SELECT * FROM table WHERE id NOT IN? Help with statement.

Hi,
Two tables. Orders (orderID = PK) and Paid Orders (orderID =
FK)
I want to display a recordset of orders from the Orders table
where the
order ID doesn't appear in the Paid Orders table.
I have tried something like this:
SELECT *
FROM dbo.tblOrders
WHERE orderID NOT IN ( SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT
tblPaidOrders.orderID FROM
dbo.tblPaidOrders )
...no joy with that though. Would appreciate some guidance.
Thank you.
Regards
Nath.

Hi Nancy,
Before I begin that, can I ask if there is an issue with the
OR?
I need it to be:
(orderID IN (SELECT qryPaidOrders.orderID FROM qryPaidOrders)
ORDER BY
orderdate ASC) AND ((customerid = MMColParam1) OR (vanopID =
MMColParam2))
MMColParam1 is exactly the same as MMColParam but, for some
reason
unbeknowns to me, DW8.0.2 won't allow me to use it twice.
That's neither
here nor there though, as creating a 2nd variable
(MMColParam2) solves that
particular issue.
Do I need additional ( ) anywhere considering it is an OR
though?
Thanks.
nath.

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.

Can I simulate SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE ROW IN (1111,2222) using SQLJ

I have a fct like
public void fct(String inStr) {
String str = "SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE ROW IN" + inStr;
// then I xecute the query using JDBC connection
But I want to do the same thisn using SQLJ like:
public void fct(String inStr) {
#sql [nctx] iter = { SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE ROW IN :inStr}
When I run the second version and give a parameter like "(1111,2222)" it gives
ORA-01722: invalid number error.
Is there a way to give parameters to in clauses of SQLJ statements.
Thanks in regard.

This is a SQLJ FAQ. You can find the FAQ at:
http://technet.oracle.com/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/faq.html
Your question is addressed in the following section:
http://technet.oracle.com/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/faq.html#variablesizevaluelist
Note that that section has a typo. The lines:
? // populate mynumbers
#sql { SELECT * FROM tab WHERE col in (:(a[0]),:(a[1]),?};
should read:
... // populate mynumbers
#sql { SELECT * FROM tab WHERE col in (:(a[0]),:(a[1]),...};
By the way, with the next release SQLJ will support pasting in of dynamic SQL fragments. Then you'll be able to do pretty much what you are trying to accomplish here (albeit with slightly different syntax). Until then you'd have to use the workarounds from the FAQ.

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.

Reason behind this query ,SELECT * FROM table WHERE 1 0

HEllo,
I would like to know the reason behind using this query ,
SELECT * FROM <table> WHERE 1 < 0
before executing the actual SQL query.
Is there any special reason or the JDBC receiver side is configured like that.
Is there any option to overcome this process like, can we remove this option or stop using this.
Why the JDBC adapter basically sending this query on the DB?
Thanks,
Soorya,

Hi,
if you run this query, you wont be able to see any records of the table.
SELECT * FROM <table> WHERE 1 < 0
if you run this query you will see all records
SELECT * FROM <table> WHERE 0 < 1
same with SELECT * FROM <table> WHERE 1=1
So you can check this out that whats happening in your code before executing actual query. just try to co-relate.

SELECT FROM tab WHERE co varname -PLEASE HELP

Hi
I am trying to use a select query where col1 > 3. Instead of 3 i HAVE to use a variable name . Im getting data type mismatch in criteria expression error when i use this code:
String query ="SELECT * FROM MEMBERS WHERE M_ID > '" + myvar + "' ";
Please note that i tried using myvar as a String, int and even as a long - all in vain - resulted in same error.
What am i doing wrong in that piece of code please?
THANKS LODES
sabcarina

ok thanks . like YOU said this worked:
String query= "SELECT * FROM MEMBERS WHERE M_ID >" + myvar;
So please i need to LEARN the need for single quotes in the SQL queries:
What is it used for and why ? i mean i know it is for Strings but why do we need to enclose these varnames in single quotes?
THANKS A MILLION

Newbie Select * FROM table where IF Numeric else something else

I have a text on a web page. If one can enter an EMPLOYID ( like 55 ) or
lastname like 'SMITH'.
I tried using INSTR and Substr but no avail.
Select *
from Atable
WHERE
IF SUBSTR(myfield,1,1)="0" OR
IF SUBSTR(myfield,1,1)="1" OR
etc.
EMPID=to_number(myfield)
ELSE
Upper(Lastname) like Upper(myfield)
Suggestions?
TIA
Steve

Yes myfield could be either "55" OR it could be "SMITH"
Otherwise I would have to have 2 textboxes on the web page.
One for EmployeeID and one for lastname.
Thanks.

Select from table where last character in string is numeric

Hello,
I have a table STREETS with a field called ADDRESS. I would like to select all records from streets where the last character in Address is a number.
Select ADDRESS from STREETS where regexp_like(substr(address, ?,?,), '[0-9]');
--? means that I don't know what to put in here!
I'm not sure if substr is the best approach for this, since i only want the last character and the records are of varying lengths.
Thanks!

Hi,
If you want to use regular expressions:
WHERE     REGEXP_LIKE ( address
              , '[0-9]$'
              )You can get the same results, probably more efficiently, without regular expressions:
WHERE     INSTR ( '0123456789'
           , SUBSTR (address, -1)
           )     > 0

Select * from TABLE where Filed like pa_input.

