Using select * in a join statement

Ok Wizards,
If I use this code: (select * from tablea a, tableb b where a.index = b.index) joined, I can reference any column in either table using joined.column except a column named in both tables. If both tables contained a columnxyz, any reference to joined.columnxyz returns an error. Must be a naming convention this newbie is unaware of (among many other things). Your wisdom and patience are greatly admired.

You are right SomeoneElse,
Natural join doesn't necessarily apply unless you're using stricts naming conventions.
You could use following syntax:
select * from scott.emp join scott.dept on emp.deptno = dept.deptno;
But we're back to the beginning, i.e we can't referefence deptno - it gives an error as in
select deptno from (
select * from scott.emp join scott.dept on emp.deptno = dept.deptno
So forget about my second sugestion
You could always create a view on the 2 tables joined together if you absolutely want to use *.

Using CASE in the join statement in the AND clause. Where's the problem?

All,
I have my code, where based on the case statement, I would like to restrict the number of records in my JOIN condition. It's the CASE statement that I have used, that's giving me the problem. Not sure, what the problem is. The error says (in my case expression):
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 59
Incorrect syntax near '>'.
Select a.Col1, a.Col2, b.Col1, b.Col2, b.Col3
From Table1 a
Join Table2 b
On a.id = b.id
Join Table3 c
On c.FiltId = a.FiltId
And
Case
When b.Col3 <> 5 --b.Col3 is an INT field
Then (b.OutDate >= DATEADD(DAY, -30, c.InsertDate) And b.OutDate <= DATEADD(DAY, 30, c.InsertDate))
When b.Col3 = 5
Then (b.InDate >= DATEADD(DAY, 5, c.InsertDate))
End
Join Table 4 -- Other Join conditions and where clause conditions

You do not know the CASE is an expression and fields are not columns. This is fundamental and probably means that a lot of your code needs work.
You can probably re-write the query with something like this:
SELECT A.col1, A.col2, B.col1, B.col2, B.col3
FROM Table_1 AS A, Table_2 AS B, Table_3 AS C
WHERE A.generic_id = B.generic_id
AND C.foobar_id = A.foobar_id
AND CASE
WHEN B.col3 <> 5
AND (B.something_out_date
<= DATEADD(DAY, -30, C.something_insertion_date)
THEN 'T'
WHEN B.col3 = 5
AND (B.something_out_date
>= DATEADD(DAY, -30, C.something_insertion_date)
THEN 'T'
ELSE 'F' END = 'T' ;

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

Using select stat.

Hi,
How can I use select stat. rather than join to join to tables so that I have all the fields from both tables appearing in my output.

Hi,
There are two ways to handle the problem.
1. For all entries
Types: begin of str1_tab,
lgnum type lgnum,
ivnum type LVS_IVNUM,
ivpos type LVS_IVPOS,
lgtyp type lgtyp,
lgpla type lgpla,
idatu type LVS_IDATU,
uname type LINK_UNAME,
end of str1_tab.
Data: it_tab1 type table of str1_tab,
wa_tab1 like line of it_tab1.
DATA: it_tab3 TYPE TABLE OF str1_tab,
wa_tab3 LIKE LINE OF it_tab3.
select lgnum ivnum lgtyp uname FROM link INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF
TABLE it_tab1 where lgnum = pa_lgnum AND ivnum IN s_ivnum.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
select lgnum ivnum lgpla idatu from linp into corresponding
fields of table it_tab3 for all entries in it_tab1 where lgnum = itab1-lgnum and ivnum = itab1-ivnum.endif.
LOOP AT it_tab3 INTO wa_tab3.
clear wa_tab1.
READ TABLE it_tab1 INTO wa_tab1 WITH
KEY lgnum = wa_tab3-lgnum
ivnum = wa_tab3-ivnum.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
move-corresponding it_tab1 to it_tab3.
modify it_tab3 from wa3 transporting lgtyp uname where lgnum = wa_tab3-lgnum
and ivnum = wa_tab3-ivnum.ENDIF.
clear it_tab3.
endloop.
2. Use inner join
Types: begin of str1_tab,
lgnum type lgnum,
ivnum type LVS_IVNUM,
ivpos type LVS_IVPOS,
lgtyp type lgtyp,
lgpla type lgpla,
idatu type LVS_IDATU,
uname type LINK_UNAME,
end of str1_tab.
Data: it_tab1 type table of str1_tab,
wa_tab1 like line of it_tab1.
select linklgnum linkivnum linklgtyp linkuname linplgpla linpidatu FROM link inner join linp on linklgnum = linplgnum
and linkivnum = linkivnum
into TABLE it_tab1 where lgnum = pa_lgnum AND ivnum IN s_ivnum.
Now itab1 will contain all the values

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.

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

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.
