I am upgrading an application from 9i to 11g and I've been told that the connect by prior sql is broken. While I am waiting for the example and the error message, is 11g pickier about looping than 9i was? some documentation on 10 or 11 changes to hierarchical queries?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOn database A we have full backups (not incrementals) every morning at 3:00 AM including archive logs. When I query rman (list backup) I see the full at 3 AM (in two backup pieces, each in its own backup set) as well as the backup piece containing archive logs through 9:00 AM.
Due to a data issue at around 10AM, I attempted to do an incomplete recovery to 8:00 AM (data loss is not a concern) - once this was complete I opened the database with resetlogs.
I subsequently discovered that the data issue had occurred closer to 6:00 AM and I am now trying to restore to 5:00 AM. This is failing with the 'UNTIL TIME IS BEFORE RESETLOGS' error. I read up on incarnations, but my previous incarnation is from November, and when I reset the database to this incarnation and attempt a restore I get datafile 1 (2,3) is not available for restore.
how do I basically just restore the full 3:00 AM backup and apply the archive logs through 5:00 AM? Do I need to do a recover until cancel or something? And should I reset the incarnation?
Using a cursor and loop method records are inserted into the header and line tables. How do I code the IF statement prior to the INSert statement such that Insert if record does not exist else Update the record. If the record for insert fails in the line, the same record should be deleted from the header table as well and transaction should rollback. The Ora version used is 11.2.0.2.

I'm trying to build a dynamic sql inside an Oracle procedure, and return it as a SYS_REFCURSOR to ADO.NET using ODP.NET in Oracle 11R2. Below is my table:

how to write a function that returns top value if not exists then next top for combination of customer_id and hierarchy.For instance :
If I've got table
customer_id ,hierarchy, function_code

123 |2 |67
123 |3 |5B
678 |10 |S2
678 |11 |Z2
345 |2 |11
For the customer ID 123 I want to return Z1, for customer 678 I want to return S2 and for customer ID 345 I want 11
Problem is that I'm new to the concept of looping. I know how to write a function that accepts customer_id as a value write a cursor and then check IF hierarchy = 1 the return FUNCTION_CODE IF hierarchy - 2 THEN ...
but I need something more universal as some of the customers may have hierarchy function 1 and that would be the top one for him but others might have function of hierarchy 10 as top and checking all of the possibilities using if would be just stupid. So how to write something universal ? And of course if function did not find any customer_id then return null.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to query an array where we will have mathnames that have the follow format: variablemathname[00000]
have been digging around for a few days to try and simplify my existing query. As of right now i'm hacking it together to bring back the bracketed array value by using INSTR and SUBSTR. This works and gets me the correct results but I want to clean the code up by using regexp_SUBSTR.
In my reading up on regular expression I've tried to create my pattern by using [.] which I believe to be [any character]. I want it to start at the beginning of the string so I've used [^ and I only want the one occurrence so I've ended my expression with ]
I tried using the escape before my pattern as I know that [ is a metacharacter but I receive the same results.i'm trying to use to get the expression correct.
SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR('variablemathname[00000]', '[.],[^,],') RESULT

My expectation is it will bring back the following [00000] but the way it is written now is bringing back nothing.

