I have a table which has a not null column. the column is date field. I am trying to change it to Null. But it is giving a error.
I am using below query.
ALTER TABLE T_test
modify (paid_to_date null)
I need to list a count of rows where a DATE field is not null and group those counts by day.
Here's my sql so far...
SELECT
COUNT(DQ_DISTRBTN_DATE) as DQR_DIST,
DQ_DISTRBTN_DATE as DIST_DATE
from
ETL_PROCESS.BATCH
group by
DQ_DISTRBTN_DATE;
Because DQ_DISTRBTN_DATE contains time, how do I modify to achieve the desired result?
when i follow this steps mention on this website
[URL].........
to modify column from null to not null i got this error and on this website its show successful
my steps are
first i create a table
SQL> create table Stu_Table(Stu_Id varchar(2), Stu_Name varchar(10),
2 Stu_Class varchar(10));
Table created.
Then insert some rows into Stu_Table
SQL> insert into Stu_Table (Stu_Id, Stu_Name) values(1,'Komal');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into Stu_Table (Stu_Id, Stu_Name) values(2,'Ajay');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into Stu_Table (Stu_Id, Stu_Name) values(3,'Rakesh');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into Stu_Table (Stu_Id, Stu_Name) values(4,'Bhanu');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into Stu_Table (Stu_Id, Stu_Name) values(5,'Santosh');
1 row created.
SQL> select * from Stu_Table;
ST STU_NAME STU_CLASS
-- ---------- ----------
1 Komal
2 Ajay
3 Rakesh
4 Bhanu
5 Santosh
Table Structure is like this
SQL> Describe Stu_Table
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
STU_ID VARCHAR2(2)
STU_NAME VARCHAR2(10)
STU_CLASS VARCHAR2(10)
now when i try to modify this Stu_id column to not null its give me error.
SQL>ALTER TABLE Stu_Table MODIFY Stu_Id int(3)not null;
ALTER TABLE Stu_Table MODIFY Stu_Id int(3)not null
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01735: invalid ALTER TABLE option
and when i try to add new column with not null its also gives me error
SQL> ALTER TABLE Stu_Table add C1_TEMP integer NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE Stu_Table add C1_TEMP integer NOT NULL
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01758: table must be empty to add mandatory (NOT NULL) column
I have the following query:
select col_1,col_9 from
book_temp b
where b.col_1 is not null
order by to_number(b.col_16)
;
What I want to add is the following:
COL_9
=====
NULL
A
B
NULL
C
D
E
F
NULL
G
I need to connect the NON-NULL rows to the preceding NULL row.
I am running a GROUP BY query on a few columns of enumerated data like:
select count(*), Condition, Size
group by Condition, Size;
COUNT(*) CONDITION SIZE
-------- ---------- --------
3 MINT L
2 FAIR L
4 FAIR M
1 MINT S
Well, let's say I also have a timestamp field in the database. I cannot run a group by with that involved because the time is recorded to the milisec and is unique for every record. Instead, I want to include this in my group by function based on whether or not it is NULL.
For example:
COUNT(*) CONDITION SIZE SOLDDATE
-------- ---------- -------- ----------
3 MINT L ISNULL
2 FAIR L NOTNULL
2 FAIR M NOTNULL
2 FAIR M ISNULL
1 MINT S ISNULL
I have encountered a weird (or maybe not weird at all but unexplainable from my point of view) behavior from Oracle. I have simplified the example as much as possible
