About CAST function in oracle

Hi ,
Now iam migrating my system from SQL to ORACLE 9i.
Here USERID is of NUMBER(38) type
and DATA is of LONG type in SQL.
I have table named :
PEOPLE and DBATABLE and i run the following code in oracle but found the following error...
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes:
SELECT P.USERID FROM PEOPLE P LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT DATA FROM DBATABLE WHERE NAME='USER' ) R ON CAST(DATA AS VARCHAR(50))= CAST(P.USERID AS VARCHAR(50)) WHERE P.USERLOGID= 1000 AND R.DATA IS NULL;
So help me for finding my error.
I have missed somewhere but could not find what i missed .
Plz help me out.
With regards,
Namus

I messed up with the type conversion of :
USERID -> NUMBER(38)
and DATA -> LONG type in SQL.
I have the checked in the database and found the value of the Column DATA with 31 and when i try to run as :
SELECT DATA FROM DBATABLE WHERE NAME='USER' AND DATA = '31'.
it gives error : Illegal use of the Long datatype and then i tried to cast as :
SELECT CAST<DATA AS INTEGER> FROM DBATABLE WHERE NAME='USER' AND DATA = '31'.
it also give error as:
FROM keyword not found where expected
So plz help me out with this conversion.

Using SYS_EXTRACT_UTC function in Oracle forms version 9

Hi,
I would like to use the function SYS_EXTRACT_UTC in forms but I get an error 201:
identifier 'SYS_EXTRACT_UTC' must be declared.
How can I use this function? do I need any library or something?
Thanks

You can try creating a wrapper database procedure for this and call the procedure
from forms. It should work

How I work with MS-SQL function in oracle

I’m working in oracle now but I don’t know how can I use following function in oracle.
convert, dateadd, datediff, fetch_status, isnumeric, reverse, str and stuff

Also available in 10g, the model clause version, taken from this How to display text in reverse order ?.
WITH t AS (SELECT 'abcdefg' col1
             FROM DUAL
            UNION
           SELECT ''
             FROM DUAL   )
SELECT col1
     , new_col1
FROM t
MODEL
   PARTITION BY (ROWNUM rn)
   DIMENSION BY (0 dim)
   MEASURES     (col1, CAST ('' AS VARCHAR2(255)) new_col1)
   RULES ITERATE(99) UNTIL (LENGTH(new_col1[0]) = LENGTH(col1[0]))
      (new_col1[0] = SUBSTR(col1[0], ITERATION_NUMBER + 1, 1) || new_col1[0])
COL1    NEW_COL1
abcdefg gfedcbaC.

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.

Help on CAST function, defining TYPE TABLE and using a REF cursor

Hi,
I have written a procedure (lookup) inside a package (lookup_pkg) as shown below.
Procedure has an output variable of type PL/SQL TABLE which is defined in the package.
I want to write a wrapper procedure lookupref to the procedure lookup to return a ref cursor.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE lookup_pkg AS
TYPE t_lookup_refcur IS REF CURSOR;
CURSOR c_lookup IS
     Select columns1,2,3,....100
               FROM A, B, C, D, E
               WHERE ROWNUM < 1;
TYPE t_lookup IS TABLE OF c_lookup%ROWTYPE;
Procedure lookup(id Number, o_lookup OUT t_lookup);
End lookup_pkg;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY lookup_pkg As
Procedure lookup(id Number, o_lookup OUT t_lookup) IS
BEGIN
END lookup;
Procedure lookupref(id Number, o_lookupref OUT t_lookup_refcur) IS
o_lookup t_lookup;
BEGIN
lookup(id, o_lookup t_lookup);
OPEN t_lookup_refcur FOR
SELECT *
     FROM TABLE(CAST(o_lookup AS t_lookup));
Exception
End lookupref;
END lookup_pkg;
When I compile this procedure, I am getting invalid datatype Oracle error and
cursor points the datatype t_lookup in the CAST function.
1. Can anyone tell me what is wrong in this. Can I convert a PL/SQL collection (pl/sql table in this case) to PL/SQL datatype table or does it need to be a SQL datatype only (which is created as a type in database).
Also, to resolve this error, I have created a SQL type and table type instead of PL/SQL table in the package as shown below.
create or replace type t_lookuprec as object
               (Select columns1,2,3,....100
               FROM A, B, C, D, E
               WHERE ROWNUM < 1);
create or replace type t_lookup_tab AS table of t_lookuprec;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY lookup_pkg As
Procedure lookup(id Number, o_lookup OUT t_lookup) IS
BEGIN
END lookup;
Procedure lookupref(id Number, o_lookupref OUT t_lookup_refcur) IS
o_lookup t_lookup;
BEGIN
lookup(id, o_lookup t_lookup);
OPEN t_lookup_refcur FOR
SELECT *
     FROM TABLE(CAST(o_lookup AS t_lookup_tab));
Exception
End lookupref;
END lookup_pkg;
When I compile this package, I am getting "PL/SQL: ORA-22800: invalid user-defined type" Oracle error and
points the datatype t_lookup_tab in the CAST function.
2. Can anyone tell me what is wrong. Can I create a type with a select statement and create a table type using type created earlier?
I have checked the all_types view and found that
value for Incomplete column for these two types are YES.
3. What does that mean?
Any suggestions and help is appreciated.
Thanks
Srinivas

