Date columns

Hi Gurus,
I am working on Oracle 7.3.4 on Unix. I am having around 500 tables in my database and all of them are having different date formats i.e differnt column name as date format. I want to grab only the date column from the tables. Is ther any sql or pl/sql query through which I can only grab date column in the table.

Look in user_tab_columns (or all_tab_columns) for the table names and column names where the type is a date.

ADF Unable to filter / sort date column in table

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.7.
I have a read only table inside a panel collection. One of the columns in the table is a date field. I have filterable and sortable properties set to true for all columns. Filter and sort property works for all columns expect the date column. The filter and sort options is not even shown for the date field (shown below).
<af:column headerText="#{bindings.ASRTCreateRequestVO1.hints.CreationDate.label}"
                                         id="c7" sortable="true" width="100"
                                         filterable="true">
                                <af:outputText value="#{row.CreationDate}"
                                               id="ot7">
                                  <af:convertDateTime pattern="#{bindings.ASRTCreateRequestVO1.hints.CreationDate.format}"/>
                                </af:outputText>
                              </af:column>
Please let me know if I am missing anything here.
Thanks,
Ashwin

Hi Ashwin,
As mentioned by Timo, for me also the filtering is working as usual.
But while browsing through the ADF UI Guide I came across with below note
If you want to use a component other than an inputText component for your filter (for example, an inputDate component), then instead of setting filterVisible to true, you can add the needed component to the filter facet.
To do so:
1. In the Structure window, right-click the column to be filtered and choose Insert inside af:column > JSF Core > Filter facet.
2. From the Component Palette, drag and drop a component into the facet.
3. Set the value of the component to the corresponding attribute within the FilterableQueryDescriptor class created in Step 1(not above step but you can find it in pg:390). Note that the value must take into account the variable used for the row, for example:
#{af:inputDate label="Select Date" id="name" value="row.filterCriteria.date"}.
This is in the section: 12.5.1 How to Add Filtering to a Table(pg:390).
I hope it helps.

Peddi.

Date Column not getting sorted in a table in web Dynpro Java

Hi All,
I am facing an issue while sorting the date column in a table in my web dynpro java application.
When the date is displayed in the sql format in tha table, I am able to sort the date column successfully but when we convert the date field from sql format to util format in our table and then sort it does not work.
Kindly let us know the steps to be followed in this case to sort the date column of a table in Simple Date format as we do not want date in the sql format to be displayed.
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag

Hi,
You might want to check whether both your browser's language settings are identical. The browser language could also determine the date format.
As a workaround, you could add an extra attribute to your context, and set the calculated property to 'true'.
In your table, add a new column and bind to this new attribute, and hide your original date column
If you sort using the date column that's hidden now, you could use the calculated field to fixed-format your date the way you prefer (by using the SimpleDateFormatter class for instance)
Cheers,
Robin

Using MODEL clause and COUNT for not numeric data columns....

Hi ,
Is it possible somehow to use the COUNT function to transform a non-numeric data column to a numeric data value (a counter) and be used in a MODEL clause....????
For example , i tried the following in the emp table of SCOTT dataschema with no desired result...
SQL> select deptno , empno , hiredate from emp;
DEPTNO EMPNO HIREDATE
    20 7369 18/12/1980
    30 7499 20/02/1981
    30 7521 22/02/1981
    20 7566 02/04/1981
    30 7654 28/09/1981
    30 7698 01/05/1981
    10 7782 09/06/1981
    20 7788 18/04/1987
    10 7839 17/11/1981
    30 7844 08/09/1981
    20 7876 21/05/1987
    30 7900 03/12/1981
    20 7902 03/12/1981
    10 7934 23/01/1982
14 rows selected Now , i want to use the MODEL clause in order to 'predict' the number of employees who were going to be hired in the 1990 per deptno...
So , i have constructed the following query which , as expected, does not return the desired results....
SQL>   select deptno , month , year , count_
2    from
3    (
4    select deptno , to_number(to_char(hiredate,'mm')) month ,
5                to_number(to_char(hiredate , 'rrrr')) year , count(ename) count_
6    from emp
7    group by deptno , to_number(to_char(hiredate,'mm')) ,
8                to_number(to_char(hiredate , 'rrrr'))
9    )
10    model
11    partition by(deptno)
12    dimension by (month , year)

14    (
15     count_[1,1990]=count_[1,1982]+count_[11,1982]
16    )
17 /
    DEPTNO      MONTH       YEAR     COUNT_
        30          5       1981          1
        30         12       1981          1
        30          2       1981          2
        30          9       1981          2
        30          1       1990
        20          4       1987          1
        20          5       1987          1
        20          4       1981          1
        20         12       1981          1
        20         12       1980          1
        20          1       1990
        10          6       1981          1
        10         11       1981          1
        10          1       1982          1
        10          1       1990 As you see , the measures for the 1990 year is null...because the measure(the count(deptno)) is computed via the group by and not by the MODEL clause...
How should i transform the above query... so as the "count_[1,1982]+count_[11,1982]" will return non-null results per deptno...????
Thanks , a lot

