Syntax in "Where" clause

can you give me an example with operator Like in Where clause.
I need to do something like this:
Select Column from Table where Column like "request.getParameter("value")
Thanks.

Thanks, but I need to compare using "like " and "% Value %"
How about synatx in this case:
Select column1, column2 from table where column1 like '%request.getparameter("value1")%' or
column2 like '%request.getparameter("value2")%' and ...

Beginner: Getting syntax error on WHERE clause in SELECT

I'm very new to php and mySQL. Am using DW master/detail to generate to basic code I need. One thing I need to do is modify a select statement in the master to include a WHERE clause to limit the selection to a particular value in one field.
I'm getting a syntax error with the WHERE clause I'm adding to the map select statement.
This is the portion of the error message showing the error location:
'WHERE Group='Community' LIMIT 0, 10'
The php that generated the select is:
$query_maps = "SELECT * FROM tblmaps ORDER BY tblmaps.DispSeq";
$query_limit_maps = sprintf("%s WHERE Group='%s' LIMIT %d, %d", $query_maps, $selectGroup, $startRow_maps, $maxRows_maps);
This approach to creating the select statement is from the code generated for the master page. It adds the LIMIT clause. All I did was add the "WHERE Group='%s' and the $selectGroup variable which comes from earlier code. You can see that the $selectGroup variable is equal to the "Community: group.
I've scanned the web to see what syntax error I might be making but haven't found anything that explains it.
The full resolved select statement is:
SELECT * FROM tblmaps ORDER BY tblmaps.DispSeq WHERE Group='Community' LIMIT 0,10
What am I not seeing?
Tom

Thanks. Make sense but changing that didn't help.
Here's the error message I'm getting:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Group='Community' ORDER BY tblmaps.DispSeq LIMIT 0, 10' at line 1
The full select (from a debugging ECHO I inserted) is:
SELECT * FROM tblmaps WHERE Group='Community' ORDER BY tblmaps.DispSeq LIMIT 0, 10
Note that when I take the WHERE clause out, there is no syntax error.

Syntax error in WHERE clause

Hi all,
see the code.
data: itab type cdhdr occurs 0,
 wa type cdhdr.
data: begin of itab1 occurs 0,
 lifnr like lfa1-lifnr,
 ktokk like lfa1-ktokk,
 end of itab1.
select * from cdhdr into table itab.
select lifnr ktokk from lfa1 into table itab1
 for all entries in itab
 where lifnr = itab-objectid.
when i go for Syntax check i am getting Error like " when using the addition for all entries in itab " the fields LIFNR and ITAB-OBJECTID must have the same type and lengh.
so, i have done the following correction in WHERE clause.
select lifnr ktokk from lfa1 into table itab1
 for all entries in itab
 where lifnr = itab-objectid(10).
But this time i am geting warning in German language.
my correction is correct or not ?
Pls guide me ..
Thanks
Krupali.

select lifnr ktokk from lfa1 into table itab1
for all entries in itab
where lifnr = itab-objectid(10).
But this time i am geting warning in German language.
my correction is correct or not ?
Answer is your correction is not correct.
we cannot use offset with for all entries.
you can do this way first take the itab-objectid(10) in some other field like temp than fire for all entries on temp.
like below.
select lifnr ktokk from lfa1 into table itab1
for all entries in itab
where lifnr = itab-temp."<-- see here

That is correct.
Datamover tries to insert data in PSOPRDEFN and rows exist with these keys.
To avoid this you can add the following statement in your script:
SET UPDATE_DUPS;
This will update the values other than the keys if a row already exists in the database with the keys in the dat file.
I can advice you to buy the new book of Jim Marion, PeopleSoft PeopleTools Data Management and Upgrade Handbook

