Date format in create table statement

Hello,
I would like to know if it possible to CREATE TABLE with formated date;
create table months
(id number,
(month_col to_char( month_col,'MM'));so when I insert
insert into months values (1,sysdate); And query
select *from months;
I would get
id months_col
1 04I know this could easily be done by cerating a view on a table, but I was wondering if this was possible to implement directly into table.
I browesed through the documentation, but did not find any datatype that would support this.
Thank you for replies.

Personally I would go for using the DATE data type. Using the DATE data type will always ensure that you are actually inserting a date. With a VARCHAR2 or CHAR data type you could insert '27' which is a valid character string but an invalid date.
To display the data the way you want you could either use a view or if you are on a more recent version of Oracle a virtual column.
Hope this helps!

CREATE TABLE statement

i am accessing the local database through JDBC for an application. but i've been getting "not allowed" errors while trying to execute a CREATE TABLE statement in my servlet. It allows all other statements like insert, delete, select etc. i've been using a default table because of the same reason.
so if someone could please throw some light into it.

Hi,
Statements like Create which is a Data definition one
will not be entertained by the program while executing.
The reason being the DB cannot allocate the required buffer for crating a table at the time of execution.
So the alterantive is create your DB table manually in ur Db and try other DML statements.
Hope it helps.

SQL Developer Create Table Statement to ERD Visio Diagram

I have the following Create table statement from SQL Developer and I am trying to generate an ERD Diagram using 2003 Visio. I was wondering what I need to do to convert the Create Table to an ERD Diagram Using Visio. Thanks
CREATE TABLE “TT_TEAM”.”HR_REVOKED_SECURITY_ORGS”
“ID” NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
“ACAT_CODE” VARCHAR2(6 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
“APPR_SEQ_NO” NUMBER(3,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
“USER_ID” VARCHAR2(30 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
“ACTION_IND” VARCHAR2(1 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
“ACTIVITY_DATE” DATE NOT NULL ENABLE,
“COAS_CODE” VARCHAR2(1 BYTE),
“ORGN_CODE” VARCHAR2(6 BYTE),

“MANDATORY_APPR_IND” VARCHAR2(1 BYTE),
“APPR_POSN” VARCHAR2(6 BYTE),
“ORGN_MANAGER” VARCHAR2(6 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE;

I'm pretty Visio is a non-Oracle product.
In the mean-time, you can easily import a DDL script file and create a relational model/diagram using SQL Developer. Use the Import feature and point to your CREATE TABLE script(s)

SQLPLUS - Create Table statement

Hello gents/ladies.
I have a few tables that I want to import from a DUMP file I have from MySQL. My quickie question : I've removed all the MySQL specific formatting ( I thought ) like Type=MYISAM and similar, and ended up with a CREATE TABLE statement that looks like this:
CREATE TABLE customerdetails (
custid NUMBER(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
uid_system varchar2(20) NOT NULL default '',
pwd_system varchar2(20) NOT NULL default '',
lastname varchar2(30) NOT NULL default '',
firstname varchar2(30) NOT NULL default '',
middleinitial char(1) default NULL,
day_phone_countrycode char(3) default NULL,
day_phone_main varchar2(16) default NULL,
evening_phone_countrycode char(3) default NULL,
evening_phone_main varchar2(16) default NULL,
email_primary varchar2(80) NOT NULL default '',
email_secondary varchar2(80) default NULL,
street_adress varchar2(80) NOT NULL default '',
state_prov char(3) NOT NULL default '',
zipcode varchar2(11) NOT NULL default '',
countrycode char(3) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (custid),
UNIQUE KEY UC_custid(custid),
UNIQUE KEY IDX_system_uid(uid_system),
KEY idx_lname_fname_mi(lastname,firstname,middleinitial),
KEY IDX_day_phone(day_phone_countrycode,day_phone_main)
I get this error back from SQLPLUS:
CREATE TABLE CUSTOMERDETAILS (
ERROR in line 1:
ORA-00922: missing or invalid option
I've read through the documentation, and can't see what I'm missing here. Could somebody PLEASE point out the obviously screaming error in this statement?
Thanks!
Kind regards,

