How to create a small and simple sql without using case - oracle

This is my view sql command. I want to make it small without using case.
select a.nrc_typ_cd,a.nrc_typ_nm,a.a as "No of IMIS Source",b.b as "No of New Source",c.c as "No of Source Marked Bad",d.d as "No of Source with Lat/Long",e.e as "No of Source without Lat/Long" from
(select nrc_typ_cd,nrc_typ_nm,count(nrc_cd) as a from tableview_dtl where imis_nrc_cd is not null and act_flg='A' group by nrc_typ_cd,nrc_typ_nm ) a,
(select nrc_typ_cd,count(nvl(nrc_cd,0)) as b from tableview_dtl where imis_nrc_cd is null and act_flg='A' group by nrc_typ_cd ) b,
(select nrc_typ_cd,count(nrc_cd) as c from tableview_dtl where act_flg='I' group by nrc_typ_cd ) c,
(select nrc_typ_cd,count(nrc_cd) as d from tableview_dtl where lat_val_degree is not null and long_val_degree is not null and act_flg='A' group by nrc_typ_cd) d,
(select nrc_typ_cd,count(nvl(nrc_cd,0)) as e from tableview_dtl where lat_val_degree is null and long_val_degree is null and act_flg='A' group by nrc_typ_cd) e
where a.nrc_typ_cd=b.nrc_typ_cd
and a.nrc_typ_cd=c.nrc_typ_cd
and a.nrc_typ_cd=d.nrc_typ_cd
and a.nrc_typ_cd=e.nrc_typ_cd
order by a.nrc_typ_cd

(This is more of an extended comment than an answer.)
So this is the version of the code that you don't want?
select nrc_typ_cd,nrc_typ_nm
,count(case when imis_nrc_cd is not null and act_flg='A' then nrc_cd else null end) a
,count(case when imis_nrc_cd is not null and act_flg='A' then nvl(nrc_cd, 0) else null end) b
,count(case when act_flg='I' then nrc_cd else null end) c
,count(case when lat_val_degree is not null and long_val_degree is not null and act_flg='A' then nrc_cd else null end) d,
,count(case when lat_val_degree is null and long_val_degree is null and act_flg='A' then nvl(nrc_cd, 0) else null end) e,
from tableview_dtl
group by nrc_typ_cd,nrc_typ_nm
order by a.nrc_typ_cd;
It seems simpler, shorter, and faster than the newer version. It's important to fully explain why this obvious solution is insufficient before
people can reasonably propose alternatives.
According to a comment, this version is not acceptable because "instruction is given by my PL". (What does "PL" mean; project lead?) What does the PL have
against CASE? I can't think of a good reason to ask someone to rewrite something to avoid a CASE.
Would it be enough to use a DECODE instead? Or does the entire query need to be re-written?

Optimize Insert statement

I have an insert block which inserts almost 5680969 rows and takes about 10 mins to execute. I tried to optimize using parallel hints and other things like summarizing queries. Can this block of query can be further optimized?? Any help will be much appreciated.

Add this statement before the INSERT:
execute immediate 'alter session enable parallel dml';
Remove all the hints and only use this one hint at the top:
/*+ APPEND PARALLEL */
This allows the entire statement to run in parallel, not just certain parts of the SELECT. Unless you're using an old, unsupported version of Oracle, you normally want to avoid listing the objects in the parallel hint. Using the parallel hint without a number will hopefully pick a better degree of parallelism, depending on the way the system is setup. If that doesn't work out, then I'd recommend trying different numbers. (In short, a higher DOP is always faster, but there are diminishing returns and it can steal resources from other statements.)
After you've done that, take a look at the explain plan for the INSERT. Ensure it's using LOAD AS SELECT and not CONVENTIONAL INSERT - that's how you tell the statement is using a direct-path write. The APPEND hint is tricky and there are many things that may prevent it from working correctly.
Then run the code and generate a SQL Monitor report like this: select dbms_sqltune.report_sql_monitor(sql_id => 'the insert SQL_ID') from dual;. That report will tell you which operation in the query is slow, if any. The explain plan will probably generate a few dozen lines, and without the SQL Monitor report you'll have to guess which part is slow. Some of the join conditions look complicated, I wouldn't be surprised if you see a few operations where the estimated rows are 1 but the actual are much higher, leading to NESTED LOOPs instead of HASH JOINs.
Those are high-level hints for getting started with a parallel INSERT. You can easily spend hours on a statement like this.

