SELECT in SELECT returning multiple columns ?

10.2.0.3 version.
I am trying to tune this query
SELECT A.EMPLID, A.EFFDT, A.ACAD_PROG,
(SELECT A1.DESCR FROM PS_ACAD_PROG_TBL A1
WHERE A1.INSTITUTION = 'AUAO1' AND A1.ACAD_PROG = A.ACAD_PROG AND A1.EFFDT = (SELECT MAX (EFFDT) FROM PS_ACAD_PROG_TBL WHERE INSTITUTION = A1.INSTITUTION AND ACAD_PROG = A1.ACAD_PROG),
(SELECT A2.DESCRSHORT FROM PS_ACAD_PROG_TBL A2
WHERE A2.INSTITUTION = 'AUAO1' AND A2.ACAD_PROG = A.ACAD_PROG AND A2.EFFDT = (SELECT MAX (EFFDT) FROM PS_ACAD_PROG_TBL WHERE INSTITUTION = A2.INSTITUTION AND ACAD_PROG = A2.ACAD_PROG),
as you can see it reading the table PS_ACAD_PROG_TBL two time to get two cloumns DESCR (alias A1) and DESCRSHORT (alias A2) exactly with the same where condition.
I am trying to replace it with just one select returning multiple columns like this
SELECT A.EMPLID, A.EFFDT, A.ACAD_PROG,
(SELECT A1.DESCR, A1.DESCRSHORT FROM PS_ACAD_PROG_TBL A1
WHERE A1.INSTITUTION = 'AUAO1' AND A1.ACAD_PROG = A.ACAD_PROG AND A1.EFFDT = (SELECT MAX (EFFDT) FROM PS_ACAD_PROG_TBL WHERE INSTITUTION = A1.INSTITUTION AND ACAD_PROG = A1.ACAD_PROG),
but I am getting ORA-00913: too many values.
Please help on how to get around this. Thanks in advance.

William,

Select function that returns multiple columns.

Currently I have a function that will return 1 column and I can use that in a select statement. What I need is to return multiple columns from a table. In the function I have I return the street address from a table that holds information about dealers, I need to be able to also return the columns that contain the city, state, and zip code so it can be used in an sql select statement. How would I do this?
My function:
FUNCTION GET_ADDRESS(dealer_id IN number)
RETURN tbl_dealer_info.c_street%TYPE AS
v_rc tbl_dealer_info.c_street%TYPE;
CURSOR get_dealer_cur IS
SELECT c_street
FROM tbl_dealer_info
WHERE n_dealer_id = dealer_id;
BEGIN
v_rc := NULL;
OPEN get_dealer_cur;
FETCH get_dealer_cur INTO v_rc;
IF get_dealer_cur%NOTFOUND THEN
NULL;
END IF;
CLOSE get_dealer_cur;
RETURN v_rc;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RETURN NULL;
END GET_ADDRESS;
My select statement:
select GET_ADDRESS(1205) Street, DI.n_inactive_flag, DI.n_onhold_flag
from tbl_dealer_info DI
where DI.n_dealer_id = 1205;
I would like to be able to select the street, city, state, and zip all in this select statement from the GET_ADDRESS function.
Thanks,

"The reality is you've probably already put your blinders on and you won't learn the best approach to solving your problem because you insist on asking a courtroom style question (just "yes" or "no" please)."
Actually, I asked this question because I was looking for the best approach to my problem. I have an SQL statement that correctly selects everything it needs to from all 15 tables. The thing of it is it is very long and difficult to read. I wanted to try using functions so that I could change 12 AND/OR statements into 3 IF statements so everything is easier to read. I have received a couple of different ways to do this from other forums that assumed I knew what I was doing. I have gotten one to work, the other I'm still working on. I'll post the one that worked for others that want to know.

Stored procedure in package return multiple columns from multiple tables

Hi ,
Can a single stored procedure return multiple column values from different tables.
example:
tabA: col2, tabB:col3,tabC:col4 etc.
one more question:
if a stored procedure like to return 10 columns for a particular record from a single table do i need to define a TYPE statement for each colum like
TYPE col1 is TABLE of varchar
TYPE col2 is TABLE of varchar
here i want to return only one row, not many rows.
thanks

You can try one procedure with OUT or IN/OUT parameters that collect the values from one or more sql statements.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE P1
(P_COD IN TABLE.COD%TYPE,
P_DESC1 OUT TABLE1.DESC1%TYPE,
P_DESC2 OUT TABLE2.DESC2%TYPE)
IS
BEGIN
SELECT table1.DESC1, table2.DESC2
INTO P_DESC1, P_DESC2
FROM TABLE1, table2 WHERE
table1.COD = P_COD and
table1.cod = table2.cod ;
END P1;

