Use MAX Function Without It Being In Results?

Apr 4, 2007

i have a query where i am using the max function to find the most recent record. What i want to do is use that query as part of an insert statement into a different table, however, i don't want to insert the column that i used the max function on. Is there anyway to use the max function without having the column it is being used on showing in the results?

Aggregate Function - Combine Results

Nov 24, 2009

I have a query more or less like this:

SELECT field1,
COUNT(x) AS COUNT
FROM my_table
GROUP BY field1;

For field1 I want to get a count, but if field1 is like 'ABC%' then I want to combine all of those.

So if I have the following:
ABC1 | 5
ABC2 | 10
XYZ1 | 3

I want results like this:
ABC | 15
XYZ1 | 3

I've tried using some case statements like

SELECT CASE
WHEN field1 LIKE 'ABC%' THEN
'ABC'
ELSE
field1
END AS field1,
COUNT(x) AS COUNT
FROM my_table
GROUP BY CASE
WHEN field1 LIKE 'ABC%' THEN
'ABC'
ELSE
field1
END;

but this just gives me
ABC | 5
ABC | 10
XYZ1 | 3

How can I combine record 1 and 2 from the last record set example above?

I am testing a supposedly very simple stored procedure in XE. It compiles with no errors but when I enter the following command in the SQL Command window I get an ORA-00911: invalid character.

call get_all_customer_orgs;

The get_all_customer_orgs procedure is defined as.

create or replace procedure get_all_customer_orgs (p_recordset out sys_refcursor)
is
begin
open p_recordset for
select * from customerorgs;
end get_all_customer_orgs;

I don't understand what the invalid character could be.

Any Way To Pivot Results Of A Query?

Apr 23, 2007

Is there anyway to pivot the results of a query?

so if i have:

SELECT GROUP, count(*)
FROM GROUP
GROUP BY GROUP

And it give the following output:

A 10
B 50
c 24

Is there anyway to put into this format?

A B C
10 50 24

I am doubting that there is and that i am going to have to handle this in my code later, but it never hurts to ask!

SQL & PL/SQL :: Grouping Results By Ranges?

Oct 21, 2010

I have this table,

Create table TBL_OK_HIST
(
DATE_KEY NUMBER,
A_N VARCHAR2(22 BYTE),
R_DUR VARCHAR2(8 BYTE),
CH_DUR VARCHAR2(8 BYTE),
REV VARCHAR2(20 BYTE)

insert into TBL_OK_HIST
values (20101012,122235768,25,25,3);
[Code] ......

Thus, applying the following would yeld:

Select * from TBL_OK_HIST

2010101134681256717202
2010101068123456755559

generate the following results:

SQL & PL/SQL :: Search B If Not In A - But Only Use Results From A If In Both Tables?

Nov 11, 2010

I'm trying to select from table "A" where value1 and value2 match. If the values are not in table "A", try table "B". If the values exist in BOTH tables - only look at the results from table "A".

Table "A" may or may not have "new" data coming into the system.
Table "B" may or may not have "existing" data.

The code I am writing needs to find the "newest" data row for value1 and value2. Eventually the data in table "A" gets "Merged" into table "B" further on in the process.

Supposedly this can be done in a single query using a left outer join and the NVL function, but the person I inherited this from isn't available.

I've been able to get the row back if it exists in "A" or "B", but end up with two rows or no rows if the row exists in both... Arrrg...

Outputting Results Of Stored Procedure

Jan 11, 2008

I am new to the wonderful world of Oracle. I want to be able to view the results of a stored procedure in an output window, say out of Oracle SQL developer. Unfortunately it appears I need to write some more code to actually view the data. Consider the following:

CREATE OR REPLACE
PROCEDURE TESTSPROC2(c_test out sys_refcursor) AS
BEGIN
open c_test for
select * from test_table order by id_no;
END TESTSPROC2;

to view this I need something on the order of:

DECLARE
cc sys_refcursor;
r cc%rowtype;
BEGIN
TESTSPROC2(C_TEST => cc);
loop
fetch cc into r;
exit when cc%notfound;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('C_TEST = ' || r.data_element);
end loop;
close cc;
END;

But this is weakly typed so I get all sorts of errors associated with the row definition of line 3. create the record based on the table (something like: r test_table%rowtype).

What I really want is a generic reader than can be ported around to output any sproc I put together.

