Select with IF ELSE statement
I was wondering if I could have a select statement like this in my cursor:
Cursor1 (contactno integer) is
select * from customer where
customer_id = 100
and
if handphone_number is not null then
handphone_number = contactno
else
housephone_number = contactno
end if;If it is not possible, how should I go about it?
Edited by: JoannaLee on Sep 4, 2008 10:18 PM
this statement itself is incorrect
select * from customer where
customer_id = 100
and
if handphone_number is not null then
handphone_number = contactno
else
housephone_number = contactno
end if;
because if handphone number is not null then you join with handphone_number = contactno else also handphone_number = contactno
in both cases you are joining the same column, so if conditions shouldnt be used here,
select * from customer where
customer_id = 100
and housephone_number = contactno

If the string you are comparing is actually the same object it will reply with 'true' also id both Strings are generated with quotes in the same methos and they contain the same string it will also work. This because the compiler will optimize your creating 2 identical Strings to 1 crete statement.
String a = "Hello";
String b = "Hello";
String c = new String("Hello");
String d = "He" + "llo";
String e = "He";

a == b ==> true : because of optimization
a == c ==> false: because of different objects
a.equals(c) ==> true

a == e ==> false : because of different objects -
Simple stored procedure - select with an if statement, returning a cursor
Hi,
I'm trying to create a very simple stored procedure, but having never worked with them before I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.
Here's my code:
create or replace
procedure contact_return(
v_contact_id IN varchar2,
p_cursor OUT SYS_REFCURSOR)
AS
begin
set sql_statement varchar2(4000) := '
SELECT URN,
FIRSTNAME,
LASTNAME,
TITLE,
CREATED_DT,
AREA_URN,
MOBILE,
WORK,
EMAIL,
ORG_NAME,
ADDRESS,
POSTCODE,
IN_USE
FROM CONTACT';
if v_contact_id is not null then
sql_statement := sql_statement || ' where urn = ' || v_contact_id;
end if;
open p_cursor for sql_statement;
end;
It's actually returning 2 errors:
Error(7,3): PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
Error(7,7): PL/SQL: ORA-00922: missing or invalid option
Which seem to be a problem with my set sql_statement line, but it looks correct to me?

Well, you can declare after the begin, though it'll be as part of an embedded code block e.g.

Problem with if/else statement for adventure game
Can anyone offer a hint as to why I am getting a null value printed out in the last line. I have comments that indicate what progress or validation step has occurred to move forward. There is something obviously not working with my user input if/else block. It's supposed to the user input, n,s,e, or w and execute the code, nextRoom = current.get*(); * - referring to whatever direction is specified by the user. For instance if the user enters "e", then this code is executed ... nextRoom = current.getEast(); and the players' new room is set to this room: player1.setCurrentRoom(nextRoom).
That is not what is currently happened as validated by the last line System.out.println(player1.getCurrentRoom()); which prints null; This must be something obvious no?
Room r1 = new Room(); //instantiates new room r1
r1.setName("Hallway"); //sets r1's name to Hallway
r1.setDescription("Long and dark. There are exits to the north, east and west");
Room r2 = new Room(); //new room2, etc...
r2.setName("Bathroom");
r2.setDescription("Bathroom stinks. There are no doors other than the entry");
Room r3 = new Room();
r3.setName("Kitchen");
r3.setDescription("This is where the food is cooked");
Room r4 = new Room();
r4.setName("Master Bedroom");
r4.setDescription("Bedroom of the master");
r1.setEast(r2); // sets r2 east of r1
r1.setWest(r3); //sets r3 west of r1
r1.setNorth(r4); //sets r4 north of r1
System.out.print("The room east of r1 is: "); // this is simply a check to verify that it has set the room properly and it does
System.out.println(r1.getEast());
System.out.printf("You are currently in the %s", r1.getName());
System.out.println(); //another validation step
System.out.println("There are exits on the north end of the\n" +
"hallway and midway on both sides\n");

Room current = player1.getCurrentRoom();
System.out.println(current); //as a double check this does print out the correct value for current, which is the Hallway

$msg.body = "A name change request for $FNAME $LNAME was succesfull"
$smtp.Send($msg)
Start-Sleep 8
Which has no open and closing brackets for the while loop, then at the end of the script you have
#Remove-Item C:\New_Account\namechanges.csv
Else
"Something went wrong"
That else has no opening If statement.....I would fix these issues first, straighten your code out a bit and see if it works then, as the no opening and closing brackets on the While loop and the extra else statement, may be giving you some issues.

