Using order by in the select query

Hi All,
I have query in which I need the latest record. To get the latest record, I can
1) Select all entries into an internal table and sort them descending and get the first one
2) Select all entries into an internal table and order by in the select statement itself.
Then read the first one.
Which approach should be better as for as the performance is concern.
The query is on MKPF table and I have the material document number. I need the latest entry.
Regards,
Shahu

Hi,
The first one would be better.At the most we should not use order by in select statement bcoz it directly sorts the data according to that in database itself reverting performance issues.
Otherwise you can use select max* if records are less.
Reward points if helpful.
Thanks,

When am I sopposed to use capital characters in the select query?

I am using worksheet to do some query to the oracle 9i, sometimes, I must use the capital character, small characters does not work, when should I use the capital? for example,
select * from dba_indexes where owner = 'USER1' is working
select * from dba_indexes where owner = 'user1' is not working
why is that?

why is that?Rule 1) Stuff outside the quotes will be converted to upper case automatically.
Rule 2) Stuff inside the quotes is taken literally (exactly the way you provide it).
Rule 3) When puttng stuff inside the quotes, you need to be aware of what you are looking for.
In this case you are looking for the contents of the owner column. And the owner column is part of the dictionary. The rule for dictionary contents is simple - it's always uppoer case unless the developer was foolish enough to force it into mixed case by overriding Rule 1).

Using case when statement in the select query to create physical table

Hello,
I have a requirement where in I have to execute a case when statement with a session variable while creating a physical table using a select query. let me explain with an example.
I have a physical table based on a select table with one column.
SELECT 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.NAME_PARAMETER)' AS NAME_PARAMETER FROM DUAL. Let me call this table as the NAME_PARAMETER table.
I also have a customer table.
In my dashboard that has two pages, Page 1 contains a table with the customer table with column navigation to my second dashboard page.
In my second dashboard page I created a dashboard report based on NAME_PARAMETER table and a prompt based on customer table that sets the NAME_ PARAMETER request variable.
EXECUTION
When i click on a particular customer, the prompt sets the variable NAME_PARAMETER and the NAME_PARAMETER table shows the appropriate customer.
everything works as expected. YE!!
Now i created another table called NAME_PARAMETER1 with a little modification to the earlier table. the query is as follows.
SELECT CASE WHEN 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.NAME_PARAMETER)'='Customer 1' THEN 'TEST_MART1' ELSE TEST_MART2' END AS NAME_PARAMETER
FROM DUAL
Now I pull in this table into the second dashboard page along with the NAME_PARAMETER table report.
surprisingly, NAME_PARAMETER table report executes as is, but the other report based on the NAME_PARAMETER1 table fails with the following error.
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: S1000 code: 1756 message: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated. [nQSError: 16014] SQL statement preparation failed. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SET VARIABLE NAME_PARAMETER='Novartis';SELECT NAME_PARAMETER.NAME_PARAMETER saw_0 FROM POC_ONE_DOT_TWO ORDER BY saw_0
If anyone has any explanation to this error and how we can achieve the same, please help.
Thanks.

Hello,
Updates :) sorry.. the error was a stupid one.. I resolved and I got stuck at my next step.
I am creating a physical table using a select query. But I am trying to obtain the name of the table dynamically.
Here is what I am trying to do. the select query of the physical table is as follows.
SELECT CUSTOMER_ID AS CUSTOMER_ID, CUSTOMER_NAME AS CUSTOMER_NAME FROM 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.SCHEMA_NAME)'.CUSTOMER.
The idea behind this is to obtain the data from the same table from different schemas dynamically based on what a session variable. Please let me know if there is a way to achieve this, if not please let me know if this can be achieved in any other method in OBIEE.
Thanks.

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:

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************************
SELECT * APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE tbl_summary
    FROM ztftelnt LEFT JOIN ztfzberep
     ON ztfzberep~gjahr = st_input-gjahr
     AND ztfzberep~poper = st_input-poper
     AND ztfzberepcntr = ztftelntrprctr
    WHERE rldnr = c_telstra_networks
      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.
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......

1. SELECT INTO
Below method will create table when data is inserted from one table to another table. Its useful when you need exactly same datatype as source table.
Use AdventureWorks2008R2;
Go
---Insert data using SELECT INTO
SELECT AddressLine1, City
INTO BothellAddresses
FROM Person.Address
where City = 'Bothell';
GO
---VERIFY DATA
Select AddressLine1, City
FROM BothellAddresses
---DROP TABLE
DROP TABLE BothellAddresses
GO
2. INSERT INTO SELECT
Below method will need table to be created prior to inserting data. Its really useful when table is already created and you want insert data from
another table.
Use AdventureWorks2008R2;
Go
---Create Table
CREATE TABLE BothellAddresses (AddressLine1 NVARCHAR(60), City NVARCHAR(30))
---Insert into above table using SELECT
INSERT INTO BothellAddresses(AddressLine1, City)
SELECT AddressLine1, City
FROM Person.Address
where City = 'Bothell';
---VERIFY DATA
Select AddressLine1, City
FROM BothellAddresses
---DROP TABLE
DROP TABLE BothellAddresses

I have tried using BULK COLLECT instead of cursor for loop but it did not help.

