Can't understand why this query returns multiple lines with the same data

Hi all
I am a relative novice and self-taught when it comes to SQL. I wrote a query to our reporting tool that returns multiple rows, and I can't understand why. I know that I can use the SELECT DISTINCT option, but it really slows the execution when I do. I'd really rather understand if I can change the code to avoid the multiples. This is the query. I've included a few statements in italics to help explain the break. Any ideas?

SELECT MATSITE, MATPONUM, FIRSTRECPTDATE
Of
Subquery that concludes the first date on which purchase orders have been implemented with ACK State
(SELECT ACKSTAT. PONUM AS 'ACKPONUM', (MIN (ACKSTAT. CHANGEDATE)) AS 'FIRSTACKDATE '.
OF PZMAX. POSTATUS ACKSTAT
WHERE (ACKSTAT. STATE = 'ACK') AND (ACKSTAT.ORGID ='CGSALTUS)
GROUP OF ACKSTAT. PONUM),
Subquery that concludes the first reception against a purchase order transaction for purposes of comparison
(SELECT TRANS. PONUM AS "MATPONUM", TRANS. SITEID AS 'MATSITE', (MIN (TRANS. TRANSDATE)) AS 'FIRSTRECPTDATE '.
OF PZMAX. MATRECTRANS TRANS
WHERE (TRANS.ORGID ='CGSALTUS) AND (TRANS. HOUR > =: startDate and TRANS. TRANSDATE < =: endDate)
TRANS GROUP. SITEID, TRANS. PONUM)
WHERE
(ACKPONUM = MATPONUM AND FIRSTRECPTDATE < FIRSTACKDATE) OR (NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM PZMAX. POSTATUS ACKSTAT2 WHERE (ACKSTAT2. PONUM = MATPONUM) AND (ACKSTAT2. STATE = 'ACK') AND (ACKSTAT2.ORGID ='CGSALTUS)))

The where the instruction is intended to find when one of two conditions exists. ((1) received happened before the command either in ACK or 2) a reception that's happened, but the purchase order is never in ACK State. It seems that this second condition that creates multiple lines.

Any thoughts will be appreciated geratly.

  • Stupid old backpacker (me) cannot understand why this query returns 1 row

    Hi all

    In reference to {: identifier of the thread = 2456973}, why do
    select sum(count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null))) CLERKS
    , sum(count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null))) SALESMANS
    from emp group by job;
    only 1 rank and not 1 for each task? In fact, I had to test it myself to believe.

    It returns the data as if the query were
    select sum(CLERKS), sum(SALESMANS)
    from (select count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null)) CLERKS, count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null)) SALESMANS
             from emp group by job)
    Using only a single aggregate (count or sum) returns 1 row per job, as expected

    Exactly the point ;-)

    It seems that Oracle actually do, a group of 'double' in the same operation.

    There are GROUP BY hash and SORT GLOBAL times.

    It is really unnecessary to an aggregate on an aggregate - if two aggregates are used "in the same group level.
    Sum() aggregates are used on an already aggregated value, so it doesn't look like Oracle which actually cures like 'first do the internal aggregate using the group specified by and then do the external aggregation on the result with any group.'

    Look at this example where I combine aggregates "double" with "single" aggregates:

    SQL> select sum(count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null))) CLERKS
      2       , sum(count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null))) SALESMANS

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    

    When you mix "doubles" and "single" aggregates, Oracle decides that unique aggregates belong to the 'outer' aggregation
    SALESMAN2 did a count on the aggregated work column which is the result of the 'internal' group by - so only 1.
    The count (*) is also the result of the aggregation of the 'internal '.

    I don't know if it's documented or if it is an 'effect' of internal code used for GROUPING SETS or the internal code used to enable the analytical functions like this:

    SQL> select count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null)) CLERKS
      2       , count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null)) SALESMANS
      3       , sum(count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null))) over () CLERKS2

    Personally, I think that I would have preferred if Oracle has raised an error on this "double aggregation" and therefore require me to write this way (if it's the result I wanted):

    select sum(CLERKS), sum(SALESMANS)
    from (select count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null)) CLERKS, count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null)) SALESMANS
             from emp group by job)
    

    I don't really see a good use case for aggregations of 'double'-, but rather that he could give you undetected bugs in your code, if you happen to do double aggregation without noticing.

