• Help with making SQL query references to column aliases in the Case statement

  I need help with a sql query that I'm trying. I can go about it the wrong way, but I would be grateful if I could get any suggestions on possible solutions. This is my query:
  
  
  SELECT DISTINCT spriden_pidm, spriden_id id, spriden_last_name | ',' | spriden_first_name name,

  «0000000000', ' 1111111111 ","John Doe","268", «rigorous HS race"»
  
  If I take the second case statement it works great except that I do not have my comm_code description column. My question is how can I use my first statement value box to determine this column? I think that I need a case statement as I have, but I don't know how to reference the value of acg_elig_comm_code. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Hello

  You cannot use the alias column in the query, even where it is set (except in the ORDER BY clause).
  You can set the alias in a subquery and then use it in a great query, like this:

  WITH  sub_q  AS
  (
      SELECT DISTINCT spriden_pidm,spriden_id id, spriden_last_name||', '||spriden_first_name name,
          CASE

              WHEN rcresar_comm_code_02 IN ('268','269','270') THEN rcresar_comm_code_02
              WHEN rcresar_comm_code_03 IN ('268','269','270') THEN rcresar_comm_code_03
              WHEN rcresar_comm_code_04 IN ('268','269','270') THEN rcresar_comm_code_04
              WHEN rcresar_comm_code_05 IN ('268','269','270') THEN rcresar_comm_code_05
              WHEN rcresar_comm_code_06 IN ('268','269','270') THEN rcresar_comm_code_06
              WHEN rcresar_comm_code_07 IN ('268','269','270') THEN rcresar_comm_code_07

  Furthermore, you might think to rearrange your table, so that you do not have 10 columns (rcresar_comm_code_01, rcresar_comm_code_02,...) that essentially do the same thing. The usual way to handle this kind of one-to-many relationship is to have all rcresar_comm_codes in a separate table, one per line, with a pointer to the table where you have them now.

• Help with the insert statement

  Hello
  
  I was wondering if someone could help write me a sql statement.
  
  Here is my table:
  

  CREATE TABLE "TEMP_INVOICE" 
     ("INVOICE" VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
       "DATE_OF_DOCUMENT" DATE, 
       "DATE_OF_PAY_DAY" DATE, 
       "D" NUMBER, 
       "K" NUMBER
     );

  Here are the instructions for correct insertion. This time, I posted 2 examples with 2 numbers different otherwise.

  insert into temp_invoice (invoice,DATE_OF_DOCUMENT,DATE_OF_PAY_DAY,d,k)  values (1000,to_date('01.02.2012','dd.mm.yyyy'),to_date('01.03.2012','dd.mm.yyyy'),5000,0);
   
  insert into temp_invoice (invoice,DATE_OF_DOCUMENT,DATE_OF_PAY_DAY,d,k)  values (1000,to_date('01.04.2012','dd.mm.yyyy'),'','',1000);
   
  insert into temp_invoice (invoice,DATE_OF_DOCUMENT,DATE_OF_PAY_DAY,d,k)  values (1000,to_date('01.05.2012','dd.mm.yyyy'),'','',3000);
   
  insert into temp_invoice (invoice,DATE_OF_DOCUMENT,DATE_OF_PAY_DAY,d,k)  values (1000,to_date('01.06.2012','dd.mm.yyyy'),'','',1000);
  
  insert into temp_invoice (invoice,DATE_OF_DOCUMENT,DATE_OF_PAY_DAY,d,k)  values (2000,to_date('01.07.2012','dd.mm.yyyy'),to_date('01.09.2012','dd.mm.yyyy'),8000,0);
   
  insert into temp_invoice (invoice,DATE_OF_DOCUMENT,DATE_OF_PAY_DAY,d,k)  values (2000,to_date('01.10.2012','dd.mm.yyyy'),'','',5000);
   
  insert into temp_invoice (invoice,DATE_OF_DOCUMENT,DATE_OF_PAY_DAY,d,k)  values (2000,to_date('01.11.2012','dd.mm.yyyy'),'','',2000);
   
  insert into temp_invoice (invoice,DATE_OF_DOCUMENT,DATE_OF_PAY_DAY,d,k)  values (2000,to_date('01.12.2012','dd.mm.yyyy'),'','',1000);

  I want to do is make an insert allows you to table another call is MADE:
  

