Outer join - null values

How can i distinguish in an outer join between rows from the right hand table which is in existance but all components are initial and rows from the right hand table which are not in existance?

Hi,
Try incorporating the key from the right hand table this should ideally not be initial. Or maybe you could incorporate the MANDT field from the right hand table.

Need help Take out the null values from the ResultSet and Create a XML file

hi,
I wrote something which connects to Database and gets the ResultSet. From that ResultSet I am creating
a XML file. IN my program these are the main two classes Frame1 and ResultSetToXML. ResultSetToXML which
takes ResultSet & Boolean value in its constructor. I am passing the ResultSet and Boolean value
from Frame1 class. I am passing the boolean value to get the null values from the ResultSet and then add those
null values to XML File. When i run the program it works alright and adds the null and not null values to
the file. But when i pass the boolean value to take out the null values it would not take it out and adds
the null and not null values.
Please look at the code i am posing. I am showing step by step where its not adding the null values.
Any help is always appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

How to find out the null values in table

hi experts,
my version is oracledb10g:
i h'd simple doubts.
for eg:
create table ex1( e varchar2(20));
insert into ex1 (null).
insert into ex1(e)
count will be: 2
i can easily found out the value 'e'.
so my question is:
how can i found out the null values in the table and i want to delete the null values from the table.

delete from <table_name>
where <column_name> is null;Ideally you'd just place a NOT NULL constraint on the column in question, thereby prohibiting NULL values from entering into the system (assuming your business requirement is that the column MUST always have a value).

SQL Select using LEFT OUTER JOIN returning field values when I expect NULL

I am having problems with this select statement:
SELECT distinct pl.id, th.trip, pc.country, pph.location
FROM people_list pl, people_travelhistory th, people_country pc
LEFT OUTER JOIN people_info pph on pph.id=pl.id and pph.country=pc.country
where people_list.active='Y' and people_list.id=th.id and th.trip = pc.trip;
The criteria is that the pph table may not have no record for that id and country.
The problem is that the pph.location field is returned with data even when no matching record for that id or country exists.
If the record doesn't exist in the pph table, I want pph.location = NULL
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in Advance!
Developer

Hi, You can try this :
SELECT distinct pl.id, th.trip, pc.country, pph.location
FROM people_list pl, people_travelhistory th, people_country pc
left outer join people_info pph on pph.id = pl.id
left outer join people_country pc on pc.country = pph.country
left outer join people_travelhistory th on th.id = pl.id
where pl.active='Y' and th.trip = pc.trip;
Knowing that you requesting people active that have travelled to their own country.

Defaulting Null Values in an outer join to the last joined row's values.

I have a situation where I need to fill in the missing values from an outer join with the last values returned by the join.
The query is based on a date table, an organization table and a transaction table.
SELECT D.DATE_ID, O.ORG_ID, T.VALUE
FROM D_ORGANIZATION O, D_DATE D, F_TRANSACTION T
WHERE D.DATE_ID = T.DATE_ID(+)
AND T.ORG_ID = O.ORG_ID(+)
AND O.ORG_NAME = '&NAME'[
AND D.THE_DATE >= ADD_MONTHS( TO_DATE( '&&PERIOD_DATE', 'DD-MON-YYYY' ), -23 )
AND D.THE_DATE <= ADD_MONTHS( TO_DATE( '&&PERIOD_DATE', 'DD-MON-YYYY' ), 24 )
So the query will return all dates in the 4 year period, and where transactions exist the relevent value.
DATE_ID ORG_ID VALUE
38291     2 99.8
38321     2 45.1
38352
38383
38411
What I need to happen is:
DATE_ID ORG_ID VALUE
38291     2 99.8
38321     2 45.1
38352     2 45.1
38383 2 45.1
38411     2 45.1
Lag appears to be of no use because it will only pick up the last genuine value, so using
NVL(T.VALUE, LAG(T.VALUE,1) OVER ( .... )
Gives:
ATE_ID ORG_ID VALUE
38291     2 99.8
38321     2 45.1
38352     2 45.1
38383
38411
The length of the data gap can vary as constituent organisations don't all return their data at the same time, and there may be intermediate dates where no data is returned , but the value needs to be calculated.
What's going on here is that a gaph is being generated where the tool requires data points to plot the line, once the real data ends a bespoke trend calculations takes over based on the last value returned. I do not have access to the data warehousing options so a solution that doen't need them would be handy, but if not then options can be purchased.
The tool can't use PL/SQL, but is perhaps a bespoke function in order?

