No database version specified?
No table structures/indexes given?
No indication of the cardinality, selectivity, skew of the data being queried.
Have you got a function based index for "trunc(course_start_date)"?
Why are you not specifying your comparison date as a DATE datatype rather than relying on implicit conversion? i.e. it should be "to_date('01-Jun-2007','DD-MON-YYYY')"
Have statistics been gathered on the data

  • Values from a Multi-Select in the where clause of a Select statement

    I have a web page that solicits query parameters from the user.
    The selections that the user makes will populate the WHERE clause of a Select statement.
    One of the controls on the page is a multi-select control.
    When this page posts, I would like to execute a Select statement wherein the selected values from this control appear in the .. Column IN ( <list here> ) portion of the WHERE clause.
    This is an extremely common scenario, but I cannot seem to locate a how-to or message thread that addresses this specific case.
    I have an idea that it may involve dynamic SQL or Execute Immediate, but cannot seem to pin down the answer.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Using if logic in the where clause of a select statement

    I have a select clause. And in the select clause there is a variable all_off_trt that can be 'Y' or 'N'.
    In the where clause I want to make it so that if a form variable is checked and all_off_trt is 'Y' then
    exclude it else if the form variable isn't checked then select it no matter what all_off_trt is.
    Is there any way to include either and if statement or a case statement within the where clause to acheive this? If not is there another way of doing it?
    Basically I am looking for a case statement like this
    case
    when all_off_trt = 'Y' and mail_para.code = 'Y' then false
    else true
    end

    Ok, so that really doesn't solve my problem. I have 3 different fields that I need to do that with. Each combining in a select statement to print an email list, as well as other thing limiting the where clause.
    This is currently what I have, tested and working 100%.
    cursor email_cur is
         select unique p.email,s.all_off_trt,s.all_deceased,s.no_enroll
    from participant p, trialcom t, ethics s
    where p.status='A'
    and p.surname=t.surname
    and p.initials=t.initials
    and s.trial_cd = t.tricom
    and s.centre = t.centre
    and p.email is not null
    and (t.centre in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='CENTRE')
    or 'XX' in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='CENTRE'))
    and (t.tricom in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='TRIAL')
    or 'XX' in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='TRIAL'))
    and (t.role in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='ROLE')
    or 'XX' in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='ROLE'))
    and (p.country in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='COUNTRY')
    or 'XX' in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='COUNTRY'))
    and (t.represent in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='REPRESENT')
    or 'XX' in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='REPRESENT'));
    This is in a program unit that runs when a button is clicked. At the end of that I need to add on the 3 case statements that help further narrow down the selection of emails to be printed. Then it prints the emails selected from this statement into a file. So it has to be done right in the select statement. The three table variables are the all_off_trt, all_deceased, and no_enroll. The form has 3 checkboxes. One for each, that when checked (giving the variable associated with the checkboxes a value of 'Y') excludes all emails that have a 'Y' in the coresponding table variable.

  • INTO clause expected in SELECT statement

    Hi all,
    I have this pl sql code that errors out:an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT statement.
    Code

    End;
    I have tried in vain to use select into, with both the select statements(separately). Please advise.
    Basically, I am comparing a field with the previous field and identifying faulty fields. Then I want to replace the faulty field with the previous field.

    I have tried this in vain:
    Declare
    prev_col1 FLOAT(10) := 0;
    v_col1 temp2.col1%type;
    v_col2 temp2.col2%type;

    UPDATE temp2 SET col1= prev_col1 WHERE (col1- prev_col1 > 10000 and prev_col1 > 0);
    End;
    I am only able to update the declared variable:v_col1. How do I update the original value in table temp2?

