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.

In one of my use case, i have two tables namely flow and conf. The flow table contains list of all flight data. It has columns creationdate,datafilename,aircraftid. The conf table contains configuration information. It has columns configdate, aircraftid, configurationame. There are multiple versions of configurations created for one aircraft type. So, when we process a datafilename, we need to identify the aircraftid from the flow table, and pick up the configuration from conf table that was created just before the datafilename was created. So, i tried this,
FROM (
SELECT
F_FILE_CREATION_DATE,
F_FILE_ARCHIVED_RELATIVE_PATH,
F_FILE_ARCHIVED_NAME,
K_AIRCRAFT
from T_FLOW f )x left join
(
select c.config_date, c.aircraft_id, c.configurationfrom t_conf c
) y on y.aircraft_id = x.K_AIRCRAFT
select
x.F_FILE_CREATION_DATE,
x.F_FILE_ARCHIVED_RELATIVE_PATH,
x.F_FILE_ARCHIVED_NAME,
x.K_AIRCRAFT,
y.config_date,
y.aircraft_id,
y.configuration;
This picks up all the configurations created for the aircraft which is obvious as there is no condition to check conf.config_date < flow.f_file_creation_date. I tried to include this condition like this,
FROM (
SELECT
F_FILE_CREATION_DATE,
F_FILE_ARCHIVED_RELATIVE_PATH,
F_FILE_ARCHIVED_NAME,
K_AIRCRAFT
from T_FLOW f )x join
(
select c.config_date, c.aircraft_id, c.FILEFILTER from t_conf c
) y on y.aircraft_id = x.K_AIRCRAFT where y.config_date < x.f_file_creation_date
select
x.F_FILE_CREATION_DATE,
x.F_FILE_ARCHIVED_RELATIVE_PATH,
x.F_FILE_ARCHIVED_NAME,
x.K_AIRCRAFT,
y.config_date,
y.aircraft_id,
y.filefilter;
This time failed with the error
required (...)+ loop did not match anything at input 'where' in statement
Can someone give me a hint or two where i am going wrong and on how to fix this?
select f.f_file_creation_date
,f.f_file_archived_relative_path
,f.f_file_archived_name
,f.k_aircraft
,c.config_date
,c.aircraft_id
,c.filefilter
from t_flow as f
join (select config_date
,aircraft_id
,filefilter
,lead (config_date,1,date '3000-01-01') over
(
partition by aircraft_id
order by config_date
) as next_config_date
from t_conf
) c
on c.aircraft_id =
f.k_aircraft
where f.f_file_creation_date >= c.config_date
and f.f_file_creation_date < c.next_config_date

SQL
Hive currently does not support any JOIN condition type other than equijoin (e.g. t1.X = t2.X and t1.Y = t2.Y). This is why you get an error.
If you are doing an inner join (and not outer join) then you can move the non-equijoin conditions to the WHERE clause.
Stick to ISO SQL standard. There is a conventional order for SQL clauses: SELECT-FROM-WHERE...
You gain nothing from esoteric syntax except for esoteric error messages.
There is no reason what so ever to use sub-queries in order to narrow the columns list.
Just to make it perfectly clear - There isn't any performance gain doing that. More than that, if it would have work as you assume (and it does not) the performance would have been worse, not better.
I can't reproduce your error. I guess your query is valid.
What version do you use for Hive ? I tested this query with hive 2.1.1.
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t_flow;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS t_flow (
f_file_creation_date DATE
, f_file_archived_relative_path STRING
, f_file_archived_name STRING
, k_aircraft STRING
);
-- Conf table contains configuration information.
-- It has columns configdate, aircraftid, configurationame
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t_conf;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS t_conf (
config_date DATE
, aircraft_id STRING
, filefilter STRING
);
SELECT
x.f_file_creation_date,
x.f_file_archived_relative_path,
x.f_file_archived_name,
x.k_aircraft,
y.config_date,
y.aircraft_id,
y.filefilter
FROM
(SELECT
f_file_creation_date,
f_file_archived_relative_path,
f_file_archived_name,
k_aircraft
FROM t_flow f) x
JOIN

