SQL's WHERE clause priority order?

Hi Experts,
Example: My requirement is -- Select a record/sales order from VBAK where AUART = my_doc_type_1
if I do not found any record, then I have to look up as Select a record/sales order from VBAK where AUART = my_doc_type_2
So, am writing the SQL as below.
SELECT vbeln INTO my_vbeln FROM vbak
WHERE auart IN ( my_doc_type_1, my_doc_type_2 ).
Pls. let me know,
1) My assumption is that, system FIRST look for my_doc_type_1 record, if it does not found any such, then system will look for my_doc_type_2 record, am I correct?
2)if so, the PRIORITY is in the order in which we hv given in paranthesis?
3) Say, there are 2 records with same VBELN (I knew, its impossible having 2 recoords with same key!! just for example) and hving the AUART values as my_doc_type_1 and my_doc_type_2 like below
12345678 -
my_doc_type_1
12345678 -
my_doc_type_2
So, in this case system will select BOTH records?
Actually, i dont have SAP, so i can not do a quik test.
Thank you

Hi,
It's so funny that you said:
Actually, i dont have SAP, so i can not do a quik test.
So, with your current query:
SELECT vbeln INTO my_vbeln FROM vbak
WHERE auart IN ( my_doc_type_1, my_doc_type_2 ). "if i'm not wrong, you will get syntax error in this select query
It's always returns only one record. If you wanted to get all you must declare an internal table to hold your results:
SELECT vbeln INTO TABLE my_itab FROM vbak
WHERE auart IN ( my_doc_type_1, my_doc_type_2 ).
REgards,

Is it possible to use LONG columns in WHERE clause or ORDER BY?

Is it possible to use LONG columns in WHERE clause or ORDER BY?

Hi,
LONG data type is deprecated, maybe could you change your column type to LOB ?
Nonetheless below is a workaround which may fit your needs if forced to use LONG.
It uses a function which returns you a CLOB. It allows you to use the converted "LONG" column in a WHERE clause.
Then if you want to order by you have to convert the CLOB to a VARCHAR using DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR.
SQL> CREATE TABLE my_table (id NUMBER, description LONG);
Table created.
SQL> INSERT INTO my_table VALUES (1, 'FIRST LONG');
1 row created.
SQL> INSERT INTO my_table VALUES (2, 'ANOTHER LONG');
1 row created.
SQL> COMMIT;

Change my sql query where-clause in an extended controller

Hello,
i am trying to change my sql query where-clause in an extended controller
personAplListVO.setWhereClause(null); // first set to null
personAplListVO.setWhereClauseParams(null); // first set to null
personAplListVO.setWhereClause(personAplListVOWhereClause +
newWhereClause);
personAplListVO.setWhereClauseParams(whereClauseParams);
personAplListVO.executeQuery();
System.out.println(">>>>>>>>getQuery = " + personAplListVO.getQuery());
when i get the query ( personAplListVO.getQuery()) after executeQuery(), the new newWhereClause values are missing.
Also i am getting null from personAplListVO.getWhereClause() after executeQuery()
as if the above code is not making any effect.
any ideas why?
Thank you

Select Statement -- Where Clause Execution Order

What is the order of execution of the "AND" and "OR" in the WHERE clause of a Select statement?
Are the "AND"'s executed from the top down, left to right? Is it the same for the "OR"'s execution?
Thanks for any help...

Not clear why you care. There is an order in which the optimizer parses the SQL (which may change from ver to ver), but this is a fairly quick operation. The order in which tables are visited and predicates evaluated is dependent on what the op[timizer does with the SQL.

Where clause priority in Select Query

Hi All,
I have one doubt, Pls clarify
SELECT empno, ename, sal, comm
FROM emp E, dept D -- (deptno is pk for DEPT)
WHERE D.deptno = E.deptno
AND E.sal >= 3000
In WHERE clause which one will execute first (right to left or left to right
OR[b] First join conditions then after filter conditions or vice versa)
D.deptno = E.deptno
OR
E.sal >= 3000
(this is the example tables)
Because I have large volume of data with 5 tables with joins
so, pls. kindly give me the sugession for where clause.
Thanks
Naresh

It depends, the order the where clause is written in makes no difference to how the statement is processed.
In the section on Developing Efficient SQL Statements in the Performance Tuning Guide changing the order of statements in the where clause is notably missing.
There is more information in the Understanding Joins section of the same manual.