This query returns 2 rows as expected:
with edited as
(select F101, e_id from (select 'Test' F101, -1 e_id from dual
union all select 'Test1' F101, -2 e_id from dual) input_clob),
distinct_intermediate_edited as
[code]...
But this one (with only one row in input_clob) returns one row (as expected) but with null on e_id (why?):
with edited as
(select F101, e_id from (select 'Test' F101, -1 e_id from dual) input_clob),
distinct_intermediate_edited as
(select e.f101, e.e_id
from edited e
[code]...
If I change the join condition with and nvl(e.E_id,0) = nvl(e_id,0) both cases work as I expect (e_id = -1 for second query) but I simply want an explication for this behavior.
I need to load a file with fields separated by '|^|' and at end of each record has '||*||'.
So in my ctl file what do i mention ? fields terminated by '|^|' ? for the record termination wat should I say?
Should I still mention 'trailing null col' in my ctl file...?
Sample data file:
Name|^|Age|^|city||*||
john|^|33|^|||*||
james|^||^|nyc||*||
ken|^|44|^|
washington||*||
the fields are properly terminated with |^| and the records are terminated with ||*||. Is it true that a file with |^| as field terminator cannot be loaded with sqlldr?
create table test
(
id int ,
dat date
)
/
I want to implement a business rule such as we have for each id at most 1 dat null. So, I've created this unique index on test.
create unique index x_only_one_dat_cess_null on test(id, case when dat_cess is null then 'NULL' else to_char(dat_cess, 'dd/mm/yyyy') end);
insert into test values (1, sysdate);
insert into test values (1, sysdate - 1);
insert into test values (1, null);
insert into test values (1, null);
-- -----
insert into test values (2, sysdate);
insert into test values (2, sysdate - 1);
insert into test values (2, null);
The 4th insert will cause an error and this is what I wanted to implement. OK. Now the problem is that for non-null values of dat, we can't have data like this
iddat
------------
124/10/2013
123/10/2013
123/10/2013
1
because of the unique index (the 2nd and the 3rd row are equal). So just for learning purposes, how could we allow at most one null value of dat and allow duplicates for non-null values of dat.
I have a BI Suite implementation on one server. And a database with ApEx on another server.
I want to call a BIP report from within my ApEx application using the webservices (runReport) available in BIP 11g.
I used soapUI to test my webservice. Result : OK
When called from within ApEx, ApEx gives me a succes message but the report isn't generated. Instead the console on the BIP server shows the following error:
<Sep 12, 2012 10:28:37 PM BST> <Error> <org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanPropert
yTarget> <BEA-000000> <Could not convert null to bean field 'sizeOfDataChunkDown
load', type int>
'sizeOfDataChunkDownload' is a field of the webservice that is left empty. That indeed is the only difference between my soapUI test and the ApEx situation. In soapUI I removed all empty fields. In ApEx this does not seem possible...
Some extra information:
- the webservice is created on this WSDL : /xmlpserver/services v2/ReportService?wsdl
- it's defined as a SOAP v2
- no basic authentication
- the reports are defined in the BIP environment; not in ApEx

