• Select only records where the column values are not all equal to zero

  Hi everyone, it seems so easy, but it has left me speechless on the research in a way that is clean, easy to achieve. I know when someone replies, I'm going to kick me. So, let's assume this is what I have:
  

  with mytable as (
  select 'Type 1' as itemtype, 'JAN' as monthname, 0 as theval from dual union all
  select 'Type 1' as itemtype, 'FEB' as monthname, 1 as theval from dual union all
  select 'Type 1' as itemtype, 'MAR' as monthname, 5 as theval from dual union all
  select 'Type 1' as itemtype, 'APR' as monthname, 1 as theval from dual union all
  select 'Type 1' as itemtype, 'MAY' as monthname, 4 as theval from dual union all
  select 'Type 1' as itemtype, 'JUL' as monthname, 0 as theval from dual union all
  select 'Type 1' as itemtype, 'AUG' as monthname, 0 as theval from dual union all
  select 'Type 1' as itemtype, 'SEP' as monthname, 1 as theval from dual union all
  select 'Type 1' as itemtype, 'OCT' as monthname, 7 as theval from dual union all
  select 'Type 1' as itemtype, 'NOV' as monthname, 1 as theval from dual union all
  select 'Type 1' as itemtype, 'DEC' as monthname, 2 as theval from dual union all
  
  select 'Type 2' as itemtype, 'JAN' as monthname, 0 as theval from dual union all
  select 'Type 2' as itemtype, 'FEB' as monthname, 0 as theval from dual union all
  select 'Type 2' as itemtype, 'MAR' as monthname, 0 as theval from dual union all
  select 'Type 2' as itemtype, 'APR' as monthname, 0 as theval from dual union all
  select 'Type 2' as itemtype, 'MAY' as monthname, 0 as theval from dual union all
  select 'Type 2' as itemtype, 'OCT' as monthname, 0 as theval from dual union all
  select 'Type 2' as itemtype, 'NOV' as monthname, 0 as theval from dual union all
  select 'Type 2' as itemtype, 'DEC' as monthname, 0 as theval from dual
  )
  select
    itemtype,
    sum (case monthname when 'JAN' then theval else 0 end) as JAN,
    sum (case monthname when 'FEB' then theval else 0 end) as FEB,

    sum (case monthname when 'DEC' then theval else 0 end) as DEC
  from mytable
  group by itemtype
  order by itemtype

  I need an external application around it or something which will select only 'Type 1'... that is, if all months are each equal to zero, do not include the record in the result set.
  
  In summary to get a total of zero is not an option, because I could have-15 and + 15 in different columns, in which case, the recording should be displayed.
  
  Something as simple as... 'not the case (oct = 0 and 0 nov and dec = 0...) at the end is all it seems to me necessary. I thought to add a case for each column clause, but that seems not very effective. Ideas?
  
  Thanks in advance!

  Edit... I know not what follows will work using the MINUS operator, but my actual query is really huge, and I don't want to have to write it twice...

  sum (case when monthname 'FEB', then Val 0 otherwise end) by Feb.
  sum (case when monthname 'MAR', then Val 0 otherwise end) like MARS,
  sum (case monthname when "APR" then Val else 0 end) as APR.

  Change again... OK, I guess that I am answering my own question here, but I think that by using a WITH to write the main request once clause and then selecting * twice using the MINUS operator between where the second query is where (oct = 0, etc.) is what I need. If anyone has better suggestions, please let me know! Here's the logic of nickname for what I come up with to date...
  
  {code}
  WITH mainquery as (select all)
  Select * from mainquery
  less
  Select * from mainquery where (oct = 0, nov = 0, etc...)
  {code}
  
  Thanks again!

  Hello

  You can do it with a HAVING clause:

  select
    itemtype,
    sum (case monthname when 'JAN' then theval else 0 end) as JAN,
    sum (case monthname when 'FEB' then theval else 0 end) as FEB,
    sum (case monthname when 'MAR' then theval else 0 end) as MAR,
    sum (case monthname when 'APR' then theval else 0 end) as APR,
    sum (case monthname when 'MAY' then theval else 0 end) as MAY,
    sum (case monthname when 'JUN' then theval else 0 end) as JUN,
    sum (case monthname when 'JUL' then theval else 0 end) as JUL,
    sum (case monthname when 'AUG' then theval else 0 end) as AUG,
    sum (case monthname when 'SEP' then theval else 0 end) as SEP,
    sum (case monthname when 'OCT' then theval else 0 end) as OCT,
    sum (case monthname when 'NOV' then theval else 0 end) as NOV,
    sum (case monthname when 'DEC' then theval else 0 end) as DEC
  from mytable
  group by itemtype
  HAVING      MIN (theval)     != 0
  OR      MAX (theval)     != 0
  order by itemtype
  ;
  

  If the values are all 0, then the MIN and MAX will be 0.
  If the MIN or MAX is not 0, the values are all 0.

