I am retreiving values from a Table which in turn i am comparing with values from another table using the SQL keywords 'EXCEPT'
My query looks something like follows
SELECT DISTINCT TDC_TREE_FAMILY_CLASSIFICATION AS DPC_Level1,
TDC_TREE_CLASSIFICATION AS DPC_Level2,
TDC_TREE_SUB_CLASSIFICATION AS DPC_Level3
FROM TD_DATA_PACK_CONTENTS
EXCEPT
SELECT DPC_Level1,DPC_Level2,DPC_Level3 FROM DATA_PACK_CATEGORIES
ORDER BY DPC_Level1
Now this query works fine . What i want to do is save the results in a single string variable.
So I declare 3 temps variables to save the values of DPC_Level1,Lvl2,Lvl3 and then i can join them into a single string variable.
So i modify my Query like this.
SELECT DISTINCT #m_DPC_Level11=TDC_TREE_FAMILY_CLASSIFICATION AS DPC_Level1
,#m_DPC_Level2=TDC_TREE_CLASSIFICATION AS DPC_Level2,
,#m_DPC_Level13=TDC_TREE_SUB_CLASSIFICATION AS DPC_Level3
FROM TD_DATA_PACK_CONTENTS
EXCEPT
SELECT DPC_Level1,DPC_Level2,DPC_Level3 FROM DATA_PACK_CATEGORIES
ORDER BY DPC_Level1
But this throws the error
'A SELECT statement that assigns a value to a variable must not be
combined with data-retrieval operations'
. How i resolve this issue. I am using SQL Server 2008
I would go for a subquery
select #m_DPC_LEvel11 = DPC_Level1,
#m_DPC_Level2 = DPC_Level2,
#m_DPC_Level13 = DPC_Level3,
FROM
(SELECT DISTINCT TDC_TREE_FAMILY_CLASSIFICATION AS DPC_Level1,
TDC_TREE_CLASSIFICATION AS DPC_Level2,
TDC_TREE_SUB_CLASSIFICATION AS DPC_Level3
FROM TD_DATA_PACK_CONTENTS
EXCEPT
SELECT DPC_Level1,DPC_Level2,DPC_Level3 FROM DATA_PACK_CATEGORIES
ORDER BY DPC_Level1) s

I have written a query like this :
select *
from DATASYNCH_HA_TO_TRG_AUDIT_HIST
where PSX_BATCH_ID IN (select PSX_BATCH_ID
from DATASYNCH_HA_TO_TRG_AUDIT_T
);
Here,when I execute the sub-query alone, it results some values and when I put those values in the place of sub-query the main query also returns some values.But,when I use this whole query ,it does not result any values.How is it possible?
Hope PSX_BATCH_ID column datatype is integer. if it is varchar filed, then trim the value.
SELECT *
FROM DATASYNCH_HA_TO_TRG_AUDIT_HIST
WHERE TRIM(PSX_BATCH_ID) IN
(SELECT TRIM(PSX_BATCH_ID) FROM DATASYNCH_HA_TO_TRG_AUDIT_T);
Instead of using IN query, use JOIN
SELECT *
FROM DATASYNCH_HA_TO_TRG_AUDIT_HIST A
INNER JOIN DATASYNCH_HA_TO_TRG_AUDIT_T B
ON (A.PSX_BATCH_ID = B.PSX_BATCH_ID)
Really Sorry guys,I found out it was actually a database issue.I ran the query recently in a procedure,it is working fine.
I am currently working with a MS SQL database on Windows 2012 Server
I need to query only 1 column from a table that I only have access to read, not make any kind of changes.
Problem is that the name of the column is "Value"
My code is this:
SELECT 'Value' FROM table
If I add
`ORDER BY 'Value'`
The issue is that the query is returning an empty list of results.
Things I've tried already
I tried replacing ' with `"' but this didn't work either.
I also tried writing SELECT * instead of SELECT VALUE
Using the table name in the SELECT or ORDER clauses again didn't help
You are claiming that this query:
SELECT 'Value'
FROM table
ORDER BY 'Value'
Is returning no rows. That's not quite correct. It is returning an error because SQL Server does not allow constant expressions as keys for ORDER BY (or GROUP BY for that matter).
Do not use single quotes. In this case:
SELECT 'Value' as val
FROM table
ORDER BY val;
Or, if value is a column in the table:
SELECT t.Value
FROM table t
ORDER BY t.Value;
Value is not a reserved word in SQL Server, but if it were, you could escape it:
SELECT t.[Value]
FROM table t
ORDER BY t.[Value];
it looks like your table has null values. and because of the order by all null values come first.
try to add filter like this
select Value FROM table
where Value is not null and Value <> ''
order by Value
Is it possible to use the input from one field of the database for another query in combination with the IN statement. The point is that in the sting, I use for IN, contains several by comma separated values:
SELECT id, name
FROM refPlant
WHERE id IN (SELECT cover
FROM meta_characteristic
WHERE id = 2);
the string of the subquery is: 1735,1736,1737,1738,1739,1740,1741,1742,1743,1744
The query above give me only the first element of the string. But when I put the string directly in the query, I get all the ten elements:
SELECT id, name
FROM refPlant
WHERE id IN (735,1736,1737,1738,1739,1740,1741,1742,1743,1744);
Is it possible to have all ten elements and not only one with query like the first one.
