Help needed with sql function

Hi,
i have a function like below. basically what it does is, check whether first 2 places of a column_name is *'N_'*. if yes then i am replacing column_name which has *'N_' to ''*
CASE WHEN SUBSTR(column_name,1,2) = 'N_' THEN
*':NEW.'||REPLACE(column_name,'N_','')*
i designed this based on the requirement. now i am facing a small issue. i have a column name 'RGN_ID'. so the above function replaces the RGN_ID as RGID as N_ comes in the middle of the column_name the above function accidentally replaces this as well. wherein i need to replace the first 2 position of column_name which starts like 'N_'
can you please suggest any solution for this?
Edited by: user13178284 on Jun 29, 2010 6:11 AM

Thanks!. But i am afraid if this would help.
there may be many column names having 'N_' at whatever position. for eg., TRAN_ID. here N_ comes at 4th and 5th position.
i understand i need to place some kind of check above this function.so that if 'N_' comes anywhere in between the column_name i shouldnt replace it instead i should just replace column_name starting wtih 'N_'.
any idea about this?

Help needed with printf function!!!!

public class Try
{public static void main (String[] args)
{int a;
String b;
a = 000002;
b = "JSmith";
System.out.printf(b + "%d", a);
}}I need a help with the printf function.
The result of this small excercise that I just made is:
Jsmith2
How do I make it so that the zeros is also displayed? (using the printf)
I want it to look like this: Jsmith000002
Thank you in advance

TrySystem.out.printf(b + "%06d", a);(I don't have a compiler here so I haven't tested this).
The "6" is the width - the minimum number of characters that will be
printed and the "0" (it's a zero) is a flag indicating that the output should
be padded with zeros.
You should also note that the value of a is two. It doesn't matter whether
you say a=2; or a=0002; - a is still just plain two.

Expert Help needed with Sql Loader !

Hello Friends...I am using one .dat file that contains several values in a
particular column and I need to load those values in different tables with
sqlloader.....For example: in column 3 there are values 0001, 0004, 0007, 9999
..> values 0001 and 0004 need to be loaded into table1 and value 0007 is
loaded into table2 and value 9999 needs to be loaded into table3.
I can successfully use the when clause to load one value at a time but
cannot load a range or multiple values during the sqlloader load. I can
call and run separate .ctl files but less complexity and fewer files would
be better. Tried everything I know but no luck, can't do loads in same
.ctl file......Does the when clause have limitations whereby only one value
at a time can evaluated as True or False ?
I would like to do a Not or InBetween evaluations if possible on that
single coulmn and then do the loads in the specific tables.
Any help would be appreciated as I can see my hair turn grayer by the
minute..My thanks in advance..

You're asking sql*load to perform an unnatural act.
Load in you dat file as-is. Create a pl/sql procedure to do the rest.
Your batch script calls sql*load, then sql*plus to run the proc.
Must simpler. sql*load is not a procedural language.

Help needed with analytical function

I want to get the employee details of the highest and 2nd highest salaried employee in a particular department. But also the department should have more than 1 employee.
I tried the query and it gave me proper results. But I'm wondering if there is some other alternative than using the subquery.
Here is the table and the result query :
with t as
select 1 emp_id,3 mgr_id,'Rajesh' emp_name,3999 salary,677 bonus,'HR' dpt_nme from dual union
select 2 ,3 ,'Gangz',4500,800,'Finance' from dual union
select 3 ,4 ,'Sid',8000,12000,'IT' from dual union
select 4 ,null,'Ram',5000,677,'HR' from dual union
select 5 ,4,'Shyam',6000,677,'IT' from dual union
select 6 ,4 ,'Ravi',9000,12000,'IT' from dual
select * from
(select emp_id, mgr_id, emp_name, dpt_nme, salary, row_number() over (partition by dpt_nme order by salary desc) rn from t where dpt_nme in
(select dpt_nme from t group by dpt_nme having count(*) > 1)) where rn < 3

Hi,
You need a sub-query, but you don't need more than that.
Here's one way to eliminate the extra sub-query:
WITH     got_analytics     AS
     SELECT emp_id,     mgr_id,     emp_name, dpt_nme, salary
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY dpt_nme
                               ORDER BY         salary     DESC
                       )         AS rn
     ,     COUNT (*)     OVER ( PARTITION BY dpt_nme
                                   )         AS dpt_cnt
     FROM     t
SELECT emp_id,     mgr_id,     emp_name, dpt_nme, salary
,     rn
FROM     got_analytics
WHERE     rn     < 3
AND     dpt_cnt     > 1
;Analytic functions are computed after the WHERE clause is applied. Since we need to use the results of the analytic ROW_NUMBER function in a WHERE clause, that means we'll have to compute ROW_NUMBER in a sub-query, and use the results in the WHERE clause of the main query. We can call the analytic COUNT function in the same sub-query, and use its results in the same WHERE clause of the main query.
What results would you want if there's a tie for the 2nd highest salary in some department? For example, if you add this row to your sample data:
select 7 ,3 ,'Sunil',8000,12000,'IT' from dual union? You may want to use RANK instead of ROW_NUMBER.

