select a.SETTINGVALUE db_owner
from ABC a, DEF b
where a.application_id = b.application_id
I want to confirm after executing this .sql that this variables v_number and db_owner should not have NULL value. I did searched a lot for SQL*PLUS commands. Only way i can check this is by writing anonymous PL/SQL block but i dont want to go for that option. How to restrict input of NULL values ?
I have main query..And i written a Query for Issued Quantity. The query is retrieving exact data. And when i add the Query in main query the data is coming with extra null values.
for ex. Query for Issued Qty fetch 16 records. and i run the main query it fetch 20 records...there r 4 records which issued Qty is null. How can i restrict that records.
i have a stored procedure whose input parameter is a varchar2 datatype.i created this procedure for an interface and tibco would be calling my procedure by passing input parameters.my problem is when there is a input string with & (ambersand) then its not working.
even i tried to pass the parameter with & in TOAD, it asks me to enter value for string.look at the sample code below which i wrote for testing purpose:
procedure is:
create or replace procedure testproc(p_in in varchar2) is begin null; end;
i pass parameter as given below:
begin testproc('abc & def'); end;
if i run above script, it asks me to input some string value as it sees & in the string. attached is the image that shows up in TOAD. if i run below script it works. but i dont know how many &'s will be there in the input parameter. hence i cant do. and also TIBCO cant modify the input paramter while calling the procedure.
I am trying to ultimately as the title says separate a user input list into one column of entries. I am doing this through Cognos not a normal SQL editor which is what makes this a little harder to do. So far I have gotten that in general I can use the
SELECT 'First Entry' Asset FROM Dual Union SELECT 'Second Entry' Asset FROM Dual Union SELECT 'Third Entry' Asset FROM Dual
and this will give me 3 entries of data in one column. More can be added as long as the last statement doesn't have the union on it. So, the next step it would seem is to have a for loop combined with an if then or case statement that would find the number of entries and loop until we reach the number of entries and give me either SELECT 'First Entry' Asset FROM Dual Union or SELECT 'First Entry' Asset FROM Dual if we are on the last entry. I don't know the lingo to do this though. I have tried to get this to work with a simple test like cat, dog, horse, cow, pig, etc but it's frustrating that I can't get it to work. I can do all the individual steps I just can't seem to get it to work together. I have all the functions I need, I just need to the syntext to do a for loop along with an if then or case statement where the outcome is a valid select statement.
1) If I don't specify the "INDEX BY" clause, it is indexed by PLS_INTEGER by default, right?
2) Consider this package specification
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE Testxyz AS TYPE tab_Numbers IS TABLE OF PLS_INTEGER; PROCEDURE TestNumber(ptab_Numbers IN tab_Numbers := NULL);
END Testxyz;So I created a table (I hope it is defaultly indexed by pls_integer data type) and I am passing it as a parameter to a procedure. Because I want this parameter to be optional I am assigning null into it.
Now I change the definition of the table to:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE Testxyz AS TYPE tab_Numbers IS TABLE OF PLS_INTEGER INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER; PROCEDURE TestNumber(ptab_Numbers IN tab_Numbers := NULL); [code]....
3) Because I need this parameter to be optional, I use the first declaration:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE Testxyz AS TYPE tab_Numbers IS TABLE OF PLS_INTEGER; PROCEDURE TestNumber(ptab_Numbers IN tab_Numbers := NULL); END Testxyz;
Now I create an anonymous block and want to assign something into the table
DECLARE vtab_Numbers TESTXYZ.tab_Numbers; BEGIN vtab_Numbers(1) := 5; END; /When trying to run this, I got: 06531. 00000 - "Reference to uninitialized collection"
Is it possible to have input parameter of PL/SQL table type and have defaultly null assigned to it?
I want to add a new validation to restrict concurrent user and/or session from a client. (we have almost 60 client firms using the software to enter daily trasnactions). All users from all clients are connecting to the database using a common functional ID.
What I did was: 1) Add a column 'user_logged_in' in the master table for client and update it as Y when user from that client logged on to the system, 2) Insert the application logon details (we can figure out the client details from this) into a global temp table, 3) Create a logoff trigger to update the 'user_logged_in'flag in client master table by using values from global temp table when session logged off and 4) Restrict the users from same client if the flag is 'Y'
But the problem in this case is logoff trigger will not be executed in case if the session got killed or terminated abnormally.
REQUEST ---------------------- request_id item_name unit_of_measure UOM_CODES_TL ("tl" means translation - this table has the same record 3 times, once for English, once for Spanish, and one for France) ---------------------- unit_of_measure description language [code]....
So what I'm trying to do with the outer join ((+)) is to get the request record, regardless of whether the r.unit_of_measure is null. That works as long as I don't include the underlined portion above. As soon as I do that it only returns results where r.unit_of_measure is not null. That all makes sense to me, but I'm wondering how I can restrict the values to English without requiring that a value exist in the request table.
