Use of Case in Select statement

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me whats wrong im doing in the following select statement. I am selecting most this fields from Global Temperory Table and few from normal DB tables.
select h.Taskid,h.Flowid,fd.DESCRIPTION Flowname,h.Stepid, sd.DESCRIPTION Stepname,h.Lockby,ud.USERNAME,h.Status,case Date_initiated when (Currval.Testid = Nextval.Testid) Then Date_initiated := NULL Else Date_initiated := Date_initiated End case,case UserTime When ((Currval-1).Testid IS NULL or Currval.Testid <> (Currval-1).Testid) Then UserTime := StartTime When (Currval.Testid = (Currval-1).Testid or Currval.Testid <> Nextval.Testid or Nextval.Testid IS NULL) Then UserTime = (Currval-1).Endtime End case,case StartTime When(Currval.Stepid = Nextval.Stepid or Currval.Stepid=9999) Then StartTime := NULL Else StartTime := StartTime End case,h.EndTime,h.LockTime,h.Drawer,h.FileNo,h.DocType from GlobalTempTest h inner join USERDEFINITION ud on h.Lockby=ud.USERID inner join FLOWDEFINITION fd on h.Flowid=fd.FLOWID inner join STEPDEFINITION sd on (h.Stepid=sd.STEPID and h.Flowid=sd.FLOWID)
Hope so get some response soon.
Thanks in Advance

You have to rewrite your code like this:
CASE WHEN (Currval.Testid = Nextval.Testid) THEN NULL
ELSE Date_initiated
END New_Date_initiatedCurrval/Nextval as shown in your example will not work. Please explain what you mean by previous value comparison.

Case in Select Statement - Ramya

Hi All,
Could any body help me out ,how to use the CASE in select Statement

How to use SET ID in select statement of SQ02

Hi,
I have a infoset, where for one of my Zfield, i have writen a select statement in order to get my ouput.
if aufk-aufnr = 'XYZ'.
select sum( FKBTR ) from fmifiit into zfmifiit
where fikrs = aufk-kokrs
and fipex IN capex
and wrttp NE '51'.
endif.
For the above statement, i have created (with 10 single values, table name FMCI, field name FIPEX) a SET id named CAPEX and used with IN operator.
But when i generating the infoset i am getting error like below
The IN operator with "CAPEX" is followed neither by an internal table nor by a value list
I was using IN opeartor for set ids during validation / substitutions, where if i have to validate multiple single values.
What to do here?

Using plsql tables in select statement of report query

Hi
Anyone have experience to use plsql table to select statement to create a report. In otherwords, How to run report using flat file (xx.txt) information like 10 records in flat files and use this 10 records to the report and run pdf files.
thanks in advance
suresh

hi,
u can use the utl_file package to do that using a ref cursor query in the data model and u can have this code to read data from a flat file
declare
ur_file utl_file.file_type;
my_result varchar2(250);
begin
ur_file := UTL_FILE.FOPEN ('&directory', '&filename', 'r') ;
utl_file.get_line(ur_file, my_result);
dbms_output.put_line(my_result);
utl_file.fclose(ur_file);
end;
make sure u have an entry in ur init.ora saying that your
utl_file_dir = '\your directory where ur files reside'
cheers!

Error by using database procedure in select statement

hi ,
I have built a database procedure having one parameter with in out varchar type. that return value with some addition.
i am using it with some column in select statement only for display purpuses but i am facing error by doing that in select statement. that procedure is working well with bind variable but not with select statement.
plz help me how i can use a procedure in select statement. or can i do it or not.

plz help me how i can use a procedure in select statement. or can i do it or not.A workaround could be to create a wrapper function for your procedure. One that only passes the input parameters and returns the output parameter.
The simply call this function in your select which internally calls the procedure.

Using java function in select statement

Hi,
I am trying to use java function in select statement.
public class ClassA{
     private static String MyConst = "foo";
     public static String functionA(){
          return MyConst;
in my query I have:
select
     ClassA.functionA() AS id,
     groupId AS newID,
from
     myChannel[now]
ClassA is part of the application (no need to import).
I get and error of Invalid Expression on ClassA.functionA().
I also tried to declare the function in the processor element:
<wlevs:processor id="proc">
     <wlevs:function function-name="A" exec-methode="functionA">
          <bean class="mtPackage.ClassA"/>
     </wlevs:function>
<wlevs:processor>
but then I get a different error in the processor XML file: "An InvocationTargetException was encoutered while attemting to register the user defind function A. The message was null"
What am I missing here?