  • How to pass the parameter in the where clause of the select statement

    Hi All,
    Iam getting one of the value from the Input otd and using this value i need to query one of the tables in oracle database and selected the table using the oracle eway otd like shown below .
    otdRISKBLOCK_1.getRISKBLOCK().select() .
    where clause in side the select takes a string parameter as Iam getting the string parameter from the input otd and passing this to where clause by creating a string literal after deployment it is giving an error saying "ORA-00920: invalid relational operator".
    can any one throw some input on this .
    Thanks in Advance
    Srikanth

    You will see this error if the search condition was entered with an invalid or missing relational operator.
    You need to include a valid relational operator such as
      =, !=, ^=, <>, >, <, >=, <=, ALL, ANY, [NOT] BETWEEN, EXISTS, [NOT] IN, IS [NOT] NULL, or [NOT] LIKE in the condition. in the sql statement.
    Can you throw some more light on how are you designing your project?

  • Using ROWID in the WHERE clause of a SELECT statement

    hi all,
    my team is trying to select a value from a table using the rowid as the selection criterion
    e.g. select column_name from table_name where rowid > 'AAA112BBBCCC12A'
    this query does not appear to return accurate results e.g. it return rows instead of two. my questions are:
    1. is this a legitimate approach?
    2. should we convert the row id to varchar2? if so how should this be done?

    7 rows selected.1) using rowid to access a record is the quickest way so it is legitimate
    however using > has no real purpose as you point out you cannot get any meaningful results returned.
    2) No real need to convert however beware storing values in tables as Oracle does not guarantee to preserve the format in different versions so upgrading from 9i to 10g would invalidate your data.

  • Dynamic WHERE clause in SELECT statement

    Hi,
    I need to extract (SELECT) all the products in different salesorganizations. Since a product can be available in more than 1 salesorg I have created several properties in the PRODUCT dimension - 1 for each salesorganization (naming: Sxxxx where xxxx is the salesorganization number).
    Since I need to prefix the salesorganization property with an "S" I have created a property on the SALESORG dimension called SALESORG.
    Therefore I need to create a dynamic WHERE clause in the SELECT statement. Currently my script is:
    *SELECT(%SORG%, "[SALESORG]",SALESORG, [ID]=%SALESORG_SET%)
    *SELECT(%PROD%, "[ID]",PRODUCT, [%SORG%]="X")
    My first SELECT find the Sxxx (equal to the property I need in the PRODUCT dimension). My second SELECT uses the variable in the first SELCT statement to use the correct property for the WHERE clause.
    Unfortunately the code is not validated - any suggestions?
    /Lars

    Hi Lars,
    If you run it from a DM package without validating it, does it still work? I would bet it does.
    If this is the case I would open a message with SAP (it would be an enhancement request). Until they fix the validation code, you would just have to live with the script not validating.
    Cheers,

  • SELECT statement in FROM clause - syntax help

    Hi,
    I want to have a SELECT statement in the FROM clause. I get syntax error when doing this and since I am new to ABAP I need som help.
    I want to do the following, (and if anyone has any SELECT statement from their own system which you know there is no syntax error in please post it here so I can analyze the syntax):
    *I leave the INTO itab clause out, since I only want to demonstrate the functionality
    I am trying to get.
    <b>SELECT</b> tableOne~someField
    <b>FROM</b> tab <b>AS</b> tableOne (<b>SELECT</b> someField
                                         <b>FROM</b> tab
                                         <b>WHERE</b> someFiled > 1) <b>AS</b> tableTwo
    <b>WHERE</b> tableOnesomeField > tableTwosomeField
    like I said, the problem is that the select statement in the parenthesis in the from clause seems to be incorrect because I get "wrong expression" when trying to compile. Is this because I cannot have a select statement in the from clause or is it because of a minor syntax error, such as I forgot a dot, or some other sign?
    thanks and regards
    Baran

    sorry i am not enough familiar with sub queries but some error i can see which i will state here.
    1> you have to use sub queries i.e. select in ( ) after where clause because here you are fulfilling a where clause by another select statement.
    like this
    SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT
        INTO WA
        WHERE SEATSOCC = ( SELECT MAX( SEATSOCC ) FROM SFLIGHT ).
    2> you cannot specify field name without into clause either you have to use
    select *  or select f1 into tab-f1  like this...
    but if you are using select * without into you have to define
    tables : dbtab.
    selec * from dbtab. like that.

