How to add a new column (Project Number) in the action items table under NPD Module?

There are two projects with same name and created by same person in NPD.
So when it is displayed in "Action Items" table, It looks similar.
To avoid this, I need one more column (Project Number) to be added in the "Action Items" table and " Strategic briefs and projects" table.

Select query to select a column named NUMBER

Hi all,
I have a table which is having a COLUMN NAME as NUMBER whose DATA TYPE is VARCHAR2(90 BYTE).
How should I select the column named NUMBER.
I am trying the sql query through SQL Developer.
I tried with following options.
1) select NUMBER from table_name
2) select [NUMBER] from table_name
3) select "NUMBER" from table_name
4) select [table_name.NUMBER] from table_name
But i did'nt succeed through the above queries. all the above queries are giving error.
So, please help me in this regard to query the column named NUMBER (which is a reserved word in Oracle)

Hi,
create table x3(
"number" varchar2(200)
insert into x3 values(2);
insert into x3 values(2);
insert into x3 values(1);
select * from x3
where "number" = '1'
This gives me output properly. But when i tried creating a column just with name "NUMBER"... got below error. Your 2nd query looks ok. What error do you get there?
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
00904. 00000 - "%s: invalid identifier"

ODI 10g: NUMBER column becomes NUMBER(22,0) on reverse

ODI Version: 10.1.3.6.3
Database Version: Oracle 10g (also seen in XE)
In the database, one of the columns in the table is defined as "num_val NUMBER". It has been defined this way to accomodate for decimals also. However, when I reverse this to my ODI model using the "Selective Reverse" the column gets created as "num_val NUMBER(22, 0)" due to which the decimals have got truncated.
I would like to know if this is an ODI bug (if yes, please point me to the patch) or the developer is expected to manually look and correct this in the ODI model ?
In Oracle database, defining a number column without precision & scale would designate maximum precision & scale to the column. I would expect that ODI should be aware of this during model reverse and create the column with maximum range as it exists in the Oracle database.

Hi,
Good to know ur problem is solved.
Yes as i said, RDBMS reversing can be carried out by Standard method but in some cases ODI and JDBC drivers compatibility doesn't pull certain tables/views/data types etc and MOS declare it as a BUG.
So in those cases its suggested/advised to use RKM mode of reversing as a "work around" option.
But in general real time scenario RKM, is dedicated to reverse the meta data of adapters applications say Hyperion, essbase,planning, HFM etc and standard for any ANSI SQL/RDBMS applications.
Makes sense?

JTable Column Max Number Doubt

Hello there,
I have this JTable Doubt. I have always been strugling with jtables and here I am stuck again and not able to do this.
My Database has defined a column that accepts a String Number. It can have upto 4 decimals and 2 fractional Numbers. So thats a total of 6 digits with a contraint as mentioned above.
I can have user input as 9999.99 and not 99999.9
Could you please tell me how I could have one of my JTables column to accept only input like this.
Regards,
Hemanth

It is not clear to me whether you are talking about rendering or editing.

Impact of table columns with number datatype but has no precision in Forms

Hi.
Currently, I have table columns that have a data type of number but has no precision declared (e.g. AGREEMENT_CODE NUMBER). I would just like to ask if there's anyone out there who knows if this has a negative impact on Oracle's forms and reports...with the way buffer memories are allocated or other things on performance. I am still putting in maximum length values for base table items. I don't know if this will affect buffer memory allocation as well.
Thank you.

I don't know this for fact, but I would think that numbers with a large number of significant figures might affect buffer sizes, but I'll bet your example AGREEMENT_CODE values would never have a large number of figures. In fact, whether or not you limit the size of a number in the database or your form probably does not affect the way the actual data values are transmitted or stored.
If someone is telling you to worry about this, I think they are barking up the wrong tree someplace way out in left field.
There are so many other things that can seriously affect processing speed and data transfer speed, starting with query plans and index usage. I have never heard this one causing concern anywhere before.

How do I locate column/row (number) selected in applescript

I require a simple script to adjust the column widths of the current selected column only. I want to base it on a script below which I found on the internet. This script adjusts multiple column widths to the value input and adjusts the stub column to the remaining space. I would like to know how easy it is to create a script with a similar input window that adjusts the column/row selected leaving the others in tact.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"

Sorting Columns in Number 09

Hi,
i found no way to sort columns in Numbers 09 - i can only sort rows.
I can only rearrange columns with dragging but not automatically sort.
I think this should be a standard funktion like in other Programs like Open Office - but i'm searching and searching and doesn't find this function in Numbers?
Has anybody an idea how I can sort columns in Numbers 09?

