VARCHAR problem with ORAData

Hello,
I am trying to implement Object functionilities of Oracle.
My ORAData implementation is now working correctly, well at least working correctly for integer values. For VARCHAR fields I am getting garbage.
The query that I am using for ORAData is giving correct values at SQLPlus but when I query inside the Java application I am getting garbage.
So is there something, is an encoded string is coming from Database????
Thx in advance.

Add nls_charset12.jar to your runtime classpath or characters will display in hexadecimal.

Problem with JDBC and VARCHAR-Columns

Hi,
i have a problem handling VARCHAR-Columns via JDBC.
I.e. by using the JDBC-components of <SunONE Community Edition Update 1> any attempt to store any other then numeric values (like "0", "01", "999" etc.) in a column of type VARCHAR results in an error.
After entering the string "test" in a JTextArea or JTextField (which is linked by its document to the VARCHAR-column) i will receive:
"java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "st"/For input string: "st". I also tried the javax.sql. rowSet methods like updateString() with the same result.
Are there any knwon issues corresponding to this behaviour?

Hi Arnd,
if I understand right you are trying to insert/update value into a Varchar(1000) column. And if you set a non numeric value you get an exception "java.lang.NumberFormatException", Right?
Of course this should work with MaxDB. The exception you get doesn't come from MaxDB's JDBC driver. The driver will only throw exceptions that are derived from java.sql.Exception.
So, I guess the error comes from a layer above the JDBC layer, possibly from the JDBC-components of <SunONE Community Edition Update 1>. This would also explain why you don't see any exception in the JDBC trace.
Did you have defined any constraints for the input field (JTextArea or JTextField)?
Hope that helps.
regards,
Marco

Problem with varchar keycolumn

Hi
I am configuring an unidirectional replication from Oracle to Oracle, but i get the following error on my replicat process
when updating a row on the source database which primary key is a varchar value.
2012-09-20 17:11:37 WARNING OGG-01004 Aborted grouped transaction on 'SCH.TABLE', Database error 1403 (O
CI Error ORA-01403: no data found, SQL <UPDATE "SCH"."TABLE" SET "SOME_DATE" = :a1 WHERE "ID_VALUE" = :b0>).
I issue the following command on source database and it works fine:
UPDATE "SCH"."TABLE" SET "SOME_DATE" = sysdate+10 WHERE ID_VALUE = '001031';
But on target database the replicat process throws that error "ORA-01403" and then ABENDS, even that the row does exist on the
target database.
I have tried using a deffile with the same result, and i don't want to discard the row because i need both databases to be sync.
Is this happening because the keyvalue has "0" characters at the begging?
Is there any parameter that i should use to indicate the replicat this kind of values is spected?
Thankyou.

The error was due to i didn't execute the command ADD TRANDATA on my table
i thought that it was enough with adding SUPPLEMENTAL LOG DATA to the database.
I configured a discard file and here is what is show:
Discarded record from action ABEND on error 1403
OCI Error ORA-01403: no data found, SQL <UPDATE "SCH"."TABLE" SET "SOME_DATE" = :a1 WHERE "VALUE_ID" = :b0>

The error of no data found is due to the keycolumn is null because of the lack of the tranddata.

Problem with exp/imp transport_tablespace=y & CLOBs

All,
I am having a problem with values in a CLOB column when exporting/importing a database using "transport_tablespace" command line option.
Some background:
Origin: 9i Windows
Destination: 10g Windows
Export/import work without warnings. But this SQL command:
SELECT DUMP(CAST(TEXT_VALUE AS VARCHAR(4000)), 1017)
FROM SE_PSOI.SEPROPTEXT
WHERE TEXT_ID = 316161
Gives me from the 9i database:
Typ=1 Len=18 CharacterSet=UTF8: U,n,d,e,r, ,C,o,n,s,t,r,u,c,t,i,o,n
But the following from the 10g database:
Typ=1 Len=54 CharacterSet=UTF8: e5,94,80,e6,b8,80,e6,90,80,e6,94,80,e7,88,80,e2,80,80,e4,8c,80,e6,bc,80,e6,b8,80,e7,8c,80,e7,90,80,e7,88,80,e7,94,80,e6,8c,80,e7,90,80,e6,a4,80,e6,bc,80,e6,b8,80
It appears as if there is some sort of charset issue to me. I've tried working with the environment NLS_LANG value when I export and import (and other text values come through OK - just the CLOB is the problem). After Googling and searching the forums here I am unable to find an answer.
Can someone help me or point me in the right direction?
Regards,
Matthew Lesko

