SQL & PL/SQL :: Left Outer Join Versus Right Outer Join
Aug 14, 2009i want to know the difference between Left outer join Vs. Right outer join? Its like which join is safer to use or is there any recommendations to use any join?
View 6 Replies View RelatedSQL & PL/SQL :: Left Outer Join Or Function
Oct 13, 2010I have two tables employee_master and employee_time. There could be situation that record from employee_master does not exist in employee_time.
create table employee_master(employee_id number, employee_name varchar2(100));
insert into employee_master values(1, 'employee 1');
insert into employee_master values(2, 'employee 2');
insert into employee_master values (3, 'employee 3');
create table employee_time(employee_id number, project_id number, project_type varchar2(20), time_date date, hours number)
insert into employee_time values(1, 100, 'Billable', '01-Oct-2010', 10);
insert into employee_time values(1, 200, 'Billable', '02-Oct-2010', 9);
insert into employee_time values(1, 210, 'Non Billable', '03-Oct-2010', 10);
insert into employee_time values(2, 100, 'Billable', '01-Oct-2010', 10);
insert into employee_time values(2, 200, 'Billable', '02-Oct-2010', 9);
The requirement is to show all the employees from employee_master and with total billable hours and non billable hours, if not exist, show zero.The output will be:
Employee_ID Employee_Name Total_Billable_Hours Total_Non_Billable
1 Employee1 19 10
2 Employee2 19 0
3 Employee3 0 0
The question is to write a Left outer join query or to write a PL/SQL function which can return total rows if Employee_ID is supplied to it as a parameter
Query 1:
Select Employee_ID, Employee_name, sum(Billable), sum(Non_Billable)
From
(
Select a.Employee_ID, a.employee_name,
decode(b.project_type, 'Billable', hours, 0) as Billable,
decode(b.project_type, 'Non Billable', Hours, 0) as Non_Billable
from employee_master a
left outer join employee_time b on a.Employee_ID=b.Employee_ID
)
Group by Employee_ID, Employee_Name
Query 2:
Select Employee_ID, Employee_Name, func_billable(Employee_ID) as Billable, func_non_billable(Employee_ID) as Non_Billable
From Employee_Master
Which query is good from the performance perspective? In real situation the employee_time is a very huge table.
PL/SQL :: Getting Alternative To LEFT OUTER JOIN?
Sep 21, 2012I have the following query but it is taking too much time because of the LEFT OUTER JOIN on HST table which is a huge table , is there an alternative to LEFT OUTER JOIN that can be used to optimize the code:
SELECT HST.COMP_CODE,
HST.BRANCH_CODE,
HST.CURRENCY_CODE,
HST.GL_CODE,
HST.CIF_SUB_NO,
HST.SL_NO,
SUM(CV_AMOUNT) CV_AMOUNT,

SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Get Count Of Null Values In Left Outer Join
Oct 16, 2012I am using left outer join to fetch PRSN_KEY .I need to find null values in B.PRSN_KEY. I am using below query but its giving me 0 count.
select count(*) from (
Select A.PRSN_KEY AS AKEY,B.PRSN_KEY AS BKEY from CD03955P.H_CM_EEST_EEOR A LEFT JOIN CD03955P.H_CM_EEST_EEOR B
ON
A.PRSN_KEY =B.PRSN_KEY
where
A.CAT_ID=111
AND
A.DATA_SOURCE='PEN_CO'
AND
B.CAT_ID = 1 and B.DATA_SOURCE ='PEN_EEST'
AND B.CAT_CD IN ('ACTIVE','LOA','LOAWP','LOAMLP','LOAMLN')
AND B.EFBEGDT < A.EFBEGDT
)
where BKEY IS NULL
PL/SQL :: Left Outer Join Drama - SQL Command Not Properly Ended?
Oct 16, 2012What I am trying to do is get my report to list every room in the table even if there is nothing scheduled in the room for the selected date. I add a command to the report to force the left outer join but I keep running into errors. This is how I have it worded:
SELECT
"ROOM"."ROOM_ID",
"PATIENT_CARE_EVENT"."OR_NUM"
FROM
"ROOM"."ROOM" LEFT OUTER JOIN "PATIENT_CARE_EVENT"."PATIENT_CARE_EVENT"
ON "PATIENT_CARE_EVENT"."OR_NUM"="ROOM"."ROOM_ID" AND "PATIENT_CARE_EVENT"."PROCEDURE_DATE_DT" IN {?Start Date} TO {?End Date}
Someone else suggested that I change the IN/TO wording in the last line to BETWEEN/AND. When I do that it gives me an error stating that the table or view does not exist.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Transform NOT EXIST Subquery In LEFT OUTER JOIN With Nested Tables?