  CREATE TABLE "INVOICE" 
     ("INVOICE" VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
      "DATE_OF_DOCUMENT" DATE, 
       "DATE_OF_PAY_DAY" DATE,
       "DATE_OF_PAYMENT_REC" DATE,
       "VALUE" NUMBER,
       "VALUE_DEDUCT" NUMBER,
      "DATE_FROM" DATE,     
       "DATE_TO" DATE
       );

  Statements in the INVOICE table should be like this:
  
  
  ........ The Bill... date_of_document... date_of_pay_day... date_of_payment_rec... value... value_deduct... Date_from... Date_to
  1......     1000...............1.1.2012.................1.3.2012................NULL............................ 5000... NULL... 1.3.2012...1.4.2012
  2......     1000...............1.4.2012.................NULL..................... 1.4.2012...1000... 4000... 2.4.2012... 1.5.2012
  3......     1000...............1.5.2012.................NULL..................... 1.5.2012...3000... 1000... 2.5.2012... 1.6.2012
  4......     1000...............1.6.2012.................NULL..................... 1.6.2012...1000
  
  
  Can someone help me with the sql statement that would insert data from table to table Bill temp_invoice as in the example?
  
  Thank you!
  
  PS
  
  I would try to explain.
  (1) the first statement that is to be inserted is original imply that at which is different DATE_OF_PAY_DAY to NULL.
  To this inserted negative of the original imply, we must add date_from that is exatly the same date_of_pay_day and date_to which is exactly the same as the date of the first payment. Payment which came first!
  (2) we have now in the second insert statement. It will be the first payment of lease with date_of_document and date_pf_payment_rec, which is the same as date_fo_document. Value field will be populated with the amount of payment received and value_deduct field will be the value of the original imply - value of the first payment. Date is date_of_document + 1 and date_to is the date of the next payment.
  (3) Insert us the next installment. Date_od_payment_rec is the same as date_of_document... value is the amount of the second payment and value_deduct's previous value_deduct which was of 4000 - value of this second payment. date_from date_of_payment_rec + 1 and date_to is the date of the next payment
  
  So we continue this same pattern until we reached the final payment when we finish insert with the statement:
  Date of the document (date of the last payment received) and even for date_of_payment_rec and field value with the amount of the payment receieved. The rest (value_deduct, date_from, date_to) is null.
  
  I really hope you understand what I'm trying to do here.
  
  If you have any other questions please.

  Ok!
  Be sure to post the results you want new data.

  You probably need to add "PARTITION BY the Bill" to all analytical clauses in my solution:

  INSERT INTO invoice
  ( invoice, date_of_document, date_of_pay_day, date_of_payment_rec
  , value,   value_deduct,     date_from,           date_to
  )
  SELECT       invoice
  ,       date_of_document
  ,       date_of_pay_day
  ,       CASE
             WHEN  k > 0
             THEN  date_of_document
         END          AS date_of_payment_rec
  ,       NVL (d, k)     AS value
  ,       NVL2 ( date_of_pay_day
              , NULL
              , SUM (d) OVER ( PARTITION BY  invoice
                                        ORDER BY      date_of_document
                       )
              - SUM (k) OVER ( PARTITION BY  invoice
                                        ORDER BY      date_of_document
                       )
              )     AS value_deduct
  ,       NVL ( date_of_pay_day
             , date_of_document + 1
             )          AS date_from
  ,       LEAD (date_of_document) OVER ( PARTITION BY  invoice
                                          ORDER BY      date_of_document
                             )
                        AS date_to
  FROM       temp_invoice
  ;
  

  Because I'm not an English speaker nativ, that I just posted what it should look like after the insert is successful.

  OK, so you can't explain as you want, but you still need to explain.

  ... @Frank Kulash: you are very close, but still not quite what I'm looking for.

  Point out where my solution is the production of incorrect results, and explain (as you can) how to get good results in these places.

• need help with the Update statement

  Hello
  I received a question in a course and I tried my best to respond, and now my brain is giving. I would really appreciate help with the update statement. I don't mind if you do not validate a solution, a little nudge in the right direction would be really useful. I'll post that I got.
  
