now how to exatract(copy) emp_no and dpt_no values to emp_ department

I think you mean you want to populate emp_department from the data in the emp table - hopefully so the dpt_no column in that table can be removed. You haven't shown the emp_no column in emp, but it was in your earlier questions so I assume that's a typo. Your data model still seems a bit strange.
So to insert values from another table:
insert into emp_department (emp_no, dpt_no)
select emp_no, dpt_no
from emp;
You seem to be asking vey basic questions without showing much research. Please read the documentation or at least some tutorials and show what you've tried and what specific problems you're having.

How to establish many-many relationship in a oracle database?

I'm intended to develop a database model for my department. I found it difficult to establish the relationship between student, courses and staffs considering that any number of students can elect any number of courses and any number of staffs can handle any number of courses. How will I be able to represent this data in an oracle database?
What did you manage to do so far? What kind of difficulties did you meet?
Anyway: here's a suggestion, see whether it helps. An example is based on your STUDENT and COURSES tables. Idea is to include additional "cross" table which maps courses and students, i.e. contains columns that make primary keys of both tables, they are constrained by foreign key constraints and both of them make the primary key of the new, cross table.
Here's the code:
Create tables:
SQL> -- Students
SQL> create table t_student
2 (id_student number constraint pk_stu primary key,
3 student_name varchar2(20) not null
4 );
Table created.
SQL> -- Courses
SQL> create table t_course
2 (id_course number constraint pk_cou primary key,
3 course_name varchar2(20) not null
4 );
Table created.
SQL> -- Additional "cross" table
SQL> create table t_stu_x_cou
2 (id_student number constraint fk_sxc_stu
3 references t_student (id_student),
4 id_course number constraint fk_sxc_cou
5 references t_course (id_course),
6 constraint pk_sxc primary key (id_student, id_course)
7 );
Table created.
Insert sample data:
SQL> insert into t_student (id_student, student_name)
2 select 1, 'Little' from dual union
3 select 2, 'Foot' from dual;
2 rows created.
SQL> insert into t_course (id_course, course_name)
2 select 100, 'Mathematics' from dual union
3 select 200, 'Physics' from dual union
4 select 300, 'Chemistry' from dual;
3 rows created.
SQL> -- Mapping students and courses:
SQL> -- - student 1 takes 2 courses (100 and 300)
SQL> -- - student 2 takes 3 courses (100, 200 and 300)
SQL> insert into t_stu_x_cou (id_student, id_course)
2 select 1, 100 from dual union
3 select 1, 300 from dual union
4 --
5 select 2, 100 from dual union
6 select 2, 200 from dual union
7 select 2, 300 from dual;
5 rows created.
Select that shows courses taken by student 1:
SQL> select s.student_name, c.course_name
2 from t_stu_x_cou x
3 join t_student s on s.id_student = x.id_student
4 join t_course c on c.id_course = x.id_course
5 where s.id_student = 1;
STUDENT_NAME COURSE_NAME
-------------------- --------------------
Little Mathematics
Little Chemistry
SQL>
Now, try to add the STAFF table yourself, using the same principle (you'd add a new "cross" table between STAFF and COURSES).

Common Table Expression in sqlite using rowid

I found a good article on converting adjacency to nested sets at http://dataeducation.com/the-hidden-costs-of-insert-exec/
The SQL language used is Microsoft SQL Server (I think) and I am trying to convert the examples given in the article to sqlite (as this is what I have easy access to on my Macbook).
The problem I appear to be having is converting the part of the overall CTE query to do with the Employee Rows
EmployeeRows AS
(
SELECT
EmployeeLevels.*,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY thePath) AS Row
FROM EmployeeLevels
)
I converted this to
EmployeeRows AS
(
SELECT
EmployeeLevels.*,
rowid AS Row
FROM EmployeeLevels
ORDER BY thePath
)
and the CTE query runs (no syntax errors) but the output I get is a table without the Row and Lft and Rgt columns populated
ProductName ProductID ParentProductID TreePath HLevel Row Lft Rgt
----------- ---------- --------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
Baby Goods 0 0 1
Baby Food 10 0 0.10 2
All Ages Ba 100 10 0.10.100 3
Strawberry 200 100 0.10.100.2 4
Baby Cereal 250 100 0.10.100.2 4
Beginners 150 10 0.10.150 3
Formula Mil 300 150 0.10.150.3 4
Heinz Formu 310 300 0.10.150.3 5
Nappies 20 0 0.20 2
Small Pack 400 20 0.20.400 3
Bulk Pack N 450 20 0.20.450 3
I think the start of the problem is the Row is not getting populated and therefore the Lft and Rgt columns do not get populated by the following parts of the query.
Are there any sqlite experts out there to tell me:
am I translating the rowid part of the query correctly
does sqlite support a rowid in a part of a CTE query
is there a better way? :)
Any help appreciated :)
am I translating the rowid part of the query correctly
No.
The SQL:
SELECT
EmployeeLevels.*,
rowid AS Row
FROM EmployeeLevels
ORDER BY thePath
has the Row defined as the rowid of table EmployeeLevels in SQLite, ignoring the order clause. Which is different from the intention of ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY thePath) AS Row
does sqlite support a rowid in a part of a CTE query
Unfortunately no. I assume you mean this:
WITH foo AS (
SELECT * FROM bar ORDER BY col_a
)
SELECT rowid, *
FROM foo
but SQLite will report no such column of rowid in foo.
is there a better way?
Not sure it is better but at least it works. In SQLite, you have a mechanism of temp table which exists as long as your connection opens and you didn't delete it deliberately. Rewrite the above SQL in my example:
CREATE TEMP TABLE foo AS
SELECT * FROM bar ORDER BY col_a
;
SELECT rowid, *
FROM foo
;
DROP TABLE foo
;
This one will run without SQLite complaining.
update:
As of SQLite version 3.25.0, window function is supported. Hence you can use row_number() over (order by x) expression in your CTE if you happen to use a newer SQLite