create or replace type t_lookuprec as object
(Select columns1,2,3,....100
FROM A, B, C, D, E
WHERE ROWNUM < 1);You are correct that you need to use CREATE TYPE to use the type in SQL.
However unless I am mistaken you appear to have invented your own syntax for CREATE TYPE, suggest you refer to Oracle documentation.

Are there different php functions for Oracle 8 and 9?

Hi!
Are there different php functions for Oracle 8 and 9?
Thanks for your answer!

You can use the oci8* functions for Oracle 8, 9 and 10.
It is the most recent PHP interface to Oracle, and uses Oracle's most recent
API.
The name oci8 comes from the version number of Oracle - version 8 - when
Oracle introduced a new C API. It succeeded the original OCI and got the
common name OCI8. The original OCI now has the common name of OCI7.

Bulk Replacements using Replace function in oracle 8i

Hi All,
Iam using oracle 8i version and i need to use Replace function for bulf replacements i mean i need to replace around 250 rows. So please anyone suggest me how to proceed
on this request as iam using oracle 8i version.
Thanks!
Srini

Write one update statement.
The where condition is the filter what rows need to be touched.
The SET condition will do the data change. For example it could use the REPLACE function if that is what it is needed.
One single update statement over 20 rows would mean the task is done in BULK. 20 single updates that each handle one row would mean it is row by row = slow by slow processing.

Use of between functionality in oracle

what is the use of between functionality in oracle
my understanding is if i tell val between a and b then it should be >a and <b
whether it will vary with different versions of oracle
please clarify
thanks in advance

Have you considered looking in the documentation?
"This comparison operator tests whether a value lies in a specified range. It means: greater than or equal to low value and less than or equal to high value."

ODSI service using function from oracle database

Hi ,
I need to create a ODSI service using function from oracle database.
I am not sure how to create a Physical Layer and Logical Layer using the function fron db.
Kindly provide a sample . I need It ASAP. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Tara

Here's what you do.
Create New Physical Data Service -> Relational -> MyDataSource -> Table -> SomeTable ... finish the wizard.
So now you have a Physical Data Service that represents a database table.
Create New Physcial Data Service -> Relational -> MyDataSource (the same one as above) -> Database Function -> Enter UPPER for the Function name, enter MyUpper fro the XQuery Function. Finish the Wizard (use something like MyUpperDs for the ds name).
Open MyUpperDs. Right-click -> Edit Signature on MyUpper. Change the ReturnType to string, change the Occurrence to Zero or One.
Add a parameter, change the Type to string, change the Occurrence to Zero or One.
Save.
Now, open the first ds you made SomeTable.ds (whatever). Run it in the test view.
Go to the Overview tab. Create New Operation. Give it the name SOMETABLE_UPPER. Save it.
Go to the Query Map tab, open SOMETABLE_UPPER. Drag and drop SOMETABLE (the system-generated function into the mapper. It will show a dotted line from SOMETABLE to the Return. Now drag-and-drop the SOMETABLE to the top-level element of the return type, it will show solid lines from each element in SOMETABLE to each element in the return type.
Now, drag-and-drop MyUpperDs.MyUpper into the Query Mapper. Edit the source, find where it added the line "for $x in myd:MyUpper()" and delete that line.
Change a line that simply returns a value to use your function, for example, change
<FIRST_NAME>{fn:data($CUSTOMER/FIRST_NAME)}</FIRST_NAME>
to
<FIRST_NAME>{myd:MyUpper(fn:data($CUSTOMER/FIRST_NAME))}</FIRST_NAME>
Click on the Plan tab and Show Query Plan. You will see that in the query plan, it is using the database UPPER function where you specified MyUpper.
Go to the Test View and run it.

