Update with case statement

Hello,
I want to use case in update statement.
For example I have a table whose name is Item. There are 20 fields in this table. StockHoldType, Quantity and Amount are three of them.
I want to update quantity or amount fields according to stockholdtype fields value. If stockholdtype is 1 , I will update quantity field,
if stockholdtype field is 2 I will update amount field.
How can I do this?

upadte table_name
set Quantity = decode(stockholdtype,1,+new_value+,quantity),
amount = decode(stockholdtype,2,+new_value+,amount)
where stockholdtype in (1,2)

Update with case statement problem.

Hi,
I have this statement
update tab_tr set col_rate =
case
when col_ern_type in ('031','035','036') then (1.5 * col_rate)
when col_ern_type in ('041','045','046') then (2 * col_rate)
end;this statement updated some 2 million rows in the table tab_tr. But the total count of rows for col_ern_type in ('031','035','036', '041','045','046') yeild only around 222642 rows.
select count(*) from tab_tr where col_ern_type in ('031','035','036', '041','045','046'); --> 222642 rowswhat is the problem with the above update statement.
Thank you,

For example, which rows do you think this should update?
UPDATE tab_tr
SET     col_rate = 100;It would update all rows, of course.
How about this statement?
UPDATE tab_tr
SET     col_rate = column_x;Will it only change the rows where column_x are a certain value, or not NULL, or in any way depend on column_x? No, of course not. It will update all rows.
How about this statement?
UPDATE tab_tr
SET     col_rate = function_y (col_ern_type);Will it only change the rows where the fucntion returns a certain value? Will it depend on the value in col_ern_type? No, of course not. It calls the function for each row, and whatever the function returns (even if the function returns NULL), that's what goes into col_rate on each row.
A CASE expression is just something that you can substitute in place of any other expression, such as the literal 100, or the column column_x, or the function function_y in the statements above. Naturally, the value that gets put into col_rate will depend on what the CASE expression returns, but the behavior of the UPDATE statement as a whole will not.

11g outer join with case statement - strange results.

Hello All,
I am experiencing a strange issues in 11g while using case statement.
I am not able to reproduce this using sample data. Not sure what is wrong.
I am not narrowing it to say the usage of case statemnt is giving wrong results, but that is my observation when I am doing trail and error testing.
Here are the details.

Are there any other viable solutions?
I appreciate the help.

Using Presentation variables..along with case statements..

Hi All.
I have a issue using presentation variable along with CASE statements. My approach is
1) I have a dashboard prompt, which is being set as Presentation variable.
Based on the value selected in prompt, for ex the values of prompt can be 'ABC' and 'DEF'.
I have a calculated column, the calculation goes this way...
The forumal is
CASE WHEN @{Presentation Variable Name} = 'ABC' THEN xxxxxxxxxx ELSE IF @{Presentation Variable Name} = 'DEF' END. It gives error of "no table being referenced"..
Is this is the right approach??
Can i get the values of variable in a column formula, so that a column can have values selected in prompt?
Can anybody pls help me here..
Thanks in advance...

Hi
Thanks for the quick response..
I agree to ur point..
But the requirement is
Based on the value of the prompt I need to switch the calculation in one of the formula area of one column..
If Prompt value is ABC then one kind of calculation in Fx and If the prompt value is DEF then one kind of calculation in the same Fx..
How can I acheive this?
Thanks in advance..

Update using CASE statement

Hi
I have two tables
employee
empid empname empaddress valid
Employeedetails
empid empname manager
I would like to validate empname from both the tables using case statement and empid as join and update 'valid' column in employee table to y/n.
Please help me with the syntax

Hi,
Depending on your requirements:
UPDATE     employee e
SET     valid       = (
                 SELECT CASE
                                 WHEN COUNT (*) = 0
                       THEN 'n'
                       ELSE      'y'
                             END
                 FROM    employeedetails
                 WHERE   empname     = e.empname
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
If you're asking about a DML statement, such as UPDATE, the sample data will be the contents of the table(s) before the DML, and the results will be state of the changed table(s) when everything is finished.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

Hello All, I have been using Crystal & Business Objects for a few months now and have figured out quite a bit on my own. This is the first real time I have struggled with something and while I could do this as a Formula Field I would like to know how to do this as a SQL Expression. Basically I want to create a SQL Expression that uses a CASE statement but I wanted to make the code a little more efficient and employ a variable to hold a string and then use the variable in the CASE statement. The expression editor accepts the CASE statement OK but I don't know how to declare the variable. Please assist with the syntax?
This is what I have:
CASE
   WHEN u201CDatabaseu201D.u201DFieldu201D = u2018Hu2019 THEN u2018Hedgeu2019
   WHEN u201CDatabaseu201D.u201DFieldu201D = u2018Pu2019 THEN u2018PVIu2019
   ELSE u2018Noneu2019
END
This is what I want:
DECLARE strVar AS VARCHAR(25)
strVar = u201CDatabaseu201D.u201DFieldu201D
CASE
   WHEN strVar = u2018Hu2019 THEN u2018Hedgeu2019
   WHEN strVar = u2018Pu2019 THEN u2018PVIu2019
   ELSE u2018Noneu2019
END

