SQL Count Syntax

I'm building a top 10 leaderboard for contest entries and am
having some trouble with the sorting on my query. My Query is
almost working perfectly, however it doesn't seem to be ordering by
my new variable, 'entries'. Am I missing something somewhere, or is
my syntax correct? (it doesn't display at all unless I put the
single quotes on the variable entries).
<cfquery name="entry_count" datasource="clients">
select reg_id, count(reg_id) as entries
from targus_promo_entry
group by reg_id
order by 'entries' DESC
</cfquery>
Does anyone have any ideas???
Allison

Hi Allison,
Sql syntax varies by database so its good to post which
database/version you're using.
Try removing the single quotes around 'entries'
select reg_id, count(reg_id) as entries
from targus_promo_entry
group by reg_id
order by entries DESC
But some databases don't allow you to order by an alias, so
you'd have to use something like
select reg_id, count(reg_id) as entries
from targus_promo_entry
group by reg_id
order by count(reg_id) DESC

BTW Oracle outer join operator (+) and ANSI SQL OUTER JOIN syntax are NOT equivalent. Consider following:
DROP TABLE T1;
CREATE TABLE T1 (C1 NUMBER);
DROP TABLE T2;
CREATE TABLE T2 (C2 NUMBER);
DROP TABLE T3;
CREATE TABLE T3 (C3 NUMBER);
-- Following SELECT works:
SELECT COUNT(*)
     FROM T1, T2, T3
     WHERE C2 = C1
          AND C3(+) = C1
COUNT(*)
0
-- But:
SELECT COUNT(*)
     FROM T1, T2, T3
     WHERE C2 = C1
          AND C3(+) = C1
          AND C3(+) = C2
AND C3(+) = C1
ERROR at line 4:
ORA-01417: a table may be outer joined to at most one other table
-- However with ANSI syntax:
SELECT COUNT(*)
     FROM T1
     JOIN T2 ON (C2 = C1)
     LEFT JOIN T3 ON (C3 = C1 AND C3 = C2)
COUNT(*)
0

Perform SQL COUNT from AS3

Hi there all,
Just working away as usual and I've encountered a problem with a flash app I'm making..
I can save and load variables from flash to the mySQL database, but when I load up the results one after the other I eventually run out of results to display, which throws an error !!
Is there a way I can perform an SQL COUNT from flash to determine the amount of results I have in the database and loop the viewer back to the first result ??
Many Thanks in advance for any help

This is how I am parsing and requesting the information.. I know it's in there somewhere I just can't get the variables, do I need to add them ? It's not making much sense to me at the moment, I'm sorry !! I need to add the variables to the request somehow.. so I can receive the info, no ?
var tab = "SQLtab";
var filesend = "path to php file";
var modesend = "post";
function variableTransaction(fichier, modesend, tab, var1, var2) {
     var URLload = new URLLoader();
     var URLrequest = new URLRequest(fichier);
     var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
     variables.tab = tab;
     variables.var1 = var1;
     variables.var2 = var2;
     if (modesend == "post") {
          URLrequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
     } else if ( modesend == "get") {
          URLrequest.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;
     if (var1 == false && var2 == false) {
          URLload.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
          URLrequest.data = variables;
          URLload.load(URLrequest);
          URLload.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete, false, 0, true);
     } else {
          URLrequest.data = variables;
          URLload.load(URLrequest);
          var receiveObject = variableTransaction(filesend, modesend, tab, false, false);

Help with translating SQL query from SQL Server syntax to Oracle syntax

Sql-92 syntax in Oracle Lite 8i

The Oracle Lite documentation instructs the developer to enact this change to polite.ini to use sql-92 syntax:
Running SQL-92 on Oracle Lite
As mentioned in the preceding section,
Oracle Lite uses Oracle SQL by default.
However, if you want to support SQL-92 by
default instead of Oracle SQL, you can
change the SQL compatibility parameter in
the POLITE.INI file to SQL-92. To change
the parameter, add the following in the
POLITE.INI file:
SQLCOMPATIBILITY=SQL92
See the Oracle Lite User's Guide for more
information about the POLITE.INI file.
However this does not appear to have any effect. For instance, this query in the polite sample database:
select product.descrip,price.stdprice
from product FULL OUTER JOIN price
ON product.prodid = price.prodid;
generates a syntax error:
ERROR at line 1:
OCA-30021: error preparing/executing SQL
statement
[POL-5228] syntax error
Is there more steps needed to make Oracle 8i Lite SQL-92 Compatible???