Hello,
the following works fine
select * from ZTABLE INTO wa_myarea WHERE myfield LIKE 'a%'.
Now I don't want to hard code the selection criteria for myfield, but let the user select one, so I did:
parameters pa_input type mytype.
select * from ZTABLE INTO wa_myarea WHERE myfield LIKE pa_input.
If the user enters now for example a% everything works again fine. But I assume that a user rather would enter a* for a wild card search and that doesn't work. Do I have to manually replace all * in my variable with % before I run the select statement? I hope not... What would be the best way?
Thanks.

Select from table where field contains the first 3 character

The value of the field contains leading zeros like 0000000123, 0000001123, 0000011123.
Now we need to check the table for entries that contains the first three characters excluding the zeros.
If we are looking for '123' then we should be retrieving 0000000123 and not 0000001123 or 0000011123.
Is there a way to get that value in SQL statement with only the exact result?
Thanks.

Hello Adjhan,
Yes, you need not use LIKE.
You can use CONVERSION EXIT. I see that the length of your data is CHAR10.
So try to use the code i have suggested & revert back if any doubts.
@Soumyaprakash:
If read the original post carefully, the OP has said:
If we are looking for '123' then we should be retrieving 0000000123 and not 0000001123 or 0000011123.
So LIKE does not come into the picture.

Hi Jagan, all;
   Thanks for the reply. It works. Now Im grouping again my reports based on status.
    my records would be.

My first group would be Status , then by NsndCol
However my report shows             Active             FstCol    NsndCol             3            One       Inactive             1            One
but I want only record number 3 having 3 as the max id for One, I just want to ignore about the Status but I need to group my records based on status also
             FstCol    NsndCol             3            One

Delete records from tableA which are not in tableB

Table A contains milions of records which is the best way to delete records from tableA which are not in tableB
delete from tableA where empno not in (select empno from tableb)
or
delete from tableA where empno not exists (select empno from tableb
where b.empno=a.empno)
any help

Hi
If you can do this, do with this:
create table tableC
as select a.*
from tableA a,
(select empno from tableA
minus
select empno from tableB) b
where a.empno = b.empno;
drop table tableA;
rename table tableC to tableA;

Can not select from my own MV. Please help.

Hello Gurus,
I have created a MV with following clauses
CREATE or REPLACE MATERIALIZED VIEW "OWNER_NAME1"."MV_Name1"
BUILD IMMEDIATE
USING INDEX
REFRESH COMPLETE
AS
SELECT column1, column2 .... from table1,table2
where .....
I have logged in to DB with the 'owner_name1' schema itself which is the owner of the MV.
But, when I try to select from the above MV. It gives error "Ora-00942 table or view does not exist"
I can see the same under 'user_objects' view as an object of owner_name1 schema.
Could you please help me in understanding where I have gone wrong?
DB - Oracle 9i on unix platform.
Thanks in advance!
Abhijit.

Oh! I missed to mention the exact steps followed by me which created error for me,
viz.
1) I have 2 Database and their users as follows
bq. i) DB1 in local server - 'localUser'
bq. ii) DB2 in remote server - 'RemoteUser1' and 'RemoteUser2'
2) 'RemoteUser2' user in DB2 has 'select' privilage on table 'RemoteTable1' of 'RemoteUser1' ( both are remote DB's users ! )
i.e. select * from RemoteUser1.RemoteTable1; --works okay when logged into RemoteUser2. no synonyms are created hence using schema_name.table_name convention.
3) Logged in to 'localUser' in DB1.
4) Created a DB link 'local_to_remote2' in 'localUser' schema ( in DB1) to 'RemoteUser2' schema (in DB2)
i.e.
create database link local_to_remote2 connect to RemoteUser2 identified by password using 'connection_string';
DBLink was created successfully.
5) I could select from the tables of 'RemoteUser2' using DB Link. (by logging in to 'localUser')
i.e. select * from RemoteUser1.RemoteTable1@local_to_remote2 ; --- gives me expected output. no issues!
6) Now, I created below MV in 'localUser' ( no need to tell in 'DB1' )
the exact syntax I used is as follows,
CREATE or REPLACE MATERIALIZED VIEW "localUser"."MV_Name1"
BUILD IMMEDIATE
USING INDEX
REFRESH COMPLETE
AS
SELECT column1, column2
From RemoteUser1.RemoteTable1@local_to_remote2
where condition1
and condition2;
The MV was created successfully, and I could see it as an 'Valid' object of 'localUser' schema.
i.e. select * from user_objects where object_name ='MV_NAME1' and status ='VALID' --- tells that above create MV is an object of owner 'localUser'
But, when I try to select from the said MV. it gives me error "Ora-00942 table or view does not exist"
i.e. select * from MV_Name1; ---- neither this
select * from localUser.MV_Name1; ---- nor this works :(
Even when I try to drop the same MV it gives me same error. :(
Could you please suggest me anything so that I will be able to select from MY OWN MV ?
Please help Gurus.

Respect the forum rules and common sense, and you will be respected.
"how to select data from a database table when the field is blank" is very basic, and basic questions will be locked, because they have been asked many times and you can find the answer yourself with a little effort. There is nothing disrespectful about it.
