Pls. help on my query!!!

hi to all i have a query but i am getting the ff: error
Error starting at line 1 in command:
select max(dateadd) as newdate, startseries from transactions where transid = 'RS'
Error at Command Line:1 Column:32
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-00937: not a single-group group function
and my query is to get the ff: data of course (2 columns)
select max(dateadd) as newdate, startseries from transactions where transid = 'RS'
if this wont work is there any possible solution? i tried using subqueries and still not giving me any data to display...
thanks!

hi to all:
this is my table details (sql developer tool)

TRANSACTIONS is my table where i save all kinds of transaction type (e.g. Purchased Orders, Delivered Orders so on...) these includes the series of its invoices/receipts... in other words, for example the series ends e.g. 2000-4000 i need to enter another series (that's why i do have a date when it was just entered to strictly monitor my series being issued) so i need to get the latest series collection using max(dateadd) that's why that row will be updated once i use the function max() to know which is the latest... the update that i am calling thru stored proc so that my data part is truly separated w/ php with an oop approach...
i dont knw if this is clear enough guys, but again thank you for all your help! inform me if i need to make another clarifications... thank you so much sirs!!! :)

Pls help in this query

Hi,
I've needed to print output like below. pls help me out .
Thanks & Regards,

Pls Help with a query

Problem Scope:
Two tables with different set of columns,
Only common column being "emplid"--employee id.
table1 has 2 columns "emplid" and "effdt"- effective date.
table2 has 3 columns "emplid", "start date" and "end date".
So structure of the tables will be:
1. table1: emplid, effdt
2. table2: emplid, start_date, end_date
Need to find out all the records from table2, where
"table2.start_date" falls between 2 "table1.effdt" rows for the same employee.
For example for an emplid "G1234",
table 1 data: emplid, effdt
G1234, 01/01/1990
G1234, 01/01/1994
table 2 data: emplid, start date
G1234, 01/01/1993
G1234, 01/01/2001
For the above scenario, query should return the row: G1234, 01/01/1993 from table 2 as it(start date) falls between two effdt from table 1.
Pls advice,
Thanks

Seems to be my day for LAG and LEAD.
Does this work for you?

Pls. help tune this query

This is the SQL i would like to tune for performace...
The table structure is given below.
The table has about 5 million rows.
On the first day, load_flag has all the rows as 'I'.
Then from the second day onwards only around 10% of records will be between Load_Start_Time and Load_End_Time. Among these around 40% will have Record_key like 'TP%'. And among those most of the records (95%)will have load_flag as 'U' and a very few (5%) as 'I'. At present there are unique and primary key indexes on record_key. Please advice me whether it's better to go for an index on any of these columns and what type would be better. I thought it would help to have a bit map index on load_flag and a function base index on SUBSTR (RECORD_KEY).
Also pls. let me know if the order of predicates is right.
Thanks in advance.

I would like to discuss a bit more how a composite index is used. This is not anymore the question of the OP, but I think it will deepen my understanding and maybe that of others as well.
So we have this situation to start with.
* A select on two different columns.
* An index on each column would lead to an INDEX RANGE SCAN because of the where condition.
* Instead of 2 indexes where only one would be used (not considering bitmap conversions), we add a composite index on both columns.
* The CBO will choose and access the index.
Question is: How is this access is done in detail?
So 400 rows come out of the index range scan.
This would not be possible if it only scanned one of the two predicates. I agree. The output of the index seem to be only those (400) rows that fit with the where clause on both columns.
This is supported by the fact that an Index only access is possible when we select only information that is in the index (Oracle 9i output).
SQL> explain plan for
2 select record_key

4 where stg_update_date_time >= to_date('2007-11-11','yyyy-mm-dd')
5 and stg_update_date_time < to_date('2007-11-12','yyyy-mm-dd')
6 and record_key like 'TP%'
7 /

SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display);
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost |
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 160 | 2400 | 2 |
| 1 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | I1 | 160 | 2400 | 2 |
Note: cpu costing is off, PLAN_TABLE' is old version
9 rows selected.
SQL> Unfortunately I don't see the filter operation, probably because the plan table is old in my system.
The index is build on columns "stg_update_date_time" and "record_key". So it must access these columns in that order.
I think, that maybe the range scan is done on the date column and then a further access/filter operation is done to rule out any index entries (leaf nodes) that do not fit with the LIKE 'TP%' expression.
Since I expect that is is faster to access the data in the index than in the table this should improve performance quite a bit. It is not the same access plan/speed however as with a clause like this:
SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display);
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost |
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 520 | 3 |
| 1 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| MYTABLE | 1 | 520 | 3 |
| 2 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | I1 | 1 | | 2 |
Note: cpu costing is off, PLAN_TABLE' is old version
10 rows selected.
SQL> The difference can be seen in the cost estimation.
I hope somebody does understand what I would like to point at.
Result of this considerations:
1) Composite index can be used
2) The index is used as a range scan on one column and as a filter operation after this access on the second column. This is like an extra select statement inside the index structure.
3) The resulting table access is as small as possible.
4) A faster access plan can be achieved when the first column is accessed with direct (unique) scan on the first and a range scan on the second column.

