Unable to collapse rows after full outer joining several tables

All -
I often do a "full outer join" on numerous tables when I want to report all of the
contents of all of the tables in one relatively easy to inspect set of output. However,
now that my "leading" table is missing certain values, my output is definitely not
what I want.
Here's a test case:
drop table test11;
create table test11 (x number);
insert into test11 values (1);
insert into test11 values (3);
drop table test12;
create table test12 (x number);
insert into test12 values (2);
insert into test12 values (3);
drop table test13;
create table test13 (x number);
insert into test13 values (1);
insert into test13 values (2);
drop table test14;
create table test14 (x number);
insert into test14 values (2);
commit;
select test11.x t11,
test12.x t12,
test13.x t13,
test14.x t14
from (((test11 full outer join test12 on test11.x = test12.x)
full outer join test13 on test11.x = test13.x)
full outer join test14 on test11.x = test14.x);
And here is the output:
T11 T12 T13 T14
1 1
3 3
2
2
2
5 rows selected.
Forgive me if this doesn't appear with a fixed-width font. I
don't know how to format these postings.
See rows 3, 4, and 5? My desire is to jam those
together so that my output is this instead:
T11 T12 T13 T14
1 1
3 3
2 2 2
3 rows selected.
Do you have any idea how to do this? Of course, I'll need to
apply the solution to the general case so that all
test cases similar to this are fixed!
Thanks very much for your time!
Tom G.

For anyone who's interested -
Here is the solution I was able to put together on my own:
select max(t11) t11, max(t12) t12, max(t13) t13, max(t14) t14 from
select coalesce(test11.x, test12.x, test13.x, test14.x) ct,
       test11.x    t11,
       test12.x    t12,
       test13.x    t13,
       test14.x    t14
  from (((test11 full outer join test12 on test11.x = test12.x)
                full outer join test13 on test11.x = test13.x)
                full outer join test14 on test11.x = test14.x))
group by ct;And the output:
       T11        T12        T13        T14
                    2          2          2
         1                     1
         3          3
3 rows selected.Bye,
Tom G.

  • How to get only matching rows in Full Outer Join

    HI All,
    I was recently asked this question.
    How to fetch only matching data from two tables using Full Outer Join. Now, I understand that this is not the objective of using Full Joins but I was wondering whether this is possible or not.
    Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

    Full outer join returns both matching and not matching rows, if you want only matching rows why you don't use INNER JOIN?
    The following query does an INNER JOIN using a FULL JOIN which I think it doesn't make any sense.
    SELECT *
    FROM
    A FULL OUTER JOIN B
    ON A.ColumnName = B.ColumnName
    WHERE
    A.ColumnName IS NOT NULL
    AND B.ColumnName IS NOT NULL

  • Ora-22905:cannot access rows from a non-nested ...(during full outer join)

    Greetings Gurus,
    I'm getting an ORA-22905 when I try and do a full outer join in the following function. If I include the commented lines in the perstren_diff_recs2 function I get the error. Both halfs of the union query work by themselves. When I union them bam error. Also, when I use the full outer join syntax the Oracle session craps the bed with a end of file communication error. That is why I'm using the simulated full outer join.
    My goal was to abstract the XML in my queries. The results from the pipelined function is a delta between what is in the XML document and a relational base table.

    Oracle bug when executing the query in a function

  • Using FILTER after a FULL OUTER JOIN problem in OWB

    Hi,
    I’m using OWB 11.2.
    In an OWB mapping I need to detect every changes (Insert, Update, Delete) made to the data of a table. In order to find these changes I need to use “FULL OUTER JOIN” and a “FILTER” to join current table to previous table.
    My desired generated query should be like this:
    Select *
    From tab1 FULL OUTER JOIN tab2 on JOIN_CONDITION
    WHERE FILTER_CONDITION
    The problem is that when OWB generates the code, the query will be like this:
    Select *
    From tab1 FULL OUTER JOIN tab2 on JOIN_CONDITION AND FILTER_CONDITION
    As you know these 2 queries are not the same at all!
    I don’t know how to make OWB generate my desired SQL. Please help me…

    Works ok on 11.2.0.3
    Are you using "( + )" for join condition in joiner? Or, are you using "Join input role" parameter to define full outer join condition? Are you using oracle or ANSI syntax?

