To check whether there is any size mismatch between columns of two tables

Hi,
Here i got two tables T and M where i am going to migrate data from T to M. But before migrating i need to check whether all the data in source table fits into destination table columns. The datatypes of all columns in source table T is of Varchar2 only as it is a temp table.
Ex :- Table 'T' (Source table) with columns
T_Lat Varchar2(50);
T_Amt Varchar2(50);
T_Cat Varchar2(50);
T_Vat Varchar2(50);
Now I have another table 'M'(Destination Table) with columns
M_Lat Varchar2(50);
M_Amt varchar2(25);
M_Cat date;
M_Vat number;
Now my task is I have to do a prevalidation of the data in 'T' that whether all the data in those columns will suit for the destination table columns respectively (to check whether there is any size mismatch). This check should be done dynamically.
For suppose, in T_Amt(source column of T table) if text is abt 50 characters, it cant fit M_Amt(destination column of M table). In this case it should throw an error indicating that destination column size is less for the source column.
Note:- There is no unique mapping column for these two tables and there are about 400 columns in the source table to be validate
I think it can be done using arrays or plsql tables.
Can any one help in this regard.

Just because the source table T_Amt column is defined as 50 doesn't mean any of the data is really that long. So the data itself needs to be checked. That is just what a simple query can do.

Re: Help in Execute Immediate - Invalid relational Operator
Here is the modified sample query and results for a query of a clone of the EMP table with some modified data
select count(*) cnt,
       -- job column
       sum(case when job is null then 1 else 0 end) job_nul,
       sum(case when job = 'SALESMAN' then 1 else 0 end) job_salesman,
       min(length(job)) job_minlength, max(length(job)) job_maxlength,
       min(job) job_min, max(job) job_max,

       sum(case when hiredate is null then 1 else 0 end) hiredate_nul,
       min(hiredate) hiredate_min,
       max(hiredate) hiredate_max
        from emp1

There are 14 total records, 2 where JOB is null, 4 where the JOB is SALESMAN. The MIN length of the JOB data is 5 and the MAX is 9.
Look at the date values. The results tell me I have some problem data.
The length data tells me if I try to put the JOB data into another table I need to define the length as at least 9 or it won't fit.
For your use case you might find that all of the data in the T_Lat column is shorter than 26 and will actually fit into the M_Lat target table column.

To check whether there is any format mismatch between columns of two tables

Hi,
I have got a table 'T' (Source table) with columns
T_Lat Varchar2(50);
T_Amt Varchar2(50);
T_Cat Varchar2(50);
(all these above columns have numeric data)
Actually, Here I have taken only the columns having numeric data from table 'T'
Now I have another table 'M'(Destination Table) with columns
M_Lat number;
M_AMt number;
M_Cat number;
Now my task is I have to do a prevalidation of the data in 'T' that whether all the data in those columns will suit for the destination table columns respectively (to check whether there is any format mismatch). This check should be done dynamically(as there are more than 50 columns in real).
Note:- There is no unique mapping column for these two tables
I think it can be done using arrays or plsql tables. But i dont have idea using them.
Can any one help me in this regard.

Why, What's wrong with these post and there responce?

Hi,
How to see if your data is in the correct format depends on your data.
In general, see {message:id=3603878}
For more specific requirements, something more efficient might be possible. For example,
LTRIM ( t_lat,
, '0123456789'
) IS NULLwill be true if (and only if) t_lat consists entirely of digits (or if t_lat is NULL).
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
In the case of a DML operation (such as INSERT) the sample data should show what the tables are like before the DML, and the results will be the contents of the changed table(s) after the DML.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using.

Issue while generating MD5 if there are any special characters in the CLOB

Hi Guys,
I need your help...
We are using dbms_crypto.hash to generate the MD5 hash value for a CLOB that will be sent to other feeder systems. The feeder systems validate the file by generating the MD5 hash value on their end and compare with the MD5 generated in Oracle and accept the file only if the MD5 hash value matches.
The MD5 file matches between both the systems except in the case where there are special characters in the CLOB. Somehow, MD5 is prefixing Â character before any special character and calculating the MD5 value. In our case, our special characters being ®, §, ™, ©....
This is a high priority issue for us and it is holding our UAT.
We are using Oracle 11.2.0.2.0.
Your response is really appreciated.
Best Regards
Gupta

See if my reply in this thread addresses your problem.
Re: MD5 HASH computed from DBMS_CRYPTO does not match .NET MD5
The fix in almost all of these cases is to understand that the Crypto package always converts everything to AL32UTF8 before hashing.
ALWAYS.
ALWAYS.
ALWAYS.
Unless the 'other' hash generators (substitute any generator you wish) do it the Oracle way you will NEVER get a match.
NEVER.
NEVER.
NEVER.
There are no workarounds.

