Finding a table with a like %name% in a schema

What is the query I should use to find a table with a like %name% in a schema?
Thank you for any help

select * from all_tables
where owner = 'YOUR_SCHEMA' and lower(table_name) like '%name%'

How can I check if there is a table with the given name ?

I'm using 8i and 9i.
Could anybody teach me how to check if there is a table with a certain name in SQLPLUS without using SELECT
statement ?
I want to use the following logical procedure.
if exists "table_to_be_deleted" then drop table "table_to_be_deleted"
Or, is there any system table that I can check the names of tables like
count = select "table_to_be_deleted" from "an_oracle_system_table"
if ( count != 0 ) then drop table "table_to_be_deleted"
Thanks,
John

Just create it, but be aware that DDLs can't be executed directly from Pl/Sql, so you'll have to use dynamic Sql, e.g. :
SQL> create table test(a number);
Table created.
SQL> begin
2 drop table test;
3 exception
4 when others then
5 null;
6 end;
SQL> /
drop table test;
ERROR at line 2:

Is it possible to have 2 tables with the same name in an Orable database?

Hello,
I'm a complete Oracle newbie so please excuse my question if it's stupid.
I was trying to create 2 tables with the same name using different tablespaces but it does not seem to work. Like this (second time just change the name of the tablespace):
CREATE TABLE test_tbl (
id INTEGER,
status VARCHAR2(10),
last_modified DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE
TABLESPACE tblspc1Is it in general in Oracle possible to acquire this goal?
Thanks a lot!
P.S. I have already created the needed tablespaces
CREATE TABLESPACE tblspc1 DATAFILE 'tblspc1.dbf' SIZE 10MEdited by: 808239 on 02-Mar-2011 02:18

It is not possible to create two tables with same name in same schema.
A user can own one schema with his own name and another with the schema name SYS.
For this you have to grant sysdba privilage to the user and then have to connect using sys password or with the password specified in password file.
But this still you have to access to the table in sys schema using sys.table_name.
Hope Answered tthe Question.

Reference all tables with the same name

If I have multiple worksheets that each have an identically structured table "Test", is it possible to create a formula in a cell of another worksheet that references the same range of cells in every table "Test"? So far I haven't found a way to reference cells in a table with an ambiguous name without having to prepend the worksheet name to the reference like so: 'Worksheet 1' :: Test :: B3:C4. What I want to be able to do is say Test :: B3:C4 and have the formula reference B3:C4 in all "Test" tables.
Thanks!

You've picked the correct descriptive term. Such a reference would indeed be "ambiguous".
You might be able to reference a set of disconnected ranges of cells, but each range would have to be explicitly described.
You might be able to collect the values in the cells into a single array in a single table, then reference that array in your formula.

Barry
PS: "Sheets" in Numbers have little in common with "Worksheets" in MS Excel. Using the Numbers vocabulary can help keep the distinction more clear, and avoid unwarranted expectations.

Many to many join table with different column names

Hi have a joint table with different column names as foreign keys in the joining
tables...
e.g. i have a many to many reltnshp btwn Table A and Table B ..and join table
C
both have a column called pk.
and the join table C has columns call fk1 and fk2
does cmd require the same column name in the join table as in the joining table?
are there any workarounds?
thanks

HI,
No, the foreign key column names in the join table do not have to match the primary
key names in the joined tables.

Generating table with XML Type column while registering schema

Hi,
Is it possible to generate a table with an XML Type column during schema registering. Does the "xdb:defaultTable" always create an XMLType table?
Thanks.

WCF-SQL table operation on tables with the same name.

Hello,
My situation involves generating table operation schemas (Insert, Update, Delete, Select) for tables in two different SQL databases. These tables happen to have the same name. For the sake of discussion lets call the tables dbo.Customer. However,
these tables have different fields in them. When generating the schemas to be used by BizTalk, they end up as the same message type like so:
Database1: http://schemas.microsoft.com/Sql/2008/05/TableOp/dbo/Customer#Update
Database2: http://schemas.microsoft.com/Sql/2008/05/TableOp/dbo/Customer#Update
To my understanding, I can't simply change the namespaces or root nodes to be unique since this structure is expected by the SQL Adapter (shown here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd788023.aspx). I had a couple thoughts on a solution:
Use schema versions to differentiate between the two different table schemas.
Use a unique namespace and root node for the schemas. Then, create a custom pipeline component to modify them to the standard as it is sent to SQL server.
Modify the schema so support both tables with all columns in both tables.
I don't really like any of these solutions, so I am hoping somebody in the community has run into this situation before and has something better.
-Richard

You don't really have to do anything other than make sure the particular message gets routed always to the correct database.
Having duplicate MessageType's is only a problem if you're relying on the automatic resolution of the XmlDisassembler and that would only be a concern on the Response side.
To get around that, just create a custom Pipeline with the XmlDisassembler and set the Document Schemas list to only the one for that Port.