ANSI SQL Syntax - What belongs to join-clause and what to where-clause

Hello,
we currently have a discussion about the ANSI SQL Syntax where we do not agree what belongs to the join clause and what belongs to the where clause in an ANSI Sytnax SQL Query.
Lets say there is a query like this:
+SELECT *+
FROM employees emp, departments dept
WHERE emp.dept_country = dept.dept_country
AND emp.dept_name = dept.dept_name
AND dept.dept_type = 'HQ'
AND emp.emp_lastname = 'Smith'
Primary key of the departments table is on the columns dept_country, dept_name and dept_type. We have a Oracle database 10g.
Now I have rewritten the query to Ansi Syntax:
+SELECT *+
FROM employees emp
JOIN departments dept
ON emp.dept_country = dept.dept_country AND emp.dept_name = dept.dept_name
WHERE dept.dept_type = 'HQ'
AND emp.emp_lastname = 'Smith'
Another developer says that this is not completely correct, every filter on a column that belongs to the primary-key of the joined table has to be in the join clause, like this:
+SELECT *+
FROM employees emp
JOIN departments dept
+ON emp.dept_country = dept.dept_country AND emp.dept_name = dept.dept_name AND dept.dept_type = 'HQ'
WHERE emp.emp_lastname = 'Smith'
Can somebody tell me which on is correct?
Is there any definition for that? I couldn't find it in the Oracle Database definition.
I just found out the names of the ANSI documents here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/ap_standard_sql001.htm#i11939
I had a look at the ANSI webstore but there you have to buy the PDF files. In my case thats exaggerated because both of the Queries work and i am just interessted if there is one correct way.
Thank you in advance
Marco

Hi,
As i guideline i would say, answer the question: should the result of the join be filtered or should only filtered rows be joined from a particular table?
This is helpful in the case of outer joins also, for inner joins it doesnt matters as said already be former posters, where there may be hughe semantical differences depending of where the predicates are placed.
From performance view, if we talk about oracle, take a look a the execution plans. You will see that there is (probably) no difference in case of inner joins. Even in case of outer joins the optimizer pushes the predicate as a filter towards the table if it semantically possible.

How to use "where" clause in modify statement

Hi
can any1 telll me is it possible to use a where clause in a modify statemetn. I want to use modify statemetn to insert a new recoed in a database table.
Regards
Sabahuddin Ahmed

MODIFY itab - itab_lines
Syntax :
... itab FROM wa TRANSPORTING comp1 comp2 ... WHERE log_exp.
With these additions the MODIFY statement assigns the content of the comp1 comp2 ... components of the wa work area specified after TRANSPORTING to all lines in the itab table that meet the logical condition log_exp. The wa work area must be compatible with the line type of the internal table.
The TRANSPORTING addition has the same effect as changing individual lines. The WHERE addition can only be specified together with the TRANSPORTING addition. After WHERE, any logical expression can be specified in which the first operand of each individual comparison is a component of the internal table. All logical expressions are therefore possible, with the exception of IS ASSIGNED, , and IS SUPPLIED. It is not possible to dynamically specify a component using bracketed character-type data objects.
While for standard tables and hashed tables all lines in the internal table are checked for the logical expression of the WHERE statement, for sorted tables, optimized access can be achieved by checking at least one opening part of the table key for parity using AND linked queries in the logical expression.
Example
Change the contents of the planetype component for all lines in the sflight_tab internal table in which this component contains the value p_plane1 to the value p_plane2.
PARAMETERS: p_carrid TYPE sflight-carrid,
            p_connid TYPE sflight-connid,
            p_plane1 TYPE sflight-planetype,
            p_plane2 TYPE sflight-planetype.
DATA sflight_tab TYPE SORTED TABLE OF sflight
                 WITH UNIQUE KEY carrid connid fldate.
DATA sflight_wa TYPE sflight.
SELECT *
       FROM sflight
       INTO TABLE sflight_tab
       WHERE carrid = p_carrid AND
             connid = p_connid.
sflight_wa-planetype = p_plane2.
MODIFY sflight_tab FROM sflight_wa
       TRANSPORTING planetype WHERE planetype = p_plane1.

