I'm a fledgeling to start of with databases. Query below :
Select CONCAT(last_name,'',first_name)
from employees
When I run this query in SQL developer, I'm getting the following error :
ORA-00909: invalid number of arguments
+00909. 00000 - "invalid number of arguments"+
The aim is to concatenate last_name and first_name fields with a space in between.
I am running SQLLDR on unix.
LOAD DATA

2.Z59SFU17 POSITION(55:59,51:53,47:49) this is also not working.
3. i can not use ":Z59SFU15 || :Z59SFU16" this option.
I want to load a delimited file that contains many records which contained within the table where I'm going to load a date type field and I need to do this by concatenating three fields
field1 = 1 - this is the day
field2 = 11 - this corresponds to the month
field3 = 5 - this corresponds to the year
I need is in the field Save as type date 01/11/2005 i don´t know how to do it but I tried as follows but I get error loading.
"TO_DATE (TO_CHAR (: field1 ||'/'|| DECODE (: field2, 1, 'JAN', 2, 'FEB', 3, 'MAR', 4, 'APR', 5, 'MAY', 6 , 'JUN', 7, 'JUL', 8, 'AUG', 9, 'SEP', 10, 'OCT', 11, 'NOV', 12, 'DEC': field2 )||'/'|| : field3)) "
I want to replace double space with single space and also remove junk characters from the data. How can I do that?

2. Can i shrink sysaux tablespace ?
3. I think , The size for all occupants in sysaux tablespace is less than 200 MB => how to find actual content of sysaux tablespace ?
4. What could be the reason for growth? Is there any way to free the space from sysaux table space?
I have a table which I will call 'fruit basket' which contains the following data:
basket_ref, fruit, fruit_serial
1, apple, 1
1, banana, 2
1, pear, 3
2, apple, 1
2, lemon, 2
What I want to produce is a table in the following format
basket_ref, all_fruit
1, apple banana pear
2, apple lemon
There could theoretically be any amount of fruit in a given basket, so I will need to set up some kind of loop in order to read each record from the original table. I am not sure how it would be best to do this.
I have the following info in a table:
LEVELPARENTPOSCHILD
1100571010055
1100572010053
2100552010056
2100551010054
The output that I need is:
LEVELPARENTPOSCHILD
1100571010055
21005510.1010054
21005510.2010056
1100572010053
If there are even more levels, I also need those childs to be shown right below their parent and with POS as 10.20.10 )(for the first item below POS 10.20.
I'd like to concatenate my 3 columns into one. I have this text item(NAME) and i want my columns lname, fname and mname to be bound into name text item.
this is so far my code to do the concat:
SELECT lname
INTO :ADVISEMENT.name
FROM students
WHERE :ADVISEMENT.name = lname || ',' || fname || ',' || mname;
but it didn't appear at all.
I am trying to replace the string_name in the following execute immediate statement with a concatenated
string_||v_variable.
execute immediate
'select
table_name
from
user_tables
where table_name = :a'
into v_table
using 'string_name';
I tried different declaration and concatenations but nothing worked so far.
This is a simple question, but I cannot seem to find a solution. Here's the basic query:
select distinct accountno, parcelno, streetno||' '|| predirection ||' '|| streetname||' '|| streettype||' '|| postdirection||' '|| unitname||', '|| propertycity
from tblacctpropertyaddress ....
What I want to do is add is this logic: If Predirection is null, then no space between streetno & streetname. Same for postdirection and unitname. (for example, if both postdirection and unitname are null, there are no spaces between streettype and the comma before propertycity)
Also, when unitname is not null, I want to add the string "Unit " prior to the returned value in unitname.
i m create one function in which i have to concatenate result likeDate is 19/07/2010'. i tried to concatenate in select statement. in this case function is created successfully but it gives error when it run.

I have three database fields on my form , field_1 , field_2 and field_3 , user will enter the data in field_1 , and sometime he may not enter in field_2 ,
I want to bring the value of field_1 as it is into field_3 if he does not enter anything in field_2, if he enters the data in field_2 , then field_1 will get concatenated with field_2 and gets copied into field_3.Is there a way to do this automatically at form level using a trigger when-validate-item.In short this should be done after user presses the enter key on field_2.

I am loading data using sqlldr command in UNIX to an oracle table and want to concatenate timestamp to a file name in the "create_file_name" column in the code below.
I have the below code within the control file..
LOAD DATA

TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
file_type POSITION(1:5) CHAR,
business_date POSITION(16:23) DATE "YYYYMMDD",

