How to retrive the effective dated empid from PS_JOB table - sql

Question

I am new to peoplesoft. I can understand the effective date at a conceptual level, but I am still struggling with it in SQR. How do I retrieve the effective dated empid from PS_JOB table? How do I retrieve the valid empname from ps_names for the retrieved empid? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

the current name - from the ps_names_vw view
you can use a similar where clause for the ps_job table.
select a.emplid,
a.name_type,
a.effdt,
a.last_name,
a.first_name,
a.middle_name,
a.name_prefix,
a.name_suffix,
a.last_name_srch,
a.first_name_srch,
a.name_display
from ps_names a
where a.effdt = (select max (b.effdt)
from ps_names b
where b.emplid = a.emplid and
b.name_type = a.name_type and
b.effdt <= to_date (to_char (sysdate, 'YYYY-MM-DD'), 'YYYY-MM-DD'));

Answer 2

Join names and job table with their respective effective date. here i have taken A, L, P, S employees assuming you need active employees' names only. if not , you can remove empl_status criterion. Also you need to specify the name_type in the main criterion , otherwise multiple rows may be returned for one emplid.
SELECT * FROM PS_NAMES N, PS_JOB J
WHERE N.EMPLID = J.EMPLID
AND N.EFFDT = (SELECT MAX(N1.EFFDT) FROM PS_NAMES N1
WHERE N1.EMPLID= N.EMPLID
AND N1.NAME_TYPE = N.NAME_TYPE
AND N1.EFFDT <= SYSDATE)
AND J.EFFDT = (SELECT MAX(J1.EFFDT) FROM PS_JOB J1
WHERE J1.EMPLID = J.EMPLID
AND J1.EMPL_RCD = J.EMPL_RCD
AND J1.EFFDT <= SYSDATE)
AND J.EFFSEQ = (SELECT MAX(J2.EFFSEQ) FROM PS_JOB J2
WHERE J2.EMPLID = J.EMPLID
AND J2.EMPL_RCD = J.EMPL_RCD
AND J2.EFFDT = J.EFFDT)
AND J.EMPL_STATUS IN ('A','L','P','S')

Answer 3

The below query will fetch you the most recent data of an employee with Emplid 'XXX' from PS_JOB
SELECT * FROM PS_JOB J
WHERE J.EMPLID = 'XXX'
AND J.EFFDT = (SELECT MAX(J1.EFFDT)
FROM PS_JOB J1
WHERE J1.EMPLID =J.EMPLID
AND J1.EMPL_RCD = J.EMPL_RCD
AND J1.EFFDT < TRUNC(SYSDATE))
AND J.EMPL_RCD = ( SELECT MAX(J2.EMPL_RCD)
FROM PS_JOB J2
WHERE J2.EMPLID = J.EMPLID
AND J2.EFFDT = J.EFFDT )
AND J.EFFSEQ = ( SELECT MAX(J3.EFFSEQ)
FROM PS_JOB J3
WHERE J3.EMPLID = J.EMPLID
AND J3.EMPL_RCD = J.EMPL_RCD
AND J3.EFFDT = J.EFFDT)
ORDER BY J.EMPLID , J.EMPL_RCD, J.EFFDT, J.EFFSEQ
