I have 2 tables.The column in table A is number and Column in table B is a varchar2 datatype.I have to use the Column of table B as a filter to column of Table A.Below is the example.
create table A(Col1 number); Inert into A values(1); Inert into A values(2); Inert into A values(3); Inert into A values(4);
Create table B(Col1 Varchar2(100)); Insert into b value ('1,2,3');
Select * from A where col1 in (select col1 from b) Error: Invalid Number
Is there a way to convert the varchar to number.The varchar field have multiple characters (numbers) seperated by commas.
When I try to convert numeric values � number(19) p.s 111111111111111111, the to_char function returns �1111111111111110000� because the to_char functions doesn�t support precision bigger than 15.
I have table customer which contains a column CUSTOMER_FIRST_NAME
CUSTOMER_FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(50)
What will be sql statement to add a constraint on the CUSTOMER_FIRST_NAME column of the CUSTOMERS table so that the value inserted in the column does not have numbers ?
I need to create a composite unique index on varchar2, number and CLOB column. I haven't used such index before that have the CLOB column indexing. I found the below link related to CLOB indexing...
[URL]......
Links from where I can get related info. Also I would like to know the impact of such index on performance. I have to store and process around 50 million records in such a way, will it be beneficial to use this index?
I am facing issue related to Number data while it is being converted to Varchar2, it is automatically getting rounded off after 32 decimal place.My database version is "Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production".
"First" string got rounded off to 97 (last 2 digits) instead of 9679 but for "Second" record it holds the actual value.Only thing which I could figure out while the number is getting type casted to String, it is getting rounded off to 32 decimal place.throw off some light on it and provide the solution how the original record can be kept intact without rounding off.

[Code]....
As per my knowledge, RANGE is better suited for DATE or NUMBER. and INTERVAL partition is possible on DATE or NUMBEr . Column PROFILEIts is of VARCHAR2 datatype. I know still I can partition as Oracle internally convert varchar2 to number while inserting data. But INTERVAL is not possible. How to RANGE partition on PROFILE ? Column CREATED_ON :It is of NUMBER with decimal
INSERT INTO t_category m( m.service_id, m.customer_id) SELECT u.service_id, (SELECT p.add_data FROM t_add p WHERE p.service_id=u.service_id AND p.add_type='CUSTOMER_ID') FROM t_iservice u
I got this error: ORA-01722: invalid number. The problem is m.customer_id has data type NUMBER, p.add_data is VARCHAR.
I have a problem when executing the statement below querying a specific ID# in view
select * from VW_MML_LTR_MSTR where LTR_ID = 26 order by CLNT_CDE ,LTR_GRP, ltr_purp_id, LTR_CDE
I checked the data type acquired by the view and the table involved and confirmed that it was of number type.Weird thing for me is that I changed the where statement as
where LTR_ID LIKE 26 where LTR_ID != 25
Is this on the database settings? What should be done here?
select ROUND( ( SUBSTR(' m1058,1672|1090,1672|1090,1716|1058,1716 x e', 2, instr(' m1058,1672|1090,1672|1090,1716|1058,1716 x e',',',1,1)- 2) + SUBSTR(' m1058,1672|1090,1672|1090,1716|1058,1716 x e', instr(' m1058,1672|1090,1672|1090,1716|1058,1716 x e','|',1,2)+1, instr(' m1058,1672|1090,1672|1090,1716|1058,1716 x e',',',1,3) - (instr(' m1058,1672|1090,1672|1090,1716|1058,1716 x e','|',1,2)+1)) )/ 2) AS x from dual;
i am fairly new in the oracle arena, but what would cause a statement such as
ALTER TABLE TEST_TABLE MODIFY text_field1 varchar2(100) DEFAULT 'testval' NULL
to change a column's type from VARCHAR2(100) to VARCHAR2(100 byte)? i found a few mentions of the 100 byte concept online but nothing that jumped out at me.
I have a pkg with a procedure that uses dbms_sql to process a varchar2_table. Each record in the table is a delimited string, such as "Priority^2", or "Destination^7". The goal is to split that string on the hat and update a record in the panelfield_users table. It works perfectly if I replace the first substr/instr on :pColumn with a hardcoded number, so I know that the binding is working to that point. It is only when I try to get the latter half of the string that it chokes. I keep getting a "invalid number" error. The displayorder field is an integer field and all values will be 3 digits or less. If I pull the sql string out into an editor, it runs just lovely.
