I have requirement to create an XML structure through stored procedure. I need to Order some of the columns in ascending order before I format them into the xml structure. I am pretty novice to creating an output into XML format, but attached is the query I came up with (without order by). This works perfect, but now the requirement is to order by - cls_cd, and within cls_cd, again order by - cat_cd. I am not able to do this.
I have a requirement where I need to display a list of employees, performance rating and manager id. I want to display the employees first whose manager is as manager_id as input parameter. So lets say a manager logs in, he should see his reporters first and then the rest. How can I implement this in SQL? I am trying first clause with order by but not sure how to do that here.
I have got the following error while executing below Query.
ORA-01791 'Not a SELECTed expression'
select distinct sgbstdn_levl_code from sgbstdn,spriden where spriden_pidm = sgbstdn_pidm and spriden_id = '200076543' order by sgbstdn_term_code_eff desc;
The above Query is not working with Distinct & Order By clause are present and by joining two tables. I need the distinct values of levels in Descending order of Terms.
When i try to execute a query, which is organised as the below example, it retrieves data..
select * from ( select col1, col2, col3, col4....coln from TABLE_ONE left outer join TABLE_TWO -- some conditions and group by clause order by 1 asc ) where rownum <=1000;
Again if I use Column alias in the ORDER BY clause col1, the query won't retrieve data.
Also If I use ORDER BY 4 instead of ORDER BY 1, the query wont return data...
select * from ( select col1, col2, col3, col4....coln from TABLE_ONE left outer join TABLE_TWO -- some conditions and group by clause order by 4 asc ) where rownum <=1000;
The whole issue revolves around the inner ORDER BY Clause and external ROWNUM condition..If I eliminate any of the two, the query works fine...I am not sure if indexes have some role to play in it...
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.
currently i m going through some dumps for my OCA-11g prep.I came across one sentence :A view cannot have an ORDER BY clause in the SELECT statement.well this statement is false and the explanation given was :
Query operations containing ORDER BY clause are also permitted, so long as the ORDER BY clause appears outside the parentheses.
The following is an example of what I mean: CREATE VIEW my_view AS (SELECT*FROM emp) ORDER BYempno.
but when i tried running the query like this :CREATE VIEW my_view AS SELECT*FROM emp ORDER BYempno ,it worked w/o giving parentheses.
I have a real problem with form, specifically one of its data blocks. In the order by property of the block i specify it to sort on a branch in ascending order(i tried descending as well) but for some reason the form ignores that and sorts it on the ROWNUM. I even removed the where clause, the order by clause and changed the query data source type to FROM clause and changed the data source name to pre-query. I then created the query string in the block's pre-query trigger and set query_data_source_name property to that query string and still the data in the block is not being sorted on the branch number but instead on the ROWNUM.
How to avoid sort operation by an order by clause without changing the sort area size.what hints or changes should be done in query so that order by clause work faster.
I came across situation where a Nullable column is not using index for 'order by' clause. I added Not Null condition in the 'where' condition but it wasn't useful. I don't wanted to make composite index with not nullable column or with constant or modify column to 'Not Null'
So I carried out test cases and during which I found that in one case the sql statement does 'fast full scan' for data access but does not use index for 'order by' sorting
here are the steps
Initially I kept the column Nullable
SQL> create sequence s5; Sequence created.
SQL> create table t5 as select s5.nextval id,a.* from dba_objects a where rownum<1001; Table created.
SQL> set pages 100 SQL> select column_name,nullable from user_tab_columns where table_name='T5';

Questions are
1) Why adding 'where id is not null wasn't enough for the index to get used in 'order by'? 2) While we got 'fast full scan' why index wasn't used for 'order by' clause? 3) Do we need the indexed column in where clause for being used in 'order by clause' too? 4) Do we need 'order by' clause if we are selecting only the indexed column with sequence generated values?
