I've read some documentation about the reverse key indexes, but I haven't understood when really it can be useful use them. when it's smart to use them according to your experiences?
I have table having a single column a, which contain the values "HP Laptop", can search it in either way , i mean to say either user input the HP Laptop or Laptop HP? is it possible via SQL query ?
difference between the ways we create Reverse Key Index on the table.The two ways are as below:
1) CREATE INDEX <Index_Name> ON <Table_Name>(<Column_Name) REVERSE ; 2) CREATE INDEX <Index_Name> ON<Table_Name>(REVERSE(<Column_Name>)) ;
Which one is the appropraite one. Are both going to act in the same way.
I created index in both ways one by one on the table.But when I fire the select statement against the same table, The explain plan doesn't show any cost and it shows the full table scan in both ways.The select statement used is as below...I want to compare the column with string RBO(i.e('RBO%') at the start.
SELECT * FROM <Table_Name> WHERE REVERSE (<Column_Name>) LIKE '%OBR' ;
The select statement is giving me the correct result. Only the explain plan is showing Full Table Scan.can we use this reverse with IN operator also in the same way by reversing the values.
The Text is displayed correctly when there is no "Arabic comma" ، , otherwise the text will be reversed, How can I avoid the issue, why we have such problem only when we add the comma. The screenshot: s10.postimage.org/8qw1l8621/Arabic_comma.png
Currently, I'm reading the online book Oracle Concepts, Chapter 3: 3 Indexes and Index-Organized Tables, section: Reverse Key Indexes in order to understand this topic.
As I understand for each pair of (key, rowid) in the index structure, the rowid for each row in the table obviously remains the same but the bytes of the key are reversed before the key is stored. So for example on a 32 bit machine (just an example) a key = 10 AB CD EF will be stored as FE DC BA 01 , am I right?
According to the documentation, this becomes interesting in RAC environments in order to remove a hot spot from the index (when multiple instances repeatedly modify the same block) with the disadvantage that in some cases there cannot be Index Range Scan any more as data in the index is not sorted by column key when it is stored.
I was just curious to see how bytes of each key are reversed and after a bit googling I found an article where Tom Kyte shows with an example by using dump function (which as I understand gives the internal representation of a given expression) the difference in the sequence of bytes. Here is the link
[URL]
So based on his instructions I tried to do my own test, yet I don't get the same result, that is, the bytes are not reversed for me once we rebuild the index by REVERSE key word.
I'm going to write down here the test that I did, where is/are my error(s)
Test Case: (I use a copy of the employees table in hr sample schema) SQL> CREATE TABLE emp_test AS SELECT * FROM hr.employees; Table created. SQL> CREATE INDEX emp_test_idx ON emp_test(first_name);
[code]...
Now, a test SQL Query using the index we've just defined (just for giving an example)
SQL> SELECT first_name, 2 dump(first_name, 16) as dump_result 3 FROM emp_test 4 WHERE first_name = 'Kelly';
FIRST_NAME DUMP_RESULT -------------- ---------------------------------- Kelly Typ=1 Len=5: 4b,65,6c,6c,79
[code]...
So, according to the above Execution plan, Oracle does an Index Range Scan using the index that I defined on my table that is, emp_test_idx. According to the output of dump, the key (first_name) in that index is stored (in terms of bytes) as 4b,65,6c,6c,79
Which as we can see corresponds to the first name 'Kelly', the first name we specified in the above SQL query.
Now let's rebuild the index
SQL> ALTER INDEX emp_test_idx REBUILD REVERSE; Index altered. SQL>
Once the index keys have been reversed, I run the very same query in order to see the difference
SQL> SELECT first_name, 2 dump(first_name, 16) as dump_result 3 FROM emp_test 4 WHERE first_name = 'Kelly';
[code]...
So the second time after the index has been reversed, I still get the very same sequence of bytes, that is, 4b,65,6c,6c,79, whereas I expected to get 79,6c,6c,65,4b (that is, the reversed order of the initial bytes sequence)
I have to display a record in column format. I have tried doing it using COUNT & DECODE as in below script.
SELECT COUNT (DECODE (a1.application_status, 21, a1.ppid, NULL)) cnt_app21, COUNT (DECODE (a1.application_status, 22, a1.ppid, NULL)) cnt_app22 FROM (SELECT a.application_status application_status, a.ppid ppid FROM vp_recon_upload_dtls a, vp_ppid_upload_info b
[Code]...
This gives output as:-
cnt_app21 cnt_app21 3 1
The second query is little different from above as it has 2 more tables joined and more conditions than first query.
