How Can I Extract a Substring in WHERE Clause of CFQUERY ?

Is it possible to extract a substring in the WHERE clause of either <CFQUERY> or in a Query of Queries? I am trying to use the following query to find all email addresses with the domain "comcast.net" (i.e. everything after the "@" in the email address). I am querying an MS-Access database table.
<cfquery name="test" datasource="membership">
      SELECT email_address
      FROM tblMembers
      WHERE MID(email_address, INSTR(email_address, '@') + 1) = 'comcast.net'
</cfquery>
If I attempt this as a query, I get the error message "[Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Data type mismatch in criteria expression."
If I attempt it as a QoQ, I get the error message 'Encountered "MID ( email1 ,. Incorrect conditional expression, Expected one of [like|null|between|in|comparison] condition,'.
I would be very grateful for any help on finding something that works! Thanks for your help!

Couldn't you do a LIKE in the where clause instead:
SELECT email_address
FROM tblMembers
WHERE email_address LIKE '%@comcast.net'
That should get you the addresses you are looking for.

How can I pass multiple condition in where clause with the join table?

Hi:
I need to collect several inputs at run time, and query the record according to the input.
How can I pass multiple conditions in where clause with the join table?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,

If you are using SQL-Plus or Reports you can use lexical parameters like:
SELECT * FROM emp &condition;
When you run the query it will ask for value of condition and you can enter what every you want. Here is a really fun query:
SELECT &columns FROM &tables &condition;
But if you are using Forms. Then you have to change the condition by SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY.
Best of luck!

How can I avoid hard-coding this where clause in the inner select?

This is extremely fast, but I have to hard-code the inner-most where clause, and I obviously can't do that. I know how to work-around it by creating a function that takes the CUSTOMER_ID and returns the ORDER_ID from the most recent payment, and that's reasonably fast, but I thought it would be worthwhile to see if there was a way to do this in straight SQL. I also know that better design could make the problem go away.
Very much appreciate it if you could take a look and let me know if there's any way to get this kind of performance without hard-coding.
Thanks,
create or replace view customer_view as
select customer.customer_id,
          customer.customer_name,
               select t.order_id
                    from (
                              select payment.order_id
                                   from payment
                                   where payment.customer_id = 1 -- <-- Here's the line where I'm hard-coding the customer_id. Is there any way to reference the customer_id without hard-coding this?
                                   order by payment.payment_date desc
                         ) t
                    where rownum = 1
          ) as latest_order_id
     from customer
select * from customer_view where customer_id = 1; <-- I want that inner-most select to use this customer_id, without having to hard-code it.

Hi Matt,
Something like this could be a possibility (Not tested)
create or replace view customer_view as
select customer.customer_id,
         customer.customer_name,
         (select min (t.order_id)
                   keep (dense_rank first order by payment.payment_date desc)
          from   payment
          where payment.customer_id = customer.customer_id)
           as latest_order_id
from   customer;Regards

How can i extract using while the time from the string ?

First time how can i extract the time as string ?
And second how can i extract the time as DateTime.Now ?
public static void ExtractDateTime()
htmltoextract = new Uri("http://test.com");
client = new WebClient();
f = client.DownloadString(htmltoextract);
client.Dispose();
int index = 0;
while (index != -1)
int t = f.IndexOf(firstTag);
int g = f.IndexOf(lastTag);
a = f.Substring(t + firstTag.Length, g - t - 8);
The string look like this: thisisateststring201309202145andthenextimeinthestringis201309202130andthelastofthisexampletimeinthisstringis201309202115
What i need to do is first time to extract the time as string to a List<string> like this:
index 0 201309202145
index 1 201309202130
index 2 201309202115
The second time to extract the times as this time format: YYYYMMDDhhmm and also to add the times to a List.
First time and second time i mean first example and second example. To use my code but first time to extract it as strings second example as the format of YYYYMMDDhhmm
And i need to use the while and indexof and substring in this cases.

Is the region always going to be "eu" or are you going to have more than one region. Since you are reading a string DateTime from different timezone than the computer you are reading the data you have to convert to a different timezone.
It looks like you have at least 'is' and 'eu' for regions. I don't know what offsets you need so try something like this.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using System.Globalization;
using System.IO;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
string input = File.ReadAllText(@"c:\temp\test.txt");
string pattern1 = @"imageUrls = \[[^\]]*\]";
Regex ex1 = new Regex(pattern1, RegexOptions.Singleline);
string pattern2 = @"region=(?'region'[^&]*)&time=(?'time'\d{12})";
Match match1 = ex1.Match(input);
Regex ex2 = new Regex(pattern2, RegexOptions.Singleline);
MatchCollection matches2 = ex2.Matches(match1.Value);
IFormatProvider provider = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
List<DateTime> dateTime = new List<DateTime>();
foreach (Match match2 in matches2)
string region = match2.Groups["region"].Value;
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(match2.Groups["time"].Value, "yyyyMMddHHmm", provider);
switch (region)
case "eu" :
dt.AddHours(1);
break;
case "is":
dt.AddHours(-1);
break;
dateTime.Add(dt);

How can I extract Java source from Oracle?

