Query returning more records ...

Hi All,
I am having a bit issues here. I have three tables and i am trying following query and it is returning 7 rows but I am expecting one row to return -
>
select distinct l.olic_id, b.obat_id, l.olic_key
from op_licences l, op_batches b, op_licence_batches ba
where BA.OBAT_ID = b.obat_id
and l.olic_id = ba.olic_id
and l.olic_key='HQ67138'
>
Getting the following result:
>
OLIC_ID OBAT_ID OLIC_KEY
2     3        HQ67138
2     1468     HQ67138
2     1469     HQ67138
2     1470     HQ67138
2     1471     HQ67138
2     1472     HQ67138
2     1473     HQ67138
7 rows returned in 0.14 seconds
>
I also have tried to use outer join and inner join but still does not work. Can any body tell me how can I get one record instead of 7?
Thanks in advance,

i am trying following query and it is returning 7 rows but I am expecting one row to returnYou are getting seven different rows so clearly your query is not as selective as it ought to be. Which of those rows is the one you're expecting? Given that, you need to look at the source data and establish the additional criteria you need in order to filter out the other six rows. It looks like OBAT_ID is the troublesome part.
Given that these are your tables and your business rules there is absolutely no chance that we will be able to solve this for you.

    Can any one give me clue ,how to find out which sub query returns more than one row in the following query .This is why smaller, simpler queries are easier to work with than huge ones - when something like this goes wrong smaller queries are much eaiser to debug. Unfortunately using smaller, easier-to-work with queries is not always an option
    Ganesh is right - you will have to dissect the big query bit by bit until you find the offending subquery. If there is another way I would like to find out about it too.
    The easiest way to do this is probably to use block comments to isolate parts of the query bit by bit until you find the offending part. If you carefully examine the subqueries you might be able to figure out which one is returning multiple rows without commenting everything
    Good luck!

  • Using index in a query return few records than full table access

    Today we have an issue with a query, when it use the ok index the returned are not all records that apply to where clause condition.
    See bellow
    explain plan for
    select * from movdb.zan_m03 where
    M00AF = TO_DATE('11/01/28','YY/MM/DD') AND
    M00za = 10 AND
    m00AC = 50 AND
    M00AD between 136906 and 136999
    SELECT * FROM TABLE(dbms_xplan.display);
    PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
    Plan hash value: 1882720105
    | Id | Operation | Name |
    | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | |
    | 1 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| ZAN_M03 |
    |* 2 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | PK_ZAN_M03 |
    Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
    PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
    2 - access("M00AF"=TO_DATE('11/01/28','YY/MM/DD') AND "M00ZA"=10 AND
    "M00AC"=50 AND "M00AD">=136906 AND "M00AD"<=137141)
    filter("M00AD"<=137141 AND "M00AD">=136906)
    Note
    - rule based optimizer used (consider using cbo)
    20 rows selected.
    The query above return only one row insted 1579 record that apply to this conditions.
    When forcing a full table acess with a hint, the query return all records that apply, the 1579 record.
    select /*+ FULL(zan_m03) */ M00AF, M00za, m00AC , M00AD from movdb.zan_m03 where
    M00AF = TO_DATE('11/01/28','YY/MM/DD') AND
    M00za = 10 AND
    m00AC = 50 AND
    M00AD between 136906 and 137141
    Can you help me to identify what's happening?
    I am with Oracle 10g R2 10.2.0.4 standard edition
    the statistics are up to date
    the opitimizer_mode are rule, but altering in session level to all_rows happens the same issue.
    Nothing about corruption in the alert log.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Cristiano

    Yes the query are the same and correct restriction for where clause are M00AD between 136906 and 137141.
    I've pasted, by mistake, another test query
    The corrects are:
    select M00AF, M00za, m00AC , M00AD from movdb.zan_m03 where
    M00AF = TO_DATE('11/01/28','YY/MM/DD') AND
    M00za = 10 AND
    m00AC = 50 AND
    M00AD between 136906 and 137141
    This use pk index and return one row
    select /*+ FULL(zan_m03) */ M00AF, M00za, m00AC , M00AD from movdb.zan_m03 where
    M00AF = TO_DATE('11/01/28','YY/MM/DD') AND
    M00za = 10 AND
    m00AC = 50 AND
    M00AD between 136906 and 137141
    This does a full table access and return 1579 records
    I´ve been searching for wrong results bugs on my oracle support, but not found one that mentions something like our issue.
    I checked the dba_tables and dba indexes and the number of rows are different, and I think this would be the same because it's is a pk.
    Look this
    SQL> select NUM_ROWS from dba_tables where table_name = 'ZAN_M03'
    2 /
    NUM_ROWS
    228527878
    select NUM_ROWS from dba_indexes where index_name = 'PK_ZAN_M03';
    SQL> select NUM_ROWS from dba_indexes where index_name = 'PK_ZAN_M03';
    NUM_ROWS
    217510185
    Is normal a index for pk having much fewer rows than table? I think not, but not sure.
    Again
    Thanks in advance

  • Single Sub Row Query Returns More Than 1 Row!

