Error in result of To_Char function.

Hi,
My name is Ramanujulu, I was practicing Date functions and found one error in one of the To_Char functions.
Please assume the sysdate as 19th Decmber 2006. (I used this date in example)
SQL> select to_char(sysdate-7, 'ddspth-month-syear') from dual;
TO_CHAR(SYSDATE-7,'DDSPTH-MONTH-SYEAR')
twelfth-december - two thousand six
It returns the 12th as twelfth. (Additional letter F). Who will correct this and how do i make this change in my Database.
Please let me know how to correct this.
Thanks,
Ramanujulu B.

Unusual result with TO_CHAR function on a date

Can anybody explain to me why I see two different results if I use the following SQL in PL/SQL Developer (Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0)? I'm not sure if I have a wrong setting in Oracle or PL/SQL Developer, or if I'm just misunderstanding how the TO_CHAR function works. Many thanks.
select sysdate, to_char(sysdate, 'dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss') as FORMATTED_DATE from dual
Results:
SYSDATE
10/02/2009 16:52:32
FORMATTED_DATE
10/02/2009 04:02:32

select sysdate, to_char(sysdate, 'dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss') as FORMATTED_DATE from dual
Results:
SYSDATE
10/02/2009 16:52:32
FORMATTED_DATE
10/02/2009 04:02:32It should not be -> mm it should be mi .
Got me?

This seems to be your specific network configuration. It seems that your corporate network is blocking HTTPS requests which don't use port 443. Your ABAP system is configured to use a port other than 443. Either talk to your basis admins about changing your ABAP system configuration to use port 443 or talk to your network administrators to allow whichever port the ABAP system is running on.

Need help in to_char function

Hi All,
I'm using below sql query to get sysdate with time stamp.
select to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMMDD HH24:MM:SS') from dual
This gives me below result: 20130816 05:08:49
Strangely, when I keep on running the same query, I notice after 60 seconds are complete, time stamp starts with 20130816 05:08:01 again.
Am i missing something here..
Thanks in advance

Keep a simple thing in mind. Date stored in the DB does not have any format. Format need to be applied while you display. The default date format is specified by the NLS_DATE_FORMAT parameter. You have used TO_CHAR to display date in a specific format. But the problem is that you have converted DATE into string. So if its just for display purpose then set the NLS_DATE_FORMAT, do not use TO_CHAR.
With respect to your issue You need to represent Minute as MI. You have represented it as MM (Month) That's why you see 08 always.
" the problem is that you have converted DATE into string"
No, the problem was that he was explicitly using an incorrect format mask, specifying months where he should have specified minutes.
The problem inherently cannot be the result of converting a DATE into a string. Dates are always converted to strings for presentation, either implicitly by using the controlling setting of NLS_DATE_FORMAT (which can be set at several levels) or explicitly by using the to_char function. Oracle will always convert. It has to. Internally, a date is binary gibberish. But computer screens and printers can only show strings of characters, so the DATE will be converted to a character string, by hook or by crook. And the method of oracle making that conversion is exactly the same. The only thing that varies is how the user chooses to make that specification. And "not choosing" (by not using the to_char function) is still choosing ... choosing to rely on nls_date_format.

To_char function help

Hi All,
I have run this query in my oracle database
SELECT
J.NAME,
(CASE J.STATUS WHEN 'Completed' THEN COUNT(J.STATUS) ELSE 0 END) CURRENT_MONTH_COMPLETE,
(CASE J.STATUS WHEN 'Pending for Process Engine' THEN COUNT(J.STATUS) ELSE 0 END) CURRENT_MONTH_IN_PROGRESS
FROM
CMN_SCH_JOBS_V J
WHERE
J.STATUS IN ('Completed','Pending for Process Engine') AND J.LANGUAGE_CODE='en'
and to_char(J.START_DATE,MM')=12
GROUP BY J.NAME,J.STATUS;I have a doubt regarding this
to_char(J.START_DATE,MM')=12Basically to_char() function returns a string value, but when it is equated against a numeric value oracle should raise an error right, this query is running fine. Please tell why this is happening.
Regards
Praveen Vuppalapati

What a strange query. I'd expect it to be either:
SELECT
J.NAME,
J.STATUS
COUNT(*)
FROM
CMN_SCH_JOBS_V J
WHERE
J.STATUS IN ('Completed','Pending for Process Engine') AND J.LANGUAGE_CODE='en'
and to_char(J.START_DATE,MM')=12
GROUP BY J.NAME,J.STATUS;... or ...
SELECT
J.NAME,
SUM(CASE J.STATUS WHEN 'Completed' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) CURRENT_MONTH_COMPLETE,
SUM(CASE J.STATUS WHEN 'Pending for Process Engine' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) CURRENT_MONTH_IN_PROGRESS
FROM
CMN_SCH_JOBS_V J
WHERE
J.STATUS IN ('Completed','Pending for Process Engine') AND J.LANGUAGE_CODE='en'
and to_char(J.START_DATE,'MM')=12
GROUP BY J.NAME;Ought to wrap the to_char() in a to_number as well, really.