Any ideas what can be done to make this code perform better?
Thanks,

As suggested I'd try merging the queries into a single SQL. You could also rewrite your IN clauses as JOINs and see if that helps, e.g.
SELECT DISTINCT ai.shipper_ind, ai.special_sales_reserve_ind, ai.exe_location_ind
           INTO v_shipper_ind, v_sales_reserve_ind, v_location_indicator
           FROM ah_item ai, ah_item_xref aix, ah_chain_div_facility acdf, ah_div ad
          WHERE ai.item_id_edw = aix.item_id_edw
            AND aix.item_code_cust = rec.item_code_cust
            AND aix.facility_num = acdf.facility_code
            AND acdf.chain_id = ah_internal_data_pkg.get_chain_id (p_file_id)
            AND acdf.div_id = ad.div_id
            AND ad.division = rec.division;ALSO: You are calling ah_internal_data_pkg.get_chain_id (p_file_id) every time. Why not do it outside the loop and just use a variable in the inner query? That will prevent context switching and improve speed.

Need some help with the Select query.

Need some help with the Select query.
I had created a Z table with the following fields :
ZADS :
MANDT
VKORG
ABGRU.
I had written a select query as below :
select single vkorg abgru from ZADS into it_rej.
IT_REJ is a Work area:
DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ,
        VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
        ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
       END OF IT_REJ.
This is causing performance issue. They are asking me to include the where condition for this select query.
What should be my select query here?
Please suggest....
Any suggestion will be apprecaiated!
Regards,
Developer

Hello Everybody!
Thank you for all your response!
I had changes this work area into Internal table and changed the select query. PLease let me know if this causes any performance issues?
I had created a Z table with the following fields :
ZADS :
MANDT
VKORG
ABGRU.
I had written a select query as below :
I had removed the select single and insted of using the Structure it_rej, I had changed it into Internal table
select vkorg abgru from ZADS into it_rej.
Earlier :
IT_REJ is a Work area:
DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ,
VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
END OF IT_REJ.
Now :
DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ occurs 0,
VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
END OF IT_REJ.
I guess this will fix the issue correct?
PLease suggest!

Restricting record in the select query

Is there any way to restrict the number of search (e.g 10) records in the SELECT query ?

Hi,
You can use as below:
select <fieldname> up to 10 rows from <tablename> into itab.

Performance of the select query

i want to know wheter the conversion of the select query
SELECT * FROM mchb
        WHERE matnr EQ mch1-matnr
        AND   charg EQ mch1-charg
        AND   werks EQ plant-werks.
        itab-lgort = mchb-lgort.
        itab-clabs = mchb-clabs.
        APPEND itab.
      ENDSELECT.
into following pattern
select lgort clabs
       from mchb
       into corresponding fields of itab
       WHERE matnr EQ mch1-matnr
       AND   charg EQ mch1-charg
       AND   werks EQ plant-werks.
       ENDSELECT.
will give the same results ?

Hi,
It will results in performance issue because of end select statement.
select lgort clabs
     from mchb
        into table itab
        WHERE matnr EQ mch1-matnr
              AND charg EQ mch1-charg
              AND werks EQ plant-werks.
Use like this you will get the values of lgort and clabs in the internal table itab.
Then use loop statement to use that values further.
Dont use end select it will be a performance issue.
In this code there is no need to use of ENDSELECT and use corresponding fields of table itab.
select lgort clabs
from mchb
into corresponding fields of itab
WHERE matnr EQ mch1-matnr
AND charg EQ mch1-charg
AND werks EQ plant-werks.
ENDSELECT.

Problem in the "select" query....Just check out and help me

Hi there !!

Thanx,

Just so everyone knows:
Ram Mohan joined the forum on 7-Sep-2003 and received
his 25 Dukes for joining.
Since then, he's posted three questions, each one
promising 5-10 Dukes, and never once awarded them.
His strategy seems to be to wave Dukes, ask his
hit-and-run question, and then bolt.
Answer his questions if you wish, but don't do it
expecting Dukes. - MODDuffy, you're getting just as cranky as I have. See what hanging around these forums does to oneself? :)

I want to listen to internet radio as I used to do. The selection "Radio" has gone from my list under "Music". How do I get it back again?

