i'v a problem regarding dual table,i logged to oracle as sys as sysdba and i add a column to dual table and then want to delete that added column but oracle gives "ORA-12988: cannot drop column from table owned by SYS"
i'm not able to drop any user oracle gives "ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1" "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges"
another error:: SP2-0575: Use of Oracle SQL feature not in SQL92 Entry Level oracle gives error when i want to switch user all problems starts when i add that column to dual table
What I'm trying to do is make it so that it returns 'MATCH' when I pass a date that matches a date every two weeks starting Jan 01. Like Jan 01, Jan 15, Jan 29, Feb 12, etc. would return as MATCH Jan 02, Jan 03, etc. would return as NO_MATCH
The part in bold is what I'm having trouble figuring out.
select nvl( (select 'MATCH' from dual where 'date' = '2 week intervals starting Jan 01' ), 'NO_MATCH') from dual

I would like to SELECT these 3 hardcoded titles from DUAL, and have a blank line under each, on the output in this order from the SQL. But the result does not end up that way

Desired Output: #ENCODING WINDOWS-1252 Language Section EN-US Catalog Section Title Date Source
I have ORACLE XE 11g installed on two machines and have been trying my luck to get my local db to query/insert/update a table from the remote db.
I have created the public database link and querying the dba_db_links shows that the links is successfully created (see the bottom of the post). I have also created synonyms for my remote table and queries like select name from jforum_forums succeed, with jforum_forums being a public synonym referring to user.jforum_forums@corona.magic.ubc.ca.
However when I try to insert a row into the remote table, there is a query to the remote DUAL to fetch the last generated ID for a given table similar to the following: SELECT jforum_forums_seq.currval FROM DUAL. Statements of such fail and they either throw an ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found or ORA-01729: database link name expected. I tried including the database link with the name of the table making it like SELECT jforum_forums_seq.currval FROM DUAL@corona.magic.ubc.ca but that didn't work either.
PS, I should mention that global_names are set to true in both databases and that my database link has the same name as the global_name of the remote database.

We are trying to execute a statement SELECT CURRENT_DATE FROM DUAL on Timesten 11.2.2 . It throws error unknown referenced column error. Command> select current_date from dual; 2211:
Referenced column CURRENT_DATE not foundThe command failed. But the following doc shows the support.
TimesTen PL/SQL Support: Reference Summary CURRENT_DATE function
Returns the current date in the session time zone. YIn TimesTen this returns the current date in UTC (universal time). TimesTen does not support local time zones.
(1) how can i fill some value in a table column based on some existing column value automatically without user intervention. my actual problem is i have 'expiry date' column and 'status'. the 'status' column should get filled automatically based on the current system date. ex: if expiry date is '25-Apr-2011' and current date is '14-May-2011', then status should be filled as 'EXPIRED'
(2)hOw can i build 'select' query in a report (report 6i) so that it will show me list of items 'EXPIRED' or 'NOT EXPIRED' or both expired and not expired separately in a single report based on user choice. 'EXPIRED' & 'NOT EXPIRED' can be taken from the above question no. 1.
We have forms 11gr2 on win xp 32bit , weblogic linux server 64bit. We are converting 6i to 11g. Our system has many forms that span on 2 monitors. 1280x768 monitors, so some forms are 2560x768.
When alerts/messages pop up on the screen , they are positioned in the middle of both screens (guessing Oracle by default calculates width =2560/2, height =768/2).
Possible options:
1- is there a way to tell oracle to open alerts/messages a X Y coordinates? Maybe a config file on the server? Already file a Sr with Oracle tech support. 2- tried creating a form to do our messages. but this is flawed since when you call the new form to display the message, then the focus on current form is lost. when the message form is closed (then trigger when_window_activate fires)...this would be hell to try and control all our messages (we may have 20-30 on each big form. We have a total of 118 forms. Lots of messages with Y/N/Cancel options. 3- Maybe create a place holder for messages on all forms (bottom of screen)...thats the best idea we have so far. 4- Is there a way to do something with a java beans? We already have some knowledge with beans since we use image beans and pdf beans.
if a table contains two columns and both are part of the primary key of that table (Kind of obvoius).
should i opt for a index organized tbale in this case ?Or should i opt for another running sequential colum which would serve as a primary key of this table and define the actual two columns of the system as unique keys.
there is a drawback if a most of the tables of a database contain composite primary keys?
I am trying to join column names from a table with data from a different table. I think i should be able to pass the parameter to a 'select list' in a query. Look at my sample data below. And the data in sales table can grow till 15 rows and similarly corresponding columns in saleshist.
I have two table country and state.Columns are given below
SQL> DESC Country
Name Null? Type ----------------- -------- -------------- PRIMARY_KEY NOT NULL NUMBER DISPLAY_ORDER NOT NULL NUMBER NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(50) TREE_POSITION NOT NULL VARCHAR2(250) PARENT_ID NUMBER
SQL> desc state Name Null? Type ----------------- -------- ------------------------- PRIMARY_KEY NOT NULL NUMBER DISPLAY_ORDER NOT NULL NUMBER NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(50 CHAR) VALUE NOT NULL VARCHAR2(50 CHAR) TREE_POSITION NOT NULL VARCHAR2(250 CHAR) PARENT_ID NUMBER
Now I have to insert the values in the state table taking from the country table.
EXAMPLE :
INSERT INTO STATE (PRIMARY_KEY, DISPLAY_ORDER, NAME, VALUE, PARENT_ID, TREE_POSITION) VALUES (251, 1, 'Alaska', 'AK', 233, 'STAT_USUS_AKAK');
but here the tree position is static it can be anything at the client side so I want to make it dynamic. So to make dynamic what I have used is mentioned below:
INSERT INTO STATE (PRIMARY_KEY,DISPLAY_ORDER,NAME, VALUE, PARENT_ID, TREE_POSITION) VALUES
[code].....
Now I want that Quote: select tree_position from L_STATE_ITEM where name ='United States')||'_ALAL' which i have used in the state table to put value in the tree_position, I want to make the other half part after the concatenation operator "_ALAL" also dynamic.
So I was just wondering If I can pic that value from the "VALUE COLUMN" of the same table.
How can I add new column at the specified location in a oracle table? I am having a flat file from which data is inserted to the table..But initially I don't need that column so I m not having this column in the table but if further i need that column at the particular location then how can I do this..?
I have some tables. TABLE1 contains columns called query_id and a column called List_name TABLE2 holds a list of data and the TABLE_NAME = value in TABLE1 held under LIST_NAME TABLE3 contains column with Query_ID and other info.
Is it possible to grab the entry in TABLE1 under LIST_NAME as a TABLE_NAME in a data source?
I have one table which has 90 columns all has varchar2 datatype except one Column[primary key (Number)]. In this Table we have 1000 records, I want to fetch those records from Table which has value in all 90 columns means there is no null value in any column.
I know simple method Like this :-
column_name1 IS NOT NULL AND Column_name2 IS NOT NULL.
Like this we can write IS NOT NULL condition for all column.Is there any other way to write this Query because it makes Query very longer and it is very tedious job to write this Condition for all Columns.
