Update With Multiple Joins

I have an update to perform for some 30,000 records. Table POR has POR.LOINC_CODE values that are null and I need to update them to the values of table MACL MACL.CODE_LINK_VALUE. I have the Select query written, but need some help on the update query using por.observation_code on a join to perform the update.
Thanks in advance

Yes that is correct, I came up with the following in my development environment which work fine on 14 rows, I am just concerned on the live DB with 30,000 plus.

Update with Outer Join, round 2

Thanks for those of you who helped me out on the first one (I never thought that you could use a one-row SELECT like that).
However, here is a new version of my problem:
I have three tables.
Table_1 has a column that needs to be updated based on values in Table_2 and Table_3.
Both Table_1 and Table_2 have values used to determine which Table_3 row to use.
However, not every Table_1 row has a corresponding Table_3 row, in which case the Table_3 value to use is assumed to be 1.
The tables and corresponding columns are:
TABLE_1
value_1 - the value to be updated
key_2 - a pointer to TABLE_2
key_3a - a pointer to TABLE_3, or a dummy value if there is no corresponding TABLE_3 record
TABLE_2
key_2 - the primary key
key_3b - a secondary pointer to TABLE_3
value_2 - a value to be used in calculating TABLE_1.value_1
TABLE_3
key_3a - the first part of the unique key
ley_3b - the second part of the unique key
value_3 - a value to be used in calculating TABLE_1.value_1
If there is a row in table_3 that matches the table_1.key_3a and table_2.key_3b values (where table_2.key_2 = table_1.key_2):
set table_1.value_1 = table_2.value_2 * table_3.value_3
If there is no such row in table_3:
set table_1.value_1 = table_2.value_2
I want to do something like this:
UPDATE table_1 t1
SET value_1 =
SELECT t2.value_2 * NVL(t3.value_3, 1)
FROM table_2 t2
LEFT JOIN table_3 t3
ON (t3.key_3b = t2.key_3b and t3.key_3a = t1.key_3a)
WHERE t2.key_2 = t1.key_2
However, Oracle does not allow t1 to be referenced in the ON clause of the outer join.
(Assume that every key_2 value in table_1 is in table_2 as well - it is only the key_3 value that can be a dummy.)
If I move "t3.key_3 = t1.key_3" to the WHERE clause, then t1.value_1 is null for rows without the corresponding table_3 value.
I can do it with a clone of table_1 using ROWIDs:
UPDATE table_1 t1
SET value_1 =
SELECT t2.value_2 * NVL(t3.value_3, 1)
FROM table_1 t1a
JOIN table_2 t2
ON t2.key_2 = t1a.key_2
LEFT JOIN table_3 t3
ON (t3.key_3b = t2.key_3b and t3.key_3a = t1a.key_3a)
WHERE t1a.row_id = t1.row_id
However, is there an easier way to do this using ANSI joins (i.e. without (+) syntax)?
I have this feeling I am missing something reasonably obvious here.

I have this feeling I am missing something reasonably obvious here.You might want to refer to my post in your original thread how to use join views in updates. You can use ANSI join syntax there, too:
Re: Update with Outer Join
You would end up with something like this (note: untested):
UPDATE
SELECT t1.value_1, t2.value_2 * NVL(t3.value_3, 1) as new_val
FROM table_1 t1
INNER JOIN table_2 t2 ON (t2.key_2 = t1.key_2)
LEFT JOIN table_3 t3
ON (t3.key_3b = t2.key_3b and t3.key_3a = t1.key_3a)
SET value_1 = new_val;And again the same restrictions regarding key-preserved tables apply as described in the post referred to.

How to refresh a table with multiple joins

Hi,
First at all, I'm newby in ADF, and my english is no so good, sorry for that...
I'm using JDeveloper 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3.0). I have a table created from a view object that have multiple joins with other entities. When I insert a new row programmatically in one of the entities of the joins (not in the entitiy of the view object itself), the new row is created in the database correctly but the table don't show it. What can I do to refresh the table to see the new row created?
Thanks in advance!

You have to update the iterator the table is based on for the ui last. You do that by executing the query on the iterator again.

