SELECT *

WHERE (DATE_STAMP,DB_NAME,TABLE_NAME) IN (SELECT DATE_STAMP,
DB_NAME,
TABLE_NAME
FROM BB1
GROUP BY DATE_STAMP,DB_NAME,TABLE_NAME
HAVING COUNT(* ) > 1);

The following should do the trick:

SELECT Sales.ProductId,
   SUM(Sales.SalesUnit) AS TotalSale,
   SUM(CASE Staff.Team = 1 THEN Sales.SalesUnit ELSE 0 END AS Sale_of_team1,
   SUM(CASE Staff.Team = 2 THEN Sales.SalesUnit ELSE 0 END AS Sale_of_team2,
   SUM(CASE Staff.Team = 3 THEN Sales.SalesUnit ELSE 0 END AS Sale_of_team3
FROM Sales
INNER JOIN Staff
ON Staff.StaffId = Sales.StaffId
GROUP BY Sales.ProductId

The "case" clauses allow you to conditionally summate a column.

Or

SELECT Product.ProductId,
   (SELECT SUM(SalesUnit) FROM Sales) AS TotalSale,
   (SELECT SUM(SalesUnit) FROM Sales
       INNER JOIN Staff
       ON Staff.StaffId = Sales.StaffId
       AND Staff.Team = 1
       WHERE Sales.ProductId = Product.ProductId) AS Sale_of_team1,
   (SELECT SUM(SalesUnit) FROM Sales
       INNER JOIN Staff
       ON Staff.StaffId = Sales.StaffId
       AND Staff.Team = 2
       WHERE Sales.ProductId = Product.ProductId) AS Sale_of_team2,
   (SELECT SUM(SalesUnit) FROM Sales
       INNER JOIN Staff
       ON Staff.StaffId = Sales.StaffId
       AND Staff.Team = 3
       WHERE Sales.ProductId = Product.ProductId) AS Sale_of_team3
FROM Products

This uses correlated sub-queries to do the work.

to get the dates with "/" seperated you can use
substring(dates, 1, 4) + '/' + substring(dates, 5, 2) + '/' + substring(dates, 7, 2)
But the dates remains varchar

convert function actually converts to datetime data type.

Hi,

I have one procedure in Oracle which is returning the REF Cursor I am accessing it by using the Data access application block DAAB like the following:

OracleParameter param = new OracleParameter();

param.ParameterName = "Emp_Cursor";

param.OracleType = OracleType.Cursor;

param.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;

param.Size = 3000;

Database db = DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase("DBConnection");

//DbCommand cmd = db.GetSqlStringCommand("Select * from emp");

DbCommand cmd = db.GetStoredProcCommand("emppackage.select_employee");

db.AddOutParameter(cmd, param.ParameterName, param.DbType, param.Size);

DataSet ds = new DataSet();

ds = db.ExecuteDataSet(cmd);

GridView1.DataSource = ds;

GridView1.DataBind();

But iam getting this error:

PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'SELECT_EMPLOYEE'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:

How to run a stored procedure from within a stored procedure

Hi,

I have two stored procedures that returns a SELECT result.

I want to be able to return this results, from a third stored procedure, according to a parameter.

Something like this:

IF (@DisplayUnknown = 0)<br />
    BEGIN<br />
        EXEC stpSnapshotNormal(@Type, @dtDate)<br />
    END<br />
ELSE<br />
    BEGIN<br />
        EXEC stpSnapshotUnknown(@Type, @dtDate)<br />
    END

This of course does not work.
Does anyone knows how is it possible to make work?

Thanks!

the problem is parameters are enclosed with in parenthesis

use this way
IF (@DisplayUnknown = 0)
BEGIN
EXEC stpSnapshotNormal @Type, @dtDate
END
ELSE
BEGIN
EXEC stpSnapshotUnknown @Type, @dtDate
END

SQL problem

Hi,
I have a table that looks like this:

Name Job Salary
Jim Eng 50000
Jane NULL 100000
Bill NULL 55000
Bill Dev 55000

I need a query that would strip out the rows that have NULLs for 'Job' if there's a row with the same 'Name' with a non NULL 'Job'.
The result would look like this:

Jim Eng 50000
Jane NULL 100000
Bill Dev 55000

I could easily do this in C# after I bring all the rows in, but I thought it would be more interesting to get the right data with a query.
Any ideas?

thanx
