WHERE clause in SELECT statement

hi experts..
i want to give 'OR' condition in the 'where' clause of 'SELECT' statement.
is it possible?
for examlpe..
IF EXIDV2 IS NOT INITIAL.
   SELECT * FROM YSDT_SHIPLOAD
            INTO TABLE IG_SHIPLOAD
            WHERE EXIDV2 = EXIDV2 AND
                         VHILM = PC1 OR PC2 OR PC3.
ENDIF.
i want that VHILM should be one of those three.
how can i do this?
thanks..

Hi ,
its possible,
Select * from ysdt_shipload int table ig_shipload where exidv2 = exidv2
                                                                        AND vhilm = pc1

OR
Select * from ysdt_shipload int table ig_shipload where exidv2 = exidv2
                    AND (vhilm = pc1 or vhilm = pc2 or vhilm = pc3).

Dynamic WHERE clause in SELECT statement

Hi,
I need to extract (SELECT) all the products in different salesorganizations. Since a product can be available in more than 1 salesorg I have created several properties in the PRODUCT dimension - 1 for each salesorganization (naming: Sxxxx where xxxx is the salesorganization number).
Since I need to prefix the salesorganization property with an "S" I have created a property on the SALESORG dimension called SALESORG.
Therefore I need to create a dynamic WHERE clause in the SELECT statement. Currently my script is:
*SELECT(%SORG%, "[SALESORG]",SALESORG, [ID]=%SALESORG_SET%)
*SELECT(%PROD%, "[ID]",PRODUCT, [%SORG%]="X")
My first SELECT find the Sxxx (equal to the property I need in the PRODUCT dimension). My second SELECT uses the variable in the first SELCT statement to use the correct property for the WHERE clause.
Unfortunately the code is not validated - any suggestions?
/Lars

Hi Lars,
If you run it from a DM package without validating it, does it still work? I would bet it does.
If this is the case I would open a message with SAP (it would be an enhancement request). Until they fix the validation code, you would just have to live with the script not validating.
Cheers,
Ethan

Use of LIKE in where clause of select statement for multiple records

Hi Experts,
I have a account number field which is uploaded from a file. Now this account numbers uploaded does not match fully with sap table account numbers but it contains all of the numbers provided in the file mostly in the upright positions.
For example in file we have account number as 2ARS1 while in sap table the value is 002ARS1.
And i want to fetch data from sap table based on account number uploaded. So, i am trying to use LIKE with for all entries but its not working as mentioned below but LIKE is not working with FOR ALL ENTRIES.
data : begin of t_dda occurs 0,
        dda(19) type c,
       end of t_dda.
data : begin of t_bukrs occurs 0,
        bukrs type t012k-bukrs,
       end of t_bukrs.
data : dda type t012k-bankn,
       w_dda type t012k-bankn.
CONCATENATE '%'
                         '2ARS1'
                 INTO W_DDA.
MOVE W_DDA TO T_DDA-DDA.
APPEND T_DDA.
CLEAR T_DDA.
free t_bukrs.
SELECT BUKRS
FROM T012K
into TABLE t_bukrs
    for all entries in t_dda
WHERE BANKN like t_dda-dda.
Can anybody suggest what should i use to get the data for multiple account numbers using one select statement only instead on using SELECT UP TO 1 ROWS in LOOP....ENDLOOP ?
Thanks in advance,
Akash

Hi,
yes, For All entries won't work for LIKE with '% '.
I think the other alternative is go for Native SQL by writing sub-query
sample code is here:
data: begin of i_mara occurs 0,
          matnr like mara-matnr,
          matkl like mara-matkl,
       end of i_mara.
exec sql.
select matnr, matkl from mara where matnr in (select matnr from marc) and matnr like '%ma' into :i_mara
endexec.
loop at i_mara.
write:/ i_mara-matnr, i_mara-matkl.
endloop.
hope u got it.
regards
Mahesh

How to put OR clause in SELECT statement

Hi
How to put OR clause in SELECT statement to return number_first/number_last to match records from another table's column.
<pre>
SELECT
a.id ,
flat_number ||' '|| a.number_first||' '||a.street_name||' '||a.suburb address1,
apt_no ||' '|| street_no||' '||b.street_name||' '||b.suburb address2
from
a ,
b
where b.street_name = a.street_name
AND b.SUBURB = a.SUBURB
AND b.STATE = a.STATE
</pre>
Thsi will return this as exact match.
ADDRESS 1
12 TAMAN TENANG A ORCHARD 3142
10 RAMA YISHUN 2095
ADDRESS2
12 TAMAN TENANG A ORCHARD 3142
10 RAMA YISHUN 2095
However this only matches number_first.
How can I get the query work that it will match both number_first and number_last (table b)in address 1 to match street_no in address2 ( table b).My oracle version is 10GR/2.

