SQL Gurus : Need Help in building SQL query

SQL Gurus,
Need your expertise to solve my below problem:
- I have a column that had comma separated data, basically there are the levels in a hierarchy. eg The same column could have the following data:
Row 1: R1L1, R1L2, R1L3
Row 2: R2L1, R2L2
Row 3: R3L1, R3L2, R3L3, R3L4
For assumption purpose lets assume that there are maximum 5 Levels
I want to put this data from this column into another table which holds the levels. I am expecting the output in another table as follows:
Col1____Col2 ____Col3____Col4____Col5
Row 1: R1L1___R1L2____R1L3____null_____null
Row 2: R2L1___R2L2____null_____null_____null
Row 3: R3L1___R3L2____R3L3____R3L4___null
How do i achieve this ? ie coverting the comma separated values in a column to separate columns. The # of values in each columns could be different as I have showb above

Need help in building search query

Guys ..
Problem Description:
I have a huge table that is indexed using CONTEXT.
I want to write a search query that considers the following:
1. number of keywords match
2. takes care of spelling mistakes, synonyms and acronyms
3. proximity - the keywords should not be too far of each other.
e.g. I have this phrase: "Horizontal Stabilizer Trim Brake"
I was thinking of writing a query like:
SELECT SCORE(1) SCORE,
TEXT text
FROM MY_TABLE
WHERE CONTAINS(TEXT, '(Horz | Horizontal) ACCUM (Stab | Stabilier) ACCUM Trim ACCUM (Brk | Break)', 1) >= 0
ORDER BY SCORE DESC
The results doesnt look satisfactory. I have not used "near" operator as i dont know how to use it.
Please help me as I am very much new to Oracle Text.

Well, I'm not going to write the function for you, but we can at least talk through a general strategy.
A lot depends on how you help your users on the front end -- for example, if they're searching a technical document, you may want to return results that aren't perfect matches but you do want to make sure the user picks 'mandatory' and 'useful' keywords in a way that lets you figure out which ones are really important. On the other hand, if you're google and have to handle queries like 'horizontal stabilizer trim brake' and 'were Pete and Jenny in the break room' then you run the risk of spending too much time looking for interesting words, almost doing a full-text search on the query trying to derive meaning.
So I'm going to presume that you have some control over what/how the users generate their searches so that finding keywords isn't the issue.
The plan will be to parse the query a bit to find the interesting words, clean them up, and weigh their importance, then use transformed data to build the query template to score various combinations.
So here's some pseudocode for the function:
function parse_query(pQueryWords in clob) returns clob as
begin
    generate_token_list (); -- split the query into a set of individual tokens/words
    for each token in token_list
        if it's a mandatory word then accumtokenlist := accumtokenlist || ' ' || token ||'*10' -- weigh the presence of the token strongly
        if it's a useful word then accumtokenlist := accumtokenlist || ' ' || token ||'*5' -- domain-specific words are also important
        if it's a stopword or reserved word, then do not add it to the list
        if it's not on my lists, then accumtokenlist := accumtokenlist || ' ' || token
                                     and normaltokenlist := normaltokenlist ||' ' || token
    end;
    --so now, we have two lists, one for NEAR and one for ACCUM
    now build the guts of the template
        querytemplate := querytemplate || '<seq> || normaltokenlist || '</seq>';
        querytemplate := querytemplate || '<seq> || replace (accumtokenlist, ' ',' ACCUM ') || '</seq>';
        querytemplate := querytemplate || '<seq>$' || replace(normaltokenlist,' ','$') || '</seq>';
        querytemplate := querytemplate || '<seq>? || replace(replace(accumtokenlist,' ',' ?'),' ', ' accum ') || </seq>'; -- first fuzzy the words, then accum
        querytemplate := querytemplate || '<seq>? || replace(replace(normaltokenlist,' ',' ?'),' ', ' near ') || </seq>'; -- first fuzzy the words, then near
    return querytemplate
end;So, with a 'cooked' query text that is template-friendly, all we need to do is apply a template that is aware of your inputs:
query_Template_string := '
<query>
   <textquery lang="ENGLISH" grammar="CONTEXT"> horizontal stabilizer*5 trim brake*10
     <progression> '
|| parse_query('horizontal stabilizer trim brake') ||
'     </progression>
   </textquery>
<score datatype="INTEGER" algorithm="COUNT"/>'
</query>So that's an example of one approach.