I want to listen to internet radio as I used to do. The selection "Radio" has gone from my list under "Music". How do I get it back again?

I don't know if this is what you really want, but I created a Playlist for Radio, and add some of the stations I like from websites. (If you click on the web-links they load into iTunes in the Sidebar). And you can also add individual Radio stations from the top right,(under Apple) to a Playlist. That's the only way I know to have them in the Sidebar.
Z_ZS-B, You also helped me to find the old Radio list! I didn't even know it was up on the right, under Apple. I haven't liked this version of iTunes so I hadn't even bothered to try and figure it out until now, but because I just bought a my first iPod Shuffle I'm determined to bend this version to my will. ;-)

Duplicate entries missing using for all entries in select query.

Hi Gurus,
Is there any way to avoid missing duplicate entries in an internal table if you use for all entries in select statement?
Note : i am selecting two tables using non key fields and i have to aggregate the data. I want only 2 data fields and one amount field in my final internal table. I can add all the primary key fields into my internal table and collect my required fields in another table, but I just want to know is there any other way to avoid missing duplicate entries without adding all the key fields?
Regards,
Raghavendra

Hi,
Just check what are the other possible fields in the table which may be having
duplicate entries and make use of them in the selection accordingly.
You may not miss any entries unless there is any restriction on them.
You can better judge that in debugging mode while selecting data from that table.

OPEN CURSOR using a WITH clause in the select query

Hi,
I am using Oracle 9i. I have a requirement where I have a REFCURSOR as an OUT parameter for my procedure. I have declared the TYPE and created the procedure.
In the procedure, I am using OPEN <cursor_name> FOR <query>;
Ideally this works in most of the cases that I have tried earlier. However, in the current case I am using a WITH clause in my query to get the results.
I need help in understanding if the above mentioned syntax would not allow me to use the WITH clause in the query.

By using below query i am getting all output as NO. HOw to modify it.
SELECT company,
billing,LastPaymentDate,
CASE
WHEN SUM (DECODE (outs, 'YES', 1, 0)) > 0 THEN 'YES'
ELSE 'NO'
END Outstanding
FROM (
SELECT DISTINCT B_BILLING_KEY,
to_char(to_date('01/'||trim(substr(B_REPORT_PERIOD,5,2))||'/'||
trim(substr(B_REPORT_PERIOD,1,4)),'DD/MM/YYYY'),'Month YYYY') Billing,
B_company_id company,
sum((nvl(T.B_ORG_SURCH_AMOUNT,0)+nvl(T.B_ORG_PI_AMOUNT,0))-(nvl(T.P_AMOUNT,0))) "PeriodBalance",
Max(to_char(P_RECEIVED_DATE,'MM/DD/YY')) LastPaymentDate,
decode(sign(
(nvl(T.B_ORG_SURCH_AMOUNT,0)+nvl(T.B_ORG_PI_AMOUNT,0))-(nvl(T.P_AMOUNT,0))), 1,'Yes','No') Outs
FROM mv_program_dict P, tuff_balance_view T WHERE
b_company_id = 'U-7052-C' group by B_REPORT_PERIOD,B_company_id,B_BILLING_KEY,B_ORG_SURCH_AMOUNT,
B_ORG_PI_AMOUNT,P_AMOUNT
order by B_BILLING_KEY desc)
GROUP BY company, billing,LastPaymentDate;
Note:in the actual out put max(lastpayment date) is returing null values. if there is any date in one billing return that date only remove null example is september. in september it should return only 09/13/10 this date not null date. but if there is no other within one biling then consider that as null example november..
Thanks,

How to use Field-symbol with dynamic select query

Can anybody tell me, how to use field-symbols in the dynamic select query.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> { typing | STRUCTURE struc DEFAULT dobj }.
1. ... typing
2. ... STRUCTURE struc DEFAULT dobj
The FIELD-SYMBOLS statement declares a field symbol <fs>. The name conventions apply to the name fs. The angle brackets of the field symbols indicate the difference to data objects and are obligatory. You can declare field symbols in any procedure and in the global declaration section of an ABAP program, but not in the declaration section of a class or an interface. You can use a field symbol in any operand position in which it is visible and which match the typing defined using typing.
After its declaration, a field symbol is initial - that is, it does not reference a memory area. You have to assign a memory area to it (normally using the ASSIGN statement) before you can use it as an operand. Otherwise an exception will be triggered.
eg.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> TYPE ANY.
DATA: BEGIN OF line,
        string1(10) VALUE '0123456789',
        string2(10) VALUE 'abcdefghij',
      END OF line.
WRITE / line-string1+5.
ASSIGN line-string1+5(*) TO <fs>.
WRITE / <fs>.
output:
56789
56789
