Selecting duplicates from a table

Hi,
My problem is as follows:
I have a table which has 5 primary keys.
I am getting a 'PK' (primary key) error which suggests that duplicates exist when I sure that this is not the case.
When I attempt to insert a record which is exactly the same as another, the correct on screen validation is displayed. e.g. Employee number and occupation must be unique.
Now in my my table it is possible to have an employee more than once so long as there occupation is also different. If 2 records exist where the employee_no and occupation is the same then this primary key violation should occur.
I suspect that somewhere on the database 'bad sata' exists where there are 2 records that are identical.
How can I query this to find these 2 identical records and check if it is actually bad data causing the problem??
thank for your help in advance

This will output where 2 records are the same. E.g.
it will pick up that two records exist where the
emplyoyee number is the same.
But what I want it to output is when two records are
identical including the primary keys. (so when
employee number and occupation is the same).....Did you run the query of blushadow ?

It would appear that you external table definition and the external data file data do not match up. Post a few input records so someone can duplicate the problem and determine the fix.

Copy selected values from a table control into another table control

hi there,
as seen in the subject i need to copy selected values from a table control into another table control in the same screen. as i dont know much about table controls i made 2 table controls with the wizard and started to change the code... right now im totally messed up. nothing works anymore and i don't know where to start over.
i looked up the forums and google, but there is nothing to help me with this problem (or i suck in searching the internet for solutions)
i have 2 buttons. one to push the selected data from the top table control into the bottom tc and the other button is to push selected data from the bottom tc into the top tc. does somebody has a sample code to do this?

you're funny
i still don't get it... can't believe, there is no tutorial or sample code around how to copy multiple selected rows from a tc.

Get selected elements from a table

Hi all,
I have a requirement like i m enhancing standard component in that i have added one button on click of that i want fetch the selected line item from the table ( which is a normal table). selection mode is auto.
i tried with the following code.
DATA:lr_element TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
lv_index TYPE i.
*--Get selected element
lr_element = wdevent->get_context_element( name = 'CONTEXT_ELEMENT' ).
****Here itself its throughing dump because lr_element is initial***************
*--get selected element index.
lv_index = lr_element->get_index( ).
can any one help me what is the wrong.. else suggest me how to get the selected elements from a table....
Thanks in advance.

*--Get selected element
lr_element = wdevent->get_context_element( name = 'CONTEXT_ELEMENT' ).
if lr_element is bound.
lv_index = lr_element->get_index( ).
endif.
Instead you can directly read the node if that row is a lead selected one.
lo_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'EMP' ). "Emp is node name
lo_ele = lo_node->get_lead_selection( ).
or
lv_index = lo_node->get_lead_selection_index( ).
where is the above code written..is it written in OnLeadSelect event of the TABLE..
can any one help me what is the wrong.. else suggest me how to get the selected elements from a table....
As the selection mode is Auto there is no multiple selection..hence try to use the lead selection only.

How to get selected entity from ADF Table

I'm using EJB and ADF Faces.
I have an ADF Table, and when a row is selected I'd like to be able to get the EJB Entity that was selected, is this feasible?
The reason I would like to do it, is for a Dialog. I have a popup dialog, and in the popup the user can do a search. The results are displayed in the ADF table. When supplying the return value from the dialog:
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(?, null);
I would like ? to be the EJB entity representing the row, because I need to return the value of more than one of the columns. Is this not realistic, or should I just add then to a List and pass that back?
thanks