Oracle hangs on query with multiple joins

To test the sotftware from the LMS-vendor that are out partners we use virtual machines where we install Windows 2003 servers and Oracle XE
While we were testing the software I've found that a particular query with multiple unions causes the CPU of the virtual machine totally claimed by oracle
The query causes oracle to hang.
I've found that the subcomponents of the query all return 0 rows (and response all immediately) combined into a query with at least 2 unions the query hangs the system
I'm not familiar with with Database Management at all
I've read something about SGA and PGA that could be the issue and tried to increase the target for both but it doesn't seem to do anything
Some characterics
Target Current

sort_area_size 65536
shared_pool_reserved_size 5452595 TRUE size in bytes of reserved area of shared pool

What other parameters are important? How could I get a good picture to see what's really going on?
Some pointers, help would be appreciated.

Remco

Performance Issue with Multiple Joins :-)

Hi there! I have a dilemma over using multiple joins...and I am not sure whether there is any alternative to this. Please help me out if you can..
I have a table DATA having 100 columns and 2 million records and I have another metadata table Code_Mappings. The issue is with migration of this data from upstreams to downstreams.
Columns of DATA table is
a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h.......ca.cb.cc.cd.....dz.
Code_Mappings table is
Source_code |Target code | category
The problem arises when I join the metadata table for multiple joins..
Around 75 columns out of 100 are category questions i.e I need to replace all Source codes in the data of those category columns with target codes WRT categories..
Suppose A, C,D,I,J,K,L,W,X,Z,AA,BH are country category.
My query to fetch data from DATA for column A would be
Select decode(d.A, cm.source_code,cm.target_code,d.A) from DATA D,Code_Mappings CM where cm.category like 'country' and d.A=cm.source_code;
In the similar way, I may have to join the same table for category 'country' for n no of columns if those columns have category as 'country'.
Is there a alternative to use this table once and use the decode, mapping logic multiple times on columns..? Please let me know if there is anyways I can do it so that performance is enhanced in a significant manner.
Another Issue is:
Whenever the Column value is some junk, that record doesnt get fetched. In the above query, you can see that where clause has a condition of "d.A=cm.source_code" which not only filters out these required records but also avoids cartesian product.
The basic requirement is all records should get fetched. I do not want to filter out anything.
Please help me out.
Thanks

1) I'm not a JD Edwards person, but I would wager that if you're to the point where you have consolidated all the schemas to a single instance that it would be possible and preferrable to consolidate everything further into a single schema. I have to believe that JD Edwards provides tools to restrict what bits a particular branch can see without requiring separate instances.
2) What data are you accessing exactly? Are you always accessing data for a particular branch? Or do you need information from every branch?
3) Is your application logging in as a single user? Or will there be 1 application user for every JD Edwards schema?
4) Are you deploying your PL/SQL into 10-20 different schemas? Or into just 1?
Whether or not you are explicitly using the schema name, Oracle will have to do a hard parse of every logically distinct SQL statement. Two SQL statements that access different tables that happen to share the same name are logically distinct, so your shared pool will end up with 10-20 copies of the "SELECT * FROM <<some table name>>" SQL statement if it is executed against every instance of <<some table name>>.
The question may be whether it is better to explicitly provide the schema name or to rely on synonyms. You generate the same number of hard parses either way, but explicit schema names may improve latch contention during parses if Oracle has to do a lot of synonym resolution. Not many people/ applications are really hurt by this latch contention, though, so it is very hard to say whether this is a legitimate concern.

Update with Outer Join

Is it possible to do an update that involves an outer join on the table being updated?
Here's what I mean - currently, I have something like:
UPDATE table_1 t1
SET col_1 =
SELECT t2.col_2
FROM table_2 t2
WHERE t2.t1_key = t1.t1_key
WHERE EXISTS
SELECT t2.*
FROM table_2 t2
WHERE t2.t1_key = t1.t1_key
UPDATE table_1 t1
SET col_1 = 0
WHERE NOT EXISTS
SELECT t2.*
FROM table_2 t2
WHERE t2.t1_key = t1.t1_key
Yes, I could do set all of the table_1.col_1 values = 0 first, and then do the first update, but it is inefficient given the number of records in the table that would be updated twice.
Is there a way of combining these two updates into a single update statement?

