Select query-using Union All display duplicate records.

Hello All Gurus-
I am using Oracle 9.i
When i use the following query to fetch the records based on BUILDNUMBERNAME and ASSIGNED_BUILD then i am getting duplicate records -
select T1.ID FROM Defect T1,statedef T2,repoproject T3
WHERE T1.STATE=T2.ID AND T1.repoproject = T3.dbid AND T3.name Like 'ABC' AND T1. ASSIGNED_BUILD like '1.4.5.6'
Union All
select T1.ID FROM Defect T1,statedef T2,repoproject T3
WHERE T1.STATE=T2.ID AND T1.repoproject = T3.dbid AND T3.name Like 'ABC' AND T1.BUILDNUMBERNAME like '1.4.5.6'
How can i use the order by on T1.ID ? When i use the Order by T1.ID then it throws some error.
Kindly help me in this :(
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for not providing all of the details -
I am using Toad tool to run the query.
1-When i use the following query -
Select T1.ID FROM Defect T1,statedef T2,repoproject T3
WHERE T1.STATE=T2.ID AND T1.repoproject = T3.dbid AND T3.name Like 'ABC' AND T1. ASSIGNED_BUILD like '1.4.5.6' order by T1.ID
Union All
select T1.ID FROM Defect T1,statedef T2,repoproject T3
WHERE T1.STATE=T2.ID AND T1.repoproject = T3.dbid AND T3.name Like 'ABC' AND T1.BUILDNUMBERNAME like '1.4.5.6' order by T1.ID
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended.
2-If i am not using the T1.ID and run the following query
Select T1.ID FROM Defect T1,statedef T2,repoproject T3
WHERE T1.STATE=T2.ID AND T1.repoproject = T3.dbid AND T3.name Like 'ABC' AND T1. ASSIGNED_BUILD like '1.4.5.6'
Union All
select T1.ID FROM Defect T1,statedef T2,repoproject T3
WHERE T1.STATE=T2.ID AND T1.repoproject = T3.dbid AND T3.name Like 'ABC' AND T1.BUILDNUMBERNAME like '1.4.5.6'
Then it is running fine but it is displaying the duplicate values like -

A patient is assigned an ednum. There are two different menus for staff to enter
diagnoses. Each menu stores the entries in a different table. The two tables are substance and pdiagnose. A patient’s diagnosis for a substance abuse can be entered in one table and not the other.
The number of entries for different substances for each patient can vary between the two tables. John Doe might be entered for alcohol and caffeine abuse in the pdiagnosis table and entered only for caffeine abuse in the substance table. They are only
linked by the ednum which has nothing to do with the diagnosis/substance. The substance entered in one table is not linked to the substance entered in the other. A query will not put an entry for alcohol from the pdiagnosis table on the same row as an alcohol
entry from the substance table except by chance. That is the reason for the way the query is written.
The query accepts parameters for a Dr ID and a start and end date. It takes about 7 to 15 seconds to run. Hard coding the dates cuts it down to about a second.
I might be able to select directly from the union all query instead of having it separate. But then I’m not sure about the order by clauses using aliases.
Is there a way to rewrite the query to speed it up?
I did not design the tables or come up with the process of entering diagnoses. It can’t be changed at this time.
Please let me know if you notice any inconsistencies between the DDLs, data, and output. I did a lot of editing.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Please post real DDL instead of your invented non-language, 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. Your rude, non-SQL narrative is so far away from standards I cannot even use you as a bad example in book.
Temporal data should use ISO-8601 formats (we have to re-type the dialect you used!). Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialecT.
This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums. You posted a total mess! Do you really have patients without names?? You really use a zero to fifty characters for a patient_nbr??? Give me an example. That is insane!
Your disaster has more NULLs than entire major corporate systems. Since you cannot change it, can you quit? I am serious. I have been employed in IT since 1965, and can see a meltdown.
I looked at this and I am not even going to try to help you; it is not worth it. I am sorry for you; you are in an environment where you cannot learn to do any right.
But you are still responsible for the rudeness of not posting DDL.

