Small query  i Need ...

hi
i need a small query..
here four columns are there..
i want to need .between in two columns like
u_month between and  u_empid between
May i know how can i write the query...
select U_empid,U_month,U_year,DocEntry    from  [@PR_OREIMCLM]
where U_empid  between 843 and  846 and U_month  between dec and  apr
u_empid u_month   u_year    Docen
843
DEC
2013
1
827
FEB
2014
2
846
APR
2014
3

Hi,
Could you try this,
select U_empid,U_month,U_year,DocEntry    from  [@PR_OREIMCLM]
where U_empid  between 843 and  846 and
U_month in ('Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec')
If U_month is datetime datatype, then we can use like
select U_empid,U_month,U_year,DocEntry    from  [@PR_OREIMCLM]
where U_empid  between 843 and  846 and
substring(DATENAME(month,U_month),0,4) in ('Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec')
or
select U_empid,U_month,U_year,DocEntry    from  [@PR_OREIMCLM]
where U_empid  between 843 and  846 and
month(U_month) between 4 and 12
Hope this helps you...
Thanks & Regards,

    First thing that i notice in this query is you are Using Distinct as well as Group by.
    Your group by will always give you distinct results ,then again why do you need the Distinct?
    For example
    WITH t AS
         (SELECT 'clm1' col1, 'contract1' col2,10 value
            FROM DUAL
          UNION ALL
          SELECT 'clm1' , 'contract1' ,10 value
            FROM DUAL
          UNION ALL
          SELECT 'clm1', 'contract2',10
            FROM DUAL
          UNION ALL
          SELECT 'clm2', 'contract1',10
            FROM DUAL
          UNION ALL
          SELECT 'clm3', 'contract1',10
            FROM DUAL
          UNION ALL
          SELECT 'clm4', 'contract2',10
            FROM DUAL)
    SELECT  distinct col1,col2,sum(value) from t
    group by col1,col2Is always same as
    WITH t AS
         (SELECT 'clm1' col1, 'contract1' col2,10 value
            FROM DUAL
          UNION ALL
          SELECT 'clm1' , 'contract1' ,10 value
            FROM DUAL
          UNION ALL
          SELECT 'clm1', 'contract2',10
            FROM DUAL
          UNION ALL
          SELECT 'clm2', 'contract1',10
            FROM DUAL
          UNION ALL
          SELECT 'clm3', 'contract1',10
            FROM DUAL
          UNION ALL
          SELECT 'clm4', 'contract2',10
            FROM DUAL)
    SELECT  col1,col2,sum(value) from t
    group by col1,col2And also
    AND SOL.STATUS_DATE BETWEEN '01-JUN-09' AND '30-JUN-09'It would be best to use a to_date when hard coding your dates.

  • Small query on methods of classes

    Hi,
        I have a small query abt calling methods in oops...How will we get the exporting,importing and exception parameters when we r calling the methods manually without the patterns options ????

    Well,  the best way is of course to use the pattern, but you could also view the signature through SE24. 
    Transaction SE24
    Enter class name, click display/change.
    Click on methods tab.
    Click your method.
    Click the parameters button.
    This will show you the signature of the method, including the importing, exporting, changing, and returning parameters.

  • Query problem - need help

    Hi everyone,
    I need some help from you because before I update my View Object I need to know one value using a Query like this: SELECT cp FROM cpostais WHERE cp4=1234 AND cp3 = 123. The result of the Query I need to save it on a variable (let's call CP) so I can use it to update my View Object. Something like this: currentRow.setAttribute("CPostal", CP);
    I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.2, struts and UIX pages.
    Can anyone tell me how can I do this? I need an example or a tutorial.
    This is really importante, can anyone help me??

  • I don't know if this is a Firefox problem so I ask, When printing how come it always prints so small I nearly need a magnafing glass? Is this caused by something else I may have set incorrectly? help please, from a very satisfied Firefox user

    I don't know if this is a Firefox problem so I ask, When printing how come it always prints so small I nearly need a magnifying glass? Is this caused by something else I may have set incorrectly? help please, from a very satisfied Firefox user

    This only happens when I'm in my browser. Ex. when I'm on a site and I decide I like what I see and want to print it text that is, my printer always prints tiny. When I'm in Microsoft Word for ex. I print it and it looks like what I expect. So I don't know if somehow my printer got set to print tiny when on the web. If you can help me I would be most appreciative. Thanks again for your response.

