Different results with the same query in oracle 11g and 10g - oracle

The query does not give the same results in oracle 10g and oracle 11g:
with table1 as
(select 1 as id, 'A' as col1, 'X' as col2
from dual
union all
select 2 as id, 'Y' as col1, 'A' as col2
from dual
union all
select 3 as id, 'Z' as col1, 'Z' as col2
from dual)
select *
from table1
where (1 = 1 and (ID=2 or ID=3))
or EXISTS (SELECT 0 FROM dual WHERE col1 = 'A')
or EXISTS (SELECT 0 FROM dual WHERE col2 = 'A')
result in oracle 11g:
ID COL1 COL2
1 A X
2 Y A
result in oracle 10g:
ID COL1 COL2
1 A X
2 Y A
3 Z Z
why???

SQL | SPLIT COLUMNS INTO ROWS

How can I split the column data into rows with basic SQL.
COL1 COL2
1 A-B
2 C-D
3 AAA-BB
Result
COL1 Col2
1 A
1 B
2 C
2 D
3 AAA
3 BB
From Oracle 12, if it is always two delimited values then you can use:
SELECT t.col1,
l.col2
FROM table_name t
CROSS JOIN LATERAL (
SELECT SUBSTR(col2, 1, INSTR(col2, '-') - 1) AS col2 FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT SUBSTR(col2, INSTR(col2, '-') + 1) FROM DUAL
) l
Which, for the sample data:
CREATE TABLE table_name (COL1, COL2) AS
SELECT 1, 'A-B' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 'C-D' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 3, 'AAA-BB' FROM DUAL;
Outputs:
COL1
COL2
1
A
1
B
2
C
2
D
3
AAA
3
BB

Snowflake is tagged, so here's the snowflake way of doing this:
WITH TEST (col1, col2) as
(select 1, 'A-B' from dual union all
select 2, 'C-D' from dual union all
select 3, 'AAA-BB' from dual
)
SELECT test.col1, table1.value
FROM test, LATERAL strtok_split_to_table(test.col2, '-') as table1
ORDER BY test.col1, table1.value;
As of Oracle:
SQL> with test (col1, col2) as
2 (select 1, 'A-B' from dual union all
3 select 2, 'C-D' from dual union all
4 select 3, 'AAA-BB' from dual
5 )
6 select col1,
7 regexp_substr(col2, '[^-]+', 1, column_value) col2
8 from test cross join
9 table(cast(multiset(select level from dual
10 connect by level <= regexp_count(col2, '-') + 1
11 ) as sys.odcinumberlist))
12 order by col1, col2;
COL1 COL2
---------- ------------------------
1 A
1 B
2 C
2 D
3 AAA
3 BB
6 rows selected.

For MS-SQL 2016 and higher you can use:
SELECT Col1, x.value
FROM t CROSS APPLY STRING_SPLIT(t.Col2, '-') as x;
BTW: If Col2 contains null, it does not appear in the result.

Select default in case of no value returned

I am trying to get some default value in my resultset if query does not return anything. I am trying nvl for the same but it is not returning the expected default value. To simulate, Consider following query,
select nvl(null, '10') from dual where 1=0;
I want to get 10 in case of given condition is not true and query does not return any value. However above query not returning any row.
Your query returns zero rows. NVL() isn't going to change that (*).
The correct solution is for the program which executes the query to handle NO_DATA_FOUND exception rather than fiddling the query.
However, you need a workaround so here is one using two sub-queries, one for your actual query, one to for the default.
When your_query returns an empty set you get this:
SQL> with your_qry as
2 ( select col1 from t42 where 1=0 )
3 , dflt as
4 ( select 10 as col1 from dual )
5 select col1
6 from your_qry
7 union all
8 select col1
9 from dflt
10 where not exists (select * from your_qry );
COL1
----------
10
SQL>
And when it returns a row you get this:
SQL> with your_qry as
2 ( select col1 from t42 )
3 , dflt as
4 ( select 10 as col1 from dual )
5 select col1
6 from your_qry
7 union all
8 select col1
9 from dflt
10 where not exists (select * from your_qry );
COL1
----------
12
13
SQL>
The WITH clause is optional here, it just makes it easier to write the query without duplication. This would have the same outcome:
select col1
from t42
where col0 is null
union all
select 10
from dual
where not exists (select col1
from t42
where col0 is null)
;
(*) Okay, there are solutions which use NVL() or COALESCE() with aggregations to do this. They work with single column projections in a single row as this question poses, but break down when the real query has more than one row and/or more than one column. Aggregations change the results.
So this looks alright ...
SQL> with cte as (
2 select 'Z' as col0, 12 as col1 from dual where 1=0 union all
3 select 'X' as col0, 13 as col1 from dual where 1=0 )
4 select
5 nvl(max(col0), 'Y') as col0, nvl(max( col1), 10) as col1
6 from cte;
COL0 COL1
---------- ----------
Y 10
SQL>
... but this not so much:
SQL> with cte as (
2 select 'Z' as col0, 12 as col1 from dual union all
3 select 'X' as col0, 13 as col1 from dual )
4 select
5 nvl(max(col0), 'Y') as col0, nvl(max( col1), 10) as col1
6 from cte;
COL0 COL1
---------- ----------
Z 13
SQL>
May be something like this is what you need
You could change WHERE clause (in this case WHERE COL > 1) similarly in both places.
WITH T(COL) AS(
SELECT 1 FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 2 FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 3 FROM DUAL
)
SELECT COL FROM T WHERE COL > 1
UNION ALL
SELECT 10 AS COL FROM DUAL WHERE NOT EXISTS( SELECT 1 FROM T WHERE COL > 1)
You can use aggregation. An aggregation query always returns one row:
select coalesce(max(null), '10')
from dual
where 1 = 0;
I prefer coalesce() to nvl() because coalesce() is the ANSI standard function. But, nvl() would work here just as well.

