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...
i'm on apex.oracle.com creating a mobile application. When creating a new region of type report -> Listview it results in an error if the query is too big (or returns too many columns).The error is: Error during rendering of region "Add Javascript code for Plugins". ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
The query i used: SELECT * FROM APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_ITEMS

I have this requirement in Oracle FORMS ver 6i where I populate some records in a table in a datablock and display them on the screen. A facility needs to be provided to the end users to select the records randomly by just entering the count of the records in a non-d/b text field. The number entered in the count field will decide how many records are to be selected randomly.
I tried using the query -
UPDATE <table a> SET <col 1> = <value 1> WHERE rowid IN (SELECT rowid FROM (SELECT * FROM <table a> ORDER BY DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE) WHERE <col 2> = <value 2>) /
which I found on the link [URL] but while compiling, the Form gives a compilation error for the ORDER by clause - i'm sure there's no syntax error in the way I have written it...
I have a SQL statement that returns a set of columns...but...when I create table as <SQL statement> I get the same columns but with 2 of the columns containing each others data, e.g:
The SQL Select is correct and the Create Table As <SQL Select> is wrong.
Here is my SQL:
Create table ALTERNATENUMBERS as SELECT ctry, id, MAX(DECODE(tp,'EN', RN)) EN, MAX(DECODE(tp,'RN', RN)) RN, MAX(DECODE(tp,'AN', RN)) AN
[code]....
Unfortunately I cannot give you any data (too much of it) and small scale testing works, it's only when I run it on the 11million records do I get some (not all), just some of the data being mixed up between columns.
Now, I've tried:
1. Using SQLPLus - no joy
2. Creating the Table and then inserting the data into a blank table - also no joy
3. Using a VIEW - no joy, listagg doesn't work in VIEW tables
I do understand that without data it's hard to replicate the issue but why this statement works as a SELECT but when written to a table has data anomolies?
I have a PIVOT XML query that returns results that I want to display as an HTML report from SQLPlus. Is there a way that this can be done readily? I have searched the net an found references to XML Publisher but in my current situation we do not have the product available.
When I execute the query, it returns the data (approx - 40,000 rows) in 1 min.But when I try to insert this data into another table (or create a table of this data) it takes me about 2 hours.
Tried using Materialized view, its again the same the refresh takes 2 hours.Basically here, what I am trying to do is the data from the above query is used to update the values in another table.What ever the procedure I am trying it takes 2 hours.
I want to get 10 random numbers from existing 100 numbers. How can we get/generate random numbers ?
for example I have a table with customer ID, customer Name, having 100 record. We want 10 customers ID randomly from that 100 record not repeated any number. Have any command or procedure for that ?
i want that when i run above query every time bas_cod column should start with difference value. now it is starting from 1, i need when i run next time it should start with another number except 1,
i mean whenever i run above query,order of bas_cod must be change from last.
i have a parameter form where user will input from item to item and items within this range will be come as output , but i want an option to select the random items from the list, like i may not select all the items from 1 to 10 , but instead i want to pick or select randomly , i may opt for 1,3,4 and 7.
I wanted to create shift rota for the employees as per the below conditions.
1). Shift should be rotated.(it should check previous 2 shifts and assign to another shift).
2). The same employees should not be allocated for the next shift .
Ex : Now jones, jekku, henry and villiams are in "C" shift . So the same employees should not be allocated to the next shift, it should be random. Some of these employees should be allocated to "B" and some employees should allocated to "A" shift....
Below are the SQL statements to create the table and input the data..
alter table resource_details add constraint res_pk primary key(empno) ;
insert into resource_details values(51370 , 'Finney' , 'A') ; insert into resource_details values(51371, 'Jerry' , 'B') ; insert into resource_details values(51372, 'Jones' , 'C') ; insert into resource_details values(51373, 'Smith' , 'A') ; insert into resource_details values(51374, 'Krishna' , 'B') ; insert into resource_details values(51375,'Chenna','A');
[code]....
I have tried with employee number to check which shift he is/was in & assigned the shift accordingly , but here shift is getting rotated but not employees(same employees are going to the next shift, which should not be accepted..)
creating an sql script that can update info from one table in dbase1 to another table in dbase2 that has the same columns and if possible insert date and time in one column when the synchronized is done?
i need to copy data from certain table's from one DB to another at random intervals. Table structure for the one's getting copied can be same in both the DB.
After reading various posts here i have understood that it can be done using Oracle Replication and Oracle stream.
how these 2 methods work and how they are different from each other.
select null, '0-10' Days , count(*) from tableunionselect null, '11-20' Days, count(*) from tableunionselect null, '21-30' Days, count(*) from tableunionselect null, '>30' Days, count(*) from table
The 3d pie chart was showing the slices is the correct order 0-10, 11-20, 21-30, >30 but now shows it in random order. how to get the order by working. I suspect since the Days column in the select is a Character column this issue is occurring, however, with the restrictions in the number of select items we can have in the Apex charts, was wondering how do you get the order by working?
I need to generate random and unique 6 digit number in Oracle. I need to insert these numbers into a table. I tried using DBMS_RANDOM package, which generates random 6 digit numbers, but fails to generate UNIQUE numbers.
I am creating a table from another existing table in another schema. The existing table contains data. When I am using the query- create table m _voucher as select * from ipm.m_voucher,I am getting the whole data of m_voucher but I want empty m_voucher table, so what will be the query to get the empty m_voucher table?
Having trouble creating a trigger to populate another table.
The SQL:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "P_M_YES" AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE ON DOMAIN REFERENCING NEW AS NEW.P_M AND OLD AS OLD.P_M FOR EACH ROW WHEN (NEW.P_M = YES) BEGIN INSERT INTO PAGE_MAKER VALUES(:NEW.D_NAME, :NEW.USER_ID); END P_M_YES;
I'm creating a stored procedure where i get to return (OUT parameter) a cursor that points to a custom table. If I create an object, I could just do something like:
Quote: CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TmpObjType AS OBJECT (...); CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TmpObjTblType AS TABLE OF TmpObjType; PROCEDURE tmp_proc (..., out_param_resultset OUT g_cursor_type ) .... OPEN out_param_resultset FOR SELECT * FROM TABLE(CAST(tmpObjTbl AS TmpObjTblType)); ....
How do I return the table (referenced by a cursor) without creating objects?
