Sure, here are the equivalent join queries in Oracle SQL using the (+) sign syntax:
Inner Join:
sql
Copy code
SELECT s.student_id, s.name AS student_name, c.course_id, c.name AS
course_name
FROM student s, course c
WHERE s.course_id = c.course_id;
Explanation:
For a left outer join, place the (+) operator on the right side of the equality condition.
For a right outer join, place the (+) operator on the left side of the equality condition.
For a full outer join, place the (+) operator on both sides of the equality condition.
Using the (+) operator syntax for outer joins can sometimes be less readable and is not as widely
used as the ANSI SQL join syntax, but it's still supported in Oracle SQL.
One invoice can be associated with multiple payments how practical example
ChatGPT
In Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), handling invoices and payments involves tracking the
complex financial transactions between invoices and payments. A practical example of a many-
to-many relationship between invoices and payments can be demonstrated with the use of the
AP_INVOICES_ALL, AP_PAYMENTS_ALL, and AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS tables.
sql
Copy code
-- Table for storing invoices
CREATE TABLE ap_invoices_all (
invoice_id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY,
invoice_number VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL,
invoice_date DATE NOT NULL,
amount NUMBER NOT NULL
);
sql
Copy code
-- Insert invoices
INSERT INTO ap_invoices_all (invoice_id, invoice_number, invoice_date, amount)
VALUES (1, 'INV-001', TO_DATE('2024-01-01', 'YYYY-MM-DD'), 1000);
INSERT INTO ap_invoices_all (invoice_id, invoice_number, invoice_date, amount)
VALUES (2, 'INV-002', TO_DATE('2024-02-01', 'YYYY-MM-DD'), 2000);
-- Insert payments
INSERT INTO ap_payments_all (payment_id, payment_number, payment_date,
payment_amount)
VALUES (1, 'PAY-001', TO_DATE('2024-03-01', 'YYYY-MM-DD'), 1500);
INSERT INTO ap_payments_all (payment_id, payment_number, payment_date,
payment_amount)
VALUES (2, 'PAY-002', TO_DATE('2024-04-01', 'YYYY-MM-DD'), 2500);

Practical Queries:
sql
Copy code
SELECT
i.invoice_number,
i.invoice_date,
i.amount AS invoice_amount,
p.payment_number,
p.payment_date,
p.payment_amount AS total_payment_amount,
ip.payment_amount_applied
FROM
ap_invoices_all i
JOIN
ap_invoice_payments ip ON i.invoice_id = ip.invoice_id
JOIN
ap_payments_all p ON ip.payment_id = p.payment_id;
In this example:
This setup demonstrates the practical handling of a many-to-many relationship between invoices
and payments in Oracle EBS.
Example Scenario:
For demonstration purposes, simplified versions of these tables will be used. You can adjust the
table names and columns based on the actual EBS structure.
Creating Simplified Tables for Demonstration
To understand what the subquery is returning with values, let's break down the provided query
using an example dataset and see the detailed execution.
sql
Copy code
SELECT DISTINCT Salary
FROM EmployeePosition E1
WHERE 2 >= (
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Salary)
FROM EmployeePosition E2
WHERE E1.Salary >= E2.Salary
)
ORDER BY E1.Salary DESC;
Example Dataset
Step-by-Step Execution
sql
Copy code
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Salary)
FROM EmployeePosition E2
WHERE 500000 >= E2.Salary
o This checks how many distinct salaries in the EmployeePosition table are less than or
equal to 500000:
50000, 75000, 90000, 85000, 300000, 500000 (6 distinct salaries)
o Result: 6
o Condition: 2 >= 6 (false) → This salary is not included.
sql
Copy code
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Salary)
FROM EmployeePosition E2
WHERE 300000 >= E2.Salary
o This checks how many distinct salaries in the EmployeePosition table are less than or
equal to 300000:
50000, 75000, 90000, 85000, 300000 (5 distinct salaries)
o Result: 5
o Condition: 2 >= 5 (false) → This salary is not included.
sql
Copy code
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Salary)
FROM EmployeePosition E2
WHERE 90000 >= E2.Salary
o This checks how many distinct salaries in the EmployeePosition table are less than or
equal to 90000:
50000, 75000, 90000 (3 distinct salaries)
o Result: 3
o Condition: 2 >= 3 (false) → This salary is not included.
sql
Copy code
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Salary)
FROM EmployeePosition E2
WHERE 85000 >= E2.Salary
o This checks how many distinct salaries in the EmployeePosition table are less than or
equal to 85000:
50000, 75000, 85000 (3 distinct salaries)
o Result: 3
o Condition: 2 >= 3 (false) → This salary is not included.
5. For E1.Salary = 75000:
o The subquery is executed:
sql
Copy code
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Salary)
FROM EmployeePosition E2
WHERE 75000 >= E2.Salary
o This checks how many distinct salaries in the EmployeePosition table are less than or
equal to 75000:
50000, 75000 (2 distinct salaries)
o Result: 2
o Condition: 2 >= 2 (true) → This salary is included.
sql
Copy code
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Salary)
FROM EmployeePosition E2
WHERE 50000 >= E2.Salary
o This checks how many distinct salaries in the EmployeePosition table are less than or
equal to 50000:
50000 (1 distinct salary)
o Result: 1
o Condition: 2 >= 1 (true) → This salary is included.
Final Result
After processing all rows, the outer query will include the salaries 75000 and 50000, as these
satisfy the condition 2 >= COUNT(DISTINCT Salary).
Salary
75000
50000
This query effectively finds the top 2 highest distinct salaries from the EmployeePosition table.