Insert Records in a Table without duplicating the records

I have this MySQL Statement. I want to execute this SQL repeatedly to insert the result into a Third table withoud duplicating the Records in Third Table.
SELECT `Client_ID`, `Client_RFID_Number`
FROM ciom_master AS a
WHERE (`Client_Active` ='Y' OR `Client_Active` ='y')
AND NOT EXISTS (
SELECT (`Client_Check_Out`)
FROM `cio_master` AS b
WHERE a.Client_ID = b.Client_ID
and Client_Check_Out = CURDATE() )
AND NOT EXISTS (
SELECT (`Client_Check_In`)
FROM `cio_master` AS c
WHERE a.Client_ID = c.Client_ID
and Client_Check_In = CURDATE())
I am attempting following Statement but it is throwing error
INSERT IGNORE INTO cio_alert (`Client_ID`, `Client_RFID_Number`, `Client_Check_Out`, `Client_Check_In`)
SELECT `ciom_master`.`Client_ID`, `ciom_master`.`Client_RFID_Number`,`cio_master`.`Client_Check_Out`, `cio_master`.`Client_Check_In` FROM ciom_master
INNER JOIN `cio_master` ON `ciom_master`.`Client_ID` = `ciom_master`.`Client_ID`
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT `Client_ID`, `Client_RFID_Number`
FROM ciom_master AS a
WHERE (`Client_Active` ='Y' OR `Client_Active` ='y')
AND NOT EXISTS (
SELECT (`Client_Check_Out`)
FROM `cio_master` AS b
WHERE a.Client_ID = b.Client_ID
and Client_Check_Out = CURDATE() )
AND NOT EXISTS (
SELECT (`Client_Check_In`)
FROM `cio_master` AS c
WHERE a.Client_ID = c.Client_ID
and Client_Check_In = CURDATE())
AND (
SELECT `Client_Check_Out` FROM cio_master
WHERE ((`Client_Check_Out` IS NOT NULL AND `Client_Check_In` IS NULL)
OR (`Client_Check_Out` IS NULL AND `Client_Check_In` IS NULL)))
AND (
SELECT `Client_Check_In` FROM cio_master
WHERE ((`Client_Check_Out` IS NOT NULL AND `Client_Check_In` IS NULL)
OR (`Client_Check_Out` IS NULL AND `Client_Check_In` IS NULL)))
)
You didnt mention exist or not exist condition at the last select statement... u simply put the and condition without any exist or not exist or in or not in. Try to put any of the valid condition over there. And also in the first select statement y r u using same table twice and joining without any alias try to check that one also once.

Constraint check if row and other row not null on same time

I have a school 'project' to work on, which has some tables and one table needs to have a constraint which is not working out for me.
There are some tables like QUESTION, ANSWER and REACTION.
A reaction belongs with or a question or a answer but not both on the same time.
There by I have 2 rows:
question_id NUMBER,
answer_id NUMBER,
Both not null because the cant by null, but not on the same time.
I already made a constraint but isn't working..
/* CHECK if reaction belongs to an question or a answer NOT WORKING YET*/
CONSTRAINT CHECK_question_or_answer CHECK((answer_id != NULL AND question_id = NULL) OR (answer_id = NULL OR question_id != NULL))
Already tested the constraint and I can insert a value without a question_id or answer_id.
I hope it's a bit clear, if not, I am happy yo try explain myself better.
(still newby on SQL)
Thanks.
Your constraint:
CONSTRAINT CHECK_question_or_answer CHECK((answer_id != NULL AND profile_id = NULL) OR (answer_id = NULL OR profile_id != NULL))
Is always FALSE.
You need to use IS NULL or IS NOT NULL like:
CONSTRAINT CHECK_question_or_answer CHECK((answer_id IS NOT NULL AND profile_id IS NULL) OR (answer_id IS NULL OR profile_id IS NOT NULL))
This is because comparison operators != , = , > , <, combined with NULL produce NULL and are treated as false.
Demo:
SELECT 1
FROM dual
WHERE 1 IS NOT NULL;
SELECT 1
FROM dual
WHERE 1 != NULL;
From doc:
NULL values represent missing or unknown data. NULL values are used as
placeholders or as the default entry in columns to indicate that no
actual data is present. The NULL is untyped in SQL, meaning that it is
not an integer, a character, or any other specific data type.
Note that NULL is not the same as an empty data string or the
numerical value '0'. While NULL indicates the absence of a value, the
empty string and numerical zero both represent actual values.
While a NULL value can be assigned, it can not be equated with
anything, including itself.
Because NULL does not represent or equate to a data type, you cannot
test for NULL values with any comparison operators, such as =, <, or
<>.
The IS NULL and IS NOT NULL operators are used to test for NULL
values.
Do it the other way around. Put the id of the main table in the others like that
question table
--------------
id
text
...
answers table
-------------
id
question_id
text
...
reactions table
---------------
id
question_id
text
...
And question_id is never null. Then you can use a left join to get the results from both tables - one of them will have no results.
select *
from questions q
left join answers a on a.question_id = q.id
left join reactions r on r.question_id = q.id
While #lad2025s answer is good for two columns, if you wanted to extend the method to more than two it can get a bit cumbersome.
A flexible alternative is:
check ((case when answer_id is null then 0 else 1 end +
case when question_id is null then 0 else 1 end ) = 1)
It extends well to checking for a particular count of null (or non-null) values for an arbitrary number of columns.
For example, if you had column_1, column_2, column3, and column_4, and wanted at least 1 of them to be non-null, then:
check ((case when column_1 is null then 0 else 1 end +
case when column_2 is null then 0 else 1 end +
case when column_3 is null then 0 else 1 end +
case when column_4 is null then 0 else 1 end ) >= 1)