Hi,
From the above description, you have tried two manners to call method functionA() in the user defined class ClassA. One uses java cartridge manner directly and the other try to use user defined function manner.
For the java cartridge manner, the following CQL query should work if the ClassA is really included in the OEP app. I have done similar test before, it works.
select
     ClassA.functionA() AS id,
     groupId AS newID,
from
     myChannel[now]
For user defined function manner, I think two things you need to change:
1. Need to declare the function in the EPN assembly file(under META-INF/spring/), not component configuration file(under META-INF/wlevs/). The following is an example:
<wlevs:processor id="proc">
     <wlevs:function function-name="A" exec-methode="functionA">
          <bean class="mtPackage.ClassA"/>
     </wlevs:function>
</wlevs:processor>
2. Call the user defined function in the CQL query in the component configuration file under processor. For example:
select A() from myChannel

CASE in SELECT statement

Hello,
in Oracle8 I've the following problem:
The statement
SELECT ''' | ''||' || 'rpad'
|| '(''' || column_name
|| ''',' ||
(CASE WHEN (data_type = 'VARCHAR2' AND
data_length > 50) THEN
to_number('50')
WHEN (data_type = 'CHAR' AND
data_length > 50) THEN
to_number('50')
WHEN (data_type = 'CLOB' AND
data_length > 50) THEN
to_number('50')
WHEN (data_type = 'DATE' AND
data_length != 19) THEN
to_number('19')
ELSE
data_length
END )
|| ', '' '')||' AS column_name
FROM dba_tab_columns
WHERE
table_name = upper('DBA_TABLES') AND
owner = upper('SYS')
ORDER BY column_id;
works fine but defining the same statement as a cursor in a PL/SQL Procedure, I got a
Error: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "CASE" when expecting one of the following:
( - + mod not null others <an identifier>
<a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> avg

<a string literal with character set specification>

The same procedure can be compiled in Oracle9i without errors.
Does anybody know if there are any restrictions using CASE statements in a PL/SQL CURSOR in Oracle8?
Thanks

Hi,
I am encountering the same problem.
Can u suggest the decode statement used instead of case
for this select clause which uses the CASE statement ?

Using Multiple Parameters in Select Statement

My goal is to be able to use more than one parameter for the select statement. When I use OR instead of AND it works but with only one parameter. I thought using AND would return any parameter that is listed in the ?Report Based On}. Any ideas why this will not work?
I've created four parameters:
Report Based on (string) Allow Multiple Values (Default Values: Customer, Part Id, and Serial Number)
RMA info by Customer (string)
RMA Info by Part Id (string)
RMA Info by SN (string)
This is my select statement
(if {?Report Based On} = "Customer" then
    {RMA_Information.Customer}LIKE{?RMA info by Customer})
and
(if {?Report Based On} = "Part Id" then
{RMA_Information.Part Id}LIKE{?RMA Info by Part Id})
and
(if {?Report Based On} = "Serial Number" then
{RMA_Information.Serial Number}={?RMA Info by SN })
tx Shirley

