Why isn't my simple unmatched query not working? - sql

SELECT [Denial Query].BlPerFct_RcvGrpBlPerId, ATBDetailDaily.ClaimNo,
ATBDetailDaily.EncRpt_EncStsMne, ATBDetailDaily.Payer,
ATBDetailDaily.PayerHealthPlan, ATBDetailDaily.EncStpDate,
ATBDetailDaily.BlPerFct_TotBalAmt
FROM ATBDetailDaily
LEFT JOIN [Denial Query] ON
ATBDetailDaily.[BlPerFct_RcvGrpBlPerId] = [Denial Query].[BlPerFct_RcvGrpBlPerId]
WHERE ((([Denial Query].BlPerFct_RcvGrpBlPerId)="IsNull")
AND ((ATBDetailDaily.Payer)<>"Guar - Pers"));
I’m trying to get the BlPerFct_RcvGrpBlPerId rows that are in the ATBDetailDaily, that are not in the Denial Query.... I'm just trying to extract all rows out of the ATBDetailDaily that are not captured in the Denial Query using a unique identifier.

Your WHERE clause should read:
WHERE [Denial Query].BlPerFct_RcvGrpBlPerId Is Null
Currently you're asking it to match the literal string "IsNull", but what you need to do is check if is exists at all, which is what the Is Null comparison does.

Ambigously defined column in a subquery

I've the following subquery in an sql query:
(
SELECT ID_PLAN, ID_CURSO, NEDICION, NOMBRE AS NOMBREUNIDAD FROM ASISTEN, ALUMNOS, UNIDADES
WHERE ASISTEN.COD = ALUMNOS.COD AND UNIDADES.IDESTRUCTURA = ALUMNOS.IDESTRUCTURA
AND UNIDADES.CDUNDORG = ALUMNOS.CDUNDORG
AND UPPER(TRANSLATE(UNIDADES.NOMBRE, 'áéíóúÁÉÍÓÚ', 'aeiouAEIOU')) LIKE '%CONSEJERIA%'
GROUP BY ID_PLAN, ID_CURSO, NEDICION) ASIS
Problem I have I believe lies in that both table ALUMNOS and UNIDADES have a column named 'NOMBRE' so if I attempt to execute the query I obtain:
00000 - "column ambiguously defined"
To avoid that I thought about changing NOMBRE AS NOMBREUNIDAD to:
UNIDADES.NOMBRE AS NOMBREUNIDAD
But if I do that I get a:
00000 - "not a GROUP BY expression"
So, I don't know what to do so that subquery executes properly.
What should I change to properly execute query without changing the column name?
Aliases are pretty useful, if you use them. The simplify queries and make them easier to read and maintain. I'd suggest you to do so, as it'll also help query to work because Oracle doesn't know which table you actually meant when you selected those 4 columns - which tables do they belong to?
This is just a guess as I don't know your tables so you'll have to fix it yourself. Also, I literally JOINed tables; try to avoid comma-separating them in FROM clause and doing join in WHERE clause as it is supposed to filter data.
GROUP BY, as already commented, is probably useless. If you wanted to fetch distinct set of values, then use appropriate keyword: distinct.
SELECT DISTINCT n.id_plan,
s.id_curso,
u.nedicion,
u.nombre
FROM asisten n
JOIN alumnos s ON n.cod = s.cod
JOIN unidades u
ON u.idestructura = s.idestructura
AND u.cdundorg = s.cdundorg
WHERE UPPER (TRANSLATE (u.nombre, 'áéíóúÁÉÍÓÚ', 'aeiouAEIOU')) LIKE '%CONSEJERIA%'
I managed to solve my problem:
(
SELECT ID_PLAN, ID_CURSO, NEDICION, UNIDADES.NOMBRE AS NOMBREUNIDAD
FROM ASISTEN, ALUMNOS, UNIDADES
WHERE ASISTEN.COD = ALUMNOS.COD AND UNIDADES.IDESTRUCTURA = ALUMNOS.IDESTRUCTURA
AND UNIDADES.CDUNDORG = ALUMNOS.CDUNDORG
AND UPPER(TRANSLATE(UNIDADES.NOMBRE, 'áéíóúÁÉÍÓÚ', 'aeiouAEIOU')) LIKE '%CONSEJERIA%'
GROUP BY UNIDADES.NOMBRE,ID_PLAN, ID_CURSO, NEDICION
)

