  Sorry, my bad. Without database at hand, I'll try 'baby steps' (borrowed from Frank) so you don't confuse it with errors that I might add (happens far too often already, but at least you won't "swallow" as forum members think is one of the main goals of this fighter - help her learn - providing not only the proverbial fish.)
  Search the Forum - your problem is one of its best sellers. Watching {message identifier: = 10694602} ("split string into" was the key word used in research) you can try something as

  select table_row,
         level clob_row,
         regexp_substr(char_data,'[^' || chr(13) || chr(10) || ']+',1,level) the_line
    from (select to_char(queue_seqnum)||':'||to_char(line_seqnum) table_row,
                 char_data
            from order_details
         )
   connect by regexp_substr(char_data,'[^' || chr(13) || chr(10) || ']+',1,level) is not null
          and prior char_data = char_data
          and prior table_row = table_row
          and prior sys_guid() is not null
  

  to get all the s the_lineall CLOB and after that the use of the example even to get your columns of each the_line.

• I need help for query AVG

  I need help with a simple query in an ORACLE database. I tried a lot of things that I found on the internet, but none of them worked for me.

  The following query retrieves four lines:

  SELECT sampled_date AS VALUE1, VALUE2 AS result, 0 as value3

  Of asw_lab

  WHERE template_result = 'A' AND analysis = 'B' AND ROWNUM < 5

  ORDER BY sampled_date DESC;

  I would like to calculate a moving average of the last four values with the date of the sample of the last line.

  For example, I have this result for the query above:

  Value1 value2 value3

  01/04/14-16:00 1 0

  01/04/14 15:00 2 0

  01/04/14 14:00 3 0

  01/04/14 13:00 4 0

  I want to extract the below my average/query calculation result:

  Value1 value2 value3

  01/04/14-16:00 2.5 0

  Can you help me create a request to that effect?

  Thank you

  Maybe it's

  Select max (VALUE1) VALUE1, VALUE2 avg (VALUE2), avg (VALUE3) value3

• Need help on query with decimal places and trailing 0

  Community of Oracle I need help in the following situations:
  
  I received the following query:
  SELECT (SUM ("VALUE1") COUNT ("VALUE2"))
  FROM sometable;
  
  This returns the following results:
  200
  222,5
  
  I want to display as 222.50 222,5 value so I tried ROUND(value,2) but then came to the conclusion that the tour will not show drags me 0.
  So now I tried to_char(value,'9999DD00') and of course he's back 200.00 both 222.50.
  
  Now how to make it conditional so when a number has no decimal place it shows the whole number and when it has a decimal, it shows it in the format to_char(value,'9999DD00')?
  
  I hope I have made my situation and question correctly and I hope a solution.
  
  P. S.
  I need to appear like that since it is an average of the prices of the products

• Need help in the optimization of the query with the Group and joins by clause

  I'm having the problem by running the following query... It takes a lot of time. To simplify, I added the two tables FILE_STATUS = stores the file load details and COMM table Board table job showing records treated successfully and which was communicated to the other system real. Records with status = T is trasnmitted to another system and traansactions with P is waiting.

  CREATE TABLE FILE_STATUS
  (FILE_ID VARCHAR2(14),
  FILE_NAME VARCHAR2(20),
  CARR_CD VARCHAR2(5),
  TOT_REC NUMBER,
  TOT_SUCC NUMBER);
  
  CREATE TABLE COMM
  (SRC_FILE_ID VARCHAR2(14),
  REC_ID NUMBER,
  STATUS CHAR(1));
  
  INSERT INTO FILE_STATUS VALUES ('12345678', 'CM_LIBM.TXT', 'LIBM', 5, 4);
  INSERT INTO FILE_STATUS VALUES ('12345679', 'CM_HIPNT.TXT', 'HIPNT', 4, 0);
  
  INSERT INTO COMM VALUES ('12345678', 1, 'T');
  INSERT INTO COMM VALUES ('12345678', 3, 'T');
  INSERT INTO COMM VALUES ('12345678', 4, 'P');
  INSERT INTO COMM VALUES ('12345678', 5, 'P');
  COMMIT;

  Here's the query I wrote to give me the details of the file that has been loaded into the system. He reads the table of State and the commission files to display the name of the file, total records loaded, total at the table of the commission and the number of records which has finally been passed successfully loaded (Status = T) with other systems.
  

