I have this complicated SQL query for Oracle that I want to visualize in a diagram to make it understandable for my co-workers. I tried at http://snowflakejoins.com but it just chokes on it.
Has someone a better suggestion? I prefer a web-app on the internet and if not a desktop app for windows.
with
logs as (
select
l.job_id,
l.subjob,
sum(l.verwerkt) verwerkt,
sum(l.errors) errors,
max(l.datum) laatst
from
dinf_monitor_logs l,
dinf_monitor_jobs j
where
l.datum>sysdate-j.dagen
and j.job_id=l.job_id(+)
group by
l.job_id,
l.subjob
),
alllogs as (
select job_id, subjob, max(datum) laatst from dinf_monitor_logs group by job_id, subjob
)
select row_number() over(order by alllogs.job_id, alllogs.subjob) r,
alllogs.job_id,
alljobs.naam,
alllogs.subjob,
logs.verwerkt,
logs.errors,
alllogs.laatst datum,
alljobs.wikilink,
alljobs.loglink,
alljobs.contact,
case
when alllogs.laatst is null then 1
when round(sysdate-(alllogs.laatst+alljobs.dagen))<0 then 0
else round(sysdate-(alllogs.laatst+alljobs.dagen))
end overtijd,
case
when logs.errors-alljobs.max_errors>0 then 5
when logs.verwerkt-alljobs.min_verwerkt<0 then 7
when round(sysdate-(alllogs.laatst+alljobs.dagen))>0 then 3
else 11
end status
from logs, alllogs, (select job_id, naam, wikilink, loglink, contact, dagen, min_verwerkt, max_errors from dinf_monitor_jobs) alljobs
where
logs.job_id(+)=alllogs.job_id
and logs.subjob(+)=alllogs.subjob
and alllogs.job_id=alljobs.job_id
order by alllogs.job_id, alllogs.subjob
You can use the "Query Builder" tab of the Oracle's SQL Developer.
The result of your sample query will be:
Each of the sub queries are data sets, I would just make a plain English statement of what the query does, then describe the data sets and how they relate to one another in an entity-relationship manner, then show how the query satisfies the plain English statement. You can represent the E-R with any variety of tools.
Have found how to do it in Toad, which i prefer above Sql Developer.
Open the editorwindow, paste the sql, rightclick in the editorwindow and select "Send to queryviewer"
My sql above is too complicated to use this technique but it's nice to know i can use it in the future with more "normal" queries.
Points to Sergio.

please I want your help
I will start working on data mining project using sql server for database.
I have big database and before I start working on my project for sure I need to do data cleaning on my database, so
please I want your suggestions what I need to do, like removing duplicate, and removing spaces from some columns ? what else and what I need to do to be sure that my data are ready to start working on it with data mining process like clustering and decisions tree ......
Also please if you have any useful videos for Data mining in general using SQL Server Management studio - sql server cleaning data
Thanks a lot in Advance...
If you want to delete duplicates, you can use recursive CTE. I recommend this website for further information on how to: SQLServerTutorial
WITH cte AS (
SELECT
YourColumns
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (
PARTITION BY
YourColumns
ORDER BY
YourColumns
) row_num
FROM
YourTable
)
DELETE FROM cte
WHERE row_num > 1;
Regarding removing blank spaces, I recommend TRIM, LTRIM & RTRIM. For further information: W3Schools
SELECT TRIM(Column) FROM YourTable

