Regarding Data Base Select Query

Hi All,
          I want to extract the data from data base into my internal table
          by not giving the exact value but the pattern.
          Ex) I want to select the vendor starting with patter '12*'
                from LFA table in my internal table.
          Which select Query I should use for getting the
          Vendor No. starting with pattern '12*' ?.
          Points will be rewaded.
          Thanks in Advance.
With Regards
Jitendra Gujarathi.

Hi jitendra,
1. simple
2.
select * from lfa1
into table lfa1
where lifnr like '12%'.

select distinct
          field1
           field2
..... like this ,it wasnt excuted.
how can i avoid this issue.
in program not much logic is there,only fetching the data and summation,n display.....
plz giv me reply asap.

Order mismatch in selected data using Select query

Hello Experts,
We are upgrading from 4.6C to ECC6. I came across a select query on a custom table, which gives different order of data from 4.6C to ECC6. Data (no. of records) is same in both the servers but order is different. Table doesn't have indexes in either 4.6C or ECC6. What would be the cause for order change?
Further, in 4,6C, ECC6 and data bases order of the data is totally different. Select query have some conditions in where clause with select options, but in both the cases (4.6C and ECC6) I am not passing any data from the selection screen so am getting entire data from the data base.
Thanks in advance
Phalani

From the SAP service market place I found that
1. Unless we use SORT or ORDER BY clause the order of the data is not in our control.
2. In 4.6C, two same select queries never give the result in the same order, if the primary key contains character fields.
Thanks for your help.

Comparing dates in select query.

Hi Experts,
I need to select data from one table such that the date field of the table should be either today's date or earlier date.
How can I write such comparison statement in select query.

hi,
select * from <your_table>
where <date_field> <= sy-datum.
endselect .

Hi,
To decrease the load on DB ,you can process Group by and SUM functions in Loop Endloop of resulting table.
Avoid using Subqueries with not condition.I read ,NOT compromises the index and starts linear search.
There are already many discussions on usage on For all entries and Join .So search forum for more details.
The performance of join and For all entries are context oriented.
SELECT a~exnum
a~exyear
a~exdat
a~rdoc2

Regarding "select query" on performance basis..

Hi Experts,
I am creating an ALV report,so that i have to collect all data in 1 internal table.
I have to collect data from 3 standard tables i.e.T157E,MSEG,MKPF.
For all entries of T157E, i have to fetch data from MSEG.
But in where condition i have to give POSTING DATE n this field is in MKPF.
Also Database performance analysis is around 98%.
How can i give better performance, please help..

Before you use
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN
Do the following :
1. Sort the Internal table used in the 'FOR ALL ENTRIES IN' clause.
2. Make sure they do not contain duplicates.
3. Last and most importantly include a primary key field(Unique entry) in the select list. The reason, the system gets unique field records based on the where condition. It summarizes the data based on the Data type and field list in the target internal table.
One should be sure the internal table, used in the FOR ALL ENTRIES clause is not empty. If the table is empty, ALL ENTRIES will be selected. (Actually, all WHERE clauses are neglected). Of course, you should also be sure you select on INDEX fields. Otherwise the use of FOR ALL ENTRIES increases the runtime instead of improving it.

Performance problem in select data from data base

hello all,
could you please suggest me which select statement is good for fetch data form data base if data base contain more than 10 lac records.
i am using SELECT PACKAGE SIZE n statement, but it's taking lot of time .
with best regards
srinivas rathod

