relation "table name" does not exist but it was set in FROM - postgresql

I'm trying to use a sub-query in the "FROM" section but later get errors "Relation "Table name" does not exist".
I have tried to copy paste my sub-query which works, but creates really long and ugly code, as what I am sending is just a part of the whole thing which represents the same problem.
SELECT Reporter.rid , Reporter.fname , Reporter.lname
FROM Reporter , report , map , keyword , ( SELECT Reporter.rid
FROM Reporter , report , map ,
keyword
WHERE (Reporter.rid = report.rid
AND report.iid = map.iid
AND map.kword =
keyword.kword AND
keyword.subject <>
'health')
) AS nonH
WHERE (Reporter.rid NOT IN(SELECT * FROM nonH) AND Reporter.rid = report.rid)
I would expect this code to work and present me all Reporters who are not linked to anything but 'health'
Error msg is:
ERROR: relation "nonh" does not exist LINE 7: WHERE (Reporter.rid NOT
IN(SELECT * FROM nonH) AND Reporter....

You can't use a derived table in a subquery like that. You either have to reapeat the query for it:
SELECT reporter.rid,
reporter.fname,
reporter.lname
FROM reporter,
report,
map,
keyword,
(SELECT reporter.rid
FROM reporter,
report,
map,
keyword
WHERE reporter.rid = report.rid
AND report.iid = map.iid
AND map.kword = keyword.kword
AND keyword.subject <> 'health') AS nonh
WHERE reporter.rid NOT IN (SELECT reporter.rid
FROM reporter,
report,
map,
keyword
WHERE reporter.rid = report.rid
AND report.iid = map.iid
AND map.kword = keyword.kword
AND keyword.subject <> 'health')
AND reporter.rid = report.rid);
Or you can use a common table expression:
WITH
nonh
AS
(
SELECT reporter.rid
FROM reporter,
report,
map,
keyword
WHERE reporter.rid = report.rid
AND report.iid = map.iid
AND map.kword = keyword.kword
AND keyword.subject <> 'health'
)
SELECT reporter.rid,
reporter.fname,
reporter.lname
FROM reporter,
report,
map,
keyword,
nonh
WHERE reporter.rid NOT IN (SELECT rid
FROM nonh)
AND reporter.rid = report.rid);
That may fix your immediate problem. But to be honest, you query is quite a mess with all that implicit joins of tables which's columns are never used and hard to follow, let alone guess what you might be after. I recommend you rewrite it using explicit INNER JOIN/CROSS JOIN/... syntax. And question yourself what the cross joins are actually good for and if they're really needed.

there is no table called "nonH". You are creating an "nonH" alias to a subquery in your SELECT clause, but that does not create a persistent object with that name.