Selectively Format Groups with Multiple Columns

I have a bit of an obscure task I've been trying to hammer out to no avail. I've searched quite a bit but can't seem to find anyone else who has attempted this. I have two group by statements, one is a category and the other is a rank. What I'm trying to do is organize the report so that there are category rows and below each category row is a set of columns for each rank with their associated values as such:
category1
rank1     rank2     rank3     rank4
value1   value1    value1   value1
value2   value2    value2   value2
category2
rank1     rank2     rank3
value1   value1    value1
value2   value2    value2
I've tried using details>Section Expert>>Layout>Format Groups with multiple column. Unfortunately, this applies to both groups putting the categories into columns instead of rows, making a mess. Does anyone know of a way to selectively put groups into columns and ensure alignment? In the above example the user would be able to compare rank values from multiple categories since they all line up. Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Hi,
Have you tried using a crosstab? Give this a shot:
1) Group the report on Category
2) Create a new group header section. Group Header b
3) Place a crosstab in this section
4) The columns would be the Rank field, I'm not sure about what you would like to show in the rows
5) The summarized field would be the Value field ofcourse
Let me know how this goes.

Return multiple columns from an analytic function with a window

Hello,
Is it possible to obtain multiple columns from an analytic function with a window?
I have a table with 4 columns, an id, a test id, a date, and the result of a test. I'm using an analytic function to obtain, for each row, the current test value, and the maximum test value in the next 2 days like so:
select
id,
test_id,
date,
result,
MAX ( result ) over ( partition BY id, test_id order by date RANGE BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND INTERVAL '2' DAY FOLLOWING ) AS max_result_next_two_day
from table
This is working fine, but I would like to also obtain the date when the max result occurs. I can see that this would be possible using a self join, but I'd like to know if there is a better way? I cannot use the FIRST_VALUE aggregate function and order by result, because the window function needs to be ordered by the date.
It would be a great help if you could provide any pointers/suggestions.
Thanks,
Dan

Assuming RESULT is a positive integer that has a maximum width of, say 10,
and assuming date has no time-component:
select
   id
,test_id
,date
,result
,to_number(substr(max_result_with_date,1,10)) as max_result_next_two_day
,to_date(substr(max_result_with_date,11),'YYYYMMDD') as date_where_max_result_occurs
from (select
        id
       ,test_id
       ,date
       ,result
       ,MAX(lpad(to_char(result),10,'0')||to_char(date,'YYYYMMDD'))
           over (partition BY id, test_id
                 order by date
                 RANGE BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND INTERVAL '2' DAY FOLLOWING )
        AS max_result_with_date
      from table)

Multiple Select List not returning multiple values

I have created a Multiple Select List, and the manual says that when multiple values are selected and the page is submmitted (I'm using a GO button), the multiple values are put into the ITEM field, separated with a colon . However, whenever I select multiple entries in my list, it only ever returns a value for the first item (like a single select list).
Does anybody know what I may have missed ? I'm still fairly new to this stuff, so I'm hoping it's fairly simple!
thanks.
p.s I'm using a dynamic list of values.

Andy / Scott,
Sorry, please bear with me ... still new to this.
I have a multi select list item in page 2, called P2_MULTI_LIST. When the page is submitted, I no longer physically pass it to page 3, but how would page 3 pick up the value ? Do I need to set up a P3_MULTI_LIST item in page3 and set that item to the P2_MULTI_LIST value, or do I reference P2_MULTI_LIST directly in my Page3 SQL query ?
Also, if I then want to propogate the value in P2_MULTI_LIST down to another page from page3, via a link in a report, is this possible ?
thanks
Tim

Is there a way to use owa_opt_lock.checksum in Select query that returns multiple records?

Trying to do something as data would be uploaded and edited in grid. At present I am using Ora_Hash.
SELECT
        e.ROWID, e.Employee_Id,e.First_Name,e.Last_Name,e.Email,e.Phone_Number,e.Hire_Date,
        e.Job_Id,e.Salary,e.Manager_Id,e.Department_Id,
        owa_opt_lock.checksum('HR','EMPLOYEES', e.rowid) As HashForThisRow
FROM EMPLOYEES e;
Thx

No you can't.
owa_opt_lock.checksum is a function which is used for optimist locking. It locks the row(probably by using Select FOR Update mechanism) which you select and which you are trying to update. As a result, what you are eventually trying to do is that inside a Select query you are using a function that is locking the rows, which is not allowed. And thus your query will fail with the below mentioned error.
ORA-14551: cannot perform a DML operation inside a query
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SQL", line 1575
ORA-06512: at "SYS.OWA_OPT_LOCK", line 172
14551. 00000 - "cannot perform a DML operation inside a query "
*Cause:    DML operation like insert, update, delete or select-for-update
           cannot be performed inside a query or under a PDML slave.
*Action:   Ensure that the offending DML operation is not performed or
           use an autonomous transaction to perform the DML operation within
           the query or PDML slave.