  This assumes that the combination (itemtype, monthname) is unique, because it is in your sample data.
  If this is not the case, start with a subquery that GROUPs BY itemtype, monthname, so that when you get to the main request, this combination will be unique.

• SQL join on the two tables where the column as another column

  Hi all
  
  
  tried to get the results of a join between two tables where only one column is like another.
  
  Table1 (nameA) examples: black2, green1
  
  Table2 (Name) example: black2.location.uk.com, green1.location.uk.com
  
  so, for example, I want to match all those in table1 with black2 column in table2 that begins with black2 and so of suite, if you see what im trying to get to!
  
  My sql up to now:
  

  select * from  schema.table1 a
  join schema.table2 b 
  on a.nameA like concat('%', b.nameB, '%'); 

  but it errors:
  
  ORA-00909: invalid number of arguments
  00909 00000 - "invalid number of arguments.
  
  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

  Or any of them should do...

  select * from  schema.table1 a
  join schema.table2 b on a.nameA like '%'||b.nameB||'%';
  

  or

  select * from  schema.table1 a
  join schema.table2 b on instr(b.nameB,a.nameA) > 0
  

• Is it possible to create a table where the month series is represented as columns?

  Anyone know if it is possible to create a table view where the columns contain dates?  I have not seen something like this in Foglight, so I think that it is not possible currently.  Here is an approximate example of what I mean:

  The 2011 monthly average of JVM heap utilization %

  Server	Jan	Feb	Mar	Apr	May	Jun	Jul	Aug	Ms	Oct	Nov	Dec
  WebSphereServer_1	67	87	45	65	67	78	56	78	88	45	67	77
  WebSphereServer_2	45	56	45	68	89	90	99	34	45	67	78	78
  WebSphereServer_3	67	78	56	34	35	57	7	68	99	78	45	56

  Yes, it is possible.

  You can see examples of that in the out-of-the-box reports / canned reports / group, including "physical host - CPU Utilization monthly summary" and "physical host - memory usage monthly summary.

  You can set this in a Row-Oriented table by specifying the column property 'Iterate Over'.

  You would typically set the value of the "Iterate Over" property to the result of the construction in the query "N consecutive time the beaches."

  Review the definition of "reports / canned reports/memory usage Table" for details.

• Where the das value the FQDN in OME Alert Message comes from

  If I place an alert Action to OME, OME provids the details of the alert Message to the script that I defined. In the alert Message, there are several types of information, such as Service number, alert and FULL domain name.

  Now, at one customer site OME reports for appliance name and domain FULL of different values. I was wondering where the FQDN value is taken. It is something of DNS or has he just iDRAC? If it comes to the iDRAC, I can configure it? Is this something I can configue on OME or iDRAC?

  OME performs a reverse DNS lookup.

  This is a list of name resolution that OME crosses top down

  1. If the inventoried by OMSA server then the FQDN DNS name servers
  2. iDRAC name DNS (Reverse DNS lookup)
  3. iDRAC (iDRAC host name parameter) host name
  4. IP address

  If you let the iDRAC registers in the system DNS enable this check mark.

• Problem: Build a VI to display a string in the table of the lights. Each letter must be posted in a separate table and letters must move from one table to the other in the direction from left to right.

  Hi all

  Problem: Build a VI to display a string in the table of the lights. Each letter must be posted in a separate table and letters must move from one table to the other in the direction from left to right.

  I did program mentioned above but it does not work. Can you tell me what is the problem?

  There is no error is indicated in the program. If someone knows about it please try to find solutions and help me out of this problem.

  I have attached my program with this message.

  Thank you in advance!

  (1) FOR loops are your friend here.  You can make a slight restructuring using loops, and then you will have less mess to deal with, the inner loop through tunnels of autoindexing to make it even simpler.

  (2) I would only treat the numeric values of the characters.  So go terminal of control of the chain, the capital letters and byte array to before the outer loop.  You can use a size of Board over there to tell how many times the outer loop to iterate.

  (3) the Index table is extensible.  So you only need over the index of the first, and it will increment itself, as it develops.

  (4) you need to finish the lookup table (table 3D)

• Where the parameter value RepriceOrderChainId as repriceOrder in ExpressCheckoutF

  Guys,
  
  Do you have any ideas on below concern. Please share with us.
  
  PurchaseProcessFormHandler is an abstract class.
  
  ATG OOTB:
  ExpressCheckoutFormHandler extends PurchaseProcessFormHandler {}
  handleExpressCheckout () {}
  runRepricingProcess();
  }
  }
  
  RepriceOrderChainId property has getters and setters to PurchaseProcessFormHandler.
  
