Query Ordering By Relevance
May 26, 2009
I have an Oracle query that I have built based on user input... user enters a description (multiple words) and I search for existing descriptions like it. For instance I may have a record like "My name is matt". Right now the query looks like
select * from table where
(field1 like '%My%' or
field1 like '%name%' or
field1 like '%is%' or
field1 like '%matt%');
There may be tons of records that have at least ONE of these, but I want to order by relevance, so a description "my name is bob" (3 words in common) will appear before "his name is not mine" (just 2 words in common).I have seen the SCORE() and CONTAINS() functions but not sure about multiple search criteria.

Been cruising all sorts of ways to order by. My last ditch effort my be to use the WITH clause, but I don't want to go there just yet...
Using Oracle 10G against a database that uses a COTS CHAR datatype schema against an in-house varchar2 datatype schema (hence all the trims you will see in there so I can get proper joins)
Here is my query in question. Beware it's somewhat eye-bleeding!
select * from (
SELECT
int.part "Part",
int.lot_nbr "Lot",
int.stkrm "Stkrm",
int.location "Location",
[Code]...
Now obviously no one would be able to run this... But here is an example of how this is spitting out the ordered by date:
31-Mar-2011 12:00:00 AM
31-Mar-2011 12:00:00 AM
31-Mar-2011 12:00:00 AM
28-Sep-2011 12:00:00 AM
[Code]...
It's like it's ordering it by the day only...

increment by 10;
end;
and i make a view form such of fields that user can enter a details o what he/she want to order!!
1- is that enough?
2- it seems there is an error in creating the sequence?? wrong way to create the sequence!!

I need to return an ordered list of documents. The documents may belong to a set id (optional) and if so, are either a "master" or a "duplicate" type. For each set there can be only one master but many duplicates. My goal is to group all the sets together such that each master is proceeded by its duplicates.
Table description:
document_master_duplicates
(
documentid,
duplicate_setid,
is_master
)
This needs to join to another table briefcase_documents which contains our set of documents. The briefcase / document relationship is many-to-many.
Table description:
briefcase_documents
(
briefcaseid,
documentid
)
There's also a documents table containing the documentid and among other things a page_count. In the following example I want to sort the documents first by page count but preserving the master/dupe grouping. Any documents which don't belong to a set or are just a duplicate without a master i want at the end of my set but also ordered by page count.
Here's an example set that I would want to order by:
DocumentId Page_Count SetId Is_Master
2002 2 1 0
2003 20 2 0
2008 20 NULL NULL
2010 20 4 0
2012 1 4 1
2001 5 1 1
2004 16 3 1
2011 17 4 0
2014 10 5 0
2009 9 NULL NULL
As you can see I have a little bit of everything here. Docs 2001 and 2002 are the typical set of 1 master and its duplicate. Docs 2010, 2011, and 2012 is the same just a set of 3. Doc 2004 is a master but without any duplicates. Docs 2003 and 2014 are duplicates without a master (these docs have a master in the table but that doc isn't in the set i need to order by). Docs 2008 and 2009 do not belong to a set and as such do not have a master/dupe type.
The result i'm looking to achieve will be ordered as follows:
DocumentId Page_Count SetId Is_Master
2012 1 4 1
2011 17 4 0
2010 20 4 0
2001 5 1 1
2002 2 1 0
2004 16 3 1
2009 9 NULL NULL
2014 10 5 0
2003 20 2 0
2008 20 NULL NULL
As I said above I first want to get the groupings of master/dupes and order ascending on the masters page count. For each duplicate of a master I then want to order the duplicates by page count. After I finished ordering all the master/dupe groups I then want to move on to the rest of the documents which will contain documents that don't belong to a set along with documents which are duplicates but have no master in my set. However, documents which are masters but without duplicates should have been ordered along with the other master/dupes groupings.
With this all in mind I have just been completely overwhelmed as to where to even start. Am I using analytic functions? Hierarchical stuff?

I need to order the result set with different data types based on the input parameter.
select * from scott.emp sc order by decode('&input_parameter',1,sc.empno,2, sc.ename);
If the input_parameter is equals to 1 then,ordering should be based on EMPNO which is Number data type.
If the input_parameter is equals to 2 then,ordering should be based on ENAME which is Character Data type.
Above query was failed for input_parameter 2,as we know that decode should return same data type.

I have two Oracle instances that are setup identically.When I run a query on one of them, it takes around 3 seconds, on the other it takes around 200 seconds.
I have looked at the explain plans, and it has shown me what I think is the problem. On one instance, it does a join on two tables, then runs the other filter/access predicates. On the other instance it runs the filter/access predicated first, then does the expensice join. The one that does the join first is the one that takes around 200 seconds. How to tell Oracle to make this join after runnning the other predicates?

Using Application Express 4.2.1.00.08
Any problem using 4.2's One Level Tabs - Content Frame page where you have a parent region (of type content frame Body Container ) while number of child regions (of type Hide & Show Region - Borderless ), if you want to re-order them by changing the sequence, it has no effect when you run the page.
The regions still show in the same order top to bottom as it did before the update of sequences. Heading links (to show/hide child regons in content frames) has the same ordering as before.

I have inherited a query that union alls 2 select statements, I added a further field to one of the select statements ( a date field). However I need to add another dummy field to the 2nd select statement so the union query marries up I have tried to do this by simply adding a
select
'date_on'
to add a field called date on populated by 'date_on' (the name of the column in the first query)
however when I run the union query i get the error Ora-01790 expression must have same datatype as corresponding expression.

