Update Query Joining Two Tables

What is the sql for updating a table with another table's field value. I accomplished this using a subquery, but the query took forever to run. I was hoping there was a way to accomplish this inner join more efficiently.

One way:
UPDATE TABLEA A
SET (COLUMNA, COLUMNB) = (SELECT COLUMNA, COLUMNB FROM TABLEB B WHERE (A.KEYCOLUMN1 = B.KEYCOLUMN1)
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 'X' FROM TABLEB B WHERE A.KEYCOLUMN1 = B.KEYCOLUMN1);
1. The subquery should join on columns that are indexed. Use EXPLAIN PLAN to look at your query to determine if indexes are being used.
2. The last WHERE clause ensures that you are only updating rows in TABLEA that have data in TABLEB. Without this clause COLUMNA and COLUMNB will be set to NULL if the subquery returns no rows; this will destroy any existing values in these columns.
3. The "SELECT 'X'" in the last WHERE clause (rather than "SELECT (1)" or "SELECT *") tells Oracle that no data needs to be retrieved into buffers but that only the condition needs to be examined.
Good luck!

  • Optimizing the Query  joining two tables multiple times

    Hi all,
    I need to formulate a query where I want to get data from two tables.Here are the table structures and sample data.
    Table1
    id firstname lastname accountnumber
    1 Sridh Peter SP456
    2 Gane San SS667
    3 Sway patel PP345
    Table 2
    id attributename attributevalue
    1 Manager Mike
    1 Lawyer Schwa
    1 Server maneka
    1 location langur
    1 System Novel
    2 Manager kane
    2 lawyer endun
    2 location colrado
    3 server queen
    3 system elanda
    The requirement is I need to generate a report like th follwoing
    Accountnumber firstname lastname manager lawyer System Server location
    SP456 Sridh Peter Mike schwa Novel maneka langur
    SS667 Gane San kane endun colrado
    Now I have done this report using a query where I join table1 and table2 multiple times to get the report's data. And that query only works If the user has all attributes.If any one attribut is missing it wont work.Can some onehelp me with this.
    The query i am using looks like this.
    select a.accountnumber,a.firstname,a.lastname,b.attributevalue,c.attributevalue, d.attributevalue, e.attributevalue,f.attributevalue from table1 a,table2 b where a.id=b.id and a.id=c.id and a.id=d.id and a.id=e.id and a.id=f.id and b.attributename ='manager' and c.attributename ='lawyer' and d.attributename='system' and e.attributename='server' and f.attributename='location'
    this query works well if a user has all attributes ,if any one is missing he is not shown in the report.Can some one suggest me a good way of querying than this.
    The query I am using is also taking lot of time..I think I have explained my question well ,please reply if you have questions.
    Thanks for reading till here patiently,

  • SAP Query - Joining two tables - SQVI, SQ01

    Hi gurus,
    Can anybody send word documentation of joining any two tables. (Variant creation). Simple and easy to understand with screen shots step by step procedure.

    Got the doc from Google.

  • Joining two tables, sql query

    This is a newbie question! I would like to join two tables. Table_1 contains xml stylesheets:
    id stylesheet doc
    1 <xml stylesheet doc A>
    2 <xml stylesheet doc B>
    And Table_2 contains the XML documents that the stylesheets will transform:
    id XML doc
    1 <XML document 1>
    1 <XML document 2>
    1 <XML document 3>
    2 <XML document 4>
    2 <XML document 5>
    I would like <xml stylesheet doc A> to transform only XML doc that have an id of 1, so I tried this sql statement:
    select a.stylesheet_doc ,b.xml_doc from Table_1 a, Table_2 b where a.id=b.id and a.id=1;
    This statement returns the rows I want (stylesheet doc with id equals 1, and xml_doc with id equals 1), but it pairs each xml document with a style sheet.
    stylesheet doc A <XML document 1>
    stylesheet doc A <XML document 2>
    stylesheet doc A <XML document 3>
    My question is, is there a way to have a result that looks like this?
    stylesheet doc A
    <XML document 1>
    <XML document 2>
    <XML document 3>
    That is, is there a way in sql to get rid of duplicate stylesheet doc A?
    I have tried group by and rollup and xmlagg.
    Thank you very, very much for your help.
    Jim

