Need help with a SQL qurey that returns multiple rows for one record?

I have the following query where I use a CASE WHEN clause to determine the date of a shift that begins with "FRLO" on day1 - day14 of the pay period. It works great if a schedule record contains one day that begins "FRLO", but if more than one day is "FRLO" then it only returns the first day it finds and not the others. Is there some way to get the query to return a ron for every day 1 - 14 that begins "FRLO"? System if Oracle 11G
Order of the results is not important as this is part of a larger query that orders the results.
Thanks in advance for any help,
George

Do you have the opportunity to change the data model to have one day per row ? It would make this easier to get this result without the need for a 14-way CASE or UNION.
If not...
The case statement will return as soon as it matches one of the conditions. Since you want a match when any column in the row starts with FRLO you can use a UNION ALL treating each column as a separate result. There may be more efficient ways to do this, but here is one way:

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

You mean an image such as a scanned document?
If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

How to create a function that returns multiple rows in table

Dear all,
I want to create a funtion that returns multiple rows from the table (ex: gl_balances). I done following:
-- Create type (successfull)
Create or replace type tp_gl_balance as Object
PERIOD_NAME VARCHAR2(15),
CURRENCY_CODE VARCHAR2(15),
PERIOD_TYPE VARCHAR2(15),
PERIOD_YEAR NUMBER(15),
BEGIN_BALANCE_DR NUMBER,
BEGIN_BALANCE_CR NUMBER
-- successfull
create type tp_tbl_gl_balance as table of tp_gl_balance;
but i create a function for return some rows from gl_balances, i can't compile it
create or replace function f_gl_balance(p_period varchar2) return tp_tbl_gl_balance pipelined
as
begin
return
(select gb.period_name, gb.currency_code, gb.period_type, gb.period_year, gb.begin_balance_dr, gb.begin_balance_cr
from gl_balances gb
where gb.period_name = p_period);
end;
I also try
create or replace function f_gl_balance(p_period varchar2) return tp_tbl_gl_balance pipelined

return;
end;
Please help me solve this function.

Print Child SQL which is returning multiple rows to single colum.

I have a requirement to print both Parent and Child SQLs rows to single row.
For Ex:
Parent row is returning single row
Id, Name, Primary Rate.
101, LName,FName ,30
Child row is returning multiple rows
Id, Name, Secondary Rate
101, LName,FName,15
101, LName,FName,10
The end result should be
101,LName,FName,30,15,10
Any suggestions please?

Why no tab add-ins that enable multiple rows for Firefox 4???

I geneally have lots of tabs open at any given time. I traditionally use TabKit, TabMix, and others that let me use multiple rows of tabs (among other options). I have not been able to find ANY add-ons that support multiple rows. There is sadness across the land.

The mentioned "Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar Plus" add-on specifically addresses bookmarks, while the question is regarding the tabs.

Help! Need oracle help with constructing stored procedure that return resultsets

Suns tutorial path for returning resultsets from stored procedures indicates that the following should work...
CallableStatement cs = con.prepareCall("{call SHOW_SUPPLIERS}");
ResultSet rs = cs.executeQuery();
Thats if you build your stored procedure something like this ...
String createProcedure = "create procedure SHOW_SUPPLIERS " + "as " + "select SUPPLIERS.SUP_NAME, COFFEES.COF_NAME " + "from SUPPLIERS, COFFEES " + "where SUPPLIERS.SUP_ID = COFFEES.SUP_ID " + "order by SUP_NAME";
We are using oracle 8.1.6. However I've been told that with oracle procedures when you return a result set from a called procedure you return a p_cursor variable. Somthing like this
(p_cursor in out SHOW_SUPPLIERS.SHOCurTyp)
is
begin
open p_cursor for
select * from suppliers
In which case the above mentioned sun code doesn't work.
We want to use jdbc to call a stored procedure that returns a resultset that does not require us to import any proprietary oracle objects...
Is there another way to write these stored procedures, rather than using this cursor construct? Are we missing something in the way we invoke them?

I need help with a backup file that was deleted and now undeleted from my hard drive

Last month (May 6, 2011), I was updating my iPod Touch 4G with the new software that came out. I always make a backup of my iPod's data before I update it. While my iPod was updating I left my iPod and computer alone and was doing things around the house with my mom. And when I was done I went in my room to see if it was done and my computer decides that it was going to freeze and crash on me (with my iPod plugged in and stuck on the updating or verifying software mode.) I managed to get my iPod back to working condition again but losing everything on my iPod. I formatted my computer hard drive but I managed to get back the backup I lost. I need help on getting the backup into iTunes so I can get my data back. I am not Jailbroken and I plan not to Jailbreak. I however saved the backup file in a folder other than the Mobilesync folder. I am also running on Windows XP. Someone please help me and thank you in advance!

I was able to backup my iPod and I tried to restore my iPod again and it goes through the process and everything but it restores the temporary data that I had on there. It didn't restore application data or the current photos and videos that I had saved in Camera Roll before this all had happened. It is almost like it goes back to factory settings but I have some photos that were saved on the other backup that I was temporarily running on. The backup that I am looking to restore is the only backup file in the Mobilesync folder as of right now the others are saved somewhere safe for right now. Why doesn't it restore my application data or my Camera Roll pictures and videos that I saved before my computer crashed last month? Can this problem be fixed?

