Change field name in sql statement

How can one change a field name in a specified table using an sql statement?
Thanks.
Dan.

You will have to
ALTER TABLE youredb.youretable ADD newcolname datatype(length);
then copy the data from the old to the new collumn name.
Then:
ALTER TABLE youredb.youretable DROP oldcolname;
Hope this helps, i dont think there is any way to rename a field in 1 operation.

In sets (t-code GS01-04): How to change Field name

HI,
I have created sets for rule in validation by t-code GS01. Where I have given Tbale name BSEG and Field name KOSTL(Cost Center No). Now, I want to change field name SAKNR (GL NO) instead of cost center. When I am trying to change field name t-code GS02, there is field name is in display mode and no way to change it.
As I have lot of entries in each set, so that creation of new sets is very hard job again. Further when I trying to create new sets by reference it didnt change the table name and field name.
Please provide me a solution.
Khalid

Hi,
Hope it is not possible, logically total field is changing and the dependent entrie will not stay as it is. I don't think this is possible.
Eventhough the values are same but the fields are different.

Why can't I change the names of my states in my symbol?

For some reason, Fireworks won't let me change the names of my states in my symbol.
I double click on the state name in the states panel, and nothing happens.
It works fine for normal "non-symbol" pages.
Can you normally change the names of states in symbols?
Any ideas why I am having difficulty doing so?

Thank you SO much! Funny thing, I didn't even notice the tiny folder icon at the top of the info window until I saw it in the screen shot at the beginning of that article.
See, I have begun changing the icons of the folders of digital scrapbooking alphabets I have (screenshot below). Now it will be so much easier to scroll through my hundreds of alphas and choose one, because I can SEE them without going in and out of each folder.
A million thank yous!!!!!

Adding a field to an sql statement in Oracle Reports error ORA-00933

We have been requested to add a field that already exists in the table referred to by the sql statement in Oracle Reports Builder. The report was set up by a consultant about 3 yrs ago and we don't really have much skill in this area. What is happening when I try to modify the SQL statement, either adding a field or deleting a field to the SELECT statement, causes an error message preventing the statement from being saved. The only way out of the error message is to click Cancel. The error message is
ORA-00933:SQL command not properly ended
ORDER BY Program ==> NAME
Even adding or deleting a space anywhere in the SQL statement causes the error (not adding any new fields). A coworker found that if we comment out the ORDER BY, the statement will accept the new field in the SELECT section, however then we lose the order by functionality. I would like to add one additional field before the FROM. Not sure if any additional data are needed. Thank you.

Hi Denis,
I tried your suggestion. The good thing is that adding the comma allowed me to be able to add a.campus to the select statement, unfortunately, another error message happened.
ORA-00936: missing expression SELECT p . person_uid PIDM_KEY ,
p . id_number , p . full_name_lfmi name , p . BIRTH_DATE , p . GENDER Sex ,
Decode ( a . residency , 'D' , p . Primary_Ethnicity , 'F' ) Ethn , a . academic_period TERM ,
CASE WHEN : P_group_by = 'PROGRAM THEN a I started over and tried only putting in the comma and get the same message even though I didn't add campus. After that, removed the comma which led to the ORA-00933 error message. So once again, I had to close the file without saving, in order for the report to run at all.

Is there a way to change field names globally in Form Wizard?

Form Wizard often selects nearby text to create a name for a text box. Is there a way I can globally change the field name for a series of text boxes? For instance, I have a field name that Form Wizard created that says "Policy NumberPolicy that requires a specific" and I want it to be simply "Policy Number."
If there is no way to fix it globally, is there a way to prevent it happening in the first place?
Also, is there a way to automatically convert a text box to a check box?
Thanks

Unfortunately, the answer to all of your questions is no. The closest you can come is to use a script to create a new field with a new name that has most of the same properties as the old field, and then delete the old field, but you'd have to find some way of deciding which fields shold be changed. You do not have any control over the form wizard apart from changing the PDF so it has a different design/layout. Converting a text field to a check box wold have to use the approach metioned earlier, but you'd have the same problem of determining which ones to change.

Cant change field names

I am working in the hierarchy and re-naming fields names for reference when pointing to them in scripts. Everything has been working fine for days now. Now for some reason I cannot re-name an object. I am allowed to highlight the object, delete the existing text, and re-type the new name for the field. But for some reason when I click on something else the object goes back to its original name. I have also tried right clicking and change the name there as well as in the binding tab. But still no luck.
Weirdly, I can change the names of other objects in the hierarchy, just not any of the ones I need to. Any idea's?

I have never heard of this before ...can you send the form to [email protected] and I will have a look. Please indicate which field is causing you the grief.

