At Lock Point-in-Time Query

The following are the steps to create custom SQL for Current Data point-in-time query:

1. Login to Oracle Argus Insight.
2. Navigate to Queries > Advance Condition > New (Argus Mart).
3. From Query Type drop-down list, select At Lock.
4. Add a field, and save the advance condition.
5. Click View SQL.

   The Advanced Conditions SQL screen appears.

6. Write the custom SQL as per the format given below:

   Query Format:

   SELECT DISTINCT CASE_MASTER.CASE_ID,CASE_MASTER.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE
   FROM CASE_MASTER,
   (SELECT CASE_ID, VALIDSTART AS EFFECTIVE_START_DATE, DATE_LOCKED FROM CASE_ALL_LOCKED_REV WHERE  USER_LOCKED = 1  ) X , <additional table(s)>
   WHERE <filter clause(s)> 
   AND  CASE_MASTER.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE <= X.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE
   AND CASE_MASTER.EFFECTIVE_END_DATE > X.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE 
   AND X.CASE_ID = CASE_MASTER.CASE_ID 
   AND X.DATE_LOCKED <= To_Date ('<DATE_FOR_LOCKED_DATE>','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')  
   

   Example 1: Custom SQL using a single table

   SELECT DISTINCT CASE_MASTER.CASE_ID,CASE_MASTER.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE 
   FROM CASE_MASTER, 
   (SELECT CASE_ID, VALIDSTART AS EFFECTIVE_START_DATE, DATE_LOCKED FROM CASE_ALL_LOCKED_REV WHERE  USER_LOCKED = 1) X  
   WHERE  ((UPPER(case_master.case_num) =UPPER('CASE100')))
   AND  CASE_MASTER.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE <= X.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE 
   AND CASE_MASTER.EFFECTIVE_END_DATE > X.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE 
   AND X.CASE_ID = CASE_MASTER.CASE_ID 
   AND X.DATE_LOCKED <= To_Date ('22-DEC-2015 14:12:07','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
   

   Example 2: Custom SQL using two or more tables

   SELECT DISTINCT CASE_MASTER.CASE_ID,CASE_MASTER.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE 
   FROM CASE_MASTER, 
   (SELECT CASE_ID, VALIDSTART AS EFFECTIVE_START_DATE, DATE_LOCKED FROM CASE_ALL_LOCKED_REV WHERE  USER_LOCKED = 1) X, 
   (SELECT CASE_PARENT_INFO.*
   FROM CASE_PARENT_INFO, (SELECT CASE_ID, VALIDSTART AS EFFECTIVE_START_DATE, DATE_LOCKED FROM CASE_ALL_LOCKED_REV WHERE  USER_LOCKED = 1) X   
   WHERE  CASE_PARENT_INFO.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE <= X.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE 
   AND CASE_PARENT_INFO.EFFECTIVE_END_DATE > X.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE 
   AND X.CASE_ID = CASE_PARENT_INFO.CASE_ID 
   AND X.DATE_LOCKED <= To_Date ('22-DEC-2015 14:12:07','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'))   
   CASE_PARENT_INFO 
   WHERE  (CASE_MASTER.CASE_ID = CASE_PARENT_INFO.CASE_ID  AND  ( (UPPER(case_master.case_num) =UPPER('CASE100')) AND  (case_parent_info.gender_id=1))) 
   AND  CASE_MASTER.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE <= X.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE                
   AND CASE_MASTER.EFFECTIVE_END_DATE > X.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE 
   AND X.CASE_ID = CASE_MASTER.CASE_ID 
   AND X.DATE_LOCKED <= To_Date ('22-DEC-2015 14:12:07','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')

   Note:

   • Make sure the query begins with SELECT DISTINCT CASE_MASTER.CASE_ID,CASE_MASTER.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE FROM CASE_MASTER.
   • All tables other than CASE_MASTER should be in format (SELECT <TABLE_NAME>.* FROM <TABLE_NAME>, (SELECT CASE_ID, VALIDSTART AS EFFECTIVE_START_DATE, DATE_LOCKED FROM CASE_ALL_LOCKED_REV WHERE USER_LOCKED = 1 ) X WHERE <TABLE_NAME>.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE <= X.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE AND <TABLE_NAME>.EFFECTIVE_END_DATE > X.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE AND X.CASE_ID = <TABLE_NAME>.CASE_ID AND X.DATE_LOCKED <= To_Date ('<DATE_FOR_LOCKED_DATE>','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') ) <TABLE_NAME> to execute query as At Lock.

     If the table does not have EFFECTIVE_START_DATE and EFFECTIVE_END_DATE columns then no inner view is required.

   • If you do not include EFFECTIVE_START_DATE and EFFECTIVE_END_DATE clause with all the tables, then the query will execute and case series will be generated, but the result may not be of At Lock type.
   • Join with (SELECT CASE_ID, VALIDSTART AS EFFECTIVE_START_DATE, DATE_LOCKED FROM CASE_ALL_LOCKED_REV WHERE USER_LOCKED = 1 )X is required to get valid revision for table <TABLE_NAME> which is user locked.
   • CASE_ALL_LOCKED_REV table contains all locked revisions (user locked as well as post locked).
   • CASE_ALL_LOCKED_REV.USER_LOCKED = 1 will give only user locked revisions.
   • Make sure the query is well formatted and executable without any parameters.
   • Do not use ";" at the end of the query.
   • Do not use comments in the query.
