SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Retrieve CLOB Data Using DISTINCT Keyword For Other Columns
Aug 2, 2012
I have one query regarding how to retrieve the CLOB data.
The requirement is something that in the select statement there are around 20+ columns which i need to retrieve from around 5 tables after joining.
Since the result set after joining also will get duplicate values i need to use distinct keyword to filter the resultset. But in the 20+ columns there are 2 CLOB data columns which i need to retrieve.
Whenever i use DISTINCT i'm getting ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB error. I know that DISTINCT keyword cannot be used for CLOB datatypes.
I am only able to extract only 4000 characters from the clob column "DESCRIPTION".how to get more characters or max for that column with the same query concept?
I have following query which gives currency code from two different tables. I would like to get the distinct count of currency codes from these two different columns.
SELECT eb.person_seq_id, eb.bonus_amount, eb.currency_cd, ed.currency_cd_host FROM fr_emp_bonuses eb, fr_emp_details ed, fr_periods p WHERE eb.person_seq_id = ed.person_seq_id AND ed.period_seq_id = eb.period_seq_id AND ed.period_seq_id = p.period_seq_id AND p.period_status = 'CURRENT' AND eb.bonus_amount >= 0 AND eb.person_seq_id = 3525125;
I've read so many different pages on this topic but I can't seem to get my query the way it needs to be. Here's the query:
select admitnbr, lastname||', '||firstname||' '||finitial, hphone, mobile, wphone, med_rec, dob from patients join schedule using (key_patien) join adtmirro using (key_patien) where appt_state = 'ON HOLD'
Because patients in my database can have multiple appointments "on hold" there are duplicates in the results. I only need 1 record per patient in order to forward this information into an automated dialer to contact that patient. I do NOT want to call the patient over and over again. Once will suffice. I'm trying to make a distinction on the column 'med_rec'. One row per 'med_rec' will be awesome but I can't find a way to create a distinct on that column.
Productcode Productname Quantity AF Ade Fgh 100 LO Ldo Ope 50 SK Ske Kro 47 ....
There may be any number of records in the table. Now I need to print distinct products in different columns such as.
AF LO SK 100 50 47
There may be any number of products...I need to print all those products as different columns as shown above. How to write the Stored procedure for this?
I am trying to get information about the columns of tables in Oracle databases. In MySQL, show columns provides good deal of information.But in Oracle, we do not have such equivalent call."describe" shows only the primary key.
But it does not show whether any column has unique constraint or an index.
I created a column in a table with unique constraint (but not a primary key), but it was not listed with CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'U' in dba_constraints view, but was listed with CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'C' - Check constraint.
<ORACLE VERSION : 11.2.0.2.0> i have created a table with CLOB as datatype for one of the columns, I am trying to store a string ( I am not sure about the length of the string) , when i am querying on my table for the CLOB column,instead of the actual string "(HUGECLOB)" is coming. How to get the actual string in case the problem is with the SIZE.
i have a table that contains employee id, employee name , so if i gave the correct employee id in where clause of select statement it will show employee name, in case if i give the employee id that does not exist in the table it will show 'Employee name is not found'..
I am writing a SQL inside an application to retrieve data from a table for certain IDs or for All employees based on the user's input. I create a variable :SELECTION for the where clause. When I run the SQL, I receive the error of missing right parenthesis. There is no error if I hard code the IDs.
If the input is 'All' -> the variable :SELECTION is blank so if the SQL :
select name, address, ID from employee :SELECTION
will be
select name, address, ID from employee
If the input of users ID as '1234','9999' - > the :SELECTION = ' where ID in (:VARIABLEID)' :VARIABLEID = '1234','9999'
so the SQL: select name, address, ID from employee :SELECTION
should be
select name, address, ID from employee where ID in ('1234','9999')
However, I got the missing right parenthesis error. I suspect it is something with the single quote, so I tried different ways, but it is still not working.
I am interested about the fast way to access all data in physical block. what is the quick way to bring data blocks using the rowid, I found this script but soon as I can have faster access:
select * from table_name t WHERE ROWID between 'AAAUaOAAEAAHkJiAAA' and 'AAAUaOAAEAAHkJiAA8'; where 'AAAUaOAAEAAHkJiAAA' is the last element in the block and 'AAAUaOAAEAAHkJiAA8' is the first one
my question is can retrieve all the data in one block more quick than this query.