How to get date prompts from one date column

i have a requirement where i have to filter the data between two date prompts. i have only one date column and the date in the prompts shuld be selected by calendar.
i have seen may approaches to do this and i got one where two dummy date columns should be declared in repository and used to define the date prompts.
but using other methods i could not get the calendar option in prompt.
but is there any other way to get the prompts with calndar selection without defining the dummy columns in repository
thanks

you can do that first select the date column you want to use in dashboard prompt then select another column and in the dashboard prompts then open the fx of the date prompt you first selected copy that and paste it in the second column and in the control section click on calender it will work you can use same date column as two prompts with out creating new column.

I have downloaded and installed the latest version of numbers on my mac. Everytime I save and then try to reopen that document, I receive a message telling me that I need a new version of numbers. Also, when I try to sort the date column, it sorts out of order. The last version sorted fine.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you install the new iWork version, the old iWork version is kept, so it looks like you are opening your old version.
To fix this, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and drag the new Numbers version to the Dock, so you can access to it quickly. Open all documents from this version. I don't recommend you to delete the old Numbers version in case you need it.
Respecting to the second question, you will get better answers in the Numbers for OS X forum

How to load data into Planning/Essbase from multiple data column

Dear All,
I have a interface file which contains multiple data column as follows.
Year,Department,Account,Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dec
FY10,Department1,Account1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
FY10,Department2,Account1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
FY10,Department3,Account1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
I created a data rule to load these interface file.
I want to use ODI to upload this interface. I try to specify the rule name in ODI and run the interface.
But, it came out following errors.
2010-02-22 11:40:25,609 DEBUG [DwgCmdExecutionThread]: Error occured in sending record chunk...Cannot end dataload. Analytic Server Error(1003014): Unknown Member [FY09,032003,910201,99,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0] in Data Load, [1] Records Completed
Any idea to fix the column, I sure the member name is correct as I can load data from data load rule correctly.
Thanks

Dear John,
I updated the data load rule delimter to "," and found different error message as follows.
'A910201.99','HSP_InputValue','HKDepart','No_WT','032003','NO_Lease','FY09','Actual','Final','Local','0','0','0','0','0','0','0','0','0','0','0','0','Cannot end dataload. Analytic Server Error(1003014): Unknown Member [0] in Data Load, [1] Records Completed'
It seems that the data load rule can recognize the some member except the figures of Jan to Dec..
thanks for your help

XML Publisher - Dynamic Data Columns Issue

Hi,
I am creating a amortization report where I need to show the amortization schedule for unearned revenue. Customers have signed different years of contract and I need to show the amount as per their remaining contract months. So if there are 2 month remaining in the contract then I should show the data for 2 months only and if there are 10 months then I should display 10 months. If we run the report for both customers then it should display two lines in report. For first customer the data should be only for 2 months and for second row(customer) there should be data for next 10 months. These months should be columns in the report(like excel columns, not rows). I need to display all months in columns instead of rows.
I have acheived that using Dynamic Data Columns as mentioned in the user guide. Everything is working fine except following issues -
1. How to create page level total?_
I have created page total in my template using <?add-page-total:TOTUREV;'UREV'?> and displaying using <?show-page-total:TOTUREV?> but when I run the report in excel format these page total do not display. These columns are static columns not dynamic.
If I run the report in pdf format then the static column total is displayed correctly.
2. When I run the report in excel format then report run fine and it shows all the columns properly but if I run the report in pdf format then the dynamic column are not displayed in their own columns, all the columns are overwriting each other in a single columns itself, its not expanding.
3. How do I get the total for the dynamic columns?_
I need to display the page level total for the dynamic columns also, how do I do that?
4. When I run the report in excel format the 2 decimal places of the numbers are gone(it works fine in pdf output), like 12.50 becomes 12.5 and 14.00 becomes 14. I need to maintain those 2 decimal places. I have tried using <fo:bidi-override direction="ltr" unicode-bidi="bidi-override"><?format-number:CVALUE;'999999D99'?></fo:bidi-override> but this does not solve my problem completely. It shows the values correctly in excel but then I am not able to do any calculation on those columns, looks like it converts them to text values.
Any help is really appreicated. Please let me know if you need the xml template and data file.
Regards
Hitesh

Hi Hitesh,
Can you please upload your RTF and XML template file? I will try to spend sometime on this issue.
Cheers

How can i change the Format of my DATE column?

