Export with data length semantics

Hello,
I've following problem.
I have a table abcd which contains 2 VARCHAR2 columns with different data length semantics (one with BYTE, one with CHAR). Charset is Single Byte; let's say WE8MSWIN1252, so data length semantics should not be a problem. should not. details later.
So this would be:
create table abcd (a_char VARCHAR2(2 CHAR), a_byte VARCHAR2(2 BYTE));after that I export the table via exp. I'm not setting NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS environment variable, so BYTE is used.
In the dump file the data length semantics for the byte col is omitted, as I exported it with BYTE:
create table abcd (a_char VARCHAR2(2 CHAR), a_byte VARCHAR2(2));after that, I "accidently" import it with data length semantics set to CHAR, and the table looks like this now
abcd
a_char VARCHAR2(2 CHAR)
a_byte VARCHAR2(2 CHAR)Same happens vice versa when using CHAR for export and BYTE for import...
In single byte charsets this might not be so much of a problem, as one CHAR is equal to one BYTE, but...
If I compile plsql against the original table, and run against the outcoming table after export, I get an ORA-4062, and I have to recompile...
Would not be a problem if the plsql I compile would be on the database...Big problem is that the ORA-4062 occurs in forms, where it's difficult for me to recompile (I would have to transfer all the sources to customer and compile there).
Is there any possibility to export data length semantics regardless which environment variable is set?
database version would be 9.2.0.6; but if there exists a solution in higher versions I would also be happy to hear them...
many thanks,
regards

PS If you have access to Metalink, read Note:144808.1 Examples and limits of BYTE and CHAR semantics usage. From 9i and up, imp doesn't read nls_length_semantics from the environment.

Data Length Semantics?

Dear memebers,
what is Data Length Semantics property of text box?
what's its behavior?
thanks
Muhammad Nadeem
[email protected]

Values CHAR, BYTE, null
Refer to Built-in
GET_ITEM_PROPERTY
Usage Notes
- If a null value is specified, then byte semantics will be used unless the environment variable NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS is set to CHAR when the form is compiled.
- When the Synchronize with Item property is set, DATA_LENGTH_SEMANTICS will be ignored in a subordinate mirror item. The DATA_LENGTH_SEMANTICS property is always taken from the master mirror item. A compiler (generator) warning will be issued if a non-null value is specified in a subordinate mirror item.
- A compiler (generator) warning will also be issued if a non-null value is specified in an item whose datatype is neither CHAR, ALPHA, nor LONG.

Querying CHAR columns with character length semantics unreliable

Hi again,
It appears that there is a bug in the JDBC drivers whereby it is highly unlikely that the values of CHAR columns that use character length semantics can be accurately queried using ResultSet.getString(). Instead, the drivers return the value padded with space (0x#20) characters out to a number of bytes equal to the number of characters multiplied by 4. The number of bytes varies depending on the number and size of any non-ascii characters stored in the column.
For instance, if I have a CHAR(1) column, a value of 'a' will return 'a ' (4 characters/bytes are returned), a value of '\u00E0' will return '\u00E0 ' (3 characters / 4 bytes), and a value of '\uE000' will return '\uE000 ' (2 characters / 4 bytes).
I'm currently using version 9.2.0.3 of the standalone drivers (ojdbc.jar) with JDK 1.4.1_04 on Redhat Linux 9, connecting to Oracle 9.2.0.2.0 running on Solaris.
The following sample code can be used to demonstrate the problem (where the DDL at the top of the file must be executed first):
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
This sample generates another bug in the Oracle JDBC drivers where it is not
possible to query the values of CHAR columns that use character length semantics
and are NOT full of non-ascii characters. The inclusion of the VARCHAR2 column
is just a control.

Export with DATA and DDL

Hi,
in 8i version, I have to export a table with DATA and DDL. I wonder if following Command line is enough or I should add some other option ?
exp sys/***@DB TABLES=MYTABLE file=d:\MYTABLE.dmp
Many thanks.

or I should add some other option ?
exp sys/***@DB TABLES=MYTABLE
file=d:\MYTABLE.dmp Yup, this enough, it will bring DLL for indexes on table MYTABLE as well

Exporting with precise length?

