Using LIKE in Select query

Hi experts,
I am writing a Function module to get data from a table.
Import :
desc TYPE ZTABLE-DESCRIPTION.
Now when desc = te*
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '*' IN
       desc WITH '%' .
SELECT *
    FROM ZTABLE
    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE t_list WHERE DESCRIPTION LIKE desc.
.. With is the table fetches all records where description starts with " te " .. here te is case senstive
So if description is "Test " or " TEST " or "tE" ......... so on.. i want this like to be made case in sensitive
Coz user can search as per his/her way...
Regards,
Bijal

e_sel-sign = 'I'.
e_sel-option = 'BT'.
e_sel-low = 'te%'.
e_sel-high = 'TE%'.
APPEND e_sel TO i_sel .clear e_sel.
e_sel-sign = 'I'.
e_sel-option = 'BT'.
e_sel-low = 'tE%'.
e_sel-high = 'Te%'.
APPEND e_sel TO i_sel .clear e_sel.
SELECT *
FROM ztable
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE t_list
WHERE description IN i_sel.
or
SELECT *
FROM ztable
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE t_list
WHERE description+0(2) in ( 'te%', 'TE%' , 'Te%', 'tE%').

I am stucking at :
b.prodname like
(select company name from companyms
where <some comdition>
i.e. how do I give select query with like operator.
In above query I want b.prodname like above and those company name for which I am giving condition. Company names are stored in other table and I want to select and use them with like operator.
Thanks.

create table stock

How can i use index in select query.. facing problem with the select query.

Hi Friends,
I am facing a serious problem in one of the select query. It is taking a lot of time to fetch data in Production Scenario.
Here is the query:
SELECT * APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE tbl_summary
    FROM ztftelat LEFT JOIN ztfzberep
     ON ztfzberep~gjahr = st_input-gjahr
     AND ztfzberep~poper = st_input-poper
     AND ztfzberepcntr = ztftelatrprctr
    WHERE rldnr = c_telstra_accounting
      AND rrcty = c_actual
      AND rvers = c_ver_001
      AND rbukrs = st_input-bukrs
      AND racct = st_input-saknr
      AND ryear = st_input-gjahr
      And rzzlstar in r_lstar
      AND rpmax = c_max_period.
There are 5 indices present for Table ZTFTELAT.
Indices of ZTFTELAT:
Name   Description
0        Primary key( RCLNT,RLDNR,RRCTY,RVERS,RYEAR,ROBJNR,SOBJNR,RTCUR,RUNIT,DRCRK,RPMAX)
005    Profit (RCLNT,RPRCTR)
1        Ledger, company code, account (RLDNR,RBUKRS, RACCT)
2        Ledger, company code, cost center (RLDNR, RBUKRS,RCNTR)
3        Account, cost center (RACCT,RCNTR)
4        RCLNT/RLDNR/RRCTY/RVERS/RYEAR/RZZAUFNR
Z01    Activity Type, Account (RZZLSTAR,RACCT)
Z02    RYEAR-RBUKRS- RZZZBER-RLDNR
Can anyone help me out why it is taking so much time and how we can reduce it ? and also tell me if I want to use index number 1 then how can I use?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shiva,
I am using two more select queries with the same manner ....
here are the other two select query :
***************1************************
SELECT * APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE tbl_summary
    FROM ztftelpt LEFT JOIN ztfzberep
     ON ztfzberep~gjahr = st_input-gjahr
     AND ztfzberep~poper = st_input-poper
     AND ztfzberepcntr = ztftelptrprctr
    WHERE rldnr = c_telstra_projects
      AND rrcty = c_actual
      AND rvers = c_ver_001
      AND rbukrs = st_input-bukrs
      AND racct = st_input-saknr
      AND ryear = st_input-gjahr
      and rzzlstar in r_lstar
      AND rpmax = c_max_period.
and the second one is
*************************2************************

      AND ryear = st_input-gjahr
      and rzzlstar in r_lstar
      AND rpmax = c_max_period.
for both the above table program is taking very less time .... although both the table used in above queries have similar amount of data. And i can not remove the APPENDING CORRESPONDING. because i have to append the data after fetching from the tables. if i will not use it will delete all the data fetched earlier.
Thanks on advanced......

How to use offset in select query

Suppose i have data like ssonje     00000001 as a one field in database table . i have to segregate this two data. how should I do this.the first part is of 12 characters and the last is of 10 character long.