Looking for a best query for multiple IF Else statement in a single select
Hi
I want to run multiple IF Else statements in a single select SQL, each statement is one SQL operating on the same table, what is the best way to write this select SQL query ?
If it is PL/SQL, when i get the result from the first IF statement I will skip the remaining execution, and so on... Can any one help me on this.
Thanks in advance !!965818 wrote:
I Apologize, the information i have given might not be enough.
This is my scenario,
I am selecting set of rows from the table for the employee id. After selecting those records,
i need to go through the result list and check the condition 1, if it is met, i will return that employee record.
If that condition 1 is not met, then i need to go through the condition 2. If that is met, i will return that record.
Like wise, i have four conditions.
I am trying to achieve this in a single sql. If i am not clear, please let me know.Not fully clear yet, but the picture is better already. The thing with SQL is that you should stop thinking procedurally. Instead think in data sets.
For example if the task is:
Find all managers that work in sales.
Procedural thinking would work like this:
pseudo code
Loop over all employees that work in sales
for each row
check if it is a manager
if manager
then return record
else
do nothing
end
end loopThinking in datasets will result in a different logic
pseudo code
select all employees
where department = SALES
and job = MANAGERThis advantage here is that all the "Do nothing" loops are not needed. Those are already eliminated by the database.
So what is needed to help you? Give the full picture. What is your task that you try to solve. From a business perspective. -
If..then..else statement in SQL with 'generalized' conditions in the if sta
it is possible to write something approaching an if..then..else statement in SQL with 'generalized' conditions in the if statement.
Attached is the query for the payment register, in which I've written a series of decode statements, one for each possible value of the payment code. The query works OK - however, its specific and as the number of paycodes expand (and they do), the report won't pick up the new paycode until the code is changed. More importantly, the report won't be correct until someone 'discovers' that a paycode is missing, which might take months.
If I were writing the equivalent of this series of decode statements in Focus, it would be something like this:
DEFINE.......
PAYMED/D12.2 = IF PAYMENT_CD LE 18
THEN PAYMENT_AMT
ELSE 0 ;
PAYIND/D12.2 = IF PAYMENT_CD GE 19 AND PAYMENT_CD LE 49
THEN PAYMENT_AMT
ELSE 0 ;
PAYEXP/D12.2 = IF PAYMENT_CD GE 70
THEN PAYMENT_AMT
ELSE 0 ;
PAYREC/D12.2 = IF PAYMENT_CD GE 50 AND PAYMENT_CD LE 69

As you can see, this is both much easier to write and covers the possibility of expansion of paycodes (expansions always fit in these defined ranges).
My question is, then, is it possible to write something like this in SQL and, if so, could you give me some sample code? (I'm one of those people who learn best from looking at the code as opposed to a set of instructions)Here is one way you could do it.
Create a table that has columns like:
Payment_code varchar2(2),
Effective_Date Date,
Payment_type varchar2(20),
Expiration_Date Date)
Payment type for example could be
I- indemnity
M- medical
R- recovery
E- expenses
Let the table name for example be PAYMENT_CODE.
The select query would look like
SELECT ACCOUNT_NAME,
LOCATION_1,
CLMNT_LAST_NAME,
CLAIM_NBR,
DATE_OF_INJURY,
DATE_CHECK_REGISTER,
PAYEE_NAME_1,
PAYMENT_CD,
SERV_OFC,
CPO_CHECK_NBR,
PAYMENT_FORM,
DECODE(p.payment_type,'E',PAYMENT_AMOUNT,0) expenses,
DECODE(p.payment_type,'I',PAYMENT_AMOUNT,0) indemnity,
DECODE(p.payment_type,'M',PAYMENT_AMOUNT,0) Medical,
DECODE(p.payment_type,'R',PAYMENT_AMOUNT,0) recoveries,
DECODE(PAYMENT_FORM, 'N', PAYMENT_AMT, NULL) NONCASH
FROM &INPUT_TABLES,
PAYMENT_CODE P
WHERE P.PAYMENT_CODE = SOMEINPUT_TABLE.PAYMENT_CODE
and other conditions
The idea is to group all the payment codes into a few groups to reduce the clutter. If there is ever a change to the payment code, you could modify the table and it will be reflected in your select query. -
Boolean error with a If else statement
Hello, i am new to java, and the only other programing language i have used is pascal, and compared to java its ALOT different any ways my problem. I am trying to write a simply little program which random selects a number between 1 and 10, i did that fine got to show that on screen with no probelm . Next i wanted to but in a if else statement, depending which numbers was selected it would show a different message this is where i am getting a probelm, here is the code for the whole thing:
// randomColour
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class randomColour {
public static void main ( String args [])
int value;
value = 1 + ( int ) ( Math.random() * 10 );
if (value = "1" )
System.out.println("Green");
else
System.out.println("Blue");
System.exit( 0 );
} // end mainWhen i try to Compile it comes up with error saying required:boolean why is this? and what can i do to change to fix it?A single = is used to indicate assignment. You are testing for equality which requires ==. Also, "1" is a String. Value is an int. Changeif value = "1" to if value == 1Mark