Hey everyone,
Relatively new to Logic, but not a total DAW dummy. The problem I'm having is kind of infuriating but otherwise I love the software.
Basically, I am building 4- and 8-bar loops in Logic at a tempo of 103 BPM. I have uploaded my samples to a beat sequencer and am triggering them via MIDI. I then quantize the samples according to Logic's 103 BPM grid. Once I have a loop of either 4 or 8 bars, I export its track as a WAV file. Under normal circumstances, I then load the WAV file, which should be precisely 4 or 8 bars long at 103 BPM, into my sampling pad (Roland SPD-SX). With the click on the Roland set to 103, I should be able to play the loop and have it repeat indefinitely without it "creeping".
What I described above would be my best-case scenario. Thankfully, this has worked many times for me. In fact, I can double-check that it's working by using the Tempo Match feature on the Roland-- if I tell the Roland that the loop is 8 bars long, it infers that the tempo is 103 based on the length of the WAV. This works perfectly.
Until today. I did my same system as always, exactly as described above, no hitches. But when I load this new loop in the Roland, it creeps and gets ahead. The Tempo Match check? Roland says my loop is 103.4 BPM. I was careful to not make a mistake in Logic; Logic told me it was 103.
I have since tried to make this particular loop 4 or 5 times and it's always the same. The Roland thinks it's at 103.4, which I would assume means that Logic is truncating the length of the export WAV. I don't think the problem is that Logic's metronome is faulty. My ears tell me the samples within the loop are perfectly in time at 103, but at the end of the 8 bars, the loop starts again just a hair early, getting further and further ahead each time the loop recycles. Which sounds very much like Logic is truncating the length of the export WAV.
I called Roland and confirmed the issue is not with the sampling pad. Does anyone know why this is happening now and never happened before, and could someone please tell me how I can be more precise with the export length in Logic so that my pad's Tempo Match feature correctly reads the length of the WAV loop to arrive at 103 (instead of 103.4) BPM?
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time.
Jake

Logic's track export ends the exported file at the end of the audio so that if the last sound ends before the end of the four bars, it will not add the small amount of silence to the end of the file to make it come out even.
Set your left and right locators precicely at the loop start and end (4 or 8 bars), turn cycle on and bounce the loop instead of exporting it.

Select Option with data length more than 45 character

Hi everyone,
Kindly suggest how to use select-option when the data type is of length 128 characters because it is truncating the input after 45 characters. The requirement is to pass 1-7 files in select option input.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Select option doest support STRING data type.
The VISIBLE LENGTH addition is also not working in this case. Also for multiple selection the input length remains the same i.e. 45 characters.
Thanks.

Help on export sybase iq tables with data and import in another database ?

Help on export Sybase iq 16 tables with data and import into another database ?

Hi Nilesh,
If you have table/index create commands (DDLs), you can create them in Developper and import data using one of methods below
Extract/ Load table
Insert location method : require IQ servers to be entered in interfaces file
Backup/Restore : copy entire database content
If you have not the DDLs, you can generate them using IQ cockpit or SCC.

Is it possible to export interactive textfields with data?

Hey guys,
I have following problem. I´m creating our variable price list for our customers. "variable" means an interactive pdf for our customers where they can edit the prices, product discription etc.
I can paginate our catalogue with "Easy Catalogue" including all interactive textfields. It looks like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kn81v9db69dx0a7/screenshot_pagination_incl_interactive_textfield s.png?dl=0
The problem now is, when I export it as an interactive pdf, the data of the textfields will not be exported -> Dropbox - screenshot_exported_interactive_form.png
it`s just blank
Does anybody have a solution for this problem. I need the fields to be preset with the data!
Is it generally possible to export interactive textfields with data?
Any idea is appreciated!
cheers from Austria,
Chris

I´m using Easy Catalog http://www.65bit.com/software/easycatalog/
But I think it has something to do with indesign interactive pdf export properties.
What I also tried:
Converted an ordinary textfield with text into an interactive textfield -> then exported as an interactive pdf -> also blank editable field!

How can i export the data to excel which has 2 tables with same number of columns & column names?

Hi everyone, again landed up with a problem.
After trying a lot to do it myself, finally decided to post here..
I have created a form in form builder 6i, in which on clicking a button the data gets exported to excel sheet.
It is working fine with a single table. The problem now is that i am unable to do the same with 2 tables.
Because both the tables have same number of columns & column names.
Below are 2 tables with column names:
Table-1 (MONTHLY_PART_1)
Table-2 (MONTHLY_PART_2)
SL_NO
SL_NO
COMP
COMP
DUE_DATE
DUE_DATE
U-1
U-1
U-2
U-2
U-4
U-4
U-20
U-20
U-25
U-25
Since both the tables have same column names, I'm getting the following error :
Error 402 at line 103, column 4
alias required in SELECT list of cursor to avoid duplicate column names.
So How can i export the data to excel which has 2 tables with same number of columns & column names?
Should i paste the code? Should i post this query in 'SQL and PL/SQL' Forum?
Help me with this please.
Thank You.

You'll have to *alias* your columns, not prefix it with the table names:

How to export some data from the tables of an owner with integrity?

Hi to all,
How to export some data from the tables of an owner with integrity?
I want to bring some data from all tables in a single owner of the production database for development environment.
My initial requirements are: seeking information on company code (emp), contract status (status) and / or effective date of contract settlement (dt_liq_efetiva) - a small amount of data to developers.
These three fields are present in the main system table (the table of contracts). Then I thought about ...
- create a temporary table from the query results table to contract;
- and then use this temporary table as a reference to fetch the data in other tables of the owner while maintaining integrity. But how? I have not found the answer, because: what to do when not there is the possibility of a join between the contract and any other table?
I am considering the possibility of consulting the names of tables, foreign keys and columns above, and create dynamic SQL. Conceptually, something like:
select r.constraint_name "FK name",
r.table_name "FK table",
r.column_name "FK column",
up.constraint_name "Referencing name",
up.table_name "Referencing table",
up.column_name "Referencing column"
from all_cons_columns up
join all_cons_columns r
using (owner, position), (select r.owner,
r.constraint_name fk,
r.table_name table_fk,
r.r_constraint_name r,
up.table_name table_r
from all_constraints up, all_constraints r
where r.r_owner = up.owner
and r.r_constraint_name = up.constraint_name
and up.constraint_type in ('P', 'U')
and r.constraint_type = 'R'
and r.owner = 'OWNERNAME') aux
where r.constraint_name = aux.fk
and r.table_name = aux.table_fk
and up.constraint_name = aux.r
and up.table_name = aux.table_r;
-- + Dynamic SQL
If anyone has any suggestions and / or reuse code to me thank you very much!
After resolving this standoff intend to mount the inserts in utl_file by a table and create another program to read and play in the development environment.