Help needed with SQL

I have to create a join of two tables with the following fields:
User_x
Full_Name
Login_Name
Group_List
Group_x
Group_name
Groupid
In User_x table grouplist comprises of list of groups a user belongs to separated by a semi colon. e.g. 12;78;65
Now I need to create a join where I get a list of all the users with the group they belong to.
The result set should look like this
User Groupname
Tom Group1
Peter Group2
Kathy Group2
and so on...
Actual SQL wil be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
Try this:
select use_name, group_name
from user_x u, group_x g
where instr(group_list, ';'||group_id||';') <> 0
or substr(group_list, 1, instr(group_list, ';')-1) = group_id
or substr(group_list, instr(group_list, ';', -1)+1) = group_id;

Help needed with Map function in Lumira

Hi,
I've bee using Luira for lots of great tile charts and bar charts, but now I am looking to make use of the mapping visulization in Lumira.
Bascially I want to get a count of the number of retail stores by state.
I uploaded my data , and some have been populated and looks nice (see first screenshot) , but for others the state is not found (see second screenshot).
I have looked in the help documents, and some of the training, but have yet to find a solution.
What I'd like to know is how I can fix the "unfound" states, or at least find out what is the source file which stores all the states?
Above is the results so far, below is the missing states that I need to resolve. How can I fix for these "not found" states or compare the format of my original excel data vs the data from Lumira.
Alteratively if there is a way to match via post-code / zip-code please tell me how.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
the geo-hierarchies take all cities that are greater than 100.000 for the name resolution and for the smaller ones you would need to use latitude/longitude information to get them resolved by Lumira.
You can find mre information on how to use latitude/ longitude information from here:

Help needed with cfcalendar function

I have a Coldfusion application which requires the user to select a date to sign up for a class. The problem that I am having is that the available dates are within a pre-determined range (i.e. from current date until end of year) and are Wednesdays only. I thought I could use the cfcalendar function, but do not understand how to use it with the conditions mentioned. Is this possible to do with cfcalendar, and if so, could someone please give me an example of how to do this? If there is an easier way to do this, I would really appreciate any ideas.
Thanks in advance!

Help needed with Vista 64 Ultimate

"Help needed with Vista 64 UltimateI I need some help in getting XFI Dolby digital to work
Okay so i went out and I bought a yamaha 630BL reciever, a digital coaxial s/pdif, and a 3.5mm phono plug to fit perfectly to my XFI Extreme Music
-The audio plays fine and reports as a PCM stream when I play it normally, but I can't get dolby digital or DTS to enable for some reason eventhough I bought the DDL & DTS Connect Pack for $4.72
When I click dolby digital li've in DDL it jumps back up to off and has this [The operation was unsuccessful. Please try again or reinstall the application].
Message Edited by Fuzion64 on 03-06-2009 05:33 AMS/PDIF I/O was enabled under speakers in control panel/sound, but S/PDIF Out function was totally disabled
once I set this to enabled Dolby and DTS went acti've.
I also have a question on 5. and Vista 64
-When I game I normally use headphones in game mode or 2. with my headphones, the reason for this is if I set it on 5. I get sounds coming out of all of the wrong channels.
Now when I watch movies or listen to music I switch to 5. sound in entertainment mode, but to make this work properly I have to open CMSS-3D. I then change it from xpand to stereo and put the slider at even center for 50%. If I use the default xpand mode the audio is way off coming out of all of the wrong channels.
How do I make 5. render properly on vista

Why do you come here asking this question anyway ? is it becouse you have a MSI gfx card ? and the adapter has nothing to do with this ?
You think you can come in here yelling.. thinking we have to put up with it and accept your style of posting. This is not a MSI tech center.. it's a user to user center.. Your question has nothing to do with MSI relavant things anyway's.

Help needed with itunes

help needed with itunes please tryed to move my itunes libary to my external hard drive itunes move ok and runs fin but i have none of my music or apps or anything all my stuff is in the itunes folder on my external hard drive but there is nothing on ituns how do i get it back help,please

(Make sure the Music (top left) library is selected before beginning this.)
If you have bad song links in your library, hilite them and hit the delete button. Then locate the folder(s) where your music is located and drag and drop into the large library window in iTunes ( where your tracks show up). This will force the tunes into iTunes. Before you start, check your preferences in iTunes specifically under the"Advanced" tab, general settings. I prefer that the 1st 2 boxes are unchecked. (Keep iTunes Music folder organized & Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library). They are designed to let iTunes manage your library. I prefer to manage it myself. Suit yourself. If there is a way for iTunes to restore broken links other than locating one song at a time I haven't found it yet. (I wish Apple would fix this, as I have used that feature in other apps.) This is the way I do it and I have approx. 25,000 songs and podcasts and videos at present. Hope this helps.

Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail!!

Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail?
I had 7 junk mails come in this morning, 5 went straight to junk and 2 more I junked.
When I clicked on the Junk folder to empty it, it froze Mail and I can't click on anything, I had to force quit Mail and re-open it. When it re-opens the Junk folder is selected and it is froze, I can't do anything.
I repaired permissions, it did nothing.
I re-booted my computer, on opening Mail the In folder was selected, when I selected Junk, again, it locks up Mail and I can't select them to delete them?
Anyone know how I can delete these Junk mails from my Junk folder without having to open Mail to do it as it would appear this will be the only solution to the problem.

Hi Nigel
If you hold the Shift key when opening the mail app, it will start up without any folders selected & no emails showing. Hopefully this will enable you to start Mail ok.
Then from the Mail menus - choose Mailbox-Erase Junk Mail . The problem mail should now be in the trash. If there's nothing you want to retain from the Trash, you should now choose Mailbox- Erase Deleted Messages....
If you need to double-check the Trash for anything you might want to retain, then view the Trash folder first, before using Erase Junk Mail & move anything you wish to keep to another folder.
The shift key starts Mail in a sort of Safe mode.
