Current Data 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 Current Data.
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, <additional table(s)>
   WHERE <filter clause(s)> AND CASE_MASTER.EFFECTIVE_END_DATE = '31-DEC-9999'  
   

   Example 1: Custom SQL using a single table

   SELECT DISTINCT CASE_MASTER.CASE_ID,CASE_MASTER.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE FROM CASE_MASTER WHERE ((UPPER(case_master.case_num) =UPPER('CASE100'))) AND CASE_MASTER.EFFECTIVE_END_DATE = '31-DEC-9999'
   

   Example 2: Custom SQL using two or more tables

   SELECT DISTINCT CASE_MASTER.CASE_ID,CASE_MASTER.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE FROM CASE_MASTER, (SELECT * FROM CASE_PARENT_INFO WHERE CASE_PARENT_INFO.EFFECTIVE_END_DATE = '31-DEC-9999') 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_END_DATE = '31-DEC-9999'

   Note:

   • Make sure the query begins with SELECT DISTINCT CASE_MASTER.CASE_ID,CASE_MASTER.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE FROM CASE_MASTER.
   • All the tables other than CASE_MASTER should be in format (SELECT * FROM <TABLE_NAME> WHERE <TABLE_NAME>.EFFECTIVE_END_DATE = '31-DEC-9999' ) <TABLE_NAME> to execute query as Current Data.

     If the table does not have EFFECTIVE_START_DATE column then no inner view is required.

   • If you do not include EFFECTIVE_END_DATE = '31-DEC-9999' clause with all the tables, then the query will execute and case series will be generated, but the result may not be of Current Data type.
   • 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.
