Stored Procedure to compare two tables data

Hello,
I want to have a Stored Procedure which will compare data (only a single column) of two tables and delete the row which is not present in the second table.
For eg.,
I have got 2 tables called Table1 and Table2, which have the same column called ID(PK).
The data in Table1 is 1,2,3 and data in Table2 is 1,3. When the stored procedure runs, it has to compare the ID column in Table1 to ID column in Table2 and since '2' is not there in Table2, I want to delete this row from Table1.
Thanks in advance.

delete from table1 where id_column in
(select id_column from table1
minus
select id_column from table2);

How to compare two tables data...need sql report or utility to find differe

Hi,
We have a requirement where we are asked to find data differences between two tables and one of the tables reside on remote database. The database version is same ( 10g ) and datatypes for the tables are similar.
The client is looking for a sql report or kind of utility to display the data differences for each column ( if possible count differences ) with some meaningful error messages.
Could anyone let me know the best possible way of doing it..?
Thanks

Procedure for creating transparent table, data element and domain

Hi,
Can anybody let me know the procedure for creating transparent table, data element and domain.
Thanks,
Mahathi

Hi
Database table and its components
A database table is the central data structure of the ABAP/4 data dictionary.
The structure of the objects of application development are mapped in tables on the underlying relational database.
The attributes of these objects correspond to fields of the table.
A table consists of columns (fields) and rows (entries). It has a name and different attributes, such as delivery class and maintenance authorization.
A field has a unique name and attributes; for example it can be a key field.
A table has one or more key fields, called the primary key.
The values of these key fields uniquely identify a table entry.
You must specify a reference table for fields containing a currency (data type CURR) or quantity (data type QUAN). It must contain a field (reference field) with the format for currency keys (data type CUKY) or the format for units (data type UNIT). The field is only assigned to the reference field at program runtime.
The basic objects for defining data in the ABAP Dictionary are tables, data elements and domains. The domain is used for the technical definition of a table field (for example field type and length) and the data element is used for the semantic definition (for example short description).
A domain describes the value range of a field. It is defined by its data type and length. The value range can be limited by specifying fixed values.
A data element describes the meaning of a domain in a certain business context. It contains primarily the field help (F1 documentation) and the field labels in the screen.
A field is not an independent object. It is table-dependent and can only be maintained within a table.
You can enter the data type and number of places directly for a field. No data element is required in this case. Instead the data type and number of places is defined by specifying a direct type.
The data type attributes of a data element can also be defined by specifying a built-in type, where the data type and number of places is entered directly.
Two Level Domain Example
A domain defines a field technically and therefore it may
be used at different business levels.
A data element describes the meaning of a domain in a certain business context.
A domain, however, is used for the technical definition of a table field (for example field type and length).
Therefore, although a take-off airport (data element S_FROMAIRP) would have a different business meaning from an airport where a plane lands (data element S_TOAIRP), they could still have the same domain(here S_AIRPID) because technically we could assign the same number of characters whether the airport is a take-off or a landing airport.
Definitions of Table in Database
In SAP R/3 tables are defined as
A) Transparent tables: All of the fields of a dictionary table correspond to a field in the real database table.
B) Pooled tables: Different tables which are not linked to each other with a common key are combined into a TABLE POOL. Several logical tables thus exist as a single real database table.
C) Cluster tables: Several tables linked by a common key may sometimes be combined by the data dictionary and made to exist on the database schema as a single table.
SAP is evolving R/3 tables in transparent tables.
Elaboration on each of the definitions
A transparent table is automatically created on the database when it is activated in the ABAP Dictionary. At this time the database-independent description of the table in the ABAP Dictionary is translated into the language of the database system used.
The database table has the same name as the table in the ABAP Dictionary. The fields also have the same name in both the database and the ABAP Dictionary. The data types in the ABAP Dictionary are converted to the corresponding data types of the database system.
The order of the fields in the ABAP Dictionary can differ from the order of the fields on the database. This permits you to insert new fields without having to convert the table. When a new field is added, the adjustment is made by changing the database catalog (ALTER TABLE). The new field is added to the database table, whatever the position of the new field in the ABAP Dictionary.
Tables can also reside on the database as Pooled tables or cluster tables
Pooled Tables: Different tables which are not linked to each other with a common key can be combined into a Table Pool. The tables contained within this pool are called Pooled Tables. A table pool is stored in the database a simple table. The table's data sets contain, in separate fields, the actual key for the data set to be stored, the name of the pooled table and the contents of the data set to be stored.
Using this schema, several logical tables are combined into a single real database table. Although the data structure of each set is lost during the write to the table pool, it is restored during the read by the ABAP/4 Data Dictionary. The ABAP/4 Data Dictionary utilizes its meta-data to accomplish this.
