Recursive select?

I have a table like following
CRN Service_Code
25 SM
25 SP
25 SN
26 SP
26 SM
I want result like
25 SM,SP,SN
26 SP,SM
I have a query for this like:
Select CRN,
max(case when service_code='SP' then service_code else null end) ||','||
max(case when service_code='SM' then service_code else null end) ||','||
max(case when service_code='SN' then service_code else null end)
from Table1
group by CRN;
Is there any efficient way to acheive this rather than hardcoding the service codes???

Hallo,
SELECT crn,
       MAX(substr(SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(service_code,','),2))
FROM   (SELECT crn, service_code,
               ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY crn ORDER BY service_code) curr
        FROM   scott.tbl_crn)
GROUP BY crn
CONNECT BY curr = PRIOR curr + 1 AND crn = PRIOR crn
START WITH curr = 1;CRN MAX(SUBSTR(SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH
25      SM,SN,SP
26      SM,SP
But only from Oracle 9i!

Recursive select in user_constraints

I have 5 tables (or more) in master detail relation (five levels). Is possible to write recursive select cross user_constraints table to get all this levels from select?
my wrong try:
select table_name,R_CONSTRAINT_NAME,CONSTRAINT_NAME from user_constraints a
where a.R_CONSTRAINT_NAME is not null
connect by prior a.CONSTRAINT_NAME=a.r_CONSTRAINT_NAME start with a.R_CONSTRAINT_NAME='ZMPTDOPO_PK';

Recursive selection sort stack overflow

hi, first time posting here.
i have to write a java method that implements a selection sort. This method must be recursive. ok not a problem. i have come up with this so far
    public int findMin(int index) {
        int min = index - 1;
        if (index < num.length - 1) min = findMin(index + 1);
        if (num[index] < num[min]) min = index;
        return min;
    public void selectionSort(int left) {
        if (left < num.length - 1) {
            swap(left, findMin(left));
            selectionSort(left + 1);
    public void swap(int index1, int index2) {
        int temp = num[index1];
        num[index1] = num[index2];
        num[index2] = temp;
    }which works fine until i toss in a lot of values into the array. this creates a stack overflow, and ive been told that i need to use the divide and conquer method of resolving this issue. I guess this means to split the array up and sort each half seperatly, again and agin, or so im told.
My question is how do i go about doing this, i am at a loss. Any help at all would be great.
thank you
lance

i get this when i push the array passed about 5500 in sizeI got no problem. Post a small demo code that is generally compilable, runnable and could reproduce your problem. See: http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html and http://www.yoda.arachsys.com/java/newsgroups.html
It is silly to implement selection sort with recursion, double-silly if you use double-recursion as your current code.
/* silly but no OOME when used against 5500 element array */
import java.util.*;
public class RecursiveSelectionSort{
static int[] num;
public static int findMin(int index) {
    int min = index; // your code had a bug here
    if (index < num.length - 1){
      min = findMin(index + 1);
    if (num[index] < num[min]){
      min = index;
    return min;
public static void selectionSort(int left) {
    if (left < num.length - 1) {
      swap(left, findMin(left));
      selectionSort(left + 1);
public static void swap(int index1, int index2) {
    int temp = num[index1];
    num[index1] = num[index2];
    num[index2] = temp;
public static void main(String[] args){
    Random rand = new Random();
    int n = 10;
    if (args.length > 0){
      n = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
    num = new int[n];
    for (int i = 0; i < num.length; ++i){
      num[i] = rand.nextInt(10000);
    selectionSort(0);
    for (int in : num){
      System.out.print(in + " ");
    System.out.println();

How to write a recursive select procedure to read hierarchial data?