  • 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.

  • HOW CAN I  USE MULTIPLE INNERJOINS IN A SINGLE SELECT STATEMENT?

    I AM SHABEER AHMED,
    I AM GETTING AN ERROR WHILE I ATTEMPT TO EXECUTE A SELECT STATEMENT WITH MULTIPLE INNER JOINS . BECOZ I WANT TO FETCH ITEM DATA, PARTNER DATA  BASED ON HEADER DATA .
    THEN OF COURSE I HAVE FETCH DATA FROM VBAK VBAP VBKD SO LZ SEND ME THE SOLUTION.
    BYE

    Hi,
    1.Just see this:
    SELECT * INTO CORRESPONDING FIELD OF TABLE itab
    FROM t1 INNER JOIN t2 ON t1f4 EQ t2f4
    INNER JOIN t3 ON t2f5 EQ t3f5 AND
    t2f6 EQ t3f6 AND
    t2f7 EQ t3f7.
    2.But better to use for all entries.It increases the performance.
    FOR ALL ENTRIES
    Tabular Conditions
    The WHERE clause of the SELECT statement has a special variant that allows you to derive conditions from the lines and columns of an internal table:
    SELECT ... FOR ALL ENTRIES IN <itab> WHERE <cond> ...
    <cond> may be formulated as described above. If you specify a field of the internal table <itab> as an operand in a condition, you address all lines of the internal table. The comparison is then performed for each line of the internal table. For each line, the system selects the lines from the database table that satisfy the condition. The result set of the SELECT statement is the union of the individual selections for each line of the internal table. Duplicate lines are automatically eliminated from the result set. If <itab> is empty, the addition FOR ALL ENTRIES is disregarded, and all entries are read.
    The internal table <itab> must have a structured line type, and each field that occurs in the condition <cond> must be compatible with the column of the database with which it is compared. Do not use the operators LIKE, BETWEEN, and IN in comparisons using internal table fields. You may not use the ORDER BY clause in the same SELECT statement.
    You can use the option FOR ALL ENTRIES to replace nested select loops by operations on internal tables. This can significantly improve the performance for large sets of selected data.
    Example for ALL ENTRIES
    DATA: TAB_SPFLI TYPE TABLE OF SPFLI,
    TAB_SFLIGHT TYPE SORTED TABLE OF SFLIGHT
    WITH UNIQUE KEY TABLE LINE,
    WA LIKE LINE OF TAB_SFLIGHT.
    SELECT CARRID CONNID
    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE TAB_SPFLI
    FROM SPFLI
    WHERE CITYFROM = 'NEW YORK'.
    SELECT CARRID CONNID FLDATE
    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE TAB_SFLIGHT
    FROM SFLIGHT
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN TAB_SPFLI
    WHERE CARRID = TAB_SPFLI-CARRID AND
    CONNID = TAB_SPFLI-CONNID.
    LOOP AT TAB_SFLIGHT INTO WA.
    AT NEW CONNID.
    WRITE: / WA-CARRID, WA-CONNID.
    ENDAT.
    WRITE: / WA-FLDATE.
    ENDLOOP.
    INNER JOINS
    In a relational database, you normally need to read data simultaneously from more than one database table into an application program. You can read from more than one table in a single SELECT statement, such that the data in the tables all has to meet the same conditions, using the following join expression:
    SELECT...
    FROM <tab> INNER JOIN <dbtab> AS <alias> ON <cond> <options>
    where <dbtab> is a single database table and <tab> is either a table or another join expression. The database tables can be specified statically or dynamically as described above. You may also use aliases. You can enclose each join expression in parentheses. The INNER addition is optional.
    A join expression links each line of <tab> with the lines in <dbtab> that meet the condition <cond>. This means that there is always one or more lines from the right-hand table that is linked to each line from the left-hand table by the join. If <dbtab> does not contain any lines that meet the condition <cond>, the line from <tab> is not included in the selection.
    The syntax of the <cond> condition is like that of the WHERE clause, although individual comparisons can only be linked using AND. Furthermore, each comparison must contain a column from the right-hand table <dbtab>. It does not matter on which side of the comparison it occurs. For the column names in the comparison, you can use the same names that occur in the SELECT clause, to differentiate columns from different database tables that have the same names.
    The comparisons in the condition <cond> can appear in the WHERE clause instead of the ON clause, since both clauses are applied equally to the temporary table containing all of the lines resulting from the join. However, each join must contain at least one comparison in the condition <cond>.
    Example for INNER JOINS
    REPORT demo_select_inner_join.
    DATA: BEGIN OF wa,
    carrid TYPE spfli-carrid,
    connid TYPE spfli-connid,
    fldate TYPE sflight-fldate,
    bookid TYPE sbook-bookid,
    END OF wa,
    itab LIKE SORTED TABLE OF wa
    WITH UNIQUE KEY carrid connid fldate bookid.
    SELECT pcarrid pconnid ffldate bbookid
    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab
    FROM ( ( spfli AS p
    INNER JOIN sflight AS f ON pcarrid = fcarrid AND
    pconnid = fconnid )
    INNER JOIN sbook AS b ON bcarrid = fcarrid AND
    bconnid = fconnid AND
    bfldate = ffldate )
    WHERE p~cityfrom = 'FRANKFURT' AND
    p~cityto = 'NEW YORK' AND
    fseatsmax > fseatsocc.
    LOOP AT itab INTO wa.
    AT NEW fldate.
    WRITE: / wa-carrid, wa-connid, wa-fldate.
    ENDAT.
    WRITE / wa-bookid.

