Needs help to retrive the last row in a select query without using rownum

Hi ,
i need to retrive the last row from the select sub query without using rownum.
is there any other way to retrive the last row other than the below query.
is that the ROWNUM=1 will always retrive the 1 row of the select query ?
select from*
*(select ename from employee where dept_id=5 order by desc) where rownum=1;*
Please advise.
thanks for your help advance,
regards,

Actually my problem is ithat while selecting the parents hiearchy of the child data using
CONNECT BY PRIOIR query
I need the immediate parent of my child data.
For example my connect BY query returns
AAA --- ROOT
BBB --PARENT -2
CCC --PARENT-1
DDD IS my input child to the connect by query
Immediate parent of my child data "DDD" ---> CCC(parent -1)
i want the data "CCC" from the select query,for that i am taking the last row of the query with rownum.
I got to hear that using ROWNUM to retrive the data will leads to some problem.It is a like a magic number.I am not sure what the problem will be.
So confusing with using this rownum in my query.
Please advice!!!It's not quite clear what you're wanting, but perhaps this may help?
you can select the PRIOR values to get the parent details if you want...

Select criteria without using SELECTION SCREENs

Hi everybody,
I have a report with a single screen, 4 fields for search criteria and 2 alv grids for the output.
I search db tables with a select statement.
Is it possible to define a select statement that searches for 3 out of 4 criteria, if the fourth input field isn't filled it?
Because right now the select statement doesn't return any data if I leave one parameter blank.
And how can I provide the possibility to define more than one search criteria of one kind withour adding several input fields on the screen?
For example: Data created on 20070101 and 20070105.
I know that most of this can be done with selection screens, but is there a possibility to do this without a selection screen?
Best regards
Tobias

You should use SELECT-OPTIONS on your selection screen. This allows the user to enter all kinds of possiblities, including leaving something blank. Then in your SELECT statement, you use the IN operator.
select-options: s_datum for sy-datum.
select * into table itab
from ztable
where datum IN s_datum.
If you truly do not want to use a Selection-screen, you could hard code values in the SELECT statement or create a range using the RANGE statement. The RANGE statement works exactly like SELECT-OPTION statement but without the selection-screen.

How to compile the hint to force selection statement to use index

Hello expert,
will you please tell me how to compile the hint to force selection statement to use index?
Many Thanks,

Not sure what you mean by compile, but hint is enclosed in /*+ hint */. Index hint is INDEX(table_name,index_name). For example:
SQL> explain plan for
2 select * from emp
3 /
Explained.
SQL> @?\rdbms\admin\utlxpls
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
Plan hash value: 3956160932
| Id | Operation         | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time     |
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT |      |    14 |   546 |     3   (0)| 00:00:01 |
|   1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| EMP |    14 |   546 |     3   (0)| 00:00:01 |
8 rows selected.
SQL> explain plan for
2 select /*+ index(emp,pk_emp) */ *
3 from emp
4 /
Explained.
SQL> @?\rdbms\admin\utlxpls
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
Plan hash value: 4170700152
| Id | Operation                   | Name   | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time     |
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT            |        |    14 |   546 |     2   (0)| 00:00:01 |
|   1 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| EMP    |    14 |   546 |     2   (0)| 00:00:01 |
|   2 |   INDEX FULL SCAN           | PK_EMP |    14 |       |     1   (0)| 00:00:01 |
9 rows selected.
SQL> Hint in the above example is forcing optimizer to use index which resul;ts in a bad execution plan. Most of the time optimizer does not need hints and chooses an optimal plan. In most cases sub-optimal plan is result of stale or incomplete statistics.

