SQL & PL/SQL :: Get Single Row From Multiple Duplicate Values Of One Field?
Sep 10, 2012
CREATE TABLE prim_tbl
(id NUMBER,--- id is not primary key here
description VARCHAR2(30));
INSERT ALL
INTO prim_tbl VALUES (1,'aad')
INTO prim_tbl VALUES (1,'aads')
INTO prim_tbl VALUES (2,'bb')
INTO prim_tbl VALUES (2,'cc')
INTO prim_tbl VALUES (2,'dd')
SELECT * FROM dual;
I want to select the ids only one time, i.e my output will have only two rows: one row with id as 1 and other row with id 2 whatever be the description.
desired output sample:
Quote:1, aad
2, bb
I used:
select distinct(id),description from prim_tbl;
but it did not give the required result.How can I get it??
In literal terms, I'm interested in two fields, I'll call them Field A and Field B. I want to find all situations where a single unique value of Field A has both values Z AND X in Field B (not either or, but both together).
To go into some detail -
I need to make a query that finds ONLY occurrences where one employee id has a certain set of values together (without going into specifics, I'll say PermissionA, PermissionB, PermissionC). I can easily make a query that returns all user id's and all permissions belonging to them, and I can use criteria to filter the results to Permission A B and C only so as to exclude other permissions from getting returned (since there are hundreds),
however my objective is to get ONLY results where the same employee ID has all of those permissions (not just any one or two of the three). However, I don't want to have any criteria that limits the employee ID (I want to search all employee id's, and get a list of those with permissions a and b and c, not just any combination thereof, but all of them). I'm currently able to organize the output using a pivot table by employee id > role,
so that I can easily look at each employee and the roles they have, but I want to undertake a project that will involve searching a much larger number of employees (a # that makes it impractical for me to look through the list, I need to have a query that limits the results to the combinations that I'm looking for, as in this example - permission a b and c together).
Updating multiple ROWS with different values using single statement. Requirement is to update one column in a table with the values in the other table.
Say we have 3 tables, CORPORATION,CORPORATE PROFILE and MEMBER.
Each MEMBER has CORPORATE PROFILE which in turn is associated with CORPORATION. Now I need to update MEMBER table with CORPORATION identifier for members who belong to corporations with identifiers say 'ABC' and 'DEF'.
MEMBER table contains column 'CORPIDENTIFIER '. CORPORATEPROFILE table contains MEMBERID and CORPORATIONID,this will associate a member with the corporation. CORPORATION table contains ID and CORPIDENTIFIER.
Using the below query I am getting error,ORA-01427:single-row subquery returns more than one row
UPDATE MEMBER M SET M.CORPIDENTIFIER= (SELECT A.IDENTIFIER FROM CORPORATION A,CORPORATEPROFILE B WHERE B.CORPORATIONID=A.ID AND B.MEMBERID=M.ID AND (A.IDENTIFIER LIKE 'ABC' OR A.IDENTIFIER LIKE 'DEF'))
Sub query in the above query returns multiple rows and hence it is throwing the error.More than one members are associated with Corporations ABC and DEF. Is there any way possible to update all the rows in single query with out iterating the result set of sub query.
I have two tables eim_asset and eim_asset1.I want to update the table eim_asset1 using the following update SQL (Or Logic)
update eim_asset1 set emp_emp_login = (select login from s_user where row_id in (select row_id from s_emp_per where row_id in (select pr_emp_id from s_postn where row_id in (select position_id from s_accnt_postn where ou_ext_id in (select row_id from s_org_ext where row_id in (select owner_accnt_id from s_asset where owner_accnt_id is not null)))))
It gives me the ORA error : ORA-01427:single-row subquery returns more than one row.know why I am getting it, because of the one-to-many relationship between owner accounts and their assets.
Is there a way to avoid multiple UNION statements and get statitc values in single SQL?
select 'Week1' as term from dual UNION select 'Week2' as term from dual UNION .... ....Some functionality like selecting from dynamic table column-rows.... like .. "select term from table(term(rowvalues('Week1', 'Week2'...'Week5')) from dual" or something like that
I have a user requirement where they want to be able to select multiple values for a single parameter that will act as a filter for a report. The possible values for a parameter can come from almost any master data Oracle eBusiness table. I don't want to just present the user with a LOV where they search down a list selecting what they want. That wouldn't be very practical for selecting part numbers from 1000's of rows. I also want the user to easily see what values they have selected. I thought about providing a button that would navigate to a multi-row form where they could record their values and use those values in the where clause of the SQL for the report, but that is a somewhat complex solution I have never tried before. how to do this. I'm working in the latest version 4 of APEX.