  No RepriceOrderChainId value in the PurchaseProcessFormHandler and ExpressCheckoutFormHandler component.
  
  But when I logdebug, RepriceOrderChainId values shows "repriceOrder".
  Here, I have a problem where the RepriceOrderChainId value defined as repriceOrder in the flow of
  ExpressCheckoutFormHandler - > PurchaseProcessFormHandler.
  
  Thank you

  Yes, because PurchaseProcessFormHandler is initialized to repriceOrder of the PurchaseProcessConfiguration.repriceOrderChainId. This happens in his doStartService(). PurchaseProcessConfiguration is located in ExpressCheckoutFormHandler.properties

  If you want to change the mechanism, change it in PurchaseProcessConfiguration and it will reflect PurchaseProcessFormHandler and therefore ExpressCheckoutFormHandler.

• Convert the column values into buckets

  Thanks in advance.
  
  Hervé Rama

  Hi Richard,

  Just to double check, you have Setup buckets for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 individually (each with a fair value). The problem is that you simply do not have all data fall into buckets above, correct?

  If this is the case, it looks like has been answered your original question. If so, the label would assign 'Proper' points by clicking on the button label correct next to the appropriate response and open a new thread with your new question. The reason why I say this is it will help other people who have a similar bucket question to your solution, without complicating the issue with subsequent questions.

  If you can post a separate thread, I'd be more than happy to help you with your secondary problem.

• update to column values (false) in a copy of the same table with the correct values

  Database is 10gr 2 - had a situation last night where someone changed inadvertently values of column on a couple of hundred thousand records with an incorrect value first thing in the morning and never let me know later in the day. My undo retention was not large enough to create a copy of the table as it was 7 hours comes back with a "insert in table_2 select * from table_1 to timestamp...» "query, so I restored the backup previous nights to another machine and it picked up at 07:00 (just before the hour, he made the change), created a dblink since the production database and created a copy of the table of the restored database.
  
  My first thought was to simply update the table of production with the correct values of the correct copy, using something like this:
  
  
  Update mnt.workorders
  Set approvalstat = (select b.approvalstat
  mnt.workorders a, mnt.workorders_copy b
  where a.workordersoi = b.workordersoi)
  where exists (select *)
  mnt.workorders a, mnt.workorders_copy b
  where a.workordersoi = b.workordersoi)
  
  It wasn't the exact syntax, but you get the idea, I wanted to put the incorrect values in x columns in the tables of production with the correct values of the copy of the table of the restored backup. Anyway, it was (or seem to) works, but I look at the process through OEM it was estimated 100 + hours with full table scans, so I killed him. I found myself just inserting (copy) the lines added to the production since the table copy by doing a select statement of the production table where < col_with_datestamp > is > = 07:00, truncate the table of production, then re insert the rows from now to correct the copy.
  
  Do a post-mortem today, I replay the scenario on the copy that I restored, trying to figure out a cleaner, a quicker way to do it, if the need arise again. I went and randomly changed some values in a column number (called "comappstat") in a copy of the table of production, and then thought that I would try the following resets the values of the correct table:
  
  Update (select a.comappstat, b.comappstat
  mnt.workorders a, mnt.workorders_copy b
  where a.workordersoi = b.workordersoi - this is a PK column
  and a.comappstat! = b.comappstat)
  Set b.comappstat = a.comappstat
  
  Although I thought that the syntax is correct, I get an "ORA-00904: 'A'. '. ' COMAPPSTAT': invalid identifier ' to run this, I was trying to guess where the syntax was wrong here, then thought that perhaps having the subquery returns a single line would be cleaner and faster anyway, so I gave up on that and instead tried this:
  
  Update mnt.workorders_copy
  Set comappstat = (select distinct)
  a.comappstat
  mnt.workorders a, mnt.workorders_copy b
  where a.workordersoi = b.workordersoi
  and a.comappstat! = b.comappstat)
  where a.comappstat! = b.comappstat
  and a.workordersoi = b.workordersoi
  
  The subquery executed on its own returns a single value 9, which is the correct value of the column in the table of the prod, and I want to replace the incorrect a '12' (I've updated the copy to change the value of the column comappstat to 12 everywhere where it was 9) However when I run the query again I get this error :
  
  ERROR on line 8:
  ORA-00904: "B". "" WORKORDERSOI ": invalid identifier
  
  First of all, I don't see why the update statement does not work (it's probably obvious, but I'm not)
  
  Secondly, it is the best approach for updating a column (or columns) that are incorrect, with the columns in the same table which are correct, or is there a better way?
  
  I would sooner update the table rather than delete or truncate then re insert, as it was a trigger for insert/update I had to disable it on the notice re and truncate the table unusable a demand so I was re insert.
  
