I have a table with around 80 columns. All i need is to select first 40 columns.
Is there any way to select first 40 columns without giving all the 40 Column Names in select clause.
i want to select dynamic column names in my select statement in my function.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe 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.

is it possible to use the records returned by a query as column names in a select query.
select (select column_name from dba_tab_cols where table_name='V_$DATABASE' and column_name like '%CONTROL%')
from v$database;

I have a requirement of getting different column value for every select clause. my selection is so much freequent. For example.. 10 Select statement /second.
But when if I am running more than select in a second its is showing the same record which is last dequeue.and also tried with RANDOM(). how to get different value for every statement which is running in single point of time.
I need to know if it is possible to hide one or more of the columns in my SELECT statement as I only need them in there where clause.

I have limited permissions and am unable to create temp tables.So I would like to use a cursor to "create" a table of sorts then access/query it. But this "table"/cursor would have no column names so how do I refer to the columns? Is there a way to refer to a column by column number rather than column name in a query:
select column1 from tablename where column2 = 'abc'?
Is there a way in a query/update/insert to refer to a column by column number rather than column name?
declare
cursor c1 is
select 'abc', '8-Apr-2013', pk_id from EMPLOYEE where pk_id = '153'
UNION
select '1xyz', '4-10-2013', pk_id from EMPLOYEE where pk_id = '154'

I want to use a sequence to populate a field for my insert statement. Should be simple right?
So here is an example
insert into sometable ( seq, else)
select
myseq.nextval
,somethingelse
from sometable@dblink
where somethingelse = 10
now if i remove my sequence call for nextval it correctly uses the where clause but when I use the sequence in the select statement it is ignoring the where clause completely. I've never had this issue before...is this because i'm using a dblink now?
I'm using toad 10 on oracle 11g in multi-schema environment.
We have and Upper and a Lower function.Is there any function or way in which I can issue a select while ignoring the case(like IgNoReCaSe) in a where clause? I don't want to use like
select * from emp where upper(job)= upper('dba');
or
select * from emp where lower(job)= lower('dba');
I just want to know if there is any way in which I could do it without using upper and lower.
I have some issues in passing array values to IN clause.
I am passing a String Array from Java to PL\SQL and want to use the Array values in the IN CLAUSE of Select Query
cust_array is the Array
search_id VARCHAR2(1000);
search_id := '';
FOR j IN 1 .. cust_array.count
LOOP
IF (j != 1) THEN
search_id := search_id || ''',''' || cust_array(j) || ''';
ELSE
search_id := search_id || '''' || cust_array(j) || '''';
END IF;
END LOOP;
trying to form a string of below form: search_id '3211335201','3211335209','3211335279','3211335509'
and use the string search_id in the IN clause of the search Query select * from DPP_EMP where empl in (search_id)
but the query does not returns any result
When I try to hardcode the values in the query as below, its returing 4 rows
select * from DPP_EMP where empl in ('3211335201','3211335209','3211335279','3211335509')
How to achieve this (String to the IN clause) or is there a better way of passing the Array values to the IN clause
I'm using pivot query feature of oracle 11g and came across a strange situation where i need to pass a "select statement" in a "in clause" of pivot query.
SQL> CREATE TABLE TEST1
2 (
3 UIN NUMBER(8) NOT NULL,
4 TESTING_ID NUMBER(4),
5 PFA_RESULT VARCHAR2(30 BYTE)
6 );
[code]....
I have tried with pivot xml but it not giving desired output in sql*plus session.It is giving unreadable output.
select * from
(select uin,testing_id,pfa_result from test1)
pivot xml (max(pfa_result) as result
for (testing_id) in (select distinct testing_id from test1));
[code]....
Here actually i want to use "select distinct id from test1" instead of "in (11,12,13,14,15)". Because i don't know how many id's will be there and of which values. e.g. 11 or 21 or 25.
Is there a way to define a SELECT clause once and reuse it in many other queries?
I have many procedures with same SELECT statement and I'm trying to find a way to not have to write out the SELECT clause in every function or procedure. Same question applies to FROM, WHERE, etc clauses.
currently i m going through some dumps for my OCA-11g prep.I came across one sentence :A view cannot have an ORDER BY clause in the SELECT statement.well this statement is false and the explanation given was :
Query operations containing ORDER BY clause are also permitted, so long as the ORDER BY clause appears outside the parentheses.
The following is an example of what I mean: CREATE VIEW my_view AS (SELECT*FROM emp) ORDER BYempno.
but when i tried running the query like this :CREATE VIEW my_view AS SELECT*FROM emp ORDER BYempno ,it worked w/o giving parentheses.