Ok, first you need to be clear what you are referring to...
By "excel file" are you referring to a CSV file (i.e. a flat file you can load in notepad and look at the data) or are you referring to a ".xls" file that is a MS Excel workbook?
If it's a CSV/flat file then you should use external tables to read the data...
http://www.psoug.org/reference/externaltab.html
If it's a .xls workbook file then you will need to set up an ODBC connection and create it as an external database...
e.g.
1- Go to Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Data Sources (ODBC)>System DSN and create a data source with appropriate driver. Name it EXCL.
2- In %ORACLE_HOME%\Network\Admin\Tnsnames.ora fie add entry:
EXCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.12.0.24)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = EXCL)
(HS = OK)
Here SID is the name of data source that you have just created.
3- In %ORACLE_HOME%\Network\Admin\Listener.ora file add:
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = <hs_sid>)
(ORACLE_HOME = <oracle home>)
under SID_LIST_LISTENER like:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\ORA9DB)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORA9DB)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\ORA9DB)
(SID_NAME = ORA9DB)
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = EXCL)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\ora9db)
Dont forget to reload the listener
c:\> lsnrctl reload
4- In %ORACLE_HOME%\hs\admin create init<HS_SID>.ora. For our sid EXCL we create file initexcl.ora.
In this file set following two parameters:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = excl
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
5- Now connect to Oracle database and create database link with following command:
SQL> CREATE DATABASE LINK excl
2 USING 'excl'
3 /
Database link created.
Now you can perform query against this database like you would for any remote database.
SQL> SELECT table_name FROM all_tables@excl;
TABLE_NAME
DEPT
EMP

Need help on oracle sql query

Hi team,
Please help me on below query,
I have table like given below
Tran_Id tran_date   amount. Actorid
   1.         10-apr-15.   100.         1
   2.         11-apr-15.   100.         1
   3.         11-apr-15.   900.         1
   4.         12-apr-15.   100.         1
   5.         13-apr-15.   350.         1
   6.         14-apr-15.   400.         1
Now please find the query,
I want all the actor ids whos tran amount
>1500 and the date when the tran amount
Has breached
Ex:
Actor-id. Breached-date.    Total
1.              13-apr-15.            1900
How can I write a query for above requirement?
Regards,
Rajendra