  • Query advise needed

    Hi
    I have a table as below;
    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblJobs](
    [ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [BatchNo] [int] NULL,
    [BatchDate] [datetime] NULL,
    [InvoiceNo] [int] NULL,
    [InvoiceDate] [datetime] NULL,
    [InvoiceTotal] [money] NULL,
    [InvoicePrinted] [datetime] NULL,
    CONSTRAINT [PK_tblJobs] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
    [ID] ASC
    )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
    ) ON [PRIMARY]
    I have a query grouped on BatchNo as below;
    SELECT BatchNo, SUM(InvoiceTotal) AS BatchTotal
    FROM tblJobs
    GROUP BY BatchNo
    I now need to add a column to this query which has a value '*' for the BatchNo if some rows in the same BatchNo have their InvoicePrinted set to Null. This is basically a warning to user that some invoices in the batch have not been printed. How do I add
    the column in query please?
    Thanks
    Regards

    >> I have a table as below; <<
    No, this is not a table, but you almost got it right. That is so much better than what we usually see here. 
    1. We have a DATE data type now. Use it; itis portable, ANSI and small. 
    2. We never use MONEY; it is proprietary and does bad math-- yes, bad math! Google it. 
    3. IDENTITY is proprietary and not relational. How can the the physical insertion order of
    records into a file on one machine be part of a logical data model? People who were into magic believe in a Kabbalah number like this; but SQL is based on logic.
    4. The affix “tbl-” is a design flaw called a tibble; for details and other errors, you need to read and download the PDF for: 
    https://www.simple-talk.com/books/sql-books/119-sql-code-smells/
    5. Why do you have more NULLs in one table than the entire payroll system of a major automobile company? 
    Too bad you gave us no sample data or specs. I will guess that the invoice numbers are the real key. 
    CREATE TABLE Jobs
    (batch_nbr INTEGER NOT NULL,
     batch_date DATE DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP  NOT NULL,
     invoice_nbr INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
     invoice_date DATE NOT NULL,
     invoice_amt_total DECIMAL (12,2) NOT NULL,
     invoice_print_date DATE – null is not printed 
    Integers for invoice ane batch numbers is a bad design; what math are you doing with them? 
    I have a query grouped on batch_nbr as below;
    SELECT batch_nbr, SUM(invoice_amt_tot) AS batch_amt_tot
     FROM Jobs
    GROUP BY batch_nbr;
    >> I now need to add a column to this query which has a value '*' for the batch_nbr if some rows in the same batch_nbr have their invoice_print_date set to NULL. This is basically a warning to user that some invoices in the batch have not been printed.<<
    SELECT batch_nbr, SUM(invoice_amt_tot) AS batch_amt_tot,
           CASE WHEN COUNT(*) > COUNT(invoice_print_date)
                THEN 'missing print jobs'” ELSE 'batch done' END
     FROM Jobs
    GROUP BY batch_nbr;
    But I would use
     (COUNT(*)- COUNT(invoice_print_date)) AS missing_print_cnt
    To get the exact number you are short.

    Would appreciate any help on this query.

    Hi,
    What does 1st 10%, 2nd 10% etc. mean?
    Is it 0-10%, 11-20%, 21-30%....
    If so, combination of floor,decode and division should help to
    achieve the result.
    For example for the followint table,
    NAME SALE
    SALES_GROUP1 .2
    SALES_GROUP1 1
    SALES_GROUP1 9
    SALES_GROUP2 2.1
    SALES_GROUP2 12.2
    SALES_GROUP2 19.9
    SALES_GROUP3 22.2
    write,
    select name,decode(floor(sale/10),0,sale,null) "1st10%",
    decode(floor(sale/10),1,sale,null)"11to20%",
    decode(floor(sale/10),2,sale,null) "21to30%"

    I mean, using floor and division, your rounding all values b/w 0 to 10 as 0
    Similarly, 11 to 20 has be rounded to 1 etc...then apply decode function it
    to achive the result.
    I hope this helps.

