Checking for an empty query

Hi guys,
I wanted to know if it was possible to check a query to see
if it is empty or not (or if the value comes out to be true or
false). I hope I'm understandable.
Would I use a IsBoolean or IsVaild function?

Typically, you can check the query.RecordCount to see if it
contains one or more.
<cfquery name="qTest" datasource="dsn">
select * from mytable
</cfquery>
<cfif qTest.RecordCount GTE 1>
//code
</cfif>
As long as the query itself does not fail (error, exception,
etc.), you will get a query variable back and can test it's record
count.
If there is a concern that the query might fail (perhaps the
SQL is dynamic in some way), you can use cftry/cfcatch to ensure
that, at the least, you get back an empty query:
<cftry>
<cfquery name="qTest" datasource="dsn">
select * from mytable
</cfquery>
<cfcatch type="database">
<cfset qTest = QueryNew("column1,column2")/>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
<cfif qTest.RecordCount GTE 1>
//code
</cfif>
Hope this helps...

Advanced search for a price range while checking for an empty values using php in DW

I am creating an advanced search with DW php. I would like to submit a search where some entrys can be left black. So checking for empty values (which I have managed, thank you David Powel), however when searching between multiple price ranges does not seem to work.

I would be greatfull for any help

I have managed to solve the problem.
In the end I didn't check if the values were empty, as it worked fine without. However the switch of the price didn't work in combination with the rest of the query.
I've solved the problem as follows:
$varCategory_rsgetsearch2 = "%";
if (isset($_GET['Category'])) {
$varCategory_rsgetsearch2 = $_GET['Category'];
$varMake_rsgetsearch2 = "%";
if (isset($_GET['Manufacturer'])) {
$varMake_rsgetsearch2 = $_GET['Manufacturer'];
$varColor_rsgetsearch2 = "%";
if (isset($_GET['Color'])) {
$varColor_rsgetsearch2 = $_GET['Color'];
$varPrice_rsgetsearch2 = "%";
if (isset($_GET['Keysound_price'])) {
$varPrice_rsgetsearch2 = $_GET['price'];
mysql_select_db($database_dBconn, $dBconn);
$query_rsgetsearch2 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM products WHERE Category LIKE %s AND products.Manufacturer LIKE %s AND products.Color LIKE %s", GetSQLValueString("%" . $varCategory_rsgetsearch2 . "%", "text"),GetSQLValueString("%" . $varMake_rsgetsearch2 . "%", "text"),GetSQLValueString("%" . $varColor_rsgetsearch2 . "%", "text") );
switch( $_GET['price'] ){
        case '0-500':
        $query_rsgetsearch2 .= ' AND price BETWEEN 0 AND 500 ORDER BY price ASC';
        break;
          case '500-1000':
        $query_rsgetsearch2 .= ' AND price BETWEEN 500 AND 1000 ORDER BYprice ASC';
        break;
                    case '1000-2000':
        $query_rsgetsearch2 .= ' AND price BETWEEN 1000 AND 2000 ORDER BY price ASC';
        break;

I'm sure that you can keep the checking for values in, however for me the was no need for it anymore.
Thanks for all your help

Availability check for std SD query.

Hi,
I need 4 SD report (either STD/Custom) with the following requirement.
Please suggest if there any STD SD query available for the same and where I can check?
1) Report for top 10 customers based on Inquiry/Order
2) Report on top sectors/Divisions based on Inquiry/Order
3) Time taken in conversion from Inquiry to Quotation
4) Time taken in conversion from Quotation to Inquiry
Thanks in advance.

You can check similar standard queries for SD and you can make copy of queries customize accordingly

Checking For An Empty Value

Here's my script:
on run
set AdiumStatus to ""
set AdiumStatusType to ""
tell application "System Events"
count (every process whose name is "Adium")
if result = 1 then
tell application "Adium"
if my status type is available then
set AdiumStatusType to "Available. "
else if my status type is away then
set AdiumStatusType to "Away. "
else if my status type is offline then
set AdiumStatusType to "Offline. "
else if my status type is invisible then
set AdiumStatusType to "Invisible. "
end if
set AdiumStatus to (get my status message)
end tell
end if
end tell
return AdiumStatusType & AdiumStatus
end run
If the user hasn't set a custom message status, the script fails when trying to return "AdiumStatus." How can set the script to where if "my message status" is empty, an empty space is added so it doesn't fail? I tried the following to no avail:
If my status message is not "" then
set AdiumStatus to (get my status message)
end if
But this fails, saying "No result was returned from some part of this expression," and the quotes are highlighted.
Any ideas? And how do I format code I post here, BTW?
Thanks!