    Interesting thing to know ;-)

  • Multiple accounts with the same email

    I have an account I can not connect to after my daughter it has disconnected. I tried to reset the password, but I get an email on my account to other girls: S (same email)
    I guess I have 3 accounts with the same email, but only the latter can created recover!
    Not even my main Skype has a chance

    I'm not 100% sure but it is most likely that I used the same email to whoever I have to reset - what can I do?

    In fact, this morning I managed to log on to the account of an iPad without frills but the pc refuses to sign ^ ^ ^? "Skype cannot connect" - what is happening?

    I also discovered that I could connect via a browser, but not via the Skype program... So I uninstalled and installed again and it's working now...
    I've now changed the email so I have 3 accounts with the same email address as Skype seems not to be able to manage multiple accounts with the same email!

  • 3070 connectivity problem - multiple Accespoints with the same SSID

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my printer HP Deskjet 3070 printer all-in-one.

    I have 2 accespoints with the same SSID for better coverage of the pit of the wireless home network.

    For some reason any my HP printer keeps losing wireless connection when the 2 accespoints are rising.

    I use a different frequency for the 2 accespoints channel and it works fine with all other wireless devices.

    I did that a DHCP are used, r, but in fact it doesn't matter because the printer uses a static IP (192.168.0.3)

    When the two AP is the printer loses wirelesss connectivity. (The blue led will blink)

    If I take one of the accespoints offline, the printer becomes available.

    Is this a problem on my end or a problem of software/firmware printer?

    Kind regards

  • How to open multiple files with the same extension in one program from the Explorer

    I frequently receive several JPG (or whatever extension) files to my clients.  On Windows XP, I could just highlight the files I want to open, and then click Open.  They would be so open to 1 program cascading.  This made it easy when comparing many images.  If I do the same thing in Windows 7, it opens the default program several times and puts 1 image of each open program.  It is Paint Shop Pro in my case.  Thus, instead of so-called images 5 open cascading in Paint Shop Pro... the computer open Paint Shop Pro 5 times with 1 image of each open version of the program.  I tried this search like crazy, but cannot find the right thread for an answer.  Most of the threads are on the opening of the different file types.  My question is only about the opening of multiple files with the same exact file inside 1 free program extension.

    Is this the same version of Paint Shop?

    One thing you might try is to open Paint Shop, then select and drag all the files in this window of the paint shop.  Various programs to manage this type of action differently from the DDE, but it might give you the expected results.

  • Multiple images with the same file name no doubt prevent export

    iMac running OS X El Capitan v10.11.6; Photos 1.5

    I'm trying to export approximately 331 images and I get an error report saying that only 169 of the exported images due to the inability to create files for 159 of the images.  Then the report gives me the names of files of the first 100 images for which files were not created.  After looking at many images that would not create a file, I realized that, in any case, there was at least one, if not several, other images with the SAME EXACT FILE name as the image in question.  I can't change the names of files by right click on "info".  I tried to export the images and change the names of files to export using the sequential option and the option of album name - always having exactly the same problem.  I even tried not to export an image at once and change the name of the file individually or no available. Is there a work around that? I desperately need to export those specific images. I am trying to create a photo album for shown to mothers who choose a family with which you want to place their child/ren for adoption. I'm at my wit's end.  The kicker is I'm moving towards trying to export all my pictures, and that's going to be a HUGE problem in course for me, so I really hope that there is a way around this question somewhat simply. I am a hobby photographer and use the computer for businesses and crafts.  I've seen a few posts that included answers referencing "AppleScript" - I have no idea how to do something like that.

    From here on I will DEFINITELY ensure that my Canon continually numbers the names of image files and automatically resets.  For the other photos other than Canon, is possible to rename images during the import of the lot?

    All advice and help will be GREATLY appreciated!

    Finder has the ability to rename files with various models of lot.  Simply select all the files to rename, right-click one of the selected files, choose 'Rename X points... '. ", and then set the options and click on the button"Rename ".

  • Can I use 63-bit Win 7 Home base with the same product key that I used for 32 - bit?

    1 I have win7 64 bit with licesence version hombasic. And now I use homebasic 32bits and 64bits format and install with the same key... So I jst want to know that this process can damage my computer laptop operating system? or there is no problem whatever I did!.

    Original title: Win7

    Well, it will damage her, just that you will not run the 64-bit version, which means, if you have more than 4 GB of RAM installed, Windows 7 Home Basic 32 bit will not support it.

    You should also check that the manufacturer of your computer is using 32-bit drivers for your computer.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".