Hi Naveen,
I am again in trouble, Now the requirement were changed. I am sending you the code which i had implemented.
Now, the user enter username(ie UNAMED) and document id (ie. TEMPD) and the output should be doucment id, which has been search through database table RFDT , field SRTFD, this field contains both the username and the document id.
That means: suppose user enters UNAMED as SSONJE and TEMPD as 0000000030, then i want to fier the select query from RFDT on field SRTFD and get only the document id of that user which user enter on input field-UNAMED.
i had tried but result were not coming.
please go through the code.
data:uname type UF05A-UNAMD.
data:temp type UF05A-TEMPD.
TYPES: BEGIN OF TEITAB_RFDT,
       SRTFD TYPE RFDT-SRTFD,
       END OF TEITAB_RFDT.
DATA: ITAB_RFDT TYPE TABLE OF TEITAB_RFDT.
DATA: WA_RFDT TYPE TEITAB_RFDT.
DATA: STR(22) TYPE c.
SELECT-OPTIONS:UNAMED FOR uname,
TEMPD FOR TEMP.
UNAMED-option = 'CP'.
append UNAMED.
CONCATENATE UNAMED TEMPD INTO STR.
SELECT SRTFD FROM RFDT INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB_RFDT WHERE SRTFD eq str.
LOOP AT ITAB_RFDT INTO WA_RFDT.
SPLIT WA_RFDT AT SPACE INTO STR1 STR2.
WRITE: / STR1,STR2.
ENDLOOP.
Please mentioned what is the way to do this.
Thanks

Using LIKE in SELECT ..... WHERE

Hi,
    I need to do pattern matching during SELECT so that a table field contains or is the same as an input variable. How can I accomplish this?
Regards,
Nanditha

Here is the "help" for the syntax of LIKE in SELECT statement.
<i>
f [NOT] LIKE g
Addition:
... ESCAPE h
Effect
The condition is met for a table entry if the statement "f (does not) equal the pattern in g" is true for the values of f and g. f must always be a field descriptor, and g an ABAP field. If f has the value NULL, then the result of the check for the statement is unknown. Within a pattern, there are two special characters:
'_' (underscore) stands for any single character.
'%' (percentage sign) stands for any sequence of characters, including an empty string.
Examples
Example to select all customers whose name begins with 'M':
TABLES SCUSTOM.
SELECT ID NAME FROM SCUSTOM
       INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF SCUSTOM
       WHERE NAME LIKE 'M%'.
WRITE: / SCUSTOM-ID, SCUSTOM-NAME.
ENDSELECT.
Example to select all customers whose name contains 'huber':
TABLES SCUSTOM.
SELECT ID NAME FROM SCUSTOM
       INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF SCUSTOM
       WHERE NAME LIKE '%huber%'.
WRITE: / SCUSTOM-ID, SCUSTOM-NAME.
ENDSELECT.
Example to select all customers whose name does not contain 'n' as the second character:
TABLES SCUSTOM.
SELECT ID NAME FROM SCUSTOM
       INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF SCUSTOM
       WHERE NAME NOT LIKE '_n%'.
WRITE: / SCUSTOM-ID, SCUSTOM-NAME.
ENDSELECT.
Notes
LIKE can only be used for alphanumeric database fields. In other words, table field f must have Dictionary type ACCP, CHAR, CLNT, CUKY, LCHR, NUMC, UNIT, VARC, TIMS or DATS. The comparison field g must always have type C.
The maximum length of the pattern is 2n - 1 characters, where n is the length of field f.
Trailing spaces are ignored in comparison field g. If a pattern contains trailing spaces, you must enclose it in single inverted commas ('). If your pattern is enclosed in inverted commas and you also want to include inverted commas as part of the pattern, the inverted commas in the pattern must be doubled.
You cannot use this variant in the ON addition to the FROM clause.

Need to use Hint for Select Query 11g

Hi,
I have a select query which is fetching data from multiple table.
I just need 10 or less rows, already I m using rownum <=10
Could you tell which is the better choice for using HINT.
/*+ FIRST_ROWS(10) */ (or) /*+ all_rows */
Thanks.

On Oracle 11.2.0.3 and 11.1.0.7 on my test table with an ORDER BY in the query, I found FIRST_ROWS using the index to get sorted rows and ALL_ROWS retrieving 10 rows from a full scan and then sorting them.
On Oracle I didn't find any difference in plan on a different, physically smaller, table.
For the ALL_ROWS version the optimiser already knows that there will only be 10 rows returned.
The performance difference: As usual, only use FIRST_ROWS if you actually intend to fetch less than the full data set. If you intend to fetch all 10 rows, use ALL_ROWS, which should be the default (taken from the optimizer_mode system parameter).