Hi!
I have a database where two tables are of interest to me.
TABLE1
ITEM_ID
TABLE2
PARENT_ID
CHILD_ID
There is a constrant between the tables so parent_id and child_id must exist in TABLE1 (they are actually same objects as those defined in TABLE1 using PK ITEM_ID)
This table design is used to create tree structures. But I ahve hit a bump in the road on how to create a procedure that give me the entire structure as a recordset.
Basically I just want to execute the procedure and I should be able to see the hierarchy, pergaps by appending pipe characters... like
|Node1
||Node11
|||Node111
||Node12
|||Node121
|Node2
Later in my web app I will create a word like document using this information. But first I just need to list the structure from a specific parent.
Do you perhaps have an idea how to create such a procedure? It should have at least 1 input parameter and that is the start parent. Then it should perhaps work in a recursive manner.
Im very sure this has been done before, but I have not found a good example using the table design as stated above.
kind regards
Henrik

Procedure with recursive query working in 11g compiles with error in 10g

Hi, All,
I have a procedure that recursively selects tree-like table (with ID-ParentID relationship). Query itself works perfectly and exactly like I need in 11g and procedure containing it compiles well. But when I try to create the same procedure in 10g then I get a message that procedure compiled with error. I have no other suspicions but on the WITH part of the procedure.
The exact query is here (destination_tariff_zones is the tree-like table which refers to itself by parent_destination_tariff_zone_id):
+ open dtzl_cur FOR
with dtree (nm, iid, alevel, wldcard, dtzindex)
as (select dtz.iname, dtz.iid, 0, dtz.wildcard, rcdi.iindex
from destination_tariff_zones dtz, rating_cube_dimension_indices rcdi, rating_cube_dimensions rcd
where dtz.parent_tariff_zone_id is null and
dtz."rc_dimension_index_id" = rcdi.iid and
rcdi."rc_dimension_id" = rcd.iid and
rcd.rating_cube_id = rc_id and
rcd.dimension_type_id = dim_type
union all
select dtz.iname, dtz.iid, dtree.alevel + 1,
cast ((dtree.wldcard || dtz.wildcard) as varchar2(20)), rcdi.iindex
from dtree, destination_tariff_zones dtz, rating_cube_dimension_indices rcdi, rating_cube_dimensions rcd
where dtree.iid = dtz.parent_tariff_zone_id and
dtz."rc_dimension_index_id" = rcdi.iid and
rcdi."rc_dimension_id" = rcd.iid and
rcd.rating_cube_id = rc_id and
rcd.dimension_type_id = dim_type)
select iid, nm, wldcard, dtzindex
from dtree
order by wldcard;+
Is there any difference between how 11g and 10g handle WITH statements?
Please advise.
Thank you very much in advance,
Max

Get-ADGroupMember -recursive Show Groupnames

I'm new to Powershell and im trying to get a list of the Members of some AD-Groups. Each Group is related to two other Groups for Read and Change permissions. Like FS101_EXAMPLE has two members wich are FS101_EXAMPLE_C and FS101_EXAMPLE_R
So far I've got the following Code:
import-module ActiveDirectory
$GRP = "Groupname"
Get-ADGroupMember $GRP -recursive | select objectclass,name | export-csv C:\Scripts\Exports\$(get-date -f yyyy-MM-dd-hh-mm-ss)-$GRP.txt –NoTypeInformation -Encoding UTF8
If i scan on "FS101_EXAMPLE" it works and i get a list of all Members of FS101_EXAMPLE_C and FS101_EXAMPLE_R but i should know how's in wich group.
How can I get a List with the Groupnames on it?

If I understand you correctly, it sounds like you're getting the list of members from FS101_EXAMPLE, and recursively returning the members of groups within this first group. Your output lists the users but doesn't distinguish from which group they belong.
I'm looking at Get-ADGroupMember and I see this behavior as well. I have ADPrincipal objects but there's not way on the surface to see their group membership.
There are likely a number of ways to reach your goal, here is one way using a recursive function.
function Get-ADGroupMembers {
param(
[string]$GroupName
$objects = @()
$members = Get-ADGroupMember -Identity $GroupName
foreach ($member in $members) {
if ($member.objectClass -eq "group") {
$objects += Get-AdGroupMembers -GroupName $member.Name
$objects += @{
"objectclass" = $member.objectClass;
"name" = $member.Name;
"group" = $GroupName
} # foreach
return $objects
} # Get-AdGroupMembers
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$GRP = "Groupname"
$AllMembers = Get-ADGroupMembers -GroupName $GRP
$AllMembers | Foreach-Object {New-Object psobject -Property $_ } | Export-Csv C:\Scripts\Exports\$(get-date -f yyyy-MM-dd-hh-mm-ss)-$GRP.txt –NoTypeInformation -Encoding UTF8
What I'm doing here is I've created a recursive function Get-ADGroupMembers (maybe not the best name) that calls Get-ADGroupMember against the given group. It then gets the members, collects the properties we want and adds them to an array which the function
returns. If there is a group in the group, it will call the function again with this subgroup.
I'm storing the properties you want, objectClass, and Name, as well as the name of the group in a hashtable. The function returns the array of hashtables which I then convert to an object and export to CSV (HT powershell
convert array of hastables into csv).

