Array data type in oracle like postgreSQL

Do we have any datatype to store array information in oracle like we have in postegreSQL database ? Because I am going to migrate my postgresql database to oracle. Can anyone of you help me on this please?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Thanks

There are several collection types available in Oracle such as associative array or index-by table, varray, and nested table. In addition nested table types may be stored in a database column.

Problem loading PostgreSQL Bytea data type to Oracle Raw data type

We are migrating our database from PostgreSQL to Oracle. First, we convert the BYTEA data type in PostgreSQL to Oracle RAW. The BYTEA data type is variable bytes array. How can we load the BYTEA data type to Oracle RAW data type? Or I have to convert to different data type. thanks.
Peter,

hi,
Instead of 'interval day to second' in method declaration use internal datatype 'DSINTERVAL_UNCONSTRAINED'.
There are more unconstrained types in oracle.

Array data type in SQL server

Hi there,
I have stored procedure which does have array data type. recently we have migrated oracle to SQL server
but this array datatype doesn't support in SQL server.
How can we rewrite this stored procedure to make it work exactly same as Oracle SP.
Can you please help on this.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[New1]
@i_ID dbo.t_IdArray READONLY ,
@i_ArraySize INT ,
@SWP_Ret_Value FLOAT = NULL OUTPUT
AS
Begin
UPDATE fmm.SITES
SET DISPLAY_ORDER = id.t_RowNum
FROM @i_ID id
JOIN dbo.SITE1 s
on s.SITE_ID = id.t_ID
end
Thanks for your help.

Hi Latheesh,
I have tried your bit except configure the SQLCommand and TVP parameter I don't where I need to do this bit.
Without that bit I have tried your code it was throwing an error like this
Operand type clash: int is incompatible with t_IdArray
Can you please have a look .
Thanks,
RK
can you show the definition for dbo.t_IdArray
what does it contain?

StringIndexOutOfBoundsException using ARRAY data type

Hi all.
JDK 1.5.0_03, Oracle 9.2.0.4, 9i thin drivers.
I'm trying to use the ARRAY data type to submit a large amount of data to a stored procedure. Unfortunatley I'm getting an error when using the oracleCAllableStatement.setArray method. I've successfully set up my types in the database, and I can create my StructDescriptor and ArrayDescriptor objects but that's as far as I get.
Here's my code:
connection = ConnectionManager.getRawConnection(DatabaseProperties.CSA_DB);
connection.setAutoCommit(false);
ARRAY array = getDatabaseArray(timeSeriesList, date, connection);
String result = new String();
statement = (OracleCallableStatement)connection.prepareCall("{call DATA_LOAD.ARCHIVE_TIMESERIES(?, ?)");
statement.setARRAY(1, array);
statement.registerOutParameter(2, OracleTypes.VARCHAR, result);
statement.execute();
LOG.info(result);
connection.commit();
The line highlighted is where it fails. The exception is below. Unfortunatley its a Java exception rather than a Oracle one so not much help there.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 40

I'm now completely stuck as short of decompiling the class that's throwing the exception I have no idea what's going on.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks, Rob

Hi,
Shouldn't:
statement = (OracleCallableStatement)connection.prepareCall("{call DATA_LOAD.ARCHIVE_TIMESERIES(?, ?)");be this:
statement = (OracleCallableStatement)connection.prepareCall("{call DATA_LOAD.ARCHIVE_TIMESERIES(?, ?)}");i.e. have a closing brace?

Pdf file stored as BLOB data type on Oracle

I store PDF file as BLOB data type on Oracle. There are cases
where I get multiple records from the database, that means I get
multiple PDF files. They have to be merged and displayed on the web
page. I tried CFContent which can display only one PDF file at a
time but not more than one, whereas cfdocument is having problem
converting binary data to string. I am kind of stuck.
Can you anybody please help me out? Please let me know if you
have any questions or this does not make sense to you.
Thank you in advance.

if by "merge" you mean 3 pdf into 1 pdf, try cfpdf (if on
cf8) or see this
thread if cf version less than 8:

Is there a auto-increment data type in Oracle

Hi,
I think you need unique ID's, for this purpose you use sequences
in Oracle. Example:
create table xy (
id number,
name varchar2(100)
alter table xy
add constraint xy_pk primary key(id);
create sequence xy_seq start with 1 maxvalue 99999999999;
(there are many other options for create sequence)
create or replace trigger xy_ins_trg
before insert on xy
for each row
begin
select xy_seq.nextval
into :new.id
from dual;
end;
This produces a unique value for the column id at each insert.
Hope this will help.

Cannot get the correct data type in Oracle JDBC

Dear ALL:
I used JDBC ResultSetMetaData to get the column data type for Oracle Database. I created a table including 2 columns AAA, which is NUMBER type, BBB which is FLOAT type.
However, I found a problem that either NUMBER or FLOAT data types are reported as NUMBER type in JDBC.
IN SQL 2000, it is okay. SMALLINT, INT, TINYINT, etc..can be reported correctly.
Can anybody tell me that what's wrong here? I will be very appreciated.

hi,
i guess its a bug which is fixed with 10i.