  • How to use a select statement with chinese characters?

    I am currently developing a java servlet<using tomcat 4.x> which allows me to use select statement to retrieve results from the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database. I am using a simple form to get the parameter for querying. The main problem i'm facing is that there are chinese information in the SQL database, but i can't retrieve it through the sql statement with the chinese characters input<thru the form with the help of NJ STAR>in the WHERE condition. When i execute the statement, it returns me no results even though the rows are present in the database.
    Does anyone have the solution to using chinese words in the WHERE clause of the select statement to retrieve results with columns which contains chinese characters? Please help me. Thanks everyone. :)
    PS: when i cut and paste those characters in the sql database and paste onto java.. it is ??? in questionmarks.. but when i paste them into excel 2000.. its shown as chinese chars again..
    please heelppp~~

    Greetings,
    PS: when i cut and paste those characters in thesql
    database and paste onto java.. it is ??? in
    questionmarks.. but when i paste them into excelThis is why the SELECT is not returning any results.
    You need to set the character encoding set on your
    statement and parameters for the characters to be
    properly translated. Refer to the charsetName
    parameter in the String class constructor in your API
    docs and also to
    $JDK_DOCS/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html in your JDK
    documentation.
    2000.. its shown as chinese chars again..Because Office programs are performing the same kind
    of character translation with the appropriate MS APIs.
    please heelppp~~Regards,
    Tony "Vee Schade" Cookis it possible for you to show me some coding examples? i don't really understand what is to be done in order to set the char set and what does it really do.. tried reading up but still dun understand.. :(
    pardon my shallow knowledge of java..
    ok..
    The thing is when i used an insert statement with chinese characters of GBK format hardcoded into the java servlet and then i use the insert statement to insert the chars into the database, it cannot be seen as a chinese word when i off the NJStar. and then it can be searched out with my current form of servlet.. below is my coding of the servlet..

