Any financial Functions in oracle?

I need some statistical and financial formulas such as NPV, IRR etc and many more such functions to handle financial applications. Does oracle provide such builtin functions as in excel?????
Plz help me .....

Hi, Suman
There are several statistical functions in Oracle (you can check the documentation), but not those you mention.
You can create your own functions using PL/SQL (and Java, I believe), or you can invoke Excel from Oracle Forms using OLE2 methods or DDE conversation. You can find examples in the Forms Demos CD.
Hope this helps,
Pedro

I would like start my career has Oracle financial functional consultant

Dear All,
I have 4+years of Investment Banking Operations experience worked on Treasurey operations, client services, Legals and Reporting side. Can any one suggest me can i shift my career to Oracle financials - Functional consultant. I do remember when I was working for reporting we used lot of Oracle applications.
Please let me know the stages to learn and should I search for Jr. role or can take up any senior role in Financial company as Oracle consultant.

Well for sure the Documentation is really good. In addition to it, I would suggest that you should take up OCP DBA course from OU.That course will help you to get basic( and a little more than that ) knowledge of oracle database and its various parts.That will make up your base from where you can move ahead readind docs, reading astktom.oracle.com.
Wish you the best.

Using financial functions like xirr,irr,npv

Hi Guys!,
I would like to make use of financial functions like xirr,irr,npv using oracle/forms/sql , is there any resource available in oracle product family, if no how can i use there functions using oracle products.
Thanks in advance
Uday

I'm unsure which Oracle product might include built-in financial functions -- perhaps one their Business Intelligence products? If your math and Java skills are up to the task, you might consider writing a JavaBean that contains your own implementations of the financial functions you require.

Financial Functions

Hello,
I am new to this forum. Is there any financila functions like npv(),IRR() in oracle 9i. I found in Oracle 10g. Please reply me if any functions are there in Oracle 9i

There is a slew of financial functions in 10G that did not exist in 9i.
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/olap.102/b14346/dml_appcats003.htm#i650937
NPV is the net present value - basically how much a set of future cash flows (minus initial investment) is worth today.
IRR is the Internal Rate of Return - Basically the discount rate used to make the NPV of cash flows = 0
In 9i it appears you would have to write your own function

Function in oracle to find number of occurances of a character in a string

hi,
is there any function in oracle to find the number of ocurrances of a character in a string ?
or is there any simple way of doing the same, rather than writting many lines of code as my program is already very complex.
Maria

Hi Maria,
I don't know of such a function in Oracle, but maybe you could use this:
length(search_string) - length(replace(search_string, character_to_be_found))
For example: select length('Hello') - length ( replace('Hello', 'l')) from dual;
Hope this is what you're looking for

T-SQL functions in ORACLE

Use T-SQL functions in ORACLE too, so you can write one script version that works in SYBASE, SQLSERVER and ORACLE when need to use the following functions:
ceiling, charindex, dateadd, datediff, datename, datepart, day, db_id, db_name, getdate, host_id, host_name, left, len, month, replicate, right, space, str, str_replace, stuff, substring, suser_id, suser_name, user_id, user_name and year.
The file [comp_tsql_ORA_schema.txt|http://forums.databasejournal.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=564&d=1258547015] creates the tablespace and schema to put the objects, and the file [comp_tsql_ORA.txt|http://forums.databasejournal.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=569&d=1259256898] creates the functions into the new schema. They will be avaliable for any schema of the oracle instance.
Hope this help!
Any suggestion please contact.

I'm no longer convinced that elegance is a desirable trait for a language. So call me a heretic.
Ever tried XLISP? :-)
It's different. Back then it was simply the language itself. And it was not really a religious kind of battle, but more a mine-is-bigger-and-better-than-yours one.
With Java, it is all about The Acrhitecture and the blessed language of Java. ;-)
I wouldn't so much blame J2EE believers for that. I think there is a fundamental complexity to web type paradigms that hasn't been described in a precise and encompassing enough manner to enable correct project planning.The basic problem is that the database is treated as a persistent storage layer only. A bit bucket. And that is exactly what a database is not.
But as it is used that, loads of database features now need to be duplicated in the application layer. Which is done. Very poorly.
Heck, I've even been told that J2EE's 3-tier architecture is not client server. Such ignorance is really unbelievable. Or is it pure stupidity?Until you just made me look it up, I would have thought that too, I'm sure I saw client/server defined as two-tier in the last century. But I have much more stupid misdefinitions to deal with on a daily basis, simply from the multiplicity of paradigms. I tend to retreat into my shell. Hehehe. Know that feeling... These days I rather run away, or set shields to full power, than try to get in yet another frustrating, fruitless and futile discussion with a Java head about the wonders of the J2EE architecture. Or trying to explain that this "new" architecture is predated with what we used in the 80's on mainframe systems with transaction monitors, block devices (the 80's web browsers) and databases - which software layer for software layer was almost identical to "+The Great Architecture+" of today. (and we did it without buzzwords too) ;-)
Client-server is a software architecture and in essence describes 3 basic software components. The User Interface (UI), the Application (APP) and the Database (DB). And there are various ways to put these components together in a client-server architecture. The mistake that the Java fanbois make is thinking that client-server means having the client as the UI and APP as a single component (so-called fat client) and then the DB component as the server.
There are numerous versions of these - including the APP component being a server component (as we now these days more commonly used in over the web).
My beef with the J2EE "+religion+" always has been that client-server is client-server. The fundamentals stay the same.