To do this wouldn't you need to know the data in advance? The real source table had 1800 organisations and 8,000,000 transactions.
I Tried this as well, creating a pl/sql package as follows.
create or replace PACKAGE stack AS
TYPE gnt_push_numbers IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
TYPE gvt_push_varchars IS TABLE OF VARCHAR(1000) INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
gna_push_numbers gnt_push_numbers;
gva_push_varchars gvt_push_varchars;
FUNCTION PUSH ( pn_push_var NUMBER, pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER DETERMINISTIC;
FUNCTION PUSH ( pv_push_var VARCHAR, pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR DETERMINISTIC;
FUNCTION POP_NUM ( pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER DETERMINISTIC;
FUNCTION POP_VAR ( pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR DETERMINISTIC;
END stack;
CREATE OR REPLACE
PACKAGE BODY "STACK" AS
FUNCTION push(pn_push_var NUMBER, pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER deterministic IS
BEGIN
gna_push_numbers(pn_offset) := pn_push_var;
RETURN pn_push_var;
END push;
FUNCTION push(pv_push_var VARCHAR, pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR deterministic IS
BEGIN
gva_push_varchars(pn_offset) := pv_push_var;
RETURN pv_push_var;
END push;
FUNCTION pop_num(pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER deterministic IS
BEGIN
RETURN gna_push_numbers(pn_offset);
END pop_num;
FUNCTION pop_var(pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR deterministic IS
BEGIN
RETURN gva_push_varchars(pn_offset);
END pop_var;
END stack;
Unfortunately it appears to act before the rows are sorted, so will only work in specialised circumstances, in that you have to ensure the rows have been sorted before the function is used.
SELECT PUSH(COL), POP..(COL)
FROM ( SELECT etc.
Luckily the client decided they didn't want to mix their graphs any more so a more classic approach using a base table select for actuals and then a date table select with a sub-query columns for the projection provided a simple solution.

Which outer join gives you the error? I don't see any address information in the SQL, hence my question. The first outer join, on table alias L is not needed. The WHERE clause you have setup requires that L.LINEESTIMATEID has a value and so NULL will not evaluate to TRUE and the row will be filtered out. This means you will only be returning rows where there exists rows in the L table, hence the outer join is not needed.
Are all your columns really VARCHAR2(4000)? You say it is object-relational, but was something defined as a CLOB?
You did not provide much in order to duplicate your error so I am just guessing at causes to identify the error.

Outer join With a constant value

Hi all,
In one of query i have found out that the outer join with a constant value like
to_currency(+)='USD'
to_currency is a column name in a table.can any one please explain this outer join condtn.
Thanks in advance

Hallo,
if you write var (+) = constant
var can be equal constant, and also can be null

the dataset c is just a filter on the the dataset b to retrieve only the incident_id's who belong to the Group 'A'
Want I want to achieve is this: see always the complete list of values 'range_2' even if I don't have incident_id with a particular range.
For this reason I put the condition: a.range_2 = b.ranges (+)
....but this doesn't work....I see ONLY the incident_id which have the range inside the LOV......instead I want to see also if there are incident_id without a range in the LOV.
Grouping by range_2, I see:

Thanks in advance

Hi, Alex,
Whenever you ask a question, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) for all the tables (relevant columns only), as well as the results you want from that data.
When you post formatted text on this site (and code should always be formatted) type these 6 characters:
{code}
(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after sections of formatted text, to preserve spacing.
If you're using a + sign next to some column from table c, then all conditions involving table c need to have a + sign; otherwise, you cancel the effect of the outer join.
Change
and c.OMADA = 'A'to
and c.OMADA (+) = 'A'That may be all you need. If not, post the sample data and your formatted query.