I have a problem with JDBC Realm in Tomcat/Oracle/Win XP

I have a problem with JDBC Realm in Tomcat.
I have attached my server.xml file located in the
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\server.xml
The Problem is that when I login I get the user name and password prompt but it does not resolve.
When I enter in the tomcat-users.xml password with memory realm uncommented it works fine.
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\tomcat-users.xml
Is there a cache or something I need to reset for the JDBC Realm to work?
I have attached my tables and contents as well...
Did I miss something????
Thanks

Problem with dynamic LOV and function

Hello all!
I'm having a problem with a dynamic lov in APEX 3.0.1.00.08. Hope you can help me!
I have Report and Form application. On the Form page i have a Page Item (Popup Key LOV (Displays description, returns key value)).
When i submit the sql code in the 'List of vaules defention' box. I get the following message;
1 error has occurred
LOV query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different. If your query contains an in-line query, the first FROM clause in the SQL statement must not belong to the in-line query.
When i excecute the code below in TOAD or in the SQL Workshop it returns the values i want to see. But somehow APEX doesn't like the sql....
SELECT REC_OMSCHRIJVING d, REC_DNS_ID r FROM
TABLE(CAST(return_dns_lov_fn(:P2_DNS_ID) AS dns_table_type)) order by 1
returns_dns_lov_fn is a function, code is below;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION DRSSYS.return_dns_lov_fn (p2_dns_id number)
RETURN dns_table_type
AS
v_data dns_table_type := dns_table_type ();
BEGIN
IF p2_dns_id = 2
THEN
FOR c IN (SELECT dns_id dns, omschrijving oms
FROM d_status dst
WHERE dst.dns_id IN (8, 10))
LOOP
v_data.EXTEND;
v_data (v_data.COUNT) := dns_rectype (c.dns, c.oms);
END LOOP;
RETURN v_data;
END IF;
END;
and the types;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE DRSSYS.dns_rectype AS OBJECT (rec_dns_id NUMBER, rec_omschrijving VARCHAR2(255));
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE DRSSYS.dns_table_type AS TABLE OF dns_rectype;
I tried some things i found on this forum, but they didn't work as well;
SELECT REC_OMSCHRIJVING display_value, REC_DNS_ID result_display FROM
TABLE(CAST(return_dns_lov_fn(:P2_DNS_ID) AS dns_table_type)) order by 1
SELECT REC_OMSCHRIJVING display_value d, REC_DNS_ID result_display r FROM
TABLE(CAST(return_dns_lov_fn(:P2_DNS_ID) AS dns_table_type)) order by 1
SELECT a.REC_OMSCHRIJVING display_value, a.REC_DNS_ID result_display FROM
TABLE(CAST(return_dns_lov_fn(:P2_DNS_ID) AS dns_table_type)) a order by 1

I just had the same problem when I used a function in a where clause.
I have a function that checks if the current user has acces or not (returning varchar 'Y' or 'N').
In where clause I have this:
where myFunction(:user, somePK) = 'Y'
It seems that when APEX checked if my query was valid, my function triggered and exception.
As Varad pointed out, check for exception that could be triggered by a null 'p2_dns_id'
Hope that helped you out.

Problem with SQL Insert

Hi
I am using Flex to insert data through remoteobject and using
SAVE method generated from CFC Wizard.
My VO contains the following variables where id has a default
value of 0 :
public var id:Number = 0 ;
public var date:String = "";
public var accountno:String = "";
public var debit:Number = 0;
public var credit:Number = 0;
id is set as the primary key in my database.
I have previously used MySQL which automatically generates a
new id if I either omitted the id value in my insert statement or
use 0 as the default value.
However, now I am using MS SQL Server and the insert
generated this error:
Unable to invoke CFC - Error Executing Database Query.
Detail:
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Cannot insert
explicit value for identity column in table 'Transactions' when
IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.
Strange thing is that I dont see this problem with another
sample application. I compared with that application (it has the
same VO with default value of 0 for id) and everything looks
similar so I can't understand why I have this error in my
application.
This is SQL used to create the table:
USE [Transactions]
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Transactions](
[id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[date] [datetime] NULL,
[accountno] [varchar](100) NULL,
[debit] [int] NULL,
[credit] [int] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Transactions] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[id] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE =
OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON,
ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
Has anyone encountered this problem before with insert
statements dealing with a unique id (with MS SQL Server)?

