Use of FIRST_VALUE OVER in a PL/SQL query

Hello,
Here is my problem:
I'm trying to execute a query using FIRST_VALUE OVER in a PL/SQL procedure, e.g.
SELECT FIRST_VALUE (name) OVER (order by birthdate)
FROM birthday_table
WHERE location = 'HOME';
I need to get the value returned. I tried to do it using an INTO clause and
also with EXECUTE IMMEDIATE, but I get an error like "invalid column name".
Thank you,
Olivier.

Assuming the query runs successfully outside of PL/SQL, the execute immediate construct would be:
execute immediate 'select first_value ... where location = :loc' into v_some_variable using 'HOME';

How to get cm:search to use the max attribute when creating the SQL query?

When we use the max attribute in the cm:search tag, it does not seem to honor the max attribute when creating the SQL query. However, the result returned from the tag is limited to the number specified by the max attribute. Then the tag seems to work as intended, but the performance will be sub optimal when the SQL query returns unnecessary rows to the application.
We use the cm:search tag to list the latest news (ordered by date), and with the current implementation we have to expect a decrease in performance over time as more news is published. But we can’t live with that. We need to do the constraint in the SQL query, not in the application.
The sortBy attribute of cm:search is translated to “order by” in the SQL query, as expected.
Is it possible to get cm:search to generate the SQL query with an addition of “where rownum <= maxRows”?

Hi Erik,
The behavior of a repository in regards to the search tag's max results parameter is dependent on the underlying repository's implementation. That said, the OOTB repository in WLP does augment the generated SQL to limit the number of rows returned from the database. This is done in the parsing logic. This behavior may differ with other repository implementations.

Clarification on using function in where clause of oracle sql query

I have an issue in regarding function using where clause of sql query..
We are facing performance issue while executing query, so in what ways to improve the performance of the query which i have posted below.
select col ,case when my_function(parameter)
from tab1 a ,tab2 b,tabl3 c
where a.column1=b.column2
and b.column3 =c.column6
and my_function(parameter)>0
Regards
Dinesh
Edited by: wild fire on May 18, 2012 4:15 PM

Dinesh,
remind that when you use a function in the where clause it normally will get started for each record in the table.
So your answer is two-fold:
1. make the function only start when needed by adding a function based index on the table (this will make inserts and updates slower)
2. make the function faster by adding the DETERMINISTIC clause if possible. this will make Oracle "cache" the result of the function.

Using variable as table name in pl/sql query - Is possible?

I am relatively new to PL/SQL and I am trying to create a function that accepts a table name and a rowid as arguments and returns a comma-delimited record string of the values of the table/rowid being passed. The problem is , I cannot code a select stmt as follows
SELECT * FROM v_table_name
WHERE rowid = v_row_id
in PL/SQL. There must be a easy way to approach this.
Thanks for any and all advice.
GC

I don't understand the use of the concat symbol along with the commas and field namesYou just need (if you really need it) to create variable which contains you column separated by comma:
Simple example (in the second case separate variables are used to create
the list of columns):
SQL> declare
2   rc sys_refcursor;
3   cols varchar2(200) := 'ename, empno, sal';
4   tab varchar2(30) := 'emp';
5 begin
6   open rc for 'select ' || cols || ' from ' || tab;
7   close rc;
8 end;
9 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> declare
2   rc sys_refcursor;

4   ename_col varchar2(10) := 'ename';

Guidance on use of "COUNT(*) OVER () * 5" in a select query.

Hello Friends,
I was reading one article, in which one table was created for demo. Following was the statements for there.
CREATE TABLE source_table
NOLOGGING
AS
SELECT ROWNUM AS object_id
, object_name
, object_type
FROM all_objects;
INSERT /*+ APPEND */ INTO source_table
SELECT ROWNUM (COUNT(*) OVER () * 5)+ AS object_id
, LOWER(object_name) AS object_name
, SUBSTR(object_type,1,1) AS object_type
FROM all_objects;
INSERT /*+ APPEND */ INTO source_table
SELECT ROWNUM (COUNT(*) OVER() * 10)+ AS object_id
, INITCAP(object_name) AS object_name
, SUBSTR(object_type,-1) AS object_type
FROM all_objects;
Can anyone please tell me the purpose of *"ROWNUM + (COUNT(*) OVER () * 5)"* in above 2 insert statements, or suggest me some document on that.
I don't know about its usage, and want to learn that..
Regards,
Dipali..

