Null values not returned

Friends it is strange that when I run a query like
SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE_TABLE WHERE EMP_DEPT_CODE != '01'
doesnt return me records with EMP_DEPT_CODE = null ...which I thought is not = '01' !!
Please tell me why is this happening.I am looking for materials and they are not at all helpful.
Thanks
MS

NULL is not equivalent to != '01' because a NULL is unknown
Here's an exercise
SQL> select * from test_1;
FLD1
01
02
03
4 rows selected.
SQL> select * from test_1 where fld1 !='01';
FLD1
02
03
2 rows selected.
SQL> select * from test_1 where nvl(fld1,'99') != '01';
FLD1
02
03
3 rows selected.

How to clear alert when a null value is returned for a metric column?

Hey all,
Recently, I've encountered a problem about clearing alert when a null value is returned for a metric column. From Oracle official doc, it seems that NO_CLEAR_ON_NULL could be used for this propose. However, it doesn't.
Here is the line from doc, you can see when NO_CLEAR_ON_NULL is set as FALSE, the null value will clear alert, and the default value for NO_CLEAR_ON_NULL is FALSE.
NO_CLEAR_ON_NULL: This attribute is used to control severity clearing when a null value is returned for a metric column. It defaults to FALSE with the behavior that a null value ends up clearing previous alert severities. With a TRUE value for this attribute, null values will be skipped in severity evaluations without clearing the severity.
TRUE | FALSE (default)
STATELESS_ALERTS: This attribute if set to TRUE indicates to EM that alerts on this
column will not have corresponding clears. This allows the UI to decide whether to
allow users to manually clear alerts on this column.
TRUE | FALSE (default)Here is my code for the metric,
-- meta definition
<Metric NAME="Flushing_Table_Overtime" TYPE="TABLE" HELP="NO_HELP">

Would anyone give me a hint?
Thanks in advance!

WARNING. Do not confuse SQL*Plus with PL/SQL.
There is no variable command in PL/SQL. PL/SQL does support the boolean data type.
There is a variable command in SQL*Plus. It allows one to define bind variables. It is limited in the data types it supports. It does not support boolean as a bind variable type.
SQL*Plus is a CLI (Command Line Interface) client tool. It has a very limited vocabularly, allowing you to (primarily):
a) configure its local environment (e.g. size of the terminal ito number of characters per lines)
b) configure its bevahiour (e.g. spooling data to a file)
c) defining substitution and bind variables
And that's it. It is not PL/SQL. It is not SQL. It takes the PL/SQL and SQL you enter, and submit that to the Oracle server. (it does some basic parsing of the data to substitute variables and bind variables where applicable)
Do not confuse this CLI client tool with the server side PL/SQL or SQL languages.

NULL value not validated for a Required field

Hi,
I have added a MessageLovInput item to the expense header page (/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/GeneralInformationPG), and have made the Required Value to True. But I do not get any error when I navigate to the next page without populating the field. If I enter in incorrect information, it validates it against the LOV, but not for null values.
Any pointers to make the field validate NULL values?
Thanks,
Ashish

Yeah.. I can see the Required field indicator (*) next to the field. I have tried with all the values (uiOnly, ValidatorOnly, Yes etc.), but it does not validate NULL values.
I'll try to handle this in the controller, but would prefer if this can be done by personalization.

Dimension with one value not returned

Hi all,
I have a question related with the dimensions returned by the Endeca search results.
There is one dimension, which has only one single value for all records, that is not returned with the Endeca search results.
Do you know why can this happen?
Many thanks,
Alejandra

Alejandra,
Yes. Guided navigation only returns "valid refinements" for a given navigation state. In other words, after each refinement is made, the Endeca Server recalculates which refinements are now valid. Valid refinements are those that, if selected, will filter the result set further. If every record in a result set carries the same dimension with the same value, the Endeca Server will not return it since it is not valid as a refinement. If every record has it, selecting it would not refine the results further -- rather, it would return the same collection of records that is already displayed effectively accomplishing nothing.
I suspect that EVERY record in your Endeca Server has the same value for a dimension and, by design, the Endeca Server is not returning it in guided navigation.
HTH,
Dan

Null values not allowed in object-parameter for esb proxy invocation

When I create a proxy service for my esb webservice and try to invoke this service from my ADF Application I was always getting the exception 'unexpected null value for literal data'.
I've figured out what went wrong through debugging the proxy-classes of the esb-service.
You need to define an input-value for each attribute of which your object is constituted. After I've initialized each variable in the object, which is the input-parameter of my esb proxy, everything works fine.