DB2 SQL Error: SQLCODE=-302 while executing prepared statement

I have a SQL query which takes user inputs hence security flaw is present.
The existing query is:
SELECT BUS_NM, STR_ADDR_1, CITY_NM, STATE_CD, POSTAL_CD, COUNTRY_CD,
BUS_PHONE_NB,PEG_ACCOUNT_ID, GDN_ALERT_ID, GBIN, GDN_MON_REF_NB,
ALERT_DT, ALERT_TYPE, ALERT_DESC,ALERT_PRIORITY
FROM ( SELECT A.BUS_NM, AE.STR_ADDR_1, A.CITY_NM, A.STATE_CD, A.POSTAL_CD,
CC.COUNTRY_CD, A.BUS_PHONE_NB, A.PEG_ACCOUNT_ID, 'I' ||
LPAD(INTL_ALERT_DTL_ID, 9,'0') GDN_ALERT_ID,
LPAD(IA.GBIN, 9,'0') GBIN, IA.GDN_MON_REF_NB,
DATE(IAD.ALERT_TS) ALERT_DT,
XMLCAST(XMLQUERY('$A/alertTypeConfig/biqCode/text()' passing
IAC.INTL_ALERT_TYPE_CONFIG as "A") AS CHAR(4)) ALERT_TYPE,
, ROW_NUMBER() OVER () AS "RN"
FROM ACCOUNT A, Other tables
WHERE IA.GDN_MON_REF_NB = '100'
AND A.PEG_ACCOUNT_ID = IAAR.PEG_ACCOUNT_ID
AND CC.COUNTRY_CD = A.COUNTRY_ISO3_CD
ORDER BY IA.INTL_ALERT_ID ASC )
WHERE ALERT_TYPE IN (" +TriggerType+ ");
I changed it to accept TriggerType from setString like:
SELECT BUS_NM, STR_ADDR_1, CITY_NM, STATE_CD, POSTAL_CD, COUNTRY_CD,
BUS_PHONE_NB,PEG_ACCOUNT_ID, GDN_ALERT_ID, GBIN, GDN_MON_REF_NB,
ALERT_DT, ALERT_TYPE, ALERT_DESC,ALERT_PRIORITY
FROM ( SELECT A.BUS_NM, AE.STR_ADDR_1, A.CITY_NM, A.STATE_CD, A.POSTAL_CD,
CC.COUNTRY_CD, A.BUS_PHONE_NB, A.PEG_ACCOUNT_ID,
'I' || LPAD(INTL_ALERT_DTL_ID, 9,'0') GDN_ALERT_ID,
LPAD(IA.GBIN, 9,'0') GBIN, IA.GDN_MON_REF_NB,
DATE(IAD.ALERT_TS) ALERT_DT,
XMLCAST(XMLQUERY('$A/alertTypeConfig/biqCode/text()' passing
IAC.INTL_ALERT_TYPE_CONFIG as "A") AS CHAR(4)) ALERT_TYPE,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER () AS "RN"
FROM ACCOUNT A, other tables
WHERE IA.GDN_MON_REF_NB = '100'
AND A.PEG_ACCOUNT_ID = IAAR.PEG_ACCOUNT_ID
AND CC.COUNTRY_CD = A.COUNTRY_ISO3_CD
ORDER BY IA.INTL_ALERT_ID ASC )
WHERE ALERT_TYPE IN (?);
Setting trigger type as below:
if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(request.getTriggerType())) {
preparedStatement.setString(1, triggerType != null ? triggerType.toString() : "");
}
Getting error as
Caused by: com.ibm.db2.jcc.am.SqlDataException: DB2 SQL Error: SQLCODE=-302, SQLSTATE=22001, SQLERRMC=null, DRIVER=4.19.26
The -302 SQLCODE indicates a conversion error of some sort.
SQLSTATE 22001 narrows that down a bit by telling us that you are trying to force a big string into a small variable. Given the limited information in your question, I am guessing it is the XMLCAST that is the culprit.
DB2 won't jam 30 pounds of crap into a 4 pound bag so to speak, it gives you an error. Maybe giving XML some extra room in the cast might be a help. If you need to make sure it ends up being only 4 characters long, you could explicitly do a LEFT(XMLCAST( ... AS VARCHAR(64)), 4). That way the XMLCAST has the space it needs, but you cut it back to fit your variable on the fetch.
The other thing could be that the variable being passed to the parameter marker is too long. DB2 will guess the type and length based on the length of ALERT_TYPE. Note that you can only pass a single value through a parameter marker. If you pass a comma separated list, it will not behave as expected (unless you expect ALERT_TYPE to also contain a comma separated list). If you are getting the comma separated list from a table, you can use a sub-select instead.
Wrong IN predicate use with a parameter.
Do not expect that IN ('AAAA, M250, ABCD') (as you try to do passing a comma-separated string as a single parameter) works as IN ('AAAA', 'M250', 'ABCD') (as you need). These predicates are not equivalent.
You need some "string tokenizer", if you want to pass such a comma-separated string like below.
select t.*
from
(
select XMLCAST(XMLQUERY('$A/alertTypeConfig/biqCode/text()' passing IAC.INTL_ALERT_TYPE_CONFIG as "A") AS CHAR(4)) ALERT_TYPE
from table(values xmlparse(document '<alertTypeConfig><biqCode>M250, really big code</biqCode></alertTypeConfig>')) IAC(INTL_ALERT_TYPE_CONFIG)
) t
--WHERE ALERT_TYPE IN ('AAAA, M250, ABCD')
join xmltable('for $id in tokenize($s, ",\s?") return <i>{string($id)}</i>'
passing cast('AAA, M250 , ABCD' as varchar(200)) as "s"
columns token varchar(200) path '.') x on x.token=t.ALERT_TYPE
;
Run the statement as is. Then you may uncomment the string with WHERE clause and comment out the rest to see what you try to do.
P.S.:
The error you get is probably because you don't specify the data type of the parameter (you don't use something like IN (cast(? as varchar(xxx))), and db2 compiler assumes that its length is equal to the length of the ALERT_TYPE expression (4 bytes).

How to use CASE clause (DB2) to display values from a different table?

I'm working in a bank so I had to adjust the column names and information in the query to fit the external web, so if there're any weird mistakes know it is somewhat fine.
I'm trying to use the CASE clause to display data from a different table, I know this is a workaround but due to certain circumstances I'm obligated to use it, plus it is becoming interesting to figure out if there's an actual solution.
The error I'm receiving for the following query is:
"ERROR [21000] [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2] SQL0811N The result of a scalar
fullselect, SELECT INTO statement, or VALUES INTO statement is more
than one row."
select bank_num, branch_num, account_num, client_id,
CASE
WHEN exists(
select *
from bank.services BS
where ACCS.client_id= BS.sifrur_lakoach
)
THEN (select username from bank.services BS where BS.client_id = ACCS.client_id)
ELSE 'NONE'
END username_new
from bank.accounts accs
where bank_num = 431 and branch_num = 170
EDIT:
AFAIK we're using DB2 v9.7:
DSN11015 - DB21085I Instance "DB2" uses "64" bits and DB2 code release "SQL09075" with
level identifier "08060107".
Informational tokens are "DB2 v9.7.500.702", "s111017", "IP23287", and Fix Pack "5".
Use listagg function to include all results.

