Replacing Null Values Of Outer Join With Meaningful Values

Dec 3, 2010

I have a scenario where I have to get all the available dates of a resource. I am using the below query to get it.

Select Avail_Date AS MONTH
, Resource_Id
FROM res_tsk
, (SELECT Rownum - 1 + TRUNC (sysdate) avail_date
FROM Dual
[code].......

The result of this is:

Month Dates Resource_ID
12/3/10 0:00 NULL
12/4/10 0:00 NULL
12/5/10 0:00 NULL
12/6/10 0:00 100033868

As I am doing a outer join, if the resource is not available on a particular day the resource_id is coming as NULL as it is not available. Is there any way to populate this NULL resource_id with the original resource_id as the resource_id is same for all the result set.

I need the output to be

Month Dates Resource_ID
12/3/10 0:00 100033868
12/4/10 0:00 100033868
12/5/10 0:00 100033868
12/6/10 0:00 100033868

I am using left outer join to fetch PRSN_KEY .I need to find null values in B.PRSN_KEY. I am using below query but its giving me 0 count.

select count(*) from (

Handling NULL Values?

Jan 23, 2013

I have 2 tables, AFF_TEMP and COUNTY
AFF_TEMP has the following columns FNAME, LNAME, EMAIL and COUNTY
COUNTY has 2 columns COUNTY_ID and CNAME

Both tables have the following test data
AFF_TEMP
Joe, Bloggs, joe@gmail.com, ''
Ann, Bloggs, anne@gmail.com,Donegal

and COUNTY column in AFF_TEMP can contain a NULL value

County table has the following Test data,
1, Dublin
2, Donegal
3, Tipperary,
4, Galway

I am trying to select the following from both tables FNAME, LNAME, EMAIL, COUNTY_ID.Tried the following queries
select a.FNAME, a.LNAME,a.EMAIL, C.COUNTY_ID FROM temp_aff A LEFT OUTER JOIN COUNTY C ON A.COUNTY=C.CNAME
OR (A.COUNTY IS NULL)
select a.FNAME, a.LNAME,a.EMAIL, C.COUNTY_ID FROM temp_aff A, COUNTY C

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.

Query Ignore Null Values

Aug 5, 2010

My query is ignoring the null value

CODEselect count(*) as COUNT from EMP where EMP_ID in '1001,1002,1003'

returns the result as

CODECOUNT
----------------------
0
1
2

EMP_ID '1001' has 0 records(i.e., EMP_ID 1001 doesnt exists in the table)
EMP_ID '1001' has 2 records
EMP_ID '1001' has 3 records

where as the query

CODEselect count(*) as COUNT, EMP_ID from EMP where EMP_ID in '1001,1002,1003' group by EMP_ID

returns the result as

CODECOUNT | EMP_ID
---------------------
1     | 1002
2     | 1003

I want the null value also to be counted when I run the second query i.e., the output should be like

CODECOUNT | EMP_ID
---------------------
0     | 1001
1     | 1002
2     | 1003

INSERT Values In A VIEW With INNER JOIN

Aug 5, 2011

I have a question related with VIEWS

I would like INSERT data in a VIEW with a INNER JOIN, like this example:

CODECREATE VIEW MYVIEW (order_id,list_price,customer_id) AS
SELECT order_id, list_price, customer_id FROM ORDERS o
INNER JOIN PRODUCT_INFO p ON (o.order_id= p.pdt_id);

INSERT INTO MYVIEW VALUES (4,500,10); /* will cause an error*/

But when I try to execute the insert statement, the "SQL Developer" returns a error:

ORA-01779 - "cannot modify a column which maps to a non key-preserved".

Why can't I do it? Are there some way to do it?

SQL & PL/SQL :: Interval Partitioning And NULL Column Values

Mar 12, 2010

Our organization is attempting to learn more about the partitioning features of Oracle 11g. I've been reading the partitioning manuals, and I have not found a clear answer on this topic, but I suspect I know the answer.

If you create a range partitioned table; using interval partitioning, say something like this:

CREATE table range_parti (
CODE NUMBER(5),
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(50),
CREATED_DATE DATE)
PARTITION BY RANGE (created_date)
INTERVAL (NUMTOYMINTERVAL(1,'MONTH'))
(
PARTITION my_parti VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-NOV-2007','DD-MON-YYYY'))
);

but you try to insert a null value as the partition key, you get the following error:

SQL> INSERT INTO range_parti VALUES (1,'one',NULL);
INSERT INTO range_parti VALUES (1,'one',NULL)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-14400: inserted partition key does not map to any partition
Elapsed: 00:00:00.07

Is there no way to tell it to use a default partition for NULL values? Or specifically designate a partition for NULL values WITHOUT having to manually list out each partition? It seems it works if you don't use the INTERVAL keyword, list out your partitions, and use MAXVALUE. However, our hope to avoid having that as it creates monstrously huge DDL statements for tables that have lots of date ranges, and we will be forced to manually add new partitions each month as data is added/time passes.

It appears from my experience so far, if your column can allow nulls, you cannot use interval range partitioning on that column.

Precompilers, OCI & OCCI :: NULL Values In C Structures?

May 18, 2010

I use a cursor to select records from a database table into a C structure as follows...

{
int iLoop = 0;
int iResult = 0;

[Code]....

The otc_multiplier field is NULL. As is the to_date sometimes. However, when I output the records later, the entries where the to_date is NULL come out fine (no value). But the otc_multiplier is getting output as 0.0 using...

