Jun 17, 2008I have a table1:
userid, name, town.
Now i want to do a self join like:
select a.name, b.name, a.town
from table1 a
inner join table1 b
on a.town = b.town
where a.first_name <> b.first_name AND
a.last_name <> b.last_name
i added the where clause to limit duplicates i would get but i still get duplicates eg. A B london, B A london etc.
Using Subqueries In JOINS
Sep 30, 2011In mys store procedure I am using a subquery with INNER JOIN. This subquery calls a user defined function which takes main query fields as parameter values. But i am facing issue for accessing main query fields. my query is like below:
SELECT
ID, Name, sub.Desc, sub.Date
FROM MainTable main
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT * FROM RMF_GetData(main.ID)
) sub
ON main.ContactID = sub.ContactID
I need data from a function in a table format based on some case conditions. Hence i need to join it with main table. But here oracle gives error as "invalid identifier" for main.ID parameter.
Query To Use Joins
Mar 11, 2009SELECT so.* FROM shipping_order so WHERE (so.submitter = 20)
OR (so.requestor_id IN (SELECT poc.objid FROM point_of_contact poc WHERE poc.ain = 20))
OR so.objid IN (SELECT ats.shipping_order_id FROM ac_to_so ats WHERE (ats.access_control_id IN (selectac. objid FROM access_control ac WHERE ac.ain = 20
OR ac.group IN ('buyers', 'managers'))))
rewrite this query to use joins. That would greatly simplify my sql query building code. The ids, objids, submitter, ain are numeric and group is a varchar.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Joins With COUNT
Nov 16, 2011I pulled in 1121 SSN's into a table and am using that table as the basis for returning data from other tables...including how many documents a user has in their folder.
My query; however, is only returning 655 rows...it is returning only those rows that have documents in their folders. I want to return ALL rows...WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE A DOCUMENT COUNT (count(*)). How can I get all 1,121 rows to return? I would like the output to look like:
SSN LOCATION EMP_STATUS FOL_STATUS COUNT(*)
-- For those folders containing documents:
XXX-XX-XXXX WHATEVER WHATEVER WHATEVER 12
-- For those folders containing 0 documents:
XXX-XX-XXXX WHATEVER WHATEVER WHATEVER NULL
Here is the query in it's current state:
-- Get User/Folder/Doc Count Information
SELECT b.ssn,
b.location,
b.emp_status,
c.fol_status,
COUNT (*)
[Code]....
So again, my problem here is that...not all FOLDERS contain DOCUMENTS...but I still want the folder data lised...I just need it listed with either a zero count (0), or a NULL in the COUNT(*) column.
I'm trying the various joins, but none of them seem to be working.
I've tried the old 8i (+) join as follows:
AND c.fol_id = d.doc_fol_id(+)
I've tried the inner join:
AND c.fol_id(+) = d.doc_fol_id
...and I've tried the 9i method (left outer and full outer) using the following types of notations:
folder c full outer join documend d on c.fol_id = d.doc_fol_id
...so far, no luck. I'm still having only 655 rows returned (the 655 are those folders that HAVE document count > 0. Any folder that has zero documents in the document table just aren't being returned in the query.)

Remote DB Query With Joins?
Feb 23, 2012We have access to a remote Oracle database in Germany and need to insert selected data to our local Oracle database. Our problem is that we have to do several joins (7 tables) on the remote database as well as using one where clause (always the same: P.T_LIEF_LFNT_1='12803193').
Unfortunately we do not have rights to create a view on the remote database. Is there another way to send the entire query to the remote database for processing? Also, the query returns approximately 34,000 rows.
Here is our current query:
INSERT INTO PRIMUS(PARTNO,
SORT_FORMAT,