My sql version is 10.1.16-MariaDB
You can use FIND_IN_SET in the join condition.
SELECT r.id, r.name
FROM refPlant r
JOIN (SELECT * FROM meta_characteristic m WHERE id=2) m
ON FIND_IN_SET(r.id,m.cover) > 0
If you use a sub-query as in the first code snippet you will get a filter for each row returned from it. It will not work when it returns as a single string field.
SELECT id, name
FROM refPlant
WHERE FIND_IN_SET(id, (SELECT cover
FROM meta_charateristic
WHERE id = 2));
in Hive I'd like to dynamically extract information from a table, save it in a variable and further use it. Consider the following example, where I retrieve the maximum of column var and want to use it as a condition in the subsequent query.
set maximo=select max(var) from table;
select
*
from
table
where
var=${hiveconf:maximo}
It does not work, although
set maximo=select max(var) from table;
${hiveconf:maximo}
shows me the intended result.
Doing:
select '${hiveconf:maximo}'
gives
"select max(var) from table"
though.
Best
Hive substitutes variables as is and does not execute them. Use shell wrapper script to get result into variable and pass it to your Hive script.
maximo=$(hive -e "set hive.cli.print.header=false; select max(var) from table;")
hive -hiveconf "maximo"="$maximo" -f your_hive_script.hql
And after this inside your script you can use select '${hiveconf:maximo}'

Whilst it's not possible to do exactly what you want from Hue -- a constant source of frustration for me -- if you are restricted to Hue, and can't use a shell wrapper as suggested above, there are workarounds depending on the scenario.
When I once wanted to set a variable by selecting the max of a column in a table to use in a query, I got round it like this:
I first put the result into a table comprising two columns, with the (arbitrary word) 'MAX_KEY' in one column and the result of the max calculation in the other, like this:
drop table if exists tam_seg.tbl_stg_temp_max_id;
create table tam_seg.tbl_stg_temp_max_id as
select
'MAX_KEY' as max_key
, max(pvw_id) as max_id
from
tam_seg.tbl_dim_cc_phone_vs_web;
I then added the word 'MAX_KEY' to a sub-query then joined in the above table so I could use the result in the main query:
select
-- *** here is the joined in value from the table being used ***
cast(mxi.max_id + qry.temp_id as string) as pvw_id
, qry.cc_phone_vs_web
from
(
select
snp.cc_phone_vs_web
, row_number() over(order by snp.cc_phone_vs_web) as temp_id
-- *** here is the key being added to the sub-query ***
, 'MAX_KEY' as max_key
from
(
select distinct cc_phone_vs_web from tam_seg.tbl_stg_base_snapshots
) as snp
left outer join
tam_seg.tbl_dim_cc_phone_vs_web as pvw
on snp.cc_phone_vs_web = pvw.cc_phone_vs_web
where
pvw.cc_phone_vs_web is null
) as qry
-- *** here is the table with the select result in being joined in ***
left outer join
tam_seg.tbl_stg_temp_max_id as mxi
on qry.max_key = mxi.max_key
;
Not sure if this is your scenario but maybe it can be adapted. I'm 99% sure you can't just put a select statement directly into a variable in Hue though.
If I am doing something in just Hue I would probably do the temporary table and join method. But if I were using a shall wrapper anyway I would definitely do it there.
I hope this helps.
I would like to know if is it possible to use the clause "with as" with a variable and/or in a block begin/end.
My code is
WITH EDGE_TMP
AS
(select edge.node_beg_id,edge.node_end_id,prg_massif.longueur,prg_massif.lgvideoupartage,prg_massif.lgsanscable from prg_massif
INNER JOIN edge on prg_massif.asset_id=edge.asset_id
where prg_massif.lgvideoupartage LIKE '1' OR prg_massif.lgsanscable LIKE '1')
,
journey (TO_TOWN, STEPS,DISTANCE,WAY)
AS
(SELECT DISTINCT node_beg_id, 0, 0, CAST(&&node_begin AS VARCHAR2(2000))
FROM EDGE_TMP
WHERE node_beg_id = &&node_begin
UNION ALL
SELECT node_end_id, journey.STEPS + 1
, journey.DISTANCE + EDGE_TMP.longueur,
CONCAT(CONCAT(journey.WAY,';'), EDGE_TMP.node_end_id
)
It create a string as output separated by a ; but i need to get it back as variable or table do you know how? I used a concat to retrieve data in a big string. Can i use a table to insert data
,
A need to use the result to proceed more treatment.
Thank you,
mat
No, WITH is a part of an SQL statement only. But if you describe why you need it in pl/sql, we'll can advice you something.
Edit: if you have SQL statement which produces result you need, you can assign it's value to pl/sql variable. There are several methods to do this, simpliest is to use SELECT INTO statement (add INTO variable clause into your select).
You can use WITH clause as a part of SELECT INTO statement (at least in not-too-very-old Oracle versions).
