Re: Help with SQL

Thanks guys. That worked fine.

The problem was my pitiable ignorance that the Status could be specified on
the JOIN clause. I thought that the Join fields need to be present in both
tables.

I would still appreciate any performance pointers, if any.

large data I am not sure which would be the better performer.

So the following wouldn't work?
select p.k1, p.k2, p.k3, p.k4
from vkparent p exception join vkchild c on
p.k1=c.k1 and
p.k2=c.k2 and
p.k3=c.k3 and
p.k4=c.k4 and
c.status = 'A'

Cannot test this as I am in a meeting without access to the AS/400

I think you're right. That STATUS column throws a wrinkle in it.
create table vkparent (
k1 char(1),
k2 char(1),
k3 char(1),
k4 char(1),
primary key(k1, k2, k3, k4)
)
;
create table vkchild (
k1 char(1),
k2 char(1),
k3 char(1),
k4 char(1),
status char(1),
k5 char(1),
d1 char(1),
primary key(k1, k2, k3, k4, k5)
);

insert into vkparent values('A', 'A', 'A', 'A'); insert into vkparent
values('B', 'B', 'B', 'B'); insert into vkparent values('C', 'C', 'C',
'C'); insert into vkparent values('D', 'D', 'D', 'D'); insert into

vkchild

values('A', 'A', 'A', 'A', 'A', '1', 'X'); insert into vkchild

values('B',

'B', 'B', 'B', 'I', '1', 'X'); insert into vkchild values('D', 'D', 'D',
'D', 'I', '1', 'X'); insert into vkchild values('D', 'D', 'D', 'D', 'A',
'2', 'Y');

select p.k1, p.k2, p.k3, p.k4
from vkparent p
where (p.k1, p.k2, p.k3, p.k4) not in ( select c.k1, c.k2, c.k3, c.k4
from vkchild c where c.status = 'A') ; This line won't get what you want
because 'D' has both an active and an inactive row.
select p.k1, p.k2, p.k3, p.k4, c.status
from vkparent p left outer join vkchild c on
p.k1=c.k1 and p.k2=c.k2 and p.k3=c.k3 and p.k4=c.k4 where c.status is
null or c.status<>'A'
;

I don't think the Left Outer Join or Exception join would work, as the

JOIN

would be on 4 keys, and the sql would return only the records where the
JOIN is not successful. So it would return only records where there is no
match in child table. Maybe I am wrong, but that is what my test sql did.

I did a simple google for sql list missing child rows
Basically it boiled down to a few choices between
NOT EXISTS
NOT IN
LEFT OUTER JOIN
EXCEPTION JOIN

Hi,

We have a Table with K1, K2, K3, K4 as Primary keys with about 800

million

records. A child table, which is partitioned, has K1, K2, K3, K4, K5

(Seq

Number) as Primary keys and a Status field (value of A or I) with about

10

billion records. Child table having no record for the 4 keys is

possible,

though highly unlikely.

I need to get a list of records (just the key fields) from the main

Table,

which has no record in the child table with Status = 'A' (may or may

not

have an 'I' Status record).

Can someone please help me with some efficient sql code to achieve

this?

TIA.
