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.

SQL query problem with sorting

Hi,
I have question regarding sql query . Right now I am getting the results like this if i use this sql query
select ID,Name,Desc,Priority from emp order by Priority ;
Priority is varchar field. I don't want to change the Priority field and cannot add a new column in the table. Because i don't have permission to do that.
ID Name Desc Priority
=============================================
234 paul paul desc Highest
3452 mike mike desc High
4342 smith smith desc Low
6565 kelly kelly desc Low
9878 nate nate desc Medium
3223 deb deb desc High
============================================
I need a query to get the results like that.
ID Name Desc Priority
=============================================
234 paul paul desc Highest
3452 mike mike desc High
3223 deb deb desc High
9878 nate nate desc Medium
4342 smith smith desc Low
6565 kelly kelly desc Low
============================================
If any one knows about this one, please let me know.
Thanks,
Bala

You are aware that there are differences in the SQL implementation between Sqlserver and Oracle? You could try something like this, if there's a INSTR function:
ORDER BY INSTR('Highest,High,Medium,Low,', Priority || ',')You may have to change the "Priority || ," to a "Priority + ','), if string concatenation is done differently in sqlserver. Don't know about the ('), maybe you need (").

Problem with sorting involving user defined types and reports

Hello!
I have a problem with sorting involving Reports and user defined objet types.
I have created the following object types
CREATE TYPE type_balance_compte AS OBJECT
NUM_CPT_SEQ NUMBER(8)
,NUM_CPT VARCHAR2(35)
CREATE TYPE TB_type_balance_compte IS TABLE OF type_balance_compte
At the reports query I use:
SELECT ...
FROM table(cast(test_pkg.balance_comptes(:P_num_soc) as TB_type_balance_compte)) c
The procedure balance_comptes will retrieve data from various tables into the type.
The report is ordered by a certain string field that usually contains characters and numbers.
I need to have numbers always before characters, meaning the data should come in this order in the report for example:
0
1
A
B
So, before the report query, I have placed a call to DBMS_SESSION.SET_NLS( 'nls_sort', 'binary' ) to guarantee NLS_SORT in case it is originally set to FRENCH.
The problem here is that even after this call, I have the report ordered like this
A
B
0
1
And not the numbers before as it should be.
To try and find out where the problem was, I have created a table to use instead of the object type described above. In this case, it worked correctly. So all I know by now is that is has something to do with the type or cast, but what exactly? Does anybody now how to solve this without using a table?
Many thanks
Ariadne

I have placed a call to DBMS_SESSION.SET_NLS( 'nls_sort', 'binary' ) why not order directly then:
SQL> select *
      from table (sys.dbms_debug_vc2coll ('A', 1, '5', 'C', 'a'))
order by nlssort (column_value, 'NLS_SORT = binary')
COLUMN_VALUE
1
5
A
C
a

Select query problem in JDBC sender adapter

Hello Experts,
We have a problem with PI sender adapter that PI has started to miss records in database some database records are missing and we are using the below selet query :
SELECT * FROM [database name].[dbo].[Material_Movement] WHERE [Process_Order_Number] = (Select TOP 1 [Process_Order_Number] FROM [database name].[dbo].[Material_Movement] WHERE ([PI_Read_Date] IS NULL AND [Movement_Type] = (SELECT TOP 1 [Movement_Type] FROM [database name].[dbo].[Material_Movement] WHERE [Transaction_Code] = 'xyz' AND [PI_Read_Date] IS NULL ORDER BY Created_Date ASC))) AND [Transaction_Code] = 'xyz' AND [Movement_Type] = (SELECT TOP 1 [Movement_Type] FROM [database name].[dbo].[Material_Movement] WHERE [Transaction_Code] = 'xyz' AND [PI_Read_Date] IS NULL ORDER BY Created_Date ASC) AND [PI_Read_Date] IS NULL ORDER BY [Transaction_ID] ASC
I am weak in select query could you please check and suggest how the query can be modified to avoid this issue .
Thanks,
Somenath

Hi ,
After looking into These Query .. I found ...
Your Query Will run such Kind of scenario ..
1.)   Movement Type will be fetched from from below Query
        SELECT TOP 1 Movement_Type
        FROM database name.dbo.Material_Movement
        WHERE Transaction_Code = 'xyz'
       AND PI_Read_Date IS NULL
        ORDER BY Created_Date ASC
2.) on the basis of abovr fetched moment code . your Query will fetch 1 Process Order number
Select TOP 1 Process_Order_Number
FROM database name.dbo.Material_Movement
WHERE ( PI_Read_Date IS NULL
              AND Movement_Type = Moment Type will be same as 1.
3.)
After Getting 1 and 2 . Query will fetch Data from table " dbo.Material_Movement "
On the basis of ..
Movement_Type = value from 1.
Process_order_type = value from 2.
Transaction_Code = 'xyz'
ORDER BY Transaction_ID ASC
So check Missed record Fullfill this Condition or not ....................
If not ... You will get why they are not picked by your given Query ...........
Hope it helps ..

