Using Select Aggregate Statements

Hi Experts,
I am getting mixed response regarding the use of aggregate statements in select query. My concerns are:
1) Using aggregate function in select query or processing in internal table is more efficient ?
2) If it is database dependent (as some may argue ), for which databases we have to use aggregate function and for which we should avoid to use it ?
3) Is there any relevant study regarding this topic, I mean some statistics with the no of records, and the underlying database used.
Sam.

Hi Sam,
I agree with Aarif, but you can make use of aggregate functions while writing select query rather than using loops on internal tables to find Max. Value for example as this is more efficient.
Please refer to the link below for more information on Aggregate statements.

Using SELECT INTO statement to transfer data from one DB to another?

Hello,
I need to move data from an SAP table to another downstream SQL server box without flat file in between. I have set up the DBCON interface, so that my ABAP code on SAP can connect to the remote SQL Server, then I can run INSERT command as Native SQL inside the ABAP.
However, INSERT has performance problem. The best performer as I can find is SELECT INTO statement. But then I am stuck at how to use SELECT INTO to query my local SAP table and send (via INTO) to remote database. I am not even sure whether I should use Open SQL or Native SQL.
Any suggestion? BTW, I understand the limitation of Native SQL, but we are OK to use it.
Thanks!

It appears that this is some kind of migration project due to the scope of the data contained in the single file? If so whatever you do is like ly to be trow away once the migration of data is completed.
You have a couple of options:
1) Get the data extracted from HFM in multiple files instead of one bulk file, broken down by scanario,year & period
2) Take the single data dump file produced by FDM and manipulate it yourself to get the data in a more usuable format for processing through FDM.
Option 2 could be achieved via any ETL tool or a custom file parsing script. What may be more attractive to you and allow you to fully leverage your investment in FDM is that you could use the PULL adapter that ships as part of the FDM adapter suite to perform this transformation exercise. The PULL adapter takes a flat file input and allows you to use all the in built functionality of FDM to transform it and output a modified flat file (or series of flat files). You could use it to produce multioload files or a series of files broken down by scenario,year,period.
Whatever you do I would suggest that break the single data file down into smaller chunks as this will help with the iterative debugging process you will inevitably have to undetake whislt migrating the data to the new application.

Obtain Param Array using SELECT SQL statement

Hi,
I was trying to use array processing to fetch an array of data from a database. Here is the problem I am facing (I am new to this, so I am sorry if I am doing something silly):
I am using the following statements in C++:
OParamArray idParam;
OParamArray colorParam;
OParameterCollection paramCol = odb.GetParameters();
idParam= paramCol.AddTable("idParam",OPARAMETER_OUTVAR,OTYPE_NUMBER,100,10);
colorParam= paramCol.AddTable("colorParam",OPARAMETER_OUTVAR,OTYPE_VARCHAR2,100,10);
oresult res1 = odb.ExecuteSQL("select :idParam=MYID, :colorParam=COLOR from MYTABLE"); // MYID and COLOR are the column names
But after the "ExecuteSQL" call when I check for the values in idParam and miColorParam, I find no values....
What am I doing wrong? How do I use the SELECT statement with Array Parameters?
Thanks in advance.

SMALL PROBLEM IN USING SELECTION-OPTIONS STATEMENT

Hello ABAP Gurus,
I am trying to write a simple program that takes 'FROM' and 'TO' dates which will be used to generate a report..
However the requirement is that the 'FROM' date should have a default value that is read from a file and the 'TO' date should have a default value of today's date. The Client wants to option of changing these dates if needed.
However, when I wrote the following program, it first doesn't read the text file for the 'FROM' date and therefore it is by default filling only 'TO' date and leaving the 'FROM' field blank. Can some one please let me konw what I am not doing correctly.
The simple code that i have written is
=======================================================================================
REPORT Z_PROGRAM1.
DATA: DAYSTMP(40),
FROMDATE LIKE SY-DATUM.
DAYSTMP = 'C:\EXTRACTEDDATA\ExtractedDate.txt'.
OPEN DATASET DAYSTMP FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
READ DATASET DAYSTMP INTO FROMDATE.
CLOSE DATASET DAYSTMP.
SELECTION-SCREEN: BEGIN OF BLOCK MAIN WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.
SELECT-OPTIONS: S_DATE FOR SY-DATUM DEFAULT FROMDATE TO SY-DATUM
OPTION BT SIGN I.
SELECTION-SCREEN: END OF BLOCK MAIN.
========================================================================================
Any suggestions/feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

IS ITCOMPULSARY TO USE SELECT ENDSELETC IN LDB

Hello All,
Am freshaer in ABAP . In a code we use a LDB named PNM . in that LDB there is a table named PLPOD from this table we get the workcentre number then from it we will be going to database table crhd and crtx to get the description of that particular work centre . While selecting the data it is asking for endselect statement though i use the target as a interanl table .

