Simple SQL question

I am a former FoxPro programer who has just started working with the JDBC. I have a quick question about table focus. (I am picking up the JDBC Pocket Reference guide tomorrow so this will hopefully be my only silly question)
How can I retrieve the entire contents of a table to the result set without saying
SELECT * FROM TABLE
This seems this is a very slow alternative to just returning the entire table without going through the whole select process and returning a cursor filled with the data.
In FoxPro (ugh) you can say SELECT TABLE and that would bring the table into focus. Can you do this in Java or are you limited to an entire select statement by the JDBC driver?

I'm not a FoxPro programmer, so I don't know what the difference is between SELECT * FROM TABLE and bringing the table into focus. If it's a remote call to a database, that data's gotta come back someway. Those bytes have to cross the network sometime. I don't see the difference, but them I'm ignorant.
Are you saying that "bringing the table into focus" allows you to grab say the first ten records and then ask for the next ten when you're ready for them?
I'm not sure, but you might be talking about a scrollable ResultSet or maybe javax.sql.RowSet.
But I don't know of any way to avoid that SELECT.
Are you 100% certain that it's a problem? Have you timed the two and compared?
I have a funny feeling that FoxPro might be doing that SELECT * FROM TABLE behind the scenes and perhaps doing some nice caching to make it look fast.
Sorry I haven't been much help. Maybe someone who knows both JDBC and FoxPro will be able to answer with authority. - MOD

Simple SQL question (I think)

I have an SQL newbie question. I have a select query into a table (T1) that contains 2 id numbers (sender and receiver), in addition to other information. The id numbers are mapped, in a separate table (T2), to names. So, we have table T1 with data columns transactionTime (timestamp), sender id (varchar(10)), receiver id (varchar(10), and additional info in each row about transactions. Table T2 has two columns ... name (varchar(60)) and id (varchar(10)), where the id is the same as senders and receivers in the transaction table. I'd to find all transactions between a start timestamp and an end timestamp, and I would like to also display the name associated with each id.
So, as a newbie, I tried (simplified)
select T1.transactionTime, T1.sender, T2alias1.name, T1.receiver, T2alias2.name
from T1, T2 as T2alias1, T2 as T2alias2
where T1.transactionTime > timestamp('aStartTime') and T1.transactionTime < timestamp('anEndTime')
and T1.sender = T2alias1.id and T1.receiver = T2alias2.id
order by T1.transactionTime
This returns some of the rows between the start and end time, but only seems to get records for a single sender, and not all of those.
I've also tried
where T1.transactionTime > timestamp('aStartTime') and T1.transactionTime < timestamp('anEndTime')
and (T1.sender = T2alias1.id or T1.receiver = T2alias2.id)
but that takes a long time to return, and returns more results then there are records in the transaction table.
I obviously am not do this correctly. I just want to get the name associated with the ids. Any help?
None of these look quite right to me, and none return the the data I am looking for

Hi,
This query should give you correct results if, there are all assciated id's and names for both senders and recievers in table2.
SELECT t1.transactiontime, t1.sender,t21.NAME,t1.reciever, t22.NAME
FROM t1, t2 t21, t2 t22
WHERE     t1.transactiontime BETWEEN timestamp(startdate) and timestamp(enddate)
       AND t1.sender = t21.ID
       AND t1.reciever = t22.ID;if either sender's ID or Recievers ID are missing in table2, the whole record will get ignored.
You can try an outer Join get records even if the ID's are missing in table2.
SELECT t1.transactiontime, t1.sender,t21.NAME,t1.reciever, t22.NAME
FROM t1, t2 t21, t2 t22
WHERE     t1.transactiontime BETWEEN timestamp(startdate) and timestamp(enddate)
       AND t1.sender = t21.ID(+)
       AND t1.reciever = t22.ID(+);if you want to know the missing ID's the add a IS NULL caluse.
SELECT * FROM(
SELECT t1.transactiontime, t1.sender,t21.NAME name1,t1.reciever, t22.NAME name2
FROM t1, t2 t21, t2 t22
WHERE     t1.transactiontime BETWEEN timestamp(startdate) and timestamp(enddate)
       AND t1.sender = t21.ID(+)
       AND t1.reciever = t22.ID(+))
WHERE name1 IS NULL or name2 IS NULL;G.

