Aother question about SQL?

Hi,
I have another question:
if I exec this SQL:
INSERT INTO xhealthcall_script_data
(XHC_CALL_ENDED, XHC_SWITCH_PORT, XHC_SCRIPT_ID, XHC_FAX_SPECIFIED)
(SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS'), HH_SWITCHPORT,
HH_SCRIPT,'N'
FROM tmp_healthhit_load WHERE HH_SCRIPT !='BROCHURE' UNION
SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS'), HH_SWITCHPORT,
HH_SCRIPT,'N'FROM tmp_healthhit_load WHERE HH_SCRIPT !='BROCHURE');
I always get an error like:
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
Also if I change,
if I add an "values" after insert clause/before Select, the error changed to
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-00936: missing expression
why this happened, who can tell me???
thank you so much in advance

Try the below query. You can modify the TRANSLATE function to add the characters you want to remove from the string.
select 'a'||replace(translate(str,'()* ','`'),'`') from testtable

Question about sql batch process in java app

hi all
i have few questions about using batch process in the java.sql package. the addBatch method can take sql statements like inserts or updates. can we use a mixture of insert and update then? can we use prepared statement for this? it's just for performance consideration. thanks in advance.

hi all
i have few questions about using batch process in the
java.sql package. the addBatch method can take sql
statements like inserts or updates. addBatch() is a method that has no parameters. It doesn't 'add' sql statements.
can we use a
mixture of insert and update then? can we use
prepared statement for this? it's just for
performance consideration. thanks in advance.The point of batching is that you take something that is invariant and then 'add' a variant part.
Thus a single insert has an invariant part (the table and specific columns) and a variant part (the data for each row by column.)
You can use anything that is valid SQL (for jdbc, driver, database) and use it presuming your database allows that particular usage in batching. But that does require some regular pattern - it won't work if your usage is random. Nor will it work if some statements need to be executed only some of the time. Finally also note that transaction processing will often require smaller chunks - you can't insert a million rows in one batch.

Question about sql statement

Hi expert,
I have following sql statement, function 'hiroc_get_delta_amount1' and 'hiroc_get_delta_amount2' are separately used in select and where subclause. these two function are exactly same, except that there is a inserting log statement inside. for function 'hiroc_get_delta_amount1' , logs are supposed to write into log table1, whereas for function 'hiroc_get_delta_amount2' , logs are supposed to write into log table2. after running this sql, I got data loaded into log table2, however, there is no data loaded into log table1.
could you please tell me why there is no data in log table2 for function
1. sql statement;
select
pp.policy_premium_pk,
pp.policy_fk,
pp.policy_term_fk,
pp.risk_fk,
pp.coverage_fk,
pp.transaction_log_fk,
pp.coverage_component_code,
hiroc_rpt_user.hiroc_get_delta_amount1(pp.policy_fk, pp.policy_term_fk, pp.risk_fk, pp.coverage_fk, pp.transaction_log_fk, pp.coverage_component_code),
pp.rate_period_from_date
from PRODBKUPDW_MART.rmv_policy_premium pp
where pp.rate_period_type_code = 'TERM_COVG'
and pp.coverage_component_code 'NETPREM'
and hiroc_rpt_user.hiroc_get_delta_amount2(pp.policy_fk, pp.policy_term_fk, pp.risk_fk, pp.coverage_fk, pp.transaction_log_fk, pp.coverage_component_code) != 0
group by pp.policy_premium_pk,
pp.policy_premium_pk,
pp.policy_fk,
pp.policy_term_fk,
pp.risk_fk,
pp.coverage_fk,
pp.transaction_log_fk,
pp.coverage_component_code,
pp.rate_period_from_date;
2. log inserting statement used for both functions:
(1) function 'hiroc_get_delta_amount1'
insert into HIROC_RPT_USER.LOG_TEST1 values (v_start, sysdate,
p_policy_fk,p_policy_term_history_fk,p_risk_fk,p_coverage_fk,p_transaction_log_fk,p_comp_code);
COMMIT;
(2) function 'HIROC_GET_DELTA_AMOUNT_1'
insert into HIROC_RPT_USER.LOG_ZB_TEST_1 values (v_start, sysdate,
p_policy_fk,p_policy_term_history_fk,p_risk_fk,p_coverage_fk,p_transaction_log_fk,p_comp_code);
COMMIT;

Are your functions using autonomous transactions?
We also need more information about the log tables etc. as we cannot tell what the problem would be from just that query, and no data.

SBS 2003 migration to SBS 2011 - Question about SQL Server Management Studio

I am preparing to do a migration from SBS2003 to SBS2011. In the migration instructions it tells me to install SQL Server Management Studio Express Service
Pack 2. I have SQL Server Management Studio (NOT EXPRESS) installed and it is on SP2.
Do I need to also install the express version to do the migration?
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Hi,
Thanks for your posting.
I think you don't need to install the express version.