Creating a where clause in the LOV query box

Hi guys is any able to help me with this one
i have a page in my app where there is a LOV drop down now the values for this drop down comes from a table that looks like this
users_for _form_TBL
E_MAIL
Vendor
[email protected]
oracle
[email protected]
sap
[email protected]
IBM
[email protected]
Oracle
[email protected]
intergraph
So my syntax for the LOV i mentioned looks like this
select VENDOR as display_value, VENDOR as return_value
from form_user_tab where E_MAIL = :APP_USER
order by 1 ;
so if [email protected] logs onto the app and has to make a selection on the LOV it would only display the vendors relative to his E_MAIL like oracle ,sap, IBM then he hits the submit button on the page then the vendor that he selected is inserted into another table .What i did on the insert table was create a trigger that after a vendor is inserted the trigger inserts a 1 into a column called assessed .
What i did after this was add a select in the where clause of the LOV so that it would check in the insert table if that vendor had been chosen before and not display it again to be selected my syntax the second time around in the SQL query box was
select VENDOR as display_value, VENDOR as return_value
from users_for _form_TBL where E_MAIL = :APP_USER
and (select 'vendor' , 'ASSESSD' from inserted _tbl_imp is null);
order by 1 ;
But im getting an error any ideas guys .Thank you

Hay man thanks for that info on the Tom Kyte Blog
--(the code you gave me )
select
    u.vendor display_value
, u.vendor return_value
from
    users_for_form_tbl u
where
    u.e_mail = :app_user
and not exists (select null from inserted_tbl_imp i where u.vendor = i.vendor)
order by
    u.vendor
--(After the error i tried )Then when i got the error i try'd using 'or exists' like this
--(code)
where
    u.e_mail = :app_user
and not exists (select null from inserted_tbl_imp i where u.vendor = i.vendor)
                      or exists (select null from inserted_tbl_imp i where u.vendor = i.vendor)
order by
    u.vendor
But the all the vendors that where in the same in the insert table came up in the drop down list example is oracle was assessed before then only oracle would appear in the drop down list and if it was assessed 3 times it would come up 3 times
--Then i tried to select where 'Assessed' is null   ('Assessed' is a column in the insert table which i created a trigger on to insert 1 in the 'ASSESSED' column when a vendor is begin assessed )
--(code)
where
    u.e_mail = :app_user
and not exists (select 'ASSESSED' from inserted_tbl_imp i where 'ASSESSED' is null )
order by
    u.vendor
This try didnt return any vendors at all
--Then i tried distinct
--(code)
where
    u.e_mail = :app_user
and not exists (select distinct 'VENDOR', from inserted_tbl_imp i where u.vendor = i.vendor)
order by
    u.vendor
This gave me a LOV ERROR
This is what i have tried so far there where others syntax's i tried last night as well but most of them came back as errors . Thanks again for you time and help fac586

Using Parameters in SQL-Query not only in where clauses

Hi,
I try to use Publisher parameters in the SQL Query from a Data Set.
All of them have default values.
So far, this is no problem, unless I try to use such a parameter value as an ordinary attribute value:
>
select
 case when (:pv_Group = 'no') then "DM15D_BETRIEBSTEIL"."BETR_TEIL"
 else :pv_some_Text end as Betr_Teil,
 case when (:pv_Group = 'no') then "DM15D_BETRIEBSTEIL"."SUVA_NR_FORM"
 else :pv_some_Text end as Suva_Nr,
 case when (:pv_Group = 'no') then "DM15K_RIS_FAKTEN_PRO_BTT_JHR"."RIS_VOLLBESCH"
 else sum("DM15K_RIS_FAKTEN_PRO_BTT_JHR"."RIS_VOLLBESCH") end as Vollbesch
from "GDWH05"
where
 "DM15D_BETRIEBSTEIL"."SUVA_NR_FORM" in (:pv_nim100)
 fetch first 65001 rows ONLY
>
The parameters 'pv_Group' and 'pv_nim100' are working fine. (when or where clauses)
The parameter 'pv_some_Text' unfortunately not. (simple literals)
When I try to validate the above SQL, I get the following Error:

java.io.IOException: prepare query failed[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 46033] Datatype: 25 is not supported.