I have Event_month, Event_date in SELECT statement. Results of the query has NULL values as well.. I am doing ORDER BY Event_month, and I want NULL values to be at the top..
SELECT d.event_code_dt, count(d.event_number) count1
FROM main_event a,sec_event d
WHERE a.event_id = d.event_id(+)
GROUP BY d.event_code_dt
ORDER BY d.event_code_dt, count(d.event_number) desc
Results are like this
11-MAY-10
21-MAY-10
22-MAY-10
NULL
And I want results to be like this:
NULL
11-MAY-10
21-MAY-10

create table top22 (timed timestamp);
insert into top22(timed)
values (current timestamp),(null);
select timed from top22;
2013-01-14 10:50:22.17
NULL
select 'no is '||coalesce("num",'') from "bifrost"."top22"
getting error in DB2
if i remove this coalesce function
select 'no is '||timed from "bifrost"."top22"
no is 2013-01-14 10:50:22.17
NULL
but i need the second result is no is null
i've got a project and im wondering whether it is possible to create an if statement that says something like
"If column A is NOT NULL then column B cannot be NULL"
would I have to do this as a trigger or a constraint?
I have 8 columns. Some of them might be null.I want to display all 8 columns in my result. Not null columns will be first and null at the end.Here is a sample data :
Employee table :
Employee_id Emp_fname emp_lname emp_mname dept salary emp_height emp_weight
1 aaa ddd d1 100 6 180
2 bbb ccc 120 169
3 dfe d2 5.9 223
The expected result is :
result1 result2 result3 result4 result5 result6 result7 result8
1 aaa ddd d1 100 6 180
2 bbb ccc 120 169
3 dfe d2 5.9 223
I have a table with column A which contains very few null values. I need to select these rows. I am considering two options:
a) create function based index on NVL(A, 0) and use this in where clause NVL(A, 0)=0 (column doesn't have values 0)
b) create function based index on NVL2(A, 0, NULL) and and use this in where clause NVL2(A, 0, NULL) = 0
First idea was option A. But I realized in option B the index will be much smaller, because most of values of column A isn't NULL so NVL2 will return NULL and index will not have as much leafs as in NVL. It is good idea to use NVL2? Is there any against to use option B instead of A?
I have a table with columns emp_i, LOC_C and SUBSID_C. I want to find all emp_i's with LOC_C OR SUBSID_C as always NULL. Please note that the value should be NULL, always, for all dates.
--------------------------------------------
EX:
emp_i----LOC_C---SUBSID_C--Eff_Date
100------20------30--------01/01/2011
101------NULL----10--------05/01/2011
102------NULL----NULL------02/01/2011
101------20------NULL------02/01/2011
102------NULL----NULL------05/01/2011
103------NULL----20--------01/01/2011
103------NULL----NULL------02/01/2011
--------------------------------------------
The query ---
should return 102 as LOC_C OR SUBSID_C is ALWAYS NULL.
should return 103 as LOC_C is ALWAYS NULL.
should not return 101, as LOC_C is not ALWAYS NULL.
In other words, the query should give list of emp_i who never ever had a non-null value for LOC_C OR SUBSID_C. The purpose is to find the emp_i for which the columns LOC_C and SUBSID_C are never used.
I tried the query:
---------------------------------------------------
SELECT DISTINCT ORG_EMP_I FROM tab1
WHERE ORG_GRP_I = 58
AND ORG_EMP_I NOT IN (
SELECT DISTINCT org_emp_i
FROM tab1 ap
WHERE ap.ORG_GRP_I = 58
AND trim(ap.LOC_C) IS NOT NULL OR ap.ORG_SBSID_C IS NOT NULL )
---------------------------------------------------
I'm working on a Oracle Database, and I'm gettin incorrect results when including a date field in the select list which is NULL in the table.
This works correctly and returns exactly one row:
SELECT firstField FROM table WHERE firstField = 'value'
while this doesn't and returns no rows:
SELECT firstField, secondField FROM table WHERE firstField = 'value'
Where secondField is of type date and its value is NULL (00-000-00). Note that the only thing that changes is the select list.
I have 3 columns in a table: colX, colY, colZ.
Trying to find a way to prevent duplicates with these, but only if colX is not null.
For example, if there are already values for: colX = 1, colY = 1, colZ = 1
then:
Allowed: colX = null, colY = 1, colZ = 1
Not allowed: colX = 1, colY = 1, colZ = 1
I can't create a unique constraint on these columns because there are many null values for column colX, and as mentioned, when colX is null, colY and colZ can be any values.
I also tried using a before insert trigger to find duplicates before posting and raise an error if found, but this causes an ORA-04091 mutating error since the trigger in the table is referencing itself to check for duplicates.
Also, I know there is something called a function based index, but I cannot use those with my code, so I need another solution if possible.
I am having following table, and below are the out put and desired output.
CREATE TABLE tbl1
(
mon VARCHAR2(10)
, grp VARCHAR2(50)
, visits NUMBER
, redirect VARCHAR(50)
)
;
[Code]....
Query:
SELECT
mon
, grp
, SUM(visits)
FROM
tbl1
WHERE
redirect IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY mon, grp
;
Output:
May-12 Green 16
May-12 Blue 20
May-12 Yellow 13
Desired Output:
May-12 Green 16
May-12 Blue 20
May-12 Yellow 13
May-12 Red 0
May-12 Orange 0
How can this be acheived?
I'm having trouble creating a view that has a not null column. Using this script you can see that the resulting table doesn't have a not null constraint for the first column even though both source columns for that row are not null. Is there anyway to force the view to mark that first column as not null? (I need it for ODP.NET otherwise I get an error there)

CREATE table MYTABLE

col2 number(2)) ;