Where clause and order by to DAO classes

Hi
Is it ok(I mean design wise) to pass the 'where clause' conditions and order by clause as a parameter to the method of DAO class?

Well, I would suggest you write seperate methods in your dao , one to select data without the where clause and one to select data with the where clause thrown in. If you have different 'where' clauses for selecting different kinds of data, have that many dao methods. The dao methods being specific know exactly what is the data that's coming in.
Lets assume you have a list of purchase orders and each purchase order is indetified by a unique id called PURCHASE_ORDER_ID.
1. The following code would populate a purchase order's details given an id.
private statis final String QUERY_1 = "select * from PURCHASE_ORDERS where PURCHASE_ORDER_ID = ? ";
PurchaseOrderModel getPurchaseOrderData(long poId){
     //get a prepared statement from your connection
     PreparedStatement pst = conn.prepareStatement(QUERY_1);
     //set the poId passed as params to your query
     pst.setLong(1, poId);
     ResultSet rs = pst.executeQuery();
     if(rs.next()){
          //populate data into a model
     finally{
          //clean up resources
     return model;
}2. The following code would return a list of PurchaseOrderModel's whose shipping date falls between a set of dates selected by the user.
private statis final String QUERY_2 = "select * from PURCHASE_ORDERS where SHIPPING_DATE between ? and ? ";
PurchaseOrderModel getPurchaseOrdersBetweenDates(list bindValues){
     //get a prepared statement from your connection
     PreparedStatement pst = conn.prepareStatement(QUERY_1);
     //set the dates passed as params to your query
     //we know that the List ought to contain only 2 dates
     pst.setDate(1, (Date)bindValues.get(0));
     pst.setDate(2, (Date)bindValues.get(1));
     ResultSet rs = pst.executeQuery();
     if(rs.next()){
          //iterate and populate data into a model
          //add model to a list
     finally{
          //clean up resources
     return list;
     3. This is more interesting - the dao method searches a list of Purchase Orders starting with a set of specific words. The words themselves may be one or many. This means that the number of '?' in your prepared statement may be dynamic. Each element of the list is a String that contains the start substring of a purcahse order name. For example - the list may contain elements like ["a", "ab", "c", "gh"] and the dao method returns all purchase order starting with these names.
private statis final String QUERY_3 = "select * from PURCHASE_ORDERS where ";
PurchaseOrderModel getPurchaseOrderNameMatches(list bindValues){
     //construct the query dynamically
     StringBuffer query = new StringBuffer(QUERY_3);
     int count = 0;
     for(Iterator itr = bindValues.iterator(); itr.hasNext();;){
          String value = (String)itr.next();
          query.append ("name like 'value%' ");
          if (count != 0 and (count+1 != bindValues.length)){
               query.append(" or ");
          count ++;
     //get a prepared statement from your connection
     PreparedStatement pst = conn.prepareStatement(query.toString());
     ResultSet rs = pst.executeQuery();
     if(rs.next()){
          //iterate and populate data into a model
          //add model to a list
     finally{
          //clean up resources
     return list;
To sum up,
1. You need as many methods as you have different kinds of searches (one method for each kind of 'where' clause).
2. The ejb/business layer would examine the data and decide on which method to call.
3. Increases coding effort, but makes the code clean and readable. Each layer does it's job. Thus we dont have ejbs forming 'where' clauses and so on.
Having said that, it really is your decision - you should take into consideration the following factors -
1. How big is the project ? If its a huge codebase developed by many people, then segregate the responsibilities clearly in each layer as I have outlined. For a small scale project, you could go with your approach.
2. Whats the take on maintenance and future add-ons ? Do you see the codebase growing with time ?
3. Is your project a commercial one - is it a product that needs to be maintained or is it a one-off development - develop once and you are done with it.
4. What are the design considerations ? Is somebody going to audit code for quality ? Or is it a academic one ?
You should take into account all these before deciding to go one way or the other.
A general thumb rule should be that you should be convinced that your code readable (maintainable), scalable and efficient. Anything that you do towards these ends is good code/design despite what people/books/patterns say, IMO.

