E9.2 BSVW left outer join behaviour

Hi folks

I have created a new custom view in JDE V554611B to help with a watchlist I need to make.
But when people are testing this in SQL they get totally different results and I've worked out why

There is a left outer join from F4611 to F00092 and if use SQL to replicate the BSVW and place the select values in the left outer join it works, if I place the join in the overall final WHERE statement it doesn't (in this case it matches the watchlist count linked to the APPL)
So any ideas (other than a dropped view in SQL) to help E1 force the values to select on in the left outer command not the overall where

This brings back the expected results as the 'where' is in the left outer join specifics

Code: 
select --* Watchlist for work order pick errors
 ibanpl, count(*)
from crpdta.f4611
inner join crpdta.f4102 on ibitm = r2itm and ibmcu = r2mcu
left outer join crpdta.f0101 on ibanpl = aban8
left outer join crpdta.f00092 on t3mcu = r2mcu and t3rmk2 = r2aisl and  t3sdb = 'BU' and t3tydt ='WA'

where r2tyfl = '2' and r2mcu = '         245' and r2pstb = '300' and r2ocde = 'WO'

group by ibanpl
order by ibanpl ;

vs this that only brings ONE record (F00092 matches) if the where is in the overall.

Code: 
select --* Watchlist for work order pick errors
 ibanpl, count(*)
from crpdta.f4611
inner join crpdta.f4102 on ibitm = r2itm and ibmcu = r2mcu
left outer join crpdta.f0101 on ibanpl = aban8
 left outer join crpdta.f00092 on t3mcu = r2mcu and t3rmk2 = r2aisl
where r2tyfl = '2' and r2mcu = '         245' and r2pstb = '300' and r2ocde = 'WO' and  t3sdb = 'BU' and t3tydt ='WA'

group by ibanpl
order by ibanpl ;

But we have no way to do that in E1. The values used in the select will always be added to the final where

Good info! We are forced to use "advanced sql" to get what we want-- in pre-release 23 we are forced to use the sql-view-as-jde-table hack (or sql in a groovy script step, very yuck), and in r23 we are supposedly given the ability to bring our own sql to a standard orch component. If you're like me you are maybe holding off on going all in on the sql-as-table trick because of a hope of sooner than later upgrade :)
 
Try changing your join from a "SQL 92 Left Outer" to a "Left Outer" (or vice-versa) in the BSVW design aid, use it in an APPL or something where you can capture the debug log or JAS debug log and look at the generated SQL. One of those options will add a "OR ISNULL" clause to the WHERE clause for the joined table for any filter criteria so you should effectively get:

Code: 
select --* Watchlist for work order pick errors
 ibanpl, count(*)
from crpdta.f4611
inner join crpdta.f4102 on ibitm = r2itm and ibmcu = r2mcu
left outer join crpdta.f0101 on ibanpl = aban8
 left outer join crpdta.f00092 on t3mcu = r2mcu and t3rmk2 = r2aisl
where r2tyfl = '2' and r2mcu = '         245' and r2pstb = '300' and r2ocde = 'WO'
and  (t3sdb = 'BU' OR t3sdb ISNULL)
and (t3tydt ='WA' OR  t3tydt ISNULL)

group by ibanpl
order by ibanpl ;

...or something to that effect. That may get you what you want in that it will return everything from F4611 and only matching records from F00092 where sdb="BU" and ydt='WA' which is what I think you are trying to accomplish.

JDE SQL is limited (the BSFN C APIs in JDEBASE add myriad new options, but is still very limited). One of the biggest limitations is that you can't create subqueries... which is really what I think you want in this situation and what you effectively did with your first query. But you still may be able to accomplish what you want with JDE "out of the box" SQL.
 
Didn't work Larry, tried that too (unless CNC didn't refresh and deploy it correctly)

The issue is any where claus that comes after a view declares joins is classed as a simple join. SQL basics I was told :)

I'm, up aganst the clock so just did it using a dropped view in SQL for now. I'd like to come back to it as this will occur again no doubt in another project. I thought the 92 join would work but it doesn't
 
Update on this

We can't make a dropped view over an E1 view as the database won't ever use views in the SQL anyway. If you have a view over F4801 and F0101 called V554801A for example, you will never see an SQL expression using V554801, only a join to F4801 and F0101.

So making a dropped view over my V554611B E1 view was kind of pointless, it would never work.

So to fix this what I will do is create a new monster table, F554611B listing ALL the columns in my original V554611B view from all the tables I used.
THEN I will create a dropped view over F554611B usng the SQL left outer I wanted to achive above.

Wish me luck :)
 
This SQL to drop and replace the view works like an absolute charm.
so step 1 create the all encompassng table and note duplicate aliases need a substitute DD item (MCU and MCU1 for example)

SQL B
drop table TESTDTA.F554611B;
/
drop view TESTDTA.F554611B;
