Subquery with ORDER BY

AFAIK, subquery can have ORDER BY clause in 9iR2. But why I got this error:
SQL> SELECT student_id FROM student
2 WHERE zip =any (SELECT zip
3 FROM zipcode
4 WHERE rownum<=5 ORDER BY zip)
5
SQL> /
WHERE rownum<=5 ORDER BY zip)
ERROR at line 4:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
The error disappear if I remove the ORDER BY clause. My version is 9.2.0.1.0.

I'm sorry. ORDER BY is valid only in inline view and not in sub-query.
SQL>select empno from emp
2   where empno in (select empno from emp order by sal)

A subquery in order by clause

I don't know what's the meaning of a subquery in order by clause.
for example
select * from table_name
order by (select column from table_name where rownum<=1),
I hope someone can tell me the answer

I don't think I can really come up with a situation where it would be any better than other approaches, but it can be used to derive a value which is then used to ORDER the results of the outer query, i.e.
SQL> SELECT a FROM t;
A
A1
B1
2 rows selected.
SQL> SELECT a, seq FROM o;
A SEQ
A1 10
B1 20
2 rows selected.
SQL> SELECT a FROM t
2 ORDER BY ( SELECT seq FROM o WHERE o.a = t.a );
A
A1
B1
2 rows selected.
But, I would still go with a simple join in this situation.
Note, that the subquery can only return one row :
SQL> SELECT * FROM T ORDER BY ( SELECT A FROM T );
SELECT * FROM T ORDER BY ( SELECT A FROM T )
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row

Hi,
Add a new KM step with the SQL you want to use for the sub query and select the +"Use Current Command for Derived-Table sub-select statement"+ checkbox. This new step can be the last one of your IKM.
Basically, you can copy the select statement of the "Insert new rows" step.

Problem with order in iPhoto

problem with order in iPhoto. I can't buy a card, because there comes an Message "Ihre Karte enthält offenbar Standardtext, der noch nicht bearbeitet wurde. Gedruckte Karten enthalten diesen Text nicht. Möchten Sie fortfahren?" What should I do?

That message means that you have text boxes that have not been used. The holding text that appears in the box will not be printed. But if you want to get rid of the warning just put a space in the text box.
OR, check to see if the card layout has the same page but without a text box. Most do.

Sir,
We have make the supplementary Invoice (Debit Note) as per below process
1) Create sales order_VA01
2) Create billing document_VF01_with reference to sales order
3) Create Excise Invoice With J1IS (Other Movement) It is manually job & due to heavy work load (create 200 invoice per day) it is not possible to do manually.
Hence we want to create excise Invoice with J1IIN instead of J1IS, any alternative solution for that?

Hi,
I came across a similar situation once. I dont remember exactly.
We have two different DataSources on wbs hierarchy. The hiearchy was loaded using the two datasources.
By mistake we were trying to use the hierarchy created by Datasource2, instead of hier created by datasource1.
Can you check that.

Problem in Outbound delivery with order reference

Hi,
I am facing problem with creation of outbound delivery with order reference from transaction VL01N. When i enter into the transaction with order key in, but in the tab Picking there is one column Pick quantity which is showing as grey field with zero value(Grey field don't allow to change the quantity). This Pick quantity is always allow to put us required quantity but i come across this kind of scenario very first time. Can you please help.
Thank you.

Hi,
Your combination of Plant+Storage location is enabled for warehouse management. So directly putting the picking value is not possible. You have two options now.
1. If you know howto put pickign through transfer orders, do it through LT03 and confirm teh TO for picking quantity to be updated in delivery. You have to find out teh stock in the source bin and use it in transfer order. You may get in touch with WM consultant, if you dont know how to do it.
2. If you are ok with just doing picking without WM, then you can change the storage location in delivery and then try picking in delivery itself. The storage location should not be enabled for WM for the plant.

How to use a parameter with Order By?

I am trying to pass in a parameter to a procedure (like 'ColumnName ASC, ColumnName DESC') to use with ORDER BY, but I can't get it to order on the passed in parameter? I have read a few posts but non of my attempts have worked.
Procedure getEquipmentList(io_cursor OUT ref_cursor_Equipment), orderString IN VARCHAR2, RecordStart IN NUMBER, RecordEnd IN NUMBER) IS
Equipment_Cursor refCursor_Equipment;
Use_Order NUMBER := 1;
BEGIN
OPEN Equipment_Cursor
FOR SELECT *
FROM TABLE(
PACKAGE_EQUIPMENT.getRecordSetOfEquipment(
CURSOR(
SELECT * FROM (SELECT idEquipment, strEquipmentName, deletedFlag, Row_Number() OVER (ORDER BY DECODE(Use_Order, 1, orderString)) AS r FROM tblEquipment) WHERE r >= RecordStart AND r <= RecordEnd)));
io_cursor := Equipment_Cursor;
END;
If I replace orderString in the DECODE with say strEquipmentName it orders correctly. If I try 'strEquipmentName' then it does not work. Any ideas would be helpful.

