Equivalent to the Pivot command on Oracle 10g

Hi,
I have a requirement where i want change the below statement so it pivots on the day of the week
select periodid, entrydate, duration
from period
where period_id = xxxx
The above statement will return 7 records for each of the days of the week.
I want these 7 days to become columns.
Is there a way I can change this so is it
select period_id_monday, monday_duration, period_id_tuesday, tuesday_duration,
period_id_wednesday, wednesday_duration, period_id_thursdayday, thursday_duration,
period_id_friday, friday_duration
without having 7 separate sub queries.
Pivot command in SQL server is only for group functions from what I remember
Regards
Stephen

You could have googled or searched the forums! The method is
select max(decode(to_char(entrydate, 'fmDAY', 'nls_date_language=english'), 'MONDAY', periodid)) monday_perodid,
max(decode(to_char(entrydate, 'fmDAY', 'nls_date_language=english'), 'MONDAY', duration)) monday_duration,
from perod
where period_id = xxxxleaving you to fill in the blanks...

Does SAP offer an equivalent of the PREPARE command in ORACLE

Hi Experts,
Does anyone knows the equivalent of PREPARE statement in SAP. I'm currently coding using Native SQL & the DB is ORACLE. Here is the code:
SQLSTMT = 'SELECT PARTNER FROM BUT000'.
EXEC SQL.
   PREPARE STATEMENT_NAME FROM :SQLSTMT
   DECLARE C1 SCROLL CURSOR FOR STATEMENT_NAME
   OPEN C1
   FETCH NEXT C1 INTO :GPARTNER
ENDEXEC.
How do I make this work in SAP?

But once I had the problem to be "quite dynamic" in ABAP
well it may be it's not that general: I want to select on a table.
The tricky part was to what to fetch into ? At least I was dealing with one
table so I could get the structure into a work area using dereferencing it.
ABAP:
data :
dref type ref to data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <wa> type any.
don't know the table structure so I do it dynamically:
CREATE DATA dref TYPE (TABLENAME).
ASSIGN dref->* to <wa>.
OPEN CURSOR curs FOR
          SELECT     (PART_COLUMNS)
            FROM     (TABLENAME)
            WHERE    (l_where)
            GROUP BY (PART_COLUMNS).
DO.
          FETCH NEXT CURSOR curs into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF <wa>.
do whatever you need to do with <wa>
ENDDO.

You should ask Oracle support for help. There's only one entry for this error stack (Bug 3361288 - Export of XMLSCHEMA may fail with ORA-24324 in UTF8), but it should have been fixed for your DB version and , as far as I can see, you don't have a Unicode database.

Can you check Metalink Note 376022.1? Your STREAMS_POOL_SIZE parameter may be too small.
If you don't have Metalink access, try this :
sql> alter system set STREAMS_POOL_SIZE=100M scope=spfile;
sql> shutdown immediate
sql> startup
Note : the Portal Applications forum may not be the appropriate forum for this datapump issue. Try one of the database forums as you'll have a wider audience there.

Can't Create the ODBC connection for Oracle 10g

Hi,
I am working with Oracle 10g Database Release 2 in windows XP professional. I am trying to create an ODBC connection for oracle but become failure because its generating the following errors:
system error code 998
could not locate the setup or translator library
Please help me how can I solve this problem and create the ODBC connection for oracle 10g database.
Best Regards,

could not locate the setup or translator libraryThe symptom described is typical of an incorrect system env PATH setting (used by the data source admin tool), compared to that of the Oracle Home (specifically, path $OH/bin). The odbc driver config routine will search directories listed in PATH variable for necessary libraries (Client dll's). If some library fails to load (from e.g. oraoci*.dll or oraclient10.dll) it will probably error out, as in your case.
Are you creating the odbc dsn on the databse server host or on some other machine? I.e. are you using the db host as a client or not?

Where can I download the ODBC driver for Oracle 10g XE?

where can I download the ODBC driver for Oracle 10g XE?

Hi,
Just check below link..would be helpful..
http://www.oracle.com/global/ap/openworld/ppt_download/database_manageability%2011g%20overview_230.pdf
and
Each release of Oracle has many differences, and Oracle 10g is a major re-write of the Oracle kernel from Oracle 9i. While there are several hundred new features and other differences between 9i and 10g, here are the major differences between Oracle9i and Oracle10g:
Major changes to SQL optimizer internals
Oracle Grid computing
AWR and ASH tables incorporated into Oracle Performance Pack and Diagnostic Pack options
Automated Session History (ASH) materializes the Oracle Wait Interface over time
Data Pump replaces imp utility with impdp
Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM)
SQLTuning Advisor
SQLAccess Advisor
Rolling database upgrades (using Oracle10g RAC)
dbms_scheduler package replaces dbms_job for scheduling
and you need to refer oracle documentation for sql, plsql references where you will know particular enhancements made...
thanks