The load fails with SQL Loader error: "Expecting valid column specification, ",", ")", found keyword EXPRESSION found instead of column. How the timestamp to a filename can be appended?
I created a sample application in java which concatenates three strings and displays the result in a final string.
Check the -
public class conCat
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
String Message1 = "This ";
String Message2 = "is a Sample ";
[code].......
This is a Sample Application
And the three strings are concatenated to the final string "Message" only. How to concatenate them vertically? The required output is :
This is a sample Application
Once a year in the application we have a specific query that gets used a lot. It's an UPDATE that updates a single record in a single table with a few different datatypes, but the issue is happening with one of the VARCHAR2 fields. It updates one VARCHAR2(2000) and three VARCHAR2(4000) fields at the same time.
This year, 9 of the 95 times it was used resulted in one of the VARCHAR2(4000) fields as null in the database. The users would not want this field to be null and 5 of the 9 have told us they entered something (the form they're filling out is a research proposal and leaving this field empty would be pointless because it's part of the funding request, so they're not doing it). The application isn't doing it because it's not consistent. I've checked the application and these fields can't be nulled any other way.
We just found the issue so I looked back over the past years back to 2005. Last year it didn't happen at all. In 2010 it happened a handful of times. Some years there were even more times. It's not always the same field but it's always a VARCHAR2 of at least 2000 characters.
I have a lot more information but it's all just details (let me know if you need to know more). I'm wondering if there is a bug in 10g with these types of fields. I don't believe it's malicious behavior on an individual's part but I suppose that's always possible.
how to research something like this. I tried to get access to Oracle Support and the Knowledge Base I heard they have but it doesn't look like I can do that
I have the following fields:
Addressln1
Addressln2
Suburb
Town
I know how to concatenate them
trim(Addressln1) || ',' || trim(Addressln2) || ',' || trim(Suburb) || ',' || trim(Town) as Address
1. I would like to know if any of the fields are empty I would like to eliminate the comma character from the string.
2. Can I replace the comma with a new line character and what character to be used in the syntax.
We are using Oracle 10g, on redhat linux (version not known to me).I'm running a Perl script that reads in data from Visual FoxPro tables, creates datafiles on the fly from these FP tables, then SQL-Loader runs and uploads all the data to matching tables in Oracle.
Problem:My upload runs, but I'm not getting the data in some of the fields that I should be. It is being uploaded to the wrong fields.
I had to add more columns to the Oracle tables in order to capture the data coming from FoxPro. These columns were/are in FoxPro. In the past, they were not needed in Oracle. I was using the FILLER command in the Control files to skip these. Now they are needed in Oracle. The new columns get added to the end of the table in Oracle, so they are not in the same exact order they are in FoxPro. It is these new columns that are not getting the correct data.
I've learned in the past that I need the fields/columns in the control files to match the order they are in the FoxPro tables from which the data comes. My Question is, Does the Oracle table column order have to match the Control file column order. Like so: FoxPro table column order = control file column order = Oracle table column order
i have a query in this way
select field1,field2,field3 from Table1
union
select field1,field2,field3 from table2
In the query from table2 i am getting duplicate rows, HOW can i retrieve only distinct rows...Using distinct keyword did not work...if i have to post create and insert statements for this one...

how to write oracle sql?
can I use calculated fields (b) for another calculation (c) in the same select?
select 10*a as b,
10*b as c
from tab
The code gives an error, but how can I do this?
I'm having a bit of a problem getting the syntax of a trigger right. Unfortunately, I have no DBAs locally, I use some third party software, and for reasons beyond my understanding, I have been told to use triggers, and not stored procedures, so I'm running with it.
The set up:
STRUCTURES table: contains several columns, one of which is the unique ID column.
ASSAY table: contains several rows, also with the same ID column, but can have more than one row per ID (several assays per compound). One column is XC_ASSAYS.
The idea of the trigger is basically: When a row in the ASSAYS table is updated, pull out the ID of the row, then calculate the average of the XC_ASSAYS columns for those rows, and report it to the STRUCTURES.XC_ASSAY column for that row ID.
My best attempt thus far results in compilation errors.
CREATE TRIGGER INHIB_W_ALA_TR
AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE ON ASSAYS
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
UPDATE STRUCTURES SET XC_ASSAY = (SELECT AVG(XC_ASSAY) FROM ASSAYS WHERE ASSAYS.ID = :NEW.ID) WHERE STRUCTURES.ID = :NEW.ID
END;
/
The resulting errors are:
LINE/COL ERROR

2/190 PL/SQL: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
12/0 PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "end-of-file" when expecting
[code]...
I don't understand some of the errors, such as why line 2 SQL is ignored (it seems correct?), or I'm supposed to properly terminate the trigger (I've read ; and /, but I'm getting the end-of-file errors when I do so). Tried shuffling syntax and ' or " around - and I can't get it.The body SQL works when I replace :NEW.ID with an actual variable (such as 'NMP12'), but I'm not sure how to pass the ID variable from the updated row into the body. The ID is not updated, but other columns are.
I have had a google around and can't seem to find an answer as to how do do the following Select statement. i am wanting to Select the following fields from across multiple tables.
(field.table)
CustName.CUST
SalesNo.SALE
SalesDate.SALE
ItemDes.ITEM
Qty.SALEITEM
OrderComplete.SALEITEM
with 2 types of WHERE criteria:
WHERE SalesDate is between 'dateX' AND 'dateY'
and also WHERE OrderComplete = 'Y'
i understand this will require some sort of join in the statement so the keys for the different tables are as follows:
CUST
CustNo - PK
SALE
SalesNo - PK
CustNo - fk
ITEM
ItemNo - PK
SALEITEM
SalesNo -fk
ItemNo - fk (compound PK)
i have had a play around with using some joins & embedded statements
My task is to test a field in a certain database. We shall refer to the field as ship_to. There is an algorithm for which the field ship_to is populated and higher up in the algorithm, a variable we shall call X is created. The algorith states that I should assign the variable to ship_to unless X is = -1. If X is = -1, the algorithm continues with multiple joins and assignments. What would be the best way to go about coding this solution. There are 4 individual paths. I have only described the first path, but they are similiar in structure. I was thinking of using either Case's or decodes?The field ship_to is a number. I have already created a statement to test the sum of the Target, but now I need to test the entire algorithm to see if it too sums the Target.