The insert statements that you have listed are using Oracle Analytic Functions. Some examples of these functions can be found here: [Oracle Analytic Functions|http://www.psoug.org/reference/analytic_functions.html|Oracle Analytic Functions]
Effectively what that says is the following:
1. "COUNT(*) OVER ()" = return the number of rows in the entire result set
2. Multiply that by 5 (or 10 depending on the insert)
3. Add the current ROWNUM value to it.
This can be shown with a simple example:
SQL> edit
Wrote file sqlplus_buffer.sql
1 SELECT *
2 FROM
3 (
4     SELECT ROWNUM r,
5             (COUNT(*) OVER ()) AS ANALYTIC_COUNT,
6             5,
7             ROWNUM + (COUNT(*) OVER () * 5) AS RESULT
8     FROM all_objects
9 )
10* WHERE r <= 10
SQL> /
         R ANALYTIC_COUNT          5     RESULT
         1          14795          5      73976

Using System Variables in a SQL Query

Hi!
I´m new to Oracle and SQL so i don´t know very much about it.
There is miy Problem:
Is there a way to Use the System Variable %USERNAME% in an SQL Query?
I tried .... where table.shorttag = '%USERNAME%' ;
but this doesnt work.
Is Oracle able to handle Systemvariables? Or is there another way to use the current Windows User in an SQL Query.
It is very Important to use the current Windows user and not the Oracle user.
Thank you,
Mfg

Are you looking for something like this ?
SQL> SELECT sys_context('USERENV', 'OS_USER') FROM dual;
SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','OS_USER
SAUBBANE\IBM
SQL> SELECT sys_context('USERENV', 'TERMINAL') FROM dual;
SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','TERMINA
SAUBBANEAlso you can look at the dbms_application_info package.

How to replace variable value of a sql query dynamically

Hi all,
Trying to execute sql queries present in Oracle table and the query it self contains the ODI variable #EMP_NO.
At the run time we thought of passing the variable values.
table contains query like
update table <table name> set <column name>= 5000 where emp_no = #EMP_NO
We need to execute the sql query using a ODI procedure, to pick the sql query from table we use another variable #varSQLID and in the command on source tab wrote like
select sql_query varSQL from emp_sql where query_id=#varSQLID
Command on target
#varSQL
when ever I tried to execute I am getting error please let me know what changes are required .
The question is whether it's possible to replace the variable value present in the above sql ?
regards,
Palash Chatterjee

Thanks Siddhartha,
Actually we have been doing the same, means half of the query has been kept in the table and rest is being added in the " command on source " tab of the procedure .
But the problem is , the "where" condition is not same for all SQL queries,
to provide 27 different sqls queries for 27 packages we have to create 27 procedures (as "where" condition may take other column values along with "EMPNO" for the JOIN condition ) .
Any suggestion of keeing SQL along with the variable and storing it in the table may resolve our problem and work of 27 procedures can be performed by a single procedure .
regards,
Palash Chatterjee

SQL Subscription field shows * only with Dynamic Text Label in SQL query

We are using Hyperion Analyzer 7.2.x for showing budget and actual data. I have to show this financial data based on the security e.g. person in IT can see only IT dept. data. Hence I want to use dynamic text label <<userid>> for the security based on the person logging in to Analyzer.
But when I use dynamic text label <<userid>> in the SQL query in SQL Spreadsheet, SQL Subscription field shows * only selection option. Does anyone have idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.
-SV

Hi
Okay i know this is a bit crazy way.....but i think this is the solution for your issue.
Create a report without the where clause (<<useris>>) then add a filter (sql subscription) then you can find all the values that are there in the SQL field (try to increase the query limit it is set to 250 as default) then edit the spreadsheet and add the where clause (<<userid>>).
This will help you having the filter and the dynamic text label. I think there is an issue when you try to filter it with a where clause.
Hope it helps.

Error in executing SQL query

Hi All,
I am working with labview application.
The database being used is Access.
The tables i have to use contains the special symbol - (not underscore.)
Let the table name be user-data
When i am executing the query select * from user-data its showing
error message syntax error in from clause.
I tried just typing the query in access also and got the same error.
I believe its because of the usage of the special character other than underscore in table name
Many applications using the same database is running in VB already.So there is no way for me to rename the table.
I know i am asking an invalid question.But still....
Is there any way for me to use the same table name and execute sql query.
Thanks in advance

There should be. Try putting the table name in quotes - some DBMS use single quotes, some use double quotes. For example say the table name has a space in it. Try something like:
select * from 'a funny table';
or
select * from "a funny table"; (Actually, I think I'd try this one first...)
Failing this, you have two choices: change the name of the table, or dump Access and go with a real DBMS - which you will probibly want to do anyway because it will only be a matter of time before you start hitting a performance wall. Access is particularly bad if you have more than one process making a connection to it at a time. Interms of alternatives, there are a couple really good open-source products out there, as well as no-cost versions of Oracle and SQL-Server.

SEQUENCE Select within an SQL Query with an ORDER BY statement

Does anyone know why you cannot use an ORDER BY statement within an SQL query when also selecting from a SEQUENCE? My query was selecting production data as a result of a filtered search. I want to take the results of the filtered search and create a transaction. I have a sequence for generating transaction numbers where I select NEXTVAL. Since I could possibly obtain multiple, yet distinct, rows based upon my search criteria, I wanted to use an ORDER BY statement to simplify and order the resulting row(s).
I was able to get the SQL select with SEQUENCE.NEXTVAL to work without the ORDER BY, so I know that my SQL is correct. Thanks in-advance.

