Date in where Clause

I have a table which has date column. I would like to run the query which will pull the data for last 7 days.
Date format looks like that : 2015-01-05 10:58:16000
Not sure why my query not working
Select * from Table1
where date < getdate() -7
simam

Thats not entirely accurate:
WHERE date > CAST(DATEADD(DAY,-7,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) AS DATE)
The previous solution would exclude any date columns that occured 7 days ago prior to the current time. (2014-12-31 16:22:22.357)

Using Date in where clause

Hello all,
I am new to Oracle, currently using 10G + aspvbscript.
I've been trying to query data using date in where clause but nothing seems to work.
The column is in date format.
It gets printed out like this: 5/1/2010 11:21:19 AM
I tried using this query:
SELECT * from table where TRUNC(user_date) > to_date('FEB-01-2010:00:00:00','mm-dd-yyyy:HH24:MI:SS') order by user_date asc.
It does return an output but it returns everything in table and does not take WHERE clause into consideration however, it does sort the date in ascending order.
I've tried getting rid of TRUNC tried to format date in a different way but no such luck.
Please point me to the right direction.
Thanks.

Welcome to the forums!
In cases like this it is helpful if you can provide the following information:
1. Oracle version (SELECT * FROM V$VERSION)
2. Sample data in the form of CREATE / INSERT statements.
3. Expected output
4. Explanation of expected output (A.K.A. "business logic")
5. Use \ tags for #2 and #3. See FAQ (Link on top right side) for details.
I'll try and take a stab at your request based on the data given. What your query says is that it will return all rows that have a date greater then 2/1/2010 (MM/DD/YYYY). If your query is returning all rows then maybe the possibility exists that all the dates in the table are greater then 2/1/2010. Have you checked all dates to see if this is the case?
Also, one note about your TO_DATE() function.to_date('FEB-01-2010:00:00:00','mm-dd-yyyy:HH24:MI:SS')The date format does not match the string you are using with respect to month. Your string has 'FEB' but the format is 'MM' which is the numeric representation of the month. Although Oracle was able to convert it to the proper date on my system you should try and maintain consistency between the string and the date format used.

Using multiple dates in WHERE clause

I have a multiple select box in a form. I am trying to select
records in SQL using the list that this form field produces. They
are dateTime values. How do I use this list in the WHERE clause of
my select statement?

Man, I really hate posting anywhere near Dan - I've been
watching his mastery for years. (Talk about the big leagues) But
here goes anyway...
I've gotten my little behind kicked by more than a view date
issues, and I have basically gotten away from exact matches (unless
you really need them).
I'd probably do something like this:
SELECT field1,field2...
WHERE datetime_column_in_db > (OR LTE,OR GT/LT)
'#datetimeformatyoulike(form.datetimevalue1)#
Basically, finding records in RELATION to the form's datetime
value has always been much easier for me.
And God (and Dan) have mercy on my soul...

Compare Date in where clause

Hi,
I have query which i used to display the new status that happend. Here in the where clause i am checking the dates for comparisiion but the query say no data found
But data found in the table Please suggest how to put a join condition on dates. or is there any other way to write this query
select distinct SDM from PROJECT_START_UP
where project_name = :p1_projects and
check_id = 44 and
CREATION_DATE like (select max(CREATION_DATE) from project_start_up where check_id = 44)
Thanks
Sudhir

Why you're using LIKE operator instead of '='??
Please try whether you have data
select distinct SDM from PROJECT_START_UP
where project_name = :p1_projects and
check_id = 44 If above query returned data, then run
select distinct SDM from PROJECT_START_UP
where project_name = :p1_projects and
check_id = 44 and CREATION_DATE = (select max(CREATION_DATE) from project_start_up where check_id = 44)- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Date in where clause without Trunc

Hi,
How handle a date comparision in where clause without trunc. Rightnow I am using it with 'trunc', it is very slow..
Select ColumnA, ColumnB
From Sample
Where trunc(created_date,'DD-MON-YY') = '15-NOV-2011';
CREATE TABLE SAMPLE
     ColumnA NUMBER(9,0)           NOT NULL,
     ColumnB VARCHAR2(255)      NOT NULL,
     created_date                DATE
   );

Hi,
Here's one way:
SELECT ColumnA, ColumnB
FROM      Sample
WHERE      created_date     >= TO_DATE ('15-NOV-2011', 'DD-MON-YYYY')
AND     created_date     < TO_DATE ('15-NOV-2011', 'DD-MON-YYYY') + 1
;If you have an index on created_date. then this query will be able to use that index, because created_date is alone on one side of the operator.
Another reason why this will be faster is that it only has to call TO_DATE twice, regardless of how many rows are in the table. The original query had to call TRUNC for every row.
Don't compare a DATE (such as the results of TRUNC) to a string (such as '15-NOV-2011'). You're liable to get a run-time error, or, if youre not so lucky, unexpected results.

