Offset and IGNORE NULLS for LEAD/LAG

Hi all

so far, I thought that I understood the functioning of LEAD and the DELAY, but after you add the IGNORE NULLS and a shift, I'm confused

I created a Fiddle SQL that executes a 11 g R2, v$ version returns Oracle Database 11 g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0

CREATE TABLE vt (part INT, ord int, val INT);
INSERT INTO vt VALUES(1, 1, 8);
INSERT INTO vt VALUES(1, 2, 10);
INSERT INTO vt VALUES(1, 3, 3);
INSERT INTO vt VALUES(1, 4, NULL);
INSERT INTO vt VALUES(1, 5, NULL);
INSERT INTO vt VALUES(1, 6, NULL);
INSERT INTO vt VALUES(1, 7, 2);
INSERT INTO vt VALUES(1, 8, NULL);
INSERT INTO vt VALUES(1, 9, 5);




Arghhh, of course, I am wrong and the result is correct

OFFSET 2 more IGNORE NULLS does not mean ""find the next non null from two lines after the current line ", there "find the 2nd non-NULL value from directly after the current line". "

And to compensate FOR the 1, both rules will return the same result.

This occurs when you are focused on a specific thing and not see the forest for the trees.

  • Lag() ignore null values performance

    Hello

    I have looked around, but didn't find everybody talks about performance problems specifically with the use of 'IGNORE NULLS' inside of an analytic function of LAG() in a view online.

    This is a cut from the version of my sql, isolated to the question under discussion.

    select * from (
      SELECT /* use_nl (j,gjt,jt) */
         jt.id
        ,COALESCE
          (lag(jt.my_column ignore nulls /* this is the nasty critter */
            ) over (order by jt.order_seq)
          ,0
          )+1 AS start_days
        ,coalesce
          (jt.my_column
          ,last_value(jt.my_column ignore nulls
            ) over (order by jt.order_seq desc)
          ) AS end_days
      FROM  a,bunch,of,tables
      WHERE ...
      ) jt 
    where jt.id = '123456'
    

    If I remove ignores NULL values in the offset, there is no performance problem.

    Last_value() is not affected.

    If I do not use a view inline then performance is very good, although it is no different to explain the plan.

    select ..
    from ...
    where ...
    and id = '123456'
    

    Has anyone come across something like this, or have any suggestions?

    Happy to try to build a test scenario if it contributes to the discussion, but I thought I would just ask the question first.

    Scott,

    He would not have anything to do with your real problem, since you say that you get different performances during the removal of the IGNORE NULLS clause, but I doubt that you get exactly the same execution plan when online display is deleted these two queries are typically semantically the same.

    If you use the inline view, Oracle cannot push the filter on the ID in the view if the analytical functions partitions not by this ID, because the result will not be the same for the steps: with the online mode, the data is transformed without filtering for the evaluation of the expressions of the LAG etc, and then the filter is applied.

    If you remove the inline view and filter directly, it has a quite different meaning because now the data will be filtered first and then the analytical functions apply to the filtered result set.

    So the case of inline view maybe has to deal with a completely different volume (larger) identical to the variant of view data not online according to the selectivity of the filter - which could explain that the clause "IGNORE NULLS" made a significant difference in performance on this larger volume of data to deal with, but not necessarily.

  • Function of lag ignoring NULL values in 10g

    I have the following query that works well in 11g. I want to rewrite the query in 10g and get the same set of results. Because the offset ignoring NULL values, I used below is a new feature in 11g, someone can help me in rewriting the query below.

    Prop1 - String, evar11 - String

    Select prop1, evar11,.

    lag (Prop1 ignores Nulls) over (partition by order of period_key of visit_page_num, visit_num, visid_low, visid_high) as prop1_lag
    from TABLE_A

    where period_key = '20131012' - DATE

    order of visit_page_num

    Thanks in advance,

    H.

    Hello

    In Oracle 10, you can use LAST_VALUE... ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND 1 PREVIOUS instead of LAG.

    As I don't have your table, I'll use scott.emp to illustrate:

    SELECT hiredate, ename, comm

    MOST LAG (comm IGNORE NULLS) (ORDER BY hiredate, ename) AS lag_comm

    , LAST_VALUE (comm IGNORE NULLS) OVER (ORDER BY hiredate, ename)

    ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING

    AND 1 PRECEDING

    ) AS last_value_comm

    FROM scott.emp

    ORDER BY hiredate, ename

    ;

    The output shows that LAG and LAST_VALUE produce the same results:

    HIREDATE ENAME LAG_COMM LAST_VALUE_COMM COMM

  • Sorting and null for currency values in a report

    All,
    I think this should be easy, and I just missed something obvious.
    I have an APEX 3.2.1 standard report that includes a column with a monetary value in it. I want the column to display the UK pound sign to be able to sort and display NULL values, as appropriate.
    The question I have is that I can't find a way to reach all 3 in a medium satisfctory. As I see the options would be:

    (1) in the SQL for the report, concat the pound sign in the required column, for example SELECT "£". amount OF the...
    The problem is that it makes this field a CHAR field, so sorting is not sort of the same way as for a numeric field.