Snowflake ignores statement in where clause where I'm comparing timestamps

so I'm building a SCD type 2 in snowflake, but it ignores the where clause in which is comparision between "to_timestamp" and "expiry_date". Expiry_date is a variable that is set to '9999-08-17 07:31:29.901000000' (as infinity) and To_timestamp is a column in table. I want to query only the rows that have to_timestamp set to infinity (they are still active) but snowflake seems to ignore this part of where clause. Below is some of the code (it should update the rows that are expired - that means change their "to_timestamp" to current time. and it does but it does to rows with timestamps of all kind - it ignores last line)
SET EXPIRY_DATE_NTZ = '9999-08-17 07:31:29.901000000';
SET CURRENT_DATE_NTZ = TO_TIMESTAMP_NTZ(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP());
UPDATE CUSTOMER_TARGET CT
SET CT.TO_TIMESTAMP = $CURRENT_DATE_NTZ
FROM POC.SNOWFLAKE_POC.CUSTOMER_STAGE CS
WHERE CT.C_CUSTOMER_ID = CS.C_CUSTOMER_ID
AND (CT.C_FIRST_NAME <> CS.C_FIRST_NAME OR CT.C_LAST_NAME <> CS.C_LAST_NAME OR CT.C_BIRTH_YEAR
<> CS.C_BIRTH_YEAR OR CT.C_BIRTH_COUNTRY <> CS.C_BIRTH_COUNTRY OR CT.C_LAST_REVIEW_DATE<>CS.C_LAST_REVIEW_DATE)
AND CT.TO_TIMESTAMP = $EXPIRY_DATE_NTZ;
I have two of these update statements (one for updates and one for deletes) and a merge statement for inserts. And it ignores the comparision in every single one, updating the rows that have "to_timestamp" set to something like "2021-08-24 07:11:53.510000000". I've tried every combination possible (between ... and ..., >= ... <=, <=, >=, comparing in "case" statement of update,...) - nothing. What could be the cause/solution?
As we do not know the structure of CUSTOMER_TARGET I would suggest to explicitly set the data type of EXPIRY_DATE_NTZ variable to match the column data type:
SET EXPIRY_DATE_NTZ = '9999-08-17 07:31:29.901000000';
SELECT $EXPIRY_DATE_NTZ;
DESCRIBE RESULT LAST_QUERY_ID();
to:
-- TIMESTAMP_NTZ as an example
SET EXPIRY_DATE_NTZ = '9999-08-17 07:31:29.901000000'::TIMESTAMP_NTZ;
SELECT $EXPIRY_DATE_NTZ;
DESCRIBE RESULT LAST_QUERY_ID();
By doing that way there are no "implicit conversions" involved in the process.
Another advice is usage of IS DISTINCT FROM instead of <>. IS DISTINCT FROM is NULL safe, which is important if columns are defined as nullable.
UPDATE CUSTOMER_TARGET CT
SET CT.TO_TIMESTAMP = $CURRENT_DATE_NTZ
FROM POC.SNOWFLAKE_POC.CUSTOMER_STAGE CS
WHERE CT.C_CUSTOMER_ID = CS.C_CUSTOMER_ID
AND (CT.C_FIRST_NAME IS DISTINCT FROM CS.C_FIRST_NAME
OR CT.C_LAST_NAME IS DISTINCT FROM CS.C_LAST_NAME
OR CT.C_BIRTH_YEAR IS DISTINCT FROM CS.C_BIRTH_YEAR
OR CT.C_BIRTH_COUNTRY IS DISTINCT FROM CS.C_BIRTH_COUNTRY
OR CT.C_LAST_REVIEW_DATE IS DISTINCT FROM CS.C_LAST_REVIEW_DATE)
AND CT.TO_TIMESTAMP = $EXPIRY_DATE_NTZ;
Your SQL does not have any issues with the filters (ORs are surrounded by the brackets etc). I assume that you have checked the execution profile, and did not see your filter (CT.TO_TIMESTAMP = '9999-08-17 07:31:29.901000000'). In this case, all rows in the target table should have this value in the column TO_TIMESTAMP.
I highly recommend you check the data first. If you are running multiple UPDATE/MERGE commands, you may miss that the data has already updated with this value.