  • Query help needed for querybuilder to use with lcm cli

    Hi,
    I had set up several queries to run with the lcm cli in order to back up personal folders, inboxes, etc. to lcmbiar files to use as backups.  I have seen a few posts that are similar, but I have a specific question/concern.
    I just recently had to reference one of these back ups only to find it was incomplete.  Does the query used by the lcm cli also only pull the first 1000 rows? Is there a way to change this limit somwhere?
    Also, since when importing this lcmbiar file for something 'generic' like 'all personal folders', pulls in WAY too much stuff, is there a better way to limit this? I am open to suggestions, but it would almost be better if I could create individual lcmbiar output files on a per user basis.  This way, when/if I need to restore someone's personal folder contents, for example, I could find them by username and import just that lcmbiar file, as opposed to all 3000 of our users.  I am not quite sure how to accomplish this...
    Currently, with my limited windows scripting knowledge, I have set up a bat script to run each morning, that creates a 'runtime' properties file from a template, such that the lcmbiar file gets named uniquely for that day and its content.  Then I call the lcm_cli using the proper command.  The query within the properties file is currently very straightforward - select * from CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_ANCESTOR = 18.
    To do what I want to do...
    1) I'd first need a current list of usernames in a text file, that could be read (?) in and parsed to single out each user (remember we are talking about 3000) - not sure the best way to get this.
    2) Then instead of just updating the the lcmbiar file name with a unique name as I do currently, I would also update the query (which would be different altogether):  SELECT * from CI_INFOOBJECTS where SI_OWNER = '<username>' AND SI_ANCESTOR = 18.
    In theory, that would grab everything owned by that user in their personal folder - right? and write it to its own lcmbiar file to a location I specify.
    I just think chunking something like this is more effective and BO has no built in back up capability that already does this.  We are on BO 4.0 SP7 right now, move to 4.1 SP4 over the summer.
    Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.
    thanks,
    Missy

    Just wanted to pass along that SAP Support pointed me to KBA 1969259 which had some good example queries in it (they were helping me with a concern I had over the lcmbiar file output, not with query design).  I was able to tweak one of the sample queries in this KBA to give me more of what I was after...
    SELECT TOP 10000 static, relationships, SI_PARENT_FOLDER_CUID, SI_OWNER, SI_PATH FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS,CI_APPOBJECTS,CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE (DESCENDENTS ("si_name='Folder Hierarchy'","si_name='<username>'"))
    This exports inboxes, personal folders, categories, and roles, which is more than I was after, but still necessary to back up.. so in a way, it is actually better because I have one lcmbiar file per user - contains all their 'personal' objects.
    So between narrowing down my set of users to only those who actually have saved things to their personal folder and now having a query that actually returns what I expect it to return, along with the help below for a job to clean up these excessive amounts of promotion jobs I am now creating... I am all set!
    Hopefully this can help someone else too!
    Thanks,
    missy

  • Pagination query help needed for large table - force a different index

    I'm using a slight modification of the pagination query from over at Ask Tom's: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/07-jan/o17asktom.html]
    Mine looks like this when fetching the first 100 rows of all members with last name Smith, ordered by join date:
    SELECT members.*
    FROM members,
        SELECT RID, rownum rnum
        FROM
            SELECT rowid as RID
            FROM members
            WHERE last_name = 'Smith'
            ORDER BY joindate
        WHERE rownum <= 100
    WHERE rnum >= 1
             and RID = members.rowidThe difference between this and the one at Ask Tom's is that my innermost query just returns the ROWID. Then in the outermost query we join the ROWIDs returned to the members table, after we have pruned the ROWIDs down to only the chunk of 100 we want. This makes it MUCH faster (verifiably) on our large tables, as it is able to use the index on the innermost query (well... read on).
    The problem I have is this:
    SELECT rowid as RID
    FROM members
    WHERE last_name = 'Smith'
    ORDER BY joindateThis will use the index for the predicate column (last_name) instead of the unique index I have defined for the joindate column (joindate, sequence). (Verifiable with explain plan). It is much slower this way on a large table. So I can hint it using either of the following methods:
    SELECT /*+ index(members, joindate_idx) */ rowid as RID
    FROM members
    WHERE last_name = 'Smith'
    ORDER BY joindate
    SELECT /*+ first_rows(100) */ rowid as RID
    FROM members
    WHERE last_name = 'Smith'
    ORDER BY joindateEither way, it now uses the index of the ORDER BY column (joindate_idx), so now it is much faster as it does not have to do a sort (remember, VERY large table, millions of records). So that seems good. But now, on my outermost query, I join the rowid with the meaningful columns of data from the members table, as commented below:
    SELECT members.*      -- Select all data from members table
    FROM members,           -- members table added to FROM clause
        SELECT RID, rownum rnum
        FROM
            SELECT /*+ index(members, joindate_idx) */ rowid as RID   -- Hint is ignored now that I am joining in the outer query
            FROM members
            WHERE last_name = 'Smith'
            ORDER BY joindate
        WHERE rownum <= 100
    WHERE rnum >= 1
            and RID = members.rowid           -- Merge the members table on the rowid we pulled from the inner queriesOnce I do this join, it goes back to using the predicate index (last_name) and has to perform the sort once it finds all matching values (which can be a lot in this table, there is high cardinality on some columns).
    So my question is, in the full query above, is there any way I can get it to use the ORDER BY column for indexing to prevent it from having to do a sort? The join is what causes it to revert back to using the predicate index, even with hints. Remove the join and just return the ROWIDs for those 100 records and it flies, even on 10 million records.
    It'd be great if there was some generic hint that could accomplish this, such that if we change the table/columns/indexes, we don't need to change the hint (the FIRST_ROWS hint is a good example of this, while the INDEX hint is the opposite), but any help would be appreciated. I can provide explain plans for any of the above if needed.
    Thanks!