I want to insert 1st two rows into Hierarchy table, then I would like to update Supervisor_2 to Supervisor_4. Here I don't want to use 'CONNECT BY PRIOR', as it take more time to execute (there are millions of records).SQL code for same.
1. For each of the Filename, if originating_site is not the same as receiving_site, it means that the file has been sent to receiving_site but has not been acknowledged received yet.
2. For each of the Filename, if originating_site is the same as receiving_site, it means the file has been sent and received by the receiving_site.
My task is to list out all the Filename per receiving_site that has been sent, but not received yet by the receiving_site. For example from the sample data above, I am expecting to see that siteA, fileB has not been received yet.
How can I do that? I had tried MINUS and NOT EXISTS command, but I am just not able to get the result that I want.
CREATE TABLE MAT (matrl varchar2(100), date_man date, weight number(10) );
INSERT INTO MAT(Matrl,DATE_MAN,WEIGHT) VALUES ('mat1','12-DEC-10',100); INSERT INTO MAT(Matrl,DATE_MAN,WEIGHT) VALUES ('mat2','13-DEC-10',200); INSERT INTO MAT(Matrl,DATE_MAN,WEIGHT) VALUES ('mat3','21-DEC-10',300); INSERT INTO MAT(Matrl,DATE_MAN,WEIGHT) VALUES ('mat4','26-DEC-10',400); INSERT INTO MAT(Matrl,DATE_MAN,WEIGHT) VALUES ('mat5','22-DEC-10',500); INSERT INTO MAT(Matrl,DATE_MAN,WEIGHT) VALUES ('mat6','02-DEC-10',600); INSERT INTO MAT(Matrl,DATE_MAN,WEIGHT) VALUES ('mat7','23-DEC-10',700); INSERT INTO MAT(Matrl,DATE_MAN,WEIGHT) VALUES ('mat8','07-DEC-10',800);
I am using LOV on some field to retrieve data, but sometimes it does not retrieve anything cause of unavailability of date its fine but i want to put N/A in that field when such condition is occurring .
I'm writing a PHP page to display some data from an Oracle database. Unfortunately, I can't copy the code because it's proprietary. One of the columns in the db is of type CLOB. I'm having trouble getting the data from the CLOB column.
The way the code is now, is there is a query string read into a variable, and the query string variable is read into a function that then retrieves the data from the db. Once the result set is returned, it is parsed to get data from all of the columns. The issue is that I've never worked with CLOB data before, so I'm having some difficulty extracting the data for that column. I know I can use the DBMS_LOB.READ function, but I'm not sure how to apply it in this case. The following is a generic form of the query string I'm using with b.clob_col being the column I'm having issues with.
$queryString = <<<EOD SELECT a.col1, a.col2, a.col3, b.col4, b.col5, b.clob_col, from table1 b inner join b.col4 on blah1 inner join a.col2 on blah2 where blah and blah EOD;
select * from testing Quote: ID NAME REDATA -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- 1 ABC,DEF,GHI,LKJ 000001 2 MNC,GHI,CTF 000002
2 rows selected
select * from testing where name like ('GHI,TCF');
now my output should be as above because GHI is common in both the names.if any of the where condition string matches the Name field then I need that record to be retrieved.
,i have a table called travel detail from which i have retrieved few rows based on 1 condition by using LOV and on next few rows modification is allowed. The rows are getting modified but it is also allowing me to enter in next blank row and insert any data in that row.how can i retrieve only that data which is based on the given condition. Further blank rows should not b displayed.
I'm trying to retrieve data with multiple select statements. The query works fine for 1 account (segment6) but fails for more than account. Below is the query.
I have a detailed block with a user ID column. The user name is not available in the block. Therefore, I have created a non-database column to retrieve the user name into it.
Here is the code I've used.
PROCEDURE get_details IS
iLoop number := 1;
CURSOR c is
SELECT FULL_NAME FROM GRP_EMPLOYEE WHERE EMPLOYEE_NUMBER = :USER_ID;
I have a table name as angdata77 having attributes like asigno..i want to retrieve data from angdata77 by using both group by & order by clauses.. for total count..am using the query as
