SQL> select greatest ( 1000,null) from dual;
GREATEST(1000,NULL)
-------------------
SQL> with t as
2 ( select 1 a from dual union all
3 select null from dual)
4 select max(a) from t;
MAX(A)
----------
1
Why greatest returns null ( as the greatest value among the list of values) as the greatest value while max returns 1 in the above case?
I've a table where I've to select the greatest value from each row.
create table find_max ( colA number, colB number, colC number );
insert all
into find_max values (8,12,13)
into find_max values (-1,-22,3)
into find_max values (1,null,13)
into find_max values (-1,-2,-3)
into find_max values (-1,0,-10)
select * from dual;
the desired format of output is:
three fields for colA, colB, colC and max_value
max_value for 1st row is 13, 2nd is 3, 3rd is 13, 4th is -1,5th is 0.
how can I find the max_value without using any built in functions??
I am trying to update the greatest value in a column from a string of other column.
Ex: f the value is shown 10M+16M+25M-DG, then populate 25 only
so for that I had written query as follows:
update ANCHOR set IEL_STRAND_SIZE= greatest(
substr
(REPLACE(REPLACE(REGEXP_REPLACE( F_TYP, '[A-Z]', '' ),'+',','),'-',','),
0,
length(REPLACE(REPLACE(REGEXP_REPLACE( F_TYP, '[A-Z]', '' ),'+',','),'-',','))-1))
The output is given as 10,16,25,but not as 25.so how could i write it?Do I need to implement procedure or arrays for it.
I am confused with third one.
CODE1. >> Comparing two strings >>
SQL> select greatest('99' ,'100') from dual;
GR
99
2. >> comparing both numbers >>
SQL> select greatest( 99 ,100) from dual;
GR
100
3.>> Comparing string and number >>
SQL> select greatest('99' ,100) from dual;
GR
99
whats the logic behind 99 being returned for thirdone.
I am trying to do a simple query where I need to return the rows from a table and treat each rown according to some rules.The query works fine, and returns all the rows, usually I have 2 rows returned. WHen I add to the query where ROWNUM = 1, I get the first row returned, but when I use when ROWNUM =2 OR ROWNUM >1, I always get null rows retured, even if I have rows in the database. Here is my query:
SELECT on_time
INTO on_time2
FROM work.work_unit
WHERE work_code = 1
AND emp_no = :entry_blk.p_emp_no
AND work_date = :entry_blk.p_work_date
WHERE ROWNUM = 2;
--RETURN NULL
I changed it to the following format, but still I get the same results, only I get data when I say when rownum = 1, i get back the first record in the query
SELECT on_time
INTO on_time2
FROM (SELECT on_time
FROM work.work_unit
WHERE work_code = 1
AND emp_no = :entry_blk.p_emp_no
AND work_date = :entry_blk.p_work_date)
WHERE ROWNUM = 2;
I can't move forward in my form until I figure out why this is not returning records
I have to update a table by getting values from two other tables. While doing that the inner query returns more than one value. I am not sure how to implement the logic without returning more than one row in sub query.
My query:
update buf_office_str o
set o.manager_ident =
(select sp.ident
from se2_r_src_sourceperson sp ,
(select distinct director_name, team_name from buf_sales_dump )t
where SP.SRCNAME = upper(substr(t.director_name,instr(t.director_name,' ')+1,length(t.director_name))||', '||substr(t.director_name,1,instr(t.director_name,' ')-1 ) )
and o.office_descr = t.team_name
)
Basically the query gets the manager id from sp table where sp.srcname = t.team-name.
The office_descr should be equal to the team_name.
This is the logic I am working towards:
For each office, i get the office_descr and get corresponding team_name. Match the team's director_name (from table t) with the sp.name and return the employee's id (sp.ident) for that office_descr. I need to update all 50 offices with corresponding managerid for that office in buf_office_str table.
Is it possible to get done in one update? Or, does this need a plsql proc to do this logic.
I am returning the ORA-01427 after running the query below. why I am returning the error and how to address it.

when i am trying to run this query i am getting an error'single row subquery returns more than one row'.
My problem : I Wrote a package(a function), this function just return a varchar2 , but in this function I wrote a cursor , when I call this function in this manner :
SELECT secu.u_menu_id,
secu.menu_id,
menu.prompt,
secu.u_type,
secu.u_id,
[code]....
SQL return : Ora-01427 Single-row subquery returns more than one row
Yes , in this function it has cursor that more than one row. But I let this function return varchar2 ,
I am getting an error "Single row query returns more than one row" in an Exception block.
But in subqueries I am using IN operator not using =.
And I don't have duplicates rows in tables.
I have written the below sql select loc,(select ename from emp where emp.deptno = dept.deptno) from dept
It results in the below error.
[Error] Execution (1: 13): ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row
I have modified the SQL and got the required output
select em.ename,dep.loc
from
(select loc,deptno from dept) dep ,
(select ename,deptno from emp) em
where dep.deptno=em.deptno(+)
I have written the below sql to fetch all loc for emp which got executed
SELECT ENAME, (SELECT LOC FROM DEPT WHERE DEPT.DEPTNO=EMP.DEPTNO) LOC
FROM EMP
But as i need all locations irrespective of any emp in the locaton so i tried to put emp side (+) which resulted in error.
this is my sql=

I am trying to update values in a table from another table and getting the error: Single Sub Row Query Returns More Than 1 Row.
I want table B's PRV_NAME updated into table A's PRV_NAME where A.PRVID = B.PRVID where B.PRV_TYPE = M'
Both tables have all unique PRVID's, however, table B has PRVID's that have the same name. So table B data can look like this:
PRVID PRV_NAME
1234 PHOENIX MED
1235 SAC MED
1236 SAC MED
1237 OVERLAND
etc..
So, as you can see the PRVID's are unique, but not the PRV_NAME's. Is this the reason why I get this error?
I did not build the tables and have no control over what is put in them. If this is the reason for the error, is there any way to resolve this?
For reference, here is the query.