Hi,
if u want multiple entries of description ,U can use
Select with into table it statement. then it do not ask u for endselect.
for eg.
SELECT
matnr mtart mbrsh matkl
FROM mara
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it
WHERE matnr IN p_matnr.
if u want single entries of description , u can use
select single statement.
For eg.
    select single KWERT
    from KONV
    into IT-ZADM
    where KNUMV = IT-KNUMV
      and KPOSN = IT-POSNR
      and KSCHL = 'ZADM'.

How to get all values from an interval using select statement

Hi,
Is it possible to write a select statement that returns all values from an interval? Interval boundaries are variable.
something like this:
select (for x in 1,1024 loop x end loop) from dual
(this, of course, doesn't work)
The result in this example should be 1024 rows of numbers from 1 to 1024. These numbers are parameters, so it is not possible to create a table with predefined values.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Mia.

For your simple case, with a lower boundary of 1, you can use:
SELECT rownum
FROM all_objects
WHERE rownum <= 1024For a set of number between say 50 - 100, you can use something like:
SELECT rownum + (50 - 1)
FROM all_objects
WHERE rownum <= (100 - 50 + 1)Note, that all_objects was used only because it generally has a lot of rows. Any table with at least the number of rows in your range will work.

thanks for the help,
I believe I almost got it to compilw, however I am getting Error(29,19): PL/SQL: ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined.
Of course CASE_TYPE_CODE is ambiguously because its passed in, is there a way around this.
Here is what i have so far.

What happen if i use controll break statement in between select & endselect

Hi all,
what happen if i use controll break statement in between select & endselect ?
Thanks in Advance
KR

Hi for reference u can go through this code example
data:
fs_tab like sflight.
data:
   t_tab like standard table of fs_tab.
   select * from sflight into table t_tab.
   loop at t_tab into fs_tab.
     write: / fs_tab-carrid.
   endloop.
   refresh t_tab.
   clear fs_tab.
   select * from sflight into fs_tab.
     at new fs_tab-carrid.
       append fs_tab to t_tab.
     endat.
   endselect.

Using Select statement in IF condition?

hi all,
Can i use select statement in IF COndition in pl sql ?
eg like- if( select 1 from ASD) then
end if;

There is no way to do any kind of select statement inside if conditions.
Why don't test simple cases like this first?

How to use SELECT statement to extract KNA1-NAME1 and KNB1-ZSABE

In building table I_KNA1 in form f_extract_data, an additional select statement is needed to select and append datafrom (KNA1 and KNB1) to existing I_KNA1
In form f_extract_data table i_kna1 is populated with data from zd_kna101.(where ZD_KNA101 is a view of KNA1, KNB1 and KNBK. It's a joint of these three tables.) This will take care of all customers with KNBK-BANKL and KNBK-BANLN populated. But this does not include new customers created in SAP CRM (no KNBK records). Therefore a separate SELECT statement is needed to extract KNA1-NAME1 and KNB1-ZSABE for customers created in SAP CRM(the customers who do do not have BANKL and BANKN). These selected records are then need to be appended to I_KNA1. It's possible that new selection statement might extract records that are already in existing I_KNA1 table. IF this is the case, right after the append, sort I_KNA1 and remove duplicate records.
form f_extract_data.
select kunnr                         " Customer Number
         name1                         " Name
         zsabe                         " Business Unit
         bankl                         " Legacy Bank Key
         bankn                         " Legacy Bank Account
    from zd_kna101                     " View of KNA1, KNB1, and KNBK
    into table i_kna1
    for all entries in i_doc_by_ref
   where kunnr = i_doc_by_ref-kunnr
    and zsabe in s_zsabe.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
    message a116 with 'customer'. " Customer Table is empty. HALT!!!
else.
    sort i_kna1 by kunnr.
endif.
will I have to use the join statement(for KNA1-NAME1 and KNB1-ZSABE using the key as KUNNR) here or give two seperate select statements for extracting data from KNA1 and KNB1 using the key as KUNNR.
THANKS FOR THE HELP.

I would suggest using the join on KUNNR. Maybe something like this.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
      kunnr type kna1-kunnr,
      name1 type kna1-name1,
      ZSABE type knb1-ZSABE,
      end of itab.
    select kna1~kunnr kna1~name1 knb1~zsabe
           into table itab
                from kna1
                   inner join knb1
                        on kna1~kunnr = knb1~kunnr
                               where ........

In making a form, I've used buttons for user to select a state. Can I make it go to cities next?