  SELECT 
      FS.CARR_CD 
      ,FS.FILE_NAME 
      ,FS.FILE_ID
      ,FS.TOT_REC
      ,FS.TOT_SUCC
      ,NVL(C.TOT_TRANS, 0) TOT_TRANS
  FROM FILE_STATUS FS
  LEFT JOIN
  (
      SELECT SRC_FILE_ID, COUNT(*) TOT_TRANS

      WHERE STATUS = 'T'
      GROUP BY SRC_FILE_ID
  ) C ON C.SRC_FILE_ID = FS.FILE_ID
  WHERE FILE_ID = '12345678';

  In production, this request has several joins and takes a long time to deal with... the main culprit for me is the join on the COMM table to count the number of number of transactions sent. Please can you give me tips to optimize this query to get results faster? What I need to delete the Group and use the partition or something else. Help, please!

  Don't know if it will be faster based on the information provided, but analytical functions offer an alternative approach;

  select carr_cd, file_name, file_id, tot_rec, tot_succ, tot_trans
    from (select fs.carr_cd,
                 fs.file_name,

• Need help for query joining views

  Hi all

  I need to run a query that joins a number of tables with multiple instances of the same view.  For example, a view named MY_VALUES, is an array of key / value resembles the following:

  Application_ID Attirbute_Description value

  1 1 000 basic benefit

  1 multiplier 1 0.5

  1 Multiplier_2 1.2

  1 total profit 1,115

  2 1 025 basic benefit

  2 multiplier 1 0,268

  2 Multiplier_2 1.3

  Total profit 2 1.4500

  Say I want a query that selects basic earnings and a multiplier 1 for Application ID 1, as well as, other information from a table called APPLICATION that has a relationship to display pk - fk. I would do the following:

  Select the application. Name, mv1.value, mv2.value

  from dbo. App APPLICATION, dbo. MY_VALUES mv1, dbo. Mv2 MY_VALUES

  where app.id = mv1.application_id and mv1.attribute_description = "Basic benefits"

  and app.id = mv2.application and mv2.attribute_description = id 'multiplier 1'.

  and app.id = 1

  My actual query is similar to this. However, I have many other attributes of the notice I need to select, which requires that the view be attached to several times. After 16 these joins, the request is fine. After 17, however, the query runs always, never return a result within 45 minutes I have let it run.

  Is there a better way to write such a request or an indicator of optimization that would be useful here?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  ....

  For this type of application, it is often best to extract multiple lines in a single request on the view and their pivot in the output.

  For example

  Select the application. Name

  , max (CASE when mv.attribute_description = "Core service" then mv.value any other purpose) BaseBenefit

  , max (CASE when mv.attribute_description = 'Multiplier 1' then mv.value any other purpose) Multiplier1

  , max (CASE when mv.attribute_description = 'Multiplier 2' then mv.value any other purpose) Multiplier2

  , max (CASE when mv.attribute_description = 'Multiplier 3' then mv.value end to another null) Multiplier3

  from dbo. App APPLICATION, dbo. MY_VALUES mv

  where app.id = mv1.application_id

  and mv.attribute_description IN ('benefits of home', 'multiplier 'multiplier 'multiplier 3' 2' 1')

  and app.id = 1

  This runs often much better than several joins to the table for the view or the value of the attribute.

  Hello

  It is difficult to understand what you want... A guess based on many assumptions:

  -B1 and B2 are column headers,
  -"A1 + A3" and "A2" in the 'exit' is simply to indicate that you want the sum of the amounts for the first names.

  -Some of the AI have all their amounts > = 0, others have their amounts<=>
  -You want to make the sum of all positive numbers in the first column and all the negatives in the second column

  SELECT SUM (GREATEST (0, t.amount)) b1

  , B2 SUM (LESS (0, t.amount))

  MYTABLE t

  ;

  (I think there is only a bit of luck it's really what you want, but provide a full test case and the output that you really want and why not, try to explain / explicit rules, then we can give better help)

• need help hard query

  Hello

  I'm trying to find out who is the manager who have more number of carried forward under him of emp table

  Thank you

  ASP.

  Hello

  You need to display the results of the sample such that people who want to help you can recreate the problem and test their ideas.  Do you think that people can run what you posted?  You must post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements or equivalent SB.

