SELECT Query design with JOINS

Dear Users,
In one of our requirements, we have a SELECT query which joins a few tables together and selects a few fields from each table.
Example: Fields 1,2 and 3 from Table 1
Fields 4 and 5 from Table 2.
These fields are later displayed in the form of an ALV. However, the end user wants more fields on the output, let's say field 6 from Table 2. Due to this requirement, I have to amend the SELECT query to add field 6 of Table 2.
The above example is simple since it only involves 2 tables. However, in reality, we have a SELECT query with INNER JOINS on more than 6 tables and we don't want to change the code when someone asks for an additional field from one of these tables. Is there any way by which I can design my SELECT query (Using field symbols or dynamic selections etc) such that I don't have to amend the SELECT query and instead I should be able to maintain the field required by the user and it's source table name in a Z-Table and the SELECT automatically picks it up ? Thanks!
Vijay

better you can create a view on your 6 or more tables and select the fields .
Use Select * from <view name> every time in a select statement.
If you need a additional column then just change the view , there is no need to change of your select query.
with regards

Select query based on joining of tables from different database is taking too long

Hi Team,
Select query on table with millions of records is taking very long time. It took 50mins, the below query is joining on multiple table from two databases DB1.dbo.Table1 contains 100 million records and also Table3 and Table4 (of different database) might
contain close to 1million records.
Select T1.*
From DB1.dbo.Table1 T1
Join DB1.dbo.Table2 T2 on RTRIM(T1.Col3) = RTRIM(T2.Col3)
Join Table4 CA on RTRIM(T1.Col1) + T2.Col2 = CA.Col1
Join Table3 U on CA.Col2 = U.Col2 AND RTRIM(T2.Col2) = U.Col3
Where U.Col4 NOT IN ('A1', 'A2', 'A3', 'A4', 'A5', 'A6','A7','A8','A9')
And (T1.flg IS NULL OR T1.flg = 'N')
And LTRIM(RTRIM(T2.Col2)) NOT IN ('B1','B2')
How can i improve the performance of this query. Actual thing is update the data in Db1.dbo.table1 based on the conditions but if the select is taking close to 1hr then update will take hours together. Indexes already implemented on all the tables.
Thanks,
Eshwar.

Thanks.
Join Table4 CA on RTRIM(T1.Col1) + T2.Col2 = CA.Col1
This join is not working with spaces if Rtrim is not used.

SELECT query - problem with SORT

Hi,
Same select query behaves different way on development and quality server
on Development it returns unsorted and Quality returns sorted
it can be resolved by SORT but why does it behave differently
Do you know what is setting in database
thanks

From F1 on SELECT:
Orders the records in a SELECT statement. Without the ORDER-BY clause, the order
in which the selected lines are supplied is undefined. This means that two similar SELECT
statements may produce lines in a different order.

Corrupted Query Designer with strange External Restriction

Dear Experts,
I have a dilemma with query, when I run the query in RSRT and debug it with OLAP, in the restriction side it appears to restrict the query with two Attributes which are not even used in my query not also their master-data.
I have created the same query again but still it gave the same behavior.
Please help me to remove this dilemma.

Authorizations to restrict Query Designer with Only Display option

Hello,
I have looked all most all possible ways in internet to find out a suggestion/solution for the below. But Invain.
I would like to know the Transactions, authorization objects and profiles that are responsible to restrict users not to change and copy queries from QD.
I need only display option for queries.
Also,please confirm shall we restrict the same from Transaction SCC4.
Thanks In Advance.

Hi there,
Since you're talking about a QD system, you should lock it in transaction SCC4.
In case you need to change things in QD without opening the system in SCC4, you can go to transaction rsa1->transport connection and click on Object Changeability. In there you can define what paricular options are "opened for changes" even with SCC4 in close mode.
Also, for roles having that objects, you should use the authorization object S_RS_COMP and S_RS_COMP1 with Activity with value 02 - Display

Hi ,
I am sending this sample coed for the Inner joins .Hope this will help you:
Inner joins using 3 tables
Try this :-
SELECT stpostlnr stpoidnrk mastmatnr maramtart stpo~menge
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE zmat1 FROM mast
JOIN stpo ON stpostlnr = maststlnr
JOIN mara ON maramatnr = mastmatnr
WHERE stpostlty = 'M' "AND stpoidnrk IN s_matnr
AND mast~werks = 1000.
Here s_matnr is a select-options on the selection-screen.
Or this.
Code:
     Select single VbrkBukrs VbrkKunrg    Vbrk~Vbeln
                   VbrkFkdat VbrkBstnk_Vf Vbrk~Zterm
                   Tvzbt~Vtext
                   VbakVbeln VbakBstdk
                   LikpVbeln Likplfdat    Likp~Lfuhr
       into w_vbrk
       from vbrk
      inner join       Tvzbt on TvzbtZterm        = VbrkZterm      and
                                Tvzbt~Spras        = sy-langu
      Inner join       Vbfa as SalesLnk
                             on SalesLnk~vbeln     = pu_vbeln        and
                                SalesLnk~vbtyp_v   = c_order
            inner join Vbak on VbakVbeln           = SalesLnkVbelv
      Inner join       Vbfa as DeliveryLnk
                             on DeliveryLnk~vbeln   = pu_vbeln       and
                                DeliveryLnk~vbtyp_v = c_Delivery
            inner join Likp on LikpVbeln          = DeliveryLnkVbelv
      where vbrk~vbeln = pu_Vbeln.
This code locates sales, delivery and payment terms info from a billing document number.
or
Here, this one also works fine :
select zfpcdcadivi zfpcdproforma zfpcdfactura zfpcdaniofactura
zfpcdmontousd zfpcdmontoap zfpcdebeln zfpcdinco1
zfpcdlifnr lfa1name1 zcdvsstatus zfpcdconint
into it_lista
from zfpcd inner join zcdvs
on zfpcdebeln = zcdvsebeln
and zfpcdproforma = zcdvsproforma
and zfpcdlifnr = zcdvslifnr
inner join lfa1
on zfpcdlifnr = lfa1lifnr
where zcdvs~status = '04'.
Also Here is another solution that just uses inner joins:
SELECT vbakvbeln vbfaerdat INTO (itab-vbeln, itab-wadat)
FROM ( vbak INNER JOIN vbap
ON vbapvbeln = vbakvbeln )
INNER JOIN vbfa ON vbakvbeln = vbfavbelv
WHERE vbak~kunnr = m_wm AND
vbak~vbtyp = 'C' AND
vbfa~erdat IN s_date AND
vbap~matnr = 'MZ1807F' AND
vbfaposnv = vbapposnr AND
vbfa~vbtyp_n = 'J'.

