Would love to get some help here understanding an unexpected behavior with an Oracle SELECT query. And maybe there is a nicer way to construct my query.
Basically, this is the query that gets me the distinct set of IDs that I'm after:
select distinct(c.LOCATIONID) from COURSESESSION c where c.MARKETID=280 and c.STATUSID in(1, 2)
and c.COURSESESSIONID not in (SELECT distinct(REGISTRATION.COURSESESSIONID) FROM REGISTRATION)
But I also want all the data for these distinct IDs form COURSESESSION table, so I'm wrapping the above query in yet another select statement, so it looks like this:
select * from COURSESESSION cs where cs.COURSESESSIONID in
(select distinct(c.LOCATIONID) from COURSESESSION c where c.MARKETID=280 and c.STATUSID in(1, 2)
and c.COURSESESSIONID not in (SELECT distinct(REGISTRATION.COURSESESSIONID) FROM REGISTRATION));
The first query returns a set of 21 records, but the second set returns 19, so I'm pretty sure I'm not doing this right. The triple-select query is basically for these 2 steps:
Set idsSet = select distinct(c.LOCATIONID) from COURSESESSION c where c.MARKETID=280 and c.STATUSID in(1, 2)
and c.COURSESESSIONID not in (SELECT distinct(REGISTRATION.COURSESESSIONID) FROM REGISTRATION)
select * from COURSESESSION cs where cs.COURSESESSIONID in(idsSet);
Anyone knows how to fix my triple-select query?

I want to retrieve users name and there responsibility_key where there end_date is null and i want to convert it to (sysdate+1) using nvl but i am only able to retrieve the responsibility_key not the name please help.
The error in the image says "column ambiguously defined". Take a close look. Your last END_DATE could refer to either the u alias or the table from the subquery. Change it to match the rest of your subquery (FIND_USER_GROUPS_DIRECT.END_DATE)
EDIT
Your query is
select u.USER_NAME, d.responsibility_key from FND_USER u,FND_RESPONSIBILITY_VL d
where responsibility_id in(
select responsibility_id from
FND_USER_RESP_GROUPS_DIRECT WHERE END_USER_RESP_GROUPS_DIRECT.END_DATE=nvl(END_DATE,sysdate+1)) and
u.END_DATE=nvl(END_DATE,SYSDATE + 1)
;
The query isn't formatted, which makes it hard to read.
Not all columns are qualified with table name (or aliases), as mentioned in the comments.
The query currently uses an implicit join.
The query is impossible to understand without seeing the table definitions (desc [table_name]).
For points 1 and 2, a properly formatted query will look something like
select u.user_name, d.responsibility_key
from
fnd_user u,
fnd_responsibility_vl d
where
d.responsibility_id in (
select urgd.responsibility_id
from
fnd_user_resp_groups_direct urgd
where
urgd.end_date = nvl(u.end_date, sysdate+1)
) and
u.end_date = nvl(urgd.end_date, sysdate + 1)
;
This makes it easier to read and in addition to this, you can see that without table definitions I guessed (see point 4) as to which tables the end_date column belongs in your query. If I had to guess, so does Oracle. That means you have an ambiguity problem. To fix it, take a close look at the end_date column as it appears in your original query and where you do not prefix it with anything, you need to prefix it with the appropriate alias (after you have aliased all your tables).
For point 3, you can write your query more clearly with an explicit join and by using aliases for all columns. As for the explicit join I have no idea what your tables look like but one possibility is something like
select u.user_name, d.responsibility_key
from fnd_user u
join fnd_responsibility_vl d
on u.id = d.user_id
where
d.responsibility_id in (
select responsibility_id
from fnd_user_resp_groups_direct urgd
where
urgd.end_date = nvl(u.end_date, sysdate+1)
) and
u.end_date = nvl(urgd.end_date, sysdate+1)
;
If you follow these points you will get to the root of the error.