Using the result of a function, inside a subselect

Hi!
I´m wondering if it´s possible to use the result of a function inside a subselect. Let me give you an example of what I´m trying to do here:
select * from t_node where node_pk in (get_node_parents_pk(22345));
The function get_node_parents_pk stands in for the following SELECT-statment:
select node_pk from t_node_child where parent_node_pk = 12345
The statement above would return something like this: 12435,23423,23453,23452
These values represent the node_pk value for the parent nodes.
I want the get_node_parents_pk function to return a result set similar to this so that I might call it inside the IN ( ) statement.
Any clue? =)

I created a collection type in the database:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE nodes_pk_arr IS TABLE OF INTEGER;
The function get_node_parents_pk () is made to return the collection type above. However, this does not work. I get the following error message:
SELECT *
FROM t_node
WHERE node_pk IN
(SELECT * FROM TABLE (get_node_parents_pk (22345)));
ORA-22905: cannot access rows from a non-nested table item
However, if I insert a nodes_pk_arr collection directly into the SQL-statement, like I do below, it works:
SELECT *
FROM t_node
WHERE node_pk IN
(SELECT * FROM TABLE (nodes_pk_arr(24564,23545,34523));
So, when returning the collection from the function I´m told that the collection is not a nested table, when in fact it is. What gives?
Also, is there no way to return a result set directly from the get_node_parents_pk() function, making it possible to write the statement like that shown below?
SELECT *
FROM t_node
WHERE node_pk IN (get_node_parents_pk (22345));
Your reply is much appreciated!
Kind regards
Robert

What is the problem? What am I doing wrong?

Mal,
I think that need to provide more information about what you are doing when you get this error. This appears to be a LV error.
1)What version of LV are you using? What are you doing in TestStand when you get this error?
2)Is your TestStand sequence calling a VI from which this error is generated? If so what is this VI doing?
3)Can you isolate the source of this error to a particular VI that is using queues?
4)How often does the error occur?
5)The path of Queue Core.vi is \vi.lib\Platform\synch.llb\Queue Core.vi. Can you put some probes on the input of this VI to determine what inputs are causing this error? What are all of the inputs to this VI when the error occurs?
6)Is queue being created or destroyed? Is an element being added or removed from a que
ue?
7)Is this your queue or a queue used by one of LV's VIs?
Unless someone has had this exact error, then it is going to be difficult to debug without more information. Clearly, the problem is easiest to solve if it is reproducible by others.

Trouble getting a timestamp formatted by a 'to_char' function

We have trouble getting a timestamp formatted by a 'to_char' function and a 'group by'
for a count. By assigning the result of the to_char function to an attribute and
grouping on that attribute, we try to get the frequency of an event.
What happens is a non predictable 'IllegalArgumentException' on
'Timestamp.class' while getting the timestampvalue.
We make use of a scrollablecursor as you can see in the stacktrace.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Timestamp format must be yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.fffffffff
at java.sql.Timestamp.valueOf(Timestamp.java:160)

at oracle.toplink.queryframework.ScrollableCursor.loadNext(ScrollableCursor.java:357)
at oracle.toplink.queryframework.ScrollableCursor.hasNext(ScrollableCursor.java:233)
After restarting the application server there is a chance that the query returns
with the expected results. But most of the times it just returns the above
mentioned exception.
I don't see the logic in the apparently random parsing of the value.
The column in the database is a timestamp, but that the reason why i'm using the
to_char method.

This is a bug in TopLink with ReportQuery. Please report this is Oracle technical support. Basically TopLink is converting to the attribute type, but should not be if a function was applied to the expression.
To workaround the issue you can use getField(/) in the expression instead of get(/) (using the database field name instead of the class attribute name).

TO_CHAR Function Format Argument Limit

I was curious if there is a limitation to the length of the string used as the Format argument in the TO_CHAR Function? If so, how long is it?

I couldn't find it in the documentation, but it appears at first glance to be 63 for numbers with a simple format mask. You could experiment with the others:-
SQL>

3     v2 VARCHAR2(32767);

6        BEGIN
7           v1 := v1 || '9';
8           SELECT TO_CHAR(1,v1) INTO v2 FROM dual;
9        EXCEPTION

14                 );
15              RETURN;

Error while determining the form function module

Hi everyone,
We are experiencing problems while displaying one adobe form in ESS. Its the Travel Expense form (PTRV_EXPENSE_FORM). When pressing the button to Display/Print the form we get an error message: "Error while determining the form function module", and no form I shown. The ADS server is configured correctly and there are other forms that are actually working, for example the Travel Request form. We are running WAS 7.0 with SP12.
Anyone has an idea what can cause the problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Error in import/export of functions - for the apex team

After exporting functions, the import gives an error.
Reason :
the export generates a script with
function \
function
importing this script gives an error because only the first function is imported. or the functions seems to be togheter one function
the export should generate
function
function
Leo

Leo - I logged into your workspace and exported the functions. The generated script looks perfectly good. I then uploaded that file into my own workspace and ran the script. The functions were all created as separate functions.
There must be something happening at your end causing newline characters in the file to be lost or something. Or maybe I didn't follow exactly the steps you did.
BTW, when you mentioned the "\" character in your original post, I assumed you meant the "/" character.
