Help with ORBER BY in my query when negative numbers are involved

hi,
I have
SELECT *
FROM my_table
WHERE age = 5
ORDER BY photoSmall DESC
my_table looks like this:
key | age | photoSmall
1 25 2
2 25 3
3 25 1
4 25 -1
now, i would expect my results to be ordered as follows:
firstly record 2 (because it has the highest "photoSmall"
value of 3
then record 1 (it has the next highest "photoSmall" value of
2)
then record 3 ("photoSmall" being 1)
finally record 4 ("photoSmall" of -1 being the lowest value
of all..
but no!
it seems CF is treating -1 and 1 as being the same, how odd
do i need to amend my query to:
SELECT *
FROM my_table
WHERE age = 5
ORDER BY photoSmall DESC
CFpositive_numbers_are_greater_than_negative_numbers=YES ??
any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks very much
indeed.

Thank you both very much for your help. I tried Pauls fix but
alas my access db
didn't like the "cast(photoSmall as int" concept (or at least
i couldnt get it
to work)
so in the end i did what i should have done in the first
place and changed the
photosmall var to a numeric rather than a text one.
i was forgetting that whilst CF doesnt seem to care what
"type" of variable
you give it it just gets on and "does the maths", of course
it is access that
is ordering my results
so thanks very much - this one is now fixed - cheers

Newbie: help with join in a select query

Hi: I need some help with creating a select statement.
I have two tables t1 (fields: id, time, cost, t2id) and t2 (fields: id, time, cost). t2id from t1 is the primary key in t2. I want a single select statement to list all time and cost from both t1 and t2. I think I need to use join but can't seem to figure it out even after going through some tutorials.
Thanks in advance.
Ray

t1 has following records
pkid, time, cost,product
1,123456,34,801
2,123457,20,802
3,345678,40,801
t2 has the following records
id,productid,time,cost
1,801,4356789,12
2,801,4356790,1
3,802,9845679,100
4,801,9345614,12
I want a query that will print following from t1 (time and cost for records that have product=801)
123456,34
345678,40
followed by following from t2 (time and cost for records that have productid=801)
4356789,12
4356790,1
9345614,12
Is this possible?
Thanks

Is anyone having problems with the iOS 6 update? Random, unknown people are involved in my text messages!

Is anyone having a problem with iOS 6 update? Random, unknown people are involved in my text messages!

I noticed that after I linked Facebook to my iphone, I had tons of new entries in my Contacts. I found a way to turn that feature off. Perhaps that's your problem with randoms joining in on your convos.
Yep, follow the instructions listed by the guy above me. I also did this: Settings ---> Facebook ---> Contacts: Off (allow these apps to use ur account). That cleared out all my Facebook friend phone numbers from my Contact list on my phone. Hope this helps. Updating an os should not require oodles of work on our end.

Hi, Miguel,

I dont really understand what you mean by this ? but if i take a gander are you saying that all my rows would have to be unique and then i wont have to use ("ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEEDING")I think you got it right.
The analytic ORDER BY clause doesn't have to result in a unique ordering; there are good reasons for having a unique oprdering, and there are good reasons for not having a unique ordering.
I'm saying that if the analytic ORDER BY is unique, then you don't need to give a widnowing clause, such as "ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEEDING".
Frank sorry if im asking some really stupid questions but i have tried and tried to read and understand "partion by" and "over" work but im not quite sure I understand yet. It's not stupid at all! Analytic functions can be very subtle and confusing.
Let's use a query based on the scott.emp table, which has seveal rows for each deptno.
-- Tell SQL*Plus to put a blank line between deptnos, just to make the output easier to read
BREAK     ON deptno   SKIP 1     DUPLICATES