Michael,
You're correct, there is no way in Numbers to sort columns. It's something that you need to keep in mind as you design your layout. My copy of Excel, Office 2004 for Mac, doesn't seem to allow sorting by columns either. Sort by column content, yes; sort by row content, no.
The Numbers way is the conventional way. The only solution that i can think of, beyond the manual re-ordering of columns that you mention, would be to transpose the entire table such that your rows turn into columns and columns into rows. Then you can sort by column and if you wish, transpose back to where you started.

Rows to columns, dynamic number of rows.

Hi all,
I want to make a query over an oracle database version 10.2.0.4.0 but I'm unable to find a way to do it.
Next I have an example of what I need to do:
account     gadget
111        iphone
111        ipad
111        nokia

222        nokia
333        pencil
444        pen drive
444        nokiaI need to get the follow output:
account     gadget
111        iphone|ipad|nokia|pencil
222        hard drive|iphone|nokia
333        pencil
444        pen drive|nokiaI tried the following diferent queries based on examples I tried to understand:
select account, Cursor(select gadjet from user_gadgets e2 where e2.account = user_gadgets.account)
from (select distinct account from user_gadgets ) user_gadgets;
SELECT account, CAST(MULTISET(SELECT account FROM user_gadgets e
WHERE contrno = e.contrno) AS
varchar2_table_t) FROM user_gadgets e GROUP BY account;
select
account
,sum(case when account = 'iphone'     then 'iphone' end) as IPHONE
from crm_user_equipments@dbl_tabsdmx
group by
accountI was unable to make the first two to work and The third one cannot be applied because I have a dynamic list.
The third options cannot be applied because both columns: account contains thousands of distinct values and gadget contains near 80 diferent items and it is changing.
thanks and regards,

Well clearly you didn't read any of the links given as you've marked correct the one solution that will perform the worst due to context switching between the SQL and PL/SQL engines.
Your requirement can be achieved simply using SQL alone...

Procedure with variable number of columns

Hi, I have a procedure that looks like this:
PROCEDURE PROC(p_cursor OUT sys_refcursor)
And in the procedure, I build up QUERY dynamically and the number of columns varies at runtime.
At the end I do
OPEN p_cursor for QUERY
Then to call this, I'm doing
call PROC(?)
My question is, how would I go about running the query from this procedure, then adding rows or modifying the existing results, then returning the modified data?
What I want to do is add a new row based on some condition, so I still need to return a variable number of columns, but I need to modify the results before I return them.
Is there any way of doing this? I need to do some calculations on the columns (the variable columns), create a new row, insert into result set, and return this new result set.

A sys_refcursor is ideally suited to pass back to a front end gui like .NET or Java which can then use that cursor to retrieve the data.
In PL/SQL there is no point in using a sys_refcursor unless you know, at design/compile time what the returned columns are going to be.
If the resultant columns are dynamic, then you have no choice but to use the DBMS_SQL package, where you can parse and execute any SQL statement you like and then use the DBMS_SQL package to describe what the resultant columns are and how many there are. From that you can reference the columns by position rather than by name.
e.g.

SQL>In 11g, you can create a sys_refcursor and then the DBMS_SQL package allows you to convert that refcursor into a DBMS_SQL cursor so that you can get the description of the results and do the same. This isn't available prior to 11g though.
However_ before any of that, you should really ask yourself if there is a real need to dynamically be creating queries. There is rarely any real need to do that and if you're finding it's common in your application then this is often a sign of poor design or poorly defined business requirements (leaving the technical side to try and be "flexible" and hence leading to unmaintainable code etc.).

Like operator issue with on Number column

Hi,
Query with like operator for Example: " where RATE LIKE ('%2%')"
the result of the query returns rows which contains "2" as part of field value along with few rows which are updated recently, but do not contain 2 in that row.
In the table data type of COLUMN is Number, no precision.
Pls let me know if any one knows about this.

Can you please post the result of the query you are using?

Dynamic Number Of Data Columns

Greetings - I'm attempting to create a report that has a dynamic number of columns. The type of data in the columns varies (number, string), and I need the details to display, not a summary.
If I knew the max number of columns I'm sure I could figure out some logic to make it work, but that is not the case.
Data example:
Row 1: Name Timestamp Country Height ...
Row 2: Name Timestamp Country Weight ....
Desired report:
Hdr1-Hdr2Hdr 3-Height---Weight
Name Timestamp Country Height <blank>
Name Timestamp Country <blank> Weight
There may be a solution in a cross-tab but I will need the Name, Timestamp, Country in separate columns as this may be output as CSV.
Any assistance will be appreciated.

Generally, when you don't know the number of columns, a cross-tab is the way to go.
You can get the first three column that you stated by putting all three fields in the Rows section of the Crosstab Expert.
As for the data returned from the database, you'll want the three row fields, a "value name" field (containing value such as "Weight" and "Height"), and then a Value column with the value of the "value name" field.
HTH,
Carl