Okay,
I understand. You want the sequence assigned first and the you want to ORDER BY. You
can do this using pipelined functions. See here:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE emp_rec_seq AS OBJECT (
   seq     NUMBER,
   ename   VARCHAR2 (20),
   job     VARCHAR2 (20),
   sal     NUMBER
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE emp_tab_seq AS TABLE OF emp_rec_seq;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_emp_with_sequence
   RETURN emp_tab_seq PIPELINED
IS
   my_record   emp_rec_seq := emp_rec_seq (NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
BEGIN
   FOR c IN (SELECT dummy.NEXTVAL seq, ename, job, sal
               FROM emp)
   LOOP
      my_record.seq := c.seq;
      my_record.ename := c.ename;
      my_record.job := c.job;
      my_record.sal := c.sal;
      PIPE ROW (my_record);
   END LOOP;
   RETURN;
END get_emp_with_sequence;after that, you can do a select like this:
SELECT seq, ename, job, sal
FROM TABLE (get_emp_with_sequence)
order by enamewhich will get you this:
       SEQ ENAME                JOB                         SAL

Can someone help me to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Trouble referencing BI Publisher parameters in SQL Query (nQSError: 46033)

Hello everyone,
I have a query that references some Parameters I created in BI Publisher. They are:
grade_var of type String
school_var of type String
school_year of type String
The SQL used to for the data model of the report is:
SELECT "KW School Year"."School Year", "KW Grade"."Grade Seq Nbr", "KW Grade"."Grade Desc", "KWC Enrolment"."Student Count", +(case WHEN "KW School"."School Name" = 'Campbell Collegiate' then "KW School"."School Name" else 'Z - Other School' end)+
FROM "Sask DW"
WHERE ("KW Student"."Student Nbr" IN
(SELECT "KW Student"."Student Nbr"
FROM "Sask DW"
WHERE ("KW School"."Post Secondary Institute Ind" = 'N')
AND ("KW Enrolment Outcome"."Enrolment Outcome" NOT IN ('Deceased', 'Transferred to out-of-country schooling', 'Transferred to out-of-province schooling'))
AND ("KW Grade"."Grade Desc" = :grade_var)
AND ("KW School"."School Name" = :school_var)
AND ("KW School Year"."School Year" = :school_year_var)) )
AND ("KW School"."Post Secondary Institute Ind" = 'N')
AND ("KW Enrolment Outcome"."Enrolment Outcome" NOT IN ('Deceased', 'Transferred to out-of-country schooling', 'Transferred to out-of-province schooling'))
AND +("KW School Year"."School Year" >= '2005/2006')+
The above query works great and I can get back results and throw them into a template and it works great. The problem comes when I want to change what is highlighted in italics text. School Name and School Year values are hard coded into the SQL but I want those to reference the value of the BI Publisher parameter. It seems to work fine in the bolded part but when I put the paramater name into the italics part, I get the error message:
java.io.IOException: prepare query failed[nQSError: 46033] Datatype: 25 is not supported.
The query I am trying to submit is (changes highlighted in bold):
SELECT "KW School Year"."School Year", "KW Grade"."Grade Seq Nbr", "KW Grade"."Grade Desc", "KWC Enrolment"."Student Count", *(case WHEN "KW School"."School Name"=:school_var then "KW School"."School Name" else 'Z - Other School' end)*
FROM "Sask DW"
WHERE ("KW Student"."Student Nbr" IN
(SELECT "KW Student"."Student Nbr"
FROM "Sask DW"
WHERE ("KW School"."Post Secondary Institute Ind" = 'N')
AND ("KW Enrolment Outcome"."Enrolment Outcome" NOT IN ('Deceased', 'Transferred to out-of-country schooling', 'Transferred to out-of-province schooling'))
AND ("KW Grade"."Grade Desc" = :grade_var)
AND ("KW School"."School Name" = :school_var)
AND ("KW School Year"."School Year" = :school_year_var)) )
AND ("KW School"."Post Secondary Institute Ind" = 'N')
AND ("KW Enrolment Outcome"."Enrolment Outcome" NOT IN ('Deceased', 'Transferred to out-of-country schooling', 'Transferred to out-of-province schooling'))
AND ("KW School Year"."School Year" >= :school_year_var)
The parameters are all of type string and all the columns I am comparing them to are VARCHAR. What doesn't make sense is that the parameters can be compared to the columns in the middle of the SQL but when I try a similar comparison near the beginning and at the end, I get the error shown above.
Any thoughts/tips?
Thanks!

Hi Jared,
Did you have any success with the syntax suggested? I am having the same issue and would like to know if using the parameter as part of the SQL query select statement is feasible. The goal is to have a column dynamically selected based on a parameter value. My example:
SELECT
CASE
WHEN :p_name = 'Joe' THEN table1.column_a
WHEN :p_name = 'Tom' THEN table1.column_b
ELSE table1.column_c
END
FROM ...