Try this...
IF "Customer" IN {?Report Based On} AND
     "Part Id" IN {?Report Based On} AND
     "Serial Number" IN {?Report Based On}
THEN {RMA_Information.Customer}LIKE{?RMA info by Customer} AND
     {RMA_Information.Part Id}LIKE{?RMA Info by Part Id} AND
     {RMA_Information.Serial Number}={?RMA Info by SN}
ELSE
IF "Customer" IN {?Report Based On} AND
     "Part Id" IN {?Report Based On}
THEN {RMA_Information.Customer}LIKE{?RMA info by Customer} AND
     {RMA_Information.Part Id}LIKE{?RMA Info by Part Id}
ELSE
IF "Customer" IN {?Report Based On} AND
     "Serial Number" IN {?Report Based On}
THEN {RMA_Information.Customer}LIKE{?RMA info by Customer} AND
     {RMA_Information.Serial Number}={?RMA Info by SN}
ELSE
IF "Part Id" IN {?Report Based On} AND
     "Serial Number" IN {?Report Based On}
THEN {RMA_Information.Part Id}LIKE{?RMA Info by Part Id} AND
     {RMA_Information.Serial Number}={?RMA Info by SN}
ELSE
IF "Customer" IN {?Report Based On}
THEN {RMA_Information.Customer}LIKE{?RMA info by Customer}
ELSE
IF "Part Id" IN {?Report Based On}
THEN {RMA_Information.Part Id}LIKE{?RMA Info by Part Id}
ELSE
"Serial Number" IN {?Report Based On}
THEN {RMA_Information.Serial Number}={?RMA Info by SN}

How to use 'is null' in select statement of ABAP program

Use of wildcard * in SELECT statement

I have read that the use of the wildcard * in a SELECT statement cannot be utilized when using the INSERT INTO or other queries where data column/field alignment is critical. I have noted that the INSERT INTO column/fields must be in the same order
as the SELECT statement (as there is no alignment to column/field names). Can someone please provide me with the information or article that covered this scenario?

It is consider a good practice to specify columns name, however , SQL Server is smart enough to insert the data without too , but only if the table does not have an IDENTITY property
CREATE TABLE #t (c1 int, c2 char(1),c3 real, c4 bit)
CREATE TABLE #t1 (c1 int, c2 char(1),c3 real, c4 bit)
---Same thing with INSERT like SELECT * you asked
INSERT INTO #t1 VALUES (1,'A',2.5,0)
INSERT INTO #t1 VALUES (2,'B',3.5,1)
INSERT INTO #t1 VALUES (3,'C',4.5,0)
INSERT INTO #t SELECT * FROM #t1
SELECT * FROM #t

Using Variables in a select statement through a Database Adapter

I was wondering how I reference a variable in a select statement through a Database Adapter.
Ex.
1. I have a global variable that stores an employee number
2. I want to select an SSN # from a table based on an employee #
variable.
select ssn from emp where ssn = :input_variable - ????
- how do i reference the variable - I am getting a 'missing IN or OUT parameter error?
Any advice is much appreciated.
~Thanks

I'm just wondering if anyone knows a work around so that I might be able to store a Table's FIELD name in a variable or an array[] so that I can do a query based on the decision of a loop without having to code 10 IF/ELSE statements.For instance, although the above code will not work, this code, although quite lengthy, does:
If DataGrid1.SelStartCol = 0 Then
Adodc1.RecordSource = "Select * from tblReservation order by RES__PUR_DT"
Adodc1.Refresh
ElseIf DataGrid1.SelStartCol = 1 Then
Adodc1.RecordSource = "Select * from tblReservation order by VENDOR"
Adodc1.Refresh
ElseIf DataGrid1.SelStartCol = 2 Then
Adodc1.RecordSource = "Select * from tblReservation order by VEN_LOC"
Adodc1.Refresh
ElseIf DataGrid1.SelStartCol = 3 Then
Adodc1.RecordSource = "Select * from tblReservation order by RES_TYPE"
Adodc1.Refresh
ElseIf DataGrid1.SelStartCol = 4 Then
Adodc1.RecordSource = "Select * from tblReservation order by RES_FROM_DT"
Adodc1.Refresh
ElseIf DataGrid1.SelStartCol = 5 Then
Adodc1.RecordSource = "Select * from tblReservation order by RES_TO_DT"
Adodc1.Refresh
ElseIf DataGrid1.SelStartCol = 6 Then
Adodc1.RecordSource = "Select * from tblReservation order by MISC_ADJ"
Adodc1.Refresh
ElseIf DataGrid1.SelStartCol = 7 Then
Adodc1.RecordSource = "Select * from tblReservation order by STATE_TAX"
Adodc1.Refresh
ElseIf DataGrid1.SelStartCol = 8 Then
Adodc1.RecordSource = "Select * from tblReservation order by LOC_CHARGE"
Adodc1.Refresh
ElseIf DataGrid1.SelStartCol = 9 Then
Adodc1.RecordSource = "Select * from tblReservation order by RES_ID"
Adodc1.Refresh
ElseIf DataGrid1.SelStartCol = 10 Then
Adodc1.RecordSource = "Select * from tblReservation order by RES_OP"
Adodc1.Refresh
End If
Do you see where i'm going with this?
I simple want to use a variable in the "select * from <Table> Order by <Field>"