How to check whether there are any statistics in a schema or not?

Hi,
I was given a task of refreshing sa schema in CRM2 instance from CRM1.
But I did it with statistics=none.
++++
exp sa/sa@CRM1 OWNER=SA file=CRM1_SA.dmp log=CRM1_SA.log statistics=none buffer=4096000
imp sa/sa@CRM2 FULL=Y file=CRM2 SA.dmp log=CRM2 SA_IMP.log statistics=none buffer=4096000
++++
Now I want to know
1.whether I should have done with statistics?
2.How to compare the statistics of 2 sa schemas in the CRM1 & CRM2 instances?
Cheers,
Kunwar

Now I want to know
1.whether I should have done with statistics?Statistics gathering can be done after the import is finished and is recommended.
2.How to compare the statistics of 2 sa schemas in the CRM1 & CRM2 instances?Not sure why you would want to do this.

How to know whether there is any change in a transaction in ic webclient

Hi,
There is one activity screen in the ic web(CRM 5.0). There is two button(Change, Save , Sendnotification) on that screen.
Sendnotification: if i click this button then it will check whether there is any change done using below logic and will send the noti..:
DATA:lv_transaction   TYPE REF TO if_bol_transaction_context,
lv_entity       TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_entity.
lv_transaction = lv_btorder->get_transaction( ).
      IF lv_transaction->check_save_needed( ) EQ 'X'.
         then save the changes and send notification
      ENDIF.
Question:
Now i clicked on the Change button and did some changes.Then saved.
Then again i did some changes, now i clicked on the Sendnotification button.It sent an notification.
Now i again clicked on the Sendnotification(this time i didnt do any changes), it sent the same notification again.
So how to know that actully changes done or not & how to write code if there is no changes?
During debugging , i found that the method check_save_needed always returns 'X' as long as i am in the chage mode of that activity. As a result if i dont do any changes also in the activity and click the button , it sends the notification.
please suggest how to restrict using coding........
Thanks

Trip to Spain. Can iPad work on Spanish wifi? Will I be able to check US email accounts a will there be any special charge? Do I need to take a special charger? Thanks.

The wifi will work just fine. There will be no charge for accessing your email from across the pond the only fee could potentially be for wifi access. The few trips I have taken to Europe I found some of the hotels charge for Internet access. Your charger that came with your iPad accepts 110-220 volts (220 is used in Europe ). All you will need is an plug adaptor for your charger and you will be good to go. You can buy the appropriate plug adaptor at any electronics store for a few $. Don't let them talk you into a transformer to change the voltage unless you will be bringing other plug in items that don't accept 220v.
One thing to be careful of is if you have a cell phone turn it off or put it into airplane mode and just turn on the wifi. Data roaming from Europe could easily cost you more that the plane tickets.
Have a good trip.

Firefox doesn't reconvert special characters in the file names when download a file with any special characters in the file name

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [/questions/815207]</blockquote><br>
if i try to download a file with any special characters in file name (e.g. File_Name.pdf), it doesn't reconvert them from the "sanitize url" process and download the file an incorrect name (e.g. File%5FName.pdf).
This is really annoying.
Thank you for your patient

There are a variety of file formats for storing and sending video. You will probably want to install VLC, which handles most open formats. RealPlayer is used on their proprietary format.

Can I use iTunes match if I am not sure whether there are any pirated songs in my library

iTunes match should work for that. I am assuming your friend gave you some music from a flash drive, and yor not sure if he/sh pirided it or not, and this is understandible. this screen shot should help. I also sugest looking into google play, which is not as convienet as far as combining with iTunes, but is free I bleive.

Find whether there is any text frame in given co-ordinates

Hi there,
I'm using adobe indesign 2.0.2 and vb 6.
I want to find whether there is any text frame existing in the given co-ordinates.
Please help.
Thanx
Robin

You need to tackle this the other way around: get references to all the text frames (on the spread, I suppose) and compare their coordinates with those of interest.