You could simply use your first update and omit the WHERE EXISTS clause since you want to update all the rows in table_1 anyway.
If the subquery finds a match, it will update with the selected value. Normally, a non-match would set the column to a null but you can solve that with NVL:
SQL> select * from table_1;
              T1_KEY                COL_1

Problem in Data updation with multiple windows in JSF

Hi,
I am facing a problem whitle working in JSF. As per my project scenario I have a list page which shows list of entities. I can click on the id of the entity and open a new window containing the details of that particular entity. In that perticular window I have option to update the details of the entity. I can open as many windows as I wish (Every window opens the same JSP Page) and can update them at the same time.
If I open 3 windows containing details of 3 entities and update them one by one by clicking on edit button and then update button, it will work fine for all 3 windows. But if I click edit in all 3 windows simultaneously then click update on each of them it will work fine for the first updated entity but for the next windows I am getting the same object as the object is not getting updated with new data in the request for particular entity.
Can anyone please suggest me any solution.

Hi Deepak,
Good to hear that your first problem is solved. For the problem you are currently facing now, when ever some inbound request is stuck in either waiting or partial state any sync that you do from the client is useless because middleware doesn't accept any further inbound requests until and unless the previous requests which got stuck in either partial or waiting state move to either finished or ignore or error state.
This problem could happen because of many reasons. One reason could be either that particular synbo is not active. If it is active and still the requests are stuck in partial state then the problem could be with middleware system i mean because of heavy load it will take some time to process the request or if the system goes down in middle of processing then it doesn't restart processing.
So i would like you to check if all MAM syncbo's are active (status should be green). If you are sure that middleware system is also working fine then move that request to ignore state and then do a sync from client and check if the middleware processes the new requests.
Even if the new requests are stuck in partial state then the only solution could be to reinstall the application on middleware.
Regards,
Siva.

Need help with update statement with multiple joins

I've got the following select statement that is pulling 29 records:
SELECT

PPA.SEGMENT1,
peia.expenditure_item_id,
peia.expenditure_type,
pec.expenditure_comment
FROM PA.PA_PROJECTS_ALL PPA,

peia.expenditure_type = 'PAYROLL' and
peia.project_id = ppa.project_id and

I need to update the pec.expenditure_comments to a static field for those 29 records. I assume I should start with the following, but not sure how to complete the where:
update
pa.pa_expenditure_comments pec
set pec.expenditure_comment = 'REFERENCE HD#728'
where

INSERT or UPDATE with multiple rows

Hi there!
I want to ask what I should do in the following case: I have to handle mutliple rows of data to insert OR to update into the database.
The first question is about how to decide whether I should take INSERT or UPDATE. I read here in the forum that I could take a SELECT-statement before, and, if it isn't null, I could update the resultset..if it is null I can make an INSERT-statement.
But now I a have multiple rows to update or to insert which I want to handle as a transaction (with a batch), so I don't want to check each row the way I described above. Does anyone has a hint ?
Thanks a lot in advance.

This is not a problem with java but rather a problem
with databases in general. The solution generally
depends on the data that is being operated on.
If there is a primary key involved, and most records
were expected to NOT be in the database, then you
could just insert them in blocks (transaction/batch).
Each block would fail when a primary key duplicate.
Then you can process each block as individual
l statements. The ones that fail are done as
inserts.
The reverse of the above is used if you expect most
records to be in the database. Do updates and the
break out the blocks with failures to locate the
inserts.
Keep in mind that queries for keys probably will be
faster, but that requires that your keys are ordered.
If you keys are ordered then you can get a range from
the initial data. Use that to query the database for
keys between that range (only return the keys.)
Using the returned keys you can decide whether each
h record needs to be an update or insert (presort the
data into each group and batch each group for more
speed.)
If the data is really mixed and the database supports
it then you can write a stored proc (MySQL does not)
which decides whether an insert/update is needed.
Finally if you have large amounts of data, bulk
operations especially inserts are better done with
tools supplied by the database vendor. Instead of
using JDBC to do the insert/updates you write the
output to a file and pass the file to the tool. You
might use JDBC (again with the ordered key query) to
decide which operation to do. Although faster for
large sets this is problematic due to the error
handling that you have to add.
Thanks for this, jschell. I look for your answers, because they're on the money and written well. I learn a lot from them. - MOD