Hi Todd,
Please use the following for loop; your problem will be solved.
Local StringVar str := "";
Local NumberVar strLen := Length ({Database.Field});
Local NumberVar i;
For i := 1 To strLen Do
       if {Database.Field} <i> = "H" then str := "Hedge"
        else if {Database.Field} <i> = "P" then str := "PVI"
        else str := "None"; exit for
str
Let me know once done!
Thank you,
Ashok

Thank you in advancewith Oracle strings are enclosed in single quote marks
so Oracle is confused & unhappy with line below
customer_no =''
since CUSTOMEER_NO is a NUMBER
why do you compare number to a string?

Handling Exceptions with case statement - convert Exception to int value

Hi,
I'm developing a web app, with servlets.
I'm catching Exceptions in my servlets, for example I would like a user to insert data into a form. If the data cannot be converted into a integer value a java.lang.NumberormatException is thrown.
I would like to catch this and then create a message giving a more specific clue to what happened. Unfortunatly it's possible that other exceptions could be caught, so I want to be able to check which type of Exception has been caught.
I started writing a getErrorMessage(int Code) class. The method has a case statement which just checks the code and return the appropriate message.
This worked well for SQL exceptions as they provide a getErrorCode method. But I was wondering is there any way to convert other Exceptions such as
java.lang.NumberormatException into an integer value?
Cheers

Exceptions have their types (classes) and messages (and maybe an embedded exception). That is, they have much richer internal status then an integer.
Why should they be "converted" to integers?

How to use Substring function with Case statement.

Hello Everyone,
I have one requirement where I have to use substring function on the field for report criteria.
E.G.
I have Branch Name Field where I have all branch names information, Now some of the branch names are too big with some extension after the name .
now i want to substing it but the character length varies for each branch.
so is there any way where we can use case statement where we can define that if branch name character are exceeding some value then substing it with this length.

Try something like this:
CASE WHEN LENGTH(tablename.Branch_Name) > n THEN SUBSTRING(...) ELSE tablename.Branch_Name END
where n is the number of characters you want to start the break.

Issue with case statement

100*ifnull(x,1)/case when ifnull(yagox,1)=0 then 1 else yagox end)
based on above condition my result should be like below
99.8
101.1
99.4
97.7
Current displaying result like below
99.8
1,22,345,000
99.4
97.7
2,34,567,400
i need to display those two values also in %
it may be happen denominater(yagox value is 1)
could please give the proper case statement for resolving the issue

Dear betham,
welcome to the forum, could you please share the table structure and some sample data and also what your select statement is. This will help people come up with solution faster and also it would avoid going in loops.

CLOB with case statement not working getting error

Can anyone help on this
I write this sql
select Case when to_clob(PROPERTY) = 'is_intradesk=Y' then 'Internal' end
from JPM_CP;
Where PROPERTY column is clob column and its giving the error "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB"
Is it not possible to use clob columns with case or decode !

Its working but it does not fulfill my purpose
In you answer it is looking for position right! means, does the column contain the value('Intradesk=Y' ) or not. means
I am looking for exact match with CLOB column values, that is Clob column(PROPERTY) contains the exact value that value which I am comparing with i.e 'Intradesk=Y'
I need this
select * from table where clob_column = 'value' (exact).

Dear All,
I got stuck with the following statement. The error "ORA-00904: "DOC"."CRED_RPT_RCPT_IND": invalid identifier" seems make no sense. I checked the column and it looks right to me. Can someone help? Thanks!

Joel,
This is statement that I got an error on. The invalid character error was on line 9:
and doc.CRED_RPT_RCPT_IND='Y'
I do not see any invalid character on this line. So, I am stuck now.
update zz_supplier_documentation A

Query tuning - update with join statement

Hi,
I have 2 tables (table1 and table 2) with following condition:
TABLE 1 - Need to selection a column say staus ! = 'C'
join emp_id and project_id of TABLE1 and TABLE2
From join I am selecting minimun and maximum of TABLE2.salary and updating TABLE3 respective column.
Now as per requirement I have to update required column on TABLE2.EMP_ID = TABLE3.EMP_ID
Following is the query I have written,
update TABLE3 T3
set (T3.MIN_salary, T3.MAX_salary) = (
select min(c.salary), max(c.salary)
from TABLE2 t2, TABLE1 t1
where t2.emp_id = t1.emp_id
and t2.project_id = t1.project_id
and t1.status != 'C'
and t2.emp_id = t3.emp_id)
The above query takes 7 min to update some 8 lakhs records. Can you please suggest some other optimized method to do so?
Thanks in advance
Sandeep
