data ID TESTDATA1 Best Buy
00001234 12222 30 00 2
Lowes 00001234 12222 100 00 3
Walmart 00001234 12222 129 00 4
abc 00001234 12222 5000 00 5
Toshiba 00001234 12222 21 00 6
abcdefghij 00001234 12222 49 00
Where '00001234' is the Invoice , '12222' is Netamount field and highlighted in red is the $ amount for that invoice.
The only data i need query to return 12222 (netamount)= $amount. I tried using substr select substr((TESTDATA),19,26)test from TABLEA; But this gives me the only the first row but not other amount which have different positions.
Here is the desired output
OutputID TESTDATA 1
12222 30 2 12222 100 3
12222 129 4 12222 5000 5
12222 21 6 12222 49
I am updating a table column which is xml datatype and am getting above error.Below is the process what i did. since the xml is too large i split them into small chunks.

i am running one query which is here
INSERT INTO shiftsample (Empid, PPDate, Inpunch, outpunch)( SELECT Emp_ID, PDate, In_Punch, Out_Punch FROM ProcessDailyData WHERE PDate = to_char(2012-10-15,'yyyy-MM-dd') AND Emp_ID = '00000001' );
in this query pdate has timestamp datatype and in shift sample ppdate column has date type. so i am not able to insert value from process daily data table.
getting this error.
SQL Error: ORA-01481: invalid number format model
01481. 00000 - "invalid number format model"

I want to decrease the size of testid column of number datatype in my "test" named table from size 20 to 15 and the data of maximum size is of 10 digits. but oracle throws an error "ORA-01440: column to be modified must be empty to decrease precision or scale". i cant understand why it is happening?
what is the reason behind it even though new size is maximum than the maximum size of existing data. but when i decrease the size of "varchar2" then oracle does not through any error.
I have a requirement that i should list out all the table names which are all using timestamp datatype in a specified schema. Is there any way to find those table names by using any system tables.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table defined where some columns are of the datatype RAW(16). In fact these are foreign keys to other tables. Our company has a policy that all primary keys are of the datatype RAW(16). Not much I can do about that.
Now I want to retrieve all columns of a certain row in that table and just visualize the foreign keys in hex format. All values are filled out nicely, except the columns with datatype RAW(16). Is there something special I have to do to retreive and display these? I defined an item as text-field for these, but this doesn't seem to be working...

I have to change the datatype of a column from CLOB to varchar2, without changing the order of the columns. The table has no data.
I could find any other way other than dropping the CLOB columns and then adding new columns with varchar2 datatype. But this changes the order of the columns in the table.
I have a table that has column with BLOB datatype. I am trying read only the inputted String from the BLOB datatype column. I have used the below query,
SELECT utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(column1) FROM TAB1
and it gives the result as
<H2><FONT color=#cc0000><EM><U>test</U></EM></FONT></H2>
However I would like to extract only the string "test" which is inputted. Is there any build-in function in oracle which will satisfy this requirement?
I am trying to load the data from .csv file into the table using SQL Loader.
The table has the following schema:
src_id : number,
dest_id : number,
range: intsys.interval_typ --- > a type containing (lower,upper)
payload : varchar2(100)
The loader.ctl file is :
load data
infile *
append
into table sb_packet
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by ' " '
(src_id,dest_id,range,payload)
BEGINDATA
3,32,intsys.interval_typ(10043,142703),"misc data"
When I use the following this ctl file to transfer the data, i get the following error:

I have a table users which contains the column password and the datatype for this is raw(64) ,which will be the hashed one coming from the application. When Inserting the application is inserting with the lower case but while storing the table data is storing int the uppercase .Is it the expected behavior of this datatype. I am using Oracle 11g and attaching the ddl and dml pertaining to the column
CREATE TABLE users_new(USER_ID NUMBER(10), PASSWORD RAW(64) ); insert into USERS_NEWvalues(1,'ba660ed7b382f2c57754c4cd0d5289cc60ee455244847268d88b555168b28b23156f5a016b2764966a15674bec4eb0fb2220be736bfc21282be957910b9e80cf');
But after selecting from the database I am getting as below BA660ED7B382F2C57754C4CD0D5289CC60EE455244847268D88B555168B28B23156F5A016B2764966A15674BEC4EB0FB2220BE736BFC21282BE957910B9E80CF
Below is my requirement.
Need to change the precision of a column in a existing table. Statistics about the table
* has over 130 columns
* More than 300 million records
* Column to modify is #121 which has data
* No primary key defined
Since the column has data, it is not possible to modify with a simple Alter.
Second option - create temp column in same table, update from original, put null in original, alter, update back from temp, drop the temp column. This approach is very expensive and time consuming.
Also the Column ID needs to preserved as #121.
I have a table where i have description column which free text column, the data in description column is seperated and i want to corvert 1 row data in multiple rows dependeing on the number of words.
eg
id description
78664 Pumps Alarm from CAMS RTU154
In the above example this column has 5 word so i want data in 5 rows like below
78664 Pumps
78664 Alarm
78664 from
78664 CAMS
78664 RTU154
This column data can be varied from 1 to any number of words.
I have a INSERT query which is happening with a SELECT query.
===================================================
INSERT INTO tbl_fact_effort_lvl_data ( ............... )
SELECT ria.report_id,report_status: :,

WHERE lov_type = 'FREQUENCY' ) * (SELECT SUM(pph_task)
FROM tbl_ri_process
WHERE report_id = ria.report_id )) TOT_YEARLY_PROD_HOURS ,TOT_YEARLY_PROD_HOURS * tf.fac_value TOT_FACT_DATA,location_id
FROM tbl_fact tf LEFT JOIN ......... ;
====================================================
So, here I want to use column alias TOT_YEARLY_PROD_HOURS as another column to derive another column value TOT_FACT_DATA.
