Date Data Type in Oracle

Hi,
My SQL Query is:
select RECORD_CREATED_DATE FROM ITEM_DETAIL WHERE BARCODE = '09010001638001';
This gives me the result:
29-APR-08
How do I retrieve date with complete year. Is there some conversion done by Oracle when I do the select or this is how it must be stored in the table?
Thanks in advance,
Raja

select TO_CHAR(RECORD_CREATED_DATE,'DD/MM/YYYY') FROM ITEM_DETAIL WHERE BARCODE = '09010001638001';

How to Update Date data type field value in oracle

I want to update records in a table that has a Date data type field. It's a oracle databse. I use the oracle thin drive to connect to the database. The everything works well, only when i try to update records that have date type value, something doesn't work.
I use the following stmt to update DB:
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
Conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:portnumber:schname", "uid","pwd");
stmt=Conn.createStatement();
String updStr = "UPDATE Article SET Archive = ' Disable' WHERE ArticleDate = # " + sqlDate +"# " ;
stmt.executeUpdate( updAStr ) ;
But I always got the SQLException run time error, which is "ORA-00911: invalid character"
Who can help me to find out how to write the above Update statement correctly? esp. that how to present the Date type variable in the statement.!
BTW, sqlDate is a Java.sql.Date variable, Is it "# " + sqlDate + "# " the right way?
Many thanks

What do you get out of Oracle's TO_DATE that java.sql.PreparedStatement.setDate()
won't give you? - MODWell, I don't know that I've used all capabilities of either, but when it comes to managing Date Strings my Oracle bias :) would be to code using Oracle's TO_CHAR and TO_DATE functions. Perhaps someone can tell me vendor neutral ways to do something simiilar to managing these input date/times (and hopefully just as easily, pretty much all done in a single line, single function)?
WHERE aDATE > TO_DATE('2010','YYYY')
WHERE aDATE > TO_DATE('2010 AUG 22','YYYY MMM DD')
WHERE aDATE > TO_DATE( 'January 15, 1989, 11:00 A.M.', 'Month dd, YYYY, HH:MI A.M.')
I believe most databases have something similar to this, although I have found Oracle's to be the most flexible and consistent, if not the most intuitive. Other vendors (DB2, SQL Server, Access) don't force you to always be explicit, and can accept a variety of date strings without masks. The problem is that while you might not be getting an error, it also may not be parsing your date as expected.
One could argue that this vendor specific hodgepodge of literal date/time strings is only one program modification away from disaster. They might be right.
Just to be clear. I'm not recommending using a vendor specific approach, but it's not a perfect world and somtimes you have to use what works easiest or best or fastest, and in some cases, that is the vendor specific alternatives.

Pdf file stored as BLOB data type on Oracle

I store PDF file as BLOB data type on Oracle. There are cases
where I get multiple records from the database, that means I get
multiple PDF files. They have to be merged and displayed on the web
page. I tried CFContent which can display only one PDF file at a
time but not more than one, whereas cfdocument is having problem
converting binary data to string. I am kind of stuck.
Can you anybody please help me out? Please let me know if you
have any questions or this does not make sense to you.
Thank you in advance.

if by "merge" you mean 3 pdf into 1 pdf, try cfpdf (if on

How to read char() for bit data DB2's type in Oracle?

Hello,
I am developing an application (from JDeveloper) to operate with two data base. In one hand threre is Oracle and in the other one DB2 (AS400).
I am trying to read a DB2'sfield with the "char() for bit data" type from Oracle, but I can't read it.
I have trying:
rset.getObject(1) -->[B@1a786c3
rset.getBinaryStream(1) --> java.io.ByteArrayInputStream@1a786c3
rset.getAsciiStream(1) --> java.io.ByteArrayInputStream@2bb514
rset.getCharacterStream(1) -->java.io.StringReader@1a786c3
Do you have any solution to see the value of this type of field?
Thank you and regards

I have to synchronize unidirectionally from the Oracle database to DB2. And I'd like to save the information of the record of DB2 prior to the update operation.
And here is where the problem arises for me, because when I try to read from Java with the connection established on DB2 is unable to interpret the information. While there are no problems from Oracle to consume the information, it happens that DB2 field types are not common with Oracle, such as char () for bit data. From what I could find the equivalent in Oracle would be raw (), but since Java is possible to read this type of information... And this is my doubt, it is necessary to do any type of cast or to do a special view to retrieve this information?

