Formattin a varchar2(240) column

hi,
I need help with formatting a column varchar2(240) where it contains data like the following:
+1. OSP FIBER ACCESSORY-CLOSURE-FIBER-48 F-CAPITAL-NONE-NONE+
+2. OSP PVC-PVC PIPE-NONE-50 M.M-CAPITAL-NONE-NONE+
+3. OSP PVC ACCESSORY-BEND PIPE-BEND PIPE 90 DGREE-100 M.M-CAPITAL-NONE-NONE+
+4. Work manship+
I need to format the column in a select statement in such a way that it excludes the the last three -CAPITAL-NONE-NONE when the column contains them.
The table is from oracle inventory:
APPS.PO_LINES
Any idea?

Ie. your RTRIM solution and a more concise RTRIM solution both give the same wrong answer, whereas the regexp_substr gives the correct answer:
with t as (select 'FIBER-48 DICPITAL-CAPITAL-NONE-NONE' str from dual union all

        regexp_replace(str,'-[[:alpha:]]*-NONE-NONE$') new_str3
from t;
STR                                 NEW_STR                             NEW_STR2                            NEW_STR3

Execute immediate of Anonymous pl/sql block stored in a VARCHAR2 DB Column

Hi Guys,
I really hope someone can help me with this.

            AND    m.ACTIVITY_ID(+) = a.ACTIVITY_ID

begin
for each_row in c_activity loop
l_my_val := l_my_val || ', ' || each_row.value1;
end loop;
:l_value := ltrim (l_my_val, ', ');
end; The code is select out of the database and assigned to a local variable within my pl/sql package. The following code should demonstrate what I'm trying to achieve:

execute immediate l_sql using out :l_value;
dbms_output.put_line(l_value);
end;It works perfectly. Notice I have used the q syntax when embedding the sql directly into the package.
I have tried
- appending the q syntax directly to query_sql stored in the database
- escaping the quotes i.e. ' become ''
Neither method seem to work. We are running 10.2.0.2 on Windows Server 2003. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear from you as this has me stumped.

If you do:
declare
l_sql varchar2(32767);
l_value varchar2(32767);
begin
select query_sql into l_sql from lov where lov_id = 100;
dbms_output.put_line(l_sql);
end;
You'll see something like that:
SELECT
l.DESCRIPTION || decode(l2.DESCRIPTION,null,'',l2.description, '-' || l2.description) || decode(a.DT,'Y',' - Distributed Training','N',null,null) as value1
FROM ACTIVITY a
,MOUNTAINEERING m

AND a.SPECIFIC_ACTIVITY_LOV_ID = l.LOV_ID
AND m.ACTIVITY_ID(+) = a.ACTIVITY_ID
AND m.CLASSIFICATION_LOV_ID = l2.LOV_ID(+);
you need to duplicate the '
you can do many things like:

C
select first_name || ' ' || last_name as value1 from employees where rownum=1

Updating a varchar2(1) column

hi,
i need to update load_status_cd, a varchar2(1) column with ' 0 ' based on a condition as below..
Which of the following way is the right choice to use?
UPDATE master_adrs_rate_center_xref a
SET a.load_status_cd =
SELECT 0 FROM master_address b
WHERE
a.mast_pri_address_id = b.mast_pri_address_id
AND a.row_modify_dt < b.last_update_date
UPDATE master_adrs_rate_center_xref a
SET a.load_status_cd = '0'
where exists(
SELECT 1 FROM
master_address b
WHERE
a.mast_pri_address_id = b.mast_pri_address_id
AND a.row_modify_dt < b.last_update_date);

Second is the correct query.
First query will update wrong. It will update 0 for the records where your join condition is met and for the remaining records it will update NULL which will be totally wrong. With the introduction of where clause, your first query would be perfect
UPDATE master_adrs_rate_center_xref a
SET a.load_status_cd =
SELECT 0 FROM master_address b
WHERE
a.mast_pri_address_id = b.mast_pri_address_id
AND a.row_modify_dt < b.last_update_date
where exists
SELECT 0 FROM master_address b
WHERE
a.mast_pri_address_id = b.mast_pri_address_id
AND a.row_modify_dt < b.last_update_date
)

