I have a task to update one of the rows in a table (having only 2 columns, number and long) which is long data type. We are on Oracle 10g. Not sure how to use update for a long data type column.
I have tried using dbms_metadata_util.long2varchar, but still not getting what I want.
I have come one requirement where i need to extract data from a LONG RAW data type column.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there some functions to convert the long type field data to varchar2 type?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a non-base-table item which I want to update in the pre-update trigger of the current block.
If the content of the field exceeds 4000 characters, i get the error message
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column.
The code is
update tab set long_col = :formsblock.long_col
where tab.tabpk = :formsblock.foreign_tabpk;
Workarounds would be,
1.) to delete the old dataset and insert the new one:
delete from tab
where tab.tabpk = :formsblock.tabpk;
insert into tab (tabpk, long_col) values
(:formsblock.foreign_tabpk, :formsblock.long_col);
or 2.) to change the Item from a non-database item to a database item and use the internal update of the forms-module, but both workarounds are not very satisfying.
Do you know another way to update the LONG-column within the pre-update trigger (or any other PL/SQL part of forms)?

I have a long datatype field in which text of length more than 4000 is stored. I want to use editor for entering and displaying the data, but it shows the error:-
case 1: when editor is invoked directly- FRM-40735: WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-06502
case 2: when I write something in the field- FRM-40209: Field must be of form.
We are working on a performance tuning aspect, where in a table has a LONG datatype and number of round trips are increasing based on the number of rows fetched.i.e one round trip for every row.
Background.
1. created a table with LONG data type.
2. inserted bulk load of data.
3. set auto trace on and executed below tests..
SQL> select count(*) from test_long;
COUNT(*)
----------
6110
SQL> desc test_long
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ID NUMBER
TESTLONG LONG
[code].....
but on LONG column, irrespective of the array size the round trips does not reduce.
I got an exception when I was using sesame adapter to dump a turtle file which contains long texts as objects into oracle semantic database. The exception information is:

Is there a seeded function by which I can check all the rows which stored dates in varchar column.
I have a table say test (test_data varchar2(100));
Now I will insert all types of records into the table varchar,number dates and then i will write q query to etch all those records only which has dates only
INSERT INTO test(1);
INSERT INTO test('ABC');
INSERT INTO test(SYSDATE);
INSERT INTO test(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YYYY'));
INSERT INTO test(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'));
INSERT INTO test('15/01/2012');

I am trying to update the security_level of a mission to the highest security level of missions of the same type.

I have intended the query to make it legible but it removes all spaces.
I am trying to find a way to update all of the rows in a table for a column EXCEPT for the very first row. I am not sure if this can be done while I enter my SET parameter or not. I have also thought about using an EXCEPTION in a stored procedure. For example, say I have the table listed below:
SQL> select * from example1;
CODE1 I_ID CODE2 J_ID NAME1 DATE1
----- -------------------- ----- -------------------- -------------------------------- ---------------
A 100 A 200 John 20111225
A 100 A 300 John 20111225
A 100 A 500 John 20111225
A 100 A 400 John 20111225
A 100 A 250 John 20111225
A 100 A 700 John 20111225
A 100 A 800 John 20111225
A 100 A 900 John 20111225
A 100 A 1000 John 20111225
A 100 A 1150 John 20111225
A 100 A 1275 John 20111225
A 100 A 3000 John 20111225
12 rows selected
I am wanting to update the table so that if there were more than 3 J_id's on the table for the same I_id then it will set all of the code1's and code2's to a C except for the very first one. Such as:
SQL> select * from example2;
CODE1 I_ID CODE2 J_ID NAME1 DATE1
----- -------------------- ----- -------------------- -------------------------------- ----------------

I had created a table which have 100s' of entries in it.
create table reg_user
(
USERNAME VARCHAR2(50),
PASSWORD VARCHAR2(20)
)
***
[Code]..
1. In this table, how to update the Nth row, how can I do it
2. Now I need to add USERID in this table,which will get value from 1 to max no. of rows. I do not want to drop the table and again re create it adding USERID or update each row manually. Is there any other way to add USERID and have IDs from 1 to max IDs.
I created a table with a column "id" and values for this column is attached a sequence. And now i need, if any value deleted from the table the column "id" will need to be sequence.
ex:
id name
-- -------
1 xxxx
2 yyyy
3 zzzzz
4 pppp
5 rrrrrr
if i delete
delete from test where id=4;
then automatically.. "id" column values will again in sequence... like this
id name
-- -------1 xxxxx
2 yyyyy
3 zzzzzz
4 rrrrrr
note: in the above if i delete the id=4 from the table again it will have be in sequence and if i inserted the again it has to take the next value continue to sequence....
ex : insert to test values(seq_name.nextval,'tttt');
id name
-- -------
1 xxxxx
.

.
4 rrrrr