Opening of tables with non english names in Smart View

Hi All,
I can't open tables with russian names with Smart View. English named tables works fine, and Russian names opens in wrong encoding as a name of Excel worksheets like this - #1087;оис. So no table opens. What's wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance,

Where statement on two different tables with same column name

Hello,
I have 2 financial tables:
tblincome, tblexpenses
in each table I have column name "monthPayed" (have values of all the months of the year).
I would like to create a balance view table that will show me the financial status for the Q1 (for example).
I have a column totalIncome and totalExpended respectively.
I've create a view table that shows me the financial balance at the moment but I want it to be devide to Quarters of the year...

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules. Temporal data should
use ISO-8601 formats. Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect.
This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums. Where is the code you already tried? Or are you so lazy, so rude or so privileged that you did not do anything for yourself?
In fact that silly “tbl-” prefix is so bad that it has a name! It is called Tibbling and Phil Factor even wrote a humor article on bad programmers that use it.
Your narrative is vague; it sounds like this is the DDL:
CREATE TABLE Incomes
(payment_month CHAR(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
income_amt DECIMAL(12,2) NOT NULL
CHECK (income_amt > 0.00),
CREATE TABLE Expenses
(payment_month CHAR(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
expense_amt DECIMAL(12,2) NOT NULL
CHECK (expense_amt > 0.00),
>> in each table I have column name "monthPayed" (have values of all the months of the year). <<
I hope not! 2014 has not gotten to September, November or December yet! And the ISO-11179 data element name should be “payment_month”; but it is still wrong! An expense is not a payment! An income is not a payment!
>> I would like to create a balance view table that will show me the financial status for the Q1 (for example). <<
Report Period Table
Since SQL is a database language, we prefer to do look ups and not calculations. They can be optimized while temporal math messes up optimization. A useful idiom is a report period calendar that everyone uses so there is no way to get disagreements in the DML.
The report period table gives a name to a range of dates that is common to the entire enterprise.
CREATE TABLE Something_Report_Periods
(something_report_name CHAR(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
CHECK (something_report_name LIKE <pattern>),
something_report_start_date DATE NOT NULL,
something_report_end_date DATE NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT date_ordering
CHECK (something_report_start_date <= something_report_end_date),
etc);
These report periods can overlap or have gaps. I like the MySQL convention of using double zeroes for months and years, That is 'yyyy-mm-00' for a month within a year and 'yyyy-00-00' for the whole year. The advantages are that it will sort with the ISO-8601
data format required by Standard SQL and it is language independent. The pattern for validation is '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]-00-00' and '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[01][0-9]-00'
Now figure it out for yourself, show us what effort you put into this, then we will help you.

Creating Dynamic Internal table with a dynamic name

Hi,
I want to create dynamic internal tables with dynamic names.
For example:
Suppose I have a table with three fields.
1. Structure name
2.Fields
3.file
And the structure of the internal table is as follows:
TYPES:BEGIN OF table_type,
      struct                  TYPE char70,
      fields                   TYPE tt_type OCCURS 0,
      File                      TYPE ttab_type OCCURS 0,
      END OF table_type.
Suppose I have one record inside my internal table with struct as "STRUCTURE", fields have an internal table content of set of fields and File has some set of records.
Now I want to create dynamic internal table whose name will be "STRUCTURE" , the fields of the dynamic internal table structure[] will be as in fields, and the records will be as in File.
Like this if i have 100 records in my internal table then I have to create 100 dynamic internal table dynamically.
Can anyone suggest how to do this?

Create a Union query that automatically adds/contains new tables with a similar name

Dear All,
For a research project i am upscaling from an Access database to SQL server/ SQL azure since the database got far too large. Now i am quite well known with Access, but to be quite honest, I am a SQL rookey. So a lot to learn for me here.
what I need is a union query that automatically adds new research dumps to the query. All research dumps have a table name starting with TD_EXP (Table Dump _ Export). In Access VBA I simply made a loop that builds up the SQL statement, but i have no clue
how to do this within SQL Server...
So, I need the UNION Query to select * from TD_Exp_2012_06_06_15_48 UNON all the TD_Exp_XXXX_XX_XX_XX_XX that are added in the database,
Who could help me out please with a dynamic SQL statement.
Best regards Jurjen

you can use INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES view for that
do like below
DECLARE @Query varchar(max)
SELECT @Query = STUFF((SELECT ' UNION ALL ' + 'SELECT * FROM ' + TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME LIKE 'TD_EXP%' FOR XML PATH('')),1,11,'')
SELECT @Query
Add one more condition as below if you want to exclude views from above
DECLARE @Query varchar(max)
SELECT @Query = STUFF((SELECT ' UNION ALL ' + 'SELECT * FROM ' + TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME LIKE 'TD_EXP%' AND TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE' FOR XML PATH('')),1,11,'')
SELECT @Query