Our organization is attempting to learn more about the partitioning features of Oracle 11g. I've been reading the partitioning manuals, and I have not found a clear answer on this topic, but I suspect I know the answer.
If you create a range partitioned table; using interval partitioning, say something like this:
CREATE table range_parti (
CODE NUMBER(5),
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(50),
CREATED_DATE DATE)
PARTITION BY RANGE (created_date)
INTERVAL (NUMTOYMINTERVAL(1,'MONTH'))
(
PARTITION my_parti VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-NOV-2007','DD-MON-YYYY'))
);
but you try to insert a null value as the partition key, you get the following error:
SQL> INSERT INTO range_parti VALUES (1,'one',NULL);
INSERT INTO range_parti VALUES (1,'one',NULL)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-14400: inserted partition key does not map to any partition
Elapsed: 00:00:00.07
Is there no way to tell it to use a default partition for NULL values? Or specifically designate a partition for NULL values WITHOUT having to manually list out each partition? It seems it works if you don't use the INTERVAL keyword, list out your partitions, and use MAXVALUE. However, our hope to avoid having that as it creates monstrously huge DDL statements for tables that have lots of date ranges, and we will be forced to manually add new partitions each month as data is added/time passes.
It appears from my experience so far, if your column can allow nulls, you cannot use interval range partitioning on that column.
In V$Archived_log, the column "name" showed No any content?

In the below code, do I need the 'NOT NULL' after the 'state char(2)'? I am guessing that I do not need it since I have the CHECK constraint on the column.
CREATE TABLE employee(
id PRIMARY KEY,
first varchar(20) NOT NULL,
middle varchar(20),

I have a table with multiple rows for the KEY attribute(its not a primary key) and a Rank for each row.
I want a query which fetches one row per KEY attribute.The row with lesser Rank should be considered. But in-case if the value is null for any column the value for next Rank should be considered.
WITH TMP_TBL AS
(
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT 'A' DUN,'1' RNK,'A21' col1,NULL col2,'A41' col3,NULL col4 FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'A','2','A122','A23',NULL,NULL FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'A','3','A32','A33',NULL,'A35' FROM dual
[code].......
DUN is the KEY attribute . RNK is the Rank for each Row. COL1... COL4 are data attributes
The results I am expecting is
DUNCOL1 COL2 COL3 COL4
AA21 A23 A41 A35
BB12 B23 B15
CC12 C13 C33 C14
I want this to be done with SQL only. So I tried various ways but none were successful.Finally I created a Multi Row function row_nvl and it worked.
SELECT DUN,
row_nvl(rownvl_param_type(RNK,col1)),
row_nvl(rownvl_param_type(RNK,col2)),
row_nvl(rownvl_param_type(RNK,col3)),
row_nvl(rownvl_param_type(RNK,col4))
FROM TMP_TBL
GROUP BY DUN
But I don't think my manager will allow me to deploy a Multi Row function .

I have table with the values as below.
C1C2C3C4

NAMEROBERT60XYZ
I dont want to print the repeated value(NAME) of C1 multiple times as below.
C1C2C3C4
NAMEJOHN10ABC
SMITH30DEF
ROBERT60XYZ
I could do it using the below query using union with the rownum.
select * from (
select rownum rn, c1,c2,c3,c4 from table_new
) where rn =1
union
select * from (
select rownum rn, decode(c1,null,null),c2,c3,c4 from table_new
) where rn between 2 and 3
Is there any other way of displaying using a single sql query.

I am having issue with IMPDP on ORACLE VIRTUAL COLUMNS.I am having following table with Virtual column defined with Not null. Expdp is fine without any issue.
DDL :
------
CREATE TABLE alert_hist
(
alertky INTEGER NOT NULL,
alertcreatedttm TIMESTAMP(6) DEFAULT systimestamp NOT NULL,
alertcreatedt DATE GENERATED ALWAYS AS (To_date(Trunc("alertcreatedttm"))) VIRTUAL NOT NULL
When I do the import (IMPDP) it got failed with the following error.
. . imported "TESTSCHEMA"."VALART" 359.1 KB 4536 rows
ORA-31693: Table data object "TESTSCHEMA"."ALERT_HIST" failed to load/unload and is being skipped due to error:
ORA-39097: Data Pump job encountered unexpected error -1
After that I dropped the Virtual Not null column and recreated that column with Nullable.
DDL :
-----
alter table alert_hist drop column alertcreatedt;
alter table alert_hist add alertcreatedt DATE GENERATED ALWAYS AS (To_date(Trunc("alertcreatedttm"))) VIRTUAL;
After that I took the expdp and impdp , it went fine with out any issue.