After use a cast function:
>
else CAST(:pv_some_Text AS CHARACTER)
>
I get this ERROR:

java.io.IOException: prepare query failed[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 19002] Incorrect use of parameters. The parameters used in CAST cannot be resolved without ambiguity.

We use OBIEE 11.1.1.6.4 on a Win64-System.
Thank's for any help.

Hi Alex,
let's leave away any unnecessary details.
This is the SQL, inserted in the window 'Edit Data Set' of BIP Data Model:
>
select
 '--1' as Betr_Teil,
 '--2' as Suva_Nr,
 sum("GDWH05"."DM15K_RIS_FAKTEN_PRO_BTT_JHR"."RIS_VOLLBESCH") as Vollbesch
from "GDWH05"
where
 "DM15D_BETRIEBSTEIL"."SUVA_NR_FORM" in ('122-4.4')
 fetch first 65001 rows ONLY
>
Everything is fine when I click OK, the script goes back to the metadata.
Let's try this script with bind values in ORACLE SQL Developer.
This SQL is the physical part, found in the OBIEE-Log (Log level 5), except the bind values. Therefore we find, in the where clause, the join. In the logical sql, we don't have to join, because it's handled in the Common Enterprise Information Model (CEIM)
>
with
sawith0 as
select
sum(t39617.ris_vollbesch) as c1
from
dm15d_betriebsteil t39455,
dm15k_ris_fakten_pro_btt_jhr t39617
where
t39455.id_betriebsteil = t39617.id_betriebsteil
and t39455.suva_nr_form = '122-4.4'
select
d1.c1 as c1,
d1.c2 as c2,
d1.c3 as c3
from
select
:pv_some_text as c1,
:pv_some_text as c2,
sum(d1.c1) as c3
from
sawith0 d1
d1
where
rownum <= 65001
>
This SQL works fine, even with bind values for 'pv_some_text'.
But, when using the following SQL in the BIP Data Model:
>
select
 :pv_Text as Betr_Teil,
 :pv_Text as Suva_Nr,
 sum("GDWH05"."DM15K_RIS_FAKTEN_PRO_BTT_JHR"."RIS_VOLLBESCH") as Vollbesch
from "GDWH05"
where
 "DM15D_BETRIEBSTEIL"."SUVA_NR_FORM" in ('122-4.4')
 fetch first 65001 rows ONLY
>
The following ERROR occurs:
java.io.IOException: prepare query failed[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 46008] Internal error: File server\Query\Optimizer\ServiceInterfaceMgr\Utility\Src\SQOIUTypeVisitor.cpp, line 643.
In my opinion, either I use a wrong syntax, or BIP has a problem with parsing the script.
Thank you for your most welcome help.

Table function sensitive to where clause?

Hi-
In Oracle SQL, you can use the results of a PL/SQL function as a table with the "TABLE()" syntax. Example: "SELECT * FROM TABLE(myfunction(param1,param2)) ..."
Is there any (non-crazy) way for the function to be aware of the conditions in the WHERE clause of that SELECT statement? For example, if I wanted "myfunction" to know that I had specified "WHERE param3=10' without having to put param3 in the function call, could this be done?
Other SQL implementations support this. I know of at least one where you can map a table on top of a function where the "in" parameters can correspond to columns on the mapped table. Does Oracle support a similar syntax or strategy?

Not sure if it is too crazy for you ;)
But again I rely on a helper function since I am not sure about the purpose of the whole thing:
SQL> create or replace function set_param (p varchar2) return varchar2
as
begin
dbms_application_info.set_client_info(p);
return p;
end set_param;
Function created.
SQL> create or replace function myfunction
   return sys.dbms_debug_vc2coll
as
begin
   return sys.dbms_debug_vc2coll (sys_context ('userenv', 'client_info'));
end myfunction;
Function created.
SQL> select   *
from   table (myfunction())
where   set_param (3) is not null
COLUMN_VALUE
3                     Hope you get the idea ....