Null values not displaying in the LOV on the parameter form.

My report works perfect while in Oracle Reports 10g, however when I move it to our menu (Oracle Forms 10g) it does not display the null in the LOV on the parameter form.
This report allows the the user to select by inspector or district or everyone for certain dates.
Ex: I have 4 parameter fields. The user must enter the start & end dates and either the Inspector or the district or leave the inspector or district null to run for everyone.
The district LOV is :
select dnr_section_code, description from dnr_section_code where dnr_section_code in ('29', '38','52')
UNION
select null, 'All' from dual
order by 2 asc ;
The inspector LOV is:
select null , 'All' from dual
UNION
select person_seq, first_name||' '||last_name inspector from vw_eng_inspectors
order by 2 asc
In my Data Model query I use the :
My select
from tables
where clause
+
----by inspector
and (prod_fac_inspections.person_seq_inspector =
nvl(:inspector,prod_fac_inspections.person_seq_inspector))
---by district
and
(d.dnr_section_code = nvl(:district,d.dnr_section_code)
and d.person_seq = prod_fac_inspections.person_seq_inspector)
Again, it works perfect in Reports! It eliminates having 3 reports on the menu. This one report gives the user the option of selecting dynamic parameters.
Also, I got so frustrated, that I went a different route of using a default where.
I am stuck with the error of ORA:00933 SQL command not ended properly

I set the initial value to 1=1 and it does not like it.

Null values not equal

I'm writing some reports that are pulling possible duplicates out of a table. I have to base the query on several nullable columns in my table. I was tired of writting (a.column1 = b.column1 or (a.column1 IS NULL and b.column1 IS NULL)) for every column being compared so i wrote the following function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION equivalent (
in_one     VARCHAR2,
in_two     VARCHAR2)
RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
IF in_one = in_two THEN
     RETURN 1;
ELSIF in_one IS NULL AND in_two IS NULL THEN
          RETURN 1;
END IF;
     RETURN 0;
END equivalent;
Now I just pass equivalent(a.column1, b.column1) = 1. The problem is that this seems to take considerably longer. Does anybody know why or have a suggestion to speed things up?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thakns in advance,
Chris S.

There is always an overhead to calling PL/SQL. If you're running on 9i you could try compiling your function as native C; that way it will run almost as fast as kernel code. If you want to save yourself a bit of typing you could try this:
nvl(a.column1, 'Chris is ace!!') = nvl(b.column1, 'Chris is ace!!') Of course, you need to substitute some more buisness-like but equally non-valid phrase for 'Chris is ace!!'
- er - if you know what I mean. And it still won't use any indexes.

Using Convert to handle NULL values for empty Strings ""

After having had the problem with null values not being returned as nulls and reading some suggestion solution I added a converter to my application.
<converter>
    <converter-id>NullStringConverter</converter-id>
    <converter-for-class>java.lang.String</converter-for-class>
    <converter-class>com.j2anywhere.addressbookserver.web.NullStringConverter</converter-class>
</converter>
...I then implemented it as follows:
public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object object)
    System.out.println("Converting to String : "+object);
    if (object == null)
      System.out.println("READING null");
      return "NULL";
    else
      if (((String)object).equals(""))
        System.out.println("READING null (Second Check)");
        return null;
      else
        return object.toString();
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value)
    System.out.println("Converting to Object: "+value+"-"+value.trim().length());
    if (value.trim().length()==0 || value.equals("NULL"))
      System.out.println("WRITING null");
      return null;
    else
      return value.toUpperCase();
...I can see that it is converting my values, however the object to which the inputText fields are bound are still set to empty strings ""
<h:inputText size="50" value="#{addressBookController.contactDetails.information}" converter="NullStringConverter"/>Also when reading the object values any nulls are already converted to empty strings before ariving at the converter. It seems that there is a default converter handling string values.
How can I resolve this problem as set nulls when the input value is an empty string other then checking every string in my class individually. I would really hate to pollute my object model with empty string tests.
Thanks in advance
Edited by: j2anywhere.com on Oct 19, 2008 9:06 AM

