Using alias in where statement

simple sql:
SELECT EMPLOYEE_ID,
FIRST_NAME,
LAST_NAME,
EMAIL,
PHONE_NUMBER,
HIRE_DATE,
JOB_ID,
SALARY,
COMMISSION_PCT,
MANAGER_ID,
DEPARTMENT_ID
FROM EMPLOYEES
WHERE EMPLOYEE_ID > 1000;
is it somehow possible to use alias in where statement like
SELECT EMPLOYEE_ID "ID",
FIRST_NAME,
LAST_NAME,
EMAIL,
PHONE_NUMBER,
HIRE_DATE,
JOB_ID,
SALARY,
COMMISSION_PCT,
MANAGER_ID,
DEPARTMENT_ID
FROM EMPLOYEES
WHERE "ID" > 1000;

Hi,
is it somehow possible to use alias in where statement likeWhy do you need it?

I find it annoying that you can't use aliases in where statements

I find it annoying that you can't use aliases in where
statements
for example:
SELECT TOP 1
CAST(amount
/ ( CASE WHEN ISNULL(rate, 0) <> 0 THEN rate
ELSE 1
END ) AS NUMERIC(10, 2)) AS num
FROM table
WHERE num > 1
ORDER BY num
Are there any workarounds?

> I find it annoying that you can't use aliases in where

This isn't really (or... "at all") a CF question. You're
better off asking
this sort of thing on a SQL Server forum.
You could use a derived table, I guess:
select top 1 num
from (
SELECT
CAST(amount
/ ( CASE WHEN ISNULL(rate, 0) <> 0 THEN
rate
ELSE 1
END ) AS NUMERIC(10, 2)) AS num
FROM table
where num > 1
order by num
(that might not preserve the intent of you SQL (sorry: it's
late, I'm
tired), but you get the idea.

Left outer join 3 tables with where-statement

Hi folks,
I hope you can understand (and maybe solve) my problem.
Generally I try to left outer join three tables. The third table is used for a WHERE-statement.
The three table structures are the following:
table 1 (user)
user1 | key
table 2 (detail)
key | ID
table 3 (header)
ID | user2
...and I want to achieve the following structure (as example filled with data):
user | key | ID
|-----|----
xy    | a    | 001
xy    | b    | #
z     | b     | #
The clue ist the usage of the third table. I need the table to set user1 and user2 equal (WHERE) but there are two problems:
1) Obviously I can't left outer join two tables with each other. In this case I already used the 'key' of table 1 to join it with the 'key' of table 2. So I can't left outer join the 'ID' of table 2 with the 'ID' of table 3. Error message that I can only left outer join a table once. Any proposals?
2) I have to include a WHERE to equal user1 with user2. But I am not allowed to use the user2 from table 3 because of the left outer join.
I tried this coding:
SELECT auser1 akey b~id INTO TABLE itab FROM ( table1 AS a
LEFT OUTER JOIN table2 AS b ON akey = bkey )
LEFT OUTER JOIN table3 AS c ON bID = cID )
WHERE auser1 = cuser2.
I would really appreciate your help.

IF you want to join a DB table with an internal table, you need to use the 'FOR ALL ENTRIES' statement.
select dbfields
into table itab2
from dbtab
for all entries in itab
where dbfield1 = itab-field1.
This will get you a second internal table with all the corresponding data for the first selection. You can then join them with a loop through the first table and a read table on the second table (for 1 - 1 relation) or a nested loop statement on both tables (for 1 - N relation). Make itab a hashed table when using read table with key, use a sorted table if you need to loop without key access.

Trigger fails when variable used in WHERE statement

I have a trigger that works when the following statment is in it:
SELECT custcall.callrkey into v_callrkey from custcall where custcall.servno = 152345;
But the trigger fails when I attempt to use a variable in the where statement as follows.
SELECT custcall.callrkey into v_callrkey from custcall where custcall.servno = :new.servno ;
Even though I have verified that the value of :new.servno is set to 152345 by outputting the value . That is the only difference between the working version and the non-working version. By not working I mean that the email which is to be sent by the trigger is not received.
Can anyone give me any ideas of how I could troubleshoot this or what might me happening? I'm pretty new to this and
feel that I'm missing something very simple. My apologies in advance if this has been posted elsewhere. I did spend a lot of time searching the forum before posting.
This is Oracle 9i.
Thanks!

