Ordering By Date
Jan 13, 2012
Been cruising all sorts of ways to order by. My last ditch effort my be to use the WITH clause, but I don't want to go there just yet...
Using Oracle 10G against a database that uses a COTS CHAR datatype schema against an in-house varchar2 datatype schema (hence all the trims you will see in there so I can get proper joins)
Here is my query in question. Beware it's somewhat eye-bleeding!
select * from (
SELECT
int.part "Part",
int.lot_nbr "Lot",
int.stkrm "Stkrm",
int.location "Location",
[Code]...
Now obviously no one would be able to run this... But here is an example of how this is spitting out the ordered by date:
31-Mar-2011 12:00:00 AM
31-Mar-2011 12:00:00 AM
31-Mar-2011 12:00:00 AM
28-Sep-2011 12:00:00 AM
[Code]...
It's like it's ordering it by the day only...

I have an Oracle query that I have built based on user input... user enters a description (multiple words) and I search for existing descriptions like it. For instance I may have a record like "My name is matt". Right now the query looks like
select * from table where
(field1 like '%My%' or
field1 like '%name%' or
field1 like '%is%' or
field1 like '%matt%');
There may be tons of records that have at least ONE of these, but I want to order by relevance, so a description "my name is bob" (3 words in common) will appear before "his name is not mine" (just 2 words in common).I have seen the SCORE() and CONTAINS() functions but not sure about multiple search criteria.

I need to return an ordered list of documents. The documents may belong to a set id (optional) and if so, are either a "master" or a "duplicate" type. For each set there can be only one master but many duplicates. My goal is to group all the sets together such that each master is proceeded by its duplicates.
Table description:
document_master_duplicates
(
documentid,
duplicate_setid,
is_master
)
This needs to join to another table briefcase_documents which contains our set of documents. The briefcase / document relationship is many-to-many.
Table description:
briefcase_documents
(
briefcaseid,
documentid
)
There's also a documents table containing the documentid and among other things a page_count. In the following example I want to sort the documents first by page count but preserving the master/dupe grouping. Any documents which don't belong to a set or are just a duplicate without a master i want at the end of my set but also ordered by page count.
Here's an example set that I would want to order by:
DocumentId Page_Count SetId Is_Master
2002 2 1 0
2003 20 2 0
2008 20 NULL NULL
2010 20 4 0
2012 1 4 1
2001 5 1 1
2004 16 3 1
2011 17 4 0
2014 10 5 0
2009 9 NULL NULL
As you can see I have a little bit of everything here. Docs 2001 and 2002 are the typical set of 1 master and its duplicate. Docs 2010, 2011, and 2012 is the same just a set of 3. Doc 2004 is a master but without any duplicates. Docs 2003 and 2014 are duplicates without a master (these docs have a master in the table but that doc isn't in the set i need to order by). Docs 2008 and 2009 do not belong to a set and as such do not have a master/dupe type.
The result i'm looking to achieve will be ordered as follows:
DocumentId Page_Count SetId Is_Master
2012 1 4 1
2011 17 4 0
2010 20 4 0
2001 5 1 1
2002 2 1 0
2004 16 3 1
2009 9 NULL NULL
2014 10 5 0
2003 20 2 0
2008 20 NULL NULL
As I said above I first want to get the groupings of master/dupes and order ascending on the masters page count. For each duplicate of a master I then want to order the duplicates by page count. After I finished ordering all the master/dupe groups I then want to move on to the rest of the documents which will contain documents that don't belong to a set along with documents which are duplicates but have no master in my set. However, documents which are masters but without duplicates should have been ordered along with the other master/dupes groupings.
With this all in mind I have just been completely overwhelmed as to where to even start. Am I using analytic functions? Hierarchical stuff?

I need to order the result set with different data types based on the input parameter.
select * from scott.emp sc order by decode('&input_parameter',1,sc.empno,2, sc.ename);
If the input_parameter is equals to 1 then,ordering should be based on EMPNO which is Number data type.
If the input_parameter is equals to 2 then,ordering should be based on ENAME which is Character Data type.
Above query was failed for input_parameter 2,as we know that decode should return same data type.

I have two Oracle instances that are setup identically.When I run a query on one of them, it takes around 3 seconds, on the other it takes around 200 seconds.
I have looked at the explain plans, and it has shown me what I think is the problem. On one instance, it does a join on two tables, then runs the other filter/access predicates. On the other instance it runs the filter/access predicated first, then does the expensice join. The one that does the join first is the one that takes around 200 seconds. How to tell Oracle to make this join after runnning the other predicates?

Using Application Express 4.2.1.00.08
Any problem using 4.2's One Level Tabs - Content Frame page where you have a parent region (of type content frame Body Container ) while number of child regions (of type Hide & Show Region - Borderless ), if you want to re-order them by changing the sequence, it has no effect when you run the page.
The regions still show in the same order top to bottom as it did before the update of sequences. Heading links (to show/hide child regons in content frames) has the same ordering as before.

