DELETE
FROM cats c
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM owner_cats o
WHERE o.id_cat = c.id_cat
AND o.id_owner = 1)
Tables names are different. This is throwing sybase errror 107.
The column prefix '%.*s' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query. Either the table is not specified in the FROM clause or it has a correlation name which must be used instead.
Explanation.
Everything seems to b e correct with query. Please help.
You gotta change it to DELETE cats FROM cats c (etc).

I have a query which uses the view a as follows and the query is extremely slow.
select *
from a
where a.id = 1 and a.name = 'Ann';
The view a is made up another four views b,c,d,e.
select b.id, c.name, c.age, e.town
from b,c,d,e
where c.name = b.name AND c.id = d.id AND d.name = e.name;
I have created an index on the table of c named c_test and I need to use it when executing the first query.
Is this possible?
Are you really using this deprecated 1980s join syntax? You shouldn't. Use proper explicit joins (INNER JOIN in your case).
You are joining the two tables C and D on their IDs. That should mean they are 1:1 related. If not, "ID" is a misnomer, because an ID is supposed to identify a row.
Now let's look at the access route: You have the ID from table B and the name from tables B and C. We can tell from the column name that b.id is unique and Oracle guarantees this with a unique index, if the database is set up properly.
This means the DBMS will look for the B row with ID 1, find it instantly in the index, find the row instantly in the table, see the name and see whether it matches 'Ann'.
The only thing that can be slow hence is joining C, D, and E. Joining on unique IDs is extremely fast. Joining on (non-unigue?) names is only fast, if you provide indexes on the names. I'd recommend the following indexes accordingly:
create index idx_c on c (name);
create index idx_e on e (name);
To get this faster still, use covering indexes instead:
create index idx_b on b (id, name);
create index idx_c on c (name, id, age);
create index idx_d on d (id, name);
create index idx_e on e (name, town);
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 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.
TablePatient.Patient_ID(PK)
TableProviders.Encounter (joins to PK)
TableProviders.Provider_Type
TableProviders.Provider_ID
TableNames.Full_Name
TableNames.Provider_ID (joins to Table Names)
I want a query that will give, for all the Patient_IDs, the Full_Name of the provider for every Provider ID.
There are about 30 provider_types.
I have made this already using a left join a ton of left joins. It takes a long time to run and I am thinking there is a trick I am missing.
Any help?
Ok, my previous answer didn't match at all what you meant. You want to pivot the table to have on each line one Patient_ID with every Full_name for every provider_type. I assume that each patient has only one provider for one type and not more ; if more, you will have more than one row for each patient, and anyway I don't think it's really possible.
Here is my solution with pivot. The first part is to make it more understandable, so I create a table named TABLE_PATIENT in a subquery.
WITH TABLE_PATIENT AS
(
SELECT TablePatient.Patient_ID,
TableProviders.Provider_Type,
TableNames.Full_Name
FROM TablePatient LEFT JOIN
TableProviders on TablePatient.Patient_ID = TableProviders.Encounter
LEFT JOIN
TableNames on TableNames.Provider_ID = TableProviders.Provider_ID
group by TablePatient.Patient_ID,
TableProviders.Provider_Type,
TableNames.Full_Name
)
SELECT *
FROM TABLE_PATIENT
PIVOT
(
min(Full_name)
for Provider_type in ([type1], [type2],[type3])
) AS PVT
So TABLE_PATIENT just has many rows for each patient, with one provider each row, and the pivot puts everything on a single row. Tell me if something doesn't work.
You need to write every type you want in the [type1],[type2] etc. Just put them inside [], no other character needed as ' or anything else.
If you put only some types, then the query will not show providers of other types.
Tell me if something doesn't work.
If I understand what you mean, you just want to group the answer by Patient Id and then Provider ID. A full name is unique on a provider id right ?
This should be something like
SELECT TablePatient.Patient_ID,
TableProviders.Provider_ID,
TableNames.Full_Name
FROM TablePatient LEFT JOIN
TableProviders on TablePatient.Patient_ID = TableProviders.Encounter
LEFT JOIN
TableNames on TableNames.Provider_ID = TablerProviders.Provider_ID
group by TablePatient.Patient_ID,
TableProviders.Provider_ID,
TableNames.Full_Name
You can either group by TableNames.Full_Name or select First(TableNames.Full_Name) for example if indeed a full name is unique to a provider ID.
Note : I used the SQL server Syntax, there can be différences with Oracle ..
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
;