Mar 22, 2012these are the sample data :
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE CourseList AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(64);
CREATE TABLE department (
courses CourseList)
NESTED TABLE courses STORE AS courses_tab;
INSERT INTO department (courses)VALUES (CourseList('1','2','3'));
[code]....
The query returns the correct data, CourseList that are not subset of any other CourseList of the table.
I am trying to convert this not exists in a left outer join query to check if the performance is better, but I don't know how to do it.
I was making some variations of this code :
select d1.courses c_1, d2.courses c_2
from department d1,department d2
where d1.courses<>d2.courses(+);
but it is now working.
SQL & PL/SQL :: ORDERED Hint - Using With Left Outer Joins
Nov 7, 2011I am trying to understand "ordered" hint. I want to use it in my sql where I am using some left outer joins. I believe if I use this ordered hint it will be much faster.
But the problem is I am not able to understand the concept of this hint. As i did alot of search on this eveyone says it will be , even I got some similar references where it worked But I am getting contradicting explanation for on this.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Difference Between Using MINUS And NOT IN
Sep 28, 2011I am looking for an explanation for having the following query:
SELECT PK_SERIAL_NUMBER FROM TABLE1 MINUS (SELECT FK_SERIAL_NUMBER FROM TABLE2);
Which normally returns the values of SERIAL_NUMBER that are not passed to the child table TABLE2
and the query:
SELECT PK_SERIAL_NUMBER FROM TABLE1 WHERE PK_SERIAL_NUMBER
NOT IN
(
SELECT FK_SERIAL_NUMBER FROM TABLE2
);
which returns 0 rows!
Difference Between NOT IN - MINUS - NOT EXISTS / EXCEPT Operators?
Nov 19, 2011where difference lies between these operators or clause, & whether there is any "except" operator in oracle, i know other three are used bt dont think oracle uses "except" too..as far as i have seen "NOT IN", "MINUS" , "NOT EXISTS" are exactly similar?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSQL & PL/SQL :: Normal Join And Outer Join
Oct 19, 2013Lets say I have three tables t1 and t2 and t3.
SELECT * FROM T1;
Id
____
1
2
3
4
SELECT * FROM T2;
Id
____
1
SELECT * FROM T3;
Id
____
1
Now when data exists in T2 and T3, I want to return only the records in T1 that match the records in T2 and T3 which is basically a normal join
select t1.id from t1, t2,t3 where t1.id = t2.id and t1.id = t3.id
However when there are no records in T2 or T3, I want to return all records in T1 i.e 1,2,3,4
One way of doing that is using the not exists clause
select * from t1 where not exists ( select null from t2 where t2.Id != t1.id) and not exists ( select null from t3 where t1.Id != t3.id)
Is there a better way of doing this in sql ?
SQL & PL/SQL :: Use Greater And Less Than In Left Join?
Apr 9, 2013I am creating a query where I am trying to take phone call lengths and put them into buckets of length ranges 0:00 - 0:59, 1:00 - 1:59 etc. Even if there are no calls in the call table I need to return the range with a zero (hence the left join and nvl). When I do this the left join acts like an equal join, I suspect there is some reason left joins only work if there is an equal condition in the join (instead of >= and < that I use, or similarly I could use BETWEEN). I also have a question about performance (below).
The create table script for the lookup is like this:
CREATE TABLE DURATION_RANGES
(
RANGE_TEXT varchar2(20),
RANGE_LBOUND decimal(22),
RANGE_UBOUND decimal(22)
)
Sample inserts are:
INSERT INTO DURATION_RANGES (RANGE_TEXT,RANGE_LBOUND,RANGE_UBOUND) VALUES ('00:00 - 00:59',0,59);
INSERT INTO DURATION_RANGES (RANGE_TEXT,RANGE_LBOUND,RANGE_UBOUND) VALUES ('01:00 - 01:59',60,119);
etc.
The query is:
select
r.range_text as duration_range,
nvl(count(*),0) as calls,
nvl(SUM(call_duration),0) as total_duration
from
[code]...
As I say, it is not returning all ranges in the duration_ranges table, so acting like an inner join. I realize one solution would be to populate duration ranges with every value possible (instead of ranges) so join is an equal join, but that would make the duration_range table larger.
