Alternate without using regexp_replace function

SELECT
REGEXP_REPLACE(phone_number,
                 '([[:digit:]]{3})\.([[:digit:]]{3})\.([[:digit:]]{4})',
                 '(\1) \2-\3') "REGEXP_REPLACE"
                 FROM employees;
is there any alternate without using regexp_replace function.........

Another way
(eliminating instr function.. as your problem focusses on a fixed length)
WITH t AS (SELECT '112.345.6789' str FROM DUAL),
     tt AS (SELECT REPLACE (str, '.') str FROM t)
SELECT    '('
       || SUBSTR (str, 1, 3)
       || ') '
       || SUBSTR (str, 4, 3)
       || '-'
       || SUBSTR (str, 7)
FROM tt;

Max value without using max() function

Hi
Is there any way to get the max value from a table without using MAX() function
Thanks

well if you think about it i'm sure you'll find a solution
what does max(field) means, it simply is the value of the field where no other value of the same field that is > than this value exists.
consider the following :
table TAB(
fld NUMBER(5));
translate the logic and you'll have
select a.fld from TAB a where NOT EXISTS(select b.fld from TAB b where b.fld>a.fld) and rownum=1;
of course there are better ways i'm sure, you'll just have to figure'em out.

Need to take rownum highest value without using grouping functions

Hi
I want to display highest value in the rownum column and customer details without using grouping functions like max or count
this below query gives me all rownum values and customer details
SELECT ROWNUM ROWNUM_1, CUSTOMER_NO, CUSTOMER_NAME, CUSTOMER_DOJ, CUSTOMER_MOBILENO FROM CUSTOMER;
can any one help me.

The above query won't work as it's missing "from" cluase in the inner select statement.
And even if corrected it willl print rownum values thrice: value "1",max_rownum, max_rownum followed by customer details.
Below is the simple query to retrieve max row_num along with the corresponding customer details.
select * from (SELECT ROWNUM ROWNUM_1, CUSTOMER_NO, CUSTOMER_NAME, CUSTOMER_DOJ, CUSTOMER_MOBILENO FROM CUSTOMER order by rownum_1 desc) where rownum<=1 ;

Count the no.of rows without using count function

Hi,
How to count the no.of rows without using the count function?
Thanks,

they won't be 100% accurate. You're correct, Bluefrog, but the same goes for doing a count(*) (depending on the size of the table, ofcourse):
the table being queried might be under DML (deletes/inserts), and the next count(*) might give different results.
Both approaches will never be 100% accurate.
But simply selecting num_rows will be much much faster than doing a count(*).
Counting the number of rows always reminds me of this ongoing discussion, by the way:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:127412348064#14136093079164 ;)
Usually knowing the number of records by approximatly is sufficient, imo. 1000000 or 1000007 records: I don't care, don't need to know that.
I've never needed to know the exact number of records in a table in my code, or been given a requirement that forced me to.

Can I rewrite the following query without using Row_number() function ??!!

Hello every one, can I rewrite the following query without using the 'ROW_NUMBER() OVER ' part.
The query is supposed to pull out the records whose CODE is not NULL and has most
recent date for UPDATE_DATE . The reason I wanted to do this is, When I embed this query
in between many other queries along with JOINs, My oracle server is unable to execute. So, I thought
its better to supplant 'ROW_NUMBER() OVER ' logic with something else and try it. .
SELECT a.* FROM
(SELECT b.*, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY b.PIDM
ORDER BY b.UPDATE_DATE DESC) AS Rno
FROM
SELECT *
FROM SHYNCRO WHERE CODE IS NOT NULL
)b
)a
WHERE a.Rno = 1

Hi,
You didn't write over 150 lines of code and then start testing it, did you?
Don't.
Take baby steps. Write as little as pssiblem test that. Debug and test again until you have something that does exactly what you want it to do.
When you have somehting that works perfectly, take one baby step. Add a tiny amount of code, maybe 1 or 2 lines more, and test again.
When you do get an error, or wrong results, you'll have a much better idea of where the problem is. also, you won't be building code on a flimsy foundation.
If you need help, post the last working version and the new version with the error. Explain what you're trying to do in the new version.
The error message indicates line 133. It looks like line 133 of your code is blank. Does your front end allow completely blank lines in the middle of a query? SQL*Plus doesn't by default; you have to say
SET SQLBLANKLINES ONto have a completely blank line in SQL*Plus. (However, lines containing nothing but at commnet are always allowed.)
You may have noticed that this site normally doesn't display multiple spaces in a row.
Whenever you post formatted text (such as indented code) on this site, type these 6 characters:
\(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section of formatted text, to preserve spacing.
The 4 people who posted small code fragments for you to read all did this. It would be so much easier for people to read your humongeous query if it were formatted.

