Question

create   table1 as  SELECT  from c.Name, Value, Qtr, Value as SUM(Value) 
from User.Pofile a,pet_dsa_qtr_table b,User.Count c,User.Service  d 
WHERE Category = 'PROFESSIONAL' and Item_Name = 'PROF_PKT_RECVD' and    
convert(char(32),d.User_Id) = c.Name and Service_Name_Cd = 2 
and Status = 2 and d.User_Id *= a.User_Id  and c.Period = b.Period 
and Module = 'ACCT_TRADES' and Type in ('EQ','OPTN')
GROUP BY Name, Item_Value,
Qtr HAVING SUM(Value) >= 10000  and Item_Value in ('0', NULL);

The above was a query that was created by me as an equivalent for sybase.Can anyone help me in correcting this query

Answer 1

You have some quite serious syntax inconsistencies in your query which I have tried to correct (with guesswork as you haven’t provided a table structure). e.g. In the select list you select “Value” but in the GROUP BY you group on “Item_Value” etc.

You also need to fully qualify your columns, some you qualify, some (like “Module” and “Type” etc) you don’t.

You might also want to add a storage clause too.

Here is my best educated guess at what you are trying to achieve:

CREATE TABLE table1 
AS  
SELECT c.Name, 
       Item_Value, 
       Qtr, 
       SUM(Value) as "SUM_Value"
  FROM User.Pofile a
       pet_dsa_qtr_table b,
       User.Count c,
       User.Service d  
 WHERE Category = 'PROFESSIONAL' 
   AND Item_Name = 'PROF_PKT_RECVD' 
   AND TO_CHAR(d.User_Id) = c.Name 
   AND Service_Name_Cd = 2  
   AND Status = 2 
   AND d.User_Id = a.User_Id(+)  
   AND c.Period = b.Period  
   AND Module = 'ACCT_TRADES' 
   AND Type in ('EQ','OPTN') 
 GROUP BY c.Name, 
          Item_Value, 
          Qtr 
HAVING (SUM(Value) >= 10000  
   AND NVL(Item_Value, '0') = '0');