If any of those columns on the LEFT side the OUTER JOIN can be NULL, can you wrap it/them with NVL(,0), and try both counts again, i.e.,

SQL MAX QUERY / SQL COUNT QUERY

Hi all,
i would like to get the value of the number of rows i have, but i dun seem to work it out with the getRow statements. i think the syntax of my statement is ok, but maybe i am doing the wrong way to get the value out.
I tried with COUNT, and it gives me the same error.
The error is: java.sql.SQLException: Column not found
This is the part of my code
Connection con;
String Q;
try{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:RFID Logistics");
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT MAX(Queue) FROM Forklift1");
while(rs.next())
                    Q = rs.getString("Queue");
                    System.out.println(Q);
          catch(ClassNotFoundException f)
               f.printStackTrace();
          catch(SQLException f)
               f.printStackTrace();
Thx alot in advance =)

Please use code tags when posting code. There is a code button above the message editor that inserts the tags.
Do you want to get the number of rows? If soConnection con;
int num = 0;
try{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:RFID Logistics");
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Forklift1");
while(rs.next())
num = rs.getInt(1);
System.out.println(num );
rs.close();
stmt.close();
catch(ClassNotFoundException f)
f.printStackTrace();
catch(SQLException f)
f.printStackTrace();
}This is untested, but should be close enough.

Sql count function in order by clause

Post Author: krypton
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi Guys
Can i ask a quick question. I am trying to retrieve data remotely from a SQL Server via crystal reports.
Within the Database Expert I have entered a SQL query to retrive the number of (call center) support calls raised by our customers:-
Select `Primary_Company`, COUNT(`Calls`)From `SPRT_Issue` GROUP BY `Primary_Company`ORDER BY COUNT(`Calls`) desc
The customer's column is called 'Primary Company' and the calls they raise are in the 'Calls' column. the above is a normal sql query.
However Crystal fails to run the query and generates an error message :-
Failed to open a rowset. Details: 420: Driver] Expected lexical element not found: <identifier>
I dont understand why it wont run. In the ORDER BY clause if i replace field 'Calls' by the field 'Primary Company' then it works.
I think the problem is that it wont accept the count function in the order by clause. which is what i want it to do i.e display the calls in descending order by each customer.
Could someone tell me if there is a way around it.
Thanks
Krypton

CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Thanks Lynn
I tried your suggestion. But there is one probelm.
When i sort the data in descending order using the count(calls) field, the data is returned but the customer's name appears multiple times along with their calls raised.
E.g, if customer Mark raised multiple calls i.e. 2, 5, and 10 calls, then the report will show
Mark 2
Mark 5
Mark 10
But is there a way to aggregate all the calls for mark and show them only once:
such as Mark 17
Thanks

SQL Insert Syntax erro !!! please help

I am getting an a Syntax Error
Sending query: INSERT INTO Customer (custNo, name, address, date) VALUES ('3001005', 'John Ped', '32 Lake st La', '05/07/2004')
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.
Any clues to this problem would be very helpful ....
   if ( !fields.custNo.getText().equals( "" ) &&
              !fields.name.getText().equals( "" ) ) {
              String query = "INSERT INTO Customer (" +
               "custNo, name, address, date" +
               ") VALUES ('" +
               fields.custNo.getText() + "', '" +
               fields.name.getText() + "', '" +
               fields.address.getText() +"', '"+
               fields.startDate.getText() + "')";

Anybody who uses "DATE" for a column name is asking for trouble. First of all, it's a keyword. Second, it's vague. Is it the customer's birthday? The day they were entered into the system? Change that column name to something more descriptive and not a keyword.
You'd also be much better off using PreparedStatement. It'll escape all those Strings and Dates for you properly.