(view hint or Query writing method) using views in Select Query

Need Assistance,
Hi all,
My database having many views. while i am joining the views in a select query increase the cost of the querys due to the complex joins in the conditions.
While checking the select query with views individualy taking less cost.
Does any hint or query writing method is availabe to avoid the merging of the execution plan of the views?
I have browsed many related to the mentioned issues,couldn't found any thing that helps me.
Please help me on this issue,it will be very much helpfull for me.
Thanks,
Senthur

Please read the two threads linked to in the FAQ: {message:id=9360003} and post the relevant details they request, so that people can help you better with your issue.
We cannot help if you just say "my query is slow what do I do to fix it" as we cannot see your queries, your data, or any other information we would need to help. If the answer was that simple, it would be built into oracle so that the optimiser would fix it for you.

CreateNativeQuery using parameter in select LIKE statement

Can I use setParameter on native query (createNativeQuery) using LIKE in select statement?
I have the following code and it doesn't work:
Query qry = manager.createNativeQuery("Select * from Type as t where t.typeid LIKE '%?1%'", Type.class);
qry.setParameter(1, "2");
Thanks.

You could do this using the CONCAT function (+ ||, depending on the database). i.e. concat '%' + ?1 + '%'. You can do this in a native query, but JPQL does not allow functions in like (although some providers may support it). If your using TopLink Essentials or (TopLink/EclipseLink) you can do this using an Expression query.
But, in general it may be better and easier to just concat "%" to your argument.

Joining two tables having no common fields using one select query

Hi Experts,
How to join two tables which are NOT having any field in common using only one select query?
Your help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Identify a third table (or more tables) with common fields with your two tables, or change your question either removing JOIN or removing NO COMMON FIELDS, else you wont get many responses and will be left alone in outer space, as suggested by Thomas.
If you acturally require what you written, better execute two select and merge the two internal tables merging every record from first table with every record of second table, til no more memory is available.

Reg select query problem

hi all,
hope all r doing fine?
anyway i have a query which is mentioned below:-
select field1,.....fieldn
         from <dbtable1>
         into corresponding fields of table itab
         where <condition>.
select field1,...fieldn
          from <dbtable2>
         appending corresponding fields of table itab
        where <condition>.
the above two select stmts retrieve same set of fields from two different database tables into same internal table itab..
now my question is ...........is any other way to change 2nd select statement without using appending correspondin fields
but the functionality should remain the same as it is after changing..................
bcos appending corresponding is causing performance problem in data retrieval.
thanx alot in advance.
for sure points will be given for all the helpful answers
Jack

Hi,
You can use like that:
select field1,.....fieldn
from <dbtable1>
into corresponding fields of table itab1
where <condition>.
select field1,...fieldn
from <dbtable2>
appending corresponding fields of table itab2
where <condition>.
now u use:
loop at itab2 into w_itab2.
read table itab1 into w_itab1 with key w_itab1-<primary field> = w_itab2-<Primary field>.
if sy-subrc = 0.
append w_final into i_final.
else continue.
endif.
endloop.
*i_final table having all data ( i.e itab2 & itab1 data)

Unexpected behavior on 5.1.19 Select query

Hello There,
We are seeing an unexpected behavior on 11.2.5.1.19 where we are expecting our query should response “X” number of records while it response us back with less number of records in some situation. While looking to the change log we did notice that a fix has been added to 11.2.5.1.25 as follows:
“Fixed a bug that would return DB_NOTFOUND while searching for an existing item using a cursor on a non-sorted duplicate btree database. [#19210]”
We were wondering whether that fix could resolve this issue or not? If yes, is there a way we can get a Patch to apply and validate so that we can move to 11.2.5.1.25 or newer versions.
Here is what we are doing, Within an application we have two threads, One is Inserting/Updating record in the table while the other one is selecting, and all DB operations are done in transaction. Select thread comes after certain time whenever a condition is satisfied. Although it work fine most of the time but there are situation where select response with fewer records that we expected, that causes our program to died as expected. However, if we query the Database (using dbsql) after the application died using the same select query/criteria we could able to select the exact same number of records that we were expecting to see. We are not sure what is going wrong here, any help is appreciated.
Regards & Thanks

Hi Rittick,
I have made some modifications to the example program ex_sql_multi_thread.c,
based on the information you sent in email. So far I can not reproduce the
problem either. This does look like something we have seen before:
Berkeley DB lost data sometimes when I ran the example ex_sql_multi_thread
but it is difficult to pinpoint without an exact reproducer. One thought is
if you can try the application with the latest Berkeley DB release which
is: 5.3.15. Some race conditions were fixed in that release and since you can
reproduce the behavior with 5.1 and 5.2 you should be able to verify if
it is present or not in 5.3.15.
Thanks,
Sandra