    Hi, Jim,
    Welcome to the forum!
    You just want to display the XML, not actually transform it, right?
    GROUP BY ROLLUP should work, but I find it easier with GROUP BY GROUPING SETS. Here's an example from tables in the scott schema:
    SELECT       CASE
              WHEN  GROUPING (ename) = 1
              THEN  d.dname
           END          AS dname
    ,       e.ename
    FROM       scott.dept     d
    JOIN       scott.emp     e  ON     d.deptno     = e.deptno
    GROUP BY  GROUPING SETS ( (d.dname, e.ename)
                   , (d.dname)
    ORDER BY  d.dname
    ,       ename          NULLS FIRST
    ;Output:
    DNAME          ENAME
    ACCOUNTING
                   CLARK
                   KING
                   MILLER
    RESEARCH
                   ADAMS
                   FORD
                   JONES
                   SCOTT
                   SMITH
    SALES
                   ALLEN
                   BLAKE
                   JAMES
                   MARTIN
                   TURNER

  • Outer join two tables with query search record attached to both tables

    When I create a query with two tables that have query search records attached with outer join, PS seems to do a natural join (cartesian). We are on PT8.48.
    Is there a workaround for this issue. I do not want to remove query search record on either of the tables.
    I am trying to create an Emergency contact report. I am using two tables PS_EMPLOYEES and PS_EMERGENCY_CNTCT. Here is the sql PeopleSoft query generated when I did Left outer Join.
    Query SQL:
    SELECT A.EMPLID, A.NAME, A.ADDRESS1, A.CITY, B.PRIMARY_CONTACT, B.ADDRESS1, B.CITY, B.STATE, B.POSTAL, B.RELATIONSHIP, A.DEPTID, A.JOBCODE, A.COMPANY, A.EMPL_TYPE
    FROM (PS_EMPLOYEES A LEFT OUTER JOIN PS_EMERGENCY_CNTCT B ON A.EMPLID = B.EMPLID ), PS_EMPLMT_SRCH_QRY A1, PS_PERS_SRCH_QRY B1
    WHERE A.EMPLID = A1.EMPLID
    AND A.EMPL_RCD = A1.EMPL_RCD
    AND A1.OPRID = 'SREESR'
    AND (B.EMPLID = B1.EMPLID OR B.EMPLID IS NULL )
    AND B1.OPRID = 'PS'
    Appreciate any help.

    I think there are fixes for this issue in later tools releases (Report ID 1544345000). I'm not sure about 8.48, but you might try the workaround documented in
    E-QR: Left Outer Joins with Security Records are returning unexpected results [ID 651252.1]

  • Joining two tables having no common fields using one select query

    Hi Experts,
    How to join two tables which are NOT having any field in common using only one select query?
    Your help will be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Identify a third table (or more tables) with common fields with your two tables, or change your question either removing JOIN or removing NO COMMON FIELDS, else you wont get many responses and will be left alone in outer space, as suggested by Thomas.
    If you acturally require what you written, better execute two select and merge the two internal tables merging every record from first table with every record of second table, til no more memory is available.

  • How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables ...

    How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables to get an inline view which is used in an update statement?
    O.K. I think I have to explain what I mean:
    When joining two tables which have many entries sometimes it es better not to use an index on the column used as join criteria.
    I have two tables: table A and table B.
    Table A has 4.000.000 entries and table B has 700.000 entries.
    I have a join of both tables with a numeric column as join criteria.
    There is an index on this column in table A.
    So I instead of
      where (A.col = B.col)I want to use
      where (A.col+0 = B.col)in order to prevent Oracle from using the index.
    When I use the join in a select statement it works.
    But when I use the join as inline view in an update statement I get the error ORA-01779.
    When I remove the "+0" the update statement works. (The column col is unique in table B).
    Any ideas why this happens?
    Thank you very much in advance for any help.
    Regards Hartmut

