Dual OU s in DN string

Hi all,
I have a problem with distinguished name dn string. By the way, I am new to dn string.
under active dir win2008 I have 2 organizational units. such as, ou=I.T. and ou=darknight
I.T. - has user1 -- it has dots after I and T
darknight - has user2
Both of OU s are under darknight.com as organizational units. When I type for distinguished name in apex ldap auth., I can write only one of them in order to successfully authenticate for appropriate user names.
cn=%LDAP_USER%,ou=I.T.,dc=darknight,dc=com
or
cn=%LDAP_USER%,ou=darknight,dc=darknight,dc=com
In case of both OU s as below:
cn=%LDAP_USER%,ou=darknight,ou=I.T.,dc=darknight,dc=com
it does not work giving "invalid credentials" error for any user. So, how can I make dual ou in dn string? or what is the solution for dual organizational units?
Thanks in advance.

I've been thinking about this issue since your original post.. I was wondering if it'd be possible to use macro ACIs to implement this...
For example, you could create an objectClass called "publicOU" and assign it to your OUs you want to be public. Then, you could use an ACI like this (heavily borrowed from the DS 6.2 documentation):
aci: (targetattr="*")
(targetfilter=(objectClass=publicOU))(version 3.0;
acl "Allow Public OUs to be visible"; allow (read,search) userdn=
"ldap:///anyone";)
There may be more elegant ways to do this, but I think it would work...

It really is quite ugly syntax though.Not really. You can use whatever character you want to indicate the start and end of the string, but if you use any of the brackets "[", "(" or "{" you should terminate using the opposing bracket "]", ")" or "}" respectively. It also looks a bit more ugly with data like that, but if you are entering regular text then it looks ok...

select q'( it''s done )' from dualIf i need to use it''s done then what is the use of (q) operator
Thanks..

What is your database version ? Q-quote operator introduced in Oracle 10g and see the example, you might be facing this error.

SQL String formatting - help

I have a simple sql statement that works (in my case, returns 28 rows).
select columna,
columnb
from table
where columnb in ('Value1','Value2')
Next, I can do something like:
select ''''||replace('Value1,Value2',',',''',''')||'''' from dual and it returns a string:
(''''||REPLACE('VALUE1,VALUE2',',',''',''')||'''')
'Value1','Value2'
What I would like to do, is combine the two statements because the "in" statement will depend on a comma separated value list that the user will supply (which is why I'm trying to format it as an "in" statement would be formatted)
I've tried:
select columna,
columnb
from table
where columnb in (select ''''||replace('Value1,Value2',',',''',''')||'''' from dual);
This SQL statement returns 0 rows instead of my 28 that I think I should get. What am I doing wrong?

You may want to use Dynamic SQL, since the "in" list needs to be built each time:
SQL> var cr refcursor
SQL>
SQL> declare
2 v_first_char varchar2(100);
3 v_qry varchar2(1000);
4 begin
5 v_first_char := ''''||replace('&first_char',',',''',''')||'''';
6 v_qry := 'select empno,ename from emp where substr(ename,1,1) in ('||v_first_char||')';
7 open :cr for v_qry;

How can i acheive this?
Thanks,

what the problem in constructing??
you can use something like this....
declare
vStrng varchar2(100) := 'JOHN NAME SMITH';
v_temp varchar2(1000):= 'SELECT DISTINCT firstname,lastname FROM employees,
(SELECT regexp_substr('''||vStrng||''',''[[:alpha:]]+'',1,level) parsedstr
 FROM dual
 CONNECT BY level<=LENGTH(regexp_replace('''||vStrng||''',''[[:alpha:]]'',''''))+1
) WHERE instr(firstname,parsedstr)>0 OR instr(lastname,parsedstr) >0';
vSQL varchar2(1000):= 'SELECT ENAME,EMPNO,DEPT.DEPTNO FROM EMP,DEPT WHERE EMP.DEPTNO=DEPT.DEPTNO AND (firstname,lastname) in ('||v_temp||')';
begin
--rest of your code....
end;edit: In the same way...you can use any of the above mentioned solutions..

