Hi Team,

I am new to this group.
I have a requirement where I am unable to nail down the logic.

Here is a table. I need to pull out the lines with a logic where the total (sum)quantity of lines is based on a static value.

line id Quantity
------- ---------
1 22
2 23
3 2
4 8
5 31
6 8
7 7

If I pass the static value as 30
The SQL need to pull
Line id 1,4 or 1,6 or 2,7

Any combination is sufficient.


Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ashok

Sorry, I just changed the sample data format.

I am new to this group.
I have a requirement where I am unable to nail down the logic.

Here is a table orders. I need to pull out the lines with a logic where the total (sum)quantity of lines is based on a static value.

Orders : 

line id Quantity
------- ---------
1       22
2       23
3       2
4       8
5       31
6       8
7       7

If I pass the static value as 30
The SQL need to pull
Line id 1,4 or 1,6 or 2,7

Any combination is sufficient as long as the sum of the quantity matches the static value.


Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ashok

You omitted to provide the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements needed to set up your problem. However, for example,
orclz> select a.ename,a.sal from emp a join emp b on (a.sal + b.sal = 2400);

ENAME             SAL
---------- ----------
SMITH             800
ALLEN            1600
ADAMS            1100
MILLER           1300

... Also always post your Oracle version, with 4 decimals (query v$version), as often solution depends on it.

Some questions:
  • if you pass 31 is 5 alone a solution?
  • if you pass 32 is 1,3,4 a solution?
  • Do you search for solutions with 2 rows and exactly 2 rows or any number of rows?

Here are the Create and Insert statements for my issue.

insert into orders values(3,2);
insert into orders values(4,8);
insert into orders values(5,31);
insert into orders values(6,8);
insert into orders values(7,7);

select * from orders;

line_id Quantity
------- ---------
1       22
2       23
3       2
4       8

if you pass 31 is 5 alone a solution? Yes
if you pass 32 is 1,3,4 a solution? Yes
Do you search for solutions with 2 rows and exactly 2 rows or any number of rows? Number of rows doesn't matter.
