SQL & PL/SQL :: Query Without Using A UNION?

Aug 17, 2011

I'm just trying to see if there is another way of doing this query without using a UNION. The only way I can see is using a UNION but maybe I'm missing something or a way to do it without a UNION.

Result:

Select any customer within the user_states table who lives in "MO"
Select any customer within the user_cars table who lives in "MO" and has a "White" car
Select any customer within the user_plates table who lives in "MO" and has a plate of "A" or "B"
Join to the user_names table to display the customers name

So, the result would be any customer who lives in "MO" who owns a "White" car and any customer who lives in "MO" who has a plate of "A" or "B".

SQL

select b.customer_id,
b.first_name,
b.last_name

[Code]....

SQL & PL/SQL :: Union Query Need To Add Extra Dummy Field To One Side Of Query

Dec 8, 2005

I have inherited a query that union alls 2 select statements, I added a further field to one of the select statements ( a date field). However I need to add another dummy field to the 2nd select statement so the union query marries up I have tried to do this by simply adding a

select
'date_on'
to add a field called date on populated by 'date_on' (the name of the column in the first query)

however when I run the union query i get the error Ora-01790 expression must have same datatype as corresponding expression.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Union Query For Oracle

Feb 29, 2012

I am new to SQL Oracle programming and have a question on a union query. I am trying to get results (example) for the following:

Org # Full_date Run_date
5 2/20/2012 2/20/2012
5 2/21/2012 2/21/2012
5 2/22/2012 null (there is not a record for this)
6 2/20/2012 2/20/2012
6 2/21/2012 null
6 2/22/2012 2/22/2012
7 2/20/2012 2/20/2012
7 2/21/2012 2/21/2012
7 2/22/2012 2/22/2012

The dw_time table would have the listing of all dates, (Full_date) and the dw_capacity_daily table would have the run_date. Here is my

select * from (
select distinct a.Organization_Nbr, d.full_date
from CMBHS_DW.DW_ORGANIZATION a, cmbhs_DW.DW_Organization_Identifier b, cmbhs_DW.DW_Contract c, cmbhs_dw.dw_time d
where a.ORGANIZATION_NBR = b.ORGANIZATION_NBR

Parallel Query Block Of Union All Set

Sep 24, 2010

We have very large table having data more than 1000 millions rows. We divide this table into four physical tables say A, B, C and D. The physical horizontal partition of data of this original table is done based upon their business policy.

Each partitioned table has contained data of particular business entity. Further each table has partition and sub partitions based upon business rule.

We have to retrieve data from all these tables as follows:

select a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6
from A
where < logical filter condition>
union all
select b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6
[code].....

We observed that above each query block execute in serial one after another and individual each query block capable to process data in parallel from respective table.

How does this above query able to execute each query block in parallel?

Materialized Views Not Used With UNION ALL In Query

Oct 13, 2010

I am an Oracle newbie.

We have 2 fact tables and one lookup table in this structure:

FACTTABLE1 (C1_ID, C2, SALE)
FACTTABLE2 (C1_ID, C3, SALE)
LOOKUPTABLE (C1_ID, C1_NAME)

The DBAs have built 2 Materialized Views, which aggregates data in the fact tables at column C1 level

MAT_VIEW1 :SELECT C1_ID, SUM(SALE) SALES from FACTTABLE1 join LOOKUPTABLE on C1_ID
MAT_VIEW2: SELECT C1_ID, SUM(SALE) SALE from FACTTABLE2 join LOOKUPTABLE on C1_ID

We are using an old BI tool that can ONLY generate Inline Views in these formats.

CASE1:
select
INL_VIEW.C1_ID
,LOOKUPTABLE.C1_NAME
,sum(SALE) SALE
from
(select C1_ID, C2_ID, null C3_ID, SALE from FACTTABLE1)INL_VIEW
join LOOKUPTABLE
on INL_VIEW.C1_ID = LOOKUPTABLE.C1_ID
group by INL_VIEW.C1_ID, LOOKUPTABLE.C1_NAME

CASE2:
select
INL_VIEW.C1_ID
,LOOKUPTABLE.C1_NAME
,sum(SALE) SALE
from
(select C1_ID, null C2_ID, C3_ID, SALE from FACTTABLE2)INL_VIEW
join LOOKUPTABLE
on INL_VIEW.C1_ID = LOOKUPTABLE.C1_ID
group by INL_VIEW.C1_ID, LOOKUPTABLE.C1_NAME

CASE3:
select
INL_VIEW.C1_ID
,LOOKUPTABLE.C1_NAME
,sum(SALE) SALE
from
(
select C1_ID, C2_ID, null C3_ID, SALE from FACTTABLE1
union all
select C1_ID, C2_ID, null C3_ID, SALE from FACTTABLE2
)INL_VIEW
join LOOKUPTABLE
on INL_VIEW.C1_ID = LOOKUPTABLE.C1_ID
group by INL_VIEW.C1_ID, LOOKUPTABLE.C1_NAME

Oracle 11g rewrites Case 1 and Case 2 to use the correct materialized views. But for case 3, it goes to the base fact tables 1 and 2. Is there a way to make oracle use the MVs even if there is a UNION ALL in the inline view? There is a 1:M Foreign Key relationship between LOOKUPTABLE.C1_ID and the 2 fact tables.

Use Oracle Hint To Use Index In Query Which Uses UNION?

Mar 31, 2011

I have a SQL query where I am making UNION of two select statements. The table that I am joining in each select statement have indexes defined for those tables.

Now the UNION of the two select statements again in enclosed in an inline view , from which I fetching my final field values.

The select statements inside the inline view returns huge number of row (like 50 million rows).

The whole query fails with time out.

How can I optimize this query further?

Is there a way to pass Oracle Hints so that Oracle uses indexes?

UNION ALL Vs 2 Queries

Nov 12, 2012

is there any difference between

- returning from the procedure 2 ref cursors containing result set of 2 queries
- returning from the procedure 1 ref cursor containing result set of that 2 queries as one (with UNION ALL)?

Will 2nd option be faster or similar to 1st?

Multiple Tables With (UNION All) Clause

Aug 9, 2012

I have a view that contain multiple tables with ( UNION all ) clause , is there any way that if i query from this view I can explicitly specify the table that i need the data from ?

Let say i have view that contain salaries of 2011

Create view sals_2011 as select * from sals_jan2011 union all sals_feb2011 ..... union all select * from sals_dec2011.

if i issued select * from sals_2011 where emp_id >500 and date < 01-feb-2011 the explain plan show me that full tables and indexes are in processing, while i know that i need only to scan sal_jan2011, and of course it is taking much longer time than selecting from the original table only.

I am using oracle RAC 11g R2
