROM pa_request pr, pa_transaction_request ptr, org_unit ou
WHERE ptr.pa_trnsctn_rqst_sid = pr.pa_trnsctn_rqst_sid
--AND pr.org_unit_sid = ou.org_unit_sid
--AND pr.oprtnl_flag = 'A'
--AND ptr.oprtnl_flag = 'A'
--AND ou.oprtnl_flag = 'A'
--AND pr.pa_mode_type_lkpcd = 'BT'
--AND (pr.status_cid = 86 OR pr.status_cid IN
(20, 70, 30, 80, 25, 101, 96)
--AND pr.pa_rqst_sid = 75006271If if you have given join conditions proper and if data exists ,you can see set of rows displayed.
Next step is to keep on uncommenting each of the where condition
AND pr.oprtnl_flag = 'A'Like this you 'll come to the condition which does not match your requirement
Hope this helps

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.

Second level detail in master-detail via VL does not return rows

Sorry, I did not want to repost the entire thread. Please see the last entry in the following thread for my urgent question.
second level detail in master-detail-detail does not return rows
"second level detail in master-detail-detail does not return rows"
Thanks so much!
Teri

Ahhh ... that explains everything!
You wrote:
ListView1
-> ListRowView2 (via ListRowFkLink1)
-> ListValueView2 (via ListValueFkLink2)
That's why I thought it's a master and two details.
But it's more like:
ListView1
-> ListRowView2 (via ListRowFkLink1)
-> ListValueView2 (via ListValueFkLink2)Is that correct?
That's the explanation.
A ViewLink is basically a RowSetIterator controlling a detail RowSet. When the iterator navigates, the detail RS is refreshed.
When you create a hierarchy in the wizard, the controlling master iterator is always the default iterator! But you used a new iterator (listRowIter) to iterate over your first detail. The default iterator of that first detail didn't move, hence the RowSet of your second detail was not refreshed.
When you navigate in the tester, the tester always uses the default iterator. That's why it worked there.

its like this ...... ?
You have to understand that without any testdata/ a reproducable testcase, all I can do is asking you to test some alternatives, I'm just guessing things from what I can make of your example, and hope you'll repost back any differences in a clear and concisive way.
What I didn't understand is why you're not just joining your tables/views instead of using inner queries.
Unfortunatly you're not providing any feedback on that, on the other hand you've narrowed down your problem to a specific part of your query? But you're not sharing why/what makes you decide to take that turn.
But: you're still using inner queries in your reply.
So, sorry, I cannot proceed/say anything useful unless you answer my previous post.
Because, there are still many other questions/doubts: I don't understand why you're not aliasing your columns properly, for example.
I don't know why you've suddenly switched to VW_GET_USER_cust_sa?
I don't know if you've tried the straight join instead of nesting queries?
And if you did, what's the problem?
Please read and understand this, so you'll get your answers by the speed of light the next time you've got a question or problem:

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.

Merging two complemental result sets... or OUTER JOINs not working?

Dear experts!
Again I have a very difficult problem for which I ask Your help, but this time I am better prepared than last time and can deliver sample data of my (hopefully not too much) simplified example:

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! :-)

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.

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

Outer Join creating duplicated rows (sort of)

Greetings Forum,
Using version MII 11.5 sp 6
Joining two unique xml documents on three common columns using the Join Action block set up for an outer join. The results of the join are
Set a Set b results in
c1 c2 c1 c3 c1 c2 c3
a a1 a a2 a a1 a2
b b1 b b2 a a1 --- this row is extra
c c1 b b1 b2
d d1 b b1 --- this row is extra
 c c1 ---
 d d1 ---
in this example the two extra rows match set a and not in set b even though they did have matching data.
Any Ideas. We have tryed deleting the join action and recreating it. Doing the join with two local xml documents....

Actually, It's three columns matched up to three columns. Attached is an actual sample right out of BLS.

Sp_sproc_columns not returning row for "@RETURN_VALUE"

Hello folks...
I have published a CLR stored procedure to replace a "normally created" stored procedure.
If I execute "sp_sproc_columns" for the CLR procedure, it does not return a row for "@RETURN_VALUE".
If I execute "sp_sproc_columns" for any normally created stored procedures, there is a row for "@RETURN_VALUE".
Code used: exec sp_sproc_columns N'PROC_NAME_HERE',@ODBCVer=3
For backwards compatibility issues, I need the "@RETURN_VALUE" row to be returned for all CLR Stored procedures.
My CLR stored procedure executes no problem when manually run. It looks like this:
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure]
public static SqlInt32 proc_CreateNewFile(out String filename)
return 0;
I have tried changing the data type so INT is returned, but no luck either.
SQL Server 2014 is the version being used.
Thanks!

And as a workaround you might call a TSQL wrapper proc instead of calling the CLR proc directly.

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,
Dominic

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
SOLD TO        MATERRIAL CALMONT     ACTUAL QUANTIY
14315           100           06.2007                  20
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
14315            200                06.2007           20                                30

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 ..

Expected output logic*
Need to display the product value for each region along with the value of master product for the corresponding product and region. If a product doesn't belong to a particular region, but the corresponding master product is, then that value also needs to be displayed for that product and region with child value as zero.
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.
Expected Output*
PRODUCT_ID ~~~ REG ~~~ CHILD_VAL ~~~ MASTER_VAL
Arm-01 ~~~ CAL ~~~ 100 ~~~ 390
Arm-01 ~~~ DEL ~~~ 222 ~~~ 300
Arm-01 ~~~ CHEN ~~~ 55 ~~~ 450
Arm-01 ~~~ MUM ~~~ 0 ~~~ 600
Arm-MASTER ~~~ MUM ~~~ 69 ~~~ 199
Arm-MASTER ~~~ DEL ~~~ 90 ~~~ 299
Arm-MASTER ~~~ CHEN ~~~ 0 ~~~ 399