    I think you should post an properly formatted explain plan output using DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY including the "Predicate Information" section below the plan to provide more details regarding your query resp. update statement. Please use the \[code\] and \[code\] tags to enhance readability of the output provided:
    In SQL*Plus:
    SET LINESIZE 130
    EXPLAIN PLAN FOR <your statement>;
    SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY);Usually if you're using the CBO (cost based optimizer) and have reasonable statistics gathered on the database objects used the optimizer should be able to determine if it is better to use the existing index or not.
    Things look different if you don't have statistics, you have outdated/wrong statistics or deliberately still use the RBO (rule based optimizer). In this case you would have to use other means to prevent the index usage, the most obvious would be the already mentioned NO_INDEX or FULL hint.
    But I strongly recommend to check in first place why the optimizer apparently seems to choose an inappropriate index access path.

  • Need help to join two tables using three joins, one of which is a (between) date range.

    I am trying to develop a query in MS Access 2010 to join two tables using three joins, one of which is a (between) date range. The tables are contained in Access. The reason
    the tables are contained in access because they are imported from different ODBC warehouses and the data is formatted for uniformity. I believe this cannot be developed using MS Visual Query Designer. I think writing a query in SQL would be suiting this project.
    ABCPART links to XYZPART. ABCSERIAL links to XYZSERIAL. ABCDATE links to (between) XYZDATE1 and ZYZDATE2.

    Thank you for the looking at the post. The actual table names are rather ambiguous. I renamed them so it would make more sense. I will explain more and give the actual names. What I do not have is the actual data in the table. That is something I don't have
    on this computer. There are no "Null" fields in either of the tables. 
    This table has many orders (MSORDER) that need to match one order (GLORDER) in GLORDR. This is based on MSPART joined to GLPART, MSSERIAL joined to GLSERIAL, and MSOPNDATE joined if it falls between GLSTARTDATE and GLENDDATE.

    Thank you in advance for any advice you can lend.
    I am using this code in my MySQL db to create a view.
    select
        job.id as job_id,
        umr_cost_calculation.plant_name,
        max(umr_cost_calculation.id) as max_id
    from
        job,
        umr_cost_calculation
    where
        job.id = umr_cost_calculation.job_id
    group by job.id , umr_cost_calculation.plant_name
    I did this so I can join two tables and pull in the most current cost data for a specific plant. The report will, at times, show the wrong (older) data. I can re-run the report, filter to just the one job and see again the wrong data. When I add the max_id to the report, it display the id and updates the report with the correct data. It appears that the view was stale and by adding the ID to the report this fixed the issue.
    1) Is this the best way to make this join? I don't see how Crystal supports a subquery to make a join (this is why I used the view).
    2) If I leave the max_id on the report, will this force the view to always update?

    Try:
    Select
    D1.EmpLoginID,
    Count(D1.ID),
    Count(D1.AlarmCode),
    D1.EmpName,
    D1.EmpAddress,
    D2.Db2Count
    FROM DB1.Data D1
    LEFT JOIN (SELECT
    empLoginID, Count(*) as Db2Count
    FROM DB2.ALL_Database
    WHERE site = 'Atlanta'
    GROUP BY empLoginID
    ) D2
    ON D1.EmpLoginID = D2.EmpLoginID
    GROUP BY D1.empLoginID, D1.EmpName, D2.EmpAddress, D2.Db2Count
    Order BY D1.empLoginID ASC

  • How do you join two tables from different Oracle schemas using a subquery

    I am trying to join two tables from different Oracle schemas using a subquery. I can extract data from each of the tables without a problem. However, when I combine the select statements using a subquery I get the Oracle error *'ORA-00936: missing expression'*. Since each SELECT statement executes on its own without error I don't understand what is missing. The result set I am trying to get is to match up the LINE_ID from PDTABLE_12_1 in schema DD_12809 with the MAT_DESCRIPTION from table PDTABLE_201 in schema RA_12809.
    The query is as follows:
    sql = "SELECT [DD_12809].[PDTABLE_12_1].LINE_ID FROM [DD_12809].[PDTABLE_12_1] JOIN " _
    + "(SELECT [RA_12809].[PDTABLE_201].MAT_DESCRIPTION " _
    + "FROM [RA_12809].[PDTABLE_201]) AS FAB " _
    + "ON [DD_12809].[PDTABLE_12_1].PIPING_MATER_CLASS = FAB.PIPING_MATER_CLASS"
    The format of the query is copied from a SQL programming manual.
    I also tried executing the query using a straight JOIN on the two tables but got the same results. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!
    Edited by: user11338343 on Oct 19, 2009 6:55 AM