How do I search a spreadsheet for a list of URL's | then search those URL's for keywords | save the output? (Oh yeah..., and schedule it)

Fist, I should mention I am not a programmer but am eagerly learning powershell!
I am looking for an automated solution to accomplish what I am currently doing manually. I need a script that would combine the following:
Reach out to a list of websites (probably a loop of some sort since the list will come out of a spreadsheet which could contain 1 or 100 different sites)
Search each page for a specific word or words (not contained in the spreadsheet though that may make it more scalable)
Save the URL of the site(s) that contained the keywords to one text file (versus the multiple .html files I am creating today)
Have the output contain which words it found on which site.
If not overly complicated, I would like to schedule this to recur once a week.
A working script would be ideal, but even the resources that show me how to incorporate each element would suffice.
I have had success pulling down the full content of the listed pages and saving them to a directory, which requires manual intervention.
So far this works, but it's not scalable:
     Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
     $web = New-Object Net.WebClient
     $web.DownloadString("http://sosomesite/54321.com") | Out-File "C:\savestuffhere\54321.html"
     $web.DownloadString("http://sosomesite/54321.com") | Out-File "C:\savestuffhere\65432.html"
     Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\savestuffhere\" -Include *.html -Recurse | Select-String -Pattern "Keyword 1"
In otherwords, I have to manually replace the "http://sosomesite/54321.com" and "C:\savestuffhere\54321.html" when the URL changes to .\65432.com and the output name to match. That works fine when it's a couple sites, but again,
is not scalable.
Then, to see if any of the saved file's contain the keyword(s), I have to search the directory for the keyword which I am using:
Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\savestuffhere\54321.html" -Include *.html -Recurse | Select-String -Pattern "Keyword 1"

Hi Sure-man,
Sorry for the delay reply.
To automatically Reach out to all urls, you can list all urls in a txt file "d:\urls.txt" like this:
http://sosomesite/54321.com
http://sosomesite/65432.com
Then please try the script below to save the URL of the site(s) that contained the keywords to one text file "d:\outputurls.txt":
$urls = get-content d:\urls.txt
foreach($url in $urls){
$results = $web.DownloadString("$url")
$matches = $results | Select-String -Pattern "keyword1","keyword2"
#Extract the text of the messages, which are contained in segments that look like keyword1 or keyword2.
if ($matches.Matches){
$Object = New-Object PSObject
$Object | add-member Noteproperty keyword $matches.Matches.value
$Object | add-member Noteproperty URL $url
$output+=$Object}
$output|Out-File d:\outputurls.txt
If you want to schduled this script in Task Scheduler once a week, please save the script above as .ps1 file, and follow this article:
Weekend Scripter: Use the Windows Task Scheduler to Run a Windows PowerShell Script
If I have any misunderstanding, please let me know.
I hope this helps.

How to list the Cert Issuer for all servers in a Domain

Hello,
The objective is to list the Server name and Cert Issuer for any Cert found in the LocalMachine\My store on all servers in a Domain.
Once I'd get to a server, probably by PS remoting, I'd issue the following:
dir cert:\localmachine\my -recurse | ? Issuer -like '*'
However, the output is Thumbprint and Subject, but I really need to see the Issuer, or what is displayed in the Certificates MMC under the 'Issued By' column. What I need in my output is the following:
ComputerName       Issuer
Srv1                       Acme Cert Auth
Srv2                       Host1.Acme.Com
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help! SdeDot

As you might suspect it is even easier than that:
$omputers |
ForEach-Object{
invoke-command -ComputerName $_ -ScriptBlock {dir cert:\localmachine\my -recurse}
} |
select PSComputerName, Issuer
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Indeed.
=]
Both work great!
Thanks for the response and help Mike and Jrv!
Thanks for your help! SdeDot