Conversion functions in Oracle 11g Express;HEXTORAW &RAWTOHEX

hi everybody !
hextoraw ('0041') must return A but it doesn't return this value ,,it returns 0041
I'm using Oracle 11g Express
select hextoraw('0041') from dual; --> 0041 ? but must return A
why is that ?
please help me
thank you

Hextoraw takes your hexadecimal 41 and transforms to a single byte containing the decimal value 65 in a RAW datatype.
But a RAW datatype can contain anything - it can be binary data, it can be text data.
So your client cannot safely just show it as text - it performs an implicit rawtohex for you and displays the RAW data in hexadecimal form:
SQL> select hextoraw('414243') val from dual;
VAL
414243You need to explicitly tell Oracle that this particular RAW value is actually text and not something binary.
For that you can use a casting function:
SQL> select utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(hextoraw('414243')) val from dual;
VAL
ABCWhen cast to a varchar2, Oracle now knows it is text data and can display it.

Date shows timestamp with cast function

hi,
i am entering date from java to oracle, when i used CAST function to convert as TIMESTAMP it shows the correct time in ONE DB environment.
But the same date not showing proper time in another DB environment.
It always shows 12.00.00.000000
shall i want to set any values in db level.

Casting Decimals in Oracle

This code worked as a query in DB2, but I am not sure what the syntax is for casting decimals in Oracle:
decimal(decimal(A.record_count-A.generic_count-A.unusable_count,10,2) / decimal(B.record_count,10,2) * 100,10,2) usable_percent
The full query is:
SELECT B.load_date,
B.dsrc_id,
C.dsrc_code,
A.table_seq,
A.table_name,
A.record_type,
B.record_count total_records,
A.record_count,
A.generic_count,
A.unusable_count,
A.record_count-A.generic_count-A.unusable_count usable_count,
decimal(decimal(A.record_count-A.generic_count-A.unusable_count,10,2) / decimal(B.record_count,10,2) * 100,10,2) usable_percent
FROM (select load_id, table_seq, table_name, record_type,sum(record_count) record_count, sum(generic_count) generic_count, sum(unusable_count) unusable_count
from umf_sum_quality group by load_id, table_seq, table_name, record_type) A,
(select load_id, dsrc_id, load_date, sum(record_count) record_count
from umf_load_sum group by load_id, dsrc_id, load_date) B,
dsrc_code C
WHERE B.load_id = A.load_id and C.dsrc_id = B.dsrc_id
ORDER BY B.load_date desc, B.dsrc_id, A.table_seq, A.table_name, A.record_type

If you are running on isqlplus or sql *plus
set numformat 99999999999999999999.99999999999999but all numeric values follows the above format.
If the expression's output comes with huge decimals then you can use the Round Function
Round (Expression,N)
N- No of digits required in the decimal area.

Derive found flag in SQL with where clause using TABLE(CAST function

Dear All,
Stored procedure listEmployees
==========================
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE STRING_ARRAY AS VARRAY(8000) OF VARCHAR2(15);
empIdList STRING_ARRAY
countriesList STRING_ARRAY
SELECT EMP_ID, EMP_COUNTRY, EMP_NAME, FOUND_FLAG_
FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE
EMP_ID IN
(SELECT * FROM TABLE(CAST(empIdList AS STRING_ARRAY))
AND EMP_COUNTRY IN
(SELECT * FROM TABLE(CAST(countriesList AS STRING_ARRAY))
=================
I have a stored procedure which lists the employees using above simple query.
Here I am using table CAST function to find the list of employees in one go
instead of looping through each and every employee
Everything fine until requirements forced me to get the FOUND_FLAG as well.
Now I wanted derive the FOUND_FLAG by using rownum, rowid, decode functions
but I was not successful
Can you please suggest if there is any intelligent way to say weather the
row is found for given parameters in the where clause?
If not I may have to loop through each set of empIdList, countriesList
and find the values individually just to set a flag. In this approach I can’t use
the TABLE CAST function which is efficient I suppose.
Note that query STRING_ARRAY is an VARRAY. It is very big in size and this procedure
suppose to handle large sets of data.
Thanks In advance
Regards

If your query returns results, you have found them... so your "FOUND" flag might be a constant,...
