Sometimes, I have had the necessity to find all the records that form part of a PeopleSoft

component. I had to pass these records into other SQL queries to get certain information. For
components, with multiple pages and records chances are that I would overlook upon one or two
records. Hence, I wrote this SQL query to fetch all the records associated with a component.

SELECT R.RECNAME AS RECORD_NAME,

( CASE
WHEN R.RECTYPE = 0 THEN 'Table'
WHEN R.RECTYPE = 1 THEN 'View'
WHEN R.RECTYPE = 2 THEN 'Derived'
WHEN R.RECTYPE = 3 THEN 'Sub Record'
WHEN R.RECTYPE = 5 THEN 'Dynamic View'
WHEN R.RECTYPE = 6 THEN 'Query View'
WHEN R.RECTYPE = 7 THEN 'Temporary Table'
ELSE 'Unknown'
END ) AS RECORD_TYPE
FROM PSRECDEFN R
WHERE R.RECNAME IN (SELECT DISTINCT RECNAME
FROM PSPNLFIELD
WHERE PNLNAME IN (SELECT DISTINCT B.PNLNAME
FROM PSPNLGROUP A,
PSPNLFIELD B
WHERE ( A.PNLNAME = B.PNLNAME
OR A.PNLNAME = B.SUBPNLNA
ME )
AND A.PNLGRPNAME=:1 --Comp Name
AND RECNAME <> ' ')
UNION
SELECT DISTINCT RECNAME
FROM PSPNLFIELD
WHERE PNLNAME IN (SELECT DISTINCT B.SUBPNLNAME
FROM PSPNLGROUP A,
PSPNLFIELD B
WHERE ( A.PNLNAME = B.PNLNAME
OR A.PNLNAME = B.SUBPNLNA
ME )
AND A.PNLGRPNAME=:1--Comp Name))
AND R.RECNAME <> ' '
ORDER BY R.RECTYPE ;

Another SQL query is below which gives the component name, market, record name with its
record type and description:
SELECT DISTINCT p.pnlgrpname,
cp.market,
cp.descr,
pgf.recname,
r.recdescr,
r.rectype FROM pspnlgrpdefn cp,
pspnlgroup cpg,
pspnldefn pg,
pspnlfield pgf,
psrecdefn r
WHERE cp.pnlgrpname = :1 -- Comp Name AND cp.market = 'GBL'
AND cp.pnlgrpname = cpg.pnlgrpname
AND cp.market = cp.market
AND pg.pnlname = cpg.pnlname
AND pgf.pnlname = pg.pnlname
AND pgf.recname = r.recname;