SELECT with substring in ON clause?

I have the following select statement in ABAP:
SELECT munic~mandt VREFER BIS AB ZZELECDATE ZZCERTDATE CONSYEAR ZDIMO ZZONE_M ZZONE_T USAGE_M USAGE_T M2MC M2MT M2RET EXEMPTMCMT EXEMPRET CHARGEMCMT
INTO corresponding fields of table GT_INSTMUNIC_F
FROM ZCI00_INSTMUNIC AS MUNIC
INNER JOIN EVER AS EV on
MUNIC~POD = EV~VREFER(9).
"where EV~BSTATUS = '14' or EV~BSTATUS = '32'.
My problem with the above statement is that does not recognize the substring/offset operation on the 'ON' clause. If i remove the '(9) then
it recognizes the field, otherwise it gives error:
Field ev~refer is unknown. It is neither in one of the specified tables
nor defined by a "DATA" statement. I have also tried doing something similar in the 'Where' clause, receiving a similar error:
LOOP AT gt_instmunic.
clear wa_gt_instmunic_f.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-mandt = gt_instmunic-mandt.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-bis = gt_instmunic-bis.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-ab = gt_instmunic-ab.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-zzelecdate = gt_instmunic-zzelecdate.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-ZZCERTDATE = gt_instmunic-ZZCERTDATE.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-CONSYEAR = gt_instmunic-CONSYEAR.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-ZDIMO = gt_instmunic-ZDIMO.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-ZZONE_M = gt_instmunic-ZZONE_M.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-ZZONE_T = gt_instmunic-ZZONE_T.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-USAGE_M = gt_instmunic-USAGE_M.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-USAGE_T = gt_instmunic-USAGE_T.
temp_pod = gt_instmunic-pod.
SELECT vrefer
FROM ever
INTO wa_gt_instmunic_f-vrefer
WHERE ( vrefer(9) LIKE temp_pod ). " PROBLEM WITH SUBSTRING
"AND ( BSTATUS = '14' OR BSTATUS = '32' ).
ENDSELECT.
WRITE: / sy-dbcnt.
WRITE: / 'wa is: ', wa_gt_instmunic_f.
WRITE: / 'wa-ever is: ', wa_gt_instmunic_f-vrefer.
APPEND wa_gt_instmunic_f TO gt_instmunic_f.
WRITE: / wa_gt_instmunic_f-vrefer.
ENDLOOP.
itab_size = lines( gt_instmunic_f ).
WRITE: / 'Internal table populated with', itab_size, ' lines'.
The basic task i want to implement is to modify a specific field on one table,
pulling values from another. They have a common field ( pod = vrefer(9) ). Thanks in advance for your time.
If you are on a late enough NetWeaver version, it works on 7.51, you can use the OpenSQL function LEFT or SUBSTRING. Your query would look something like:
SELECT munic~mandt VREFER BIS AB ZZELECDATE ZZCERTDATE CONSYEAR ZDIMO ZZONE_M ZZONE_T USAGE_M USAGE_T M2MC M2MT M2RET EXEMPTMCMT EXEMPRET CHARGEMCMT
FROM ZCI00_INSTMUNIC AS MUNIC
INNER JOIN ever AS ev
ON MUNIC~POD EQ LEFT( EV~VREFER, 9 )
INTO corresponding fields of table GT_INSTMUNIC_F.
Note that the INTO clause needs to move to the end of the command as well.
field(9) is a subset operation that is processed by the ABAP environment and can not be translated into a database-level SQL statement (at least not at the moment, but I'd be surprised if it ever will be). Your best bet is either to select the datasets separately and merge them manually (if both are approximately equally large) or pre-select one and use a FAE/IN clause.
They have a common field ( pod = vrefer(9) )
This is a wrong assumption, because they both are not fields, but a field an other thing.
If you really need to do that task through SQL, I'll suggest you to check native SQL sentences like SUBSTRING and check if you can manage to use them within an EXEC_SQL or (better) the CL_SQL* classes.

