I am writing a report in SSRS that uses an excel spreadsheet as a datasource. There is a column in the spreadsheet I want to do counts on named F2. I want to use this SQL to perform the counts:
Select Sum(Case When F2 = 'I' then 1 end) as IncidentCount,
Sum(Case When F2 = 'R' then 1 end) as RequestCount,
Sum(Case When F2 = 'P' then 1 end) as ProblemCount
From [Ticket Detail$]
When I hit OK to exit the query designer, I get this error:
ERROR [42000] [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Sum(Case When F2 = 'I' then 1 end)'.
Can I not run this type of SQL against an excel datasource? How can I get the counts I want?
You should be able to handle this fairly easily in SSRS itself through expressions. If you select * from the dataset, you would used an expression like this in your tablix:
=sum(iif(Dataset1!Type.Value="I", 1, 0))
And for a textbox it would look like:
=sum(iif(Fields!Type.Value="I", 1, 0), "Dataset1")

I have a program that has been working for years. Today, we upgraded from SAS 9.4M3 to 9.4M7.
proc setinit
Current version: 9.04.01M7P080520
Since then, I am not able to get the same results as before the upgrade.
Please note that I am querying on Oracle databases directly.
Trying to replicate the issue with a minimal, reproducible SAS table example, I found that the issue disappear when querying on a SAS table instead of on Oracle databases.
Let's say I have the following dataset:
data have;
infile datalines delimiter="|";
input name :$8. id $1. value :$8. t1 :$10.;
datalines;
Joe|A|TLO
Joe|B|IKSK
Joe|C|Yes
;
Using the temporary table:
proc sql;
create table want as
select name,
min(case when id = "A" then value else "" end) as A length 8
from have
group by name;
quit;
Results:
name A
Joe TLO
However, when running the very same query on the oracle database directly I get a missing value instead:
proc sql;
create table want as
select name,
min(case when id = "A" then value else "" end) as A length 8
from have_oracle
group by name;
quit;
name A
Joe
As per documentation, the min() function is behaving properly when used on the SAS table
The MIN function returns a missing value (.) only if all arguments are missing.
I believe this happens when Oracle don't understand the function that SAS is passing it - the min functions in SAS and Oracle are very different and the equivalent in SAS would be LEAST().
So my guess is that the upgrade messed up how is translates the SAS min function to Oracle, but it remains a guess. Does anyone ran into this type of behavior?

From the prepared statement you can see why you are getting a blank from the Oracle query.
select
t1."NAME"
, MIN ( case
when t2."ID" = 'A' then t1."VALUE"
else ' '
end
) as A
from
NAMES t1 inner join IDS t2 on t1."TID" = t2."TID"
group by
t1."NAME"
The SQL MIN () aggregate function will exclude null values from consideration.
In SAS SQL, a blank value is also interpreted as null.
In SAS your SQL query returns the min non-null value TLO
In Oracle transformed query, the SAS blank '' is transformed to ' ' a single blank character, which is not-null, and thus ' ' < 'TLO' and you get the blank result.
The actual MIN you want to force in Oracle is min(case when id = "A" then value else null end) which #Tom has shown is possible by omitting the else clause.
The only way to see the actual difference is to run the query with trace in the prior SAS version, or if lucky, see the explanation in the (ignored by many) "What's New" documents.
Why are you using ' ' or '' as the ELSE value? Perhaps Oracle is treating a string with blanks in it differently than a null string.