I'm trying to work out how to take a table like this:
IDDate
12502-Feb-07
12516-Mar-07
12523-May-07
12524-May-07
12525-May-07
33302-Jan-09
33303-Jan-09
33304-Jan-09
33317-Mar-09
And display the data like this:
IDPeriodPeriod StartPeriod End
125102-Feb-0702-Feb-07
125216-Mar-0716-Mar-07
125323-May-0725-May-07
333102-Jan-0904-Jan-09
333217-Mar-0917-Mar-09
As you can see, it's split the entries into date ranges. If there is a 'lone' date, the 'period start' and the 'period end' are the same date.

Version : 4.1.1, I have a tabular form on a DB table. One of the columns is a date field. When the user hits the "add Row" button on the tabular form, I want the Date field to be defaulted to sysdate. Here is what I have tried so far,
1. Created a "hidden" item P1_SYSDATE and populated the default value with sysdate. After this, under the DB tabular report date field, I used default type - Item/application on this page and entered P1_sYSDATE
2. Instead of populating the default value of the P1_SYSDATE hidden item, I created a before regions process and added
:P1_SYSDATE := sysdate
and added P1_SYSDATE to default type of the tabular date field with default type as "ITem/application on this page.
I get the error
ORA-01790: expression must have same datatype as corresponding expression
I tried to_Char(sysdate,'dd-mon-yyyy') and then converting it back to to_date. still no luck.

When I run a query form the the Query Window in Visuial Studios 2012 all the date fields truncated to 'mm/dd/yyyy', but i need the full date returned. I am able to get full date from TO_char(MyDateField, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'), but if I do TO_DATE(MyDateField, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') it only returns 'mm/dd/yyyy'. I'm sure this is a simple setting in Visual studios but I cant find it to save my life. Is there there a way to have the full date returned by default?

Write a program to declare a date variable and assign it to the current system date. Depending on the day of the month the program should print the following:
If day is 1-10 then print "It is day<day number> of <month name>. It is early in the month".
If day is 11-20 then print "It is day<day number> of <month name>. It is the middle of the month".
If day is 21-31 then print "It is day<day number> of <month name>. It is nearly the end of the month".
For example, if the day is November 30, then print "It is day 30 of November. It is nearly the end of the month".

How can we partition a table based on date if it does not have a date column.
Actually I have to compare two tables on daily basis and fetch few rows from those two tables and enter it to a third table.But both these tables does not have a date column.
I am confused if i need to alter those tables and add date column or if there is some way in which i can compare the data from the two tables for that particular day only and not the whole table data.

I have a small prolem thats best described like this....
a table called TONY with a field named VISITED (date as YYYYMMDD).
We want to populate the field TIMESTAMP (Last visited timestamp, 18 digits) using midnight or 00:00:00 on VISITED value.
Something like:
UPDATE TONY SET TIMESTAMP = �(whatever the formula is involving VISITED).
but i cannot figure out the best way to derive the TIMESTAMP value...
it's a date to epoch conversion, and i can find many examples of Epoch to date, but thats the wrong way around for me i'm afraid!
Oracle 11gR2 by the way...

I need to convert the type of GMT to Local time, during data entry. I have a source table and a target table.
To make the insert get the most value, I have no problems:
insert into destination (SELECT * FROM WHERE source pointnumber = (SELECT MAX (pointnumber) FROM source));
But since times are different between the tables, I want to convert the data obtained to GMT -4:30 Time (Caracas - Venezuela), before inserting it.
I can use a function?

3 20120101 20120630
I want the query to resolve overlapping dates as well as merge contiguous segment and leave non-contiguous segments as is. The final result of the query should be like this.
key dte_start(number) dte_end(number)

3 20070101 20101231
3 20120101 20120630
I tried using the lead over partition along with the standard overlap query and case logic to get the results but couldn't get it to work.

However if I change the DT tag to just the date only "2013-02-17" it works. Why wont Oracle see the entire date/time format even if its ISO 8601 compliant?

The oracle table has the following fields,
A_ID, B_ID, CONSUMER_ID, U_DATE, ACTIVE_FLAG.
1 0 111 Jan-02-07 N
1 1 111 Feb-02-07 N
1 2 111 Mar-02-07 Y
1 3 111 Apr-02-07 Y
1 4 111 May-02-07 Y
1 1 222 Feb-06-07 N
1 1 222 Mar-06-07 N
1 1 222 Jun-06-07 Y
1 1 222 Jul-06-07 Y
The table has incorrect data. meaning for each consumer_id we want the ACTIVE_FLAG to be 'Y' only for it's latest record and the rest to be inactive. i.e. we want the data as follows:
A_ID, B_ID, CONSUMER_ID, U_DATE, ACTIVE_FLAG.
A_ID, B_ID, CONSUMER_ID, U_DATE, ACTIVE_FLAG.
1 0 111 Jan-02-07 N
