Select from table in group of columns and generate a sequence number

I have to select data from a table in group of columns and generate a sequence for every group resetting the sequence to start from 1 onwards.
For example:
Data:
Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4
A NA KA 2009-08-13
B NA KA 2009-08-13
C NA KA 2009-08-13
A NA KA 2009-08-13
B NA KA 2009-08-13
A NA KA 2009-08-13
Expected output from Select Statement:
Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Seq_No
A NA KA 2009-08-13 1
A NA KA 2009-08-13 2
A NA KA 2009-08-13 3
B NA KA 2009-08-13 1
B NA KA 2009-08-13 2
C NA KA 2009-08-13 1
How can this be possible with a SELECT statement? Is it possible to assign seq numbers for a group of columns and reset it when it changes? In the above example, all columns form the key to generate the seq number
I know it can be done using Stored procedures and that is how I am doing it now by introducing a temporary table.
Can anyone help me in this regard? Please let me know if the question is vague to understand!
Thanks,
Nachi

with t as(select 'A' col1,'NA' col2 ,'KA' col3,'2009-08-13' col4 from dual

select t.*,row_number() over (partition by col1,col2,col3,col4 order by col1,col2,col3,col4) from tYou can replace partition by col1,col2,col3,col4 with only columns that you need for grouping condition
and also order by you can just do on the column you need.

How to achieve that "SELECT * FROM table WHERE age BETWEEN 18 AND 23 AND n"

How to achieve the SQL like that "SELECT * FROM table WHERE age BETWEEN 18 AND 23 AND name = 'Will' " with BDB C-API
The primary key in the primary database is 'age' ,and the secondary key in the secondary index is 'name' ,in a lot of examples ,there are all simple , but how to do that complex one.thx~

but this means that the prepared statement is created
each time I call my method and so I'm not sure that
the optimizer will find it easy to cope with.You are right, the optimizer won't find that easy to deal with (presuming that is even relevant for your driver/database.) But most optimizers won't do anything with statements that change and that is what you are doing.
You could create several prepared statements which have a common number of bind variables. For example 10 statements with from 1 to 10 bind values. This will work if most of the queries use those.

Select from table without specifying the column list.

I want to reference the columns in select list without specifing the column name of a table.
For example i am having a table called emp(id number,name varchar2(30)).
I want to write a query which will display the name of the employees.
But i don't want to specify the column name in the select list.
Can anybody help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance.

I want to write a query which will display the name
of the employees.
But i don't want to specify the column name in the

One way to display the names of the employees without specifying that you want the names of the employees would be
select * from emp

Assuming you're using SQL Server you can ask here:
http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=23
Otherwise, please ask in the relevant forum for the type of technology you're using.
Basically it's either:
select *
from [table name]
order by country
If you want to do something with groups do something like:
select (max) income, country
from [table name]
group by country

Sample data above and below is the dataype for each one of them
alpha datatype- string
beta datatype-integer
gamma datatype-integer
col1,col2,col3 are all string datatypes.
Note:columns are not unique and we would be using alpha,beta,gamma to uniquely identify a record .Now as you see my sample data this is in a table which doesnt have index .I would like to have a index created covering these columns (alpha,beta,gamma) .I
beleive that creating clustered index having covering columns will be better.
What would you recommend the index type should be here in this case.Say data volume is 1 milion records and we always use the alpha,beta,gamma columns when we filiter or query records
what index is suitable for a table with no unique columns and primary key?
col1
col2
col3
Mudassar

Many thanks for your explanation .
When I tried querying using the below query on my heap table the sql server suggested to create NON CLUSTERED INDEX INCLUDING columns ,[beta],[gamma] ,[col1]
,[col2] ,[col3]
SELECT [alpha]
,[beta]
,[gamma]
,[col1]
,[col2]
,[col3]
FROM [TEST].[dbo].[Test]
where [alpha]='10100'
My question is why it didn't suggest Clustered INDEX and chose NON clustered index ?

Select from table containing clob

If i try to select from table containing clob column in SQL PLus it gives error.
Tab1 contains 3 clob columns and 1 blob column
select * from tab 1;
SP2-0678: Column or attribute type can not be displayed by SQL*Plus
The same statement works in SQL Developer and I am able to see the result.
Actually i am writing the queries and they will be used by Java developers in their JSP page.
So what happens here? Can Java use these select statements or will it throw error like SQL Plus?

BLOB column content can't be displayed in SQL*Plus:
SQL> create table t_blob (b blob);
Table created.
SQL> edit
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1* insert into t_blob values('01')
SQL> /
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select * from t_blob;
SP2-0678: Column or attribute type can not be displayed by SQL*PlusBlob and clob columns content can be processed using DBMS_LOB
package procedures and functions or using client's language (like Java)
methods. See JDBC specification.

Select * from table not working with Oracle OBDC driver

Hello,
In our web development we have been using the MS ODBC for Oracle
driver to connect to our Oracle db. We decided to try the
Oracle ODBC driver because it supports the commandTimeout
property in ASP which the MS driver does not. The problem I'm
running into now is that all of our select * from table
statements appear not to be working. The Oracle ODBC driver
version we are using is ver 8.00.05.00. Is there something that
I'm not doing properly? If I take the same select * from table
statement and name the columns, I dont get any error. Otherwise
I'm getting a Subscript out of range error. It seems strange to
me that this driver would not support a select * from table
statement (which I''m told is the case by another developer
here).
Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks,
Pete

I'm positive I have a connection. Otherwise I wouldn't get a
response when I name the columns instead of using *.
There must be something else that I'm missing or doing wrong.
I've actually been looking into alternative ODBC drivers to see
if I have the same problems but none that I have found support
commandTimeout.
Any other ideas?