Using TRIM function in select statement

Hi All,
I'm using the TRIM function in my select statement to eliminate the white spaces.
But while using in select the TRIM function is not working in SQL*PLUS client(The query returns the white spaces also)
Kindly provide some pointers regarding the issue.........
I want to get only the data without the spaces in select statement
Regards,
Mohan

Hi, Mohan,
SQL*Plus always pads columns to make them line up nicely.
If you have a column declared as VARCHAR2 (20), then SQL*Plus will normally display 20 characters for that column, even in the maximum actual length is, say, 5 (or even if the column always happens to be NULL).
If you want the output to include only the actual data, without the padding that SQL*Plus adds, then concatenate all the columns into one big string column.
People often do something like the following to generate a CSV file, with no exta spaces:
SELECT       TO_CHAR (empno)
|| ',' || ename
|| ',' || job
|| ',' || TO_CHAR (deptno)
|| ',' || TO_CHAR (hiredate, 'DD-Mon-YYYY')     AS all_data
FROM          scott.emp;

delete adjacent duplicates from gt_sagmeld comparing guid_lclic lgreg ctsty srvll GUID_POBJ GUID_MOBJ .
now i am confused how to use delete adjacent dupliacate and on which fields
as first table /sal../lclic primary key is guid_lclic
and it is joined to table
legcon by guid_lclci ( not a primary key here)
legcon primary key is guid_legcon
and table 3 legsv by lgreg (pk here)
table 3 has tow more primary key srvll and ctsty also
NOW MY QUESTIO IS TAHT IS I USE ABOVE DELETE ADJACENT STATMENT IT FETCHES 20 LAKH RECORDS
I WANT TO REDUCE IS LET ME KNOW ON WHAT fields i need to use delete adjacen duplicates
or use comparing all fields?
regards
Arora

hi sudha
if u see my select statement is contains four Primary keys
srvll
lgreg
ctsty
guid_lclic
but the next table connected to this table legcon is by guid_pobj and anothe table by guid_mobj
and if i take this gt_sagmeld to another temp table and i find abt 10 lakh uniques guid_pobj
similary 6 lakh guid_mobj so the next slect is hanpering because of this
not COMING TO OUR POINT IF I SORT ONLY BY OUR PRIMARY KEYS NOT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT TEH GUID_POBJ AND GUID_MOBJ
THE ENTRIES ARE VERY LESS BUT IF I TAKE INOT ACCCOUNT IN GT_SAGMELD THE ENTRIES ARE ABT 20 LAKH
SO I AM NOT SURE WHETHER TO TAKNE GUID_POBJ AND GUID_MOBJ INOT ACCOUNT FOR DELECTING ADJACENT DUPLICATES?
HENCE THE QUESTION OF ON WHICH FIRLD DELETE OR COMPARING ALL FIELDS I USE?

Problem - Creating a Dynamic LOV using duplicate value in select statement

I am trying to create a Dynamic LOV by attempting to follow a pattern similar to the following:
select shop_name d, shop_id r
from shops
order by 1
However, I want to use the shop_name twice as in the following because I do not have any other unique identifier available such as a shop_id to associate with the shop name:
select shop_name d, shop_name r
from shops
order by 1
But I get an error where I am not allowed to duplicate the shop_name in the select statement. I read somewhere on this forum where it can be done but I can't find exactly how.
Can someone tell or show me how to accomplish this?
Thanks in anticipation for your answer.
Thanks,
Ric

Ric,
I just tried to do this on APEX 3.0, and it worked just fine with this SQL:
select ename d, ename r from emp order by 1Perhaps you could put an example on apex.oracle.com or specify the error message that you're getting.
So as long as you have uniquely aliased both columns, this should not present a problem.
Thanks,
