I'm trying to select only codes from a column that are above a certain length. how would this be achieved? I've tried char_length(fieldname) > x in the where clause but i'm getting the error ORA-00904: "char_length" invalid identifier.
View 2 Repliesi tried to apply a sql case statement in sql loader control file in " " the load succeed with 258 chars case or decode statement but when i add more cases it return sql loader 350 token longer than max

note : i cant modify the table structure to shorten the column names .
SELECT COUNT ( * ) FROM mtl_system_items_b;
-> 664072 records
Actually the value of the segment1 should be 9. But it has some junk characters and some extra characters.So I am using the following query to get all the error segment values.
confirm is this query rite?
SELECT segment1
FROM mtl_system_items_b
WHERE LENGTH (segment1) != 9;
Recently upgraded from Oracle 10.2.04 to 11g with a few bumps on the road most of which I've been able to resolve, but there's one that continues to confuse me.
Pretty vanilla INSERT statement in which the SELECT portion on its own runs in about 2 to 5 seconds (all results returned) on a facility by facility basis. When I try to combine this with an INSERT statement it ends up running for 12+ minutes per facility. The explain plan looks good and I've even tried emptying the target table prior to running the INSERT.
I've gathered schema/table statistics to no avail. I also tried using it as a CREATE TABLE AS statement and it still takes the 12 minutes per facility.
If i try to find length of the string with more than 4000 char in SQL Developer it throws error "ORA-01704: string literal too long". if anything i need to SET in preference.
select length('string with more than 4000 char) from dual;
I have had a google around and can't seem to find an answer as to how do do the following Select statement. i am wanting to Select the following fields from across multiple tables.
(field.table)
CustName.CUST
SalesNo.SALE
SalesDate.SALE
ItemDes.ITEM
Qty.SALEITEM
OrderComplete.SALEITEM
with 2 types of WHERE criteria:
WHERE SalesDate is between 'dateX' AND 'dateY'
and also WHERE OrderComplete = 'Y'
i understand this will require some sort of join in the statement so the keys for the different tables are as follows:
CUST
CustNo - PK
SALE
SalesNo - PK
CustNo - fk
ITEM
ItemNo - PK
SALEITEM
SalesNo -fk
ItemNo - fk (compound PK)
i have had a play around with using some joins & embedded statements
In our production environment some SP's are executing longer duration, but when same SP is executed from PLSQL Developer client it is executing vary quickly.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a piece of code that joined the same table onto itself twice in order to get the previous, current and future year's into columns in the same output.
Up until recently this has been working fine but the most recent data has just been uploaded into the table and now it comes up with an error.
On the second (left outer) join it now says that the column is ambiguously defined (ORA-00918). It doesn't matter which order the joins are in it is always the second join that the error pops up on.
I am facing a problem in my database that whenever I load any kind of database objects in a particular tablespace then it gives:-
ORA-08103: object no longer exists
If I load in any other tablespace, everything works fine. I am getting error while export/import, create a table etc. How can I resolve it. I was wondering that may be it is facing problem while writing to a particular datafile.
Select query will run fine. But when will run full query (insert + select). we will get below error after 8-10Hrs. No rows insert on table but table is exist.

Note: PNLP.sql : Script contain insert + select statement:Select query don't have any issue but while running full query we are getting above error.
Problem : print ref cursor gives error (ORA-08103: object no longer exists)/ and message "no rows selected" if ref cursor is based on GTT and commit is called in procedure.
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE gtt_RB

now with commit ;

