I am having some records in the table. If the record num is
1--It should show the month as "Apr"
2--"May"
3--"Jun"
4--"July"
5--"Aug"
6--"Sept"
if it is having other than these 6 should show "0" for the remaining months.
How to use decode and case in "where" and "from" clause of a select statement.
I know the decode can't be used in where clause. In that case how we can use decode and case in from clasue that is: table definition
I am facing a problem while retrieving data from table using DECODE/CASE.
Table: PARAM_MSTR
MIN_VALMAX_VALPARAM_CODE DESCRIPTION DATATYPE
AB1000 HARD PARAMETERTEXT
CN1000 SOFT PARAMETERTEXT
0501001 CRYSTAL PARAMETERNUMBER
512001001 STONE PARAMETERNUMBER
Now I want to get the parameter description based upon the PARAM_CODE and a value passed which should be in range of MIN_VAL and MAX_VAL. Means when I pass PARAM_CODE=1000 and :parameter=A, then it should check the DATATYPE of the PARAM_CODE, in our case it is 'TEXT' so it should check the passed value between MIN_VAL and MAX_VAL like
:parameter BETWEEN MIN_VAL AND MAX_VAL and should return 'HARD PARAMETER'.
If I pass PARAM_CODE=1001, then the DATA_TYPE is 'NUMBER', so it will check the :parameter value as Number.
Like :parameter BETWEEN to_number(MIN_VAL) AND to_number(MAX_VAL)
For example:
PARAM_CODE :parametr Result
1000 A HARD PARAMETER
1000 C SOFT PARAMETER
1000 P NULL
1001 25 CRYSTAL PARAMETER
1001 99 STONE PARAMETER
1001 201 NULL
I have written a query using DECODE and CASE statement but it is not working properly.
SELECT * FROM param_mstr WHERE PARAM_CODE=1000 AND :parameter BETWEEN DECODE(DATATYPE,'NUMBER',CAST(MIN_VAL as NUMBER),MIN_VAL)AND DECODE(DATATYPE,'NUMBER',CAST(MAX_VAL as NUMBER),MAX_VAL)
I had written follwoing sql with CASE statments, but in oracle 8i i'm unable to use CASE in pl/SQL.
how to convert following sql to DECODE ? Or is there any option other than DECODE ?
SELECT ol.order_no,
ol.transaction_line_id,
ol.pd_actl_tonnage,
ol.real_tonnage_high,
ol.req_tonnage,
il.id,
il.transaction_ref,
[code].....
Here is one an example with CASE WHEN statement.
SELECT empno,ename,sal,
CASE
WHEN sal BETWEEN 800 AND 1200
THEN 'Lowest Pay'
[Code]...
even DECODE can be a replacement for this scenario, but it cannot have as flexibility as CASE can have.
Now, I want Equivalent code for DECODE..
my query is some thing like this but having more column in select. when i am firing this query it is giving result but that is not proper,\.
my problem is , like if there are 3 more values for uh.sflowtype (0,1,2) then group by is not working for them and those are coming in different row , i need them to be combined
query is :
select substr(uh.sstartdatetime,1,8) DateTime,
( case
when uh.sflowtype=7 then 'sms'
when uh.sflowtype=9 then 'mms'
when uh.sflowtype=10 then 'gprs'
[code]....
result :
DATETIME FLOWTYPE
-------- --------
20130507 voice
20130507 voice
20130507 voice
20130507 sms
20130507 mms
but i need
20130507 voice
20130507 sms
20130507 mms
so what should i do?
case when age <= 17 then '<= 17'
when age >= 40 then '>= 40'
else to_char(t.age)
end age
the case statement above doesn't work in my 8.1.7 cursor statement within my pl/sql block so I need an equivalent decode
I am using oracle 11G database,I have to check length of name column value from employee table and if length(name) > 39 then value should be substr(name,0,39) else value should be name only. i tried below code
select CASE when length(name) > 39,substr(name,0,39)
else name
END
from employee but its not working ..can I do this using decode too ? ,,which one would be better or this is not a right way ?