Pulling a value from a field for a SQL statement

How do i pull the value from a Formatted Text Field into a sql query? Im trying to create an interface to allow a user to put the first name in a field then poll the database for anyone of that name. I do not know of how to get the value that is put in the field by the user.

Roy, can you give more details about what version of JDeveloper you are using?

How to change field size using SQL against an oracle Database

I am an admitted novice user, looking to become more proficient.
I have a field in a table that I need to expand the field size. The table is called Inquiries. The data type is text. The current Field Size is 10. I want to increase it, to either the max, or somethign long enough to fit TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP PROGRAM.
What is the SQL command to change the field size, and what is the max for a Text Field Size

And/Or, an even better question might be,
Do I need to use SQL*PLUS to do this, or are there better tools. I.e, I like how in Access, you can open up a database in Design view and just change the amount for the field size. Is there a similar "easy" method to do something like that with an Oracle database.
My current version of the server/database is:
Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.6.0 - Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 9.2.0.6.0 - Production
I was thinking I had to do SQL commands to perform the action, but there may be another way that I am not thinking about with all of the tools at my disposal. When I installed Oracle on my desktop, I installed most of the management tools and networking services, if that helps

How to set Query SQL Statement parameter dynamically in Sender JDBCAdpter

Hi All,
I have one scenario in which we are using JDBC Sender Adapter.
Now in this case,we need to set Query SQL Statement with a SELECT statement based on some fields.
This SQL statement is not constant, it would need to be changed.
Means sometimes receiver will want to execute SQL statement with these fields and sometimes they will want to execute it with different fields.
We can create separate channels for each SQL statement but again that is not an optimum solution.
So ,I am looking out for a way to set these parameters dynamically or set SQL statement at Runtime.
Can you all please help me to get this?

Shweta ,
<i>Sometimes receiver will want to execute SQL statement dynamically</i>....
How you will get the query dynamically? Ok Let me assume, consider they are sending the query through file, then its definitely possible. But u need BPM and also not sender JDBC receiver adapter instead, receiver JDBC adapter.
SQL Query File ->BPM>Synchronous send [Fetch data from DB]--->Response -
>...............
Do u think the above design will suit's ur case!!!!
Best regards,
raj.

Hash in database field name

I have a field name that has a hash (#) symbol in the name. I
have no control over the naming structure of this particular
database. I need to output this field. How the heck do I do this? I
know how if the output has a # in it, but what about the actual
field name?
Thanks,

Your best bet is to alias the field name in SQL before you
start dealing with your recordset in CF. You should be able to
escape the hash using ## instead of #.
If for some reason you can't alias the field name in your SQL
statement, you can output query data in the following format:
QueryName["FieldName"][RowNumber]
I bet you can do something like this:
qMyQuery["Hash##Field"][1]

Change in Name Format

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement. It is change in Name Format.
The name format for the employees who belongs to other country personnel areas to be changed to show the Form of Address, First Name & Last Name in Infotype 0002- Personal Data.
I have made changes in the IMG and try to see the reflection in PA30, but of no use.
Could you anyone help me in this with your valuable suggestions.
Regards,
Sekhar.
Edited by: SekharRHR on Jun 7, 2011 3:32 PM

It can be done through CMOD... by changing field name..
Please follow the following instructions.
Enter infotype 0002 and go Last name and press F1.
Select the Technical information and copy the "Data Element" for that particular field.
Enter T-code cmod
Now select from above menu GO TO then Text Enhancements then Key words then Change.
Now Enter the Data Element and change the last name into first name..
Repeat the same behavoiur for other field.

Database Control - Dynamically setting the @jc.sql statement 'attribute' ?

Hi,
I have a JCX file that extends a database control. I wan't to be able to set the
@jc.sql statement 'attribute' value dynamically. There does not seem to be a setProperty()
api in the
DatabaseControl (interface) like there is in some other types of control (e.g.,
FileControl).
The code extract below sets the value statically, however I wan't to be able to
set this for the method dynamically (say at runtime) and not necessary at design
time...
I would really appreciate, if someone knows any way that this is possible ...
Thanks very much,
Vishwa
CODE EXTRACT >>>>>>..public interface PointBaseCustomersControl extends DatabaseControl, com.bea.control.ControlExtension

Trying to reference field name of my record Type in my procedure!