Hi Henning Pedersen,
First of all the your query syntax is wrong.
1. the keyword you used "auto_increment" is not in oracle. you need to take it out from query.
2. you are saying some columns are not null but giving default value as '' (two quotes without any space), this is contradiction, since '' is null, this gives you an error.
Need to take it out.
3. the keyword UNIQUE KEY is wrong you need to use only UNIQUE.
4. Another option is not correct it UNIQUE KEY IDX_system_uid(uid_system),
it must be UNIQUE (uid_system)
5. There is not any keyword as a KEY in oracle. you need to take it out from the query too.
The final query will be like :
CREATE TABLE customerdetails (
custid NUMBER(11) NOT NULL ,
uid_system varchar2(20) NOT NULL ,
pwd_system varchar2(20) NOT NULL ,
lastname varchar2(30) NOT NULL ,
firstname varchar2(30) NOT NULL ,
middleinitial char(1) default NULL,
day_phone_countrycode char(3) default NULL,
day_phone_main varchar2(16) default NULL,
evening_phone_countrycode char(3) default NULL,
evening_phone_main varchar2(16) default NULL,
email_primary varchar2(80) NOT NULL ,
email_secondary varchar2(80) default NULL,
street_adress varchar2(80) NOT NULL ,
state_prov char(3) NOT NULL ,
zipcode varchar2(11) NOT NULL ,
countrycode char(3) NOT NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY (custid),
UNIQUE (custid),
UNIQUE (uid_system)---,
---KEY idx_lname_fname_mi(lastname,firstname,middleinitial),
---KEY IDX_day_phone(day_phone_countrycode,day_phone_main)
This would work fine.
Thanx
Arvind.

Mass create table statement

Hi,
I am facing the following problem:
Database A is running with a great number of tables.
Database B should contain the same tables as A with different data (DB B is empty at the moment).
Therefore I've collected all the 'create table'-statements and packed them into a script.
Because there are several foreign key constraints in DB A (not all deferrable) it seems to be a problem to execute the script.
I have searched the internet how to disable constraints before executing the statements, but I' ve only found solutions for disabling constraints for allready existing tables - not disabling constraint checks will creating.
So, could you please give me a hint what keywords I should use for my further search?
Thanks in advance.

Generate Create Table Statements

Hi, the problem is:
My company want to migrate our SQL Server DB to Winwows Azure Server (currently we have our own domain and server), but Azure doesn't support the sentence 'Into' to create temporary tables, so we should replace all 'Into' sentences to corresponding 'Create
Table' statements. Our system have up 1000 SP's with 'Into' sentences and many SP's have a lot of them.
My question: is possible generate a 'Create Table' statement automatically, from a 'select into' sentence? i want to know if Management Studio or external tool have this feature o something similar.
Sorry for my poor english but this is not my native language.
Thanks!

Try this one on for size. Run it against your existing DB. It'll give you create scripts you can use on your new DB.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to change date format for ‘Created’ field in the getVersions web service.
Per my knowledge, you can get the date format for ‘Created’ field as “MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm a”.
For more information, you can refer to:
Versions.GetVersions Method (Versions)

Create Create table statement dynamicallly

I am trying to create a SP that return a “Create table “statement dynamically using a table called “Employee” in database. How can I create a dynamic Create Table
statement using sys.table? The create table statement should contains all the columns from Employee table.. i am using SQL server 2008 R2

Hi SSAS_5000,
If you don't care about the constraints,dependency on the Table Employee and what you'd like is the table structure, you may use the below statement where the create statement generated from the SP is executed.
SELECT TOP 1 * INTO desiredTable FROM Eemploy;
TRUNCATE TABLE desiredTable
If you have question, feel free to let me know.

Create table statement from DatabaseMetaData

Hi Experts,
Do you know if it's possible to retrieve a create table statement based on a DatabaseMetaData ? (without looping through columnName / Type)
The idea is to get the DatabaseMetaData from one db server, and execute the Create Table statements on a different db server.
One obvious solution would be to loop through each table's column name/type and construct the create table statement manually, but I'd like to know whether this can be automated.
Thanks in advnace,
Sid

Bigger databases provide a way to access most schema information from the database itself. That doesn't mean that the jdbc meta information is sufficient nor the best way to do that.
There are existing tools that allow for migrations as well. Especially if the migration is a one to one mapping.