There is an if statement in this servlet which basically checks for null values, that works grand, however, when I added in an else statement (for the try and catch functions), the servlet let won't run. Is it not possible to embed Try and Catch functions with an else loop?

}If what you mean is that you used to have:
if ( clientName == null // ... ... B4 checking their length, then yeah, put that back in. You can't check the length on a null Object.
But why would you remove that? I think you should post the code the way it existed B4 you altered it and let's see the diff. -

Problem with Selection Criteria with 2 or statements.
I have a report with 2 or statements in the selection criteria:
like "US IT GFS INFOSYS*" or
like "US IT GFS INFOSYS*" or
like "US IT GFS INFOSYS*"
I am just trying to do do a count of records. The details has the record # and am doing a distinct count. If I rearrange this or statement, then I get a different count. The above statement gives me a count of 1136. If I rearrange the statement to:
like "US IT GFS INFOSYS*" or
like "US IT GFS INFOSYS*" or
like "US IT GFS INFOSYS*"
I only get 192 records. I don't understand why? Please help.Cara,
When Crystal evaluates an or statement it will stop evaluating after one of the clauses is true. Since the first or clause is returning data, true, it is not evaluating the other 2 clauses. When you change the order I am assuming that the first clause is returning data though different from the original record selection.
You may want to consider using a command object or stored procedure to generate the filter as SQL should evaluate all the or clauses. -
How to total 2 colums with an -If then else- statement each
Hello,
I have 2 colums A en B who generate data based on an “If then else” statement.
Colum A
<?xdofx:if (OMZET_YTD_VJ )!='' then ((OMZET_YTD_VJ) * (BM_YTD - BM_YTD_VJ)) div 100 else 0 end if?>
Colum B
<?xdofx:if (BM_YTD)!='' then ((BM_YTD) * (OMZET_YTD - OMZET_YTD_VJ)) div 100 else 0 end if?>
Colum C needs to be the sum of both. Who can help me?
Thanks a lot.Can you send me the RTF template and xml file to [email protected]? I can take a look and try to help.

IF ELSE statement / CMOD Code in BEX Query
Hi
I have a requirement in Inventory flow.
Material stock value at the end of each quarter has to be calculator based on cycle count indicator. I have all the values on my cube.
In the report, Calender year and quarter is on the selection screen.
When user enters 2014 and Q2, Data for April, May and June are displaying on the report. But user want data only for June.
At the end of quarter 2 is June, so he wants only Material stock value at the end of June.
If a material stock level is changed in April and May and not changed in June, not data is available for June in my Cube.
In this case for Quarter 2, if June data is missing, it has to look for May data. Even if MAY data is missing, it will have to look for April.
Even if April data is missing, it will have to look for March data.
The result should be
Plant Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
XYZ 100 100 100 100
If there is no change to stock level in April, May & June - at the end of Quarter 2, the stock value should be 100 as it was in end of Q1.
If no change was dont to stock level until December, the stock level should be 100.
Is there a way out using IF ELSE statements or through CMOD customer exit.
Regards,
Elango MurgesanHI Elango,
the user input on CALQuarter always would be Single value??or can we expect ranges as well?
if single value,
then we can achieve it by having one more dummy KF.
lets say. user input is Q2.
-> in your dummy KF, restrict the Calquarter/Calmonth to last quarter(i.e Q1)using customer exit and make the logic as you said above(last value based on calmonth).(make this KF hidden, as this is not required to display)
-> and in another KF restricted with Q2.Same logic, last value on Calmonth.((make this KF hidden, as this is not required to display)
and now you have 2 KFs in your report. So in a formula, you can have condition-> if Q2 KF is blank, then Q1KF, else Q2 KF.
Hope you are getting my idea.. Please try this and let us know.
** if Q1 also null, then we can extend customer exit logic to may be last one year, and having last value on based on calendar month, we can still achieve i guess.