Can't Export data if WHERE clause contains AND/OR

I am able to export the results of a query if the WHERE clause only has one condition. But if there is and AND or an OR, you can right-click and choose Export Data, but nothing happens.
For example, the following will Export just fine:
SELECT * FROM DUAL
WHERE ROWNUM = 1;
But throw in an 'AND', and it won't Export:
SELECT * FROM DUAL
WHERE ROWNUM = 1 AND ROWNUM < 2;
I am running Ver 1.5.3 and haven't applied any patches.

Unfortunately, as part of trying to fix other issues with the export functionality, 1.5.3 introduced problems where certain types of SQL statements wouldn't export (either nothing happened as you are seeing or reporting error messages like ORA-936). While it is not yet perfect, 1.5.5 handles exporting results much better (it copes with your case that fails in 1.5.3), so I would suggest you upgrade to 1.5.5.

works fine.
where unit_id = 4 and t_id = 's09' and vb like '%amb%' and date between dt1 and dt2

Removing 2 years from date in where clause

I have a table that has a date and I want to select all the rows where the date is between the current date and 2 years back.
What is the cleanest way to do it?
I have the this so far

Thank youHello
You should always compare dates to date. Don't convert to string as it is unnecessary and it will mess up the comparison for ranges. You can use the ADD_MONTHS function like so...
SELECT
FROM
   your_table
WHERE
   your_date_column >= ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(sysdate),-24)
AND
   your_date_column < TRUNC(SYSDATE) + 1HTH

Qualifying Expression and WHERE CLAUSE Extension

I would like to know the exact difference between 'Qualifying Expression and WHERE CLAUSE Extension'. Since both are meant to contain some CONDITION that would facilitate the Edit Check's success, So I am sometimes a bit confused with these too as to when to use what.
Can someone help Please??

As you can tell from my previous posts (requests!) - I'm a newbie to OC.
From the documentation - it appears that both Qualifying expression and Where Clause work the same way but the way they execute is different.
Qualifying expression is applied after the fetch (key fields and question response data from DCM cursor i.e., after the cursor fetches the data) and Where clause filters before QG fetch.

Difference of 'Specify Fragmentation Content' and 'where clause Filter ' ?

What is the difference of ‘Specify Fragmentation Content’ and ‘where clause Filter ‘
As per my understanding Both looks like limit the data ?

'Specify Fragmentation Content’ is for Union-ing tables, e.g. one table has data for 2008 while other has 2005-2007, so 'Specify Fragmentation Content’ tells server where to go look for data.
'Where clause Filter' is for limiting data from the table, e.g. where status = 'Funded'

Be careful; post the code you're actually running.

query 2: select count(*) from TEST_DATA where fdate between trunc(sysdate) and trunc(SYSDATE) + .99999;

My questions:
1) Why isn't the index t_indx used in Execution plan 1?To use an index, the indexed column must stand alone as one of the operands. If you had a function-based index on TRUNC (fdate), then it might be used in Query 1, because the left operand of = is TRUNC (fdate).
2) From the execution plan, I see that query 2 & 3 is better than query 1. I do not see any difference between execution plan 2 & 3. Which one is better?That depends on what you mean by "better".
If "better" means faster, you've already shown that one is about as good as the other.
Queries 2 and 3 are doing different things. Assuming the table stays the same, Query 2 may give different results every day, but the results of Query 3 will never change.
For clarity, I prefer:
WHERE fdate >= TRUNC (SYSDATE)
AND fdate < TRUNC (SYSDATE) + 1(or replace SYSDATE with a TO_DATE expression, depending on the requirements).
3) I read somewhere - "Always check the Access Predicates and Filter Predicates of Explain Plan carefully to determine which columns are contributing to a Range Scan and which columns are merely filtering the returned rows. Be sceptical if the same clause is shown in both."