Dynamic Where Clause in a Loop ??

I need a dynamich where-clause in a Loop-Statement, like this:
LOOP AT gt_outtab INTO gs_outtab
WHERE ( delta IS INITIAL AND <f_per> IS INITIAL ).
 gs_outtab-delta = gs_outtab-per01.
 MODIFY gt_outtab FROM gs_outtab.
ENDLOOP.
First I tried this:
LOOP AT gt_outtab INTO gs_outtab
WHERE ( delta IS INITIAL AND (ls_per) IS INITIAL ).
 gs_outtab-delta = gs_outtab-per01.
 MODIFY gt_outtab FROM gs_outtab.
ENDLOOP.
but with both I get a syntax error.
Do you have an idea, how can I use the component I need dynamically?
thanks.

HI
GOOD
Dynamic Conditions
To specify a condition dynamically, use:
SELECT ... WHERE (<itab>) ...
where <itab> is an internal table with line type C and maximum length 72 characters. All of the conditions listed above except for selection tables, can be written into the lines of <itab>. However, you may only use literals, and not the names of data objects. The internal table can also be left empty.
If you only want to specify a part of the condition dynamically, use:
SELECT ... WHERE <cond> AND (<itab>) ...
You cannot link a static and a dynamic condition using OR.
You may only use dynamic conditions in the WHERE clause of the SELECT statement.

How to add a dynamic where clause for a sql based VO with group by query?

Hi,
Here is my case, I have a sql query based VO with the query like "select status, count(*) StatusCount from my_table group by status". Now I used the following java code trying to dynamically add the where clause to my VO to filter the rows based the type attribute in my DB table.
vo.setWhereClause("type='MyType1' ");
vo.executeQuery();
Then I got the sql syntax error. Looks like the ADF has added the where clause to the end of my sql so my sql becomes "select status, count(*) StatusCount from my_table group by status where type='MyType1' ". But what I expected was the correct syntax "select status, count(*) StatusCount from my_table where type='MyType1' group by status".
Does anyone know if this is an ADF bug? Or is there any other way to achieve my goal?
Thanks,
Chunyang
Edited by: Chunyang on Dec 13, 2012 9:09 PM

Hi,
When you use setWhereClause on the VO, it is applied on top of the VO query. I.e, assume your VO has the following query.
select empno, ename from empNow, if you apply the where clause programatically, only the two attributes that you are using in the select statement could be used. I.e
select * from (select empno, ename from emp) where ename='KING' - VALID
select * from (select empno, ename from emp) where deptno=10 - INVALID (because the inner query - the one you've defined as query for your vo does not have deptno attribute selected)If you would need to set a dynamic where clause, you need to make them available in your select statement / use bind variables.