Sql query with multiple joins to same table

I have to write a query for a client to display business officers' names and title along with the business name
The table looks like this
AcctNumber
OfficerTitle
OfficerName
RecKey
90% of the businesses have exactly 4 officer records, although some have less and some have more.
There is a separate table that has the AcctNumber, BusinessName about 30 other fields that I don’t need
An individual account can have 30 or 40 records on the other table.
The client wants to display 1 record per account.
Initially I wrote a query to join the table to itself:
Select A.OfficerTtitle, A.OfficerName, B.OfficerTitle, B.OfficerName, C.OfficerTtitle, C.OfficerName, D.OfficerTitle, D.OfficerName where A.AcctNumber = B.AcctNumber and A.AcctNumber = C.AcctNumber and A.AcctNumber = D.AcctNumber
This returned tons of duplicate rows for each account ( number of records * number of records, I think)
So added
And A.RecKey > B.RecKey and B.RecKey > C. RecKey and C.RecKey . D.RecKey
This works when there are exactly 4 records per account. If there are less than 4 records on the account it skips the account and if there are more than 4 records, it returns multiple rows.
But when I try to l join this to the other table to get the business name, I get a row for every record on the other table
I tried select distinct on the other table and the query runs for ever and never returns anything
I tried outer joins and subqueries, but no luck so far. I was thinking maybe a subquery - if exists - because I don't know how many records there are on an account, but don't know how to structure that
Any suggestions would be appreciated

The client wants to display 1 record per account.As someone has already mentioned, you should post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for both tables (relevant columns only). You don't have to post a lot of sample data. For example, you need to pick 1 out of 30 or 40 rows (max) for the same account, but it's almost certainly enough if you post only 3 or 4 rows (max) for an account.
Also, post the results you want from the sample data that you post, and explain how you get those resutls from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using. This sounds like a PIVOT problem, and a new SELECT .... PIVOT feature was introduced in Oracle 11.1. If you're using Oracle 11, you don't want to have to learn the old way to do pivots. On the other hand, if you have Oracle 10, a solution that uses a new feature that you don't have won't help you.
Whenever you have a question, please post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for some sample data, the results you want from that data, an explanation, and your Oracle version.
Initially I wrote a query to join the table to itself:
Select A.OfficerTtitle, A.OfficerName, B.OfficerTitle, B.OfficerName, C.OfficerTtitle, C.OfficerName, D.OfficerTitle, D.OfficerName where A.AcctNumber = B.AcctNumber and A.AcctNumber = C.AcctNumber and A.AcctNumber = D.AcctNumber Be careful, and post the exact code that you're running. The statement above can't be what you ran, because it doesn't have a FROM clause.
This returned tons of duplicate rows for each account ( number of records * number of records, I think)
So added
And A.RecKey > B.RecKey and B.RecKey > C. RecKey and C.RecKey . D.RecKey
This works when there are exactly 4 records per account. If there are less than 4 records on the account it skips the account and if there are more than 4 records, it returns multiple rows.

Any suggestions would be appreciatedDisplaying 1 column from n rows as n columns on 1 row is called Pivoting . See the following link fro several ways to do pivots:
SQL and PL/SQL FAQ
Pivoting requires that you know exactly how many columns will be in the result set. If that number depends on the data in the table, then you might prefer to use String Aggregation , where the output consists of a huge string column, that contains the concatenation of the data from n rows. This big string can be formatted so that it looks like multiple columns. For different string aggregation techniques, see:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/StringAggregationTechniques.php
The following thread discusses some options for pivoting a variable number of columns:

How to delete a row from a SQL Server CE Table with multiple JOINs?

