Need a query to find a table by two of its column names

I work in software quality assurance. Oftentimes I am trying to figure out from which table data is being pulled, but the database has thousands of tables to look through. Instead of looking through all the tables, I just take a guess at one of the column names and execute a query like this:
SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.columns WHERE column_name like '%pur%code%'
That usually works, but occassionally it can return hundreds of table names which doesn't help me much. Instead, I'd like to form a query that could take two column names and return all the tables that have those columns.
So, in English, I want to say:
"Give me the names of all the tables that have a column named like %pur%code% and another column named like %client%loc%"
How do I do this?

One might have hoped that the QA guy actually had sufficient documentation to tell him which table information was "pulled from".
(or is he actually checking that the documentation is accurate and complete .... )
SQL> select phrase from well_known
where upper ( phrase ) like '%PIG%' and upper ( phrase ) like '%FLY%'

I have more than 500 tables in my database.
'insert_date' & update_date column is found in more
than 100 tables with data type as date.
I need a query to list all table names and
'insert_date' column's content.What do you mean by "column's content". A table can have many rows. Do you want to display all the distinct value for these columns?
Below is the query to get the tables which has columns insert_Date and update_date
select table_name
from user_tab_columns
where column_name ='INSERT_DATE'
or column_name ='UPDATE_DATE'
/You can write a PL/SQL block to retrive the distinct values of INSERT_DATE for these tables
declare
TYPE ref_cur IS REF CURSOR;
insert_date_cur ref_cur;
lv_insert_date DATE;
cursor tables_list IS
select table_name
from user_tab_columns

for cur_tables in tables_list

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('--------------------------------');
LOOP
FETCH insert_date_cur into lv_insert_date;
EXIT WHEN insert_date_cur%NOTFOUND;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(lv_insert_date);
END LOOP;
CLOSE insert_date_cur;
end loop;
end;I haven't tested this code. There might be some errors. Just posted something to start with for you.

Extract Time from date and Time and Need XLMOD Funtion to find the Difference between Two Time.

X6 = "1/5/15 5:16 AM" & NOW ....................difference by Only Time
not date
X6 date and Time will be changing, Its not Constant
Dim myDateTime As DateTime = X6
            Dim myDate As String = myDateTime.ToString("dd/MM/yy")
            Dim myTime As String = myDateTime.ToString("hh:mm tt")
            Dim myDateTime1 As DateTime = Now
            Dim myDate1 As String = myDateTime1.ToString("dd/MM/yy")
            Dim myTime1 As String = myDateTime1.ToString("hh:mm tt")
Need to use this function to find the Difference between Two Time. due to 12:00 AM isuue
Function XLMod(a, b)
    ' This replicates the Excel MOD function
    XLMod = a - b * Int(a / b)
End Function
Output Required
dim dd = XLMod(myTime - myTime1)
Problem is myTime & myTime1 is String Need to convert them into Time, Later use XLMOD Funtion.

Induhar,
As an addendum to this, I thought I'd add this in also: If you have two valid DateTime objects you might consider using a class which I put together a few years ago
shown on a page of my website here.
To use it, just instantiate with two DateTime objects (order doesn't matter, it'll figure it out) and you'll then have access to the public properties. For this example, I'm just showing the .ToString method:
Option Strict On
Option Explicit On
Option Infer Off
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.Load
Dim date1 As DateTime = Now
Dim date2 As DateTime = #1/1/1970 2:35:00 PM#
Dim howOld As New Age(date1, date2)
MessageBox.Show(howOld.ToString, "Age")
Stop
End Sub
End Class
I hope that helps, if not now then maybe at some point in the future. :)
Still lost in code, just at a little higher level.
Thanx frank, can use this in Future....

Using "FIND IN TABLE" to search in selected columns

Hi,
I want to use "FIND" to search for a pattern in certain table columns only, but ABAP Keyword Documentation ([FIND IN TABLE itab|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPFIND_ITAB.htm]) does not state about this option.
Is it possible to do so?
Thanks,
Joon Meng

Hi,
1. if you want to find particular record u can use
READ TABLE itab { table_key | free_key | index } result.
2. if you want to compare the fied value level u can use
log_exp - Logical Expressions
CO, CN, CA, NA, CS, NS, CP, NP

Can I create a view based on two tables that have the same column name?

