I have a query like the following:
select t1.varid, t1.var1, t1.var2, t1.vardata, t2.varid, t2.var1, t2,.var2
from table1 t1, table2 t2
where t1.varid = t2.varid
and t1.vardata between to_date('20170807','YYYYMMDD') and to_date('20170808','YYYYMMDD')
Now the question is: I need to extract the data not only in the data range specified in the query above, but I want to extract many other ranges in the same query.
To do that, I used UNION ALL
and it works. The problem is that I have to re-write this part many times:
select t1.varid, t1.var1, t1.var2, t1.vardata, t2.varid, t2.var1, t2, var2
from table1 t1, table2 t2
where t1.varid = t2.varid
Is there a tip for how to define select t1.varid...
as a named variable in order to avoid a long boring repeated query?
Any other solutions are welcome.
As discussed in the chat you can do it as below:
SELECT t1.varid as col1,
t1.var1 as col2,
t1.var2,
t1.vardata,
t2.varid,
t2.var1,
t2,
.var2
FROM table1 t1, table2 t2
WHERE t1.varid = t2.varid
AND t1.vardata BETWEEN TO_DATE ('20170807', 'YYYYMMDD')
AND TO_DATE ('20170808', 'YYYYMMDD')
--- Give date ranges.
OR t1.vardata BETWEEN TO_DATE ('20170907', 'YYYYMMDD')
AND TO_DATE ('20171008', 'YYYYMMDD')
OR ....
OR ....
