SQL Formatting To Char Function
Dec 23, 2012
i have a problem with my SQL programming which i am learning at the moment. Currently here is my Show how many orders were placed in each month of 2012. (group by question, to char function)
select count(orderdate)
from csorder
group by orderdate;
where the to char function would occur?
tables for reference
CSPRODUCT contains (PRODCODE, PRODNAME, CATCODE, PRICE, PARTOF_PRODCODE)
CSCATEGORY contains (CATECODE, CATNAME)
CSORDER contains (ORDERID, ORDERDATE, CUSTID, PAID)
CSORDERLINE contains (ORDERID, PRODCODE, QUANTITY)

Well the company i work for has just recently upgraded from Oracle 9i to 10g. We are having various problems with the migration, and with certain code breaking. My question regards this piece of code;
[code]
to_number(to_char('a_date','YYYY'))
[code]
There are various statements like the one above scattered throughout a query i am trying to fix. When run, the query returns an "invalid number ora-01722" error, which i know is caused by the above code.
if this method of converting from date, to character was discontinued from 9i to 10g?it just seems strange as there are a lot of statements like the one above and they must have worked at some point, but now i cant even get one to work on its own.

I am trying to develop a PL/SQL function to perform some data cleansing. One of the data cleansing requirements is If there are instances of more than 1 space together, the extra spaces should be removed.Say for example, if my data comes in as "123 456 789", then my function should clean it as "123 456 789" replacing multiple spaces with just 1 space.
What PL/SQL functions could I use to accomplish this?

I have the age of a property stored in my DB. (Lets say 3 yrs old). I would like to extract from that information, the year the property was built. I know I can minus the sysdate by days (-1) and months (add_months), but how can I do it using the YEAR information I have stored?
So if I was doing it against sysdate, I would want the result to be 10/24/2003.

I'm creating a report and wrapping the output line.
These are the variables I'm using
lv_actn_line_1 VARCHAR2(60);
lv_actn_line_2 VARCHAR2(60);
lv_actn_line_3 VARCHAR2(60);
lv_actn_line VARCHAR2 (192);
lv_rpt_ln_19 VARCHAR2(102);
I assign variable
lv_actn_line:=lv_actn_line_1||' '||lv_actn_line_2||' '||lv_actn_line_3;
And want to use it in output as below.
lv_rpt_ln_19 := edge_blank ||lv_actn_line;
osfile.put_line(v_fileid,lv_rpt_ln_19);
line_cnt := line_cnt+1;
How can I format the output so that lv_actn_line will wrap at character 102?

I have the following piece of
SELECT decode(substr('18900607|000000|20110718112109|23972|002',

'00000000000000',
NULL,
(to_date(substr('18900607|000000|20110718112109|23972|002',
17,
14),
'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS')))
FROM dual;
When I run the above code I get an incorrect display ie. "18-JUL-11". when I remove the decode I get the correct display ie."2011/07/18 11:21:09 AM"

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE A516907.proc_data_T_DTIA_TS_ADDR

v_file UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE ;

The procedure above is dynamically generated. It's simple enough in that I am calling "the parent procedure" by passing the table name in. After this the procedure for creating the output data file for that table is generated and that's what we have above. I am doing this to load data into DB2.
What I need is to be able to generate the output such that if the column is of type varchar, char (anything non numeric) then the data should have " around it. If the data is of type number it should not have ".
I suppose I could use something as follows in lieu of the procedure above
Declare
cursor c1 is select column_name, data_type from user_tab_Cols where table_name = 'Table Name here';
-- I would like to know how to use the utl_file.put_line
-- where if the column data type is varchar 2
-- I could get ' ||"|| CS1.TS_ADDR_TY_CD||" || '
-- and if it's a number -- || CS1.CB_TS_DTIS_ID ||

as part of an exercise we are to demonstrate a FOR LOOP from 1 - 100.
We must show the output as evidence of doing the work.
Is it possible to display the results in two columns, instead of all in one row? Because 100 rows will not fit it one screenshot!
BEGIN
FOR i in 1..100
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(i);
END LOOP;
END;

How to make the multiple lines of character in single line. Below is the example where i am getting the value when we export the data from the database table.
----------------------
Welcome Aboard customer contact based on Account activation.
The current selection criteria for Welcome Aboard is based at the service level. Therefore, each time a customer connects a service, Welcome Aboard material is mailed to the customer. This is causing the following problems;
Customer complaints. If a service or a number of services are connected on a particular day, it will result in (ie except for some minor exclusions) a single Welcome Aboard pack being sent to each individual customer. As you can expect for corporate accounts, they receive a high volume of this material. Other problems occur when, service/s are deactivated and reactivated, each time a Welcome aboard pack will be distributed.
High costs to Telstra. Each MNET service connected may produce a Welcome aboard pack. This volume of material currently costs Telstra over $500,000 per quarter for Welcome Aboard alone.

