As per NULL values concept
One NULL value is not equal to other NULL value.
But how DISTINCT and UNION eliminating NULL values.
Then how UNIQUE key constraint accepting more than one NULL value..
I have one scenario in which i want to write the sql,but not able to write correct qry,
tables
1-emp
2-emp_hist
3-dept
4-dept_hist.
i want to retrieve data from the emp and hist able based on some conditions,but if data is not present in emp and dept tables.then fetch data from emp_hist and dept_hist.I have written below qry which is working fine,but my prob is i want to provide my emp_id only one place.
else i have to change my java code.
select * from emp,dept where emp.emp_id=dept.dept_id and emp_id=5
union
select * from emp_hist,dept_hist where emp_hist.emp_id=dept_hist.dept_id and emp_id=5
Here is the table structure I will be speaking of below:
SELECT lvl_1_id, lvl_1_dsc,
lvl_2_id, lvl_2_dsc,
lvl_3_id, lvl_3_dsc,
lvl_4_id, lvl_4_dsc,
lvl_5_id, lvl_5_dsc,
lvl_6_id, lvl_6_dsc,
lvl_7_id, lvl_7_dsc,
lvl_8_id, lvl_8_dsc
FROM item_hier_tbl;
I have a table that mimics an hierarchy of items (parent-child relationship). The top level (level 1) never has a NULL value, but it is possible for any of the lower values to have a NULL value. For example, levels 1, 2, 5, 7, & 8 may have values, but 3, 4, & 6 may all be NULL.
I need a View that can return the same data, but with out NULL values. The View would move the NOT NULL values up the levels, so there is consecutive data on each level starting at level. So using the example, the View would move value in 5 up to 3, 7 up to 4, and 8 up to 5. Then level 6 to 8 would have NULL.
I have done this already by creating a 2nd table and using a stored proc to copy the data over to the new table they I want it. But I was told a View or Materialized view "may" work, and perform quicker during the queries. I looked at the Oracle functions LAG and LEAD, but by definition they work by rows, I need to work by columns on the same row.
LAG (value_expression [,offset] [,default]) OVER ([query_partition_clause] order_by_clause)
LEAD (value_expression [,offset] [,default]) OVER ([query_partition_clause] order_by_clause)
Is what I am asking possible in a View or Materialized View?
Is it better to use UNION (or) UNION ALL with DISTINCT,Which one will improve performance.
Query1:
SELECT deptno FROM emp
UNION
SELECT deptno FROM dept
Query2:
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM(SELECT deptno FROM emp
UNION ALL
SELECT deptno FROM dept)
I mean to say query1 is better (or) query2 is better,which query improves the performance.
i have a table with a clob column and i have 150 records i want retrieve distinct values from the clob using distinct operator on clob will not work
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a scenario where I have to get all the available dates of a resource. I am using the below query to get it.
Select Avail_Date AS MONTH
, Resource_Id
FROM res_tsk
, (SELECT Rownum - 1 + TRUNC (sysdate) avail_date
FROM Dual
[code].......
The result of this is:
Month Dates Resource_ID
12/3/10 0:00 NULL
12/4/10 0:00 NULL
12/5/10 0:00 NULL
12/6/10 0:00 100033868
As I am doing a outer join, if the resource is not available on a particular day the resource_id is coming as NULL as it is not available. Is there any way to populate this NULL resource_id with the original resource_id as the resource_id is same for all the result set.
I need the output to be
Month Dates Resource_ID
12/3/10 0:00 100033868
12/4/10 0:00 100033868
12/5/10 0:00 100033868
12/6/10 0:00 100033868
I have a table with two columns, like:
123 xxx
456 xxx
789 yyy
987 yyy
And in the output I would like to have:
123 xxx
789 yyy
I tried with distinct and unique on the second column, but it doesn't work.
I have a table with 4 columns. The data is stored in an hierarchical format where L1 being the parent and L4 being the lowest child.
L1 L2 L3 L4
1 11 111 1111
2 21 211 2111
2 22 222 2222
[code]...
So each Level(L1 ..L4) has zero or many child levels which further has more levels.With out using PL/SQL how can we write a Select query to give me a distinct of all children, all the way to the lowest level (L4).Example: give me all the children where L1 = 3.Result: 31, 32, 33, 311, 322, 333, 3111, 3222, 3333Is it possible to write such a query or am I asking too much logic out of a select and should go with PL/SQL.

