SQL - using COUNT query

• By using the query table data pump

  I am trying to perform an export of data pump on a table by using a query in a parfile and I'm getting a strange behavior. The database version is 10.2.0.4.3 and the AIX 5.3 operating system. The query looks like this.
  
  QUERY = "POSDECLARATIONQUEUE:where SESSIONID in (select"B.SESSIONID"from POSACCOUNT A, POSDECLARATIONQUEUE B, POSDECLARATIONSESSION C, where"B.SESSIONID"="C.ID"and"C.ACCOUNTID"= 'A.ID' and 'Inform' = '10252')" "
  
  This works, but gets 0 rows. If I run the query against the instance in a session of SQLPlus as below then I get 0 rows returned.
  
  Select * from POSDECLARATIONQUEUE where SESSIONID in (select "B.SESSIONID" from POSACCOUNT A, POSDECLARATIONQUEUE B, POSDECLARATIONSESSION C, where "B.SESSIONID" = "C.ID" AND "C.ACCOUNTID" = 'A.ID' and 'Inform' = '10252');
  
  If I take the columns all about apostrophes in the query on the Forum with SQLPlus, I get over 2000 rows returned.
  
  SQL > select count (*) in the POSDECLARATIONQUEUE where SESSIONID in (select B.SESSIONID from POSACCOUNT A, POSDECLARATIONQUEUE B, POSDECLARATIONSESSION C where B.SESSIONID = C.ID and C.ACCOUNTID = A.ID and inform = 10252);
  
  COUNT (*)
  ----------
  2098
  
  If I remove the apostrophes in the query parfile then I get the following error in data pump export.
  
  DEU-00014: invalid value for the parameter, "schemas".
  
  The PATTERNS option is not specified in parfile him and the TABLES option specifies that the table POSDECLARATIONQUEUE.
  
  Can someone help with this, I can't seem to be able to get the syntax just to work within data pump.
  
  Kind regards.

  It seems that your query can be a little wrong:

  That's what you have:

  QUERY = "POSDECLARATIONQUEUE:where SESSIONID in (select"B.SESSIONID"from POSACCOUNT A, POSDECLARATIONQUEUE B, POSDECLARATIONSESSION C, where"B.SESSIONID"="C.ID"and"C.ACCOUNTID"= 'A.ID' and 'Inform' = '10252')" "

  That's what I would have thought it should look like:

  QUERY = POSDECLARATIONQUEUE: "where SESSIONID in (select B.SESSIONID from POSACCOUNT A, POSDECLARATIONQUEUE B, POSDECLARATIONSESSION C where B.SESSIONID = C.ID and C.ACCOUNTID = A.ID and inform = 10252).

  You want to double "around the full query and you have not need single ' around all =." The single ' treat these values as strings and he said

  "B.SESSIONID" = "C.ID".
  the B.SESSIONID string is the string C.ID

  In your query you used in sql has been

  B.SESSIONID = C.ID

  that said, it is that the B.SESSIONID stored value equal to the value stored at C.ID

  Which is what you want.

  You cannot use the SQL commands that did not exist in the 8.0 database.

  Oracle Forms (and reports) has a full PL/SQL engine and (only) the SQL parser.

  However, form (and reports) PL/SQL engine / SQL parser is at a level that was in the Oracle 8.0 database.

• Detroit SQL of the query in writing: analysis of the GAPS in order of Row_Wid in a Table

  I am writing a query that scans a product Dimension Row_Wid, notes the gaps in the sequence and generates the missing Row_Wids. It loads these 'missing Feds"in a sequence of wid created table to reuse by Informatica transformation of research without bond during the subsequent data loads. Yes, I expect many people asking why I do this. The simple reason is that Informatica has a limit of 2 147 sequence generator 483 647'.

• use of query rewriting

  is there a way to connect the materialized views how often are accessible in general or by the query rewriting enabled option?
  
  I would like to know what materialized views are useless, because they are never used by query rewrite.