  THE QUESTION
  / * For these agents disabled on more than seven missions, change their date of deactivation of the first date of deactivation of all the agents that have been activated in the same year as the agent that you update currently.
  */
  
  I have it divided into parts, here is my select statement to agents disabled on more than 7 missions, which produces the deactivation_dates in the agents table that I want to update...

  SELECT
  s.deactivation_date
  FROM
  (
  SELECT
  a.deactivation_date,
  count(m.mission_id) as nomissions
  FROM
  agents a
  INNER JOIN
  missions_agents m
  on
  a.agent_id=m.agent_id
  GROUP BY
  a.deactivation_date
  ) s
  WHERE
  s.nomissions>7 AND s.deactivation_date IS NOT NULL

  .. .and the code for the first date of deactivation for each year of activation agent

  select 
  a2.deactivation_date
  from
  agents a2
  where a2.deactivation_date= 
  (
  select min(a.deactivation_date)
  from 
  agents a
  where to_number(to_char(a.activation_date,'YYYY'))=to_number(to_char(a2.activation_date,'YYYY'))
  )

  ..... I am not real to marry these two statements together in the Update statement. I can't extract each date of deactivation produced in the first select statement and their match against the first date of deactivation in the year they have been activated for the second select statement.
  
  Any help greatly appreciated... :))

  I began to wonder how things would :)

  First of all why he chooses the date the earliest of all agents

  )
  

  He recovers as soon as the subquery has not been correctly set in the SET clause. It seems you are trying to update a correlated, but we are still having a conceptual shift. I have added a few comments to your code above and below will explain.

  (1): when you do a correlated update it is useful to the table alias that you did right here.

  (2): this table statement is not necessary and is the reason why the FIRST deactivation date is selected. The alias that you use (3) refers to THIS table, not the one defined in the update statement. Remove the line indicated by (2) in the FROM clause and a correlated update will happen.

  and secondly why is it to update each row, when I thought that I'm just the lines where the agents are disabled and missions > 7? Pointers on where I'm wrong would be very appreciated. (SQL = stupid query language!) :)

  user8695469 wrote: then why is it to update each row, when I thought that I'm just the lines where the agents are disabled and missions > 7? Pointers on where I'm wrong would be very appreciated. (SQL = stupid query language!) :)

  
  WHERE EXISTS
  (
  SELECT
  a.agent_id,
  count(m.mission_id)
  FROM
  agents a
  /* INNER JOIN AC ON AC.AGENT_ID = A.AGENT_ID */
  INNER JOIN
  missions_agents m
  ON
  a.agent_id=m.agent_id
  GROUP BY
  a.agent_id,
  a.deactivation_date
  HAVING
  count(m.mission_id)>7 AND a.deactivation_date IS NOT NULL
  )
  

  Once again this problem is similar to the question above that a correlation update doesn't work. Test existence of lines in an EXISTS subquery. Since your subquery is not related to the table that you are trying to update, it will be always return a line and, therefore, it returns true for EACH LINE in the AGENTS table. To limit the game to only agents > 7 missions results, you need to add a join condition that references the table in your update statement. I added one above (with comments) as a sample.

  I recommend you look over all material that you have associated with correlated subqueries, including documents that I posted above. This seems to be what you're having the problem more with. If you need me to explain the concept of correlated queries any better please let me know.

  Thank you!

  The 'X' is wildcard character elements * (I inherit it and I can not change the table format) * I would like to make a query as follows
  
  

  select tuid from test01 where fund= '100000' and org= '67130'

  However I like to do is to retrieve all the records that have have these segments in them including ' x
  in other words the output expected here would be
  
  

  "TUID"                        "FUND"                        "ORG"                         
  "9102416AB"                   "1XXXXX"                      "6XXXXX"

  "566653456"                   "xxxxxx"                      "xxxxx"  

  I started to write a massive sql statement that would have the 12 as the instruction inside, because I must compare the org and finance every possible way.
  This is where im headed. but im wondering if there is a better way.
  

  select * from test02
  where fund = '100000' and org = '67130'
  or fund like '1%' and org like '6%'
  or fund like '1%' and org like '67%'
  or fund like '1%' and org like '671%'
  or fund like '1%' and org like '6713%'
  or fund like '1%' and org like '67130'
  or fund like '10%' and org like '6%'...etc
  
  /*seems like there should be a better way..*/

  can someone give me a hand to come with this sql statement...

  the last item should be excluded. The second digit in "org" is a "7".