I have two tables A and B. Each table has 50+ columns.
I want to create a view that includes all the columns in A and all the columns in B. I created a view with a select statement that says
Select A.*, B.*
From A, B
where A.id = B.id
It returns an error because in each table I have a column that keeps track if a record has been changed called Modified_By. That's where it chokes up on I figure. I would like to write the view without explicitly writing each column name from A and B as part of the select statement. The actual select statement works fine and only bombs when trying to turn the select statement into a view.

You will have to type the full column list at least once. You can save a few keystrokes (i.e. alias. on every column) by providing the column names to the CREATE part instead of in the SELECT part. Something like:
SQL> desc t
Name                                      Null?    Type
ID                                                 NUMBER
NAME                                               VARCHAR2(10)
SQL> desc t1
Name                                      Null?    Type
T_ID                                               NUMBER
LOC_ID                                             NUMBER
NAME                                               VARCHAR2(15)
SQL> CREATE VIEW t_v (id, t_name, t_id, loc_id, t1_name) AS
2 SELECT t.*, t1.*
3 FROM t, t1
4 WHERE t.id = t1.t_id;
View created.HTH

Hi Prajapati,
In your scenario, you can use Properties and Datediff function to achieve your requirement. Since not know the structure of your cube, we cannot give you the esact query.
I have tested it on the AdventureWorks cube, the query below is for you reference.
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[StartDate]
AS
[Employee].[Employee Department].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES('Start Date')
MEMBER [Measures].[WorkYear]
AS
DATEDIFF('yyyy',[Measures].[StartDate],NOW())
MEMBER [Measures].[Status]
AS
IIF(DATEDIFF('yyyy',[Measures].[StartDate],NOW())>10,1,0)
SELECT {[Measures].[StartDate],[Measures].[WorkYear],[Measures].[Status]} ON 0,
[Employee].[Employee Department].[Employee].MEMBERS ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works]
Results

Need a query to find newline characters data( either chr(10) or chr(13))

I have 5 columns in a table and these columns have newline characters data( either chr(10) or chr(13)).
Now I need to fetch data so that all the records which have new line character( either chr(10) or chr(13) ) in any of these 5 columns should be retrieved.
Please help me with a correct query for this task.
Edited by: nav on Jun 2, 2011 10:21 PM

An example .. you can do it for all 5 columns adding "OR" conditions
with t as
(select 'Arun'||chr(10) a, 'Gupta'||chr(13) b from dual union all
select 'Dinesh'||chr(10) a, 'Kumar'||chr(13) b from dual union all
select 'Naresh'||chr(10) a, 'Raja' b from dual union all
select 'Harish' a, 'Mahesh' b from dual union all
select 'Jatin'||CHR(13) a, 'Mahesh' b from dual
select * from t
where a like '%'||CHR(10)
       or a like '%'||CHR(13)
       or b like '%'||CHR(10)
       or b like '%'||CHR(13)       Regards

Query to find relevant Table name

Hi i need a SQL query which should return me relevant table names. i.e. if there is table 'EMP' , then query should give table names with below result:
EMP
EMP_1
EMP_2
EMP_3
EMP_4
i.e. All tables which is starting with EMP (No Hardcoding of table, It should be dynamic way).I know we can achieve through SELECT * FROM USER_OBJECTS WHERE OBJECT_NAME LIKE 'EMP%'.
But here object_name i will passing dynamically.
Actually my main purpose is to create backup tables i.e. EMP is main table and EMP_1,EMP_2,EMP_3 .. EMP_100 is backup table.Now whenever i am making the any changes in EMP table, then i should take the backup of exiting EMP table and backup data should go to EMP_101 (as last table with sequence is EMP_100).
Any idea in SQL , PL/SQL i would appreciate .
Thanks

here is a way:
set serveroutput on
declare
tab_name varchar2(30) := 'EMP';
new_tab_name varchar2(30);
begin
for i in (
        select * from (
            select t.*,
                    row_number() over(order by t.table_name desc) as row_nr ,
                    min(table_name) over () as originiall_table
                    from all_tables t
            where table_name like tab_name||'%'
        ) where row_nr = 1
) loop
    new_tab_name := substr(i.table_name, 1, instr(i.table_name, '_') - 1 )
                    ||'_'
                    || (TO_NUMBER(substr(i.table_name, instr(i.table_name, '_') + 1 )) + 1 ) ;
    execute immediate 'create table '||new_tab_name||' as select * from '||i.originiall_table;
end loop;
end;but why do you want to keep too many copies of tables in db?
anytime you will get problems with tablespaces.