Using Command to fix null / left outer join issue

Hi
I was told awhile ago that it's possible to fix crystal's issue with left outer join and null records being eliminated.
I think i remember most of how this goes, but i can't seem to duplicate it.
1) You can't have any select expert -- record
2) You create the report normally and then make a new report using the SQL Query
     - Can't remember if its the whole report or upto the tables that have hisotry (null results)
3) You move parts from WHERE to FROM
Hopefully someone can help correct the steps i'm doing wrong or add what i'm missing from this.
Below is the Query from my comlpeted report, but when i run it with the last LEFT OUTER JOIN added it removes all the products with no sales during that year.
Any help would be greatly appreciated even if it's to say this can't be done.

Take a look at what I've done with the last line of the last join. The issue is that when you left join to a table and you use that table in the Where clause, you've basically turned your you left outer join into an inner join because the record has to be there in order to get the value in the filter. By moving the filter into the join, you'll still get the rest of the data when there is no corresponding record.
NOTE: Crystal adds all sorts of "extra" stuff like quotes and parentheses that you don't need and which I have removed to make the query easier to read.

OBIEE - Null Value in Joins

Hi All,
In OBIEE, How will I handle the null value in join conditions?
I have 2 tables inner joined together in the RPD level. They are User_Profiles table and Parties table.
I am creating a database prompt for a report and in dropdown sql results Iam giving the below query.
SELECT distinct CASE WHEN USER_PROFILES.PAR_ID IS NULL THEN PARTIES.PAR_ID ELSE
USER_PROFILES.PAR_ID END FROM user_profiles,parties WHERE USER_PROFILES.USER_ID='12345' AND parties.par_type = 'ABC' and parties.status = 'N'
Here the PAR_ID is not fetched in the dropdown from PARTIES table . The reason behind this is, when the USER_PROFILES is having PAR_ID as null, it is not able to join with PARTIES table and the dropdown is not populating. It works fine when it fetch from user_profiles table. I believe the issue occurs because of the user_profiles table having null values and not able to fetch from parties table.
Please advice..

Hi All,
I managed to write the query modified like below to handle the null value.
select nvl2(user_profiles.par_id,user_profiles.par_id,parties.par_id) from WFMT_SAINT_PR where user_profiles.user_id= {User()}
and ((user_profiles.par_id is not null and parties.par_id = user_profiles.par_id) OR (user_profiles.par_id is null and parties.par_type = 'MFR' and parties.status='C'))
But when i put this is dashboard prompt sql results for PAR_ID field i get the following error.
Error Generating Drop Down Values

Can you please advice what is wrong here..

Left outer join VS Is NULL .. Please help me to understand this.

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to use Leftouter join on a column. But unfortunately i couldnt implement this in OBIEE. so instead iam using = and is NULL condition. kindly help me to understand this or give me a solution.
Advance Thanks

Thanks alot.

SCORE(n) returning zero values in an outer join query

Hello all,
Is there any way to get a query that contains an outer join to return proper scores. I couldn't find out why this was happening in my query, but I'm getting a score values of 0 on most results.
Below are queries with result sets. As you can see the results that are scoring in the second query are scoring correctly, but only two have scores.
- - - Query 1, no outer join - - -
SELECT DISTINCT SCORE(0) AS scr,
file_repository.file_id,
file_repository.file_title
FROM file_repository
WHERE CONTAINS(index_url,'SYN(dui,a_thesaurus)', 0) > 0
ORDER BY scr ASC

- - - Query 2, with outer join - - -
SELECT DISTINCT SCORE(0) AS scr,
file_repository.file_id,
file_repository.file_title
FROM file_repository, file_security