The pertinent code is: C := DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR; DBMS_SQL.PARSE(C,'update panelfield_users set displayorder = to_number(substr(:pColumn, instr(:pColumn, ''^'') + 1)) where userid = :pUID and fieldid = (select fieldid from panel_fields where upper(panelname) = upper(:pPanel) and upper(modulename) = upper(:pModule) and upper(field_displayname) = upper(substr(:pColumn, 1, instr(:pColumn, ''^'')-1)) )
I have to ask a pretty basic question (my pl/sql skills need serious work). I need to validate that a string can be converted to a number, and if it can't be, substitute something else. This works:orcl> create or replace function jw_to_number(str varchar2) return number is
2 n number; 3 begin 4 n := to_number(str); 5 return n; 6 exception when others then return 0; 7 end; 8 /
Function created.
orcl> select jw_to_number('a') from dual; JW_TO_NUMBER('A') ----------------- 0 orcl>
but of course I don't want to use WHEN OTHERS. So I tried this:orcl> create or replace function jw_to_number(str varchar2) return number is
2 n number; 3 begin 4 n := to_number(str); 5 return n; 6 exception when INVALID_NUMBER then return 0; 7 end; 8 /
Function created.
orcl> select jw_to_number('a') from dual; select jw_to_number('a') from dual * ERROR at line 1: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error ORA-06512: at "SCOTT.JW_TO_NUMBER", line 4 orcl>I
thought this would replace the standard error handler with my own, but it doesn't. I tried redeclaring the pre-defined exception, same result.
REVNUMBER is a VARCHAR2. I've set it to increment by letter in alphabet to note the revision of a document, i.e. IR*, A, B, C... . This works beautifully.
VERNUMBER is a VARCHAR2. I've set it to increment by number but starts from null to 'IR' to 1, 2, 3...
Until now, I've been incrementing VERNUMBER without problem if, instead of IR as the first incremented value I leave the field null. The user has asked that IR display. I've tried using IR as the default but I still need to increment from there so I don't see it making a difference between that or dumping it as the first condition of the following. The problem is I get an invalid number error either way.
*'IR' = 'Initial Release'
SELECT CASE WHEN VERNUMBER IS NULL THEN 'IR' WHEN VERNUMBER = 'IR' THEN '1' ELSE REGEXP_REPLACE(VERNUMBER, '[0-9]+$', REGEXP_SUBSTR(UPPER(VERNUMBER), '[0-9]+$') + 1) END NEW_VERSION FROM DOC_INFO WHERE DOC_INFO_ID = :P3_DOC_INFO_ID
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?
I'm trying to load a csv file into an external table and when I select the table 0 rows is the result.
The log file has the following errors:
KUP-04021: field formatting error for field DEPTNO KUP-04023: field start is after end of record KUP-04101: record 1 rejected in file /usr/tmpclie.csv error processing column EMPNO in row 2 for datafile /usr/tmpclie.csv ORA-01722: invalid number
I'm trying to do a count on the number of combinations of country/state codes that are invalid (in Australia) for driving licenses.
select COUNTRY_CODE, STATE_CODE, count(*) from (select COUNTRY_CODE, STATE_CODE from CUSTOMER_TABLE where DRIVING_LICENCE is not null and not (COUNTRY_CODE in ('AUST') AND STATE_CODE in ('VIC', 'NSW', 'SA', 'QLD', 'NT', 'TAS', 'WA', 'ACT'))) group by COUNTRY_CODE, STATE_CODE
The output is okay...for example I get these results:
INTINT NZSI NZINT AUSTINT NZNSW NZ <null>
However, what I am missing is the combination of "AUST" & <null> for country/state respectively. Am I writing the code correctly?
I have a column named "col1" with datatype "varchar2(10)" and row wise entries like "1,1A, 2,3...,10,2A,..." like. I want to order it like "1, 1A ,2,2A, 2B,3... 10...".I tried it with to_number() but it gives me
in our application we are using clob column instead of varchar2 because varchar2 does not allow more that 4000 chars, so Using clob allows to put data of any length, will it cause performance issues ? we have this column in almost in all tables .