I have data in a table and another in XML file,I used SQL query to retrive the data placed on the table, and link this query with XML query that retrieves the data stored in the xml file. The data stored in the table and xml file sharing a key field, but the xml contents are less than what in the table.I want to show only the data shared between the two queries, how can I do that?
e.g.:
Table emp:
e_id | e_name | e_sal
023 | John | 6000
143 | Tom | 9000
876 | Chi | 4000
987 | Alen | 7800
XML File
<e_id>
143
876
So, I want the output to be:
e_id | e_name | e_sal | e_fee
143 | Tom | 9000 | 300
876 | Chi | 4000 | 100

I am looking to simplify the below query,
DELETE FROM A WHERE A1 IN (SELECT ID FROM B WHERE BID=0) OR A2 IN (SELECT ID FROM B WHERE BID=0)
Since both the inner queries are same,I want to extract out to a local variable and then use it.
Say,
Array var = SELECT ID FROM B WHERE BID=0;
And then ,
DELETE FROM A WHERE A1 IN (var) OR A2 IN (var)
How to do this using SQLPLUS?

ColA1 ColA2 ColA3 ColA4 ColA5 AA 100 CC DD EE
Table B
ColB1 ColB2 ColB3 ColB4 ColB5 AA 100 40452 A9 CDE
when these two tables were joined like the following:
Select colA1,ColA2, ColA3, ColA4, ColB3,ColB4, ColB5 from table A Left outer join (select ColB3, ColB4, ColB5 from table B where colB3 = (select max(colB3) from table B ) on (colA1 = colB1 and ColA2 = col B2)
Now i have to join the next table C with table B
Table C structure is
ColD1 ColD2 ColD3 Desc1 A9 Executive Desc1 A7 Engineer
I have the common column such as ColD2 and colB4 to get the Col D3
how do i join the existing query + join between table b and table c?

I have a query that is pulling back more rows when I use the dblink than when I hit the linked database directly.
For example:
select
x,y,z
from
mytable@dblink
returns 788,324 rows
while
select
x,y,z
from
mytable
returns 712,102 rows
It's the exact same query, with the only difference being the dblink. It's not pulling the data into a cursor or array, it's a simple, straightforward query on a remote database.

Is there a technique to getting a Top-N query to work as a sub-select in a larger query -or- is there another way to generate Top-N like results that works as a sub-select?
Background:
We have a large query that is being used to build an export from a legacy HR system to a new one. Amount the data needed in the export is the employees primary phone number.
The legacy HR system allows multiple phone numbers to be stored in a simple table structure:
SELECT emp_id, phone_type, phone_number
FROM employee_phones
emp_idphone_typephone_number
------- --------------- -------------------
46021CELL2222222222
46021HOME1111111111
46021WORK3333333333
The new HR system does allow for multiple phone numbers, however they need a primary phone number identified and stored with the employee master information. (Subsequent phone numbers get stored in alternate table.)
From a business perspective, we have decided that if they have a HOME phone in the legacy system that should be the primary in the new system, if no HOME phone, then WORK, if no WORK then CELL.
That can be represented as:
SELECT *
FROM employee_people_phones
WHERE emp_id = '46021'
ORDER BY decode(phone_type, 'HOME', 'a', 'WORK', 'b', 'CELL', 'c', 'z')
emp_idphone_typephone_number
------- --------------- -------------------
46021HOME1111111111
46021WORK2222222222
46021CELL3333333333
Or similarly with Top N concept:
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT *
FROM employee_people_phones
WHERE emp_id = '46021'
ORDER BY decode(phone_type, 'HOME', 'a', 'WORK', 'b', 'CELL', 'c', 'z')) results
WHERE ROWNUM = 1
emp_idphone_typephone_number
------- --------------- -------------------
46021HOME1111111111
Or really what I want in my export:
SELECT phone_number
FROM (SELECT phone_number
FROM employee_people_phones
WHERE emp_id = '46021'
ORDER BY decode(phone_type, 'HOME', 'a', 'WORK', 'b', 'CELL', 'c', 'z')) results
WHERE ROWNUM = 1
phone_number
-------------------
1111111111
However, when the Top-N query is added as a sub-select in a larger query using the employee id from the larger query (WHERE emp_id = export.emp_id), it fails saying that �export.emp_id� is not a valid id.
(SELECT phone_number
FROM (SELECT phone_number
FROM employee_people_phones
WHERE emp_id = export.emp_id
ORDER BY decode(phone_type, 'HOME', 'a', 'WORK', 'b', 'CELL', 'c', 'z')) results
WHERE ROWNUM = 1)
1.Any way around this? Is it possible to put a Top-N (with a WHERE clause using data from the main query) in a sub-select?
2.Any alternatives (other than Top-N) to delivering a ROWNUM=1 result with a �custom� ORDER BY statement?
Other Notes: Yes, we know we could do two queries in the data conversion first deliver the bulk data to the target table, and then update with the phone numbers. However, for multiple reasons, that is less than desirable.

I am looking to get the maximum value for every 24 hour period for a month. So for example my date range can be defined by...
select to_date('&date','mm yyyy')-1 + level as DateRange
from dual
connect by level <= '&days'
...where I can provide the first date of the month and number of days in the month or a lesser value if less time is required. So, the results of the above query plus 24 for the range. I thought a some Googling would provide me what I needed, but my search came up empty.
I was hoping to do something like this...
select utctime, max(value) from table where utctime between.
