SQL & PL/SQL :: Create Rank On Column Without Using Rownum Function
Mar 17, 2013can we create rank on a particular column without using rownum and rank function.
View 9 Repliescan we create rank on a particular column without using rownum and rank function.
View 9 RepliesI created a sample table named as "Student" with following data. table contains two columns only - stdid & marks.
stdid marks
10 75
20 60
30 60
40 45
50 30
I have to find the rank of students based on their marks in descending order.Is there a way to get rank without using RANK function?
there is a way when doing the Rank Function in PL/SQL to pass the field that will be ranked as an override.
SELECT rank(p_ColumnAmt) within group (order by p_ColumnNm desc) rank
INTO v_RnkNoAmt
FROM Table_name
WHERE ??????;
p_Column is the amount I am ranking
p_ColumnNm is the actual field name to Rank.
When I pass the field name with an override I do not get the correct rank back. If I run the Select with the actual field name curr_1_mth_amt, I get the correct rank.
I have about 70 different field to Rank and do not want to make a procedure for each field.
I have the following table :
CREATE TABLE A_TEST (A INTEGER, B INTEGER, C INTEGER, D INTEGER, FLAG CHAR(11));
INSERT INTO A_TEST (A,B,C,D) VALUES(1,2,3,4);
INSERT INTO A_TEST (A,B,C,D) VALUES(2,4,5,8);
INSERT INTO A_TEST (A,B,C,D) VALUES(1,2,3,4);
INSERT INTO A_TEST (A,B,C,D) VALUES(2,4,5,8);
[code].......
I would like to perform an update on the FLAG column by setting to "D" if it is a duplicate record.1,2,3,4);
I would like to use the rank function.
Desired update:
A B C D FLAG
1 2 3 4
2 4 5 8
1 2 3 4 D
2 4 5 8 D
7 2 3 4
9 2 3 4
7 2 3 4 D
1 2 3 4 D
5 4 5 8
2 2 3 9
2 4 5 8

why final queries top 3 rows r different than inner query ?
Is anyway to create function based index for group function columns.
For example

View 11 Replies View Relatedi have a project that needs to have a identity number in the table.this is the table:
create global temporary table BOOK_INFO
( row_id number(5),
BOOK_TITLE char(20),
BOOK_AUTHOR char(15)
) on commit preserve rows;
i dont know how can i generate row_id, in sybase i can only set the datatype of row_id in IDENTITY and it will automatically generates number and as the transaction ended the row_id will automatically back to 1.
in oracle i tried to create sequence but it didnt back to 1 when the transaction/procedure ended.. Like for example if the procedure ended and the last row_id inserted in the table is 300 the next run of the procedure will start in 301. but i need to start in 1 in every run of the procedure.
Also, i tried to set the variable v_row_id to 0 and it increment by 1 as it insert in the table, but the problem is there are times that in 1 book_title there is more than 1 author. so the v_row_id of the book_title with more than 1 author is all the same.Here is my query:
insert into BOOK_INFO
(select v_row_id, BOOK_TITLE, BOOK_AUTHOR from LIBRARY);
The result is:
ROW_ID BOOK_TITLE BOOK_AUTHOR
1 BOOK_1 AUTHOR_1
1 BOOK_1 AUTHOR_2
1 BOOK_1 AUTHOR_3
1 BOOK_1 AUTHOR_4
2 BOOK_2 AUTHOR_5
I have a table structure like :-
Create table test(A varchar2(50),B NUMBER);
The data in that table is like that:-
A B
----------------------
2*3
2*4*5
4*5
column B contain no data.
I want to create a function which can be used in a select query,and the output should come like that :-
A B
----------------------
2*3 6
2*4*5 40
4*5 20
Means column B contains the resultant value of column A.And the above output should come through a select statement.You can use any function inside the select statement.
I am using a form which create function to calculate value using form_ddl. When I used this program from superuser it will calculate correct value but in other user it calculate wrong value. I gave 'Create Procedure ' privilege to user too.But still problem exist.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI certainly know this is possibly but I am trying to do this on the fly and can't seem to work it out:
I have a table A:
ID Name Priority
-------------------
1 Smith 1
1 SSmith 2
1 ASmith 3
1 BSmith 3
2 John 2
3 Ed 1
and I am looking to create the following table from this:
ID Name Sum(Top3Priority)
--------------------------------
1 Smith,SSmith,etc 8
Now, I've got listagg working and everything appears to be going swimmingly but: for every listagg grouping on name I need to only sum the highest top 3 priorities. So in the example above there are four Smiths but I need to only sum the top 3 priorities which are 3,3,2 and ignore the 1 even though I do want all the listagg Smith's (SSmiht, ASmith, etc) in there.
Now I can sum the priority, but don't really know how to sum only the top 3 in any ID ? There can be 1 to n ID's so if there are only 2 ID's I want to sum those 2, if there are 3 all 3 and 4 upwards only the top 3.Here is a snippet of the SQL I am using
SLECT id,
listagg(MN_CR_LOOKUP.f_name, ',') within group (order by Priority)) roadname,
**** sum top 3 here ?****
count(*) "NumI", Sum("Elevation") "CombinedElevation"

I am trying to find out the difference in time between peoples memberships and also the order that these memberships are taken out in. So far I have added in a rank statement to work out the order the memberships were created in, but now want to look at the difference between the dates returned. The SQL I used is:
SELECT owner_party_id,
mem_number,
support_id,
mem_start_date,
RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY owner_party_id ORDER BY mem_start_date ASC) MEMBERSHIP_SEQUENCE
FROM membership_all
WHERE version_type = 'CUR'
AND owner_party_id IN ('65051', '65051', '65348', '65348', '65607', '65607', '65607')
to get:
"OWNER_PARTY_ID"|"MEM_NUMBER"|"SUPPORT_ID"|"MEM_START_DATE"|"MEMBERSHIP_SEQUENCE"
65051|318874751|8014747|01-MAR-10|1
65051|412311060|21502883|15-AUG-12|2
65348|308672459|3526913|01-MAY-10|1
65348|409951130|20950524|18-JUN-12|2