Nothing at all? Wow, that's pretty impressive. You would appear to be dealing with a broken AppleScript implementation, there; when you request something that doesn't exist, most programs tend to treat that as, you know, an error or something, or at least return the "missing value" value. Returning something that undefines an existing variable isn't reasonable behavior. (Time to file a bug report, methinks.)
One way or another, you're going to have to work around this. Given your result, there, it looks like kel's workaround is the way to go. To put it in the terms of your variables:
tell application "Adium"
set AdiumStatus to my status message
end tell
try
AdiumStatus
on error
set AdiumStatus to missing value
end try
That will give you the status message if it exists, and give you the missing value otherwise. (Which, as I have said, is useful -- when it is time to do something with the result, you can test for it and tell whether the value was set. If you just use an empty string, or some other specific value, then you can't be sure that someone didn't actually set the value to that specific value...) That would look something like this:
if AdiumStatus is missing value then
display dialog "No status message was set."
else
display dialog "The status message was: " & AdiumStatus
end if
The only other workaround which occurs to me would be to rely on the "exists" keyword, as in
if exists my status message then
set AdiumStatus to my status message
else
set AdiumStatus to missing value
end if
but if the application's implementation is already broken enough to return a complete blank without comment, there's no reason to believe it will handle "exists" properly, either.

Check for null and empty - Arraylist

Hello all,
Can anyone tell me the best procedure to check for null and empty for an arraylist in a jsp using JSTL. I'm trying something like this;
<c:if test="${!empty sampleList}">
</c:if>
Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Greeshma...

A null check might not be you best option. If your requirement is you must have both the date and time component supplied in order to populate EventDate, then I would use a Script Functoid that takes data and time as parameters.
In the C# method, first check if either is an empty string, if so return an empty string.
If not, TryParse the data, if successful, return a valid data string for EventDate. If not, error or return empty string, whichever satsifies the requirement.

Check for null or empty in the functoid

I want to check for null and empty values on input source node. If there exists a null or empty in the input source node, I should not pass that to output destination node. Does the
following attachment work? I want to check for null or empty in the date and time and then concatenate them to send to output. If any of them is null or empty, the other should not fail. In the Not Equal Functoid I am checking for blank, but how to check for
null?

Check for empty visa resource?

When I am developing the VI at my desk and not a the test station PC, the VISA resource name is empty.
Once the VI is moved to the test station PC, the user can select a VXI board.
How do I make sure the user has selected a VISA resource before continuing?
I can wire a Comparision to check for Empty String, and that works. But is there any method that I should use?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Additionally, you can limit the selectable items by interface type. Right-click VISA Resource Name Control and select I/O Name Filtering.

Query to check for DB created

Hi all,
How can I query in DB to check for all database created? As well as the size of each DB?
Thanks.

Hi,
mitchel-->by quering v$database will show u the creation data of database but what if the database was migrated or rebuild?? the date will change..So i do not trust this.
How can I query in DB to check for all database created? As well as the size of each DB?How can u query from a database and know when all the databases on the server were created?And how can u know the sizes of all the database bases from one database?I think we cannot do that
From query u can find out the output of the same database by cheacking system tablespace creation date with the below query
select fn.fnnam
, fe.FECRC_tim
from x$kccfe fe
, x$kccfn fn
where fe.fedup!=0
and fe.indx+1=fn.fnfno
and fn.fnnam is not null
and fn.fnnam = '&Filename'
And for the database size query dba_data_files and v$logfile.

Check for empty session variable

Hey there we're making a login for our jsp web application.
The login allready works and so does the log out but now we want to make a check to make it impossible to login with names that are not in the database.
So what basicly happens is as follows...
Login reads the database info:
while (rs.next()) {
     if (request.getParameter("username").equals(rs.getString("username")) && request.getParameter("password").equals(rs.getString("password"))){
          session.setAttribute("username", rs.getString("username"));
          session.setAttribute("firstname", rs.getString("first_name"));
          session.setAttribute("lastname", rs.getString("last_name"));
}but when you enter invalid information teh session variabe "lastname" for example should read null. Now we want to make a check for this null value, which should look something like this:
if(session.getAttribute("username").equals(null)){
     response.setStatus(301);
     response.setHeader("Location", "/index.jsp");
} else {
     response.setStatus(301);
     response.setHeader("Location", "/mainmenu.jsp");
}But this doesnt work, it just logs in with the null values... any1 got a clue??
edit: im actually looking for something like the isSet command in PHP to give an idea...

Your test for null will always fail, because request.getParameter("username") is NEVER null, in that it exists, even though it contains no data.
Try .equals(""); instead.