SELECT SUM (DECODE (a2.application_status, 21, a2.rate_amount, NULL)) sum_app21, SUM (DECODE (a2.application_status, 22, a2.rate_amount, NULL)) sum_app22 FROM (SELECT a.application_status application_status, d.rate_amount rate_amount FROM vp_recon_upload_dtls a,
[Code]....
Second query output is :-
SUM_APP21 SUM_APP21 222 111
My requirement is to display all the four values in one row as:-
I want a function that'll execute a query and return the whole table record then i need to somehow pick a column in that record and return the data in that column
So like
function something(p_param varchar2) return table_record something('blah).employee_number
I am trying to only display a column value one time for a record, not a static value. The value changes and there can be many values. I do not think grouping will work since the Date value is dynamic. I am using Oracle for Toad 10.5. There are 4 records with this test data.
select Date, Person, Language, Country from TableATableA Date Person Language Country 01/25/2013 James English 12/20/2012 James English US
earlier the query was running on same record group but i hav to delete some code so i did but after made such changes itreturns this error.but still query is correct i complied on toad.
I am loading data file using SQL Loader in TOAD 10.5.1.3 in Oracle 10g using the control file below and loading data into 2 tables post1.thead and post1.tdetl. THEAD contains item level transaction and TDETL is detail level when a transaction has a discount or promo attached to for that item. When the
LOAD DATA APPEND INTO TABLE post1.thead WHEN (1:5) = 'THEAD' TRAILING NULLCOLS (file_type POSITION(1:5)CHAR,
[code]....
A particular THEAD value may have 0, 1 or many TDETL corresponding values.below is a sample data file. When the position 21 in the TTAIL has a value of 1 or 2, then we know that there is a promo or discount applicable to the ITEM (THEAD).
What I want to acheive is to accurately reflect a TDETL to its corresponding THEAD, as both THEAD and TDETL are loaded into separate tables. How can we have the 2 records correlated?
I have a table which contains the multiple records for single ID No. Now i have to select single record which contains the latest date. here is the structure Name

now i have to select below 2 rows how can write select qurie for this?
I have a fairly standard Purchase Order form which contains pre-loaded data (been uploaded from an XML file).When the Purchase Order is processed, the form updates a Price History table only if the Price on the PO_Details changes.The code for updating the price history table is contained in a PRE_UPDATE trigger on the PO_Details Data Block.
No other data changes on the PO_Details table.I now want to change this so that the Price History table is updated even if the price does not change i.e I want to create a history record for each record on the PO_Details irrespective of whether it was updated or not.
Is there an alternative trigger that I can move my code to (ie move it from PRE_UPDATE) to some other trigger that is fired for each PO_Details record even if there is no change.
I need to create a query that returns record by record a field qty_progr with the cumulate qty considering previous records. The result should be the following:
Using 11gR2, windows 7 client machine. I need to update the table missing_volume (below), where I need to calculate the estimated_missing column. The calculation of estimated_missing column for current month needs previous month numbers (as commented inside the code below). I want the output like the first table. Notice the records start from January, hence estimated_missing for January can't be calculated, but for the the rest of the months it can be done by simply changing 'yr' and 'mnth' (commented inside the code towards the end).
yr mnth location volume actual_missing expected_missing estimated_missing --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2013 January loc1 48037 24 57 2013 February loc1 47960 3660 53 24 2013 March loc1 55007 78 57 28 2013 April loc1 54345 72 58 77The code:
UPDATE missing_volume g
[Code]....
The code does calculate correct number for 'estimated_missing' as I run the code for each month, but the problem is while updating the current month it also erases the record for previous month. E.g. as can be seen below, after I updated April the column only has the record for April, previous month record is gone, similarly updating March removed February, etc. I can't understand why it's happening!! Here is the output I get:
yr mnth location volume actual_missing expected_missing estimated_missing --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2013 January loc1 48037 24 57 2013 February loc1 47960 3660 53 2013 March loc1 55007 78 57 2013 April loc1 54345 72 58 77
why it's happening (I mean where is the flaw in the code) and how to get the desired output (first table).
I have one hirarchical query which return the parent to child hirarch level data. it has 11 level child data. i want to create column based on number of child in hirarchy. though i know it is 11 but it can change also.Is there any way i can create the column dynamically
On my APEX page i have region which has sql query as source and it displays as HTML table the query result to the user.
I want to display addinonal column with a hyperlink inside, and that hyperlink would have CGI/URL-parameters which contains the other values of the HTML row.