Adhoc query-Problem with Personnel no output field

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to run an adhoc query using a customized Info set(PNPCE logical database).
While running the query,we had selected Personnel no(from Payroll status P0003 table) as output field and Company code(from Org assignment P0001) as input field in the selection.
Problem is in the output field we are seeing the Personnel name details in place of Personnel no.Could anyone please suggest what could be the reason behind this and how to fix it.
Your help will be highly appreciated.

Hi Sushil,
The default output for fields with a text and a value (Name = text, PERNR = value) is the text. You can change this by right clicking on the output box in Ad Hoc and selecting "Value". If you want both name and number, select "Value and Text".
You can also change this default to Value from Text if in Ad Hoc, you go to Edit --> Settings. On the last tab, change the radio buttion for output default to Value from Text. This will change it for all fields so you would see the eight digit number rather than the name of the position or org unit. Thus, you may want to keep it at Text and use the right click to change specific fields as needed.
By the way, it is usually best to utilize the personnel number field from IT0000-Actions, although it can be obtained from any infotype if you include that field in the field group when creating your infoset.

Select distinct problem with muliple join tables, help needed

Hi,
I have two main tables. Each has its of sub joined tables.
guest_id_for_reservation connects two major tables. This has
to be that way
because my guest may change the room status from single to
double (and the
similar exceptional requests).
guests reservation
guest_id_for_reservation
countrytable hoteltable
delegationtable roomtype
I form a query. I want to select distinct those results. But
it does not
work.
If I do not include any table related to reservation table
and its sub
joined tables (disregarding guest_id_for_reservation), it
works.
Is there a specific syntax for select distinct of this type
or any
workaround.?
Thank you

Hi I'm still battling with this - have connected the AX to my Imac via ethernet and it shows up fine in Airport Utility. Status light is green and it says its set up to connect to my existing wireless network using wireless connection. Security in Network Preferences is the same for both: WPA2 Personal.
So I don't think there's a problem with the AX, and my current wireless network (BT Home Hub) is working fine.
And when I restore factory settings Airport Utility can see the AX before updating settings so the wireless side of AX must work too.
I'm figuring it must be something about the settings that mean AU can't see it anymore. But I can't work out what, since security is the same.
Any ideas would be great!

Selection of tableSelectMany with sorting correct behavior or bug?

Hello,
I came across this behavior, looks like a bug to me. So I just wanna check if anyone else knows an answer, solution or workaround to this.
- I build af:table by drag and drop DataControl onto the page.
- assume that table as 2+ plus columns. the 1st column is an ID column.
- assume that currently there are 10 rows displayed with ID 1 to 10
- if I select the 2nd row (ID = 2), then click sort on the 1st column 2 times (so that it sorts ID descending.)
- I will see that the 2nd row (which is now ID is 9) is selected.
I'm kindof see the logic that adf treat this selection thing using position of the rows, not ID of the record represent in that row.
Is there anyway ADF can keep track using ID instead? or we have to build that logic ourself?
I came across this thread Re: tableSelectMany in combination with sorting
but there's no end to it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Frank,
Thank a bunch for shading light to my life. This document is really helpful ;)
Modified:
additional to already great document by Frank, My colleague found another thread related to the same problem with a different way to deal with this problem. I'll just post the link here, so that we have more and more ways to fix the problem. ;)

Query problem with hierarchy filter

Hello everybody,
i have a problem with a BEx Query 3.5 on a BW 7.01-System. This query includes the cha cost category as free characteristic which is filtered on a node. When we execute this query everythin works correktly. When I now select a filter value in BEx fpr this char the formula value in the row does not change. When I drilldown on this char the correct data was shown. This problem occurs only with this hierarchy node. With other selected nodes this problem does not occur.
We have regenerated this query in rsrt but that don't fix this issue.
Has anybody an answer?

hello,

Select Query Problem

Hi Experts,
I am having a select query in which I am using a variable in the where condition but it is giving error. Please suggest how to use variable in the select query.
The query I am using is a s below.
select * from zexc_rec into table it_ZEXC_REC
      where
       LIFNR in S_LIFNR and
      DOCNO in S_DOCNO and
      DOCTYP in doc_typ and
      DATE1 in S_DATE1 and
      MATNR in S_MATNR.
Here doc_typ is a variable.
Thanks.

