Query Return Results That Contain Duplicates - Only First Or Last Required
May 27, 2008
I have this query that returns results that contain duplicates(somewhat). I only want either the FIRST or LAST (either one is fine). Here is the query:
select unique PLLA.attribute4, PLA.item_description from po_lines_all PLA, po_line_locations_all PLLA
where PLLA.po_line_id = PLA.po_line_id
and PLLA.attribute4 is not null
So my output is something like this:
RCE12 This is an item for AUL1
RCE13 This is an item for PWEILL
RCE14 This is an item for AUL1
I just want either the RCE12 or RCE14 record and not both since they both have the same description.
I have a need to query a real time production database to return a set of results that spans a three day period. When the three days are consecutive it's easy but sometimes there is a 1 or two day gap between the days. For example I'm querying results from a group of people that work between Tuesday and Saturday. On a Wednesday I need t produce a set of results that spans Tuesday of the current week, and Saturday and Friday of the previous week; on Thursday I need to produce a set of results that that spans Wednesday and Tuesday of the current week and Saturday of the previous week.I'm using SQL Developer to execute the code.
ID Product Color Time-In 1 Apple Green May 2 Apple Red April 3 Pear Green May 4 Pear Green April 5 Plum Blue June
In SQL I want to return all 4 fields of the records except those records where Product and Color are identical - in that case it should return the latest (by name of month - preferred) or just the first it finds
So I should get these
1 Apple Green May 2 Apple Red April 3 Pear Green May 5 Plum Blue June
If I do a select distinct then I will only get those fields I test on (product and color), not the rest.
I've been having an issue and cannot figure it out for the life. First, here's an example set of the data I'm using so you can see exactly what I'm asking.
Emplid Effdt Effseq
10001 '01-JAN-99' 0
10001 '01-JUL-11' 0
10001 '01-JUL-11' 1
10001 '01-JUL-11' 2
10001 '01-JUL-12' 3
What I need to do here, is obtain 3 rows. The 3 rows I need are rows 1, 4, and 5. I need row 1 because its a completely different date. I need row 5 for the same reason: it's a different date. The issue arises with how I can obtain row 4. The problem is that because rows 2, 3, and 4 all have the same effective date(effdt), SQL Developer just returns one of those rows. Because those 3 rows all have the same effective date(effdt), the tie breaker becomes the effective sequence(effseq) number. When the effective date(effdt) is the same, you need to grab the maximum effective sequence(effseq) number and return that whole row's results such as the emplid, effdt, and effseq. It seems so straight forward and something you can use a subquery for, but its not that simple. Note, that you can specifically use the emplid = 10001 in any specific form because there's many employee id's. Also, the rows will not be in a specific order so you cannot just always grab rows 1, 4, and 5. Some employees may only have a single row in the database, and some may have 50 rows. Everything solely depends on the combination of employee id(emplid), effective date(effdt), and effective sequence(effseq) as the tie breaker.
Is there any way of returning output parameter values to calling environment before completion of procedure execution. I may achieve it by using GTTs, looking for any other way (because calling environment again need to issue select statement to retrieve data from GTT).
Example case:
Procedure have multiple ref cursors as out parameters. .... ... if exp1=exp2 then open v_ref_var1 for select ...from ... ; end; [code]..........
If the first if condition satisfies, ref cursor - v_ref_var1 data should be immediately available for the calling environment.
EMPLOYEEIDNUMBER(12,0) PUNCHDTM DATE TIMEZONEIDNUMBER(12,0)
I want to return any results where any employee id that has 2 different timezoneid's on the same date. I would actually like, if its possible, to select these entries to display on one row per employee per day. So for example
I don't understand why the custid is the same for each customer, and why it's selecting every customer and not just those with more than 150 gallons ordered.
For this one use the oil tables that you set up and use a subquery. Select the minimum average fall use from the house table. Then show all customers whose number of gallons delivered times two is greater than the minimum.