I am currently doing a project where i need to write a stored procedure which will be doing the following-
i)it will retrieve multiple columns from multiple tables in a single database(through join) based on certain conditions
II)then it will store the entire data in a certain field(File_data) of staging table
inside file_data a header and a trailer will be present with the records.also the field values will be pipe separated and a new record will start in a new line.
So,the data inside the file_data of staging table will look like this-
H|v1000
transdate|ordnmb|deposite_amt|order_status....
12-nov-09|123456|23.8|C...
4-dec-07|234567|67.7|R...
..........
7-jan-04|567890|54.7|x.....
T|234(record count)
i did this formatting using java, but my project leader wants me to do the formatting using SP,and wants me to use staging table.

I have a query then I write it to a text file using utl_file. However, I'm having some trouble formatting the data itself on the text file. =(
How would I align these records against its header considering the length of the Name/subscriber no. column which is not constant. Would LPAD work?
ID Name Subscriber No

So I'm trying to display a monetary value in an item.
SELECT to_char(SUM(TXN_AMT),'$9,999') from CMS_COST_TRACKING where UPPER(TXN_NODE)='VMAX'this results in ######### in the item
If I remove the to_char formatting then the SUM displays correctly.Is this a restriction of some kind. The item is a display only.

I want to make a report which is formated (rebuilding an older tool in Access).
So on the one hand I need some formattings which I implemented with the search bar in the interavtive report. (content of the first column is the heading for a table with the rest of the content of all rows which have the sam content in the first column) On the other hand I don't want to show the headings of the columns, what I solved with the classic report(report attributes/ column attributes: none).
Is the a solution to match these two requirements in one report?

I have a Number(18,0) datatype.It could have millions/billions stored in that field.How can I show that amount in the form of $7,123,787 ($ sign and commas)?
By using To_char function like below, I am not getting the desired format.
Select to_char(123000000.25, '$9,9999999999.00') FROM dual;
Result is (no commas):
$123000000.25

I have a workbook in Discoverer which is not formatted correctly when I export it to excel. I have to re-size the columns and also adjust the height of the rows to see the data clearly.
Is there a way I can export the report without having to make these changes all the time?

I am using the cloud version of APEX for a college course. The database script I am trying to load has dates formatted in "DD-MON-RR" and I receive 'not a valid month' and 'a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected'. Is there a workaround in APEX for this? I'm trying to avoid changing thousands of lines of data.

,Is there a way to make Interactive reports break format work/look like classic reports break format? i.e.1st,2nd,3rd column option. The way IR breaks is that is reserves a whole row for the column used in the break, which is not what I want, I want the report to look like the following:
city emp sal
Chicago John Miller 1500
Mark Horton 2000
Denver Rob Martino 1200
I tried to use rollup queries which work fine except that it does not do exactly what I want when I sort columns through the front end , I am basically displaying a check box for grouped records ( and I want it to display at the first record of each group), so the order is important. for example:
checkbox City emp sal[ ]
Chicago John Miller 1500
Mark Horton 2000[ ]
Denver Rob Martino 1200

oracle 11 g xe
1) I want to pass date in '12 Dec 2012'(CHARECTER) while calling SP and in side SP i have declared parameter as DATE so I think it should not create any problem in any condition whether it is passed from oracle client or any other front end?
2) I have date in (date type variable) , how to convert it into char but it should be in iso format (i want iso format , so that it should not create any problem in any condition).
3) How to convert (date in char- in iso or any good format) into (date type variable) (so that it should not create problem and this is why i wanted char date in iso format).
4) If there is any good format and function to convert (date to char) and (char to date)?

create table tmp_mape

insert into tmp_mape values ('Dobitie zdarma 3,32EUR 0910105067 02/02')
insert into tmp_mape values ( 'Dobitie pravidelné 9,00EUR' )
I just need to get values 3.32 and 9 from that example into the new column.
The select below returns ORA-01722: invalid number
how to solve it?
select remark,
to_number( to_number(REGEXP_SUBSTR (remark, '[[:digit:]]+', 1) ) ||','|| to_number(substr(REGEXP_SUBSTR (remark, ',[^EUR]+', 1) ,2) ) )
from tmp_mape