65607|406448110|20024246|16-MAR-12|2
65607|409738130|20903556|14-JUN-12|3
Now I would like to calculate the difference between the start dates of each of the owner_party_id groups, so to get something like this:
OWNER_PARTY_ID|MEM_NUMBER |SUPPORT_ID|MEM_START_DATE |MEMBERSHIP_SEQUENCE|Diff
65051|318874751|8014747|01-Mar-10|1|
65051|412311060|21502883|15-Aug-12|2|898
65348|308672459|3526913|01-May-10|1
65348|409951130|20950524|18-Jun-12|2|779
65607|315830192|7510133|17-May-10|1
65607|406448110|20024246|16-Mar-12|2|669
65607|409738130|20903556|14-Jun-12|3|90
I think that I need to use the Lag function in, but I am not too sure if it can be linked to look at the data within a grouping of owner party id, as it would make no sense to calculate the difference in dates for two different owner party ids.
I made this script but I still don't quite understand if the syntax is correct. I just wanted to create a function and call it in an anonymous block. I then wanted it to use a variable as a parameter in an iteration and output the variable every iteration. It's done basically but I know it's not 100% right. The fibonacci function looks like its going to loop an infinite number of times if the parameter is greater than 2.

I want to build a custom authentication scheme which combines the funcionality of of SSO and a custom authentication function.
1. If the HTTP Header Variable REMOTE_USER is set, this user should be a valid logged on user. (Single Sign On functionality)
2. If the HTTP Header Variable is not set, the LOGIN-Page should appear. (local user Administration)
3. The user/password combination from the login page should be validated by my own authentication function I think I have to create a sentry-Function, which is a combination of the sentry-functions which are used in the schemes "custom" and "HTTP Header Variable".

View 7 Replies View RelatedIn my sql query, how can i fetch the row with max row count? the query has around 10 columns.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen 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 (

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...
I'm on Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0
I am working on a project where have lots of view on a different schema. For performance reasons, we create tables on those views and index them.
The application that uses these tables requires a numeric primary key of a specific length, e.g. number(10). Not all tables have a natural key that matches this requirement, so I added a rownum to the query. I had hoped that casting the rownum to a number(10) would result in the same datatype once the table is created.
e.g.
SQL> create or replace view rownum_to_number10_vw as
2 select cast(rownum as number(10)) objectid, dummy from dual;
View created
SQL> describe rownum_to_number10_vw;
Name Type Nullable Default Comments
-------- ---------------- -------- ------- --------
OBJECTID NUMBER(10) Y
DUMMY VARCHAR2(1 BYTE) Y
SQL> perfect! Now create a table based on this view:
SQL> create table rownum_to_number10_tb as 2 select * from rownum_to_number10_vw;
Table created
SQL> describe rownum_to_number10_tb;
Name Type Nullable Default Comments
-------- ---------------- -------- ------- --------
OBJECTID NUMBER Y
DUMMY VARCHAR2(1 BYTE) Y Oracle does not pick up on the number(10) cast!
How can I force Oracle to create a column with the same datetype as the underlying query?
ps:I know that the 10 in number(10) is more like a constraint than a datatype, but the application that uses this table will create an additional column if the datatype > 10. I want to prevent that from happening...
I have a requirement in SQL that I have to number each row. Hence I thought of using ROWNUM. But the sql query I'm using uses UNION operator. Hence I used like this
select a,b,rownum as 'field1' from table1
union
select c,d,1 as 'field1' from table2
Will the above query solve my purpose?
I am using this as a subquery within a large select statement.
(select NAME_LAST from person_name where person_id=enc.person_id and ROWNUM = 1 order by person_name_id desc) as PatFirstName
I am getting issues when i am doing rownum=1 with order by clause, what is teh right way.
when i use rownum < 2 without order y clause it is workign fine.
I would like to use order by clause.
Using oracle 10g R2 on sun-solaris 10 (sparc-64) Well in the MIS system we have lot of ad-hoc queries coming up. We have proper indexing. Say an example which runs very slow;

Here GLUPMJ already indexed so the second query returing an index scan but the first query does a FTS naturally.Now even if I plan to create a function based index on 'the bold highlighted' but how.
create index glupmj_idx on f0911(TO_DATE('1 JAN' || (19+substr( GLUPMJ , 1, 1)) || substr( GLUPMJ ,2,2)) + substr( GLUPMJ , 4, 3 ));..Error If I don't use a FBI my query will result in FTS.

2> In MIS systems where 'n' no of ad-hoc queries can come up, how to avoid FTS.
I have a series of SQL scripts which contain SQL statements to create tables, populate them, create functions and stored procedures. Now I would like to execute each sql file against SQLPlus using a batch file so that I can just run this one file and all the configuration work I need to do can get done.
Problem is, when I try to execute the SQL file against SQLPlus, it gets upset with the Create Procedure/Function scripts...
I am using the following command:
sqlplus u/p@<someserver> @<path_to_sqlfile>.sql
this sql file contains create procedure pl/sql code
Is it possible create/compile SP/Functions that are contained within SQL Files using SQLPLus? Or do I have to physically write them out in SQLPLus (or load them in SQLDeveloper) to accomplish this?