Strange results with Insert statement having select query

Hi all,
I am facing a strange issue with Insert statement based on a select query having multiple joins.
DB- Oracle 10g
Following is the layout of my query -
Insert into Table X
Select distinct Col1, Col2, Col3, Col4, Function(Col 5) from Table A, B
where trunc(updated_date) > = trunc(sysdate-3)
and join conditions for A, B
Union
Select Col1, Col2, Col3, Col4, Function(Col 5) from Table C, D
trunc(updated_date) > = trunc(sysdate-3)
and join conditions for C, D
Union
.... till 4 unions. all tables are residing in the local Database and not having records more than 50,000.
If I execute above insert in a DBMS job, it results into suppose 50 records where as if I execute the select query it gives 56 records.
We observed following things-
a) no issue with size of tablespace
b) no error while inserting
c) since query takes lot of time so we have not used Cursor and PLSQL block for inserting.
d) this discrepancy in number of records happens frequently but not everytime.
e) examined the records left out from the insert, there we couldn't find any specific pattern.
f) there is no constraint on the table X in which we are trying to insert. Also tables A, B, C....
I went through this thread -SQL insert with select statement having strange results but mainly users are having either DB Links or comparison of literal dates, in my case there is none.
Can somebody explain why is the discrepancy and what is the solution for it.
Or atleast some pointers how to proceed with the analysis.

Updated query and added more details

>
Since I am using Trunc() in the where clause so timing should not matter much. Also I manually ruled out records which were updated after the job run.
>
The first rule of troubleshooting is to not let your personal opinion get in the way of finding out what is wrong.
Actually this code, and the process it represents, is the most likely CAUSE of the problem.
>
where trunc(updated_date) > = trunc(sysdate-3)
>
You CANNOT reliably use columns like UPDATED_DATE to select records for processing. Your process is flawed.
The value of that column is NOT the date/time that the data was actually committed; it is the date/time that the row was populated.
If you insert a row into a table right now, using SYSDATE (8am on 3/5/2013) and don't commit that row until April your process will NEVER see that 3/5/2013 date until April.
Here is the more typical scenario that I see all the time.
1. Data is inserted/updated all day long on 3/4/2013.
2. A column, for example UPDATED_DATE is given a value of SYSDATE (3/4/2013) in a query or by a trigger on the table.
3. The insert/update query takes place at 11:55 PM - so the SYSDATE values are for THE DAY THE QUERY BEGAN
4. The data pull begins at 12:05 am (on 3/5/2013 - just after midnight)
5. The transaction is COMMITTED at 12:10 AM (on 3/5/2013); 5 minutes after the data pull began.
That data extract in step 4 will NEVER see those records! They DO NOT EXIST when the data pull query is executed since they haven't been committed.
Even worse, the next nights data pull will not see them either! That is because the next pull will pull data for 3/5/2013 but those records have a date of 3/4/2013. They will never get processed.
>
Job timing is 4am and 10pm EST
>
Another wrinkle is when data is inserted/updated from different timezones and the UPDATED_DATE value is from the CLIENT pc or server. Then you can get even more data missed since the client dates may be hours different than the server date used for the data pull process.
DO NOT try to use UPDATED_DATE type columns to do delta extraction or you can have this issue.

Formula Evaluation in Query Designer

Hi
In query designer I have Complex formula which is having lot of variables.
My users are saying some values are incorrect in report output
Can any one help how can we find the value is calculated in report output for this formula.
Thanks
Sudhakar.

Hi Sudhakar,
One more way which you can try to find out how the particular Key Figure is been calculated in query designer is as given below:
1) Go to RSRT
2) execute your query with option for Query Display As "List"
3) You will get the query output
4) In this screen, you will get the button "Key Figure Definition" on the top
5) Click on this button and there will be a pop up screen to select "Structure Element 1" and "Structure Element 2"
6) Here for "Structure Element 1" please select the KeyFigure name for which you want to see the calcuation
7) and click on the "Continue" (Here its blue colored icon)
8) After this you will get a screen showing KF value that is calculated by query
9) Drill down the key figure to see "Fixed Fliter" which will show the data selection used to calculate this value. These are nothing but the global filters defined in query
10) Drill down the KF to see the dynamic filter values i.e. selections with which this KF is restricted in query designer
With above analysis you can easily trace out how the particular KF is calculated in query designer.

Geetanjali