    SQL> set autotrace off
    SQL> spool offAs you will see, the join query here has to have an ORDER BY clause at the end to ensure that records are correctly sorted. You can not rely on optimizer choosing NESTED LOOP join method and, as above example shows, when optimizer chooses HASH JOIN, oracle is free to return rows in no particular order.
    The query that does not involve join always returns rows in the desired order. Adding an ORDER BY does add a step in the plan for the query using join but does not affect the other query.

  • IPS event query ** Help needed badly**

    Greetings all. Apologies for the dramatic headline but I'm in a bit of a time crunch.
    I have a 4215 running 6.0(3)E1. The device is inline. Below is an event which triggered,
    ========================
    evIdsAlert: eventId=1184881408377311643 severity=low vendor=Cisco
    originator:

    ========================
    I have an external application which pull this same event from the sensor using a query *like* the following,
    wget --user foo --password hoo http://a.b.c.d/cgi-bin/event-server?events=evAlert
    I'm able to pull most of the event information but not all. What I can't seem to get from query is the " deniedFlow: true" value. I'm seeing something like,
    ></attack></participants><actions></actions></evAlert>
    Notice the "deniedFlow: true" information missing between action.
    Is my wget-ish query missing some arguments which is preventing me from pulling all the same information I can see from the CLI?
    Thanks in advance.

    The problem is that you are using the 5.x-style event-server and so you do not see all of the event fields. You need to change the app to pull from the "sdee-server" and then you will see all of the event fields:
    http://a.b.c.d/cgi-bin/sdee-server?events=evAlert

  • Simple Query Help Needed

    I must not be in the right mode today, because this is giving
    me a hard time...
    I have a SQL Server database with 250,000 records. Each
    record represents a medical visit.
    Each record has 25 fields that contain patient diagnosis. A
    visit may show one diagnosis, or it may show as many as 25. Any
    specific diagnosis (250.00 for example) may appear in a field
    called Code1, or a field called Code2.... Code25.
    There are a total of about 500 patients that make up the
    250,000 visits.
    What I need is a report that shows each DISTINCT diagnosis,
    and a listing (and count) of people that have been assigned that
    diagnosis.
    My thought is to first query the table to arrive at the
    unique list of diagnosis codes. Then, in a nested loop, query the
    database to see who has been assigned that code, and how many
    times.
    This strikes me as an incredibly database intensive query,
    however.
    What is teh correct way to do this?

    The correct way to do this is to normalize your database.
    Rather than having 25 separate colums that essentially
    contain the same data (different codes), break that out into a
    separate table.
    Patient
    patientid
    Visit
    patientid (foreign key referencing Patient)
    visitid
    Diagnosis
    visitid (foreign key referencing visitid in Visit)
    diagnosiscode
    order (if the 1-25 ordering of diagnosis codes is important)
    Once you correct your datamodel, what you're trying to do
    becomes simple.
    -- get all diagnosis codes
    select distinct(diagnosiscode) from diagnosis
    -- get a breakdown of diagnosis codes, patients, and counts
    for that diagnosis
    select diagnosiscode, patient.name, count(diagnosiscode) from
    patient left join visit on (patient.patientid =
    visit.patientid)
    left join diagnosis on (visit.visitid = diagnosis.visitid)
    group by diagnosiscode, patient.name