How to use Cursor's Fetch to return multiple column Data

Hi ,
This is my Table :
SQL> select * from Login;
USERNAME PASSWORD CONFIRMPASSWORD
RAvi SAI SAI
Kiran Keyboard Keyboard
VARNU JAINA JAINA
This is my stored Procedure , for that Table , this is working fine , where he Cursor's Fetch is returning only a Single column of Data .
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE getEmpName(EMP_ID IN VARCHAR2)
IS
EMPNAME VARCHAR2(50);
CURSOR MYCUR
IS
SELECT USERNAME from login where USERNAME=EMP_ID;
BEGIN
OPEN MYCUR ;
LOOP
FETCH MYCUR INTO EMPNAME;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(EMPNAME);
EXIT WHEN MYCUR%NOTFOUND;
END LOOP;
close MYCUR ;
END;
Now , I have a requirement as , i need to get the Password also along with Username ,
Please tell me how can i use FETCH of Cursor to populate Details into the Declared Variables
FETCH MYCUR INTO EMPNAME;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE getEmpName(EMP_ID IN VARCHAR2)
IS
EMPNAME VARCHAR2(50);
PASSWORD VARCHAR2(50);
CURSOR MYCUR
IS
SELECT USERNAME , PASSWORD from login where USERNAME=EMP_ID;

1) I'm hoping that this is a homework assignment. You would never, in the real world, store a password in clear text. And you would never, from a database design, have separate Password and ConfirmPassword columns.
2) The INTO clause can accept a list of variables. So
FETCH your_cursor_name INTO local_variable1, local_variable2;would be valid.
3) You would generally want to avoid having local variables that share the name of a column-- that leads to some pretty serious confusion related to scoping. One common convention is to prefix local variables with a "l_".
4) You would generally want local variables to inherit the type of the column rather than explicitly declaring the length of a string in your procedure. That way, if you change the table in the future, your code will continue to work.
5) And finally, a procedure that just calls DBMS_OUTPUT would cause all sorts of red flags in reality. It would make far more sense for this to be a function that returns a value than a procedure that tries to write to a buffer that the client application may or may not have created.

Help needed in returning multiple columns from one field

Hi,
I have been given a task to rewrite the query (see below), so that I get three columns from the one field, based on their contents.
The script returns all the columns and concatenates them into one, but returns them as comma delimmited within the returned column, to generate a report.

I have tried to:
- create a cursor
- each column as - ie
S_PROD_INT.NAME as "EVD",
S_PROD_INT.NAME as "GVD",
S_PROD_INT.NAME as "PbDDD"
but when I try to use them in where "EVD" Like 'etc...'
error that table does not exist
I have tried also as
where 'EVD' Like 'etc...' -- error
where EVD Like 'etc...' -- error
- create them as %TYPE variable
- more
but keep getting errors
Any ideas and help will be most appreciated as I have tried and researched all I can think and get my hands on with my limited skills.
Thanks.

How to Make FUNCTION to return multiple column and multiple row output

Hi All,
Kindly Share ur Idea;Thanks in Advance;
i Have Table Demo.
table DEMO:
id name
1 a10
1 a11
1 a12
2 b10
2 b11
3 ccc
and the function is like:
create or replace function (p1 number) return varchar2 as
vid number;
vname varchar2(20);
begin
select id,name into vid,vname from demo where id=p1;
return v1;
end;
this function returns output for id=3;
BUT,
i need output as (for input as 1)
vid vname
1 a10
1 a11
1 a12

A function returns a single datatype.
That datatype may be an atomic datatype (varchar2, number etc.) or it may be an object/record datatype, or even a collection datatype.
Where are you going to use this function? In PL/SQL or SQL?
If you are wanting to use it in SQL, then you would need a pipelined function e.g.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE myemp AS OBJECT
2 ( empno    number,
3    ename    varchar2(10),
4    job      varchar2(10),
5    mgr      number,
6    hiredate date,
7    sal      number,
8    comm     number,
9    deptno   number
10 )
11 /
Type created.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE myrectable AS TABLE OF myemp
2 /
Type created.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION pipedata(p_min_row number, p_max_row number) RETURN myrectable PIPELINED IS
2    v_obj myemp := myemp(NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);
3 BEGIN
4    FOR e IN (select *
5              from (

