CURSOR bad in Oracle and MySQL as well?

Cursors generally don't perform well in any database. Although I read that Oracle have done a lot of work to optimise cursors so it may not be as bad in Oracle. However, it is generally best to do as much as you can using set based queries (i.e. queries that operate on a lot of rows at once) as that is what databases are good at.

Yes that's right. In fact, I think it is the only way to return a set of results from a oracle stored procedure.

Query Problem ( INNER JOIN)

mrkeivan18-Apr-09 0:24

Hey, Guys Let me just lay out the problem:
I have 2 tables

table Function
FID
FName

Table Materials
MID
MName
FunctionID1 (foriegn key for FID)
FunctionID2 (foriegn key for FID)

Now I want to select all columns from Materials table, instead of FunctionID1 and FunctionID2, I want to have their related text (FName).

SELECT M.MID, M.MName, F.FName, F.Fname FROM Materials AS M INNER JOIN Function AS F
ON FunctionID1=F.FID OR FunctionID2=F.FID 
WHERE FunctionID1 = X(input) and FunctionID2 = X(input)

I want this query to search for records in which FunctionID 1 is The input or FunctionID2 is equal to related input!!!! buy when I do this, It fetches two rows for a row and in each one FunctionID1 and FunctionID2 are the same !
How should I fix this???

If the content of the rows is the same DISTINCT might be useful. Using OR in a join statement is always going to cause you problems.

You may also want to use sub selects, do your initial filtering in the from (select)

Select *
from (Select * from Function where Id1 = @ID1) X

How about using two joins like this:

SELECT M.MID, M.MName, F1.FName, F2.Fname 
FROM Materials AS M 
INNER JOIN Function AS F1 ON M.FunctionID1=F1.FID 
INNER JOIN Function AS F2 ON M.FunctionID2=F2.FID 
WHERE FunctionID1 = X(input) and FunctionID2 = X(input)

Actually, I think you'd want to use two LEFT OUTER JOINS, as you'll want to return a match on FunctionID1 or FunctionID2 (unless I've read this all incorrectly):

select M.MID, M.MName, F1.FName [F1Name], F2.FName [F2Name]
  from Materials M
  left outer join Functions F1 on F1.FID = M.Function1ID
  left outer join Functions F2 on F2.FID = M.Function2ID
 where F1.FID is not null or F2.FID is not null

The WHERE clause will elimitate records where neither the Function1ID nor Function2ID match the input value. And the double LEFT OUTER JOINs will cause records where either the Function1ID or Function2ID match the supplied input value to be pulled.

Hope in one hand and poop in the other; see which fills up first. Hope and change were good slogans, now show us more than words.

Insert Trigger for Updating Count of One Column Into Another Column.

Hello,

I am new to Writing Triggers in SQL Server 2000.

I have not written any triggers uptil now.

So it would be great if someone helps me in this problem.

I have a table with a field Serial No and SrCount

I want to write a trigger such that when a record is added in the table, it will take the serial no of the new record and get the count of that serial no present in the table and update the SrCount field in the new record with the Count Results.

Please anyone could help, I am totally new to triggers.

Any help could be of great help.

Thanks in Advance. Sniff | :^)

Feels like a design error to me, I would ask why you need to count stored in another table.

Triggers are EVIL, debugging triggers can become a support nightmare. If it was essential I would do the update in the insert procedure rather than use a trigger (achieves the same thing, almost, but is easier to support).

Stay away from triggers. You should do that within the stored procedure that does the insertion.

Also, be aware of concurrency issues (like race conditions).

In theory, and depending entirely on the structure of the 2005 database, possibly.

But given the way you have worded the question, I doubt it.

Why would you want to?
