  • URGENT (sql query not execute)

    Hi Forum
    i made an application which run on JRun server.
    In many of my jsps i used sql query like this:
    " select id, name, rollno from student where add = 'jj';"
    and retrieve the record from resultset like this:
    rs.getString("id");
    rs.getString("name");
    rs.getString("rollno");
    I got no error.
    BUT WHEN I RETRIEVE THE RECORDS LIKE THIS
    rs.getString("name");
    rs.getString("id");
    rs.getString("rollno");
    i got the error:
    java.sql.SQLException: [Oracle][ODBC]Invalid column number <1>.
    I can not understand what is the problem ?
    all the datatypes are correct.
    all coding is correct.
    and everything is correct.
    pls help me & suggest a solution.
    is there any problem of jdbc API OR of JRUN SERVER SETTINGS?
    thanks

    You are retrieving the fields in a different order than what is specified in the select statement.
    Some drivers don't allow that (I don't believe it matters what version of the driver you have.)

  • Very Urgent: SQL Query Help

    Hi,
    I have a table which has location ID and text for these locations are stored in a seperate table.
    I am running query on table which has location ID but for every location I want it display its text which is stored in another table.
    How can this be done with SQL? This is a bit urgent, please help.

  • Urgent Sql Query Problem - -Very Urgent

    Hi Guys,
    I need a urgent solution for a problem.I am
    using the following query
    select ename from emp where deptno =10
    Now I will declare a bind variable and if user passes 'A'
    then the query will run as it is and if he passes B
    then it should run the above query with this additional clause -> birthdate - hiredate >15.
    Please can any one help its very urgent

    Assuming that you have a birthdate column in your emp table, the following will do what you are asking for:
    VARIABLE bind_var VARCHAR2(1)
    EXECUTE :bind_var := '&bind_variable'
    SELECT ename FROM
    (SELECT 'A' AS selection, ename FROM emp WHERE deptno = 10
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 'B' AS selection, ename FROM emp WHERE deptno = 10 AND birthdate - hiredate > 15)
    WHERE selection = :bind_var
    However, the clause "birthdate - hiredate > 15" will only retrieve rows for employees who were born more than 15 days after they were hired. I doubt that this is what you really want, since this is impossible.

  • Urgent SQL query help

    Hello,
    I need help with SQL... My database version is Oracle 10g Release 1.2.
    I have two table with the exact same structure as follows...
    create table t1(cust_id number(5), zone_number number(2), part_number varchar2(10))
    create table t2(cust_id number(5), zone_number number(2), part_number varchar2(10))
    I need a query that would give me two counts per pairs of customer between t1 and t2..
    1.Count of part_number matches between the same zones in table 1 and table 2 for pairs of customers
    for Customer 1 and 10 for zone 1 this total shoulb be 2 because between cust 1 and 10 for Zone 1 there are two part number matches A and B.
    for Customer 1 and 10 for zone 2 this total shoulb be 0 because between cust 1 and 10 for Zone 2 there are no part number matches
    for Customer 1 and 20 for zone 1 this total shoulb be 0 because between cust 1 and 20 for Zone 1 there are no part number matches
    for Customer 1 and customer 20 zone 2 this total shoulb be 0 because between cust 1 and 20 for Zone 2 there is one part number matches , which is 'F'
    for Customer 1 and customer 20 zone 3 this total shoulb be 0 because there is no zone 3 for Customer 1
    same way
    .. cust 2 and cust 10 Zone 1 counts and zone2 counts
    .. for 2 and cust 20 zone 1, 2, and 3 counts
    2. Total unique Part nmbers between the same zones for pairs of customers in table 1 and table2
    for example
    unique part numbers between cust 1 and 10 for zone 1 are A,B and C so the count should be 3
    unique part numbers between cust 1 and 10 for zone 2 are B,F, D and E so the count should be 3
    unique part numbers between cust 1 and 20 for zone 1 are A,B,C and G so the count should be 4
    and so on so forth
    insert into t1 values(1, 1, 'A')
    insert into t1 values(1, 1, 'B')
    insert into t1 values(1, 1, 'C')
    insert into t1 values(1, 2, 'B')
    insert into t1 values(1, 2, 'F')
    insert into t1 values(1, 2, 'D')
    insert into t1 values(1, 2, 'E')
    insert into t1 values(2, 1, 'F')
    insert into t1 values(2, 2, 'G')
    insert into t1 values(2, 2, 'H')
    insert into t2 values(10, 1, 'A')
    insert into t2 values(10, 1, 'B')
    insert into t2 values(10, 2, null)
    insert into t2 values(20, 1, 'G')
    insert into t2 values(20, 2, 'F')
    insert into t2 values(20, 2, 'H')
    insert into t2 values(20, 3, 'I')
    insert into t2 values(20, 3, 'J')
    My query result should be as follows...
    cust1 cust2 zone pn_match_count total_unique_pn_count
    1 10 1 2 3
    1 10 2 0 4
    1 20 1 0 4
    1 20 2 1 5
    1 20 3 0 2
    2 10 1 0 3
    2 10 2 0 2
    2 20 1 0 2
    2 20 2 1 3
    2 20 3 0 2
    I would really appreciate your help in writing this query.
    Thanks in Advance

    No, that doesn't do it... I get no results with this query becuase the Cust_id in table 1 and table 2 are not the same.Yeah, I only realised that after I posted my query. I had interpreted pairs as "matching pairs" when what you meant was "permutations".

