Strange result for outer join with rownum
I'm using rownum in join condition of left outer join query but i'm getting strange results.
Query is:
Select * from table1 left outer join table2 on table1.id = table2.id or rownum=1
Data in table1 is
id
7
8
9
Data in table2 is
id
10
11
12
Result of above query in Oracle 9.2.0.1 is
table1.id table2.id
7 10
7 11
7 12
8 10
8 11
8 12
9 10
9 11
9 12
Even if change is rownum related condition to like rownum >2 even than i'm getting same result.
In case of inner join, the above condition gives results as required.
Can anybody explain the result or is it a bug?
could you please explain why you are using rownum.
You may have a look at the following link explaining rownum and you should understand why you got this result, keep in mind that you are using an OR condition.

Case statement resulting into Left outer join with other tables
Hi All ,
I am facing a stuation where a Case statement on one of the logical columns in Answers is resulting into a left outer join with a table in the query.
If we remove the case stmt, the table is not being acessed.
The case stmt is a simple one and no other logical column is being accessed in the case stmt.
Please advice .
Thanks.Hi Sai,
No ..we dont have any left outer join ...its just that I am selecting measure from F1 which has a confimred dimension D1 with F2.Now when I dont have case stmt on measure from F1(Case stmt is something like : CASE WHEN "- P table"."P Column" = 'Y' THEN 'Right' ELSE 'Wrong' END), then it doesnt query F2.
However as soon as I introduce the case stmt ,the query creates a left outer join with F2.
Thanks. -
I have a very complicated query to construct that requires the use of 'AND', 'OR', and Outer Joins. Oracle's 9i documentation says you can't use an outer join with an 'OR'.
Can you suggest how I may return the correct records under the following conditions. There are 3 tables to join. Table A, Table B, and Table C. Tables A & B join with an = to common fields. The problem is with Table C.
The way the application was designed, it has to track a parent and child relationship. As such, the field to relate may exist in 1 of 2 fields. Let's see if I can draw it out for you.
Table A - Record 1
(ID = 1)
Table B - Record 1
(ID =1 [this relates to Table A.ID]
PID = 12345
CID = 67899
Site = A)
Table C - Record 1
(PID = 12345 [this relates to Table B.PID]
CID = 67899
Site = A)
Table C - Record 2
(PID = 67899 [This relates to Table B.CID]
CID = 12345
Site = A)
Now, I need to relate Table A to Table B where A.ID = B.ID AND
((B.PID = C.PID AND B.CID = C.CID)
OR
(B.CID = C.PID AND B.PID = C.CID))
AND
B.SITE = C.SITE
There may or may NOT be related records in Table C. That's the problem. This is where I need the outer join to get the all the records of the 1st two joins and only those that apply from the last join.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.I'd create two queries, a join from b to c in each of those manners and then UNION ALL the results together.
drop table junk_a;
create table junk_a (
id number );
drop table junk_b;
create table junk_b (
id number,
pid number,
cid number,
site varchar2(80) );
drop table junk_c;
create table junk_c (
pid number,
cid number,
site varchar2(80) );
insert into junk_a values (1);
insert into junk_b values (1, 12345, 67899, 'A');
insert into junk_c values (12345, 67899, 'A');
insert into junk_c values (67899, 12345, 'A');
commit;
SELECT b.*,
c.site AS site_c
FROM junk_b b,
junk_c c
WHERE c.pid(+) = b.pid
AND c.cid(+) = b.cid
UNION ALL
SELECT b.*,
c.site AS site_c

junk_c c

Problem with outer join with filter on join column
Hi,
In physical layer I have one dimension and two facts, and there's an outer join between the facts.
dim_DATE ,
fact_1 ,
fact_2
Joins:
dim_DATE inner join fact_1 on dim_DATE.DATE = fact_1.DATE
fact_1 left outer join fact_2 on fact_1.DATE = fact_2.DATE and fact_1.SOME_ID = fact_2.SOME_ID
When I run a report with a date as a filter, OBIEE executes "optimized" physical SQL:
select fact1.X, fact2.Y
from
Fact_1 left outer join on fact_1.DATE = fact_2.DATE and fact_1.SOME_ID = fact_2.SOME_ID
where Fact_1.DATE = TO_DATE('2009-05-28' , 'YYYY-MM-DD' )
and Fact_2.DATE = TO_DATE('2009-05-28' , 'YYYY-MM-DD')
The filter on Fact_2.DATE effectively replaces outer join with inner.
Is there a way to disable this "optimization", which is actually very good for inner joins, but doesn't allow outer joins?
Thanks in advance,
Alex
Edited by: AM_1 on Aug 11, 2009 8:20 AMIf you want to perform a Fact-based partitioning with OBIEE (two fact with the same dimension), you have to :
* create in your physical layer for each fact table the joins with the dimension
* create in the Business Model layer ONE star schema with ONE logical fact table containing the columns of your two physical fact table
In this way when you choose minimal one column of your fact1 and one column of your fact2, OBIEE will perform two query against each fact table/dimension, join them with an OUTER JOIN and your problem will disappear.