                  ROWS            UNBOUNDED PRECEDING
                )     AS running_total

        30 JAMES             950           950PARTITION BY deptno" means do a separate calculation for each distinct value of deptno. Rows with deptno=10 don't effect the results on rows where deptno=20 or deptno=30. Since there are 3 distinct values of deptno, there are 3 distinct running totals.
Notice that the aNalytic ORDER BY clause results only in a partial ordering. If there are two or more rows in the same deptno that happen to have the same sal, look what can happen:
{code}
` DEPTNO ENAME SAL RUNNING_TOTAL
... 30 TURNER 1500 4950
30 MARTIN 1250 2200
30 WARD 1250 3450
30 JAMES 950 950
{code}
MARTIN and WARD are in the same partition (deptno=30), and they both have the same sal (1250), so there is no reason why one of those rows would be considered "before" the other one. When you use a windowing clause based on ROWS, as above, and there is a tie for whcih row comes first (as there is a tie between MARTIN and WARD), then one of the rows will arbitrarily be condidered to be before the other one. In this example, it happened to chose MARTIN as the 2nd lowest sal, so running_total=2200 (= 950 + 1250) on the row for MARTIN, and running_total=3450 ( = 950 + 1250 + 1250) on the row for WARD. There's no particular reason for that; it's completely arbitrary. I might do the exact same query tomorrow, or in 10 minutes, and get running_total=2200 on WARD's row, and 3450 on MARTIN's.
However, it is no accident that MARTIN comes before WARD in the output; the *query* ORDER BY clause (which has nothing to do with the analytic ORDER BY clause) guarantees that, when two rows have the same deptno and sal, then the one with the earlier ename will come first.
Now, what's the difference between a window based on ROWS and a window bnased on RANGE?
One difference is that, when a tie occurs in the ORDER BY clause, all rows with the same value of sal get the same value for SUM (sal):
{code}
SELECT     deptno
,     ename
,     sal
,     SUM (sal) OVER ( PARTITION BY deptno
               ORDER BY      sal
               )     AS running_total
FROM     scott.emp
ORDER BY deptno
,      sal          DESC
,     ename
{code}
Notice that the only difference between the first query above and this one is that this one does not have an analytic windowing clause, so the default window, *RANGE* UNBOUNDED PRECEDING is used.
Output:
{code}
` DEPTNO ENAME SAL RUNNING_TOTAL
10 KING 5000 8750
10 CLARK 2450 3750
10 MILLER 1300 1300
20 FORD 3000 10875
20 SCOTT 3000 10875
20 JONES 2975 4875
20 ADAMS 1100 1900
20 SMITH 800 800
30 BLAKE 2850 9400
30 ALLEN 1600 6550
30 TURNER 1500 4950
30 MARTIN 1250 3450
30 WARD 1250 3450
30 JAMES 950 950
{code}
Again, look at MARTIN and WARD near the end. They both have the ame sal, so they both have the same running_total=3450 (= 950 + 1250 + 1250). This is often a desireable result, but, in your case, it seems not to be. If you want separate running_totals for MARTIN and WARD, then you eigher have to use a ROW-based window, like we did earlier, or add a tie-breaker to the ORDER BY clause, like this:
{code}
SELECT     deptno
,     ename
,     sal
,     SUM (sal) OVER ( PARTITION BY deptno
               ORDER BY      sal
               ,          ename          DESC     -- Changed (this is the only change)
               )     AS running_total
FROM     scott.emp
ORDER BY deptno
,      sal          DESC
,     ename
{code}
Output:
{code}
` DEPTNO ENAME SAL RUNNING_TOTAL
10 KING 5000 8750
10 CLARK 2450 3750
10 MILLER 1300 1300
20 FORD 3000 10875
20 SCOTT 3000 7875
20 JONES 2975 4875
20 ADAMS 1100 1900
20 SMITH 800 800
30 BLAKE 2850 9400
30 ALLEN 1600 6550
30 TURNER 1500 4950
30 MARTIN 1250 3450
30 WARD 1250 2200
30 JAMES 950 950
{code}

Help with JTable - content of cell disappears when selected

Hello,
I have a jTable and I have created a custom cell renderer. It does what it's supposed to do (which is set the background color of all cells with null or "" value to red - as an indication to the user that b4 proceeding he/she has to fill in this cells). The problem is that when I select a red cell, it becomes white and the text value it contains disappears. When I double click I can start typing in a new value.
I would appreciate any hint why this happens? Ideally I would like the cell to keep its color when clicked or double-clicked and its value, and only when i'm done editing its content and it's not null or empty string to become white.
I'm including majority of my code (some automatically generated code from Netbeans is not included).
Thank you very much,
Laura

Ideally I would like the cell to keep its color when clicked or double-clicked Not sure why is changes color when you click on the cell.
But when you double click the editor is invoked, which is a JTextField and its background is white by default.
The code you posted doesn't help because its not executable.
If you need further help then you need to create a [Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)|http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html], that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.
And don't post NetBeans generated code, because we don't use IDE to write GUI code.
Also, why did you create a custom TableModel. The DefaultTableModel will store your data for you.

