[Excel] Running a SQL Query to delete rows

Hello Experts,
Background: I am attempting to use a dba of my companies time keeping system and implement it with Power BI tools. Given the file size restrictions within Power Bi itself I need to lower my file size by removing all time logs from
inactive employees.
I have a question regarding whether or not you can use a sql query to delete rows in excel. I have roughly 200,000+ rows in my excel spreadsheet. I am attempting to delete all rows where an employee equals inactive. I have attempted to
delete these rows by sorting them and doing a bulk delete and clear contents, but it seems to crash my excel every time. My thought process is that using a query that does a timed delete might put less of a burden on deleting the massive amount of data.
I would like to use this: DELETE * FROM [Table_(...)_Actual$] WHERE [Current] = "Inactive" (Will add more once I know it is possible to use sql queries in Excel.
Any information on whether or not this is possible would be appreciated.
Regards,

Running SQL Query in Excel is possible, however, the delete query is not supported in Excel.
You are more restricted in deleting Excel data than data from a relational data source. In a relational database, "row" has no meaning or existence apart from "record"; in an Excel worksheet, this is not true. You can delete values
in fields (cells). Please see:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257819/en-us
One workaround : Use update query to set the rows as null, then use select query.
e.g.
SQL = "update [sheet2$A1:B5] set name=null,age=null where name='andy'"
cnn.Execute SQL
SQL = "select name,age from [sheet2$A1:B5] where name is not null"

How will write SQL query to fetch data from each Sub-partition..

Hi All,
Anyone does have any idea about How to write SQL query to fetch data from Sub-partition.
Actually i have one table having composite paritition(Range+list)
Now if i want to fetch data from main partition(Range) the query will be
SELECT * FROM emp PARTITION(q1_2005);
Now i want to fetch data at sub-partition level(List) .But i am not able to get any SQL query for that.
Pls help me to sort out.
Thanks in Advance.

SQL query to fetch WIP jobs agains a customer

Hi All,
Can anyone please help me with a SQL query to fetch WIP jobs agains a customer.
Regards,
Shruti

If you are using ATO functionality and if you are reserving sales orders to work orders, you can link them as follows
Using customer name, identify the open sales order headers and lines.
For each line, query reservations (mtl_reservations) using demand id fields.
For those reservations where supply = wip job, use the supply id fields and get wip_entity_id.
Using wip_entity_id, get wip_entity_name(job#) from wip_entities table.
Once a job is completed, this link is lost.

SQL query to fetch approximately 9000 rows

Hi,
I am using the following SQL query in a java class. Using JDBC to connect to an Oracle database using JRUN app server connection pooling.
SELECT PT.ACCOUNT_NUMBER,PAYMENT_REF_ID, TO_CHAR (PT.DATE_CREATED, 'MM/DD/YYYY'),
PT.AMOUNT_PAID, DECODE(STATUS_VALUE,'Cancelled','Canceled',STATUS_VALUE)
FROM EPAY_PAYMENT_TRANSACTIONS PT, EPAY_STATUS_LOOKUP SL
WHERE
PT.CLIENT_NAME = 'someclientname'
AND TO_CHAR(DATE_PAYMENT_SCHEDULED,'MM/DD/YYYY') = '08/28/2006'
AND PT.PAYMENT_STATUS = SL.STATUS_CODE
ORDER BY PT.DATE_CREATED DESC
EPAY_PAYMENT_TRANSACTIONS is a huge table consisting of thousands of rows. There are 4 indexes defined on this table but not on the columns used in the join condition of the query.
EPAY_STATUS_LOOKUP is a much smaller table mainly used for lookup consisting of some 100 rows.
The above query fetches approx 9000 records and takes a very long time to execute. Is there any way it can be optimized or we can change some attributes on the tables involved for speeding up the query?
Thanks in advance,
Nisha.

So the task is to avoid FTS on EPAY_PAYMENT_TRANSACTIONSWell, maybe...
But I believe that we have yet to hear more details about data distribution, execution plans and so on.
Because it all depends...

SQL Query to Fetch 500 Rows at once

Hi,
Due to performance issue of the SQL query takes lot of time to execute. I tried modifying the code as mentioned below but it is not working to fetch when search is implemented. Actually data is more than 1 Million Records so it takes lot of time to query the data.
SELECT DISTINCT
IMV.*,
nvl(imv.party_name,imv.bill_to_name) "Bill To Name",
Imv.Ship_To_City "Reseller City",
Imv.Ship_To_State "Reseller State",
Edb2_Global.Country_Name_Theater(Imv.Ship_To_Country ,'COUNTRY') "Reseller Country",
Edb2_Global.Country_Name_Theater(Imv.Ship_To_Country ,'THEATER') "Reseller Theater",
Cl.City "Customer City",
Cl.State "Customer State",
EDB2_GLOBAL.COUNTRY_NAME_THEATER(CL.COUNTRY,'COUNTRY') "Customer Country",
EDB2_GLOBAL.COUNTRY_NAME_THEATER(CL.COUNTRY,'THEATER') "Customer Theater"
FROM IB_SUPPORT_CONTRACTS_MV IMV,
customer_products cp,
customer_locations cl
WHERE
UPPER(TRIM(IMV.SERIAL_NUMBER)) = UPPER(TRIM(CP.PRODUCT_SERIAL_NUMBER(+) ) )
AND CP.LOCATION_ID = CL.LOCATION_ID(+)
AND ROWNUM <= 501
Please suggest me how to improve the performance of the query.
Thanks
Sudhir