  • Order of records in o/p  of select statement

    Hi all
    I have doubt regarding the select statement. I need to execute a select statement (with out any order ie with out "order by") which searchs a table. I want to know whether in any
    circumstances the order of the records of the select statement is different.
    sample select statement which I need to execute
    select emp_no from emplyees where designation = 'programer'
    in one word order of records of in the o/p of a select statement will be unique ?
    (provided same query same, table,)
    can u plz quote the link to get more information
    regards
    Renjith

    Hi,
    YES, you can
    Do Order By Without Using Order By Clause
    in your select statement.
    I assume that you have unique data ( e.g. emp_no in Emp Table ) and you you do not want to use Order by clause.
    Solution 1:
    Select Emp_no
    from Emp
    group by Emp_no;
    the o/p will be in the sorted in the Ascending order.
    Solution 2: ( Only for columns holding Numeric Values )
    Select Emp_No
    From Emp
    Where 99999 - Emp_no in ( Select 99999 - Emp_no from Emp );
    Again this will sort the result will be in the Descending Order. you can use any big number instead of 99999 but it should be greater than Emp_no value.
    Note: You Should only use this method on not very large tables coz of performance issue.
    Hope this will solve your problem.
    Any Comment on this, any body.
    Thanks and Regards
    There is always a solution to the problem, And if there is no solution of a problem then problem is not a problem.

    Thanks
    Pravn

    Hi, Pravn,
    Remember the ABC's of GROUP BY:
    When you use a GROUP BY clause and/or an aggregate fucntion, then every item in the SELECT clause must be:
    (A) an <b>A</b>ggregate function,
    (B) one of the "group <b>B</b>y" expressions,
    (C) a <b>C</b>onstant, or
    (D) something that <b>D</b>epends entirely on the above. (For example, if you "GROUP BY TRUNC(dt)", you can "SELECT TO_CHAR (TRUNC(dt), 'Mon-DD')").
    There's a GROUP BY clause in your main query, so every item in the main SELECT clause must be one of the above. The last item, the unnamed scalar sub-query, is none of the above.
    How can you fix this problem? That depends on your data, the results you want, and perhaps on your Oracle version. If you'd like help, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved. Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.
    Always say which version of Oracle you're using.
    You may have noticed that this site normally doesn't display multiple spaces in a row.
    Whenever you post formatted text (including, but limited to, actual code) on this site, type these 6 characters:
    \(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section of formatted text, to preserve spacing.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • How to model in OWB if you have a subquery in your select statement? (11.2)

    Which operator (is it the Table operator) to use if I have a subquery as part of my select statement? (The way I do it works, but is not elegant. What I do is create a table for the subquery and than join that with the other sources to point to my target.) But, would appreciate the best way with OWB's features.
    Here is the entire SQL (including the subquery):
    SELECT to_numbe (null), course_id
    at.book, lp.NAME,
    (select b.pricing from qp_pricing_attributes b
    where b.list_id = ll.list_id and b.product = at.product) sign,
    ll.operand AS price, lhb.comments
    FROM
    pricing_attribs at,
    list_lines ll,
    list_h lp,
    list_b lhb
    WHERE 1 = 1
    and ll.list_line_id = atrib.list_line_id
    AND ll.list_header_id = lp.list_header_id
    AND lp.list_header_id = lhb.list_header_id
    Thanks you.

    Hi
    Doesn't need to be a table in the target. Let's take a very simple example, let's say you wanted to do the following;
    select ename,(select dname from dept d where d.deptno=e.deptno) from emp e
    Then DEPT is your lookup table and EMP is your driving table.
    1. Add EMP on to the canvas.
    2. Add in lookup operator
    3. Bind lookup to DEPT
    4. Hit finish
    5. Map EMP.DEPT to DEPT.INGRP1 (the lookup operator)
    6. Edit lookup operator, on Lookup Conditions tab set DEPTNO for lookup column, and DEPTNO for input attribute
    7. Lookup complete now
    You can add in a target table operator and map from the source EMP table and the output attributes of the lookup operator. you can change step 4 to carry on through wizard and define lookup, but I have chosen to do 5, to automatically get the names and datatypes of the inputs. There are lot of other options now in 11gR2 in the lookup.
    Hope this makes sense.
    Cheers
