Bcp queryout with column name in output

DECLARE @cmd nvarchar(1000);
SELECT @cmd = 'bcp "SELECT ObjectID,FeatureID,ParcelID,Card,ISNULL(Units,0) as Units,ISNULL(Bed,0) as Bed,ISNULL(Bath,0) as Bath,ISNULL(Half,0) as Half,TaxYear FROM pubtables.dbo.Tax_StructureApartment" queryout "\\WDC1GISSHP1\Scripts\DataManagement\DataMaintenance\SyncDataCatalog2SDE\CAMA.txt" -T -c';
PRINT @cmd
exec xp_cmdshell @cmd;
I am extracting certain fields from a large table and using bcp to output to a file. The code above works, but the output does not have the column name (i.e. header). How would I go about doing that ?
Thank you.

you need to add a query based on catalog view information_schema.columns for that
see this example

Migrating from Sql Server tables with column name starting with integer

hi,
i'm trying to migrate a database from sqlserver but there are a lot of tables with column names starting with integer ex: *8420_SubsStatusPolicy*
i want to make an offline migration so when i create the scripts these column are created with the same name.
can we create rules, so when a column like this is going to be migrated, to append a character in front of it?
when i use Copy to Oracle option it renames it by default to A8420_SubsStatusPolicy
Edited by: user8999602 on Apr 20, 2012 1:05 PM

Hi,
Oracle doesn't allow object names to start with an integer. I'll check to see what happens during a migration about changing names as I haven't come across this before.

Mike

How to get the Column names of output that is displaying in Sql Developer(Oracle 11g).

Hi,
    I am using OCCI to interact with DB through code, which means I am writing a vc++ file to interact with Data Base and execute the Stored Procedure which I am calling from the C++ Code. And also displaying the output of the Stored Procedures to the Front End. I am succeeded in this, but now I should be able to display the Column names of the output to Front End. Can any one help me on this.
Example:
Sno |   Sname
------- |-------------
1          ABC
2          DEF
I am getting (1,ABC) and (2,DEF) as the output of the Stored Procedure but I need the Column names also to display. How to get them.
Thanks in Advance..:)

Look at Re: exporting csv via pl/sql - select statement?
It has an example how to extract the column name from a cursor. You have to check, whether you can use DBMS_SQL.DESCRIBE_COLUMNS
Your procedure might need another out parameter, that returns the column names , e.g. as comma separated list or as varray.

Add header record with column names while writing csv file fileAdapter?

Hi I am writing the output of a query to csv file using fileadapter. but the file generated does not have the header record with the column names. how can I achieve this. please help.

I'm trying to do the same, but something is not right with my syntax and I haven't been able to resolve all day. Can someone spot what I'm doing wrong?
Here is the variable with the data I want to insert as the headers for the CSV:
Updated variable "CPARWebJEHeaders"
<CPARWebJEHeaders>
<Root-Element xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/CPWebJEARWrite">
<CPARWebJE>
<Project>Project</Project>
<Organization>CC_Org</Organization>
<Account>Account</Account>
<TransactionAmount>Amount</TransactionAmount>
<TransactionDesc>Description</TransactionDesc>
</CPARWebJE>
</Root-Element>
</CPARWebJEHeaders>
Here is the InputVariable data for my invoke to the File Adapter:
[2008/03/24 15:27:30] Updated variable "WriteCPARWebJEFile_Write_InputVariable"
<WriteCPARWebJEFile_Write_InputVariable>
<part xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" name="Root-Element">
<Root-Element xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/CPWebJEARWrite">

<ns0:Account />
<ns0:TransactionAmount>176</ns0:TransactionAmount>
<ns0:TransactionDesc />

<ns0:TransactionDesc />
</ns0:CPARWebJE>
</Root-Element>
</part>
</WriteCPARWebJEFile_Write_InputVariable>
This is my latest iteration of the insertBefore command, which is done right after the transformation populating the variable above:
<bpelx:assign>
<bpelx:insertBefore>
<bpelx:from variable="CPARWebJEHeaders" query="/ns12:Root-Element/ns12:CPARWebJE"/>
<bpelx:to variable="WriteCPARWebJEFile_Write_InputVariable" part="Root-Element"/>
</bpelx:insertBefore>
</bpelx:assign>
And finally, here is the current error message:
<selectionFailure xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/">
<part name="summary">
<summary>Assign Operation Misuse. The parent of the selection result does not exist or is not an XML element; insertBefore operation cannot be performed. Please check the BPEL source at line number "96" .</summary>
</part>
</selectionFailure>
I understand the error message, but for the life of me can't get it resolved. Trying to change the "to" variable, I can't even get the process to deploy. FYI this is on 10.1.2 and I can't go to 10.1.3 yet, but I think this is a syntax issue and not related to the version.
Thanks!