  • SQL Query Assistance Required for Full Outer Join

    Hi,
    Lets say I have two tables, i.e:
    TAB_A (colA1, colA2, colA3, colA4)
    TAB_B (colB1, colB2, colB3, colB4) where colB2 is a FK to colA1
    I am after an SQL query that will cater for both the following two scenarios.
    Scenario 1:
    TAB_A has two rows of data, i.e
    (1, ABC100, 1, WG_A)
    (2, ABC100, 2, WG_B)
    TAB_B has one row of data, i.e
    (1, 1, EMP_222, 4)
    I use the following SQL:
    select a.*, b.*
    from tab_a a FULL OUTER JOIN tab_b b ON (a.colA1 = b.colB2)
    where a.colA2 = 'ABC100'
    This returns two rows:
    1, ABC100, 1, WG_A, 1, 1, EMP_222, 4
    2, ABC100, 2, WG_B
    Now, what I actually would like my query to do is actually only return the row where a tab_b record exists, i.e, should only return one record:
    1, ABC100, 1, WG_A, 1, 1, EMP_222, 4
    This I can achieve by using a RIGHT OUTER JOIN instead above, but this causes issue with my scenario 2, which is the following set-up
    Scenario 2:
    TAB_A has only one row of data this time, i.e
    (2, ABC100, 2, WG_B)
    TAB_B has no data at all this time
    This returns no rows but I actually now want this single record from tab_a returned.
    I basically require an SQL query that will cater for both the top 2 scenarios, i.e, if a tab_b record exists from the outer join then only return this record along with tab_a data. If a tab_b record doesn't exist, then only return the tab_a record.
    Hope the above makes sense.
    Thanks.

    Not sure what is wrong with your version. It might have to do with row_number not working on an empty row (outer joined).
    How about this alternative?
    The approach is a bit different, but it uses only one access to the user_source view.

  • Query with FULL OUTER JOIN , help pleaseeeeeeeeeeee...

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to write a query for a report in Oracle SQL, but i just can't figure out how to do it.
    I'm using Oracle 10g release 1.0 database and i execute my queris in SQL* PLUS ( eventually i'm gonna use them in Oracle Report Builder ) .
    here's what i have:
    i have four tables that are used for our inventory application. lets call them INCOMMING , INCOMMING_ITEMS , OUTGOING , OUTGOING_ITEMS.
    as you may have guessed , INCOMMING_ITEMS is the detail table for INCOMMING ( joined by IID column) and also OUTGOING_ITEMS is the detail table for OUTGOING ( joined by OID column ).
    here is the structure of them :
    INCOMMING
    IID varchar2
    CDATE date
    INCOMMING_ITEM
    IID varchar2
    PART_NO number
    QTY number
    OUTGOING
    OID varchar2
    CDATE date
    OUTGOING_ITEM
    OID varchar2
    PART_NO number
    QTY number
    now , the query i want, should return part_no , cdate , sum of OUTGOING qty , sum of INCOMMING qty .
    the result of the query should be sth like this :
    part_no     cdate     O_qty     I_qty
    100     01/05/06     10     0
    100     01/05/07     20     60
    200     01/06/02     0     50
    300     01/06/02     30     40
    this means that for some dates and for some parts, i may not have INCOMMING or OUTGOING data, but if at least one of the 2 last columns has a non-zero data, i should show the row ( like the first and third rows of my example result), and if both have data for the same PART_NO and the same CDATE, both should be showed in the same row. ( like the second row in my example result)
    i tried so much and came up with several huge and also time consuming queries, but then i read abt FULL OUTER JOIN somewhere and tried using that. here is what i came up with :
    SELECT
    PART_NO , CDATE , sum(II.QTY) I_QTY , SUM (OI.QTY) O_QTY
    FROM
         (OUTGOING O INNER JOIN OUTGOING_ITEM OI USING ( OID ) )
    FULL OUTER JOIN
         (INCOMMING I INNER JOIN INCOMMING_ITEM II USING ( IID ) )
    ON ( I.CDATE = O.CDATE AND II.PART_NO = OI.PART_NO)
    WHERE
    I.CDATE = :PARAMETER1
    AND O.CDATE = :PARAMETER1
    GROUP BY
    PART_NO , CDATE
    this query is short and fast , but the results r not what i expected. i mean, although i have used FULL OUTER JOIN in the query , but the results i get r sth like this :
    part_no     cdate     O_qty     I_qty
    100     01/05/07     20     60
    300     01/06/02     30     40
    which means only the rows that has both values are returned.
    any change i make to this query would make the SQL* PLUS hang , like when i use the cartesian product of two large tables, so i guess my changes wheren't in the right direction.
    i think its possible to write this query using FULL OUTER JOIN syntax, but i just can't find it.
    Can anybody pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee help me?
    thanx in advance,
    Maryam.