c.aircraft_id,
c.filefilter

I am using the following query in oracle. However, it gives an error saying that "c.par" in line 5 is an invalid parameter. No idea why. The columns exist. I checked. I have been struggling with this for a long time. All I want to do is to merge one table into another and update it using oracle. Could someone please help?
MERGE INTO SPRENTHIERARCHIES
USING ( SELECT c.PARENTCATEGORYID AS par,
e.rootcategoryId AS root
FROM SPRENTCATEGORIES c,SPRENTHIERARCHIES e
WHERE e.root (+)= c.par
) SPRENTCATEGORIES
ON (SPRENTHIERARCHIES.rootcategoryId = SPRENTCATEGORIES.parentcategoryId)
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET e.root=c.par
The e and c aliases only exist within the query in the using clause. You're trying to refer to them in the update clause. You're also using a column alias from the using clause against the target table, which doesn't have that column (unless your tables have both rootcategoryId and root, and parentCategoryId and par).
So this:
UPDATE SET e.root=c.par
should be:
UPDATE SET SPRENTHIERARCHIES.rootcategoryId= SPRENTCATEGORIES.par
And in that using clause you're trying to use column aliases as the same level of query, so this:
WHERE e.root (+)= c.par
should be:
WHERE e.rootcategoryId (+)= c.PARENTCATEGORYID
Your on clause is wrong too, as that is not using the column alias:
ON (SPRENTHIERARCHIES.rootcategoryId = SPRENTCATEGORIES.par)
But I'd suggest you replace the old syntax in the using clause with proper join clauses:
MERGE INTO SPRENTHIERARCHIES
USING ( SELECT c.PARENTCATEGORYID AS par,
e.rootcategoryId AS root
FROM SPRENTCATEGORIES c
LEFT JOIN SPRENTHIERARCHIES e
ON e.rootcategoryId = c.PARENTCATEGORYID
) SPRENTCATEGORIES
ON (SPRENTHIERARCHIES.rootcategoryId = SPRENTCATEGORIES.par)
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET SPRENTHIERARCHIES.rootcategoryId= SPRENTCATEGORIES.par
You have a more fundamental problem though, as you're trying to update a joining column; this will get:
ORA-38104: Columns referenced in the ON Clause cannot be updated
As Gordon Linoff suggested you can use an update rather than a merge. Something like:
UPDATE SPRENTHIERARCHIES h
SET h.rootcategoryId = (
SELECT c.PARENTCATEGORYID
FROM SPRENTCATEGORIES c
WHERE c.PARENTCATEGORYID = h.rootCategoryID
)
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT null
FROM SPRENTCATEGORIES c
WHERE c.PARENTCATEGORYID = h.rootCategoryID
)
The where exists clause is there in case there not be a matching record - which the outer join in your original query implies. But in this form it's even more obvious that you're going to update rootcategoryId to the same value, since you're selecting the parentCategoryID which is equal to it. So the update (or merge) seems to be pointless.
I have the following tables:
Table1:
user_name Url
Rahul www.cric.info.com
ranbir www.rogby.com
sahil www.google.com
banit www.yahoo.com
Table2:
Keyword category
cric sports
footbal sports
google search
I want to search Table1 by matching the keyword in Table2. I can perform the same using case statement and the query works but it is not the right approach because each time I have to add the case statement when I will add new search keyword.
select user_name from table1
case when url like '%cric%' then sports
else 'undefined'
end as category
from table1;
Thanks find the soluntions for this approach. FIrst we need to do the Join and after that we need to filter the record.
select user_name,url,Keyword,catagory from(select table1.user_name,table1.url ,table2.keyword,table2.catagory from table1 left outer join table2)a where a.url like (concat('%',a.phrase,'%')
Not sure about more current versions, but I've run into a similar problem... the primary issue is that Hive only supports equi-join statements... when you apply logic to either side of the join, it has difficulty translating into a Map Reduce function.
The alternative method, if you have a reliably structured field, is that you can create a matching key from the larger field. For example, if you know that you're looking for your keyword to exist in the second position of a dot-delimited URI, you could do something like:
select
Uri
, split(Uri, "\\.")[1] as matchKey
from
Table1
join Table2 on Table2.keyword = Table1.matchKey
;
looking for solution on my sql query error.I'm trying to create second cascading Input Control in JaspersoftServer. The first Input Control works fine, however when I try to create a second cascade IC it returns with the error. I have 3 tables (user, client, user_client), many to many, so 1 linked table (user_client) between them.The 1st Input Control (client) - works well, end user will select the client, the client can have many users, so cascade is the key. Also, as the output, I would like to get not the user_id, but user's firstname and the lastname as one column field. And here is where i'm stuck. I'm pretty sure it is simple syntaxis error, but spent a good couple of hours to figure out what is wrong with it. Is anyone can have a look at it please and indicate where is the problem in my query ?! So far I've done:
select distinct
u.user_id,(
SELECT CONCAT(first_name, surname) AS user_name from tbl_user ),
c.client_id
FROM tbl_user u
left join tbl_user_client uc
on uc.user_id = u.user_id
left join tbl_client c
on c.client_id = uc.client_id
where c.client_id = uc.client_id
order by c.client_id
Thank you in advance.
P.S. JasperServer + Oracle 11g
You're doing an uncorrelated subquery to get the first/last name from the user table. There is no relationship between that subquery:
SELECT CONCAT(first_name, surname) AS user_name from tbl_user
... and the user ID in the main query, so the subquery will attempt to return every first/last name for all users, for every row your joins find.
You don't need to do a subquery at all as you already have the tbl_user information available:
select u.user_id,
CONCAT(u.first_name, u.surname) AS user_name
c.client_id
FROM tbl_user u
left join tbl_user_client uc
on uc.user_id = u.user_id
left join tbl_client c
on c.client_id = uc.client_id
where c.client_id = uc.client_id
order by c.client_id
If you want to put a space between the first and last name you'll either need nested concat() calls, since that function only takes two arguments:
select u.user_id,
CONCAT(u.first_name, CONCAT(' ', u.surname)) AS user_name
...
... or perhaps more readably use the concatenation operator instead:
select u.user_id,
u.first_name ||' '|| u.surname AS user_name
...
If the first control has selected a client and this query is supposed to find the users related to that client, you're joining the tables the wrong way round, aren't you? And you aren't filtering on the selected client - but no idea how that's actually implemented in Jasper. Maybe you do want the entire list and will filter it on the Jasper side.
I have the following query in oracle. I want to convert it to PostgreSQL form. Could someone help me out in this,
SELECT user_id, user_name, reports_to, position
FROM pr_operators
START WITH reports_to = 'dpercival'
CONNECT BY PRIOR user_id = reports_to;
A something like this should work for you (SQL Fiddle):
WITH RECURSIVE q AS (
SELECT po.user_id,po.user_name,po.reports_to,po.position
FROM pr_operators po
WHERE po.reports_to = 'dpercival'
UNION ALL
SELECT po.user_id,po.user_name,po.reports_to,po.position
FROM pr_operators po
JOIN q ON q.user_id=po.reports_to
)
SELECT * FROM q;
You can read more on recursive CTE's in the docs.
Note: your design looks strange -- reports_to contains string literals, yet it is being comapred with user_id which typicaly is of type integer.