Why not use null in the ELSE clause?
or just leave off the ELSE clause and let it default to null?
libname mylib oracle .... ;
proc sql;
create table want as
select name
, min(case when id = "A" then value else null end) as A length 8
from mylib.have_oracle
group by name
;
quit;
Also try running the Oracle code yourself, instead of using implicit pass thru.
proc sql;
connect to oracle ..... ;
create table want as
select * from connection to oracle
(
select name,
min(case when id = "A" then value else null end) as A length 8
from have_oracle
group by name
)
;
quit;
When I try to reproduce this in Oracle I get the result you are looking for so I suspect it has something to do with SAS (which I'm not familiar with).
with t as (
select 'Joe' name, 'A' id, 'TLO' value from dual union all
select 'Joe' name, 'B' id, 'IKSK' value from dual union all
select 'Joe' name, 'C' id, 'Yes' value from dual
)
select name
, min(case when id = 'A' then value else '' end) as a
from t
group by name;
NAME A
---- ----
Joe TLO
Unrelated, if you are only interested in id = 'A' then a better query would be:
select name
, min(value) as a
from t
where id = 'A'
group by name;
I have JPA Native queries to an Oracle database. The only way I know to limit results is using 'rownum' in Oracle, but for some reason, query parser of a jar driver I have to use does not recognize it.
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: An exception occurred when executing the following query: "/* dynamic native SQL query */ SELECT * from SFDC_ACCOUNT A where SBSC_TYP = ? and rownum <= ?". Cause: Invalid column name 'rownum'. On line 1, column 90. [parser-2900650]
com.compositesw.cdms.services.parser.ParserException: Invalid column name 'rownum'. On line 1, column 90. [parser-2900650]
How can I get rid of that?
ANSI Standard would be something like the following
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT
T.*,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY T.COLUMN ORDER BY T.COLUMN) ROWNUM_REPLACE
FROM TABLE T
)
WHERE
1=1
AND ROWNUM_REPLACE < 100
or you could also use the following:
SELECT * FROM TABLE T
ORDER BY T.COLUMN
OFFSET 0 ROWS
FETCH NEXT 100 ROWS ONLY;
I am not an oracle expert. I faced a very strange problem but do not know why this occur.
My query is
SELECT hc.id, hc.owner_name, hc.national_id, hc.phone_no, hc.location, hc.status, hc.expiry_status, od.office_title AS issuer, hc.create_date, hc.email, hc.LATTITUDE, hc.LONGITUDE, hc.HASAD_NO, hc.NUMBERATION, hc.BREEDING_TYPE, hc.PROGENY, hc.office_id, hc.issuer_id, hc.expiry_status, hc.status FROM health_cards hc
LEFT JOIN office_details od ON od.office_id = hc.issuer_id AND od.lang = :lang
WHERE hc.id = :search_data_num OR hc.national_id = :search_data_num or hc.phone_no = :search_data_num OR hc.owner_name LIKE :search_data ORDER BY hc.create_date DESC, hc.id desc OFFSET 0 ROWS FETCH NEXT 50 ROWS ONLY
When i m running this query i m getting following error
ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined
00918. 00000 - "column ambiguously defined"
But if i remove OFFSET 0 ROWS FETCH NEXT 50 ROWS ONLY from my query it work perfectly.
I want to know the reason why this query not working with offset statement.
You have repeated column hc.status.
`select 1 as "A" as "A" from dual` - execute OK;
`select * from (select 1 as "A"
, 2 as "A"
from dual);` - ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined
If you and offset, oracle probably does something similar.
You have the column hc.expiry_status twice in your select list.
The problem is that we allow this in a select list, but not within an inline view. When you add the row limiting clause, Oracle transforms the query and the transformation uses an inline view. There is a bug, 13687511 which is marked as fixed.
Meanwhile, the workaround is to either not select it twice, or alias the column(s).
I am facing an error while incorporating an Oracle query in a SSRS report.
The below mentioned query is supposed to give output from a table TABLE1 on the basis of values selected for twofilters for VAR1 and VAR2. VAR1 must be selected by the user. VAR2(i.e. a date field) by default will show all the results. VAR2 will show results for a particular date if that is selected by the user.
Plesae note that this query runs just fine in Oracle. However, when I execute this code in SSRS, it throws the below mentioned error: "ORA-00920: invalid relational operator"
Would really appreciate any help here.