Import Functionality in Oracle ADF BC with Jdeveloper 11.1.1.2

Hi all,
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.2 and I am trying to import functionality in my application.
I am following the steps of: http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2008/07/import-functionality-in-oracle-adf-bc.html
I have 2 data model and I would like to import the functionality of one data model, in the other.
My problem is when I tried: myModel2-->right click-->project properties-->deployment-->edit
I don't see nothing to filter myModel2, I see only Library Dependencies, Connections, JAR Options ADF Validation.
If I tried : myModel2-->right click-->project properties-->deployment-->new-->filters
I see only the folders: Merged Contents of this file Group's contributor, .data, 00000000
But I can't see the folders I have (mypackage.test.model.entities).
Where I can found them? Is there a workaround?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Andrea

Ok, but I taught that after importing myModel2 in myModel1, Jdeveloper realise a merge and it visualizes a unique package, even if it is splitted on two or more projects/models.
So that, it seems to me this procedure is useful for importing jar file, but not for splitting a very big project in a lot of smaller projects, doesn't it?
Thanks for your opinion

Find Menus & Function In oracle apps

Hello Experts,
I am searching for the menus and function in oracle apps to enable/disabled the functionality for a specific responsibility.
Is there any way through which we can find a function or menus in a effective way.
Thanks,

I am searching for the menus and function in oracle apps to enable/disabled the functionality for a specific responsibility.
Is there any way through which we can find a function or menus in a effective way.What do you mean? You can get the menu attached to the responsibility from query it from System Administrator responsibility and find all the functions/submenus which are attached to it.

Converting the iif function in MS Access97 to an user defined function in Oracle

Hi ,
I have a problem here we are working with Visual Basic 6.0(ADOs 2.5) with Oracle 8i release 2. we have some queries stored in the tables which contains the iif function of MS Access 97 do we have a similar built in function in Oracle which replaces this iif function of Ms Access 97.
we cannot use decode (built in function) of oracle b'cos it cannot be used in a where clause and we cannot write a user defined function also because it cannot be generalized for use b'cos sometimes we use
field names and sometimes values as expression in the iif functions
If anybody could suggest me some idea
please mail me at [email protected]
with best regards

Hi,
You still can use the seccond approach - with a udf IIF() that you place in a package and OVERLOAD it. See the documentation for limitations of Overloading
Overloading permits you to declare several functions with the same name but havind different behaviours depending on the number and type of the parameters.

Using a C function in Oracle

Hi,
I have a field in my table that stores an ID which is encoded using a C function. (third party database)
I have also been provided the C function that decodes that field to display the actual value. I have compiled this code using Visual Studio .Net 2003 to a dll file, but do not know how to use it in Oracle. Or are there other ways to use this decode function in Oracle?
I am on 9i database, Windows 2003 server.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.

Encode function in Oracle

Hi,
In MySQL while inserting data encode function can be used along with a user key to encode the data. Also decode function can be used to decode the data during selection. Is there any equivalent function available in Oracle for encoding and decoding.
Please advice,
Thanks,
Smitha

Only for your information. DECODE is not a function to encript or decrypt data. Decode is a comparation function. It is a other way to evaluate IF-THEN-ELSE condition.

TO_CHAR FUNCTION IN ORACLE FORM

HI,
Table called A has column name col1
col1
12563.563
52685.563
05263.540
I would like to use SUBSTR(col1,2,6) for insert values from A table to B table by Oracle form and following values are inserted in B table
2563.5
2685.5
263.4
If I use SQLPLUS it is inserting as my requirement like
2563.5
2685.5
5263.4
Third row should be 5263.5 instead of 263.4. In Oracle form may have internal coversion function to convert character value to number values, I do not want to convert the value to number. Both table columns are varchar2 column.
What is the equal to_char function in Oracle form. If it is NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS, please what are the parameters to be passed along with column.
Thanks in advance
Saravanan.

Hello,
If you don't want to take account any calculation on the decimal part, you could consider the Trunc() function instead of the To_Char():
Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
SQL> select to_char(52685.563,'00000000.0'), trunc(52685.563,1) from dual
2 /
TO_CHAR(526 TRUNC(52685.563,1)

DB2 DIGIT FUNCTION IN ORACLE

What is the DB2 DIGIT FUNCTION equivalent in ORACLE database. We have done a migration from db2 to oracle and many programs just fails where I encounters digit function. Is there any workaroud or function present in oracle database which makes the program working.
Just share your knowledge .
[email protected]

Addendum ...
OK I found what the DIGIT function does.
I am not sure if there is a function in Oracle that maps directly to DIGIT function in DB2
but you can do something like this:
select lpad(replace(to_char(abs(n)),'.'),
(select to_number(data_precision) from user_tab_columns where table_name = 'A' and column_name = 'N'),'0')
from a
In the SQL above n is the column in table A. Data_precision column gets the size of the column.
Option 2:
You could write your own function in Oracle to do what the SQL above does
create or replace function digit (col_val in number, col_name IN varchar2, tab_name IN varchar2) return varchar2
as
v_val varchar2(100);
v_prec number;
begin
select to_number(data_precision) into v_prec from user_tab_columns where table_name = upper(tab_name) and column_name = upper(col_name);
v_val := lpad(replace(to_char(abs(col_val)),'.'),v_prec,'0');
return v_val;
end;
Then use the function as follows:
select digit(n,'N','A') from a