Another simple SQL question?

Can someone help me (an SQL novice) optimize this query?
Assume a table TRANS with four columns ACCOUNT, PURCHASE_DATE,
ITEM_NUMBER, and QUANTITY. (Fairly self evident names, I hope.)
I want to create a view that returns the most recent purchase
date for each account, and the sum of all items purchase on that
date.
The following works, but involves a sub-query, which I think
must be inefficient (the real table I'm working with has about
20 million rows, returning about 1 million rows and takes
hours!):
select unique a.account,
purchase_date,
sum(quantity)
from TRANS a,
(select account,
max(purchase_date) as cdate
from TRANS
group by account) b
where a.account = b.account and
a.purchase_date = b.cdate
group by a.account;
A second, similar query is to find the most recent purchase
date, by account, for each item, and the total quantity of that
item purchased on that date. But, hopefully, an answer to the
first question will lead me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Here is another batch of queries to test. The one on top is the
only one that is drastically different from your query or
anything that David already suggested.

Verbose EXPLAIN PLAN output when asking for explain plan on simple SQL

Hello. In a nutshell I have two issues: first, inability to execute EXPLAIN PLAN via SET AUTOTRACE ON EXPLAIN, and second, extremely verbose output when I log on as SYSDBA to circumvent the first issue.
So, issue number one:

Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you post please provide your 4 digit Oracle Version (result of SELECT * FROM V$VERSION).
>
So, first question, why am I getting this error? ALL_OBJECTS should be available to everybody, no?
>
Your user probably does have access to ALL_OBJECTS. But you need to have dba privileges to access views base objects.
The "ORA-01039: insufficient privileges on underlying objects of the view" message is telling you that the user does not have privileges to access the BASE OBJECTS that used to build the view. Access to those base objects is necessary to generate the plan you are trying to see.
So to circumvent this I log on as sysdba and get the second issue: the following extremely verbose output
>
And that is because sysdba DOES have access to the base objects of the view. You asked for a plan and you got it. That verbose output IS the plan and all of those oddly named tables are being accessed to satisfy your query so are included in the plan.
Do your query using DUAL or the SCOTT.EMP table and you won't get the error.

Urgent SQL question : how to flip vertical row values to horizontal ?

Hello, Oracle people !
I have an urgent SQL question : (simple for you)
using SELECT statement, how to convert vertical row values to horizontal ?
For example :
(Given result-set)
MANAGER COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
K. Smith ......1
K. Smith ...............1
K. Smith ........................1
(Needed result-set)
MANAGER COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
K. Smith ......1 .......1 .......1
I know you can, just don't remeber how and can't find exactly answer I'm looking for. Probably using some analytic SQL function (CAST OVER, PARTITION BY, etc.)
Please Help !!!
Thanx !
Steve.

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the simple sql?

Hi,
I have a simple SQL (see attached). It returns records when it does not include the Order By sorting clause. However, if it includes the Order By clause, Oracle says no data found. Anyone can give me some ideas what could cause the problem?
Thanks in advance.
SELECT ih.item_key, e.episode_key, e.episode_date, wp.work_package_key, p.patient_name, c.codes_key
FROM work_package wp, episodes e, item_header ih, patients p, codes c, station_element se, station_data sd
WHERE wp.work_item_key = e.episode_key
and e.episode_key = ih.item_key
and ih.logical_parent_key = p.patient_key
and e.episode_type = c.code_value
and wp.asgn_station_key = se.item_key
and se.station_name like 'DICT FIX%'
and sd.station_key = wp.asgn_station_key
and (sd.facility = '0' or sd.facility = 1)
and wp.on_hold <> 'Y' and c.code_type = 'CEPT'
and c.setup_group = 1
ORDER BY e.episode_date, e.medrec_no;

Hmmm...can you post a SQL Plus session that demonstrates this?

