Fixed length retrieval using JDBC

Hi All,
I am wondering if there is an api where I can manipulate the result of a preparedstatement query.
I am using a standard JDBC Connection to query against an oracle database. The particular column I retrieve is a decimal and can vary in length (i.e. 0.1, 125.005, 20.51..etc.) What I need is a fixed length of 12 places before the decimal, and 6 places after the decimal.
So for my above examples:
0.1 should be 000000000000.100000
125.005 should be 000000000125.005000
20.51 should be 000000000020.510000
Is there an easy way of doing this after I get the result back? The result is a String. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks

So, you want to convert a number to a String. Use a DecimalFormat object to do that.

I would like to know if it is possible to export from Crystal Enterprise 10 to a fixed length text file similar to the text exporting option using Crystal Reports 8.5. From Enterprise 10 I see you can export to Rich Text Format but that is not really the same.

Fixed Length records using SQL

hi , using the following code in a file that generates an output file with a fixed length 300 character lines.
SPOOL C:\PHONE_SAMPLE.OUT;
SET HEADING OFF;
SET PAGES 0;
SET ECHO OFF;
SELECT rpad(CONTACT_ID,15),rpad(PHONE1,15),rpad(PHONE2,15),rpad(PHONE3,15),rpad(PHONE4,15),rpad(PHONE5,15),rpad(PHONE6,15)
,rpad(CALLSEQ,6),rpad(NDCALLSEQ,6),rpad(LANG,3),rpad(FIRST,25),rpad(LAST,25),rpad(CONCODE,10),rpad(EMAIL,30),rpad(TXTMSG,20),rpad(WVEND,20),
rpad(APPTSTART,14),rpad(APPTEND,14),rpad(APPTTYPE,10),rpad(APPTLOCTION,10),rpad(FILLER,1)||'\n'
FROM PHONE_SAMPLE;
SPOOL OFF;
After I run this I get my data and the following below - my end of Character line, and then "22 rows selected" - How do I remove the 22 rows selected. and stop at \n. Any help appreciated.
Is it a set command I am missing ?
\n
22 rows selected.

Hi,
SET FEEDBACK OFF
And you don't need SET HEADING OFF when you have SET PAGES 0
And you don't need to end SET commands with ';' since they are SQL*Plus commands

Help with FIXED LENGTH columns - using spool command

Hi guys,
I have a view I am trying to spool using fixed length columns, and the spacing is off. Ive tried numerous things such as specifiying the column width before running the query, using the rpad command, but nothing seems to work. I have to spool it to a text file in order for the users to import this file into another system. I would welcome any and all suggestions. Thanks so much. The following is the view:
SELECT "EMPLOYEE_ID","FIRST NAME","INITIAL","LAST NAME","SUFFIX","TRAINING DATE","Course ID","Class ID", "We", "Make / Model", "Cali", "Barrell", "Serial Number", "Qualification", "Application", "SCORE", "Status", "Add Time", "Record Add ID","Record Add Date","Record Change ID","Record Change Date","RN" FROM
(SELECT
UPPER(RPAD(tbl.ssn,10)) AS "EMPLOYEE_ID",
UPPER(RPAD('',12)) AS "FIRST NAME",
UPPER(RPAD('',1)) AS "INITIAL",
UPPER(RPAD('',20)) AS "LAST NAME",
UPPER(RPAD('',5)) AS "SUFFIX",
UPPER(RPAD(to_char(QUALDATE, 'mmddyyyy'),8)) AS "TRAINING DATE",
UPPER(RPAD('P123',8)) AS "Course ID",
UPPER(RPAD('',6)) AS "Class ID",

where scores.id_number=tbl.id_number
and qualyear='2010' and coursecode='SA'
order by employee_id)
where rn =1

Hi,
You RPAD doesn't do anything, since they are same as:
SQL> SELECT NULL AS "Record Add ID",
2         NULL AS "Record Add Date",
3         NULL AS "Record Change ID",
4         NULL AS "Record Change Date" FROM DUAL;
R R R R
SQL>Can't see why COLUMN command shouldn't do what you want. Maybe you forgot the double quotes?
SQL> COL "Record Add ID" FOR a18
SQL> COL "Record Add Date" FOR a18
SQL>
SQL> SELECT NULL AS "Record Add ID",
2         NULL AS "Record Add Date",
3         NULL AS "Record Change ID",
4         NULL AS "Record Change Date" FROM DUAL;
Record Add ID      Record Add Date    R R
SQL>P.S: You probably shouldn't set a column width which is smaller than the header length

Handling any query using JDBC ?

Hi there,
I was wondering if their actually exist a way of handling/processing any SELECT statement a user would enter.
ex: the user enter SELECT * FROM SCOTT.EMP;
Is it possible to retrieve using JDBC teh metadata associated with "*" ?
any help would be welcome.
Regards
Eric.

When you get back the result of a query in JDBC you get a ResultSet object.
Off of that you can obtain a ResultSetMetaData object which fully describes the result set - column names, types, scale and precision, etc. You can use that for dynamic processing of your result set, for example if you wanted to display it in a table.