    I am trying to update values in a table from another table and getting the error: Single Sub Row Query Returns More Than 1 Row.
    I want table B's PRV_NAME updated into table A's PRV_NAME where A.PRVID = B.PRVID where B.PRV_TYPE = M'
    Both tables have all unique PRVID's, however, table B has PRVID's that have the same name. So table B data can look like this:
    PRVID PRV_NAME
    1234 PHOENIX MED
    1235 SAC MED
    1236 SAC MED
    1237 OVERLAND
    etc..
    So, as you can see the PRVID's are unique, but not the PRV_NAME's. Is this the reason why I get this error?
    I did not build the tables and have no control over what is put in them. If this is the reason for the error, is there any way to resolve this?
    For reference, here is the query. Maybe there is something wrong with this?
    update msb_prv_source ps
    set ps.prv_name =
    (select prv00.prv00_prv_name
    from prv00_prv prv00
    join msb_prv_source ps
    on prv00.prv00_prv_id = ps.prvid
    where prv00.prv00_prv_type = 'M')

    Both tables have all unique PRVID's, however, table B has PRVID's that have the same name. So table B data can look like this:
    PRVIDIf b.prvid is really unique, then
    UPDATE  a
    SET     prv_name = (
                     SELECT  prv_name

                     WHERE   a.prvid     = b.prvid
    ;should work, whether the other columns are unique or not.
    (Depending on your data and your requirements, you might want to use MERGE rather than UPDATE).
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
    In the case of a DML operation (such as UPDATE) the sample data should show what the tables are like before the DML, and the results will be the contents of the changed table(s) after the DML.
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
    Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).

    I see you've posted your code now:
    update msb_prv_source ps
    set ps.prv_name =
    (select prv00.prv00_prv_name
    from prv00_prv prv00
    join msb_prv_source ps
    on prv00.prv00_prv_id = ps.prvid
    where prv00.prv00_prv_type = 'M')Even if ps.prvid is unique, the sub-query can return more than 1 row if prv00.prv00_prv_id is not unique. When that that's the case, what do you want to happen? Include examples when you post the sample data and desired results.

  • Query returns zero records in coldfusion context, but works fine in Navicat

    I've got a query that's returning zero records when I load a page.  If I copy and paste that same query (from the debug output) into navicat, I get rows returned (as I expect).  Has anyone seen this?  It happens locally (CF9) AND remotely on our staging server (CF10).  Even weirder, it's a query that was previously working fine - I simply added an if statement to the where clause, and all of a sudden... 
    Here's the query:
            <CFQUERY name="LOCAL.getEncounterServices" datasource="#REQUEST.dsn#"> 
            SELECT
                a.EncounterProductID,
                a.DateTime AS ServiceDate,
                aa.CartItemID,
                aaa.CartID,
                aaaaa.CartStatus,
                b.ProductID,
                b.ProductName,
                b.CPTCode,
                b.Price,
                c.EncounterID,
                c.DateTimeClosed AS EncounterClosedDate,
                d.FirstName,
                d.LastName
            FROM
                EncounterProducts a
                    LEFT JOIN CartItemProduct aa ON (a.EncounterProductID = aa.EncounterProductID AND aa.Active = 1)
                    LEFT JOIN CartItem aaa ON (aa.CartItemID = aaa.CartItemID)
                    LEFT JOIN Cart aaaa ON (aaa.CartID = aaaa.CartID)
                    LEFT JOIN CartStatus aaaaa ON (aaaa.CartStatusID = aaaaa.CartStatusID),
                Product b,
                Encounters c,
                Contacts d,
                EncounterStatuses e
            WHERE
                1 = 1
                AND (aa.CartItemID IS NULL OR aaaaa.CartStatus = 'Deleted')
                AND a.Active = 1
                AND a.ProductID = b.ProductID
                AND a.EncounterID = c.EncounterID
                AND c.PatientID = d.ContactID
                AND c.EncounterStatusID = e.EncounterStatusID
                AND e.EncounterStatus = 'Closed'
              <CFIF IsDefined("ARGUMENTS.encounter") AND IsObject(ARGUMENTS.encounter)>
                     AND c.EncounterID = <CFQUERYPARAM cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#ARGUMENTS.encounter.getID()#">
             <CFELSE>
                    AND c.DateTimeClosed >= <CFQUERYPARAM cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" value="#ARGUMENTS.startDate#">
                    AND c.DateTimeClosed < <CFQUERYPARAM cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" value="#DateFormat(DateAdd('d', 1, ARGUMENTS.endDate), 'yyyy-mm-dd')# 00:00:00">
               </CFIF>
                AND c.LocationID = <CFQUERYPARAM cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#ARGUMENTS.locationID#">
                AND c.CustomerID = <CFQUERYPARAM cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#ARGUMENTS.customerID#">
            </CFQUERY>
    All of this worked just fine before I added the lines:
             <CFIF IsDefined("ARGUMENTS.encounter") AND IsObject(ARGUMENTS.encounter)>
                     AND c.EncounterID = <CFQUERYPARAM cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#ARGUMENTS.encounter.getID()#">
             <CFELSE>