I have created domain indexes on text columns of a materialised view to use "contains" clause when searching for data. The select query with "contains" clause does not return any records, however I was able to retrive data using via regular query using a like search.
-> will exec ctx_ddl.sync_index('index_name')'resolve my problem?
-> since the view is a materialized view, how can i make sure that the latest data added are also picked up?
Is there a save exceptions clause or an equivalent for an Insert as select* statement ?
How do I trap the errors in the below statement -

I am trying to create a tabular form based on a SQL query, that has a query-based select list with a where clause that references a column in the originating SQL query.
The situation is, I have a table that stores client_id, source_id and build_id, lets call it client_source. I have a second table, build_source, that contains source_id and build_id, with a one to many relationship between the two (source_id of 1 could have build_id of 1-7).
Using a tabular form, I want to select the corresponding build_id to be used in client_source, but the select list must only contain the build_id's for that rows particular source_id.
Here is an example of the SQL source of my tabular form;
select
s.ROWID,
s.CLIENT_ID,
s.SOURCE_ID,
APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY(1, s.BUILD_ID,
'select b.build_id display, b.build_id return from
build_source b where b.source_id = s.SOURCE_ID ') lst
from client_source s
... what I am trying to achieve is that the source_id fields in bold match. When the query is built this way I get an 'invalid identifier' Oracle error on s.SOURCE_ID at runtime.
Is there some special tags that need to be used to reference the outside column?I am running on Application Express 4.1.0.00.32, on a Oracle 10g release 10.2.0.4.0 database.
I have a table containing hundreds of columns and I would like to be able to qualify my select statements so that only those columns containing a value are returned. Something like:

See attached file for creation script and data load.Each staff member is required to complete at least one task every three years. The source table contains an EID (aka User ID) and a date column for each task with a date of when the task was completed. If a task has never been started/completed the date value is "NULL".
If a row looks like this:
EID,DATE01,DATE02,DATE03,DATE04,DATE05,DATE06,DATE07,DATE08,DATE09,DATE10,DATE11,DATE12,DATE13
68,NULL,11/10/2009,5/3/2010,4/22/2012,NULL,NULL,4/14/2010,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,4/14/2010,4/14/2010
The the result set would look like this:
EID,MaxDate,Within_Last_3_Years
68,4/22/2012,'YES'
The result set will show the EID, date of latest task completed and if the task was completed within the last 3 years from given date (for example June 30, 2012).
Below is the query that I have:
Quote:
select a.contact, b.db_name
from MOM.db_contacts@DB_LINK a, MOM.databases@DB_LINK b,
where a.DB_ID=b.DB_ID
and b.DB_name=(SELECT unique substr(upper(t.target_name), 1, instr(t.target_name,'_',1,1)-1)
FROM mgmt_targets t JOIN mgmt_current_severity s
ON s.target_guid = t.target_guid
WHERE t.target_type = 'oracle_database'
and UPPER(t.target_name) like '%11GDB%');
How can I add two more columns into the select statement and the two columns are in the tables that were in the sub query..I would like to have something like this:
Quote:
select a.contact, b.db_name, COLUM1, COLUMN2
from MOM.db_contacts@DB_LINK a, MOM.databases@DB_LINK b, mgmt_targets t, mgmt_current_severity s
where a.DB_ID=b.DB_ID
and b.DB_name=(SELECT unique substr(upper(t.target_name), 1, instr(t.target_name,'_',1,1)-1)
FROM mgmt_targets t JOIN mgmt_current_severity s
ON s.target_guid = t.target_guid
WHERE t.target_type = 'oracle_database'

I've read so many different pages on this topic but I can't seem to get my query the way it needs to be. Here's the query:
select admitnbr, lastname||', '||firstname||' '||finitial, hphone, mobile, wphone, med_rec, dob
from patients join schedule using (key_patien)
join adtmirro using (key_patien)
where appt_state = 'ON HOLD'
Because patients in my database can have multiple appointments "on hold" there are duplicates in the results. I only need 1 record per patient in order to forward this information into an automated dialer to contact that patient. I do NOT want to call the patient over and over again. Once will suffice. I'm trying to make a distinction on the column 'med_rec'. One row per 'med_rec' will be awesome but I can't find a way to create a distinct on that column.
I have 8 columns. Some of them might be null.I want to display all 8 columns in my result. Not null columns will be first and null at the end.Here is a sample data :

1 aaa ddd d1 100 6 180
2 bbb ccc 120 169
3 dfe d2 5.9 223
The expected result is :
result1 result2 result3 result4 result5 result6 result7 result8
1 aaa ddd d1 100 6 180
2 bbb ccc 120 169
3 dfe d2 5.9 223

View 2 Replies View RelatedOur DBA set up a Heterogeneous Service to one of our MS SQL Servers and we can use a DB Link to SELECT a table from the SQL Database. This works just fine but the problem is any nText column on the SQL Database Table doesn't appear. All the columns are shown EXCEPT the nText columns.
how to correct this? We need the ability to select the nText columns also.
