But my query gives multiple columns for a city matching with many states. But I want only the state and city where the company exists. The company info does not exist in any table in dbase. Just by matching the city and state i have to select the compnany info. Pls advice.

Pradeep,

I think you’re looking for something like this:

http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_temporary_tables_sql.htm

Burleson describes it here as a technique for improving performance but from what I gather you want to do the same thing.

Hope this helps, and sorry for the slow response.

Dharmendra, I think this is what you're looking for. BE CAREFUL and never try this on your production system until you have tried it on a test system. The directions below should be considered just a broad guideline and do not cover moving files to another location. If you need to rename a database the best thing to do is to run the sql command alter database backup controlfile to trace; and grab the resulting sql script from the udump directory. Grab the SQL from the trace file for the RESETLOGS case and change the line that says CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "OLDNAME" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG to read CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "NEWNAME" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG Now shut down the database and run your SQL script to startup and rename the database. Finally run the following SQL to change the global name of the database. ALTER DATABASE RENAME GLOBAL_NAME TO NEWNAME; Don't forget to update your TNSNames, listener.ora, oratab and any other configuration files on your system. Hope this helps!