Enumerate the users that have access to a particular directory

Hi, my name is Jennifer and I have been searching for an answer to my problem through several blogs. The problem is that I have a Directory of which I want to not only retrieve the users\groups that have access to it but also enumerate through the groups
to list actual users. The groups part is the main issue here. If I use get-acl, I can return any number of particular Active Directory groups that have access, however, I need to list the users inside this group and get-acl will not output an object I can
work with. I thought I could do something like this (which I may have seen on this forum before):
get-acl "C:\NestedGroupTest" | %{$_.access} \ ft -property identityreference
This will return the groups\users that have access. Example:
Domain\OU
NT Authority\system
Builtin\users
ETC...
I have tried exporting this output to a file and then trying to use get-adgroupmember (which obviously will not work on the non-AD groups) but the objects are of the wrong type so basically nothing in the Active Directory module will work...
This seems like such a simple issue but it is causing me grief to no end...please help

I can't guarantee that this will work in all cases, but it seems to work on my test domain. Warning: it's very slow and inefficient. It requires
this module (get the 3.0 test version), but you can modify the foreach block's code somewhat to get it to work with Get-Acl.
Get-Item C:\NestedGroupTest | Get-AccessControlEntry | ForEach-Object { $PropertyNames = $null }{
if (-not $PropertyNames) {
# We need to copy the property. This will get a list
# of the properties on each ACE when it encounters
# the first ACE (since the rest of this is so ineffecient,
# we can feel good that we saved some work by doing this)
$PropertyNames = $_ | Get-Member -MemberType Properties | select -exp Name
# Create a new hashtable that will be used to create a PSObject
$NewObjectProps = @{}
foreach ($CurrentProperty in $PropertyNames) {
$NewObjectProps.$CurrentProperty = $_.$CurrentProperty
# Check to see if this SID belongs to an AD group
Write-Verbose ("Current principal: {0}" -f $_.Principal)
try {
$Group = Get-ADGroup -Filter { SID -eq $_.SecurityIdentifier } -ErrorAction Stop
catch {
# Write a warning or something?
if ($Group) {
Write-Verbose " -> Group, so looking up members"
$Users = $Group | Get-ADGroupMember -Recursive | select @{N="Principal"; E={$_.SID.Translate([System.Security.Principal.NTAccount])}}, @{N="SecurityIdentifier"; E={$_.SID}}
else {
Write-Verbose " -> Not an AD group"
$Users = $_ | select Principal, SecurityIdentifier
# Go through each user/non-translated group, modify two
# hashtable properties, and create the new PSObject
$Users | ForEach-Object {
$NewObjectProps.SecurityIdentifier = $_.SecurityIdentifier
$NewObjectProps.Principal = $_.Principal
$NewObject = New-Object PSObject -Property $NewObjectProps
# This will make the new object show the module's custom formatting:
$NewObject.pstypenames.Insert(0, "PowerShellAccessControl.Types.AdaptedAce")
$NewObject
That should resemble the output that Get-AccessControlEntry would give you, but AD groups have been translated to users. If you pipe that to Export-CSV, you'd have plenty of information for each ACE, including the path, principal, security identifier, access
mask, etc. You could also pipe that to Select-Object and just ask for certain properties (try it with these properties: Path, Principal, AccessMask, AccessMaskDisplay, AppliesTo).
You can also use the Get-AccessControlEntry function's parameters to do some filtering on the ACEs that are returned (maybe you only want ACEs with FullControl, or ACEs that were not inherited...)
Give it a shot and let me know if it works for you. If you need more explanation of what's going on in the foreach-object process block, let me know and I'll try to help. It can be modified to work with version 2.1 of my module, and with Get-Acl.

Find & Move files based on csv headers

Hi Everyone,
Basically, I am trying to find locations for those files listed in a csv file. Content of the csv file is shown below:
Name,
filename1.xlsx,
filename2.xlsx,
filename3.xlsx,
And this is my code but I couldn't get it to work!!
$csv=import-csv c:\input.csv
Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Select-Object name, PSPath | where {$_.name -match $cvs.name} | Export-csv c:\output.csv
This code will find files if I replace $cvs.name with a string, I am not very at scripting and hoping anyone who is experienced in PowerShell could provide some advices! Any opinion is appreciated!! Thank you!!