  Fund is bad, too. Looking for 6 characters ("100000"), but the funds on this line is 7 characters ("1XXXXXX").

  and it's always get picked up.

  That's why you should use the Joker _ instead of %

  select  tuid, fund, org
  from    test01
  where  '100000' like translate (fund, 'xX', '__')
  and    '67130'  like translate (org,  'xX', '__')
  ;
  

  It is difficult to see, but in two calls to TRANSLATE, the 3rd argument is a string 2 ' _.

• Need help with PL/SQL so and then select

  Hello guys, I am new to the PL/SQl programming (only Java experience) and I'm pretty stuck to my task. It would be great if you could help me. I am in programming with Oracle SQL * Plus Version 10.2.0.3.0

  Whenever a user logs on to the server a database entry is created with information about the logged-on user. I need to create a PL/SQL command that selects all the information from last month. Unfortunately, the date_stamp column has a certain weird format: 1131210 for December 10, 2013

  
  

  My idea so far:
  

  
  

  DECLARE

  v_today NUMBER;

  BEGIN

  v_today: = TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'MM'));       -Save the number of the month (e.g.12) in v_today

  IF v_today = 01 THEN

  SELECT * from audittrl

  WHERE the date_stamp between 1131201 AND the 1131231;

  ELSIF v_today = 02 THEN

  SELECT * from audittrl

  WHERE the date_stamp between the 1130131 AND 1130101;

  .......

  END IF;

  END;

  /

  Error code: "an INTO clause in this SELECT statement.

  I do not want to save the result to select a variable, hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Thanks, I'll try that, if still get caught once, I'll be back. Anway I'm not sure of the solution of Chris227, because I can't test it right now. From my point of view it gives you information the current month (e.g., December) and not the month previous (-online November), or have I missed something. ?

  You are right.  In addition, it does not for a given year.  If you have data from several years in the table, it will select lines for the month of December 2012, 2011, 2010,... but also of 2013.

  Here's a way to get around that:

  DECLARE

  prev_month_start PLS_INTEGER: = TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE-1)

  , "YYMM"1' "01"

  )

  );

  this_month_start PLS_INTEGER: = TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (SYSDATE

  , "YYMM"1' "01"

  )

  );

  BEGIN
  FOR (IN) rec
  SELECT *.
  Of audittrl
  WHERE the date_stamp > = prev_month_start
  AND date_stamp< >
  ORDER BY user_id, date_stamp - or other

  )
  LOOP
  dbms_output.put_line (rec.date_stamp);
  dbms_output.put_line (rec.event);
  dbms_output.put_line (rec.user_id)
  dbms_output.put_line (rec.host_name);
  END LOOP;
  END;

  This should also be more effective, because it will allow the optimizer to use an index on date_stamp.  Even if there is no index, it will be more effective because it avoids calling any function (for example, SUBSTR) on each line of the table.

  You needn't PL/SQL to get these results.  Just use SQL, you might say:

  SELECT event, host_name, user_id and date_stamp
  Of audittrl
  WHERE the date_stamp > = TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE-1)
  , "YYMM"1' "01"
  )
  )
  AND date_stamp<  to_number="" (="" to_char="" (="" sysdate="" to_number="" (="" to_char="" (="">

  
  , "YYMM"1' "01"
  )
  )

  ORDER BY user_id, date_stamp - or other

  ;

  Your front end will provide column headers and touch the data so that the columns line up.  It can also set the output to a file.  (For example, if your front-end is SQL * Plus, you can use the command of the COIL.)

  I guess date_stamp is a NUMBER.  If it is a string, the solutions above can be simplified a bit.

  This problem (and many other problems) would be so much simpler if date_stamp was a DATE column.  Using numbers or strings to store the date information is simply asking for trouble.

• Need help with the insert statement

  Hello
  
  I have a question on how to write a SQL statement.
  