Bind variable as where clause

hello,
we want to build an dynamic sql IR. so when a user logs into our application we have an page process that fills an application item :F_ITEM_WHERE with part of the where clause from an IR. On the page with the IR we have as region source something similiar to:
SELECT test_api_per_cus.get_per_name(id_per_cus) as Customer,
test_api_per_cus.get_per_cus_nr(id_per_cus) as "Cus.-Nr",
vtr_nr AS "VS-Nr."
id_vtr,
id_per_cus
FROM test_vtr
WHERE test_vtr.id_grp = :F_ID_GRP
AND test_vtr.id_per_cus IN
*(SELECT id_per_cus*
FROM viva_per_cus
WHERE LEVEL BETWEEN test_api_per_emo_r_tree.get_per_emp_r_tree_from(:F_ID_PER_EMP,
*:F_ID_GRP) AND*
test_api_per_emp_r_tree.get_per_mit_r_tree_to(:F_ID_PER_EMP,
*:F_ID_GRP)*
START WITH per_cus_nr =
test_api_per_emp_r_tree.get_per_emp_r_tree_tree(:F_ID_PER_EMP,
*:F_ID_GRP)*
CONNECT BY PRIOR per_cus_nr = per_cus_number
AND PRIOR id_grp = :F_ID_GRP)
AND EXISTS
so we want outsourcing the marked part of the where clause into :F_ITEM_WHERE. The result is as following:
SELECT test_api_per_cus.get_per_name(id_per_cus) as Customer,
test_api_per_cus.get_per_cus_nr(id_per_cus) as "Cus.-Nr",
vtr_nr AS "VS-Nr."
id_vtr,
id_per_cus
FROM test_vtr
WHERE test_vtr.id_grp = :F_ID_GRP
AND test_vtr.id_per_cus IN *|| :F_ITEM_WHERE ||*
AND EXISTS
Here says Apex that the Query cannot be parsed...if we fill the item plus 'AND test_vtr.id_per_cus IN' so our statement looks like this:
SELECT test_api_per_cus.get_per_name(id_per_cus) as Customer,
test_api_per_cus.get_per_cus_nr(id_per_cus) as "Cus.-Nr",
vtr_nr AS "VS-Nr."
id_vtr,
id_per_cus
FROM test_vtr
WHERE test_vtr.id_grp = :F_ID_GRP
*:F_ITEM_WHERE*
AND EXISTS
the query can parse but after that running apex says: bind :F_ITEM_WHERE not possible
Anyone got an solution for this? I think it´s only a syntax thing or something...
Thanks Daniel
Edited by: user12086353 on 14.09.2010 06:01

When posting code on the forum, put {noformat}{noformat} (with the curly brackets and the word code in lowercase) above and below your code like this...
{noformat}{noformat}
SELECT *
FROM emp
{noformat}{noformat}
It will then appear like this, preserving formatting...SELECT *
FROM emp
Please post your code, properly formatted of +exactly+ what you have put in the region source. I'm not convinced that you need dynamic SQL at all.

Dynamically stating the field name in the WHERE clause

Hello All,
Consider the following select statement.
SELECT kunnr INTO TABLE gt_kunnr
 FROM kna1
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN gt_table
 WHERE kunnr = gt_table-cust_id.
Suppose there is a case where I do not know the name of the internal table field
(say, "cust_id" in the above case) with which comparison is to be done in the WHERE clause. Only at runtime that fieldname is available. So in the WHERE clause can I mention it dynamically?
I tried using the following.
lv_fieldname = 'cust_id'.
SELECT kunnr INTO TABLE gt_kunnr
 FROM kna1
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN gt_table
 WHERE kunnr = gt_table-(lv_fieldname).
But this is giving a syntax error.
Could anyone suggest an alternate approach?

How to validate a user input for where clause?

I have a situation to validate a where clause which is input by the user.
Because the query will be run against huge tables and we need to notify the user if they input the clause is not valid.
I use the below query to try:
Select 'A' from blablabla where user_input_where_clause and 1=0;
however, it can not capture the error when the user input:
'name=123' while the right condition should be name='123'.
Can you pls advise ?

In this particular case, Oracle will not even try to run the SQL statement because of the syntax error. IF the WHERE condition supplied does not make sense, Oracle will not execute the statement, so it does not matter if the query accesses huge tables.
SQL> Select 'A' from blablabla where 'name=123' and 1=0 ;
Select 'A' from blablabla where 'name=123' and 1=0
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00920: invalid relational operator
SQL>IF you have a restriction as to what type/value can user specify for the where condition (asuming it would make sense to SQL engine), you would have to do it before submitting to the database.
Note, however, that user could specify any condition they like, having potentially damaging effects.

Using CASE on WHERE clause?

Is it posible to use a CASE on the WHERE clause?
I always used the following syntax on MSSQL
but Oracle aparently doesn't accept it:
SELECT...
WHERE
 CASE WHEN keyword IS NOT NULL THEN
 CONTAINS(field, keyword) > 0
 END AND
 CASE WHEN varcode IS NOT NULL THEN
 code = varcode
 END AND