I have a bunch of Oracle SQL queries I'd like to prepare some visual model / diagrams for. For example, to show all of the tables, the joins, and the join conditions.
Does such a tool exist?
Yes, Oracle SQL Developer, and it's included with your license of Oracle Database...in other words, it's free.
Bonus, it's Java, so will run on Windows, OS X, and Linux.
Open a connection, this give you a SQL Worksheet.
Type your query, example:
select b.extra_column
,b.department_id
,b.department_name
,b.manager_id
,b.location_id
,c.employee_id
,c.first_name
,c.last_name
,c.email
,c.phone_number
,c.hire_date
,c.job_id
,c.salary
,c.commission_pct
,c.manager_id
,c.department_id
,a.location_id
,a.street_address
,a.postal_code
,a.city
,a.state_province
,a.country_id
from departments b
,locations a
,employees c
where a.location_id = b.location_id
and c.employee_id = b.manager_id
and b.department_id = c.department_id;
Click the Query Builder tab.
Voila.
Note there is a performance bug in current version, will be fixed for version 18.2. In other words, it will take a few moments to render the diagram for you today.

In the past year or so, I have been spending most of time working with noSQL databases. That said, I have started a new job that works with a SQL database and SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Any suggestions that would improve readability and make the query more concise would be much appreciated.
SELECT DISTINCT
[db1].[id] as "Node ID",
[db2].[name] as "Node Name",
[db3].[name] as "ISP",
[db4].[name] as "City",
CASE
WHEN [db1].[object_type_id] = 17
THEN 'Client'
WHEN [db1].[synthetic_location].[object_type_id] = 5
THEN 'System'
WHEN [db1].[object_type_id] IS NULL
THEN 'System'
END AS Type
FROM
[db1].[synthetic_location]
JOIN
[db2].[machine] ON [db2].[synthetic_location_id] IS NULL
JOIN
[db3].[internet_service_provider] ON [db3].[id] = [db1].[internet_service_provider_id]
JOIN
[db4].[geography_city] ON [db4].[geography_city].[id] = [db1].[synthetic_location].[geography_city_id]
WHERE
[db2].[status_type_id] < 1
AND [db1].[flags] = 6
Your query looks fine and is perfectly readable with one exception;
You should explicitly state INNER JOIN instead of just JOIN as it makes the intention clearer.
You can use tools like SSMS Boost or SQL complete that will help you to format the queries and those tools have so many additional features that can save lot of your time

I am using classic asp to produce a website and am using the below SQL statement, the database is SQL Server 2000.
SELECT * from dbo.PDBproductview where product LIKE '" & partnumbersearch &"%';"
However we now also require forward and back buttons to move forward and backwards by part number - not sure how to achieve this - my initial thought was to run another sql query and somehow get the placement of the part in the part table (product) then to pick out the part before and after it, is it possible to do this ?
You don't say what version of SQL Server you are using. However, if you are using SQL Server 2012 or higher, the LEAD and LAG functions will allow you to achieve what you want to do.
Here is a pretty good article you can use as a guide. Essentially it looks something like this:
SELECT LAG(p.FirstName) OVER (ORDER BY p.BusinessEntityID) PreviousValue,
p.FirstName, LEAD(p.FirstName) OVER (ORDER BY p.BusinessEntityID) NextValue
FROM Person.Person p
With the LEAD and LAG functions, you can indicate how far back or forward you want to look.

I am new to databases. And our teacher gave us pretty hard assignment. There are two tables. First table nickname is abilities(of superhero's:) ) and second table name superheros.
We have to select nick of Superhero and his average(medial) range for those who has two abilities?
Image of both tables:
Original here: http://postimg.org/image/85pqbc47n/
I will not give you solution - after all, it's homework and you have to learn something :) But I can give you an advice - try to do one task at a time
first, find those superheroes who has only 2 abilities (actually, you can do this by quering only table with abilities)
second - try to find average range of abilities for all superheroes (here you'll need join)
combine your queries
take a look at join, group by, count and having
Don't feel bad if you can't write it at first attempt, your query is not super easy, but 'm sure you can do this.
You can use HAVING and AVG() for this:
SELECT s.NickName, AVG(a.Range)
FROM abilities a
JOIN superhero s
ON a.ID_SuperHero = s.ID_SuperHero
GROUP BY s.NickName
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT a.Abilities > 1)