Question about .sql.date ^o^..really pissed me off

The following code dosent work~~:(
String d = "2003-02-14";
Date myDate = java.sql.Date.valueOf(d);
sql="UPDATE Plan SET MyValue = '"+v+"' WHERE TraineeID = "+id+
" AND TheDate = "+myDate;
try {
stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
} catch(SQLException ex) {
System.err.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
I know the reason is the sql statement. Actually I dont know how to compare a Date object in WHERE statement...I think _* "AND TheDate = "+myDate; *_ is not correct, But dont know how to solve it... urgent~:( assignment due on next friday

Actually I dont know how to compare a Date object in WHERE statement.If you insist on doing string comparisons to compare two dates, then you will have to find out how your database wants the date formatted. This varies by database, so check your database help. Then use SimpleDateFormat to get the date in that format.
My preference is to use a PreparedStatement, because it knows how the database formats dates:PreparedStatement ps =
conn.prepareStatement(
"UPDATE Plan SET MyValue = ? WHERE TraineeID = ? AND TheDate = ?");
ps.setString(1, v);
ps.setString(2, id);
ps.setDate(3, new java.sql.Date(yourDateObject.getTime()));
ps.executeUpdate();

Question about SQL syntax

Hi,
I am trying to create a very simple SQL Expression, but can't seem to get the syntax to be valid. The database connection is to a SQL Server database. If I were to create the query in SQL Server Management Studio, it would be something like
select LastName from People
However, every variant I can think of, based on various examples in books and on-line postings, fails syntax check. These include, among many others:
select "People"."LastName"
from "People"
select "People"."LastName"
from "PiapDB_ss5"."dbo"."People"
I have also tried single quotes instead of double quotes. I keep getting the same error:
Database Connector Error: '42000:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Invalid syntax near the keyword 'select'. [Database vendor code: 156].
Any suggestions as to the proper syntax?
Thanks.
Dan

an sql expression field is meant to return one value, not records. therefore using a "select * from ..." statement won't work. if you know the select statement will return one value only (e.g. select name from table where id=123), you can surround the statement with parenthesis, that should work.

Simple Question about SQL

Hi Gurus,
How does the order of the tables effect the SQL performance?
e.g.
SELECT a.col1, b.col1, b.col2, c.col1
FROM table1 a, table2 b, table3 c
WHERE a.colx = b.colx and b.colx = c.colx
vs
SELECT a.col1, b.col1, b.col2, c.col1
FROM table2 a, table1 b, table3 c
WHERE b.colx = c.colx and a.colx = b.colx
I guess you get the idea :-) Does the performance matter when we change the order the tables appear in FROM or WHERE?
Keep ORACLE 10g and above in mind :-)
Regards,
Faisal.

and for some reason I could never understand, it perversely reads the FROM
clause backwards for its default, all-else-being-equal join orderA lot of parsers use recursive techniques, so the parser probably read down the list of tables in the FROM clause and then started processing the joins on the way back up. You still see something similar in present parsing of SQL, if there are any issues in the query, it will error on the ones at the end of the query first
e.g.
SQL> select * from dual
2 where fred = 2
3 and jim = 1;
and jim = 1
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-00904: "JIM": invalid identifier
SQL>the non-existent column "jim" is detected first and then if that were fixed it would error on the non-existent column "fred" above it.

