select * from table1 t1 where t1.column1 = 'someValue' and ((t1.column2 =1) OR (sysdate < select t1.DateColumn2 + t2.DateColumn2/1440
from
table2 t2 where t1.column3 = t2.column3));
if t1.column2 =1 evaluates to false, I want to check another condition if time t1.DateColumn2 + t2.DateColumn2 is < sysdate . Oracle is throwing syntax error near or condition. Cant sysdate be used directly like that? Not sure where I am going wrong. Thanks
If I am guessing your intention correctly, you want an exists clause
select *
from table1 t1
where t1.column1 = 'someValue'
and ( (t1.column2 =1)
OR exists( select 1
from table2 t2
where t2.column3 = t1.column3
and sysdate < t1.DateColumn2 + t2.DateColumn2/1440 ));
Or just join the two tables in the outer query assuming there is at most 1 row in t2 per t1 row (if there is exactly 1 row you should do an inner join rather than a left outer join)
select t1.*
from table1 t1
left outer join table2 t2
on( t1.column3 = t2.column3 )
where t1.column2 = 1
or sysdate < t1.DateColumn2 + t2.DateColumn2/1440;
I used some online converter to convert my view in MySQL to oracle and the result was this:
CREATE VIEW actor_info
AS
SELECT
a.actor_id,
a.first_name,
a.last_name,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT ||(c.name, ': ',
(SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(f.title FROM dual ORDER BY f.title SEPARATOR FROM dual ', ')
FROM film f
INNER JOIN film_category fc
ON f.film_id = fc.film_id
INNER JOIN film_actor fa
ON f.film_id = fa.film_id
WHERE fc.category_id = c.category_id
AND fa.actor_id = a.actor_id
)
)
ORDER BY c.name SEPARATOR '; ')
AS film_info
FROM actor a
LEFT JOIN film_actor fa
ON a.actor_id = fa.actor_id
LEFT JOIN film_category fc
ON fa.film_id = fc.film_id
LEFT JOIN category c
ON fc.category_id = c.category_id
GROUP BY a.actor_id, a.first_name, a.last_name;
The converter didn't convert too well so I had to modify the query and end up with something like this:
CREATE VIEW actor_info
AS
SELECT
a.actor_id,
a.first_name,
LISTAGG(c.name || ': ',
(SELECT LISTAGG(f.title, ', ') within group (order by f.title)
FROM film f
INNER JOIN film_category fc
ON f.film_id = fc.film_id
INNER JOIN film_actor fa
ON f.film_id = fa.film_id
WHERE fc.category_id = c.category_id
AND fa.actor_id = a.actor_id
)
) WITHIN group (order by c.name)
AS film_info
FROM actor a
LEFT JOIN film_actor fa
ON a.actor_id = fa.actor_id
LEFT JOIN film_category fc
ON fa.film_id = fc.film_id
LEFT JOIN category c
ON fc.category_id = c.category_id
GROUP BY a.actor_id, a.first_name, a.last_name, c.name;
But I'm still getting multiple errors like I can't use distinct in the first listagg or that argument should be a constant or a function of expression in GROUP BY. I'm out of ideas to try to solve this, any suggestions on what the error is or another way to do this view?
Oracle's listagg() doesn't support distinct internally, which is a bit of a pain. The other error you're getting, ORA-30497, is because you've accidneally mad ethe second listagg() call the delmiter for the first one.
It's a little hard to tell without sample data and expected resulsts, but it appears you're looking for something like:
SELECT a.actor_id, a.first_name, a.last_name,
LISTAGG(c.name || ': ' || (
SELECT LISTAGG(f.title, ', ') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY f.title)
FROM film f
INNER JOIN film_actor fa
ON fa.film_id = f.film_id
INNER JOIN film_category fc
ON f.film_id = fc.film_id
WHERE fc.category_id = c.category_id -- from main query
AND fa.actor_id = a.actor_id -- from main query
), '; ') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY c.name)
AS film_info
FROM actor a
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT DISTINCT fa.actor_id, c.category_id, c.name
FROM film_actor fa
LEFT JOIN film_category fc
ON fc.film_id = fa.film_id
LEFT JOIN category c
ON c.category_id = fc.category_id
) c
ON c.actor_id = a.actor_id
GROUP BY a.actor_id, a.first_name, a.last_name;
The 'distinct' part is achieved with the inline view, and the inner listagg then only needs to find all films for that category/actor.
I have 2 CTE.When i try to join them i get an error message "ORA-01789: ".how can i merge the 2 CTE.Is there any other way to get the desired result?
