I'm attempting to detect duplicated/repeated values within a hierarchical table.
Consider the following (slightly contrived) example:
SELECT *
FROM emp
START WITH mgr IN (SELECT empno FROM emp WHERE ename = 'JONES'
UNION ALL
SELECT empno FROM emp WHERE ename = 'JONES')
CONNECT BY PRIOR empno = mgr;
Returns...
EMPNO ENAME JOB MGR HIREDATE SAL COMM DEPTNO
---------- ---------- --------- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------- ----------
7788 SCOTT ANALYST 7566 19-APR-87 3000 20
7876 ADAMS CLERK 7788 23-MAY-87 1100 20
7902 FORD ANALYST 7566 03-DEC-81 3000 20
7369 SMITH CLERK 7902 17-DEC-80 800 20
What I actually want is...
EMPNO ENAME JOB MGR HIREDATE SAL COMM DEPTNO
---------- ---------- --------- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------- ----------
7788 SCOTT ANALYST 7566 19-APR-87 3000 20
7788 SCOTT ANALYST 7566 19-APR-87 3000 20
7876 ADAMS CLERK 7788 23-MAY-87 1100 20
7876 ADAMS CLERK 7788 23-MAY-87 1100 20
7369 SMITH CLERK 7902 17-DEC-80 800 20
7369 SMITH CLERK 7902 17-DEC-80 800 20
7902 FORD ANALYST 7566 03-DEC-81 3000 20
7902 FORD ANALYST 7566 03-DEC-81 3000 20
ie I want each row to be returned as many times as it exists in the sub-query (ignoring the order). Since the START WITH is using an IN clause, the repeated values are being suppressed. Is it possible to reorganise the SQL so that I can do this?
Note that in my case the sub-clause is not a UNION, but is a SELECT which may return multiple (possibly duplicate) values from a table.
I could do it in PL/SQL by writing the values into a temp table and then GROUPing + COUNTing, but I'd prefer to do it in SQL only if possible.
Let me know if any clarification is required.
Thanks :-)
EDIT:
Note that there may be 0...N values returned from the sub-query.
Try This one..
SELECT EMPNO,ENAME FROM,count(*)as counts emp group by EMPNO,ENAME having count(*)>1