Hi,
As mentioned already, this condition is really hurting performance:
UPPER(TRIM(IMV.SERIAL_NUMBER)) = UPPER(TRIM(CP.PRODUCT_SERIAL_NUMBER(+) ) )
Could you trim and capitalize the serial numbers before storing them? Do you really need to remember exactly how the serial numbers were entered? If you really do, then store it in one column, and store UPPER (TRIM (serial_number)) in a different column. Starting in Oracle 11, this could be a virtual column; in any version (7 or higher), it could be maintained by a trigger. Failing that, create a function-based index on UPPER (TRIM (serial_number)).

Sql query to fetch data based on date conditons

Hi All,
We have to schedule a script that runs at 1:00 AM from Monday to Friday.
The script will run a sql query ,that will fetch the data from sql database 2008 based on the below conditions.
Case 1: If date = current Date then retrieve the data of the previous Date.
Case 2: If date = Monday then retrieve the entries of Friday ,Saturday and Sunday.
Please help us on how we can achieve this.
Thanks

Hi,
Are you asking about Patrick's
solution?
If so I highly recommend NOT to use this solution. PLease read LMU92's
and
Visakh16's responses.
Why not to use it?
1. This solution is not deterministic!
A deterministic algorithm is an algorithm which, given a particular input, will always produce the same output. This solution give different values for different setting! It is depending for example on "SET LANGUAGE" value
As mentioned above if you try to use any other languge then English then this query will not work since you will never get the value "Sunday"
2. Moreover! Even if you are using "SET LANGUAGE 'English'" then this
solution depend on "SET DATEFIRST" and only take into consideration that the value can be 1 or 7, using any other value you will get that @weekendDateMod is null!
What can you use?
let's test some value first to get the solution yourself. We know that we don't care about "SET LANGUAGE" since I will not use any language dependency but we need to examine "SET DATEFIRST". Try to change the value from 1 to 7 and check
the value of this query
SET DATEFIRST 1 -- Change this value from 1 to 7!
DECLARE @Sunday DATE = '2014-08-03' -- This is Sunday
DECLARE @Munday DATE = '2014-08-04' -- This is Munday
SELECT DATEPART(DW,@Sunday),DATEPART(DW,@Munday), @@DATEFIRST
Can you see the behavior ?
The results are hidden here (select the text and you will see them)
DATEFIRST___Sunday_______Monday
1___________7___________1
2___________6___________7
3___________5___________6
4___________4___________5
5___________3___________4
6___________2___________3
7___________1___________2
assuming you did the exercise above yourself, then you can now think now what is the filter that you need...
You can use a filter on those two parameters together using "where DATEPART... and @@DATEFIRST...) or using one combine check. Can you think how?
Notice that this value is always 2 on Monday! Regarding our setting
(DATEPART(DW,@CurrentDate) + @@DATEFIRST) % 7
Please Don't Go Down Before YOu Understand!
Now we can go to the solution
* I really hope that you read all and did the small exercise yourself! You can not become a developer by copy answers, and this is the reason that from the start I only gave you tha way and not the final query!
DECLARE @CurrentDate DATE = '2007-08-20' -- This is only for testing since you should use the function GETDATE() instead
DECLARE @MinDateToFilter DATE
SET @MinDateToFilter = CASE
WHEN ((DATEPART(DW,@CurrentDate) + @@DATEFIRST) % 7) = 2 THEN DATEADD(DAY,-4,@CurrentDate)
ELSE DATEADD(DAY,-1,@CurrentDate)
END
SELECT *
FROM sales.salesOrderHeader
WHERE orderDate > @MinDateToFilter
I hope this was useful :-)

Need help in SQL Query: Update a row in a table & insert the same row into another table

I want to update a row in a table say Table A and the updated row should be inserted into another table say Table B. I need to do it in a single SQL query and i don't want to do it in PL/SQL with triggers. And i tried with MERGE statement but its working with this scenario. (Note: I'm using Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0).
Thanks in Advance.