JBO datasources: avoiding literal SQL in where clause

I understand that it is possible to set the where clause when defining a datasource with datatags:
e.g.
<jbo:DataSource id="ds" appid="wms_bc4j.Wms_bc4jModule" viewobject="WebUsersView" whereclause="USER_ID = 1"/>
However this results in literal SQL being sent to the database. Does anyone know of a method of using bind variables in this instance and thus avoid the literal SQL?

Hi,
You need to "CAST" the bind variable to get the comma separated individual values.
Check this out article (Search for Using Comma-Separated String Bind for Variable IN List) on how to achieve this.
It has been developed on 10g. But, i think it will hold good for 11g as well.

Teradata Source SQL Server where clause In SSIS

Hi All,,
I want pull the data from Teradata to SQLServer .But Teradata source query in where clause around 200 productcodes manually. Instead of that one I want pass sqlserver table dynamically . creating one temp table in ssis for sqlserver data and
Teradata source query joining the temp table (with out where clause) Is it possible to implement this task in SSIS or
Best method to implement this task in ssis
Thanks
CMK...

Hi CMK,
You can create a staging table to store the productcodes used in the WHERE clause in the Teradata source query. Then, you can use Lookup Transformation in SSIS to achieve your goal.
If you use Enterprise or Developer Edition of SSIS 2008 or higher, you can install the Microsoft Connector Version for Teradata by Attunity to obtain the OLE DB provider for Teradata. You can use an OLE DB Source adapter to extract data from the Teradata
database without WHERE clause, then add a Lookup Transformation which lookups records from the staging table, and output the lookup match records to the destination SQL Server table.

Derive found flag in SQL with where clause using TABLE(CAST function

Dear All,
Stored procedure listEmployees
==========================
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE STRING_ARRAY AS VARRAY(8000) OF VARCHAR2(15);
empIdList STRING_ARRAY
countriesList STRING_ARRAY
SELECT EMP_ID, EMP_COUNTRY, EMP_NAME, FOUND_FLAG_
FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE
EMP_ID IN
(SELECT * FROM TABLE(CAST(empIdList AS STRING_ARRAY))
AND EMP_COUNTRY IN
(SELECT * FROM TABLE(CAST(countriesList AS STRING_ARRAY))
=================
I have a stored procedure which lists the employees using above simple query.
Here I am using table CAST function to find the list of employees in one go
instead of looping through each and every employee
Everything fine until requirements forced me to get the FOUND_FLAG as well.
Now I wanted derive the FOUND_FLAG by using rownum, rowid, decode functions
but I was not successful
Can you please suggest if there is any intelligent way to say weather the
row is found for given parameters in the where clause?
If not I may have to loop through each set of empIdList, countriesList
and find the values individually just to set a flag. In this approach I can’t use
the TABLE CAST function which is efficient I suppose.
Note that query STRING_ARRAY is an VARRAY. It is very big in size and this procedure
suppose to handle large sets of data.
Thanks In advance

If your query returns results, you have found them... so your "FOUND" flag might be a constant,...

thanks

I'm having the same problem.
One potential solutions is to use a custom SQL server JDBC driver instead of going through the ODBC bridge. This will minimize dependencies and should also improved performance. Hope this helps.

Plain SQL Conditional WHERE Clause with two sub-selects

Hi SQL Experts,
I need a bit quick of help with a query.
This is a "select" statement for an OBI repository phyiscal table source object.
So I cant put PL/SQL or Stored Procedures in it. I just need
to have two different conditions/selects depending on the user role (this information comes
from the session).
The above, does not work:
--------------ORA00905. 00000 - "missing keyword"
SELECT OFFICENO FROM orgunit
WHERE
CASE WHEN 'SESSION_VARIABLE' LIKE '%globalmanager%' THEN
        ASSIGNEDOFFICES =
        SELECT DISTINCT ASSIGNEDOFFICES
        FROM USERSTABLE INNER JOIN orgunit ON
        orgunit.OFFICEKEY = USERSTABLE.OFFICEKEY
        WHERE USERSTABLE.USERNAME ='VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USER)'
ELSE
        OFFICENO =
        SELECT DISTINCT OFFICENO FROM USERSTABLE
        INNER JOIN orgunit ON
        orgunit.OFFICEKEY = USERSTABLE.OFFICEKEY
        WHERE USERSTABLE.USERNAME ='VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USER)'
END;
Can anyone help?