WITH IMPORT_CTE

GROUP BY POD_ID,CONFLICTED_POD_ID,ERROR_CODE
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1) B
on A.POD_ID = B.POD_ID AND A.CONFLICTED_POD_ID = B.CONFLICTED_POD_ID AND A.ERROR_CODE = B.ERROR_CODE ) order by a.pod_id desc)
select t1.*

You've got an extra set of parentheses in each of your queries. The first one should apparently be:
WITH IMPORT_CTE AS
(select A.*
FROM IMPORT_REGISTRY_ERROR_LOG_1 A
INNER JOIN (select distinct POD_ID,CONFLICTED_POD_ID,ERROR_CODE
FROM IMPORT_REGISTRY_ERROR_LOG_1
GROUP BY POD_ID,CONFLICTED_POD_ID,ERROR_CODE
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1) B
on A.POD_ID = B.POD_ID AND
A.CONFLICTED_POD_ID = B.CONFLICTED_POD_ID AND
A.ERROR_CODE = B.ERROR_CODE
order by a.pod_id desc)
select t1.*
from IMPORT_CTE t1
where t1.insert_date = (select max(t2.insert_date)
from IMPORT_CTE t2
where t2.POD_ID = t1.POD_ID)
The second one has a similar problem.
Best of luck.
I'm trying to use the LAG function in Oracle to find the previous registration value for donors.
To see my data, I started with this query to find all registrations for the particular donor:
select registration_id, registration_date from registration r where r.person_id=52503290 order by r.registration_date desc;
Then I used the LAG function to return the previous value along with the most recent value:
select registration_id as reg_id, registration_date as reg_date,
lag(registration_date,1) over (order by registration_date) as prev_reg_date
from registration
where person_id=52503290
order by registration_date desc;
And the results are as expected:
So I thought I should be good to place the LAG function within the main query to get the previous value but for some reason, the previous value returns NULL or no value at all.
SELECT
P.Person_Id AS Person_ID,
R.Registration_Date AS Drive_Date,
LAG(R.Registration_Date,1) OVER (ORDER BY R.REGISTRATION_DATE) AS Previous_Drive_Date,
P.Abo AS Blood_Type,
DT.Description AS Donation_Type
FROM
Person P
JOIN Registration R ON P.Person_Id = R.Person_Id AND P.First_Name <> 'Pooled' AND P.First_Name <> 'IMPORT'
LEFT OUTER JOIN Drives DR ON R.Drive_Id = DR.Drive_Id AND DR.Group_Id <> 24999
LEFT OUTER JOIN Branches B ON R.Branch_Id = B.Branch_Id
LEFT OUTER JOIN Donor_Group DG on DR.Group_Id = DG.Group_Id
LEFT OUTER JOIN Donation_Type DT ON R.Donation_Type_Id = DT.DONATION_TYPE_ID
WHERE
TRUNC(R.Registration_Date) = TRUNC(SYSDATE)-1
AND R.Person_Id=52503290
ORDER BY
R.Registration_Date DESC;
Here is the result set:
Any suggestions on what I am missing here? Or why this query isn't returning the values expected?
Based on #Alex Poole's suggestions, I changed the query to look like:
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT
P.Person_Id AS Person_ID,
R.Registration_Date AS Drive_Date,
LAG(R.Registration_Date,1) OVER (partition by p.person_id ORDER BY r.registration_date) AS Previous_Drive_Date,
P.Abo AS Blood_Type,
DT.Description AS Donation_Type
FROM
Person P
JOIN Registration R ON P.Person_Id = R.Person_Id AND P.First_Name <> 'Pooled' AND P.First_Name <> 'IMPORT'
LEFT OUTER JOIN Drives DR ON R.Drive_Id = DR.Drive_Id AND DR.Group_Id <> 24999
LEFT OUTER JOIN Branches B ON R.Branch_Id = B.Branch_Id
LEFT OUTER JOIN Donor_Group DG on DR.Group_Id = DG.Group_Id
LEFT OUTER JOIN Donation_Type DT ON R.Donation_Type_Id = DT.DONATION_TYPE_ID
--WHERE R.Person_Id=52503290
)
WHERE TRUNC(Drive_Date) = TRUNC(SYSDATE)-1
ORDER BY Drive_Date DESC;
It takes about 85 seconds to pull back the first 30 rows:
My original query (before the LAG function was added) took about 2 seconds to pull back approximately 2100 records. But it was nothing but a SELECT with a couple of JOINS and one item in the WHERE clause.
Looking at the record counts, Person has almost 5.5 million records and Registration has 9.1 million records.
