SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Insert Values Into Another Column By Comparing Values Of Two Columns Of Same Table
Dec 23, 2010My scenario is to insert values into 'out' column by comparing 's' and 'IP' columns of temp table.The exact situation is at first need to go to ip column,take a value and then go to source column and check for the same value of ip which is taken previously.Then after corresponding ip of that source column should be inserted back in previous source column.
The situation is marked clearly in file which i am attaching with '--' comments at respective places.I am also pasting the code which i tried out,unfortunately it is giving error as exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows since there are duplicates in the table.I tried it using nested for loops.Also implemented using rowid,but it didnt work.
fixing the errors or if there is any new logic that can be implemented.
DECLARE
i_e NUMBER(10);
BEGIN
FOR cur_1 IN(SELECT IP from temp where IP IS NOT NULL)
LOOP
FOR cur_2 IN(SELECT IP from temp where s=cur_1.IP)

Q) If am not using the order by clause its giving me wrong output even though both the data tables has same data. WHY?

Comparing Timestamps In ORACLE
Mar 5, 2008How to select the transactions out of the database that occurred within 70 seconds of each other. The toll_date field is a TIMESTAMP field.
Problem is, I seem to only get transactions that occurred within 70 minutes of each other. On the timestamp field I break the math down into the seconds in a day and I add 70. I then subtract that value and add that value to the timestamp and I should get anything between those values right?

SQL Performance When Comparing To NULL In Where Clause
Oct 29, 2008I have a SQL query which joins several large tables (so indexes matter here) from Oracle database. In the where condition I use IS NULL with one of the date field values. Query takes 40 sec to run and if I comment this one line...it takes 1 sec to run. This date field is an index on the table and I learn that --
1. IS NOT NULL in where clause uses an index
2. IS NULL in where clause does not use an index
Is there any work around to make the query faster...other than changing all the NULL date values in the table to some string. In other words can I force it to use the index.