  Once more, if you use a commonly available table, for example scott.emp, just say.

  Explain how you get these results.  For example, "when I say 'Manager', I mean the employee identified in the mgr column; It does not matter if job = 'MANAGER' or not.  In this issue, I'm only interested in direct subordinates.  For example, the KING (empno = 7839) is Manager, directly or indirectly, the other 13 lines in the table, but only 3 of these lines have mgr = 7839.  There are 5 lines having mgr = 7698 (for BLAKE), so I want BLAKE rather than KING. »

  Here's a way to do it:

  WITH got_rnk AS

  (

  SELECT m.empno, m.ename, m.job - or other columns of your choice

  EARL of (e.mgr) AS reportee_count

  , EVALUATE () OVER (ORDER OF COUNT (*) / / DESC) AS rnk

  FROM scott.emp m

  LEFT OUTER JOIN scott.emp e ON e.mgr = m.empno

  GROUP OF m.empno, m.ename, m.job

  )

  SELECT reportee_count, empno, ename

  OF got_rnk

  WHERE rnk = 1

  ;

  Exit from scott.emp (in the case that is different from what you have posted);

  EMPNO, ENAME, JOB REPORTEE_COUNT

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

  7698 BLAKE MANAGER 5

  If there be a tie for the line with the majority of direct reports, the above query will display all the contenders.

  I need bascially to get the total of the budget column. However this is not as simple as it sounds good (at least not for the me.) totals carried forward to the new period. you will notice that you have a period column. Basically, what im is that
  fgl_grant_year 10 1 period = account 7600 its $100 and $100 for the period 2, you see $ 100 more, it wants to not be added to this is the door on the balance. that is $100.
  So im trying to write a query that basically does the following.
  IM considering a period for the sake of this example let period 1 I get anything else. I find that the greates contributes dumpster year the amount for the period 14 (which corresponds to the total of the previous year) and add it to the amount of the current year. in this case period 1 grnt_year 11
  the expected result is therefore $700

  240055     240055     7240     4730     02     10     14     200
  240055     240055     7600     4730     02     10     14     100
  240055     240055     7600     4730     02     11     1     400

  do not forget that I am not given a just a period of the year.
  any help you guys can give would be immensely appreciated. I tried to get this to work for more than 3 days now.
  Finally broke down and put together this post

  Hello

  Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statemnts; It is very useful.

  I'm not sure that understand your needs.
  The correct output will be just one line:

  TOTAL_BUDGET
  ------------
           700
  

  or will it be 3 ranks that you posted? I guess you want just line after line.

  Do you mean that you are given a period (for example, 1).
  First you have to find the largest gfl_grnt_year which is related to this period (in this case, 11).
  Then you need to add fgl_budget lines that have to be
  (1) the specific period and the largest fgl_grnt_year, or
  (2) perriod = 14 and the previous fgl_grnt_year (in this case, 10).
  Is this fair?

  If so, here's a way to do it:

  WITH     got_greatest_year     AS
  (
       SELECT     fgl.*     -- or whatever columns are needed
       ,     MAX ( CASE
                   WHEN  fgl_period = :given_period
                   THEN  fgl_grnt_year
                  END
                ) OVER ()     AS greatest_year
       FROM     fgl
  )
  SELECT     SUM (fgl_budget)     AS total_budget     -- or SELECT *
  FROM     got_greatest_year
  WHERE     (     fgl_grnt_year     = greatest_year
       AND     fgl_period     = :given_period
       )
  OR     (     fgl_grnt_year     = greatest_year - 1
       AND     fgl_period     = 14
       )
  ;
  

  If you want the 3 lines you have posted, then change the main SELECT clause to ' SELECT * ' (or, instead of *, youcan the columns you want to see the list).

