Client Tools :: Number Data Type Column Does Not Display As Entered?
Jun 28, 2010
Now i have a problem which i am facing for the first time. The problem is:
I have created a table test1 with two column of number data type and the column witdth is 25. Then enter the data but when i select the recrod it does not display the column data as it was entered.
SQL> create table test1
2 (
3 startno number(25),
4 endno number(25)
5 );
03-AUG-10> set pages 0 03-AUG-10> set heading on 03-AUG-10> select count(*) numberofrows 2 from iceberg_mig_acnts_stage2 s2, tvp109workorder t109 3 where s2.no_account = t109.no_account
I have extracted data from table and write into one text via sqlplus utility in shell scripts. i got correct output. i am having two issues on the output file
1) Outfile file size is huge high compare then table segment data.
2) last column having extra space.
The output column is clob datatype. so i have added set long 50000 and set longchunksize 50000 parameter. after adding these only i got above issues. without two options, i am not getting this isssue but lines are wrapped.
#Set the scripts Path SCRIPTS_PATH="/usr/local/ccms/gpa/svr/scripts" echo $SCRIPTS_PATH
Is it possible to ignore the sql command prompt and the command entered while spooling. I tried the to set echo off,term off and some more options but it did not work.
Example:
SQL> spool c: est.log SQL> Prompt "This is a test" "This is a test" SQL> spool off;
The spool file has the following
SQL> Prompt "This is a test" "This is a test" SQL> spool off;
Is it possible to set some options so that the spool file only contains output.
I have a column named account_detail of data type Varchar2(70). I want to enforce a law such that all data being entered in this column is entered as
22 22 22 22
which means there is a space after every two digits. How do I achieve this through oracle forms, is there a way in the property pallette through which I can set it's property to reflect this change or should I do this with key-next-item.
having trouble displaying stuff on screen. It compiles the program successfully but just doesnt show any output Try using this (SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 4000) does nothing though. here my code
DECLARE /*This program coverts a date from one fomat eg 1/31/10 into another format eg January 31,2010 */ /*declaring variables assign a date that is in one format*/ EXAMPLE_DATE DATE := TO_DATE(' 1/31/06',' MM/DD/YY' ); /*finding the position of where the forward slash are*/ position_finder NUMBER := INSTR(EXAMPLE_DATE,'/');
I am using SQL Plus 10g and when I execute a query my column widths are quite narrow, hence the titles and data are displayed as shown below. How can I change the settings so they are displayed side by side and the whole coulmn titles are visible?
I m currently written a sqlplus query and executing as below
sqlplus -s << ! set head off pages off trimspool on termout off spool sysdate.txt select sysdate from dual; spool off !
With this query the sysdate is getting written in the sysdate.txt but it is also getting printed in the screen/terminal., which I don't need to. Is their any options available for that.
Note: I came to know that "Termout off" will work only when we execute the query from a file and as a result I can still see the sysdate getting displayed in the screen.
I am trying to execute the procedure from toad, where the type is like an object.How can I do that?
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE list_t AS TABLE OF list_objtype; CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE list_objtype AS OBJECT ( Emp_ID NUMBER(5), EMp_Name VARCHAR2(32 BYTE) );
In the following procedure I am calling list_t, but how would i pass the values to it?
PROCEDURE modify_settings ( p_List in list_t, p_info out varchar2) DECLARE p_List TABLE;
ORA-31180: DOM Type mismatch in invalid PL/SQL DOM handle
I am getting this error while debugging one of the package in PL/SQL developer or in TOAD. Is there any setting which we need to perform at the database level to debug the packages which have the code related to XML DOM. I am asking as the same code works exactly fine at one of the test database and it gives the above error on the other database.
I have a table named invoice_info(INV_NUMBER number,BILL_TO_NAME char(55),SHIP_TO_NAME char(55)) which is having chines characters in the BILL_TO_NAME & SHIP_TO_NAME fields.
If i am displaying this tables data on my sql developer it's showing data like some junk chars like ?????????¨¬???? for the fields BILL_TO_NAME & SHIP_TO_NAME .
How can i display them as chines chars on sql developer.
i have changed date's format and the calendar type in sqlplus through the following command so the date's format and the calender type both changed successfully and work, but in oracle form the they haven't changed.
alter session set nls_calendar='persian';
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT='YYYY/MM/DD';
ALTER SYSTEM SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT='YYYY/MM/DD' SCOPE=SPFILE;
Note: i know session would change the format temporally but i want to change it permanently so i tried alter_system but still no result
Enviroment is Embarcadero RAD Studio XE. Work with DataSnap WebBroker Application. Its Server methods ancestor is TDSServerModule.
