2. The Importance of ORDER BY

3. Relying on Fate… View name

4. What’s the Problem?

5. Ordered by record labels!

6. 140 rows All 2001

7. Paste the New Query into the Dialog Box

9. What’s a Threshold and Why Do We Need It?

10. Not much usable information

11. Reduce the Number of Record Labels Top 7 record labels in sales

12. Create a set of threshold values Every record label must beat every value in this set, OR simply every record label must beat the highest (i.e., maximum) value in this set Highest value

14. Working Backwards • Create a set of all record labels that have all sales values greater than those found in the set of thresholds All record labels must beat all threshold values (or simply the minimum sales value must beat the maximum threshold value)

15. Retrieve all record labels annual sales of those with minimum sales exceeding all values found in the thresholds Subquery: Select only those record labels that exist in the set that contains record labels with sales values greater than all threshold values 35 rows

16. Anatomy of the Subquery Basic Query for the Data Model: select category, year, sales from view1 alias1 where exists (select category, min(sales) from view1 alias2 where alias1.category = alias2.category group by category having min(sales) > all (select threshold from view2)) Retrieves only those category members that are found in the set produced by the first subquery Creates a set of category members whose minimum sales must be greater than all threshold values Creates a set of threshold values

17. In Graphics Builder

18. A Few Simple Steps for Creating a Graph(From Last Week) • Build the initial SQL command in SQL Plus • In Graphics Builder • Build the data model • Build the graph • Select the graph type • Assign the independent and dependent to the categories and values, respectively • Format the various components of graph as needed • Save and run the graph

19. Layout Editor Tool palette Chart tool - Create data model and graph

20. A few steps later… After Building the Graph

21. Generating an OGR File  From the File menu, select Administration, Generate and File System Be sure to generate a new OGR file every time a change is made to the OGD file.

22. Generating an OGR File  Save the file

23. In Form Builder