Adding specific number of zeros before a string

I have written this query
update cmart_m_branch
set code=concat('000',cmart_m_branch.code)
where length(code)=1.
But it is not working..it was updating with all zeros..column code should have only 4 characters. But it is working like this.... just I am changing the query.....
Update cmart_m_branch
set code=concat('00',cmart_m_branch.code)
where length(code)=2.
Why it is not working with the length 1 ..please suggest me..
Sounds like you're after LPAD:
WITH sample_data AS (SELECT '1' col1 FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '12' col1 FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '123' col1 FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '1234' col1 FROM dual)
SELECT col1,
LPAD(col1, 4, '0') new_col1
FROM sample_data;
COL1 NEW_COL1
---- --------
1 0001
12 0012
123 0123
1234 1234
Of course, this is assuming that your cmart_m_branch.code column is of string datatype. If it's of number datatype then there is no use in doing the update - you should instead format the data on-the-fly when you're selecting it (or you could use a virtual column to do the formatting for you). This can be done using to_char():
WITH sample_data AS (SELECT 1 col1 FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 12 col1 FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 123 col1 FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 1234 col1 FROM dual)
SELECT col1,
to_char(col1, '0999') new_col1
FROM sample_data;
COL1 NEW_COL1
---------- --------
1 0001
12 0012
123 0123
1234 1234
If you're absolutely dead-set on using concatenation (why?) then you can do it using a case expression:
WITH sample_data AS (SELECT '1' col1 FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '12' col1 FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '123' col1 FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '1234' col1 FROM dual)
SELECT col1,
CASE WHEN LENGTH(col1) = 1 THEN '000'||col1
WHEN LENGTH(col1) = 2 THEN '00'||col1
WHEN LENGTH(col1) = 3 THEN '0'||col1
ELSE col1
END new_col1
FROM sample_data;
COL1 NEW_COL1
---- --------
1 0001
12 0012
123 0123
1234 1234

SQL query to get grouped sums and concatenated lists, preferably without using functions

I have a table like
colA colB colC
A 10 1
A 20 2
A 30 3
B 10 1
B 20 2
I want an output like this
ColA colB colC
A 60 1,2,3
B 30 1,2
Can someone tell me how to do it with and without using functions, and in PL/SQL?
Here is sql you needed.
Note : it will only run on oracle 11g R2 onwards.
with tab as(
select 'A' col1,10 col2,1 col3 from dual union all
select 'A' col1,20 col2,2 col3 from dual union all
select 'A' col1,30 col2,3 col3 from dual union all
select 'B' col1,10 col2,1 col3 from dual union all
select 'B' col1,20 col2,2 col3 from dual )
select col1, sum(col2),listagg(col3,',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY col3) AS col3_list
from tab group by col1
Assume your table name is tab
with tab1(col1, col2) as (
select colA, sum(colB)
from tab group by colA
),
tab2(col1, col2) as (
select colA, LISTAGG(TO_CHAR(colC),',')
WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY colC)
from tab group by colA
)
select a.col1, a.col2, b.col2
from tab1 a, tab2 b
where a.col1 = b.col1
OutPut:
COL1 COL2 COL2
A 60 1,2,3
B 30 1,2
For more information about LISTAGG link
This link explains about multiple with clause
Or simply;
select colA, sum(colB) colB,LISTAGG(TO_CHAR(colC),',')
WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY colC)
from tab group by colA
Probably this may the easiest solution syntactically :)
SELECT COLA,
SUM(COLB),
WMSYS.WM_CONCAT(COLC)
FROM
(SELECT 'A' cola,10 AS colb,1 AS colc FROM dual
UNION
SELECT 'A' cola,20 AS colb,2 AS colc FROM dual
UNION
SELECT 'A' cola,30 AS colb,3 AS colc FROM dual
UNION
SELECT 'B' cola,10 AS colb,1 AS colc FROM dual
UNION
SELECT 'B' cola,20 AS colb,2 AS colc FROM dual
)
GROUP BY COLA ;
OUTPUT
COLA SUM(COLB) WMSYS.WM_CONCAT(COLC)
A 60 1,2,3
B 30 1,2