                    AND c.DateTimeClosed < <CFQUERYPARAM cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" value="#DateFormat(DateAdd('d', 1, ARGUMENTS.endDate), 'yyyy-mm-dd')# 00:00:00">
              </CFIF>
    Previously, it had just been:
                    AND c.DateTimeClosed >= <CFQUERYPARAM cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" value="#ARGUMENTS.startDate#">
                    AND c.DateTimeClosed < <CFQUERYPARAM cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" value="#DateFormat(DateAdd('d', 1, ARGUMENTS.endDate), 'yyyy-mm-dd')# 00:00:00">
    With no IF/ELSE statement.
    Anyone seen anything like this before?  Any ideas? 
    Thanks.

    Right, I'll start disabusing myself of the DateFormat!
    I'm sorry, I should've posted the actual query too.  It's inserting the first part - "AND c.EncounterID = ....."
    Here's the full query:

    Thansk again for the help!

  • Query returns more row than expected

    1. select * from view_name where col1 = 'value1' returns 12 rows
    2. select * from (view script) where col1 = 'value1' returns 24 rows
    i have a view called view_name. If i use view_name directly in the query, it returns 12 rows. But if i use the select script directly in from clause, it returns more rows. I am not able to find out why it is happening so. Any pointers will be helpful.

    Are you saying that the SQL for view_name and view_script are identical? Can you post them?

              Type: Text
              Value: Request.Querystring("search")
              Default Value: %

    I was using the word "item" as an example for multiple columns without actually naming them - they are not the same.  I should've used this example:
    SELECT shoes, socks, hats, gloves
    FROM tbl_apparel
    WHERE shoes OR socks OR hats LIKE %MMColParam%
    ORDER BY sql_orderby, Date DESC
    In the past, I had four duplicate query parameters for four columns which worked fine.  But since I only have one search term, I thought I could eliminate three of the duplicate parameters and use just one with the OR statement.
    In the past, you questioned me on this.  You stated, "You only have one search term and so all of the parameters have the same value, but DW still wants to creates 4 parameters. If you were coding this by hand you wouldn't do it that way, but DW's one-size-fits-all code generates four seperate parms. It's nothing to worry about."

  • Single row query returns more than one row

    Hi all,
    I have a simple update query problem. I have four tables
    activist(activist_id,first_name,last_name,c_state),
    membership(activist_id,g_n_id),
    group_network(g_n_id,g_n_type_id),
    school_grop_det(g_n_id,state). For some records in activist table the c_state column is null, i want to update that column with state column of school_group_det table.
    Here is the query for the states which are null
    select distinct a.activist_id,a.first_name,a.last_name,
    a.c_state,sd.state from activist a,membership m,
    group_network g,school_group_det sd where
    a.activist_id=m.activist_id and g.g_n_id=m.g_n_id and
    g.g_n_id=sd.g_N_id and a.c_state is null and g.g_n_type_id='1001'
    order by a.activist_id
    I got the activist_id,first_name,last_name,c_state from activist and state from school_group_det. now i as i told you want to update the c_state with state column of school_group_Det table.
    Pleae any one help me
    Thanks

    Yes, the ROWNUM is never predictive. You won't know which row will be returned if you have multiple rows against a key.
    But according to your table structure, If you are getting multiple values, it means your membership table has primary key composed of (activist_id,g_n_id). And every g_n_id has a state associated with it.
    If an activitst_id has more than one g_n_id (which means more than one states) then which state of that you want to use for update?
    Either you'll have to have only one g_n_id for each activist_id, or you'll have to decide which state you want to use for update and change your update statement accordingly.
    Looking at your table structure, if the first column of each table would be a primary key then you will not get multiple values returned by the subquery.
    activist(activist_id,first_name,last_name,c_state),
    membership(activist_id,g_n_id),
    group_network(g_n_id,g_n_type_id),
    school_grop_det(g_n_id,state)

  • URGENT Select Query Returning No Records take same time as that of insert

    Hello Everrybody,
    I am facing a wierd problem...
    I have table with 15 fields and I am selecting a record with some condition...
    for e.g
    select field1,field2,field3....... from tablea where field1=123
    Now I have index on field1
    When I do SQL Trace it show me time taken as
    00:00:00:60 in oracle 817 SQL PLUS
    and using
    oracle 92 sql plus it show as
    00:00:00:01 in oracle 817 SQL PLUS
    Now Query is what does this 60 denotes milliseconds or what in oracle 92 and in oracle 817 sql plus.....
    Also this query does not return any rows...
    When I run the SP that insert records in same table...That sp take about same time as that of select returning no rows......
    Why is ORACLE Taking so much time for that select ????
    Please help.....

