Comparing string in select query

Hi,
select single *
from mara
where matnr = wa-matnr.
Here matnr is char18. Can we compare string like this?
When wa-matnr is in lower case it is setting sy-subrc = 4, even though the matnr exists in mara. When converted to upper case and used it is setting sy-subrc = 0.
Is there any other solution for the problem? I have checked out with matnr's conversion routine. It is also not working.

just try dat way...
ex...
data:wa_matnr like mara-matnr.
data:wa_matnr1 like mara-matnr.
data: gv_matnr like mara-matnr.
wa_matnr = 'comptest'.
CALL FUNCTION 'TERM_TRANSLATE_TO_UPPER_CASE'
EXPORTING
 LANGU = SY-LANGU
 TEXT = wa_matnr
IMPORTING
 TEXT_UC = wa_matnr1
EXCEPTIONS
NO_LOCALE_AVAILABLE = 1
OTHERS = 2
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
select single matnr
from mara into gv_matnr
where matnr = wa_matnr or matnr = wa_matnr1.
write : gv_matnr.

How to compare dates in a select query in open sql

Hi
 How can I retrieve data pertaining to a specified date using a select query.
I have inserted date using the following code:
String dateString = "2009-03-11";
java.sql.Date date = java.sql.Date.valueOf(dateString);
PreparedStatement stmt =con.prepareStatement("insert into DATEACCESS"
 + "(DATETEST)"
 + "values (?)");
stmt.setDate(1,date);
stmt.executeUpdate();
How can I pass this in a select query,the below mentioned query did not fetch me any results.
Select * from DATEACCESS where DATETEST='2009-03-11'

Hi
Has ur date problem resolved ?
If not resolved u can do the following
As u already have sql date today declared . You want to get the data depending on that date
As ur query is
if( today != null)
String query2 = select * from DATEACCESS where DATETEST<= ?
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement(query2);
ps.setDate(1,today)
ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
While(rs.next)
 ////// Here u will get data from query u needed ///
If this also does not work just print the date and check in which format is it returning u .

How to create a select query to compare a collection via jpa?

I'm new to jpa (java persistence) and its query language.
If I've an entity named "Person" with a collection of Addresses (a one-to-manay relationahip), how do I create a Select query to get a person by using a collection of Addresses as its input parameter?
Would "SELECT p FROM Person p JOIN p.addresses = :addresses" work?

Hi,
You can try the below logic:
STATISTICS.date_reg} >= '27-may-2011' and { STATISTICS.date_reg} < ' 27-June-2011'
I guess you are trying to apply this condition.
Here in selection formula you need not to give select and from.
Cheers,

Syntax error while writing a select query.

Hi all,
I have a requirement where I have to pick a value if the text for that value is
MYCARu2019S Lovliest Car.
And so I wrote a query that
SELECT     RUECK INTO XRUECK FROM AFVC WHERE ltxa1 = ' MYCARu2019S Lovliest Car'.
                ENDSELECT.
But it gives me a syntax error saying
u201CLiterals taking up more than one line not permittedu201D.
Can some one tell me what is wrong. I need to select RUECK value from AFVC table if
ltxa1 value is ' MYCARu2019S Lovliest Car'.
Kindly help what is going wrong...
Regards,
Jessica Sam

Hi,
Narendran is right use two single quotes.
also careful wile comparing string. i think as you write ltxa1 value is ' MYCARu2019S Lovliest Car'.
so while comparing you must not use space just before staring use the following
SELECT rueck INTO xrueck FROM afvc WHERE ltxa1 = 'MYCAR''S Lovliest Car'. " Not use Space before M
ENDSELECT.
Hope will help you.
Kind Regards,
Faisal

Problem with date format in select query

Hi
I am caught by a stupid problem, please help me
I am writing a queries
SELECT * FROM VOUCHERS WHERE VDATE = '07-AUG-08'
SELECT * FROM VOUCHERS WHERE VDATE = '07-AUG-2008'.
both are working fine in SQL Developer but returning error when called from JDBC Driver.
First query doesn't return any record while it is supposed to
Second returns error: ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
What i remember, at least second query was working previously but what happend, i dont know
i didn't change Oracle default datetime format or any other defaults
Message was edited by:

It is a common issue most people don't realize what Oracle does with a query like this. You're comparing strings to dates. Use TO_DATE to convert your string '07-AUG-08' to a date. If you don't, you tell Oracle to convert the string to a date by itself. It may work sometimes but like you've experienced, it is not a very robust or elegant approach.
Try something like this:
SELECT *
FROM vouchers
WHERE VDATE = TO_DATE('07-AUG-2008','DD-MON-YYYY').You can even provide a third parameter to TO_DATE, but it's less frequently used. I let you figure it out.
And a tip: the "urgent" keyword might act against you.

