Reports & Discoverer :: Between Clause To Compare Two String Values
Jun 15, 2013
I have a problem with Between clause used in where statement to compare two string variable.
Query is like this,
select item_code, item_deacrption
from itm_master, invoce_det
where im_code = item_code
AND invd_item_number BETWEEN (:startNum) AND (:endNum)
Here invd_item_number is a DB field and is of type varchar2(41), and (:startNum),(:endNum) are of same type.
now invd_item_number has one value '001003002001'
if we give :startNum = '001003001002' and :endNum = '001003004006'
:startNum and :endNum is composed of separate field values (ie, 1st 3 character shows color code, next 3 for catagory, next 3 for size etc). These codes are entered separately and are combined at run time.
it is still fetching the invd_item_number with value '001003002001'. (the last set of character(type code) in the :startNum is greater than invd_item_number's type code value. But it is smaller than the previous code (size code), that's why it is fetching).
But how can i get around this as i don't need that value to be fetched.
I wanna convert the amount of money from number to string such as 144.5 to be one hundred forty four point five is there any function or i have to write my function? How could i put new line in the string?
for example if i have 'SAB Bank' || 'Riyadh'
but i want SAB bank to be displayed in line and Riyadh in line.
My own created software is running since last 4 years but now when I am trying to run a report then I got a message "REP-0002 unable to retrieve a string from the report builder" and as a result my report don't run. Please note that some other reports are working properly, this problem is happens only with some of them reports.
I have a reference number of application number which is sent to 3 different address as outward number . for example application number is intimated to the office , the employee and the treasury. this number is generated as follows
P/11/10/133 P/11/10/133A P/11/10/133B
in my outward report when i run it all three numbers are getting listed.
i want only P/11/10/133 to be listed and ignore the rest of the two. i tried to use SUBSTR(INOUT_NO,9), but it reads only from the left gives me only the number ie 133, 133A and 133B. i tried rtrim and ltrim but it only clears the extra space. how do i ignore the other two dispatch numbers.
I have a report in report 6 which has static field where values are shown for previous year and for current year. the output of the report will be like this
sl no department prev year cur year 01 revenue 2000 5000 02 costing 500 1000 03 excise 8000 900 and so on....
I have a created a fomula field for each and every department and get the value from a particular table. What i require is if suppose the department revenue does not have any value then that row should not be visible. for eg if revenue has a null value then the report should be like this
sl no department prev year cur year 01 costing 500 1000 02 excise 8000 900
display values in descending order( as got from fomula column). i put that field in above group and got properly. now i want to sum these values at the end of report. its going to some distinct values, while i want all values to be sum.
I am facing a problem in leave_form report! want to show employee's previous leaves detail (leavedate,leavetype), i don't want to show leavetype 'PPP' repeating frame type is Across/Down, there are 22 records of leavetype 'PPP' and one record of leavetype 'CL'
problem is report is showing 22 records of leavetype 'CL' of same leavedate!
i want that report should show the actual leavedate and leavetype records.using 9i database 6i developer server2003
For leavetype
FUNCTION Cf_1formula RETURN CHAR IS v_leavetype CHAR(40); BEGIN SELECT LT.description INTO v_leavetype FROM hrm_attendance L, hrm_leavetype LT, hrm_employees E [code]....
I have a report, where there are opening balance and closing balance, so i have to store the closing balance values in a separate table during runtime and should show this closing value as opening balance for next month.
I am trying to select multiple values from a parameter form based on a select statement.
I created the parameter and write the select statement under list-of-value property However what I want is to let users choose multiple values from the select statement not only one value.
Well i like to display the Values in Boiler Plate/Text. For Example, i have Report with Address Columns. for Tin No: i have Hard coded as TIN: 34XXXXXX01 and i like to change this hard coded item as TIN: 34XXXXXX02 so during Runtime if the input is changed the above item to be changed.
I studied a document about lexical parameter in that it says "Lexical parameters are used to substitute multiple values at run time and are identified by a preceding '&'. Lexical s can consist of as little a one line where clause to an entire select statement"
Select * from emp, deptno &where.
and i know about substitution variables using & is this are same (lexical and substitution) or different.
