SQL query

  • Hi friends,

    I run this query in Oracle to find the duplicates of all occurences in a table for the pk values.

    SELECT * FROM qtral WHERE (tral_no, tral_pd)

    in (SELECT tral_no, tral_pd FROM qtral

    group by tral_no, tral_pd

    having count (*) >1

    )order by tral_no, tral_pd;

    This query returns all the occurences of duplicate values in a table.. But in SQL server, I get an error :

    Incorrect syntax near ','.

    Need help..

    Thanks

  • That's because the IN clause cannot compare more than one dimension in the array...

    I adopted the script to table variable sso I can test it. Here's what you need:

    declare @qtral TABLE (tral_no CHAR(1), tral_pd int)

    INSERT @qtral (tral_no , tral_pd )

    SELECT 'A',1

    UNION ALL

    SELECT 'A',2

    UNION ALL

    SELECT 'A',1

    UNION ALL

    SELECT 'B',2

    UNION ALL

    SELECT 'B',2

    UNION ALL

    SELECT 'B',3

    SELECT

    A.*,

    COUNT(*) AS NUM_OF_OCCURANCES

    FROM

    @qtral A

    INNER JOIN

    (

    SELECT tral_no, tral_pd FROM @qtral

    group by tral_no, tral_pd

    having count (*) >1

    ) B ON

    A.tral_no = B.tral_no

    AND

    A.tral_pd = B.tral_pd

    group by

    A.tral_no, A.tral_pd

  • or use the ever lasting exists with a correlated subquery.

    SELECT Q.*

    FROM qtral Q

    WHERE exists (SELECT 1

    FROM qtral Qx

    where Qx.tral_no = Q.tral_no

    and Qx.tral_pd = Q.tral_pd

    group by Qx.tral_no, Qx.tral_pd

    having count (*) >1

    )

    order by Q.tral_no, Q.tral_pd;

  • well, first of all , you will fail if they are integers. If one will be 15 and the other 13 you'll get 28, which might also be the case for many other combinations (12+16, 10+18, ...)

    If they are textual you might end up in the same situation. ABC+DEF are the same as AB+CDEF.

    You'll have to gthink about a good delimiter, but why do so in the first place?!

    As you can see, there are many ways to find dupes. The real question would be... what do you want to do with them once you find them?

    well, first of all , you will fail if they are integers.

    Do you remember cast()... make them strings 😉

    If they are textual you might end up in the same situation. ABC+DEF are the same as AB+CDEF.

    how about first_column + 'somedelimiter' + second_column? 😀

    The idea is to point poster in the right direction, not to do his/her job :satisfied:

  • Hi friends,

    When I run this query I get 267 records:

    SELECT Q.*

    FROM qtral Q

    WHERE exists (SELECT 1

    FROM qtral Qx

    where Qx.tral_no = Q.tral_no

    and Qx.tral_pd = Q.tral_pd

    group by Qx.tral_no, Qx.tral_pd

    having count (*) >1

    )

    order by Q.tral_no, Q.tral_pd;

    But, when I try to select columns from different table in the same query I get only 266 records.. Not sure what I'm doing wrong..

    SELECT Q.*, p.pmtco, p.pmtno, p.pmtbk, p.pmtrcn, p.pmtamt

    FROM qtral Q , pymt p

    WHERE exists (SELECT 1

    FROM qtral Qx

    where Qx.tral_no = Q.tral_no

    and Qx.tral_pd = Q.tral_pd

    group by Qx.tral_no, Qx.tral_pd

    having count (*) >1

    )

    and Q.chpmtno = p.pmtno

    and Q.tral_pd = p.pmtbk

    and Q.chpmtco = p.pmtco

    order by Q.tral_no, Q.tral_pd;

    Please help me.. Thanks a lot

  • Chances are there are 266 matching rows on pymt table, isn't it?

  • Yes, right Paul. That 1 record is in qtral but not in pymt table.

    But, I need to join so even if the record is in qtral but not in pymt table is also returned? Is it possible to do this?

    SELECT Q.*, p.pmtco, p.pmtno, p.pmtbk, p.pmtrcn, p.pmtamt

    FROM qtral Q , pymt p

    WHERE exists (SELECT 1

    FROM qtral Qx

    where Qx.tral_no = Q.tral_no

    and Qx.tral_pd = Q.tral_pd

    group by Qx.tral_no, Qx.tral_pd

    having count (*) >1

    )

    and Q.chpmtno = p.pmtno

    and Q.tral_pd = p.pmtbk

    and Q.chpmtco = p.pmtco

    order by Q.tral_no, Q.tral_pd;

    Thank you so much

  • I tried this, but not sure if it is right.. it returns 267 rows though..

    SELECT Q.*, p.pmtco, p.pmtno, p.pmtbk, p.pmtrcn, p.pmtamt

    FROM qtral Q left outer join pymt p on Q.chpmtno = p.pmtno

    and Q.tral_pd = p.pmtbk

    and Q.chpmtco = p.pmtco

    WHERE exists (SELECT 1

    FROM qtral Qx

    where Qx.tral_no = Q.tral_no

    and Qx.tral_pd = Q.tral_pd

    group by Qx.tral_no, Qx.tral_pd

    having count (*) >1

    )

    order by Q.tral_no, Q.tral_pd;

    Thanks

    This is perfect! Oracle is also using the same outer join syntax from Oracle9i and above.
