Boolean in select statement

Hi,
I have a function returning a boolean and I need to use it in a select statement. The result of the sql should be 1 it returns true and 0 for false.
select case when my_function(a,b) = true then 1 else 2 end from dual
Is there a way I can do this.
Thanks,

A trouble with "LIKE" in a select statement

Hi!
I'm having trouble with "LIKE" in a select statement...
With Access I can make the following and everything works well:
SELECT name, birthday
FROM client
WHERE birthday LIKE '*/02/*';
but if try to do it in my application (it uses Access), it doesn't work - I just can't understand that!!!
In my application the "month" is always the currently month taken from the "System". Look what I'm doing...
String query1 = "SELECT name, birthday " +
          "FROM client " +
          "WHERE birthday " +
          "LIKE '*/" +
          pMonth +
          "/*' " +
          "ORDER BY birthday ASC ";
ResultSet rs = statement1.executeQuery(consulta1);
boolean moreRecords = rs.next();
The variable "moreRecords" is always "false", the query returns nothing although the table "client" has records that attend the query.
Please, anyone can help me?! It's a little bit urgent.
Thanks,
Katia.

Hi Katia,
I'll bet the problem lies with the characters you're using to escape the LIKE clause. You're using the ones that Access likes to see, but that's not necessarily what's built into the JDBC-ODBC driver class.
You can find out what the correct escape wildcard characters are from the java.sql.DatabaseMetaData.getSearchStringEscape() method. It'll tell you what to use in the LIKE clause.
I'm not 100% sure about your code. It doesn't use query1 anywhere. I'd do this:
String query = "SELECT name, birthday FROM client WHERE birthday LIKE ? ORDER BY birthday ASC";
PreparedStatement statement = connection.createStatement(query);
String escape = connection.getMetaData().getSearchStringEscape();
String test = escape + '/' + pMonth + '/' + escape;
statement.setString(1, test);
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery();
while (rs.hasNext())
// load your data into a data structure to pass back.
rs.close();
statement.close();Let me know if that works. - MOD

Using column number inplace of column name in SQL Select statement

Is there a way to run sql select statements with column numbers in
place of column names?

well, ok, it's not possible with SQL, but how about PL/SQL?As mentioned, using DBMS_SQL you can only really use positional notation... and you can also use those positions to get the other information such as what the column is called, what it's datatype is etc.

Selected state in selectBooleanCheckbox

Hi,
I'm currently working with ADF BC and I'm trying to set the selected state of a selectBooleanCheckbox. The attribute in the database has 2 values: Y (checked) and N (not checked).
I had 2 possible solutions:
1. Use EL to determine true or false in the selected attribute of the tag:
<af:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{row.ActiveFlag=='N'?false:true}"
id="selectBooleanCheckbox3"/>
2. Create a new method in the entity implemenation class which returns true or false, depending on the value of the ActiveFlag (string):
public boolean getConvertedActiveFlag() {
if(this.getAttributeInternal(ACTIVEFLAG).equals("N")) {
return false;
return true;
Now the problem :)
Option 1 works but the checkbox is readOnly (setting readOnly=false does not work)
Option 2 wont work at all.
Anybody advise?
Thx in advance!
Koen

Hi Frank,
my bad .. I was using #{row.ActiveFlag=='N'?false:true on the selected property instead of the value but without success.
Is this a bug?

Exporting SQL Select statement to spreadsheet

Hi all, basic question that I couldn't find the answer to while googling and searching the Oracle documentation.
What is the code for exporting the result of a SQL Select statement to a spreadsheet such as Excel or Calc? In Oracle SQL Developer I tried saving the output as an XML file but it did not come out properly and I tried using EXPORT at the end of the statement but it gave an error message and I am not sure if this is the right command or what the syntax is. Thanks.

Adapt to output different datatypes and styles are required.

Create an Encapsulation of Select * Statements?

I'm looking to encapsulate a mysql db call that returns a large result set due to Select *. I prefer to return the results and let the calling routine parse (or display) the data. Unfortunately most of the methods I've tried -- multidimensional arrays, objects, returning the result set itself -- I have either run in to issues or the solution was less than ideal. I've posted some code below.
If anyone could suggest an excellent method for handling this issue it would be appreciated. Sample code would be even better!
Thanks in advance.
try{
Statement st = con.createStatement();
/* ResultSet res = st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM MyTable"); */
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(SQLQuery);
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
int numberOfColumns = rsmd.getColumnCount() + 1;
RowSetDynaClass rsdc = new RowSetDynaClass(rs);
List rowset = rsdc.getRows();
int rowcount = rowset.size() + 1;
Object[][] arr = new Object[rowcount][numberOfColumns];
for (int i = 1; i < rowcount; i++) {
/* read row */
rs.absolute(i);
for (int j = 1; j < numberOfColumns; j++){
/* select column from row */
arr[i][j] = rs.getString(j);
/* System.out.println("Value arr: " + arr[i][j]); */
con.close();
return arr;

As promised in an earlier in the thread, here is my working code. It'll dynamically create an array, fill it with data and pass it back to the calling routine. Good for any select statement but I would refrain from ones that select too much data.... It's good for my project but may not be great for yours..... Enjoy....