  This is the table of "base":
  

  CREATE TABLE TEMP_TBL
  (
  id_nr NUMBER,
  DATE_DOK DATE,
  DATE_DUE DATE,
  DATE_DOK_PAY DATE,
  DEB NUMBER,
  KRD NUMBER
  );
  
  insert into temp_tbl (ID_NR,DATE_DOK,DATE_DUE,DATE_DOK_PAY,DEB,KRD)values('1',TO_DATE('11.01.2011','DD.MM.YYYY'),TO_DATE('25.02.2011','DD.MM.YYYY'),NULL,'423,24','0');
  insert into temp_tbl(ID_NR,DATE_DOK,DATE_DUE,DATE_DOK_PAY,DEB,KRD)values('2',TO_DATE('16.12.2011','DD.MM.YYYY'),TO_DATE('13.06.2011','DD.MM.YYYY'),NULL,'91270,15','0');
  insert into temp_tbl(ID_NR,DATE_DOK,DATE_DUE,DATE_DOK_PAY,DEB,KRD)values('3',TO_DATE('27.09.2011','DD.MM.YYYY'),TO_DATE('27.09.2011','DD.MM.YYYY'),NULL,'0','2000');

  and it comes to resoult in the target table. SQL statement must take care of the insert in a base of the target table table (example below is already provided with test data).
  

  create table table_sod
  (
  
        id_nr number
       ,date_from date
       ,date_to date
       ,deb_krd number
  
  );
  
  One thing to note here :  values in column deb_krd under insert 1 and 4 must be summarized in insert 4.
  
  insert into table_sod (id_nr,date_from,date_to,deb_krd) values('1',null,to_date('25.02.2011','dd.mm.yyyy'),'423,24');
  insert into table_sod(id_nr,date_from,date_to,deb_krd) values('2',to_date('26.02.2011','dd.mm.yyyy'),to_date('13.06.2011','dd.mm.yyyy'),'423,24');
  insert into table_sod(id_nr,date_from,date_to,deb_krd)values('3',null,to_date('13.06.2011','dd.mm.yyyy'),'91270,15');
  insert into table_sod(id_nr,date_from,date_to,deb_krd)values('4',to_date('14.06.2011','dd.mm.yyyy')to_date('27.09.2011','dd.mm.yyyy'),'91693,39');
  insert into table_sod(id_nr,date_from,date_to,deb_krd)values('5',null,to_date('27.09.2011','dd.mm.yyyy'),'2000');

• Date range of calculation with the SQL statement

  I'm sure that there is a way to do this in SQL, but I can't understand it. I can write a PL/SQL script to do it, but prefer to use a SQL statement. My database is the database of Oracle 10.2.0.4.0.
  
  I have a table that contains information such as employee number, service id, and date effective start-up of the person in this Department. There are data in another table I want to update their department number in based on their date of entry in the range. If I could figure out how to correctly select the entry into force, I can do the rest.
  
  I have data such as:
  EMP_ID DEPT_NO EFFECTIVE
  -------------- ----------------- ---------------------
  101 1000 1/15 / 2001
  1050 101 5/24 / 2005
  101 2010 6/8/2008
  101 1000 8/2/2010
  
  I want to write a SELECT statement that returns something like this where the end_date is the eve of the ENTRY into force and the last record didn't an end_date because they are always assigned to this service. In addition, the first record in the column, I won't choose a DEPT_NO because the logic of the entry into force has been added in January 2001, he says if a person started in 1985 they might have zero departments at several times so I won't update all data for this period:
  
  EMP_ID DEPT_NO EFFECTIVE END_DATE
  --------------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------
  101 1/14 / 2001
  101 1000 1/15 / 2001 5/23/2005
  1050 101 5/24 / 2005 6/7/2008
  101 2010 6/8/2008-8/1/2010
  101 1000 8/2/2010
  
  Here is a script to create the data into a temporary table which can be used to write a SELECT statement. I added two records of employees with different dates.
  
  create the table temp_activity
  (emp_id number (12),)
  dept_no number (12).
  (entry into force);
  
  INSERT INTO temp_activity
  (EMP_ID, DEPT_NO, ENTERED INTO FORCE)
  VALUES
  (101,1000,to_date('1/15/2001','MM/DD/YYYY'))
  /
  INSERT INTO temp_activity
  (EMP_ID, DEPT_NO, ENTERED INTO FORCE)
  VALUES
  (101,1050,to_date('5/24/2005','MM/DD/YYYY'))
  /
  INSERT INTO temp_activity
  (EMP_ID, DEPT_NO, ENTERED INTO FORCE)

  I'm launching SQL queries on the table in this topic.
  