Select Distinct
VAR1,
VAR2,
AMT_FIELD
From TABLE1 SPF
Where VAR1 = (:prm1)
And (CASE
WHEN ((:PRM2) IS NOT NULL AND VAR2 = (:PRM2)) THEN 1
WHEN ((:PRM2) IS NULL AND VAR2 >= (SELECT min(VAR2) FROM TABLE1 NI Where NI.VAR1 = (:prm1))) THEN 1
ELSE 0
END) = 1 ;
Thanks
I'm struggling with getting a query to work, and I could really use some help. We have an in house app that we use for building small web apps where I work. It's basically a drag and drop GUI. There's functionality built in to access query string values using the key.
I'm passing a comma separated list of values into a page through the query string. I'm then trying to use the list of values as part of an in clause in a query.
I can see that the value is correct in the query string.
orders=1,2,3
Here's the specific part of the query
"AND OrderNumber IN (this is where it maps from the query string)
I've tried running similar queries in Toad, and I think I've found the issue. It's giving an invalid number error, and I think it's wrapping the query string value in single quotes. I can replicate the error when I do "AND OrderNumber IN ('1,2,3')" in Toad.
Here's where I get really confused. The following works in Toad.
"AND OrderNumber IN ('1','2','3')"
So I tried recreating that by doing
select replace('1,2,3', ',', chr(39)||','||chr(39)) from dual;
I have confirmed that returns '1','2','3' in Toad.
However, I still get an Invalid Number error when I run the following in Toad.
AND OrderNumber IN (replace('1,2,3', ',', chr(39)||','||chr(39))
I've been racking my brain over this, and I can't figure it out. It seems to me that if "AND OrderNumber IN ('1','2','3')" works, and replace('1,2,3', ',', chr(39)||','||chr(39)) returns '1','2','3', that "AND OrderNumber IN (replace('1,2,3', ',', chr(39)||','||chr(39))" should work.
Any help you might be able to offer on this would be greatly appreciated. I know the rest of the query works. That's why I didn't post it. I'm just stuck on trying to get this IN clause working.
A change to phonetic_man's answer that will allow for NULL elements in the list. The regex format of '[^,]+' for parsing delimited lists does not handle NULL list elements and will return an incorrect value if one exists and thus its use should be avoided. Change the original by deleting the number 2 for instance and see the results. You will get a '3' in the 2nd element's position! Here's a way that handles the NULL and returns the correct value for the element:
SELECT TRIM(REGEXP_SUBSTR(str, '(.*?)(,|$)', 1, LEVEL, NULL, 1)) str
FROM ( SELECT '1,,3,4' str FROM dual )
connect by level <= regexp_count(str, ',') + 1;
See here for more info and proof: https://stackoverflow.com/a/31464699/2543416
Can you try the following query.
SELECT * FROM orders
WHERE orderno IN
(
SELECT TRIM(REGEXP_SUBSTR(str, '[^,]+', 1, LEVEL)) str
FROM ( SELECT '1,2,3,4' str FROM dual )
CONNECT BY INSTR(str, ',', 1, LEVEL - 1) > 0
)
The inline query splitting the string in different rows. So, on executing it you will get the following result.
SELECT trim(regexp_substr(str, '[^,]+', 1, LEVEL)) str
FROM ( SELECT '1,2,3,4' str FROM dual )
CONNECT BY instr(str, ',', 1, LEVEL - 1) > 0
1
2
3
4
Now, passing this result to the main query IN clause should work.
I think the desired clause to be built is:
AND OrderNumber IN (1,2,3)
A numeric list. The example you tested:
AND OrderNumber IN ('1','2','3')
works because an implicit conversion from a VARCHAR2 to a NUMBER is occurring for each element in the list.
The following clause will not work because no implicit conversion of the string '1,2,3' can be made (note the clause has a single string element):
AND OrderNumber IN ('1,2,3')
When doing a replace, you are converting the single string: 1,2,3 with the single string: 1','2','3 and this single string cannot be implicitly converted to a number.