7                          ,rownum rn
8                    from (select * from emp order by empno) e
9                   )
10              where rn between p_min_row and p_max_row)
11    LOOP
12      v_obj.empno    := e.empno;
13      v_obj.ename    := e.ename;
14      v_obj.job      := e.job;
15      v_obj.mgr      := e.mgr;
16      v_obj.hiredate := e.hiredate;
17      v_obj.sal      := e.sal;
18      v_obj.comm     := e.comm;
19      v_obj.deptno   := e.deptno;
20      PIPE ROW (v_obj);

I want a select statement to return two values, sum of one column and customer number

I have two columns one called invoice_number and the other invoice_amount. I want a select statement to return two columns.... invoice_number and then the sum of the invoice_amount(s) for each unique invoice number.
SELECT sum(invoice_amount) AS Totalinvoice_amount FROM InvoiceTB where invoice_number = 'INV102'
This is where I've started, which returns:
Totalinvoice_amount
500.00
Any help is appreciated.
Please mark my post as helpful or the answer or better yet.... both! :) Thanks!

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules. Temporal data should
use ISO-8601 formats. Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect.
This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums.

Pl/sql block returning multiple rows

Hi,
I've created a plsql block which obtains an id from a name and then uses this id in another sql statement. The select statement to get the id works fine and the correct id is placed into the variable awardID.
when i try to use this variable in another select statement it returns multiple rows. but when i just use the id in the select statement it works fine.
select AwardID into awardID
from award_objtabA
where Name = awardName;
this returns the correct id '5999'
select Points into award_points
from award_objtabA
where AwardID = awardID;
this returns multiple rows
select Points into award_points
from award_objtabA
where AwardID = 5999;
this works fine
can anybody help with this confusing error?
Cheers

select AwardID
into awardID               <= the same column
from award_objtabA
where Name = awardName;
this returns the correct id '5999'
select Points
into award_points
from award_objtabA
where AwardID = awardID;    <= the same column
this returns multiple rows
to solve use different name not exactly the same as that of the column name
select AwardID
into vAwardID
from award_objtabA
where Name = awardName;
select Points
into award_points
from award_objtabA
where AwardID = vAwardID;as Alex and Kamal have suggested use different name for your variable.

Multiple Column Report Question

Post Author: LCS213
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I'm creating a student transcript report that has multiple columns, and is three groups deep. The first two groups need to be in a columnar layout. However, I'd like the third group to contain a subreport that spans the width of the entire page.
Are there any options within Crystal XI to do this? I know in the Section Expert, i can format the detail level with multiple columns, and on the Layout tab, I can select "Format Groups with multiple columns". But that seems like it either formats ALL groups or NO groups. Am I mistaken? Is there a workaround I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any help on this issue!

Hi Dan,
According to your description, we are not clear about the “6 sections for each Additional task”. Do you mean six data records? If so, based on my understanding, there are three groups and eighteen records in your report. You want to make those records appear
on eighteen separated pages, right?
In Reporting Service, we can add a page break to groups within data regions to control the amount of information on each page. In your scenario, you should add page break to group “Sub task”, group “Additional Task” and details. As we tested in our environment,
add page break to these records, the report appears in eighteen pages. Please refer to steps below:
1.On Group Properties of Details1, choose “Between each instance of a group” option on Page Breaks page. Please refer to screenshot below:
Choose same option on Group Properties for group “Month” and “Name”.
2.Click drop-down button next to Column Groups, then choose Advanced Mode.
3.Click on Static under Row Groups, set RepeatOnNewPage as True in Tablix Member Properties.
4.Click Preview, the results before and after adding page break look like below:
If you still have any question, please post some detail information or screenshot about the report design you expect.
Best regards,
Qiuyun Yu

Single query return multiple value

Hi ALL,
I have a sql query as below :
select order_number,
(select decode(hcp.contact_point_purpose,'ABC',hcp.email_address,'CDE',hcp.email_address,null)
from hz_contact_points,
hz_parties hz
WHERE hz.party_id=hcp.owner_table_id) Email
FROM oe_order_headers_all h
WHERE h.order_number='102'
Actually the problem i am facing is the inner select query is returning multiple row , so my main query is erroring out, i need to capture the multiple row.
in the above example the inner decode statement returning two mail address, i need to capture that, but while executing the whole query it is erroring out as saying single query returns multiple values.
please help me on this to capture multiple values
Thanks

