Syntax To Calculate Number Of Days Difference

Sep 27, 2010

setting up the query/correcting the syntax below so that it calculates the 'number of days difference' between whatever the 'Biggest Date' field value is and whatever the 'current date' is using the 'sysdate'. So far, I've only managed to get the query to calculate the number of days difference (days past due) between the 'need date' and 'estimated delivery date'.

CODESELECT
To_Date(need_date, 'YYYYMMDD') Need_Dt,
To_Date(Case when estimated_delivery > ' ' THEN estimated_delivery ELSE need_date END, 'YYYYMMDD') Biggest_Date,  
To_Date(need_date, 'YYYYMMDD') - To_Date(Case when estimated_delivery > ' ' THEN estimated_delivery ELSE need_date END, 'YYYYMMDD') Date_Diff
        
FROM tableT

WHERE
need_date <=  (Case when estimated_delivery > ' ' THEN  estimated_delivery ELSE need_date END)

ORDER BY Date_Diff ASC

SQL & PL/SQL :: Difference In Number Of Records In GROUP BY And PARTITION BY

If I run the following query I got 997 records by using GROUP BY.

SELECT c.ins_no, b.pd_date,a.project_id,
a.tech_no
FROM mis.tranche_balance a,
FMSRPT.fund_reporting_period b,
ods.proj_info_lookup c,
ods.institution d
WHERE a.su_date = b.pd_date
AND a.project_id = c.project_id
AND c.ins_no = d.ins_no
AND d.sif_code LIKE 'P%'
AND d.sif_code <> 'P-DA'
AND a.date_stamp >='01-JAN-2011'
AND pd_date='31-MAR-2011'
GROUP BY c.ins_no,
b.pd_date,
a.project_id,
a.tech_no;

I want to show the extra columns a.date_stamp and a.su_date in the out put so that I have used PARTITION BY in the second query but I got 1079 records.

SELECT c.ins_no, b.pd_date,a.date_stamp,a.su_date, a.project_id,
a.tech_no,
COUNT(*) OVER(PARTITION BY c.ins_no,
b.pd_date,
a.project_id,
a.tech_no)c
[code]....

why I got 1079 records.how to show the two extra columns in the out put whcich are not used in GROUP BY clause.

SQL & PL/SQL :: String Together Number Of LIKEs With ORs

Jun 28, 2010

If I have a "smart" key in a database, say one for which each byte of the key is meaningful, is it generally a good idea to string together a number of LIKEs with ORs? For example, if I want to select people where the last two bytes of that smart code are in a certain list and write:

where smart_key LIKE '%02'
or smart_key LIKE '%03'
or smart_key LIKE '%07'
or smart_key LIKE '%19'
or smart_key LIKE '%23'
or smart_key LIKE '%30'
or smart_key LIKE '%33'
or smart_key LIKE '%34'
or smart_key LIKE '%41'
etc.

Say I string a lot of those together, with 40 or 50 ORs. Right off the bat is it fair to say that's a bad query for Oracle, or do substrings of this sort generally perform well?

I am using this Regexp to extract numbers from a string, and I doubt that there is a more efficient way to get this done:

SQL & PL/SQL :: Find A Negative Number In String?

Apr 24, 2012

I am currently working on a Data Dictionary project where we need to run a few rules against the give data sources to see if they all comply together.

One of the rule is to check if the no. is negative or not. So for that what I tried to do was to check if first the field is number or not and then check on if it is negative or not.

This is the code I am currently trying on and is not looking good.

SELECT 1 FROM DUAL
WHERE decode(DECODE( TRANSLATE('-123.45','-0.123456789',''), NULL, 1,0), 1,substr('-123.45',1,1) ,' ' ) = '-'

SQL & PL/SQL :: Finding Number Of Pattern Occurrences In String?

Feb 4, 2012

The code which I am working on consists of an incoming dynamic string which be in the form of binary digits. The max size of the string will be 12 digits. For example, the string can be '111011000001', '000000000000', '111111011111', etc.

I need to find the number of occurences of '111' in the incoming string. Say in the 1st example, result will be 1, in the 2nd example result will be 0, and in the third example, the result will be 3.

I have been trying to capture the string length and replacing the variables '111' to find the number of occurences, but it isn't giving me the result that I want. This is what I have tried

SQL> conn hr/hr
Connected.
SQL> show user
USER is "HR"

[Code]....

I searched the forum and found a similar topic, and following that guideline, I even tried dividing the string with the length of the pattern. It works in some scenarios (the first and second examples mentioned below), while it fails in some scenarios (third example mentioned below)

SQL> select (length('11101110111') - length(replace('11101110111','111','')))/length('111') as occurences from dual;

OCCURENCES
----------
3

SQL> select (length('110111110111') - length(replace('110111110111','111','')))/length('111') as occurences from dual;

OCCURENCES
----------
2

SQL> select (length('111111111111') - length(replace('111111111111','111','')))/length('111') as occurences from dual;

OCCURENCES
----------

SQL & PL/SQL :: Pattern Matching And Updating Of Number Values In String?

#1|0|0|0|0|#2|1|0|0|1|#3|1|0|0|0|#4|0|0|0|0

Here, I want to update the above field value to a value in the form:

#2|0|0|0|0|#3|1|0|0|1|#4|1|0|0|0|#5|0|0|0|0

This is nothing but finding each occurrence of (#n) in the above string and replacing it by (#n+1). (i.e #1 is replaced by #2,#2 is replaced by #3).

SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Find Whether Exact String Is Present / Not In Given String

Mar 14, 2013

I'm facing some problem even after using INSTR function in Oracle.The problem is I have written the logic in the PL/SQL block which appends all the values fetched in a loop on the basis of whether the string is present or not.

For ex:

The first value fetched from the select query first is ABCDEFG which gets appended to a variable
The next value fetched is AB even this has to be appended to the variable since this exactly doesn't match with ABCDEFG.
The next value fetched is BCDEF even this has to be appended to the variable since this exactly doesn't match with ABCDEFG.
The third Value fetched is ABCDEFG this will not get appended presently according to the logic which is correct.

writing that piece of code to append the value fetched which doesn't exactly match with the existing string

SQL & PL/SQL :: Number Generation MINUS Number Used

Feb 19, 2011

Here is script of tables

Quote:drop table p;
create table p (qty number(3), beg_no number(5));
insert into p values(5, 110);
insert into p values(8, 786);

drop table s;

create table s (used_no number(5));
insert into s values(111);
insert into s values(113);
insert into s values(791);

Table p: it has ticket quantity and ticket begining number. Thus according to first record ticket number will begin at 110 and will end at 110+5 (Beg_no +qty). According to second record ticket number will begin at 786 and will end at 786+8 (Beg_no +qty). This table can have many records.

Table s: it has ticket numbers which are sold. The ticket will always be any number from table and will lay in any record in this format between beg_no and beg_no+qty

Required: I want "p MINUS s" information. i.e.

Quote:
110
112
114
786
787
788
789
790
792
793