A question about the impact of SQL*PLUS SERVEROUTPUT option on v$sql

Hello everybody,
SQL> SELECT * FROM v$version;
BANNER

PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE    11.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
SQL>
OS : Fedora Core 17 (X86_64) Kernel 3.6.6-1.fc17.x86_64I would like to ask a question about the SQL*Plus SET SERVEROUTPUT ON/OFF option and its impact on queries on views such as v$sql and v$session. Here is the problem
Actually I define three variables in SQL*Plus in order to store sid, serial# and prev_sql_id columns from v$session in order to be able to use them later, several times in different other queries, while I'm still working in the current session.
So, here is how I proceed
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON; -- I often activate this option as the first line of almost all of my SQL-PL/SQL script files
SET SQLBLANKLINES ON;
VARIABLE mysid NUMBER
VARIABLE myserial# NUMBER;
VARIABLE saved_sql_id VARCHAR2(13);
-- So first I store sid and serial# for the current session
BEGIN
    SELECT sid, serial# INTO :mysid, :myserial#
    FROM v$session
    WHERE audsid = SYS_CONTEXT('UserEnv', 'SessionId');
END;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
-- Just check to see the result
SQL> SELECT :mysid, :myserial# FROM DUAL;
    :MYSID :MYSERIAL#
       129   1067
SQL> Now, let's say that I want to run the following query as the last SQL statement run within my current session
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary >= 2800 AND ROWNUM <= 10;According to Oracle® Database Reference 11g Release 2 (11.2) description for v$session
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25513/dynviews_3016.htm#REFRN30223]
the column prev_sql_id includes the sql_id of the last sql statement executed for the given sid and serial# which in the case of my example, it will be the above mentioned SELECT query on the employees table. As a result, right after the SELECT statement on the employees table I run the following
BEGIN
    SELECT prev_sql_id INTO :saved_sql_id
    FROM v$session
    WHERE sid = :mysid AND serial# = :myserial#;
END;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> SELECT :saved_sql_id FROM DUAL;
:SAVED_SQL_ID
9babjv8yq8ru3
SQL> Having the value of sql_id, I'm supposed to find all information about cursor(s) for my SELECT statement and also its sql_text value in v$sql. Yet here is what I get when I query v$sql upon the stored sql_id
SELECT child_number, sql_id, sql_text
FROM v$sql
WHERE sql_id = :saved_sql_id;
CHILD_NUMBER   SQL_ID          SQL_TEXT
0              9babjv8yq8ru3    BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINES(:LINES, :NUMLINES); END;Therefore instead of
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary >= 2800 AND ROWNUM <= 10;for the value of sql_text I get the following value
BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINES(:LINES, :NUMLINES);Which is not of course what I was expecting to find in v$sql for the given sql_id.
After a bit googling I found the following thread on the OTN forum where it had been suggested (well I think maybe not exactly for the same problem) to turn off SERVEROUTPUT.
Problem with dbms_xplan.display_cursor
This was precisely what I did
SET SERVEROUTPUT OFFafter that I repeated the whole procedure and this time everything worked pretty well as expected. I checked SQL*Plus documentation for SERVEROUTPUT
and also v$session page, yet I didn't find anything indicating that SERVEROUTPUT should be switched off whenever views such as v$sql, v$session
are queired. I don't really understand the link in terms of impact that one can have on the other or better to say rather, why there is an impact
Could anyone kindly make some clarification?
thanks in advance,
Regards,
Dariyoosh

Hi Dariyoosh,
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON has the effect of executing dbms_output.get_lines after each and every statement. Not only related to system view.
Here below what Tom Kyte is explaining in this page:
Now, sqlplus sees this functionality and says "hey, would not it be nice for me to dump this buffer to screen for the user?". So, they added the SQLPlus command "set serveroutput on" which does two things
1) it tells SQLPLUS you would like it <b>to execute dbms_output.get_lines after each and every statement</b>. You would like it to do this network rounding after each call. You would like this extra overhead to take place (think of an install script with hundreds/thousands of statements to be executed -- perhaps, just perhaps you don't want this extra call after every call)
2) SQLPLUS automatically calls the dbms_output API "enable" to turn on the buffering that happens in the package.Regards.

PL/SQL web service: question about stub

hello,
I'm currently learning how to work with PL/SQL Web Services.
I have a question about stubs. The point is, I can deploy a web service to the OC4J server and it works. It also works when I create a stub following the WSDL I made with creating the PL/SQL web service. If I go to the endpoint in my webbrowser, the functionality is the same, with or without using a stub.
My question is: what is the function of the stub?

A stub is leveraged by a client application to communicate with a corresponding server side object (in this case, the web service implementation). If you think back to CORBA or RMI applications they follow a similar pattern.
In the case of a web service you would use the stub to write a client application that could invoke the methods of the remote service and return the responses as java data types. The methods the stub class offers are the same as the methods of the web service interface. It's a common way for providing RPC like functionality.

Sql developer: question about exporting data

Hi,
we're recently working with sql-developer. i've got a question about how we can export query results to txt/csv files for use in other applications.
First a problem: if we start a query that looks like this:
select * from
select * from A where start_date = &date
) a,
select * from B where start_date = &date
) b
where a.name = b.name
Sql-developer asks twice to input a value for the variable 'date', although it's the same variable and it's supposed to have the same value.
We solve this by making a script:
first we define the variable, then we put the query.
When we start the script, the query runs ok and sql developer asks to input the value for the variable once.
But now the result of the query is shown in the script output. The script output seems to be limited in number of lines and difficult to export.
So my question is: what's the best way to export query results to txt/csv files, avoiding the problem mentioned above?
i hope there is a solution where we can use a single query or script.
Thanks in advance!

Using bind variables like ":date" should solve the problem of being asked twice for the same thing.
Executing the query normally (F9), gives you the export options you require through the context menu inside the Results grid.
Regards,
K.