    Note: I wrote this on the fly -- hope there is no syntax errors, otherwise forgive me -- but you get the idea..

  • How can I join/Full outer join two different columns instead of union all?

    Hi,
    I have a scenario as the following:
    I am performing set operations using obiee 11g where I want to take values from two different criteria. Howwver, I dont want union to take place, instead i want join to take place to see all the columns in the output.
    For that, I tried changing the sql in advanced tab and tried to put full outer join instead of union all but its not allowing me to change.
    How can I achieve it? please help.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    My problem is that I am unable to modify the sql in advanced tab. Probably due to some security reason,it's restricting me to change.
    Can you suggest me a way to change it?
    Thanks..

    When I run the above query I get a problem.
    I am expecting to see is a merge of all the attribute_id's and their values.
    The query does not appear to be merging the data as intended.
    My understanding of the full outer join is that its a combination of left and outer joins,
    so the above query is intended to return with the total number of unique attributes
    and their appropriate values
    a) I have a bug in the Sql
    b) This is an oracle bug
    c) My understanding is incorrect
    Please Help

    How do you expect a full outer join operation when you have given --
    where c.partner_id=710326;According to your supplied data - i don't think your query can perform that full outer join operation because of that filtration. Just remove that last condition and checked it. You will get your desired result - hopefully.
    "It's like you want to view the things by closing down your both eyes". Do you think it will pay?

  • Full outer join unexpected results

    Warning, long message - I've searched the forums and found nothing similar. I've cut out as much as possible. We have been given the following schema to work with:
    CREATE TABLE CALLS (
    TRUNKIN VARCHAR2 (10),
    TRUNKOUT VARCHAR2 (10),
    DURATION FLOAT)
    Here is some test data:
    insert into calls values(null, 'a', 3);
    insert into calls values(null, 'a', 2);
    insert into calls values('a', null, 1);
    insert into calls values(null, 'a', 0);
    insert into calls values(null, 'a', 0);
    insert into calls values(null, 'a', 7);
    insert into calls values(null, null, 0);
    This is horribly unnormalized, but basically this table represent phone calls. trunkin and trunkout represent the two ends, and duration is length of a call. While obviously every call has two ends, the nulls above represent ends we don't care about in this example.
    The goal is to end up with data that looks like this. In English, we want the in and out summary statistics for each trunk to be summarized into a single row. (Sorry, these are supposed to be columns, but they got wrapped, so I reposted them as rows):
    TRUNKIN a
    IN_CALLS_ATTEMPTED 1
    IN_CALLS_COMPLETED 1
    IN_AVERAGE_DURATION 1
    TRUNKOUT a
    OUT_CALLS_ATTEMPTED 5
    OUT_CALLS_COMPLETED 3
    OUT_AVERAGE_DURATION 4
    Indeed, with the data given above, these are the results returned with the query at the end of this message. However, when I changed the one non-null trunkin value to null, I got very strange results. First, I independently ran the two subqueries. The first of course returns no rows, the second returns 1 with the same out values above; this is exactly what I would expect. However, when I run the full query, I get **5** rows back, each with just the trunkout column set to "a" and **all** other columns set to null. This makes no sense to me. The 5 rows are obviously the 5 rows from the original data set where trunkout = "a", but I'm not full outer joining those; I'm full outer joining the result of the group by, which only has 1 row. But even given that I'm getting 5 rows back, shouldn't all five of those have the remaining out columns filled in with the values above?
    Here is the query:
    select
    from
    SELECT
    trunkin as trunk,
    COUNT(*) AS in_calls_attempted,
    SUM
    CASE
    WHEN duration > 0 THEN 1
    ELSE 0
    END
    ) AS in_calls_completed,
    SUM(duration)/
    SUM
    CASE
    WHEN duration > 0 THEN 1
    ELSE 0
    END
    ) AS in_average_duration
    FROM CALLS
    WHERE trunkin IS NOT NULL
    GROUP BY trunkin
    ) callsin
    full outer join
    SELECT
    trunkout as trunk,
    COUNT(*) AS out_calls_attempted,
    SUM
    CASE
    WHEN duration > 0 THEN 1
    ELSE 0
    END
    ) AS out_calls_completed,
    SUM(duration)/
    SUM
    CASE
    WHEN duration > 0 THEN 1
    ELSE 0
    END
    ) AS out_average_duration
    FROM CALLS
    WHERE trunkout IS NOT NULL
    GROUP BY trunkout
    ) callsout
    on callsin.trunk = callsout.trunk;