Hi!!Pls help !!Query Urgent!!

Hi all
We have a ABC classification with respect to the char.ABC class based on the Total Vlaue(New Query),
We have already created with Analysis Processs designer based on the Shopping cart value(orginal Query) & they have restricted in the (orginal Query) too.
TOTAL VALUE CODING:
IF <result_fields>-/bic/ztotal_it > 30000000.
 <result_fields>-abc_class = 'A'.
 ELSEIF <result_fields>-/bic/ztotal_it BETWEEN 10000001 AND
 30000000.
 <result_fields>-abc_class = 'B'.
 . ENDLOOP.
My question to clarify is that do I have to change the restricted char with Shopping cart values(orginal Query) to my present TOTAL VALUE(New Query),.
But if suppose I am changing it in TOTAL VALUE(New Query), ,it will reflect the Shopping cart values (Original query) also as it has been copied frm the original query.
pls anyone revert to me ASAP.
thnx IN ADVANCE

Hi
We are calculating the total Value based on char ABC classification like the following:
IF ztotal_it > 30000000.
_class = 'A'.
ELSEIF ztotal_it BETWEEN 10000001 AND 30000000.
abc_class = 'B'.
I have created this ,not sure whether this is correct,I have found in the query,some calculated key figures r used,So i want to know do i have to change the calculated key figure also, as I am not getting any data while executing in RSRT.
Leave my previous question...
pls clarify me this anyone & tell whether the routine is right & it has to be end routine or start routine???

Pls help with this query

Hello
If I run the following query I correctly get a sum of the invoices for a particular BP for Jan 09
SELECT T1.[SlpName], T0.[CardCode], SUM(CASE WHEN T2.[DocDate] BETWEEN '20090101' AND '20090131' THEN (T2.[DocTotal] - T2.[VatSum]) ELSE 0 END) AS 'JAN 09' FROM OCRD T0 INNER JOIN OSLP T1 ON T0.SlpCode = T1.SlpCode INNER JOIN OINV T2 ON T0.CardCode = T2.CardCode WHERE T0.[CardCode] = 'KEY065' GROUP BY T0.[CardCode], T1.[SlpName]
However I need the value of credit notes to be reflected in the figure so I amended the query to be:
SELECT T1.[SlpName], T0.[CardCode], SUM(CASE WHEN T2.[DocDate] BETWEEN '20090101' AND '20090131' THEN (T2.[DocTotal] - T2.[VatSum])ELSE 0 END) - SUM(CASE WHEN T3.[DocDate] BETWEEN '20090101' AND '20090131' THEN (T3.[DocTotal] - T3.[VatSum]) ELSE 0 END) AS 'JAN 09' FROM OCRD T0 INNER JOIN OSLP T1 ON T0.SlpCode = T1.SlpCode INNER JOIN OINV T2 ON T0.CardCode = T2.CardCode INNER JOIN ORIN T3 ON T0.CardCode = T3.CardCode WHERE T0.[CardCode] = 'KEY065' GROUP BY T0.[CardCode], T1.[SlpName]
When I run this query the output is incorrect ................ Is the fault to do with my JOINS?
Thanks

Hi Just to clarify
This query, which just totals any invoices for a BP for January, correctly returns a value of £9660.44 :
SELECT T1.[SlpName], T0.[CardCode], SUM(CASE WHEN T2.[DocDate] BETWEEN '20090101' AND '20090131' THEN (T2.[DocTotal] - T2.[VatSum]) ELSE 0 END) AS 'JAN 09' FROM OCRD T0 INNER JOIN OSLP T1 ON T0.SlpCode = T1.SlpCode INNER JOIN OINV T2 ON T0.CardCode = T2.CardCode WHERE T0.[CardCode] = 'KEY065' GROUP BY T0.[CardCode], T1.[SlpName]
This next query, which just totals any credit notes for a BP in January, correctly returns a value of £567.73 :
SELECT T1.[SlpName], T0.[CardCode], SUM(CASE WHEN T3.[DocDate] BETWEEN '20090101' AND '20090131' THEN (T3.[DocTotal] - T3.[VatSum]) ELSE 0 END) AS 'JAN 09' FROM OCRD T0 INNER JOIN OSLP T1 ON T0.SlpCode = T1.SlpCode INNER JOIN ORIN T3 ON T0.CardCode = T3.CardCode WHERE T0.[CardCode] = 'KEY065' GROUP BY T0.[CardCode], T1.[SlpName]
I want a query which return a value of 9660.44 minus 567.73 (ie £9092.71)
My original effort at this returned -£82,608.65 !!!!!!!!!
and Gordon's amended version returned -£40,281.74 !!!!!
Thanks for your patience

thanks so so much.....
another question:

The data should be save the data in al11 as the following format=>
1-It ll show the PO details that has been created between 12-1 and 1-2,it should not show 12-1 data in 1-2 means between 12 to 2 i ll store the data in AL11 that has been created between these one hour time if it would more than one hour than last one hour data it wont show in al11.
Now the Pos that has been created between 2 am to next day night should be display when the user ll run the report at next day 12 o'clock.
Can you give me the following idea,
1-Which table stores the background scheduling time,if NAST than what is the field name.
If anyone solve this kind of prob,pls help me on this.
Thanks a lot