Generate Insert Statement Script to Extract Data from Table in Oracle 7i

Hi all, I have an old Oracle legacy system that is running for over 15 years.Every now and then we need to extract data from this table@ ORacle 7i to be imported back to Oracle 10G.
My thoughts are to create a script of Insert statements in oracle 7 and that to be deployed back to Oracle 10G.

Calling a PL/SQL web service from a procedure

I want to know the step ( and/or the code) to be able to do so
Here's what I have :
I want to call that :

Hello,
I don't think this is the right forum, as this question seems to have nothing to do with the Oracle Forms tool.
You'd better ask it in the database forum.

Invalid Number Using 'IN' Clause

Hi,
I use the following select statement to populate a report.

SELECT cpnidd, ...
FROM pdrcpn, pdrcpnsts
WHERE pdrcpnsts.cpnref1=pdrcpn.cpnref
AND pdrcpn.bizidd1 IN (SELECT PKG_APEX.GetUserBizIds(:APP_USER) from dual)

In the IN clause I use a call to a function to return a list of comma seperated numbers. This only works if a single number is returned, if more than one number is returned (eg. 23,34) I get the following error:

report error:
ORA-01722: invalid number

Am stumped as to why this is happening or how I can fix it, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Simon

'bizidd1' is a number so SQL is expecting a list of numbers separated by comas. What '(SELECT PKG_APEX.GetUserBizIds(:APP_USER) from dual)' returns is one text string. So if it returns '1,2,3,4' your SELECT will execute the following:
SELECT cpnidd, ...
FROM pdrcpn, pdrcpnsts
WHERE pdrcpnsts.cpnref1=pdrcpn.cpnref
AND pdrcpn.bizidd1 IN '1,2,3,4'Where what you want to execute is really:
SELECT cpnidd, ...
FROM pdrcpn, pdrcpnsts
WHERE pdrcpnsts.cpnref1=pdrcpn.cpnref
AND pdrcpn.bizidd1 IN (1,2,3,4)So how to get it to work. Whatever table PKG_APEX.GetUserBizIds retrieves it values from (say YOUR_TABLE) change your SELECT to be something like:
SELECT cpnidd, ...
FROM pdrcpn, pdrcpnsts
WHERE pdrcpnsts.cpnref1=pdrcpn.cpnref
AND pdrcpn.bizidd1 IN (SELECT your_column FROM your_table WHERE id = :APP_USER)If you are using the SELECT statement for a report region, you could change your region to a PL/SQL function that returns the SELECT statement like:
DECLARE
v_sql VARCHAR2(4000); -- bad to hardcode limits
BEGIN
v_sql := 'SELECT cpnidd, ... '||
 ' FROM pdrcpn, pdrcpnsts '||
 ' WHERE pdrcpnsts.cpnref1=pdrcpn.cpnref '||
 ' AND pdrcpn.bizidd1 IN ('||
 REPLACE (PKG_APEX.GetUserBizIds(:APP_USER)||' )';
RETURN(v_sql);
END;in a PL/SQL variable and

Creating blank column in view

Hi guys, I have created a view which obviously gets data from different tables, however I will (in the future) have an additional row in this view obtaining data from somewhere but as of yet that data does not exist, is it possible to create a row in a view and stick a random value in it untill i have the data available to go back and change it. The reason i need this row is that im creating a report and I want to bring in the column with some random txt in it then once the data is available simply change the view which will save me having to change the report if you get my drift?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.I think you want to add a column to the view (as the header suggests) and not an additional row. An addition row would make no difference for any reports. However an additional column will need to be cosidered in a report that is build upon that view.
You can add extra columns to all selects statements. And your view is nothing but a stored select.
example
/* Base select */
select * from dual;
DUMMY
X
/* Add a string null column colA */
select d.*, '' as colA from dual d;
DUMMY COLA
X
/* Add a number column colA */
select d.*, cast(null as number) as colA from dual d;
DUMMY COLA
X
/* Add a string column colA with random values*/
select d.*, dbms_random.string('A', 10) as colA from dual d;
DUMMY COLA

