GetColList to return fields enclosed in double quote?

hi.. newbie question.. I searched but couldnt find an answer..
I have a connection to progress tables, where the tablenames & column names contain hyphen (ie: "gla-account"."account-no")..
the getColList from LKM failed to enclosed the column names in double quotes, I tried inserting \" into the getColList codes but it kept crashing.. what's the correct syntax to add double quotes ?
thanks..
HT

hi Cezar, actually, when i tested it - it worked fine with selecting tables if column-names do not contain hyphen.
when the datastore contains column with hyphen, getColList just refused to come back at all.. so it looks like getColList cannot read from the model ?

Can't import csv fields starting with double quotes but lack ending ones

Hi all,
When I'm trying to used external table to import a csv file, specified as using comma as delimiter optionally enclosed by double quotes, some records are rejected because a field in the record has starting double quotes, but without ending ones.
Assume the customer really want these starting double quotes, how do I change my external table specification such that these starting double quotes are treated as part of the field data and can be successfully inserted into db?
Many thanks.

I have no access to Oracle during weekends, so nothing can be tested. So here it goes:
Suggestion: DELIMITED BY '","' and of course omitt ENCLOSED BY '"'
You will have to update each row of the rows just loaded setting the first_field to substr(first_field,2) and the last_field to substr(last_field,-2)
If all the fields are not enclosed in double quotes (TRUE for strings and FALSE for numbers and dates) the situation (syntax diagrams allow two delimiters only) is somehow more complicated, anyway you can specify DELIMITED BY ',' and update all varchar2 fields in each row of the rows just loaded setting the varchar2_field to substr(varchar2_field,2,length(varchar2_field) - 2).
Regards
Etbin
After posting I noticed it's difficult to distinguish between single and double quotes:
the first DELIMITED BY should read {single quote){double quote}{comma}{double quote}{single quote)
the ENCLOSED BY should read {single quote){double quote}{single quote)

Returning fields of popup containing quotes

Hellow,
Ive made a report page, and I'm calling this page with
javascript:popUp2('f?p=&APP_ID.:3037:&SESSION.::NO:3037', 1000, 1000);in a button.
The page renders perfect, but to return values i have to make another function in javascript. Which i call, on a link in the report.
Code in html header=
<script language="JavaScript">
function passBack(passVal1,passVal2,passVal3,passVal4)
opener.document.getElementById("P3060_DEORSQN").value = passVal1;
opener.document.getElementById("P3060_DEADSQN").value = passVal2;
opener.document.getElementById("P3060_DECTSQN").value = passVal3;
opener.document.getElementById("P3060_DESTREE").value = passVal4;
opener.document.getElementById("P3060_DEFIRNM").value = document.getElementById("P3037_DEFIRNM").value;
opener.document.getElementById("P3060_DELASNM").value = document.getElementById("P3037_DELASNM").value;
opener.document.getElementById("P3060_DEORGNM").value = document.getElementById("P3037_DEORGNM").value;
window.close();
}Link in report=
onclick="passBack(#DEORSQN#,#DEADSQN#, #DECTSQN#, '#DESTREE#')"I need to load P3037_DEFIRNM, P3037_DELASNM, P3037_DEORGNM into fields to pas them back.
They are regular strings, but they can contain quotes = ' and it messes up the code ('#DESTREE#') to return values.
So the link in the report should trigger something that puts the values in fields and triggers my function passBack.
Ive been trying to put the values in the fields and triggering my function at the same time, but it only does 1 of the 2.
Most of the time the fields contain nothing so my function returns null values.
So if anyone knows a solution with the loading into fields, or just something to elliminate the quotes.
I whould be very happy.

and
function passBack(passVal1,passVal2,passVal3,passVal4,passVal5,passVal6,passVal7)
opener.document.getElementById("P3060_DEORSQN").value = passVal1;
opener.document.getElementById("P3060_DEADSQN").value = passVal2;

12790,T T I, INCORPORATED
I want each column be enclosed in double quotes like this
"12790","T T I, INCORPORATED"

SQL Loader - double quote within data

Hi,
I'm putting together some SQL loader scripts to load source data into a DB. The data we are receiving is comma delimited, optionally enclosed by double quotes (").
e.g. "abc","123","this is a "test"","987"
The problem I've got is that some data items contain double quotes ("test") as part of the data and this cause the SQL Loader to fall over with the error:
Record 14644: Rejected - Error on table x, column y.
no terminator found after TERMINATED and ENCLOSED field
Is it possible to load this without changing the extraction process from the source system?
My .ctl file looks like this:
LOAD DATA
     INFILE '../data/toload/BR_ADDRESS.CSV'
     APPEND INTO TABLE STA_COMP_BRADD
     FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
     etc....

Hi,
Look in to this in Oracle documentation:
"If two delimiter characters are encountered next to each other, a single occurrence of the delimiter character is used in the data value. For example, 'DON''T' is stored as DON'T. However, if the field consists of just two delimiter characters, its value is null."

How to handle ' " '(double quotes) in .csv file during migration

I am facing problem in migrating data from sql server 2000 into oracle via .csv file using sql loader.
1>How should i migrate the string which contains ' " ' (double quotes) characters,
as i am enclosing the string in ' " ' in .ctl file (enclosed by ' " ').
is there any syntax in the control file which can migrate the ' " '(double quotes) as it is as the data in the files is 50000 records .?
Thank you..