My need is to pass multiple values as single input parameter into pipelined function. For example - "2" and "3" are values of input parameter "t":
with data as ( select 1 as t from dual union all select 2 as t from dual union all select 3 as t from dual union all select 4 as t from dual union all select 5 as t from dual ) select * from data where t in (2,3)
How to merge multiple rows into single row (but multiple columns) efficiently.
For example
IDVal IDDesc IdNum Id_Information_Type Attribute_1 Attribute_2 Attribute_3 Attribute_4 Attribute_5 23 asdc 1 Location USA NM ABQ Four Seasons 87106 23 asdc 1 Stats 2300 91.7 8.2 85432 23 asdc 1 Audit 1996 June 17 1200 65 affc 2 Location USA TX AUS Hilton 92305 65 affc 2 Stats 5510 42.7 46 9999 65 affc 2 Audit 1996 July 172 1100
where different attributes mean different thing for each Information_type. For example for Information_Type=Location
Attribute_1 means Country Attribute_2 means State and so on.
For example for Information_Type=Stats
Attribute_1 means Population Attribute_2 means American Ethnicity percentage and so on.
I want to create a view that shows like below:
IDVal IDDesc IDNum Country State City Hotel ZipCode Population American% Other% Area Audit Year AuditMonth Audit Type AuditTime 23 asdc 1 USA NM ABQ FourSeasons 87106 2300 91.7 46 85432 1996 June 17 1200 65 affc 2 USA TX AUS Hilton 92305 5510 42.7 46 9999 1996 July 172 1100
The closest I got was with the below, but this also returns duplicates within the same NAME_ID.
select phone_number, name_id from name_phone where (phone_number) in (select phone_number from name_phone group by phone_number having count(*) > 1) group by phone_number, name_id order by phone_number
i'm trying to duplicate my RAC database with ASM and 2 nodes to a single node, non ASM with rman duplicate database for standby with active database on windows. The problem is i dont know how to remove RAC configuration when duplicating the database.
Here is the procedure:
On standby i've: - installed database software, - configured listener and tnsnames, - added instance service (oradim -new -sid STANDBY -intpwd PASSWORD -startmode M), - configured initora (with only db_name = STANDBY) - configured orapwd file - startup nomount
on RAC node1:
rman target sys/PASSWORD@RAC connected to target database RMAN> connect auxiliary sys/password@STANDBY connected to auxiliary database: STANDBY (not mounted)
now for the duplicate command:
RMAN> duplicate target database 2> for standby 3> from active database 4> spfile 5> parameter_value_convert = '+DATA/RAC','D:\oracle\11.2.0\DATAFILES\DATA\STANDBY' 6> set db_unique_name='STANDBY' 7> set log_file_name_convert = '+DATA/RAC','D:\oracle\11.2.0\DATAFILES\DATA\STANDBY' 8> set db_file_name_convert = '+DATA/RAC','D:\oracle\11.2.0\DATAFILES\DATA\STANDBY';
i have tried adding this parameter - set cluster_database='false' but no luck.
I have two tables Table1 Id1 Name1 1 Jack 2 Jack 3 John
Table2 ID2 Name2 NULL Jack NULL John
I would be assigning ID2 from ID1 based on name match.As Jack has 2 ids when I use the statement UPDATE TABLE2 set id2 = (select distinct ID1 from table1 where table1.name1=table2.name2);
I get an error message as select statement would return more than one row and the update statement fails completely. with the sql statement to update the ID2 as error when we have duplicate records and continue with the update for other records. like table ID2 Name2 ERROR Jack
i have master-detail form.in master my bill_id gets generated when new form is open and i copy the same bill_id in detail(tabular)for each item.all the items which i enter in detail form get save the same bill_id which got generated.
in another form(which is tabular) i want to display bill_id's from detail form.but in detail form . There are same bill_id's more than once.but i want to display those bill_id's which are more than once only once.
I need to delete the duplicate values from plsql table OR move the distinct values in plsql table to other plsql table.
how can i do this ?
DECLARE TYPE alist IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(10) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER; p_tbl alist; BEGIN p_tbl(1) := 'A1'; p_tbl(2) := 'B2J'; p_tbl(3) := 'A1'; [code]......
The p_tb1 table contains all the above values including duplicates. Now I need only distinct values to be copied in another plsql table of same type.
I am trying write a script that will return all values (based on the minimum tarif) from the Germany table for any duplicate values. Duplicate values are any values with the same UFI, ZC,limitid,depot. The German table also contains the fields tarif, city, supplier, etc.