Retrieving sdo_geometry using JDBC

Hi all. I have a simple program running in JDeveloper using JDBC for retrieving SDO_Geometry values from various spatial tables. The program works fine but when I run SQL statements in order to retrieve the geometry columns from the spatial tables the program is returning the sdo_geometry values in an oracle.sql.STRUCT format. For example if I set up the following SQL query to retrieve an sdo_geometry column from a table states, it returns the results below:
spatialQuery = "select a.geom from states a;"
oracle.sql.STRUCT@e2dae9,
oracle.sql.STRUCT@19209ea,
oracle.sql.STRUCT@c8f6f8,
oracle.sql.STRUCT@1ce2dd4,
oracle.sql.STRUCT@122cdb6,
I know the program works but I am lost in understanding these results. Can anyone tell me how to interpret these results or even how to translate them into a more useful format. All I want is the sdo_geometry values back!
Cheers Joe

If you scroll to the top of the page in the link posted previously you'll read the following
Some DatabaseMetaData methods take arguments that are String patterns. These arguments all have names such as fooPattern. Within a pattern String, "%" means match any substring of 0 or more characters, and "_" means match any one character. Only metadata entries matching the search pattern are returned. If a search pattern argument is set to null, that argument's criterion will be dropped from the search.

Store, Retrieve and Display picture or video to/from DB2 using JDBC

I need an idea for implementing the"Store, Retrieve, Display Image/Video" concept in JDBC. My Database is DB2. I could not get proper info from google.
Thanks and Regards

1. Figure out how to display image/video
2. Figure out how to encode/decode a image/video into a byte array
3. Design a database suitable for your application that stores blobs
4. Figure out how to use JDBC to store/retrieve blobs via byte arrays.
Steps 1 and 2 have nothing to do with this forum (nor GUI code). There is at least on forum on this site that deals with questions about that.
Steps 3 is only somewhat related to this forum. A DB2 forum would be best.
Step 4 is the only part of this that is specific to this forum. And if you have not used any JDBC then you first start with the tutorial or some other suitable method to learn how JDBC works before attempting blobs.

Retrieving data from Microsoft Access using JDBC

I noticed that when i tried retrieving data from Microsoft access using JDBC, I realised that it was throwing SQLException when the column names were two word with spaces between them, e.g. Date Birth. But after i removed the space from the column names, my SQL queries were retrieving data. Was it because of the space in between the column names of the table?

Yeah, as far as I know having two word column names isn't allowed in SQL. There might be some way to escape it, but generally it's sensible to avoid it.

How do you retrieve a Collection of objects using JDBC?

How do you retrieve a Collection of objects using JDBC.
MORE INFO:
I have created a class i.e. Account class and I want to retrieve all the accounts previously created for accounts in my Mysql database..
my method would retrieve an array of Account instances in the database i.e.
public Vector retrieveAccounts();

Connection con = null;
ArrayList accounts = new ArrayList();
try{
con = DriverManager.getConnection(...);
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("select * from accounts");
Resultset rs = ps.executeQuery();
while (rs.next()) {
    Account account = new Account(rs.getString(1), rs.getString(2), ...);
    accounts.add(account);
Account[] account_array = new Account[accounts.size()];
accounts.toArray(account_array);
catch (SQLException sqle) {
   sqle.printStackTrace();
finally {
if (con != null) {
    con.close();
}should pretty much to what you want, you will obviously need to change it so that, a) the SQL query is correct and b) the Account class is correct and c) the correct values are taken from the result set to create an account.

Is there a way to retrieve data from database wihout using JDBC while using JPDK?

Hi,
I want to create a portlet using JPDK with extra render modes and edit/Edit defaults mode too. The detail and show renderer mode jsp's/servlets render data from database. Based on the personalized paramter, the data rendered in detail and show mode will be obtained from database.
The articles in the PDK zip asks not to use JDBC for security vulnerability. Does that mean , I should not use JDBC to connect to db to get data. If not, what should I use ? How do I connect to database ? Is there any class which helps to connect to db without using JDBC ?
thanks,
Mainak

I'm not sure what articles you are refering to, because there is no other way to access a database from a java program. Generally, security related docs tend to be a little paranoid (and so they should be), but you have to balance high security against getting the job done.
Obviously, if using JDBC, you need to be careful about protecting your config files because they will contain connection information.

Retrieving Schema details from any database using JDBC.

Hi,
We are in a process of developing a tool to extract the schema level details from any database. Following are the areas where we are facing difficulties. Please give us your valuable comments.
1.How can I get all the depending views of a particular table or vice- versa ?
2.If there is a join view in my database.How can i get the information
for all the join columns?
3. suppose the view in the database is built using some select and omit
Clause. how can I get those conditions using JDBC ?
4.for a viewcolumn , how can I find out, it refers to which column of
a table ?
5.For a table how can I get the information about its unique
constraints and check constraints
6.How can I check , a constraint is enabled or disabled on any table?
I will appreciate your response.

1.How can I get all the depending views of a

3. suppose the view in the database is built using
some select and omit
Clause. how can I get those conditions using JDBC
BC ?see 1)
4.for a viewcolumn , how can I find out, it refers to
which column of a table ?see 1)
5.For a table how can I get the information about its
unique constraints and check constraintsThe DatabaseMetadata object can return that information
6.How can I check , a constraint is enabled or
disabled on any table?I don't think that this is possible with JDBC (not sure
if that information is returned from the DatabaseMetadata
object). You will need to code something DBMS specific
I think there is something with deferred constraints which
can be checked by JDBC but I'm not sure about that either
