Oracle update invalid identifier on Update - oracle

I get an 'invalid identifier' exception when I run the next script.
As I have seen on this link it should work.
It cannot reference to the 'a2' table under the secound selection, but it should update the row with the related value.
update auto a2 set uuid =
(select uuid from (
select c.uuid, c.pk from color c
join sit s on s.pk = c.sit_fk
--where s.auto_fk = auto.pk
join auto m on m.pk = s.auto_fk
where m.pk = a2.pk
group by c.pk, c.uuid
order by c.pk desc
)
where rownum = 1)

Reference the a2 alias in the outer level of the correlated query, rather than the nested level.
SQL Fiddle
Oracle 11g R2 Schema Setup:
CREATE TABLE auto ( pk, uuid ) AS
SELECT 1, 1 FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 2 FROM DUAL;
CREATE TABLE color ( pk, uuid, sit_fk ) AS
SELECT 1, 2, 1 FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 1, 2 FROM DUAL;
CREATE TABLE sit ( pk, auto_fk ) AS
SELECT 1, 1 FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 2 FROM DUAL;
Query 1:
update auto a2 set uuid =
(select uuid from (
select c.uuid, c.pk, m.pk AS apk from color c
join sit s on s.pk = c.sit_fk
--where s.auto_fk = auto.pk
join auto m on m.pk = s.auto_fk
group by m.pk, c.pk, c.uuid
order by m.pk, c.pk desc
)
where rownum = 1
and a2.pk = apk
)
Results:
Query 2:
SELECT *
FROM auto
Results:
| PK | UUID |
|----|------|
| 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 1 |

ORACLE - How to use LAG to display strings from all previous rows into current row

I have data like below:
group
seq
activity
A
1
scan
A
2
visit
A
3
pay
B
1
drink
B
2
rest
I expect to have 1 new column "hist" like below:
group
seq
activity
hist
A
1
scan
NULL
A
2
visit
scan
A
3
pay
scan, visit
B
1
drink
NULL
B
2
rest
drink
I was trying to solve with LAG function, but LAG only returns one row from previous instead of multiple.
Truly appreciate any help!
Use a correlated sub-query:
SELECT t.*,
(SELECT LISTAGG(activity, ',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY seq)
FROM table_name l
WHERE t."GROUP" = l."GROUP"
AND l.seq < t.seq
) AS hist
FROM table_name t
Or a hierarchical query:
SELECT t.*,
SUBSTR(SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(PRIOR activity, ','), 3) AS hist
FROM table_name t
START WITH seq = 1
CONNECT BY
PRIOR seq + 1 = seq
AND PRIOR "GROUP" = "GROUP"
Or a recursive sub-query factoring clause:
WITH rsqfc ("GROUP", seq, activity, hist) AS (
SELECT "GROUP", seq, activity, NULL
FROM table_name
WHERE seq = 1
UNION ALL
SELECT t."GROUP", t.seq, t.activity, r.hist || ',' || r.activity
FROM rsqfc r
INNER JOIN table_name t
ON (r."GROUP" = t."GROUP" AND r.seq + 1 = t.seq)
)
SEARCH DEPTH FIRST BY "GROUP" SET order_rn
SELECT "GROUP", seq, activity, SUBSTR(hist, 2) AS hist
FROM rsqfc
Which, for the sample data:
CREATE TABLE table_name ("GROUP", seq, activity) AS
SELECT 'A', 1, 'scan' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 'A', 2, 'visit' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 'A', 3, 'pay' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 'B', 1, 'drink' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 'B', 2, 'rest' FROM DUAL;
All output:
GROUP
SEQ
ACTIVITY
HIST
A
1
scan
null
A
2
visit
scan
A
3
pay
scan,visit
B
1
drink
null
B
2
rest
drink

To aggregate strings in Oracle we use LISAGG function.
In general, you need a windowing_clause to specify a sliding window for analytic function to calculate running total.
But unfortunately LISTAGG doesn't support it.
To simulate this behaviour you may use model_clause of the select statement. Below is an example with explanation.
select
group_
, activity
, seq
, hist
from t
model
/*Where to restart calculation*/
partition by (group_)
/*Add consecutive numbers to reference "previous" row per group.
May use "seq" column if its values are consecutive*/
dimension by (
row_number() over(
partition by group_
order by seq asc
) as rn
)
measures (
/*Other columnns to return*/
activity
, cast(null as varchar2(1000)) as hist
, seq
)
rules update (
/*Apply this rule sequentially*/
hist[any] order by rn asc =
/*Previous concatenated result*/
hist[cv()-1]
/*Plus comma for the third row and tne next rows*/
|| presentv(activity[cv()-2], ',', '') /**/
/*lus previous row's value*/
|| activity[cv()-1]
)
GROUP_ | ACTIVITY | SEQ | HIST
:----- | :------- | --: | :---------
A | scan | 1 | null
A | visit | 2 | scan
A | pay | 3 | scan,visit
B | drink | 1 | null
B | rest | 2 | drink