Advice on creating VARCHAR2(4000) columns

Hi there
I've a question regarding table(s) design. Following is a table, which has about 10,000 rows.
As you can see there are two VARCHAR2(2000) columns.
All rows have these columns with data which are always "full" (avglength = 2000).
CREATE TABLE L_PROC
NUM NUMBER(9) NOT NULL,
TEC VARCHAR2(10 BYTE) NOT NULL,
ATE DATE NOT NULL,
PRO NUMBER(4) NOT NULL,
NPR NUMBER(7) NOT NULL,
DOC NUMBER(2) DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
COC NUMBER(2) DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
FOC NUMBER(2) DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
SIT CHAR(1 BYTE) NOT NULL,
EST CHAR(1 BYTE) DEFAULT 'A' NOT NULL,
DEN DATE NOT NULL,
SOL NUMBER(9) NOT NULL,
LOC VARCHAR2(80 BYTE),
CEE NUMBER(3),
CTE VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
DEC NUMBER(2) DEFAULT null,
DIA VARCHAR2(2000 BYTE),
RES VARCHAR2(2000 BYTE),
OUT VARCHAR2(80 BYTE),
NTS VARCHAR2(80 BYTE),
ETS VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),
DAL TIMESTAMP(6) NOT NULL
When record is created in table, DIA is always filled. Then RES will be updated later.
Now end-users ask for modification which consists in alter these two column to VARCHAR2(4000).
I'm thinking on create these two columns in a separated table (perhaps using blob or clob), but I'd like to have some advice on this.
I'm a bit worried about chained rows.
Can you help me on this ? What solution do you think is better ?
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Helena

Replying to Maurice questions:
do you mostly access your table via index or full table scan?
mostly via index
how many rows do you access when you execute a select against this table?
using users criteria the first step is to perform a select count(*) using that criteria; table data is displayed to the user if the result of count(*) is <= 100 rows
how often do you query the RES and DIA columns?
never queried, but always displayed; that means never used in WHERE clauses
how often are inserts and updates executed against this table?
about 100/day inserts and the same number of updates (which are performed by another user later)
which is you DB block size?
16 KB
which is the average sizes of the columns RES and DIA?
1900 (will probably increase +1000 chars)
do you have currently any kind of performance bottleneck (IO/CPU)?
not yet...

Display checkbox for VARCHAR2(1) column

Hi, I'm getting all of my stupid questions out this week...
I have a table with a VARCHAR2(1) column that I restrict to 'Y' or NULL to make a boolean/flag column.
How do I get JDeveloper/ADF to treat this as a boolean column and display a checkbox?
In Oracle Designer you could flag the field as boolean and the value 'Y' as checked. Not sure how to do this in JDeveloper.

Gordon,
All stupid questions are welcome if they are properly specified ;)
In your case Create an EO/VO. Attach it to a AM. A Data Control will be created. YOu can then use the attribute in your page and dispaly it as a selectBooleanCheckBox.
Google for how to create EO/VO/AM and Data Control.

Compare a varchar2 segment column with a date column

Dear All ,
i have a segment column with datatype varchar2 with data sample like '2013/06/09 00:00:00' , i want to compare this column with date column
i tried many ways of conversion but not working like
select to_date(TO_NCHAR(substr('2013/06/09 00:00:00',1,11),'DD-MM-YY'))DATE_C from dual ---> giving invalid number
select TO_TIMESTAMP(TO_NCHAR(substr('2013/06/09 00:00:00',1,11),'DD-MM-YY'))DATE_C from dual ---> giving invalid number
can i have any suggestion for that please
thanks & best regards

Hi,
Have you tried:
SELECT TO_DATE(SUBSTR('2013/06/09 00:00:00',1,10),'YYYY/MM/DD') DATE_C FROM dual

Range check for numeric values in varchar2 type column

SQL oracle 10g windows XP
I have a table which has column of type varchar2 e.g
create table osa_gms_mailbox(reg_address varchar2(60),bin_address varchar2(60));
let us insert some sample rows:
insert into osa_gms_mailbox values ('8000','8000');
insert into osa_gms_mailbox values ('9000','9000');
insert into osa_gms_mailbox values ('[email protected]','[email protected]');
If i try to run the query :
select reg_address from (
select reg_address from osa_gms_mailbox
MINUS
select reg_address from osa_gms_mailbox where
regexp_like(reg_address,'^[a-z]+|[A-Z]+$')) temp
where to_number(temp.reg_address) between 1000 and 10000;
or
select reg_address from (
select reg_address from osa_gms_mailbox
MINUS
select reg_address from osa_gms_mailbox where
regexp_like(reg_address,'^[a-z]+|[A-Z]+$'))
where to_number(reg_address) between 1000 and 10000;
it gives ORA-01722: invalid number .
how can i get the numeric comparision done for varchar2 field and exclude the rows which have atleast one alphabet (a-z,A-Z)
Thanks

How to create the same data from SQL PL/SQL?
INSERT INTO AR_COLLECTORS (ALIAS) VALUES ( ???

