Hi,

I have a table of work, for each row there is a frequency column, and this is the number of days this work is repeated

i.e. if it was 24 every 24 days the work woruld be carried out

I need to write a query which can return a row for each time the work is to be carried out in the space of the next year

Is this possible??

Thanks

Post a test case: create table and insert statements.
Also post the result you want with these data.

Before please read OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.
Always post your Oracle version (4 decimals).

Ok, I have created a simple script to create and populate a simple table to explain what I mean Razz (Please se the attached Script)

So the table has 10 rows, each row has a different frequency, for eaxmple WorkId 4 has a frequency of 28

So every 28 days this work would need to be carried out, and so in my look ahead query of one year this Work ID and Description would need to be printed 15 times.

Create table LookAhead(WorkId int, Description Char(100), Frequency int)

Insert into LookAhead (WORKID, DESCRIPTION, FREQUENCY) Values (1, 'Description 1', 25);
Insert into LookAhead (WORKID, DESCRIPTION, FREQUENCY) Values (2, 'Description 2', 26);
Insert into LookAhead (WORKID, DESCRIPTION, FREQUENCY) Values (3, 'Description 3', 27);
Insert into LookAhead (WORKID, DESCRIPTION, FREQUENCY) Values (4, 'Description 4', 28);
Insert into LookAhead (WORKID, DESCRIPTION, FREQUENCY) Values (5, 'Description 5', 29);
Insert into LookAhead (WORKID, DESCRIPTION, FREQUENCY) Values (6, 'Description 6', 30);
Insert into LookAhead (WORKID, DESCRIPTION, FREQUENCY) Values (7, 'Description 7', 31);
Insert into LookAhead (WORKID, DESCRIPTION, FREQUENCY) Values (8, 'Description 8', 32);
Insert into LookAhead (WORKID, DESCRIPTION, FREQUENCY) Values (9, 'Description 9', 33);
Insert into LookAhead (WORKID, DESCRIPTION, FREQUENCY) Values (10, 'Description 10', 34);
COMMIT;

If I understood the problem, Workid 4 and its description should be "printed" 15 times.

[ But how come 365/28 becomes 15 ? ]

There could be many ways to do . One way would be to

1. Create a inline view for rows generated
2. Join this to LookAhead.Workid
3. Apply suitable where condition

Is this not what OP posted a test case?
Just output is missing but it should quite long and I think:
Quote:

So every 28 days this work would need to be carried out, and so in my look ahead query of one year this Work ID and Description would need to be printed 15 times.

is clear. Doesn't it? (even if 365/28 is 13 and not 15)

Michel

will this help?

SELECT workid,description,frequency,Round(365/frequency) FROM lookahead a,(SELECT LEVEL lvl FROM dual CONNECT BY LEVEL<=365) b
WHERE b.LVL<=Round(365/a.frequency)
ORDER BY 1;

Prawin.