Since information must be prepared (defined) within the ABAP/4 Data Dictionary when it is read or written to (or accessed), this process itself defines these as not transparent tables
Cluster Tables: Occasionally, several tables may be linked by a common key. The ABAP/4 Data Dictionary can also combine these tables into a single table. Each data set of the real table within the database contains a key and in a single data field, several data sets of the subsequent table for this key.
As mentioned above, these table types require special data handling, therefore they are not transparent tables.
Technical Settings in Dictionary
The data class logically defines the physical area of the database (for ORACLE the table space) in which your table should be created. If you choose the data class correctly, the table will automatically be created in the appropriate area on the database when it is activated in the ABAP Dictionary.
The most important data classes are master data, transaction data, organizational data and system data.
Master data is data that is rarely modified. An example of master data is the data of an address file, for example the name, address and telephone number.
Transaction data is data that is frequently modified. An example is the material stock of a warehouse, which can change after each purchase order.
Organizational data is data that is defined during customizing when the system is installed and that is rarely modified thereafter. The country keys are an example.
System data is data that the R/3 System itself needs. The program sources are an example.
Further data classes, called customer data classes (USER, USER1), are provided for customers. These should be used for customer developments. Special storage areas must be allocated in the database.
The size category describes the expected storage requirements for the table on the database.
An initial extent is reserved when a table is created on the database. The size of the initial extent is identical for all size categories. If the table needs more space for data at a later time, extents are added. These additional extents have a fixed size that is determined by the size category specified in the ABAP Dictionary.
You can choose a size category from 0 to 4. A fixed extent size, which depends on the database system used, is assigned to each category.
Correctly assigning a size category therefore ensures that you do not create a large number of small extents. It also prevents storage space from being wasted when creating extents that are too large.
Modifications to the entries of a table can be recorded and stored using logging.
To activate logging, the corresponding field must be selected in the technical settings. Logging, however, only will take place if the R/3 System was started with a profile containing parameter 'rec/client'. Only selecting the flag in the ABAP Dictionary is not sufficient to trigger logging.
Parameter 'rec/client' can have the following settings:
rec/client = ALL All clients should be logged.
rec/client = 000[...] Only the specified clients should be logged.
rec/client = OFF Logging is not enabled on this system.
The data modifications are logged independently of the update. The logs can be displayed with the Transaction Table History (SCU3).
Logging creates a 'bottleneck' in the system:
Additional write access for each modification to tables being logged.
This can result in lock situations although the users are accessing different application tables!
Create transparent table
Go to transaction SE11. Enter name of table you want to create (beginning with Y or Z) and click on create pushbutton
Enter the delivery class and the table maintenance criteria
The delivery class controls the transport of table data when installing or upgrading, in a client copy and when transporting between customer systems .
The display/maintenance indicator specifies whether it is possible to display/maintain a table/view using the maintenance tools Data Browser (transaction SE16) and table view maintenance (transactions SM30 and SM31).
Enter the name of the table field and the data element. The
System automatically populates the technical details for
existing data elements.
So far as possible it is advisable to use existing data elements which befit the business requirements.
However, we may create data elements if need be. The same is shown in the next slide.
To create a data element simply double click on it.
Alternately create a data element by simply choosing the
data type radio button on SE11 initial screen.
Create data element
The system prompts you to create a new data element.
Choose the Yes pushbutton.
Under the data type tab enter the domain name which
determines the technical characteristics of the field.
Further characteristics tab: Allows you to specify a search help assigned to the data element.
It also allows you to specify a parameter id which helps you populate a field from SAP memory.
Field label: Can be assigned as prefixed text to a screen field referring to the ABAP Dictionary. The text is displayed on the screen in the logon language of the user (if the text was translated into this language).
Create domain
If the domain does not exist in the data dictionary the
system prompts you to create one.
Give the technical characteristics under the definition
tab. Value range allows you value restriction at domain
level.
Value range tab:
As explained in the section Consistency through input checks one can restrict the possible values for a field at domain level itself by either entering fixed values or by specifying a value table under the tab Value range.
Currency/Quantity fields in a table
A currency or a quantity field must be assigned a reference field from a reference table containing applicable qty unit or currency unit.
Field of the reference table, containing the applicable quantity unit or currency
A field containing currency amounts (data type CURR) must be assigned a reference field including the currency key (data type CUKY).
A field containing quantity specifications (data type QUAN) must be assigned a reference field including the associated quantity unit (data type UNIT).
Create transparent table continue
Maintain the technical settings of the table by clicking on the tab