Using Sven's code as an example, you could save the updated row in a sql plus variable. (also untested):
SQL> var v_id number
update tableA
set colB='ABC'
where colC='XYZ'
returning id into :v_id;
insert into table A_History (ID, colA, colB, ColC)
select id, ColA, ColB, ColC
from tableA
where id = :v_id;

Sql query union double rows

Hi,
i have a problem with my sql query.
I need the difference from query 2 - query 1.
the red marked row should be ignored because its already in table 1.
Union compares all colums not just the first 3.
Here's a screen of the problem:
http://c60.img-up.net/?up=screenoracskt6.JPG
thx for all

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you have a problem, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and the results you want from that data.
Explain how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of oracle you're using.

Union compares all colums not just the first 3.That's right; UNION compare all the columns selected. If you're only interested in 3 of the columns, then only select those 3.
If you need to display more columns, but not where all 3 of them match, then the best way is probably an outer join; but there are lots of other ways, including NOT EXISTS, NOT IN, and MINUS (in a sub-query).

SQL query to fetch the catalog category for a PLM item

Hi All,
Can anyone help me with a sql query of how we can fetch the catalog category for a PLM item.
Regards,
Shruti

Hi,
You could monitor the SMSProv.log when you check the category of an application. It shows that SQL query the SCCM provider used is related to function fn_ListCategoryInstances.

Sql query to add row id without loops

I am aware of the statement SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER ...
But we need more functionality. Can we make the row_number to repeat counting from 1 after a specific field changes in value. I know how to achieve what I want using a cursor within a stored procedure. Is there a way we
achieve the same just using sql statements and without stored procedure/loop
For example, we have built the following resultset using an sql query and the result is already sorted by the first field, CompanyName:
CompanyName, department, ManagerName
A-company, Account, Steven
A-company, HR, Mark
A-company, IT, Susan
B-Company,IT,Ross
B-Company,Customer Service, Jack
C-Company,Finance, Matthew
C-Company,Finance, Helen
C-Company,Finance, Ron
I want to have a rew result with one additional column which is incremented automatically but the value must re-start from 1 once the Companyname changes.
1, A-company, Account, Steven
2, A-company, HR, Mark
3, A-company, IT, Susan
1, B-Company,IT,Ross
2, B-Company,Customer Service, Jack
1, C-Company,Finance, Matthew
2, C-Company,Finance, Helen
3, C-Company,Finance, Ron
Please enlighten me.

You have to program the numbering yourself. There is no built-in automatic numbering like identity or sequence but only OVER PARTITION BY.

Displaying SQL Query results in rows instead of Columns

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Oracle so forgive me if this is a really stupid question.
I used Mysql for a while and if I wanted to display query results in rows instead of columns I could end the SQL command with '\G' instead of a semicolon.
This would give me output like...
Column_1: AAAA
Column_2: BBBB
Column_3: CCCC
Instead of the normal
Column_1 Column_2 Column_3
AAAAAA BBBBBBB CCCCCCC
Is there an equivalent in SQLPlus to the MySQL \G termination?
Thanks.
John

> so forgive me if this is a really stupid question.
It is certainly not a stupid question, but pivoting is a very frequently asked and answered question:

SQL query to fetch Online Payslip Details

Hi All,
First of all "Happy Diwali" to you all and sorry for asking too much. Actually I need to develope an SQL query which will fetch all the details that appears in online payslip(employee self service) including employee details, earning and deduction elements their value, TAX deducted, absence details etc. And the details should match exactally to our online payslip details.
I am sure many of you have come across this requirement and have developed this already. If you still have that query could you please pass it to me. I know expecting a readymade sql query would be too much and therefore just let me know all the tables I need use for this so that I can start writting query by my own. Actually any help in this regard will be much appreciated.
P.S. We are still using 11i :-(
Thank you all once again,

Sql query to fetch session id

Hi,
I am to trying to fetch session id of a previously submitted process of a search button......so that i can display the search results in a different page.....so is there any sql query or pl/sql procedure to fetch the session id.

>
Please update your forum profile with a real handle instead of "968337".
I am to trying to fetch session id of a previously submitted process of a search button......It's not all clear what you are trying to do. The documentation describes an APEX session and its ID thus:
>
A session is a logical construct that establishes persistence (or stateful behavior) across page views. Each session is assigned a unique identifier. The Application Express engine uses this identifier (or session ID) to store and retrieve an application's working set of data (or session state) before and after each page view.
>
This means that each page view and page submission does not have its own session ID, but uses the session ID established when the user's current session began (which is usually through logon and authentication).
Given this definition of session and session ID, are you therefore referring to the ID of some previous user session in which a page was submitted by a search button? Or some private meaning that you have yet to fully explain?
so that i can display the search results in a different page.....so is there any sql query or pl/sql procedure to fetch the session id.The session ID of the current session is available using the the built-in substitution string<tt>APP_SESSION</tt> built-in substitution string.
When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
Following the guidelines in these documents will also help to explain the problem in much more detail and with sufficient background for it to be understood:
<li>+How to ask questions+
<li>+{message:id=9360002}+
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.
