Informatica BDM - wildcard in lookup transformation - informatica

I have two tables in Teradata database. I need to do lookup transformation i n Informatica BDM there. Lookup condition looks like:
table1.col1 = table2.col1
table1.col2 = table2.col2
table1.col3 = table2.col3
table1.col4 = table2.col4
Problem is, that in table1, in col2, col3, col4, there can be value '*', which is like wildcard, meaning that this value for example in col3 can be joined to any value in table2.col3. In other words, I need to create lookup transforamtion like code below>
select a.*, b.col4, b.col5
from tablea a left join
tableb b
on (b.col2 = a.col2 or b.col2 = '*') and
(b.col3 = a.col3 or b.col3 = '*')
qualify 1 = row_number() over (partition by a.id order by (case when b.col2 = '*' then 2 else 1 end), (case when b.col3 = '*' then 2, else 1 end))
Thank you in advance!

I somehow figured it out, so I'm providing possible solution in case it would help anybody.
It's not possible do define more complex conditions of lookup in lookup transformation. Even if you choose specify by -> Parameter and try define lookup conditions. Informatica allows only simple conditions like input_col1 = lookup_col1 and input_col2 = lookup_col2. More complex conditions like b.col2 = a.col2 or b.col2 = '*' are not allowed.
But in this case it is possible to use joiner transformation where it is possible to define more complex conditions like mentioned before in join type -> Parameter.
This solved my problem. Hopefully it helps somebody.

RelNode of a query in which FROM clause itself has a query

I want to achieve result from a table where I ORDER BY column id and I don't want id to be present in the result. I can achieve this using the following query.
SELECT COALESCE (col1, '**')
FROM (select col1, id FROM myDataSet.myTable WHERE col4 = 'some filter' ORDER BY id);
Now, I want to create a RelNode of the above query. As far as I know, in calcite, to perform table scan, there are only two methods scan(String tableName) and scan(Iterable<String> tableNames). Is there a way to scan(RelNode ) ? How to do this ?
The query
select col1, col2, col2 FROM myDataSet.myTable WHERE col4 = 'some filter' ORDER BY id
should also give you the desired result.
If you want to represent the query you have written more directly, you would start by constructing a RelNode for the query in the from clause, starting with a scan of myDataSet.myTable, adding the filter, and the order. Then you can project the specific set of columns you want.
Just simply create a RelNode of inner subquery and create another projection on top of it. Like so.
builder.scan('myTable')
.filter(builder.call(SqlStdOperator.EQUALS, builder.field(col4), builder.literal('some filter') )))
.project(builder.field('col1'), builder.field('id'))
.sort(builder.field('id'))
.project(builder.call(SqlStdOperator.COALESCE(builder.field('col1'), builder.literal('**'))))
.build()

Doctrine dql with left join using the same table

I am trying to transform the following query to dql:
SELECT cm.*
FROM conversation__conversation cc
INNER JOIN conversation__message cm
ON cm.conversation_id = cc.id
INNER JOIN vehicle__vehicle vv
ON vv.id = cc.vehicle_id
WHERE (cc.driver_id = 25 OR vv.owner_id = 25)
AND cm.id in (SELECT m1.id
FROM conversation__message m1
LEFT JOIN conversation__message m2
ON m1.conversation_id = m2.conversation_id AND m1.id < m2.id
WHERE m2.id IS NULL)
ORDER BY cm.created_at DESC;
I see 2 main difficulties in this query. The first one is that you have a subselect, but I already check how to do it in dql but the really difficult part is to make a left join using the same table. I cannot make it work... anyone knows how to do it?

SQL Update From Where Query

I have 2 tables with information in them. I need to update the SelfServiceUserName column in table A_CLIENT with the value from the SubstVarValue column of the A_DEV_SUBSTVAR_VALUE table when the ClientUID and DeviceID match and the SubstVarName from the A_DEV_SUBSTVAR_VALUE table = samaccount name. Here is the query I've tried to run but I keep getting errors:
UPDATE A_CLIENT
SET SelfServiceUserName = (SELECT SubstVarValue
FROM A_DEV_SUBSTVAR_VALUE
WHERE A_DEV_SUBSTVAR_VALUE.SubstVarName = 'samaccountname')
WHERE A_CLIENT.ClientUID = A_DEV_SUBSTVAR_VALUE.DeviceID
I always write a join between the two tables first to get the rows I want side by side and make sure I have the JOIN clause correct.
SELECT p.ProductID, p.ProductName, p.Price AS OldPrice, n.Price as NewPrice
FROM Products as p
JOIN NewPrices as n on p.ProductID = n.ProductID
Once I have done that it's easy to change it into an update statement by replacing the SELECT clause with an UPDATE and SET:
UPDATE p
SET Price = n.Price
FROM Products as p
JOIN NewPrices as n on p.ProductID = n.ProductID
Note you don't alias the Price on the left side of the SET clause, because it is necessarily from the p (Product) table, so there is no ambiguity. You must still alias the Price on the right of the equals because it could be the field coming from either the p (Product) or n (NewPrice) table.
You could also use a CTE (Common Table Expression) if your SQL engine supports it:
WITH x AS (
SELECT p.ProductID, p.ProductName, p.Price AS OldPrice, n.Price as NewPrice
FROM Products as p
JOIN NewPrices as n on p.ProductID = n.ProductID
)
UPDATE x set OldPrice = NewPrice
Try something like
update a_client c
inner join a_dev_substvar_value d on
c.clientuid = d.deviceid
set
c.selfserviceusername = d.substvarvalue
where
d.substvarname = 'samaccountname';
Note, you should try avoid writing select statements in your were clause because it is run for ever row returned. This can be a big performance hit.
That should work.