Need Help with instr/Regexp for the query

Hi Oracle Folks
I am using Oracle
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
I have some student responses and the valid values are +/-/O(alphabet)/P and spaces at the end of the sting only not in the middle.
As per my requirement the record number 2 3,4 should be listed from the query but I am getting only one (record 3).
Can we use REG_EXP
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing optionsThanks for posting this (and the WITH clause for the sample data). That's very helpful.
I have some student responses and the valid values are +/-/O(alphabet)/P and spaces at the end of the sting only not in the middle.Are you combining the responses to several qeustions in one VARCHAR2 column? It might be better to have a separate row for each question.
As per my requirement the record number 2 3,4 should be listed from the query but I am getting only one (record 3). What exactly is your requirement? Are you trying to find the rows where student_response contains any of the forbidden characters, or where it contains a space anywhere but at the end of the string?
Can we use REG_EXPYes, but it's easy enough, and probably more efficient, to not use regular expressions in this case:
Here's one way:
SELECT     record_number
,     student_response
FROM     x
WHERE     TRANSLATE ( UPPER ( RTRIM (student_response, ' '))
            , 'X+-OP'
            , 'X'
            )     IS NOT NULL
;That is, once you remove trailing spaces and all occurrences of '+', '-', 'O' or 'P', then only the forbidden characters are left, and you want to select the row if there are any of those.
If you really, really want to use a regular expression:
SELECT     record_number
,     student_response
FROM     x
WHERE     REGEXP_LIKE ( RTRIM (student_response)
              , '[^-+OP]'          -- or '[^+OP-]', but not '[^+-OP]'. Discuss amongst yourselves
              , 'i'
;but, I repeat, this will probably be slower than the first solution, using TRANSLATE.

The following is slightly simpler than TRANSLATE:
SELECT     record_number
,     student_response
FROM     x
WHERE     RTRIM ( UPPER ( RTRIM (student_response, ' '))
           , '+-OP'
           )          IS NOT NULL

Help with nvl and to_char in query

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with finding the reason that the following query gives me an invalid number error:
SELECT     to_char('dd/mm/yyyy',nvl(co_modified_date,co_added_date)) as d1
FROM     co_allergies_record_upd
WHERE          co_allergies_record_upd_id IN (
SELECT co_allergies_record_upd_id
FROM     co_allergies_link_upd
WHERE     co_allergies_rec_id = 42
ORDER BY     nvl(co_modified_date,co_added_date) DESC
Specifically, it is the nvl(co_modified_date,co_added_date) which is causing the error. The co_added_date has a NOT NULL constraint, and both are date fields. What could be causing the error?

You have missed format and data argument places in to_char():
SELECT to_char('dd/mm/yyyy',nvl(co_modified_date,co_added_date)) as d1
FROM co_allergies_record_upd
WHERE co_allergies_record_upd_id IN (
SELECT co_allergies_record_upd_id...