Compare two table columns

hi all,
i am using db10g.
my task is to compare two table's data for example
table1 is having
col1 col2 col3
a b c
e f g
table2 is
col4 col5 col6
a e c
e f g
so i have to compare col1 first record and col4 first record.
in otherwords first table first column first item with second table first table first value and so on.
for ex: a= a
b= e
c= c etc
how can i acheive this?
both are database tables.
i cannot use minus function because data types are different for the corresponding column
how can i compare it?
Thanks..
Edited by: user13329002 on Jan 13, 2011 1:09 AM

Hi,
Try this
select
    case
        when a.col1 = b.col1 then 'EQUAL' else 'NOT EQUAL' end column1,
    case
        when a.col2 = b.col2 then 'EQUAL' else 'NOT EQUAL' end column2,
    case
        when a.col3 = b.col3 then 'EQUAL' else 'NOT EQUAL' end column3
from (select col1,col2,col3,rownum rn from table1) a,
                            (select col1,col2,col3,rownum rn from table2) b where a.rn = b.rn Try to see how you order the rows of the two tables.

Comparing Two tables with 300k records and update one table

Could you let me know how to compare two tables having 300k records and update one table.below is the scenario.
Table Tabl_1 has columns A,B and Tabl_2 has columns B,new_column.
Column B has same data in both the tables.
I need to update Tabl_2 in new_column with Tabl_1 A column data by comparing B column in both tables.
I m trying to do using PLSQL Tables.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.

Hi,
Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved, so that the people who want to help you can re-create the problem and test their ideas.
Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.
If you're asking about a DML statement, such as UPDATE, the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements should re-create the tables as they are before the DML, and the results will be the contents of the changed table(s) when everything is finished.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (for example, 11.2.0.2.0).

Why are you trying to use PL/SQL tables? If tabl_1 and tabl_2 are regular database tables, it will be much simpler and faster just to use them.
Depending on your requirements, you can do an UPDATE or MERGE, either in SQL or in PL/SQL.

How to compare two tables in SSIS?

I am creating an SSIS package that will compare two tables and then insert data in another table.
Which tool shall I use for that? I tried to use "Conditional Split" but it looks like it only takes one table as input and not two.
These are my tables:
TABLE1
ID
Status
TABLE2
ID
Status
TABLE3
ID
STatus
I want to compare STATUS field in both tables. If Status in TABLE1 is "Pending" and in TABLE2 is "Open" then insert this record in TABLE3.