I've just started with the Oracle SQL and come from a heavy MS SQL background and I understand that here are some natural differences in the syntax but I'm stumped as to why the following sql represents a problem:
update MASTERMICODES t1
set t1.TEMPTA = ( select t2.TAFCODE
from TA_FEATURES t2
where t2.FCODE = t1.FCODE
)
It returns Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row
01427. 00000 - "single-row subquery returns more than one row"
*Cause:
*Action:
I want it to return more than one row...in fact I want it to make on all rows that have the same fcode between tables.
I understand what the message "subquery returning multiple rows" means but I have a case where I'm not 100% sure why it's happening to my update query (which in turn probably means I don't fully understand what's going on behind the scenes)
Here is my query:
Update A set (A.id, A.alt_name, A.min_rank)=
(SELECT B.id,
B.fullname,
MIN(B.nm_rankval)
FROM B,
A
WHERE A.id = B.id
AND A.name <> B.fullname
AND B.nametyp = 'ON'
GROUP BY B.id,
B.fullname)
;
The subquery returns 6 rows but they are all unique in terms of the id, name, rankval, etc...I naturally thought that the update statement wouldn't have a problem with this since the subquery is returning rows that are not duplicates and match one for one between table A and B. I used the group by to ensure I return unique values from table B (which does have duplicate id values)
Each of those 6 rows from the subquery of table B can be matched 1-1 with table A...so what am I missing.
I work on a client-server application, where users need to be able to run rather complex queries.
We currently have most of the queries defined in views on the Oracle database server and the client application simply downloads the data (i.e. SELECT * from example_view). This is good for us as we can maintain these queries without releasing new versions of the client tool.
However we have some queries implemented by a colleague that have caused a lot of trouble (efficiency and quality) and these are stored client-side.
The issue I have is that these client side queries can return records in different units (i.e. in standard cubic metres, or barrels of oil etc), as the SQL is defined at runtime on the client, and I want to know the best way to replicate this with SQL stored server-side.
The client-side SQL has column definitions such as: SELECT oil_production * decode(&unit,'Nm3',.948,'Sm3',1,'MMBOE',6.0924,1) ... The &unit parameter is then replaced by the appropriate text (i.e. 'Sm3') before the query is sent to Oracle.
Is there anyway to pass variables to server-side SQL and get a recordset back? I don't think PL/SQL procedures can do this? and views can't contain bind variables.
I would like to create some PL/SQL procedures that return XML as CLOB parameters. I want to just do this (which works fine with simple tests):

'<test><something>some value</something></test>';

create or replace procedure p_xml_test_2(
p_xml out nocopy clob
) is
lv_xml clob;
begin

PROCEDURE tmp_proc (...,
out_param_resultset OUT g_cursor_type )

How do I return the table (referenced by a cursor) without creating objects?

The following code is indicative of what I'd like to do (as in not correct at all ). Would there be a more immediate way to accomplish this other than executing a SELECT statement after the UPDATE?

I am trying to use utl_tcp to connect, through TCP/IP, to a 3rd party program PC Miler. When I use telnet, PC Miler works without any issue. However, when I use utl_tcp, beginning from the second PC Miler API call, when I do a utl_tcp.get_line to get the result, the first line that return is always blank (with 1 white space). Here is my program.
---------------------------------------------------
DECLARE
c utl_tcp.connection;
ret_val PLS_INTEGER;
v_data VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
c := utl_tcp.open_connection('mars', 8145);
[code]....
Note that the 1st and 3rd API call is the same and should give me the same results. The 2nd API is supposed to give me 1 line back. At the end of each output, the server will end will the word "Ready". I use that to indicate when to exit the loop.
If I disconnect and reconnect after each API call, each output result will be correct because each API call will become the "1st" call since connection - like this program:
DECLARE
c utl_tcp.connection;
ret_val PLS_INTEGER;
v_data VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
c := utl_tcp.open_connection('mars', 8145);
[code]....
If there is something wrong with PC Miler, why would it work when I telnet through a Windows Command prompt? If it is not PC Miler and utl_tcp, what else can be wrong?
Consider the statement below:
Update employee e
set e.dept_id = (select d.dept_id
from dept d
[Code].....
The above is not the exact code which I am executing but an exact replica of the logic implied in my code.
Now, when i display the value of 'rows_updated' it returns a value greater than 0,i.e 3 but it should ideally return 0
since there are no records matching for the condition:
(select d.dept_id
from dept d
where e.dept_name = d.dept_name)
So, I executed the statement:
select count(*) from employee e
where emp_id = 1234
and exists
(select 1
from emp_his ee
where e.emp_id = ee.emp_id)
and the result was 3 which is the same value returned by %rowcount.
why this is happening as I am getting incorrect values in %rowcount for the number of rows updated.
