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.

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

SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Insert Values Into Another Column By Comparing Values Of Two Columns Of Same Table

Dec 23, 2010

My scenario is to insert values into 'out' column by comparing 's' and 'IP' columns of temp table.The exact situation is at first need to go to ip column,take a value and then go to source column and check for the same value of ip which is taken previously.Then after corresponding ip of that source column should be inserted back in previous source column.

The situation is marked clearly in file which i am attaching with '--' comments at respective places.I am also pasting the code which i tried out,unfortunately it is giving error as exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows since there are duplicates in the table.I tried it using nested for loops.Also implemented using rowid,but it didnt work.

fixing the errors or if there is any new logic that can be implemented.

DECLARE
i_e NUMBER(10);
BEGIN
FOR cur_1 IN(SELECT IP from temp where IP IS NOT NULL)
LOOP
FOR cur_2 IN(SELECT IP from temp where s=cur_1.IP)

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.

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

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?

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?

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

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 .