Using ip-helper without using DHCP functionality

Hello,
I am fairly new to Cisco, and am after a bit of help.
My scenario:
We have a new domain setup on a new VLAN (3), seperate from our current infrastructure VLAN (2).
The new domain controllers provide DHCP for our new servers, and I would also like them to handle DHCP for wireless clients.
We have one DHCP scope 10.0.0.0 255.255.0.0, and I would like to assign all wireless clients an IP in the 10.0.6.0 range.
My thinking on the best way to do this, is with a DHCP policy, that looks at the relay agent information.
I would then set the ip-helper address, on the port the wireless access point is connected to on the Cisco, to point to the DHCP server.
Then for that same port, I would seb a subscriber id in the relay agent information, and use this string to set the IP assigned to that device.
Looking into doing this, it seems the Ciscos DHCP functionality has to be turned on in order to use ip-helper.
In my config, I cannot tell if DHCP is enabled or not, I can see neither "service dhcp", nor "no service dhcp" in the config.
Assuming I were to turn it on using "service dhcp", can I then leave the actual functionality turned off? i.e. turn on the DHCP service, but not have it assign IP addresses?
Also, does turning it on cause any downtime or disruption?
I think I have to run these commands:
conf t
service dhcp
interface GigabitEthernet2/40
Ip helper-address 10.0.0.1
Ip dhcp relay information option-insert
Ip dhcp relay information option subscriber-id “wireless”
I know these are probably simple questions, so please forgive my ignorance.
James

Ok here goes.
On my domain controller/DHCP server, I have a scope setup of 10.0.0.0 255.255.0.0, and is set with an IP range of 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.6.253
I have various reservations in place, and a working policy to assign thin clients an IP of 10.0.2.X based on their MAC address.
I have then created a second policy, that should be assigning IPs in the 10.0.6.0 range, based on relay agent information, subscriber ID. This is a HEX value, so whatever string I enter on the Cisco, has to be converted to HEX.
This DHCP server is on the same VLAN 3. The VLAN interface on the Cisco has IP of 10.0.0.254 255.255.0.0
The wireless clients are getting IP addresses, but not within the range specified by the policy, so they are getting any address between 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.6.253 that is not already in use.
Image 1 shows the vlan interface, where I have set the helper address, relay information option-insert, and subscriber id of "wireless".
Image 2 shows the config on the port that my access point is connected to.
Image 3 shows the value of the policy on the DHCP server, based on subscriber ID
Image 4 shows the string "wireless" converted to HEX
Image 5 shows the IP range that the policy should be using
Image 6 shows "Edss-iPhone" as have an IP not within the correct range
Hopefully that helps.

How to check for locks on a material - without using Enqueue function

Hi
We have a requirement in which - we need to check the lock ( exclusive ) on a material before we call the BAPI to update the material.
I don't want to actually lock the material before calling the BAPI - the BAPI itself acquires the lock as a part of its processing. All I want to do is to check whether lock on a material exists before calling the BAPI - thus avoiding any lock related issues on the material in the BAPI call.
How do we just merely check whether material is locked - any standard function module /SAP tables where in material lock is stored that we use/interrogate ?
Correct answers will be promptly rewarded.

Hi ,
There is standard function enqueue_read ,based on material number .
Pass the material number to FM ENQUEUE_READ if sy-subrc = 0 then material is locked otherwise not .
Please reward if useful.

How do I import Firefox user settings from old computer to new computer without using sync function?

the motherboard on my old Mac G4 powerbook died but i have access to its hard drive contents, including the files located in Application Support>Firefox. I want to import these profile settings into my new Firefox on my new iMac 2011. Which files do I move over so that my new Firefox has the settings/bookmarks/add-ons as my old Firefox?

Install FEBE from Add Ons in FF on old computer. Back up entire profile. Also install FEBE in FF on new computer. Copy FEBE backup folder to new computer. "Restore" from FEBE. All of your settings, including cookies, passwords, etc. will be "restored." Note that on the new computer, you'll need to create two profiles: the default one you'll use on a regular basis and one to use for the restore.

Manually config printer to print to printer from anywhere without using email function

I have a LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw color MFP. I want to config my lap top that has windows 7 to print through the internet directly to my printer. I had an HP printer before that allowed me to do that. On this printer I cannot find a IP address. I don't like the email attachment option. I need to be abale to print just one page instead of the entire document and so forth.
Thanks

Hello @jrjvcj,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you would like to setup this Laserjet CM1415fnw. I will do my best to assist you! If cannot find the IP address on your printer, then please follow this HP document on The Printer is Not Found During Network Installation.
If you were referring to ePrint in your post from your previous printer, then this printer doesn't support ePrint. I will provide the manual for your printer here.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!
I worked on behalf of HP.