Below is the script I have previously used to sort out duplicates. I have tried 50 different ways get it to return just lines for the minimum tariff but haven't been successful.
select * from Germany t where (ufi,zc,limitid,depot) in ( select ufi,zc,limitid,depot from ( select ufi,zc,limitid,depot, count(*) n from Germany t group by ufi,zc,limitid,depot) where n<>1 )
Table contains duplicate data . Have to move data to another table. Criteria: check for duplicate values if duplicate exist move all duplicates except one to the history table. While moving to other table see if the record being moved already exists.

[Code]....
FIRST 4 RECORDS ARE DUPLICATES FROM WHICH 1 RECORD GOES TO w_grp AND ONE GOES TO HISTORY TABLE. THE RECORD WHICH GOES INTO w_grp OUT OF THE DUPLICATES WILL DEPEND ON THE LAST MODIFIED DATE FOR EACH
DISTINCT VALUES GO IN w_grp TABLE DUPLICATE GO INTO match_his TABLE
id name plan code 1 sam normal 5 1 sam normal 6 1 sam special 5 1 sam Special 6
I need to delete data in such a way that one entry with normal and one entry with special plan should remain and should be with different code. Does not matter whether normal stays with 5 or 6 code.
I tried with rowid but it deletes either both normal or both special or returns same code for normal and special.
I'm going to do some testing, and for that I require to retrieve some data based on a single column e.g test_data_col, which -
1. Has 3 or more count(test_data_col) for a given set of group by columns e.g grp_col1, grp_col2, grp_col3 2. Within the set of rows retrieved, that particular column holds some duplicate values. I don't need the duplicates displayed, just know if duplicates exist or not.
This might explain what I'm trying to do -
grp_col1, grp_col2, grp_col3, test_data_col
1, A, xyz, HELLO 1, A, xyz, HELLO 1, A, xyz, BYE 1, A, xyz, GOODBYE
2, C, pqr, WELCOME 2, C, pqr, GOOD MORNING 2, C, pqr, BAD MORNING
So for condition 1, I do something like this -
SELECT COUNT(test_data_col) cnt, grp_col_1, grp_col2, grp_col3 FROM test_tab GROUP BY grp_col_1, grp_col2, grp_col3 HAVING COUNT(test_data_col) >= 3;
In this same query, I want to do something that will tell me if the aggregate COUNT(test_data_col) has any duplicate values within it. Again, displaying the duplicates is not important here.
SELECT COUNT(test_data_col) cnt, grp_col_1, grp_col2, grp_col3, /*some logic*/ dup_val FROM test_tab GROUP BY grp_col_1, grp_col2, grp_col3 HAVING COUNT(test_data_col) >= 3;With the proper coding to replace /*some logic*/, I get following values -
cnt, grp_col_1, grp_col2, grp_col3, dup_val
4, 1, A, xyz, Y 3, 2, C, pqr, N
I just gave dup_val column to explain what I'm trying to achieve.. any other way to know the existence of duplicates in the count aggregate will be fine.My Oracle version is Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0
Are some posibilities to exclude duplicate values do not using sql aggregate functions in main select statement? Priview SQL statement
SELECT * FROM ( select id,hin_id,name,code,valid_date_from,valid_date_to from diaries )
[Code]....
In this case i got duplicate of entry TT2 id 50513 In main select statement cant use agregate functions are even posible to exclude this value from result modifying only the QLRST WHERE clause (TRUNC need to be here)
Consider below is a multi record block rows, i want to hide "23". Is it possible using Set_Item_Instance_Property or any other built-in is there in oracle forms to hide a single row field in a multi record block.
I have developed one report but need one formatting suggestion. There is one field called "DESCRIPTION", I want the value of this field to be displayed in a single line. Now the big values are wrapped into multiple line.
Now,
DISPLAY ---------------- This is a Oracle Report.
I want, DISPLAY ------------------------ This is a Oracle Report.
I know I can add a check constraint for m,t,w,r,f,s,u How can I add a constraint that will allow any combination of the above. For example it would allow m or mf, or mwf Someone said it could be done with trim but I can not figure it out.
I have a table in schema with a BLOB field. I store employee's picture in this field. Fields in this table are emp_id (number) emp_name (varchar2) and emp_photo (BLOB). I want to ask if there is a way in pl / sql that i could empty this BLOB field to null or reset this field so that user can change the saved photo graph and save another one.
what i am looking for is something like
alter table employee set emp_photo = empty_blob() or alter table employee set emp_photo = null