So, let's say my APEX region queryes columns as "select c1, c2, c3, c4 ..." and displays out values "V1, V2, V3, V4" then i want to have addional output column with such hyperlink:
a href="f?p=100:7:13467554876288::NO::c1,c2,c3,c4:v1,v2,v3,v4">My link column with CGI-parameters</aHow can i create such hyperlink?
The overall idea is that the link would forward to a page which loads those values "v1,v2,v3,v4" into form fields and user can proceed from there.
I'm trying to do a pivot query in oracle to get the years from a column and make a separate column for each. I found an example of the code to use on the internet and i changed it for my own tables but i'm getting errors. Namely a "FROM keyword not where expected" error at the beginning of the 'avg(...' statements.
I have copied the code used in
select stud_id, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 from ( select stud_id, avg(case when year=2006 then ((present/poss)*100) else null end) 2006, avg(case when year=2007 then ((present/poss)*100) else null end) 2007, avg(case when year=2008 then ((present/poss)*100) else null end) 2008, avg(case when year=2009 then ((present/poss)*100) else null end) 2009 from attendance.vw_all_attendance_perc group by stud_id );
(1) how can i fill some value in a table column based on some existing column value automatically without user intervention. my actual problem is i have 'expiry date' column and 'status'. the 'status' column should get filled automatically based on the current system date. ex: if expiry date is '25-Apr-2011' and current date is '14-May-2011', then status should be filled as 'EXPIRED'
(2)hOw can i build 'select' query in a report (report 6i) so that it will show me list of items 'EXPIRED' or 'NOT EXPIRED' or both expired and not expired separately in a single report based on user choice. 'EXPIRED' & 'NOT EXPIRED' can be taken from the above question no. 1.
<Column name> value 1 value 2 value 3 . . . value n
Since the column is small it can fit in a page more then one time. I know how to make it print more then once: i switch the repeating frame to print down and across and i modify the frame that contains it so the horizontal elasticity is variable.
After these changes my report looks like this: <Column name> value 1-----------------------value n+1-----------------------value m+1 value 2-----------------------value n+2-----------------------value m+2 value 3-----------------------value n+3-----------------------... .------------------------------- . .------------------------------- . .------------------------------- . value n-----------------------value m
What i want is my report to look like this:
<Column name>-------<Column name>------------<Column name> value 1-----------------------value n+1-----------------------value m+1 value 2-----------------------value n+2-----------------------value m+2 value 3-----------------------value n+3-----------------------... .------------------------------- . .------------------------------- . .------------------------------- . value n-----------------------value m
I have written the code for sql loader, I have given termination of file is | , i have given five columns name in sequence...My Requirement is that i want to mapped 100th column from Csv file after 5th column how to do it.
OPTIONS (ERRORS=100000000) LOAD DATA CHARACTERSET UTF8 INTO TABLE "TARGET_STG_AMC" TRUNCATE [code]....
We are using Oracle 11g with Apex 3.2 on AIX. We are reporting data from customer satisfaction surveys. I'm using the following sql to create my report
<code>select * from( select month,'Overall Satisfaction' as q_group, 1 as srt,Overall Satisfaction,site, case when count(*) < 31 then '*' else round((sum(ttos)/count(*))*100,0)||'/'|round((sum(bfos)/count(*))*100,0)||'/'||count(*) end ospct from v_XXX_report a,(select distinct month_dt month from v_XXX_report) b where Overall_Satisfaction is not null and year_dt = 2012
[Code]....
The problem is that site is not allways present and sometimes I have other variables in addition to site. This creates a situation where the month columns will not allways appear at the same column number. For example, When I run this query as is then the "JAN" column is Col3 (first column is a break, col2 is not shown). When I run this query without site then "JAN" is the second column. I would like to create column links for the "JAN" - "DEC" columns but not for any other columns.
Another issue - in the column link creation screen I can create up to 3 variables that I can pass to the next page. Since my query is a pivot I'm uncertain how to pass the column heading or the row value (for col2)
ie Overall Satisfaction JAN FEB MAR APR MAY ... Overall Satisfaction 12/12/200 12/12/210 12/12/220 12/12/230 12/12/240... Recommend 12/12/200 12/12/210 12/12/220 12/12/230 12/12/240... etc.
So if I clicked on the values at Recommend:FEB how can I get "Recommend" and "FEB" into variables that I can use on the next page? I've tried #column_name#, #month#, #q_name# and #APEX_APPLICATION.G_F10# but no luck.
