Difference Between NOT IN - MINUS - NOT EXISTS / EXCEPT Operators?
Nov 19, 2011
where difference lies between these operators or clause, & whether there is any "except" operator in oracle, i know other three are used bt dont think oracle uses "except" too..as far as i have seen "NOT IN", "MINUS" , "NOT EXISTS" are exactly similar?
SQL> create table test(Amount number,Name varchar2(10)); Table created. SQL> insert into test values(100,'USA'); 1 row created. SQL> insert into test values(150,'NEWYORK'); 1 row created. SQL> insert into test values(200,'SCOTT');
[code].....
I would like to pass the operators from another table. How to pass the operators from other table.
I have below query which uses between clause. For some constraints I cannot use between clause so this need this to converted to use only relational operator.
select * from TABLE1 where "+ width +" between start_width " + "and end_width and "+ height +" between start_height " + "and end_height " + "and id = "+ id
I got a two tables, table the_table_1 consist of customers and the other one the_table_2 consist of channels.
And I need to get list of channels by contract which are an assigned to customers.
The select below give me a only assigned channels but I need to get a contract_key too from the_table_1.
select o.channel_name from the_table_2 o minus select o.channel_name from the_table_1 a, the_table_2 o where a.contract_key=237092201 and a.offer_channel_key=o.OFFER_CHANNEL_KEY
And the select under (after minus) gives a list of non assigned channels by contract_key:
select o.channel_name from the_table_1 a, the_table_2 o where a.contract_key=237092201 and a.offer_channel_key=o.OFFER_CHANNEL_KEY
i have two tables having some fields .In table table1 there is 2 lakh rows and in table table2 there is 3 lakh rows.In both table 2 lakh rows are common.I have to find those 1 lakh rows which are distinct but the condition for this i have to use only sql joins not minus or subquery or any function.
when i doing this.select t2.id,t2.name,t2.loc from table1 t1,table2 t2 where t1.id <>t2.id;
|* 2 | TABLE ACCESS FULL | b | 1 | 23 | 4 (0)| 00:00:01 |
| 3 | TABLE ACCESS FULL | a | 300 | 14700 | 4 (0)| 00:00:01 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - How do i optimize it best?
I am using the below query to show the difference of data between two tables using minus operator.
teh result is correct, but is there a way can it show with a flag with new rows and updated rows something like "N" for new row and "U" for updated row.
create a procedure so that I could get minus query of 2 table as a result.
I have two table 1- src_table_list ,2- tgt_table_list both tables have 2 columns : serial_no,table_name and 100 records each. and details mentioned in column "table_name" are actually tables name which present in my testing database.
so I need one procedure which will pick one table_name from src_table_list and one table_name from tgt_table_name each time recursively and provide minus query as a result. as below.
select c1,c2,c3,c4 from table1 --(fetched from src_table_list) minus select b1,b2,b3,b4 from table2 --(fetched from tgt_table_list)
create the procedure..as I have to prepare minus query for more than 200 tables and then I need to test them for integration testing..
I am searching the simplest way for ad hoc MINUS.I do:
SELECT * FROM uam_rss_user_XXXXXXX WHERE host_name IN ('XXX0349', 'XXX0362', 'XXX0363', 'XXX0343', 'XXX0342', 'XXX0499', [code]....
and look in the table which values are missing (values that are in host_name IN but not in actual table).is there a simpler way for doing an ad hoc MINUS? I know to insert values in temp. Table. How are experienced Oracle pros doing this task?

But this file_id i don't have in my database, i am making these queries:
SQL> select FILE_ID from dba_temp_files order by FILE_ID;
FILE_ID ---------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [code]....
I don't have this file_id, why alert.log is showing me it? Of course, nobody has created this datafile and nobody has removed it too.
i have a procedure like create or replace procedure studrec( a in sid%rowtype)asi sid%rowtype;beginselect sid into ifrom students; i need to check whether sid is exist in the variable i or not
But i think if table CON_TEST doen't exist, an error message will appear. I know that in SQL Server we can check if table exists or not. So, i wonder if we can do that in Oracle?
By the way, is there any way to run a file script that contents TABLES, STORED, ... on a developed PC connect to oracle db server? (in case, i'm developing on PC, using Net Service Name to conect to Oracle DB Server)
following is a query which i find difficult to understand why EXISTS is failing. There are two scenarios where if i block LINE 30 and unblock line 31 of the code then one record is returned.
Which is the best way to check whether a record exists.
DECLARE l_count NUMBER; BEGIN SELECT COUNT(*) INTO l_count FROM emp WHERE empno=7839; IF l_count=1 THEN dbms_output.put_line('exists'); ELSE dbms_output.put_line('not exists'); END IF; END;
For the customer ID 123 I want to return Z1, for customer 678 I want to return S2 and for customer ID 345 I want 11
Problem is that I'm new to the concept of looping. I know how to write a function that accepts customer_id as a value write a cursor and then check IF hierarchy = 1 the return FUNCTION_CODE IF hierarchy - 2 THEN ...
but I need something more universal as some of the customers may have hierarchy function 1 and that would be the top one for him but others might have function of hierarchy 10 as top and checking all of the possibilities using if would be just stupid. So how to write something universal ? And of course if function did not find any customer_id then return null.
i have also another concern as per below xml file.
My requirement is to identify perticular node ,whose having PriorValue attribute present in <pi:the Actual_Comp_Change> tag,those record should return.
I have this sample: the column data1 is datetime datatype with t as ( select 'SMITH' nom,to_date('21/09/2013 07:30:00') data1 from dual union all select 'ALLEN',to_date('21/09/2013 07:40:00') from dual union all -- select 'WARD',to_date('21/09/2013 07:50:00') from dual union all select 'JONES',to_date('21/09/2013 08:00:00') from dual union all
[Code]..
How can I write a select to check that If I input 10 minutes to nom 'ALLEN' it's ok because the time 07:40 + 10 minutes = 07:50 the row not exists, (the next)but If input 20 it exists because the sum = 08:00 and row isn't free , indeed, there is 'JONES'?
I have a single table with a TOTAL_TIME column which I want to increment by a certain amount every time I get a request from a specific user. If the row for that user does not exist, it should be created and the TOTAL_TIME column should be set to the value that just came in. Otherwise, if it does exist, it should be incremented by the value passed in.
How can I accomplish this in oracle? I don't want to just first do a select, then insert, because that can cause race conditions. I want something that'll do the check and insert/update in one statement (locked).
I am facing a problem in my database that whenever I load any kind of database objects in a particular tablespace then it gives:-
ORA-08103: object no longer exists
If I load in any other tablespace, everything works fine. I am getting error while export/import, create a table etc. How can I resolve it. I was wondering that may be it is facing problem while writing to a particular datafile.