Help with PL/SQL returning SQL query for Report

Hi
I have got a report which I have formatted as PL/SQL function body returning SQL query.
I have the following code
declare
q VARCHAR2(32000); -- query
w VARCHAR2(4000) ; -- where clause
begin
q := 'select min(identified_date) first_identified,' ||
' max(actual_resolution_date) last_closed,' ||
' count("HELPDESK_CALL_ID) total_issues,' ||
' from tbl_helpdesk_calls';
if :P9_call_type != '-1' then
w := 'HELPDESK_CALL_TYPE_ID = :P9_call_type';
end if;
q := q || ' WHERE '|| w;
return q;
end;
When I apply changes I get this error message
Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the ''generic columns'' checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing. ORA-00972: identifier is too long
Any Idea where I maybe going wrong?

thanks its compiling now but when I run the page I get this error message in the reports region
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
This is my code that I have at the momment.
declare
q VARCHAR2(32000); -- query
w VARCHAR2(4000) ; -- where clause
we VARCHAR2(1) := 'N'; -- identifies if where clause exists
begin
q := 'select min(identified_date) first_identified,' ||
' max(actual_resolution_date) last_closed,' ||
' count(HELPDESK_CALL_ID) total_issues,' ||
' sum(decode(status,''Open'',1,0)) open_issues, ' ||
' sum(decode(status,''On-Hold'',1,0)) onhold_issues,' ||
' sum(decode(status,''Closed'',1,0)) closed_issues,' ||
' sum(decode(status,''Open'',decode
(priority,''High'',1,0),0)) open_high_prior,' ||
' sum(decode(status,''Open'',decode
(priority,''Medium'',1,0),0)) open_medium_prior, '||
' sum(decode(status,''Open'',decode
(priority,''Low'',1,0),0)) open_low_prior '||
' from tbl_helpdesk_calls';
if :P9_call_type != '-1' then
w := 'where HELPDESK_CALL_TYPE_ID = :P9_call_type';
we := 'Y';
end if;
if we = 'Y' then
q := q ||w;
end if;
return q;
end;
I have a select list with a list of reports. what I am trying to do build an sql depending on what the :p9_call_type value is. -1 represents the display value of -All Reports- so if the user selects all reports it should display all results thus removing the where clause. However as my code stands when I user clicks on all reports he get the correct results for all reports. If the user selects anything else they get the error message above.

Need Help With ACS LDAP setup to Query AD

I have 2 Win 2003 ADs, one of them is configured and working under Windows Database (using remote agent) configuration. I am trying to setup the second AD with Generic LDAP setup. I want to know what exactly I should use in the fields UserObjectType and Class, and GroupObjectType and Class for Windows 2003 AD. All Cisco documents give example of Netscape LDAP syntax. I was told by our server admin. what to put under Admin DN, CN=myid,OU=mygroup,OU=myorg,DC=mydomain,DC=com
I have both user & group directory subtree fields filled with DC=mydomain,DC=com.
I am using the ip address for Primary LDAP server, and port is 389, LDAP version 3 is checked.
Is any of these DC, OU, etc. case sensitive?
With all entries that I have tried, when I go to map a group, I am getting error "LDAP server NOT reachable. Please check the configuration". My ACS can ping the domain controller's IP address fine.
Please help. Thank you in advance,
Murali

Help With Movie That Continues to play when an External Link text button is clicked

I'm using Captivate 3.
I have a movie with Various Text Buttons one of my buttons in this particular module i'm creating when clicked opens an external PDF file for viewing.
However, my movie in the background keeps playing when i need it to stay on that Menu Screen with the various buttons.
Ideally so the user when done viewing the External PDF can then click another button to continue to the section in the movie where they need to go for the Software Demonstration.
Any Ideas on how to get it to stop??? I thought i had it working yesterday but today its not.. Its possible i removed a duplicate Pause or something?
*UPDATE - just went in to check the pause settings.. It PAUSES CORRECTLY if i Click the external Link button Once.. but if i click it again.. it reopens the link and then the demonstration starts playing in the background..
Please help
Christina

Can someone help with a div that pops up when you hover over a button?

I made a div that pops up (stacked on the rest of the page) when you hover over a button (gigs). It works in the safari preview but when I test it online it doesn't. It's above the logo instead of blocking it and on the left site instead of the right. And when you open the page it isn't hidden like in the preview. Does someone know what is wrong?
The test page: Stuff

Below code, onclick of 'GIGS' shows pop-up window. You then have a 'close' button which when clicked closes it.

