My requirement is to concatenate two column values and place them in a new column.I have done it using self join but it limits the purpose,meaning when I have more than 2 values for grouped columns then it won't work.How to make this dynamic,so that for any number of columns grouped,I can concatenate.
SELECT a.co_nm, a.mnfst_nr, a.mnfst_qty, a.mnfst_nr || ':' || a.mnfst_qty || ';' || b.mnfst_nr || ':' || b.mnfst_qty FROM vw_acao_critical a JOIN vw_acao_critical b ON a.co_nm = b.co_nm AND a.mnfst_nr = b.mnfst_nr [code]......
What will be the case when I need to concatenate for more number of values.
like when co_nm has three bahs and manfst_nr and manfst_qty has 3 values for each for bah.and if three are having same_mnfst nr then I should use something dynamic.how to achieve this.
INSERT INTO t_category m( m.service_id, m.customer_id) SELECT u.service_id, (SELECT p.add_data FROM t_add p WHERE p.service_id=u.service_id AND p.add_type='CUSTOMER_ID') FROM t_iservice u
I got this error: ORA-01722: invalid number. The problem is m.customer_id has data type NUMBER, p.add_data is VARCHAR.
I have a problem when executing the statement below querying a specific ID# in view
select * from VW_MML_LTR_MSTR where LTR_ID = 26 order by CLNT_CDE ,LTR_GRP, ltr_purp_id, LTR_CDE
I checked the data type acquired by the view and the table involved and confirmed that it was of number type.Weird thing for me is that I changed the where statement as
where LTR_ID LIKE 26 where LTR_ID != 25
Is this on the database settings? What should be done here?

I have a pkg with a procedure that uses dbms_sql to process a varchar2_table. Each record in the table is a delimited string, such as "Priority^2", or "Destination^7". The goal is to split that string on the hat and update a record in the panelfield_users table. It works perfectly if I replace the first substr/instr on :pColumn with a hardcoded number, so I know that the binding is working to that point. It is only when I try to get the latter half of the string that it chokes. I keep getting a "invalid number" error. The displayorder field is an integer field and all values will be 3 digits or less. If I pull the sql string out into an editor, it runs just lovely.
The pertinent code is: C := DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR; DBMS_SQL.PARSE(C,'update panelfield_users set displayorder = to_number(substr(:pColumn, instr(:pColumn, ''^'') + 1)) where userid = :pUID and fieldid = (select fieldid from panel_fields where upper(panelname) = upper(:pPanel) and upper(modulename) = upper(:pModule) and upper(field_displayname) = upper(substr(:pColumn, 1, instr(:pColumn, ''^'')-1)) )
I have to ask a pretty basic question (my pl/sql skills need serious work). I need to validate that a string can be converted to a number, and if it can't be, substitute something else. This works:orcl> create or replace function jw_to_number(str varchar2) return number is
2 n number; 3 begin 4 n := to_number(str); 5 return n; 6 exception when others then return 0; 7 end; 8 /
Function created.
orcl> select jw_to_number('a') from dual; JW_TO_NUMBER('A') ----------------- 0 orcl>
but of course I don't want to use WHEN OTHERS. So I tried this:orcl> create or replace function jw_to_number(str varchar2) return number is
2 n number; 3 begin 4 n := to_number(str); 5 return n; 6 exception when INVALID_NUMBER then return 0; 7 end; 8 /
Function created.
orcl> select jw_to_number('a') from dual; select jw_to_number('a') from dual * ERROR at line 1: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error ORA-06512: at "SCOTT.JW_TO_NUMBER", line 4 orcl>I
thought this would replace the standard error handler with my own, but it doesn't. I tried redeclaring the pre-defined exception, same result.
REVNUMBER is a VARCHAR2. I've set it to increment by letter in alphabet to note the revision of a document, i.e. IR*, A, B, C... . This works beautifully.
VERNUMBER is a VARCHAR2. I've set it to increment by number but starts from null to 'IR' to 1, 2, 3...
Until now, I've been incrementing VERNUMBER without problem if, instead of IR as the first incremented value I leave the field null. The user has asked that IR display. I've tried using IR as the default but I still need to increment from there so I don't see it making a difference between that or dumping it as the first condition of the following. The problem is I get an invalid number error either way.
