Using MAX on an INNER JOIN

Is there any way to use MAX on an INNER JOIN???
I am getting the MAX Date row on a previous INNER JOIN and then I want to use that result row to get an Account Balance. I know it's hard to explain without the SQL but I'll try...
So I want the MAX(BILLHDR.dt_bill)'s Account Balance...
SELECT PYMTADJ.ky_payment_adjustment,
PYMTADJ.ky_enroll,
PYMTADJ.dt_payment_adjustment,
PYMTADJ.at_payment_adjustment,
MAX(BILLHDR.dt_bill) Last_Bill_Date,
MAX(BILLHDR.dt_reading_from) "Last Bill Period From Date",
MAX(BILLHDR.dt_reading_to) "Last Bill Period To Date",
BILLHDR2.at_bill_account_balance
FROM PVIEW.PAYMENT_ADJUSTMENT PYMTADJ
LEFT OUTER JOIN PVIEW.BILL_HDR BILLHDR
ON PYMTADJ.ky_enroll = BILLHDR.ky_enroll
AND BILLHDR.dt_bill <= '15-Jun-2009'
INNER JOIN PVIEW.BILL_HDR BILLHDR2
ON BILLHDR.ky_enroll = BILLHDR2.ky_enroll
AND MAX(BILLHDR.dt_bill) = BILLHDR2.dt_bill
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.

About a question using Update ... inner join ?

select *
FROM a
INNER JOIN b ON a.ProductID=b.ProductID
WHERE a.HeadID='000246'
this statement is ok ;
But the following statement does not work ! Why ?
UPDATE a SET
a.Quantity=a.PurchaseQuantity/b.ConversionGene
FROM a
INNER JOIN b ON a.ProductID=b.ProductID
WHERE a.HeadID='000246'

"Because Oracle syntactically does not support that type of construct..." Is a correct statement, but not because "It expects only one table in UPDATE statement". The synatax for an updateable join in Oracle requires a "proper" in-line view to be updated.
As long as the table joined (in my example t1) has a declared unique constraint on the columns used to join by (in my example id), you can do it like:
SQL> SELECT * FROM t;
        ID DESCR
         1 One
         2 Two
         3 Three
SQL> SELECT * FROM t1;
        ID DESCR2
         1 Un
         2 Deux
SQL> UPDATE (SELECT t.descr, t1.descr2
2          FROM t
3             JOIN t1 ON t.id = t1.id)
4 SET descr = descr2;
2 rows updated.
SQL> SELECT * FROM t;
        ID DESCR
         1 Un
         2 Deux
         3 ThreeTTFN

Regarding : What is used in place of inner join

hi,
i want to know that we use to have inner joins in our reports and i want to know is there anything which can be used in place of it?

Hi,
In place of inner join you can use FOR ALL ENTRIES.

Using MANDT field in Inner joins

Experts,
I need your suggestions on using MANDT field in JOINS. Example
Select afield1 afield2 b~field1 from table1 as a
inner join table 2 b on amandt = bmandt
afield1 = bfield1
where......
Will it be a performance issue if I use the join without MANDT field?
Anand

probably stated in the note:
mandt in the WHERE condition is automatically added, but not in ON-condition.
Some databases had problems to figure out, that the mandit is always the same, i.e. did not use an index on second table. So adding mandt in ON condition can have impacts. In newer database releases this is no problem anymore. But anyway, the additional line in the ON-condition is no big deal.

Help: Modifying inner join

Hello Folks,
I have an Access Query and am rewriting the whole query in Oracle to run a report.The thing is Am a beginner in oracle and am scratching my head on how to modify this inner join. please help me in rewriting this inner join in oracle. thanks a million
   ((Debtor INNER JOIN MAX_TRANS_DATE AS MAX_TRANS_DATE_1 ON Debtor .
        EVENT_ID = MAX_TRANS_DATE_1.EVENT_ID) INNER JOIN
        TMP$ALL_RECOVERY_TYPE
        ON(Debtor . EVENT_CASE_ID = TMP$ALL_RECOVERY_TYPE . EVENT_CASE_ID) AND
        (Debtor . EVENT_ID = TMP$ALL_RECOVERY_TYPE . EVENT_ID))
INNER JOIN CUBS TRANSACTIONS
    ON (Debtor . EVENT_ID = CUBS TRANSACTIONS . EVENT_ID)
   AND (Debtor . EVENT_CASE_ID = CUBS TRANSACTIONS . EVENT_CASE_ID)