I have a cursor, whose sql is returning seven rows with these values:
9
4
4
9
7
9
4
i open cursor and fetch these values into variable as shown
OPEN id_search FOR l_sql_stmt;
LOOP
FETCH id_search INTO l_eve_id;
if l_eve_id != l_eve_id_prev then
l_eve_id_str := l_eve_id_str || ' , ' ||l_eve_id ;
[code].......
but i want only the distinct values in l_eve_id_str , i.e.,
l_eve_id_str := 9,4,7
What this code is doing is creating a string with all the values
l_eve_id_str := 9,4,4,9,7,9,4
How to remove duplicates from this string?
I have table as below :-
Table ABC(
ID Number,
startDate date,
City varchar2(10)

I need to write query which will get me all the CityNames for which there are no Startdate differs,
i.e. To get all the city name records for which all of the Startdate are same across all the records.
I dont want to go after Self Join due to performance issues, do we have any better way?

I need to write a query in plsql to select records for first 3 distinct values of a single column (below example, ID )and all the rows for next 3 distinct values of the column and so on till the end of count of distinct values of a column.
eg:
ID name age
1 abc 10
1 def 20
2 ghi 10
2 jkl 20
2 mno 60
3 pqr 10
4 rst 10
4 tuv 10
5 vwx 10
6 xyz 10
6 hij 10
7 lmn 10
.
.
.
so on... (till some count)
Result should be
Query 1 should result --->
ID name age
1 abc 10
1 def 20
2 ghi 10
2 jkl 20
2 mno 60
3 pqr 10
query 2 should result -->
4 rst 10
4 tuv 10
5 vwx 10
6 xyz 10
6 hij 10
query 3 should result -->
7 lmn 10

Is there a way to replace a field with another if the particular value returned is null?
View 11 Replies View RelatedWe are working on a migration project and we need to move 75 million rows from source system to target system.
Total number of columns in source system - 90 cols.
Out of the 90 columns 10 cols are system fields and rest 80 are properties for each record.
We are required to migrate all system cols and some required properties. In total we will migrate around 25 columns[10+15] for each record.
Before actaul migration , we need to do a data cleansing activity and hence we move the data to a staging table.
To create the staging table, we considered the below appraoches.
1. Create the staging table with around 30 coloumns so as to fit the data from source system[map the columns based on datatype]
2.Create the staging table with actual columns[90 columns] and import only the required properties. The rest all columns will remain NULL.
Do the data cleansing and move to target system.
My question here is, if we go with approach 2, We will not mix the data, as there will be a one-to-one mapping. But many columns will not have data and remain NULL. Will it affect the performance since we deal with 75 million rows.
I have a table abc with two column (marks,id) both can have any value.
Value of the id column is zero at several places.When I divide marks by id. I get divide by zero error.
how to replace zero with null.
I have main query..And i written a Query for Issued Quantity. The query is retrieving exact data. And when i add the Query in main query the data is coming with extra null values.
for ex. Query for Issued Qty fetch 16 records. and i run the main query it fetch 20 records...there r 4 records which issued Qty is null. How can i restrict that records.
My query is ignoring the null value
CODEselect count(*) as COUNT from EMP where EMP_ID in '1001,1002,1003'
returns the result as

EMP_ID '1001' has 0 records(i.e., EMP_ID 1001 doesnt exists in the table)
EMP_ID '1001' has 2 records
EMP_ID '1001' has 3 records
where as the query
CODEselect count(*) as COUNT, EMP_ID from EMP where EMP_ID in '1001,1002,1003' group by EMP_ID
returns the result as

How can I use OR condition in sql to check whether if the 6 col values in a row is NULL, I need something like below, but idk the syntax of checking if either of the mentioned cols is null using an or condition.
select a.mid
FROM table_a a
JOIN table_b b
ON a.dept = b.dept
JOIN table_c c
ON b.eid = c.eid
WHERE a.tid = :tid
AND (a.i1 or a.i2 or a.i3 or a.n1 or a.n2 or a.n3 or a.t1 or a.t2 or a.t3 ) IS NULL
There is a table with column holding 3 NULL values one each in every record. When a count function is applied to the column with a filter on NULLs,it returns 0 instead of 3.
But when count(*)is applied,expected result is returned. Would be interested in knowing about this strange behavior of NULL/Count.