Need some help with a bottom up recursive query

I need to query some hierarchical data. I've written a recursive query that allows me to examine a parent and all it's related children using an adjacency data model. The scenario is to allow users to track how columns are populated in an ETL process. I've
set up the sample data so that there are two paths:
1. col1 -> col2 -> col3 -> col6
2. col4 - > col5
You can input a column name and get everything from that point downstream. The problem is, you need to be able to start at the bottom and work your way up. Basically, you should be able to put in col6 and see how the data got from col1 to col6. I'm not sure
if it's a matter of rewriting the query or changing the schema to invert the relationships. Any input is welcome. Sample code below.
DECLARE @table_loads TABLE (column_id INT, parent_id INT, table_name VARCHAR(25), column_name VARCHAR(25))
DECLARE @column_name VARCHAR(10)
INSERT INTO @table_loads(column_id, parent_id, table_name, column_name)
SELECT 1,NULL,'table1','col1'
UNION ALL
SELECT 2,1,'table2','col2'
UNION ALL
SELECT 3,2,'table3','col3'
UNION ALL
SELECT 4,NULL,'table4','col4'
UNION ALL
SELECT 5,4,'table5','col5'
UNION ALL
SELECT 6,3,'table6','col6'
SELECT * FROM @table_loads
SET @column_name = 'col1'
WITH load_order(column_id, parent_id,table_name, column_name)
AS(
SELECT column_id, parent_id,table_name, column_name
FROM @table_loads
WHERE column_name = @column_name
UNION ALL
SELECT tl.column_id, tl.parent_id, tl.table_name, tl.column_name
FROM load_order lo
JOIN @table_loads tl
ON lo.column_id = tl.parent_id
SELECT * FROM load_order

Got it. It required a VERY subtle change in the join code:
WITH load_order(column_id, parent_id,table_name, column_name)
AS(
SELECT column_id, parent_id,table_name, column_name
FROM @table_loads
WHERE column_name = @column_name
UNION ALL
SELECT tl.column_id, tl.parent_id, tl.table_name, tl.column_name
FROM @table_loads tl
JOIN load_order lo
ON lo.parent_id = tl.column_id
SELECT * FROM load_order

Help with installing Office for Mac 2011 when I do not have the disks on another machine

I have a purchased legal version of Office for Mac 2011 on my personal laptop, and I just purchased one for the house (kids). I do not have the original product key. How do I get it registered so I can download a version to install on the laptop?
I have also logged in (or created accounts) with my two e-mail addresses, but it says neither is associated with Office. I am not sure what to do. Thx!!

Hi,
This forum is to discuss problems of Office development such as VBA, VSTO, Apps for Office .etc. But I find your question is related to the installing of Office for Mac 2011. So I suggest you posting it in Office
for Mac support for more effective responses.
Thanks.

Help with Date function in sql query....

My question I guess is really 2...I'm trying to use the date function as a comparison in my WHERE clause in my sql command.
1. My date format is dd-MMM-yy eg. (01-Apr-06) ... my problem is the Apr is lower case where my field in the database is 01-APR-06 so when I compare 01-Apr-06 to 01-APR-06 is doesnt find any rows. Is there away that I can make the Apr all upper case so that it is APR.
2. My second problem is getting this "date" field to work in my sql stmt I keep getting errors and it works fine if I take my attempts at trying to compare the date.
--------------Date Code----------------------------------------------------------
<%!
String getFormattedDate(java.util.Date d)
SimpleDateFormat simpleDate = new SimpleDateFormat("01-MMM-yy");
return simpleDate.format(d);
%>
<%
java.util.Date d = new java.util.Date();
String dateString = getFormattedDate (d);
%>
---------------------------Sql statment------------------------------------------
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery ("SELECT name " + " FROM table where rdate = '01-APR-06' order by name ");
Currently Im just hard coding the date but I need to make it so it uses the date code...so....
rdate should equal the date from the formatted date in upper case
something like
rdate = <%= dateString %>
Thanks in advance for any ideas anyone may have...

There are sql functions upper & lower.
SELECT name FROM table where upper(rdate) = '01-APR-06' order by name Or you could convert the date to a string, and use the toUpperCase & toLowerCase java.lang.String methods. It doesn't make much of a difference--do you want the java compiler to do the string conversion or the database?