Justin,
Thanks for the reply. I'm away for a couple of days but when I get back to this I'm going to follow up on your suggestion about servno. I'm starting to think that the issue isn't with servno but rather that the select query doesn't return anything because the value I'm trying to get is in another table and is not being inserted in time for me to get them. This will be easiy enough to test. To be honest, I don't know very much about how things are being inserted.
I appreciate your and Tubby's (and Tom's) concerns. Maybe I'll go back to the drawing board next week. But note that I'm not inserting anything with this trigger--only sending an email based on the insert that is happening through an application. So unless I'm really missing it, my email is dependent on the insert but not vice versa. Since my email is absolutely critical but rather jus a courtesy thing, I was taking a pretty laid back attitude about it but it would be good for me to learn a better way.
Thanks again to all! I'll report back what I find/decide.

Cannot use alias for dynamic column name in SELECT statement

Hi,
I want to retrieve values from several tables by using dynamic column & table name as below:
DATA: tbl_name(30) TYPE c VALUE '/bic/tbi_srcsys', " staticly initialized for this example
col_name(30) TYPE c VALUE '/bic/bi_srcsys'. " staticly initialized for this example
SELECT (col_name) INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_values FROM (tbl_name).
The internal table "it_values" does not contain a field named "/bic/bi_srcsys", instead it has another generic field "value" so that the above code can be applied to other tables. I tried to use alias (AS) as below:
SELECT (col_name) AS value INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_values FROM (tbl_name).
But this cannot work. I know that there are other ways to solve this problem, such as by using a single field in SELECT .. ENDSELECT and subsequently appending it to the work area and internal table as below:
SELECT (col_name) INTO (lv_value) FROM (tbl_name).
wa_value-value = lv_value.
APPEND wa_value TO it_values.
ENDSELECT.
Just wonder if there is any other more elegant workaround, because I might have several other fields instead of only one?
Thanks.
Regards,
Joon Meng

Hi Suhas,
thanks for the quick reply.
Sorry that I have not well described the structure of the internal table "it_values". This internal table contains several other fields (key, type, value, etc.).
I guess that the following code
SELECT (col_name) INTO TABLE it_values FROM (tbl_name).
works if the internal table only has one field (value) or the field "value" is in the first position, right?
In this case, I need to fill the "value" field of internal table it_values (ignore the other fields like type, key) with values retrieved from (col_name) of the DDIC table.
Looking forward to your reply.
BR,
Joon Meng

Using alias name from view

Can I create somehow a view like this one:
CREATE VIEW clerk_view AS
   SELECT employee_id as ei, last_name as ln, department_id as di
   FROM employees
   WHERE job_id = 'PU_CLERK' ;and using this view with aliases, e.g.:
select * from clerk_view where ln = 'Mickey';
My Oracle database version is 11.2.0.3
Best.

lesak wrote:
So can you tell me what I'm missing in above CREATE statement? Sorry, no, not without knowing exactly what you're doing. That's why you need to post a complete test script that people can run to re-create the problem. Except for the identifier LN, there's nothing wrong with the code you posted per se , but there could be millions of things wrong with how how you're trying to use it. Even if I could post millions of suggestions, you wouldn';t want to read them all, just to fond the one or two that apply to your case. So way exactly what your case is. Post a complete test script that creates and populates the table (if necessay), calls the view, tries to use the view, and gets the error.
When I create view in the same way in production and use alias name, I've got following error: ORA-00904. Not everyone who wants to help you has all the error codes memorized. That's why you should post the complete error message.
So Oracle don't know that my employee_id or other column have also alias name?!Sure, it will know the alias name. That's exactly what aliases are for.