Outer Join with Where Clause in LTS
HI all,
I have a requirement like this in ANSI SQL:
select p1.product_id, p1.product_name, p2.product_group
from product p1 left outer join product_group p2 on p1.product_id = p2.product_id
and p2.product_group = 'NEW'
In Regular SQL:
select p1.product_id, p1.product_name, p2.product_group
from product p1, product_group p2
WHERE p1.product_id *= p2.product_id and p2.product_group = 'NEW'
In OBIEE, I am using a left outer join between these two in Logical table Source, and also, Gave
p2.product_group = 'NEW' in WHERE clause of LTS.
This doesn't seem to solve purpose.
Do you have any idea how to convert WHERE clause in physical query that OBIEE is generating to something like
product p1 left outer join product_group p2 on p1.product_id = p2.product_id AND p2.product_group = 'NEW'
I am using Version 10.1.3.4.1
Creating an Opaque view would be my last option though.Hello
I have read your post and the responses as well. and I understand that you have issues with the Outer Join with where Clause in LTS.
Try this solution which worked for me (using your example ) -
1. In the Physical Layer created a Complex join between PRODUCT and PRODUCT_GROUP tables and use this join relationship :
PRODUCT.PROD_ID = PRODUCT_GROUP.PROD_ID AND PRODUCT_GROUP.GROUP_NAME = 'MECHANICAL'
2. In the General Tab of PRODUCT table LTS add PRODUCT_GROUP table and select Join Type as Left Outer Join.
3. Check Consistency and make sure there are no errors .
when you run a request you should see the following query generated -
select distinct T26908.PROD_ID as c1,
T26908.PROD_NAME as c2,
T26912.GROUP_NAME as c3
from
PRODUCT T26908 left outer join PRODUCT_GROUP T26912 On T26908.PROD_ID = T26912.PROD_ID and T26912.GROUP_NAME = 'MECHANICAL'
order by c1, c2, c3
Hope this works for you. If it does please mark this response as 'Correct' .
Good Luck. -
I have written the below query, our requirement is, Some employees have "Transport Allowance" but not "Project Allowance". For this, I tried to use OUTER JOIN with this query.

Outer join with effective date in peoplesoft query
Hi,
I'm trying to join two tables using outer join. Both tables are effective dated:
Dept_Tbl: dept_id, status, effdt
Tips_Tbl: dept_id, tips_id, effdt
Not all records in Dept_Tbl are in Tips_Tbl. I need to get all active depts and their most recent tips_id if they have one.
select a.dept_id, b.tips_id
from dept_tbl a, tips_tbl b
where a.status = 'Active'
and a.effdt =
(select max(a_ed.effdt) from dept_tbl a_ed
where a.dept_id = a_ed.dept_id
and a_ed.effdt <= SYSDATE)
and b.dept_id(+) = a.dept_id
and b.effdt =
(select max(b_ed.effdt) from tips_tbl b_ed
where b.dept_id = b_ed.dept_id
and b.tips_id = b_ed.tips_id
and b_ed.effdt <= SYSDATE)
The query only returns records that are in both tables.
Is there a way for outer join to work with effective dates?
Thanks in advance,
RegHere is an example of one solution. Note the use of NVL on both sides of the equal sign since both sides could be NULL in the case of the outer join
with dept_tbl as (select 1 dept_id, SYSDATE effdt FROM DUAL),
tips_tbl as (select 1 dept_id, NULL effdt FROM DUAL)
select a.effdt
from dept_tbl a,
tips_tbl b
where b.dept_id(+) = a.dept_id
and NVL(b.effdt, SYSDATE) = NVL((select max(b_ed.effdt)
from tips_tbl b_ed
where b.dept_id = b_ed.dept_id
and b_ed.effdt <= SYSDATE), SYSDATE);

Join columns of outer join with table have no uniqueness cons
Hi! I'm getting noizy error in alert log from time to time:
Join columns of outer join with table <table_name> have no uniqueness constraints
I've collected all the queries (v$sql, all_source) with montioned table, but non of them produces that error if executed.
Any hints how to reproduce this error or where else to search that buggy sql join?
Edited by: user545083 on 25.10.2010 6:21Hi
I think this error is output via an materialized view refresh - check for mviews against the given table which fulfil the issue given in the error text.