Question: 9i- 10g

Hi all,
What does anyone know or have an opinion regarding 10g's ability with Virtual Private Databases/Row level security and Unix based servers providing client-server forms and reports services to browser based windows and unix clients?
My organisation has been stuck in Forms 6 land because of heavy limitations of Forms 9's ability to handle row level security in this situation and I was curious to know if anyone has upgraded to 10g and resolved any issues in that regards.
Thanks all.

TECHNOLOGY: Security
Keeping Information Private with VPD
By Arup Nanda
Oracle's row-level security gives users their own virtual private databases.
Ensuring appropriate information privacy is a pressing concern for many businesses today, given privacy legislation such as the United States' HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the EU's Safe Harbour Law. Other privacy mandates, such as Visa's Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP), also require businesses to ensure that access to information is tightly controlled.
Oracle has always included the ability to grant (or deny) users access to database objects, but these privileges are defined at the object levelfor an entire table, not for specific rows in that table. Although that approach is sufficient for many applications, any application touching on financial, health, or other kinds of personal information usually requires more-discrete controls over access and authorization.
Oracle's row-level security (RLS) feature, introduced in Oracle8i, provides fine-grained access controlfine-grained means at the individual row level. Rather than opening up an entire table to any individual user who has any privileges on the table, row-level security restricts access to specific rows in a table. The result is that any individual user sees a completely different set of dataonly the data that person is authorized to seeso the overall capabilities are sometimes referred to as Oracle's virtual private database, or VPD, feature.
Using Oracle's VPD capabilities not only ensures that companies can build secure databases to adhere to privacy policies but also provides a more manageable approach to application development, because although the VPD-based policies restrict access to the database tables, they can be easily changed when necessary, without requiring modifications to application code.
For example, say a bank's account managers (AMs) provide personal customer support to high-net-worth account holders. AMs use a custom banking application to help them check their customers' balances, deposit or withdraw funds, and decide on loan requirements, for example. At one time, the bank's policy was to allow all AMs to access all account holder information, but that policy was recently changed. Now, AMs are assigned to a particular set of customers, and they need to be able to access information pertaining only to those customers. The policy change needs to be reflected in the application, which currently shows all customer information to each AM, not just information on the customers to whom each particular AM is assigned.
To make the application comply with the new privacy policy, the bank has three choices:
Modify the application code to include a predicate (a WHERE clause) for all SQL statements. This option doesn't ensure privacy policy enforcement outside the application, however, and if there are other changes in the future, the code will once again have to be modified, so this is not a good approach in the long term.
Leave the application intact, creating views with the necessary predicates and creating synonyms with the same name as the table names for these views. This option is better from the perspective of application changes and security, but it can be difficult to administer, because of the potentially large number of views to track and manage.
Create a VPD for each of the AMs by creating policy functions that generate dynamic predicates, which can then be applied across all objects, regardless of how they are accessed, by setting up policies with the row-level-security built-in package (DBMS_RLS).
This last option offers the best security without administrative overhead and ensures complete privacy of informationall the account managers see a different view of the table, according to their own credentials.
This article shows you how to set up a VPD security model. It goes through the process by using the foregoing bank scenario to create policy functions, define policies, and then test results. (Note that the tables are not completely defined, to keep the example simple.)
Basic Setup for the Example Application
Briefly, here are the basic assumptions about the example bank application:
A BANK schema owns two key tables that make up the applicationa CUSTOMERS table:
Name Null? Type
CUST_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
CUST_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(20)
and an ACCOUNTS table:
Name Null? Type
ACCT_NO NOT NULL NUMBER
CUST_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
BALANCE NUMBER(15,2)
Listing 1 comprises the SQL script for creating and populating these two basic example tables.
User SECMAN (security manager) owns an ACCESS_POLICY table that identifies the AMs and their respective customer accounts:
Name Null? Type
AM_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(20)
CUST_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
ACCESS_TYPE NOT NULL CHAR(1)
The AM_NAME column stores the user ID of the account manager; CUST_ID identifies the customer; and ACCESS_TYPE defines the specific access entitlementS (SELECT), I (INSERT), D (DELETE), or U (UPDATE). Some example records from the ACCESS_POLICY table follow:
AM_NAME CUST_ID ACCESS_TYPE
SCOTT 123 S
SCOTT 123 I
SCOTT 123 D
SCOTT 123 U
SCOTT 456 S
SCOTT 789 S
LARA 456 I
LARA 456 D
LARA 456 U
LARA 456 S
As you can see, SCOTT, the AM for customer 123, has all privilegesS, I, D, and Uas does LARA for customer 456. Also, because SCOTT can confirm account balances for one customer of LARA, he has S privileges on customer 456.
Step 1. Create a Policy Function
