Oracle 9i To 10g To Char Function?
Feb 11, 2009
Well the company i work for has just recently upgraded from Oracle 9i to 10g. We are having various problems with the migration, and with certain code breaking. My question regards this piece of code;
[code]
to_number(to_char('a_date','YYYY'))
[code]
There are various statements like the one above scattered throughout a query i am trying to fix. When run, the query returns an "invalid number ora-01722" error, which i know is caused by the above code.
if this method of converting from date, to character was discontinued from 9i to 10g?it just seems strange as there are a lot of statements like the one above and they must have worked at some point, but now i cant even get one to work on its own.

oracle 11 g xe
1) I want to pass date in '12 Dec 2012'(CHARECTER) while calling SP and in side SP i have declared parameter as DATE so I think it should not create any problem in any condition whether it is passed from oracle client or any other front end?
2) I have date in (date type variable) , how to convert it into char but it should be in iso format (i want iso format , so that it should not create any problem in any condition).
3) How to convert (date in char- in iso or any good format) into (date type variable) (so that it should not create problem and this is why i wanted char date in iso format).
4) If there is any good format and function to convert (date to char) and (char to date)?

I've got a table with varchar records and I need to separate numerical value and convert into the number datatype.
create table tmp_mape
(remark varchar2(100) )
insert into tmp_mape values ('Dobitie zdarma 3,32EUR 0910105067 02/02')
insert into tmp_mape values ( 'Dobitie pravidelné 9,00EUR' )
I just need to get values 3.32 and 9 from that example into the new column.
The select below returns ORA-01722: invalid number
how to solve it?
select remark,
to_number( to_number(REGEXP_SUBSTR (remark, '[[:digit:]]+', 1) ) ||','|| to_number(substr(REGEXP_SUBSTR (remark, ',[^EUR]+', 1) ,2) ) )
from tmp_mape

I want to get the last month of my table “a” (Which is in number format) and after that I want to change it to a date format and insert into my table “b”.
I have already done the max month query:
SELECT MAX(MONTH_ID) FROM Table_a;
SELECT DISTINCT MONTH_ID ---This data is the one that I would like to change format "mon-yyyy"
FROM Table_a
WHERE MONTH_ID = (SELECT MAX(MONTH_ID) FROM Table_a);
I am getting trouble with the to_char function, I have been reviewing how it works and how to handle it.

From a list of values from a number column, I need to verify is there any values not satisfying number(3).
Ex- I have a column col1 where we have following values
'qwq'
'12.3'
'1'
'15'
Can I write a query to check the value not satisfying number(3) datatype.Eg the query should return
'qwq'
'12.3'
as the above two will not fit in to number(3) datatype columns

I tried google and most of bind example using number instead of character, ?
I have the code as below:
variable oldId varchar2(5)
exec :oldId :='&1'
variable newId varchar2(5)
exec :newId :='&2'
[Code]...
Since in TAB1, ID is defined as varchar2(5), and I have defined both oldId and newId as varchar2(5) in my code, I wonder why it doesn't work.
It returned this error:
DECLARE
*
ERROR at line 1: ORA-01722: invalid number ORA-06512: at line xx
After supply the value for oldId(val2) and newId(val1)
SQL > @thisScript val1 val2
I use dbms_output.put_line to print the command executed, it seems it is doing
UPDATE TABLE1 SET ID = val1 WHERE ID = val2
without the single quote ('val1'), ('val2'). But if I put in single quotes, the output statement
UPDATE TABLE1 SET ID = ':newId' WHERE ID = ':oldId'
The same bind logic works in SQL prompt
SQL > variable oldId varchar2(5);
SQL > variable newId varchar2(5);
SQL > exec :oldId :='val2'
SQL > exec :newId :='val1'
SQL > UPDATE TABLE1 SET ID = :newId WHERE ID = :oldId;
1 row updated.
I am wondering what should I do then? With or without single quotes?

With a very large database (VLDB) for a data warehouse (DW) using primarily a STAR based schema in an environment in which time (both human and CPU) is orders of magnitude more valuable than storage capacity, is there any signficant difference in query performance when tables have all fixed length (CHAR) columns compared to tables with variable length (VARCHAR2) columns?
I realize this is one of those "in general" questions so considering "a given VLDB DW environment" with all other things being equal, what, if any, is the time based performance difference between a database of tables with all fixed sized columns versus one of tables with variable length columns ?

I want to find the hours and minutes between two char field data type.Example I have two char columns one is "start_time" and another one is "end_time".The start time and end time is the machine reading of CNC MACHINE in manufacturing.I want to develope the package to capture the actual machine running time.But I have the start and end time reading in character field.The machine reading format is hour:minutes:seconds only.It will looks like 1234:45:23(the machine ran 1234 hours and 45 minutes and 23 seconds).See the below table to understand my requirements.
start_time end_time result in hours & minutes
---------- -------- -------------------------
345 347 2 hrs
347 350 3 hrs
350 357.20 7 hrs and 20 minutes
If I subtract end_time - start_time I will get the result in char type only not in hours and minutes format.Another example
start_time end_time result in hours & minutes
---------- -------- -------------------------
357.21 360.40 3.19(If subtract end_time - start_time)

I have a table something as below
Things_t
Things Characteristic Char Value
Item 1 Colour Red
Item 1 Packaging
Item 2 Shape Square
Item 2 Brand Spunk
Now i want to reterive an item with none of its char values as Null. Using the query “ select distinct things from things_t where char value is Null ” will fetch the item 1 also together with item 2. i want to fetch a record from thing for which none of the char values are Null such as Item 2.

My table looks like this ->
Dp_value
124325
2434
3536
3536
Code is ->
(case when CL.DECIMALPLACES = 0 and CL.FIELDTYPE = 'D' and cl.DATATYPE = 'N'
then trim(dp."Value")*1000
else dp."Value" end) as dp_value,
What I am trying to do ->
From another table cl I want to say if decimal place is 0, fieldtype is decimal (D/C) and datatype is number (N/T)then multiply the number with 1000.
If not then leave it as it is.
When I run my code I get the error:
ORA-00932 : inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got CHAR
for else dp."Value" end)