as
begin
update t1_RB set a = p_in ;
insert into gtt_RB(A) values (1);
[code]....
no rows selected
1/ Once values are selected in ref cursor why it does not shows result set outside ?
2/ Are ref cursors are binded with temp tables ?
3/ if 'YES' is that should be the same case with normal tables ?
4/ Commit is necessary preserve incremental value in t1_rb how we commit with using ref cursors ?
5/ Is it a Bug?
I have a form reading record information from a flat file and inserting data into a number of varied tables. At the end of file (last line read) the form issues a commit to make all inserts/updates permanent.
There is a record that disappears in particular and this everytime I re-run the test. I mean than in Debug mode, I find it in the right table everytime I query that table until the moment the commit is issued in the code - which is definitely the opposite of what should happen. I understand that for some reason a rollback happens for that record (others are ok after the commit) but my point is that if for some constraint reasons, the record did not qualify, an error should have popped up right from the Insert that added that record, right? Then How comes I find it in the table up until the moment of the commit ?? ...is the deferrable constraint property a clue for digging further?
I am trying to generate ddl for a baseline created in Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 5 Grid Control 10.2.0.5.0. I used to be able to do this in a prior version of oem 10.2.0.4.0. Since the upgrade I am no longer able to view a baseline that has been generated successfully. I can also no longer generate ddl from a baseline capture. There are no errors ... it just seems to time out.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was a very contented software tester with SQLPlus skills when I had access to the classic version. I guess all things must come to an end as we have started seeing our systems under test migrate to 11g...and along comes the DOS prompt SQL*Plus.
Where I could previously ignore the cries that TOAD was better, I no longer have my right-click copy/paste option, and I don't know alot about the DOS prompt command line.
Our test lab administrator would like us to start working with SQL Developer for our testing needs...I am guessing because it installs automatically with the database. I read TOAD has a bit more functionality at this point(correct?)
What is better for a general database user with background of classic SQL Plus- the dos prompt SQL Plus or the more visual SQL developer?
I have a query which had a join:
a.c1=b.c1 and a.c2=@var
where @var is user supplied input at runtime...We had a index on a.c2 . The CBO would use this index to generate an opitimised query plan.We found some records from table "b" were dropping due to inner join. So we made a change in join. It'd be like
a.c1(+)=b.c1 and nvl(a.c2,@var)=@var
This query is no longer using the index, instead its doing a full table scan causing the query to slowdown.I have tried creating index on nvl(a.c2,'31-dec-9999')
But the CBO won't use it.Anyway to create index on this col so that full table scan can be avoided?
I create a data block on a table when I am inserting new record only one record have been saved. Last record no longer exist.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a problem to read in data from dmp file to target table.
I've created a dmp file using:
CREATE TABLE table_name
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(TYPE oracle_datapump
DEFAULT DIRECTORY directory_name
LOCATION ('file_name.dmp')
) AS SELECT col1, col2, col3 from source_table;
[Code]...
The file created via db_link from target db to remote db and then the data are insterted into target db table target_table.
desc target_table
col1 varchar2(20)
col2 number
col3 number
There are no values longer than 20 characters in source table, but when I insert into target_table(col1, col2, col3) as select col1, col2 col3 from source_table; I get ORA-12899: value too large for column "target_table"."col1" (actual: 25, maximum: 20).
I gues it has something to do with how the oracle datapump stored the data in dmp file. When I select col1 from source_table where length(col1) > 20; I get two values which clearly are not longer than 20 characters.
Selected values are:
748473358

We are getting an error in our web application that is using Oracle.DataAccess.dll v2.111.6.20. When a couple users are using the site everything is fine, but when the load goes up we start getting the error ORA-24373: invalid length specified for statement. We are unable to duplicate this error in Visual Studio and don't know where to turn. We use stored procedure and the .dll to access the database for everything. Also, when this error occurs, it occurs indefenitely for all OracleCommand objects until the web server is rebooted. Also, when I attempt to remote debug with SQL Developer, the process doesn't even make it to the database!

I had a varchar2 variable which was storing some data and I could use the LENGTH function to get the length of the data. However, If I change it to CLOB. What is the best way to get the length?
v_clob_size:= (DBMS_LOB.getlength(v_clob)) / 1024 / 1024;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('CLOB Size ' || v_clob_size);
another one is
LENGTHB(TO_CHAR(SUBSTR(<clob-column>,1,4000))) But this seems restricted to first 4000 characters only.