Writing single query with conflicting WHERE statements

How do I run the following as a single query that will result in a column that pertains to the first block of code and then another column that pertains to the 2nd block of code? The issue is that I need 2 different WHERE statements. So the final output will be patient_id, complete, incomplete.
SELECT patient_id, COUNT(*) AS complete
FROM STATUS
WHERE status = 1
GROUP BY patient_id
ORDER BY patient_id;
SELECT patient_id, COUNT(*) AS incomplete
FROM STATUS
WHERE status = 2
GROUP BY patient_id
ORDER BY patient_id;
Thanks!

I would like to add another column with decile and am struggling as to how to do it. Since I can't reference something in a calculation in the same step, I think I will need a 3rd nesting, but what I haven't figured out is how to get the number of subjects whose ratio is less than that subject's ratio. Right: you can't assign an alias (such as complete or ratio) to a calculated column and use that alias in the same sub-query.
If the calculation isn't very complicated, then you might find it simpler just to repeat the calculation. For example, I think this is what you want:
WITH     got_complete     AS
     SELECT    patient_id
     ,        COUNT ( CASE WHEN status = 1 THEN 1 END )     AS complete
     ,       COUNT ( CASE WHEN status = 2 THEN 1 END )      AS incomplete
     FROM        pt_status
     WHERE        status IN (1,2)
     GROUP BY patient_id
SELECT       patient_id, complete, incomplete
,                                complete / (complete + incomplete)     AS Ratio
,       RANK () OVER ( ORDER BY complete / (complete + incomplete) ) - 1
                                                    AS decile
FROM      got_complete
ORDER BY complete
,            incomplete     DESC
;RANK numbers rows 1, 2, 3, ... If I understand your requirements, you want the numbering to start with 0 (meaning "there are 0 other patients with a lower ratio"), so that's why I subtracted 1.
Depending how you want to handle ties, you may need to add some tie-breaker expressions to the analytic ORDER BY clause, and/or use ROW_NUMBER instead of RANK.
Here, I used the calculation "complete / (complete + incomplete)" in the ratio column, then repeated it in the decile column.
I you want, you can add another sub-query, called got_ratio, which would add the ratio column, but do nothing about the decile column. Then, in the main query, you could use RANK as shown above (or, as you suggested, a scalar sub-query referencing got_ratio) to get the number of other pateient_ids with lower ratios.
On the other hand, you could do this whole job without any sub-queries, using AVG as I did earlier, and then repeating that same AVG expression in the ORDER BY clause for RANK. Aggregate functions are computed before analytic fucntions, so the analytic RANK can referenece the aggregate AVG.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and also post the results you want from that data. Include examples of decile ties (2 or more patients with the same ratio).
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.

How can I use an IF ELSE statement and the xdoxslt: get_variable together?

First of all, I'm a big fan of this forum and I just want to thank the community for helping make the BI Publisher world a better place.
I'm trying to populate a table with a years worth of data with the column=PRODUCT and row=month of DATE. Here's the catch, not all of the months will have data. So here's where my problem is, I'm not able to use an IF ELSE statement along with a XDOXSLT:GET_VARIABLE expression so that if there's no data for that month the default value will be 0.
Can someone help me find a solution to either one of the attempts below or a completely new method? Thanks!
BP4 = numeric month value using DATE (more code to pull only month from DATE not included here)
JAN1 = PRICE if data exists, else 0
1) I tried this and it didn't work:
<?if: xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'BP4'),01 then xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'JAN1',PRICE) else xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'JAN1',0) end if?>
<?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'JAN1')?>
<?end if?>
2) I tried this and it didn't work:
<?xdoxslt:ifelse(xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'BP4')='01',xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'JAN1',PRICE),xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'JAN1',0))?>

