Stored SQL And Returning Data In Different Units?
Jan 30, 2007
I work on a client-server application, where users need to be able to run rather complex queries.
We currently have most of the queries defined in views on the Oracle database server and the client application simply downloads the data (i.e. SELECT * from example_view). This is good for us as we can maintain these queries without releasing new versions of the client tool.
However we have some queries implemented by a colleague that have caused a lot of trouble (efficiency and quality) and these are stored client-side.
The issue I have is that these client side queries can return records in different units (i.e. in standard cubic metres, or barrels of oil etc), as the SQL is defined at runtime on the client, and I want to know the best way to replicate this with SQL stored server-side.
The client-side SQL has column definitions such as: SELECT oil_production * decode(&unit,'Nm3',.948,'Sm3',1,'MMBOE',6.0924,1) ... The &unit parameter is then replaced by the appropriate text (i.e. 'Sm3') before the query is sent to Oracle.
Is there anyway to pass variables to server-side SQL and get a recordset back? I don't think PL/SQL procedures can do this? and views can't contain bind variables.

I have a stored procedure that is returning no data. I have read this is most common in stored procedures that use a SELECT INTO that tries to put a null in the variable.First, the stored procedure (from SQL Developer) then th execute and error.
PROCEDURE prc_add_address (addr_id OUT integer, addr_type_id IN integer, addr_line_1 IN varchar2,
addr_line_2 IN varchar2 := null, addr_line_3 IN varchar2 := null,
prov IN varchar2 := null, zip_id IN number,
country_cd IN varchar2 := 'USA', addr_start_date IN date,
addr_end_date IN date := null, changed_by IN varchar2,
changed_date IN date, channel_txt IN varchar2 := null)
[code]....
The sad conclusion:
Error starting at line 1 in command:
declare addrid integer := 0;
BEGIN
pkg_vic_person.PRC_ADD_ADDRESS (addrid, addr_type_id => 1, addr_line_1 => '351437 Tall Blvd', zip_id => 14906, addr_start_date => '01-FEB-2011', changed_by => 'RS', changed_date => sysdate);

INSERT INTO test VALUES ('aaa',5500);
[code]....
I got two rows. now when I do insert statement I want to delete the previously stored data and only insert the current data like:
INSERT INTO test VALUES ('aaa',8);
INSERT INTO test VALUES ('aaa',9);
it must show aaa,8 and aaa,9 bt not the previous values.
NOTE: we can not do sth like: update set... where id = ... becoz the values are dynamic.

i am trying to create a update trigger that allows any quantity reduction of 5 units and if the reduction is more than 5 units it blocks it and just reduces it by 5.here are two scenarios
SQL Update statement where the new Quantity value being smaller than 5 is allowed by the trigger.
-- old qty 20
update purchase_order
set quantity = 18
where po_no = 'PO11';
-- new qty 18
SQL Update statement where the new Quantity value being larger than 5 is only reduced by 5 by the trigger.
--old qty 25
update purchase_order
set quantity = 19
where po_no = 'PO15';
-- new qty 20
i just have the basic trigger code, but i think it is the math that i am not getting (i was never good at math)
create or replace trigger purchase_quantity_updt
before update of quantity on purchase_order
for each row
when (new.quantity < old.quantity )
begin
-- not sure what to put here
end;

I am trying to name a column from data stored in a row (Phone number) I want to name it from the first 3 digits (Area code) and I have no clue how to do it I have googled but I think the query is a little too complicated for me to explain it and get a result from google or find it in a section of a book.
My phone numbers are strings, so I initially look for the first 3 characters and then start separating and counting, I can do that, the only problem I have is naming the column WITH the the first three digits that I just separated.

I am trying to name a column from data stored in a row (Phone number) I want to name it from the first 3 digits (Area code) and I have no clue how to do it I have Googled but I think the query is a little too complicated for me to explain it and get a result from Google or find it in a section of a book.
My phone numbers are strings, so I initially look for the first 3 characters and then start separating and counting, I can do that, the only problem I have is naming the column WITH the the first three digits that I just separated.
I am trying to learn by myself how to use databases and am using the HR database that comes in oracle since I read in a forum that it is a great way to learn how to use queries.
I read about using Pivot to do it, but in pivot I need to know how many area codes there are. I will post a screen shot of the table that I am working on the other post
[URL].....
I can group by phone number with this:
SELECT SUBSTR(PHONE_NUMBER, 1, 3) AREA, COUNT(SUBSTR(PHONE_NUMBER, 1, 3)) TOTAL_COUNT
FROM EMPLOYEES
GROUP BY SUBSTR(PHONE_NUMBER, 1, 3);
But what I am interested in doing is that instead of Area appearing as a column, that the actual first 3 digits would appear as the column name.
This is kind of what I am trying to do, but instead of AREA appearing as column name I would like for each one of the area codes to appear as column name, here is the
SELECT DE.DEPARTMENT_NAME, EM.SEX, SUBSTR(EM.PHONE_NUMBER, 1, 3) AREA, COUNT(SUBSTR(EM.PHONE_NUMBER, 1, 3)) TOTAL_COUNT FROM EMPLOYEES EM, DEPARTMENTS DE WHERE DE.DEPARTMENT_ID = EM.DEPARTMENT_ID GROUP BY DEPARTMENT_NAME, EM.SEX, SUBSTR(PHONE_NUMBER, 1, 3) ORDER BY DEPARTMENT_NAME;

I am trying to store Chinese characters in certain fields in my database:
NLS_CHARACTERSET is UTF8
Version 11.2
Client NLS_LANG = UTF8
Client Region Settings = Simplified Chinese (PRC)
To Test - I have a string value I am trying to write to a field in Oracle. Looking at the source string with a hex editor, the multibyte value is E6 9C AC.
Looking the character up in UTF8 tables (U + 672C ) I can the symbol matches what I see when I look at the string with my editor.
I write the string to a field in Oracle. I can select from the field in SQLPlus and see the correct symbol.
However, when I dump the field I get the hex values B1,BE not E6 9C AC as I would expect.
explain why? And how is B1, BE getting translated back to the 'correct' symbol?

Oracle database version is : 10G.
When we try to query a column from a table the output is shown as "?????". Seems the data in that column is stored in a different character set, which is not recognised while displaying the output. The column size is 35byte.
The nls parameter table shows the character set as "we8mswin1252".
get this issue resolved.

The following code is a stored procedure I plan to use to populate a Data Warehouse dimension using data from two OLTP tables which already exist in my database. Notice that in my cursor select statement, I calculate an attribute using substr and instr, and I also assign a true or false value to a flag using a CASE statement.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE populate_product_dimension
AS
v_Count NUMBER := 0;
v_NumRecs NUMBER;
/*Declare a cursor on the following query which returns mulitple rows of data from product and price_hist tables*/
[code]....
In my mind, Product_Code is declared correctly in the Cursor declaration Select statement.

In a pl/sql procedure, when I am doing an update, I need the old value to be returned and stored in a local variable, so that the same can be used for future purpose.
Note : I know the "OLD:" option is present when we use TRIGGER, but in my case , the table I am updating is a old table and I am not permitted to create a trigger for it.