I'm not quite sure what you are asking here. DUMP is a function that shows the internal representation of the data stored in a field or variable. You do not need to store the DUMP values explicitly, they are derived from your actual data. If, for some inexplicable reason, you want to store the output of the DUMP command in another table, then you can do something like
CREATE TABLE dumpvals (real_value VARCHAR2(400), dump_value VARCHAR2(4000));
INSERT INTO dumpvals
SELECT column,DUMP(column,8)
FROM table;
or, in PL/SQL
BEGIN
   FOR r in (SELECT column tval,DUMP(column,8) dval
             FROM table) LOOP
      INSERT INTO dumpvals
      VALUES(r.tval,r.dval);
   END LOOP;
END;If you can give a fuller explanation of what you are looking for, perhaps someone could give a better answer.

Range Partitioning on Varchar2 column???

We hava table and it has a date column and its type is varchar2.
This column's format is '16021013' ('ddmmyyyy').
We want to make range partition on this column. What will be the best way?
do you think virtal column partitioning will be efficient?

>
I'm not a new DBA:-) You can be sure. I asked only about range partitioning trick with varchar2 column because we did our examination about this table. We will need to archive this table quarter by quarter to the other archive database. Then, off course, nearly all queries are coming firstly by using this date column and they can have different filtering inside "where" conditions. Already, this table has index on this column but with huge number of data, index performance is not enough for us. This is a 7x24 banking system and we are lately joined to this project. Because of this, we cant change everything like changing data type of that column after this moment.
>
You are taking things way too personally. No one said anything about whether you were, or were not, a DBA or made any other comments about your skill or abilities.
What we ask was for you to tell us WHAT the problem was that you were trying to solve and WHY you thought partitioning would solve it.
And now, after several generic posts, you have finally provided that information. We can only comment based on the information that you post. We can't guess as to what types of queries you use or what kinds of predicates you use in those queries. But we need to know that information in order to provide the best advice.
Next time you post put the important information in your original question:
1. A table column is VARCHAR2 but contains a date value. We are unable to change the datatype of this column.
2. We need to archive data quarterly based on this date value
3. Nearly all queries use this date value and then also may have additional filter conditions
4. This date column is indexed but we would like to improve the performance beyond what this index can give us.
The above is a summary that includes all important information that is needed to know how best to help you.
And I made a pretty good guess since two replies ago I provided you with example code that shows just how to partition the table.
>
Now, our only aim is how to make range partitioning this varchar2 date column.
>
As I showed you in my example code earlier you can add a virtual column to the table and partition on it. My example code creates a monthly partitioned table that allows you to archive by month or archive every three months to archive by quarter.
You can modify that example to use quarterly partitions if you want but I would recommend that you use standard monthly partitions since they will satisfy the widest range of predicates.

How to truncate the text in a table column

Hi all,
I have a text column in a table RN. the column length is varchar2(240). When the text is too long I want to only display 20 text and followed by '...'
So I change the xmlfile of tableRN maximumLength="240" columns="80"
but the text is still long and let the page very wide. I notice the standard page have this functionality while I don't find any control either in the xml file or in the CO class.
Can anyone show me the method to implement this? I really don't want to modify the VO to decode the column to contain '...'
Thanks & Regards,

Mail needs to be sent after updating the salary column of emp table

Hi,
we have table test_emp_table, oracle form based application is running on this table...
it conatins salary column, we have requirement that, when every any update to the salary column, a mail needs to be sent to concerned person with new and old salary values..
I did that using the following procedure...