I changed my converter as suggested :
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value)
    if (value == null || value.trim().length() == 0)
      if (component instanceof EditableValueHolder)
        System.out.println("SUBMITTED VALUE SET TO NULL");
        ((EditableValueHolder) component).setSubmittedValue(null);
      else
        System.out.println("COMPONENT :"+component.getClass().getName());
      System.out.println("Converting to Object: " + value + "< to " + null);
      return null;
    System.out.println("Converting to Object: " + value + "< to " + value);
    return value;
}which produces the following output :
SUBMITTED VALUE SET TO NULL
Converting to Object: < to null
Info : The INFO line however comes from my controller object where I print out the set value :
package com.simple;
import java.util.ArrayList;

public class Controller
private String information;
/** Creates a new instance of Controller */
public Controller()
    System.out.println("Createing Controller");
    information = "Constructed";
public String process()
    System.out.println("Info : "+getInformation());
    return "processed";
public String reset()
    setInformation("Re-Constructed");
    System.out.println("Info : "+getInformation());
    return "processed";
public String setNull()
    setInformation(null);
    System.out.println("Info : "+getInformation());
    return "processed";
public String getInformation()
    return information;

NULL value in LOV not displaying in Viewer as NULL

Discoverer Viewer: 10.1.2.54.25 CP4
I have a list of values ('A','B','C',NULL).
In desktop the drop down shows
A
B
C
NULL
However in viewer I get
A
B
C
When I select the area just under C, which I presume to be NULL, it allows me to move it over. However when I'm ready to run the query, it informs me that I have not selected a value. I can manually key in NULL and the query will execute without a hitch.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Jamie

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you need.
But your LOV show the DNAME and return the DEPTNO, so of course the LOV will return the DEPTNO even if the DNAME is null.
To return null if the DNAME is null, indeed you can use decode but in the return value :
select dname d, decode(dname,null,null,deptno) r
from test_dept
order by 1

T-SQL: SET Statement Using a Case Statement is not returning a value

SQL VER: 2008
Please see the attached screenshot from SSMS. The Set statement below is not returned a value or may be returning a zero value. The AllocPercent field is set to zero in code preceeding this Update Statement:
AllocPercent
=
CASE
WHEN AllocBase
IS
NULL
OR AllocBase
= 0
THEN 0
ELSE PM_Input/AllocBase
END
As you can see by the screen shot from the Select Statement that is displaying the results after the Update Statement is completed, the value of AllocPercent is = 0 even though all the values necessary for it to compute a value > 0 are present in the
table. Incidentally, the values in both the AllocBase and PM_Input fields are the same before the Update Statement is ran, as shown in the Select ran after the Update Statement.
I have ran this type of code several times with never a problem. This seems really simple, but I just can't seem to get it to compute.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
bob sutor
Bob Sutor

Yep--This statement is running in a Stored Procedure and inside its own block statement.
I did get a response that suggested I change the SET statement as follows, that worked:
AllocPercent
= CASE WHEN AllocBase IS NULL OR AllocBase = 0 THEN 0.00 ELSE cast(PM_Input*1.0/AllocBase*1.0
as decimal(6,2)) END
Your response did get me thinking which was great! I appreciate your help.