Data Type Consistency CASE and Decode
CASE expects data type consistency, DECODE not expecting.
Obviously both functions handling data types are different let it be

2
SQL> select case 2
2 when 1 then 1
3 when 2 then 2
4 else 3

2 when 1 then 1
3 when '2' then 2
4 else 3
5 end "RESULT" from dual;
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got CHAR
know cause of error here????I mean " every time case exp checking data type consistency"
my thought is
I am trying to get same output but different methods. Yes, clearly states this is one of the Oracle bug!
I want to know how oracle handles here ???? i mean 3rd query.Purely i am testing this function with dual(dummy) table...
obviously, no possibilities for different data type.next one i am not sure about Oracle compares int variables to int variables, char variables to char variables,
I think so .... that's why oracle throws error. am i right ??ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got CHAR
see this query
SQL> select case 2
2 when 1 then 1
3 when '2' then 2
4 else 3
5 end "RESULT" from dual;
// clearly i am stating what's error on 3rd line ?????Even if I refer reference books some concepts are blind to understand.

In my Hard code i saw decode like this
DECODE(tablename.columnname,'k',text,NULL,text, NULL)
can I use decode like this.
im used to using PL SQL via oracle. but lately ive been doing a lot of mysql and PHP and i really need to use something similar to DECODE in my queries. or am i forced to do the checks via PHP.

I tried writing a decode statement but it doesn't work as expected. The data I'm working has 4 different brand names with an associated code. I tried using decode to get the 4 brands to be on one line like this: Description, Inventory_Item, Product_Line, Product_Type, Brand_1, Brand_2, Brand_3, Brand_4..I still get 4 lines with the Brands displayed like a stair steps.
What do I have to do to get the data on one line? My code is as follows:
SELECT sgk_invfg_organization_items.description,
sgk_invfg_organization_items.inventory_item,
sgk_invfg_organization_items.product_line,
sgk_invfg_organization_items.product_type,

I have a small doubt...Without any creation of tables as I feel it's not needed...(let me know if u need them) Error says "Missing Keyword"
select distinct record_number
from meta m, procedu b, control v, fact f, calendar dc, person p
where f.key = m.key and f.group_key = b.group_key
and b.proc_key = v.proc_key
and f.calendar_key = dc.calendar_key
and f.person_key = p.person_key
and VALUE BETWEEN DECODE((Select distinct operator_type
[code]....
But this gives an error...If the decode gives a "single"...the statement is working fine...but If the decode gives a "range"...the above statement gives an error saying "missing keyword"..Does the above code when mapped to "Range"...is it not producing "and" like " value between 100 and 1000"
How can i use the decode function?
for example
I have the value of 1000 then the numbers 50-100 will be 'A' and 1-49 = 'B'?
DECODE(:P_PERIOD_TYPE,'PJTD','PROJECT-TO-DATE','PTD','PERIOD-TO-DATE','YTD','YEAR-TO-DATE')

What I have to do is this:
List supplier�s name, id, number of pending orders, number of completed orders and number of all orders from this supplier. (my query doesn't include the last part yet).
My tables are as follows:
Suppliers:
S_ID
NAME
ADDRESS
PROVINCE
PHONE_NUMBER
Orders:
ORD_ID
SUPPLIER_ID
ISSUING_EMP_ID
ORDER_DATE
ORDER_STATUS
and this is what I have so far:
select name, s_id
sum(decode(order_status, 'P',1,0)) pending,
sum(decode(order_status, 'C',1,0)) completed
from suppliers
where s_id in
(select supplier_id from orders);
but I still get an error that says "sum(decode(order_status, 'P',1,0)) pending,
*
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected"
I assume this is because I'm not properly referencing the orders table.
Is it possible to decode based off a different column? I have a status column that i want to change the value of with a decode, but only if my date column has been populated.
So if status has a value of "New" and my date column is null, then i want it to stay new. If it is populated, i want my status to change to "released"

i am using the following within queries:
decode(qt_flag,'KT','Y',decode(qt_flag,'IT','Y','N'))
It works fine but when i use in ETL tool it is not working. Is there a way to use decode just once with multiple values like above.
While am working with Decode just found something, why it is returning like this.
I Ran this query where i have used all the date format as DD/MM/YYYY
SELECT DECODE(TO_DATE('25/04/2001','DD/MM/YYYY') ,
TO_DATE('01/01/1900','DD/MM/YYYY'), NULL ,
TO_DATE('25/04/2001','DD/MM/YYYY')) TEST
FROM DUAL
Quote:
TEST
-------------
25-APR-01
But the resule i got in DD-MON-YY
i tried searching this forum with searching strings Decode date format.. or similer i found nothing.
I have used a decode statement in my query instead of using select * from <table_name> where value in <>
Instead I have used decode(value,<value1>, <value2>)
Which would be a better performance code?
