Changing In to Exists in SQL - with DISTINCT - sql

Having this one:
code IN
(
SELECT DISTINCT aaa.code
FROM ORGHEADER AS aaa
LEFT JOIN ORGRELATEDPARTY AS bbb
ON aaa.oh_pk = bbb.parent
WHERE aaa.oh_pk NOT IN
(
SELECT fu.parent
FROM ORGRELATEDPARTY fu
WHERE fu.partytype = 'MNG'
)
)
Reading this one:
Changing IN to EXISTS in SQL
Tried to change it into "Exists", but produced this and it did not work:
code EXISTS
(
SELECT *
FROM ORGHEADER AS aaa
LEFT JOIN ORGRELATEDPARTY AS bbb
ON aaa.oh_pk = bbb.pr_oh_parent
WHERE aaa.oh_pk NOT IN
(
SELECT fu.parent
FROM ORGRELATEDPARTY fu
WHERE fu.pr_partytype = 'MNG'
)
WHERE code = DISTINCT aaa.oh_code
)
The error is 3706: Syntax error: expected something between '=' and 'DISTINCT' keyword.

You have already redundant code.
Inside the IN subquery you are selecting a column from ORGHEADER, so the LEFT join only adds noise since it returns in any case all rows from ORGHEADER.
Assuming that code belongs to a table aliased as t you can write the code with EXISTS like this:
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM ORGHEADER AS aaa
WHERE aaa.oh_code = t.code
AND aaa.oh_pk NOT IN (
SELECT parent
FROM ORGRELATEDPARTY
WHERE pr_partytype = 'MNG'
)
)
Also, NOT IN will not work if the column parent of the table ORGRELATEDPARTY may return nulls.

Why is my query inserting the same values when I have added a 'not exists' parameter that should avoid this from happening?

My query should stop inserting values, as the not exists statement is satisfied (I have checked both tables) and matching incidents exist in both tables, any ideas why values are still being returned?
Here is the code:
INSERT INTO
odwh_system.ead_incident_credit_control_s
(
incident
)
SELECT DISTINCT
tp.incident
FROM
odwh_data.ead_incident_status_audit_s ei
INNER JOIN odwh_data.ead_incident_s tp ON ei.incident=tp.incident
WHERE
ei.status = 6
OR
ei.status = 7
AND NOT EXISTS
(
SELECT
true
FROM
odwh_system.ead_incident_credit_control_s ead
WHERE
ead.incident = tp.incident
)
AND EXISTS
(
SELECT
true
FROM
odwh_work.ead_incident_tp_s tp
WHERE
tp.incident = ei.incident
);
dont reuse table aliases
use sane aliases
avoid AND/OR conflicts; prefer IN()
INSERT INTO odwh_system.ead_incident_credit_control_s (incident)
SELECT -- DISTINCT
tp.incident
FROM odwh_data.ead_incident_s dtp
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT *
FROM odwh_system.ead_incident_credit_control_s sic
WHERE sic.incident = dtp.incident
)
AND EXISTS (
SELECT *
FROM odwh_work.ead_incident_tp_s wtp
JOIN odwh_data.ead_incident_status_audit_s dis ON wtp.incident = dis.incident AND dis.status IN (6 ,7)
WHERE wtp.incident = dtp.incident
);

ERROR SQL Server ONLY one expression can be specified in the select list when the subquery is not introduced with exists

I am trying to run my query but I get an error.
This is my query:
if exists (select CODE_ISIN
from cte
where code_ISIN not in (select [STATUT_TITRE], [CODE_ISIN]
from TT_TITRE A
inner join TT_STATUT_TITRE B on A.TITRE_ID = B.TITRE_ID))
begin
select 'ko'
end
begin
select 'ok'
end
Remove [STATUT_TITRE] from sub-query as it will accept only one expression :
select c.CODE_ISIN
from cte c
where code_ISIN not in (select [CODE_ISIN] -- only one expression needed
from TT_TITRE A inner join
TT_STATUT_TITRE B
on A.TITRE_ID = B.TITRE_ID
);
I would suggest to use NOT EXISTS instead :
where not exists (select 1
from TT_TITRE A inner join
TT_STATUT_TITRE B
on A.TITRE_ID=B.TITRE_ID
where CODE_ISIN = c.CODE_ISIN
);