I want to find nearest integer value where mod returns 0 in sql statement. I've tried following but it doesn't fulfill my requirement.
My Try
SQL> select
2 ((1200*1000)+45-mod((1200*1000),45)) f1,
3 mod( ((1200*1000)+45-mod((1200*1000),45)),45 ) f2,
4 ((1200*1000)+45-mod((1200*1000),45))/1000 f3
5 from dual;
F1 F2 F3
---------- ---------- ----------
1200015 0 1200.015
In above result F3 represent the actual result, which is nearest value where mod returns the 0, but i want nearest integer value which is 1206. how it is possible. In above case consider 1200 as Kgs and 45 as Grams.
I have a query that can return values or not:
If it returns a value, I want to print the value returned;
If it returns no value, I would like to return a string like 'NO_DATA'.
I have already tried several things, and the last one is:
==================================================================
Select NVL2(dnh.DiaNoHableData, dnh.DiaNoHableData, 'NO_DATA')
From (Select Dia_No_Habil || '#' ||
Trim(Descripcion) DiaNoHableData
From Dias_no_Habiles
Where Dia_No_Habil = To_Char(To_Date('20080704', 'YYYYMMDD'), 'YYYYMMDD')) dnh;
==================================================================
The subquery returns no data, so the first query should print 'NO_DATA', but it returns nothing.
I just think about write a function with gives me a searched string from table.
select col1, col2 from the_table
col1 col2
--------------------------
SMS yes
Melodies no
Java build
...
And I would like to make a function or something like that where input parameter is from col1 and result is col2. For instance:
select the_function('SMS') from dual;
Result: yes
how to write it?
I have an existing database with several hundred tables and triggers on the tables in the schema S1. Most of the triggers are for storing audit information USER and SYSDATE in the respective columns.
We have built procedures what will accept incoming XML parameters from a BPMS application on the intranet which will have information about which table to update, which columns to update, what values to update and what the O/S user id is. The O/S user ids are mapped to oracle user ids in a specific table. Therefore when we receive the request we can easily figure out the oracle user id. The application always connects to the database using a specified user id S2.
The trouble is, the existing tables have triggers which read :NEW.userid := USER;and whenever a DML is fired from the procedure, the function USER always returns S2, since that is the user id the BPMS application connects to and therefore the audit columns do not capture the correct information as required.
The impact of changing all the existing triggers/procedures will be a mammoth task including regression testing and will certainly not be approved by the project sponsor.
override the value that USER returns? Using session contexts, etc? If so, we can possibly set it at the point of connect and have to do nothing else.

I have to fetch values from table conditionally.
create table tt(
userid varchar2(50),
aban8 varchar2(10)
)
insert into tt values ('1TESTX01', '111')
insert into tt values ('1TESTX02', '222')
insert into tt values ('1TESTX03', '333')
create table test1(
numval varchar2(50),
aban8 varchar2(10)
)
insert into test1 values ('12', '111')
insert into test1 values ('13', '222')
insert into test1 values ('14', '333')
The condition is to fetch userid. If a userid is provided and not null then it should return the userid provided. In this eg. '1TESTX01' If there is no userid provided then it should fetch userid from table tt with some condition...for simplicity I have not written condition but the inner query 'SELECT userid from tt' would return multiple records. And "userid IN" should be matched with the returning number of userids.
SELECT DISTINCT userid
FROM tt a, test1 b
WHERE a.aban8 = b.aban8
AND userid IN (
SELECT NVL2 ('1TESTX01', '1TESTX01',
(SELECT userid
FROM tt))
FROM DUAL);
This gives the error :-
ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row
Even running the query :-
select NVL2('1TESTX01', '1TESTX01',(select userid from tt )) from dual
gives the same error.
how to write the above query conditionally. I used case & decode too but got the same error.

I am attempting to port some Pro*C code from Tru64 to AIX 6.1.I have compiled the PRO*C into an executable which is then called as follows:
host$ CJSPC004 /@WHDA 19/11/2012
Starting module : CJSPC004
Connected to the database
Running database procedure cjspk003.p_create_job_schedule
Module CJSPC004 completed successfully
However, when querying $? to get the status of the last command I get a non-zero code even though everything has worked.
host$ echo $?
39
On Tru64 this works fine with the echo $? returning a zero as expected:
host$ echo $?
0
The PRO*C was compiled using gcc
I've got this situation.
In a not normalized table loaded with data from an excel file, I have a column containing a long string with many carriage returns so that after each of them it begins a new string I have to manipulate. I mean, in the column PERSON I've got something like this:
PERSON
_______
Jonh
Taylor
Software developer
...
Of course I have to write a Pl/Sql procedure extracting each string and I know that each string ends with a carriage return chr(13)||chr(10)
I think I should use the INSTR built-in function but I it'd be useful whether some of you had something ready.