CASE, WHEN, THEN on UPDATE

I have this issue where if there is no record in copy_on_write.id then the UPDATE listings SET images = (SELECT images FROM new_vals) runs and wipes out listings.images with nothing.
So, I am trying to use a condition to only run the UPDATE listings if copy_on_write.images exist.
right now I get:
psql:queries/copy-to-source.sh:20: ERROR: syntax error at or near "CASE"
LINE 10: CASE WHEN images <>
WITH
new_vals AS (
SELECT *
FROM copy_on_write
WHERE copy_on_write.posted_by = 102550922::text
AND copy_on_write.id = 4
),
updates AS (
SELECT images FROM new_vals,
CASE WHEN images <> ''
THEN UPDATE listings SET images = (SELECT images FROM new_vals)
END
)
SELECT internal_id FROM new_vals
You can use updates CTE like this:
...
updates AS (
UPDATE listings SET
images = new_vals.images
FROM new_vals
WHERE new_vals.images <> ''
)
....
Note, that:
Your new_vals CTE should always return maximum one record, otherwise this won't works correct.
Also this not updates listings table, if new_vals returns images column, but it is empty string (or null). If in such cases you need run update anyway, then remove WHERE new_vals.images <> '' at all.
And also, this statement will update all listings.images records. Do you really want this?

Joining with set-returning function (SRF) and access columns in SQLAlchemy

Suppose I have an activity table and a subscription table. Each activity has an array of generic references to some other object, and each subscription has a single generic reference to some other object in the same set.
CREATE TABLE activity (
id serial primary key,
ob_refs UUID[] not null
);
CREATE TABLE subscription (
id UUID primary key,
ob_ref UUID,
subscribed boolean not null
);
I want to join with the set-returning function unnest so I can find the "deepest" matching subscription, something like this:
SELECT id
FROM (
SELECT DISTINCT ON (activity.id)
activity.id,
x.ob_ref, x.ob_depth,
subscription.subscribed IS NULL OR subscription.subscribed = TRUE
AS subscribed,
FROM activity
LEFT JOIN subscription
ON activity.ob_refs #> array[subscription.ob_ref]
LEFT JOIN unnest(activity.ob_refs)
WITH ORDINALITY AS x(ob_ref, ob_depth)
ON subscription.ob_ref = x.ob_ref
ORDER BY x.ob_depth DESC
) sub
WHERE subscribed = TRUE;
But I can't figure out how to do that second join and get access to the columns. I've tried creating a FromClause like this:
act_ref_t = (sa.select(
[sa.column('unnest', UUID).label('ob_ref'),
sa.column('ordinality', sa.Integer).label('ob_depth')],
from_obj=sa.func.unnest(Activity.ob_refs))
.suffix_with('WITH ORDINALITY')
.alias('act_ref_t'))
...
query = (query
.outerjoin(
act_ref_t,
Subscription.ob_ref == act_ref_t.c.ob_ref))
.order_by(activity.id, act_ref_t.ob_depth)
But that results in this SQL with another subquery:
LEFT OUTER JOIN (
SELECT unnest AS ob_ref, ordinality AS ref_i
FROM unnest(activity.ob_refs) WITH ORDINALITY
) AS act_ref_t
ON subscription.ob_refs #> ARRAY[act_ref_t.ob_ref]
... which fails because of the missing and unsupported LATERAL keyword:
There is an entry for table "activity", but it cannot be referenced from this part of the query.
So, how can I create a JOIN clause for this SRF without using a subquery? Or is there something else I'm missing?
Edit 1 Using sa.text with TextClause.columns instead of sa.select gets me a lot closer:
act_ref_t = (sa.sql.text(
"unnest(activity.ob_refs) WITH ORDINALITY")
.columns(sa.column('unnest', UUID),
sa.column('ordinality', sa.Integer))
.alias('act_ref'))
But the resulting SQL fails because it wraps the clause in parentheses:
LEFT OUTER JOIN (unnest(activity.ob_refs) WITH ORDINALITY)
AS act_ref ON subscription.ob_ref = act_ref.unnest
The error is syntax error at or near ")". Can I get TextAsFrom to not be wrapped in parentheses?
It turns out this is not directly supported by SA, but the correct behaviour can be achieved with a ColumnClause and a FunctionElement. First import this recipe as described by zzzeek in this SA issue. Then create a special unnest function that includes the WITH ORDINALITY modifier:
class unnest_func(ColumnFunction):
name = 'unnest'
column_names = ['unnest', 'ordinality']
#compiles(unnest_func)
def _compile_unnest_func(element, compiler, **kw):
return compiler.visit_function(element, **kw) + " WITH ORDINALITY"
You can then use it in joins, ordering, etc. like this:
act_ref = unnest_func(Activity.ob_refs)
query = (query
.add_columns(act_ref.c.unnest, act_ref.c.ordinality)
.outerjoin(act_ref, sa.true())
.outerjoin(Subscription, Subscription.ob_ref == act_ref.c.unnest)
.order_by(act_ref.c.ordinality.desc()))