Name Null Type --------------------------- -------- ------------- RPTNO NOT NULL NUMBER RPTDATE NOT NULL DATE RPTD_BY NOT NULL VARCHAR2(25) PRODUCT_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
describe rptbody
Name Null Type ------------- -------- ------------- RPTNO NOT NULL NUMBER LINENO NOT NULL NUMBER COMMENTS VARCHAR2(240) UPD_DATE DATE
The fact is that we store some header in RPTHEAD and store real data in RPTBODY, the question is that if I use below SQL to query all data for a 'PRODUCT_ID'.
SELECT t0.LINENO, t0.COMMENTS, t0.RPTNO, t0.UPD_DATE FROM RPTBODY t0 , RPTHEAD rpthead WHERE ( t0.RPTNO = rpthead.RPTNO AND t0.UPD_DATE>=to_date('1970/01/01 00:00:00','YYYY/MM/DD hh24:mi:ss') AND rpthead.PRODUCT_ID IN ('4647') )
I do not want to have 'ORDER by' clause since data set is too large, the sorting takes long time, is there any way to get the result rows in the order sorted by RPTNO? We have the index for RPTNO on RPTBODY.
i have a query where i am using the max function to find the most recent record. What i want to do is use that query as part of an insert statement into a different table, however, i don't want to insert the column that i used the max function on. Is there anyway to use the max function without having the column it is being used on showing in the results?
I am testing a supposedly very simple stored procedure in XE. It compiles with no errors but when I enter the following command in the SQL Command window I get an ORA-00911: invalid character.
call get_all_customer_orgs;
The get_all_customer_orgs procedure is defined as.
create or replace procedure get_all_customer_orgs (p_recordset out sys_refcursor) is begin open p_recordset for select * from customerorgs; end get_all_customer_orgs;
I don't understand what the invalid character could be.
I need to select a count of records where a field (call it widget) is the same, so i need all records where widgets are distinct. So it would be like asking for a distinct in a where clause. Not having much SQL experience this is a difficulty for me.
lets see .. so a count of records where widget = widget or something along those lines.
I would like to give back to the our application user a page of results for a given query along with the total result count, something like: "Showing 1-25 of 650 total results".
Currently I am doing this by submitting a second query:
select count(*) from (<previous query criteria>)
Is there a better performing approach I could be using?
I am trying to create a query that displays the given error message if the result of my COUNT(*) is smaller than 1, but displays the result of my first query (data) if the total count is bigger than 1 (read: the query found data, so it needs to display the rows according to the search).
What do I need to do to display 'data' if 'data2' contains rows?
WITH data AS (SELECT a.order_id, a.session_id, a.log_id, b.date_of_order, a.operation, b.funct_prod_code, b.sts_status_code, b.ost_order_situation_code, c.order_situation_oms,
And the problem is, that when i use sutp_price_proc and pbk_price in grouping, it splits my results by those rows. If i delete them from grouping, sql gives me error about not a single grouping in line 1.
pas_codepas_profilesutp_idsutp_pricex 2664good stuff310069< because pbk_price is like 67 from that period 2664good stuff310071< because pbk_price is like 50 from other period
and the values will be for one value of LVL1_NM there will be different LVL2_NM values like wise for each and every value of LVL2_NM column there will different values in LVL3_NM column like wise for LVL4_NM is there any way to get the results as per their relation ships.
I thought I would make use of the following query, but I am not getting the proper results when applying it to a real table with more than 20 mln records:
SELECT trunc(R_DUR/6)*5+1 as range_start_rdur, trunc(R_DUR/6)*5+5 range_end_rdur, sum(noofan) as no_of_an, sum(sumofrdur) as sum_of_rdur, sum(sumofchdur) as sum_of_chdur, [Code] ...........
I'm trying to select from table "A" where value1 and value2 match. If the values are not in table "A", try table "B". If the values exist in BOTH tables - only look at the results from table "A".
Table "A" may or may not have "new" data coming into the system. Table "B" may or may not have "existing" data.
The code I am writing needs to find the "newest" data row for value1 and value2. Eventually the data in table "A" gets "Merged" into table "B" further on in the process.
Supposedly this can be done in a single query using a left outer join and the NVL function, but the person I inherited this from isn't available.
I've been able to get the row back if it exists in "A" or "B", but end up with two rows or no rows if the row exists in both... Arrrg...
