Jul 12, 2012
I have a problem that I don't know how to solve it.here is it:
I have a table test1(intitule varchar,age number):
INTITULE AGE
------------------------------ ----------
nom1 1
nom2 2
nom3 3
nom4 4
nom5 5
nom6 6
nom7 7
nom8 8
nom9 9

I am trying to name a column from data stored in a row (Phone number) I want to name it from the first 3 digits (Area code) and I have no clue how to do it I have googled but I think the query is a little too complicated for me to explain it and get a result from google or find it in a section of a book.
My phone numbers are strings, so I initially look for the first 3 characters and then start separating and counting, I can do that, the only problem I have is naming the column WITH the the first three digits that I just separated.

My phone numbers are strings, so I initially look for the first 3 characters and then start separating and counting, I can do that, the only problem I have is naming the column WITH the the first three digits that I just separated.
I am trying to learn by myself how to use databases and am using the HR database that comes in oracle since I read in a forum that it is a great way to learn how to use queries.
I read about using Pivot to do it, but in pivot I need to know how many area codes there are. I will post a screen shot of the table that I am working on the other post
[URL].....
I can group by phone number with this:
SELECT SUBSTR(PHONE_NUMBER, 1, 3) AREA, COUNT(SUBSTR(PHONE_NUMBER, 1, 3)) TOTAL_COUNT
FROM EMPLOYEES
GROUP BY SUBSTR(PHONE_NUMBER, 1, 3);
But what I am interested in doing is that instead of Area appearing as a column, that the actual first 3 digits would appear as the column name.
This is kind of what I am trying to do, but instead of AREA appearing as column name I would like for each one of the area codes to appear as column name, here is the
SELECT DE.DEPARTMENT_NAME, EM.SEX, SUBSTR(EM.PHONE_NUMBER, 1, 3) AREA, COUNT(SUBSTR(EM.PHONE_NUMBER, 1, 3)) TOTAL_COUNT FROM EMPLOYEES EM, DEPARTMENTS DE WHERE DE.DEPARTMENT_ID = EM.DEPARTMENT_ID GROUP BY DEPARTMENT_NAME, EM.SEX, SUBSTR(PHONE_NUMBER, 1, 3) ORDER BY DEPARTMENT_NAME;

Oracle database version is : 10G.
When we try to query a column from a table the output is shown as "?????". Seems the data in that column is stored in a different character set, which is not recognised while displaying the output. The column size is 35byte.
The nls parameter table shows the character set as "we8mswin1252".
get this issue resolved.

how to insert data in a table by deleting previous entered data and only inserting current data like:
CREATE TABLE test
(
name VARCHAR2(20),
id NUMBER
)
INSERT INTO test VALUES ('aaa',5500);
[code]....
I got two rows. now when I do insert statement I want to delete the previously stored data and only insert the current data like:
INSERT INTO test VALUES ('aaa',8);
INSERT INTO test VALUES ('aaa',9);
it must show aaa,8 and aaa,9 bt not the previous values.
NOTE: we can not do sth like: update set... where id = ... becoz the values are dynamic.

CREATE TABLE SALESHIST
(
PRODUCT VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
Q1 VARCHAR2(30),
Q2 VARCHAR2(30),
Q3 VARCHAR2(30),
Q4 VARCHAR2(30)
)

I'm using Oracle 11g enhanced ADD COLUMN Functionality. Adding new columns with DEFAULT values and NOT NULL constraint no longer requires the default value to be stored in all existing records.
Sometimes we change DB columns from NOT NULL with DEFAULT to NULL with DEFAULT. This operation "materialize" column default. Is there an easy way (Dictionary view) how to find, that COLUMN default value is stored as metadata or is "materialized" ?

Now am on a need to take sum of data from one table but three different condition with three column.I give example Lets consider I have a table called Sales in which it has three columns
1.Dept
2.sales_amt
3.status
There are 3 different flag for status A,B & C.I want display data in the following format in five columns.
Dept Status_A Status_B Status_C
1 30 50 20
1 10 60 30
total 40 110 50
But data is stored in the table in rows like
1 30 A
1 50 B
1 20 C like all rows.
For this I wrote union operation and sum.Am
creating a view for this with there columns dept,Sales_A,Sales_B & Sales C for sum of data.My view is
select dept,Sum(sales_amt),0,0 from sales where status='A' group by dept union
select dept,0,sum(sales_amt),0 from sales where status='B' group by dept union
select dept,0,0,sum(sales_amt) from sales where status='C' group by dept
Am assigning 0 for other two status of data because i want the data to be displayed on different columns based on row level condition.The view will return data like
Dept Sales_A Sales_B Sales_C
1 30 0 0
1 10 0 0
1 0 50 0
1 0 60 0
1 0 0 20
1 0 0 30
So finally am using sum function again and selection total sum of value for each status from this view.So by using union operation how can i display data from different condition of data into seperate columns.

