I have a bill of material file that I am trying to reduce to only the unique parts, and related data for the line. The problem I'm running into is multiple instances of a part number due to variations in the formatting or language in the part name from the system/s that a third party pulls the data from.
pn123 part_name
pn123 Part-name
pn123 Part name
pn123 German name
All other fields I select are equal, how do I limit this in the where clause to just one instance of the above for all different part numbers? Is there an equivalent to MAX() in a text string?
I am working around the issue in excel, by deleting the dupes.
select distinct
adhoc.ats_esh.Customs_Entry_Num
[VIN]as [Qlickview VIN]
,[Build_Date]
,[BOM_Level]
,[9802].[Supplier]
,[Part_number]
,[Part_Name] *******THIS IS THE PROBLEM FIELD*******
,[Unit_Price]
,[Usage]
,[Extended_Price]
from
adhoc.IMFM_9802_EU_AP [9802] inner join ADHOC.ATS_ESL
ON [9802].VIN = ADHOC.ATS_ESL.Part_Num
inner join adhoc.ATS_ESH
ON ADHOC.ATS_ESH.Trans_SK = ADHOC.ATS_ESL.Trans_SK
where
adhoc.ats_esh.importer ='ACME_CO'
and adhoc.ATS_ESH.ENTRY_SUMMARY_DATE >= '2/01/2018'
And adhoc.ATS_ESH.ENTRY_SUMMARY_DATE < '3/01/2018'
AND adhoc.ats_esl.Supplier in('supplier1','supplier2','supplier3')
--and adhoc.ats_esl.Part_Num like '%ABC%'
--and [BOM_Level] = '1' --**** use MAX()
The right way to do this is to have a table with part name and number where part number is a unique key. This way you join on Part_number and get a unique Part_name. You can also use Max(Part_name) if you use Group by Part_number but this will require you to rework your query a little bit.

My database has a table with columns genus, species, and inatcode. inatcode is blank for every row it hasn't been manually added to. I imported a new table that contains all the codes and want to create an Update query that copies them all to the corresponding rows of the first table. However, because the species column of my first table has additional strings, the match is not perfect and many rows were not updated. table.a.species might look like :
x bimundorum
vesicula (sexgen)
sinuata breviloba
And I want it to match these values in table.b.species:
bimundorum
vesicula
sinuata
I know to use table.a.species LIKE '%table.b.species%' when b is a substring of a, but this is the opposite case and just flipping (shown below) doesn't seem to work. Is there another way to accomplish this in SQLite? The differences between a and b are heterogeneous, but there are only a few cases and I could potentially do multiple queries to account for each.
"UPDATE table.a SET inatcode = table.b.inatcode
FROM table.b
WHERE table.b.genus = table.a.genus
AND table.a.species LIKE '%table.b.species%' "
I am working with SQLite through the DBI package in R, and could make all of this happen in R and reinsert instead. But it seems like this I should be able to do in SQLite.
The modified formatting posted here does what I wanted; I just needed to use the || to concatenate the values and the % operator to make the LIKE function behave as I wanted it to.
"UPDATE table.a SET inatcode = table.b.inatcode
FROM table.b
WHERE table.b.genus = table.a.genus
AND table.a.species LIKE '%' || table.b.species || '%'
AND table.b.species != '' "
I am very new to SQL.. I have two tables.. contacts and addresses.. trying to see where the contact has multiple addresses that are marked as home.
I want to show information from both tables where the ra.cv__Contact__c (address) is the same for multiple records and the records say Address Type is home. When I remove my count function line I do see all the records that have a address marked as home, but when I put in
FROM dbo.cv__Related_Address_Detail__c ra LEFT JOIN dbo.Contact c on c.Id=ra.cv__Contact__c
WHERE ra.cv__Contact__c=ra.cv__Contact__c AND ra.cv__Address_Type__c='home'
HAVING COUNT (ra.cv__Contact__c)>1
ORDER BY ra.cv__Contact__c;``
I get this error
Column 'dbo.cv__Related_Address_Detail__c.cv__Contact__c' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
and when I add group by
FROM dbo.cv__Related_Address_Detail__c ra LEFT JOIN dbo.Contact c on c.Id=ra.cv__Contact__c
WHERE ra.cv__Contact__c=ra.cv__Contact__c AND ra.cv__Address_Type__c='home'
GROUP BY ra.cv__Contact__c
HAVING COUNT (ra.cv__Contact__c)>1
ORDER BY ra.cv__Contact__c;
I get
Column 'dbo.cv__Related_Address_Detail__c.Contact_VIS_Number__c' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
Msg 145, Level 15, State 1, Line 514
ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if SELECT DISTINCT is specified.