My required result like below.

Our organization is attempting to learn more about the partitioning features of Oracle 11g. I've been reading the partitioning manuals, and I have not found a clear answer on this topic, but I suspect I know the answer.
If you create a range partitioned table; using interval partitioning, say something like this:
CREATE table range_parti (
CODE NUMBER(5),
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(50),
CREATED_DATE DATE)
PARTITION BY RANGE (created_date)
INTERVAL (NUMTOYMINTERVAL(1,'MONTH'))
(
PARTITION my_parti VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-NOV-2007','DD-MON-YYYY'))
);
but you try to insert a null value as the partition key, you get the following error:
SQL> INSERT INTO range_parti VALUES (1,'one',NULL);
INSERT INTO range_parti VALUES (1,'one',NULL)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-14400: inserted partition key does not map to any partition
Elapsed: 00:00:00.07
Is there no way to tell it to use a default partition for NULL values? Or specifically designate a partition for NULL values WITHOUT having to manually list out each partition? It seems it works if you don't use the INTERVAL keyword, list out your partitions, and use MAXVALUE. However, our hope to avoid having that as it creates monstrously huge DDL statements for tables that have lots of date ranges, and we will be forced to manually add new partitions each month as data is added/time passes.
It appears from my experience so far, if your column can allow nulls, you cannot use interval range partitioning on that column.
I use a cursor to select records from a database table into a C structure as follows...
{
int iLoop = 0;
int iResult = 0;
[Code]....
The otc_multiplier field is NULL. As is the to_date sometimes. However, when I output the records later, the entries where the to_date is NULL come out fine (no value). But the otc_multiplier is getting output as 0.0 using...
// this is output later in another fuction using the following..
sprintf(newRecord, "%.1f",daServiceRecs->itemMultiplier);
If using c structures in this manner, what is the method for ensuring that numeric values are set to NULL when required?
I have a report in report 6 which has static field where values are shown for previous year and for current year. the output of the report will be like this
sl no department prev year cur year
01 revenue 2000 5000
02 costing 500 1000
03 excise 8000 900
and so on....
I have a created a fomula field for each and every department and get the value from a particular table. What i require is if suppose the department revenue does not have any value then that row should not be visible. for eg if revenue has a null value then the report should be like this
sl no department prev year cur year
01 costing 500 1000
02 excise 8000 900
I'm using the odp.net type factory (class IOracleCustomType and the specific annotations...) to map udts to c# classes.By now I had no problems with it, because I've never used "ref" attributes within the udts.Now I need the use of "ref" attributes within udts but it seems that the odp factory cannot handle those references.
For example:_*
A Simple Type:
create or replace type bookcontent_t force as object (
id number(20)
, name varchar2(1000)
);*And a collection with references to objects of this type:*
create or replace type fms_bookcontent_ref_cln force as table of *ref* bookcontent_t;The c# class is generated by odp.net.
When I retrieve data by using odp.net I get a collection with the correct number of elements but the values are null.What can I do to solve this problem with "ref" attributes/lists? How can I get the referenced object instances?
Below given is the sample data
SELECT *
FROM
(
SELECT 1 ORDR_ID, TO_DATE('01-JAN-2012', 'DD-MON-YYYY') INWD_DATE, 5 SIZE_, 'APD' Colr_CD FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 1 ORDR_ID, TO_DATE('15-JAN-2012', 'DD-MON-YYYY') INWD_DATE, NULL SIZE_, 'KPD' Colr_CD FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 1 ORDR_ID, TO_DATE('16-JAN-2012', 'DD-MON-YYYY') INWD_DATE, NULL SIZE_, 'ALD' Colr_CD FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 2 ORDR_ID, TO_DATE('02-JAN-2012', 'DD-MON-YYYY') INWD_DATE, 9 SIZE_, 'APD' Colr_CD FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 2 ORDR_ID, TO_DATE('05-JAN-2012', 'DD-MON-YYYY') INWD_DATE, 10 SIZE_, '' Colr_CD FROM DUAL UNION ALL
[code]....
Where every first row is the initial entry for an order and following rows are the changes done to the order with modification date
And the expected output is
ORDR_ID Start_date End_date SIZE_ COLR_CD
1 01-01-12 01/15/2012 5 APD
