SQL Concatenate Using A Loop
Feb 17, 2010
I have a table which I will call 'fruit basket' which contains the following data:
basket_ref, fruit, fruit_serial
1, apple, 1
1, banana, 2
1, pear, 3
2, apple, 1
2, lemon, 2
What I want to produce is a table in the following format
basket_ref, all_fruit
1, apple banana pear
2, apple lemon
There could theoretically be any amount of fruit in a given basket, so I will need to set up some kind of loop in order to read each record from the original table. I am not sure how it would be best to do this.

I have the following info in a table:
LEVELPARENTPOSCHILD
1100571010055
1100572010053
2100552010056
2100551010054
The output that I need is:
LEVELPARENTPOSCHILD
1100571010055
21005510.1010054
21005510.2010056
1100572010053
If there are even more levels, I also need those childs to be shown right below their parent and with POS as 10.20.10 )(for the first item below POS 10.20.

I am trying to replace the string_name in the following execute immediate statement with a concatenated
string_||v_variable.
execute immediate
'select
table_name

using 'string_name';
I tried different declaration and concatenations but nothing worked so far.

This is a simple question, but I cannot seem to find a solution. Here's the basic query:
select distinct accountno, parcelno, streetno||' '|| predirection ||' '|| streetname||' '|| streettype||' '|| postdirection||' '|| unitname||', '|| propertycity
from tblacctpropertyaddress ....
What I want to do is add is this logic: If Predirection is null, then no space between streetno & streetname. Same for postdirection and unitname. (for example, if both postdirection and unitname are null, there are no spaces between streettype and the comma before propertycity)
Also, when unitname is not null, I want to add the string "Unit " prior to the returned value in unitname.

I have three database fields on my form , field_1 , field_2 and field_3 , user will enter the data in field_1 , and sometime he may not enter in field_2 ,
I want to bring the value of field_1 as it is into field_3 if he does not enter anything in field_2, if he enters the data in field_2 , then field_1 will get concatenated with field_2 and gets copied into field_3.Is there a way to do this automatically at form level using a trigger when-validate-item.In short this should be done after user presses the enter key on field_2.
create table ot_Sale_code_head ( sale_code varchar2(12),code1 varchar2(6),code2 varchar(6),code3 varchar2(12));
insert into ot_Sale_code_head ('A','01.01',NULL,NULL);
--inserted record in form will be 'A','01.01',NULL,'01.01'
insert into ot_Sale_code_head ('B','01.01','PS-P',NULL);
--inserted record in form will be 'B','01.01','PS-P','01.01.PS-P'

I created a sample application in java which concatenates three strings and displays the result in a final string.
Check the -
public class conCat
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
String Message1 = "This ";
String Message2 = "is a Sample ";
[code].......
This is a Sample Application
And the three strings are concatenated to the final string "Message" only. How to concatenate them vertically? The required output is :

I have a list of strings ( like a,b ,c) that I want to loop againts. I will be creating string to execute them as dynamic sql.I could have put the string in a table and loop againt the table but this is a deployment script so I do not want to create any table.I can also do
DECLARE
cursor c is SELECT 'a' FROM dual UNION SELECT 'b' FROM dual ;
BEGIN
for i in c
loop
.......
end loop.
END;
But I have many strings to loop over. What is the best way to achieve it. Can i use collection to achieve this?

I have a cursor which I am opening and then looping through. Within this loop I am comparing attributes within this cursor with attributes from another loop that this one is within.
you will see in the IF statements (there are several distinct IF statements within the loop) that there is a check which assesses if the attributes are not equal.
If they are NOT, the value of v_mismatch is set to 1
What I need to do instead of setting this to 1, is to go to the next record in the loop. How can I achieve this?
OPEN c_distMatrix;
LOOP
FETCH c_distMatrix INTO r_dist;
EXIT
WHEN c_distMatrix%NOTFOUND;
--compare each field and update the counter

[CODE]
DECLARE
D1 DATE:='&D1';
D2 DATE;
BEGIN
WHILE D1<=D2 LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TO_CHAR(D1,'DAY DD-MON-YYYY'));
D1:=D1+1;
END LOOP;
END;
Here I want to display all the seven days. One more question is here I'm d1<=d2 but d2 is null. So how does <= works here a null. A null is always null. What will be there in d2 how does the loop works with this comparision.

This query that I pasted is working correctly.Let's say a case has 4 owners, it finds me the first owner and show me its address.
However, I want to execute this query for all owners so it should jump the previous owner it found. Lets say for that example that the loop ends at 4.
How may I fix this problem so that the loop do not return always the first owner but it keeps getting 1,2,3,4...also I should increase the sequence value for each situation
SELECT
DECODE(BREINV.NAMEKEY, NULL,'0','1') "BRE_INV",
DECODE(BREINV.NAMEKEY, NULL,' ',BREINV.SEQUENCE) "BRE_NUMINV1",
DECODE(BREINV.NAMEKEY, NULL, ' ', DECODE(BREINV.SEQUENCE,NULL,NULL,RTRIM(ADDINV.FORMATTEDADDRESS,CHR(0))||CHR(13) || CHR(10) ||'Citizen of ' ||SUBSTR(PAY.COUNTRYDESCRIPTION,1,30))) "BRE_NOMINV",
INDIVIDU.FIRSTNAME || ' ' || INV.NAME "BRE_NOMPREINV"

begin
for i in 1..10000 loop
update table1
set col1= col1+1
where type =1;
commit;
end loop;
end;
My question is, if a strored procedure contains the script above and the said procedure will be invoked by two or more sessions at the same time. Does it mean that the 1st session will lock the related rows and other sessions will have to wait for loop in session one to finish?

I am an experienced SAS programmer jumping into PL/SQL for the first time and have already encountered a problem.Let's assume I have 7 records (shown below). (In reality, I have millions of records, but the concept's the same.) The Value field is only populated when it changes. Therefore, I am forced to "fill in the gaps" as I read the data file. It's fairly straightforward. I carry the value foward one record at a time, using it if the Value field in not populated. The ANSWER I want is also shown.
In reading through a PL/SQL book, I realized that only 2 chapters are relevant to what I do. My guess is this solution involves cursors; probably a Cursor FOR loop,
ID Year Amt ANSWER
1 2010 200 200
1 2011 ..... 200

I want to do something like this
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While Condition
LOOP
BEGIN
Insert into table1 values(......);
[Code]...
EXCEPTION
When OTHERS THEN <capture the error while inserting into an Error table>
END;
END LOOP;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I want that If one of the insert statement within the loop fails (say table2) the exception should be captured and next insert statement (table3) should be executed.
How can I do this ? I guess I wont even need a loop

I have a cursor returning some value.
for each value returned by the cursor i need to traverse through 31 rows(1 row per day * no of days in the month).
E.g. if cursor returns service_name as xyz then for xyz there can be 31 rows(service may not be used on some days)
I need to go to all of them and take some values and move them to a flat file. how should that be done?