Help
So it took a few different ways but I figured out that the problem is simply that i am trying to output too many fields that are not being aggregated..
so i bracketed my fields and did another inner join to get the count
SELECT c.id, COUNT(ra.id) 'Count'
FROM dbo.cv__Related_Address_Detail__c ra JOIN dbo.Contact c on
c.Id=ra.cv__Contact__c
WHERE ra.cv__Address_Type__c='Home'
GROUP BY c.Id
Having COUNT(ra.id)>1
)prime
ON c.id=prime.Id
I've the following simplified SQLLite query:
SELECT SPECIALTABLE.DETAILS AS Details
FROM SPECIALTABLE
INNER JOIN CUSTOMERTABLE
ON CUSTOMERTABLE.CUSCODE = SPECIALTABLE.CUSCODE
INNER JOIN CUSTOMERNAMETABLE
ON CUSTOMERNAMETABLE.NAMECODE = CUSTOMERTABLE.NAMECODE
WHERE NAMECODE LIKE '%' LIMIT 10
SPECIALTABLE does not contain the NAMECODE column.
But when I run the query, it gives the "ambiguous column name" error on NAMECODE. I do not want to specify the table however on namecode (e.g. WHERE CUSTOMERTABLE.NAMECODE LIKE ...).
To my understanding, SQLLite should treat the result of these joins like one big table containing all columns that are contained in each of the tables, so why is there ambiguity?
The problem is there is no column directly linking SPECIALTABLE and CUSTOMERNAMETABLE.
When you write your last line, you do not specify what NAMECODE is in condition. So, the SQL can't catch the NAMECODE correctly, because there is two definitions for them (CUSTOMERNAMETABLE.NAMECODE and CUSTOMERTABLE.NAMECODE)
WHERE NAMECODE LIKE '%' LIMIT 10
Try to Specify the Table that you want the NAMECODE condition, like this:
WHERE CUSTOMERNAMETABLE.NAMECODE LIKE '%' LIMIT 10
Or this:
WHERE CUSTOMERTABLE.NAMECODE LIKE '%' LIMIT 10
I have been looking all day for a solution that works for my situation. I have found some things that are very similar but don't work for my situation, I tried them.
Here is the scenario; I have two table base and partdetails. I have an asp website (internal ONLY) that has drop down lists to select the parameters for a SQL query that fills a data grid view.
My problem is this, I need to be able, based on the drop down list boxes on the page, assign the column name that the criteria that is entered to be searched for.
Here is the query that I am trying to define: (This one returns 0 rows)
sqlCmd.CommandText = ("Select ba.referenceid, ba.partnum, pd.width, pd.length, CONVERT(varchar(12), pd.dateentered, 101) As [dateentered], ba.partqty, ba.status, ba.material From tbl_dlbase ba Join tbl_partdetails pd On ba.referenceid = pd.referenceid Where Case #field1 When 'part #' Then 'ba.partnum' When 'Spacing' Then 'pd.spacing' When 'Surface' Then 'pd.surface' When 'Height' Then 'pd.height' When 'Thickness' Then 'pd.thickness' End Like '%' + #criteria1 + '%'")
sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#field1", ddlSc1.SelectedItem.Text)
sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#criteria1", txbCriteria1.Text)
This is the latest version of the SQL statement that I have tried. I need to be able to set the field/column name based on the selection from the drop down list ddlsc1 on the asp page.
I have also been trying the queries in Studio manager to see if maybe I have fat fingered something but it also returns 0 rows so I know something is wrong with the query.
So how can I set the column name field using a parameter for the name. I know this is a huge security concern with SQL injection but this is an internal only site, and more importantly my boss said he wants it done with variables.
I don't really see a problem with this other than you have single quotes around your THEN values. Does this fix it?
SELECT ba.referenceid
,ba.partnum
,pd.width
,pd.length
,CONVERT(VARCHAR(12), pd.dateentered, 101) AS [dateentered]
,ba.partqty
,ba.STATUS
,ba.material
FROM tbl_dlbase ba
JOIN tbl_partdetails pd ON ba.referenceid = pd.referenceid
WHERE CASE #field1
WHEN 'part #'
THEN ba.partnum
WHEN 'Spacing'
THEN pd.spacing
WHEN 'Surface'
THEN pd.surface
WHEN 'Height'
THEN pd.height
WHEN 'Thickness'
THEN pd.thickness
END LIKE '%' + #criteria1 + '%'
I want to execute a SELECT query on a database table that has 6 key fields, let's assume they are keyA, keyB, ..., keyF.
