    Zero results for SQL query involving z303 or z308 table

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 20

    Problem Symptoms:
    Site has bib library ABC01, ADM library DEF50, and usr_library ABC50. The following SQL receives zero hits when it should receive one hit:

    select count(*)
    FROM DEF50.z103, ABC01.z13, DEF50.z30, DEF50.z36, DEF50.z308, DEF50.z303
    WHERE z36_rec_key = z30_rec_key and
    (Z13.Z13_REC_KEY = Z103.Z103_LKR_DOC_NUMBER AND
    SUBSTR(Z30.Z30_REC_KEY,1,9) = SUBSTR(Z103.Z103_REC_KEY,6,9)) and
    (rtrim(z303_rec_key) = rtrim(z308.z308_id) and z308_rec_key like '03%') and
    z36_status = 'L' and
    rtrim(z36_id) = rtrim(z308_id) and
    (z36_due_date >= '20080101' and z36_due_date <= '20140612') and
    z36_rec_key = '000393974000010';

    Cause:
    The z303 and z308 (and z304 and z353) tables are in the $usr_library, *not* the ADM library. The SQL: "FROM DEF50.z103, ABC01.z13, DEF50.z30, DEF50.z36, DEF50.z308, DEF50.z303" is incorrect.

    Resolution:
    Correct SQL to: FROM DEF50.z103, ABC01.z13, DEF50.z30, DEF50.z36, ABC50.z308,ABCZ50.z303

    Additional Information

    Though there are z303 (Global patron), z304 (Patron address), z308 (Patron ID), and z353 (Patron index) tables in DEF50, there should *not* be.

    The system looks for these tables in the $usr_library, which is ABC50. It never looks for them in the ADM library.

    These def50 z303, z304, z308, and z353 tables should be dropped to avoid confusion.