Thanks for getting back. But still am unable to get the correct data. I will try to break it down.
Microsoft Access Table MAX_TRANS_DATE menitoned above in the inner join was originally coming from table called TRANSACTIONS i.e.( MAX_TRANS_DATE = SELECT [Transactions].[EVENT_ID], Max([Transactions].[TRANSDATE]) AS MaxOfTRANSDATE
FROM Debtor INNER JOIN Transactions ON [Debtor].[EVENT_ID]=[Transactions].[EVENT_ID]
GROUP BY [Transactions].[EVENT_ID];
Here the problem is am recreating the access database query in oracle database and we dont have MAX_TRANS_DATE in the Oracle database but we do have TRANSACTIONS table.
So i just used TRANSACTIONS in the inner join instead of MAX_TRANS_DATE.
But the result is wrong.The Field Transdate from TRANSACTIONS is pulling dates as 10/5/2006 instead of 02/01/2010. I suspect something is wrong with the joins.Please help me. I can provide the old access query and the new oracle query that i have created.
Thanks

Bind variables in inner join queries

Hi all,
can we use bind variables in inner join queries?
eg:
INNER JOIN PRTY_LOC_CODE_T plc ON (ppt.PRTY_REC_ID = plc.PRTY_REC_ID and plc.HIST_CTRL_IND = *0*_ and plc.DEL_IND = *'N'*_)
regards
sunil

Dear,
can we use bind variables in inner join queries?Where are you using this join? if in a stored procedure or stored function than you don't have to care about your variables. It will be automatically considered as a bind variable
within your static SQL (i.e in your stored procedure)
Hope this helps

Problem when doing inner join for three tables....

DATA: V3 TYPE VBAP-MAKTL.
SELECT single vbap~matkl into V3
       from VBAP
       inner join VBFA
       inner join LIPS
          on LIPSPOSNR = VBFAPOSNN
          and vbapvbeln = vbfavbelv
           and vbapposnr = vbfaposnv
             where LIPSVBELN = VBFAVBELN = '0080000834'
             and vbfa~vbtyp_n = 'J'
             and LIPS~J_3ASIZE = '0884'.
Error: Wrong expression "INNER" in from clause...

Hello Tushar,
Why you are using the 3 table inner join. If the volume of data is big then this statement will give to time out. Use "for all entries" statement to select the data from the table.
Like
select field1 field2 from LIPS into i_lips
    where LIPS~J_3ASIZE = '0884'.
select f3 f4 from vbfa into i_vbfa for all entries in i_lips where field1 = i_lips-field1 and so on
and
use same to select data from VBAP.
Hope this will help

Relationship between tables while using inner joins.

Hi,
I had a few clarifications on "inner joins", and as i was going through the forum, i came across two points,
1. In one of the threads it said " inner joins is applicable for tables that have a parent child relationship.
2. In another thread it said " inner join is established from master table (the table on the left) to the transcation table (the table on the right)".
I have two clarifications based on the above points.
1. Is it necessary that the tables on which im performing an inner join should have a parent-child/children relationship or is it enough that the tables just have a common field.
2. Also is it necessary that the master table should come first, (or can i use any child table from where i can fetch the records when there is a mater table in my report) as shown below.
Eg: select * <fields> from <master table> inner join <table> on <field> into <itab>.

Why can't i use "INNER JOIN" in a query for SQL Server with JDBC??????