Hi,
I can't tell what you want to do just by looking at code that doesn't do it. Maybe:
SELECT officeno
FROM    orgunit
WHERE   (    session_variable LIKE '%globalmanager%'
        AND assignedofficies IN
                 SELECT assignedoffices
                 FROM    usertable u1
                 JOIN    orgunit    o1 ON o1.officekey = u1.officekey
                 WHERE   u1.username    = 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USER)'
OR      (    NVL ( session_variable
                 )        NOT LIKE '%globalmanager%'
        AND officeno        IN
                 SELECT officeno
                 FROM    usertable u2
                 JOIN    orgunit    o2 ON o2.officekey = u2.officekey
                 WHERE   u2.username   = 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USER)'
There might be some simpler and more efficient way, depending on your tables and your reuirements.
The condition u2.username   = 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USER)' is almost certainly not what you really want.
Whenever you have a question, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

Does the Order of the tablesjoins in Where clause matter in ORDERED hint?

The ORDERED hint requests that the tables listed in the FROM clause of a SQL statement be joined in the order specified. But does the order of the join in "where" clause matters?
Will be there any performance difference between below query? The order of the table in the FROM clause remains the same, but there is a difference in the order of conditions in the WHERE clause
SELECT /*+ ORDERED */ a.fp_i f
FROn iw_owner.revenue_fpct b,
dw_owner.fp_dinn c,
dw_owner.nanaged_at_dinn a,
dw_owner.at_dinn_curr d,
iw_owner.na_progran e,
dw_owner.fp_dinn_curr f,
dw_owner.fpn_of_at_dinn g
WHERE a.nacc_dinn_i = b.nacc_dinn_i
AND b.fp_dinn_i = c.fp_dinn_i
AND a.acc_i = d.acc_i
AND a.acc_nacc_c = e.npn_pro_c
AND a.fp_i = f.fp_i
AND b.org_fpn_dinn_i = g.org_fpn_dinn_i(+)
AND c.fp_i IN ('JG 04')
AND b.dte_dinn_i BETWEEN '1-Apr-2011' and '30-Apr-2011'
SELECT /*+ ORDERED */ a.fp_i f
FROn iw_owner.revenue_fpct b,
dw_owner.fp_dinn c,
dw_owner.nanaged_at_dinn a,
dw_owner.at_dinn_curr d,
iw_owner.na_progran e,
dw_owner.fp_dinn_curr f,
dw_owner.fpn_of_at_dinn g
WHERE c.fp_i IN ('JG 04')
AND b.dte_dinn_i BETWEEN '1-Apr-2011' and '30-Apr-2011'
AND b.fp_dinn_i = c.fp_dinn_i
AND a.nacc_dinn_i = b.nacc_dinn_i
AND a.acc_i = d.acc_i
AND a.acc_nacc_c = e.npn_pro_c
AND a.fp_i = f.fp_i
AND b.org_fpn_dinn_i = g.org_fpn_dinn_i(+)

Does it matter the order of first 2 tables?This question makes me really wonder. It's fairly easy to see how explain changes when using hints.
Your question indicates that you do not look at explain plans?
Then why are you asking about hints in the first place?
Using hints is something you do when you want to force a specific execution plan as part of some investigation, because you know something that the optimizer does no, or you have found a bug in the optimizert.
In all cases you know exactly what you are doing.
The /*+ ORDERED */ is all about you telling the optimizer to join the tables in the order you specified them in the from clause.
As to your original question, there exists a similar ORDERED_PREDICATES hint.