Thanks KUBA,
I hacked some code from the inbuilt JDeveloper Help. Are you saying there is an easier way than this, or did I state the question poorly and you gave an answer to something else? My english is not always perfect.
This is the code that works for me. (cmdSelect is the submit button on the table)
public String cmdSelect_action() {
//Access the tableSelectMany1 table. Note that the table name
//is taken from the id of the table in the JSF page.
CoreTable table = this.getUserResultsTable();
//Obtain a list of all selected rows from the table
Set rowSet = table.getSelectionState().getKeySet();
Iterator rowSetIter = rowSet.iterator();
//Use the declarative method to get the ADF bindings
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
//Get the object to delete. To do this, you must get the
//iterator binding for the Products in the page definition file,
//and cast it to DCIteratorBinding for further processing
DCIteratorBinding pr_dcib = (DCIteratorBinding)
bindings.get ("queryUserVFindByFullNameIter");
//Loop through the set of selected row numbers and delete the
//equivalent object from the Products collection.
UserV userV = null;
while (rowSetIter.hasNext()){
//get the table row
Key key = (Key) rowSetIter.next();
//set the current row in the ADF binding to the same row
pr_dcib.setCurrentRowWithKey(key.toStringFormat(true));
//Obtain the Products object to delete
RowImpl prRow = (RowImpl) pr_dcib.getCurrentRow();
//using the generated code to execute the declarative method
userV = (UserV)prRow.getDataProvider();
break;
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(userV, null);
return null;
}

Deleting Duplicates from a table

Its a huge table with 52 fields and 30k rows. I need to delete the duplicates based on one of the fields. GROUP BY is taking a lot of time. Is there a quicker way to delete the duplicates using SQL.
Thanks.

How many duplicates have you got? Do you have even a vague idea? 1%? 20%? 90%?
One way would be to add a unique constraint on the column in question. This will fail, of course, but you can use the EXCEPTIONS INTO clause to find all the ROWIDs which have duplicate values. You can then choose to delete those rows using a variant on teh query already posted. You may need to run %ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\admin\utlexcptn.sql to build the EXCEPTIONS table first.
This may seem like some unnecessary work, but the most effective way of deleting duplicates from a table is to have relational integrity constraints in place which prevent you having duplicates in the first place. To paraphrase Tim Gorman, you can't get faster than zero work!

How to select data from a table using a date field in the where condition?

How to select data from a table using a date field in the where condition?
For eg:
data itab like equk occurs 0 with header line.
select * from equk into table itab where werks = 'C001'
and bdatu = '31129999'.
thanks.

Hi Ramesh,
Specify the date format as YYYYMMDD in where condition.
Dates are internally stored in SAP as YYYYMMDD only.
Change your date format in WHERE condition as follows.
data itab like equk occurs 0 with header line.
select * from equk into table itab where werks = 'C001'
and bdatu = <b>'99991231'.</b>
I doubt check your data base table EQUK on this date for the existince of data.
Otherwise, just change the conidition on BDATU like below to see all entries prior to this date.
data itab like equk occurs 0 with header line.
select * from equk into table itab where werks = 'C001'
and <b> bdatu <= '99991231'.</b>
Thanks,

How to select data from a table by passing document number from another tab

How to select data from a table by passing document number from another table.
for eg:-
I want to display name, adres, region from ADRC table
by using field delivery document number
Kind Regards,
Shanbagavalli.S

Hi Shanbagavalli,
There are multiple solutions to this questions a few i will try to answer and then you can take the best required for your requirements.
**Consider that you have a Internal table having document number from other table..
SELECT NAME ADRES REGION FROM ADRC
       INTO IT_ADRC
       FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IT_DOC
       WHERE DOCUMENT_NO = IT_DOC-DOCUMENT_NO.
**Consider that you have 1 document number then
SELECT NAME ADRES REGION FROM ADRC
     INTO IT_ADRC
     WHERE DOCUMENT_NO = W_DOCUMENT_NO.
Hope this solves your problem.

You might want to write this code in a validator on the entity object if it should apply from every screen.

Selecting data from two tables

I am trying to select data from two tables. The only problem that I am running into, is that i am only seeing results from my 'uploads' table. there is also a record in documents where user = 1 that should show up. here is my sql:
$userIDNum = 1;
$sql="Select *
from uploads, documents
WHERE uploads.user = documents.user AND uploads.user = $userIDNum
ORDER BY uploads.title ASC, documents.title ASC";

You'll need to explain a little more about your data and what you are trying to accomplish. Your current sql will select all columns from both the uploads and documents tables but only rows where the user id in both tables match, AND the user id equals 1. Is that not what you are seeing? Where's the code that outputs the results?