Query-Automatic assignment of Record type to Book of Business-Pls help me

I have a query about Automatic assignment of record in Book of Business.
Using 5 record types & 50 regions as a part of Book of Business. You can say 50 sub-books.
I want to assign these 5 record type to particular Book when to create & modify.
Eg. When I create new account it should be automatically assigned to Book 1 & later I modify this account for reassignment to new user then it should be automatically added to the new user’s book.
I need to create workflow for this as Assign to book criteria for both when new record saved & when modified record saved.
I have tried this & its working; however problem is with the creation of two many workflows.
50 region (Books) x 5 record types * 2 - Create/modify flow = 500 workflows for one country!
If I am right then I can assign 1 record type with action as create or modify in 1 book only.
How to reduce these no. of workflows?
Pls help me out in this regard.
Regards
Mangesh

Mangesh,
I am sorry to tell you that there is no quick answer to this but i will say that maybe you need to rethink your book structure and their requirements here.
I have 4 types and 7 regions so you need to create books to allocate all these on create and also modify. Customers have raised concerns with this to Oracle and they are looking into it but they are along way from completing this. Sorry to spoil your day but i would strongly ask you to consider your books structure before you complete this.
Otherwise if you are using webservices you could assisgn the book when the record is piped into the CRM and then you only need to complete the modify workflows.

Gurus and experts pls help me to solve this problem. Dont give any suggestion like
SELECT vip_mot_ind,vip_ind

veh_axis vaxis,
veh_axis_ind vaind
WHERE v.vip_mot_ind= vaxis.axis_mot_ind
and   v.vip_ind= vaind.eng_ind
and   vaind.eng_axis= vaxis.eng_axis
and   vaxis.eng_axis='ENGAXIS002'
union
SELECT vip_mot_ind,vip_ind
FROM veh_main V,
veh_eng_sub vsub,
veh_eng_ind vind
WHERE (v.vip_mot_ind= vsub.eng_mot_ind
and   v.vip_ind=vind.eng_ind
and    vsub.eng_subclass= vind.eng_subclass
AND vsub.eng_subclass='ENGSUB001' )
}this will give correct result...
MOT01     1
MOT01     2
MOT02     5
MOT02     6
but the problem is we cannot implement this in query. because query get framed at runtime there will be so many implement has to be done. other than UNION pls give me more suggesion
waiting..

create a view v1 with all the joins
select * from v1 where eng_subclass='ENGSUB001'
union
select * from v1 where eng_axis='ENGAXIS002'
If you really do not like the direct access with union, try this
select * from v1
where vsub_PK in (select vsub_PK from v1 where eng_subclass='ENGSUB001' )
OR vsub_PK in (select vsub_PK from v1 where eng_axis='ENGAXIS002')
--vsub_PK is the primary key of table vsub

Cursor Query Pls help me

Hi all,
I m creating a table dynamically and after that i m inserting records in tht table dynamically..
After tht i want to fetch all the records from tht table into a cursor which is a SYS_REFCURSOR. as i have to return the data to frntend ..
But when i m opening tht cursor like
OPEN cur_GetCertDetails
               FOR
               SELECT TRIM(certrefno) As CertNo,
                              TRIM(damagedno) As Damagedno,
                              TRIM(personname) As Name,
                              TRIM(icnumber) As Icnumber,

                         FROM ACprintInductionCert;
Its giving error as
64/5 PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
73/10 PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
Dynamically created table name is ACprintInductionCert
Pls help me out ..
I have tried to use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE after FOR but its givin err

since your table is created dynamically, you can not
have the name hardcoded in the cursor....which is precisely the point (or one of them) I made in your Procedure Problem Urgent on this topic.
Once you start down the road of dynamic code execution it is very difficult to stop. Dynamic code has its uses but it should be very much the last resort. Dynamic code means you are literally running untested code in a production environment, and is consequently more likely to fail. Its failures are also more difficult to recover from. It also makes dependency tracking extremely difficult.

Select query. pls help

Hi all

I have the following requirement.
kindly help me how to write the select queries to achieve it.
its urgent
pls help me
thanks in advance
In June of year 1, new budget prices must be determined for the following year (year 2). The budget prices for year 2 are calculated out of the average contract prices in the first 5 months of year 1 (January May). The average contract price will then (outside the system) be corrected with an index. To calculate new prices for Campina Netherlands, a report is needed to show all materials with current budget price, volumes and contract prices during the first five months of year 1
The purchasing assistant creates an excel file per Material type, based on the Budget pricelist out of SAP.
Purchasers check the file on:
 being correct,
 materials marked for deletion in SAP
 changes to be made in data
The new prices, calculated based ion the output of the SAP Budget pricelist, are sent to controlling in june year 1.
On the 1st of January year 2 the new budget prices are inserted in SAP as the new standard price / budget price.
the fields for display are as follows
