Help on Select Syntax

In MS-SQL Server you can write something like:
select top 20 from Authors
What is the equivalent of this in Oracle?
Is there any link available describing oracle syntax for pl/sql?
Thanks and Regards,
Rumpa

select *
from authors
where rownum <= 20
Note: This is not a random selection, just the first 20. If you wish to have the top 20 then try:
select *
from authors
where rownum <= 20
order by name asc
also, PL/SQL

  • I have copied many photo's from another laptop to my Mac.  The older photo's are in directories with names that help me select what I need to view. I would like to have all my imported new photo's also bee added to the directory structure I have in Finder

    I have copied many photo's from another laptop to my Mac.  The older photo's are in directories with names that help me select what I need to view. I would like to have all my imported new photo's also bee added to the directory structure I have in Finder but my new photo's are all in iPhoto.  I want to use directories for storing and iPhoto for viewing.  Is this possible or do I need to have all my photo's in iPhoto??
    Mitch

    iPhoto is not a Photo Viewer. It's a Photo Manager and designed for looking after the files while you organise the Photos. It really works much better if you let it manage those files. If you use iPhoto you never go near those files because iPhoto is your start point for anything you want to do with your Photos - the point of the pplication.
    You can run iPhoto in Referenced mode, where it does not copy the files to the Library, but I caution you that you are making life a lot more difficult for yourself by doing that.
    How to, and some comments on why you shouldn't, are in this thread

    Hi Haung,
    You need to use FREE_HELP not the component name.
    Modify you code as below:
       LT_RANGE_TABLE_V = wd_this->m_handler_V->create_range_table( 'ZCYPHDATE' ).
      wd_this->M_HANDLER_V->add_selection_field(

  • How to get calender in f4 help for select options in module pool (URGENT)

    Hi All,
    how to get calender in f4 help for select options in module pool
    Please help .
    Thanx in advance,
    amruta

    Hi Amruta,
    First of all, you can not create select-options directly in module pool.
    For creating <b>select-option is dialog prog</b> follow these steps:
    1. create your selection screen model as subscreen by:
    SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 2000 AS SUBSCREEN.
    PARAMETRS: P_MATNR LIKE MARA-MATNR.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: S_BISMAT FOR MARA-BISMAT.
    SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN 2000.
    2. create a screen ( example 100 ) in your module-pool dedicated for selection-screen. on this screen layout sketch a sub-screen name like subscree_2000.
    3. write this bit of code in PBO and PAI of the screen 100;
    CALL SUBSCREEN SUBSCREEN_2000.
    4. include this code in PBO:
    INCLUDING SY-REPID '2000'
    6. write user_command of PAI, call screen which is going to executable after selection-screen.
    5. create a transcation for this dialog module pool with screen 100.
    6. execute this transaction and you can see it's behaving like cool with select-options.
    After that in [bprocee on value-request]</b>, use F4_DATE for both from and to option field.
    Hope it will solve the problem.
    Regards

  • Hi its urgent...help on selection screen parameters

    Hi all,
    I need help on selection screen parameters.
    requirement is that,
    i am having input fields for material, plant ,start date and end date and a check box and an input field for getting the txt file.
    when i select the checkbox, it should ignore the mandatory fileds in the selection screen.
    and when i get the file input, it should take  the input data material, plant, start date and end date from the flat file and populate the corresponding input fields in selection screen.
    How to do this..
    thanks in advance.

    Hi ..
    While declare the Matnr, Plant etc dont use the OBLIGATORY addition.
    instead of the based on the value of check box validate them .
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
      IF c_box = ' '.
       << validate for mandatory fields>>
    endif.

    Check the below solution for your issue - The FM "'RS_SELECTIONSCREEN_READ" is used to get the S_BUKRS values. Even though the FM returns single values of the Select options ( Low & High ) it fits the requirement.As the trick part is...If user enters multiple values or even enters sign for select options, S_BUKRS itself will have the value. That's why we have If else S_BUKRS[] is initial and R_BUKRS. Let me know if you have any issues with the solution provided.