Hi,
I'm trying to execute some SQL queries and I just don't understand what's wrong.
I�m using Tomcat and SQL Server in order to do this, but when I�m try to execute a query with a INNER JOIN statements Tomcat raise a SQL exception... at the very first time I thought there was a problem with database connection but I realize that a simple query to a table works pretty well. then I found out some problems with JDBC:ODBC.... so I install JDBC for SQL Server 2000 and test with the same simple query and works..... so, I come to a conclusion.... INNER JOIN or JOIN statements can't be used in JDBC..... please... somebody tell I�m wrong and give me a hand...
I'm using TOMCAT 4 and JDK 1.4 SQL Server 2000
Error occurs when executeQuery() is called.... not prepareStatement().... ??????
Driver DriverRecResult = (Driver)Class.forName(driver).newInstance();
Connection ConnRecResult = DriverManager.getConnection(DSN,user,password);
PreparedStatement StatementRecResult = ConnRecResult.prepareStatement(query);
ResultSet RecResult = StatementRecResult.executeQuery(); <---- Exception raise here
So much tahnks in advance,

That's exactly what I think, driver it's raising the exception, but I don't know why.... i test the same query with INNER JOIN directly from SQL Query Analyser and it's works perfectly, my problem ain't SQL, but JSP and JDBC 'cause i'm a newbie about these issues.
Common sense tell me possible problems lie in SQLServer drivers 'cause i run the same pages on JRUN through jdbc:odbc and do works well, but by now i just depend on Tomcat.....
I've installed SQL Server drivers for JDBC but i just find it doesn't work fully... could be the version of JDK i've installed? what version do i need?
( I'm running Tomcat 4 with JDK 1.4 & SQL Server 2000 W2K )
thanks for reply.

My requirement is to use INNER JOIN with variable table

hi slam,
chk this sample code.
hi,
table emp
empno name
a sasi
b xxx
c yyy
table sal
empno salary
a 1000
b 2000
Inner join
select eempno ename
s~sal
into table int_table
from emp as e
inner join sal as s
on
eempno = sempno.
if you made inner join between table a and b by emp no
the selection retrives only if the condition satisfy the output will be

Inner join query used with 7 Database tables

HI All,
In a report they used the Inner join Query with 6 Data base table..now there is a performance issue with at query.
its taking so much of time to trigger that query. Please help how to avoid that performance issue for that.
In that 2 database tables containing lakhs of records..
According to my knowledge it can be avoided by using secondary indexs for those 2 database tables..
and by replacing the Inner join Query with FOR ALL ENTRIES statement.
i want how to use the logic by using FORALL ENTRIES statement for this..
So, please give you proper suggestion to avoid this issue..
Thanking you.

Hi,
And what do you mean with "they used"? If "SAP used" then yo will need to ask a SAP for note
FOR ALL ENTRIES is quite good described in help. Please search forum also.
Without query it won't be possible to tell how it can be optimized, however you can try to use SE30/SAT and ST05. Maybe it will help you.

Quick question - what's preventing your from using built-in functions?
I suggest mapping your Time Dim to a standard Time Dim and work with it - you'll save a lot more time. You'd even need this table if you wanted to work around Todate/AGO.
It is possible to model this functionality w/o functions, but it'll be time consuming task, similar to using Time Series Wizard in Siebel Analytics. You'll need to build aliases and views along with some complex joins (such as TIME.KEY=TIME.KEY-365), introduce a bunch of variables to control. Also, you might not get much flexibility in terms of years. For each year, you'd need an alias table. (TIME_DIM_PY).

Drag-n-n-drop query joins uses WHERE, not INNER JOIN syntax

When I highlight a few tables and drag them onto the sql worksheet, it will build a select statement for me and join the tables by their foreign keys.
That's a nice feature, thanks!
Three questions. Is it possible to:
1. get it to use the INNER JOIN and LEFT OUTER JOIN syntax instead of joining the tables in the WHERE clause?
2. control the table aliases so that it will automatically use the "standard alias" for the table instead of A, B, C, etc.?
3. get it to not put the schema name into the query?
Thanks!

Hi Gopi,
Your code is Good.
But try to avoid Inner join with more number of Tables ...because this is a performance issue..
try to use..
select (primary key fields mainly,other fields) from LIKP into itab where bolnr in p_bolnr(paramater).
next try to use for all entries option..
select (primary key fields mainly,other fields) from VBFA for all entries in itab where (give the condition)....
simillarly do for the other select ....ok this will try to reduce the performance issue....