The bank's access rules (contained in the ACCESS_POLICY table) must be applied somehow, dynamically, whenever an AM tries to look into customer account information. The first step is to create a policy function that returns the appropriate predicate to be applied to the table. As with the ACCESS_POLICY table, the policy functions are created and controlled by user SECMAN, for security purposes. It's best to keep privacy rules separate from the tables to which they apply.
Let's examine the policy function, get_sel_cust_idshown in Listing 2 in detail:
Accepts exactly two parameters: the schema name (p_schema in varchar2) and the table name (p_table in varchar2)
Returns one value only, a stringreturn varchar2 as l_retstr varchar2(2000);comprising the predicate that will be appended to every query on the table
Uses a cursor routinefor cust_ rec into get the list of values, because each user may have several cust_ids listed in the table
Returns a constructed stringl_retstrto be used as a predicate whenever any user attempts to access the underlying table
The function returns the predicate where cust_id in with the appended list of customer accounts (cust_id), separated by commas, that the user (am_name = USER) is allowed to see.
Note that before entering the loop that builds the list of cust_ids for the user, the code in Listing 2 checks to see if the user is the table owner BANK, in which case the function returns a NULL predicate, as follows:
if (p_schema = user) then
1_retstr := null;
After building this function, you want to make sure it returns the appropriate predicate, by testing some sample data. Connect to the database as SECMAN, and insert some records into the ACCESS_POLICY table, giving SECMAN read privileges on a few sample accounts, as follows:
insert into access_policy values ('SECMAN',123,'S');
insert into access_policy values ('SECMAN',456,'S');
insert into access_policy values ('SECMAN',789,'S');
Now execute the function:
select get_sel_cust_id
('BANK','CUSTOMERS') from dual;
The function returns a string that will be applied as a predicate, as shown in the following sample output:
GET_SEL_CUST_ID('BANK','CUSTOMERS')
CUST_ID IN (123,456,789)
You need to create similar functions for the other types of access. For simplicity's sake, create a single function for all the other access typesUPDATE, DELETE, INSERTas shown in Listing 3. However, note that for a real-world application, each type of access should have its own individual function defined, to ensure appropriate privacy.
The policy function in Listing 3 is nearly identical to the policy function in Listing 2, except that the predicate is further qualified by use of the information from the ACCESS_CONTROL table:
and access_type in ('I', 'U', 'D')
Creating a policy function is just the first step. You now need to ensure that the function will be used, by defining the policy that should control its use in your system.
Step 2. Define a Policy
Policies are defined with the DBMS_RLS package, which is Oracle-supplied. Be aware that the policies themselves are not database objects owned by any user (schema); they are logical constructs. Any user who has the execute privilege on the DBMS_RLS package can modify or drop a policy created by another user. Privileges to DBMS_RLS should be judiciously controlled and granted with caution.
In the following example, user SECMAN is granted execute privileges (by SYS) on the DBMS_RLS package:
grant execute on dbms_rls to secman;
Listing 4 creates a policy named CUST_SEL_POLICY on the table CUSTOMERS of schema BANK. This policy applies the predicate returned by the function GET_SEL_CUST_ID (which is shown in Listing 2) owned by schema SECMAN to all SELECT statements on the table.
Similarly, you place another policy on the table for other access types, as shown in Listing 5. This policy applies to inserts, updates, and deletes in the CUSTOMERS table.
It is almost identical to the SELECT policy, except that this policy includes a check that ensures that the policy will remain compliant even after an update:
update_check => TRUE
Data cannot be added to the table unless it adheres to the policy.
Step 3. Test the Setup
Now that the building blocks are in place, let's see how they work. Connecting as user BANK and issuing a simple select * from customers; query displays the following:
CUST_ID CUST_NAME
123 Jay Kulkarni
456 Wim Patel
These two records are the full contents of the CUSTOMERS table, and both records are shown because BANK owns the table, so the predicate clause is NULLthat is, no predicate is applied. However, when user LARA makes the same query, she sees the following:
select * from customers;
CUST_ID CUST_NAME
456 WIM PATEL
LARA sees only CUST_ID 456, not 123, because that is the row she is authorized to see, as determined by the ACCESS_ POLICY table. Note that the query has no WHERE clause but that the selection from the table is automatically filtered to show only the authorized rows.
If user SCOTT makes the same query, his results are different from the results for LARA: select * from customers;
CUST_ID CUST_NAME
123 Jay Kulkarni
456 Wim Patel
User SCOTT sees both rows, because he is authorized to do so, as shown in the ACCESS_POLICY table. When user LARA issues the query, the policy function get_sel_cust_id returns the predicate where cust_id in (456). Lara's original query select * from customers is rewritten as
select * from
(select * from customers)
where cust_id in (456)
The predicate is automatically appended to the user's original query. The same thing happens when the user updates the table:
SQL> update bank.customers
2 set cust_name = 'PAT TERRY';
1 row updated.
Note that in this example, only one row is updated, even though there are actually two rows in the underlying table. The policy (CUST_IUD_POLICY) appends the predicate where cust_id in (456) to the update statement. Similarly, while the table is being deleted, only the rows for which the user is authorized are deleted.
Attempting to insert a row containing data for which the user is not authorized results in an error message. For example, in this query, LARA is attempting to add a record to the CUSTOMER table for an account not under her purview: Next Steps