Empty space check for text box

i need to verify null check for textbox fields and it sould not allow spaces as well.... is there any way like trim functions.. please help me..
Already tried with JavaScript's trim() and not working... I'm using es3

Hello and welcome to the forum,
You do not tell which version you are using? And I suppose you are talking about a Text Entry Box?
If you want to check if the right text is entered, you'll have to tick 'Validate User Input' in the General accordion of the TEB Properties panel.
A HUD will appear under the TEB, labeled Correct Entries. With the + button you can add correct values (text that is correct when the TEB is validated), eventually check the 'Case Sensitive' option.
In the Options accordion you can check the captions to appear (like for a button or a click box).
When the user clicks the Submit button or uses the shortcut key for the TEB, one of two actions (Action accordion) will be performed:
Success: if the text was correct, you can choose there for 'Go to Next Slide'
Last Attempt after the attempts are exhausted

Best practice for a same query against 2 different tables

Hello all,
I want to extract info about tablespaces storage, both permanent and temporary. For that I use 2 different cursors that do exactly the same query but against a different table (dba_data_files and dba_temp_files).
CURSOR permanentTBSStorageInfo (tablespaceName VARCHAR2) IS
SELECT file_name, bytes, autoextensible, maxbytes, increment_by
FROM dba_data_files
WHERE tablespace_name = tablespaceName;
CURSOR temporaryTBSStorageInfo (tablespaceName VARCHAR2) IS
SELECT file_name, bytes, autoextensible, maxbytes, increment_by
FROM dba_temp_files
WHERE tablespace_name = tablespaceName;
First I'm bothered that I have to use 2 cursors to execute the same query against 2 different tables. Is there no another way around?
Then I fetch the results of this cursors in 2 different loops because I didn't find a way to dynamically call the cursors. I am looking for best practice here, knowing that I will do the same parsing against the results of the 2 cursors.
Thank you,

Hi
Check whether the below query is helpful or not
select      fs.tablespace_name "Tablespace",
     fs.tempspace "Temp MB",

     tablespace_name,
     round(sum(bytes) / 1048576) TotalSpace

     tablespace_name
     ) df,
     (select

How can i check for posted but not yet commited changes in a form

Dears
I make changes programmatically in a form then i post it using (Post built in).
If the user exits the form, i make check for any changes in the form to commit it using the system variable :system.form_status
Unfortunately the value of this system variable is 'Query' not 'Changed' because of using the post built in.
Is ther another system variable ( or any another way ) that check for posted but not yet commited changes in the form ?
Thanks a lot
Mostafa Abolaynain

I had faced similar situation. Using of package variable which identifies, what is the user's latest action.
This is just a workaround.
Capture what the user has performed into a variable say, PKG_VAR.ACTION,
This will be assigned values like List L, and Create C, Update U and Saved S.
If commit is executed,assing the status S to the variable.
So while closing,
IF :system.form_status = 'CHANGED' or PKG_VAR.ACTION in ('C','U') THEN
-- validate the data, n perform commit.
else
-- just close the form.
end if;

SQLLDR - how to set a default value for an empty string

I'm using SQLLDR to load data from a flat file on Oracle 10g 10.2.0.4 EE, Linux RHEL 4 update 6. Seems like my question is simple, but darned if I can't find the solution.
My source file (comma delimited extracted form a different RDBMS) has some (not all) rows where the output for a string is "", and not NULL. How do I check for empty string and add a default value in the control file? The target column is non-nullable
Here's my current control file - however, the column attributeName where sometimes the source record is "" does not get evaluated as NULL.
load data
infile 'mydata.del'
badfile 'mydata.bad'
discardfile 'mydata.dsc'
into table mydata
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
   TRAILING NULLCOLS
(l_metadata,
company,
className,
attributeName "decode(:vc_attributeName,null, 'none')",
attributeDefault)
{code}
When I tried decode with "", I received the following error:
{code}SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 11.
Expecting "," or ")", found ", 'none')".
attributeName "decode(:vc_attributeName,"", 'none')", {code}
This does not work either:

How does APEX check for null values in Text Fields on the forms?

Hello all,
How does APEX check for null values in Text Fields on the forms? This might sound trivial but I have a problem with a PL/SQL Validation that I have written.
I have one select list (P108_CLUSTER_ID) and one Text field (P108_PRIVATE_IP). I made P108_CLUSTER_ID to return null value when nothing is selected and assumed P108_PRIVATE_IP to return null value too when nothign is entered in the text field.
All that I need is to validate if P108_PRIVATE_IP is entered when a P108_CLUSTER_ID is selected. i.e it is mandatory to enter Private IP when a cluster is seelcted and following is my Pl/SQL code
Declare
v_valid boolean;
Begin
IF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NULL THEN
v_valid := TRUE;
ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NOT NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NOT NULL THEN
v_valid := TRUE;
ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NOT NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NULL THEN
v_valid := FALSE;
ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NOT NULL THEN
v_valid := FALSE;
END IF;
return v_valid;
END;
My problem is it is returning FALSE for all the cases.It works fine in SQL Command though..When I tried to Debug and use Firebug, I found that Text fields are not stored a null by default but as empty strings "" . Now I tried modifying my PL/SQL to check Private_IP against an empty string. But doesn't help. Can someone please tell me how I need to proceed.
Thanks

See SQL report for LIKE SEARCH I have just explained how Select list return value works..