Hi Srinivas,
if you have huge data and selecting ,you could decrease little bit time if you use better techniques.
I do not think SELECT PACKAGE SIZE will give good performance
see the below examples :
ABAP Code Samples for Simple Performance Tuning Techniques
1. Query including select and sorting functionality
tables: mara, mast.
    data: begin of itab_new occurs 0,
             matnr like mara-matnr,
             ernam like mara-ernam,
             mtart like mara-mtart,
             matkl like mara-matkl,
             werks like mast-werks,
           aenam like mast-aenam,
stlal like mast-stlal,
     end of itab_new.
select fmatnr fernam fmtart fmatkl gwerks gaenam g~stlal
into table itab_new from mara as f inner join mast as g on
fmatnr = gmatnr where gstlal = '01' order by fernam.
Code B
tables: mara, mast.
data: begin of itab_new occurs 0,
      matnr like mara-matnr,
      ernam like mara-ernam,
      mtart like mara-mtart,
      matkl like mara-matkl,
      werks like mast-werks,
      aenam like mast-aenam,
      stlal like mast-stlal,
end of itab_new.
select fmatnr fernam fmtart fmatkl gwerks gaenam g~stlal
into table itab_new from mara as f inner join mast as g on f~matnr =
gmatnr where gstlal = '01'.
sort itab_new by ernam.
Both the above codes essentially do the same function, but the execution time for code B is considerably lesser than that of Code A. Reason: The Order by clause associated with a select statement increases the execution time of the statement, so it is profitable to sort the internal table once after selecting the data.
2. Performance Improvement Due to Identical Statements Execution Plan
Consider the below queries and their levels of efficiencies is saving the execution
tables: mara, mast.
data: begin of itab_new occurs 0,
      matnr like mara-matnr,
      ernam like mara-ernam,
      mtart like mara-mtart,
      matkl like mara-matkl,
      werks like mast-werks,
      aenam like mast-aenam,
      stlal like mast-stlal,
end of itab_new.
select fmatnr fernam fmtart fmatkl gwerks gaenam g~stlal
into table itab_new from mara as f inner join mast as g on f~matnr =
gmatnr where gstlal = '01' .
sort itab_new.
select fmatnr fernam
fmtart fmatkl gwerks gaenam g~stlal
into table itab_new from mara as
f inner join mast as g on f~matnr =
gmatnr where gstlal
= '01' .
Code D (Identical Select Statements)
tables: mara, mast.
data: begin of itab_new occurs 0,
      matnr like mara-matnr,
      ernam like mara-ernam,
      mtart like mara-mtart,
      matkl like mara-matkl,
      werks like mast-werks,
      aenam like mast-aenam,
      stlal like mast-stlal,
end of itab_new.
select fmatnr fernam fmtart fmatkl gwerks gaenam g~stlal
into table itab_new from mara as f inner join mast as g on f~matnr =
gmatnr where gstlal = '01' .
sort itab_new.
select fmatnr fernam fmtart fmatkl gwerks gaenam g~stlal
into table itab_new from mara as f inner join mast as g on f~matnr =
gmatnr where gstlal = '01' .
Both the above codes essentially do the same function, but the execution time for code B is considerably lesser than that of Code A. Reason: Each SQL statement during the process of execution is converted into a series of database operation phases. In the second phase of conversion (Prepare phase) an execution plan is determined for the current SQL statement and it is stored, if in the program any identical select statement is used, then the same execution plan is reused to save time. So retain the structure of the select statement as the same when it is used more than once in the program.
3. Reducing Parse Time Using Aliasing
A statement which does not have a cached execution plan should be parsed before execution; this parsing phase is a highly time and resource consuming, so parsing time for any sql query must include an alias name in it for the following reason.
1.     Providing the alias name will enable the query engine to resolve the tables to which the specified fields belong to.
2.     Providing a short alias name, (a single character alias name) is more efficient that providing a big alias name.
Code E
select jmatnr jernam jmtart jmatkl
gwerks gaenam g~stlal into table itab_new from mara as
j inner join mast as g on jmatnr = gmatnr where
            g~stlal = '01' .
In the above code the alias name used is j .
4. Performance Tuning Using Order by Clause
If in a SQL query you are going to read a particular database record based on some key values mentioned in the select statement, then the read query can be very well optimized by ordering the fields in the same order in which we are going to read them in the read query.
Code F
tables: mara, mast.
data: begin of itab_new occurs 0,
      matnr like mara-matnr,
      ernam like mara-ernam,
      mtart like mara-mtart,
      matkl like mara-matkl,
      end of itab_new.
select MATNR ERNAM MTART MATKL from mara into table itab_new where
MTART = 'HAWA' ORDER BY MATNR ERNAM MTART MATKL.
read table itab_new with key MATNR = 'PAINT1'   ERNAM = 'RAMANUM'
MTART = 'HAWA'   MATKL = 'OFFICE'.
Code G
tables: mara, mast.
data: begin of itab_new occurs 0,
      matnr like mara-matnr,
      ernam like mara-ernam,
      mtart like mara-mtart,
      matkl like mara-matkl,
      end of itab_new.
select MATNR ERNAM MTART MATKL from mara into table itab_new where
MTART = 'HAWA' ORDER BY ERNAM MATKL MATNR MTART.
read table itab_new with key MATNR = 'PAINT1'   ERNAM = 'RAMANUM'
MTART = 'HAWA'   MATKL = 'OFFICE'.
In the above code F, the read statement following the select statement is having the order of the keys as MATNR, ERNAM, MTART, MATKL. So it is less time intensive if the internal table is ordered in the same order as that of the keys in the read statement.
5. Performance Tuning Using Binary Search
A very simple but useful method of fine tuning performance of a read statement is using Binary search addition to it. If the internal table consists of more than 20 entries then the traditional linear search method proves to be more time intensive.
Code H
select * from mara into corresponding fields of table intab.
sort intab.
read table intab with key matnr = '11530' binary search.
Code I
select * from mara into corresponding fields of table intab.
sort intab.

Regarding select query Issue

Hi ABAPERS,
I had written one written one 'select single' query to retrieve the data from PRPS table.
but what the data was selecting for OBJNR (Object number)field based on PSPNR(WBS element) .
That OBJNR values in the report is totally different from the database table OBJNR values.How its possible
I am not getting.So can anyone please help me regarding this...
Thanks and Regards
Deepa

Hi deepa,
Pass the values to the select query where clause as you can see the values in SE16 display.(This is external format)
If a table field as conversion routine, then SAP dosplay some thing on screen and store some thing else in data base.
To check conversion exit go to domain of that field. Here you can see the routine used.
For example you can check domain MATNR. Externally it display with leading zeros. But internally it stores with out zeros.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Select query taking too much time to fetch data from pool table a005

Dear all,
I am using 2 pool table a005 and a006 in my program. I am using select query to fetch data from these table. i.e. example is mentioned below.
select * from a005 into table t_a005 for all entries in it_itab
                   where vkorg in s_vkorg
                   and     matnr in s_matnr
                   and     aplp   in s_aplp
                   and     kmunh = it_itab-kmunh.
here i can't create index also as tables are pool table...If there is any solutions , than please help me for same..
Thanks ,

it would be helpful to know what other fields are in the internal table you are using for the FOR ALL ENTRIES.
In general, you should code the order of your fields in the select in the same order as they appear in the database. If you do not have the top key field, then the entire database is read. If it's large then it's going to take a lot of time. The more key fields from the beginning of the structure that you can supply at faster the retrieval.