I have an oracle query that uses a created table as part of the code. Every time I need to run a report I delete current data and import the new data I receive. This is one column of id's. I need to create a report on SSRS in which the user can input this data into said table as a parameter. I have designed a simple report that they can enter some of the id's into a parameter, but there may be times when they need to enter in a few thousand id's, and the report already runs long. Here is what the SSRS code currently says:
select distinct n.id, n.notes
from notes n
join (
select max(seq_num) as seqnum, id from notes group by id) maxresults
on n.id = maxresults.ID
where n.seq_num = maxresults.seqnum
and n.id in (#MyParam)
Is there a way to have MyParam insert data into a table I would join called My_ID, joining as Join My_Id id on n.id = id.id
I do not have permissions to create functions or procedures in the database.
Thank you
You may try the trick with MATERIALIZE hint which normally forces Oracle to create a temporary table :
WITH cte1 AS
( SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ 1 as id FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 DUAL
)
SELECT a.*
FROM table1 a
INNER JOIN cte1 b ON b.id = a.id
I 've got this problem:
I have a select statement, which is rather time consuming.
I have to join the result with itself.
I want to do something like this:
Select table1.*, table2.Consumption
from (heavy select statement) table1 left outer join
(same heavy statement) table2
on table1."id" = table2."id" and table1."Year" -1 = table2."Year"
I don't want to catch the same data 2 times. I would rather like to do something like table1 table2. Is this possible?
I need this for an application, which executes querys but isn't able to use create or something like this, otherwise i would store the data in a table.
You can use a common table expression (CTE) and materialize the results of the heavy select statement:
WITH heavy AS ( SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ ... (heavy select statemenet) )
Select table1.*, table2.Consumption
from heavy table1 left outer join
heavy table2
on table1."id" = table2."id" and table1."Year" -1 = table2."Year"
I have an issue with using Oracle's union and order by clauses together.
I have two complex queries (with sub queries in them) having an order by clause for each of them. I need to union the output of both and return the result. When I run it, I am getting the error ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended.
But it works when I comment out the order by clauses in both of them.
To test this, I created a simple query as simple as shown below
select * from employee where employee_id=2 order by name
union
select * from employee where employee_id=3 order by name;
Even this gave the same error when ran with order by clauses but runs well when I commentout the order by clauses.
I tried searching forums, but I could not get solution for the exact problem. I found one at ORACLE Query with ORDER BY and UNION but As my queries are already too complecated because of subqueries and joins between too many tables, I dont want to implement this.
Can someone help me on fixing the root cause of the issue.
try this code:
select e1.name name /* e1.* */
from employee e1
where employee_id = 2
union
select
e2.name name /* e2.* */
from employee e2
where employee_id = 3
order by name;
if you want to order the result of first query then to order the result the second query so you can do like this:
select 1 query, e1.name name /* e1.* */
from employee e1
where employee_id = 2
union
select
2 query, e2.name name /* e2.* */
from employee e2
where employee_id = 3
order by query, name;
You can have only one ORDER BY when combining multiple queries, on the last statement. The ORDER BY clause acts on the entire set.
See the Oracle Documentation:
You cannot specify the order_by_clause in the subquery of these operators.
If you want order by in each query you must wrap it in other select as a subquery:
select * from (select * from employee where employee_id=2 order by name)
union
select * from (select * from employee where employee_id=3 order by name);
I have a query that used XML input to generate a XML table, I give that table an alias "XMLalias". How can I query this table in some other select statement, which is part of same batch.
I want to do something like " select * from XMLalias ".
I am new to oracle so please excuse if this is something really simple.
thanks.
im not sure what you need exactly as i figure what you want is one of this two:
select * from
(select * from XMLalias ) insider
where insider.col1 /*.....*/
Or you wanted someting like that
select *
from XMLalias a,
XMLalias b
where a.key_col=b.other_key_col
and a.col1 = /*...... */
and b.col2 = /*...... */