Few more variants (without subqueries):

Query to join Oracle tables

I have a 'MASTER' table as shown below:
Entity Cat1 Cat2
A Mary;Steve Jacob
B Alex;John Sally;Andrew
Another table 'PERSON' has associations of person's name (this could be InfoID as well) with emails.
Name Email InfoID
Mary maryD#gmail.com mryD
Steve steveR#gmail.com stvR
Jacob jacobB#gmail.com jacbb
Sally sallyD#gmail.com sallD
Alex AlexT#gmail.com alexT
John JohnP#gmail.com johP
Andrew AndrewV#gmail.com andV
I want to join the person table with master such as:
Entity Cat1 EmailCat1 Cat2 EmailCat2
A Mary;Steve maryD#gmail.com;steveR#gmail.com Jacob jacobB#gmail.com
B Alex;John AlexT#gmail.com;JohnP#gmail.com Sally;Andrew sallyD#gmail.com;AndrewV#gmail.com
any insights on how to go about it?
Honestly, your master table design needs to be normalized. But, in the meantime you could try this query below :
with
needed_rows_for_cat1_tab (lvl) as (
select level from dual
connect by level <= (select max(regexp_count(Cat1, ';')) from Your_bad_master_tab) + 1
)
, needed_rows_for_cat2_tab (lvl) as (
select level from dual
connect by level <= (select max(regexp_count(Cat2, ';')) from Your_bad_master_tab) + 1
)
, split_cat1_val_tab as (
select Entity, Cat1
, substr(Cat1||';'
, lag(pos, 1, 0)over(partition by Entity order by lvl) + 1
, pos - lag(pos, 1, 0)over(partition by Entity order by lvl) - 1
) val
, lvl
, pos
, 1 cat
from (
select Entity, Cat1, instr(Cat1||';', ';', 1, r1.lvl)pos, r1.lvl
from Your_bad_master_tab c1
join needed_rows_for_cat1_tab r1 on r1.lvl <= regexp_count(Cat1, ';') + 1
)
)
, split_cat2_val_tab as (
select Entity, Cat2
, substr(Cat2||';'
, lag(pos, 1, 0)over(partition by Entity order by lvl) + 1
, pos - lag(pos, 1, 0)over(partition by Entity order by lvl) - 1
) val
, lvl
, pos
, 2 cat
from (
select Entity, Cat2, instr(Cat2||';', ';', 1, r2.lvl)pos, r2.lvl
from Your_bad_master_tab c1
join needed_rows_for_cat2_tab r2 on r2.lvl <= regexp_count(Cat2, ';') + 1
)
)
select ENTITY
, max(decode(cat, 1, CAT1, null)) CAT1
, listagg(decode(cat, 1, EMAIL, null), ';')within group (order by lvl) EmailCat1
, max(decode(cat, 2, CAT1, null)) CAT2
, listagg(decode(cat, 2, EMAIL, null), ';')within group (order by lvl) EmailCat2
from (
select c.*, p.Email
from split_cat1_val_tab c join Your_person_tab p on (c.val = p.name)
union all
select c.*, p.Email
from split_cat2_val_tab c join Your_person_tab p on (c.val = p.name)
)
group by ENTITY
;
Here are your sample data
--drop table Your_bad_master_tab purge;
create table Your_bad_master_tab (Entity, Cat1, Cat2) as
select 'A', 'Mary;Steve', 'Jacob' from dual union all
select 'B', 'Alex;John', 'Sally;Andrew' from dual
;
--drop table Your_person_tab purge;
create table Your_person_tab (Name, Email, InfoID) as
select 'Mary', 'maryD#gmail.com' ,'mryD' from dual union all
select 'Steve', 'steveR#gmail.com' ,'stvR' from dual union all
select 'Jacob', 'jacobB#gmail.com' ,'jacbb' from dual union all
select 'Sally', 'sallyD#gmail.com' ,'sallD' from dual union all
select 'Alex', 'AlexT#gmail.com' ,'alexT' from dual union all
select 'John', 'JohnP#gmail.com' ,'johP' from dual union all
select 'Andrew', 'AndrewV#gmail.com' ,'andV' from dual

