How to delete DDIC table records which have different id than row number in internal table? - datagrid

I have an ALV with two rows. I want to delete these rows in internal table and dictionary table also. To get which rows in alv i chose, i use a method
go_selections = go_salv->get_selections( ).
go_rows = go_selections->get_selected_rows( )
Nextly, i am iterating through results LOOP AT go_rows INTO gv_row.
Inside above loop I have an another loop, which stores data from internal table into workarea. Then, i set the counter variable which holds the id of the dictionary table and delete respective row.
LOOP AT gr_data INTO lr_znewfdkey6.
counter2 = lr_znewfdkey6-id.
IF counter2 EQ gv_row.
DELETE FROM znew_fdkey01 WHERE id EQ lr_znewfdkey6-id.
MESSAGE 'Row deleted .' TYPE 'I'.
But unfortunately this works only when id of the dictionary table is equal to row number selected in alv. If I have lr_znewfdkey6-id in dictionary table, equal to for example 5, get_selected_rows( ) returns value started by one etc., and this will cause inequality.
How to fix this?

Get selected rows returns a table of line numbers.
lt_rows = lo_selections->get_selected_rows( ).
Those numbers correspond directly to the itab you loaded into the ALV. No matter if it has been sorted or filtered. It does not correspond to any fields in the database like an ID field or anything.
Assuming gr_datais the itab assigned to the ALV. Let's loop lt_rows and read gr_data at index
LOOP AT lt_rows ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<row>).
READ TABLE gr_data INTO ls_data INDEX <row>.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
APPEND ls_data TO lt_selected.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
After executing this will collect selected gr_data lines into lt_selected itab. To delete
LOOP AT lt_selected ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<row>).
DELETE TABLE gr_data FROM <row>.
ENDLOOP.
You could also simply do:
LOOP AT lt_rows ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<row>).
DELETE gr_data INDEX <row>.
ENDLOOP.
After that refresh your ALV. Should be good.

Converting a field to lower case and merging data in an sqlite database

I need to merge some randomly uppercased data that has been collected in an SQLite table key_val, such that key is always lowercase and no vals are lost. There is a unique compound index on key,val.
The initial data looks like this:
key|val
abc|1
abc|5
aBc|1
aBc|5
aBc|3
aBc|2
AbC|1
abC|3
The result after the merge would be
key|val
abc|1
abc|2
abc|3
abc|5
In my programmer brain, I would
for each `key` with upper case letters;
if a lower cased `key` is found with the same value
then delete `key`
else update `key` to lower case
Re implementing the loop has a sub query for each row found with upper case letters, to check if the val already exists as a lower case key
If it does, I can delete the cased key.
From there I can UPDATE key = lower(key) as the "duplicates" have been removed.
The first cut of the programming method of finding the dupes is:
SELECT * FROM key_val as parent
WHERE parent.key != lower(parent.key)
AND 0 < (
SELECT count(s.val) FROM key_val as s
WHERE s.key = lower(parent.key) AND s.val = parent.val
)
ORDER BY parent.key DESC;
I'm assuming there's a better way to do this in SQLite? The ON CONFLICT functionality seems to me like it should be able to handle the dupe deletion on UPDATE but I'm not seeing it.
First delete all the duplicates:
DELETE FROM key_val AS k1
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM key_val AS k2
WHERE LOWER(k2.key) = LOWER(k1.key) AND k2.val = k1.val AND k2.rowid < k1.rowid
);
by keeping only 1 combination of key and val with the min rowid.
It is not important if you kept the key with all lower chars or not, because the 2nd step is to update the table:
UPDATE key_val
SET key = LOWER(key);
See the demo.
Honestly it might just be easier to create a new table and then insert into it. As it seems you really just want a distinct select here, use:
INSERT INTO kev_val_new ("key", val)
SELECT DISTINCT LOWER("key"), val
FROM key_val;
Once you have populated the new table, you may drop the old one, and then rename the new one to the previous name:
DROP TABLE key_val;
ALTER TABLE key_val_new RENAME TO key_val;
I agree with #Tim that it would be easire to re-create table using simple select distict lower().. statement, but that's not always easy if table has dependant objects (indexes, triggers, views). In this case this can be done as sequence of two steps:
insert lowered keys which are not still there:
insert into t
select distinct lower(tr.key) as key, tr.val
from t as tr
left join t as ts on ts.key = lower(tr.key) and ts.val = tr.val
where ts.key is null;
now when we have all lowered keys - remove other keys:
delete from t where key <> lower(key);
See fiddle: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!5/84db50/11
However this method assumes that key is always populated (otherwise it would be a strange key)
If vals can be null then "ts.val = tr.val" should be replaced with more complex stuff like ifnull(ts.val, -1) = ifnull(tr.val, -1) where -1 is some unused value (can be different). If we can't assume any unused value like -1 then it should be more complex check for null / not null cases.