  You can follow with select audit, good example here

  http://www.Oracle-base.com/articles/10G/auditing-10gR2.php

  If you want to in retrospect you may need something cludge together by hitting the v$ sql and plans to even see who has several SQL identifiers have a plan that rewrite. not good enough.

• Merge no SQL using analytical functions

  Hi, the Sql tuning specialists:
  I have a question about the merger of view inline.
  
  I have a simple vision with the analytical functions inside. When questioning him, he does not index.
  
  
  VIEW to CREATE or REPLACE ttt
  AS
  SELECT EmpNo, deptno,
  ROW_NUMBER() over (PARTITION BY deptno ORDER BY deptno desc NULLS last) part_seq
  EMP AAA
  
  -That will do full table for emp scan
  Select * from TT
  WHERE empno = 7369
  
  
  -If I do not view use, I use the query directly, the index is used
  SELECT EmpNo, deptno,
  ROW_NUMBER() over (PARTITION BY deptno ORDER BY deptno desc NULLS last) part_seq
  EMP aaa
  WHERE empno = 7369
  
  
  question is: How can I force the first query to use indexes?
  
  Thank you

  select * from ttt

  and

  SELECT empno,deptno,
  row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY deptno ORDER BY deptno desc NULLS last) part_seq
  FROM emp aaa
  WHERE empno=7369
  

  are two logically different queries. Analytical functions are applied after + * resultset is common. So first select query all rows in the emp table then assign ROW_NUMBER() to recovered lines and only then select a line with empno = 7369 her. Second query will select the table emp with empno = 7369 line and only then apply ROW_NUMBER() - so since emp.empno is unique ROW_NUMBER returned by second query will always be equal to 1:

    2  WHERE empno=7369

• PL/SQL using bind variable to delete records

  Hello
  
  I'm currently implementing PL/SQL using bind variables to remove records from the "item_progress" table in the simple join query where I'm passing itemName, itemLoc and orderLoc in the delete query in pl/sql block.
  
  Please suggest, it should be easy for oracle experts...
  
  (a) I need first records in the item_progress table by using the join query and then update of status in the renew_item table.
  (b) it works fine if I use the simple removal with a condition that is ("DELETE from item_progress where itemname =: 1' using itemname1").
  
  (c) but it gives an error when I run it using delete with join:
  ---------------------------------------
  * Invalid relational operator ORA-00920:
  ORA-06512: at "SE", line 14 (it's the deletion with the join... "DELETE FROM item_progress WHERE item_id IN (SELECT ip.item_id'...)" ....'
  ORA-06512: at line 10
  Process exited.*
  ---------------------------------------
  
  create or replace PROCEDURE PUT (itemName IN VARCHAR2,
  itemLoc IN VARCHAR2,
  orderLoc IN VARCHAR2) is
  itemName1 varchar2 (30);
  itemLoc1 varchar2 (30);
  orderLoc1 varchar2 (30);
  BEGIN
  orderLoc1: = ' C: test/local /';
  itemLoc1: = ' / / L123/R;
  itemName1: = 'AAA ';
  
  immediate execution
  
  "DELETE FROM item_progress WHERE item_id IN (SELECT ip.item_id FROM ip, item_order io item_progress WHERE io.orderlocation: = 1 AND ip.order_id io.order_id UNION SELECT item_id FROM item_progress WHERE ITEMLOCATION =: = 2) AND itemname: = 3' using orderloc1, itemloc1, itemname1;"
  
  -"DELETE from item_progress where itemname =: 1' using itemname1; -IT WORKS FINE
  -Once the above query is updated to success, the status in another table
  -Renew_item update the Status value = "RENEWED" where ITEMNAME =: 1, ITEMLOCATION =: 2 using itemname1, itemloc1;
  
  commit;
  END OPERATIONS;

  You have made a typo. bind variables are preceded by two points, while you put a colon in front of the equality operator that he listens to it in the PL/SQL assignment operator. Change:

  WHERE io.orderlocation : = 1

  TO

  IO.orderlocation WHERE =:1

  Change:

  WHERE ITEMLOCATION : = 2

  TO:

  WHERE ITEMLOCATION =:2

  Change

  AND itemname : = 3

  TO:

  AND itemname =:3

• Developer SQL vs TOAD - query performance issue

  Someone pointed out the same queries are run slower in SQL Developer and TOAD. I'm curious on this issue, since I understand Java is 'slow', but I can't find another thread on this point. I do not use TOAD, so I can't compare...
  
