In chapter 17 of the 'Oracle Database 10g, The Complete Reference' it says "You can increase or decrease the number of decimal places in a NUMBER column at any time". When trying to modify a column from NUMBER(38) to NUMBER(38,3) I get the ORA-01440 error. Is there a way around this when you have the maximum number of digits (precision = 38).
View 2 Repliesmy column type is NUMBER(10,0) ,it accept the input value from text field I using TO_NUMBER(?) to insert value into table, is the a way to handle if the input is 'aaaaaaaaaa' not digit?

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.
whats the best way to modify a table via a procedure for example if i have a table with records: id, fn, ln, address, tel, dob
how would i go about creating a procedure that modifies a record. The problem is what param needs to go in? i could certainly have different procedures that modify different things like one for modifying tel, one for modifying address, but is there a way to combine it all into ONE procedure so that if user wanted he could put in exec modifyTable(2, 099898787) to modify tel and then modifyTable(2, 'a new address') to modify address... ?
We have the following case: an application modifies a table in an Oracle db (10.2.0.3.0).
Unfortunately the update SQL statements from the application always use the condition "where Column1 = 'some given value'" which is wrong (never mind why).
It should be instead "where Column1 = 'some value' and Column2 = 'val for Column2'. The 'val for Column2 will be taken from the very SQL query being issued (we can make the application do an update for Column2 even if the value in it never changes).
So all the update queries from the application look at the moment like that:
"update my_table set Column2 = 'val for Column2', Column3 = 'some other values', Column4 = 'some other value' where Column1 = 'some given value'".
We would like to capture them and somehow on the fly modify them to look like that:
"update my_table set Column2 = 'val for Column2', Column3 = 'some other values', Column4 = 'some other value' where Column1 = 'some given value' and Column2 = 'val for Column2'".
Can a trigger "before update" do it? For some reason we cannot at the moment ask the vendor to change the hard code of the application so we are looking for a temporary workaround.
I have a table where i have description column which free text column, the data in description column is seperated and i want to corvert 1 row data in multiple rows dependeing on the number of words.
eg
id description
78664 Pumps Alarm from CAMS RTU154
In the above example this column has 5 word so i want data in 5 rows like below
78664 Pumps
78664 Alarm
78664 from
78664 CAMS
78664 RTU154
This column data can be varied from 1 to any number of words.
is there some performance/access difference between a bitmap index on a number column and char(1) column? Both columns are not null with a default value.My application has a querie like this:
select ass.column20, ass.column30from table_a pucinner join table_b asson ass.column1 = puc.column1where pc.column_char = 'S'and ass.column_char02 = 'P'
If I create a bitmap index on column "column_char", the access plan is not changed. But changing the column datatype to number(1) and obviously the values, the index is accessed and the cost decreases.This table has 4.000.000 rows. Oracle 11.2.0.2SO
I have 2 questions, because they can be inter-related I am posting it in a single post. These queries are related to Oracle(PL\SQL).
1. I am trying to increase the size of a field in a table which has almost 2 million records and the query for alteration runs for almost and hour and rollsback, wondering is there a better way of doing it.
2. I have modified the size of a field in a table from Varchar2(10) to Varchar2(20), now when I tried to rollback the modification it is not letting me to change the size from Varchar2(20) to Varchar2(10). No data has been inserted after the modification.
Can we modifying the existing constraint on table?I have table level UNIQUE constraint on 3 columns of table.I need to modify the UNIQUE constraint to 2 columns? Instead of dropping/recreating the constraint, is there any option to modify the existing constraint

When I use the exchange partition method the parition is able to move the data from "monthly" table to "mth" table.
desc t1.mth; ### my temorary table

Than when I try to alter my temp table "mth". I get an error table must be empty to change column types.
alter table n546830.mth modify (DAY_DK date);
Next I tried making my temporary table "mth" a date column. When I an the exchange partition command I get the following error:

Method I can use to convert a number(10) to date column and keep the information in a table. Note, I don't care about HH:MM:SS as I never had that information to begin with and would be happy to set that part of the date column to all zeroes "00:00:00"

I have a column defined as Number( 8 ) which is supposed to have date values. I would like to check if all the rows in that table have valid dates. We could use to_date(coulmn_name, 'YYYYMMDD') and catch the rownums for error conditions using pl/sql. I would like to know if we could just do it using sql only and return the row numbers for those that are invalid dates?