Stop auditing select statements issued against SYS objects

Hi,
My current client has a requirement to track destructive updates (i.e. insert, update, delete) issued by users who can connect directly to the database. At the moment though, SELECT statements issued against SYS-owned objects are also being captured to the Oracle audit trail. For the time being at least these need to be disabled.
I've issued NOAUDIT SELECT TABLE/SEQUENCE and NOAUDIT SELECT ANY TABLE/SEQUENCE commands, as has a user with the SYSDBA privilege, and they're still being logged. Is there any way to switch these off? I don't know if it's significant (I'm not a DBA by trade) but the audit_sys_operations parameter is set to True.
My client is currently running Oracle Database 10.2.0.5.0 standard edition.
If anyone has any suggestions I'd be grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Hi,
Thanks for the input so far ...
@Eduardo and KarK ...
show parameter audit
audit_file_dest string D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ADMIN\USSUPM2\ADUMP
audit_sys_operations boolean TRUE
audit_trail string DB, EXTENDED
If we set audit_sys_operations to FALSE, won't that stop auditing of all actions carried out by, for example, someone who connects as SYSDBA? That is something that's still needed to be captured. Unfortunately they go to the WIndows Event Log but at least they're captured somewhere.
@Hemant
This auditing was in place before my client took me on, so I can't say what was used to initiate it unfortunately. What I can say though is that they absolutely don't want to turn off auditing by SYS- type users, just SELECT against SYS-owned objects.
Thinking simplistically, could I just write a script which trawls dba_objects for sys-owned tables, views and sequences and explicitly issues a noaudit select against what's found, and get one of the sysdba-type people we have access to to run it?
Thanks in advance (again)

I have the following select statement. It has the alias Survivors, Deaths and "All Cases". Is it posible to use :P_LANGUAGE variable to say that -- IF :P_LANGUAGE = FRENCH THEN alias are Survivants for survivors, Décès for Deaths, Tous_les_cas for All Cases. Please advise
SELECT ALL T_NTR_MULTIBAR.CAT, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_LEFTBAR AS Survivors,
T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_MIDDLEBAR AS Deaths, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_RIGHTBAR AS "All Cases"
FROM T_NTR_MULTIBAR
WHERE INSTANCE_NUM = :P_INSTANCENUM
order by ORDERS

You may not be able to add this condition inside the SQL Statement. But you can add this condition outside the statement, if you're using PL/SQL...
IF :p_language = french THEN
SELECT ALL t_ntr_multibar.cat,
t_ntr_multibar.num_cases_leftbar AS survivors,
t_ntr_multibar.num_cases_middlebar AS deaths,
t_ntr_multibar.num_cases_rightbar AS "All Cases"
ELSE
END IF;

How to get all values from an interval using select statement

Hi,
Is it possible to write a select statement that returns all values from an interval? Interval boundaries are variable.
something like this:
select (for x in 1,1024 loop x end loop) from dual
(this, of course, doesn't work)
The result in this example should be 1024 rows of numbers from 1 to 1024. These numbers are parameters, so it is not possible to create a table with predefined values.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Mia.

For your simple case, with a lower boundary of 1, you can use:
SELECT rownum
FROM all_objects
WHERE rownum <= 1024For a set of number between say 50 - 100, you can use something like:
SELECT rownum + (50 - 1)
FROM all_objects
WHERE rownum <= (100 - 50 + 1)Note, that all_objects was used only because it generally has a lot of rows. Any table with at least the number of rows in your range will work.

Select statement operators in ecc 6.

Hi Experts,
I have a small doubt about the '>=' ( greater than or equal to ) operator usage in select statement. Is this operator by any chance perform not as desired in ECC 6.0. Is it a good option to use 'GE' instead of '>='. ?
It may sound a bit awkward, but still I would like to know. I am facing a situation, which could be related to this. An early response would be highly appreciated.
I would request,you NOT TO REPLY with links/explanations which says how to use select statement. Only answer if you have the answers related to this query.

????? Every Open SQL statements is translated to the SQL slang the underlying database is talking regardless if you type GE or >=
If the result differs using >= or GE i would open a call at SAP instead of asking in SDN.