i have a good query but I thought i know the solution but actually I didn't it's very simple and straight forward but i didn't catch the rope terminal to follow now I have the following code
NOW I NEED A QUERY which will select the only translator who knows the languages written in where clause like if i specify two languages like 'italy' and 'english' the query should retrieve to me GH and SE also if i passed languages 'spainsh' and 'persia' it should return JH only
but if i passed languages like 'Italy' and 'Dutch' it should not return any thing (just : no rows selected)
i like to display a Table data like the below format,
Output:
EMPNO JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC 00094 122 153 145 224 245 545 114 544 444 111 555 222 00095 233 123 145 224 205 545 114 444 444 111 555 222 00096 163 123 145 224 215 545 114 551 444 111 555 222 00097 163 0 145 224 215 545 114 551 444 111 555 222 conditions:
where condition: where year = 2007
Table Structure:
create table HR_PAYSLIP ( EMP_NO VARCHAR2(6) not null, YEAR NUMBER(4) not null, MONTH NUMBER(2) not null, BASIC_PAY NUMBER(9,2), )
Insert Command;
INSERT INTO PAYSLIP (EMP_NO, YEAR,MONTH,BASIC_PAY) VALUES(00046, 2007, 1, 2314);
Pls Note: The above table data i have mentioned is an example with employee numbers and the basic_pay for all months in the particular year 2007, the employee no may be more and that must be displayed only one time like above for year 2007, and if the basic salary is zero for a month then it should be displayed as zero for a particular month
select distinct event_number from events_total WHERE event_id = 16395493 minus select distinct event_number from event_details_ford WHERE event_id = 16395493
result of which is : 6L2Z-7861693-AAC 6L2Z-7862187-CAC
i want to put this in dynamic sql where clause :
where event_number in ('6L2Z-7861693-AAC','6L2Z-7862187-CAC'). and if the result of the query is only one number, then where event_number in (6L2Z-7861693-AAC) result of the query can be NULL also. but i think i can use IF condition for "SELECT ..WHERE event_number in " query
so how can i put the results of query in one line, so that i can use it in where clause.
I am new to writing queries for an oracle database and I was giving a bit of challenge. Here's the situation. I have 3 tables I am using. 2 of the tables are being used to transpose people's names from rows to columns by account number (there are multiple people associated with each account). The last table is a pretty straight forward query. I can run each query by itself and I get the results I want. But when I try to compile the two together, I start getting a variety of errors. Below is the two queries:
Query 1 (returns about 1,500 rows): SELECT DISTINCT CAST (EIS_DW.ACCTCOMMONLOAN.ACCOUNT as VARCHAR(20)) as ACCOUNT_NUM, EIS_DW.ACCTCOMMONLOAN.ACCOUNT_STATUS, EIS_DW.ACCTCOMMONLOAN.MINOR_DESCRIPTION, EIS_DW.ACCTCOMMONLOAN.OWNER_NAME, [code]......
Ideally, I want to join these two queries on ACCOUNT and ACCTNBR. I have tried working my first query into my second query, but the best I get with that, is the 570 or so accounts, not all the accounts.
CREATE TABLE tmp_guid ( c1 raw(16) not null ,c2 raw(16) not null ); begin
[code]...
It seems that a combination of a unique index and extended stats are to blame. Removing any one of them causes the query to also produce correct results.Extended stats basically captures the fact that despite being unique, c1 depends on c2.
SELECT d_dtm, BTS_ID, CASE WHEN D_DTM = (D_DTM-24/24) THEN sum(V_ATT_CNT)
[Code]....
But it is not returning any results because of the "having" clause. I know it should return results because all I want it to do is in one column have the V_ATT for the current time period, and in the 2nd column, have the V_ATT 24 hours ago. I've checked the data and I should get results back but can't seem to figure out why this is not working...
When I execute the query, it returns the data (approx - 40,000 rows) in 1 min.But when I try to insert this data into another table (or create a table of this data) it takes me about 2 hours.
Tried using Materialized view, its again the same the refresh takes 2 hours.Basically here, what I am trying to do is the data from the above query is used to update the values in another table.What ever the procedure I am trying it takes 2 hours.
this is procedure to send email to multiple receipents
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE mail ( subject IN VARCHAR2,recievers VARCHAR2) IS sender VARCHAR2(30) := 'mailid';
[Code]...
i got procedure sucessfully created
execute mail('hi','mail id1,maildi2');
when i execute the procedure i get the following error
Error at line 1 ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 554 5.5.1 Error: no valid recipients ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 17 ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 98 ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 271 ORA-06512: at "SUPPLIER.MAIL", line 47 ORA-06512: at line 1
There are several stages for sql processing in 10g2 database concept document.The following stages are necessary for each type of statement processing:
■ Stage 1: Create a Cursor ■ Stage 2: Parse the Statement ■ Stage 5: Bind Any Variables ■ Stage 7: Run the Statement ■ Stage 9: Close the Cursor Optionally, you can include another stage: ■ Stage 6: Parallelize the Statement
Queries (SELECTs) require several additional stages, as shown in Figure 241:
■ Stage 3: Describe Results of a Query ■ Stage 4: Define Output of a Query ■ Stage 8: Fetch Rows of a Query
Stage 3: Describe Results of a Query The describe stage is necessary only if the characteristics of a query's result are not known; for example, when a query is entered interactively by a user. In this case, the describe stage determines the characteristics (datatypes, lengths, and names) of a query's result.
Stage 4: Define Output of a Query In the define stage for queries, you specify the location, size, and datatype of variables defined to receive each fetched value. These variables are called define variables. Oracle performs datatype conversion if necessary.
