I need to copy data from a table in one database (db1) to another table in

Hi
I need to copy data from a table in one database (db1) to another table in another database (db2).
I am not sure if the table exists in db2,,,if it doesnot it needs to be created as well data also needs to be inserted...
How am I supposed to this using sql statements..?
I shall be happy if it is explained SQL also...
Thanking in advance

How many rows does the table contains? There are manyway you can achieve this.
1. export and import.
2. create a dblink between two databases and use create table as select, if structure doesnot exists in other database, if structure exists, use, insert into table select command.
example:
create a dblink in db2 database for db1 database.
create table table1 as select * from table1@db1 -- when there is no structure present
-- you need to add constraints manually, if any exists.
insert into table1 select * from table1@db1 -- when there is structure present.
If the table contains large volume of data, I would suggest you to use export and import.

Does Mac have a tool similar to snippy or snagit? Do not use Windows. Need to copy data off archived online newspapers.

Does Mac have a tool similar to snippy or snagit?
I do not have Windows.
Need to copy data off archived online newspapers. Unable to do so with screenprint, etc.
Heard windows has a tool called Snippy, looked at Snagit, but read free download agreement and it reads a bit 'fishy', as the download is only free for 30 days, etc and it talks about fees etc.

Mac does have two utilities: Snagit for Mac and LittleSnapper. There are a few others. Snag it for mac is just a better "clippings" thing. It will not scan your image. There are OCR products available for Mac which might be able to take your clipping document and scan it back to text.
Snagit Mac is here: http://www.techsmith.com/snagit-mac-features.html
To see OCR stuff do a google search for: Mac OCR Software
And you'll get quite a few.

Help needed in Exporting tables data through SQL query

Hi All,
I need to write a shell script(ksh) to take some of the tables data backup.
The tables list is not static, and those are selecting through dynamic sql
query.
Can any body tell help me how to write the export command to export tables
which are selected dynamically through SQL query.
I tried like this
exp ------ tables = query \" select empno from emp where ename\= \'SSS\' \"
but its throws the following error
EXP-00035: QUERY parameter valid only for table mode exports
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
You can dynamically generate parameter file for export utility using shell script. This export parameter file can contain any table list you want every time. Then simply run the command
$ exp parfile=myfile.txt

Help converting between Java Dates and SQL Dates

Hey all,
I'm working on a JSP to allow a user to enter information about news articles into a mySQL database. I'm using text fields for most of the data, and most of it is transferred correctly when the user hits "Submit." However, I am having a problem with the date field of the mySQL database. Basically I'm trying to retrieve the current date from the JSP page, and then insert this into the date field of the appropriate table when the user hits submit. The problem is that I can't typecast a java.util.Date or even a java.util.Calendar to a java.sql.Date object. I've tried lots of approaches, including creating a new instance of java.util.Calendar, getting all its fields and concatenating them onto the date variable, but this doesn't work.
Anyone know how I could easily convert between java.util.Date or java.util.Calendar and java.sql.Date?
Thanks!

Thanks for the help!
I can correctly display the current date on the page in java.sql.Date format now, but it's still not being inserted into the database correctly. The specific code is as follows:
java.util.Date dt = new java.util.Date();
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(dt.getTime());
(As you wrote)
Then (after connecting to the database etc.):
PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO NEWS(NEWSDATE,DAYOFWEEK,AUTHOR,HEADLINE,CLIP,PUBLICATION,LINK,NEWSLOCATION,DATECREATED,DATEMODIFIED,CATEGORY,KEYWORDS,PHOTOURL,PHOTOGRAPHER,AUDIOURL) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)");
pstmt.clearParameters();
pstmt.setString(1,date);
pstmt.setString(2,dayofweek);
pstmt.setString(3,author);
pstmt.setString(4,headline);
pstmt.setString(5,clip);
pstmt.setString(6,publication);
pstmt.setString(7,link);
pstmt.setString(8,newslocation);
pstmt.setDate(9,sqlDate);
pstmt.setString(10,datemodified);
pstmt.setString(11,category);
pstmt.setString(12,keywords);
pstmt.setString(13,photoURL);
pstmt.setString(14,photographer);
pstmt.setString(15,audioURL);
int i = pstmt.executeUpdate();
pstmt.close();
All the other fields are retrieved with request.getParameter from text fields. Any idea why the DATECREATED field is being updated to all 0's but the others work fine?
Thanks again.

Help needed to insert data from different database

Hi ,
I have a requirement where i need to fetch data from different database through database link .Depending on user request , the dblink needs to change and data from respective table from mentioned datbase has to be fetched and populated .Could i use execute immediate for this, would dblink work within execute immediate .If not , could pls let me know any other approach .

What does "the dblink needs to change" mean?
Are you trying to dynamically create database links at run-time? Or to point a query at one of a set of pre-established database links at run-time?
Are you sure that you really need to get the data from the remote database in real time? Could you use materialized views/ Streams/ etc to move the data from the remote databases to the local database? That tends to be far more robust.