• [8i] need help on query with a subquery/inline using UNION ALL view

  OK, first of all let's start with some background info:
  (1) I work in 8i
  (2) some samples for my problem (please excuse the additional columns of data not used to this problem; I already had the sample laying around tables):
  

  CREATE TABLE     vbom
  (
       part_nbr     char(25)     
  ,     bom_doc_nbr     char(25)     
  ,     bill_level     number

  ,     qty_per          number
  );
  --technically has primary and foreign keys, but whatever...
  --part_nbr is your top level (0) parent
  --comp_part_nbr is the specific child
  --bom_doc_nbr is the parent of the child (comp_part_nbr) and may be either part_nbr or a child of part_nbr that is also a parent
  
  INSERT INTO vbom
  VALUES ('SAMPLE-1','SAMPLE-1', 1,'SAMPLE-2',1);
  
  CREATE TABLE     rqmt
  (
       comp_part_nbr     char(25)     
  ,     prnt_part_nbr     char(25)
  ,     ord_nbr          char(10)     
  ,     sub_ord_nbr     char(3)

  ,     qty_issued     number
  ,     date_reqd     date
  ,     rqmt_stat     char(2)
  ,     rqmt_type     char(2)
  );
  
  INSERT INTO rqmt
  VALUES ('SAMPLE-1','','S0000TEST1',001,30,0,TO_DATE('06/01/2010','mm/dd/yyyy'),'AL','ID');
  INSERT INTO rqmt
  VALUES ('SAMPLE-2','SAMPLE-1','0000054963',001,15,10,TO_DATE('04/01/2010','mm/dd/yyyy'),'CL','DD');
  INSERT INTO rqmt
  VALUES ('SAMPLE-2','SAMPLE-1','0000032562',001,5,5,TO_DATE('04/15/2010','mm/dd/yyyy'),'IS','DD');
  INSERT INTO rqmt
  VALUES ('SAMPLE-2','SAMPLE-1','0000022341',001,5,4,TO_DATE('04/20/2010','mm/dd/yyyy'),'SH','DD');
  INSERT INTO rqmt
  VALUES ('SAMPLE-2','SAMPLE-1','0000043469',001,10,0,TO_DATE('04/30/2010','mm/dd/yyyy'),'AL','DD');

  INSERT INTO rqmt
  VALUES ('SAMPLE-2','SAMPLE-1','0000033294',001,5,0,TO_DATE('05/25/2010','mm/dd/yyyy'),'PL','DD');

  So, my first question was that I needed to find in the table RQMT who corresponded with everything on my VBOM have vbom.part_nbr table ' SAMPLE-1'. '. (Please note, in reality the VBOM table has thousands of rows of data, rather than just the 1 I have planned, some of them sharing the same vbom.part_nbr, others not). In addition to finding all RQMT data corresponding to the vbom.comp_part_nbr to vbom.part_nbr (where vbom.comp_part_nbr = rqmt.comp_part_nbr), I also need to find RQMT data for vbom.part_nbr itself (then, records where vbom.part_nbr = rqmt.comp_part_nbr).
  
  To resolve this problem, I started with the following query:

  SELECT     v.bill_level          AS bill_lvl
  ,     v.comp_part_nbr          AS component
  ,     v.bom_doc_nbr          AS parent
  FROM     VBOM v
  WHERE     v.part_nbr     ='SAMPLE-1'
  UNION ALL
  SELECT     0               AS bill_lvl
  ,     'SAMPLE-1'          AS component
  ,     NULL               AS parent
  FROM DUAL

  It allows me to add a line to the top of the page parent (vbom.part_nbr), which does not exist in vbom.
  My first question is, is UNION ALL of the best way to do it, or could I do a kind of instruction based on the line number box (or something) that would be better? (in this application, or in the final query)
  
  Then, I used the above query as a point of view online:

  SELECT     a.bill_lvl
  ,     a.component
  ,     a.parent
  ,     r.ord_nbr
  ,     r.sub_ord_nbr
  ,     r.qty_reqd
  FROM     (
       SELECT     v.bill_level          AS bill_lvl
       ,     v.comp_part_nbr          AS component
       ,     v.bom_doc_nbr          AS parent
       FROM     VBOM v
       WHERE     v.part_nbr     ='SAMPLE-1'
       UNION ALL
       SELECT     0               AS bill_lvl
       ,     'SAMPLE-1'          AS component
       ,     NULL               AS parent
       FROM DUAL
       ) a
  ,     RQMT r
  WHERE     a.component     = r.comp_part_nbr

  The problem here is that I have the same results (7 files) with the above query as I do with:

  SELECT     v.bill_level
  ,     v.comp_part_nbr
  ,     v.bom_doc_nbr
  ,     r.ord_nbr
  ,     r.sub_ord_nbr
  ,     r.qty_reqd
  FROM     VBOM v
  ,     RQMT r
  WHERE     v.comp_part_nbr     = r.comp_part_nbr
  AND     v.part_nbr     = 'SAMPLE-1'

  .. .it does not include RQMT recording for rqmt.comp_part_nbr = "SAMPLE-1'.
  