Handle null values within SQL IN clause

I have following sql query in my hbm file. The SCHEMA, A and B are schema and two tables.
select
*
from SCHEMA.A os
inner join SCHEMA.B o
on o.ORGANIZATION_ID = os.ORGANIZATION_ID
where
case
when (:pass = 'N' and os.ORG_ID in (:orgIdList)) then 1
when (:pass = 'Y') then 1
end = 1
and (os.ORG_SYNONYM like :orgSynonym or :orgSynonym is null)
This is a pretty simple query. I had to use the case - when to handle the null value of "orgIdList" parameter(when null is passed to sql IN it gives error). Below is the relevant java code which sets the parameter.
if (_orgSynonym.getOrgIdList().isEmpty()) {
query.setString("orgIdList", "pass");
query.setString("pass", "Y");
} else {
query.setString("pass", "N");
query.setParameterList("orgIdList", _orgSynonym.getOrgIdList());
}
This works and give me the expected output. But I would like to know if there is a better way to handle this situation(orgIdList sometimes become null).
There must be at least one element in the comma separated list that defines the set of values for the IN expression.
In other words, regardless of Hibernate's ability to parse the query and to pass an IN(), regardless of the support of this syntax by particular databases (PosgreSQL doesn't according to the Jira issue), Best practice is use a dynamic query here if you want your code to be portable (and I usually prefer to use the Criteria API for dynamic queries).
If not need some other work around like what you have done.
or wrap the list from custom list et.

Logical operator sql query going weirdly wrong

I am trying to fetch results from my sqlite database by providing a date range.
I have been able to fetch results by providing 3 filters
1. Name (textfield1)
2. From (date)(textfield2)
3. To (date)(textfield3)
I am inserting these field values taken from form into a table temp using following code
Statement statement6 = db.createStatement("INSERT INTO Temp(date,amount_bill,narration) select date,amount,narration from Bills where name=\'"+TextField1.getText()+"\' AND substr(date,7)||substr(date,4,2)||substr(date,1,2) <= substr (\'"+TextField3.getText()+"\',7)||substr (\'"+TextField3.getText()+"\',4,2)||substr (\'"+TextField3.getText()+"\',1,2) AND substr(date,7)||substr(date,4,2)||substr(date,1,2) >= substr (\'"+TextField2.getText()+"\',7)||substr (\'"+TextField2.getText()+"\',4,2)||substr (\'"+TextField2.getText()+"\',1,2) ");
statement6.prepare();
statement6.execute();
statement6.close();
Now if i enter the following input in my form for the above filters
1.Ricky
2.01/02/2012
3.28/02/2012
It fetches date between these date ranges perfectly.
But now i want to insert values that are below and above these 2 date ranges provided.
I have tried using this code.But it doesnt show up any result.I simply cant figure where the error is
The below code is to find entries having date lesser than 01/02/2012 and greater than 28/02/2012.
Statement statementVII = db.createStatement("INSERT INTO Temp5(date,amount_rec,narration) select date,amount,narration from Bills where name=\'"+TextField1.getText()+"\' AND substr(date,7)||substr(date,4,2)||substr(date,1,2) < substr (\'"+TextField2.getText()+"\',7)||substr (\'"+TextField2.getText()+"\',4,2)||substr (\'"+TextField2.getText()+"\',1,2) AND substr(date,7)||substr(date,4,2)||substr(date,1,2) > substr (\'"+TextField3.getText()+"\',7)||substr (\'"+TextField3.getText()+"\',4,2)||substr (\'"+TextField3.getText()+"\',1,2)");
statementVII.prepare();
statementVII.execute();
statementVII.close();
Anyone sound on this,please guide.Thanks.
you need to use an Or clause together with brackets:
WHERE name='....' AND (yourDateField<yourLowerDate OR yourDateField>yourHigherDate)