Help needed with Copying DVD error in Toast Titanium 6

(I tried to post to Roxio forum but couldn't get registered) ... hope someone can help
I made an iDVD of a school event (Métis Gathering) and burned it to DVD through the iDVD program (iDVD 6)
I used Toast (6.0.3) to make 8 copies of the dvd.
Now I need to make more copies, but Toast never finishes the 'recording' (copying) session ... it gives me "couldn't complete the last command: I/O error, result code -36."
I'm using the original DVD, which was only played once and I've kept it as a master .... I don't see any scratches or anything on it.
What's happening? What can I do?
Any help is appreciated, thank you
Eliz
iMac 17", Intel Core Duo , 512 Ram, 160 GB Mac OS X (10.4.6)

With the luxury of two internal burners, I've never
used Toast that way.
I find it a luxury just to have a dvd burner!!
Any way, back to the saga .... I tried the same original master dvd at home again, no copying possible, so setting the speed wasn't a factor
So, I put in the copy I made at school .... I made a disk image with disc utility, then burned the image ... at a slower speed ... with toast. Seems fine. I'm going to save the disc image as a data dvd to use as the future master, no more copying with toast for me!
Since I've managed to overcome this little problem using a second computer (the luxury of which I won't have, come July), i think I'm okay ... just need to remember to try a slower burn speed from the start next time ...
But, why wouldn't it read the dvd? almost like it had a shelf life or something
Thank you for your help
Eliz

Help needed in inserting data using a query

I need to have some data as a result of the following query:
select sched_num,load_id,ord_id,split_id from ord_load_seq
where (ord_id,split_id,sched_num) in (select ord_id,split_id,sched_num from ord_load_seq where seq_num = '2'
group by ord_id,split_id,sched_num having count(1) >1)
order by ord_id,split_id,sched_num;
But currently it retunrns no rows. The problem is in the having count(1)> 1 clause.
When i make =1, it returns rows. But no rows on > 1. I even tried inserting some rows to get the result >1
But still the query on a whole returns no rows.Please help.

SQL> Q1. As you may see we have an bunch of data where each row is unique combination of the columns value.
Q2. lets try to group it by fld1 and fld2 and fld3 columns. We don't expect any miracle and got the same data as Q1. Why? Because each row is unique combination(group) in scope of fld1, fld2, fld3 - count(1) exactly shows us that.
Q3. Q2 is explanation why we got no rows filter (having count(1) > 1)because the result of the clause is always false.
Q4. Lets put some duplication.
Q5. Now we got some new result. Count shows us group with more then one rows.
Q6. Shows us exact group which we've found in Q5.

Help Needed!! Working with SQL Databases

Hi All,
I'm currently working on an application that interfaces with an SQL database, and I seem to have ran into a roadblock.
I have a multicolumn list box on my front panel which is filled in with data extracted from the database. On selecting any of the rows in the list box, another one is opened displaying another set of data extracted by a generated SQL query. At the moment I am only selecting one row at a time to view it's related data, but I want to expand such that I can select mutiple rows from the list box at a time and see all of their corresponding data.
With only a single selection, I can pass the index value of the selection to an Index Array Function with the database as the other input and build my SQL statement.
But with multiple selections, I imagine I would have to build an array on index values and use those as a reference to build the SQL statment. And I am not sure how exactly to go about doing that.
Here is the code that I currently have working for a single selection from the list box.
Any help is appreciated. Cheers.

Regarding building the array:
I can see hat you multicolumn listbox has not multiselection enabled, and is limited to one or zero selected item at once. To enable multiselction; simply rightclick your multicolumn listbox and change your selection mode to support multiple selected items. The NewVal at the event structure should change from a single index number to a 1D array of indexed numbers. No coding needed. Then just retrive out all the items (since you know the indexes) and create the quiry. The quiry part I dont really know (long time no see SQL), but it looks like a for loop to create the string should do the trick?

Help needed with pattern matching (analytics SQL ?)

Hello Forum Users,
I've got a curious problem on my hands that I am unable to think of an efficient way to code in Oracle SQL ....
(1) Background
Two tables :
MEASUREMENTS
ID NUMBER
M1 NUMBER
M2 NUMBER
M3 NUMBER
M4 NUMBER
INTERESTING_VALUES
ID NUMBER
M1 NUMBER
M2 NUMBER
M3 NUMBER
M4 NUMBER
(2) OUTPUT NEEDED
For each row in "MEASUREMENTS", count the number of matches in "INTERESTING_VALUES" (all rows). Please note that the matches might not be in the same column.... e.g. for a given row MEASUREMENTS M1 might match INTERESTING_VALUES M3.
I need to count 2,3 and 4 matches and provide the count values seperatley.
I am not interested in fuzzy matching (e.g. "greater than" or "less than"), the numbers only need to match exactly.
(You can use features up to 11g).
Thank you for your help.

yup here you go...