Problem with BigInteger and MySql

Hi !!
I've a problem with BigInteger and MySql.
I've a BigInteger object (suppose that value is 0.02270412445068359375).
I must store that value in a database (MySql).
The value of BigInteger object must be stored in a column of type Decimal.
Stored value is 0.022704124450683594. Why ??
My target is to store 0.02270412445068359375
Can anyone help me?

The value of BigInteger object must be stored in a

Problem with sound in Amarok

Hi guys, I'm having problem with Amarok 2. When I start it the notification says "The audio playback device HDA Intel (CONEXANT Analog) does not work. Falling back to HDA NVidia, HDMI 0 (HDMI Audio Output) ". Amarok starts normally but can't open any song. The same thing happens when I try to open a video with Dragon player(but I don't use so this doesn't matter).
VLC, MPlayer and Youtube have no problem playing videos or sounds, so I could play music with VLC but you'd agree it's not really a music player.
(I tried installing Clementine, but it has it's own problems, saying "Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in." (but I don't like Clementine anyway))
Another thing that bothers me is that the hardware sound buttons don't affect these programs.
Could someone help me with this?

there are these errors (several times):
amarok: [CollectionDB] [ERROR!] [virtual QStringList SqliteConnection::query(const QString&)] sqlite3_compile error:

and also load one:

There are also some errors of GUI (QT, KDE), but these are I think a little bit off-topic.

Problem with JPA Implementations and SQL BIGINT in primary keys

I have a general Question about the mapping of the SQL datatype BIGINT. I discovered, that there are some different behaviour depending on the JPA implementation. I tested with TopLink Essentials (working) and with Hibernate (not working).
Here is the case:
Table definition:
/*==============================================================*/
/* Table: CmdQueueIn */
/*==============================================================*/
create table MTRACKER.CmdQueueIn
CmdQueueInId bigint not null global autoincrement,
Type int,
Cmd varchar(2048),
CmdState int,
MLUser bigint not null,
ExecutionTime timestamp,
FinishTime timestamp,
ExecutionServer varchar(64),
ScheduleString varchar(64),
RetryCount int,
ResultMessage varchar(256),
RecordState int not null default 1,
CDate timestamp not null default current timestamp,
MDate timestamp not null default current timestamp,
constraint PK_CMDQUEUEIN primary key (CmdQueueInId)
The java class for this table has the following annotation for the primary key field:
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
@Column(name = "CmdQueueInId", nullable = false)
private BigInteger cmdQueueInId;
When using hibernate 3.2.1 as JPA provider I get the following exception:
avax.persistence.PersistenceException: org.hibernate.id.IdentifierGenerationException: this id generator generates long, integer, short or string

This means, that their ID generator does not support java.math.BigInteger as datatype.
But the code works if I take TopLink essentials as JPA Provider.
Looking at the spec shows the following:
In chapter 2.1.4 "If generated primary keys are used, only integral types will be portable." Integral datatypes are byte, short, int, long and char. This would mean, that the Hibernate implementation fits the spec but there seem to be a problem in general with BIGINT datatypes.
I use a SYBASE database. There it is possible to declare a UNSIGNED BIGINT. The range of numbers is therefore 0 - 2^64 - 1. Since in Java a long is always signed it would mean its range is from -2^63 -1 to 2^63 -1. So a mapping of BIGINT to java.lang.long could result in an overflow.
The interesting thing is, that I used NetBeans to reverse engineer an existing database schema. It generated for all Primary Keys of Type BIGINT automatically a java.math.BigInteger. But for other fields (not being keys) it mapped BIGINTs to java.lang.long.
It looks like there are some problems with either the spec itself or the implementation of it. While TopLink seems to handle the problem correctly, Hibernate doesn't. But Hibernate seems to fulfill the spec.
Is anybody familiar with the Spec reading this and can elaborate a little about this situation?
Many thanks for your input and feedback.

Not sure if I clearly understand your issue, would be good if you can explain it a bit more clearly.
"I select a value from LOV and this value don't refresh in the view"
If you mean ViewObject, check if autoSubmit property is set to true.