Stored Procedures with Date data types and Oracle

This should be easy.... But i keep getting the error:
[Macromedia][Oracle JDBC Driver][Oracle]ORA-06550: line 1,
column 7: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to
'RETRIEVE_TS' ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: Statement
ignored
And I got it worked out to where i know it is a problem with
the way i am using the date data types in a stored procedure....
In the past i usually avoided calling procedures in Oracle
with date as the in type.... It is always easiest to let oracle
convert the string to a date.... Unfortunately now i am stuck with
having a date type in the procedure call.... So the question is:
WHAT IS THE PROPER WAY TO SUBMIT DATE/TIME STAMP IN A STORED
PROCEDURE?
The Oracle Procedure looks like this:
PROCEDURE retrieve_ts (
p_at_tsv_rc IN OUT sys_refcursor,
p_units IN OUT VARCHAR2,
p_officeid IN VARCHAR2,
p_timeseries_desc IN VARCHAR2,
p_start_time IN DATE,
p_end_time IN DATE,
p_timezone IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'GMT',
p_trim IN NUMBER DEFAULT false_num,
p_inclusive IN NUMBER DEFAULT NULL,
p_versiondate IN DATE DEFAULT NULL,
p_max_version IN NUMBER DEFAULT true_num
AND the stored procedure call looks like this:
<cfset ed = Now()>
<cfset sd = #DateAdd("d",-lbt,Now())#>
<cfstoredproc datasource="CWMS"
procedure="cwms.cwms_ts.retrieve_ts"
returncode="no">
<cfprocparam type="inout" variable="unit" value="#unit#"
dbvarname="@p_units"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar">
<cfprocparam type="in" value="MVS"
dbvarname="@p_officeid"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar">
<cfprocparam type="in" value=#id.cwms_ts_id#
dbvarname="@p_timeseries_desc"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar">
<cfprocparam type="in" value="#sd#"
dbvarname="@p_start_time"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_date">
<cfprocparam type="in" value="#ed#"
dbvarname="@p_end_time"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_date">
<cfprocparam type="in" value="#tz#"
dbvarname="@p_time_zone"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar">
<cfprocparam type="in" value="0"
dbvarname="@p_trim"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric">
<cfprocparam type="in" value=""
null = "yes"
dbvarname="@p_inclusive"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric">
<cfprocparam type="in" value=""
null="yes"
dbvarname="@p_versiondate"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_date">
<cfprocparam type="in" value="1"
dbvarname="@p_max_version"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric">
<cfprocresult name="ts_dat">
</cfstoredproc>
Text

Yeah.... One is a type INOUT ref cursor.... which is denoted
by the cfprocresult....
By the way:
Phil - the code example with a little tweaking worked fine on
my machine....
<<cfstoredproc procedure="test_pkg.test"
datasource="myDSN" returncode="no">
<cfprocparam type="IN" cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp"
value="15-JUN-2005">
<cfprocparam type="OUT" cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar"
variable="v_out">
<cfprocresult name="rs1">
</cfstoredproc>
PROCEDURE test(
v3_out OUT ref_cur_type,
v1_in IN date default null,
v2_out OUT varchar2
IS
BEGIN
v2_out := TO_CHAR(v1_in, 'mm/dd/yyyy');
OPEN v3_out
FOR
SELECT *
FROM user
WHERE activation_date >= v1_in;
END test;
Why do i still get this error......
Here is what it looks like now:
PROCEDURE retrieve_ts (
p_at_tsv_rc IN OUT sys_refcursor,
p_units IN OUT VARCHAR2,
p_officeid IN VARCHAR2,
p_timeseries_desc IN VARCHAR2,
p_start_time IN DATE,
p_end_time IN DATE,
p_timezone IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'GMT',
p_trim IN NUMBER DEFAULT false_num,
p_inclusive IN NUMBER DEFAULT NULL,
p_versiondate IN DATE DEFAULT NULL,
p_max_version IN NUMBER DEFAULT true_num
<cfstoredproc datasource="CWMS"
procedure="cwms.cwms_ts.retrieve_ts"
returncode="no">
<cfprocparam type="INOUT" variable="p_units"
value="#unit#" 
cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar">
<cfprocparam type="IN" value="MVS"

cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar">
<cfprocparam type="IN" value=#id.cwms_ts_id#

cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar">
<cfprocparam type="IN" value="#sd#"

cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp">
<cfprocparam type="IN" value="#ed#"

cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp">
<cfprocparam type="IN" value="#tz#"

cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar">
<cfprocparam type="IN" value="0" 
cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer">
<cfprocparam type="IN" value=""

null = "yes"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric">
<cfprocparam type="IN" value=""

null="yes"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp">
<cfprocparam type="IN" value="1"

cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer">
<cfprocresult name="ts_dat">

</cfstoredproc>
If I truly am short a parameter, How do you specify the INOUT
sys_refcursor?

Hi,
I think you need unique ID's, for this purpose you use sequences
in Oracle. Example:
create table xy (
id number,
name varchar2(100)
alter table xy
add constraint xy_pk primary key(id);
create sequence xy_seq start with 1 maxvalue 99999999999;
(there are many other options for create sequence)
create or replace trigger xy_ins_trg
before insert on xy
for each row
begin
select xy_seq.nextval
into :new.id
from dual;
end;
This produces a unique value for the column id at each insert.
Hope this will help.

Cannot get the correct data type in Oracle JDBC

Dear ALL:
I used JDBC ResultSetMetaData to get the column data type for Oracle Database. I created a table including 2 columns AAA, which is NUMBER type, BBB which is FLOAT type.
However, I found a problem that either NUMBER or FLOAT data types are reported as NUMBER type in JDBC.
IN SQL 2000, it is okay. SMALLINT, INT, TINYINT, etc..can be reported correctly.
Can anybody tell me that what's wrong here? I will be very appreciated.

hi,
i guess its a bug which is fixed with 10i.

XML Data Type in oracle

I am a developer in .NET with having experience working on SQL server.
I want to know whether there is an xml data type in oracle.
I have an xml in my front end and want to insert record in the database for the values inside that xml. What i am doing currently is that i am retreiving the value in the xml in the .NET code and passing the values a parameter to a stored procedure in oracle. what i want to do is to pass the xml directly to stored procedure in oracle and retrieve the values there (using Xquery) and insert the records.
This is possible with SQL server 2005. I want to know is this possible with Oracle.
Thanks and regards,
Sameer J Narkar

Wonderful - a documentation question!
You will find your answer by going to the general documentation portal at http://tahiti.oracle.com following the path to the database version of interest, and looking in the SQL Reference manual. Chapter 2 discusses all data types, including the several supported for XML.
In addition, under the 'Books' tab, there are several XML-developer specific reference manuals.
(Oracle's support for XML generally blows away the others. The price for the extreme flexibility is an ease-of-use hit.)

BOOLEAN data type in oracle is it there?

is there any data type in oracle which stores BOOLEAN data?

>
There are inevitably problems with three-valued logic. To be consistent with the 3VL world of SQL one would expect a 3 value logical type (not strictly a "boolean" type at all). The standard chose not to do that and opted for just TRUE and FALSE with NULL as a sort of substitute for the third value. That in itself creates some logical conundrums but it's probably impossible to come up with any system that makes sense of SQL's 3VL. Probably that's why most DBMS vendors leave it out.
>
No problem. Just define it as NOT NULL and you will have traditional 2VL Boolean algebra.