  • URGENT SQL QUERY QUSTION

    Hi I have two tables store_product and store_category and store_orders...
    I have query which involves joins of store_product,store_category and store_order..
    for .eg
    select a.product_name,b.category_name,c.order_id where
    a.category_id=b.category_id and a.category_id in (20 )
    Some one suggested if we change
    select a.product_name,b.category_name,c.order_id where
    a.category_id=b.category_id and b.category_id in (20 )
    Then this query will run faster.....
    store_category has about 500 records
    store_product has about 5000 records
    Any suggestion appreciated...

    Hi
    I am assuming that your table a is containing primary key and ur b table is cintaining foreign key.
    when join take place a virtual table is created contaning m * n rows
    m = number of rows following join criteria for table a
    n = number of rows following join criteria for table b
    when the line containing a.category_id is executed then table a is searched for each entry in virtual table which is small.
    when the line containing b.category_id is executed then table b is searched for each entry in virtual table which is large.
    number of iteration will be more for large table
    the best example is when query optimizer is performing join in nested loop.

    Hi, can somebody please help me write a SQL query.
    I have 3 tables each with the same column names (Col1, Col2, Col3). Col1 is PK with Unique Constraint.
    I wanted to add values of Col2 and Col3 (from all 3 tables) and put it in a separate table (i.e aggregated) of all values found in Col1.
    Does anybody help me please ?
    thanks alot.

    Please don't mark your question as urgent. You've been around here long enough that you should know that it will not get your question anwered any faster, and may just irritate people into not answering at all.
    I'm not sure exactly what you want.
    Are you saying you want t1.c2 + t1.c3 + t2.c2 + t2.c3+ t3.c2 + t3.c3 for the rows that have the same c1 in all three tables?
    If so, it would be like this, I think: insert into t4
    select t1.c1
    , t1.c2 + t1.c3 + t2.c2 + t2.c3+ t3.c2 + t3.c3
    from t1, t2, t3
    where t2.c1 = t1.c1
    and t3.c1 = t1.c1If that's not what you want, please clarify.
    And next time maybe you should post your SQL question in a SQL forum.

  • URGENT HELP Required: Solution to avoid Full table scan for a PL/SQL query

    Hi Everyone,
    When I checked the EXPLAIN PLAN for the below SQL query, I saw that Full table scans is going on both the tables TABLE_A and TABLE_B
    UPDATE TABLE_A a
    SET a.current_commit_date =
    (SELECT MAX (b.loading_date)
    FROM TABLE_B b
    WHERE a.sales_order_id = b.sales_order_id
    AND a.sales_order_line_id = b.sales_order_line_id
    AND b.confirmed_qty > 0
    AND b.data_flag IS NULL
    OR b.schedule_line_delivery_date >= '23 NOV 2008')
    Though the TABLE_A is a small table having nearly 1 lakh records, the TABLE_B is a huge table, having nearly 2 and a half crore records.
    I created an Index on the TABLE_B having all its fields used in the WHERE clause. But, still the explain plan is showing FULL TABLE SCAN only.
    When I run the query, it is taking long long time to execute (more than 1 day) and each time I have to kill the session.
    Please please help me in optimizing this.
    Thanks,
    Sudhindra

    Check the instruction again, you're leaving out information we need in order to help you, like optimizer information.
    - Post your exact database version, that is: the result of select * from v$version;
    - Don't use TOAD's execution plan, but use
    SQL> explain plan for <your_query>;
    SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display);(You can execute that in TOAD as well).
    Don't forget you need to use the {noformat}{noformat} tag in order to post formatted code/output/execution plans etc.
    It's also explained in the instruction.
    When was the last time statistics were gathered for table_a and table_b?
    You can find out by issuing the following query:select table_name
    , last_analyzed
    , num_rows
    from user_tables
    where table_name in ('TABLE_A', 'TABLE_B');
    Can you also post the results of these counts;select count(*)
    from table_b
    where confirmed_qty > 0;
    select count(*)
    from table_b
    where data_flag is null;
    select count(*)
    from table_b
    where schedule_line_delivery_date >= /* assuming you're using a date, and not a string*/ to_date('23 NOV 2008', 'dd mon yyyy');

  • VERY URGENT: problem in sql query with long datatype in weblogic

    I have a problem while tryind to retrieve a column value with a long datatype using servlet and oci driver and the server is weblogic5.1 .I have used prepared statement the problem comes in the
    preparedStatement.executeQuery().
    The sql Query is simple query and runs well in all cases and fails only when the long datatype column is included in the query.
    The exception that comes on the weblogic server is that :
    AN UNEXPECTED EXCEPTION DETECTED IN THE NATIVE CODE OUTSIDE THE VM.

    Did you try changing the driver then?
    Please use Oracle's thin driver instead of the oci driver.
    There are many advantages of using the type 4 driver. the first and foremost being that it does not require oracle client side software on your machine. Therefore no enteries to be made in tnsnames.ora
    The thin driver is available in a jar called classes112.zip the class which implements the thin driver is oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
    the connection string is
    jdbc:oracle:thin:@<machine name>:1521:<sid>
    please try out with the thin driver and let me know.
    regards,
    Abhishek.
