    Hi,

    Can the gurus tell me how I can use select statemen in decode. Following is a part of create view in Informix and I want to do the same in Oracle view creation.

    CASE WHEN EXISTS (
    SELECT *
    FROM qsd_account
    WHERE account_num = lo.cust_num
    )
    THEN "Y"
    ELSE "N"
    END,

    I am trying something like this & it does not work

    create or replace view v1 (tname,fld) as
    select table_name,(decode(select nvl(num_rows,0) from user_tables
    where table_name= t.table_name,0,'N','Y')) from ods.ods_tables t
    /

    select table_name, decode(u.table_name,NULL,'N','Y') from user_tables u, ods.ods_tables t where t.table_name=u.table_name(+);

    Select statement in decode

    HI,

    Sorry for the second part. My main question is about assigning a value to a view column depending on the outcome of select statement. This is possible in informix. I want to do similar Oracle.

    Select statement in decode

    Hi,

    I just did what informix was doing and it works in oracle too. The view below was created.

    create or replace view v1 (tname,fld) as

    select table_name,case when exists (select * from user_tables
    where table_name= t.table_name) then 'Y' else 'N' end
    from ods.ods_tables t

    Hello

    If you want to use select statement in decode function

    Given one example below.

    Hope this will help you.

    create table emp
    (empno number,
    ename varchar2(30),
    status varchar2(10)
    )
    create or replace view empview(empno,ename,status,result)
    as
    select empno,ename,status,
    decode((select status from emp a
    where empno = b.empno),
    'Male','Y',
    'Female','N') result
    from emp b
