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?
An example to show it.

    Hi,
    1. Hit the Caps Lock key hard in your key board.
    2. Put your code between tags for better readability.
    3. When you have a where clause, why do you want to go for if clause? as in
    [code]
    update <your_table> set <your_col> = <your_new_val>
               where (select count(empid) from employee) > 1
    [/code]
    is logically equivalent to your
    [code]
    if (select count(empid) from employee) > 1 then
    update statement;
    end if;
    [/code]

  • 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

    HI,
               I think you can use LT or < 0.0 in the WHERE clause to get all the -ve values. Once you get them treat them as negative.

  • FETCHING VALUES IN MULTI RECORD BLOCK FROM ANOTHER TABLE USING SELECT STATEMENT.

    Hi,
    I have one multi record block in which i want to fetch values
    (more then one record) from another table using select statement
    IN KEY NEXT ITEM.I am getting following error.
    ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows
    Thanks in advance.

    In your case I see no reason to use non-database block and to try to populate it from a trigger with a query, instead of using the default forms functionality where you can associate the block and the fields with table, create where clause using bind variables and simply use execute_query() build-in to populate the block. The power of the forms is to use their build-in functionality to interact with the database.
    Also, you can base your block on a query, not on a table and you dynamically change this query using set_block_property() build-in. You can use any dynamic queries (based on different data sources) and you simply need to control the column's data type, the number of the columns and their aliases. Something like creating inline views as a block data source.
    However, you can replace the explicit cursor with implicit one like
    go_block('non_db_block_name');
    first_record();
    FOR v_tab IN (SELECT *
    FROM tab
    WHERE col_name = :variable)
    LOOP
    :non_db_block_name.field1 := v_tab.col1;
    :non_db_block_name.field2 := v_tab.col2;
    next_record();
    END LOOP;

  • Can i use select statements in LDB

    Hai All,
       Can i use select statements and internal table in a LDB program.
    my requirement is that if i enter company code , fiscal year and reporting periods.
    generally fiscal year will be jan to dec.but in my requirement the fiscal year is apr of previous year to march of currentyear.
    so as i require the last years data can iuse select statement in that ldb program or is there any solution for this.
    Thanks in Advance
    kiran

    Hi Kiran,
    To retrive records from ldb you have to use the
    GET <node> statement. This will invoke the selection screen of the node. An alternate solution is to use the function module LDB_PROCESS.

  • 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.
    <b>if sy-subrc eq 0.</b>
    select lgnum ivnum lgpla idatu from linp into corresponding
    fields of table it_tab3 for all entries in it_tab1 <b>where lgnum = itab1-lgnum and ivnum = itab1-ivnum.</b><b>endif.</b>
    LOOP AT it_tab3 INTO wa_tab3.
    <b>clear wa_tab1.</b>
    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.
    <b>modify it_tab3 from wa3 transporting lgtyp uname where lgnum = wa_tab3-lgnum
    and ivnum = wa_tab3-ivnum.</b>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.

  • 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

       where kunnr = i_doc_by_ref-kunnr
        and zsabe in s_zsabe.

      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.