  Can it be linked to the amount of data returned by the query? What could be the other reasons for the SQL Dev works more slowly with a similar query?
  
  Thank you
  Attila

  It occurs to me also that TOAD always uses the equivalent of the 'thick' JDBC driver Developer SQL can use 'thin' driver or the 'thick' driver, but the connections are usually configured with the pilot "thin", since you need an Oracle client to use the 'thick' driver

  The difference is that the 'thin' drivers are written entirely in Java, but 'thick' drivers are written with only a small Java that calls the native executable (that's why you need an Oracle client) to do most of the work. In theory, a thick driver is faster because the code of the object should not be interpreted by the JAVA virtual machine. However, I heard that the performance difference is not that big. The only way to know for sure is to set up a connection with SQL Developer to use thick driver and see if it is faster (I would use a stopwatch).

  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that if you use 'TNS' as your type of connection, Developer SQL use thick driver, while someone is using the default value, the type of ' basic' connection the thin driver. Otherwise, you need to use the connection type 'Advanced' and type in the JDBC URL custom for the thick driver.

• using reg query

  Hello

  I'm trying to use Reg Query to review the contents of a registry key.  More precisely

  I just want to know what are the subkeys.  I expect to be

  • IconStreams and
    PastIconsStream

  Since they are both of type reg_binary, when I do this query I have also all binary data as well, make very large output.

  Is there a way to simply retrieve/request which is in the field/column name and not the column/field data ?  I tried the /k options and /v who gave me errors, which I interpreted in the sense I was their use either wrong or they are not used in this instance.

  There is not a lot of examples out there and most of repeat them what you find when you use /?.

  Thank you.

  The question you posted would be better suited in the MSDN Forums. I would recommend posting your query in the MSDN Forums.

• Inserting data by using the query

  Hello

  In a book, I read the Sub statement:

  Can someone clarify what is the significance of this (processed or unprocessed form).

  
  

  Thank you.

  Why don't you ask the author of the book.

  How can we know what the author means when you take a quote out of context and don't provide any reference so that we can see exactly what is shown to you.

  I can only imagine that they are referring to data that are queried directly, "like what", another table, or who was interrogated and manipulated before be inserted.

  resizing to convert $1 - $200 2

  Could this be problems with permissions on files?

  test_file1.jpg has permission - rw-rw-r-

  test_convert.sh a permission rwxrwxrwx

  When I run the script manually and pass in 2 parameters ($1 = infilename and $2 = outfilename), it works...

  I'd appreciate if someone can point out my mistake or suggest another method that works.

  Thanks in advance

  How long does it take to create the converted file? Remember that the external Scheduler is running asynchronously, so it is possible that the converted file does not exist yet when the PL/SQL block subsequently tries to open it.

  Try to add some delay seconds to the routine to ensure that the external task is completed:

      begin
        dbms_scheduler.create_job(
            job_name => 'MAG_IMAGE_CONVERT2'
          , job_type => 'EXECUTABLE'
          , job_action => '/home/oracle/DOCUMENTS_DIR/tst_convert2.sh' );--  '/home/oracle/DOCUMENTS_DIR/tst_convert.sh');
        dbms_scheduler.enable('MAG_IMAGE_CONVERT2');
        dbms_lock.sleep(3);
      end;
  

  This probably isn't really a viable solution in the long term if it turns out that this is really the problem.

• the search for empty cells by using the query designer

  Hello

  I'm trying to exclude empty cells in a field (by using the Query Builder), and I did:

  xDocumentSource < match > "CDL".

  < AND >

  < NOT > (xRelatedMsgid < match > "" "")

  but it does not work. I tried "NULL", but it does not work either. Could someone tell me how to do it (or where I can find examples of queries).

  Kind regards
