Update one column while getting the value in another column

Is it possible to in one single SQL statement update two columns in a table while at the same time obtaining the value of another column, on the same row, in the same table, and independently (that is, the update of the columns has nothing to do with the data that I want from another column)*?* Of course, I can do this in two operations, one being a "select" and the other one being an "update", but since I am in the same table and even on the same row, is it really necessary to make TWO database calls? That's why I want to combine the the two SQL-statements, for reasons of presumed effiency.

At least not in terms of SQL.
JDBC requires a 'statement' but in SQL (depending on the data source) that can include multiple statements. An obvious example of this is a stored proc but there are other ways as well.

I want to remove the promodesc and the sum(t.salesamt) and add Promotion1,Promotion2,Promotion3 as three new columns and their respective sum(t.salesamt) as their data value.
I am thinking about using three separate case statements to achieve this...
sum( case when promocode='p12' then t.salesamt end) Promotion 1
Please let me know if there is any other optimal way to achieve this.
Thank you!

Hi,
What you want is called a Pivot. Using CASE expressions (like you described) is one common way to do pivots. If you're using Oracle 11.1 (or higher) then you'd probably want to use the SELECT ... PIVOT feature instead. See the SQL Language manual
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/statements_10002.htm#sthref6809
and the forum FAQ
https://forums.oracle.com/message/9362005
for details and examples.
If you get stuck, post your best attempt, along with CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for a little sample data, and the results you want from that data (if different from what you've already posted).
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (for example, 11.2.0.2.0).

Conditionally Formatting One Column Based On The Value of Another Column

I have the following requirement:
I have 2 columns in a report showing Actual Sales & Budget Sales each year. I am using a bar chart to show the different values for these 2 columns.
I need to conditionally format the column "Actual Sales" so that if it is less than the "Budget Sales" it will appear in red, and green if "Actual Sales" is greater than "Budget Sales." So in a nutshell,
CASE WHEN "Actual Sales" < "Budget Sales" THEN
RED
ELSE
GREEN
END
Thoughts anyone?

CASE WHEN (COL1 - COL2) < 0 then Red else Green end

Set the css style of text in a column according to the value of another col

I'd like to set the css style of text in a column according to the value of another column. Each field may end up with a different style of text as a result, for instance.
Any ideas? I looked thru the forums but couldn't find anything.
Thanks,
Linda

Does the class=t7Header make it into the rendered HTML?
---The text "class="tHeader" does not show but the other text is rendered using the style t7Header as defined in the stylesheet! Exactly what I wanted.
You might want to use a div or a span instead of a p.
---Yes -
What's very cool is we can create a display column that is dynamically filled with the html and style wrappers based on a lookup to see what style should be applied according to the actual data value. This is critical as our tables are all dynamic so I can't depend on using the additional APEX methods to control the display of a column (as the # of columns in the view vary from instance to instance) and I did not want the display specs to muddy up my SQL queries.
I wonder why this is not well documented. It is so easy!
Thanks again for your help.

How can I get the value of "Warehose" column in a form

How can I get the value of "Warehouse" column in the form below (I mean what table that contain this value):
Production Supervisor >> Batches >> (Button) Material Details >> (Button) Line Allocations
Well, for more clearly! My problem is I must have the Unit Cost of Items, so I've got it in the cm_cmpt_dtl (table), but if I want to, I must create a relation that require 2 filed, they're Item_ID and Whse_Code.
There's no problem with Item_ID, but Whse_Code seem to be the Mission Impossible (hix, I hate that film!!!!)
I wonder if It was right to post this topic here. But anyway I just post my question here, hope I could get some help.

wow, many, many, many.... and many thanks!
Just add a tiny modify to check out the Batch_type
doc_id = (select batch_id from gme_batch_header where batch_no='&batch_number' and batch_type = 0)
Because the batch_no can be duplicated as we also create Batch and Filrm Planned Order.
Many thanks for your support!

Get the value from another node.

Hi, expert
In the component BT131I_SLS , I create a enhanced attribute in the node: BT131I_SLS/Details BTADMINI
Then i define the GET-V method to create a search help for the attribute.
Now , i want to pass a BP number to the search help function to filter the data.
We need to get the BP number as below:
When create a order, we input the product id ,
then there will be a popup window , we can choose a vendor in the window.
The vendor number is the value which we want to pass to the search help.
How can i do that ?
Thanks.