    8i measures timings in 100th of a second but I believe that 9i measures stuff in 1000th of a second. However, from your output it looks like SQL*Plus trace is rounding up to the nearest centisecond.
    Time is a very poor way of judging performance when you're talking less than a second per operation. You'd be better off looking at CPU usage and IO activity.
    Anyway, here are some questions for you to research:
    (1) Is field1 a unique index?
    (2) How many rows does this table hold?
    (3) How fresh are the statistics on the table and the index?
    (4) What's the explain plan? What's the TKPROF output?
    (5) Are all of the above the same on both databases?
    Cheers, APC

  • Sub query returns more than 1 value?? how to solve this issue ?

    Here my query is given below
    Declare @a as NVARCHAR(50)
    Declare @b as FLOAT
    SET @a=(SELECT U_WOType FROM IGE1 WHERE ItemCode=$[$13.1.0])
    SET @b=(SELECT $[$13.U_Quantity.Number])
    IF @a='Zinc Yellow Plating'
    BEGIN
    SELECT(@b * 14)
    END
    ELSE IF @a ='Powder Coating'
    BEGIN
    SELECT(@b * 16)
    END

    Hi Karthick,
    @b should be declared as DECIMAL(19, 6).
    For a strange reason, string fields read from the UI are of full size. So to be able to a test against a specific value (IF @A and ELSE IF @a lines) you have to trim the value first.
    So the line with the SET @a = (...) should be SET @a = RTRIM (LTRIM (...))
    From a SQL-Server point of view, you can also combine the two SET @a and SET @b into a single SELECT @a=..., @b=...
    Small performance improvement, with exactly no issues.
    The IF - ELSE IF test has a condition where it returns nothing (intended ?)...
    I personally would have written it like this:
    Declare @a as NVARCHAR(50)
    Declare @b as DECIMAL (19, 6)
    SELECT @a = LTRIM (RTRIM (SELECT U_WOType FROM IGE1 WHERE ItemCode=$[$13.1.0] AND IGE1.BaseRef=$[$13.61.0])), @b = (SELECT $[$13.U_Quantity.Number])
    SELECT
    CASE @a WHEN @a = 'Zinc Yellow Plating' THEN (@b * 14)
    WHEN @a ='Powder Coating' THEN (@b * 16)
    ELSE 0.0
    END

  • SAP query returning duplicate records

    Hi all,
    I'll try to elaborate as much as possible so here goes:
    I have a query that I am trying to run in SAP B1 8.8 which is not returning the true set of results I am expecting.
    Essentially I am trying to filter by product based on delivery notes. I have the query as follows -
    SELECT count(*), sum(T0.[DocTotal]-T0.[VatSum]) as "Order Value"
    FROM ODLN T0  INNER JOIN OCRD T1 ON T0.CardCode = T1.CardCode
    WHERE DateName(mm,T0.DocDate) = 'November'
    and DateName(yyyy,T0.DocDate) = '2011'
    and (T1.[GroupCode] = '102' or T1.[GroupCode] = '107')
    This returns the correct result of 1320 row numbers and the given sum.
    When I try to break this query down further by product using the query below, the values are doubled, tripled, quadrupled etc and summed up to give a number that is extremely high.
    The code is as follows:
    SELECT distinct count (*), sum(distinct T0.[DocTotal]-T0.[VatSum]) as "Order Value" from DLN1 T1
    inner join ODLN T0 on T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry
    Inner join OITM T2 on T2.ItemCode = T1.ItemCode
    inner join OCRD T3 on T0.CardCode = T3.CardCode
    WHERE DateName(mm,T0.DocDate) = 'November'
    and DateName(yyyy,T0.DocDate) = '2011'
    and (T3.[GroupCode] = '102' or T3.[GroupCode] = '107')
    and (T2.[ItmsGrpCod] = '108' or T2.[ItmsGrpCod] = '112' or T2.[ItmsGrpCod] = '115')
    This also returns 1819 rows where there should be less based on the product.
    Please let me know if I am not explaining myself well or need further clarification.
    Thanks!