Another problem with updating in ms access

Hello there,
Me too has a problem with the update statement and ms access (using 2003).
I've read many other problems, but a way to the solution that worked for I didn't found :S
The strange thing with my problem is that i'm able to update integer fields in the database, but not varchar/text fields.
I'm not getting any exception back, the database is closed (i'm very sure), so HELP! :)
I'll show you the code i'm connecting with the database:
public void openDatabaseConnection() {
        // Eerst controleren of de DatabaseDriver wel aanwezig is.
        try {
            Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Looking for Class: " + e.toString());
        // Nu kan de connectie met de database opgezet worden.
        try {
            theDatabaseConnection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Shawa","","ShaBaMa");
        catch (SQLException ex) {
            System.out.println("openDatabaseConnection: SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
            System.out.println("openDatabaseConnection: SQLState: " + ex.getSQLState());
            System.out.println("openDatabaseConnection: VendorError: " + ex.getErrorCode());
    }The code for updating an integer field (wich is working!) is like this:
    public Customer cashCustomer(Customer aCustomer){
        PreparedStatement pstmt;
        ResultSet result;
        try{
            openDatabaseConnection();
            pstmt = theDatabaseConnection.prepareStatement("UPDATE customer SET aantal_bier = aantal_bier + ?, aantal_fris = aantal_fris + ? WHERE id=?");
            pstmt.setInt(1, aCustomer.getCashBeer());
            pstmt.setInt(2, aCustomer.getCashSoda());
            pstmt.setInt(3, aCustomer.getId());
            theDatabaseConnection.setAutoCommit(false);
            pstmt.executeUpdate();
            theDatabaseConnection.commit();
            pstmt.close();
            theDatabaseConnection.close();
        catch (SQLException eSql){
            System.out.println("Cash Customer: " + eSql.toString());
            System.out.println("Cash Customer: SQLException: " + eSql.getMessage());
            System.out.println("Cash Customer: SQLState: " + eSql.getSQLState());
            System.out.println("Cash Customer: VendorError: " + eSql.getErrorCode());
        return aCustomer;
    }Now the code for updating Varchar/text fields (wich is not working):
    public Customer editCustomer(Customer aCustomer){
        PreparedStatement pstmt;
        ResultSet result;
        try{
            openDatabaseConnection();
            pstmt = theDatabaseConnection.prepareStatement("UPDATE customer SET name=? , lastname=?, onderdeel=?, aantal_bier=?, aantal_fris=?, op_kaart=? WHERE id=?");
            pstmt.setString(1, aCustomer.getName());
            pstmt.setString(2, aCustomer.getLastname());
            pstmt.setString(3, aCustomer.getSection());
            pstmt.setInt(4, aCustomer.getBeer());
            pstmt.setInt(5, aCustomer.getSoda());
            pstmt.setInt(6, aCustomer.getId());
            pstmt.setString(7, aCustomer.getAddCash());
            theDatabaseConnection.setAutoCommit(false);
            pstmt.executeUpdate();
            theDatabaseConnection.commit();
            pstmt.close();
            theDatabaseConnection.close();
        catch (SQLException eSql){
            System.out.println("Updating Customer: " + eSql.toString());
            System.out.println("Updating Customer: SQLException: " + eSql.getMessage());
            System.out.println("Updating Customer: SQLState: " + eSql.getSQLState());
            System.out.println("Updating Customer: VendorError: " + eSql.getErrorCode());
        return aCustomer;
    }I can add and delete from the database. The thing with the ' ' didn't work for me too.
Anybody a solution for me??? plz plz plz!

You are updating zero records. Because you are filling in the parameter ofWHERE id=?with this code:pstmt.setString(7, aCustomer.getAddCash());The executeUpdate() method returns the number of records affected, if you wish to check that.

I have one problem with Data Guard. My archive log files are not applied.

I have one problem with Data Guard. My archive log files are not applied. However I have received all archive log files to my physical Standby db
I have created a Physical Standby database on Oracle 10gR2 (Windows XP professional). Primary database is on another computer.
In Enterprise Manager on Primary database it looks ok. I get the following message Data Guard status Normal
But as I wrote above the archive log files are not applied
After I created the Physical Standby database, I have also done:
1. I connected to the Physical Standby database instance.
CONNECT SYS/SYS@luda AS SYSDBA
2. I started the Oracle instance at the Physical Standby database without mounting the database.
STARTUP NOMOUNT PFILE=C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\database\initluda.ora
3. I mounted the Physical Standby database:
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT STANDBY DATABASE
4. I started redo apply on Physical Standby database
alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session
5. I switched the log files on Physical Standby database
alter system switch logfile
6. I verified the redo data was received and archived on Physical Standby database

Please help me!!!!