My questions:
1. Is it possible to get the left join to work with the duration range values as they currently are?
2. Even if 1 is possible, would it be better performance to have exact values (but a larger lookup table) and do an equals join instead of >=, < or BETWEEN? Performance now is not bad.
What I mean is (with only one time value and not lbound and ubound:
INSERT INTO DURATION_RANGES (RANGE_TEXT,RANGE_LBOUND,RANGE_UBOUND) VALUES ('00:00 - 00:59',0);
INSERT INTO DURATION_RANGES (RANGE_TEXT,RANGE_LBOUND,RANGE_UBOUND) VALUES ('00:00 - 00:59',1);
INSERT INTO DURATION_RANGES (RANGE_TEXT,RANGE_LBOUND,RANGE_UBOUND) VALUES ('00:00 - 00:59',2);
SQL & PL/SQL :: LEFT JOIN And NVL Isn't Working
Nov 29, 2011Using Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
Here's a simplified version of the query I am having problems with:
SELECT
assoc.association_id
FROM mentor_initiative mi
LEFT JOIN program assoc_prog ON assoc_prog.program_id = -1
LEFT JOIN mentor_association assoc ON assoc.mentor_initiative_id = mi.mentor_initiative_id AND
NVL(assoc_prog.program_id, -1) = NVL(assoc.program_id, -1)
Note that there is no program with program id -1. So the assoc_prog left join will come up with nothing. I was thinking that since assoc_prog.program_id will be null, the second assoc left join would pick the row where assoc.program_id is null. However, the second left join doesn't join to any row.
In this query, it does join to an assoc row (I changed assoc_prog.program_id to NULL)
SELECT
assoc.association_id
FROM mentor_initiative mi
LEFT JOIN program assoc_prog ON assoc_prog.program_id = -1
LEFT JOIN mentor_association assoc ON assoc.mentor_initiative_id = mi.mentor_initiative_id AND NVL(NULL, -1) = NVL(assoc.program_id, -1)
I was thinking it would join to an assoc row in the first query though. How can I change the first query to have the desired effect of left joining to a row where assoc.program_id is null if assoc_prog.program_id is null?

SQL & PL/SQL :: Left Join With Fixed String Failed?
Jun 17, 2010I have the following 2 SQLs ; one return 1 row, another one is no row returned.
select v.value
from v$parameter v
where v.name = 'cpu_count';
return value "1"
select o.value
from v$osstat o
where o.stat_name = 'NUM_CPU_CORES';
No row returned.
combine the above two in to 1 SQL, and return 1 , null or 1, 1. I assume we can get it with left join for the condition "o.stat_name (+) = 'NUM_CPU_CORES'" , but no row returned for the following SQL. How could we get the result for 1, null for this case?
select v.value, o.value -- or NVL(o.value, 1)
from v$parameter v, v$osstat o
where v.name = 'cpu_count'
and o.stat_name (+) = 'NUM_CPU_CORES';
no row returned
Forms :: How To Base A Block On Left Join
Feb 5, 2012I am trying to develop an application of cars. The car have marques example :
TOYOTA,HUNDAI,CHEVROLET
each mark have families example: TOYOTA have Hilux, yaris corola, CHEVROLET have opra,...etc. Each family have a lot of models example: hilux have h2kn-clim,.. etc. And finally there are some options witch are generally in all cars example Radio-k7,air-conditioner ... etc.
option 1..n-----------------1..n model the relation call(opt_mod)
i did develop the block of marques (master) and the block of families (detail) in a form 1. i did develop the bock of models(master) in form 2 and the is no problem. but i want to add to form 2 the block of (opt_mod) but the user did tell me that he want to to see all options with check boxes .
As a solution of this problem i want to build a block on LEFT JOIN between table :option and table :opt_mod
SQL & PL/SQL :: Incorrect LEFT JOIN Results In 11gR2?
Jul 20, 2011We just upgraded to 11g and have run into incorrect results for some of our LEFT JOINs. If the table, view, subquery, or WITH clause that is being LEFT JOINed to contains any constants, the results are not correct.