Oracle 11g :SELECT query blocked..??

Hi Experts,
could you please explain why the below SQL query is blocked?
SELECT 1 FROM DUAL is blocking the SQL statement on GTTAPPUSR@gttccuatcriba04 ( SID=469 ) blocked SQL -> DELETE FROM GTTDB.PURCHASE_ENTRY_ID=:1
SELECT 1 FROM DUAL is blocking the SQL statement on GTTAPPUSR@gttccuatcriba04 ( SID=367 ) blocked SQL -> DELETE FROM GTTDB.PURCHASE_ENTRY_ID=:1
I am scratching my head without any solution when I had a look at the db today. Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Boris
Edited by: user12075620 on Dec 4, 2012 8:58 AM

The SELECT statement is not blocking the UPDATE. As I said in the previous reply, the string that this query produces does not match the logic.
This query is (at least on the surface) correctly identifying that session 1 is blocking session 2. Session 1 holds some lock that session 2 is waiting on. So far, so good. Since session 2 is waiting on the lock, we can easily enough see what session 2 is running (the UPDATE statement). But since session 1 is not blocked, it is potentially off running a ton of other SQL statements (or no SQL statement at all). The query is looking to see what session 1 is running currently. It has no way of determining what session 1 ran at some point in the past to acquire the lock in the first place.
Going back to my KING example,
At noon, session 1 runs
UPDATE emp
SET sal = sal * 2
WHERE ename = 'KING'Session 1 now has a lock on the KING row in the EMP table. But session 1 neither commits nor rolls back, it is still in a transaction. Session 1 might not have any more activity for a long time-- the user might go off to lunch, for example (obviously, applications should not be designed to allow users to maintain open transactions indefinitely, but not all applications are designed correctly). Or it might start running other queries. Let's say that session 1 now runs a query that is going to go for an hour
SELECT *
FROM giant_view_with_lots_of_computationsNow, at 12:45, session 2 comes in and runs
UPDATE emp
SET bonus = 100
WHERE ename = 'KING'Session 2 is blocked. Session 2 is running the UPDATE statement. Session 1 still holds the lock but it is running some completely unrelated SQL statement.
If we run the query you posted, the query will correctly report that session 1 is running the query against the GIANT_VIEW_WITH_LOTS_OF_COMPUTATIONS but incorrectly imply that this SELECT query is the source of the lock. It is not. It simply happens to be the query that the session that does hold the lock happens to be executing at the current moment (why the application seems to be running a lot of queries that select a constant from dual is a separate question).

Select Query resulting in Scientific Notation

Hello all,
I am running a Select query through a batch file that extracts data from an Oracle database. Several of the fields that I am extracting from contain numbers that are up to 38 digits long. When I extract the data, it converts the numbers into scientific notation and it is important for me to have the entire field. Is there something I can change to my query that will pull the data in its entire form? This is what I'm running now:
select * FROM ML.APPT where APPTDATE >= to_date('01/1/2010','mm/dd/yyyy'
I apologize in advance if this has been answered already.
Thanks!

>
When the extractor finishes, it returns the data into a flat file.
don't quite understand the TO_CHAR function. Does this function mean I need to say something like this: select "TO_CHAR('column name', 99999999999999999999999999999999999999" FROM ML.APPT where APPTDATE >= to_date('01/1/2010','mm/dd/yyyy')
>
Yes- if the tool you use to extract the data (your 'extractor') is converting the numeric data to a string then it is responsible for creating the string in the proper format. If the number is an integer that can have as many digits as you have '9's in your sample format string then that is what you need to do.
Here is how sql*plus (Oracle's tool) will display the data using default settings
SQL> select 12345678901234567890123456789012345678 no_format,
2 to_char(12345678901234567890123456789012345678, '99999999999999999999999999
999999999999') with_format
3 from dual;
NO_FORMAT WITH_FORMAT
1.2346E+37 12345678901234567890123456789012345678
SQL>
----- TOAD will display something similiar but the default uses more decimal digits in the scientific notation data
NO_FORMAT,WITH_FORMAT
1.23456789012346E37, 12345678901234567890123456789012345678You can either format the numeric data in the query using TO_CHAR or the 'extractor' can do it when it converts the data to a string.

Query in Select query operation

Please excuse me for posting this again.
I'm stuck up with this for 3 days. Lenghty post pls do read and help me.
How is the select query going to be changed in the SAP so that the original database behind it understands it. I want to know the operation of IN operation in where clause where in we can use ranges.
I'm asking this because I'm facing a problem using Native SQL.
Query is like this:
EXEC SQl.
OPEN C1 for
SELECT field1 from table@domain where field2 IN :ABAP_VAR.
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
FETCH C1 NEXT INTO :VAR1 , :VAR2
ENDEXEC.
Oracle usually recognises this statement IN ( '2222' , '3658' , '6895' )
But here this field that is build dynamically like this is not recognising them as seperate fileds but instead it is taking them as a single string and not selecting anything.
But if a single value is passed it is fetching the data into the cursor. And the code is working fine.
Any help in this is highly appreciable.