    I am not entirely sure why you are getting the results you are, but I strongly suspect that it is a result of outer joining on null columns. I would write the query as follows to avoid the outer join problem. The CASE statements in the outer query around the average duration calulations avoid the divide by zero error that would occur when some trunk has only in or out calls.
    SELECT trunk,SUM(in_calls_attempted) in_calls_attempted,
           SUM(in_calls_completed) in_calls_completed,

  • Help Required in full outer Join

    I feel the below query can be changed to full outer join. But, I've not been able to do so.
    I require your help in changing it to full outer join. My current query is
    SELECT CLAIMNO,'1' INDX FROM D_CLAIM@CMS2PROD
    WHERE clntsys=76500 and facility=76501 and filecreatedt='18-feb-2011' and fileupdatedt is null
    MINUS
    SELECT CLAIMNO,'1' FROM D_CLAIM
    WHERE clntsys=76500 and facility=76501 and filecreatedt='18-feb-2011' and fileupdatedt is null
    UNION
    SELECT CLAIMNO,'2' FROM D_CLAIM

    I do not think that query is doing what you think that it is doing - on first inspection, it was not doing what I thought either due to the order in which the UNION and MINUS operators are performed. If the FILECREATEDT column is defined as a DATE, your query is relying on an implicit date conversion - in such a case, you should replace:
    filecreatedt='18-feb-2011'With:
    filecreatedt=TO_DATE('18-feb-2011','DD-MON-YYYY')Now, building a simple model to explain what is happening, we create two tables with 10 rows each. The first table has C1 values that increase by 2, while the second has C1 values that increase by 3:
    CREATE TABLE T1 AS
    SELECT
      ROWNUM*2 C1,
      TRUNC(SYSDATE)+ROWNUM*2 C2
    FROM
      DUAL
    CONNECT BY
      LEVEL<=10;
    CREATE TABLE T2 AS
    SELECT
      ROWNUM*3 C1,
      TRUNC(SYSDATE)+ROWNUM*3 C2
    FROM
      DUAL
    CONNECT BY
      LEVEL<=10;It appears that the intended result of your query is to obtain a distinct list of those rows that are in each table that are not in both tables - the UNION ALL minus the intersection of the rows in two tables. However, that is not what you are achieving with that query. To demonstrate, the two halves of your query:
    SELECT
      C1,
      C2
    FROM
      T1
    MINUS
    SELECT
      C1,
      C2
    FROM
      T2;
    C1 C2

  • Granting SELECT to user on VIEW with FULL OUTER JOIN fails?

    I have a quandary.
    Using Oracle 9i, I have created a simple view. When I perform a count on it, rows are returned.
    However, when I grant SELECT access to another user, they can't see the VIEW. The VIEW has a FULL OUTER JOIN operation in it.
    When I do the same thing using a regular join, it works.
    Any ideas why, please?

    According to Note:244315.1, it is not possible to make a FULL OUTER JOIN on views owned by another user at the 9i version of Oracle. As above, do not use FULL OUTER JOIN on views owned by another user. Try to use outer join operator (+), and/or UNIONS instead.