How can we do update,delete,insert in single merge

I have a source and target table. I was doing a simple merge where I was able to do insert and update operation simultaneously. I just added columns like insert date and update date to know when the record is inserted and updated. Then, I also added a flag columns which tells us that if the record is ever updated if yes then 'Y' else 'N'. I was successful till this but when I tried to use delete it doesn't allow me.I have seen many solutions in sql server but mine is oracle. I was doing a soft delete in which the record is not deleted from the target but just the flag column is updated to 'Y' if some record is deleted from the source table. But I was not able to do that. I used case also but of no use.To be clear I just want to update flag when there is delete in source. Can anybody tell me how can I do that with single merge statement? I have simple table student having attribute like name,address mobile no , state. I have made my query like this-
merge into target t using (SELECT CASE WHEN S.STUDENT_ID IS NULL THEN T.STUDENT_ID ELSE S.STUDENT_ID END
AS STUDENT_ID,S.NAME,S.ADRESS,S.STATE,S.MOBILE FROM STUDENTS S full JOIN TARGET T ON S.STUDENT_ID=T.STUDENT_ID) s
on (s.student_id = t.student_id)
when not matched then insert (student_id,name,address,state,mobile,insert_date,update_date)
values(s.student_id,s.name,s.adress,s.state,s.mobile,sysdate,sysdate)
when matched then update set t.name=s.name,t.address=s.adress, t.state=s.state,t.mobile=s.mobile,update_date=sysdate
where s.name!=t.name or s.adress!=t.address or s.state!=t.state or s.mobile!=t.mobile;
this time I used case with every attribute and I am able to solve it but every time I run it it shows the no of extra rows present in target merged like - 4 rows are merged I dont want that can anyone help my query is-
MERGE INTO TARGET T USING (SELECT CASE WHEN S.STUDENT_ID IS NULL THEN T.STUDENT_ID ELSE S.STUDENT_ID END
AS STUDENT_ID,S.NAME,S.ADRESS,S.STATE,S.MOBILE FROM STUDENTS S FULL JOIN TARGET T ON S.STUDENT_ID=T.STUDENT_ID) S
ON (S.STUDENT_ID=T.STUDENT_ID)
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT
(STUDENT_ID,NAME,ADDRESS,STATE,MOBILE,INSERT_DATE,UPDATE_DATE,FLAG )
VALUES(S.STUDENT_ID,S.NAME,S.ADRESS,S.STATE,S.MOBILE,SYSDATE,SYSDATE, 'N')
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET T.FLAG='Y' , t.name = case when s.name is null then T.NAME else S.name end ,
T.ADDRESS=case when s.ADRESS is null then T.ADDRESS else S.ADRESS end ,
t.STATE=case when s.STATE is null then T.STATE else S.STATE end ,
T.MOBILE=CASE WHEN S.MOBILE IS NULL THEN T.MOBILE ELSE S.MOBILE END
WHERE S.NAME!=T.NAME OR S.ADRESS!=T.ADDRESS OR S.STATE!=T.STATE OR S.MOBILE!=T.MOBILE or t.STUDENT_ID in
(SELECT TARGET.STUDENT_ID FROM
STUDENTS FULL JOIN TARGET ON STUDENTS.STUDENT_ID=TARGET.STUDENT_ID WHERE STUDENTS.STUDENT_ID IS NULL);

Reference parent query column in subquery (Oracle)