Outer Joins with multiple conditions - alternatives to UNION?
It is my understanding that Oracle 8i does not directly support mutiple conditions for outer joins. For instance, I'm looking for PEOPLE who may, or may not, be on MEDICATIONS.
All MEDICATIONS are listed with DRUGNAME and DRUGID. There thousand of different drugs. I'm only looking for PEOPLE on either one or two of them (to make it simple) or no drug at all (ignoring all other DRUGS they're on..) IF they are on the DRUG, it's gerts printed.
I'd ideally do a LEFT OUTER JOIN to do this with multiple conditions:
SELECT DISTINCT
PERSON.NAME,
MEDICATION.DRUGNAME,
MEDICATION.DRUGID
FROM
PERSON,
MEDICATION
WHERE
PERSON.ID = MEDICATION.ID (+) AND
(MEDICATION.DRUGID (+) = 632 OR
MEDICATION.DRUGID (+) = 956)
This, of course, is not valid, at least in 8i...
So I've taken the UNION approach:
SELECT DISTINCT
PERSON.NAME,
MEDICATION.DRUGNAME,
MEDICATION.DRUGID
FROM
PERSON,
MEDICATION
WHERE
PERSON.ID = MEDICATION.ID (+) AND
MEDICATION.DRUGID (+) = 632
UNION
SELECT DISTINCT
PERSON.NAME,
MEDICATION.DRUGNAME,
MEDICATION.DRUGID
FROM
PERSON,
MEDICATION
WHERE
PERSON.ID = MEDICATION.ID (+) AND
MEDICATION.DRUGID (+) = 956
This of course, does work, but as I've added more drugs this becomes quite unwieldly and not really sure what this does to performance. (There are also several more joins to other tables, not relevent here.)
In addition, if I import this into Crystal Reports 8.5 (as opposed to the Crystal Query Designer), it refuses to recognize the UNION.
-- Any suggestions for alternative syntax ???
-- Has this been addressed in 9i ???
Thanks,
WillYou could try
select Distinct Person.Name, Med.DrugName, Med.DrugId
from Person,
(select ID, DrugName, DrugId from Medication
where DrugId in (632, 956) ) Med
where Person.ID = Med.ID(+)
SELECT DISTINCT
PERSON.NAME,
MEDICATION.DRUGNAME,
MEDICATION.DRUGID
FROM
PERSON,
MEDICATION
WHERE
PERSON.ID = MEDICATION.ID (+) AND
(MEDICATION.DRUGID (+) = 632 OR
MEDICATION.DRUGID (+) = 956)

How to achieve an outer join with existsNode() function

Inner join Vs Outer join with ABAP code...?
Inner join Vs Outer join with ABAP code...?
Inner Join means, it will not select that recor at all, unless there is a matching entry in the second table.
suppose table VBAK INNER join table VBAP on VBAKVBELN = VBAPVBELN.
In this case, if there are no entries in VBAP, the header entry also will not show up.
But in case of OUTER JOIN, even if there is no items, it will show the header entry(VBAK) with blank columns for fields from item table.(VBAP)
here is one sample for inner join.

if you write var (+) = constant
var can be equal constant, and also can be null

LOCATION_CODE
TABLE B (total = 7)
ROW_WID
START_DATE
END_DATE
LOCATION_CODE
Initially, we were asked to join based on location_code. In the table B, some of the LOCATION_CODE are missing, which is present in table A.
We wrote below query
SELECT A.*, B.START_DATE, B.END_DATE
FROM A, B
WHERE A.LOCATION_CODE = B.LOCATION_CODE (+)
This gives 10 records, where 3 records have START_DATE and END_DATE NULL. because of outer join
It gave all records from the A table. It worked fine. Now i need to add one more condition where A.GL_DATE between B.START_DATE and B.END_DATE
If i write this
SELECT A.*, B.START_DATE, B.END_DATE
FROM A, B
WHERE A.LOCATION_CODE = B.LOCATION_CODE (+)
AND A.GL_DATE BETWEEN B.START_DATE and B.END_DATE
This gives me only 7 records. IS IT POSSIBLE TO ADD OUTER JOIN with BETWEEN clause.Hi All,
I'm in a similar situation,
I have a complex query, everything is working fine, except this part (I will simplify everything, removing other stuffs because I need help only on the following condition)
SELECT *
from transaction t, card c
where c.card_id = t.card_id (+)
and t.trn_date between to_date ('01/01/2012','dd/mm/yy') and ('01/01/2013,'dd/mm/yy')
How could i OUTER JOIN the between condition?
I tried with
and t.trn_date between to_date ('01/01/2012','dd/mm/yy') (+) and ('01/01/2013','dd/mm/yy') (+)
but returns a "missing expression" error.
Surely I'm missing some stupid thing about it, could you help me on this? (probably because I'm talking about parameters and I cannot put the outer join on a value)
How can I rewrite the condition in order to satisfy what I'm trying to accomplish?
Thanks in Advance,
Alex

Is there a way to make Crystal Reports XI not generate the {oj ..... syntax for outer joins?
In Crystal Reports 8, you could do a registry change to keep CR from using oj, but that doesn't seem to work on CR XI (or I don't know where to make the registry change)
Outer Join Escape Sequence builds the syntax for ODBC drivers using the outer join syntax in its SQL syntax.
Use Regedit on the problem client machine add following keys:
STEP 1........For Crystal Reports 9: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Decisions\9.0\Crystal Reports\Database\QueryBuilder\OuterJoinEscSeq
<<<OR>>>
...................For Crystal Reports 10:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Decisions\10.0\Crystal Reports\Database\QueryBuilder\OuterJoinEscSeq
STEP 2........"MSOuterJoinEscSeq"= "insert your ODBC driver name here": List of the drivers that support Microsoft ODBC {oj ..} join escape sequence.
"NoOuterJoinEscSeq"= "insert your ODBC driver name here": List of the drivers that do not support any join escape sequence.
For example...
MSOuterJoinEscSeq = "UVODBC"