Only thing I can think of is there is some character set issue between the control file and the operating syste/oracle server.
You did you create the control file using a text based editor such as notepad or wordpad didn't you? You haven't used something like MS Word?

PL/SQL - counting values' occurences in a collection - how to optimize?

Hi all,
I'm new here and working currently on my PhD thesis, using Oracle (XE) to do some data manipulation stuff.
Following is defined:
TYPE stat_col_type IS TABLE OF INTEGER;
rows_lens stat_col_type;
Using MULTISET UNION operations, I get the final rows_lens as a set of values, e.g. {1,2,3,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,1,1,2,1,1,4,5,6,2,2,2,3,3}.
What I need is to count the occurences of the unique values :
value of 1 : 7 occurences
value of 2 : 8 occurences
value of 3 : 10 occurences
value of 4 : 1 occurence
value of 5 : 1 occurence
value of 6 : 1 occurence
Ideally, the result should be a separate collection where the values become indexes (there are numbers, natural, unique and countable) and the number of occurences - their values :
output_col( value ) := number-of-occurences ;
Of course, I could just go through all the elements incrementing the counters in the output collection, but surely there must be a most efficient way - probably using POWERMULTISET or some kind of SUBSETS. As haven't been using /developing in/ Oracle for a longer period... it's better to ask :)
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Regards,
Bart

PL/SQL Counter for HTMLDB - Application Express - Survey Counter

I wonder if somebody could help me to clarify the HowTo on this Survey.
Based on:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/index.html
http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/06-mar/o26browser.html
I follow up however that is not exactly what I like to see in my Survey. I like to make something more elegant and flexible.
On this example he put 10 questions/ page. I like to use 1 Question / Page.
And I like to extend to more than 10 pages. for example 20.
My question to the forums is:
If I create an application with Only 3 pages [ Welcome, Survey, End ]
And the main page for the Survey is the second page.
How would programatically be the logic to:
Start the Welcome page => Setup variable counter = 1
Then using sessions with a button click on Start Survey.
Survey Page check for the existence of counter variable if exist retrieve the Question from the Questions table and the properly Answer will be recorded.
This answer could include comments, and the Rating could be an LOV.
After the Question 1 is asnwered then the Next Button on the Page 2 Call the same page 2. If the Questions is the max number of questions [20] then go to the End or Summary Page. if not just increase the counter variable then retrieve the next question.
Am I asking to much ???. I'm just starting on PL/SQL and HTMLDB I'm not sure how to manipulate those variables. I've been trying but I'm stuck.
Thanks in Advance for your Help.

END;I am trying to model the above code off of the example given by apex:
A function that returns a SQL query with two columns:
IF :MY_ITEM='10' THEN
RETURN
'SELECT ename, empno
FROM emp
WHERE depno = 10
ORDER BY 1';
ELSE
RETURN
'SELECT ename, empno
FROM emp
WHERE depno = :my_item
ORDER BY 1';
END IF;~Andrew Schultz

Hi Andrew,
Try something like:
DECLARE
BEGIN
IF :p3_current_a_workshop != 0 THEN
RETURN
' select distinct workshop_title ||'': '' || presenter_name ||''    $''|| workshop_fee display_value, workshop_id return_value '||
' from WORKSHOP '||
' where session_time = ''A'' '||
' and workshop_status = ''Open'' '||
' or workshop_id = :p3_current_a_workshop '||
' order by 1 ';
ELSE
RETURN
' select distinct workshop_title ||'': '' || presenter_name ||''    $''|| workshop_fee display_value, workshop_id return_value '||
' from WORKSHOP '||
' where session_time = ''A'' '||
' and workshop_status = ''Open'' '||
' order by 1 ';
END IF;
EXCEPTION
        WHEN OTHERS THEN
            HTP.PRN('ERROR'||SQLERRM);
END;Regards,
Lev