How can I reference a column outside of a subquery using Oracle? I specifically need to use it in the WHERE statement of the subquery.
Basically I have this:
SELECT Item.ItemNo, Item.Group
FROM Item
LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT Attribute.Group, COUNT(1) CT
FROM Attribute
WHERE Attribute.ItemNo=12345) A ON A.Group = Item.Group
WHERE Item.ItemNo=12345
I'd like to change WHERE Attribute.ItemNo=12345 to WHERE Attribute.ItemNo=Item.ItemNo in the subquery, but I can't figure out if this is possible. I keep getting "ORA-00904: 'Item'.'ItemNo': Invalid Identifier"
EDIT:
Ok, this is why I need this kind of structure:
I want to be able to get a count of the "Error" records (where the item is missing a value) and the "OK" records (where the item has a value).
The way I have set it up in the fiddle returns the correct data. I think I might just end up filling in the value in each of the subqueries, since this would probably be the easiest way. Sorry if my data structures are a little convoluted. I can explain if need be.
My tables are:
create table itemcountry(
itemno number,
country nchar(3),
imgroup varchar2(10),
imtariff varchar2(20),
exgroup varchar2(10),
extariff varchar2(20) );
create table itemattribute(
attributeid varchar2(10),
tariffgroup varchar2(10),
tariffno varchar2(10) );
create table icav(
itemno number,
attributeid varchar2(10),
value varchar2(10) );
and my query so far is:
select itemno, country, imgroup, imtariff, im.error "imerror", im.ok "imok", exgroup, extariff, ex.error "exerror", ex.ok "exok"
from itemcountry
left outer join (select sum(case when icav.itemno is null then 1 else 0 end) error, sum(case when icav.itemno is not null then 1 else 0 end) ok, tariffgroup, tariffno
from itemattribute ia
left outer join icav on ia.attributeid=icav.attributeid
where (icav.itemno=12345 or icav.itemno is null)
group by tariffgroup, tariffno) im on im.tariffgroup=imgroup and imtariff=im.tariffno
left outer join (select sum(case when icav.itemno is null then 1 else 0 end) error, sum(case when icav.itemno is not null then 1 else 0 end) ok, tariffgroup, tariffno
from itemattribute ia
left outer join icav on ia.attributeid=icav.attributeid
where (icav.itemno=12345 or icav.itemno is null)
group by tariffgroup, tariffno) ex on ex.tariffgroup=exgroup and extariff=ex.tariffno
where itemno=12345;
It's also set up in a SQL Fiddle.
You can do it in a sub-query but not in a join. In your case I don't see any need to. You can put it in the join condition.
select i.itemno, i.group
from item i
left outer join ( select group, itemno
from attribute b
group by group itemno ) a
on a.group = i.group
and i.itemno = a.itemno
where i.itemno = 12345
The optimizer is built to deal with this sort of situation so utilise it!
I've changed the count(1) to a group by as you need to group by all columns that aren't aggregated.
I'm assuming that your actual query is more complicated than this as with the columns you're selecting this is probably equivilent to
select itemno, group
from item
where itemno = 12345
You could also write your sub-query with an analytic function instead. Something like count(*) over ( partition by group).
As an aside using a keyword as a column name, in this case group is A Bad Idea TM. It can cause a lot of confusion. As you can see from the code above you have a lot of groups in there.
So, based on your SQL-Fiddle, which I've added to the question I think you're looking for something like the following, which doesn't look much better. I suspect, given time, I could make it simpler. On another side note explicitly lower casing queries is never worth the hassle it causes. I've followed your naming convention though.
with sub_query as (
select count(*) - count(icav.itemno) as error
, count(icav.itemno) as ok
, min(itemno) over () as itemno
, tariffgroup
, tariffno
from itemattribute ia
left outer join icav
on ia.attributeid = icav.attributeid
group by icav.itemno
, tariffgroup
, tariffno
)
select ic.itemno, ic.country, ic.imgroup, ic.imtariff
, sum(im.error) as "imerror", sum(im.ok) as "imok"
, ic.exgroup, ic.extariff
, sum(ex.error) as "exerror", sum(ex.ok) as "exok"
from itemcountry ic
left outer join sub_query im
on ic.imgroup = im.tariffgroup
and ic.imtariff = im.tariffno
and ic.itemno = im.itemno
left outer join sub_query ex
on ic.exgroup = ex.tariffgroup
and ic.extariff = ex.tariffno
and ic.itemno = ex.itemno
where ic.itemno = 12345
group by ic.itemno, ic.country
, ic.imgroup, ic.imtariff
, ic.exgroup, ic.extariff
;
You can put WHERE attribute.itemno=item.itemno inside the subquery. You are going to filter the data anyway, filtering the data inside the subquery is usually faster too.