I don't know the correct terminology, so I don't think that I've posed my question very well. Employees will be using the form that I'm trying to make, and I want for them to be able to select a city from a large number of cities, and for that city to ultimately show up on the form (not merely in the data that is output.)
I thought that the clearest way for them to select a city would be for them to start by selecting the pertinent state first. That would allow the list of cities in that state to be shorter and more manageable. So I'd like for them to be able to select a state, and then by virtue of that selection, have a list of cities pop up. I sort of achieved that by using buttons for the states, and then under "actions", I chose "open a file". Then I set it up to open a file that contained the cities that are options,and set each city with a button.
The result is that it goes from my form to a second window, containing states and then to a third window, containing cities. (Actually, there are multiple "city" windows because there's a list of cities for each state.) But then I'd like for the city that they select to wind up being on my original form. Is there an "action" that I can choose that will make that happen?
Or is there a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish? Maybe I'm just going about this all wrong(?) Any suggestions would be very much appreciated Thank you!

Yes, there is a much better way. I'd recommend using a combo box for the list of states. When the user selects a state, the list of associated cities would populate a second combo box, allowing the user to select a city. This type of functionality relies on JavaScript. If you are unfamiliar with with JavaScript in Acrobat, I'd suggest starting with the following article: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/js_list_combo_livecycle/
Ignore anything to do with LiveCycle Designer. If you get stuck, post again.

Number of rows inserted is different in bulk insert using select statement

I am facing a problem in bulk insert using SELECT statement.
My sql statement is like below.
strQuery :='INSERT INTO TAB3
(SELECT t1.c1,t2.c2
FROM TAB1 t1, TAB2 t2
WHERE t1.c1 = t2.c1
AND t1.c3 between 10 and 15 AND)' ....... some other conditions.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE strQuery ;
These SQL statements are inside a procedure. And this procedure is called from C#.
The number of rows returned by the "SELECT" query is 70.
On the very first time call of this procedure, the number rows inserted using strQuery is *70*.
But in the next time call (in the same transaction) of the procedure, the number rows inserted is only *50*.
And further if we are repeating calling this procedure, it will insert sometimes 70 or 50 etc. It is showing some inconsistency.
On my initial analysis it is found that, the default optimizer is "ALL_ROWS". When i changed the optimizer mode to "rule", this issue is not coming.
Anybody faced these kind of issues?
Can anyone tell what would be the reason of this issue..? any other work around for this...?
I am using Oracle 10g R2 version.

You have very likely concurrent transactions on the database:
>
By default, Oracle Database permits concurrently running transactions to modify, add, or delete rows in the same table, and in the same data block. Changes made by one transaction are not seen by another concurrent transaction until the transaction that made the changes commits.
>
If you want to make sure that the same query always retrieves the same rows in a given transaction you need to use transaction isolation level serializable instead of read committed which is the default in Oracle.
Please read http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e10471/adfns_sqlproc.htm#ADFNS00204.
You can try to run your test with:
set transaction isolation level serializable;If the problem is not solved, you need to search possible Oracle bugs on My Oracle Support with keywords

How to pass parameter in Function by using select statement?

Hi,
I got a problem. I cant pass in parameter to function by using select statement. But it can pass in parameter by using 'hardcode' method. How can I solve this problem?
Eg,
select * from table (SplitFunction('HS750020,HS750021')) <<< this work.
but
select * from table (SplitFunction(select LOT_NO from TRACER_SEARCH_SCHEDULE where JOB_ID = '36')) <<< do not work.
Thanks for who try to help. Thanks.

Insert using select statement

Hi,
I am trying to insert values using select statement. But this is not working
INSERT INTO contribution_temp_upgrade
(PRO_ID,
OBJECT_NAME,
DELIVERY_DATE,

INDUSTRY_CATERGORIZATION,
ADVANTAGES,

wwv_flow.g_f11(vRow),
wwv_flow.g_f12(vRow),
wwv_flow.g_f13(vRow)
FROM DUAL;
Please let me know what i am missing..
Thanks
Sudhir

Try this
INSERT INTO contribution_temp_upgrade
(PRO_ID,
OBJECT_NAME,
DELIVERY_DATE,
MODULE_NAME,
INDUSTRY_CATERGORIZATION,

REUSE_DETAILS)
SELECT
:P1_PROJECTS,

wwv_flow.g_f11(vRow),
wwv_flow.g_f12(vRow),
wwv_flow.g_f13(vRow)
FROM DUAL;Note: when you are selecting a value using select statement, you should not specify the keyword "values".
i assume you have already assigned value for your bind variable :P1_PROJECTS and rest of the functions will return some value.