Delete only one column from the Target table even if there are multiple similar columns (Teradata)

I came across a situation where i have to delete a column from a table based on a condition from other table
Let me break it down to you!
There is a master table called MORTALITY (containing info regarding deceased individuals)
And another table called INC_MORTALITY (incremental mortality) table which is refreshed on a weekly basis
Note: Both the tables have similar format
So this week’s new records, containing both additional deceased individuals as well as updates of old data for previously delivered records. This is a single file with a column (OP_DIRECTIVE) specifying if it is an “add” or “delete” record.
Processing Weekly Files
To incorporate the weekly update file, we need to execute the following steps in order.
1. Delete rows in the master table which have a OP_DIRECTIVE = 'D' as the operation in the weekly update. For a given delete row, you should delete a single row in the master table which matches the delete record on all fields aside from the “D” operation column. Warning: please ensure you only delete, or mark as deleted, one record, even if more than one historical record fully matches this new delete record.
2. Add rows in the master table which appear in the “Add” file.
Upon completion of these steps, your master table should be the most up to date master of deaths.

(Note: THESE TABLES DOES NOT HAVE PRIMARY KEYS)
SO WHAT I TRIED:
DEL FROM MORTALITY MI
WHERE MI.DATA_SOURCE = INC_MORTALITY.DATA_SOURCE
AND MI.DD_IMP_FLAG = INC_MORTALITY.DD_IMP_FLAG
AND MI.DOB = INC_MORTALITY.DOB
AND MI.DOD = INC_MORTALITY.DOD
AND MI.DEATH_VERIFICATION = INC_MORTALITY.DEATH_VERIFICATION
AND MI.GENDER_PROBABILITY = INC_MORTALITY.GENDER_PROBABILITY
AND MI.GENDER = INC_MORTALITY.GENDER
AND MI.TOKEN_1 = INC_MORTALITY.TOKEN_1
AND MI.TOKEN_2 = INC_MORTALITY.TOKEN_2
AND MI.TOKEN_4 = INC_MORTALITY.TOKEN_4
AND MI.TOKEN_5 = INC_MORTALITY.TOKEN_5
AND MI.TOKEN_7 = INC_MORTALITY.TOKEN_7
AND MI.TOKEN_16 = INC_MORTALITY.TOKEN_16
AND MI.TOKEN_KEY = INC_MORTALITY.TOKEN_KEY
AND INC_MORTALITY.OP_DIRECTIVE = 'D'
The above Delete statement will delete all the rows satisfying the conditions, my requirement is to delete only one record even if more than one historical record fully matches this new delete record,
and if i include ROW NUMBER() stmt like below my DELETE stmt is not working
QUALIFY ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY MI.DATA_SOURCE,MI.DOB,MI.DOD
ORDER BY MI.DOD DESC ) = 1
Any suggestions on how to approach this scenario, Thanks!!
Approach to solution: Copy unmatched rows to a work table, then truncate the original table and replace with contents of the work table. One way to identify unmatched rows would be to tag each of the input rows in a set of duplicates with a unique number, something like this:
INSERT work_table SELECT MI.col1, MI.col2, ...
FROM
(SELECT M.*,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY <join cols> ORDER BY <some col(s)>) AS ROWNUM
FROM MORTALITY M) MI
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT I.*,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY <join cols> ORDER BY <some col(s)>) AS ROWNUM
FROM INC_MORTALITY I
WHERE OP_DIRECTIVE='D') INC
ON MI.join_col1 = INC.join_col1
AND MI.join_col2 = INC.join_col2
...
AND MI.ROWNUM = INC.ROWNUM
WHERE INC.ROWNUM IS NULL /* "anti-join" keeps only unmatched rows */
;
DELETE FROM MORTALITY;
INSERT MORTALITY SELECT * FROM work_table;
If INC_MORTALILTY never has duplicates, then you can eliminate numbering that relation and change the last join condition to MI.ROWNUM = 1 and use one of the other JOIN columns for the NULL check.