Your solution (same as Saubhik's) is incorrect. Look at source data - multiple transactions can occur same day. Therefore, your qury will return wrong results if breached amount is 1000:
with trans as (
select 1 tran_Id, to_date('10-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy') tran_date, 100 amount, 1 actorid from dual union all
select 2, to_date('11-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 100, 1 from dual union all
select 3, to_date('11-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 900, 1 from dual union all
select 4, to_date('12-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 100, 1 from dual union all
select 5, to_date('13-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 350, 1 from dual union all
select 6, to_date('14-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 400, 1 from dual union all
select 7, to_date('12-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 300, 2 from dual union all
select 8, to_date('13-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 1200, 2 from dual union all
select 9, to_date('14-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 300, 2 from dual union all
select 10, to_date('15-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 300, 2 from dual
trans_running_tot as (
select tran_id, tran_date,
sum(amount) over (partition by actorid order by tran_date) tot_amt, actorid
from trans
trans_ranked as (
select actorid,tran_id, tran_date,
rank() over (partition by actorid order by tot_amt) rk
from trans_running_tot
where tot_amt > 1000
select * from trans_ranked where rk=1
   ACTORID    TRAN_ID TRAN_DATE         RK
         1          2 11-APR-15          1 -- here total amount was only 200
         1          3 11-APR-15          1
         2          8 13-APR-15          1
SQL>
As you can see, 2 rows were returned for actor 1. Why? Default for analytic ORDER BY is RANGE BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW. Therefore, all rows with same transation_date will fall into same window:
SQL> with trans as (
2   select 1 tran_Id, to_date('10-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy') tran_date, 100 amount, 1 actorid from dual union all
3   select 2, to_date('11-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 100, 1 from dual union all
4   select 3, to_date('11-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 900, 1 from dual union all
5   select 4, to_date('12-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 100, 1 from dual union all
6   select 5, to_date('13-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 350, 1 from dual union all
7   select 6, to_date('14-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 400, 1 from dual union all
8   select 7, to_date('12-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 300, 2 from dual union all
9   select 8, to_date('13-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 1200, 2 from dual union all
10   select 9, to_date('14-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 300, 2 from dual union all
11   select 10, to_date('15-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 300, 2 from dual
12   )
13 select tran_id, tran_date,
14    sum(amount) over (partition by actorid order by tran_date) tot_amt, actorid
15 from trans
16 /
   TRAN_ID TRAN_DATE    TOT_AMT    ACTORID
         1 10-APR-15        100          1
         2 11-APR-15       1100          1
         3 11-APR-15       1100          1
         4 12-APR-15       1200          1
         5 13-APR-15       1550          1
         6 14-APR-15       1950          1
         7 12-APR-15        300          2
         8 13-APR-15       1500          2
         9 14-APR-15       1800          2
        10 15-APR-15       2100          2
10 rows selected.
SQL>
So correct solution is to ORDER BY transation id. Also, just in case if amount can be 0, we should add tranaction id when ordering by sum:
with trans as (
select 1 tran_Id, to_date('10-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy') tran_date, 100 amount, 1 actorid from dual union all
select 2, to_date('11-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 100, 1 from dual union all
select 3, to_date('11-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 900, 1 from dual union all
select 4, to_date('12-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 100, 1 from dual union all
select 5, to_date('13-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 350, 1 from dual union all
select 6, to_date('14-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 400, 1 from dual union all
select 7, to_date('12-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 300, 2 from dual union all
select 8, to_date('13-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 1200, 2 from dual union all
select 9, to_date('14-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 300, 2 from dual union all
select 10, to_date('15-apr-15', 'dd-mon-yy'), 300, 2 from dual
trans_running_tot as (
select tran_id, tran_date,
sum(amount) over (partition by actorid order by tran_id) tot_amt, actorid
from trans
trans_ranked as (
select actorid,tran_id, tran_date,
rank() over (partition by actorid order by tot_amt,tran_id) rk
from trans_running_tot
where tot_amt > 1000
select * from trans_ranked where rk=1

Need help on a sql query

Hi Friends,
I am trying to load Employees and their Assignments using APIs.
I have various columns in my staging table like Last Name, First Name, etc., but I need help in writing query in the cursor especially for columns Emp Number and Supervisor Number.
I have data as below
Emp_Number     Supervisor_Number
GE0002               GE0064
GE0064               EG0009
EG0009               EG0001
100009                EG0001
EG0001               TU0001
Cursor I write will process the data in the same order as above, but here the problem is...
When it processes first row, it checks for supervisor GE0064 which do not exist and so it errors out.
Similarly for second row, it checks for supervisor EG0009 which again do not exist and so it errors out.
So in order to prevent this, the cursor should process the rows as below
Emp_Number     Supervisor_Number
EG0001               TU0001
EG0009               EG0001
GE0064               EG0009
GE0002               GE0064
100009                EG0001
By this way, Supervisor should be defined first as an employee and then it can be used as a supervisor for other employees
is there a way that I can get the output as above(second set of data), when the table has records randomly as above(first set of data)
Appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Srikanth

Why did the number go up?
It's something only you can find out
Maybe some Emp have several Supervisor(s) like
with
t as
(select 'GE0002' Emp,'GE0064' Supervisor from dual union all
select 'GE0064','EG0009' from dual union all
select 'EG0009','EG0001' from dual union all

select '100009','EG0001' from dual union all
select 'EG0001','TU0001' from dual
select Emp,Supervisor,lpad('_',3 * (level - 1),'_')||Emp indent
from (select Emp,Supervisor
          from t
        union all
        select supervisor,null

Hi,
you can use the following query.
CREATE TABLE PREM_TEST ( premnum NUMBER , STATUS VARCHAR2(1));
INSERT INTO PREM_TEST VALUES(1234 ,'C');

New To Oracle.. Needs Help:: Conversion from SQL Server to Oracle 11g

I am new to Oracle 11g and badly need the conversion of SQL Server Functions to Oracle.. Sample Pasted Code not working .. end with error.. pls help
Create Table TempT (ID1 Varchar (10),
ID2 Varchar (10)
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE GLOBALPKG
AS
TYPE RCT1 IS REF CURSOR;
TRANCOUNT INTEGER := 0;