You can use MERGE command , Sorry cannot test it right now.
MERGE INTO tbl3
USING (SELECT tbl2.ID, tbl2.status,tbl1.status as st1 FROM tbl1 JOIN tbl2 ON tbl1.ID=tbl2.ID) AS t ON T.ID=tbl3.ID
AND t.status='OPEN' AND t.st1='pending'
WHEN NOT MATCHED
INSERT (status) VALUES (t.status)

BUG? BRIDGE statement to compare two tables

Hello,
I tried to compare two tables in different dbs and remembered a post about Cross Connectin Queries
http://barrymcgillin.blogspot.com/2010/11/cross-connection-queries.html
BRIDGE temparb AS "EB05 01"
(SELECT * FROM arb)
(SELECT * FROM temparb
MINUS
SELECT * FROM arb
UNION ALL
(SELECT * FROM arb
MINUS
SELECT * FROM temparb
);I would expect to get the differences between the table arb in my current schema and the table arb alias temparb in the other db. Yet it seems, that in this case only the table in my current schema is read.
I materialize the BRIDGE table with
BRIDGE temparb AS "EB05 01"
(SELECT * FROM arb)and select the value I know to be only in the remote schema
SELECT id FROM temparb WHERE id = 2562;
SELECT id FROM arb WHERE id = 2562;Both times I get no result. I even tried to use aliases on the table, same result. Tested in 3.0 and 3.1 EA3.
Has anyone tried this before?
Regards
Marcus

Hi Marcus,
Have you tried it without the double quotes around the connection name?
I have a connection called
system_local
which I run the following command in
drop table testbridge_remote;
drop table testdbrige;
create table testbridge(col1 int);
insert into testbridge values (1);
insert into testbridge values (2);
insert into testbridge values (3);
commit;
I have a connection called
Connection Name With Space
which I run the following in
drop table testdbrige;
create table testbridge(col1 int);
insert into testbridge values (4);
insert into testbridge values (5);
insert into testbridge values (3);
commit;
Then in the system_local connection/worksheet I can run the following statement
BRIDGE testbridge_remote as Connection Name With Space(select * from testbridge)
+(SELECT * FROM testbridge_remote+
MINUS
SELECT * FROM testbridge
+)+
UNION ALL
+(SELECT * FROM testbridge+
MINUS
SELECT * FROM testbridge_remote
+);+
It works ok.
Returning rows in the remote table not in the local table , and rows in the local table not in the remote table .

Table Type Stored Procedure in OBIEE Physical table properties

Hi,
Any one has ever used the Stored Procedure in OBIEE Physical table properties??
I've a procedure & a table i want to plopulate the tabel using the Procedure from OBIEE physical layer.

It would be nice if we know more details about 'Populating table'...
Using connection pool->connection pool scripts tab you may go for inserting/updating (Populating table) records into table.
It would be nice if you use dedicated connection pool for init blocks...
Ex: I want to insert user login time some xyz table my query would be like
insert into xyz values ('valueof(NQ_SESSION.USER)',sysdate)
without knowing your requirements its hard to tell anything apart from what is said.
If helps pls mark

hi sravan, u can go to t/c OY19 to compare the two tables.
Choose Manual selection
Enter the name of the table that you want to compare
Choose Execute
in the next screen you have to give the description and RFC connection name which will make the link between two clients.