SQL Tuning - String Of One-to-one Joins
Oct 1, 2013I have a query I am trying to tune. It presently takes anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours to run, depending on how many records the client has. But it needs to run several hundred times, and finish over the course of a weekend. When it runs over, we have problems.
Here's the basic structure of the query:
CODESELECT ...
FROM main_tab,
tab_a,
tab_b,
tab_c,
...
tab_z
WHERE main_tab.client_id = :1
AND main_tab.unique_id = tab_a.unique_id(+)
AND main_tab.unique_id = tab_b.unique_id(+)
AND main_tab.unique_id = tab_c.unique_id(+)
...
AND main_tab.unique_id = tab_z.unique_id(+);
All of the tables are indexed (and statistics are gathered) on the field unique_idMain_tab has an index on client_id.There is a one-to-one join (sometimes one-to-zero, thus the outer join) from the main_tab table to all the other tables.These are static tables, they're wiped and recreated - no changes, inserts, deletes.
By default, the optimizer does a full table scan and then a hash join on every single of the 26 tab_a through tab_z tables, only using the index on main_tab.
By the way I can add indexes, possibly even to the point of adding an index on some tables that would include all the fields found in the select clause on that table. But I cannot change the table structure (by, say, combining these tables together).
SQL & PL/SQL :: Using NVL2 To Control Joins
Jan 5, 2012I am trying to control which tables are joined based on a null value, so I figured I could use the NVL2.
Here is the code as it stands
NVL2(TBL_TRANSACTIONS.EQUIPSVCSEQ, TBL_EQUIPANDSERVICES.LASTWORKORDERSEQ, TBL_TRANSACTIONS.WORKORDERSEQ)
= TBL_WORKORDERS.WORKORDERSEQ (+)
To explain, if first value is null, then TBL_EQUIPANDSERVICES.LastWOSeq = tbl_workorders.workorderseq (+), otherwise join the transaction.workorderseq.
When I try and execute this code, I'm given "ORA-01417: a table may be outer joined to at most one other table." I've double checked, TBL_Workorders is not joined with any other table in any select.
Now, the EquipandServices.workorderseq is joined (+) with another table.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Selecting First Row From Multiple Joins?
Apr 2, 2010I'm putting together a path to select a revision of a particular novel:
SELECT e.documentname, e.Revision, e.VersionNumber
FROM Catalog, BookInCatalog
INNER JOIN NovelMaster
INNER JOIN HasNovelRevision
INNER JOIN NovelRevision e
LEFT JOIN NovelRevision s
[code]...
My goal here is to select the earliest revision from the set of Novel revision. The revision field is a string.
When I run the query for Novels that have multiple revisions I get multiple records. If there is just one record I only get one row. If there are two I get four (two for each revision). As the number of revision increases it looks like it just mushrooms from there.
One other challenge is the format of the revision- a revision sequence could look like this:
A
B
C1
C2
C
D
E1
E
So there are "intermediate" revision referred to by a number. In this case I would select revision A, but if I had:
A1
A
B1
B
I would want to select B. I am pretty sure that all the revision are stored in the db in order.Notice that the comparison operator ">" is used in e.Revision > s.Revision. I initially though it should have been "<" because we want to select the initial but the other way gives me the right order (though the wrong results).

Sep 29, 2010I am working on a new project in OBIEE. I am asked to do the data modeling in the database using oracle sql developer. I have to create the joins based on the requirements. I have the tables created already. But the primary keys for few tables are not defined for few tables. PK-FK joins are also not done properly.
My questions are
(1) If I have to define the primary key for the existing tables can I do that using the alter table command or should I create the table all over again and then define it?
(2) If I have to make the changes in the existing PK-FK joins how do i go about doing that?
SQL & PL/SQL :: NULL In Left Joins