*'IR' = 'Initial Release'
SELECT CASE WHEN VERNUMBER IS NULL THEN 'IR' WHEN VERNUMBER = 'IR' THEN '1' ELSE REGEXP_REPLACE(VERNUMBER, '[0-9]+$', REGEXP_SUBSTR(UPPER(VERNUMBER), '[0-9]+$') + 1) END NEW_VERSION FROM DOC_INFO WHERE DOC_INFO_ID = :P3_DOC_INFO_ID
Enviroment is Embarcadero RAD Studio XE. Work with DataSnap WebBroker Application. Its Server methods ancestor is TDSServerModule.
I've got SQLConnection (dbx), SQLDataSet, DataSetProvider on server side and SQLConnection, DSProviderConnection, ClientDataSet plus DataSource, DBGrid, DBNavigator on client side. SQLConnection on server side uses Oracle driver - dbxora.dll. DB: Oracle 11g. SQLConnection on client side uses Datasnap driver. SQLDataSet has DbxCommandType set to Dbx.SQL, CommandText: "Select * from Table1". All fields except indexed one have their pfInWhere set to false. updateMode of DataSetProvaider is set to upWhereKeyOnly.
All is well up to point where ApplayUpdates is fired. It does nothing. HandleReconcileError shows ORA-01722: invalid number.
Oracle explains: ORA-01722:invalid number
Cause: The attempted conversion of a character string to a number failed because the character string was not a valid numeric literal. Only numeric fields or character fields containing numeric data may be used in arithmetic functions or expressions. Only numeric fields may be added to or subtracted from dates.
Action: Check the character strings in the function or expression. Check that they contain only numbers, a sign, a decimal point, and the character "E" or "e" and retry the operation. But all updated fields are of character strings type. There is no need for conversion. I suppose the automatically created SQL has some extra checking. But I cannot see those SQLs. I guess must be a way of controlling those SQLs thru params, but don't know which. May be comparison old value - new value of index column is depending on this conversion?
I'm trying to load a csv file into an external table and when I select the table 0 rows is the result.
The log file has the following errors:
KUP-04021: field formatting error for field DEPTNO KUP-04023: field start is after end of record KUP-04101: record 1 rejected in file /usr/tmpclie.csv error processing column EMPNO in row 2 for datafile /usr/tmpclie.csv ORA-01722: invalid number
I'm trying to do a count on the number of combinations of country/state codes that are invalid (in Australia) for driving licenses.
select COUNTRY_CODE, STATE_CODE, count(*) from (select COUNTRY_CODE, STATE_CODE from CUSTOMER_TABLE where DRIVING_LICENCE is not null and not (COUNTRY_CODE in ('AUST') AND STATE_CODE in ('VIC', 'NSW', 'SA', 'QLD', 'NT', 'TAS', 'WA', 'ACT'))) group by COUNTRY_CODE, STATE_CODE
The output is okay...for example I get these results:
INTINT NZSI NZINT AUSTINT NZNSW NZ <null>
However, what I am missing is the combination of "AUST" & <null> for country/state respectively. Am I writing the code correctly?
I need to write a query which will get me output: 233445, i.e. all the three rows concatenated. How can it be done? I want to do it through sql only and not to use PL/SQL. Is this possible?
The pipe separator needs to appear only when values found in addr1 or addr2 or addr3.
WITH address AS (SELECT 'Silver Arc Plaza,' addr1,'4th Floor, 20/1, New Palasia' addr2,'Indore' addr3 FROM dual UNION ALL SELECT 'Shop No. 1,Vishnu Priya Building,' addr1,'' addr2,'pune' addr3 FROM dual UNION ALL SELECT 'D/7, Siddhivinayak Nagari,' addr1,'Nr.

I have a field (called Date_Time) which displays for example 1/31/2005 12:00:00 AM. I would like to run a query that converts that value to '200501' in a created field.
I tried the following below but I keep having problems.
select Account_Number, Date_Time, concat(year(Date_Time), month(Date_Time)) as Date_Time_Modified from table where Account_Number = xxxx
I want to update the names of employees by concatenating with A for DEPT 20. For that I have written the following PL/SQL block. But instead of one A the ename are concatenating with five AAAAA s.