"if a in r_range" is is effectively: does the value held in 'a' comply with the values held in range 'r_range'. Ranges can hold NE, patterns etc so this can get quite complex.
You can see that it is very different from the SQL type IN.
If your range hold several values you could unstrip it into a string varaible so that it ended up having a value something like: ( '2222' , '3658' , '6895' ). Not sure if you need the '(' but it would be something like this:
eg,
assuming your range is simple and only holds 'I' and 'EQ' values:
data v_string type string.
loop at r_range.
concatenate v_string '@''' r_range-low '''@' into v_string.
endloop.
REPLACE
ALL OCCURRENCES OF '@'
IN v_string
WITH ' '.
Then you can use:
SELECT field1 from table@domain where field2 IN :v_string.

Verifying and parsing "query" in cm:select query="..." ...

I'm writting a session EJB that's passed a param (String query) which is supposed
to be any valid "query" string passed to the cm:select tag (see "http://edocs.bea.com/wlcs/docs31/p13ndev/jsptags.htm#1057716"
for more info on this tag and the query param).
My problem is this: I don't think I should write ALL the stuff to validate and
parse this string because bea has already done it in: com.beasys.commerce.foundation.expression.*;
but the only source of documentation available on those classes is the Javadoc(which
isn't that complete). Has anyone used these classes before(Search, Expression,
Criteria, Logical)? Does anyone know of some documents on how to use them?
Please help if you can. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

rajan please just google or search SDN. there are large number of post for this..
to give you a head start: for using a particular index in the select query a %_HINTS ORACLE 'INDEX clause is added

Using case when statement in the select query to create physical table

Hello,
I have a requirement where in I have to execute a case when statement with a session variable while creating a physical table using a select query. let me explain with an example.
I have a physical table based on a select table with one column.
SELECT 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.NAME_PARAMETER)' AS NAME_PARAMETER FROM DUAL. Let me call this table as the NAME_PARAMETER table.
I also have a customer table.
In my dashboard that has two pages, Page 1 contains a table with the customer table with column navigation to my second dashboard page.
In my second dashboard page I created a dashboard report based on NAME_PARAMETER table and a prompt based on customer table that sets the NAME_ PARAMETER request variable.
EXECUTION
When i click on a particular customer, the prompt sets the variable NAME_PARAMETER and the NAME_PARAMETER table shows the appropriate customer.
everything works as expected. YE!!
Now i created another table called NAME_PARAMETER1 with a little modification to the earlier table. the query is as follows.
SELECT CASE WHEN 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.NAME_PARAMETER)'='Customer 1' THEN 'TEST_MART1' ELSE TEST_MART2' END AS NAME_PARAMETER
FROM DUAL
Now I pull in this table into the second dashboard page along with the NAME_PARAMETER table report.
surprisingly, NAME_PARAMETER table report executes as is, but the other report based on the NAME_PARAMETER1 table fails with the following error.
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: S1000 code: 1756 message: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated. [nQSError: 16014] SQL statement preparation failed. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SET VARIABLE NAME_PARAMETER='Novartis';SELECT NAME_PARAMETER.NAME_PARAMETER saw_0 FROM POC_ONE_DOT_TWO ORDER BY saw_0
If anyone has any explanation to this error and how we can achieve the same, please help.
Thanks.

Hello,
Updates :) sorry.. the error was a stupid one.. I resolved and I got stuck at my next step.
I am creating a physical table using a select query. But I am trying to obtain the name of the table dynamically.
Here is what I am trying to do. the select query of the physical table is as follows.
SELECT CUSTOMER_ID AS CUSTOMER_ID, CUSTOMER_NAME AS CUSTOMER_NAME FROM 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.SCHEMA_NAME)'.CUSTOMER.
The idea behind this is to obtain the data from the same table from different schemas dynamically based on what a session variable. Please let me know if there is a way to achieve this, if not please let me know if this can be achieved in any other method in OBIEE.
Thanks.

How to get number of rows return in SELECT query

i'm very new in java, i have a question:
- How to get number of rows return in SELECT query?
(i use SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC and everything are done, i only want to know problems above)
Thanks.

make the result set scroll insensitve, do rs.last(), get the row num, and call rs.beforeFirst(), then you can process the result set like you currently do.
         String sql = "select * from testing";
         PreparedStatement ps =
          con.prepareStatement(sql,ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
         ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
         rs.last();
         System.out.println("Row count = " + rs.getRow());
         rs.beforeFirst();~Tim
NOTE: Ugly, but does the trick.