Edited by: 990965 on Feb 28, 2013 8:27 AM

let me clarify my logic, the template 1) searches for the relevant PRODUCT (in the case below, it searches for BPD which is the column in the table) 2) searches for the relevant month in DATE (which is the row in the table) 3) if data exists, get PRICE else default to 0
Variable definitions:
BP4 = numeric month value from DATE (more code to get this value not included here, but it works...)
JAN1 = set to PRICE if data exists for that month, else 0
the query is only pulling all of the existing data, so if there's no data for March then there wouldn't be a March entry in the xml. In the sample xml below, we only have data for the first two months (Jan, Feb) so that's the only data in the xml. I can't check if PRICE is null because the xml will not have any data for March.
I've read through other threads and it seems that BI Publisher can't use an IF THEN ELSE with the XDOXSLT:GET_VARIABLE. I sent the template and xml to you.

How to use alias in "From" field when I send a mail with utl_smtp ?

Hi all,
I'm using a PL/SQL package with an Oracle 11G database to send mails. It works fine but instead of use of my mail in "From" field like "[email protected]" as sender E-mail address, I would like to have "Toto" in the sender address. I tryied to use utl_smtp.mail(l_connection, '<toto> [email protected]') but it doesn't work. The only way I can send mail is when I set utl_smtp.mail(l_connection, '<[email protected]>') directly. When I use the Alias, I have an error from smtp server telling that I use a bad syntax address.
Does someone know how to use the alias ? Where do I do a mistake ?
Thank you for your help.
sis2b

Thank you, I find how to solve the problem thanks to your link.
I try to send HTML E-mail so I had the From in the from field writen in the header of the mail and not to initialize the connection.

Query WHERE statement to compare db record date pt 2

I'm sorry, I hit the answered button on my last post. I didn't mean to. I have been working on this code and have gotten closer to the solution. I just need to tweek out the WHERE statement to get rid of the time from the output, and I believe my cfif needs a little work to allow it to be taken into the actually dates. I cfdumped my variables from my query and finally got an output and not an [empty string]. This is my code now, and I will leave in the cfdump and abort tags so you can see where I put them:
<cfquery name="CaleventRec" datasource="#APPLICATION.dataSource#">

WHERE eventDate Between #NextMonthYear# and #NextMonth# AND eventDate >= #dateFormat(Days, 'dd')#

the output from the cfdump is this: the first event date in the month of june.
I need this to match the thisday part of the code in the cfloop function through the days of the week.
Can anyone help me figure this part out?
thank you, and really sorry about the 2nd post. I just woke up and hit the wrong button. again, really sorry all.

This is a small calendar. it will move to the next month at the end of this one, it can also go to the next month with a next / prev button that will let you go as far as you want. It is like all we have seen before. What I need to do it get the eventDate in my DB, that is set as date and put in as mm/dd/yyyy now, basically what I believe the query needs to do it to not only tell what month the calendar is on, but it needs to match any db records with any of the days in that month. Say we are in June: I have 3 records in June, on the 5th, 20th, and 26th. In all the 31 days in the month of June, just those 3 will show a link with an ID to the record that matches in the DB.
I had it narrowed down with that query, but lose the variable once I try and cfif it. So I knew either my query is wrong, or my cfif is, probably both.
does that help? can I make this work? am I even close?
thank you.

Using procedure in SELECT statement

I have a select statement that currently uses 4 functions to receive necessary values. All the functions are recursive and returns values from the same row.
What I would like to do is replace these for function calls with 1 procedure. Does anybody know if it possible to use a procedure in this way inside a select statement?
If so, do you have the syntax for doing this?
E.g
SELECT
Mdbrd_Pkg.calculate_fixed_charge_fn(in_rc_id, ap.CONFIGSET_ID) AS FIXED_CHARGE,
Mdbrd_Pkg.calculate_charge_rate_fn(in_rc_id, ap.CONFIGSET_ID) AS CHARGE_RATE,
Mdbrd_Pkg.tax_liable_fn(in_rc_id, ap.CONFIGSET_ID) AS TAX_LIABLE,
Mdbrd_Pkg.charge_unit_fn( in_rc_id, ap.CONFIGSET_ID) AS CHARGEUNIT_ID
FROM .....