I've got SQLConnection (dbx), SQLDataSet, DataSetProvider on server side and SQLConnection, DSProviderConnection, ClientDataSet plus DataSource, DBGrid, DBNavigator on client side. SQLConnection on server side uses Oracle driver - dbxora.dll. DB: Oracle 11g. SQLConnection on client side uses Datasnap driver. SQLDataSet has DbxCommandType set to Dbx.SQL, CommandText: "Select * from Table1". All fields except indexed one have their pfInWhere set to false. updateMode of DataSetProvaider is set to upWhereKeyOnly.
All is well up to point where ApplayUpdates is fired. It does nothing. HandleReconcileError shows ORA-01722: invalid number.
Oracle explains: ORA-01722:invalid number
Cause: The attempted conversion of a character string to a number failed because the character string was not a valid numeric literal. Only numeric fields or character fields containing numeric data may be used in arithmetic functions or expressions. Only numeric fields may be added to or subtracted from dates.
Action: Check the character strings in the function or expression. Check that they contain only numbers, a sign, a decimal point, and the character "E" or "e" and retry the operation. But all updated fields are of character strings type. There is no need for conversion. I suppose the automatically created SQL has some extra checking. But I cannot see those SQLs. I guess must be a way of controlling those SQLs thru params, but don't know which. May be comparison old value - new value of index column is depending on this conversion?
Recently I am facing a problem while working with Oracle reports 2.5.
My requirement is: there is a report in which there are 5 columns right now. Now what i want is, whenever a condition will satisfy , a new column should be also display in that report otherwise it must be stay as it is.
Previously : a b c d Now if a=1 : a b z c d else a b c d where a,b,c,d,z are columns.
When I click on a column header, e.g order by, does the query execute again with "order by" clause or use the same execution plan and give me fast result?
I am working on an application that pulls data from an Oracle view into Microsoft Excel (Oracle 11g, MS Excel 2003). It is an automated pivot table created through vba. The problem I'm having is that the decimal points from number columns are being truncated - they don't make it to the pivot table.
When I use the pivot table wizard and set the external data source using a SQL string (select * from view), the precision is not lost. When I create the pivot table automatically in vba, the precision is lost. The pivot table settings, regardless of how the data is brought in, shows the format of the number column as general. This tells me that Excel is trying to figure out what the data type is, and can't (not smart enough).
When looking at the description of the view, the data type is NUMBER (no precision). The table that it is pulling from has the precision set (NUMBER(11,3)). I have tried using the following, but it doesn't work:
select to_number(field_name, '99999999.999') field_name from view
I would like to have a column heading as follows in double inverted comma. but sqlplus environment returns column heading length equal to output value.
SQL> select substr('The independence day', 5,12) "Example of substr function" 2 from dual;
Example of s ------------ independence
I know that default column heading length is 30 character long.
but my column heading is less than 30 character long (which is 26)
How can i have column heading as Example of substr function?
I need to split a column into multiple columns. The data in my column is separated by a Comma (,). But the data is dynamic and I could have any number of data separated by (,).
Quote:FOR Ex: If COL1 contains CRITERIA_ITEM_TYPE_ID, CRITERIA_ITEM_TYPE, DESCRIPTION, ITEM_DATA_TYPE
RESULT: should be 4 columns contains the values CRITERIA_ITEM_TYPE_ID and CRITERIA_ITEM_TYPE and DESCRIPTION and ITEM_DATA_TYPE
Is COL1 contains CRITERIA_ITEM_TYPE_ID, CRITERIA_ITEM_TYPE, DESCRIPTION
RESULT: should be 3 columns contains the values CRITERIA_ITEM_TYPE_ID and CRITERIA_ITEM_TYPE and DESCRIPTION
I would like to spool a clob column to a flag file, however some of the clob are greater than 32k, and I have to have the same record in a single line in the file. Is there any way to achieve this through spooling?
set heading off set feedback off set term off set long 1000000 set longchunksize 500000 set line 32767 set trimspool on set pagesize 50000 spool file.txt @--this is my select statement. spool off exit
I have to create a table which should store data at Week level. The table have the following columns
Product id, Loc id, Business group id, FISCAL WEEK , Revenue,
Fiscal week column will have data as '2011-W01', '2011-W47' etc.
What should be the data type for fiscal week column. Based on this table i have to create a calculated column which should fetch trailing 12 weeks average for each row.
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.