I am searching the simplest way for ad hoc MINUS.I do:
SELECT * FROM uam_rss_user_XXXXXXX WHERE host_name IN ('XXX0349', 'XXX0362', 'XXX0363', 'XXX0343', 'XXX0342', 'XXX0499', [code]....
and look in the table which values are missing (values that are in host_name IN but not in actual table).is there a simpler way for doing an ad hoc MINUS? I know to insert values in temp. Table. How are experienced Oracle pros doing this task?
is it possible to compare two time values in oracle sql ie there is a column say 'tot' with values 8:29,11:35 etc(8hrs29 mins etc) can i compare this column with 03:00hrs i tried select case tot>=3 then 1 as days end from tablename;
I have an requirement like below and would like to have SQL for that.
Source Table:
EMP_NO EMP_CODE 1 'A' 1 'D' 1 'E' 1 'F'
2 'S' 2 'A' 2 'W' 2 'Q'
3 'A' 3 'T' 3 'D' 3 'E'
4 'D' 4 'A'
I want to load only data which has EMP_CODE as A and doesn't have subsequent 'E' or 'F' in it. In the above source you can see EMP_NO 2 and 4 satisfy the condition and rest wont. So i want the output data like below.
I have two tables which have identical schemas, one table (tbl_store) is used to hold the latest version, and the other table (tbl_store_audit) holds previous versions. When the latest record is updated, it is inserted into the tbl_store_audit table as a revision, and the updated details are used as the latest record.
For example: The latest version is held in tbl_store, however the tbl_store_audit may hold 5 records which are the past records used before changes were made - these are seen as revisions.
I want to be able to compare what has changed between each revision in the tbl_store_audit table. For example: Out of the 10 columns, the change between revision 1 and revision 2 was the size from XL to XXL. The change between revision 3 and revision 4 was the size XS to M and price 4.99 to 10.99, and so on.
Eventually i will create an APEX report that will show the user the revision number and what was changed from and to.
I seen in a previous post i need to note my oracle version: Oracle version 10.2.0.4.0
We have employee salary table which will have salary of an employee on daily basis (only working days). Below is the table structure:
emp_salary ---------- emp_id NUMBER(15) NOT NULL effective_date DATE NOT NULL salary NUMBER(15) NOT NULL Primary key - emp_id, effective_date This table is yearly partitioned
I have to find out how long the salary is not changed for an employee from given date, and last salary. I am using below query to do this:
WITH salary_tab AS (SELECT effective_date, salary, (CASE WHEN (LAG (salary) OVER (PARTITION BY emp_id ORDER BY effective_date ASC) = salary ) THEN 0 ELSE 1 END ) changed_ind FROM emp_salary WHERE emp_id = 12345 [code]....
The cost of this query is 1677 and it is taking around 60 msec to complete. When I run this query for around 2000 employees in a loop it is taking around 3 minutes to complete.
The main bottleneck of this query is in the with clause where I am processing the entire history instead of stopping after first change.
I have a dynamic query which has this clause in it: WHERE [COLUMN NAME] IN (' || theString || ')
My problem is that theString is being passed in through a C# call and the variable is a bunch of strings concatenated together and separated by a comma. Ex: theString = "'val1','val2'"
How many quotes are supposed to go around val1 and val2?
I've tried the following and none work: 'val1','val2' ''val1','val2'' ''val1'',''val2'' '''val1'',''val2''' ''''val1'',''val2''''
When I run the procedure in Oracle it works with '''val1'',''val2'''
WHERE TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(RR.PEROFOPFROM,'DD-MON-YYYY')||RR.AIRCRAFTSTD,'DD-MON-YYYY:HH24MI') > TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(RR.PEROFOPFROM,'DD-MON-YYYY')||RR.AIRCRAFTSTA,'DD-MON-YYYY:HH24MI')
I have data like this:
PEROFOPFROMAIRCRAFTSTD
29/03/20102150 NULL NULL NULL NULL 30/03/20102150
When I execute the query it always gives me the error "literal does not match format string".