Cannot export query output when using UNION ALL

Hi
I can run a query in SQL Developer 1.5.5 and if it's a SELECT statement it works fine, but if I output the result of several SELECT statements using UNION ALL after some 10,000 records the SQL Developer crashes and it generates a file whose size is 0 kb
Is there a workaround for this??
Thanks and Regards!
Isaac

Should be fixed in the upcoming 2.1... you can try the RC1 also...

Need sql query to remove duplicates using UNION ALL clause

Hi,
I have a sql query which has UNION clause.But the UNION clause is causing some performance issues.
To overcome that I have used UNION ALL to improve performance but its returning duplicates.
Kindly anyone send a sample SQL query where my primary objective is used to use UNION ALL clause and to consider unique rows (elimating duplicate
ones)
Any help will be needful for me
Thanks and Regards

Avoid displaying duplicates records?

I have the following query to display records from two tables:
select * from COLLATERAL CL, COLLATERAL_REF CF where CF.ACCOUNT_NUMBER like '1000000001%' AND CF.COLLATERAL_ID=CL.COLLATERAL_ID
How do i change this query to avoid duplicate collateral_id's?.
Collateral_id is the primary key on Collateral table and foreign key on Collateral_ref table.
null

Thanks isotope for your reply.
I just ran the query and I get 00904:"cl"."collateral_id": invalid identifier.
Here is my table structure:
Collateral (Collateral_id is Primary Key):
Collateral_id Collateral_type Description Serial_Number ..
1 Title 97 Accord 111111
32 Mortgage 122 Grand Av
26 Title          2008 BMW 222222
Collateral_Ref (Collateral_id is foreign key)
Collateral_id Account_Number      Description ..
1          100000001 111111111     97 Accord
1          100000001 222222222     97 Accord
32          100000001 444444444     122 Grand Av
32          100000001 333333333     122 Grand Av
32          100000001 999999999     122 Grand Av
26          200000001 222222222 2008 BMW
So, My query currently returns all the duplicate (1 twice and 32 thrice)
expected results should be:
Collateral_id Collateral_type Description ..
1 Title 97 Accord
32 Mortgage 122 Grand Av

Using union all and rownum

Hello again.
Another question.
Can I query with union all and stop it when I get N rows.
For example:
select 1 from dba_segments
union all
select 2 from dba_segments where
union all
select 3 from dba_segments where;
and get the 100 first rows without doing the whole query:(not like that-->)
select * from (
select 1 from dba_segments
union all
select 2 from dba_segments where
union all
select 3 from dba_segments where)
where rownum < 100);
I want the query will stop when there are 100 rows in the result set.
thank you!

You already posted your own answer. It just seems you don't want to use it.
ROWNUM is NOT assigned until the rows are selected to be returned. So you need to wrap the three inner queries into a query that uses ROWNUM.

Performance using UNION ALL

Hello
i have 2 schemas S1 and S2 containing complex relational tables. The tables in each schema are related to each other via foreign key relationships. i made views for feature tables in both the schemas , querying column values from their related tables.
the data structure in both the schemas are exactly the same. Dut to management reasons we have to split them in 2 schemas. S1 contain data for region A and S2 contains data from region B. Now the client wants to see a combined data from region A & B.
we are planning to create another schema S3 and make views combining views from S1 and S2 in both schemas (V1 in S1 + V1 in S2) using UNION ALL.
Does UNION ALL will make use of the indexes we already built for parent tables in S1 and S2? Will there be a performance degradation using this approach? What can be the best approach? Our client needs to see real time data....
regards
sam

Since union does an extra sort it has a performance difference compared to union all.