I have to move the data from a Varray column to a table.
Lets say I have created a Varray as described below,
create or replace TYPE "BT_TYPE" AS OBJECT (
R_ID NUMBER,
P_EVENT VARCHAR2(100))
/
create or replace TYPE "BT_VR" AS varray(20) of BT_TYPE
/
And I have a used this Varray as the column datatype in table
Create table BT_MASTER(
BT_ID_SEQNUMBER(5),
BT_DETAILBT_VR);
And this table contains data.
I want to move the data in the VARRAY column BT_DETAIL to another table. I have create a staging table BT_STG which contains a surrogate key column and the columns from the VARRAY. I am creating this staging table at run time.
Create Table BT_STG(
BT_STG_ID NUMBER(5),
R_ID NUMBER(5),
P_EVENT VARCHAR2(100)
);
One way to create this staging table is to query the data dictionary views to get the VARRAY object's columns, datatyeps and create it.
Is there any other simpler way by which I could create a table similar to a VARRAY/Object?
Something similar to,
create table test as select * from BT_VR

I have a table named PRODUCT (ID Number , ProductImage BLOB). I have inserted some records in. I want to create a form for user to view this table.
When I create Data Block, in Data Block Wizard, if I select option 'Table or View' to retrieve data, it's ok (Data type of item ProductImage is Image, when I run form and query, it display image normally).BUT, I want to retrieve data from stored procedure in a package. This is my package
PACKAGE my_pkg IS
TYPE my_rec IS RECORD
(
myID PRODUCT.ID%TYPE,
myImage PRODUCT.ProductImage%TYPE
);
[code].....
I select option 'Stored Procedure' in Data Block Wizard, then select my stored procedure (my_pkg.Do_Query). Next I choose 2 columns from my stored procedure (ID, ProductImage). The wizard still applys data type of ProductImage as Image. I finish Data Block Wizard and Layout Wizard... run form, query and an error message display:
FRM-40364: The data type of item 'ProductImage' does not match the corresponding column in the stored procedure.
I try to change 'myImage PRODUCT.ProductImage%TYPE' -> 'myImage BLOB' in my package but still get that error.

What I am trying to do is print out page that displays all of the column titles and the data under them for a query given by the user. It is then going to be put into an excel spreadsheet.
I've done this before with Java, simply by using the getMetaData function, but I can't seem to find an alternative for PL/SQL. It seems at the very least I need to know the number of columns in a query, but that would defeat the purpose of this.
Is what I am trying to do even possible or is knowing the column names an absolute necessity when printing table data?

I'm trying to un-escape the data of a table column using the package function - UTL_URL.Unescape . But the problem is my column is a CLOB and length of my data exceeds that acceptable by the function.
So, i'm just trying to simulate that function behavior normally. My logic is to scan all characters with pattern '%yy' (HEX) and then convert it into DECIMAL using TO_CHAR(,'XX') . But got stuck in this regexp-replace.
with xx as(
select '<p>%3Cp%3Ewefwef%3C/p%3E</p>' col from dual
)
select
UTL_URL.unescape(col) x1,
regexp_replace(col,'%([a-zA-Z0-9]){2}','2|.') x2

I have two tables T1 and T2. T1 is the original backup snapshot for changed records from overnight batch in a big table and T2 is the overnight batch changed records. Both tables have similar number of rows (T2 might have more for newly inserted rows) and you can find out the differences by comparing these two according to action column in T2 (C - Update, A - Insert and D - Delete)
how to compare these two tables to generate something like the following. I can join these two tables to generate the diff but it is one row per account.
client_nbr branch_cd, account_cd, action column, old_value, new_value
8888 123 45678 C account_clsfn_cd 004 005
8888 123 45678 C buy_cd 98 99
8888 012 34546 A sell_cd 12
8888 321 98765 D dividend_cd 1
I am using Oracle 10g so Unpivot cannot be used.
CREATE TABLE T1
(
CLIENT_NBR CHAR(4 BYTE) NOT NULL,
BRANCH_CD CHAR(3 BYTE) NOT NULL,
ACCOUNT_CD CHAR(5 BYTE) NOT NULL,
ACCOUNT_CLSFN_CD CHAR(3 BYTE),
SELL_CD CHAR(2 BYTE),
BUY_CD CHAR(2 BYTE),
