SELECT COUNT(*)，SUM(SAL) FROM EMP WHERE DEPT_NO = 0020 AND ENAME LIKE ‘SMITH%';
SELECT COUNT(*)，SUM(SAL) FROM EMP WHERE DEPT_NO = 0030 AND ENAME LIKE ‘SMITH%';
你可以用DECODE函数高效地得到相同结果
SELECT COUNT(DECODE(DEPT_NO,0020,'X',NULL)) D0020_COUNT, COUNT(DECODE(DEPT_NO,0030,'X',NULL)) D0030_COUNT, SUM(DECODE(DEPT_NO,0020,SAL,NULL)) D0020_SAL, SUM(DECODE(DEPT_NO,0030,SAL,NULL)) D0030_SAL FROM EMP WHERE ENAME LIKE ‘SMITH%';
类似的,DECODE函数也可以运用于GROUP BY 和ORDER BY子句中.
9. 整合简单,无关联的数据库访问
如果你有几个简单的数据库查询语句,你可以把它们整合到一个查询中(即使它们之间没有关系)
例如:
SELECT NAME FROM EMP WHERE EMP_NO = 1234;
SELECT NAME FROM DPT WHERE DPT_NO = 10 ;
SELECT NAME FROM CAT WHERE CAT_TYPE = ‘RD';
上面的3个查询可以被合并成一个:
SELECT E.NAME , D.NAME , C.NAME FROM CAT C , DPT D , EMP E,DUAL X WHERE NVL(‘X',X.DUMMY) = NVL(‘X',E.ROWID(+)) AND NVL(‘X',X.DUMMY) = NVL(‘X',D.ROWID(+)) AND NVL(‘X',X.DUMMY) = NVL(‘X',C.ROWID(+)) AND E.EMP_NO(+) = 1234 AND D.DEPT_NO(+) = 10 AND C.CAT_TYPE(+) = ‘RD';