Drill down problem when using union all combination

Hi All,
I have a simple report with a drill down. The report has three columns Region, Sales, Flag... which will drill down to detail level of sales. The Flag column has Y, N values and we added 'All' Value in flag so that the user can select Y, N and All from the table prompt in the report . We have used union all in the report using combination to add the ' All ' Value in the flag. The problem is that now the main report is not passing the Flag values to the detail report. Flag is prompted in the filter in detail report.
If I remove the 'All' value from Analysis with only Y N selection criteria the drill down works.
Is there any work around? I have to use table prompt and All value selection in flag for drill down.
Thanks,
Virat

The problem is without union all when doing combination of analysis drill down works, when I use combination drill down does not work because it does not pass the parameters for flag . I have used union all to add All value in flag.

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'.

You don't have to do a UNION or UNION ALL in PL/SQL but you would need to in SQL to get the desired output:
with data_recs
as (select 'Mohinish' first_name,12212 emp_id,'SI' designation,46000 salary from dual union
     select 'Ram',11212,'SSI',47000 from dual union
     select 'Shyam',12133,'SI',48000 from dual union
     select 'Rick',9898,'SI',46000 from dual union
     select 'Rocky',12312,'SSI',56000 from dual union
     select 'Sariq',23948,'SI',43000 from dual union
     select 'Suman',12789,'HR',49000 from dual union
     select 'Sampy',12780,'SI',46000 from dual union
     select 'Parna',11111,'HR',50000 from dual)
select first_name, emp_id, designation, salary from data_recs union all
select s.first_name, s.emp_id, s.designation, s.salary
from (select first_name,
               emp_id,

          from data_recs
         order by designation, salary) s

Query displaying duplicate records

I have written a query to display materials having no purchasing group.
Can any one plz tell me that why it is displaying duplicate results.
Thanks

Trying to create table using Union All Clause with multiple Select stmts

The purpose of the query is to get the Substring from the value for eg.
if the value is *2 ASA* then it should come as ASA
where as if the value is *1.5 TST* the it sholud come as TST like wise for others too.
I am trying to execute the below written SQL stmt but getting error as:
*"ORA-00998 must name this expression with the column alias 00998.00000 - Must name this expression with the column alias"*
CREATE TABLE TEST_CARE AS
SELECT row_id, old_care_lvl,SUBSTR(old_care_lvl,3), len FROM test_care_lvl
WHERE LENGTH(old_care_lvl) =5
UNION ALL
SELECT row_id, old_care_lvl,SUBSTR(old_care_lvl,3), len FROM test_care_lvl
WHERE LENGTH(old_care_lvl) =7
UNION ALL
SELECT row_id, old_care_lvl,SUBSTR(old_care_lvl,3), len FROM test_care_lvl
WHERE LENGTH(old_care_lvl) =14
UNION ALL
SELECT row_id, old_care_lvl,SUBSTR(old_care_lvl,3),LEN FROM test_care_lvl
WHERE LENGTH(old_care_lvl) =7 AND old_care_lvl ='Regular'
I want to create the table using the above given multiple select using the Union ALL clause but when trying to create run the query getting error as "ORA-00998 must name this expression with the column alias 00998.00000 - Must name this expression with the column alias"
Please guide me how to approach to resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

When you create a table using a SELECT statement the column names are derived from the SELECT list.
Your problem is that one of your columns is an expression that does not work as a column name SUBSTR(old_care_lvl,3)What you need to do is alias this expression and the CREATE will pick up the alias as the column name, like this:
CREATE TABLE TEST_CARE AS
SELECT row_id, old_care_lvl,SUBSTR(old_care_lvl,3) column3, len FROM test_care_lvl
WHERE LENGTH(old_care_lvl) =5
UNION ALL
SELECT row_id, old_care_lvl,SUBSTR(old_care_lvl,3), len FROM test_care_lvl
WHERE LENGTH(old_care_lvl) =7
UNION ALL
SELECT row_id, old_care_lvl,SUBSTR(old_care_lvl,3), len FROM test_care_lvl
WHERE LENGTH(old_care_lvl) =14
UNION ALL
SELECT row_id, old_care_lvl,SUBSTR(old_care_lvl,3),LEN FROM test_care_lvl
WHERE LENGTH(old_care_lvl) =7 AND old_care_lvl ='Regular'
);You may not like the name "column3" so use something appropriate.