  Thank you

  Hello

  First of all, after post 79, you need to know how to format your code.

  Your last request reads as follows:

  UPDATE
    mnt.workorders_copy
  SET
    comappstat =
    (
      SELECT DISTINCT
        a.comappstat
      FROM
        mnt.workorders a
      , mnt.workorders_copy b
      WHERE
        a.workordersoi    = b.workordersoi
        AND a.comappstat != b.comappstat
    )
  WHERE
    a.comappstat      != b.comappstat
    AND a.workordersoi = b.workordersoi
  

  This will not work for several reasons:
  The sub query allows you to define a and b and outside the breakets you can't refer to a or b.
  There is no link between the mnt.workorders_copy and the the update and the request of void.

  If you do this you should have something like this:

  UPDATE
    mnt.workorders     A      -- THIS IS THE TABLE YOU WANT TO UPDATE
  SET
    A.comappstat =
    (
      SELECT
        B.comappstat
      FROM
        mnt.workorders_copy B   -- THIS IS THE TABLE WITH THE CORRECT (OLD) VALUES
      WHERE
        a.workordersoi    = b.workordersoi      -- THIS MUST BE THE KEY
        AND a.comappstat != b.comappstat
    )
  WHERE
    EXISTS
    (
      SELECT
        B.comappstat
      FROM
        mnt.workorders_copy B
      WHERE
        a.workordersoi    = b.workordersoi      -- THIS MUST BE THE KEY
        AND a.comappstat != b.comappstat
    )
  

  Speed is not so good that you run the query to sub for each row in mnt.workorders
  Note it is condition in where. You need other wise, you will update the unchanged to null values.

  I wouold do it like this:

  UPDATE
    (
      SELECT
        A.workordersoi
        ,A.comappstat
        ,B.comappstat           comappstat_OLD
  
      FROM
        mnt.workorders        A      -- THIS IS THE TABLE YOU WANT TO UPDATE
        ,mnt.workorders_copy  B      -- THIS IS THE TABLE WITH THE CORRECT (OLD) VALUES
  
      WHERE
        a.workordersoi    = b.workordersoi      -- THIS MUST BE THE KEY
        AND a.comappstat != b.comappstat
    ) C
  
  SET
    C.comappstat = comappstat_OLD
  ;
  

  This way you can test the subquery first and know exectly what will be updated.
  This was not a sub query that is executed for each line preformance should be better.

  Kind regards

• How to find the name of the table where the paricular column is common to all the tables...

  Hi all
  
  any help please...
  
  I have a lot of tables in the diagram
  
  Select * from tab; show all tables...
  
  Now, there is a single table called has columns as name like this, dept, empno, joindate, sal...
  now the description column in table present in so many other tables in the schema above...
  
  How can I know the names of tables where this 'Description' column shows.
  
  Note: I use the 10 g version and I do not have DBA privilege on the diagram...
  
  Thanks in advance
  ASP.

  Are you logged in as owner of these tables? Otherwise (and it seems that you're not), you have privileges on these table? If you do, use:

  SELECT  OWNER,
          TABLE_NAME
    FROM  ALL_TAB_COLUMNS
    WHERE COLUMN_NAME = 'DESIGNATION'
  / 
  

  If you don't have privileges, but you can choose from DBA_TAB_COLUMNS, use:

  SELECT  OWNER,
          TABLE_NAME
    FROM  DBA_TAB_COLUMNS
    WHERE COLUMN_NAME = 'DESIGNATION'
  / 
  

  Otherwise ask your DBA to run it.

• Delete rows in a table when the columns from two tables match

  Hello

  I have following two tables.

  ===========================================

  create the table empbooth as

  (

  Select 1 empid, 1 double cabin Union all the

  Select option 2, Union 1 double all the

  Select 3, Union 1 double all the

  Select option 4, Union 2 double all the

  Select option 5, 2 double

  );

  create the table attsht as

  (

  Select 1 empid, 240 reg, 0 unpaid all double union

  Select option 2, reg 200, 0 unpaid of all the double union

  Select 3, 240 reg, 0 unpaid all double them union

  Select 4 480 reg, 0 unpaid all double union

  Select 5 240 reg, unpaid double 0

  );

  =================================================

  I want to remove rows from attsht where corresponding booth (which is stored in the empbooth table) is 1.

  The condition is 'where attsht.empid = empbooth.empid and empbooth.booth = 1 '.

  I use oracle 10g.

  Help, please

  delete from attsht where a.empid in (select b.empid from empbooth b where b.booth = 1)

  or

  remove from attsht a

  where exists (select null

  of empbooth b

  where b.booth = 1

  and b.empid = a.empid)