Hello,
I am stuck. I am trying to reference field names in my record type declared in my Package declaration.
Here is an example. Don't be scared, it's a very simple package. I just need some directions what to use to accomplish this.
--look into this part of the package body
FOR cur_rate IN c_rate
LOOP
rate_data(1).field_name := cur_rate.rate_pct;
--field name = AK_PCT, AL_PCT and so on ...
END LOOP;
END rate_tab_qry;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE rate_pkg IS
TYPE rate_rec IS RECORD (
id cycle_rates.id%TYPE
,cycle cycle_rates.cycle%TYPE
,scac cycle_rates.scac%TYPE
,gbloc cycle_rates.gbloc%TYPE
,code cycle_rates.code%TYPE
,AK_PCT cycle_rates.rate_pct%TYPE
,AL_PCT cycle_rates.rate_pct%TYPE
,AR_PCT cycle_rates.rate_pct%TYPE
,so on...
TYPE cycle_rate_tab IS TABLE OF rate_rec INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
PROCEDURE rate_tab_qry(rate_data IN OUT cycle_rate_tab,
p_id cycle_rates.id%TYPE,
p_cycle cycle_rates.cycle%TYPE,
p_scac cycle_rates.scac%TYPE,
p_gbloc cycle_rates.gbloc%TYPE,
p_code cycle_rates.code%TYPE);
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY rate_pkg IS
PROCEDURE rate_tab_qry(rate_data IN OUT cycle_rate_tab,
p_id cycle_rates.id%TYPE,
p_cycle cycle_rates.cycle%TYPE,
p_scac cycle_rates.scac%TYPE,
p_gbloc cycle_rates.gbloc%TYPE,

IS
CURSOR c_rate IS
SELECT state, rate_pct
FROM cycle_rates
WHERE cycle = p_cycle
AND scac = p_scac
AND gbloc = p_gbloc
AND code = p_code;
BEGIN
rate_data(1).id := p_id;
rate_data(1).cycle := p_cycle;
rate_data(1).scac := p_scac;
rate_data(1).gbloc := p_gbloc;
rate_data(1).code := p_code;
FOR cur_rate IN c_rate
LOOP
rate_data(1).field_name := cur_rate.rate_pct;
--field name = AK_PCT, AL_PCT and so on ...
END LOOP;
END rate_tab_qry;
I need to know, how to reference my field name for each state in my procedure that are in my record type. The problem is it won't allow me to use something like this.
select state || '_PCT
from cycle_rates;
which would eventually show me each state concatenated with '_PCT, e.g. AK_PCT and that's my field names.
For example,
FOR cur_rate IN c_rate
LOOP
rate_data(1).field_name := cur_rate.rate_pct;
--field_name = AK_PCT, AL_PCT and so on...
END LOOP;
I would appreciate it if somene can direct me. Thanks.

About hints in sql statements

hi,
can you plz provide any best sides for sql hints?

Using Index Hints in SQL statements - Cause we know more about our application than Oracle does
Hints are used to give specific information that we know about our data and application, to Oracle. This further improves the performance of our system. There can be instances where the default optimizer may not be efficient for a certain SQL statements. We can specify HINTS with the SQL statements, to improve the efficiency of those SQL statements.
<cut>
By using Hints, you can improve certain SQL statements that might otherwise be inefficient.
>
That is just so wrong and completely misses the point.
If a query is inefficient, then it can be down to poor database design, lack of statistics, lack of correct indexes (sometimes too many indexes), or poorly written SQL statements. Hacking an SQL statement with Hints to try and make it work better because you believe you "know more about our application than Oracle does", shows a complete lack of understanding of the internals of Oracle. Oracle doesn't need to know about the application, but it certainly does need to know about how the data is stored and related on the underlying tables and in the tablespaces and datafiles etc. and it's sure as hell got a better idea about that than any programmer, especially as it can change and adapt in the future as the data changes, which a programmers SQL statements (with fixed hints) won't.
That article is a good example of the wrong attitude towards using hints. Thanks for posting that to demonstrate it.

Strage Performance Problems with SQL Statements....

Hi,
I have realized a strange performance collapse while changing simple things in SQL Statements...
I have build a simple Statement:
SELECT
a.AAA,
a.BBB,
a.CCC,
b.AAA
from
TABLE_A a,
TABLE_B b,
TABLE_C c
where
a.XXX=b.XXX
and c.XXX = a.XXX
and c.yyy = 'SOMETHING'
Its very fast, even with complex XSL Transformations...
After Putting a GROUP BY or DISTINCT into the statement (to surpress Dataset "Clones") it tooks around 100 times more Time then before....
I have tested the statement in a SQLPlus, it was as fast as before, but in the XMLPublisher it tooks much longer.....
Have you realizesd this Problem before?
Greetings...

PROBLEM SOLVED !
It has to be 8.1.6 across the whole environment.