SQLite update trigger changes all rows in the table

Problem: a simplest possible update trigger writes a new value to all table rows instead of just the row being updated. Here is the table:
[names]
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
name TEXT
len INTEGER
Now I want to create triggers to update 'len' with the length of 'name'. This INSERT trigger seems to be doing the job corectly:
CREATE TRIGGER 'namelen' AFTER INSERT ON 'names'
BEGIN
UPDATE 'names' SET len = length(NEW.name) WHERE (id=NEW.id);
END;
Problems begin when I add a similar UPDATE trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER 'namelenupd' AFTER UPDATE ON 'names'
BEGIN
UPDATE 'names' SET len = length(NEW.name) WHERE (OLD.id=NEW.id);
END;
The update trigger writes the new length to all rows of the table, despite the WHERE clause. For example, if I say
UPDATE 'names' SET name='foo' where id=1;
then the value of 'len' becomes 3 for all rows of the table. I've looked at sqlite trigger examples and I can't see my error. What else must I do to make sure the trigger updates the 'len' column only in the row(s) that are actually updated?
Both OLD.xxx and NEW.xxx refer to the table row that caused the trigger to run.
The UPDATE statement inside the trigger runs independently; if you want to restrict it to one table row, you have to explicitly do this in its WHERE clause by filtering on that statement's table values, i.e., names.id or just id.
When the original UPDATE statement does not change the id column, the old and new id values are the same, and the expression OLD.id=NEW.id is true for all records in the table, as seen by the inner UPDATE statement.
The correct trigger looks like this:
CREATE TRIGGER "namelenupd"
AFTER UPDATE OF name ON "names"
BEGIN
UPDATE "names" SET len = length(NEW.name) WHERE id = NEW.id;
END;
Had the same issue, here's the syntax from my trigger
You would change "ALTER" to "CREATE" depending on what you already have (or not)
You have "id" as your primary key
Your dbo is "names"
Obviously, this will set the name value to "foo" (not really what you wanted). The key seems to be the last line, where you set inner join inserted on names.Id = inserted.Id.
USE [yourDBname]
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[yourTrigger]
ON [dbo].[names]
After INSERT, UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
Select id from inserted
begin
update [dbo].names
set [dbo].names.name = 'foo'
from dbo.names
inner join inserted
on names.id = inserted.id
END

PL/SQL - LAST_VALUE return more than one row?

I am doing an school assigment where I need to get the last value of "code" so I can then insert next row with this code incremented. I tried to pull it out this way.
DECLARE
v_last_code f_shifts.code%TYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT LAST_VALUE(code) OVER (ORDER BY code)
INTO v_last_code
FROM f_shifts;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Last value is: ' || v_last_code);
END;
However I get ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than one requested number of rows
and I have no idea why and how can a last_value be more than one row
Thanks !
You can use a nested table like this.
DECLARE
v_last_code f_shifts.code%TYPE;
TYPE t_tbl IS TABLE OF f_shifts.code%TYPE;
-- Above line creates the nested table type of the required type.
v_tbl T_TBL;
-- Above line creates the nested table variable.
BEGIN
SELECT code
BULK COLLECT INTO v_tbl -- collects all the values, ordered, into the nested table
FROM f_shifts
ORDER BY code;
v_last_code = v_tbl(v_tbl.LAST); -- gets the last values and puts into the variable
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Last value is: ' || v_last_code);
END;

MySQL Changing Order Depending On Contents of a Column

I have a MySQL table Page with 2 columns: PageID and OrderByMethod.
I also then have a Data table with lots of columns including PageID (the Page the data is on), DataName, and DataDate.
I want OrderByMethod to have one of three entries: Most Recent Data First, Most Recent Data Last, and Alphabetically.
Is there a way for me to tack an "ORDER BY" clause to the end of this query that will vary its ordering method based on the contents of the "OrderByMethod" column? For example, in this query, I would want to have the ORDER BY clause contain whatever ordering rule is stored in Page 1's OrderByMethod column.
GET * FROM `Data` WHERE `Data`.`PageID`=1 ORDER BY xxxxxx;
Maybe a SELECT clause in the ORDER BY clause? I'm not sure how that would work though.
Thanks!
select Data.*
from Data
inner join Page on (Data.PageID=Page.PageID)
where Data.PageID=1
order by
if(Page.OrderByMethod='Most Recent Data First', now()-DataDate,
if(Page.OrderByMethod='Most Recent Data Last', DataDate-now(), DataName)
);
You can probably do this with the IF syntax to generate a column that you can then order by.
SELECT *, IF(Page.OrderBy = 'Alphabetically', Data.DataName, IF(Page.OrderBy = 'Most Recent Data First', NOW() - Data.DataDate, Data.DataDate - NOW())) AS OrderColumn
FROM Data
INNER JOIN Page ON Data.PageID = Page.PageID
WHERE Page.PageID = 1
ORDER BY OrderColumn
The direction of the ordering is determined in the calculation of the data instead of specifying a direction in the ORDER BY
Can you just append the order by clause to the select statement and rebind the table on postback?
If you want to use the content of the column in Page table as an expression in ORDER BY you have to do it using prepared statements. Let say, you store in OrderByMethod something like "field1 DESC, field2 ASC" and you want this string to be used as it is:
SET #order_by =(SELECT OrderByMethod FROM Page WHERE id = [value]);
SET #qr = CONCAT(your original query,' ORDER BY ', #order_by);
PREPARE stmt FROM #qr;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
If you want the result set to be sorted based on the value of OrderByMethod , you can use IF as it was already mentioned by others, or CASE :
...
ORDER BY
CASE OrderByMethod
WHEN 'val1' THEN field_name1
WHEN 'val2' THEN field_name2
....etc
END