I need to change the date format for a whole column. At present i can do MM-DD-YYYY. I need to change this this to DD-MMM-YYYY.
I know about the to_date function, i tried to apply it to change the format of my whole column by doing the following.....
CREATE TABLE "IT220_DATEHOLIDAY"
"DEPARTID" VarChar(2)NOT NULL ENABLE,
"HOLCODE" VARCHAR2(2)NOT NULL ENABLE,
"DEPARDATE" DATE,
to_date('DATE','DD-MMM-YYYY'), <<<change DATE column to DD-MMM-YYYY
CONSTRAINT "DATEHOLIDAY_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("DEPARTID") ENABLE
ORA-00902: invalid datatype <<<<This was the error message i received.
I am aware that the to_date function is supposed to be used to change strings into a certain format. I guess this means you cant do it with columns? Is there anyway i can format the whole column or do i have to do each string of data entered one by one?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Jay,
I'm not sure you hit the right forum, as this doesn't seem to be a problem with APEX.
Anyway:
You can't use that function on a table like that, and as you already suggested, the to_date-function expects a string value.
It seems you also have a misunderstanding of the basic datatypes in the database. DATE is such a datatype and is stored an internal format you don't need to care about. Each time your request the value, the database will give you a string representation according to either your locale or you give a certain formatting mask.
The same applies to insert or update operations: you hand in either a variable of type DATE or use a function like to_date to create an "object" of type date.
You may be interested in reading the documentation of the [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16508/toc.htm]Oracle Database Concepts. The section concerning datatype DATE can be found here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16508/tablecls.htm#CBBGJHJC
An overview of formatting options can be found here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17118/sql_elements004.htm#SQLRF00212
So to answer your question: You would format it as part of your insert operation, taking a string and convert it using to_date.

But when I use this custom format and try to save the report in 11g its giving this below error.
''Catalog object privilege validation failed for user to path /shared/ALM BI/Finacial Results/History Income Statement Detail.
You do not currently have sufficient privileges to save a report or dashboard page that contains HTML markup.
This HTML might be present in column headings, table headings, text views, narrative views, the print header,
or the print footer and must be removed before saving.''
Please let me know what changes I need to do for this.
Regards,
Ambika Nanda.

How do I select a date column and display the millesecond along with it.

I am trying to select a date column from database and want to
display millesecond with it. How do I do this. I am aware of
the "alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'MM/DD/YY HH:MI:SS'"
command. However, I do not know how to display this with the
millesecond.
Thanks for all the help.

Example:
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE JAVA SOURCE
2 NAMED "MyTimestamp"
3 AS
4 import java.lang.String;
5 import java.sql.Timestamp;
6
7 public class MyTimestamp
8 {
9 public static String getTimestamp()
10   {
11   return (new
12   Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis())).toString();
13   }
14   };
15 /
Java created.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION my_timestamp
2    RETURN VARCHAR2
3 AS LANGUAGE JAVA
4 NAME 'MyTimestamp.getTimestamp() return java.lang.String';
5 /
Function created.
SQL> CREATE TABLE test_time
2    (date_col VARCHAR2 (23))
3 /
Table created.
SQL> INSERT INTO test_time (date_col)
2 SELECT my_timestamp
3 FROM   dual
4 /
1 row created.
SQL> SELECT date_col
2 FROM   test_time

Addition of days to date column in OBIEE

Hi Gurus,
I have one date column, Alert date and based on this column I need to create another date column say, Due date.The formula will be like,
Due date = Alert date + 30days. I found a function,TimeStampAdd while editing the column formula but not sure as how to use it. Pls help me to implement this.
Thanks in advance.

Timestampadd(sql_tsi_day,30,alertdate)
TIMESTAMPADD(interval, intExpr, timestamp)
e.g:timestampadd (SQL_TSI_DAY, 3, TIMESTAMP'2000-02-27 14:30:00')

SUB Totals within a Dynamic Data Column

Has anyone ever calculated SUB Totals in a Layout with a Dynamic Data Column?
The TOTAL for all data is expressed on the Data Column tab of the Layout as C(1):C(1) - 0FISCPER / Posting Period is the Dynamic Characteristic. When the system actually displays the 12 columns of data for the Year, the formula for TOTAL is also adjusted - no problem here. But the user also wants SUB Totals, by Quarter, within the Year.
Any insight or suggections are appreciated !
Thanks,
Lyle

Hello,
use variables Q1, ..., Q4 for the quarters and create
data colums as follows
1 Q1 dynamic = X
2 Total C(1)
3 Q2 dynamic = X
4 Total C(3)
5 Q3 dynamic = X
6 Total C(5)
7 Q4 dynamic = X
8 Total C(7)
9 Year Total C(2)C(4)C(6)+C(8)
