PL/SQL :: Have A Function In Oracle To Select Not Null Columns At Beginning

Jul 12, 2012

I have 8 columns. Some of them might be null.I want to display all 8 columns in my result. Not null columns will be first and null at the end.

Here is a sample data :

Employee table :
Employee_id   Emp_fname  emp_lname  emp_mname  dept salary emp_height  emp_weight
   1               aaa        ddd                d1   100      6           180
   2               bbb                ccc             120                 169
   3               dfe                           d2            5.9         223

The expected result is :
result1 result2   result3 result4  result5  result6 result7 result8
1        aaa        ddd     d1       100     6        180
2        bbb        ccc     120      169
3        dfe        d2      5.9      223

How to call a function with a row type return in an Oracle select statement.

is
rec xyz%rowtype;
begin
select * into rec from xyz where col1 = n;
return rec;
end;
--------------------------------
How could I use this in a select clause, as there is a multi column return by the function ?

SQL & PL/SQL :: Columns With NULL Values?

Dec 17, 2010

We are working on a migration project and we need to move 75 million rows from source system to target system.

Total number of columns in source system - 90 cols.

Out of the 90 columns 10 cols are system fields and rest 80 are properties for each record.

We are required to migrate all system cols and some required properties. In total we will migrate around 25 columns[10+15] for each record.

Before actaul migration , we need to do a data cleansing activity and hence we move the data to a staging table.

To create the staging table, we considered the below appraoches.

1. Create the staging table with around 30 coloumns so as to fit the data from source system[map the columns based on datatype]

2.Create the staging table with actual columns[90 columns] and import only the required properties. The rest all columns will remain NULL.

Do the data cleansing and move to target system.

My question here is, if we go with approach 2, We will not mix the data, as there will be a one-to-one mapping. But many columns will not have data and remain NULL. Will it affect the performance since we deal with 75 million rows.

Function With Null Parameters

Mar 17, 2009

i have a function which takes in two variables and return a varchar.

ex: Function(var1,var2) return as varchar2.

in the function,i query a table for var1 and var2 and concatenate the result set to return a varchar. But if either var1 or var2 is null,then my query in the function fetches the result set for the other variable.

My question is,how would i pass a null value through the function and handle it in the function.

SQL Loader - Null Columns When Using Terminated And Optionally Enclosed Delimiters

Sep 25, 2012

I regularly upload various tab-delimited text data files with SQL Loader. The control files always specify TERMINATED BY X'09'. Certain columns in those data files may be null for some rows, i.e. there is no character between two subsequent tabs. It always works like a clock.

Now, I have run into a specific case where I have to strip a data column of double quotes that may or may not enclose the actual data (side effect of a text export from Excel).

I tried simply adding OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' behind the terminated delimiter and it did work for the file and column in question. Still, with this new option, files with null values are no longer decoded correctly. The loader seems to simply skip those values, which provokes column shifts and results in either a corrupt load, or a load failure.

For now, I've got a workaround dropping the new option and executing an SQL script eliminating double quotes directly in the database, but that obviously cannot last.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Count Function Over NULL Values

Jun 17, 2010

There is a table with column holding 3 NULL values one each in every record. When a count function is applied to the column with a filter on NULLs,it returns 0 instead of 3.

But when count(*)is applied,expected result is returned. Would be interested in knowing about this strange behavior of NULL/Count.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Select NULL Using REGEXP_SUBSTR?

Feb 2, 2011

My Database is in Oracle 11g.

My query returns the 3rd field from a CSV string. If the third field in the string is empty I want the select to return a null but it returns the 4th field :

SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR( 'A,B,,D,E','[^,]+',1,3) from dual;

.. this returns 'D'.

Can we somehow make the REGEX_SUBSTR return a NULL for the third field ?

SQL & PL/SQL :: Add Null In Select Based On Certain Condition?

Oct 20, 2011

I got a requirement to check if a particular range of values are present , if few values missing then have to add null for the values. This has to be a SQL statement.

table 1 :

fiscal_month_id, value1, value2
2010100028482848
2010110025712709.5
2010120027452721.3
2011010026052692.25
2011020026382681.4
2011030030992751
2011040027662753.14
2011050029732780.625

This is the table. the fiscal month id denotes that the values is from month Oct(20101000) to May (20110500). The fiscal year cycle for me is from OCT to SEP. Hence when we select this table, the select should retreive the below data

fiscal_month_id, value1, value2
2010100028482848
2010110025712709.5
2010120027452721.3
2011010026052692.25

[code].....

How to do this in a select statement ?

This fiscal_month_ID is actual from another table where all time level information are kept.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Search String From The End To Beginning (reverse INSTR)?

I only need to take the 4 out of this message. Of course the number might be anything from 1 to 10000.

The database languages might differ so I can't do this using

v_line_no:=SUBSTR(v_line_no,INSTR(v_line_no,'line')+5)

As it would not find any 'line' inside the string.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Invalid Results When Including Date With Null Value In Select List?

Jun 15, 2010

I'm working on a Oracle Database, and I'm gettin incorrect results when including a date field in the select list which is NULL in the table.

This works correctly and returns exactly one row:

SELECT firstField FROM table WHERE firstField = 'value'

while this doesn't and returns no rows:

SELECT firstField, secondField FROM table WHERE firstField = 'value'

Where secondField is of type date and its value is NULL (00-000-00). Note that the only thing that changes is the select list.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Select Max Date Between Columns In A Row?

May 3, 2012

BANNER
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.5.0 - Production
"CORE10.2.0.5.0Production"
TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.5.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.5.0 - Production

See attached file for creation script and data load.Each staff member is required to complete at least one task every three years. The source table contains an EID (aka User ID) and a date column for each task with a date of when the task was completed. If a task has never been started/completed the date value is "NULL".

If a row looks like this:

EID,DATE01,DATE02,DATE03,DATE04,DATE05,DATE06,DATE07,DATE08,DATE09,DATE10,DATE11,DATE12,DATE13
68,NULL,11/10/2009,5/3/2010,4/22/2012,NULL,NULL,4/14/2010,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,4/14/2010,4/14/2010

The the result set would look like this:

EID,MaxDate,Within_Last_3_Years
68,4/22/2012,'YES'

The result set will show the EID, date of latest task completed and if the task was completed within the last 3 years from given date (for example June 30, 2012).

SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Add Two More Columns Into Select Statement

and b.DB_name=(SELECT unique substr(upper(t.target_name), 1, instr(t.target_name,'_',1,1)-1)

SELECT DISTINCT On Multiple Columns

Sep 17, 2010

I've read so many different pages on this topic but I can't seem to get my query the way it needs to be. Here's the query:

select admitnbr, lastname||', '||firstname||' '||finitial, hphone, mobile, wphone, med_rec, dob
from patients join schedule using (key_patien)
join adtmirro using (key_patien)
where appt_state = 'ON HOLD'

Because patients in my database can have multiple appointments "on hold" there are duplicates in the results. I only need 1 record per patient in order to forward this information into an automated dialer to contact that patient. I do NOT want to call the patient over and over again. Once will suffice. I'm trying to make a distinction on the column 'med_rec'. One row per 'med_rec' will be awesome but I can't find a way to create a distinct on that column.