PL/SQL :: Nested Loops On Outer Joins

Massive Delete (2 Joins Required) With No Partitioning
Oct 25, 2011I'm experiencing some infinite loop for my delete. I tried many way to deal with this problem but still take too much time. I will try to be clear as possible.
I have 4 implicated table in this problem.
The deletion is done depending of the pool_id given
Table 1 contain the pool_id
Table 2 the ticket_id foreign join ticket_pool_id with the pool_id
Table 3 ticket_child_id foreign join ticket_id with the ticket_id
Table 4 ticket_grand_child_id foreign ticket_child_id join with the ticket_child_id
Concerned count for each
table 1---->1
table 2---->1 200 000
table 3---->6 300 000
table 4---->6 300 000
So in fact it`s 6.3M+6.3M+1.2M+1 row to be deleted
Here`s the constraint :
-No partintionning
-Oracle version 9
-Online all the time so no downtime neither CTAS
-We cannot use cascade constraint
-The normalization is very important
Here`s what I tried:
-Bulk delete
-Delete with statement (In and Exists clause)
-temp table for each level and 1 level join
-procedure and commit each 20k
None of those worked in a decent time frame like less then one hour. The fact that we cannot base a delete on one of the column value is not working. Is there a way I'm getting desperate now
SQL & PL/SQL :: Joins - Find Missing Records Between Two Tables?
Mar 7, 2010I have two tables A with columns a.key, a.location_code, a.status and a.first_name and table B with cols b.key, b.location_code, b.status and b.first_name.
I want to find the missing records between the two tables and as well check whether each column is populated correctly. That is if u take a record with id 1 check if loc_code is same in both the tables and if they are different, insert the key and first record column and second record column into a new table. And similarly if there is no record wiht that particular id in the second table, insert the record.
For missing records in the sense for records which are present in A but not in B, am using
Select a.key_no, a.loc_code, b.loc_code
from A,B
where a.key_no=b.key_no(+)
and b.key_no IS NULL
But the problem is I need to put some constraints on the B table like b.status='Married'and b.loc_code='CA'. When am using this condition in the above query, it's throwing me error saying cannot use outer join operator in and or or.And I could not figure out how to check for the columns being populated correctly between the two tables and at the same time check for missing ones
SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Implement Pagination For Large Table Joins
Sep 2, 2011I have two large tables(rptbody and rpthead) which has over millions or even more records. Below is the table schema
describe rpthead
Name Null Type
--------------------------- -------- -------------
RPTNO NOT NULL NUMBER
RPTDATE NOT NULL DATE
RPTD_BY NOT NULL VARCHAR2(25)
PRODUCT_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
[code]...
What I want is getting all data if the referenced RPTNO belongs to a particular product_id from rptbody table, here's the sql
SELECT t0.LINENO, t0.COMMENTS, t0.RPTNO, t0.UPD_DATE
FROM RPTBODY t0
WHERE
(
t0.RPTNO IN
(
SELECT t1.RPTNO FROM RPTHEAD t1 where t1.PRODUCT_ID IN ('4647')
)
)
ORDER BY t0.LINENO
Since the result set is pretty large, so my application(think it as c couple of jobs, each job should be finished in a time window) can only process a subset of all data, so I need pagination so that the next job can continue the processing until all data is processed, below is the SQL with pagination
select * from (
select a.*, ROWNUM rnum from
(
SELECT t0.LINENO, t0.COMMENTS, t0.RPTNO, t0.UPD_DATE
FROM RPTBODY t0
WHERE
(
[code]....
As you can see each query will take 100 rows from the db. The problem for now is that the query taking too much of time(10+ mins), I know the slowness is due to "ORDER BY t0.LINENO", but it's required for pagination.

Performance Tuning :: How Joins Work With Inline Views
Dec 3, 2012how joins work with in-line views.I have a query and its explain plan as below:
SELECT e.ename,e.deptno,d.dname FROM
dept d,
emp e
WHERE e.deptno=d.deptno
AND e.deptno=20
[code]....
I do not find any difference in both the explain plans. Both are same. In my second query, the filtered rows will be joined to dept table. And hence the baggage will reduce.But how can I verify that in-line view has worked better?