Select * from table where rownum 5; no rows returned? why is it so?

select from table where rownum > 5;*
no rows returned. why is it so?
can anyone explain me?

Hi,
rownum is pseudo column, and it is based on the sort order.
For ex, if you want to get the first 5 employees who get the least salary, you use,
select ename,sal from
    (select ename, sal
     from emp
     order by sal )
    where rownum<=5
ENAME      SAL
SMITH      800
ALLEN1     890
JAMES      951
TURNER     998
ADAMS      1100Suppose, if you want to use highest salary, you change the order by and not the rownum. So, it becomes,
select ename,sal from
    (select ename, sal
     from emp
     order by sal desc)
    where rownum<=5
ENAME      SAL
KING1      5000
FORD       3000
SCOTT      3000
JONES      2975
BLAKE      2850 So, its not the rownum you would want to change, but the order by.

Is select from view faster then select from table..???

Hello Gurus,
I want to query some data from two tables, both of table have many columns (attributes) and many rows...
I use several where clauses to retrieve data from those tables..
witch one is faster, I create a view or I just "select" from those tables???
Regards.

Views are simply queries and like queries there are fast and slow ones.I disagree.
First of all, to use a view you are executing a query to get a result set, then accessing the data from that result set - a built-in extra step to perform to get data.First of all that entire explanation of how views work is not correct. The optimizer will rewrite the query to make the view go away if possible.

Second, when accessing the data from the view the result sets don't have indexes for fast lookups and efficient joins on later steps.This is also known as just making stuff up and is not how the database works. care to share any references at all for any of this?
>
Third, the systems I've seen that use views extensively - I am looking at one now - tend to perform joins on views using the same tables with the same data over and over. This is a design issue and not specifically a problem with views but they lend themselves to this misuse much too easilyCorrect as I said a view is just a query, and just like queries there are good fast views and bad slow views

I'll concede that the problem is not specifically with views themselves but as I just said they lend themselves to misuse. Tuning views of views and views joined to views is difficultYes, queries can be misused as can almost all SQL functions and functionality.

Nothing that you have posted that is accurate changes that.

How to get sum amount (wrbtr) from table BSIS group by gjahr hkont monat

Hello! I am new to this forum, and to ABAP. Hope my question is not obvious.
I want to get sum amount from table BSIS, group by year, period an account. Normally I will try a SQL select like this:
SELECT gjahr monat hkont sum( wrbtr ) as wrbtr INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab FROM BSIS WHERE (itabcond) GROUP BY gjahr monat hkont .
The problem is that the amount in field wrbtr is all positive. The result gets wrong. The debet/credit indicator shkzg determines what is positive/negative. How to solve this in the most efficient way? Should I read all accounting documents into an internal table, and loop through them, changing the sign, and then make some new select, or is there a better way?
Regards Dag-Egil

Here are the objects in the trace list:

SKAT
SKB1
BSIS
PRPS
BSAS
V_LTDX
USR02
RFBLG
V_LTDX
LTDX
RTXTH
RTXTF
RTXTT
TRDIR
The most of this call to this tables returns 1-2 records, apart from BSIS, where it returns 10 records. This is the same as accounting documents in the transaction FBL3N. When i try this again with more records returned I still have no call to table GLT0.

Html form for select * from table a

Hi all,
I m looking for report on header/footer part from one apex pages
which will display context from table a, like sql statement
select * from table a, written in html.
Is any examples in java script/html select from tables
(and same insert into table A (...) select * from table b)
thanks,
Gordan

Hello Gordan,
Do you want to show the whole report or just some data of it?
If it's for ex just the name and address you could create two items and have a process or computation to fill it with your select statement.
If it's the whole report, just create the report and put it in for ex. Region 1. In your page template you can specify that Region 1 needs to come into the footer.
Regards,
Dimitri

What is actually throwing the NullPointerException? rs.getMetaData() or table.setModel()?

How do I do SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE KEY IN ({list})?

The title says it all really.
Is there a reasonable performant way to perform the query
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE KEY IN ({list})where {list} is String []?
I am currently creating a PreparedStatement with a for loop like this StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer ("SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE ID IN (");
for (int ii=0;ii<keys.length;ii++) {
sb.append (keys [ii]);
if (ii != keys.length-1) sb.append (",");
sb.append (")");but this means that the prepared statement is created each time I call my method and so I'm not sure that the optimizer will find it easy to cope with. Is there a construction that I'm missing along the lines of SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE KEY = ? where I can create the PreparedStatement once and just call setObject or something on it when the values in {list} change?

but this means that the prepared statement is created
each time I call my method and so I'm not sure that
the optimizer will find it easy to cope with.You are right, the optimizer won't find that easy to deal with (presuming that is even relevant for your driver/database.) But most optimizers won't do anything with statements that change and that is what you are doing.
You could create several prepared statements which have a common number of bind variables. For example 10 statements with from 1 to 10 bind values. This will work if most of the queries use those.