Thanks in advance

To do this wouldn't you need to know the data in advance? The real source table had 1800 organisations and 8,000,000 transactions.
I Tried this as well, creating a pl/sql package as follows.
create or replace PACKAGE stack AS
TYPE gnt_push_numbers IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
TYPE gvt_push_varchars IS TABLE OF VARCHAR(1000) INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
gna_push_numbers gnt_push_numbers;
gva_push_varchars gvt_push_varchars;
FUNCTION PUSH ( pn_push_var NUMBER, pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER DETERMINISTIC;
FUNCTION PUSH ( pv_push_var VARCHAR, pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR DETERMINISTIC;
FUNCTION POP_NUM ( pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER DETERMINISTIC;
FUNCTION POP_VAR ( pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR DETERMINISTIC;
END stack;
CREATE OR REPLACE
PACKAGE BODY "STACK" AS
FUNCTION push(pn_push_var NUMBER, pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER deterministic IS
BEGIN
gna_push_numbers(pn_offset) := pn_push_var;
RETURN pn_push_var;
END push;
FUNCTION push(pv_push_var VARCHAR, pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR deterministic IS
BEGIN
gva_push_varchars(pn_offset) := pv_push_var;
RETURN pv_push_var;
END push;
FUNCTION pop_num(pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER deterministic IS
BEGIN
RETURN gna_push_numbers(pn_offset);
END pop_num;
FUNCTION pop_var(pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR deterministic IS
BEGIN
RETURN gva_push_varchars(pn_offset);
END pop_var;
END stack;
Unfortunately it appears to act before the rows are sorted, so will only work in specialised circumstances, in that you have to ensure the rows have been sorted before the function is used.
SELECT PUSH(COL), POP..(COL)
FROM ( SELECT etc.
Luckily the client decided they didn't want to mix their graphs any more so a more classic approach using a base table select for actuals and then a date table select with a sub-query columns for the projection provided a simple solution.

What is IS NULL doing in replacing NOT EXISTS operator with an outer join?

DB version:10gR2
An example from searchoracle.target.com
The query which contains a NOT EXISTS operator
SELECT M.ModulId, M.Modul FROM MODULE M
WHERE NOT EXISTS
( SELECT PROJEKTMODUL.IdModul
FROM PROJEKTMODUL
WHERE M.ModulId = PROJEKTMODUL.IdModul
AND PROJEKTMODUL.IdProjekt = 23 )is replaced by an equivalent outer join query
select distinct
       M.ModulId
     , M.Modul
from MODULE M
left outer
join PROJEKTMODUL
    on M.ModulId = PROJEKTMODUL.IdModul
   and PROJEKTMODUL.IdProjekt = 23
where PROJEKTMODUL.IdProjekt is nullI don't understand what
PROJEKTMODUL.IdProjekt is nullis doing in the above rewritten query.

It is to perform an Anti-Join. As far as I know Oracle (starting with release 10g - I thought Release 1) rewrites your NOT EXISTS and NOT IN query to a Anti Join which looks like your second query.
Look at the results of the query without the IS NULL predicate and see which records (from that set) should be selected to show the same results as the first query. The records of interest match the predicate IS NULL.

Left Outer Join & IS NULL Not Working

In a Data Flow Query element I am using a Left Outer Join to correlate two tables. In order to eliminate rows in which the Left Outer Join found a match with the Right table I am using IS NULL in the Where clause. Unfortunately IS NULL doesn't seem to return true when the NULL is caused by a lack of a match on a Left Outer Join. Has anybody been able to work around this?

Use not is NULL in next query after the join.
A source 1 ---
C (join query) ----- D (filter condition IS NULL)
B source 2 ---

Joining 3 tables with null values

Hi,
I have three tables that have varying data in. I want to write a query which will list all three in the result set, but when one of the tables doesn't have a row, write in No Value.
I will be intending on joining the tables with account numbers. What will be the syntax of a join with three tables where I am not sure which table will have null values?
Thanks...

Something like
select nvl(a.id,'No Value'), nvl(b.id, 'No Value'), nvl(C.id, 'No Value')
   from (select id from t1) a,
              (select id from t2) b,
              (select id from t3) c
where a.id = b.id(+)
      and a.id = c.id(+)