// this is output later in another fuction using the following..
sprintf(newRecord, "%.1f",daServiceRecs->itemMultiplier);

If using c structures in this manner, what is the method for ensuring that numeric values are set to NULL when required?

I have a report in report 6 which has static field where values are shown for previous year and for current year. the output of the report will be like this

sl no department prev year cur year

02 costing 500 1000
03 excise 8000 900
and so on....

I have a created a fomula field for each and every department and get the value from a particular table. What i require is if suppose the department revenue does not have any value then that row should not be visible. for eg if revenue has a null value then the report should be like this

sl no department prev year cur year

ODP.NET :: Null Values In (ref) Attributes - C# Odp Type Factory?

Nov 22, 2012

I'm using the odp.net type factory (class IOracleCustomType and the specific annotations...) to map udts to c# classes.By now I had no problems with it, because I've never used "ref" attributes within the udts.Now I need the use of "ref" attributes within udts but it seems that the odp factory cannot handle those references.

For example:_*

A Simple Type:
create or replace type bookcontent_t force as object (
    id number(20)
  , name varchar2(1000)
);*And a collection with references to objects of this type:*

create or replace type fms_bookcontent_ref_cln force as table of *ref* bookcontent_t;The c# class is generated by odp.net.

When I retrieve data by using odp.net I get a collection with the correct number of elements but the values are null.What can I do to solve this problem with "ref" attributes/lists? How can I get the referenced object instances?

PL/SQL :: Get Not Null Recent Values From History Data?

SELECT *
FROM
(
SELECT 1 ORDR_ID, TO_DATE('01-JAN-2012', 'DD-MON-YYYY') INWD_DATE, 5 SIZE_, 'APD' Colr_CD FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 1 ORDR_ID, TO_DATE('15-JAN-2012', 'DD-MON-YYYY') INWD_DATE, NULL SIZE_, 'KPD' Colr_CD FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 1 ORDR_ID, TO_DATE('16-JAN-2012', 'DD-MON-YYYY') INWD_DATE, NULL SIZE_, 'ALD' Colr_CD FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 2 ORDR_ID, TO_DATE('02-JAN-2012', 'DD-MON-YYYY') INWD_DATE, 9 SIZE_, 'APD' Colr_CD FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 2 ORDR_ID, TO_DATE('05-JAN-2012', 'DD-MON-YYYY') INWD_DATE, 10 SIZE_, '' Colr_CD FROM DUAL UNION ALL

[code]....

Where every first row is the initial entry for an order and following rows are the changes done to the order with modification date

And the expected output is

ORDR_ID     Start_date     End_date     SIZE_     COLR_CD
1     01-01-12     01/15/2012     5     APD

2     01-02-12     01-05-12     9     APD
2     01-05-12     01-06-12     10     APD

SQL & PL/SQL :: Query To Return Not Null Column Values With Priority

Dec 22, 2011

I have a table with multiple rows for the KEY attribute(its not a primary key) and a Rank for each row.

I want a query which fetches one row per KEY attribute.The row with lesser Rank should be considered. But in-case if the value is null for any column the value for next Rank should be considered.

WITH TMP_TBL AS
(
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT 'A' DUN,'1' RNK,'A21' col1,NULL col2,'A41' col3,NULL col4 FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'A','2','A122','A23',NULL,NULL FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'A','3','A32','A33',NULL,'A35' FROM dual
[code].......

DUN is the KEY attribute . RNK is the Rank for each Row. COL1... COL4 are data attributes

The results I am expecting is

DUNCOL1 COL2 COL3 COL4
AA21 A23 A41 A35
BB12 B23 B15
CC12 C13 C33 C14

I want this to be done with SQL only. So I tried various ways but none were successful.Finally I created a Multi Row function row_nvl and it worked.

SELECT DUN,
row_nvl(rownvl_param_type(RNK,col1)),
row_nvl(rownvl_param_type(RNK,col2)),
row_nvl(rownvl_param_type(RNK,col3)),
row_nvl(rownvl_param_type(RNK,col4))
FROM TMP_TBL
GROUP BY DUN

But I don't think my manager will allow me to deploy a Multi Row function .

I am using sql loader to load data to tables from tab delimeted files.

Here the problem is that the sql loader is not handling null values. If there is any null value in the flat file it is moving the field values to left and loading to the table. I am using NVL function to handle the null values, but it is not working.

My control file is:

Performance Tuning :: Handling NULL Values In The Database?

Feb 6, 2012

We have database with multiple fields containing NULL values and in many queries we have NVL function which in turn is suppressing the index usage when in fact it is really essential (selectying very few rows from massive data) instead of creating lot of Function based indexes (NVL) or composite indexes with (nullable_column, constant) I am thinking of settting a default value for most of the fields In that regard I have some queries :

Which approach is better - setting default value for the fields or updating the fields with default value and modyfing inserts to take care of future data? Though altering table and modifing column to set default value looks better considering it will take care of data inserted in the future, it will invalidate the subroutines.I understand in 10g both statement will generate lot of undo (though in 11g, I heard things changed for setting default value of a column) How to take care of all the queries which are using the criteria 'where column1 IS NULL' or 'where column1 IS NOT NULL'. It will be really difficult task to manually change each and every occurrence of such condition even using user_source.

Finally for numeric values say for ID field which starts from 1 onwards 2,3,4 etc, we can set 0 as sensible default so that the performance is not affected.

Is there such precaution for varchar2 field purely from performance point of view?