Question about PL/SQL Function in report

Hi all. I have a (basic) question about using a PL/SQL function in a report. In my report page I have an item (PL/SQL function) that has the following syntax:
return username from t1
where username like 'Le%'
I reference this item in an email process. Ideally this function would return all usernames that begin with 'Le' in the drafted email; however, its not looping so I'm only getting a return on the first name.
I have a few books on PL/SQL but I'm not exactly sure where to start - I imagine there is a loop process I need to integrate into the function but, like I said, I'm not sure.
I would have posted this to the PL/SQL forum but also wanted some feedback on whether or not using this method is the best way forward. Essentially I have a table with usernames and just want to send email messages based on some simple logic.
Thanks!
Len

Hi Sergio,
First, it's an honor to have you reply to my post. Thanks!
To be more specific,
T1 is a table containing the results from a user security scan. Username is a column in this table containing user names. What I have done is create a page in HTML DB with the following elements:
1. An 'Item' containing the PL/SQL function that is hidden. The purpose of this Item is to generate information from T1 that meets the simple logic parameters - in this case, the user names that begin with "Le". I have called this Item P145_TT
2. A 'Process' containing references to HTMLDB_MAIL. The 'Process' looks similar to this:
HTMLDB_MAIL.SEND(
P_TO => '[email protected]',
P_FROM => 'Anon Email Account',
P_BODY => 'Note: This message was automatically generated. Do not attempt to reply to this email.
These are the users that begin with Le: '||:P145_TT||' ',
P_SUBJ => 'Summary');
3. A 'Button' to submit the process and (hopefully) send the message containing all users that adhere to the logic in the function.
4. If I use 'return username from t1...' I will get a username generated, but like I said previously, it only gives me the first and does not loop.

Questions about 1Z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Expert

I am planning to take this exam and I have several questions:
1) I am using Steve O'Hearn's 'SQL Certified Expert Exam Guide' book and this states the following about SQL functions:
"Be sure to review the Oracle Database SQL Language Reference Manual and review the lengthy description of all of the SQL functions before taking the exam"
In trial tests it seemed that book's information was enough, but how about real exam? Is it necessary to study something in addition to this book information? You can answer regarding other exam objectives as well, if there is something that I should read from some other materials.
2) The book states that I can add not null constraint to column that has null values, if I specify default value. I tried and cannot, I get error. So the book states it wrongly or do I misunderstand something?
3) The book states that I cannot drop a NOT NULL constraint, but I can get the job done using: ALTER TABLE table_name MODIFY column_name NULL;
I tried and I can execute: alter table table_name drop constraint nameofnotnullconstraint;
4) To use external tables, is only read grant on the directory necessary or also write?
5) I understood from the book that to flashback table (e.g to before drop) I need to have row movement enabled on the table. But I tried and I can make this flashback operation to table that does not have row movement enabled. How can this be explained!
Big thanks in advance!

#1) well, the manual is free; find here the SQL Language Reference - http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.all_books#index-SQL
#2 & 3) If you proved it yourself, that settles it!
#4) Here's a good article about external tables: http://www.oracle-developer.net/display.php?id=512
I noted this paragraph in it, which might answer your question:
In addition to the standard read-write Oracle directory that we need for our external table, we also need an additional executable directory object for the preprocessor. This directory defines the location of the executables used by the preprocessor (we will be using gzip below). As far as Oracle is concerned, an executable directory is one that has EXECUTE privileges granted on it (this is an 11g feature specifically to support the preprocessor).
#5) don't know

Question about inserting Sysdate (SQL)

Hi all,
I got a question about records insert when one of the fields is sysdate.
I have to store several records representing a log, generated by the execution of a database package.
Inside my package I wrote an internal procedure devoted to insert a record in my log table for each processing step I wanted to trace (I call this proc each time I want to record a certain step of my package).
My log table structure is: PREC_LOGS(log_date DATE, log_message VARCHAR2(1000)), no constraints at all.
Database ver. 8.1.7.1.0 - Production for VMS O.S.
The 'problem' occurs when several records have the same sysdate (DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS). In this case, if I select log_date,log_message ... order by log_date, the list of records I get respects the sort condition, but when several records have the same sysdate (DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS), it doesn't respect the order of the steps theoretically inserted by the internal proc.

Hi
Add a field to the table that is that uses a sequence
PREC_LOGS(log_id NUMBER(30),log_date DATE, log_message VARCHAR2(1000))
Create a database sequence
The insert statement now becomes something like
INSERT INTO PREC_LOCS(log_id, log_date, log_message)
VALUES (sequence_name.NEXTVAL, SYSDATE, 'Some message');
Then order by the log_id when you do your select.

I have a Tecra M2 and rely on your email update to ensure I have the latest drivers on my machine.
When I received a Toshiba support email on 14 April 2005 giving reference to a QFE from Microsoft I assumed it would be necessary for my Tecra.
I was very confused when I found that this QFE and subsequent ones posted on the 16 April 2005 relate to Pre SP2 critical updates no9t required if one has already taken earlier advice of updating to Service Pack, at the very least your narrative should make mention of this. I find it very difficult to believe that your updates are two+ years out of date.