  To understand what was going on, I ran:

  SELECT     a.bill_lvl
  ,     a.component
  ,     a.parent
  FROM     (
       SELECT     v.bill_level          AS bill_lvl
       ,     v.comp_part_nbr          AS component
       ,     v.bom_doc_nbr          AS parent
       FROM     VBOM v
       WHERE     v.part_nbr     ='SAMPLE-1'
       UNION ALL
       SELECT     0               AS bill_lvl
       ,     'SAMPLE-1'          AS component
       ,     NULL               AS parent
       FROM DUAL
       ) a

  .. .and I get exactly this that I wait, 1 card for the SAMPLE-2 component and 1 plug for SAMPLE-1 (i.e. the recording I generated with the UNION ALL).
  
  Then I ran:

  SELECT     r.comp_part_nbr
  ,     r.ord_nbr
  ,     r.sub_ord_nbr
  ,     r.qty_reqd
  FROM     RQMT r
  WHERE     r.comp_part_nbr like 'SAMPLE-%'

  .. .and I get all 8 records, whose SAMPLE-1.
  
  So, it seems that the problem occurred when I join my opinion RQMT one online, although both separately seem to work very well.
  
  A point to note: all parts of parent and child may not be appointed in the same way as in my example. SAMPLE-1 could have children of the SAMPLE-2, abc123, 20735, for example.
  
  Any help on this would be appreciated, thanks!

  Hello

  Concerns of problem by comparing 8 literal characters ' SAMPLE-1' for the 25-character CHAR column that contains "SAMPLE 1".»

  Is there a reason why you use CHAR instead of VARCHAR2? (One reason other than "I can't change it now.", otherwise said.)

• Need help with query for points and polygons, 2 tables of

  Hi all
  
  I'm slowly stumbling along trying to figure things out space.
  
  I have two tables, GEO_POINTS:
  (
  DEP_ID NUMBER (12) NOT NULL,
  LINE NUMBER 4 NOT NULL,.
  MDSYS. POINT_LOC SDO_GEOMETRY
  )
  
  and POLYGON_AREAS:
  (
  POLY_NAME VARCHAR2 (120 CHAR),
  POLY_DESC VARCHAR2 (120 CHAR),
  MDSYS POLY_POINTS. SDO_GEOMETRY
  )
  
  Neither table is engraved in stone, if any, I can change some structure.
  
  I'm trying to understand how to write a query to retrieve all the points in a polygon, perhaps even with an optional buffer provided by the user.
  
  Conversely, I would probably also need to know what polygons a point would have drawn in, and it's the only request I could make any progress on.
  
  What I have so far, which is not working properly, is the following:
  
  Select * from deposits_search where dep_id in)
  SELECT dep_id
  OF geo_points, polygon_areas
  where (sdo_relate)
  poly_points,
  (SELECT point_loc
  OF geo_points
  WHERE dep_id = 10282444),
  ("mask = ANYINTERACT") = "TRUE");
  
  In the light of the foregoing, I want to select all the lines of a third table (DEPOSITS_SEARCH), for all polygons which is a point. The DEP_ID column is my primary key for most of the data tables in the database, and the number rose in my application query. However, the above returns all rows. It should only return one, because I only have a polygon of test defined so far.
  
  Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you
  
  Bill Ferguson

  in which case you must include a line of buffer for the interaction between the points and polygons (with a stamp),

  better, you use the SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE operator.

  http://download.Oracle.com/docs/HTML/B14255_01/sdo_operat.htm#i77653

  Not so sure what you mean with "I always have problems while providing a point location and extract the polygons that point would be plotted in" as so-called before unless you want that as a 'transitional instance of a geometry. (Specified using a variable binding or a builder SDO_GEOMETRY.) »

  http://download.Oracle.com/docs/HTML/B14255_01/sdo_operat.htm#i78531

  Read what geometry2 means in there. Read the examples and you will see that you have the geometry second in space operator as a builder. If this is what you need.