....Date Type in Oracle

Hi All,
Just to clear a few misconception/ambiguities regarding the DATE data type in Oracle.
We hve a table which stores the date of insertion of a record. The front end application is in PHP while backend is in oracle.
When i query the table, it shows the date as dd-mon-yy , but it does not show the time. I have tried to query it throgh sqlPLus , TOAD and the PHP Application, but it doesnt show the time.
Is it not storing the time. The data type of the column is ( Insertdate date).
If you query sysdate, it definitly stores time, ... but what is in this case. Is it just storing the date and not the time. ???
How to alter so that it stores time as well.
Regards

U have to use the conversion function to_date to
store date along with time. No, you use to_date to convert a string to a date. That's it. A date column will ALWAYS store the time (it just won't always display it)
When u need to retrieve the data use to_char function. Not necessarily:
SQL> create table x (dte date);
Table created.
SQL> insert into x values(sysdate);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into x values(sysdate+1);
1 row created.
SQL> select * from x;
DTE
11-jul-2007 09:13:11
12-jul-2007 09:13:11
if u want to store time u can use timestamp data typeNope, You use timestamp if you want to store fractions of seconds (down to nano seconds)
The key point is. The date datatype ALWAYS stores:
Century, Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Second

Problem loading PostgreSQL Bytea data type to Oracle Raw data type

We are migrating our database from PostgreSQL to Oracle. First, we convert the BYTEA data type in PostgreSQL to Oracle RAW. The BYTEA data type is variable bytes array. How can we load the BYTEA data type to Oracle RAW data type? Or I have to convert to different data type. thanks.
Peter,

hi,
Instead of 'interval day to second' in method declaration use internal datatype 'DSINTERVAL_UNCONSTRAINED'.
There are more unconstrained types in oracle.

How Oracle JDBC driver determine DATE data type parameter if it is not specified

Oracle JDBC driver determine the DATE data type of parameter correctly without any typecasting.
Example:
ps = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT ? FROM DUAL");
ps.setObject(1, Date.valueOf("2014-01-11"));

How Oracle JDBC driver determine the DATE data type of parameter.
Your question isn't clear. If the driver is doing it correctly what PROBLEM are you having? What exactly do you consider 'correct'? What results are you getting? What driver name and version are you using? What Oracle DB version are you using?
For the code you use above the 'Date' you specify is a java.sql.Date instance
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/sql/Date.html#valueOf-java.lang.String-
public static Date valueOf(String s)
Converts a string in JDBC date escape format to a Date value.
Parameters:
s - a String object representing a date in in the format "yyyy-[m]m-[d]d". The leading zero for mm and dd may also be omitted.
Returns:
a java.sql.Date object representing the given date
The JDBC Dev Guide shows that is mapped to an oracle.sql.DATE
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/java.112/e16548/datacc.htm#g1028145
Oracle DATE datatypes have both date and time components. Depending on the JDBC driver version and DB version you are using an Oracle date could be mapped to a Java Date (which does NOT have a time component) or, for current versions, would be considered a timestamp..

Data from Excel to Oracle DB

Hi,
I can upload data from excel to access having created stored procedure on access.
I do the upload using my vb code.
How can I upload data from excel to oracle db? could i use the same technique as above? only problem is im not sure if that vb code will work with oracle?
has anyone done this before? anyone have example code?
kindly assist me here
thanks

The easiest way to do this is to use a Oracle ODBC connection which can be found on OTN. You do not need a stored proc.
After installing Oracle ODBC on the machine where Excel and Access live, do the following.
Note, you already have steps 1, 2 and 3. I list all the steps for others.
1. Create your MS/Excel workbook
2. Add data to it.
3. Save it as "book1.xls".
4. Open MS/Access
5. Create new blank database, call it db1.
6. Then from the file menu, get external data, import, make sure the file type is xls, select book1.xls.
7. The wizard will walk you through the process of importing you Excel workbook into a new table.
8. Save
9. From the file menu select export table.
10. Select ODBC at the bottom of the "Save as type list".
11. Then (depending how you set up ODBC) select Machine Data Source.
12 . Select your Oracle ODBC connection and press OK.
You now have taken data from Excel to Access and placed it in the Oracle schema that was named when you setup your Oracle ODBC connection.