4 Simple Flash Questions that Are Stumping Me!

What is the Frame Rate for Web Animations
Q1. I am making an animation which will be played on the web. What is the default frame rate (fps) of Flash CS5? And what is the frame rate of for web?
Q2. My animation needs to be 30 seconds long. So at 15 fps that would mean I need to use 600 frames in Flash?
How Do I Mask everything so all I see is the Content on the Stage?
I have a wide image that extends past my movies stage size so when I preview my movie the image is visible. How do I mask out anything that extends past my movies window size? I believe I can create a layer named "mask" and place it above all other layers, but I forget how to make the mask. Any help is appreciated.
How to Fade a Graphic
I have a graphic element (some type) and I want it to fade from 0% to 100%. In older versions of Flash I could just select the symbol and then set it's alpha value to 0%, move a few keyframes and then set the alpha to 100%. Voila! but now it doesn't seem to work that way. How can I do this in CS5?

Ned, it says 24 fps which means there is 24 frames per second so each 24 frames is 1 second.

1 You can create your character as a movieclip and copy/paste that movieclip from one file to another. 2. One way to create a movieclip is to copy all the frame of the animation's timeline (select them all, right click the selection, choose Copy Frames), then create a new movieclip symbol (Insert -> New Symbol...etc) right click on its only keyframe and chhose Paste Frames. THat will put all the layers and frames you copied into the movieclip The only way to come close to being certain about the timing of you animation is to use code to keep track of the time, something like getTimer().. The frame rate that a file plays at is not a reliable means of dictating the time it takes due to a variety of factors which include the amount of content you are trying to process and performance limits of the user's machine.

Stored Procedures for Simple SQL statements

Hi Guys,
We are using Oracle 10g database and Web logic for frontend.
The Product is previously developed in DotNet and SQL Server and now its going to develop into Java (Web Logic) and Oracle 10g database.
Since the project is developed in SQL Server, there are lot many procedures written for simple sql queries. Now I would like to gather your suggestions / pointers on using procedures for simple select statements or Inserts from Java.
I have gathered some list for using PL/SQL procedure for simple select queries like
Cons
If we use procedures for select statements there are lot many Ref Cursors opened for Simple select statements (Open cursors at huge rate)
Simple select statements are much faster than executing them from Procedure
Pros
Code changes for modifying select query in PL/SQL much easier than in Java
Your help in this regard is more valuable. Please post your points / thoughts here.
Thanks & Regards
Srinivas

On the client side, you have an interface that deals with this SQL cursor. It can be a Java class, a Delphi dataset, or a PL/SQL refcursor.
Yes, cursors are created/opened at a huge rate by the SQL engine. But is is capable of doing that. What you need to do to facilitate that is send it SQLs that uses bind variables. This enables the SQL engine to simply re-use the existing cursor for that SQL.
Simple select statements are much faster than executing them from ProcedureAlso not really correct. SQL performance is SQL performance. It has nothing to do with how you create the SQL on the client side and what client interface you use. The SQL engine does not care whether you use a PL/SQL ref cursor or a Java class as your client interface. That does not change the SQL engine's performance.
Yes, this can change the performance on the client side. But that is entirely in the hands of the developer and how the developer selected to use the available client interfaces to interface with the SQL cursor in the SQL engine.
Pros
Code changes for modifying select query in PL/SQL much easier than in JavaThis is not a pro merely for ref cursors, but using PL/SQL as the abstraction layer for the data model implemented, and having it provide a "business function" interface to clients, instead of having the clients dealing with the complexities of the data model and SQL.
I would seriously consider ref cursors in your environment. With PL/SQL servicing as the interface, there is a single place to tune SQL, and a single place to update SQL. It allows one to make data model changes without changing or even recompiling the client. It allows one to add new business logical and processing rules, again without having to touch the client.