  I want to write a SQL query that returns me the name of a topic (s) and the number of blog_post (s) associated with the topic in descending order of the number of blog posts created in July.
  
  Can someone please help me to write this query?
  
  Thank you

• I need help in the sql statement

  Hi all
  im working in the hr schema
  I need sql statement to answer my question
  I need information to all employees
  where average wage = average wage department 50
  Sorry I can't speak English very well
  I thank all

  There is no need to do so in the two motions. All you need is:

  select  *
    from  (
           select  e.*,
                   avg(case department_id when 50 then salary end) over() dept_50_avg_sal
             from  hr.employees e
          )
    where salary <= dept_50_avg_sal
  /

• Additional help for a SQL statement.

  I am needing help with a query related to one I got the help of yesterday. In this case, I have a table tasks are assigned to a task owner. Each task has an opening and a closing date - in some cases, tasks, closing date is null because the task is not yet complete.
  
  I am running Oracle Database 10 g Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64 bit Production.
  
  It is an example of the data available in my table.

  CREATE TABLE     table_x
  (       owner_nm       VARCHAR2 (10)
  ,       task_nm        VARCHAR2 (10)
  ,       open_dt        DATE
  ,       closed_dt      DATE

  INSERT INTO table_x (owner_nm, task_nm, open_dt, closed_dt) VALUES ('Curly', 'task b', DATE '2010-04-18', DATE '2010-10-14');
  INSERT INTO table_x (owner_nm, task_nm, open_dt, closed_dt) VALUES ('Moe',   'task a', DATE '2010-01-01', DATE '2010-12-01');

  INSERT INTO table_x (owner_nm, task_nm, open_dt, closed_dt) VALUES ('Larry', 'task d', DATE '2010-11-01', DATE NULL);

  I'm looking for the result set is a table that displays the total number of jobs open for each owner over time. If a task is not yet completed, the task should show as active all the way up to the date on which the query is executed. For example, if I run the query today, any task that has a null closed_dt value would be in the open_dt up to the current date.
  
  Here is an example of how I need to see my data in the above table.

  OWNER_NM    YEAR JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC
  ---------- ----- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
  Curly       2010   0   0   0   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   0   0
  Larry       2011   1   1   1   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0
  Larry       2010   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   1   1
  Moe         2011   2   1   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0
  Moe         2010   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   2   2   3

  Yesterday, I received the help of [Frank Kulash | http://forums.oracle.com/forums/profile.jspa?userID=627845], I was close to what I need. This is a variant of the query that Frank came with.

  WITH     got_month_cnt          AS

       SELECT  owner_nm
       ,     TRUNC (open_dt, 'MONTH')     AS first_month
       ,     1 + MONTHS_BETWEEN ( TRUNC (closed_dt, 'MONTH')

  FROM       all_months
  GROUP BY  owner_nm
  ,       EXTRACT (YEAR FROM open_month)
  ORDER BY  owner_nm, year desc
  ,            year
  ;

  It is so close, but I need to make two changes to the addititional I've not been able to understand. (1) I can not understand how to summarize the months which overlap that occur in my data. (2) I have not been able to find a way consider the records containing nulls in the closed_dt field - in this case, I need them to count up to the current date.
  
  Thanks in advance for your time and your insight into this problem.
  
  David.

  Hi, David,.

  As John said, you will need to use NVL (or COALESCE) assimilate closed_dts NULL with SYSDATE.
  Aside from that, all you have to do is to use the SUM (rather than MAX) by rotating the data in the main query:

  WITH     got_month_cnt          AS
  (
       SELECT  owner_nm
       ,     TRUNC (open_dt, 'MONTH')     AS first_month
       ,     1 + MONTHS_BETWEEN ( TRUNC (NVL ( closed_dt          -- Changed (3 lines)
                                            , SYSDATE
                                )    , 'MONTH')
                           , TRUNC (open_dt,   'MONTH')
                         )          AS month_cnt
       FROM    table_x
         WHERE owner_nm in ('Curly', 'Moe', 'Larry')
  )
  ,     cntr     AS
  (
       SELECT     LEVEL     AS n
       FROM     (
                 SELECT  MAX (month_cnt)     AS max_month_cnt
                 FROM     got_month_cnt
            )
       CONNECT BY     LEVEL     <= max_month_cnt
  )
  ,     all_months     AS
  (
       SELECT     m.owner_nm
       ,     ADD_MONTHS ( m.first_month
                    , c.n - 1
                    )          AS open_month
       FROM     got_month_cnt     m
       JOIN     cntr          c  ON     c.n     <= m.month_cnt
  )
  SELECT       owner_nm
  ,       EXTRACT (YEAR FROM open_month)                         AS year
  ,       SUM (CASE WHEN TO_CHAR (open_month, 'Mon') = 'Jan' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)     AS jan     -- Changed (12 lines)
  ,       SUM (CASE WHEN TO_CHAR (open_month, 'Mon') = 'Feb' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)     AS feb
  ,       SUM (CASE WHEN TO_CHAR (open_month, 'Mon') = 'Mar' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)     AS mar
  ,       SUM (CASE WHEN TO_CHAR (open_month, 'Mon') = 'Apr' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)     AS apr
  ,       SUM (CASE WHEN TO_CHAR (open_month, 'Mon') = 'May' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)     AS may
  ,       SUM (CASE WHEN TO_CHAR (open_month, 'Mon') = 'Jun' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)     AS jun
  ,       SUM (CASE WHEN TO_CHAR (open_month, 'Mon') = 'Jul' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)     AS jul
  ,       SUM (CASE WHEN TO_CHAR (open_month, 'Mon') = 'Aug' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)     AS aug
  ,       SUM (CASE WHEN TO_CHAR (open_month, 'Mon') = 'Sep' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)     AS sep
  ,       SUM (CASE WHEN TO_CHAR (open_month, 'Mon') = 'Oct' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)     AS oct
  ,       SUM (CASE WHEN TO_CHAR (open_month, 'Mon') = 'Nov' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)     AS nov
  ,       SUM (CASE WHEN TO_CHAR (open_month, 'Mon') = 'Dec' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)     AS dec
  FROM       all_months
  GROUP BY  owner_nm
  ,       EXTRACT (YEAR FROM open_month)
  ORDER BY  owner_nm
  ,            year     DESC
  --,          year          -- No point in repeating the same column
  ;
  

  In the sample data, you must meant:

  INSERT INTO table_x (owner_nm, task_nm, open_dt, closed_dt) VALUES ('Larry', 'task d', DATE '2010-11-01',  NULL);
  

  You can INSERT NULL in any column type: DATE, VARCHAR2, NUMBER or anything else. You don't have to distinguish the DATEs NULL NULL numbers.

  If we can mark questions as 'Correct', you will get 10 points for sure. Some people use this forum for years and have said several times how to ask a question, but yet have not learned. Keep up the good work!

• help automate an UPDATE with PL/SQL statement

  Hello, I'm on 10g R2, I am trying to learn PL/SQL, got a few books, watch YouTube videos and other things as best practices and etc. I wanted to automate this SQL:
  
  Basically every month I have to update a lot of old paintings against the current months Table.
  
  Old Table = your
  New Table = tt
  
  I thought maybe I can put anything in a list (like a table) and list all the old tables in there for your, I have 26 far and every month I add + 1.
  
  The tt table is only one, that's why I thought I could automate only inside a loop?
  

  UPDATE OLDER_TABLE_DATE ta
  
   SET (ta.GTP, ta.UPDATE_DT) = 
       (SELECT tt.GTP, SYSDATE
        FROM NEWEST_TABLE_UPDATED tt
        WHERE ta.customer_id = tt.customer_id
        AND ta.STAMP_DATE = tt.STAMP_DATE)
  
  WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1
          FROM NEWEST_TABLE_UPDATED tt
          WHERE ta.customer_id = tt.customer_id
          AND ta.STAMP_DATE = tt.STAMP_DATE
          AND (NVL(ta.GTP, 'X') != NVL(tt.GTP, 'X')));
          
  COMMIT;

  What do you think guys? example or help would be appreciated. I can run this as an anonymous block for now, it is very good, thanks!

  Assumptions: -.
  -Your old/new all the tables are in the same schema.
  -Their names have the word "more ANCIENT".
  -You can run the procedure of the same pattern where all the tables of the old and the new spell.

  NOTE:-handle exceptions in the code accordingly, for example, when the update fails then handle exceptions.
  -As mentioned previously, this approach does not sound very well. Change in design to a single table (partition on month) stores all monthly data will be a good solution.