Need help at date format while creating External Tables from Flat file

Hi All,
I have a flat file generated from SQL Server 2005. In that generated flat file the date format is in the format as "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.Millisec" like example "2007-09-08 13:32:36.568".
My task is I have to load this flat file data into Oracle database table running on 9i, but its failing at the creation of external table itself because of this date format. The target table in Oracle the date column data type is "date" only not the "TIMESTAMP".
Can any body suggest how to resolve this?
Thanks,
Sankar

Or:
SQL> select cast(to_timestamp('2007-09-08 13:32:36.568',
2 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss.xff') as date) dt
3 from dual;

DATE FORMAT in HANA table

Hi
I have Csv file in UTF-8 format have fields like data
2012/02/23, XXXXXX( all 2byte characters),........................................
When i import it says invalid number for 2012/02/23.
I created table like this
Create column table Schema1.table (
SHOD     DATE,
MANUD     DATE,
and
Create column table Schema1.table (
SHOD     VARCHAR(10),
MANUD     VARCHAR(10),
both does not allow me to store data into table..any idea please.
Regards
Magalingam

Hi,
If you are using the .ctl file to import .CSV files into HANA, the default source date format is YYYYMMDD. However, if say your source format is in the YYYY/MM/DD format for e.g... you can change your IMPORT statement as follows:
IMPORT FROM '<file_location>.ctl' WITH THREADS 16 BATCH 200000 DATE FORMAT 'YYYY/MM/DD';
It is worth noting the SYTAX of the IMPORT statement as you could transform TIME and TIMESTAMP fields similarly:
IMPORT FROM [<file_type>] <file_path> [INTO <table_name>] [WITH <import_from_option
_list>]
<file_type> ::= CSV FILE | CONTROL FILE
<file_path> ::= '<character>...'
<table_name> ::= [<schema_name>.]<identifier>
<import_from_option_list> ::= <import_from_option> | <import_from_option_list> <import_from_option>
<import_from_option> :: =
THREADS <number_of_threads> |
BATCH <number_of_records_of_each_commit> |
TABLE LOCK |
NO TYPE CHECK |
SKIP FIRST <number_of_rows_to_skip> ROW |
COLUMN LIST IN FIRST ROW |
COLUMN LIST ( <column_name_list> ) |
RECORD DELIMITED BY '<string_for_record_delimiter>' |
FIELD DELIMITED BY '<string_for_field_delimiter>' |
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '<character_for_optional_enclosure>' |

When creating a universe based on a MS Analysis 2008 cube the date objects from the cube are created in the universe with CHAR format when it should be DATE format
I have tried to resolve the issue by modifying the date object in the universe with MDX but with little success.
I wonder if it is an error in the cube and that it actually should be possible to get the correct date format from the cube when creating the universe automatically in the universe design tool.
The date object is organised in a hierarchy.
Any ideas? - both to resolve the issue by using MDX in the universe object properties or in the cube.
The universe design tool is version 4.0 SP2 patch 5

Oh I knew I was missing something. Ok version 2.
I think in general this approach would work. I assumed you are starting from 1 and resetting to 1.
There should be error handling and so forth that is not here. Probably some details need to be tweaked.
So the key thing here AFAIK is to put the sequence reset in an autonomous procedure. Exactly how to do that may need to be modified.
PS this version has a bug. After the reset needs to change the increment of the sequence back to 1.
and I left that out. oops!
/* testtrigger */
/* previously:
create table mytable (
myprimary_key number(10) primary key,
column1 number(2)

nocache;
create table mylastdate (lastdate date);
insert into mylastdate(lastdate) values (trunc(sysdate));
create or replace procedure reset_mysequence (in_correction number) is
pragma autonomous_transaction;
begin
execute immediate 'alter sequence mysequence INCREMENT BY ' || in_correction || ' MINVALUE 1';
update mylastdate set lastdate = trunc(sysdate);
commit;
end;
show errors;
create or replace trigger mytrigger
before insert on mytable for each row
declare
tmpdate number(8) := null;
lastdate_used number(8) := null;
correction number := null;
lastseq number(2) := null;
begin
if INSERTING then
tmpdate := to_number(to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMMDD'));
select to_number(to_char(lastdate,'YYYYMMDD')) into lastdate_used
from mylastdate;
select mysequence.currval into lastseq from dual;
/* when this displays in the forum it shows lt gt as nothing on the screen
so this should be lastdate not equal to tmpdate */
if lastdate_used <> tmpdate and lastseq > 1 then
correction := -(lastseq - 1);
reset_mysequence(correction);
end if;
:new.myprimary_key := (tmpdate * 100) + mysequence.nextval;
end if;
end;
show errors;