On a more generic note, why Oracle has chosen to make PL/SQL inordinately more complicated than say MS SQL/Servers tSQL? I mean in tSQL I would just write:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TESTSPROC2
AS
select * from test_table order by id_no;
GO

and viola, a nice result set spits out in Query Analyzer (or a .net application).

Getting Random Results Creating Table

Jan 19, 2012

I am trying to create a csv file with summarized data. We have a huge table with claim details that is constantly being updated. I am pulling a subset of records that match my criteria into a tempory table (not technically an Oracle temporary table, a regular table that will only exist until I drop it when I am done). This table has multiple entries per claim with different effective dates, paid dates and amounts paid. The result file needs to have one entry per claim with the oldest effective and paid dates and the total of all of the amounts paid on that claim.

Originally I was doing create table new_table as select claim_nbr,other data...,min(ymdeff),min(ymdpaid),sum(amtpay) from my_table group by claim_nbr,other data...

If I ran a select sum(amtpay) from my_table and select sum(amtpay) from new_table I was not getting the same results... If I ran select count (*) from (select distinct claim_nbr from my_table) and select count (*) from (select distinct claim_nbr from new_table) or select count (*) from new_table I was getting the same number of rows. So I wasn't completely losing claims from one table to the next, just some of the details. So, I tried running this:

select * from
(select claim_nbr,sum(amtpay) paysum from my_table
group by claim_nbr
order by claim_nbr) m,
(select claim_nbr,sum(amtpay) paysum from new_table
group by claim_nbr
order by claim_nbr) n
where
m.claim_nbr = n.claim_nbr and
m.paysum <> n.paysum;

It came back with the claim number causing the issue. I looked at all the entries in my_table for that claim and every field was identical except the ymdeff, ymdpaid and amtpay. There were 4 records in my_table however the amtpay in new_table was only a sum of 2 of the records... I our admin look over my shoulder to see what was wrong and they wanted me to recreate new_table. So I dropped new_table and ran the exact same SQL to recreate the table. The number of distinct claim numbers was still the same in both tables and the sum of new_table was off but not by the same amount. I ran my comparison to see which claim was off and now there were two claims where the totals didn't match and neither were the same as the claim that was wrong that first time. We dropped new_table and recreated it several times and every time we got different results... No one else knows the name of my_table so no one was messing with it at the same time plus the sum of amtpay in my_table always comes back the same.

Our admin said he thought he remembered there being something "funny" with the min function sometime so he had me remove those fields. Ran the query several times and the total came out correct each time. Well I still need the dates so I came up with another way (very convoluted) using subqueries and ranking. It seemed to work at first then it started losing random numbers of claims (fewer rows in new_table than distinct claims in my_table) or keeping all the claims but dropping detail lines like I had using the min functions.

Here is the backwards way around using min that drops whole claims sometimes but works fine other times:

CREATE table new_table
as
(select claim_nbr,other data...,amtpay,ymdeff,ymdpaid
from
(select claim_nbr,other data... ,sum(amtpay) amtpay
from my_table
group by claim_nbr,other data...

SQL & PL/SQL :: Return Results Based On 2 Columns?

Jul 15, 2013

I've been having an issue and cannot figure it out for the life. First, here's an example set of the data I'm using so you can see exactly what I'm asking.

Emplid Effdt Effseq

10001 '01-JAN-99' 0

10001 '01-JUL-11' 0

10001 '01-JUL-11' 1

10001 '01-JUL-11' 2

10001 '01-JUL-12' 3

What I need to do here, is obtain 3 rows. The 3 rows I need are rows 1, 4, and 5. I need row 1 because its a completely different date. I need row 5 for the same reason: it's a different date. The issue arises with how I can obtain row 4. The problem is that because rows 2, 3, and 4 all have the same effective date(effdt), SQL Developer just returns one of those rows. Because those 3 rows all have the same effective date(effdt), the tie breaker becomes the effective sequence(effseq) number. When the effective date(effdt) is the same, you need to grab the maximum effective sequence(effseq) number and return that whole row's results such as the emplid, effdt, and effseq. It seems so straight forward and something you can use a subquery for, but its not that simple. Note, that you can specifically use the emplid = 10001 in any specific form because there's many employee id's. Also, the rows will not be in a specific order so you cannot just always grab rows 1, 4, and 5. Some employees may only have a single row in the database, and some may have 50 rows. Everything solely depends on the combination of employee id(emplid), effective date(effdt), and effective sequence(effseq) as the tie breaker.