Sql question : TRUNCATE vs Delete

hi
this is sql question, i don't know where i should post it, so here it is.
i just want to know the best usage of each. both commands delete records in a table, one deletes all, and the other can do the same plus option to delete specified records. if i just want to purge the table. which one is better and why? thanks

this is crucial to my design, i need to be able to
rollback if one of the process in the transaction
failed, the whole transaction should rollback. if
truncate does not give me this capability, then i have
to consider Delete.From the Oracle manual (sans the pretty formatting):
TRUNCATE
Caution: You cannot roll back a TRUNCATE statement.
Purpose
Use the TRUNCATE statement to remove all rows from a table or cluster. By default,
Oracle also deallocates all space used by the removed rows except that specified by
the MINEXTENTS storage parameter and sets the NEXT storage parameter to the size
of the last extent removed from the segment by the truncation process.
Removing rows with the TRUNCATE statement can be more efficient than dropping
and re-creating a table. Dropping and re-creating a table invalidates the table?s
dependent objects, requires you to regrant object privileges on the table, and
requires you to re-create the table?s indexes, integrity constraints, and triggers and
respecify its storage parameters. Truncating has none of these effects.
See Also:
DELETE on page 16-55 and DROP TABLE on page 17-6 for
information on other ways to drop table data from the database
DROP CLUSTER on page 16-67 for information on dropping
cluster tables
Prerequisites
To truncate a table or cluster, the table or cluster must be in your schema or you
must have DROP ANY TABLE system privilege.

Simple performance question

Simple performance question. the simplest way possible, assume
I have a int[][][][][] matrix, and a boolean add. The array is several dimensions long.
When add is true, I must add a constant value to each element in the array.
When add is false, I must subtract a constant value to each element in the array.
Assume this is very hot code, i.e. it is called very often. How expensive is the condition checking? I present the two scenarios.
private void process(){
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
         if (add)
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] += constant;
         else
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] -= constant;
private void process(){
if (add)
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] += constant;
else
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
       matrix[i][ii][iii][...] -= constant;
}Is the second scenario worth a significant performance boost? Without understanding how the compilers generates executable code, it seems that in the first case, n^d conditions are checked, whereas in the second, only 1. It is however, less elegant, but I am willing to do it for a significant improvement.

I guess my real question is, will the compiler optimize the condition check out when it realizes the boolean value will not change through these iterations, and if it does not, is it worth doing that micro optimization?Almost certainly not; the main reason being that
matrix[i][ii][iii][...] +/-= constantis liable to take many times longer than the condition check, and you can't avoid it. That said, Mel's suggestion is probably the best.
but I will follow amickr advice and not worry about it.Good idea. Saves you getting flamed with all the quotes about premature optimization.

Simple SQL Query and Parameters and LOV

Newbie and trying to work thru building a simple sql query with a single table query and use a parameter and lov.
Can anyone point me to an example.
simple query:
select cust_id, name_desc, name_add1, name_add2, name_city
from customer_table
where cust_id = :cust_parm
This works in straight sql and in the query builder by prompting for the customer ID. When building a parameter using LOV or search, it doesn't seem to detect the variable.
Thanks..

If you are using version 11g, then as soon as you save the query in the data model, it should notice the parameter and ask if you want to add the parameter to the data model. What version of BIP are you using?
What happens if you exclude the parameter from the query and simply hard-code the criteria? Can you generate XML data?
From your wording, it sounds like you're trying to create a parameter from the LOV dialog. LOVs and parameters are totally distinct. After each are created separately, then you configure the parameter to use the LOV.

Simple SQL query statement is needed

I need a simple SQL query to fetch records which is existed in all the departments.
for example: i want to list the employees which are existed in each and every department.. not sure how should i get those.. will anyone help me please.. thanks in advance

I think it would be wise to go to the following training:
Oracle Database <version> : Introduction to SQL
You will get the information you are looking for in five days. You can go find a tutorial on ANSI SQL, as advised by this board for free, to fix your immediate problem with a simple query. But, I personally recommend a more formal class specific to Oracle, as you will also get information about PL/SQL, and you get the benefit with working with other DBA/programmers when you are learning. This will solve your immediate issue, and any future issues with the language.
You can find it in the Education section of the Oracle website.