Rahul,
use RANGES type variable instead of variable . It acts as a select-options variable. Thn use this variable in SELECT query with IN.
Eg :
RANGES r_t510 FOR t510-lgart.
    r_t510-low = '1600'.
    APPEND r_t510.
    r_t510-low = '3190'.
    APPEND r_t510.
Note : can be use SIGN, OPTIONS properties too in RANGES type.
More deatils go through on HELP of RANGES

Query problem with accumulated key figures

Hi BI Gurus!
I have a report problem that I hope you can help me with!
In my report I have 2 key figures. One for accumulated revenue previous year (KF1) and one for accumulated revenue current year (KF2). Both key figures should be presented in a graph in monthly buckets.
January figures from both the key figures shoule be presented in the same bucket. Therfore I can't use 0CALYEAR since we have the "year" information in there. Instead I'm using 0CALMONTH2 which is only two digits, 01 for January. That way I can map figures from both previous year and current year in the same bucket.
I need the figures to be accumulated and this is what I have problem with. When I run the report today in February 2010 it looks like this:
Month   KF1   KF2
01        10     15
02        10     20
03        15
04        10
05        20
06        10
07        10
08        15
09        15
10        20
11        20
12        10
This is how I would like the report to look like:
Month   KF1   KF2
01        10     15
02        20     35
03        35
04        45
05        65
06        75
07        85
08        100
09        115
10        135
11        155
12        165
I have tried to use the setting "accumulated" for the key figures but then I get this result:
Month   KF1   KF2
01        10     15
02        20     35
03        35     35
04        45     35
05        65     35
06        75     35
07        85     35
08        100   35
09        115   35
10        135   35
11        155   35
12        165   35
Since the KF2 is revenue for current year and I run the report in February I don't want any figures to be displayed in Mars...
I have tried to restrict the key figures by 0CALMONTH2 and 0CALYEAR. The KF1 is havein a restriction to only show values for 0CALYEAR - 1 and an interval for 0CALMONTH2 from JAN - DEC.
The KF2 is having a restriction to only show values in the interval "first month in year - current month" (in this example JAN - FEB) for 0CALMONTH2. And current year for 0CALYEAR.
Despite my restrictions for KF2 the numpers repeats itself for every month...
Any suggestion how I can resolve this?
Best regards
Anders Florin

Hi Khaled and thank you for trying to help me!
I agree with you and think the users should accept the report as it is. But they are claiming that top management will not accept this and they would really want this to be fixed the whay that they want. I have tried to push back on this and said that I'm not sure that it can be resoleved and that it could cost them a lot of money if I try.
But I will try to resolve it for them if I have spare time in the end of the project. I have not promised them anything but it would really be nice if I could fix it.
So when you say I need to use a structure and a calculated key figure. How should the calculated key figure and the structure be configured?
If I use a structure in the rows I guess I can't use same object in calc.key.figure right? Like if I use 0CALMONTH2 in the structure I'm not able to restrict the key figure with the same object? If that is correct I also have a ZMONTH object, different story why I have that... , that I can use in the same way as 0CALMONTH2. Or is this only a problem when I use "local" formulas within the query and not using a "global" calculated key figure? Cause I have only used the "loacal" formula calculated key figure in this report....

Sql select query problem

hi friends,
i've a view called "risk_efforts" with fields user_id,user_name,wknd_dt,week_day,prod_efforts,unprod_efforts.
Name Type

USER_ID VARCHAR2(14)
USER_NAME VARCHAR2(50)
WKND_DT VARCHAR2(8)
WEEK_DAY VARCHAR2(250)
PROD_EFFORTS NUMBER
UNPROD_EFFORTS NUMBER
data is like this:
when there is some data in prod_efforts, unprod_efforts will be null
when there is some data in unprod_efforts, prod_efforts will be null
for example:
USER_ID     USER_NAME     WKND_DT     WEEK_DAY     PROD_EFFORTS     UNPROD_EFFORTS
G666999     GTest     20100403     TUE     null 3
G666999     GTest     20100403     TUE     14     null
now i want to combine these 2 rows into 1 row i.e o/p should be like this
USER_ID     USER_NAME     WKND_DT     WEEK_DAY     PROD_EFFORTS     UNPROD_EFFORTS
G666999     GTest     20100403     TUE     14 3
i've tried all combinations but couldn't get the query. Please help me with the exact SQL select query.

