The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

sql on date column

Asked by barfi in Oracle 10.x, Oracle Database

Tags: sql or pl sql

I have a table with following fields and the key to the table is a
combination of first 3 cols.
table 1
ID VARCHAR2(11 BYTE) NOT NULL
recno NUMBER(4)NOT NULL
Date DATE NOT NULL
USER1 VARCHAR2 NOT NULL
I need to insert data from a staging table to above table and the output s/b:
id recno date user1
1 0 2/1/2008 2//1/2008
1 0 10/4/2004 10/4/2004
1 0 8/2/2003 8/2/2003
2 0 1/2/1999 1/2/1999
2 0 2/2/2000 2/2/2000
3 0 1/2/2005 1/2/2005
date and user1 cols are going to be derived from one col which is date type from source
table,recno is going to be o for all rows. How can I insert the values from source table
handling the dates on the fly with latest date on the top for both cols(date and user1)
I cannot sort or order by on user1 col. as it a varchar type.but I am bringing data from
date type col from source table.I am running into unique constraint violation if I try
to insert data into date column(2nd col)I do not understand how do I keep the user1 col.
with latest date on the top having the same date in the date col but keep them still
unique. I hope It does not sound too confusing.