Find all tables in db with column name of a particular string?

I'm looking for all tables in a db that have a certain column name. How can I find this?

John,
thanks for your answer.
John Mcginnis wrote:
The quick search field in the schema browser is doing client-side filtering of the list of objects. This means we can only filter on things that we already have fetched from the database, like the object name. We have no current plans to extend the types of information that can filter on, although it is possible we might add the ability to filter based on a few other types of information that we generally fetch with the object name. However, filtering by column name would require pre-fetching the lists of columns for all tables and as such is not likely to be added to the schema browsers search field.
I'm sure you guys had a Toad review to understand how things are done there.....so
My 2 cents are: instead of pre-fetching the columns of all tables why don't you add a button below the table drop-down list which should fetch the tables based on the filter columns condition - exactly like Toad.
Thanks,

Problem with column names

I have named my columns for exaomple column trasanctionid as "TransactionID".But when i write a process and run the query in the process it takes the column name as all in cappital letters.Hence it gives me follwing error.
ORA-00904: "TRANSACTIONID": invalid identifier
I want to know whether there is any constraint to name columns all inc apital letters in apex.I am finding it difficult to change column name and then make changes throughout the app for it.This error has popped up many times for me and I had to everytime change the column anme to all capitals to get rid of this error.
Edited by: dwitiya on Sep 3, 2010 10:52 AM

Glad to hear it.
And as you can see from the other responses, case sensitive column names are not widely understood (many people assume they don't exist), so it's really best to avoid them wherever possible. The only time I've seen column names defaulting to case sensitive was when we imported a table from Microsoft Excel using a third-party tool (Toad). This caused us a rather significant amount of headache, and it's something I've been careful to check for ever since.
Of course, once a table or a column is created with a case-sensitive name, it can be hard to break free, as you're discovering--you can't just alter the table and rename the column, as your existing code will break. (transactionid is equal to "TRANSACTIONID", but not "TransactionID".) So if you're not willing to go through your entire codebase to fix the case-sensitivity (and most of us don't have time to), you're going to have to get used to putting quotes on the things that need it.
Which will, of course, help you remember to make your table and column names case-insensitive in the future. :-)

JTable - Help with column names and rowselection

Hi,
Is there anyone that can help me. I have successfully been able to load a JTable from an MS access database using vectors. I am now trying to find out how to hardcode the column names into the JTable as a string.
Can anyone please also show me some code on how to be able update a value in a cell (from ''N'' to ''Y'') by double clicking on that row.
How can I make all the other columns non-editable.
Here is my code:
     private JTable getJTable() {
          Vector columnNames = new Vector();
Vector data = new Vector();
try
// Connect to the Database
String driver = "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
// String url = "jdbc:odbc:Teenergy"; // if using ODBC Data Source name
String url = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=C:/Documents " +
          "and Settings/Administrator/My Documents/mdbTEST.mdb";
String userid = "";
String password = "";
Class.forName( driver );
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection( url, userid, password );
// Read data from a table
String sql = "select * from PurchaseOrderView";
Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery( sql );
ResultSetMetaData md = rs.getMetaData();
int columns = md.getColumnCount();
// Get column names
for (int i = 1; i <= columns; i++)
columnNames.addElement( md.getColumnName(i) );
// Get row data
while (rs.next())
Vector row = new Vector(columns);
for (int i = 1; i <= columns; i++)
row.addElement( rs.getObject(i) );
data.addElement( row );
rs.close();
stmt.close();
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println( e );
          if (jTable == null) {
               jTable = new JTable(data, columnNames);
               jTable.setAutoCreateColumnsFromModel(false);
               jTable.setAutoResizeMode(javax.swing.JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_NEXT_COLUMN);
               jTable.setShowHorizontalLines(false);
               jTable.setGridColor(java.awt.SystemColor.control);
               jTable.setRowSelectionAllowed(true);
               jTable.setSelectionMode(javax.swing.ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
               jTable.setShowGrid(true);
          return jTable;
     }

