My report become very slow when i use this code in oracle report ,

Please how can we optimize this





select case
when (select count(payscale_id_pk) from assignments where empid = e.empid
and dept_sec_id = ds.dept_sec_id
and dateto is null ) > 1
AND (select count(distinct payscale_id_pk) from assignments
where empid = e.empid
and dept_sec_id = ds.dept_sec_id
and dateto is null) = 1
then (select distinct payscale_id_pk from assignments
where empid = e.empid
and dept_sec_id = ds.dept_sec_id
and dateto is null)
when (select count(payscale_id_pk) from assignments
where empid = e.empid
and dept_sec_id = ds.dept_sec_id and dateto is
null ) > 1
AND (select count(distinct payscale_id_pk) from assignments where empid = e.empid and dept_sec_id = ds.dept_sec_id and
dateto is null) > 1
then (select to_char(max(to_number(payscale_id_pk))) from assignments where empid = e.empid and dept_sec_id = ds.dept_sec_id and
to_number(payscale_id_pk) <> 23 and dateto is null)
when (select count(payscale_id_pk) from assignments where empid = e.empid and dept_sec_id = ds.dept_sec_id and dateto is
null) = 1
then (select payscale_id_pk from assignments where empid = e.empid and dept_sec_id = ds.dept_sec_id and dateto is
null)
end as payscale_id_pk
from dual

By throwing it away and starting again.

.You can write your query symbolicaly like this:
select case 
 when (:1 ) > 1 
 AND ( :2) = 1 
 then ( :3 )
 when ( :1 ) > 1 
 AND ( :2) > 1 
 then ( :4 )
 when ( :1 ) = 1 
 then ( :5 )
 end as payscale_id_pk
 from dual 

 1 select count(payscale_id_pk) 
   from assignments 
   where empid = e.empid 
   and dept_sec_id = ds.dept_sec_id 
   and dateto is null

 2 select count(distinct payscale_id_pk) 
   from assignments 
   where empid = e.empid 
   and dept_sec_id = ds.dept_sec_id 
   and dateto is null

 3 select distinct payscale_id_pk 
   from assignments 
   where empid = e.empid 
   and dept_sec_id = ds.dept_sec_id 
   and dateto is null

 4 select to_char(max(to_number(payscale_id_pk))) 
   from assignments 
   where empid = e.empid 
   and dept_sec_id = ds.dept_sec_id 
   and to_number(payscale_id_pk) <> 23 
   and dateto is null

 5 select payscale_id_pk 
   from assignments 
   where empid = e.empid 
   and dept_sec_id = ds.dept_sec_id 
   and dateto is  null


Now, there's a lot of duplication in these tests.
The results returned by :3 and :5 will always be the same, so the first and last terms in the CASE can be combined.
If :2 >1 then it follows that :1 must be > 1 as well, so the first part of the second clause can be dropped.

Now as to the structure of performing multiple queries against your table - it's really poor. I'll need to do some tests to see whether it actually evaluates all the test queries, of if it just steps through the list until it gets to a test that passes, but either way in the worst case you'll be hitting the same table 6 times to get an answer.

I think this can be rewritten as
select case when cnt_dist_pk > 1 then payscale_id_pk_not_23
             else payscale_id_pk
             end
 from (select count(distinct payscale_id_pk)   cnt_dist_pk
             ,max(to_number(payscale_id_pk)    payscale_id_pk
             ,max(case when to_number(payscale_id_pk) =23 then 0 
                       else to_number(payscale_id_pk) end) payscale_id_pk_not_23
       from assignments 
       where empid     = e.empid 
       and dept_sec_id = ds.dept_sec_id 
       and dateto is null)

when i run the query given below
it give only 3 employees

How is this in any way connected to your previous post?

Is 3 the number of rows you were expecting?
Given that Oracle will be returning the correct number of rows, why do you feel that the number returned should be different?

Given that we have none of
-DDL for your tables
-DML for your data
-Values for the bind variables that you used
-An explanation of what you are trying to achieve

What help are you expecting?