As input parameters to my ABAP function module I do receive an internal table with exactly that structure of the key fields, each entry in that internal table therefore corresponds to one tuple in the database table.
Thus I simply need to select all tuples from the database table that correspond to the entries in my internal table.
Furthermore, I want to aggregate an amount column in that database table in exactly the same query.
In pseudo SQL the query would look as follows:
SELECT SUM(amount) FROM table WHERE (keyA, keyB, keyC, keyD, keyE, keyF) IN {internal table}.
However, this representation is not possible in ABAP OpenSQL.
Only one column (such as keyA) is allowed to state, not a composite key. Furthermore I can only use 'selection tables' (those with SIGN, OPTIOn, LOW, HIGH) after they keyword IN.
Using FOR ALL ENTRIES seems feasible, however in this case I cannot use SUM since aggregation is not allowed in the same query.
Any suggestions?
For selecting records for each entry of an internal table, normally the for all entries idiom in ABAP Open SQL is your friend. In your case, you have the additional requirement to aggregate a sum. Unfortunately, the result set of a SELECT statement that works with for all entries is not allowed to use aggregate functions. In my eyes, the best way in this case is to compute the sum from the result set in the ABAP layer. The following example works in my system (note in passing: using the new ABAP language features that came with 7.40, you could considerably shorten the whole code).
report zz_ztmp_test.
start-of-selection.
perform test.
* Database table ZTMP_TEST :
* ID - key field - type CHAR10
* VALUE - no key field - type INT4
* Content: 'A' 10, 'B' 20, 'C' 30, 'D' 40, 'E' 50
types: ty_entries type standard table of ztmp_test.
* ---
form test.
data: lv_sum type i,
lt_result type ty_entries,
lt_keys type ty_entries.
perform fill_keys changing lt_keys.
if lt_keys is not initial.
select * into table lt_result
from ztmp_test
for all entries in lt_keys
where id = lt_keys-id.
endif.
perform get_sum using lt_result
changing lv_sum.
write: / lv_sum.
endform.
form fill_keys changing ct_keys type ty_entries.
append :
'A' to ct_keys,
'C' to ct_keys,
'E' to ct_keys.
endform.
form get_sum using it_entries type ty_entries
changing value(ev_sum) type i.
field-symbols: <ls_test> type ztmp_test.
clear ev_sum.
loop at it_entries assigning <ls_test>.
add <ls_test>-value to ev_sum.
endloop.
endform.
I would use FOR ALL ENTRIES to fetch all the related rows, then LOOP round the resulting table and add up the relevant field into a total. If you have ABAP 740 or later, you can use REDUCE operator to avoid having to loop round the table manually:
DATA(total) = REDUCE i( INIT sum = 0
FOR wa IN itab NEXT sum = sum + wa-field ).
One possible approach is simultaneous summarizing inside SELECT loop using statement SELECT...ENDSELECT statement.
Sample with calculating all order lines/quantities for the plant:
TYPES: BEGIN OF ls_collect,
werks TYPE t001w-werks,
menge TYPE ekpo-menge,
END OF ls_collect.
DATA: lt_collect TYPE TABLE OF ls_collect.
SELECT werks UP TO 100 ROWS
FROM t001w
INTO TABLE #DATA(lt_werks).
SELECT werks, menge
FROM ekpo
INTO #DATA(order)
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN #lt_werks
WHERE werks = #lt_werks-werks.
COLLECT order INTO lt_collect.
ENDSELECT.
The sample has no business sense and placed here just for educational purpose.
Another more robust and modern approach is CTE (Common Table Expressions) available since ABAP 751 version. This technique is specially intended among others for total/subtotal tasks:
WITH
+plants AS (
SELECT werks UP TO 100 ROWS
FROM t011w ),
+orders_by_plant AS (
SELECT SUM( menge )
FROM ekpo AS e
INNER JOIN +plants AS m
ON e~werks = m~werks
GROUP BY werks )
SELECT werks, menge
FROM +orders_by_plant
INTO TABLE #DATA(lt_sums)
ORDER BY werks.
cl_demo_output=>display( lt_sums ).
The first table expression +material is your internal table, the second +orders_by_mat quantities totals selected by the above materials and the last query is the final output query.