JSP, Data Web Bean, BC4J: Setting the where clause of a View Object at run time

Hi,
I am trying to develop a data web bean in which the where clause of a View Object will be set at run time and the results of the query then displayed.
My BC4J components are located in one project while the coding for the data web bean is in another project. I used the following code bu t it does not work. Could you please let me know what I am doing wrong?
public void populateOSTable(int P_EmpId)
String m_whereString = "EmpView.EMP_ID = " + P_EmpId;
String m_OrderBy = "EmpView.EMP_NAME";
oracle.jbo.ApplicationModule appModule = null;
ViewObject vo = appModule.findApplicationModule("EMPBC.EMPAppModule").findViewObject("EMPBC.EMPView");
vo.setWhereClause(m_whereString);
vo.setOrderByClause(m_OrderBy);
vo.executeQuery();
vo.next();
String empName numAttrs = vo.getAttribute(EmpName);
System.out.println(empName);
Thanks.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by JDev Team (Laura):
Here is how I have usually done mine:
1. In the JSP, use a RowsetNavigator bean to set the where clause and execute the query.
2. Use a custom web bean to process the results of the query (print to HTML).
for example:
<jsp:useBean class="oracle.jbo.html.databeans.RowsetNavigator" id="rsn" scope="request" >
<%
// get the parameter from the find form
String p = request.getParameter("p");
String s = request.getParameter("s");
// store the information for reference later
session.putValue("p", p);
session.putValue("s", s);
// initialize the app module and view object
rsn.initialize(application,session, request,response,out,"wt_bc_WT_bcModule.wtjoinView");
// set the where clause string
String theclause = "presname = '" + p + "' AND slideno=" + s;
// set the where clause for the VO
rsn.getRowSet().getViewObject().setWhereClause(theclause);
rsn.getRowSet().getViewObject().executeQuery();
rsn.getRowSet().first();
%>
</jsp:useBean>
<jsp:useBean class="wt_bc.walkthruBean" id="wtb" scope="request" >
<%
// initialize the app module and VO
wtb.initialize(application,session, request,response,out,"wt_bc_WT_bcModule.wtjoinView");
wtb.render();
%>
In this case, the render method of my custom web bean mostly gets some session variables, and prints various content depending on the session variable values.
Hope this helps.

Laura can you give the code of your walkthru bean? i wna't to initialize a viewobject, set the where clause and give that viewobject back to initialize my navigatorbar.

Date functions in WHERE clause? HELP

The following two queries are identical except for how I supply the date values in the where clause, yet the first query using the a custom my_date function runs 30x slower than the one using the TO_DATE() function. Both return DATE types...any reason for the difference?
SELECT * from outcomes
WHERE start_time >=fn_my_date('START_MONTH')
AND start_time < fn_my_date('END_MONTH')+1
-- This runs 30x faster--
SELECT * from outcomes
WHERE start_time >=TO_DATE('08/01/2001','MM/DD/YYYY')
AND start_time < TO_DATE('08/31/2001','MM/DD/YYYY')+1
On the flip side, I've also experienced queries running slower using the TO_DATE() function vs the LAST_DAY(sysdate) for equivalenet dates.
null

I haven't seen the message coming up when using LENGTH or SUBSTR, but every time I connect to a database or attempt to change my preferences (including the "NLS Parameters: Comp" preference), this appears.
You are attempting to set the preference you should be to switch this from ANSI to something else, but SQL Developer is ignoring the preference setting (which I think is a bug).
A way to set the NLS_COMP to something else is to use something like "alter session set nls_comp = BINARY;". Note that changing any preference after that appears to overwrite this and you need to do this for each new connection you start.

Date format in a where clause

Hi Gurus,
I'd like to filter the data displayed in a report according to the date,we have an agenda for meetings,when I open the meetings report,it should display only the meetings of today,here what I did:
where meeting_date =
nvl(to_char(:tday,'dd-mm-yyyy'),to_char(sysdate,'dd-mm-yyyy'))this where clause is put in the query of the region source,
tday is a date picker to allow the user to change the date if he wants to navigate to other dates (other than today)
It gives me the error 'ora-01722'
where I went wrong?
Putting in mind that the meeting_date column contains meeting time too,what ever the meeting time is,if it is for today it should be displayed.
Mohammad

Hi,
Not sure if this will help but maybe you could try:
where to_char(meeting_date,'dd-mm-yyyy') =
nvl(to_char(:tday,'dd-mm-yyyy'),to_char(sysdate,'dd-mm-yyyy'))
or perhaps this one:
where to_char(meeting_date,'dd-mm-yyyy') =
nvl(:tday,to_char(sysdate,'dd-mm-yyyy'))
Thanks,
Richard.