Sakthi. -
Help with if/else in displaying data - (possibly foreach)
Hello all,
I've been trying to set something up, and I'm having difficulty getting it to work.
Lines 84-111 have become my biggest difficulty. I've got an if/else statement set up so that if one record has an image located on the localhost that image is pulled up. The way I have it now, this works great.
If I swap lines 93-96 with 102-105, and just tweek line 90, I can get it to work if the image is located on an alias and not the localhost.
The problem is that if I have it like it is now, I can't get both to work at the same time. So, I'm trying to get the if/else statement to apply to each record that is being pulled up. It seems like what it is doing now is choosing which part of the if/else statement it needs to use for the first record, and then applies that for all records.
Is there a way to have it coded like it is now for the if/else statement (because I want to be able to add multiple alias' and just check to see if the image is on the localhost or not); but have the image be displayed no matter if the image is located on the localhost or an alias?
The following is what I've got so far:
<?php
$search = $_GET['series'];
$query_begin=" SELECT * FROM movies WHERE movie_name_series = '$search' ";
$search_begin = mysql_query($query_begin) or die(mysql_error());
$row_begin = mysql_fetch_assoc($search_begin);
if($row_begin == 0){
?>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
setTimeout('Redirect()',0000);
function Redirect()
location.href = 'index.php?content=noresult';
// --></script>
<?php
else
$query_display = "SELECT * from series WHERE series_id = '$search'";
$result_display = mysql_query($query_display);
$row_display = mysql_fetch_array($result_display, MYSQL_ASSOC);
$series_id = $row_diaplay['series_id'];
$series_name = $row_display['series_name'];
?>

I've looked through a number of tutorials and it's been indicated to use a for each loop. However, I can't seem to get this to work. Is there anything I can do to get this to work the way I am trying to? Is it a problem with my if/else or do I need a for each? If I need a for each, how do I do that?
Thanks.Thank you for your reply. I apologize for not being as clear as I needed to be, so I'll try and explain better.
I've got a page that pulls up some records from a database, where I've got an if / else statement as part of the section where it displays the data.
<?php
if ($row['alias_name']='localhost') {
?>
<input onmouseover='this.src="assets/icons/play_movie.png"'
onmouseout='this.src="movies/coverart/<?php echo $row['art']; ?>"'
type="image" src="movies/coverart/<?php echo $row['art']; ?>"
style="border: none" height="150" width="110" />
<?php
}else{
?>
<input onmouseover='this.src="assets/icons/play_movie.png"'
onmouseout='this.src="http://<?php echo $row['ip_address']; ?>/<?php echo $row['alias_name']; ?>/coverart/<?php echo $row['art']; ?>"'
type="image" src="http://<?php echo $row['ip_address']; ?>/<?php echo $row['alias_name']; ?>/coverart/<?php echo $row['art']; ?>"
style="border: none" height="150" width="110" />
<?php
?>
When the records are pulled, it seems like only the first part of the if / else statement is being applied to every record that is being pulled. The problem is if I've got records like the following:
Record one - (file on the host computer)
needs to be displayed from the condition
src="movies/coverart/<?php echo $row['art']; ?>"
Record two - (file on networked external hard drive)
needs to be displayed from the condition
src="http://<?php echo $row['ip_address']; ?>/<?php echo $row['alias_name']; ?>/coverart/<?php echo $row['art']; ?>
The way it's coded now, only record one will display the image (record two will not display the image). If I swap the order of the conditions, only record two will display the image (record one will not display the image).
How do I get both record one and record two to display the image when both appear on the same page from a single search query?
If I still did not explain it well enough, please let me know and I will try and do better. Again, thank you for your help.
