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.
CREATE or replace function TEST(FINYEAR VARCHAR2)
RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
QRY_STRING VARCHAR2(1000);
BALANCE VARCHAR2(100);
[code]...
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected

SELECT country_name, substr(SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(product_name,','),2) as PRODUCT_NAME, substr(SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(SPEED_VALUE,','),2) as SPEED_VALUE, substr(SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(i.SUPPLIERNAME_ACCESSPROTYPE,','),2) as SUPPLIERNAME_ACCESSPROTYPE FROM (SELECT b.country_name,b.product_name,b.speed_value,(supplier_name|| supplier_product || access_product_type)as [code].......
In the result , I am getting repeated values for product_name and speed value,something like 'ALL Products,All Products,All Products'in the product_name column and '128Kbps,128Kbps'in Speed_vale.i am not able to remove the repeated values here.
Years ago, someone created a database in Oracle that was carried over and now sits in Oracle 10g. I am developing an application that queries this database and returns the result as XML.
Many (thousands) of rows have an item description that contains an ampersand. I want each of these pieces of data to have it written as & amp; (had to add a space so it would show up here, but you know what I mean) instead of &, but I don't feel like doing thousands of UPDATEs to change this.
Does Oracle have any global find/replace functions that I can call? I'd rather do one update statement that replaces all occurances of & with & amp; but I can't seem to find a function that will do this.
I'm thinking something that would work like:
UPDATE table SET column1=REPLACE(column1,oldstr,newstr);
I have a package includes 22 functions, each function just returns a sql template (clob type).
I also have a stored procedure called query_builder, query_builder has applicationName and statementName as parameters. I need to call these functions in the package based on the given applicationname and statementname.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Query_builder (ApplicationName varchar2, StatementName varchar2) IS SQLSkeleton varchar2; BEGIN PackageName := ApplicationName||'_SKELETON; SQLSkeleton := PackageName.StatementName; -- I know this will not work, but how can i call these function dynamically?
I'm trying to find a simple way of getting around this. I have a PL/SQL procedure which loops through a list of values in a table. These values are the actual names of the functions I want it to run in sequence. The problem is I can get the string value each time but I need to store the return value of each function into a number variable e.g.
BEGIN open all_tests; fetch all_tests BULK COLLECT INTO test_tabl; close all_tests;
for myindex IN 1..test_tabl.count LOOP
time_taken := test_source1 ==> this will work but how do I avoid hardcoding the name of the function to be executed and use the test_name value instead?? time_taken is declared as a number (ie the return value of each function is a number)
test_detail := test_tabl(myindex).test_name; ==> test_detail now contains the string name of the function dbms_output.put_line('Test detail is ' || test_detail); end loop;
I have created a VIEW with a column containing user-defined aggregated values(stores the output in varchar2 data type). Some of the records exceed the maximum limit, for example varchar2(4000). I was suggested a PL/SQL function to check the length and build a string if necessary..
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION SUBURL(col1 IN VARCHAR2, col2 IN varchar2) RETURN varchar2
[Code].....
Here, I got the following error,
Error(4,25): PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "," when expecting one of the following: := . ( @ % ; not null range default character
I have created a function that is used for splitting a comma separated string & give the output in tabular form.here is the function
Here I have used CLOB as my input string will be huge(greater than max limit of varchar2)
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE SPLIT_TBL_CLOB AS TABLE OF CLOB; CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION CSVTOSTRING_CLOB ( P_LIST CLOB, P_DEL VARCHAR2 := ',' ) RETURN SPLIT_TBL_CLOB PIPELINED
[code]....
But here I am facing 2 problems.
1. The function is not accepting a large string & I am getting the error
I need to remove the alpha characters from a string, leaving only numbers, but I am getting unexpected results:
SQL> SELECT TRANSLATE('3N', 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', NULL) a FROM DUAL; A -
I thought this would leave the 3 from the 3N, but it is returning an empty string. For my application, the string '3N' could be any length, will only contain letters and numbers, and the letters will always come at the end, but there could be more than one letter
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.
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;
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 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.
create table ot_Sale_code_head ( sale_code varchar2(12),code1 varchar2(6),code2 varchar(6),code3 varchar2(12)); insert into ot_Sale_code_head ('A','01.01',NULL,NULL); --inserted record in form will be 'A','01.01',NULL,'01.01' insert into ot_Sale_code_head ('B','01.01','PS-P',NULL); --inserted record in form will be 'B','01.01','PS-P','01.01.PS-P'
create or replace procedure ab(a in varchar2, b in varchar2) is test varcha2(8); begin if (a is not null) then for i in(select c from t where c between ||'''||a||'''|| and ||'''||b||'''||) loop test:=i.c end loop; end if; end;
I want both parameter input values to be enclosed in quotes so that it considers both parameter values as char.Receiving ora 00936 missing expression error.
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.
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 TRUNCATE INTO TABLE TABLEA TRAILING NULLCOLS ( file_type POSITION(1:5) CHAR, business_date POSITION(16:23) DATE "YYYYMMDD", create_file_name "FILE_NAME" EXPRESSION "SELECT TO_CHAR(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(3), 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS') FROM DUAL")
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'm facing some problem even after using INSTR function in Oracle.The problem is I have written the logic in the PL/SQL block which appends all the values fetched in a loop on the basis of whether the string is present or not.
For ex:
The first value fetched from the select query first is ABCDEFG which gets appended to a variable The next value fetched is AB even this has to be appended to the variable since this exactly doesn't match with ABCDEFG. The next value fetched is BCDEF even this has to be appended to the variable since this exactly doesn't match with ABCDEFG. The third Value fetched is ABCDEFG this will not get appended presently according to the logic which is correct.
writing that piece of code to append the value fetched which doesn't exactly match with the existing string
