For whatever reason, in PHP, DESC statements do not work. They're simply unrecognized and you get an OCI "invalid SQL statement" error. It may be some sort of security feature. I've also had the same result with the SQL scratchpad in the Java EM, but not in SQL Plus. Is there an alternative method for getting details on a table that I can use that also doesn't require being logged in as a SYSDBA?

I am a newbie to Oracle and trying to write something to basically loop through all tables and do a DESC for each table,
I have the following code
set serveroutput on
begin
FOR cursor1 IN (SELECT * FROM ALL_TABLES where OWNER='ABC' ORDER BY TABLE_NAME)
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(cursor1.TABLE_NAME);
FOR cursor2 IN (select * from cols where TABLE_NAME=cursor1.TABLE_NAME ORDER BY COLUMN_NAME)
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(cursor2.COLUMN_NAME);
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
end;
Although the above code works, I would like to have the DESC TABLE_NAME instead of just displaying the column name so I can see the properties of the column.
I couldn't get the DESC part to work

There are 2 setup of Oracle DB 9.2.0.8.0. There is a table T1 in both (one that is working 6.5 million rows and the other that is not working having 6.7 million rows). while doing - select * from t1 order by c1 desc; one is using index i1 and other is going for full table access.

Been cruising all sorts of ways to order by. My last ditch effort my be to use the WITH clause, but I don't want to go there just yet...
Using Oracle 10G against a database that uses a COTS CHAR datatype schema against an in-house varchar2 datatype schema (hence all the trims you will see in there so I can get proper joins)
Here is my query in question. Beware it's somewhat eye-bleeding!
select * from (
SELECT
int.part "Part",
int.lot_nbr "Lot",
int.stkrm "Stkrm",
int.location "Location",
[Code]...
Now obviously no one would be able to run this... But here is an example of how this is spitting out the ordered by date:
31-Mar-2011 12:00:00 AM
31-Mar-2011 12:00:00 AM
31-Mar-2011 12:00:00 AM
28-Sep-2011 12:00:00 AM
[Code]...
It's like it's ordering it by the day only...

I have an Oracle query that I have built based on user input... user enters a description (multiple words) and I search for existing descriptions like it. For instance I may have a record like "My name is matt". Right now the query looks like
select * from table where
(field1 like '%My%' or
field1 like '%name%' or
field1 like '%is%' or
field1 like '%matt%');
There may be tons of records that have at least ONE of these, but I want to order by relevance, so a description "my name is bob" (3 words in common) will appear before "his name is not mine" (just 2 words in common).I have seen the SCORE() and CONTAINS() functions but not sure about multiple search criteria.

i create a form for ordering>>>that the person can enter his/her information and isbn book to make the order,but the order id i make it sequentially! well first of all i create a data-block and i insert only the oid in trigger when-new-item-instance..i had create the sequence:
declare
create sequence seq1
start with 90
increment by 10;
end;
and i make a view form such of fields that user can enter a details o what he/she want to order!!
1- is that enough?
2- it seems there is an error in creating the sequence?? wrong way to create the sequence!!

I need to return an ordered list of documents. The documents may belong to a set id (optional) and if so, are either a "master" or a "duplicate" type. For each set there can be only one master but many duplicates. My goal is to group all the sets together such that each master is proceeded by its duplicates.
Table description:
document_master_duplicates
(
documentid,
duplicate_setid,
is_master
)
This needs to join to another table briefcase_documents which contains our set of documents. The briefcase / document relationship is many-to-many.
Table description:
briefcase_documents
(
briefcaseid,
documentid
)
There's also a documents table containing the documentid and among other things a page_count. In the following example I want to sort the documents first by page count but preserving the master/dupe grouping. Any documents which don't belong to a set or are just a duplicate without a master i want at the end of my set but also ordered by page count.
Here's an example set that I would want to order by:
DocumentId Page_Count SetId Is_Master
2002 2 1 0
2003 20 2 0
2008 20 NULL NULL
2010 20 4 0
2012 1 4 1
2001 5 1 1
2004 16 3 1
2011 17 4 0
2014 10 5 0
2009 9 NULL NULL
As you can see I have a little bit of everything here. Docs 2001 and 2002 are the typical set of 1 master and its duplicate. Docs 2010, 2011, and 2012 is the same just a set of 3. Doc 2004 is a master but without any duplicates. Docs 2003 and 2014 are duplicates without a master (these docs have a master in the table but that doc isn't in the set i need to order by). Docs 2008 and 2009 do not belong to a set and as such do not have a master/dupe type.
The result i'm looking to achieve will be ordered as follows:
DocumentId Page_Count SetId Is_Master
2012 1 4 1
2011 17 4 0
2010 20 4 0
2001 5 1 1
2002 2 1 0
2004 16 3 1
2009 9 NULL NULL
2014 10 5 0
2003 20 2 0
2008 20 NULL NULL
As I said above I first want to get the groupings of master/dupes and order ascending on the masters page count. For each duplicate of a master I then want to order the duplicates by page count. After I finished ordering all the master/dupe groups I then want to move on to the rest of the documents which will contain documents that don't belong to a set along with documents which are duplicates but have no master in my set. However, documents which are masters but without duplicates should have been ordered along with the other master/dupes groupings.
With this all in mind I have just been completely overwhelmed as to where to even start. Am I using analytic functions? Hierarchical stuff?

