I have Event_month, Event_date in SELECT statement. Results of the query has NULL values as well.. I am doing ORDER BY Event_month, and I want NULL values to be at the top..
SELECT d.event_code_dt, count(d.event_number) count1
FROM main_event a,sec_event d
WHERE a.event_id = d.event_id(+)
GROUP BY d.event_code_dt
ORDER BY d.event_code_dt, count(d.event_number) desc
Results are like this
11-MAY-10
21-MAY-10
22-MAY-10
NULL
And I want results to be like this:
NULL
11-MAY-10
21-MAY-10
22-MAY-10
Same thing happens with Event_month
NULL

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 am trying group by count on Monthly basis, entered_timestamp Column is of DATE datatype.
select count(*),to_char(entered_timestamp,'MM-YYYY') MONTHLY from payments where type = 'BOOK' group by to_char(entered_timestamp,'MM-YYYY') order by MONTHLY DESC
Above SQL doesn't gives the output in proper order ,
I have table called INFO and the column called CREATED_DATE . Now the datatype of CREATED_DATE is of varchar2 . Now If I need to query the table through select statement where I need to order the result based on CREATED_DATE , how can i achieve this ?
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 WHERE C.CNAME IN (SELECT UPPER(A.COUNTY) FROM TEMP_AFF A)
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.
I have main query..And i written a Query for Issued Quantity. The query is retrieving exact data. And when i add the Query in main query the data is coming with extra null values.
for ex. Query for Issued Qty fetch 16 records. and i run the main query it fetch 20 records...there r 4 records which issued Qty is null. How can i restrict that records.
select col1, col2, col3, col4 from tab1, tab2, tab3 where conditions union
[Code]...
Now, the col4 is a date column and I have to order by the entire result sets on it. I know I can do it by (order by col4) or by (order by 4) at the end of the entire query.
But the problem is that, the output is coming in dd-Mon-yyyy (i.e 31-Nov-2012).
I want every output in dd/mm/yyyy format so I need to use to_char function.
But in that case, I cant use the order by clause, because in that case it is getting arranged by character i.e by 1,2,3,4,5 like this.
select to_char(exp_Date,'Mon-YYYY') dt, count(*) from exp_main where exp_type like 'Income%Photo%' group by to_char(exp_Date,'Mon-YYYY') order by exp_date
When I run this I get :not a GROUP BY expression
If I remove the order by, it works fine.
Is there a way to order by since the output of the query is character-sorted.
I did search online most have suggested to use order by column_name. But does not work for me.
How can I use OR condition in sql to check whether if the 6 col values in a row is NULL, I need something like below, but idk the syntax of checking if either of the mentioned cols is null using an or condition.
select a.mid FROM table_a a JOIN table_b b ON a.dept = b.dept JOIN table_c c ON b.eid = c.eid WHERE a.tid = :tid AND (a.i1 or a.i2 or a.i3 or a.n1 or a.n2 or a.n3 or a.t1 or a.t2 or a.t3 ) IS NULL
There is a table with column holding 3 NULL values one each in every record. When a count function is applied to the column with a filter on NULLs,it returns 0 instead of 3.
But when count(*)is applied,expected result is returned. Would be interested in knowing about this strange behavior of NULL/Count.
i want to add the JCalendar.jar and JCalendarJinit.jar in order to use the date picker on my forms while using a windows environment,what attributes should i change or edit in the forms/server/formsweb.cfg file and what else am i required to add?
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.
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 01 revenue 2000 5000 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 01 costing 500 1000 02 excise 8000 900
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 * 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

Where every first row is the initial entry for an order and following rows are the changes done to the order with modification date
Things_t Things Characteristic Char Value Item 1 Colour Red Item 1 Packaging Item 2 Shape Square Item 2 Brand Spunk
Now i want to reterive an item with none of its char values as Null. Using the query “ select distinct things from things_t where char value is Null ” will fetch the item 1 also together with item 2. i want to fetch a record from thing for which none of the char values are Null such as Item 2.
I have a question regarding a Date field on one of my form.
How do I make a Date field filter in a descending order when the form is opened? Also, can I add a 'when-mouse-doubleclick' trigger to sort the date field in ascending and descending order (this is a client requirement)?
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
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 .