Hi,
This delivers possibly wrong data in MCOD installations.
Depending on Oracle Version and Patchlevel dba_segments does not always have the correct data,
at any time esp. for indexes right after being rebuild parallel (Even in DB02 because it is using USER_SEGMENTS).
Takes a day to get the data back in line (never found out, who did the correction at night, could be RSCOLL00 ?).
Use above statement with "OWNER = " in WHERE for MCOD or connect as schema owner and use USER_SEGMENTS.
Use with
segment_name LIKE '<TABLE_NAME>%'
if you like to see the related indexes as well.
For partitioned objects, a join from dba_tables / dba_indexes to dba_tab_partitions/dba_ind_partitions to dba_segments
might be needed, esp. for hash partitioned tables, depending on how they have been created ( partition names SYS_xxxx).

Need to have more info about the latest patch on Oracle 10g Release 2

Please this is the follwing answer that was given to explain the purpose of patching the latest release of Oracle 10g release 2.
We are applying the patch to the 32bit environment to resolve memory errors.
This patch should be applied to the 64bit environments too as to maintain consistency in our database versions
Personaly I don't believe the response is accurate to patch the database.
Does someone can tell me where to find more information about the latest path of Oracle 10g release 2?
Thanks a lot

You can find more information about a patchset by going over the readme document associated with the patch. As such, it is not exactly clear what kind of information you are looking for.
Login into Metalink=>Patches&Updates=>Simple Search=>

if will your a link to the readme file...
Hope this helps

What's the latest patch for oracle 10g client?

what's the latest patch for oracle 10g client? 6810189?

The same as the patch for the Oracle database of the same version and operating system. Since you didn't specify the operating system or the particular Oracle version (10g could mean 10.1 or 10.2), it's hard to be more specific.

Stopping the Enterprise Manager Console (Oracle 10g on SuSE 9.1)

I'm trying to stop the Enterprise Manager Console by issuing the command:
${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/emctl stop dbconsole
Unfortunately, the command fails to stop the EM Console. Here's the output I get:
TZ set to US/Pacific
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control Release 10.1.0.2.0

The only way I can stop the EM Console (and related services--i.e., emagent) is to kill its process.
Everything (Listener, DB Instance, EM Console) starts fine. I can stop the Listener and DB Instance without any problems. It's just the EM Console shutdown that doesn't happen cleanly.
Has anyone else encountered the same condition? If so, what was the solution?
Here's my operating environment:

Pivot function in Oracle 10g???

Hello everybody,
at the beginning of the week I had a simple problem (I thought that...), but now after trying and trying, I can't find a solution for it. First of all I'm working on Oracle 10g with the version 10.2.0.4.0. I can't change the version, it's standard in the whole company...
At the beginning I have a table like the following one, but please note, that the compartment, the type and the amount are flexible and can change at any time:
comp type amount
a1 6280 10
a2 6280 20
a2 4810 15
a2 1147 12
a3 6280 33
Now I want the table to look like this:
a1 a2 a3
1147 0 12 0
4810 0 15 0
6280 10 20 33
A simple question in Excel for example, I just use the pivot function and have it fixed within 10seconds. But how can I do sth. like this in Oracle with simple SQL? Or it can be PL/SQL too, cause I will use this in an APEX application.
Can you please give me a hint or a solution? But as stated before a1, a2, a3 are just examples it is possible that tomorrow a4, a5 and so on are coming. If it is necessary I can also create additional tables and views of course!
Thanks for your help!
Regards
hoge

Hi Hoge!
Here is your solution:
SELECT TYPE,
       sum(a1) AS a1,
       sum(a2) AS a2,
       sum(a3) AS a3
FROM (SELECT TYPE,
               decode(comp, 'a1', amount, 0) AS a1,
               decode(comp, 'a2', amount, 0) AS a2,
               decode(comp, 'a3', amount, 0) AS a3
          FROM test)
GROUP BY TYPE
ORDER BY TYPE; And here is my test case setup:
CREATE TABLE test
    (comp VARCHAR2(255),
     TYPE NUMBER,
     amount NUMBER);
INSERT INTO test(comp, TYPE, amount) VALUES('a1', 6280, 10);
INSERT INTO test(comp, TYPE, amount) VALUES('a2', 6280, 20);
INSERT INTO test(comp, TYPE, amount) VALUES('a2', 4810, 15);
INSERT INTO test(comp, TYPE, amount) VALUES('a2', 1147, 12);
INSERT INTO test(comp, TYPE, amount) VALUES('a3', 6280, 33);
commit;Best regards,
Matt