I need to order the result set with different data types based on the input parameter.
select * from scott.emp sc order by decode('&input_parameter',1,sc.empno,2, sc.ename);
If the input_parameter is equals to 1 then,ordering should be based on EMPNO which is Number data type.
If the input_parameter is equals to 2 then,ordering should be based on ENAME which is Character Data type.
Above query was failed for input_parameter 2,as we know that decode should return same data type.

I have two Oracle instances that are setup identically.When I run a query on one of them, it takes around 3 seconds, on the other it takes around 200 seconds.
I have looked at the explain plans, and it has shown me what I think is the problem. On one instance, it does a join on two tables, then runs the other filter/access predicates. On the other instance it runs the filter/access predicated first, then does the expensice join. The one that does the join first is the one that takes around 200 seconds. How to tell Oracle to make this join after runnning the other predicates?

Using Application Express 4.2.1.00.08
Any problem using 4.2's One Level Tabs - Content Frame page where you have a parent region (of type content frame Body Container ) while number of child regions (of type Hide & Show Region - Borderless ), if you want to re-order them by changing the sequence, it has no effect when you run the page.
The regions still show in the same order top to bottom as it did before the update of sequences. Heading links (to show/hide child regons in content frames) has the same ordering as before.

I have this table :
column1 column2
--------- ---------
value1 value2
value1 value3
value2 value4
value3 value7
value7 value1
value8 value9
What I was trying to retrieve is something like that:
Quote:
output_column
---------------
value1, value2, value3, value4, value7
value8, value9
I don´t care about the order of the values in the row. In other words, I want to get disjoint sets of data connected by any of both values.Every pair in the input table is unique.
I have seen in the web that it is possible to do using connect by and hierarchical retrieving but I've been trying to make a lot of combinationts and I can reproduce the output.

whether Oracle has any capability of automatically checking which lossless compression algorithm it should apply by analyzing a data stream on data load? Does Oracle have any compression advisors/wizards that would make recommendations as to type and level of compression?

We have been recommended to store data in CLOD data type.
Sample data: 1:2:2000000:20000:4455:000099:444:099999:....etc it will grow to a large number.
We want to create a Unique index, for functional reason. Is it advised to create a unique index on a CLOB datatype?

I have few tables in Oracle 9i/10g , and they already have data in them. I am trying to migrate the data coming from various source systems into these Oracle tables. There is a chance that after loading I might get some unwanted data into these tables.
How do I remove just that data which I have loaded recently, and do not disturb the original data it already has.
Need to backup those tables and reload the data back if there is any problem, but I am looking at a different approach. I just don't want to change the existing system, as lot of users use the system.

DB Used : Oracle 10g.
A table X : NUM, INST are column names
NUM ----- INST
1234 ----- 23,22,21,78
2235 ----- 20,7,2,1
1298 ----- 23,22,21,65,98
9087 ----- 20,7,2,1
-- Based upon requirement :
1) Split values from "INST" Column : suppose 23
2) Find all values from "NUM" column for above splitted value i.e 23 ,
Eg:
For Inst : 23 ,
It's corresponding "NUM" values are : 1234,1298
3) Save these values into
A table Y : INST, NUM are column names.
INST NUM
23 1234,1298
1) I have a thousand records in Table X , and for all of those records i need to split and save data into Table Y.Hence, I need to do this task with best possible performance.
2) After this whenever a new data comes in Table X, above 'split & save' operation should automatically be called and append corresponding data wherever possible..

We are migrating a proc application as described below.
Old Env: UNIX
Old DB: Oracle 8i
New Env: Linux
New DB: Oracle 11g
New modules are successfully compiled in Linux environment. But we are facing issues in writing the output of VARCHAR datatype to a file.
find below the extract of code.
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
varchar mcolmnvarchar[4];
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
EXEC SQL DECLARE crs CURSOR FOR
SELECT NVL(colmn,' ') FROM table1
memset(mcolmnvarchar.arr,'�',4); //Was added for only Linux migration. Not present in unix env.
EXEC SQL FETCH c1 INTO :mcolmnvarchar;
cout << "Data at Stage one"<< mcolmnvarchar << endl;
mcolmnvarchar.arr[mcolmnvarchar.len]='�';
cout << "Data at Stage two"<< mcolmnvarchar << endl;
fprintf(fptr,"%-4s",mcolmnvarchar.arr);
Above code works absolutely fine in Unix env with Oracle 8i. But with Linux env & Oracle 11g it is not working. No compilation or run time errors. Data at Stage one prints the output of database properly. But after null terminator code, Data at Stage two statement prints without any value. Value is lost after null terminator code.

I am trying to transfer data from Oracle database table into another table resides in a SQL server 2008. A database link is already set, and data can be selected/queried using
select * from a_table@db_link
the thing is when trying to insert Arabic data from Oracle to a SQL server table
insert into a_table@db_link values(
'N''some data in Arabic'' ,
'11-oct-00',
'some data in English'
);
commit;
its inserted alright, but when we try to display the data it shows like this instead of displaying Arabic, the english data is alright, but also date show as garbage?!!
when trying to insert arabic data directly through SQL server its fine though.I suggested that we transfer data through ODBC to flat files like Acess and then to SQL server but the team rejected it since they're going to do it daily and the data is huge( we are talking more than 28000 records).