Oracle SQL XOR condition with > 14 tables

I have a question on sql desgin.
Context:
I have a table called t_master and 13 other tables (lets call them a,b,c... for simplicity) where it needs to compared.
Logic:
t_master will be compared to table 'a' where t_master.gen_val =
a.value.
If record exist in t_master, retrieve t_master record, else retrieve 'a' record.
I do not need to retrieve the records if it exists in both tables (t_master and a) - XOR condition
Repeat this comparison with the remaining 12 tables.
I have some idea on doing this, using WITH to subquery the non-master tables (a,b,c...) first with their respective WHERE clause.
Then use XOR statement to retrieve the records.
Something like
WITH a AS (SELECT ...),
b AS (SELECT ...)
SELECT field1,field2...
FROM t_master FULL OUTER JOIN a FULL OUTER JOIN b FULL OUTER JOIN c...
ON t_master.gen_value = a.value
WHERE ((field1 = x OR field2 = y ) AND NOT (field1 = x AND field2 = y))
AND ....
.
.
.
.
Seeing that I have 13 tables that I need to full outer join, is there a better way/design to handle this?
Otherwise I would have at least 2*13 lines of WHERE clause which I'm not sure if that will have impact on the performance as t_master is sort of a log table.
**Assume I cant change any schema.
Currently I'm not sure if this SQL will working correctly yet, so I'm hoping someone can guide me in the right direction regarding this.
update from used_by_already's suggestion:
This is what I'm trying to do (comparison between 2 tables first, before I add more, but I am unable to get values from ATP_R.TBL_HI_HDR HI_HDR as it is in the NOT EXISTS subquery.
How do i overcome this?
SELECT LOG_REPO.UNIQ_ID,
LOG_REPO.REQUEST_PAYLOAD,
LOG_REPO.GEN_VAL,
LOG_REPO.CREATED_BY,
TO_CHAR(LOG_REPO.CREATED_DT,'DD/MM/YYYY') AS CREATED_DT,
HI_HDR.HI_NO R_VALUE,
HI_HDR.CREATED_BY R_CREATED_BY,
TO_CHAR(HI_HDR.CREATED_DT,'DD/MM/YYYY') AS R_CREATED_DT
FROM ATP_COMMON.VW_CMN_LOG_GEN_REPO LOG_REPO JOIN ATP_R.TBL_HI_HDR HI_HDR ON LOG_REPO.GEN_VAL = HI_HDR.HI_NO
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT NULL
FROM ATP_R.TBL_HI_HDR HI_HDR
WHERE LOG_REPO.GEN_VAL = HI_HDR.HI_NO
)
UNION ALL
SELECT LOG_REPO.UNIQ_ID,
LOG_REPO.REQUEST_PAYLOAD,
LOG_REPO.GEN_VAL,
LOG_REPO.CREATED_BY,
TO_CHAR(LOG_REPO.CREATED_DT,'DD/MM/YYYY') AS CREATED_DT,
HI_HDR.HI_NO R_VALUE,
HI_HDR.CREATED_BY R_CREATED_BY,
TO_CHAR(HI_HDR.CREATED_DT,'DD/MM/YYYY') AS R_CREATED_DT
FROM ATP_R.TBL_HI_HDR HI_HDR JOIN ATP_COMMON.VW_CMN_LOG_GEN_REPO LOG_REPO ON HI_HDR.HI_NO = LOG_REPO.GEN_VAL
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT NULL
FROM ATP_COMMON.VW_CMN_LOG_GEN_REPO LOG_REPO
WHERE HI_HDR.HI_NO = LOG_REPO.GEN_VAL
)
Full outer joins used to exclude all matching rows can be an expensive query. You don't supply much detail, but perhaps using NOT EXISTS would be simpler and maybe it will produce a better explain plan. Something along these lines.
select
cola,colb,colc
from t_master m
where not exists (
select null from a where m.keycol = a.fk_to_m
)
and not exists (
select null from b where m.keycol = b.fk_to_m
)
and not exists (
select null from c where m.keycol = c.fk_to_m
)
union all
select
cola,colb,colc from a
where not exists (
select null from t_master m where a.fk_to_m = m.keycol
)
union all
select
cola,colb,colc from b
where not exists (
select null from t_master m where b.fk_to_m = m.keycol
)
union all
select
cola,colb,colc from c
where not exists (
select null from t_master m where c.fk_to_m = m.keycol
)
You could union the 13 a,b,c ... tables to simplify the coding, but that may not perform so well.

INNER JOINING THE TABLE ITSELF GIVES No column name was specified for column 2

SELECT *
FROM
construction AS T2
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT project,MAX(report_date)
FROM construction
GROUP BY project
) AS R
ON T2.project=R.project AND T2.report_date=R.report_date
getting this error. plz help
No column name was specified for column 2 of 'R'
You need to add alias for MAX(report_date):
SELECT *
FROM construction AS T2
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT project,MAX(report_date) AS report_date
FROM construction
GROUP BY project
) AS R
ON T2.project = R.project
AND T2.report_date = R.report_date;
In SQL Server you can use syntax:
SELECT *
FROM construction AS T2
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT project,MAX(report_date)
FROM construction
GROUP BY project
) AS R(project, report_date)
ON T2.project = R.project
AND T2.report_date = R.report_date;
You should specific the MAX(report_date) with an alias report_date.
Because your table R have two columns project,MAX(report_date).
You are getting this error because you have not specified column name for inner query
You have to write your query as
SELECT *
FROM construction
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT project,MAX(report_date)"Max_ReportDate"
FROM construction
GROUP BY project
) Max_construction
ON construction.project = Max_construction .project
AND construction.report_date = Max_construction .Max_ReportDate

DB2 Alternate to EXISTS Function

I have the below query in my application which was running on DB2:
SELECT COD.POST_CD,CLS.CLASS,COD2.STATUS_CD
FROM DC01.POSTAL_CODES COD
INNER JOIN DC02.STATUS_CODES COD2
ON COD.ORDER=COD2.ORDER
INNER JOIN DC02.VALID_ORDERS ORD
ON ORD.ORDER=COD.ORDER
WHERE
(
( EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM DC00.PROCESS_ORDER PRD
WHERE PRD.ORDER=COD.ORDER
AND PRD.IDNUM=COD.IDNUM
)
) OR
( EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM DC00.PENDING_ORDER PND
WHERE PND.ORDER=COD.ORDER
AND PND.IDNUM=COD.IDNUM
)
)
)
AND EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM DC00.CUSTOM_ORDER CRD
WHERE CRD.ORDER=COD.ORDER
)
;
When we changed to UDB (LUW v9.5) we are getting the below warning:
IWAQ0003W SQL warnings were found
SQLState=01602 Performance of this complex query might be sub-optimal.
Reason code: "3".. SQLCODE=437, SQLSTATE=01602, DRIVER=4.13.111
I know this warning is due to the EXISTS () OR EXISTS statements. But I am not sure any other way I can write this query to replace. If it is AND, I could have made an INNER JOIN, but I am not able to change this condition as it is OR. Can any one suggest better way to replace these EXISTS Statements?