    I believe you are receiving the error because you are trying to JOIN on a column that doesn't exist. For example you are trying to join on FAB.PIPING_MATER_CLASS but that column does not exist in the subquery.
    If you want to do a straight join without a subquery you could do the following
    SELECT  DD_12809.PDTABLE_12_1.LINE_ID
    ,       FAB.MAT_DESCRIPTION
    FROM    DD_12809.PDTABLE_12_1
    JOIN    RA_12809.PDTABLE_201    AS FAB ON DD_12809.PDTABLE_12_1.PIPING_MATER_CLASS = FAB.PIPING_MATER_CLASS  HTH!

  • Can't  write right sql query by two tables

    Hello
    Everyone,
    I am trying to get a sql query by two tables,
    table:container
    <pre class="jive-pre">
    from_dest_id     number
    ship_from_desc     varchar
    to_dest_id     number
    </pre>
    table: label_fromat (changeless)
    <pre class="jive-pre">
    SORT_ORDER     number
    PREFIX     varchar2
    VARIABLE_NAME varchar2
    SUFFIX varchar2
    LF_COMMENT varchar2
    </pre>
    the sql which i need is
    a. table CONTAINER 's each column should have LABLE_FORMAT 's PREFIX before and SUFFIX back ,and these columns is connected
    example : the query output should be like this :
    <pre class="jive-pre">
    PREFIX||from_dest_id||SUFFIX ||PREFIX||ship_from_desc||SUFFIX ||PREFIX|| to_dest_id||SUFFIX
    </pre>
    every PREFIX and SUFFIX are come from LABEL_FORMAT's column VARIABLE_NAME (they are different)
    column SORT_ORDER decide the sequence, for the example above: Column from_dest_id order is 1, ship_from_desc is 2,to_dest_id is 3
    b. table LABEL_FORMAT's column VARIABLE_NAME have values ('from_dest_id','ship_from_desc','to_dest_id')
    If table CONTAINER only have one record i can do it myself,
    But actually it is more than one record,I do not know how to do
    May be this should be used PL/SQL,or a Function ,Cursor ,Procedure
    I am not good at these
    Any tips will be very helpful for me
    Thanks

    Hi, Saven,
    Presenting data from multiple rows as a single string is called String Aggregation . This page:
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/StringAggregationTechniques.php
    shows many ways to do it, suited to different requirements, and different versions of Oracle.
    In Oracle 10 (and up) you can do this:
    SELECT     REPLACE ( SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH ( f.prefix || ' '
                                   || CASE  f.variable_name
                                        WHEN 'FROM_DEST_ID'
                                       THEN  from_dest_id
                                       WHEN 'SHIP_FROM_DESC'
                                       THEN  ship_from_desc
                                       WHEN 'TO_DEST_ID'
                                       THEN  to_dest_id
                                      END
                                   || ' '
                                   || f.suffix
                               , '~?'
              , '~?'
              )     AS output_txt
    FROM          container     c
    CROSS JOIN     label_format     f
    WHERE          CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF     = 1
    START WITH     f.sort_order     = 1
    CONNECT BY     f.sort_order     = PRIOR f.sort_order + 1
         AND     c.from_dest_id     = PRIOR c.from_dest_id
    saven wrote:If table CONTAINER only have one record i can do it myself,
    But actually it is more than one record,I do not know how to do In that case, why did you post an example that only has one row in container?
    The query above assumes
    something in container (I used from_dest_id in the example above) is unique,
    you don't mind having a space after prefix and before from_dest_id,
    you want one row of output for every row in container, and
    you can identify some string ('~?' in the example above) that never occurs in the concatenated data.