How to find the number of fetched lines from select statement

Hi Experts,
Can you tell me how to find the number of fetched lines from select statements..
and one more thing is can you tell me how to check the written select statement or written statement is correct or not????
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Look for the system field SY_TABIX. That will contain the number of records which have been put into an internal table through a select statement.
For ex:
data: itab type mara occurs 0 with header line.
Select * from mara into table itab.
Write: Sy-tabix.
This will give you the number of entries that has been selected.
I am not sure what you mean by the second question. If you can let me know what you need then we might have a solution.
Hope this helps,
Sudhi

Use of LIKE in where clause of select statement for multiple records

Hi Experts,
I have a account number field which is uploaded from a file. Now this account numbers uploaded does not match fully with sap table account numbers but it contains all of the numbers provided in the file mostly in the upright positions.
For example in file we have account number as 2ARS1 while in sap table the value is 002ARS1.
And i want to fetch data from sap table based on account number uploaded. So, i am trying to use LIKE with for all entries but its not working as mentioned below but LIKE is not working with FOR ALL ENTRIES.
data : begin of t_dda occurs 0,
        dda(19) type c,
       end of t_dda.
data : begin of t_bukrs occurs 0,
        bukrs type t012k-bukrs,
       end of t_bukrs.
data : dda type t012k-bankn,
       w_dda type t012k-bankn.
CONCATENATE '%'
                         '2ARS1'
                 INTO W_DDA.
MOVE W_DDA TO T_DDA-DDA.
APPEND T_DDA.
CLEAR T_DDA.
free t_bukrs.
SELECT BUKRS
FROM T012K
into TABLE t_bukrs
    for all entries in t_dda
WHERE BANKN like t_dda-dda.
Can anybody suggest what should i use to get the data for multiple account numbers using one select statement only instead on using SELECT UP TO 1 ROWS in LOOP....ENDLOOP ?
Thanks in advance,
Akash

Hi,
yes, For All entries won't work for LIKE with '% '.
I think the other alternative is go for Native SQL by writing sub-query
sample code is here:
data: begin of i_mara occurs 0,
          matnr like mara-matnr,
          matkl like mara-matkl,
       end of i_mara.
exec sql.
select matnr, matkl from mara where matnr in (select matnr from marc) and matnr like '%ma' into :i_mara
endexec.
loop at i_mara.
write:/ i_mara-matnr, i_mara-matkl.
endloop.
hope u got it.
regards
Mahesh

What is the use of additon in up to 1 rows in SELECT statement

Hi All,
         What is the use of up to 1 rows in select statement.
for example
SELECT kostl
      FROM pa0001
      INTO y_lv_kostl UP TO 1 ROWS
      WHERE pernr EQ pernr
      AND endda GE sy-datum.
    ENDSELECT.
I'm unable to get in wat situations we hav to add up to 1 rows
please help me out...
Thanks,
santosh.

Hi,
Use "select up to 1 rows" only if you are sure that all the records returned will have the same value for the field(s) you are interested in. If not, you will be reading only the first record which matches the criteria, but may be the second or the third record has the value you are looking for.
The System test result showed that the variant Single * takes less time than Up to 1 rows as there is an additional level for COUNT STOP KEY for SELECT ENDSELECT UP TO 1 ROWS.
The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns the first record of the result set.

Secondary Index Select Statement Problem

Hi friends.
I have a issue with a select statement using secondary index,
SELECT SINGLE * FROM VEKP WHERE VEGR4 EQ STAGE_DOCK
                                  AND VEGR5 NE SPACE
                                  AND WERKS EQ PLANT
        %_HINTS ORACLE
        'INDEX("&TABLE&" "VEKP~Z3" "VEKP^Z3" "VEKP_____Z3")'.
given above statement is taking long time for processing.
when i check for the same secondary index in vekp table i couldn't see any DB index name with vekp~z3 or vekp^z3 or vekp____z3.
And the sy-subrc value after select statement is 4. (even though values avaliable in VEKP with given where condition values)
My question is why my select statement is taking long time and sy-subrc is 4?
what happens if a secnodary index given in select statement, which is not avaliable in that DB Table?

Hi,
> ONe more question: is it possible to give more than one index name in select statement.
yes you can:
read the documentation:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/A97630_01/server.920/a96533/hintsref.htm#5156
index_hint:
This hint can optionally specify one or more indexes:
- If this hint specifies a single available index, then the optimizer performs
a scan on this index. The optimizer does not consider a full table scan or
a scan on another index on the table.
- If this hint specifies a list of available indexes, then the optimizer
considers the cost of a scan on each index in the list and then performs
the index scan with the lowest cost. The optimizer can also choose to
scan multiple indexes from this list and merge the results, if such an
access path has the lowest cost. The optimizer does not consider a full
table scan or a scan on an index not listed in the hint.
- If this hint specifies no indexes, then the optimizer considers the
cost of a scan on each available index on the table and then performs
the index scan with the lowest cost. The optimizer can also choose to
scan multiple indexes and merge the results, if such an access path
has the lowest cost. The optimizer does not consider a full table scan.

BI Publisher : SELECT statement in RTF template

Hi Guys
I have written a BI Publisher Report using XML file created from Oracle Reports(in Oracle Apps).
Repors runs from Oracle Apps perfectly ok. Now I need to fetch some data from couple of tables and display on the Report.
I am wondering whether I can directly code SELECT statement in RTF file rather than messing with Oracle Report(.rdf) file.
Please advise.
Thanks and Regards
Vijay

Hey Vijay,
You cannot query in RTF using select :)..
You have to mess/play with RDF to do it ;)
Oh wait, did i say , we cannot in RTF, we can , but that is difficult approach to go with., keep this as an end of the world option.