Welcome to the forum.
First read this:
Urgency in online postings
Secondly, it's always helpful to provide the following:
1. Oracle version (SELECT * FROM V$VERSION)
2. Sample data in the form of CREATE / INSERT statements.
3. Expected output
4. Explanation of expected output (A.K.A. "business logic")
5. Use \ tags for #2 and #3. See FAQ (Link on top right side) for details.
You have provided #3 and #4. However with no usable form of sample data forum members will often not respond as quickly as they could if you provided #2.
I'm just wagering a guess here but what about this:SELECT ROW_ID
, USER_ID
, WKND_DT
, WEEK_DAY
, MAX(PROD_EFFORTS) AS PROD_EFFORTS
, MAX(UNPROD_EFFORTS) AS UNPROD_EFFORTS
FROM RISK_EFFORTS
GROUP BY ROW_ID
, USER_ID
, WKND_DT
, WEEK_DAY

A Problem With Sorting via Applescript

Hello everyone. I have always lurked these forums and learnt many things along the way, but this is my first question, and I hope that someone can help me out. I apologise for the huge post.
I have created a spreadsheet in Numbers that I plan to use for a soccer tournament. There are 8 Groups of 4 teams in the competition, so I have set each Group up on its own sheet in order to record the results of the games. Group 1 is on Sheet 1, Group 2 is on Sheet 2 etc. These results are then fed into a second table on the each page in order to create a competition ladder for each group. So far so good, works beautifully. See image:
My next step is sorting these tables so that they form a proper "results table" with the best team on top. My wish is to sort the results table in this order:
Points
Diff
F
Although not very experienced with Applescript, I have written a script to sort all of the 8 sheets so that I don't have to do them one at a time. Unfortunately I find that every second sheet does not sort correctly, even though I am using the same instructions for each seet in my script.
See here, sheet two:
Sheet 3 sorts correctly but not sheet 4, sheet 5 is good but sheet 6 bad etc...
This is my script:
tell application "Numbers"
          tell table "Ladder1" of sheet "Group1" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder1" of sheet "Group1" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder1" of sheet "Group1" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder2" of sheet "Group2" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder2" of sheet "Group2" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder2" of sheet "Group2" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder3" of sheet "Group3" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder3" of sheet "Group3" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder3" of sheet "Group3" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder4" of sheet "Group4" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder4" of sheet "Group4" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder4" of sheet "Group4" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder5" of sheet "Group5" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder5" of sheet "Group5" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder5" of sheet "Group5" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder6" of sheet "Group6" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder6" of sheet "Group6" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder6" of sheet "Group6" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder7" of sheet "Group7" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder7" of sheet "Group7" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder7" of sheet "Group7" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder8" of sheet "Group8" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder8" of sheet "Group8" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder8" of sheet "Group8" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
end tell
Can anybody see any obvious errors with the script? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

First I would look at some items to simplify the script:
I did NOT run this.
tell application "Numbers"
          set LadderNumber to 1
          repeat 8 times
       set theLadder to "Ladder" & LadderNumber
       set theGroup to "Group" & LadderNumber
       tell table theLadder of sheet theGroup of document "Manu"
            sort by column "k" direction descending
            sort by column "i" direction descending
            sort by column "g" direction descending
                         end tell
                         set LadderNumber to (LadderNumber + 1)
          end repeat
end tell
I don't see a problem with the script. I suggest adding a dummy table to each sheet and confirming you can set a value in the dummy table from the script (maybe after manually setting the value to some default value). you can also add print dialogs at each step to see what's happening... like:
set aValue to <what ever>
display dialog "The value is: " & aValue
just some thoughts

Query problem with date range

I have a query that needs to pull data between a date range.
I've tried several things and nothing seems to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's the code:
<cftransaction>
<cfquery name="QryFollowUp"
datasource="NBProdReports">
SELECT TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable.User_ID,
TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable.Contract_Number,
TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable.Transaction_Type,
TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable.Notes,
TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable.Num_Checks_Trans,
TblMasterTrans.Date_Opened
from TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable ,tblMasterTrans
WHERE Transaction_Type = 'FollowUp'
And TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable.Task_Number =
tblMasterTrans.Task_Number
And TblMasterTrans.Date_Opened BETWEEN #form.StartDate# AND
#form.EndDate#
ORDER BY TblMasterTrans.Date_Opened ASC,
TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable.User_id ASC
</cfquery>
</cftransaction>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ok, why are you using a <cftransaction...> around a
single select query?
It should be unnecessary.
This is probably not helpful to your original question. There
is
nothing obviously wrong with your query at least to my glance
through.
Thus this important question, the one without which you are
unlikely to
get any helpful advice, "How does this not work?" Error
Messages? No
Data? Wrong Data? Serves you coffee instead of tea?
It would also probably be helpful to know how your date data
is
represented in the database and the form controls, depending
on what
your difficulties are.

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

two notes... the query works without the order by. And the query works with the order by when I'm working directly with the db. Any ideas? This is driving me nuts!!!!
Thanks,
Tyson

Nevermind, just a dumb mistake... finally figured it out.