insert into bank.customers
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28115: policy with check option
violation
According to the ACCESS_POLICY table, Scott has SELECT privileges on account 789no other privileges for any other AM are listed in the table.
Using policies in conjunction with functions ensures authorized access to specific records of a table. The rules are applied regardless of how the table is accessed, whether through an application or directly through an ad hoc query tool, such as SQL*Plus. Users see only rows for which they have been authorized.
Policies can be applied to multiple tables, and a single policy function can be used by any number of policies. Listing 6 shows a policy on an ACCOUNTS table that uses the get_sel_cust_id function initially created for use with the CUSTOMERS table.

How pervasive is this regex bug? Is there an official bug ID?

Oracle has a bug in their regular expression handling in 10g 2 and 11g 2. Is this bug also in XE? If so, does it have a bug number I can reference? I don't have support, I'm just evaluating Oracle Database offerings for our company.
The bug: With 10g 2 Oracle released support for non-greedy quantifiers in regular expressions. See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25518/adfns_regexp.htm#autoId6
However, it has bugs.

foo, bar,and same results on SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production. This is obviously a bug. One can argue about the differing possible interpretations of the sequence `.\*?`, but there is nothing that suggest `b.\*,` shouldn't pick up `qux`. I have a dozen other examples if you want. So my question is that since this has been a bug in released production code for over a year, is there a bug/defect number I can use to track it's eventual resolution? I don't have a support contract to ask support directly because I'm just evaluating right now. I'm trying to push for Oracle but bugs like this make it hard for me to use the argument that Oracle is relatively bug free.
Fixed * interpreted as markup