    (2) use the format FML999 number... etc in the column attribute.
    The problem with this is that it is a multi-country database, and the default currency unit is the value of the U.S. dollar.

    (3) expression box to use HTML code in the column attribute to display £#COL #.
    It fills the pound sign and keep the number format, but unfortunately a null value is displayed as a sign of pounds with no number. I do not see how so he can leave this value in the report as completely empty.

    As I said, I'm sure I missed obvious soemthing. If someone can identify how to achieve this it would be much appreciated.

    Kind regards
    Jon.

    >

    The NLS currency symbol can be changed on the fly if you have a few ways to identify the location/preference of the user: {: identifier of the thread = 990848} (ignore the last post)

    However, it probably doesn't make sense to do - ≠ £100 $100 (at least I hope not!) - unless there is some sort of conversion occurring in the report? Is there a currency stored and the amount?

  • JDev 11 g: problem view VO criteria ignore Null values

    Then a race my request and made a few test/dev.

    After a while, I needed to change my display criteria 'optional' with 'Ignore Null values' checked.
    I changedit, run my application and the display criteria did not work... I don't add no rows returned when I went to my variable named "null".
    After 1 or 2 days to research, I managed to notice that in fact, an attribute is missing in my VO object source.

    I needed to add explicitly in the XML of the source of this attribute:
    GenerateIsNullClauseForBindVars = 'true '.

    in the desired so ViewCriteriaItem it ignores Null values.

    I tried various combinations of the interface for presentation but non of them generated this attribute set to "true".
    Only when I put the validation 'Optional' and ' ignore values null ' unchecked, GenerateIsNullClauseForBindVars = 'false' appears in the XML source code.

  • Trying to remove the folders from Windows one system empty, but in error "is a Windows system folder and is required for Windows work.» It cannot be deleted. »

    My parents bought a laptop from a friend, and recently my father ran an antivirus program that came with multiple files in a folder that has been created by this friend. When you try to delete the folder a box appears that says "it is a Windows system folder and is required for Windows work.» It cannot be deleted. "But all the folders inside are empty and of no use to us. Help?

    The standard answer to questions that begin with «I bought a used computer...» "is you can do a clean install of Windows, because you know not what could be hiding somewhere in the computer.  In this case, it seems as if he is infected with something.

    Legally, the seller was required to give you a way to do this reinstall, but in the vast majority of the private sales of used computers, this requirement is simply ignored.

    If it's a laptop to 'mark' (e.g., Dell, HP, IBM/Lenovo) there may be a hidden partition on the hard drive that can be used to restore the computer to its "fresh from the factory" State.  Of course, this will remove all applications that the previous owner had installed after he or she has bought new, but you should still seriously to consider making such a restore, if the mechanism is available.

    What is the name and the version of the antivirus application that has detected the wrong files?
    What are the names of the files?
    What is the name of the folder that cannot be deleted?
    Are you logged on as a user with the rights "computer administrator" when you try to delete it?

    Assuming that you can not or will not do a clean install of Windows, I suggest the following (do not run scans at the same time, each analysis may take some time, depending on the number of files on the computer):

    Connect as a user with the privileges "computer administrator" and do a full scan with each of the following:

  • Null implicit and explicit null

    Hi experts,

    I met two terms which is null implicit and explicit null and I were confused.

    anyone can try to explain what that means exactly by both of these terms.

    Implicit-null I understood - it's the last jump announce a lambel in 3 to indicate that it as implicit-null

    Please suggest

    Concerning

    Mahesh

    Hello

    Explicit and implicit null labels are generated by the router to the last jump to its neighbors.

    Implicit null is the default which means penultimate router must only send IP packet thus, it appears the label (the label known as PHP and it is done to reduce the load on the router of the last jump to burst). One of the drawbacks in implicit null approach is if the network is configured for QoS based on MPLS EXP bits, QoS is lost between the penultimate router and router the last jump.

    In this case, we can make use of Explicit null which means router penultimate jump does not jump label. It sends with the value of the label of 0 but with other areas including intact EXP bits. This way QoS treatment is kept between penultimate router and router the last jump. Explicit null value must be configured manually in the router of the last jump.

    HTH.

    Hello

    If you need to do this in SQL, and then use an expression BOX to return deptno for the first line of each deptno and NULL for all others.  ROW_NUMBER can determine which is the first line, like this:

    Select

    CASE

    WHEN ROW_NUMBER () OVER (PARTITION BY deptno

    Sal of ORDER BY DESC

    )  = 1

    THEN deptno

    ANOTHER NULL - Default; can be omitted

    END AS deptno

    ename, sal,

    ROW_NUMBER()

    courses (deptno partition

    order by sal desc) rn,.

    Rank()

    courses (deptno partition

    order by sal desc) rnk.

    DENSE_RANK()

    courses (deptno partition

    order by sal desc) drnk

    from scott.emp

    order by EMP. DeptNo, sal desc

    /

    Notice how I used emp.deptno in the ORDER byclause in the query.  Simply deptno in this place means that the results of the CASE, not the original column expression.