RETURN REFCURSOR;
END;
LAST FUNCTION ENDs WITH ERROR
Error(13,7): PL/SQL: ORA-22905: cannot access rows from a non-nested table item

2. The major purpose is to get a simplest way to create a parameterized function who can return a table like output. 2nd function has no use instead i was testing the result of First Function like thisIf you just want to select from a select, you should use a view not a function.
1. which program is more help ful for writing and executing queries bcoz after using Query Analyzer of Microsoft It seems difficult to work on SQL Developer.
sqlplus? If you are having difficulty learning new tools because of an old one you used, probably best to forget the old one and concentrate on learning the new one because it will be different. This goes for the database itself also.
2. Can DMLs be used within a Function.Yes, you just can't execute the function in another SQL statement if it modifies data and this is a good thing.
3. Can temporary tables be used within a function.Unfortunately yes, but they shouldn't be unless you are in a slowest application competition.
5. Each Function which is a Table Function must be accompanied with Type Definitions?? its a bit longer way of doing the things than SQL ServerThat is why it is better to use views instead, is there any reason you want a select that you can select from inside a function?
SQL Server for last 9 years thats why i refer this toolThat is not in itself a problem, if you try and do what you did in SQLServer in Oracle, that will be a problem though.

New to PL/SQL and need help on check sum using ASCII function

Hello,
Need your expertise to help in figuring out how to write
code to calculate using ASCII function to return value for a character. For example ASCII('A') is 58. I want to do the check sum to sum-up the value for each character in the name. For example 'Jack'
Appreciate your help.
CK

Hi,
Please post all the technical queries in the respective forums. For more details and answers in SQL and PL/SQL, use the following forum:
PL/SQL
Sample PL/SQL code for your requirement:
-- make sure you have the serveroutput on using command.
-- set serveroutput on
DECLARE
sumval NUMBER(10);
tempval NUMBER(10);
colval VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
SELECT USER INTO colval FROM dual;
sumval := 0;
FOR i IN 1..LENGTH(colval)
LOOP
SELECT ASCII(SUBSTR(colval,i,1)) INTO tempval FROM dual;
sumval := sumval+tempval;
END LOOP;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('sum is: '||to_char(sumval));
END;
The output of this pl/sql block will be:
sum is: 397
Please note: ASCII('A') is 65 and not 58.
Hope that helps.
Savitha.

Oracle SQL Newbie need help with OE Demo Schema Installation

Hello everybody !
I'm hoping some kind soul can help out this SQL newbie.
First of all i've installed 10g R2 database on a PC running XP SP2.
Oracle is installed on the root C: drive
I'm using the SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide and DBA Handbook (Both Oracle Press)
as my reference.
My problem is this.
I installed the DB and created the demo HR schema without too much problem
but it's the demo OE schema i'm having problems getting running and cannot
find anywhere on the net that outlines a step by step SQL process.
I am using SQL Plus to execute these commands.
My questions are these:
-For the default tablespace i specify "users" ?
-What do i specify for the temporary tablespace ? "temp" ?
-what directory path do i put for the data files as parameter 6 ?
I put down "C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\demo\schema\order_entry" but i suspect it's
the wrong thing ?
-What do i specify for the writable directory path for the log files ?
Is it C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\RDBMS\log
-And what is "Specify version as parameter 8:" line ?
I assumed it was the db version but i believe it's wrong.
Could somebody please help me ? I've already done my CCNA and i wanted to add oracle under my belt.
I know if i had these few things cleared up for me it would pave the way to actually enjoying learning Oracle :)
Thank you for any assistance :)

I installed the DB products from the companion disk and there was no specific mention of the demo schemas. Regardless... They're all there within the demo subfolder and have already created the hr schema.. I just need somebody (I'll pay if necessary) to PLEASE just answer (what would be easy to you guys my questions so i can move on.
this is a cap from my sql plus..

Need help with MS SQL server JDBC driver

Anyone has experience getting ACS working with SQL2005? We keep getting ‘com.adobe.adept.persist.DatabaseException: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver’