How to get the values in separate columns

Hello Everyone
I am new to Bex, i have the sales data of 2008,2009,2010. now i have to display the sales order(key figure) for 2008,2009,2010 in separate columns for each customer(dimension) in a single report , can any one help me how to get this done in bex.
Thanks

Hi ,
You can achieve this either creating New Selections or Restricted Key Figures.
Right click on the structute>>>> New selcection>>> drag the year to right [ Right Click on it >>restrict it with 2008}>>>Drag the respected Key figure.
So u will get the values 2008 in seperate column.
COpy the New Selecten that u created and paste on the structure , chage the descriprion and year to 2009.
do the same for 2010.
Note:you can also achieve this by creating variable offsets.Check the following link

Variable type Hierarchy, how to get the value from another similar variable

Hi.
We have created a variable, type hierarchy (using ORGEH hierarchy in HR based on 0ORGUNIT). Let's call this VAR1. We want to fill this with an User Exit, beacuse we want VAR1 to have the value from another variable, VAR2, which is also type hierarchy (and based on the same characteristic).
However, when we program this user exit and use the VAR1 afterwards, it just behaves as if we have a single characteristic value and not a node value. As a result, we just get posts which do have the 'parent itself' as characteristic value, and none of the subnodes... Any hints as to what we can do in our User exit to get the value passed over from VAR2 to VAR1 as a node value? Is there any spesific syntax to be used here that we are missing? ( The VAR1 and VAR2 are both defined as hierarchy variables, we have double checked...).

Getting the values in separate columns

Hi Rohit,
To do that you should have calyear in dimennsion, if so simple you can do it else do the following.
Edit your cube add calyear in time dimension and map it accordingly.
Go To Bex Designer :
Select required free char, row and column (KF),
Drag and drop calyear on top of kf (Extreem top to KF).
when you run your query it will display all the value according to relavant year.
Note : Suppose you have 4kf in your colum and having three years data in the target then there will be 12 columns will be displayed in report, ie number of kf X number of year
So, for better view or perfomance please do not forget to give restriction of year by giving variable to user.
Thanks

Hi gayathriguru,
You just need to correct the name for Languageknown while inserting object into array collection.
ac.addItem({Name:NameInput.text, Age:AgeInput.text,Sex:s ,Languagesknown:l});
You have by mistaken written it as Languagesknown instead of Languageknown. (<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="Languageknown" headerText="Languageknown"/>)
Thanks and Regards

Get Min value and another column value from the same row

hi all - for each customer and product, I need to grab the row that has the min value for field Value1. I could've just done group by on customer and product and min on Value1, but I also need to grab Vlaue2 from the same row where the minimum value for
Value1 lies.
DECLARE @Temp TABLE (CustomerID INT, ProductID VARCHAR(10), Trans_Date Date, Value1 INT, Value2 INT)
INSERT INTO @Temp VALUES (123, 'ABC', '1/1/2013', 10, 100)
INSERT INTO @Temp VALUES (456, 'ASD', '1/1/2013', 40, 500)
INSERT INTO @Temp VALUES (456, 'ASD', '2/1/2013', 90, 700)
INSERT INTO @Temp VALUES (123, 'ABC', '2/1/2013', 20, 700)
SELECT * FROM @Temp
The output should be
123, ABC, 10, 100
456, ASD, 40, 500
I know that I can just join the table to itself and get the desired output but I am dealing with a table that has millions of rows and I was hoping there is more efficient way to do this. any help would be highly appreciated...

Here is a correction on your DDL to make it into nearly valid table.
CREATE TABLE Sales
(customer_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
product_id CHAR(10) NOT NULL,
transaction_date DATE NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (customer_id, product_id, transaction_date),
value1 INTEGER NOT NULL,
value2 INTEGER NOT NULL);
Here is the current syntax for insertion:
INSERT INTO Sales
VALUES (123, 'abc', '2013-01-01', 10, 100),
(456, 'asd', '2013-01-01', 40, 500),
(456, 'asd', '2013-02-01', 90, 700),
(123, 'abc', '2013-02-01', 20, 700);
WITH
X
AS
(SELECT customer_id, product_id, transaction_date, value1, value2,
MIN(value1) OVER () AS value1_min
FROM Sales)
SELECT X.*
FROM X
WHERE X.value1_min = X.value1;