Problem in case of or condition in where clause in case of leftouter joi.

hi
i am encountering a wierd problem.
in a select query if i have a left outer join and a or condition in where clause the order of condition in or matters and if i use a to_char problem is solved.
see query below
select * from custsupp left outer join Salesperson s on custsupp.sales_rep = s.id ,state a where (CS_FLAG='C' or CS_flag ='B') and custsupp.state = a.id
i have a single record in table custsupp with CS_FLAG ='B' the above does not return result. but if i move CS_FLAG='B' on left of or i.e
select * from custsupp left outer join Salesperson s on custsupp.sales_rep = s.id ,state a where (CS_FLAG='B' or CS_flag ='C') and custsupp.state = a.id
i get the rsult.
also if i remove left outer join and keep order of condition as it is i get result i.e
select * from custsupp ,state a where (CS_FLAG='C' or CS_flag ='B') and custsupp.state = a.id
also if i add a to_char to co,umns CS_FLAG i get the result.
select * from custsupp left outer join Salesperson s on custsupp.sales_rep = s.id ,state a where (to_char(CS_FLAG)='C' or to_char(CS_flag ='B')) and custsupp.state = a.id
why it is so?
CS_flag is of type nchar

First if you don't want to take credit of the free sample then follow the below procedure:
1. Do the GRN for all the three item and for the free item in the excise tab at the item level select the material as non cenvatable. Just remember to add base value of the item
2. If you want to capture the Part1 entry then just do the normal transaction and while posting the excise with J1IEX just remove the excise duties for the free item.
3. For paying the vendor the excise amount, just do subsequent debit in the MIRO and in the details tab add in the unplanned delivery cost the amount that you want to pay for the excise duties
Second case if you want to take credit of the duties:
1. Do the Normal GRN process, add the base value and excise values for the free item.
2. Post the Excise duites with J1iEX.
3. The with the account entry you can settle the excise payment
Hope this will help you
Enjoyyyyyyyyyyy

Using collections in WHERE clause

Hi friends,
Please help me to use an associate array in SQL query (WHERE clause). The requirement is similar to the following example:
===============================================
declare
type rec_emp is record(emp_id integer, emp_name varchar2(100));
type ty_emp is table of rec_emp index by pls_integer;
tb_emp ty_emp;
type ty_emp_history is table of emp_history%rowtype index by pls_integer;
tb_emp_history ty_emp_history;
begin
select emp_id, emp_name
bulk collect into tb_emp
from emp
where dept_id = 10;
--Now I want to fetch records from emp_history based on the values in tb_emp. So I want a query something like the following.
--(I know that join can be used to achive this. But it is just an example. I need to achive this in collections.)
select *
bulk collect into tb_emp_history
from emp_history
where emp_id = tb_emp.emp_id
and emp_name = tb_emp.emp_name;
end;
===============================================
Thanks in advance.

If you want help with your code you have to post the code you are really using, not some hacked-up version of it that has errors.
Here is sample code that shows how to treat a collection as a table using the TABLE operator
-- type to match emp record
create or replace type emp_scalar_type as object
(EMPNO NUMBER(4) ,
   ENAME VARCHAR2(10),
   JOB VARCHAR2(9),
   MGR NUMBER(4),
   HIREDATE DATE,
   SAL NUMBER(7, 2),
   COMM NUMBER(7, 2),
   DEPTNO NUMBER(2)
-- table of emp records
create or replace type emp_table_type as table of emp_scalar_type
declare
tb emp_table_type;
deptnoList sys.OdciNumberList;
BEGIN
select emp_scalar_type(empno, ename, job, mgr, hiredate, sal, comm, deptno)
bulk collect into tb from emp;
SELECT deptno bulk collect
INTO deptnoList
FROM dept where deptno not in (select deptno from table(tb));
for i in 1..deptnoList.count loop
dbms_output.put_Line(deptnoList(i));
end loop;
END;Note that tb is a collection and is useds in the subquery 'select deptno from table(tb)'.

Filter Records in WHERE clause iReports using values passed from a prgram

I have searched for iReports manual and what i can see are docs on sale. I have managed to create jrxml file, execute it in jsp and actually view the report.
Now i have a big list of customers from various branches and have various categories. I would like to know how to pass the parameters so that i retrieve a small list of items. e.g. WHERE cu.branch=200 AND cu.category=10. That is i would like to pass 20 and 10 to the jrxml query stored.
In iReports i saw parameters, variables and fields but it seems like these are displayable fields.
How will i achieve this. Am seeking for assistance.