Hi, I have a hard time understanding your request, and below is what I thought you want:
SELECT
    a.id ,
       flat_number ||' '|| (decode(b.street_no, a.number_first, a.number_first, a.number_last, a.number_last)||' '||a.street_name||' '||a.suburb address1,
         apt_no ||' '|| street_no||' '||b.street_name||' '||b.suburb address2
      from
             a ,
             b
            where          b.street_name = a.street_name
             AND            b.SUBURB      = a.SUBURB
            AND            b.STATE       = a.STATE
            AND (B.street_no=a.number_first OR b.street_no=a.number_last);Not tested.
Also, since your B.street_no will be either a.number_first OR a.number_last, you could replace
(decode(b.street_no, a.number_first, a.number_first, a.number_last, a.number_last) with just b.street_no.

Where clause in SELECT INTO statement

Hi,
I am using multiple conditions in where clause for my SELECT INTO statement as follows.
SELECT count(DTLA.LOCATION_ID)
INTO LOCATION_ID_count
FROM DOC2_MGR.DOC_TYPE_LOB_ASSOC DTLA
WHERE (DTLA.DOC_TYPE_ID = 'XYZ' AND DTLA.lob_code = 'ABC');
It considers only first condition and returns the result i.e. DTLA.DOC_TYPE_ID = 'XYZ' only.
Does select into statement suppose to consider only one condition in where clause???
Thanks in advance!
--Sandeep

I got it resolved. Here is list of things I noted
1. I was using variable names same as column names. It was mixing up temp variable names with column name on the table, which doesn't make sense as I was referring column names in table.column format
2. I had mixed few datatypes. Input param was suppose to be number where as I was passing it as Text
Thanks anyway!

How to use "where" clause in modify statement

MODIFY itab - itab_lines
Syntax :
... itab FROM wa TRANSPORTING comp1 comp2 ... WHERE log_exp.
With these additions the MODIFY statement assigns the content of the comp1 comp2 ... components of the wa work area specified after TRANSPORTING to all lines in the itab table that meet the logical condition log_exp. The wa work area must be compatible with the line type of the internal table.
The TRANSPORTING addition has the same effect as changing individual lines. The WHERE addition can only be specified together with the TRANSPORTING addition. After WHERE, any logical expression can be specified in which the first operand of each individual comparison is a component of the internal table. All logical expressions are therefore possible, with the exception of IS ASSIGNED, , and IS SUPPLIED. It is not possible to dynamically specify a component using bracketed character-type data objects.
While for standard tables and hashed tables all lines in the internal table are checked for the logical expression of the WHERE statement, for sorted tables, optimized access can be achieved by checking at least one opening part of the table key for parity using AND linked queries in the logical expression.
Example
Change the contents of the planetype component for all lines in the sflight_tab internal table in which this component contains the value p_plane1 to the value p_plane2.
PARAMETERS: p_carrid TYPE sflight-carrid,
            p_connid TYPE sflight-connid,
            p_plane1 TYPE sflight-planetype,
            p_plane2 TYPE sflight-planetype.
DATA sflight_tab TYPE SORTED TABLE OF sflight
                 WITH UNIQUE KEY carrid connid fldate.
DATA sflight_wa TYPE sflight.
SELECT *
       FROM sflight
       INTO TABLE sflight_tab
       WHERE carrid = p_carrid AND
             connid = p_connid.
sflight_wa-planetype = p_plane2.
MODIFY sflight_tab FROM sflight_wa
       TRANSPORTING planetype WHERE planetype = p_plane1.

Beginner: Getting syntax error on WHERE clause in SELECT

I'm very new to php and mySQL. Am using DW master/detail to generate to basic code I need. One thing I need to do is modify a select statement in the master to include a WHERE clause to limit the selection to a particular value in one field.
I'm getting a syntax error with the WHERE clause I'm adding to the map select statement.
This is the portion of the error message showing the error location:
'WHERE Group='Community' LIMIT 0, 10'
The php that generated the select is:
$query_maps = "SELECT * FROM tblmaps ORDER BY tblmaps.DispSeq";
$query_limit_maps = sprintf("%s WHERE Group='%s' LIMIT %d, %d", $query_maps, $selectGroup, $startRow_maps, $maxRows_maps);
This approach to creating the select statement is from the code generated for the master page. It adds the LIMIT clause. All I did was add the "WHERE Group='%s' and the $selectGroup variable which comes from earlier code. You can see that the $selectGroup variable is equal to the "Community: group.
I've scanned the web to see what syntax error I might be making but haven't found anything that explains it.
The full resolved select statement is:
SELECT * FROM tblmaps ORDER BY tblmaps.DispSeq WHERE Group='Community' LIMIT 0,10
What am I not seeing?
Tom

Thanks. Make sense but changing that didn't help.
Here's the error message I'm getting:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Group='Community' ORDER BY tblmaps.DispSeq LIMIT 0, 10' at line 1
The full select (from a debugging ECHO I inserted) is:
SELECT * FROM tblmaps WHERE Group='Community' ORDER BY tblmaps.DispSeq LIMIT 0, 10
Note that when I take the WHERE clause out, there is no syntax error.

