Date issue while extracting data .

Dear Experts ,

I am trying to extract data from below table . when i remove date filter from where condition its working fine , where when i add date filter its displaying zero records found .

when i execute same query in back end (sql tool) i am getting 1 million record .

Please suggest, i am doing anything wrong in adding date filter , else data format is wrong in my condition .

TransactionFact :

SQL SELECT  did,document_date from fas_gl_transaction where company_code = 'TEST' and trunc(document_date) between '01-APR-2013' and '31-MAR-2014';

STORE TransactionFact into ..\QVD\TEST\TransactionFact_History_2013.QVD;

In his OP he said:

when i execute same query in back end (sql tool) i am getting 1 million record

which makes it a very weird issue because the execution is done in both cases by the database engine. Could it be permission-related? Seems improbable...

Sriram, try rewriting or removing parts of the WHERE condition in your SELECT statement. For example, it could be that the database doesn't understand the between date values anymore in your QlikView script context. Can you rewrite them as default database dates? Like

:

WHERE trunc(document_date) between '2013-04-01' and '2014-03-31'

:

Best,

Peter

Hi Sriram,

your query looks fine to me.

Maybe you can try comparing the values in your query ('01-APR-2013') with the result of the trunc(document_date) and see if their format matches. I dont see any other possible issue in your query, also company 'TEST' should exists.

Please let us know if you need anything else or if you found a solution for your issue.

Kind regards,

Not really sure if this would anything, but try to put parenthesis around your between logic

TransactionFact :

SQL SELECT

     did,

     document_date

FROM fas_gl_transaction

Where (company_code = 'TEST') and

           (trunc(document_date) between '01-APR-2013' and '31-MAR-2014');

There is no IN function in Qlikview, so do the following:

Replace this code: and company_code IN ('FSL','RML','NASS','CML');

With this:   and Match(company_code,'FSL','RML','NASS','CML');

Dear Thiru ,

Instead of 'IN' , I used match in load statement , but i am getting same error .

So i put company filter in select statement and date filter in Load . still getting same error(error in expression ')' expected )

Please check attached files .

Because you cannot use between in QlikView. QlikView doesn't support between function. Plus, I won't even recommend using the where statement in the Load statement. I would filter out things in your sql statement so that the query has to bring less number of records to QlikView.

I would try to check if the query runs in SQL and try to resolve the issue there and then try to run with the fixed SQL query