Thanks, Peter.
Well, I am working with release 9.2.0.8.0. But the planning is migrate to 10g this year. So my questions are:
With Data Pump can export data just from tables owned for me (SCHEMAS = MYOWNER) parameterizing the volume of data (SAMPLE) and filters to table (QUERY), right? But parameterizing a contract table QUERY = "WHERE status NOT IN (2,6) ORDER BY contract ":
1º- the Data Pump automatically searches for related data in other tables in the owner? ex. parcel table has X records related (fk) with Y contracts not in (2,6): X * SAMPLE records will be randomly exported?
2º- for the tables without relation (fk) and which are within the owner (MYOWNER) the data is exported only based on the parameter SAMPLE?
Once again, thank you,
Philips

Transferring data to a flat file with a length greater than 255 bytes??

Is there a way to do this? At the end of the month, my dataset will reach a length of anywhere between 271 and 335. Even though I have the transfer field setup with a length of 512, I am only getting 255 characters worth of data when I pull the flat file in from the server.
Has anyone discovered a way to handle this? I cannot break the record up into blocks of 255, the Transfer has to be able to handle something greater than a length of 255.
Many Thanks!

Videos in iPhoto used to export with correct date, no they don't.

Hello, I use iPhoto a lot. About every 6 months I rename and export my photos and videos to a separate portable hard drive for safe storage.
I am doing that right now, but have noticed that my videos do not export with the correct date (changes the date to the export date), and therefore the videos are not going to be in the right order, and will not have the correct date on my backup files. The pictures export properly with correct date. Just the videos are the problem.
This problem did not exist before. What has changed? Is there a way to export my videos and retain the correct date again?
Thank you!

Thank you for the quick reply Terence!
Is this something new for Maverick, or new iPhoto update? I have always been able to export video with the correct date. Even when I imported it back into iPhoto later, the correct date was there. I think I updated to Maverick after my last renaming and exporting session.
I have found that if I drag the video from iPhoto to my desktop, it keeps the correct date on the file and the video is intact. So there must be some sort of "metadata" in the file that has the correct date?? You probably have the knowledge to experiment with this??
Just seems weird, because for years it was just fine. Now it is not.
How did the videos used to keep the correct date?
Thank you.

Using expdp to export a mix of tables with data and tables without data

Hi,
I would like to create a .dmp file using expdp, exporting a set of tables with data and another set without data. Is there a way to do this in a single .dmp file? For example, I want all the tables in a schema with data, but for the fact tables in that schema, I only want the fact table objects, not the data. I thought it might be easier to create two separate .dmp files, one for each scenario, but would be nice to have one .dmp file that satisfies my requirement. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
-Rodolfo

You could do this with where clauses. Let's say you have 10 tables to export, 5 with data and 5 without data. I would do it like this
tab1_w_data
tab2_w_data
tab3_w_data
tab4_w_data
tab5_w_data
tab1_wo_data
tab2_wo_data
tab3_wo_data
tab4_wo_data
tab5_wo_data
I would make one generic query
query="where rownum = 0"
and I would make 5 specific queries
query=tab1_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
query=tab2_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
query=tab3_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
query=tab4_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
query=tab5_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
The first query will be applied to all tables that don't have their own specific query and it will export no rows, the next 5 will apply to each of the corresponding table.

Export Of Data In The .CSV Format With Column Headings On Top

I'm trying to export data in the .csv format from a report (Crystal Reports XI Release 2). When I export the data, the heading appears in the first few columns on the left hand side (i.e. columns "A" thru "G") for every row, rather as a column heading on top. These header describe the data beneath it. I tried various combinations of export options. The file needs an extension .csv (or .xls) for the tool that uses the data. Any suggestions how I can accomplish this ?

Abhishek,
I tried to apply your solution, but forgot that the Crystal Reports support desk updated my version of Crystal Reports XI to Release 2 for a previous problem. My CDs are Crystal Reports XI Release 1. Now I can't export at all until I figure out how to turn on the export option. I do have access to older version (version unknown) that came with one of business system. The options it has are "Character", "Tab", and "Delimeter" for "Separated Values (CSV)". It does not have the option that you mentioned. Is there a similar option with this older version ? Lastly, How can I turn on the "Export" for "Crystal Reports XI Release 2" ? Thanks ! ! !