this method has a default behavior to supply exactly what you're seeing: column names consisting of the capitalized letters, "A", "B", "C".Thanks Pete, had seen that but never really thought about it... about 10 days ago somebody needed to obtain Excel column names, I'd offered a rigorous solution and now see it would have been shorter and simpler (if a little heavier) to extend DefaultTableModel and provide the two additional methods needed (getOffsetCol and getColIndex).
Not much of a difference in LOC but certainly more elegant ;-)

Jtable need help with column name

hi, i'm currently working on a project where my jtable grab data from the database.
as for the where clause i am thinking if i can get the column name as the field name in the table. However, I would like to hide the field name from the user.
So, I'm here to kindly ask if there is a way that i can display the column name that is hidden from the field name.
thanks in advance.

actually, I am thinking of a lazy way to add the 'where' clause for my sql statement.
so, instead of detecting which column that is related to the field i can just use the columns header name as my field. But on the other hand, I'd like to hide my field name from the user .
For say my field name is "emp_no" but it is displayed as "Employee No" to the user. and when i do my sql statement i can do something like this:
select * from emp_details where + jtable.getcolumnname(i).tostring() + = jtable.getvalueat(j,i)
is there a way i can do it so???
thanks again. and thanks for the reply

Problem with column name width

Hello!
I have a report and the column names are too big. Is there a possible way to make them appear in two lines so the column width would be smaller?
Thanx in advance for any answers...

Hello,
I can't reproduce that problem. Probably dependent of the Template you're using. You can try setting the height of the class (I can't tell you which one - unless you set up an example on apex.oracle.com) to a larger value.

How can i export the data to excel which has 2 tables with same number of columns & column names?

Hi everyone, again landed up with a problem.
After trying a lot to do it myself, finally decided to post here..
I have created a form in form builder 6i, in which on clicking a button the data gets exported to excel sheet.
It is working fine with a single table. The problem now is that i am unable to do the same with 2 tables.
Because both the tables have same number of columns & column names.
Below are 2 tables with column names:
Table-1 (MONTHLY_PART_1)
Table-2 (MONTHLY_PART_2)
SL_NO
SL_NO
COMP
COMP
DUE_DATE
DUE_DATE
U-1
U-1
U-2
U-2
U-4
U-4
U-20
U-20
U-25
U-25
Since both the tables have same column names, I'm getting the following error :
Error 402 at line 103, column 4
alias required in SELECT list of cursor to avoid duplicate column names.
So How can i export the data to excel which has 2 tables with same number of columns & column names?
Should i paste the code? Should i post this query in 'SQL and PL/SQL' Forum?
Help me with this please.
Thank You.

You'll have to *alias* your columns, not prefix it with the table names:

Problems on selecting views with french characters into column names

Hi All,
I have views with column names such as "Détermination Planimétriq" or "Année de construction:*";
I can get in my c# function this columns names from ALL_VIEWS dictionary table, but if I try to make a selectionby use of an OracleCommand, Oracle returns an "Invalid identifier" error:
SELECT "Détermination Planimétriq" FROM mytable;
System.Data.OracleClient.OracleException (0x80131938): ORA-00904: "Determination Planimetriq": invalid identifier at System.Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection.CheckError(OciErrorHandle errorHandle, Int32 rc) at ...
Any suggestion?...

Be wary of using character codes outside the Western European "simple" alphanumeric [A-Z0-9] for object names, i.e. columns, table names, function and procedure names, and so on.
First reason, there is a 30 character limit for most object names, and characters that have to be spelled out with unicode characters take more space, i.e.:
select dump( 'Détermination Planimétriq' ) from dual;
DUMP('D?TERMINATIONPLANIM?TRIQ')
Typ=96 Len=29: 68,239,[ ... ]Although the varchar string for that column name looks like 25 characters, it needs room for 29 to store the e<acute> character. And could also depend on the client settings. Using case sensitive names is not a best practice, its better to avoid specifying objects with the double quotes.
