SQL & PL/SQL :: Variable Is NULL

I can't figure out why my variables are not filled up?

FAL_SCHEDULE_STEP_ID NUMBER(12) ,
FAL_SCHEDULE_PLAN_ID NUMBER(12) ,
SCS_STEP_NUMBER NUMBER(9) ,

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

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.

Suppose that, I have two tables: emp, dept
emp records the empid, emp_name, deptid
dept records the deptid, dept_name
Here is a record, it's a president or some special position in company, so it's deptid is set to NULL. Here comes the question, how can I print all the emp_name with their deptartment name?
I know how to print all the emp_name with their department name if they have dept_id, but is that possible that I merge the record with dept_id NULL?

I have the following problem.
I have a trigger "before update" that change some values, including a timestamp column. My sql code does an update using the "returning clause" to get the values changed by the trigger. The problem is:
When I do an "update [...] returning timestamp_field", this timestamp_field has the old value equals to null (in the trigger). And, this field in the table is not null. This problem not occurs with the others fields of type number, varchar... only with the timestamp field.
Here are the code to simulate this problem:
--Table
create table TB_TEST
(
ID NUMBER(10) not null,
FLAG NUMBER(10) not null,
TAG VARCHAR2(16) not null,
TS_ATU_DTR TIMESTAMP(9) not null
);
[Code]..
Testing
exec test1;
select * from textolog order by data, texto;
Output:
DATA TEXTO
--------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15-FEB-11 1:old.FLAG=123, :new.FLAG=321
15-FEB-11 1:old.TAG=teste trigger, :new.TAG=teste trigger
15-FEB-11 1:old.TS_ATU_DTR=, :new.TS_ATU_DTR=
15-FEB-11 2:old.FLAG=123, :new.FLAG=321
15-FEB-11 2:old.TAG=teste trigger, :new.TAG=10
15-FEB-11 2:old.TS_ATU_DTR=, :new.TS_ATU_DTR=15/02/2011 11:07:38.094284000
-----
"old.TS_ATU_DTR=, " Isn't it right?????
Why the other fields aren't null?
I need the "old.TS_ATU_DTR" to use in my other trigger to compare timestamps, how can I get it?
Or, is there a patch for this problem?

i have a function which takes in two variables and return a varchar.
ex: Function(var1,var2) return as varchar2.
in the function,i query a table for var1 and var2 and concatenate the result set to return a varchar. But if either var1 or var2 is null,then my query in the function fetches the result set for the other variable.
My question is,how would i pass a null value through the function and handle it in the function.

how to catch a null value with C# code?
My Asp.Net/C# application is connected to an Oracle database where it retrieves database values and also values calculated/returned from Oracle functions. My problem is that sometimes an Oracle function I calling returns a null value because of not correct input parameters which will cause Oracle function to (I think) return an null value. My problem and question is how to catch/obtain if he Oracle function returns a null value? Oracle function should return a decimal value if correct input parameters. Below is my row of code that crashes when Oracle function returns a null value in case of incorrect input parameters.
decGrossFreightRevenue = (decimal)(OracleNumber)cmdCalculateRevenueCall.ExecuteOracleScalar();
how to change my code to catch a null value and avoid a crash. I have tried several checks (if statements) without success.

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?

My Database is in Oracle 11g.
My query returns the 3rd field from a CSV string. If the third field in the string is empty I want the select to return a null but it returns the 4th field :
SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR( 'A,B,,D,E','[^,]+',1,3) from dual;
.. this returns 'D'.
Can we somehow make the REGEX_SUBSTR return a NULL for the third field ?

no rows selected
how come i get no rows selected when col3,col4,col5 is having null values but NULL could be anything so
NULL-NULL cannot be equal to zero how is it possible

We are working on a migration project and we need to move 75 million rows from source system to target system.
Total number of columns in source system - 90 cols.
Out of the 90 columns 10 cols are system fields and rest 80 are properties for each record.
We are required to migrate all system cols and some required properties. In total we will migrate around 25 columns[10+15] for each record.
Before actaul migration , we need to do a data cleansing activity and hence we move the data to a staging table.
To create the staging table, we considered the below appraoches.
1. Create the staging table with around 30 coloumns so as to fit the data from source system[map the columns based on datatype]
2.Create the staging table with actual columns[90 columns] and import only the required properties. The rest all columns will remain NULL.
Do the data cleansing and move to target system.
My question here is, if we go with approach 2, We will not mix the data, as there will be a one-to-one mapping. But many columns will not have data and remain NULL. Will it affect the performance since we deal with 75 million rows.