MS Access Query counting instances

I have a sample table with following values
SNO | Mon
-----+-------
100 | 1
101 | 1
102 | 1
100 | 2
101 | 2
102 | 2
100 | 3
101 | 3
Now I need a query to count the total sno's which are in 3 months
The result should be 2, as 100 & 101 are in mon 1,2 and 3. However, 102 is only present in mon 1,2.
Thanks,
RK
This Query in theory should work.
SELECT
tmpTbl.sNo
FROM
tmpTbl
GROUP BY
tmpTbl.sNo
HAVING
Count(tmpTbl.monNo) = (SELECT Count(*) FROM (SELECT tmpTbl.monNo FROM tmpTbl GROUP BY tmpTbl.monNo));
The result would be,
sNo
----
100
101
I have used two SubQueries to get the result. Teh both are used in the HAVING clause of the SQL. First SqubQuery (inner most). Will get the number of Unique Month's available in your table, the outer SubQuery will then Count the number of Unique months. So the Overall Query can be translated as "SELECT the serial number FROM the table HAVING the Count of Month equal to the Number of unique records in the same table".
The reason I used SbQuery instead of a number is because of the fact this will also be applicable when your month number increases. Hope this helps !
EDIT
Here is the Query for getting the count.
SELECT
Count(*) As simpleCount
FROM
(
SELECT
tmpTbl.sNo
FROM
tmpTbl
GROUP BY
tmpTbl.sNo
HAVING
Count(tmpTbl.monNo) = (SELECT Count(*) FROM (SELECT tmpTbl.monNo FROM tmpTbl GROUP BY tmpTbl.monNo))
);

need help to build a query that takes the dynamic column name return by another query as record

I have 2 tables:
Employee_tbl
empid empname empsalary emplocation
----- ------- --------- ------------
1 santhosh 15000 East godavari
2 Srinivas 25000 Westgodavari
3 sandeep 35000 Hyderabad
4 prathap 55000 Hyderabad
5 praveen 45000 West godavari
configuration_tbl
config_id column_name
--------- -----------
1 empid
2 empname
3 empsalary
4 emplocation
When I pass input as config_id it should display the values from that column.
Ex: If I pass config_id then it should display all empname from employee_tbl.
When there is only a limited number of columns I advice you to use a SQL with a case statement. Depending on whether you want to fold numbers into one text field or not, you may need two case columns. Execute immediate is possible but has additional overhead.

joinning query :
select emp_no,
emp_name,
dpt_no,
salary
from emp
join salary on emp.dpt_no=salary.dpt_no
but am getting error is"column is amguously defined". How to resolve this problem?
You need to fully qualify the columns in the select list (the way it's done in the JOIN condition). Otherwise Oracle wouldn't know from which table the column dept_no should be taken.
select emp.emp_no,
emp.emp_name,
emp.dpt_no,
salary.salary
from emp
join salary on emp.dpt_no=salary.dpt_no;
It's good coding style to always qualify the columns - at least in a query involving more than one table - even if they are not ambigous.
If you don't want to type the full table name, you can use a (maningful) alias:
select emp.emp_no,
emp.emp_name,
emp.dpt_no,
sal.salary,
sal.period
from emp
join salary sal
on emp.dpt_no = sal.dpt_no;
If the columnname is the same in tables (salary and emp) and youre joining the tables, you have to specify form wich table you want to selecte the column (salary or from emp)
in youre case the solution is to use salary.dpt_no instead of dpt_no
select emp_no,emp_name, salary.dpt_no,salary from emp join salary on emp.dpt_no=salary.dpt_no