  • Duplicate invoice. Query help needed

    Hi All,
    We need to build a query which addresses the following condition
    Some of the invoices were created against the wrong vendors and that money needs to be recovered. Some of them are already recovered while some are not
    * list out all the duplicate invoices between a particular date range(invoice date) with same invoice num ,same invoice amount and same invoice date.
    * If there are any debit invoice created(invoice number postfixed with CR or ADJ),those particualr invoices should not be included.
    The table below shows two type of invoice, the one with bold(invoice num=193666) has debit invoice created and all the three records related to it should not be a part of output data
    while the record(invoice num=00017321) should be a part of output data.
    INVOICE_NUM     INVOICE_AMOUNT     VENDOR_NUMBER     INVOICE_DATE     ORG_ID
    00017321     233.35     A321     1-Dec-11     95
    00017321     233.35     K452     1-Dec-11     95
    *193666     101.67     EM9B     18-May-12     91*
    *193666     101.67     1B02     18-May-12     91*
    *193666CR     -101.67     1B02     18-May-12     91*
    Below is the query which i wrote to identify the duplicate invoice
    select distinct
    a1.invoice_amount,
    a1.invoice_num,
    (select segment1 from apps.po_vendors where vendor_id=a1.vendor_id) vendor_name,
    a1.invoice_date,
    A1.ORG_ID
    from apps.ap_invoices_all a1,
    apps.ap_invoices_all a2
    where 1=1
    and a1.org_id in (91,95)
    and a1.org_id in (91,95)
    and a1.invoice_date between (to_DATE('01-SEP-2011','DD-MON-YYYY')) AND (to_DATE('01-JUN-2012','DD-MON-YYYY'))
    and a2.invoice_date between (to_DATE('01-SEP-2011','DD-MON-YYYY')) AND (to_DATE('01-JUN-2012','DD-MON-YYYY'))
    and a2.invoice_num=a1.invoice_num
    and a1.invoice_amount=a2.invoice_amount
    and a1.invoice_id<>a2.invoice_id
    and a1.invoice_amount<>0
    order by a1.invoice_amount,a1.invoice_num
    Can anybody share their thoughts on how to modify the query above which checks if there are any debit invoice created and not include in the final output.
    Thanks in advance

    How do I ask a question on the forums?
    SQL and PL/SQL FAQ

  • Query Designer: Need help.

    Hi All,
    This is regarding query issue.
    Is this the right forum for this issue or is there a forum for that?
    Kindly tell me where should i post this kind of issue.
    BTW, below is my issue. I'm finding it hard resolving the defect.
    Needs advice on this issue.
    The user wants a record for a certain organization.
    He/she input all the required parameters.
    Let's say:
    Business leader ID: XXX01
    Begin date: 2010, 2011
    End date: 2010, 2011
    Status: Active
    After executing the report, it returns all of the necessary data records.
    But when he click on variable screen or change selection, then changes "ONLY" the Business leader ID.
    It goes:
    Business leader ID: XXY02
    Begin date: 2010, 2011
    End date: 2010, 2011
    Status: Active
    No Applicable Data were returned.
    User closes the report the reopen.
    He initially entered again with the second ID, parameters now are initially:
    Business leader ID: XXY02
    Begin date: 2010, 2011
    End date: 2010, 2011
    Status: Active
    Then necessary records were returned.
    Question: why is it not returning any data records when he/she change the Business leader ID?
    That problem arises only when Business Leader ID was being changed.
    But when he/she change selection and change the filter on Begin Date, End Date, Status, the report still provide the data.
    The report is not refreshing only when Business Leader ID was being changed.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    You have to check it in your Bex Designer what kind of filter have given report.  I think the variable which are user entering the value in the initial screen which may for hard filter. 
    Open your query in designer and give the details of Variable screen would be very much easy to identify the issue. 
    Just try this
    V1 is the variable for  Business leader ID: XXX01  
    V2 is the variable for  Begin date: 2010, 2011
    V3 is the variable for  End date: 2010, 2011
    V4 is the variable for  Status: Active
    Except V1 variable all can be included in hard filter and Include V1 as restriction. 
    Hope this will help you to close the issue .. if you need any further assistance , please give the screen shot of your report in bex designer.
    Thanks
    BVR