Command Query using UNION

Hello,
I may be barking up the wrong tree and asking this question in the wrong forum so please accept my apologies if this is the case.
I have access to a MYSql database through a ODBC connection and would like to create a report based on four tables (let's say A, B, C and D) where tables A & B hold biographical data and tables C & D contain different attribute detail with identical column names (attrib_name and attrib_desc) that relate to A & B .
The report I would like to create will list records from both A and B along with corresponding records from C and D merged into two columns attrib_name and attrib_desc.
I have tried a couple of versions of a union query but I just cannot seem to get it to generate the correct output.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Paul

hi Paul,
Command objects are written in syntax specific to the database that you're using, so you may be best off looking at mysql forums instead. plus you haven't really stated what the issue is that you experiencing.
given the above, here's a couple basic things about UNION syntax...
1 the number of fields selected must be the same
2 the corresponding fields should be in the same sequence
3 the types (e.g. date, integer) must match
4 in your SELECT statement use an AS 'name' for each field so that the field names match up in both sets in the query
you may also wish to use a UNION ALL instead of a UNION as UNION ALL will ensure that all records are brought back as opposed to UNION which does a check on a virtual record set to ensure that there's no duplicates...this in turn can cause performance to suffer a bit.

Inventory on Hand Report - Using Union ALL - need two fields to be part of the group

Hi all,
I have created an Inventory "on Hand" Report that takes the Current Inventory from the Item Entry table and the Sales from Unposted Sales Line table and Transfers in and out from the Unposted Transfer Line table. I have joined the tables
using the UNION ALL function.
My problem is that the Transfer table has two locations whereas the other tables only have one. I am grouping on Location code from the Item Entry table which is equivalent to BOTH Transfer from location and the Transfer to.
As an example, there are 15lbs of inventory for Product A in Location #1 with a transfer out of 15 lbs. The Transfer out is going to Location #2
I don't know how to write the query or set up the group so that it recognizes both the Transfer to and the Transfer From fields
I want the report to look similar to the one below but I can only get it to show one of the locations. Is there some way to use the Union function and have one field in the first table be or equivalent to two fields in another?
Location Code
Item No.
Lbs
Sales Orders
Transfer Out
Transfer In
Available Inventory
Location #1
Product A
15
-15
Location #1
15
-15
Location #2
Product A
15
15
Location #2
15
15

Hi Igor,
You can get a custom sort order added to your IP column without the need for a second column.
Consider that the sorting is done strictly left-to-right across a string in the column. The string can be any valid HTML content. So, you could wrap your string within, say, a SPAN tag and add an attribute to that tag that contains the sort order you need before the text that is displayed to the user. As long as the attribute is correctly structured (that is, all instances are of the same length, for example), then sorting will work correctly. For example:
SELECT
'' || IP || '' Y
FROM ...Now you need to ensure that the PAD_IP_ADDRESS() function returns the correct values. In IP addresses, you have anything from "0.0.0.0" to "255.255.255.255". To get them to sort "numerically", you need to pad one or two digit numbers to get three digit numbers for each value - so, "0.0.0.0" becomes "000.000.000.000". You could create a function to do this - something like:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION PAD_IP_ADDRESS
pIP IN VARCHAR2
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
vIP VARCHAR2(15);
vTEMP APEX_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;
vSEP VARCHAR2(1);
BEGIN
vSEP := '';
vIP := '';
vTEMP := APEX_UTIL.STRING_TO_TABLE(pIP,'.');
FOR x IN 1..vTEMP.COUNT
LOOP
 vIP := vIP || vSEP || TRIM(TO_CHAR(TO_NUMBER(vTEMP(x)),'000'));
 vSEP := '.';
END LOOP;
RETURN vIP;
END;The output from this would look something like:
1.1.1.1
2.255.255.255
10.1.199.098Andy

Select query-using Union All display duplicate records.