My need is to calculate rows and write result into column:
c1 if current month is 1st in quarter,
c2 if current month is 2nd in quarter,
c3 if current month is 3rd in quarter.
How do I perform it?
I have a query that should return count the number of rows depending on the value of SLOT. The expected result will be like this:
WIPDATAVALUE SLOT N M
1-2 TRALTEST43S1 1 3
1-2 TRALTEST43S1 2 3
3 TRALTEST43S1 3 3
4-6 TRALTEST43S2 1 4
4-6 TRALTEST43S2 2 4
4-6 TRALTEST43S2 3 4
7 TRALTEST43S2 4 4
The M column is used to count the total number of occurrences of a SLOT. Now, as for the N field, this is used to count the occurrence of the SLOT. In my example for the SLOT TRALTEST43S1, it has three occurrences so M will be 3. Why 3, is because of the WIPDATAVALUE. The WIPDATAVALUE of TRALTEST43S1 is 1-2 and 3. 1-2 WIPDATAVALUE signifies two occurrences (one to two) and 3 signifies only one occurrence. As for N, it should just count the number of occurrence. To further explain, see below:
WIPDATAVALUE SLOT N M
1-2 TRALTEST43S1 1 3 -> First occurrence in the total of 3
1-2 TRALTEST43S1 2 3 -> Second occurrence in the total of 3
3 TRALTEST43S1 3 3 -> Third occurrence in the total of 3
4-6 TRALTEST43S2 1 4 -> First occurrence in the total of 4
4-6 TRALTEST43S2 2 4 -> Second occurrence in the total of 4
4-6 TRALTEST43S2 3 4 -> Third occurrence in the total of 4
7 TRALTEST43S12 4 4 -> Fourth occurrence in the total of 4
This is the query that I have so far:
SELECT DISTINCT
WIPDATAVALUE, SLOT
, LEVEL AS n
, m
FROM
(
SELECT
WIPDATAVALUE
, SLOT
, (dulo - una) + 1 AS m
[code]....
I think that my current query is basing its M and N results on WIPDATAVALUE and not the SLOT that is why I get the wrong output. I have also tried to use the WITH Statement and it works well but unfortunately, our system cant accept subquery factoring.
I want to decrease the size of testid column of number datatype in my "test" named table from size 20 to 15 and the data of maximum size is of 10 digits. but oracle throws an error "ORA-01440: column to be modified must be empty to decrease precision or scale". i cant understand why it is happening?
what is the reason behind it even though new size is maximum than the maximum size of existing data. but when i decrease the size of "varchar2" then oracle does not through any error.
Table : Customer
Cust_idNameid
227ABC1
227ABC2
227ABC3
228XYZ1
228XYZ2
228XYZ3
228XYZ4
In one oracle table (Customer) we have multiple cust_id based on that, we want to populate id column as cust_id record count.
I have id column right now null and want result same as above.
How can we dynamically get maximum value permitted in a number column? Is there any in-built function in oracle for this?
e.g. Accrued_Interest NUMBER(10,4)
In this case maximum value that can be inserted in this column is "999999.9999".
here on your forum but has been following several threads ever since.So anyway here is the thing, I have a query that should return count the number of rows depending on the value of SLOT. Something like this:
WIPDATAVALUE SLOT N M
1-2 TRALTEST43S1 1 3
1-2 TRALTEST43S1 2 3
3 TRALTEST43S1 3 3
4-6 TRALTEST43S2 1 4
4-6 TRALTEST43S2 2 4
4-6 TRALTEST43S2 3 4
7 TRALTEST43S2 4 4-----
As you can see above, on the SLOT TRALTEST43S1, there are three occurrences so M (Total number of occurrences) should be three and that column N should count it. Same goes with the SLOT TRALTEST43S2. This is the query that I have so far:
SELECT DISTINCT
WIPDATAVALUE, SLOT
, LEVEL AS n
, m
FROM
(
[code]...
I think that my current query is basing its M and N results on WIPDATAVALUE and not the SLOT that is why I get the wrong output. I have also tried to use the WITH Statement and it works well but unfortunately, our system cant accept subquery factoring.
