SQL & PL/SQL :: Left Join With Fixed String Failed?

Jun 17, 2010

I have the following 2 SQLs ; one return 1 row, another one is no row returned.

select v.value
from v$parameter v
where v.name = 'cpu_count';

return value "1"

select o.value
from v$osstat o
where o.stat_name = 'NUM_CPU_CORES';

No row returned.

combine the above two in to 1 SQL, and return 1 , null or 1, 1. I assume we can get it with left join for the condition "o.stat_name (+) = 'NUM_CPU_CORES'" , but no row returned for the following SQL. How could we get the result for 1, null for this case?

select v.value, o.value -- or NVL(o.value, 1)
from v$parameter v, v$osstat o
where v.name = 'cpu_count'
and o.stat_name (+) = 'NUM_CPU_CORES';

no row returned

SQL & PL/SQL :: Use Greater And Less Than In Left Join?

Apr 9, 2013

I am creating a query where I am trying to take phone call lengths and put them into buckets of length ranges 0:00 - 0:59, 1:00 - 1:59 etc. Even if there are no calls in the call table I need to return the range with a zero (hence the left join and nvl). When I do this the left join acts like an equal join, I suspect there is some reason left joins only work if there is an equal condition in the join (instead of >= and < that I use, or similarly I could use BETWEEN). I also have a question about performance (below).

The create table script for the lookup is like this:

CREATE TABLE DURATION_RANGES
(
RANGE_TEXT varchar2(20),
RANGE_LBOUND decimal(22),
RANGE_UBOUND decimal(22)
)

Sample inserts are:

INSERT INTO DURATION_RANGES (RANGE_TEXT,RANGE_LBOUND,RANGE_UBOUND) VALUES ('00:00 - 00:59',0,59);
INSERT INTO DURATION_RANGES (RANGE_TEXT,RANGE_LBOUND,RANGE_UBOUND) VALUES ('01:00 - 01:59',60,119);
etc.

The query is:
select
r.range_text as duration_range,
nvl(count(*),0) as calls,
nvl(SUM(call_duration),0) as total_duration
from

[code]...

As I say, it is not returning all ranges in the duration_ranges table, so acting like an inner join. I realize one solution would be to populate duration ranges with every value possible (instead of ranges) so join is an equal join, but that would make the duration_range table larger.

My questions:
1. Is it possible to get the left join to work with the duration range values as they currently are?
2. Even if 1 is possible, would it be better performance to have exact values (but a larger lookup table) and do an equals join instead of >=, < or BETWEEN? Performance now is not bad.

What I mean is (with only one time value and not lbound and ubound:

INSERT INTO DURATION_RANGES (RANGE_TEXT,RANGE_LBOUND,RANGE_UBOUND) VALUES ('00:00 - 00:59',0);
INSERT INTO DURATION_RANGES (RANGE_TEXT,RANGE_LBOUND,RANGE_UBOUND) VALUES ('00:00 - 00:59',1);
INSERT INTO DURATION_RANGES (RANGE_TEXT,RANGE_LBOUND,RANGE_UBOUND) VALUES ('00:00 - 00:59',2);

SQL & PL/SQL :: LEFT JOIN And NVL Isn't Working

Nov 29, 2011

Using Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production

Here's a simplified version of the query I am having problems with:

SELECT
assoc.association_id
FROM mentor_initiative mi
LEFT JOIN program assoc_prog ON assoc_prog.program_id = -1
LEFT JOIN mentor_association assoc ON assoc.mentor_initiative_id = mi.mentor_initiative_id AND
NVL(assoc_prog.program_id, -1) = NVL(assoc.program_id, -1)

Note that there is no program with program id -1. So the assoc_prog left join will come up with nothing. I was thinking that since assoc_prog.program_id will be null, the second assoc left join would pick the row where assoc.program_id is null. However, the second left join doesn't join to any row.

In this query, it does join to an assoc row (I changed assoc_prog.program_id to NULL)

SELECT
assoc.association_id
FROM mentor_initiative mi
LEFT JOIN program assoc_prog ON assoc_prog.program_id = -1
LEFT JOIN mentor_association assoc ON assoc.mentor_initiative_id = mi.mentor_initiative_id AND NVL(NULL, -1) = NVL(assoc.program_id, -1)

I was thinking it would join to an assoc row in the first query though. How can I change the first query to have the desired effect of left joining to a row where assoc.program_id is null if assoc_prog.program_id is null?

SQL & PL/SQL :: Left Outer Join Or Function

Oct 13, 2010

I have two tables employee_master and employee_time. There could be situation that record from employee_master does not exist in employee_time.

create table employee_master(employee_id number, employee_name varchar2(100));

insert into employee_master values(1, 'employee 1');
insert into employee_master values(2, 'employee 2');
insert into employee_master values (3, 'employee 3');

create table employee_time(employee_id number, project_id number, project_type varchar2(20), time_date date, hours number)
insert into employee_time values(1, 100, 'Billable', '01-Oct-2010', 10);
insert into employee_time values(1, 200, 'Billable', '02-Oct-2010', 9);
insert into employee_time values(1, 210, 'Non Billable', '03-Oct-2010', 10);
insert into employee_time values(2, 100, 'Billable', '01-Oct-2010', 10);
insert into employee_time values(2, 200, 'Billable', '02-Oct-2010', 9);

The requirement is to show all the employees from employee_master and with total billable hours and non billable hours, if not exist, show zero.The output will be:

Employee_ID Employee_Name Total_Billable_Hours Total_Non_Billable
1 Employee1 19 10
2 Employee2 19 0
3 Employee3 0 0

The question is to write a Left outer join query or to write a PL/SQL function which can return total rows if Employee_ID is supplied to it as a parameter

Query 1:
Select Employee_ID, Employee_name, sum(Billable), sum(Non_Billable)
From
(
Select a.Employee_ID, a.employee_name,
decode(b.project_type, 'Billable', hours, 0) as Billable,
decode(b.project_type, 'Non Billable', Hours, 0) as Non_Billable
from employee_master a
left outer join employee_time b on a.Employee_ID=b.Employee_ID
)
Group by Employee_ID, Employee_Name

Query 2:
Select Employee_ID, Employee_Name, func_billable(Employee_ID) as Billable, func_non_billable(Employee_ID) as Non_Billable
From Employee_Master

Which query is good from the performance perspective? In real situation the employee_time is a very huge table.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Joining A Query Instead Of Using Left Join?

joining this query instead of using the left join. Reason is want to show the score column in a different place and also do not want to show the second IPS column that is used in the joined query.

select * from

SQL & PL/SQL :: Incorrect LEFT JOIN Results In 11gR2?

Jul 20, 2011

We just upgraded to 11g and have run into incorrect results for some of our LEFT JOINs. If the table, view, subquery, or WITH clause that is being LEFT JOINed to contains any constants, the results are not correct.

For example, a test (nonsensical) view such as the following is created:

create or replace view fyvtst1 as
select spriden_pidm as fyvtst1_pidm,
'Sch' as fyvtst1_test
from spriden
where spriden_last_name like 'Sch%' ;

When I run the following query, I get correct results; that is, only those with "Sch" starting their last name are listed.

select spriden_pidm, spriden_last_name, fyvtst1_pidm, fyvtst1_test
from spriden
join fyvtst1 on fyvtst1_pidm = spriden_pidm ;

However, when I change the JOIN to a LEFT JOIN, the last column contains "Sch" for all rows, instead of NULL:

select spriden_pidm, spriden_last_name, fyvtst1_pidm, fyvtst1_test
from spriden
left join fyvtst1 on fyvtst1_pidm = spriden_pidm ;

We've discovered other quirky things related to this. A WITH clause with similar logic as the above view, when LEFT JOINed to a table will also cause the constant to appear in each row, instead of NULL (and only the value where there is a join). But when additional columns are added to the WITH, it behaves correctly.

This is easy enough to rewrite - but we have WITHs and views containing constants in numerous places, and cannot hope to track down every single one successfully before the incorrect results are used.

Finally, the NO_QUERY_TRANSFORMATION hint will force the query to work correctly. Unfortunately, it has a huge negative performance impact (one query ran for an hour, vs. 1 second in 10g).

PL/SQL :: Left Outer Join Drama - SQL Command Not Properly Ended?

Oct 16, 2012

What I am trying to do is get my report to list every room in the table even if there is nothing scheduled in the room for the selected date. I add a command to the report to force the left outer join but I keep running into errors. This is how I have it worded:

SELECT
"ROOM"."ROOM_ID",
"PATIENT_CARE_EVENT"."OR_NUM"
FROM
"ROOM"."ROOM" LEFT OUTER JOIN "PATIENT_CARE_EVENT"."PATIENT_CARE_EVENT"
ON "PATIENT_CARE_EVENT"."OR_NUM"="ROOM"."ROOM_ID" AND "PATIENT_CARE_EVENT"."PROCEDURE_DATE_DT" IN {?Start Date} TO {?End Date}

Someone else suggested that I change the IN/TO wording in the last line to BETWEEN/AND. When I do that it gives me an error stating that the table or view does not exist.

The query returns the correct data, CourseList that are not subset of any other CourseList of the table.

I am trying to convert this not exists in a left outer join query to check if the performance is better, but I don't know how to do it.

I was making some variations of this code :

select d1.courses c_1, d2.courses c_2
from department d1,department d2
where d1.courses<>d2.courses(+);

Load Into Oracle Table Of A Fixed Width File

i have a problem in my ODI 11g with the load into Oralce table of a fixed width file, i configured all the datasource in ODI and when i do view data i see all correct, the end of file is signed like "0D0A" but when i try my load interface i receive the message that my last field is more big than the one declared.

My file have an header of fields and the last field is a data-field of 2000 characters. I controlled and is really fixed the length cause is a COBOL file from a Mainframe. So it looks that ODI don't understand the end of that field and go ahead to the other, i just tryed to enlarge the limit but is always more big like if the file is shifting on the right.

Have i forgot some configuration in some place? The definition of the file present the end of file like Microsoft hexadecimal \u000D\u000A i try all the combination there but no way to avoid this problem.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Normal Join And Outer Join

Oct 19, 2013

Lets say I have three tables t1 and t2 and t3.

SELECT * FROM T1;

Id
____
1
2
3
4

SELECT * FROM T2;

Id
____
1

SELECT * FROM T3;

Id
____
1

Now when data exists in T2 and T3, I want to return only the records in T1 that match the records in T2 and T3 which is basically a normal join

select t1.id from t1, t2,t3 where t1.id = t2.id and t1.id = t3.id

However when there are no records in T2 or T3, I want to return all records in T1 i.e 1,2,3,4

One way of doing that is using the not exists clause

select * from t1 where not exists ( select null from t2 where t2.Id != t1.id) and not exists ( select null from t3 where t1.Id != t3.id)

Is there a better way of doing this in sql ?