Oracle hierarchical query - combine results

Given a table:
Old_ID New_ID
A B
B C
Multiple ID changes can form a chain A -> B -> C. I can do a hierarchical query.
SELECT Old_ID, New_ID from mytable
CONNECT BY PRIOR New_ID = Old_ID
Since C is the valid new ID for both A and B, the result I'd like to get is:
Old_ID New_ID
A C
B C
So map all old IDs to the latest new ID in the chain.
Use a combination of CONNECT_BY_ROOT( old_id ), to get the start of the hierarchy, and WHERE CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF = 1, to find the last item in the hierarchy:
SQL Fiddle
Oracle 11g R2 Schema Setup:
CREATE TABLE your_table( Old_ID, New_ID ) As
SELECT 'A', 'B' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 'B', 'C' FROM DUAL;
Query 1:
SELECT CONNECT_BY_ROOT( old_id ) AS old_id,
new_id
FROM your_table
WHERE CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF = 1
CONNECT BY PRIOR New_ID = Old_id
Results:
| OLD_ID | NEW_ID |
|--------|--------|
| A | C |
| B | C |

Delete Oracle with join tables

I have a table that has three columns ( primary key) and I need a delete sentece that allows me to remove the elements I don't need , using a join with the this table and other table, I've tried two delete sentences but they are not working as expected:
First One: This one gets the values I dont need and they are removed from table A, but the issue here is it deletes the values from Table B and C too and those rows can't be removed
DELETE
FROM
(SELECT A.*
FROM TABLE_A A
JOIN TABLE_B B
ON A.CODE =B.CODE
JOIN TABLE_C C
ON B.PRODUCT =C.PRODUCT
WHERE B.VALUE >10000
AND C.RANGE NOT IN (4006, 4005, 4004, 4003, 4002, 4001)
);
**Second One:**The problem with this one is that it removes all the rows from table A, but if I test the query ( select) it returns 5 rows, the ones that should be removed.
DELETE
FROM A WHERE EXIST
(SELECT A.*
FROM TABLE_A A
JOIN TABLE_B B
ON A.CODE =B.CODE
JOIN TABLE_C C
ON B.PRODUCT =C.PRODUCT
WHERE B.VALUE >10000
AND C.RANGE NOT IN (4006, 4005, 4004, 4003, 4002, 4001)
);
So has anyone any idea of what I could be doing wrong?
The first one will delete matched rows across the joins, the second one will delete all rows when there EXISTS any one matched row as you are not correlating the deleted rows to the sub-query.
You can perform this correlation using the ROWID pseudo-column:
SQL Fiddle
Oracle 11g R2 Schema Setup:
CREATE TABLE table_a ( id, code ) AS
SELECT 1, 1 FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 2 FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 3, 3 FROM DUAL;
CREATE TABLE table_b ( id, code, product, value ) AS
SELECT 1, 1, 1, 10001 FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 2, 2, 10001 FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 3, 3, 1, 9999 FROM DUAL;
CREATE TABLE table_c ( id, product, range ) AS
SELECT 1, 1, 1001 FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 2, 4001 FROM DUAL;
DELETE
FROM table_A
WHERE ROWID IN (
SELECT A.ROWID
FROM TABLE_A A
JOIN TABLE_B B
ON A.CODE = B.CODE
JOIN TABLE_C C
ON B.PRODUCT = C.PRODUCT
WHERE B.VALUE >10000
AND C.RANGE NOT IN (4006, 4005, 4004, 4003, 4002, 4001)
);
Query 1:
SELECT * FROM table_a
Results:
| ID | CODE |
|----|------|
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 |
Query 2:
SELECT * FROM table_b
Results:
| ID | CODE | PRODUCT | VALUE |
|----|------|---------|-------|
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 10001 |
| 2 | 2 | 2 | 10001 |
| 3 | 3 | 1 | 9999 |
Query 3:
SELECT * FROM table_c
Results:
| ID | PRODUCT | RANGE |
|----|---------|-------|
| 1 | 1 | 1001 |
| 2 | 2 | 4001 |

updating two column from select statement?

I am trying to update two columns from select statement, but I am getting error message that says
ORA-00927: missing equal sign
Please, can anyone tell me why ?
UPDATE table1 a
SET co1 ,co2 = (SELECT COUNT (*),
sum(cost)/4
FROM table2 b
WHERE a.customer_id = b.cust_info_customer_id
AND tariff_info = 2);
Since you didn't provide any input:
create table table1(
co1 number,
co2 number,
customer_id number
)
insert into table1 values (1,1, 1)
select * from table1
CO1 CO2 CUSTOMER_ID
-------------------
1 1 1
UPDATE table1 a
SET co1 = (
with table2 as (
select level cost, 1 cust_info_customer_id from dual connect by rownum < 5
)
SELECT COUNT (*)
FROM table2 b
WHERE a.customer_id = b.cust_info_customer_id
)
, co2 = (
with table2 as (
select level cost, 1 cust_info_customer_id from dual connect by rownum < 5
)
SELECT sum(cost)/4
FROM table2 b
WHERE a.customer_id = b.cust_info_customer_id
)
select * from table1
CO1 CO2 CUSTOMER_ID
-------------------
4 2.5 1
