how to change the default format of a number value using alter session statement?
I've a problem when I show a value like this "0.123456": the select statement returns ".123456". Is there any way to force a zero value before the character separator?
What is the difference between alter session and alter system?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm issuing an alter session setting NLS_DATE_FORMAT in a C batch process right after the connection takes place. The format I specify is YYYYMMDDHH24MISS, this is the format used all over the process. In my development environment this works perfectly, but I've had problems in other environments.
CASE A development environment: The process works fine, $NLS_LANG and $NLS_DATE_FORMAT environment variables are not set.
CASE B Test envirnonment 1: The process failed.$NLS_LANG=American_America.WE8ISO8859P1 $NLS_DATE_FORMAT environment variable is not set.For some reason the $NLS_LANG variable seems to have more weight than the alter session command.. why? The process works fine after setting $NLS_DATE_FORMAT to the desired format.
CASE C Test envirnonment 2: The process failed. $NLS_LANG and $NLS_DATE_FORMAT environment variables are not set. Can't get it to work here. why?
I was trying to execute below query inside a sql script which is called from a shell script on linux environment. EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'alter session set events ''10176 trace name context forever'' ';
This thing works at our test environment. But giving error "SP2-0670: Internal number conversion failed" when tried on live(production) environment. What could be the reason? I found another way of writing such queries on net as follows, will it be useful? EXECUTE IMMEDIATE q'|alter session set events '10176 trace name context forever'|
I'm using Oracle SQL Developer and querying on date fields. I use this "alter session" statement to set my default date time format to get my datetime values. My question is, is there a way I can incorporate the following statement into my "select" query so that Crystal can read it? I use the statement below before my select statement to query datetime differences. Problem is, Crystal doesn't like the statement below.
Using TO_CHAR( ) and formatting my date fields that way doesn't work when I have to take the difference between date fields to the minute/second level. That's why I use the alter session command below, but I cannot seem to incorporate it with my select statement as a Crystal data source.
alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'
Is it possible to alter a session within Oracle forms as I get the following error when trying to compile the following block.
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ( 'alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-YYYY''');
END;
Error: Encountered the symbol "IMMEDIATE" when expecting one of the following
The basic requirement is to validate a date field on the form against the current system date, but as the form is in format DD-MON-YYYY and the Database on M/D/YYYY I am struggling to compare dates successfully.

ora - 02248 : invalid option for ALTER SESSION
i can connect to the database with sqlplus with no problem.
We have a Data Source with min_pool_size (10) and max_pool_size (20). A Data Source is by default a connection pool. By starting a transaction we are retrieving a connection from the pool (i.e., opening it to retrieve data, perform queries, inserts and updates). Our application server is JBoss. An application workflow uses many transactions to build a product. The same connection is not used by the application for the entire workflow; but, it uses and returns them to the connection pool. We do not use Java syntax like "rs.close():"... this is performed by iBATIS.
On the Linux side when we execute a "ps" command (ps -elf|grep -i ora) we see all the Oracle processes. A further refinement of that command (ps -elf|grep -i local=no)shows a list of the "waiting" connections in the connection pool. The DB may be queried with the following syntax:
SELECT schemaname, sid, serial# FROM gv$session where schemaname = 'APP_USER' order by SID;
A list of connected sid and serial numbers is returned, identifying which connections are in use. From here we are able to force the connection to trace by executing the following:
exec dbms_monitor.session_trace_enable(249, 6595, TRUE, FALSE); ! 249 and 6595 being SID and Serial# from query above
There should be no need to execute the inverse, since the connection is returned to the pool when the transaction is committed or rolled back.
exec dbms_monitor.session_trace_disable(249, 6595);
We are trying to trace in order to use the Quest Benchmark Factory. Their instructions request the following syntax be applied to each session:
alter session set events '10046 trace name context forever, level 4';
and again, the inverse should not be necessary.
alter session set events '10046 trace name context off'
When it became too cumbersome to alter each session as it appeared, we issued an "alter system" to monitor (trace) everything. The trace files filled the disk, and four hours of testing was stopped two hours in. Doing a system level trace is probably not a good idea.
My first inclination was to create a post-logon trigger to set trace in the session; however, these connections, coming from an JBoss connection pool, do not logon each time, and I presume that they are not all the "same session".
We opened a support ticket with Quest last Friday and do not have an answer yet. This was the third ticket with them, the first to get Benchmark Factory installed (the original installer did not work). The second ticket was to setting up a shared directory on Linux with a folder on Windows, a setup configuration required by their tool. The third ticket to address this issue.
They needed to contact "the developers" to answer the last two questions. Their latest suggestion is to fix ticket two so we "won't need to trace" anything. How do I set trace in these connections?
,in 11g,is there a way I could limit the number of open application actions by some os user ?We have an application where users are executing the same thing while the last is not yet finished,so we have several same things runninng at the same time executed by the same user.
Can we restrict that somehow through the database or that needs to be done through application?
Im trying to insert a number specified by the format for ex. S999.99, but the original text is of the form S99999, is there any way i can insert the data which will store it in the DB with the datatype as Number(5,2), the decimal is not present in the supplied value(through PreparedStatement) but needs to be put while inserting into the DB.
P.S.- 'S' in S999.99 signifies the sign(+/-).

I have a small problem when I am trying to load data into a table using SQL Loader. The data I am trying to load should be a number, but it is in the format '999,999,999 USD'. When I try to load the data, I am getting an invalid number error, due to the USD (I have already accounted for the thousands seperators). My question is, how can I load the data as a number with USD in the format?
Sample Data(testfile.dat):
sample1, "342,2343,543 USD"
sample2, "564,324,465 USD"
sample3, "534,753,213 USD"

View 5 Replies View RelatedBy default number that "starts" with a leading zero with decimals - zero is removed. 0.49 => .49
I'm adding for e.g. the mask "FM990D0999". 0.49 => 0.49
Ok this is fixed.But if I have an integer without decimal. 1 => 1.0
If I change the mask to FM990D9999 1=> 1.
I would like to have a zero leading when it's 0.49 but also no decimal when it's an integer => 1
APEX 4.0 with 11g
I have an urgent requirement to kill an existing session if a new session starts for the same user. I have been reading lot of blogs and posts on the above topic, but could clearly tell me how to do it.
I thought of putting a process in 101 page when login button is pressed to catch this and kill the old session.
We are using Apex 4.0/Oracle 10gR2/ Hp-Ux, We noticed that there is a process Running in Two Sessions that seems running since 3 Hours using 60% CPU,** 30% given below sql it executes in two Sessions!

is there any way to alter only max value in sequence without specifying the max value.
i know we can alter it like :
-- Alter sequence
alter sequence TEST_SEQ
maxvalue 99999999;
can we alter it without providing the max value and let oracle choose default value for the same, same as we can do it when creating a new sequence.
I have a table Employee which gets updated and Inserted very frequently. Wanted to increase the PCTFREE value for this table
select table_name,pct_free,chain_cnt from user_tables
where table_name='EMPLOYEE'
EMPLOYEE NULL 0
is the output. I altered the pctfree like below
ALTER TABLE EMPLOYEE PCTFREE 30
and I can see Table altered but the value is not reflecting in above command again. Where else I should alter the value and cross check that value is changed.