SELECT statement not returning NULL records

I have the following SELECT statement:
SELECT *
FROM RPT_DS1_CNT_CAT
WHERE DUPS_SAME <> 'N/A';
I also tried:
SELECT *
FROM RPT_DS1_CNT_CAT
WHERE DUPS_SAME != 'N/A';
Same results - There ARE Null DUPS_SAME values
which are not being selected. I get NO results.
When I execute this, I do get NULL values.
SELECT *
FROM RPT_DS1_CNT_CAT
WHERE DUPS_SAME IS NULL;
How can I ensure that I get all non - 'N/A' records
if it won't pick up the nulls? Is there a function
I can use or a different wording? I do want to use
!= or <> because there may be other values besides
'N/A' such as 'YES' or 'NO' and they may be null or
filled with spaces.

The expression
NVL(DUPS_SAME,'') is meaningless. You're saying "If DUPS_SAME is NULL, return the empty string, which is NULL, otherwise return DUPS_SAME." If you're going to use NVL, the string that gets returned if the column is NULL should be non-NULL, i.e.
NVL(DUPS_SAME,'DUPS_SAME was NULL') Your query should, as others have pointed out, either be
SELECT *
FROM rpt_ds1_cnt_cat
WHERE dups_same <> 'N/A' OR dups_same IS NULLor
SELECT *
FROM rpt_ds1_cnt_cat
WHERE NVL(dups_same, 'DUPS_SAME is NULL') <> 'N/A' Either of these return the same results as your query but they're going to be far clearer for whoever needs to maintain the code. There may be performance differences as well if DUPS_SAME is indexed depending on the data distribution...

Standar ws ProjectByPartyQueryResponse_In is not returning any values

Hi gurus,
I'm trying to use the standar webservice ProjectByPartyQueryResponse_In in our landscape in order to get all the projects related to the person responsible for the project but the web service is not returning any values.
When I execute the service -using soapui- with the following values (or any other value for that matters):
<PartyID>20000143</PartyID>
<PartyRoleCode>ZA</PartyRoleCode>
The web service always returns :
       <Log>
            <BusinessDocumentProcessingResultCode>5</BusinessDocumentProcessingResultCode>
            <MaximumLogItemSeverityCode>3</MaximumLogItemSeverityCode>
            <Item>
               <TypeID>002(ECC_SE_COMMON)</TypeID>
               <SeverityCode>3</SeverityCode>
               <Note>No records returned for ZA 0020000143</Note>
            </Item>
         </Log>
The party Id exists and also de party role code and there is at least one project that has that party with that role. I'm sure because I use other web service to find a project by id and in the result the project has the <Party> section with those values.
I was looking for solutions, notes, threads in forums with no success, then i decided to debug the webservice and I did find the following line in the webservice code.
SELECT objnr INTO TABLE it_data FROM ihpa
WHERE parvw = role_code AND
         parnr = party_id AND
         obtyp = 'PDN'.
when that line executes the select always returns 0 values, then I look in the table IHPA using the SE16 without any filter and I found that my records exists!! but the select does not get it. I was wondering why the select is not working and then I filter the data in the SE16 using the same values that the query does
for example:
PARVW= ZA
PARNR = 20000143
OBTYP = PDN
And I was surprised when the SE16 did not found any value even I was seeing in the previous screen with no filters!!!! And I supouse thats why the webservice is not working. I started making filters one by one, for example firts filtering just de PARVW = ZA and works, but when I filter just the PARNR = 20000143 the SE16 can't find any value, just when I put an * at the end of the number the SE16 returns all the values expected, Im guessing that the fields in the database has blanks at the end but this is a standar table and a standar program.
Have any of you had the same problem? is there anything that I can do? does anyone knows if this is an unkown bug? becaus I could'n find any note on the marketplace.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi!
The problem were solved but not using the Badi, because the badi only let you change the value of the var party_id and that var is declared as PARNR (of type numeric with length 10), and no mater wat you do the two 00 can´t be removed.
We solved the problem with an enhancement point in the code at the method "party_get_data", look at the beginin and at the end. We just change the type of var used for party_id.. now we use a CHAR one insted the numeric used by the original code.
And we repeat the select...
Thank you very much for the help.