Does the 'default where clause' query select the ROWID by default ?

Hi ,
The query in default where property of a data block is as follows:
global.prim_lang = :global.user_lang
and upper(group_name) like upper('%' || :B_apply_inclusions.TI_group_desc || '%')
UNION ALL
select g.rowid, g.group_no
from table1 t,
table 2 g
where :global.prim_lang != :global.user_lang
and upper(g.group_name) = t.key(+)
and :global.user_lang = t.lang(+)
and upper(nvl(t.translated_value, g.group_name)) like upper('%' || :B_apply_inclusions.TI_group_desc || '%')
The g.rowid was added in the UNIONALL portion of the query because the first part of the query was bringing rowid as well.
We are in 10.1.2.3.0 forms version.
However for a user in forms verion 10.1.2.0.2, the query is giving an error " Unable to perform query " - due to mismatch in the number of columns selected in the query union.
because for this user, rowid is not selected as part of default where clause query( 1st part of the query before the unionalll).
If g.rowid is removed from the 2nd part of the query , it errors out in 10.1.2.3.0 forms version.
Could you kindly clarify when this rowid will also be selected by the default where clause of a block and why this issue is occuring?Is this issue related to forms version or any other property of the block? Is it is version based, is there a patch available to deal with the same?
Thanks in Advance.

You normally change the default_where block property just when you want to chnage the filter conditions for what is selected from a given block data source.
Querries with union or minus will confuse forms as to the rowid and will no longer be albe to perform the default insert/update/delete, not knowing the rowid and the table to perform the dml on.
A from clause query will be the best way to change dynamically the tables you select from and also the where. But, by using that, if you wish to insert/update/delete, you will have to use on-insert/update/delete triggers where the processing will have to rely on some primary key columns and not on rowid.
Or, instead of a from-clause, you may use a view, but that will definitely be less flexible than a from clause query.

Where clause in UPDATE statement is ignored

I have the following procedure that updates a field in a table. The only problem is that all rows in the table are updated like the update statement doesn't have a where clause. When I hard code the number (733) in the where clause it works as expected. Even if I don't alias the table name it still updates all rows in the table. Any ideas?
DECLARE
extlinkid CONSTANT NUMBER := 733;
newURL CONSTANT VARCHAR2(250) := 'mailto:[email protected]';
BEGIN
UPDATE SCHEMA.TABLE A
SET A.URL = newURL
WHERE (A.EXTLINKID = extlinkid);
commit;
END;

Oracle is resolving your variable extlinkid as the column in the table, so your UPDATE statement is equivalent to:
UPDATE schema.table a
SET a.url = newurl
WHERE (a.extlinkid = a.extlinkid);Which, of course, matches every record in the table. You need to change the name of your variable to something that is not a column name.

How to use string operation in where clause of select query

Hello All,
I just want to know how can i write a restriction in select query saying retrive data only begins with name "DE*".
Explaination: If my table has records and names starts with character then i want to write a query to fetch all the records in which names starts with DE*.
Thanks in advance for your quick reply...
Dev.

Hi
In the where clause you need to write like
WHERE NAME LIKE 'DE%'

Dynamic where clause in select query

Hi
I'm trying for a dynamic query and in the dynamic where clause i'm checking a field for constant.....for instance if i wanna to use WERKS EQ '0478' how to declare it in dync where clause. i tried for the following:
SELECT (TAB_FIELD) INTO TABLE DITAB UP TO 10 ROWS FROM (TAB_NAME) WHERE (CONDI).
heree CONDI = 'werks eq 0287' . in this case the query fails as the werks shud be equal to '0287' and not just 0287. How to handle this? i tried for the following
CONDI = 'werks eq " '0287' " ' but no luck as it is not a valid stmt as i knew.

hi prabhu,
this is how u select dynamically...
DATA: COND(72) TYPE C,
ITAB LIKE TABLE OF COND.
PARAMETERS: CITY1(10) TYPE C, CITY2(10) TYPE C.
DATA WA TYPE SPFLI-CITYFROM.
CONCATENATE 'CITYFROM = ''' CITY1 '''' INTO COND.
APPEND COND TO ITAB.
CONCATENATE 'OR CITYFROM = ''' CITY2 '''' INTO COND.
APPEND COND TO ITAB.
CONCATENATE 'OR CITYFROM = ''' 'BERLIN' '''' INTO COND.
APPEND COND TO ITAB.
LOOP AT ITAB INTO COND.
WRITE COND.
ENDLOOP.
SKIP.
SELECT CITYFROM
INTO WA
FROM SPFLI
WHERE (ITAB).
WRITE / WA.
ENDSELECT.
regards,
sohi