For update with order by

Hello all,
Does anyone know if "order by" has precedence over "for update"? In other words, using the following query. Will the resulting rows be sorted first and then locked or they will be locked first and then sorted?
SELECT /*+ cardinality(al 1) use_nl(al t) */ NULL
BULK COLLECT INTO l_nullvalue_list
FROM TABLE (i_list) al, my_table t
WHERE al.id = t.id
ORDER BY t.id
FOR UPDATE OF t.id;
Any help is very much appreciated.
Regards,
wf

This is the case I'm talking about:
drop table t cascade constraints purge;
create table t as select rownum id, cast('x' as char(100)) pad
                    from dual connect by level <= 10000;
drop table t1 cascade constraints purge;
create table t1(id int);
-- 1st session
SQL> lock table t1 in exclusive mode;
Table(s) locked
-- 2nd session
declare
    type t1_type is table of rowid index by binary_integer;
    l_tab t1_type;
begin
    execute immediate 'lock table t1 in share mode';
    select rowid bulk collect into l_tab
      from t order by dbms_random.value
       for update;
end;
-- 3rd session
declare
    type t1_type is table of rowid index by binary_integer;
    l_tab t1_type;
begin
    execute immediate 'lock table t1 in share mode';
    select rowid bulk collect into l_tab
      from t order by dbms_random.value
       for update;
end;
/Now 2nd & 3rd sessions are blocked by 1st. Let's release that lock:
-- 1st session
SQL> commit;
Commit complete2nd & 3rd sessions are trying to lock rows of table T, and one of sessions fails with deadlock:

    l_tab t1_type;
begin
    execute immediate 'lock table t1 in share mode';
    select rowid bulk collect into l_tab
      from t order by dbms_random.value
       for update;
end;
ORA-00060: deadlock detected while waiting for resource
ORA-06512: at line 7If you repeat the same scenario with ORDER BY id, then one session will be waiting for enqueue.
So, it's all about order in which row locks are acquired.

Create STO with order unit of measure

Hello,
Is there a way to create Plant to plant STO with ordering unit of measure? Based on our customization we are not able to use Unit of issue from supplying plant and we also cant have base unit of measure in the STO.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks!

Hi,
Please refer the KBA: 1980679 - Why the field 'Unit of Issue' of the supplying plant is taken in STO? which explains the standard design. The unit of issue in the supplying plant has the highest priority in case of intra company STO and there is no configuration option to change it as of my knowledge. If you need to alter the standard behavior, you may check the feasibility of development. You may check the BAdI: ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST

Prepared Statement with ORDER BY

I am trying to use order by with prepared statement but it is not ordering.
String sql = "SELECT * FROM MATERIAL WHERE (LOWER(NAMEE) LIKE ('%' || ? || '%') ORDER BY ? ";
PreparedStatement ps=CM.getStatement(sql);
ps.setString(1,p);
ps.setString(2,sort);
ResultSet r = ps.executeQuery();
Can any one tell me how do I use prepared statement with order by

You can not parameterize column names and such, only literals. You should build the ORDER BY clause dynamically.

Oracle query tuning : query with Order-by clause

Hi
I am having a query in my database :
SELECT * FROM SAPR3.HRP1001 WHERE "MANDT" = 990

Since it is a issue with order by , it seems a PGA memory issue. there is 12GB PGA available but only 3GB gets allocated. pga_aggregate target is set in the DB. There is a index created for al the columns on order by, but it is not getting used.
pleas suggest me as I am running into major problems, i can post the output of any query u require from my side. Any help wil be highly apprciated.

Hi Rishi,
the provided execution statistics prove the opposite:
>Statistics
>...
>0 sorts (memory)
> 1 sorts (disk)
>512992 rows processed
This indeed was a single-pass sort, which means it had to use the temp tablespace for one pass of the sorting/grouping.
Remember that Oracle distinguishes three kinds of sorts: 1. "in memory", 2. "single-pass" and 3. "multi-pass".
Only the first one won't need to spill out data to the disks. The others do this by definition.
BTW: the file read times in ST04 are aquired through Oracle V$ views and not directly from the OS - that can make a big difference sometimes.

Lars