  • Joining two tables in PL/SQL

    Hi there,
    I have two problems...first being:
    We are trying to run a sub-query within a WHERE/AND clause. I am not sure on the correct syntax on how to run the sub-query as denoted in the code below. Secondly I am trying to join two tables with a common column name (ie: CIPIDI_NR). Considering I cant fix the first problem I cant test out the sub-query. So any help on either would be grateful. Cheers
    Select *
    from TBL_CIPIDI
         WHERE CIPIDI_NR like nvl ('in_case_number%', CIPIDI_NR)
    AND CIPIDI_NAME like nvl ('in_case_name%', CIPIDI_NAME)
    AND COST_CENTRE LIKE NVL ('in_cost_centre%', COST_CENTRE)
    AND CIPIDI_DESCRIPTION like nvl ('in_description%', CIPIDI_DESCRIPTION)
    AND CLAIMANT_NAME LIKE NVL ('in_claimant%', CLAIMANT_NAME)
    AND REQUESTOR LIKE NVL ('in_requestor%', REQUESTOR)
    AND PROJECT_MANAGER LIKE NVL ('in_project_manager%', PROJECT_MANAGER)
    AND TEAM_LEADER LIKE NVL ('in_team_leader%', TEAM_LEADER)
         AND ********RUN THE QUERY BELOW************
    SELECT C1.CIPIDI_NR, C2.CIPIDI_NR
    from TBL_TEAM_MEMBERS C1, TBL_CIPIDI C2
         WHERE C1.CIPIDI_NR = C2.CIPIDI_NR
         AND TEAM_MEM_NAME LIKE NVL ('in_team_mem_name%', TEAM_MEM_NAME)
    );

    You really need to start providing create table and insert statements for tables and sample data for testing, the results that you want based on that data in order to clarify the problem, your Oracle version, and a copy and paste of an attempted run of your code, complete with any error messages received. The following is my best guess at what you might be looking for.
    Select *
    from   TBL_TEAM_MEMBERS C1, TBL_CIPIDI C2
    WHERE  C1.CIPIDI_NR = C2.CIPIDI_NR
    AND    c1.CIPIDI_NR          like nvl (in_case_number     || '%', c1.CIPIDI_NR)
    AND    c1.CIPIDI_NAME        like nvl (in_case_name       || '%', c1.CIPIDI_NAME)
    AND    c1.COST_CENTRE        LIKE NVL (in_cost_centre     || '%', c1.COST_CENTRE)
    AND    c1.CIPIDI_DESCRIPTION like nvl (in_description     || '%', c1.CIPIDI_DESCRIPTION)
    AND    c1.CLAIMANT_NAME      LIKE NVL (in_claimant        || '%', c1.CLAIMANT_NAME)
    AND    c1.REQUESTOR          LIKE NVL (in_requestor       || '%', c1.REQUESTOR)
    AND    c1.PROJECT_MANAGER    LIKE NVL (in_project_manager || '%', c1.PROJECT_MANAGER)
    AND    c1.TEAM_LEADER        LIKE NVL (in_team_leader     || '%', c1.TEAM_LEADER)
    AND    TEAM_MEM_NAME         LIKE NVL (in_team_mem_name   || '%', TEAM_MEM_NAME);

  • Join two table in different instance

    Hi,
    I have two table in different instance .

    If I want to join two table together .
    I want to search the number of record in IMEI that have N_SIM_STATE =1 in RCA_SMART_CARD .
    The MSISDN in IMEI is equal to C_SIM_MSISDN in RCA_SMART_CARD .
    How can I do and what is the sql statment ??
    Please advice .

    First you need to decide, from where you want to execute the query.
    Let us assume it is instance A(as per your example).
    Then what you need to do is:
    1.     Create database link to instance B
    *[url http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10g/server.101/b10759/statements_5005.htm]Here* is the semantics.
    2.     After creating the database link to instance B, you can achieve the result set by running the below query:
            SQL> select count(*) from IMEI t1 join RCA_SMART_CARD@<db_link_name> t2 on t1.MSISDN = t2.C_SIM_MSISDN where t2.N_SIM_STATE = 1
            Hope it helps!