Yes this is correct.
but problem will occur when e.g check the foll. string.
(1001,And I quote "This, will work")
Here it is a comm(,) in b/w "This and will".
due to this sqlldr interpret it as end of field. and throws an error.
I had gone through expert one on one oracle, what it maintioned as,
put an extra double quotes( " ) like " " to enclosed the double quoted string.
This works fine. For small data it can be done manually.
But for large data what condition can be put in the ctl file to achieve this?
or is there any other way to achieve this?
Thank you.

00904 error when sorting columns that require double quotes

We have used an ETL tool to import an XML file into Oracle 10g. The column names are mixed case and unfortunately have to remain mixed case because we have a "column" and a "Column" name with different info in them. So when we migrate it in, the field names have be enclosed in double quotes in all SQL operations. The problem in SQL Developer 1.5.1 (Win XP SP2, Oracle 10G) though is that if I try to sort on a column by double clicking the column header, we get an ORA-00904 error COLUMN does not exist. So it looks like it is trying to do an ORDER BY without putting the column name in double quotes. Has anybody else had issues with this and is there a fix for it?

Charecter strings in Double quotes

Hi All,
By default, all charecter strings in Oracle are enclosed within single quotes. Is there a way to make Oracle accept charecter strings enclosed in double quotes?
Example
Table A
Ename varchar2(20)
Current setup is
INSERT INTO A VALUES('NEW_USER');
What I need to do is
INSERT INTO A VALUES("NEW_USER");
Is this really possible?
Thanks in advance

SSRS Report Returning Double Quote string from a Single Quote String

Hi, I'm getting weird thing in resultset from SSRS report when executed. When I pass parameter to a report, which passes String that has single quote value to a split function , it returns rows with double quote.
For example following string:
'N gage, Wash 'n Curl,Murray's, Don't-B-Bald
Returns:
''N gage, Wash ''n Curl,Murray''s, Don''t-B-Bald
through SSRS report.
Here is the split function Im using in a report.
CREATE Function [dbo].[fnSplit] (
@List varchar(8000),
@Delimiter char(1)
Returns @Temp1 Table (
ItemId int Identity(1, 1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY ,
Item varchar(8000) NULL
As
Begin
Declare @item varchar(4000),
@iPos int
Set @Delimiter = ISNULL(@Delimiter, ';' )
Set @List = RTrim(LTrim(@List))
-- check for final delimiter
If Right( @List, 1 ) <> @Delimiter -- append final delimiter
Select @List = @List + @Delimiter -- get position of first element
Select @iPos = Charindex( @Delimiter, @List, 1 )
While @iPos > 0
Begin
-- get item
Select @item = LTrim( RTrim( Substring( @List, 1, @iPos -1 ) ) )
If @@ERROR <> 0 Break -- remove item form list
Select @List = Substring( @List, @iPos + 1, Len(@List) - @iPos + 1 )
If @@ERROR <> 0 Break -- insert item
Insert @Temp1 Values( @item ) If @@ERROR <> 0 Break
-- get position pf next item
Select @iPos = Charindex( @Delimiter, @List, 1 )
If @@ERROR <> 0 Break
End
Return
End
FYI: I'm getting @List value from a table and passing it as a string to split function.
Any help would be appreciated!

Single and double quotes entered in form field cause corruption?

I am creating a database change request system using in APEX 2.2 and the main form has a description field (clob) and a API_description field (varchar2(4000)) that are text area fields on the page. The form seems to have trouble when the string data entered into the text area page items on the form contain single and double quotes.
 
I have pasted my test data below in this problem description(this is not true sql but it gets the point accross). I use the wizard created insert process to get the data into the db from the text fields in the wizard generated form, then use the wizard created fetch process to get the data back out and rendered on the same form. When I use the test data below, sometimes a few characters dissappear from my input data on the way out, sometime form fields go away, and their html is interspersed with the previous form field's data on the page. And I get different results on different tests with the same data.
 
Do I have to do something special for a vanilla htmldb text page item on a form to be able to receive single and double quotes in the string input in order to avoid that string data confusing the processing on the way in to the Database or on the way out for rendering?
 
Do I have to escape the characters? How do I do this?
 
The "varchar2(1) := ‘A’" part of the below TEST DATA string seem to cause the most trouble. The behavior is erratic - sometimes the pattern works, sometimes html is interspersed in one place, sometimes another (on the way back out)
 
START TEST DATA:
Add column pcl3_data_ind varchar2(1) to edc_tran,edc_log, edc_recreate_tran table
Or
Create a file with following sql in it
Insert into sometable values(‘A’,sysdate);
Or
create new table as follows
create table “someschema”.“sometable”
(id number not null,
Name varchar2(20) not null,
Join_date sysdate
Active varchar2(1) := ‘A’
END TEST DATA:
 
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Here is an example of the test data being displayed after being fetched back out of oracle (this will look like gibberish when rendered in the forum system (end of problem description except for example):
 
env
Add column pcl3_data_ind varchar2(1) to edc_tran,edc_log, edc_recreate_tran table
Or
Create a file with following sql in it
Insert into sometable values(‘A’,sysdate);