Try this:
$csv = (Import-Csv "c:\input.csv").name
Get-ChildItem -Path ".\*" -Recurse -Force -File -Include $csv |
Select-Object Name, FullName |
Export-csv "c:\output.csv" -NoTypeInformation
Changed items from posted code:
Quoted file path in Import-Csv and Export-Csv statements - best practice
Selected .name property at the $csv assignment line
Use additional paramters in the Get-ChilItem cmdlet to filter on the file names in the $csv variable
Picked FullName instead of PSPath in the Select statement
Variable name was misspelled in the Where statement, but the entire statement has been removed
Removed Type Information from Export-Csv statement

Get-ADGroupMember runing issue

Hi guys
I am just trying some basic AD scripts, but got some problem with Get-ADGroupMember
I am trying to get a list of users in a group, including every subgroup in that group. Then I want to display samaccountname, Full Name and group they are in.
Tried to run some basic command
import-module activedirectory

When executed, I get this:

How do I get it to work? Using PS 3

Hi,
I'm not getting the error you do, but you can try the Quest AD powershell module.
http://www.quest.com/powershell/activeroles-server.aspx
if((get-pssnapin "Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement" -erroraction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null)
{add-pssnapin "Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement"}
Get-qadgroupmember "domain admins" -indirect | select-object name,samaccountname
Hope this helps.

Filter Get-ChildItem on TargetPath?

With Get-ChildItem is it possible to filter on a shortcut's TargetPath? I did a Get-Member on a shortcut and I don't see anything there that looks promising, so I am filtering to just get shortcuts, then looping and evaluating
if (($Shell.CreateShortcut($Shortcut.FullName)).TargetPath -eq $Document)
where $Document is the TargetPath I am looking for. And it works. But I wonder if there is a pipeline way to do it, rather than the loop?

Hi Gordon,
I'm afraid not, because the "$Shell.CreateShortcut" doesn't accept array, and we also can't find the targetpath information with the cmdlet "Get-Childitem", so the foreach seems a good way:
Get-ChildItem d:\*lnk -Recurse|Select-Object -ExpandProperty fullname|foreach{
$Shortcut = New-Object -COM WScript.Shell
$Shortcut.CreateShortcut($_).TargetPath}

Forgive the following, as you may consider it off-topic and a bit of a rant. There is no LastLogonDate attribute in AD. Just as there is no FirstName, LastName, or EmailAddress attribute (and lots of other things exposed by PowerShell). I have
been searching for documentation on these "properties" and have found little yet. I believe these are what I would call property methods. They are methods that calculate values based on actual AD attributes. For example, the AccountExpirationDate property
method converts the accountExpires attribute (a large integer) into the equivalent date in the local time zone. In that case, a lot of code must be involved and it is very useful. Some cases are easy to understand. The FirstName "property" exposed by the DirectoryEntry
class is clearly the value of the givenName attribute. The LastName property method displays the value of the sn attribute. But I cannot find documentation on what LastLogonDate is. By testing I conclude that it is the value of the lastLogonTimeStamp
attribute converted into a date. In the interests of being "user friendly", Microsoft has obscured things so nobody knows whats going on. New admins will think users are identified by "Name", and they have FirstName and LastName attributes. If I
am correct that the LastLogonDate property method is the date equivalent of the lastLogonTimeStamp attribute (a large integer), then it will be accurate to within 14 days (in most cases). Assuming Windows 2003 functional level or above, the value of the lastLogonTimeStamp
is updated during logon only if the old value is more than 14 days in the past, then the new value is replicated to all other DC's. If instead LastLogonDate is based on the lastLogon attribute, then it is undoubtedly the value on only one DC. The
lastLogon attribute is always updated during logon, but only on the DC that authenticates the user, and the value is not replicated.
If someone has seen documentation on LastLogonDate as exposed by Get-ADUser, could you supply a link?

The code is in error. There is no LastLogonDate.
This works:
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties mail,description, company, LastLogon
The whole question is hokey. It appears to be a fishing trip to get a solution.
Grant has the answer as best it can be offered for the lameness of the question.