Need help with PL/SQL functions

Hi,
Is there a way to compare if a set of elements is present in another set using some function?
Example: Is it possible to find out if all words present in 'BANQUE SAFRA SA' is present in 'BANQUE JACOB SAFRA (SUISSE) SA' using some function in Oracle 9i?
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Boneist,
your solution would giv "false positives":

4                  select 'BANQUE SAFRANE SA' col1 from dual)
5 -- end of mimicking your data. USE SQL below!
6 select * from my_tab

COL1
BANQUE JACOB SAFRA (SUISSE) SA
BANQUE SAFRA SA

Need a Dynamic SQL statgement that returns multiple values.

Hi,
I'm using Oracle 10.1.0.5.
In an anonymous block I have a dynamic SQL statement that finds the table name and column name that a string value resides in.
It looks like this:
      l_sql := 'SELECT 1 FROM dual WHERE exists (SELECT 1 FROM '||
               r.owner||'.'||r.table_name||' WHERE '||r.column_name||
               ' = :b1)';

preferably as another dynamic SQL statement.
How can I do this?

Hi,
I'm using Oracle 10.1.0.5.
In an anonymous block I have a dynamic SQL statement that finds the table name and column name that a string value resides in.
It looks like this:
l_sql := 'SELECT 1 FROM dual WHERE exists (SELECT 1 FROM '||
r.owner||'.'||r.table_name||' WHERE '||r.column_name||
' = :b1)';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE l_sql INTO l_res USING l_contents;
DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line(l_contents||' exists in '||r_owner||
r.table_name||'.'||r.column_name);I'd then like to do a 'Select Distinct' to list all the other values in that column in the anonymous block,

How can I do this?Well, it would be nice for you to post the whole context of your present solution so we know what's going on. I'll assume r comes from a loop referencing user_tab_cols or some equivalent view.
If so, you'll likely need to check the DATA_TYPE column.
Keeping in mind, doing something like this is going to be pretty ridiculous if you have a large amount of distinct values ... I'm hoping/assuming this is a one off type of thing.
declare
type        l_date is table of date;
v_date      l_date;
type        l_char is table of varchar2(4000);
v_char      l_char;
type        l_numb is table of number;
v_numb      l_numb;
l_distinct_ set sys_refcursor;
begin
<current_code>
open l_distinct_set for 'select distinct ' || r.column_name || ' from ' || r.owner||'.'||r.table_name;
--expand on the data types you care about as needed, this is a BASIC set
if r.data_type = 'DATE'
then
    fetch l_distinct_set bulk collect into v_date;
    <process_collection_as_wanted>
elsif r.data_type in ('VARCHAR2', 'CHAR')
then
    fetch l_distinct_set bulk collect into v_char;
    <process_collection_as_wanted>
elsif r.data_type = 'NUMBER'
then
    fetch l_distinct_set bulk collect into v_numb;
    <process_collection_as_wanted>
end if;
close l_distinct_set;

Need help with this sql query

the following query returns me the correct no of rows:
select col1 from tab1 where
col1 like '%'||chr(32)||'%';
but i need to use my query in the following form and it doesn't return any row:
select col1 from tab1 where
col1 IN ('%'||chr(32)||'%');
what am I doing worng?
thanks in advance.

Or in 10g (just recycling another example):
WITH t AS (SELECT 'OPTI1457' || CHR(32) col1
             FROM dual
            UNION
           SELECT 'OPT123' || CHR(9)
             FROM dual
            UNION
           SELECT 'OPTIM12345'
             FROM dual
SELECT t.*
FROM t
WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(t.col1, CHR(32) || '|' || CHR(9))
;       C.

Need help with pl/sql tables

i am trying but iam not understanding this....
Evaluate this program fragment:
DECLARE
TYPE user_tab_rec IS RECORD (
db_user dba_users.username%TYPE,
DBA_TAB dba_tables%ROWTYPE);
TYPE user_rec_tab IS TABLE OF test_rec
INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
Tab_rec dba_tables%ROWTYPE;
Obj_owner dba_objects.owner%TYPE;
begin
(processing)
end;
What line will generate an error?
1.
TYPE user_tab_rec IS RECORD (
2.
db_user dba_users.username%TYPE,
3.
DBA_TAB dba_tables%ROWTYPE);
4.
TYPE user_rec_tab IS TABLE OF test_rec
5.
INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
6.
Tab_rec dba_tables%ROWTYPE;
7.
Obj_owner dba_objects.owner%TYPE;
The correct answer is b. The line in b attempts to define a PL/SQL TABLE TYPE using a record that contains a composite datatype, which is not allowed. Answers a, c, and d are incorrect because they will not generate any errors when compiled.
how can line b attempt to define a pl/sql table type..........
thank u ramsy

The correct answer is bB? I see no B.
Do you mean three?
But then again
maybe line ten.
Because (processing) isn't
valid syntax you see.
I know, I know
Let's see what'll go.
And then we'll see
Is it A B or C?

Table A:
Development schema
branding_code,company_id
Table B:
Gogot schema
name_desc,...Those aren't CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements. Post something that the people who want to help you can run on their own systems to re-create the problem and test their ideas.
o/p:
branding_code,name_desc
I should return these column as o/p, no i/pA query will do that. There's no need for a function.
There are good reasons for wanting a functin. If you have one, say what it is. Explain how you plan to use the function.
Have you tried writing a function? Post your code. What specific problems did you have?