Comparing two Calendar dates

No question. Just a comment with code example.
Yesterday I was having issues comparing two Calendar dates. They looked equal in my println statement, but they failed the test. The solution evaded my cafeine intensified brain for hours. Then it hit me. Print out the time in milliseconds and see if the numbers were the same. Nope. Why?
The problem was that in the real world, you get dates from all over the place, not just cooked up for a text book example. (Don't you just hate those text book examples in their unrealistic world?) Anyway, I was getting a date from an HTML form and a data from a database and comparing the two once I had converted them both to a Calendar object. This seemed a reasonable choice.
Well, the java.sql.Date that the Oracle driver returned which was converted to a java.util.Date was fine. I ran this into a Calendar with the call calS.setTime(dbDate). The form date was split into fields and put into a difference Calendar obj with the call calF.set(fYear, fMonth, fDay, 0, 0, 0). This too seemed reasonable. Then a call to calS.equls(calF) resulted in a false even though the actual dates were in fact the same.
The problem was with the time. The java.sql.Date (calS) had a time of 00:00:00 which was fine. The calendar from the form also had 00:00:00 for a time since I initialized it with zeros. Hummmmm. Now what? As mentioned before, I decided to print out the actuall time in milliseconds and that gave me my answer. The two calendars were off by only milliseconds, but that's why. You see, the equals method of Calendar compares two dates/time in milliseconds. You can see this in the source for yourself. It's not difficult to read at all. Download and open the api source file, src.zip, and locate Calendar.java in the java.util directory.
The fix was to add calF.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0) and calS.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0) to zero out the milliseconds in each Calendar object. That did the trick. Here's example code of the problem (test1) and the solution (test2). I tried to simulate as close to real world as possible. If you have a better solution or I've made some error, please let me know. I'm always looking for better ways.
Main.java
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class Main {
    private int fYear = 2003;
    private int fMonth = 3; // march
    private int fDay = 14;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Main main = new Main();
        main.test1();
        main.test2();
    public void test1() {
        SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat();
        // get the date from the form
        Calendar calF = Calendar.getInstance();
        calF.set(fYear, fMonth-1, fDay, 0, 0, 0); // month starts at 0 - so march would be 2
        System.out.println("From form date:     [" + df.format(calF.getTime()) + "] [" + calF.getTimeInMillis() + "]");
        // simulate other activity in the app
        try {
            Thread.sleep(5000);
        catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        // get the Date from the shared object which comes from a database (java.sql.Date)
        // the return is java.util.Date
        // convert to a Calendar
        SharedObject so = new SharedObject();
        Date myDate = so.getTheDate();
        Calendar calS = Calendar.getInstance();
        calS.setTime(myDate);
        System.out.println("Shared Object date: [" + df.format(calS.getTime()) + "] [" + calS.getTimeInMillis() + "]");
        // compare the two calendars for equality
        if (calS.equals(calF)) {
            System.out.println("The same");
        else {
            System.out.println("NOT the same");

public class SharedObject {
    public java.util.Date getTheDate() {
        java.util.Date d = null;
        try {
            java.sql.Date s = java.sql.Date.valueOf("2003-3-14"); // this march is converted internally
            d = (java.util.Date)s;
        catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        return d;
} The output
From form date:     [3/14/03 12:00 AM] [1047621600296]
Shared Object date: [3/14/03 12:00 AM] [1047621600000]
NOT the same
From form date:     [3/14/03 12:00 AM] [1047621600000]
Shared Object date: [3/14/03 12:00 AM] [1047621600000]
The same

So your post boils down to the fact that Calendar's set(year, month, day, hour, minute, second) method doesn't change the milliseconds fraction?
Given that there is this method, I guess it would be nice if there was a method that simultaneously set all fields, but the API does state:
Previous values of other fields are retained. If this is not desired, call clear() first.

Pivot table that uses a Stored Procedure parameter and filters the data based on it

Hello, my 1st post. I am lost. Please help.
I am trying to create an Excel Pivot Table that has data that comes from an ODC but needs to be filtered based on a parameter from a Stored Procedure. This involves Project Server. I need to filter the results based on the RBS value of the logged
in user. My Stored Procedure can return the RBS as long as the ResourceNTAccount value is given. I cant figure out how to tie this all together.

Hi,
Based on your description,I think this issue should be more related to Programming/coding, you can sumbit a new case to MSDN forum.
As I'm not quite formular with Project Server, all I can tell you is that it is easy to running a Stored Procedure within Excel, however, if you have to pass dynamic parameters you’ll have to turn to VBA.For detailed information,please refer

Stored procedure that returns multiple tables

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if there's a way to write a stored procedure that returns multiple result set as in sql server. for example, in sql server, you can write 2 select statements and when loading them in c#, u can get two data tables.
I am not sure having a single ref cursor for each select is the only solution. I might need to return a variable number of tables per procedure call (based on a certain criteria).
Any ideas?
thanks for your time

Sure. Ref cursor is the only easier answer for your problem.