Comparing Date Values in Access - Data Type Mismatch in Criteria Expression

i'm having an issue comparing a date in an access database. basically i'm parsing out a date from a text field, then trying to compare that date to another to only pull newer/older records.
so far i have everything working, but when i try to add the expression to the where clause, it's acting like it's not a date value.
here's the full SQL:
SELECT
Switch(Isdate(TRIM(LEFT(bc_testingtickets.notes, Instr(bc_testingtickets.notes, ' ')))) = false, 'NOT ASSIGNED!!!') AS [Assigned Status],
TRIM(LEFT(bc_testingtickets.notes, Instr(bc_testingtickets.notes, ' '))) AS [Last Updated Date],
bc_testingtickets.notes AS [Work Diary],
bc_testingtickets.ticket_id,
clients.client_code,
bc_profilemain.SYSTEM,
list_picklists.TEXT,
list_picklists_1.TEXT,
list_picklists_2.TEXT,
list_picklists_3.TEXT,
bc_testingtickets.createdate,
bc_testingtickets.completedate,
Datevalue(TRIM(LEFT([bc_TestingTickets].[notes], Instr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes], ' ')))) AS datetest
FROM list_picklists AS list_picklists_3
RIGHT JOIN (list_picklists AS list_picklists_2
RIGHT JOIN (list_picklists AS list_picklists_1
RIGHT JOIN (bc_profilemain
RIGHT JOIN (((bc_testingtickets
LEFT JOIN clients
ON
bc_testingtickets.broker = clients.client_id)
LEFT JOIN list_picklists
ON
bc_testingtickets.status = list_picklists.id)
LEFT JOIN bc_profile2ticketmapping
ON bc_testingtickets.ticket_id =
bc_profile2ticketmapping.ticket_id)
ON bc_profilemain.id =
bc_profile2ticketmapping.profile_id)
ON list_picklists_1.id = bc_testingtickets.purpose)
ON list_picklists_2.id = bc_profilemain.destination)
ON list_picklists_3.id = bc_profilemain.security_type
WHERE ( ( ( list_picklists.TEXT ) <> 'Passed'
AND ( list_picklists.TEXT ) <> 'Failed'
AND ( list_picklists.TEXT ) <> 'Rejected' )
AND ( ( bc_testingtickets.ticket_id ) <> 4386 ) )
GROUP BY bc_testingtickets.notes,
bc_testingtickets.ticket_id,
clients.client_code,
bc_profilemain.SYSTEM,
list_picklists.TEXT,
list_picklists_1.TEXT,
list_picklists_2.TEXT,
list_picklists_3.TEXT,
bc_testingtickets.createdate,
bc_testingtickets.completedate,
DateValue(TRIM(LEFT([bc_TestingTickets].[notes], Instr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes], ' '))))
ORDER BY Datevalue(TRIM(LEFT([bc_TestingTickets].[notes], Instr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes], ' '))));
the value i'm trying to compare against a various date is this:
DateValue(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' '))))
if i add a section to the where clause like below, i get the Data Type Mismatch error:
WHERE DateValue(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' ')))) > #4/1/2012#
i've even tried using the DateValue function around the manual date i'm testing with but i still get the mismatch error:
WHERE DateValue(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' ')))) > DateValue("4/1/2012")
any tips on how i can compare a date in this method? i can't change any fields in the database, ect, that's why i'm parsing the date in SQL and trying to manipulate it so i can run reports against it.
i've tried googling but nothing specifically talks about parsing a date from text and converting it to a date object. i think it may be a bug or the way the date is being returned from the left/trim functions. you can see i've added a column to the end of the SELECT statement called DateTest and it's obvious access is treating it like a date (when the query is run, it asks to sort by oldest to newest/newest to oldest instead of A-Z or Z-A), unlike the second column in the select.
thanks in advance for any tips/clues on how i can query based on the date.
edit:
i just tried the following statements in my where clause and still getting a mismatch:
CDate(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' ')))) > #4/1/2012#
CDate(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' ')))) >
CDate("4/1/2012") CDate(DateValue(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[‌​notes],' '))))) > #4/1/2012#
i tried with all the various combinations i could think of regarding putting CDate inside of DateValue, outside, ect. the CDate function does look like what i should be using though. not sure why it's still throwing the error.
here's a link to a screenshot showing the results of the query http://ramonecung.com/access.jpg. there's two screenshots in one image.
You reported you get Data Type Mismatch error with this WHERE clause.
WHERE DateValue(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],
InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' ')))) > #4/1/2012#
That makes me wonder whether [bc_TestingTickets].[notes] can ever be Null, either because the table design allows Null for that field, or Nulls are prohibited by the design but are present in the query's set of candidate rows as the result of a LEFT or RIGHT JOIN.
If Nulls are present, your situation may be similar to this simple query which also triggers the data type mismatch error:
SELECT DateValue(Trim(Left(Null,InStr(Null,' '))));
If that proves to be the cause of your problem, you will have to design around it somehow. I can't offer a suggestion about how you should do that. Trying to analyze your query scared me away. :-(
It seems like you are having a problem with the type conversion. In this case, I believe that you are looking for the CDate function.
A problem might be the order of the date parts. A test in the Immediate window shows this
?cdate(#4/1/2012#)
01.04.2012
?cdate(#2012/1/4#)
04.01.2012
Write the dates backwards in the format yyyy/MM/dd and thus avoiding inadverted swapping of days and months!
DateValue("2012/1/4")
and
CDate(#2012/1/4#)
