I see you can build an address object consisting of street name and number, city and so on, and use this in CREATE TABLE, so all tables use the same fields for addresses. And moreover you can add check functions to prevent street numbers to be negative for instance in the constructor. You can even use inheritance. I like that.
However, all teaching on this subject I found on the Internet starts with structs (points consisting of x and y, persons consisting of name and address, etc.). Then they go to inheritance and show how to build an employee who is just a person plus an employee number. They never start with simple types.
What I would like to do would be rather to start with basic types such as number or varchar2 and inherit from them. An EAN is a VARCHAR2 holding only digits where the last digit is a check sum that must be matched. An item number may be a VARCHAR2 matching 'NNN-AAAA'. A simple string may be a VARCHAR2 where no functional characters such as carriage return, etc. occur.
I would then write my create table statement thus:
CREATE TABLE item (itemno T_ITEMNO, ean T_EAN, itemname T_SIMPLESTRING); and inserts like INSERT INTO item values('123--BCD', '1234567890abc', 'toy') would fail with exceptions like 'item numbers must be formatted NNN-AAAA' or '1234567890abc is not a valid EAN'.
However this seems not possible:
create or replace type T_EAN under varchar2 ( constructor function T_EAN(p_string in varchar2) return self as result );
fails with "PLS-00580: supertype must be an object type".
Rather than creating completely new types, I would start with extending existing types, but this seems not possible. Is that really impossible or am I using the wrong approach?
Have table with two columns with datatypes as number and varchar and the values in A column like 1,2,3 AND B column values like a,b,c. Now need to display data in a single column as 1,a,2,b,3,c.
I have a query that returns 11 Million rows but not all of them can be displayed in SQLDeveloper or DBVisualizer because of limited memory or other type of issues. I need to copy the entire result set to excel for further calculations.
Is there any way that i can select N number of rows out of my actual result set.
For example: a) A result set contains 10 Million rows in total. b) I want to display first 5 Million rows by executing a query c) Then I want to display the remaining 5 Million rows by executing the query again with any parameter changes.
So all I want is to extract the rows of my actual result set in two or more executions, depending on the number of rows.
The below sql is giving different number of result sets while adding further columns in select clause.i.e After adding the columns 4,5,6 in the below query its giving different number of result set.In this case the result set count would be 5.
Before adding the columns 4,5,6,the result set count was 11.
I have the following Union All query. It throws the following error in SQL plus
ERROR at line 27: ORA-01789: query block has incorrect number of result columns
After doing some google for the above error it suggests there are incorrect number of columns in the Union All query.I could not figure out the exact location well SQl Plus says error is on line 27 at the first opening bracket like
Current listener port is 1521. I have been asked to change it to 10526
I tried changing the port number in the listener.ora file and then restarting the listener but the I start getting "ORA-12541: TNS: no listener" error. If I change it back to 1521 and restart the listener, I am able to connect to the database. What else do I need to do to change the port #? After I change the port and restart, here is what I tried to test: $ sqlplus user/password@sid...ERROR:ORA-12541: no listener Enter user-name: When I rollback the port# change, I am able to login.

Recently I am facing a problem while working with Oracle reports 2.5.
My requirement is: there is a report in which there are 5 columns right now. Now what i want is, whenever a condition will satisfy , a new column should be also display in that report otherwise it must be stay as it is.
Previously : a b c d Now if a=1 : a b z c d else a b c d where a,b,c,d,z are columns.
i am trying to chnage the default port number of listener but facing problems in instance registration. i did as follows:
1. stop the listener as lsnrctl stop (default listener). 2. chnage the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora with desire port numbers (1526) as follows:- [code] LISTENER = (DESCRIPTION_LIST = (DESCRIPTION =
[code]...
but i didnt get the reason of aforsaid error and my instance is not registering
display or get values stored in a long column.i tried the below code, but myvar is shown as null. am i missing something here or is there a better apporoach than this ?. There are actually 16 rows returned for this query but with empty values for 'high_value' column which is critical for me. How can i do this long to varchar convertion ?
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON DECLARE my_var long; BEGIN for x in ( SELECT high_value FROM all_tab_partitions WHERE table_name = 'SALES_DISCOUNT' AND table_owner = 'CED12' ORDER BY partition_position DESC ) [code]....
I've a large table on which I applying aggregate and group by functions to the the results.
Here are two of the columns in my table:
Name ==== Score John ==== 200* Zohaib ==== 299 Ali ==== 0* John ==== 200 Maria ==== 150* Ali ==== 0 Maria ==== absent John ==== absent
Here astrick (*) means with distinction....
The "score" column is a varchar column I want to run a query on this table to show the highest score for each student and the output should be like this:
Name ==== Score Zohaib ==== 299 John ==== 200* Maria ==== 150* Ali ==== 0*
Important note:
1. if there is a tie between two highest scores like for a student, incase of john 200 was made twice, but the score with asterick (*) will be the "maximum" becuase it is with distinction so the output should also show the the highest score with asterick.
2. the output should show the the 2nd column (score) in desc order of highest score by each student...again incase of a tie, the one with astrick will come first in the result..
I know with just mere numbers, that is pretty easy but in this case it is a varchar column and also i need the astrick along with the highest score.
I want the simplest and shortest query if possible to achieve this result
I hope I've been able to clearly explain my requirment. I am using 10G.
I have a varchar field in a table. When I store the following string, some undefined character is storing.
String to be stored: Test String String actually stored: Test ¿ string
Please note that here '' is not Hyphen. It is a special character that msword has. when you copy this and paste in a word document you find the difference.
I have listed the character set for CHAR and NCHAR from NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS
The below table and functions are examples, but issue is like this.
i have one issue while forming below sql , Application will form this query at run time wih required inputs it is failing because the application will not support the clob datatype.
Table : T_E (similar to EMP table structure)
This table has data similar to emp but bulk data around 10k records.
Query formed
select empno,ename, get_employees(deptno) from t_e;
This sql query this is failing when function return varchar2 string more than 4000 size.Because in sql query size should not exceed 4000 for varchar2 data type , function return size can be upto 20000
Function which CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_employees (p_deptno in emp.deptno%TYPE) RETURN varchar2 IS l_text varchar2(32767) := NULL; BEGIN FOR cur_rec IN (SELECT ename FROM t_e WHERE deptno = p_deptno) LOOP l_text := l_text || ',' || cur_rec.ename; END LOOP; RETURN LTRIM(l_text, ','); END;
I can try this with clob but application doesn't support that..so i tried with using clob in above function , after that while returning to application i want to conver the clob to char and return the entire string
select empno,ename, to_char(substring(get_employees(deptno),1,4000)) -- first 4000 characters , to_char(substring(get_employees(deptno),4000,8000)) -- next 4000 characters from t_e;
But this is failing how to return the entire string in above sql
How to get max and min value from a varchar2 datatype column?
CREATE TABLE TEST ( WEIGHT VARCHAR2(20) ); INSERT INTO TEST VALUES('100'); INSERT INTO TEST VALUES('120'); INSERT INTO TEST VALUES('113'); INSERT INTO TEST VALUES('145'); INSERT INTO TEST VALUES('204'); INSERT INTO TEST VALUES('130');
I've to find the max and min weight from this data.
select to_clob(1) from dual union select wm_concat(sysdate) from dual;
wm_concat returns a clob. To make both queries in the union have the same type columns i convert the column in the first query to a clob but Oracle gives me an [1]: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB error even though both are returning a clob value.
Each of the queries work individually and both return a clob value.
Why it's not excluding '0-5' and '25-30', how I should write code to exclude this and Is there is any function in oracle to check for numeric in column and print.