Dynamic creation of table with variable field-names

HI
I am looking for a way in order to create a table during runtime. The problem is that the field names of the table are provided in another table.
TO illustrate the case at hand, an example:
The initial table contains the fields
UserID - attribut_name - attribute_value
Example Data
d00587 - first_name    - Jon
d00587 - last_name     - Smith
d00587 - age           - 48
d00127 - first_name    - Jack
d00127 - last_name     - Daniels
d00127 - position      - Manager
Now I need to create a table per User that looks as follows:
for user d00587
first_name - last_name - age
**Values
Jon         - Smith      - 48
for user d00127
first_name - last_name - positioin
Jack        - Daniels    - Manager
I split the initial table by sorting it according to userID and then looping into an itab with an AT END OF userid, thus I receive the table per user:
Example iTab
UserID - attribut_name - attribute_value
Example Data
d00587 - first_name    - Jon
d00587 - last_name     - Smith
d00587 - age           - 48
However I have no clue on how to create a new internal table with field-names = attribute_name.
Does anybody have an idea or example code for this?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Kind regards,
Mingolo

ASSIGN gdo_data->* TO <gt_itab>.
In your case, you would call the function module with your tables (D00587, D00127). Remove all fields from the fieldcatalog that you do not need before calling the static method.

View of tables with double column names

Hello,
my problem is that in my database schema the name of the primary-key-column in one table has the same name as the corresponding foreign key-column in another table. Now i want to create a view of those two tables and get an error (double column names).
Is there any chance to avoid this error without rename all my column names (cause this happens many many times)?
Thanks for any help.
Christoph

Hi,
In SQL you cas prefix the column with its data container. Use this and it'll be OK. This is not an error, it's expected and absolutely normal behaviour.
SQL> desc dual
Name Null? Type
DUMMY VARCHAR2(1)
SQL> select D1.DUMMY, D2.DUMMY
2 FROM DUAL D1, DUAL D2
3 WHERE D1.DUMMY = D2.DUMMY;

Create n tables with different number names

Hi guys, I work with SQL Server 2008 and OS Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bits. I have to create 10 tables with different names e.g. 'Image1', 'Image2', and so on. For this goal, I use a loop and concatenation. Here is the code:
DECLARE @i INT
DECLARE @v_table_n CHAR
SET @i=1
SET @v_table_n='Image'
WHILE (@i<=10)
BEGIN
    DECLARE @STR VARCHAR(100)
       SET @STR = 'CREATE TABLE SQL_DB_Filestream.dbo.Image1' + @v_table_n + CAST(@i AS VARCHAR(10)) + ' (
   [ID_RowFeatVec] INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
       [CF1] FLOAT,
   [CF2] FLOAT,
       [CF3] FLOAT
       EXECUTE @STR
    SET @i = @i + 1;
END
GO
As a result, an error message appears:
"The name 'CREATE TABLE SQL_DB_Filestream.dbo.Image1I1 (
    [ID_RowFeatVec] INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY' is not a valid identifier."
I have tried a lot of versions but it doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong?
Best wishes

1) An SQL Programmer would write ten CREATE TABLE statements. Are you old enough to know about Rube Goldberg? He was a cartoonist who invented inanely complex device for simple task!
2) Ten identical tables is a huge design flaw. It is so awful I want to use it in one of my books. Tables are sets. A set is completed whole, or as Cantor said “a many that is treated as a one” (it sounds cool in German or Esperanto).
3) We hate loops in SQL. This is a declarative language. I will bet you have no idea what that means.
What you want to do is mimic a magnetic tape file system from the 1950's. We used to put a label on the tapes based on the date or a sequence number. Not a completed whole.

Retrieving Data from different Tables with same tuple name

Hi,
I am made the following query from different tables. A tuple "name" is appearing in some tables. So when I run the qiery in a Java class, it delivers the same result of c.name, bpl.name and p.name. The result of c.name is correct, but the other 2 names are overwritten. It works perfect in a postgreSql query tool. How can I correct it, plz?
SELECT c.ad_client_id, c.name, o.c_order_id, o.ref_order_id, bp.name, bpl.name, o.dateordered, o.datepromised, od.c_orderline_id,p.m_product_id,p.name, cur.iso_code, od.qtyordered

Hi,
create alias, if u have similar field names as below. Use the alias name (rs.getString("cname") and rs.getString("bpname") and so on ) to retrive data.
SELECT c.ad_client_id, c.name as cname, o.c_order_id, o.ref_order_id, bp.name as bpname, bpl.name as bplname, o.dateordered, o.datepromised, od.c_orderline_id,p.m_product_id,p.name as pname, cur.iso_code, od.qtyordered