XML Data Type in oracle

I am a developer in .NET with having experience working on SQL server.
I want to know whether there is an xml data type in oracle.
I have an xml in my front end and want to insert record in the database for the values inside that xml. What i am doing currently is that i am retreiving the value in the xml in the .NET code and passing the values a parameter to a stored procedure in oracle. what i want to do is to pass the xml directly to stored procedure in oracle and retrieve the values there (using Xquery) and insert the records.
This is possible with SQL server 2005. I want to know is this possible with Oracle.
Thanks and regards,
Sameer J Narkar

Wonderful - a documentation question!
You will find your answer by going to the general documentation portal at http://tahiti.oracle.com following the path to the database version of interest, and looking in the SQL Reference manual. Chapter 2 discusses all data types, including the several supported for XML.
In addition, under the 'Books' tab, there are several XML-developer specific reference manuals.
(Oracle's support for XML generally blows away the others. The price for the extreme flexibility is an ease-of-use hit.)

BOOLEAN data type in oracle is it there?

is there any data type in oracle which stores BOOLEAN data?

>
There are inevitably problems with three-valued logic. To be consistent with the 3VL world of SQL one would expect a 3 value logical type (not strictly a "boolean" type at all). The standard chose not to do that and opted for just TRUE and FALSE with NULL as a sort of substitute for the third value. That in itself creates some logical conundrums but it's probably impossible to come up with any system that makes sense of SQL's 3VL. Probably that's why most DBMS vendors leave it out.
>
No problem. Just define it as NOT NULL and you will have traditional 2VL Boolean algebra.

....Date Type in Oracle

Hi All,
Just to clear a few misconception/ambiguities regarding the DATE data type in Oracle.
We hve a table which stores the date of insertion of a record. The front end application is in PHP while backend is in oracle.
When i query the table, it shows the date as dd-mon-yy , but it does not show the time. I have tried to query it throgh sqlPLus , TOAD and the PHP Application, but it doesnt show the time.
Is it not storing the time. The data type of the column is ( Insertdate date).
If you query sysdate, it definitly stores time, ... but what is in this case. Is it just storing the date and not the time. ???
How to alter so that it stores time as well.
Regards

U have to use the conversion function to_date to
store date along with time. No, you use to_date to convert a string to a date. That's it. A date column will ALWAYS store the time (it just won't always display it)
When u need to retrieve the data use to_char function. Not necessarily:
SQL> create table x (dte date);
Table created.
SQL> insert into x values(sysdate);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into x values(sysdate+1);
1 row created.
SQL> select * from x;
DTE
11-jul-2007 09:13:11
12-jul-2007 09:13:11
if u want to store time u can use timestamp data typeNope, You use timestamp if you want to store fractions of seconds (down to nano seconds)
The key point is. The date datatype ALWAYS stores:
Century, Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Second

How to migrate SQL Server image data type to Oracle 8 BLOB data type?

Hi,
I have to migrate data from sql server to Oracle 10 g.
I am unable to migrate image data type from sql server to blob data type in oracle.
Iam using Oracle Heterogenous Services to migrate the data,Using Merge statement and database link.
I am getting the following error-
ERROR at line 7:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected BLOB got LONG BINARY
Can any one suggest me how to migrate Image datatype to BLOB???

How to migrate 'table' data type into oracle solution?

Say, I have following sample code in Sql Server:
Declare @v1 table(old_value int, new_value int)
insert into @v1 select old_value, new_value from aTable where....
declare cur cursor for
select new_value from @v1 where old_value=...
what should I use in oracle to convert above code? I was thinking about nested table, but it seems not very suitable here. Any better solutions out there?

It's been a while since I've done any SQL Server development, but if I recall correctly, a table data type in Transact SQL is used for storing temporary result sets.
In your example, you seem to be temporaily storing the results of a query in a Transact SQL table, and then opening a cursor to iterate over the results.
In Oracle PL/SQL, there is usually no need to do this, just open a cursor:
create or replace procedure test_proc as
begin
for curs_rec in (select old_value, new_value from myTable) loop
... process each row ...
end loop;
end test_proc;
If you really want your results in an array which your code can iterate over, look into the BULK COLLECT clause of the SELECT statement:
create or replace procedure test_proc as
TYPE array_type IS TABLE of myTable%ROWTYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
my_array array_type;
begin
SELECT * BULK COLLECT INTO my_array FROM myTable;
for idx in my_array.FIRST..my_array.LAST loop
dbms_output.put_line(my_array(idx).col1);
end loop;
end test_proc;
Note that I have not actually compiled the above code, so there may be syntax errors :)
Also, prior to 9i you can not BULK COLLECT into a table based on a rowtype (you need to created an array for each attribute).
SQL Server also allows function which return table types. This is similar to PL/SQL pipelined table functions (available in 9i and higher - see the PL/SQL guide), which can be used to materialize rows which can be processed like any other result set.
SQL Server also has a concept of temporary tables which is totally different than Oracle's temporary tables. SQL Server developers must often resort to using temporary tables in their stored procedures; in Oracle, this is rarely necessary.

ORDImageSignature Invalid data type in Oracle 8i

hi there,
i have just started working on Intermedia, i am using Oracle 8i. i have configured the intermedia and executed the ordwebutl.sql file. all othe media data types are working perfectly like, ORDAudio, ORDImage,ORDVideo, but the ORDIMageSIgnature is not working at all. when i use it as data type in any table it says Invalid data type. which means oracle 8i is not recognizing ORDImageSIgnature at all. plz help me as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

The ordimagesignature is not something you can see or hear. It is strictly binary metadata about the image, used only to compare images to each other.
What are you trying to do?