This cannot be done. The part of the function used in the SELECT statement is the return value: procedures don't have return values (that's what makes tham procedures and not functions).
Obviously I don't know what your code does, but you should consider putting them into a single function that returns a TYPE with four attributes and then using the TABLE() function to cast them into something you could reference in the FROM clause of a correlated sub-query. Sounds a bit messy though.
Do these functions actually select data? Where does the recursion fit in?

Using function in where clause

I have created a function as follows
create or replace FUNCTION get_codes RETURN varchar2 IS
scodes varchar2(50) := 'A1,A2';
BEGIN
scodes := '('''||REPLACE(scodes,',',''',''')||''')';
return scodes;
END;
this function returns ('A1','A2')
now i want to use this in where clause, both below statements fetches no rows
select * from tablea where code in (select get_codes from dual);
select * from tablea where code in get_codes;
but the following will fetch rows
select * from tablea where code in ('A1','A2')
how to use function in where clause
Thanks

Hi,
The code that works:
where code in ('A1','A2')is testing whther code is either of two 2-character strings, A1 or A2.
The ones that don't work, such as:
where code in get_codes;are comparing code to one 9-character string: 'A1','A2', where characters 1, 4, 6 and 9 are single-quotes. (The function can only return one value.)
You can use dynamic SQL to embed that 9-character string in part of your query, where it will be interpreted as two 2-character strrings.
[Oracle Base|http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/DynamicInLists.php] and AskTom have good pages on the subject of dynamic IN-lists.
Of you can use INSTR or LIKE:
where INSTR ( get_codes
, '''' || code || ''''
) > 0

Use variable in SQL statement

HI guys:
I need code three SQL statements.the returned field and selected table are all same,there is only a difference in their "where" statement.
Sample code:
    select marcmatnr marcwerks
    into table it_data
    from MARC inner join MBEW on marcmatnr = mbewmatnr
    where marcmatnr like 'A%' and mbewzplp1 = '001'.
    second one........................ mbew~zplp2 = '001'
    third one......................... mbew~zplp3 = '001'
Could I write a FORM gather them with transporting a parameter ZPLPX to determine which condiniton will be execute?
thank you very much.

Hi tianli,
1. source text
   This concept of dynamic where
   condition is called source text.
2. use like this.
   This is important in the code ---> WHERE (mywhere).
REPORT abc LINE-SIZE 80.
DATA : it_data LIKE TABLE OF mara WITH HEADER LINE.
QUOTES ARE IMPORTANT
PERFORM mysql USING 'mbew~zplp2 = ''001'''.
FORM mysql USING mywhere.
SELECT marcmatnr marcwerks
INTO TABLE it_data
FROM marc INNER JOIN mbew ON marcmatnr = mbewmatnr
WHERE (mywhere).
ENDFORM.                    "mysql
regards,
amit m.

@ALIAS in FIX Statement

Hi,
Can I use @ALIAS function in FIX statement? When i try to do it it says "Error: 1200315 Error parsing formula for [FIX STATEMENT] (line 1): invalid object type". If not is there any work around for it?
Thanks.

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for the swift reply.
Here is my scenario, we do end of week analysis and our period dimension is as below,
2010 (~) <20> (Label Only)
2010-05-19 (~) (Alias: Week_3_May)
2010-05-12 (~) (Alias: Week_2_May)
2010-05-05 (~) (Alias: Week_1_May)
2010-04-28 (~) (Alias: Week_4_April)
2010-04-21 (~) (Alias: Week_3_April)
2010-04-14 (~) (Alias: Week_2_April)
and there is a different calculation for every week. So what I am trying to do is having a substitution variable CurrMnth with value "May" and then in the calculation use the @CONCATENATE("Week_3_",&CurrMnth) and do the endof week calculation on that member. Does that work?
If not is there any function we can pick the first member, second member etc individually under a parent?
