Oracle 连接语法中具有多个条件的外部连接

Question

I have the tables below

create table xx_base_tbl
(
    tbl_id      number
,   trx_num     varchar2(100)
);


create table xx_dtl_tbl
(
    dtl_id      number
,   tbl_id      number
,   category    varchar2(100)
,   attribute1  varchar2(100)
);

insert into xx_base_tbl (tbl_id, trx_num) values (1, 'trx 1');
insert into xx_base_tbl (tbl_id, trx_num) values (2, 'trx 2');
insert into xx_base_tbl (tbl_id, trx_num) values (3, 'trx 3');
insert into xx_base_tbl (tbl_id, trx_num) values (4, 'trx 4');
insert into xx_base_tbl (tbl_id, trx_num) values (5, 'trx 5');

insert into xx_dtl_tbl (dtl_id, tbl_id, category, attribute1) values (1, 1, null, 'SAMPLE');
insert into xx_dtl_tbl (dtl_id, tbl_id, category, attribute1) values (2, 1, null, 'hello');
insert into xx_dtl_tbl (dtl_id, tbl_id, category, attribute1) values (3, 2, 'PREPAYMENT', 'this is not a value');
insert into xx_dtl_tbl (dtl_id, tbl_id, category, attribute1) values (4, 2, 'PREPAYMENT', 1);
insert into xx_dtl_tbl (dtl_id, tbl_id, category, attribute1) values (5, 3, 'PREPAYMENT', 2);
insert into xx_dtl_tbl (dtl_id, tbl_id, category, attribute1) values (6, 3, 'PREPAYMENT', 1);
insert into xx_dtl_tbl (dtl_id, tbl_id, category, attribute1) values (7, 3, 'SAMPLE', 15678);
insert into xx_dtl_tbl (dtl_id, tbl_id, category, attribute1) values (8, 4, 'PREPAYMENT', 1);
insert into xx_dtl_tbl (dtl_id, tbl_id, category, attribute1) values (9, 4, 'PREPAYMENT', NULL);
insert into xx_dtl_tbl (dtl_id, tbl_id, category, attribute1) values (10, 5, 'PREPAYMENT', null);
insert into xx_dtl_tbl (dtl_id, tbl_id, category, attribute1) values (11, 5, 'SAMPLE', 'YEY');

I am using the ANSI Syntax below to outer join xx_dtl_tbl to another xx_base_tbl show only CATEGORY with PREPAYMENT and numeric values only. then use LISTAGG() to aggregate the results into a single row

SELECT
    xx1.trx_num,
    LISTAGG(xx3.trx_num, ',') WITHIN GROUP(
        ORDER BY
            xx3.trx_num
    ) prepayment
FROM
         xx_base_tbl xx1
    INNER JOIN xx_dtl_tbl   xx2 ON xx1.tbl_id = xx2.tbl_id
    LEFT JOIN xx_base_tbl  xx3 ON (to_number(xx2.attribute1) = xx3.tbl_id and length(TRIM(translate(xx2.attribute1, ' +-.0123456789', ' '))) IS NULL)    
GROUP BY
    xx1.trx_num

The result looks fine:

TRX_NUM     PREPAYMENT
-------     -------------
trx 1   
trx 2       trx 1
trx 3       trx 1,trx 2
trx 4       trx 1
trx 5   

However, when i use SQL Developer's tool to change the syntax to Oracle Join Syntax , it get the below result:

SELECT
    xx1.trx_num,
    LISTAGG(xx3.trx_num, ',') WITHIN GROUP(
        ORDER BY
            xx3.trx_num
    ) prepayment
FROM
    xx_base_tbl  xx1,
    xx_dtl_tbl   xx2,
    xx_base_tbl  xx3
WHERE
        xx1.tbl_id = xx2.tbl_id
    AND to_number(xx2.attribute1) = xx3.tbl_id (+)
    AND ( length(TRIM(translate(xx2.attribute1, ' +-.0123456789', ' '))) IS NULL )
GROUP BY
    xx1.trx_num
    

The result changed:

TRX_NUM     PREPAYMENT
-------     -------------
trx 2       trx 1
trx 3       trx 1,trx 2
trx 4       trx 1
trx 5   

the trx 1 row is suddenly missing. How can I write this in Oracle Syntax?

Answer 1

This query is not so easy to transform to old syntax. Something which worked for me is:

select a.trx_num,
       listagg(b.trx_num, ',') within group (order by b.trx_num) prepayment 
  from (

    select trx_num, attribute1, 
           case when trim(translate(xx2.attribute1, ' +-.0123456789', ' ')) is null 
                then to_number(xx2.attribute1) 
           end attr_num
    from xx_base_tbl xx1, xx_dtl_tbl xx2 
    where xx1.tbl_id = xx2.tbl_id) a, 
  
    xx_base_tbl b
  
  where a.attr_num = b.tbl_id (+)
  group by a.trx_num

Two steps, in first create joining column using case when in subquery, then use it in main query.

Edit:

Above query may be simplified to:

select xx1.trx_num,  
       listagg(xx3.trx_num, ',') within group (order by xx3.trx_num) prepayment
from xx_base_tbl xx1, xx_dtl_tbl xx2, xx_base_tbl xx3
where xx1.tbl_id = xx2.tbl_id
  and case when trim(translate(xx2.attribute1, ' +-.0123456789', ' ')) is null 
            then to_number(xx2.attribute1) 
       end = xx3.tbl_id(+)
group by xx1.trx_num

Answer 2

The syntax that is used in your first query is ANSI standard joins and properly works with oracle.

Second query's syntax is old SQL-92 standard and should be avoided. Also, it is hard to understand and handle.

By the way, your second query will need some extra clauses as follows:

WHERE
    xx1.tbl_id = xx2.tbl_id
    AND to_number(xx2.attribute1) = xx3.tbl_id (+)
    AND (xx3.tbl_id is null -- this extra OR condition is needed with below condition
         or ( length(TRIM(translate(xx2.attribute1, ' +-.0123456789', ' '))) IS NULL )
        )