Using Rownum and ROwid returns duplicate records

Hi All,
We have implemented pagination as below using rowid and rownum
SELECT
id
FROM
emp
WHERE
ROWID IN
SELECT RID FROM (SELECT
ROWID RID,
ROWNUM RNUM
FROM
SELECT ID FROM emp
WHERE
((T_ID IN (200005,200229,200230,200249,200250,200049))) AND
(dte >= sysdate-90) AND
(LOWER(DESC) = LOWER ('A') AND
LOWER(NVL(FLAG,'0')) != LOWER ('3') AND
LOWER(MODDE) like LOWER ('%210%')) ORDER BY dte ASC ))
WHERE ROWNUM < 11) WHERE RNUM>= 1)) ORDER BY dte emp.ASC
But, we face that - the query inserts duplicate records in consecutive pages. For Eg:
1.if a,b,c,d,e - is returned for first iteration, then for the next iteration - f,g,h,a,y is returned.
Is it because that the Order by clause doesnt have a Unique key column.
Please help. or suggest how to efficietly implement pagination without performance hit

try distinct since you are using only one column it will eliminate any duplicates.
SELECT distinct id
FROM emp
WHERE (ROWID IN ( SELECT RID
                     FROM (SELECT ROWID RID,ROWNUM RNUM
                             FROM (SELECT ID
                                     FROM emp
                                    WHERE ((T_ID IN (200005,200229,200230,200249,200250,200049)))
                                      AND (dte >= sysdate-90)
                                      AND (LOWER(DESC) = LOWER ('A')

                                   ORDER BY dte ASC ))
                            WHERE ROWNUM < 11)

Using Refcursor in Callable Statement without using the Oracle Drivers

Hello all,
Is there anyway to have a stored procedure (Oracle 8i) return a refcursor to my CallableStatement without using the Oracle Thin drivers (i'm now using jdbcodbc). I've tried registering my out parameter with every possible type i can think of...REF, JAVA_OBJECT, OTHER, etc. but with no luck.
Help!!!!

Certainly...I connect to the database using the
jdbcodbc driver and when i execute any of the code, i
get the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-06550:
line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call
to 'PVISUAL_GET'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
It's bombing on the line that i attempt to register
OracleTypes.CURSOR. It works fine when i use the
oracle thin drivers, but i want to get this puppy
working with the JdbcOdbcDriver. Here's the code:
CallableStatement dbCall =
nt dbCall =
(CallableStatement)connection.prepareCall("{ call
PAK_VISUAL_GET.pvisual_get(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?) }");
dbCall.setString(1, sessionKey);
dbCall.setInt(2,
l.setInt(2, Integer.parseInt(storedVizID));
dbCall.registerOutParameter(3,
arameter(3, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
dbCall.registerOutParameter(4,
arameter(4, OracleTypes.NUMBER);
dbCall.registerOutParameter(5,
arameter(5, OracleTypes.VARCHAR);
dbCall.registerOutParameter(6,
arameter(6, OracleTypes.NUMBER);
dbCall.execute();when you don't use oracle thin driver, you cannot use the OracleTypes. but, instead use the java.sql.Types values.Replace dbCall.registerOutParameter(3, OracleTypes.CURSOR); with
dbCall.registerOutParameter(3,java.sql.Types.OTHER). things should be fine.

How to set client within SQL statement without using another pl/sql stmt.

I have a following select statement
SELECT SUM (w.prior_forecasted_costs + w.prior_committed_costs)
FROM xxsuf.job_cost_summary_table w,
apps.pa_periods p,
pa.pa_resources bz,
pa.pa_resource_list_members cz,
pa.pa_tasks dz
WHERE w.project_id = z.project_id
AND w.task_id = dz.task_id
AND dz.task_number '98000'
AND w.resource_list_member_id = cz.resource_list_member_id
AND cz.resource_id = bz.resource_id
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT NULL
FROM pa.pa_tasks zz
WHERE zz.parent_task_id = dz.task_id)
AND w.resource_list_member_id != 1000
AND p.period_name = w.pa_period
AND p.current_pa_period_flag = 'Y'
Above select statement uses pa_periods view which only works when I set my client using "exec DBMS_Application_Info.set_client_info(83);" in Toad or SQL*Plus session.
I was wondering how can I achieve it within select statement. so that I don't have to use another PL/SQL statement to set my client. Is there anyway to set client with my org id within above select statement ?
Please advise.
--Rakesh

