Global HAVING Coditions Window

Add, Edit, Delete global having conditions as per the toolbar.

The Add and Edit buttons open the Global HAVING Definition dialog. Global Having entries are in the form of <expression1> <operator> <expression2>.

TIP: You could alternatively populate the HAVING clause via the Criteria Tab. First set a GROUPed BY field. Then set the Having clause for that field by entering it in the group cond. row. This has the limitation that you can only have the selected field on the left side of the relational operator. If you need to have multiple fields on that side of the operator, use the Global Having feature.

 

Example

Construct the following query

SELECT emp.empno, emp.ename, emp.job, emp.mgr, emp.sal,

emp.comm, emp.deptno

FROM emp

GROUP BY emp.deptno, emp.comm, emp.sal, emp.mgr, emp.job,

emp.ename, emp.empno

HAVING ((emp.sal + NVL (emp.comm, 0) > 4000))

Follow the numbered steps

  1. Open the SQL Modeler (as SCOTT/TIGER).
  2. Double-click EMP to add it to the model.
  3. Right-click EMP and choose Select All, then deselect Hiredate.
  4. In the Criteria tab, double-click the Group By field for DEPTNO.
  5. Double-click the Group By fields for COMM, SAL, MGR, JOB, ENAME and EMPNO as well.
  6. Click the Global Having button in the toolbar. Click the Add button to add a new Having clause.
  7. Enter the Having clause to say:
    • EMP.SAL + NVL(EMP.COMM, 0) > 4000
  8. Click OK.

View the generated query.

It should appear as described above. This query selects all the employees whose salary plus commission is greater than 4000. The NVL command substitutes a null value in the specified column with the specified value, in this case, 0.

Model Area

Use the model area to visually join or manipulate the Tables, Views and Synonyms.

 

Add objects

Show/Hide the Table Selector on the SQL Modeler Toolbar. It lists the tables, views and synonyms available to you for inclusion in your SQL Model. Double-click each desired Table, View, Synonym, OR drag and drop them from the list to the model area. As the objects are presented on the model area, join lines are drawn from any established foreign keys in the DDL.

Additionally, drag-and-drop objects from:

TIP:

  • To open SQL Modeler with a table, select the table in DB Navigator then click Object Menu | SQL Modeler.
  • You can click in a table header and drag and drop the table where you want it in the Model Area.

 

Build a query

Steps Description
Clear an existing query from the Model Area, if required. Click New Model on the SQL Modeler Toolbar.
Define the type of statement you want to create. Choose SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, or INSERT from the SQL Modeler Toolbar.

Add objects to the Model Area.

Drag and drop Tables, Views, or Synonyms from the Table Selector to the modeling area.

You can show/hide the Table Selector on the SQL Modeler Toolbar.

Specify table columns to be used in the query.

Select column names in the tables in the Model Area.

Note: If no table columns are selected, then all columns will be included in the query.

Set criteria for the query

See the Criteria Tab.

View your query as SQL code or as a data grid.

Click the Generated Query Tab and Query Results Tab.

Save the model

Save the model from the SQL Modeler Toolbar.

 

TIP: You can use the SQL Modeler Toolbar to copy the query to the Code Editor window.

 

Create a table join

  1. Add two table names to the Model Area.
  2. In the first table, click the column name that you want to join. Drag it to the corresponding column name in the second table.
  3. When the join is successfully created, SQL Modeler draws a connecting line that represents the join between the two table columns.

TIP: To specify criteria for a table join, double-click on the connecting line joining the two columns. This opens the View Joins Dialog.