I want to delete a record from a SQL Server CE table.
There are 3 tables scripts, options and results. I would like to remove a record from the results table. The where clause contains dynamic information which retrieved via other queries to different tables in the same database. These queries work fine and deliver
the desired data.
The Compact server is a clone of a remote table created using the sync framework. The same query to the remote table works fine.
The error I get is:
There was an error parsing the query. [ Token line number = 1,Token line offset = 10,Token in error = from ]
The code that throws the exception is as follows:
Dim connLoc As SqlCeConnection = New SqlCeConnection(My.Settings.ConnectionString)connLoc.Open() Dim strDel As String = "Delete r from ResultsTable r inner join OptionsTable o ON o.TestName=r.TestName inner join ScriptTable c ON r.TestName=c.TestName WHERE r.TestName = '" & ds1Loc.Tables(0).Rows(0)(1) & "' AND [Index] = '" & lstIndex & "'"Dim cmdDel As SqlCeCommand = New SqlCeCommandcmdDel.CommandText = strDelcmdDel.Connection = connLoccmdDel.ExecuteNonQuery()
The values held in ds1Loc.Tables(0).Rows(0)(1) and lstIndex are
correct so should not be the problem.
I also tried using parameterised queries
Dim strDel As String = "Delete r from [ResultsTable] r inner join [OptionsTable] o ON o.TestName=r.TestName inner join [ScriptTable] c ON r.TestName=c.TestName WHERE r.TestName = @TestName AND [Index] = @lstIndex"
Dim cmdDel As SqlCeCommand = New SqlCeCommand cmdDel.CommandText = strDel
With cmdDel.Parameters
.Add(New SqlCeParameter("@TestName", ds1Loc.Tables(0).Rows(0)(1)))
.Add(New SqlCeParameter("@lstIndex", lstIndex))
End With
cmdDel.Connection = connLoc cmdDel.ExecuteNonQuery()
I have tried replacing the "=" with "IN" in the the WHERE clause but this has not worked.
Is it the join that is causing the problem? I can do a select with the same search criteria and joins from the same database.
Also this query works with SQL Server. Is it perhaps that SQL CE does not support the Delete function the same as SQL Server 2008? I have been looking at this for a while now and cannot find the source of the error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
In SQL Server Compact, we can use join in FROM clause. The DELETE statement fail may be caused by the FOREIGN KEY constraint.
Please refer to:
DELETE (SQL Server Compact)
FROM Clause (SQL Server Compact)

Is there a way , where i can simplify the joins with tbloption and tblLabelDetail and get my o/p in optimal time.
Regards

I have headed towards another approach ie. using unpivot and then pivot.
First i am converting option1-option9 into column , then doing PIVOT to get back the same record . But issue is that when i am doing pivoting i am getting NULL values.
My query is :
select * into #t1 from
select ID
, option1
, option2
, option3
, option4
, option5
, option6
, option7
, option8
, option9
from vCustomConsumer
where sid=105
and sessionYM = 1412
) SourceTable
UNPIVOT
optionID FOR Col IN
(option1
,option2
,option3
,option4
,option5
,option6
,option7
,option8
,option9 )
) AS unpvt
select t.ID,t.optionID,t.col,cast(ld.text as varchar(max)) as text into #t2
from #t1 t
left outer join tbloption o on o.ID = t.optionID
left outer join tblLabelDetail ld on ld.labelID = o.labelID and ld.langID=1
order by ID,col
select ID,option1
,option2
,[option3]
,option4
,option5
,option6
,option7
,option8
,option9
from
select ID,optionID,col,text
from #t2
)up
pivot
min(text)for col in
(option1
,option2
,[option3]
,option4
,option5
,option6
,option7
,option8
,option9
)as pvt
In my last query where i am using pivot, i am getting NULL values. When i check the data in temp table #t2 , it exists perfectly . But when pivoting i dont understand why it is returning most of the NULL values. I am getting data for only one column in single
row.
Below are some rows from result set finally obtained after pivoting :
ID
option1
option2
option3
option4
option5
option6
option7
option8
option9