As I am doing a outer join, if the resource is not available on a particular day the resource_id is coming as NULL as it is not available. Is there any way to populate this NULL resource_id with the original resource_id as the resource_id is same for all the result set.
I was asked if it was possible to restrict which users / or client IP's connect to my Oracle 11.2 database. I guess I could just shutdown the listener and have me and one other DBA connect to it via SSH / LOCALHOST but I was wondering if there was a more DBA specific way to restrict client connections to just two specific IP's over the Oracle listening port?
There is a requirement in my database that I want to restrict the user from directly running queries on database from third party tools such as pl/sql developer and toad.
There is a utility in SQL product_user_profile through which this can be done but it is only restricted if you run the query through sql plus. If I want to restrict and (give suppose select,insert) to a user for directly running queries through PL/SQL.
1) A reverse engineering tool that I can point to an Oracle schema and get a "baseline" script to re-create that schema from scratch, with decently formatted DDL files (1 per object) neatly organized in a directory tree (by object type) and called in the correct order. Icing on the cake would be an option to pass the tool a list of tables containing static data and get DMLs to populate (insert) those tables as part of the script.
2) a diff tool that I can point to a pair of Oracle instances (source and target) containing a given schema and get a "delta" script to alter the target schema so that it becomes identical to the source schema. If data loss occurs on the target instance (i.e. drop a column) I would like to find a warning comment inserted in the script (e.g. "-- Attention: data migration DML needed here?"). Icing on the cake would be an option to pass the tool a list of tables containing static data and get DMLs to update (delete, update and insert) the data in the target tables to become identical to the contents in the source tables *without* deleting and re-inserting all rows (or dropping, recreating and repopulating the table).
3) I would like the above two tools (that, as you will have recognized, are basic to putting your database design under version control) to be open-source, with a command-line interface and a vibrant community backing them.
My need is to pass multiple values as single input parameter into pipelined function. For example - "2" and "3" are values of input parameter "t":
with data as ( select 1 as t from dual union all select 2 as t from dual union all select 3 as t from dual union all select 4 as t from dual union all select 5 as t from dual ) select * from data where t in (2,3)
The problem is that this connection errors when I try to connect using my SQuirreL client. My developers want to connecting using the SID or the SERVICE_NAME and by using the "New Method" syntax, not the "Old Method" syntax. According to the documentation the "New Method" syntax works with the SERVICE_NAME or the SID. The "Old Method" only works with the SID.

I have 2 tables, AFF_TEMP and COUNTY AFF_TEMP has the following columns FNAME, LNAME, EMAIL and COUNTY COUNTY has 2 columns COUNTY_ID and CNAME
Both tables have the following test data AFF_TEMP Joe, Bloggs, joe@gmail.com, '' Ann, Bloggs, anne@gmail.com,Donegal
and COUNTY column in AFF_TEMP can contain a NULL value
County table has the following Test data, 1, Dublin 2, Donegal 3, Tipperary, 4, Galway
I am trying to select the following from both tables FNAME, LNAME, EMAIL, COUNTY_ID.Tried the following queries select a.FNAME, a.LNAME,a.EMAIL, C.COUNTY_ID FROM temp_aff A LEFT OUTER JOIN COUNTY C ON A.COUNTY=C.CNAME OR (A.COUNTY IS NULL) select a.FNAME, a.LNAME,a.EMAIL, C.COUNTY_ID FROM temp_aff A, COUNTY C WHERE C.CNAME IN (SELECT UPPER(A.COUNTY) FROM TEMP_AFF A)
We are working on a migration project and we need to move 75 million rows from source system to target system.
Total number of columns in source system - 90 cols.
Out of the 90 columns 10 cols are system fields and rest 80 are properties for each record.
We are required to migrate all system cols and some required properties. In total we will migrate around 25 columns[10+15] for each record.
Before actaul migration , we need to do a data cleansing activity and hence we move the data to a staging table.
To create the staging table, we considered the below appraoches.
1. Create the staging table with around 30 coloumns so as to fit the data from source system[map the columns based on datatype]
2.Create the staging table with actual columns[90 columns] and import only the required properties. The rest all columns will remain NULL.
Do the data cleansing and move to target system.
My question here is, if we go with approach 2, We will not mix the data, as there will be a one-to-one mapping. But many columns will not have data and remain NULL. Will it affect the performance since we deal with 75 million rows.
I have new virtual UNIX machine and I installed oracle client on /usr/lib/oracle. Also I have a oracle database and I am able to connect to this database from my desktop sql developer.
So now I am trying to connect from new UNIX machine. Where I created tnsnames.ora file under /usr/lib/oracle/network/admin and before connecting did export the following
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist. Not sure what I missed here. using same tns file I am able to connect from sql developer on windows.