For example, a test (nonsensical) view such as the following is created:
create or replace view fyvtst1 as
select spriden_pidm as fyvtst1_pidm,
'Sch' as fyvtst1_test
from spriden
where spriden_last_name like 'Sch%' ;
When I run the following query, I get correct results; that is, only those with "Sch" starting their last name are listed.
select spriden_pidm, spriden_last_name, fyvtst1_pidm, fyvtst1_test
from spriden
join fyvtst1 on fyvtst1_pidm = spriden_pidm ;
However, when I change the JOIN to a LEFT JOIN, the last column contains "Sch" for all rows, instead of NULL:
select spriden_pidm, spriden_last_name, fyvtst1_pidm, fyvtst1_test
from spriden
left join fyvtst1 on fyvtst1_pidm = spriden_pidm ;
We've discovered other quirky things related to this. A WITH clause with similar logic as the above view, when LEFT JOINed to a table will also cause the constant to appear in each row, instead of NULL (and only the value where there is a join). But when additional columns are added to the WITH, it behaves correctly.
This is easy enough to rewrite - but we have WITHs and views containing constants in numerous places, and cannot hope to track down every single one successfully before the incorrect results are used.
Finally, the NO_QUERY_TRANSFORMATION hint will force the query to work correctly. Unfortunately, it has a huge negative performance impact (one query ran for an hour, vs. 1 second in 10g).
SQL & PL/SQL :: Query Without Outer Join
Nov 2, 2012I have an attendance table in which we have empno, time_in, time_out..etc.
I want to create a matrix report that should shows all dates of any specific required month in columns and present empno in rows and time_in in cells.
I did it with using a temporary table by filling all the required dates and outer join with attendance table, it works fine, but it takes so long, is there any other better fast way to do it?
SQL & PL/SQL :: Outer Join On One Column?
Jan 7, 2011I have two tables A and B
Table A
bill_id number,
bill_line_id number,
discountnumber,
month varchar2(12),
year varchar2(4)
Table B
bill_id number,
bill_line_id number,
total_amt number,
customer_idnumber,
sales_repvarchar2(25),
sales_begindate,
sales_enddate
For all the records in table B I am trying to get discount information from table A. Each bill_id has one or many billing_line ids.It is not mandatory that all the bill_line_id from table B should be present in table A.in other words: a.bill_id can be 100 and a.bill_line_id = 456 but in table B, for b.bill_id =100 there can be b.bill_line_id = 123 and bill_line_id = 456.
I am joining the 2 tables based on bill_id, bill_line_id, and the start and end date.I am not sure how the outer join is done...Basically for every bill_id i need all bill_line id from table A.I am not sure how to *outer join on only one column*. When i tried it did not fetch all the rows from A.
select *
from table B left outer join table A on
a.bill_line_id = b.bill_line_id
and a.month = TRIM (TO_CHAR (b.sale_begin, 'Month'))
and a.year = extract(year from b.sale_begin)
where a.bill_id = b.bill_id
This is what I need: for every bill_line_id in table B i need discount information from table A if that bill_line_id is not in table A, the discount can be null. But, the bill_line_id in A and B should be for the same bill_id a.bill_id = b.bill_id and the outer join ......
SQL & PL/SQL :: OUTER Join That Gives No Result
Aug 17, 2012i have the following problem

I should have a result with this request but there's nothing and the problem come from the fact that when the following condition is not met, there are no resulty even if there's an outer join
and memo.dateCreation = (select MAX(DEM_DATE_CREATION_MEMO)

SQL & PL/SQL :: Double Right Outer Join
Oct 12, 2011I have a query which does a double right outer join, and I need it to be rewritten using the newer syntax.
The previous query had the following clause:
WHERE

SQL & PL/SQL :: Insert And Outer Join
Aug 13, 2011I am working on a query that has outer joins. The result of this query has to be stored into a table. When i execute this query alone (without INSERT command) it works absolutely fine but when i put the INSERT statement it gives me the error message "ORA-01719: outer join operator (+) not allowed in operand of OR or IN". The thing is I dont have an IN or OR in my query. I am in the middle of something

I have the following query that will not run when I include columns (see 1.2) in the select but will run when I use the asterix symbol (see 1.1)
*1.1 Runs with no problems*
select *
from ora full outer join txt on ora.ora_id_y = txt.txt_id_y;*1.2 Returns error.*
select txt.txt_id_y
, txt.txt_n
[code]...
Is it possible to use one query with self joins and using multiple full outer joins to accomplish what I have below which is 6 view to get to the query that I have in Question 1.
CREATE SCRIPT
drop table master;
create table master
( id varchar2 (10 char)
, txt varchar2 (1 char)
[code]...