Dimensions with multiple joins

Hi,
Discoverer Desktop 9.0.2
Discoverer Administrator 9.0.2
OWB 9.2
I have imported the dimensions and facts from OWB EEX file.
While I trying to create a report based on the dimensions, I found the problem in Dimensions used multiple times against the fact table.
For example,
I use the Time Dimension (TIME_DIM) for assigned date, open Date and Close dt. My fact table will have the foreign keys for these 3 columns.
TIME_DIM
DAY_ID
DAY_DAY
DAY_MONTH
DAY_YEAR
data
DAY_ID DAY_DAY DAY_MONTH DAY_YEAR
1 01-JAN-04 JANUARY 2004
2 01-FEB-04 FEBRUARY 2004
3 01-MAR-04 MARCH 2004
FACT_TABLE
DAY_ID
DAY_ID2
DAY_ID3
Data
DAY_ID DAY_ID2 DAY_ID3
1 2 3
1 1 2
While I am creating the report, in 'work book wizard: step 2' shows the TIME_DIM only one time, also it allows to select only one time with any one of these keys. Whereas I need to select the time dimension for each of the time keys in fact table.
Is their any work around to get these values in my reports?
I mean
My report will look like,
ASSIGNED DT OPEN DT CLOSE DT
01-JAN-04 01-FEB-04 01-MAR-04
01-JAN-04 01-JAN-04 01-FEB-04
I tried with creating hierarchies, modifying the SQL to add these keys manually and then import SQL, doesnt work at all.
Please help me !!
Thanks,
Shree

You have to load the table up several times into the EUL and create links to the different column in your fact table.

Help with Multiple-Join Query

I have three tables, photos, comments and prices. Their
structures (abbreviated) are as follows:
photos
photoID
photoTitle
prices
priceID
priceValue
photoID_fk
comments
commentID
commentText
photoID_fk
What I need to do is be able to display a list of photos with
their correlating prices and comments, like so:
Photo 1
Price 1
Price 2
Comment 1
comment 2
Photo 2
Price 1
Price 2
Photo 3
Price 1
Price 2
Comment 1
Notice that while each photo will always have the same number
of "price" values, some might have comments and some might not.
I will list the code that I have thus far, but let me briefly
explain what is happening. With the setup I currently have, the
photos display in the proper order with their proper price values
and comments (if any). Unfortunately, on the ones WITH comments,
the list of prices duplicates to match the number of comments
returned. So, if Photo 1 has two comments, it will return "Price 1
Price 2 Price 1 Price 2" for the output of the price section.
I have been pulling my hair out over this, and any help that
anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated and will
potentially save my life.

Dan--
Thanks, as always, for your response. Your solution solved
the problem!
As to my database needs, the comments are related only to the
photos.
Basically, I have a a table that holds all information about
photos in a gallery. I have another table which holds all the
comments that users make about the photos. Finally, each and every
photo has 8 sizes (all the same) for sale. So, I don't think the
MTM relationship is there.
Initially, I was simply going to put Size1, Size2, etc. in
the photos table. However, my client wants to be able to add and/or
remove sizes in the future. Therefore, I thought it would be easier
if every photo was given "x" number of entries in the prices table,
where "x" is the number of total price categories (currently 8).
I don't want to monopolize more of your time, but if you have
a second, I would be interested in hearing a more developed
explanation of the restructuring that you proposed at the end of
your last response. If you do not have time, I understand of
course.
Thanks a million for your help on this!

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.I've never had this problem before... today I opened iTunes and it prompted me to download the newest version. I use iTunes all the time and have updated it multiple times with no issues. During the installation process it gave me an error message that said:
Runtime error!
Program C:\Program Files\iTunes.exe
R0634
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I quit the installation, uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my computer. I now receive a similar message with a slight difference:
Runtime error!
Program C:\Program Files (x86)...
R0634
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I did not leave anything out from the error message. It doesn't point to a specific file, it just ends with "(x86)..." Every time I boot up my computer, this error message pops up on my desktop.
How do I repair this issue? I have found multiple suggested solutions but am unsure which one is the best, and I don't want to try a bunch of different things for fear I may make the problem worse. I would like to try and fix this myself if possible but I need to know if that is really possible or if I need to take my computer to someone for repairs. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

Hi lustyln,
I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
For reference, here are your product specifications:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01867418&lc=en&product=4043282
I hope this helps.