subquery in join with doctrine dql

I want to use DQL to create a query which looks like this in SQL:
select
e.*
from
e
inner join (
select
uuid, max(locale) as locale
from
e
where
locale = 'nl_NL' or
locale = 'nl'
group by
uuid
) as e_ on e.uuid = e_.uuid and e.locale = e_.locale
I tried to use QueryBuilder to generate the query and subquery. I think they do the right thing by them selves but I can't combine them in the join statement. Does anybody now if this is possible with DQL? I can't use native SQL because I want to return real objects and I don't know for which object this query is run (I only know the base class which have the uuid and locale property).
$subQueryBuilder = $this->_em->createQueryBuilder();
$subQueryBuilder
->addSelect('e.uuid, max(e.locale) as locale')
->from($this->_entityName, 'e')
->where($subQueryBuilder->expr()->in('e.locale', $localeCriteria))
->groupBy('e.uuid');
$queryBuilder = $this->_em->createQueryBuilder();
$queryBuilder
->addSelect('e')
->from($this->_entityName, 'e')
->join('('.$subQueryBuilder.') as', 'e_')
->where('e.uuid = e_.uuid')
->andWhere('e.locale = e_.locale');
You cannot put a subquery in the FROM clause of your DQL.
I will assume that your PK is {uuid, locale}, as of discussion with you on IRC. Since you also have two different columns in your query, this can become ugly.
What you can do is putting it into the WHERE clause:
select
e
from
MyEntity e
WHERE
e.uuid IN (
select
e2.uuid
from
MyEntity e2
where
e2.locale IN (:selectedLocales)
group by
e2.uuid
)
AND e.locale IN (
select
max(e3.locale) as locale
from
MyEntity e3
where
e3.locale IN (:selectedLocales)
group by
e3.uuid
)
Please note that I used a comparison against a (non empty) array of locales that you bind to to the :selectedLocales. This is to avoid destroying the query cache if you want to match against additional locales.
I also wouldn't suggest building this with the query builder if there's no real advantage in doing so since it will just make it simpler to break the query cache if you add conditionals dynamically (also, it's 3 query builders involved!)

Doctrine2 Query Builder Left Join with Select

I want to implement this SQL using doctrine2 query builder:
SELECT c.*, COUNT(s.id) AS studentCount
FROM classes c
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT *
FROM student_classes
WHERE YEAR = '2012'
) sc ON c.id = sc.class_id
LEFT JOIN students s ON sc.student_id = s.id
GROUP BY c.id
I tried this one but didn't work
$qb = $this->getEntityManager()
->getRepository('Classes')
->createQueryBuilder('c');
$qb->select('c.id AS id, c.name AS name, COUNT(s) AS studentCount');
$qb->leftJoin(
$qb->select('sc1')
->from('StudentClasses', 'sc1')
->where('sc1.year = :year')
->setParameter('year', $inputYear),
'sc2'
);
$qb->leftJoin('sc2.students', 's');
$qb->groupBy('c.id');
return $qb->getQuery()->getScalarResult();
or should I use nativeSQL instead?
any help would be appreciated,
thanks.
What are you trying to do is really interesting, because JOIN on a SELECT seems to not be supported by Doctrine2 with DQL or QueryBuilder. Of course, you can try with a native query.
However, to answer to your question, I believe that you don't need to make a JOIN on a SELECT. Simply, JOIN on StudentClasses and then add a condition in the WHERE about the $year! The WHERE clause is made for that.
You can use WITH clause to join entity with additional check, For your subquery you can write the same using left join with year filter, In join part i have used c.studentClasses based on the assumption that in Classes entity you have some mapped property for StudentClasses entity
$qb = $this->getEntityManager()
->getRepository('Classes')
->createQueryBuilder('c');
$qb->select('c.id AS id, c.name AS name, COUNT(s) AS studentCount');
$qb->leftJoin('c.studentClasses','sc2', 'WITH', 'sc2.year = :year');
$qb->leftJoin('sc2.students', 's');
$qb->setParameter('year', $inputYear);
$qb->groupBy('c.id');