I have an object of type "JAVA SOURCE" in my database. I do not have the source
code available.
How can I extract this source from the database so I can read it? I am not a Java programmer, so a sql or pl/sql solution would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

This query lists any Java object that the current database user has (JAVA SOURCE, JAVA CLASS or JAVA RESOURCE). Use this to determine which Java sources exist.
SELECT * FROM USER_OBJECTS
WHERE OBJECT_TYPE LIKE 'JAVA%'This query lists the source of one Java object.
SELECT * FROM USER_SOURCE
WHERE TYPE = 'JAVA SOURCE'
AND NAME = 'com/acme/HelloWorld'Substitue the name of the java class you're interested in for 'com/acme/HelloWorld'.
I know that the question is four years old, but I had the same question and arrived here via Google, so I figured posting an answer might help others in a similar situation.

How can I extract page with showing the e-sign signatures?

How can I extract page with showing the e-sign signatures? When I extract pages, the e-sign signatures are all disappear. Or can I save the documents without verify the signatures? When I open the documents, it need verify the signatures and then open it now.

Hi Ada,
The thing you have to realize is when using Acrobat or Reader to create a digital signature you are signing the whole document (all of the bytes in the document). You are not signing just the page where the signature appearance resides.
Another thing to realize is the signature appearance (what you see on the page in the signature field) is not the signature itself. The signature proper is a block of hex encoded bytes written into the PDF file and not something you see (unless you open the file in a text editor). What you see on the page is just a graphical representation of the actual signature, but it's not the actual signature.
When you extract a page (even if it had the signature appearance on it) it is just a sub-set of the signed bytes, and if the signature were to be extracted as well it would be invalid because the bytes in the extracted file would not match the bytes in the signature. Because the signature in the extracted document would always be invalid we just remove it.

How can I extract the native SQL generated by TopLink?

How can I extract the native SQL generated by TopLink?
This is useful for example to use pagination, or pass the SQL to a stored procedure that may do many things, like using a cursor, or apply security.
Pagination example where the SQL inside the inner parentheses are generated from Toplink, and the outer SQL is generic:
select *
from
(select xx.*, rownum as rn
from
(select o.order_id, r.name, ...
from placed_order o, restaurant r
where o.restaurant_id = r.restaurant_id
order by o.order_ext_id
) xx
where rownum < 21)
where rn > 10

Alternatively, you can open your sessions.xml in the Mapping Workbench and for a specific session, you can Click the Login Tab and then the Options tab. Then select "Native SQL" and it will be outputted to the console (assuming that is where you outputing it).

Using a Sony DSC-N2 Cybershot Camera I recorded video that was saved as “MOV01606.MPG”. The video plays back with sound in Quicktime Pro and iTunes but how can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert your .mpg files to QuickTime formats.
QuickTime can't extract audio from muxed file formats.

How can i extract just documents from time machine backup?

How can I extract just my documents from a time machine backup? I had to re-install Lion after the update screwed things up, the Genius Bar guy told me to re-install each App, and then transfer just my data (documents) back but didn't tell me how. I only see how you can restore the entire snapshot of what was on my MacBook that day, I don't see how to select specifics.

Hi,
Install a fresh Lion OS on your Mac. After this is done, then connect your time capsule. Click on the time machine icon in the dock bar so you will enter in time machine. Select the document folder and any document or all you need. The same thing you can do with iPhoto, Emails, etc.
Let me know

How can I extract the two channels from a stereo track?

Hi,
I am writing a class that is able to draw an audio signal. It seems to be working well but I have a question. If I load a mono audio file I am able to draw it on a graph by using the byte[] array and everything is ok until now. That's the code:
void Draw(byte[] x)
            Graphics g=getGraphics();
            Graphics2D g2=(Graphics2D)g;
            g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,                     RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
            for(int i=0; i<x.length-6; i++)
                g2.draw(new Line2D.Float(((i*(getWidth()-6))/x.length)+5, (getHeight()/2)-          ((x*(getWidth()-6))/x.length), (((i+1)*(getWidth()-6))/x.length)+5, (getHeight()/2)-     ((x[i+1]*(getWidth()-6))/x.length)));
The results is correct only if I have a mono track. Obviously when I get a stereo track the array becomes very large so here the question. How can I extract the two audio channels from a stereo track?
Thanks in advance.
Maurizio Di Vitto

A mono audio stream is stored [sample, sample, sample, sample], so just a list of samples in an array.
A stereo sample is interleaved in the same manner, so you get [left-sample, right-sample, left-sample, right-sample]
So every nth sample is the 1st channel, every nth+1 is the 2nd channel...