Oracle - Is it possible to "set" values inside case statement during update as below?

Is it possible to "set" values inside case statement during update as below ?
UPDATE TABLE1
CASE WHEN COL1 = 'A' THEN SET COL2 = 10, COL3 = 20, COL4 = 30
WHEN COL1 IN ('B','N') THEN SET COL2 = 1, COL3 = 5, COL4 = 7
WHEN COL1 = 'D' THEN SET COL2 = 11, COL3 = 13, COL4 = 17
ELSE SET COL2 = 0, COL3 = 0, COL4 = 0
END;
The corresponding valid syntax would be like this.
UPDATE TABLE1 SET
COL2 = (CASE WHEN COL1 = 'A' THEN 10
WHEN COL1 IN ('B','N') THEN 1
WHEN COL1 = 'D' THEN 11
ELSE 0
END),
COL3 = (CASE WHEN COL1 = 'A' THEN 20
WHEN COL1 IN ('B','N') THEN 5
WHEN COL1 = 'D' THEN 13
ELSE 0
END),
COL4 = (CASE WHEN COL1 = 'A' THEN 30
WHEN COL1 IN ('B','N') THEN 7
WHEN COL1 = 'D' THEN 17
ELSE 0
END);
Looks like you're trying to do a MERGE, with one exception. You can update the table in a single merge statement as follows, except your logic to update all non-matching rows to 0's.
SQL> create table tab1
(
col1 varchar2(10),
col2 number,
col3 number,
col4 number,
merge_flag char(1)
)
Table created.
SQL> insert into tab1 values ('A', 10,11,12,null)
1 row created.
SQL> insert into tab1 values ('B', 20,21,22,null)
1 row created.
SQL> insert into tab1 values ('C', 30,31,32,null)
1 row created.
SQL> commit
Commit complete.
SQL> select * from tab1
COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4 MERGE_FLAG
---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
A 10 11 12
B 20 21 22
C 30 31 32
3 rows selected.
SQL> merge into tab1 t
using (
select 'A' as col1, 10 as col2, 20 as col3, 30 as col4 from dual
union
select 'B' as col1, 1 as col2, 5 as col3, 7 as col4 from dual
union
select 'N' as col1, 1 as col2, 5 as col3, 7 as col4 from dual
union
select 'D' as col1, 11 as col2, 13 as col3, 17 as col4 from dual
) x
on (t.col1 = x.col1)
when matched then
update set t.col2 = x.col2, t.col3 = x.col3, t.col4 = x.col4, t.merge_flag = 'X'
Merge successfully completed.
SQL> commit
Commit complete.
SQL> select * from tab1
COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4 MERGE_FLAG
---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
A 10 20 30 X
B 1 5 7 X
C 30 31 32
3 rows selected.
You could run a single update after the merge to change all non matching rows with 0.
In order to do this via case, you would have to repeat the case for each field (as demonstrated by #MaheswaranRavisankar). That's just the way case works. An alternative would be to fabricate a sub-query that provides the same results. While this is longer, it does group related values together, which may be more readable/easier to maintain.
Given the need to set all non-matching values to zero, I would solve that by setting all values to zero first, then updating the matches the appropriate value.
UPDATE table1
SET col2 = 0, col3 = 0, col4 = 0;
UPDATE table1
SET (col2, col3, col4) =
(SELECT a.col2, a.col3, a.col4
FROM (SELECT 'A' AS col1,
10 AS col2,
20 AS col3,
30 AS col4
FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'B' AS col1,
5 AS col2,
5 AS col3,
7 AS col4
FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'N' AS col1,
5 AS col2,
5 AS col3,
7 AS col4
FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'D' AS col1,
13 AS col2,
7 AS col3,
17 AS col4
FROM DUAL) a
WHERE a.col1 = table1.col1);
This also hints at another option: perhaps you should consider creating a table with these values, rather than embedding them in the SQL.