You can simply create a function which calls dbms_application_info and use that in your sql statement as in
SQL> create or replace function set_client_info (i_info varchar2)
   return varchar2
as
begin
   dbms_application_info.set_client_info (i_info);
   return i_info;
end set_client_info;
Function created.
SQL> create or replace view v_emp
as
select * from emp where empno = to_number(sys_context('userenv','client_info'))
View created.
SQL> select ename from v_emp where set_client_info(7788) is not null
ENAME
SCOTT
1 row selected.
SQL> select ename from v_emp where set_client_info(7900) is not null
ENAME

Passing parameter into select statement by using function in discoverer

I have created two functions in database named Period_in and Period_out and a global variable g_period_name
I have called Period_out function in VIEW(Select statement where condition).
I have registered Period_in function in discoverer admin then created calculation (called Period_in(:input parameter))in discoverer plus.
My expectation is user will enter period name and that will hit Period_in function and returns 1 and stores entered period name in g_period_name at runtime. then VIEW will executed and fetches data.
But i am getting no data found.
Problem is 2 functions running at the same time in select statement. Please help me to overcome this. Thanks in advance

      RETURN NUMBER
   AS
   BEGIN
      g_period_name := p_period;
      RETURN 1;
   END period_in;
   FUNCTION period_out
      RETURN VARCHAR2
   AS
   BEGIN
      RETURN g_period_name;
   END period_out;

You can use this code:
WITH cte
AS ( SELECT EmpID ,
EmpName ,
[dbo].[udf_testFunction](EmpID) AS testfunctionvalue
FROM #Temp
SELECT EmpID ,
EmpName ,
testfunctionvalue ,
testfunctionvalue * EmpID ,
testfunctionvalue + 2
FROM cte
But using scalar functions in select clause can hurt the performance. Please see this link:

Select statement without into

Hi ,
I am currently working with a include which is already written. The include has a select statement where the into clause is not available.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM cnvmbtrename
        WHERE packid    = p_pack
          AND domname   = space
          AND param     = gc_rfcdest
          AND value_old = ls_rename1-value_old
          AND value_new = ls_rename1-value_new.
This statement works fine when it is sued in some other program, but i does not work in mine. Can someone help me on this front.
Regards,
Rishav

Hi
U make sure all global data are defined in your program too, so:
- Database table:
TABLES cnvmbtrename.
- Selection screen (I suppose):
PARAMETERS: P_PACK....
- Data:
DATA: gc_rfcdest

Need sequence on resultset without using ROWNUM

I need to query some data from a SQLServer 2000 database (which don't
have analytic SQl capibilities) and load it into Oracle 10g Warehouse. It must be
done in a query, SQLServer don't do cursor very well. So I need a ANSI standard Query.
I need a way of putting a sequential number on a result set. SQLServer does not have ROWNUM.
I need a slick equivalent of: select rownum, value1, value2 from <some table>
Can't use ROWNUM

Only for MS SQL Server:
set nocount on
if exists (select * from sysobjects where type = 'U' and name = 'test')
begin
     drop table test
end
/* Create TEST table */
create table test
     id_test int identity not null,
     string char (7),
     constraint pk_test primary key (id_test)
set identity_insert test on
insert into test (id_test, string)
values (1,'string1')
insert into test (id_test, string)
values (4,'string2')
insert into test (id_test, string)
values (12,'string3')
insert into test (id_test, string)
values (17,'string4')
insert into test (id_test, string)
values (29,'string5')
insert into test (id_test, string)
values (31,'string6')
insert into test (id_test, string)
values (42,'string7')
insert into test (id_test, string)
values (45,'string8')
insert into test (id_test, string)
values (61,'string9')
