Hi Could you post the structure of the tables your using? Thanks, Stefan -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Saira Somani-Mendelin [mailto:saira_somani@xxxxxxxxx] Gesendet: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 4:57 PM An: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Betreff: Mean SQL statement! I need help :) I have to write a SELECT statement which addresses the following problem (because I eventually have to turn this into a view which can be accessed through the application's presentation layer): Each item does not necessarily have a PRICE record associated with it. In the case where it doesn't have a PRICE record, it has to get the $$$ from another table called ITEM_W. How do I get this into the following SELECT statement? Not only that! I then have to use this $$$ value and calculate a unit $$$ using a multiplier from another table, and then do some other calculation using the unit $$$ and another multiplier and another number to get an extended $$$ value. Here's the statement as it is: SELECT D.CUST_NUM, F.CUST_GROUP, D.SHIP_NUM, A.ITEM_NUM, (SELECT Z.REQUEST_ITEM FROM ITEM_C Z WHERE D.CUST_NUM = Z.CUST_NUM AND D.ITEM_NUM = Z.ITEM_NUM) AS REQUESTED_ITEM, A.REPORT_ITEM_NUM, D.SELL_UOM, C.UOM, C.MULTIPLIER AS SELL_UOM_MULT, (SELECT Z.PRICE_1 FROM PRICE Z WHERE A.REPORT_ITEM_NUM = Z.ITEM_NUM AND F.CUST_GROUP = Z.CUST_GROUP AND E.CUST_NUM = F.CUST_NUM) AS PRICE FROM ITEM A, ITEM_SELL_UOM B, UOM C, CUST_SHP_ITEM D, CUST_SHP E, CUSTOMER F WHERE A.ITEM_NUM = B.ITEM_NUM AND B.UOM_ID = C.UOM_ID AND A.ITEM_NUM = D.ITEM_NUM AND D.SELL_UOM = C.UOM AND D.SHIP_NUM = E.SHIP_NUM AND D.CUST_NUM = E.CUST_NUM AND E.CUST_NUM = F.CUST_NUM AND E.CUST_NUM = '33' AND E.SHIP_NUM = '14' And here is some of the output: CUST_NUM CUST_GROUP SHIP_NUM ITEM_NUM REQUESTED_ITEM REPORT_ITEM_NUM SELL_UOM UOM SELL_UOM_MULT PRICE 33 SWHS 14 114012 66600 114012 EA EA 1 51.49 33 SWHS 14 114013 66610 114013 EA EA 1 45.55 33 SWHS 14 114017 66620 114017 EA EA 1 120.93 33 SWHS 14 12720 12720 12720 EA EA 1 33 SWHS 14 63510 63510 63510 EA EA 1 33 SWHS 14 115910 66980 115910 EA EA 0.02 57.94 33 SWHS 14 21901 66990 21901 PK50 PK50 1 62.09 Thanks in advance!!!