Hi,
After several tries my redo logs are applied now. I think in my case it had to do with the tnsnames.ora. At this moment I have both database in both tnsnames.ora files using the SID and not the SERVICE_NAME.
Now I want to use DGMGRL. Adding a configuration and a stand-by database is working fine, but when I try to enable the configuration DGMGRL gives no feedback and it looks like it is hanging. The log, although says that it succeeded.
In another session 'show configuration' results in the following, confirming that the enable succeeded.
DGMGRL> show configuration
Configuration
Name: avhtest
Enabled: YES
Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED
Databases:
avhtest - Primary database
avhtestls53 - Physical standby database
Current status for "avhtest":
Warning: ORA-16610: command 'ENABLE CONFIGURATION' in progress
It there anybody that experienced the same problem and/or knows the solution to this?
With kind regards,
Martin Schaap

Problems with date in procedure on Oracle 11g

Hi gurus,
I have some problems with the date format on Oracle 11g.
Let me explain the situation:
When I am starting a request like
select to_number(to_char(to_date('01.04.2009','dd.mm.yyyy'), 'yyyy'))
from sys.dual
I got as result 2009 as number.
When I do the same in a procedure of a package like this
my_year := to_number(to_char(to_date('01.04.2009','dd.mm.yyyy'), 'yyyy'));
the variable my_year contains the value 9 instead of 2009.
Can someone explain me what's going wrong?
I have just tested with changing the environment variable nls_date_format for the session and for the complete database with no success.
Regards,
Björn

Thank you all for your replies so far:
@Alex: You are right, using your short script in sqlplus gives me also 2009 as result
So, I am now posting the essential excerpts of the procedure because the whole one is to large:
function insert_szrl (my_fremd_name varchar, my_elementadresse varchar,
my_zeitstempel varchar, my_wert float,
my_status varchar, my_zyklus varchar,
my_offset integer,
my_quelle varchar, my_nzm_daten integer) return integer is
begin
my_date := to_date (substr (my_zeitstempel, 1, 10), 'dd.mm.yyyy') + my_tageswechsel +1/24;
if my_zyklus = 'mm' then
my_zeitstempeldate := add_months(to_date(last_day(to_date(my_date, 'dd.mm.yyyy')), 'dd.mm.yyyy'),-1) +1 + (my_tageswechsel+1/24);
my_days := to_date(last_day(to_date(my_date, 'dd.mm.yyyy')), 'dd.mm.yyyy') - add_months(to_date(last_day(to_date(my_date, 'dd.mm.yyyy')), 'dd.mm.yyyy'),-1);
my_year := to_number(to_char(to_date(my_date,'dd.mm.yyyy'), 'yyyy'));
ptime.umschalttage_tuned (my_year, my_ws, my_sw);
end if;
While debugging the complete procedure I see since the start only a date which looks like '01.04.2009 07:00:00'

PCC-S-02201, Encountered the symbol "__builtin_va_list" when expecting one of th
e following:
auto, char, const, double, enum, float, int, long,
ulong_varchar, OCIBFileLocator OCIBlobLocator,
OCIClobLocator, OCIDateTime, OCIExtProcContext, OCIInterval,
OCIRowid, OCIDate, OCINumber, OCIRaw, OCIString, register,
short, signed, sql_context, sql_cursor, static, struct,
union, unsigned, utext, uvarchar, varchar, void, volatile,
a typedef name,
The symbol "enum," was substituted for "__builtin_va_list" to continue.

Sorry! I have not explain it clearly.
To solve it , you do following :
1. locate stdarg.h ( or find /usr -name stdarg.h ), assume you find a stdarg.h in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/XXX/XXX/include/stdarg.h
2.ln -s /usr/lib/gcc-lib/XXX/XXX/include/stdarg.h /usr/include/stdarg.h or cp /usr/lib/gcc-lib/XXX/XXX/include/stdarg.h /usr/include
( above 2 step was to make Pro*C can find stdarg.h in /usr/include )
3. for file stddef.h do like step 1,2
4. append a line in your Pro*C config file:
CODE=ANSI_C
null