  • [8i] Need help with full outer join combined with a cross-join....

    I can't figure out how to combine a full outer join with another type of join ... is this possible?
    Here's some create table and insert statements for some basic sample data:
    CREATE TABLE     my_tab1
    (     record_id     NUMBER     NOT NULL     
    ,     workstation     VARCHAR2(4)
    ,     my_value     NUMBER
         CONSTRAINT my_tab1_pk PRIMARY KEY (record_id)
    INSERT INTO     my_tab1
    VALUES(1,'ABCD',10);
    INSERT INTO     my_tab1
    VALUES(2,'ABCD',15);
    INSERT INTO     my_tab1
    VALUES(3,'ABCD',5);
    INSERT INTO     my_tab1
    VALUES(4,'A123',5);
    INSERT INTO     my_tab1
    VALUES(5,'A123',10);
    INSERT INTO     my_tab1
    VALUES(6,'A123',20);
    INSERT INTO     my_tab1
    VALUES(7,'????',5);
    CREATE TABLE     my_tab2
    (     workstation     VARCHAR2(4)
    ,     wkstn_name     VARCHAR2(20)
         CONSTRAINT my_tab2_pk PRIMARY KEY (workstation)
    INSERT INTO     my_tab2

    INSERT INTO     my_tab2
    VALUES('A123','WKSTN 2');
    INSERT INTO     my_tab2
    VALUES('B456','WKSTN 3');
    CREATE TABLE     my_tab3

    VALUES(1,2);
    INSERT INTO     my_tab3
    VALUES(2,3);
    INSERT INTO     my_tab3

    Note: I'm stuck dealing with Oracle 8i
    Thanks!!

    Hi,
    The query I posted yesterday is a little more complicated than it needs to be.
    Since my_tab2.workstation is unique, there's no reason to do a separate sub-query like mt1; we can join my_tab1 to my_tab2 and get the SUM all in one sub-query.
    SELECT       foj.workstation
    ,       foj.sum_my_value
    ,       foj.wkstn_name
    ,       mt3.my_nbr1
    ,       mt3.my_nbr2
    FROM       (     -- Begin in-line view foj for full outer join
              SELECT        mt1.workstation
              ,        SUM (mt1.my_value)     AS sum_my_value
              ,        mt2.wkstn_name
              FROM        my_tab1   mt1
              ,        my_tab2   mt2
              WHERE        mt1.workstation     = mt2.workstation (+)
              GROUP BY   mt1.workstation
              ,        mt2.wkstn_name
                    UNION ALL
              SELECT      workstation
              ,      0      AS sum_my_value
              ,      wkstn_name
              FROM      my_tab2
              WHERE      workstation     NOT IN (     -- Begin NOT IN sub-query
                                               SELECT      workstation
                                       FROM      my_tab1
                                       WHERE      workstation     IS NOT NULL
                                     )     -- End NOT IN sub-query
           ) foj     -- End in-line view foj for full outer join
    ,       my_tab3  mt3
    ORDER BY  foj.wkstn_name
    ,       foj.workstation
    ,       mt3.my_nbr1
    ,       mt3.my_nbr2
    ;Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, as well as the very clear desired results!

    The tricky part is how and when to get SUM (my_value). You might approach this by figuring out exactly what my_tab3 has to be cross-joined to; that is, exactly what should the result set of the full outer join between my_tab1 and my_tab2 look like. To do that, take your desired results, remove the columns that do not come from the full outer join, and remove the duplicate rows. You'll get:
    workstation     sum(my_value)     wkstn_name
    ABCD          30          WKSTN 1          
    A123          35          WKSTN 2          
    B456          0          WKSTN 3          
    ????          5          NULL          So the core of the problem is how to get these results from my_tab1 and my_tab2, which is done in sub-query foj above.
    I tried to use self-documenting names in my code. I hope you can understand it.
    I could spend hours explaining different parts of this query in more detail, but I'm sure I'd waste some of that time explaining things you already understand. If you want an explanation of somthing(s) specific, let me know.

Maybe you are looking for