>
select order_number,
(select decode(hcp.contact_point_purpose,'ABC',hcp.email_address,'CDE',hcp.email_address,null)
from hz_contact_points,
hz_parties hz
WHERE hz.party_id=hcp.owner_table_id
/* a join is missing here that points to table oe_order_headers_all h*/) Email
FROM oe_order_headers_all h
WHERE h.order_number='102'
>
I can see a join missing in your select sub query.
However, if you you are still getting the single query return multiple value error then you need to replace the sql sub query
select decode(hcp.contact_point_purpose,'ABC',hcp.email_address,'CDE',hcp.email_address,null)
from hz_contact_points,
hz_parties hz
WHERE hz.party_id=hcp.owner_table_id)by decode(hcp.contact_point_purpose,'ABC',hcp.email_address,'CDE',hcp.email_address,null)
and join the two tables in you main query..

Return multiple values from a function to a SELECT statement

I hope I've provided enough information here. If not, just let me know what I'm missing.
I am creating a view that will combine information from a few tables. Most of it is fairly straightforward, but there are a couple of columns in the view that I need to get by running a function within a package. Even this is fairly straightforward (I have a function named action_date in a package called rp, for instance, which I can use to return the date I need via SELECT rp.action_date(sequence_number).
Here's the issue: I actually need to return several bits of information from the same record (not just action_date, but also action_office, action_value, etc.) - a join of the tables won't work here as I'll explain below. I can, of course, run a separate function for each statement but that is obviously inefficient. Within the confines of the view select statement however, I'm not sure how to return each of the values I need.
For instance, right now, I have:
Table1:
sequence_number NUMBER(10),
name VARCHAR(30),
Table2:
Table1_seq NUMBER(10),
action_seq NUMBER(10),
action_date DATE,
action_office VARCHAR(3),
action_value VARCHAR(60),
I can't simply join Table1 and Table2 because I have to do some processing in order to determine which of the matching returned rows I actually need to select. So the package opens a cursor and processes each row until it finds the one that I need.
The following works but is inefficient since all of the calls to the package will return columns from the same record. I just don't know how to return all the values I need into the SELECT statement.
CREATE VIEW all_this_stuff AS
SELECT sequence_number, name,
rp.action_date(sequence_number) action_date,
rp.action_office(sequence_number) action_office,
rp.action_value(sequence_number) action_value
FROM table1
Is there a way to return multiple values into my SELECT statement or am I going about this all wrong?
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much!

Hi,
What you want is a Top-N Query , which you can do using the analytic ROW_NUMBER function in a sub-query, like this:
WITH     got_rnum     AS
     SELECT     action_seq, action_dt, action_office, action_type, action_value
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( ORDER BY action_date
                               ,            action_seq
                         ,            action_serial
                       ) AS rnum
     FROM     table2
     WHERE     action_code     = 'AB'
     AND     action_office     LIKE 'E'     -- Is this right?
SELECT     action_seq, action_dt, action_office, action_type, action_value
FROM     got_rnum
WHERE     rnum     = 1
;As written, this will return (at most) one row.
I suspect you'll really want to get one row for each group , where a group is defined by some value in a table to which you're joining.
In that case, add a PARTITION BY clause to the ROW_NUMBER function.
If you'd post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), I could show you exactly how.
Since I don't have your tables, I'll show you using tables in the scott schema.
Here's a view that has data from the scott.dept table and also from scott.emp, but only for the most senior employee in each department (that is, the employee with the earliest hiredate). If there happens to be a tie for the earliest hiredate, then the contender with the lowest empno is chosen.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW     senior_emp
AS
WITH     got_rnum     AS
     SELECT     d.deptno
     ,     d.dname
     ,     e.empno
     ,     e.ename
     ,     e.hiredate
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY d.deptno
                               ORDER BY         e.hiredate
                         ,                e.empno
                       ) AS rnum
     FROM     scott.dept     d
     JOIN     scott.emp     e     ON     d.deptno     = e.deptno
SELECT     deptno
,     dname
,     empno
,     ename
,     hiredate
FROM     got_rnum
WHERE     rnum     = 1
SELECT     *
FROM     senior_emp
;Output:
.    DEPTNO DNAME               EMPNO ENAME      HIREDATE
        10 ACCOUNTING           7782 CLARK      09-JUN-81
        20 RESEARCH             7369 SMITH      17-DEC-80
        30 SALES                7499 ALLEN      20-FEB-81
By the way, one of the conditions in the query you posted was
action_office     LIKE 'E'which is equivalent to
action_office     = 'E'(LIKE is always equivalent to = if the string after LIKE doesn't contain any wildcards.)
Did you mean to say that, or did you mean something like this:
action_office     LIKE 'E%'instead?