I still don't understand what's Stage 3: Describe Results of a Query and Stage 4: Define Output of a Query.
I need to generate a select query in runtime and store the results of it into a file.Each time the column name and table name in the query will differ.Now im able to generate the select query through for cursor but problem is to store the results to the file.I tried using plsql table,im able to get the values to that table and store the results to a file,but the results of the query is more then 10000 lines (it might increase also)where only 4000 characters where able to store in the plsql table.so rest of them are not stored in the file.
I used select distinct(work_order) to come up with the three different possible scenarios the problem is that i need all this information on a single row
this is a conversion for distance. when i get this to work properly, it will generate reports on thousands of work orders with their converted distance markers.
is there a way to return the next 7 dates just using a query... for example, I need a query that returns:
select (I don't know that put here) from dual
Date 2012-10-05 2012-10-06 2012-10-07 2012-10-08 2012-10-09 2012-10-10 2012-10-11
If possible, I would like to know if there's a way to pass a date and based on it, the query returns the next 7 dates based on the passed date... for example:
select (I don't know that put here) from dual where date > '2012-10-15'
Date 2012-10-16 2012-10-17 2012-10-18 2012-10-19 2012-10-20 2012-10-21 2012-10-22
I have an application connected to Oracle 11g that sends its own querys to the db based on what the user is clickng on. The applicaiton is connected via one user id and I was wondering, is there a way that I can capture the tiem each query starts, the sql itself, and the amount of time it took to fetch the data?
I've stucked with a query. I have a table that i store the IDs of logically equal records.
For example; A = B B = C X = Y Z = Y
My query must return all equivalent records. If you call the query with parameter 'A', the result set must contain B and C. And if you call the query with parameter 'Y', the result set will contain X AND Z. I have thought that i can write the query wity using start with connect by statement. But the query does not work as i expected. Here is my code and sample data:
create table temptable (ID1 number,ID2 number);/
insert into temptable values(11,12);/ insert into temptable values(12,13);/ insert into temptable values(13,14);/ insert into temptable values(13,15);/
SELECT distinct ID1 from ( SELECT * FROM temptable START WITH ID1 = 13 OR ID2 = 13 CONNECT BY NOCYCLE ( (PRIOR ID1 = ID1) OR (PRIOR ID1 = ID2) OR (PRIOR ID2 = ID1) OR (PRIOR ID2 = ID2)) ) WHERE ID1 <> 13 union [code]....
When i call the query with parameter 13, i'm expecting to get 11,12,14,15. But it returns only 12,14 and 15.
select order_number, (select decode(hcp.contact_point_purpose,'ABC',hcp.email_address,'CDE',hcp.email_address,null) from hz_contact_points, hz_parties hz WHERE hz.party_id=hcp.owner_table_id) Email FROM oe_order_headers_all h WHERE h.order_number='102' .................... ..............
Actually the problem i am facing is the inner select query is returning multiple row , so my main query is erroring out, i need to capture the multiple row.
In the above example the inner decode statement returning two mail address, I need to capture that, but while executing the whole query it is erroring out as saying single query returns multiple values. capture multiple values
I am Having below query which is having total 664 records and for WHERE Clause (accountno ='13987135') it is having 3 records but when i am taking count it is returning 3 at first time and again returning 4 every time from then onwords.
Id Country city 1 US 2 US Boston 3 Boston 4 US Newyork 5 London 6 Japan Tokyo
Im looking for a query which returns results based on both city and country passed.
If i pass country US and city Boston it should return row2 with US and Boston row If i pass country null and city Boston it should return row3 If i pass country UK and city Boston it should return row3 If i pass country UK and city London it should return row5
i.e. If country/city combination exists in DB return that row Else city row should be returned.
I am new to SQL and I am just wondering if there is a solution to a problem I am having.I am using the piece of code below.Essentially what I am doing is selecting a field from a table and ordering that field in descending order. Using the Row_Number feature I then specify which Row I want to return.
Every day the row I will want is the Count of field1 for that day divided by 100 minus 1. This returns a single value of field1 and a single value of R.
I perform this operation every day. The only fields I change every day are the dates and the value of R. I use a seperate piece of SQL code to calculate R each day.
My problem is I have to often populate historical tables with this data. I can only run the code once for each day and for each value of R. Is there anyway I can alter this code such that it can return multiple values of field1 over several dates?The only way I can think of is to repeat the code multiple times using UNION but I am hoping there is a more efficient way.
SELECT * FROM (SELECT Field1, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY field1 desc ) R FROM table WHERE date >= TO_DATE ('20110215', 'YYYYMMDD') AND date < TO_DATE ('20110216', 'YYYYMMDD') ) WHERE R = 1227 --Note: 1227 = (count(field1)/100)-1
