Client Tools :: How To Have Column Heading As Example Of Substr Function
Jan 23, 2013
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?
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
DECLARE var VARCHAR2(4000); BEGIN SELECT DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR(v_clob,4000,1) INTO var FROM test_clob; END; ** v_clob is a CLOB column in test_clob table.
I get the below error:
wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'SUBSTR'"SYS"."DBMS_LOB"."SUBSTR": invalid identifier...I have execute privileges to DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR function.
Can we have substr(date) as column name. I am trying to create a query where in I need to achieve something like this select s.xyz Today,s.abcd "6 Months ago" || to_char(add_months(sysdate,-6),'Mon rrrr') ||')'from sales_tab s.
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 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'm having a really hard time finding a solution to print the column headings on each page after the page break when printing. We're using a tool called PDF Creator to create the PDF's and they're opened in Adobe.The server is GlassFish Server 3.1.2. What other information can I provide?
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.

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.
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 );
I am having report region with different columns, in that one column heading needs to be start with lower case like "iST Status" but always it is showing "IST Status".
how should i populate table column heading in list items of forms? I've create lov to select the column, then i have 10 separate list items. once i select the table from lov then list item should get populated with selected table column.
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.
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.
# Host name is vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com # SID is sting2 # SERVICE_NAME is sting2.na.sas.com
PROBLEM using SID errors ==> jdbc:oracle:thin:@vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com:1521/sting2 THIS WORKS using SERVICE_NAME ==> jdbc:oracle:thin:@vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com:1521/sting2.na.sas.com
I am using SQuirreL Client version 3.4.0
# Here is the tnsnames.ora entry on the server. STING2 = (DESCRIPTION =

# In this documentation it says, "On new syntax SERVICE may be a oracle service name or a SID."You can find this on the orafax wiki under JDBC#Thin_driver.

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.