The lag is only applied within the rows that match the where clause filter, so you would only see the previous value if that was also yesterday.
You can apply the lag in a subquery, and then filter in an outer query:
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT
P.Person_Id AS Person_ID,
R.Registration_Date AS Drive_Date,
LAG(R.Registration_Date,1) OVER (ORDER BY R.REGISTRATION_DATE) AS Previous_Drive_Date,
P.Abo AS Blood_Type,
DT.Description AS Donation_Type
FROM
Person P
JOIN Registration R ON P.Person_Id = R.Person_Id AND P.First_Name <> 'Pooled' AND P.First_Name <> 'IMPORT'
LEFT OUTER JOIN Drives DR ON R.Drive_Id = DR.Drive_Id AND DR.Group_Id <> 24999
LEFT OUTER JOIN Branches B ON R.Branch_Id = B.Branch_Id
LEFT OUTER JOIN Donor_Group DG on DR.Group_Id = DG.Group_Id
LEFT OUTER JOIN Donation_Type DT ON R.Donation_Type_Id = DT.DONATION_TYPE_ID
WHERE R.Person_Id=52503290
)
WHERE TRUNC(Drive_Date) = TRUNC(SYSDATE)-1
ORDER BY Drive_Date DESC;
I'd like to know why INNER JOINs are generated instead of LEFT and why the whole view is selected before join instead of just adding LEFT JOIN view.
I'm trying to post a table of information which is spread out over several tables. Basically I want to search by the date and return all the information for events happening today, yesterday, this month - whatever the user selects. The query is quite long. I added DefaultIfEmpty to all the tables except the main one in an attempt to get LEFT JOINs but it just made a mess.
using (TransitEntities t = new TransitEntities())
{
var charters = from c in t.tblCharters
join v in t.tblChartVehicles.DefaultIfEmpty()
on c.Veh
equals v.ChartVehID
join n in t.tblNACharters.DefaultIfEmpty()
on c.Dpt.Substring(c.Dpt.Length - 1)
equals SqlFunctions.StringConvert((double)n.NAID)
join r in t.tblChartReqs.DefaultIfEmpty()
on c.ChartReqID
equals r.ChartReqID
join f in t.tblCharterCustomers.DefaultIfEmpty()
on c.Dpt
equals (f.DptID == "NONAFF" ? SqlFunctions.StringConvert((double)f.CustID) : f.DptID)
join d in t.tblChartReqDocs.DefaultIfEmpty()
on c.Attach
equals SqlFunctions.StringConvert((double)d.DocID)
join s in t.tblChartSupAttaches.DefaultIfEmpty()
on c.SupAttach
equals SqlFunctions.StringConvert((double)s.DocID)
join p in (from e in t.v_EmpData select new {e.UIN, e.First, e.Last}).DefaultIfEmpty()
on c.TakenUIN
equals p.UIN
where c.BeginTime > EntityFunctions.AddYears(DateTime.Now,-1)
select new
{
ChartID = c.ChartID,
Status = c.Status,
...
Website = r.Website,
};
//select today's events
gvCharters.DataSource = charters.Where(row => (row.BeginTime.Value >= midnight && row.BeginTime.Value < midnight1));

LEFT JOIN tblNACharter n ON CAST(n.NAID AS varchar) = RIGHT(c.Dpt, LEN(c.Dpt)-1)
LEFT JOIN tblChartReq r
ON r.ChartReqID = c.ChartReqID
WHERE CONVERT(datetime,CONVERT(char(10),c.BeginTime,101)) = (SELECT TOP 1 CONVERT(datetime,CONVERT(char(10),BeginTime,101)) from tblChartersNew WHERE CONVERT(datetime,CONVERT(char(10),BeginTime,101)) >= CONVERT(datetime,CONVERT(char(10),GETDATE(),101)) ORDER BY BeginTime)
AND NOT c.ChartReqID IS NULL
ORDER BY BeginTime, ISNULL(f.Dpt,c.Dpt)
I also add a Select New on the view to avoid selecting all of the columns when I only need three but it didn't seem to make a difference. Instead of adding LEFT JOIN v_EmpData it adds LEFT OUTER JOIN and then selects all of the columns in the view. It seems to be ignoring the Select New.
I'd really like to transition to using Linq to Entities for the majority of my queries because intellisense makes it so much easier to make sure it's right and to have variations of queries without having to have separate functions for each but maybe I need to stick with plain old SQL. I know just enough to make a big mess. Any suggestions?
For complex queries like what you need.
I would suggest looking into FunctionImport.
MSDN Function Import
This would save you the headache of creating a LINQ that would be 1:1 to your expected generated SQL.