====================
But I have doubt, if there is any problem with mail server, if user is updating salary column from form based application at same time....
will table trigger allows him to save the new record or not????? or will he get any errors????

thanks justin...
I have written that code..but it works...problem is ...i am not able to understand the flow...what happens in the order, until mail is sent...
i have another code.....
I have written with out dbms_job, i have witten directly in the trigger itself...
Tom suggested the procedure, what i have given above..but not the below procedure....
I am not able to understand, what is the difference between them.....
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER test_emp_table_trg

Check which table has no column with specific name over number of tables

Hello,
Withing my schema I have 66 tables, all of them have column last_update_date. Though not all have the column program_update_date. The problem is I want to go through all the tables and know which tables does not have the program_update_date column. It is to be noted that if the table does not have the program_update_date column query 2 will be used instead of query 1.
query1:
select last_extract_date,
to_char(min(greatest(nvl(*last_update_date*,'01-Jan-10'),nvl(*program_update_date*,'01-Jan-10'))),'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS') mi,
to_char(max(greatest(nvl(*last_update_date*,'01-Jan-10'),nvl(*program_update_date*,'01-Jan-10'))),'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS') ma
from table_names
group by last_extract_date
order by last_extract_date desc;
query2:
select last_extract_date,
     to_char(min(nvl(last_update_date,'01-Jan-10')),'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS') mi,
     to_char(max(nvl(last_update_date,'01-Jan-10')),'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS') ma
     from mispa_events
     group by last_extract_date
     order by last_extract_date desc ;
Please find the PLSQL code that should be used:
Declare
cursor C_1 is
select unique table_name from user_tables; table_names varchar2(240); Begin Open C_1; Loop Fetch C_1 into table_names; EXIT WHEN C_1%NOTFOUND;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE('select last_extract_date,
to_char(min(greatest(nvl(last_update_date,''01-Jan-10''),nvl(program_update_date,''01-Jan-10''))),''DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS'') mi,
to_char(max(greatest(nvl(last_update_date,''01-Jan-10''),nvl(program_update_date,''01-Jan-10''))),''DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS'') ma
from ' || table_names ||'
group by last_extract_date
order by last_extract_date desc');
End Loop;
Close C_1;
COMMIT;
End;
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Support_db column not there in fnd_nodes table

Hi
today I have did clone of 11.5.9 instance and face the below issue.
Updating s_tnsmode to 'generateTNS'
UpdateContext exited with status: 0
AC-50480: Internal error occurred: java.lang.Exception: Error while generating l
istener.ora.
Error generating tnsnames.ora from the database, temperory tnsnames.ora will be
generated using templates
Instantiating Tools tnsnames.ora
Tools tnsnames.ora instantiated
Web tnsnames.ora instantiated
adgentns.pl exiting with status 2
ERRORCODE = 2 ERRORCODE_END
.end std out.
but as per below I have solved the issue
Sqlplus apps/...
SQL> EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN;
COMMIT;
EXIT;
Run AutoConfig on all tiers, firstly on the DB tier and then the APPS tiers, to repopulate the required system tables.
But I have observed there is no support_db column in fnd_nodes table, is it normal behaviour in 11.5.9?
Plz share your ideas
Thanks
Shaik

Hi
there is no column in fnd_nodes table. it is a single node instance. we don't have latest autoconfig patches in the current environment.

Copy from column to another column in same table

Hi,
Working on EBS Version : 11.5.10.2
Table Name : ASO_QUOTE_HEADERS_ALL
COLUMNS :
QUOTE_STATUS_ID NUMBER
ATTRIBUTE6 VARCHAR2(240 BYTE);
Need to copy from quote_status_id to attribute6 for that quote_header_id
example if quote_status_id = 10 then it should copy in attribute6 = 10 for quote_header_id = 69312
again if changed to quote_status_id = 10077 then it should replace with attribute6 = 10077
for quote_header_id = 69312
i wrote a procedure posted below:
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure SLC_STATUS_CAPTURE (p_quote_header_id IN number) is
BEGIN
UPDATE aso_quote_headers_all SET attribute6 = quote_status_id
WHERE quote_header_id = p_quote_header_id;
end SLC_STATUS_CAPTURE;
then calling this trigger through table level
BEGIN
SLC_STATUS_CAPTURE(:OLD.QUOTE_HEADER_ID);
END;
it is giving an error.
Please i need some help.
Thanks and Regards
Vijay

As others have mentioned, you cannot change column values in a statement level trigger. Also, you cannot
update the table that the trigger is firing on. If I understand correctly, you want to copy the value of
quote_status_id into attribute6 whenever a row is inserted or updated. If that is correct, then you only need a simple trigger like:
create trigger trigg
before insert or update of aso_quote_headers_all
for each row
begin
:new.attribute6 = :new.quote_status_id;
end;Thought why anybody would want to do this is beyond me - you already have the info
in your attribute6 column - what's the point in simply copying it to another column in
the same table?