Oracle has a bug in their regular expression handling in 10g 2 and 11g 2. Is this bug also in XE?If a bug exists in Oracle Database 11.2.0.2, it's very likely to exist in 11.2 XE as well, as 11.2 XE is based on that version.
and same results on SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 ProductionThis is no matter of SQL*Plus, as this is only the client, while the query you execute is processed by the database you're connected to.
Despite that, I wonder how it comes you have SQL*Plus 11.2.0.1.0 on your machine, because XE ships with 11.2.0.2. But this has no impact on your issue...
but there is nothing that suggest `b.*,` shouldn't pick up `qux`. I'm not sure about that. It's a question of where your "preceding" definition ends and how you interprete the documentation. See the differences (or no difference) when using subgroups to separate greedy and nongreedy operators explicitly, e. g.
select regexp_substr('foo, bar, qux, ','.*?(b.*,)') from dual;
-- or even
select regexp_substr('foo, bar, qux, ','(.*?b)(.*,)') from dual; return foo, bar,, which would fit the "first string to match" strategy documented for regexp_substr.
On the other hand, you could enforce the behaviour you seem to expect with making the greedy subgroup explicit.
select regexp_substr('foo, bar, qux, ','.*?b(.*,)') from dual;
-- or
select regexp_substr('foo, bar, qux, ','(.*b)(.*?,)') from dual; will return your complete string.
Of course, you can always argue on whether you should "reuse" characters for different groups when evaluating the regex. From my personal experience, using explicit subgroups helps structuring (and understanding) your regex and makes moving through different implementations easier...
I'm trying to push for Oracle but bugs like this make it hard for me to use the argument that Oracle is relatively bug free.This is mostly a point of view, as your "relatively" indicates...

The Regular Expressions and GUID.

Hello gurus, I hope you can help me!
I am needing to select GUIDS from a table and for this, I need the Regular Expression. My
Perl is not good and not good Regular Expression. My database is Oralce 11.2.0.2.0 and
the Operating System of the Machine is Linux (Oracle Version 6). If you require the further information,
I will watch closely. Thank you. Jehangir.

Hi Jehangir and welcome to the forums.
I am needing to select GUIDS from a table and for this,Well, the first thing you should do is read the forum FAQ and also the post by BluShadow
at the top of the posts on the forum home page. You should have provided code (DDL
and DML) showing your particular problem, but since this is your first time, I'll be gentle ;)
We have done this - sometimes clients have GUIDs as PKs and we need to send data to
their systems, but it isn't as simple as it may first appear.
GUIDs can come in three formats.
The Oracle one - SELECT Sys_GUID() from DUAL which is just a string of 32 Hexadecimal characters.
Then the string with hyphens and then the string with hypens and {} at beginning and end (see
sample data).
with datax as
SELECT '79A864CCD8E44CD8B0A2765DF9EF337B' as guid FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT '79A864CFD8E44CD7B0A2765DF9EF337B' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT '8gdfsgsgfdg' FROM DUAL UNION ALL -- dummy for testing
SELECT '21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT '21EC5550-3AEA-1069-A2FF-08002B30309D' FROM DUAL UNION All
SELECT '{21CC2020-3AFA-1A69-A2DD-08002B30309D}' FROM DUAL
-- first one is the Oracle format
select * from datax where regexp_like(guid, '[0-9a-fA-F]{32}'); -- Oracle select sys_guid();
-- second one is with hyphens
select * from datax where regexp_like(guid, '[0-9a-fA-F]{8}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}');
-- third one is with hyphens and curly brackets.
select * from datax where regexp_like(guid, '^\{[0-9a-fA-F]{8}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}\}$');
-- This converts both of the last two formats back into Oracle format, which is what
-- we use. Notice, that I haven't used regualar expressions to do this. Regexes are
-- computationally expensive, and you should use Oracle's string furnctions if possible
SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(GUID, '{', ''), '}', ''), '-', '') FROM Datax;HTH,
Paul...
