SELECT distinct state

+SPACE(35-len(state)),
len(state+SPACE(35-len(state)))
FROM dbo.ordersInfo
Thank you in advance

Fixed length CHAR(n) data in SQL is automatically padded with spaces. Either change the column's data type or cast to it. Also, the ISO-11179 rules are that the column should be "state_name" and not just the root attribute "state" -- state_code, state_population,
etc are a few of the confusions you created.
Another rule of RDBMS is that we do not do display formatting in the data. That is what presentation layers do. Why are you trying to fake COBOL in SQL?

How to add spaces at the end of record

Hi Friends,
i am creating a file which contains more than 100 records.
In ABAP i have internal table with on field(135) type c.
some time record have length 120, somtime 130 its vary on each record.
but i would like to add space at the end of each record till 135 length.
Can you please help me how to add speace at the end of record.
regards
Malik

So why did you said that in your first posting? My glass sphere is out for cleaning...
Instead of type c use strings and add spaces until they have the appropriate length.
loop at outtab assigning <pout>.
while strlen( <pout>-val ) < 135.
concatenate <pout>-val `` into <pout>-val.
endwhile.
endloop.

How to not repeat the column values if repeated on next line and so on..?

Hi all,
The XmlP template that is designed gives me the output as follows :
COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4 COL5 COL6 COL7
abc 1 1000.00 10.00 95.00 695.00 cad
abc 2 1000.00 100.00 95.00 695.00 cad
abc 3 1000.00 100.00 95.00 695.00 cad
But my requirement is as follows :
COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4 COL5 COL6 COL7
abc 1 1000.00 10.00 95.00 795.00 cad
- 2 - 100.00 - - -
- 3 - 100.00 - - -
Note : "-" indicates blank column values (gaps are being filled)
How do I not repeat the column values if repeated?
Please let me know if you have answer for it?
Thanks in Advance

Iam trying to design the xml publisher template using xmlp template builder.
My requirement is :
For a receipt number, I have receipt amount, applied amount, unapplied amount and on account amount. And for each receipt, there can be multiple applied amount ( as the receipt can be applied multiple times), but the unapplied amount, on account amount and receipt amount is single.
By using the logic as said above from http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/04/13
Iam getting the output something like this:
Receipt Number| Receipt Amount | App Amount |UnappAmount|OnaccountAmount|
111-b|249.28|249.28|0.00|0.00|
1110|1,000.00|10.00|95.00|795.00|
1110| -|10.00|-|-|
1112|1500.00|1,271.02|-|-|
1112|-|228.98|-|-|
My requirement is to go get something like this:
Receipt Number| Receipt Amount | App Amount |UnappAmount|OnaccountAmount|
111-b|249.28|249.28|0.00|0.00|
1110|1,000.00|10.00|95.00|795.00|
1110| -|10.00|-|-|
1112|1500.00|1,271.02|0.00|0.00| ---> here lies the difference
1112|-|228.98|-|-|
How do i check the duplicate of the column values only for a receipt number??
Because as for receipt no. 111-b the unapplied amount and on account amount is 0.00, the the unapplied amount and on account amount for receipt number 1112 is getting hided( because its a duplicate) . In reality, it should be 0.00 and any other line for that receipt number (1112) should be hided. except for the applied amount.
Note We can see that last 2 columns in the last record( for receipt number 1112) is getting hided that is as expected but for 4th record the unapplied amount and on account amount should be 0.00 respecively.
'-' indicates hided value
Please help.
Thanks in Advance

How to get the column values from a BC4J View Table in UIXML?

I am using a default UiXML Application for Order Entry system with Orders & Order Lines & Customers. I have a uix file OrdersView1_View.uix which displays (no updateable columns) all the Orders. How do I get the column value of a selected row in a BC4J Table (example:OrdersId) when a Submit button is pressed using UIXML or Java Classes?
I appreciate any help on this.

Hi,
You need to use keyStamp, an example:
<bc4j table name="orders">
<bc4j:keyStamp>
<bc4j:rowKey name="key" />
</bc4j:keyStamp>
Furthermore, you can automatically send the selected row key using the go event handler, so in the handlers section you could send the key to an orderInfo page:
<event name="show">

<ctrl:go name="orderInfo" redirect="true">
<ctrl:property name="key">
<ctrl:selection name="orders" key="key" />
</ctrl:property>
</ctrl:go>
</event>

How to get the column values

hi
i am new to programming... i would like to know how to get the column values... i have a resultset object
i need code .... asap
thnx

@OP: It is always good to type complete sentences and describe your problem at length. It helps in letting people know what you really need instead of making wild guesses or silly jokes. You post mentions that you get the ResultSet. Then you should look up the API docs for java.sql.ResultSet and take a look at the getxxx() method signatures. Use the ones which suit the specific case.
Besides, it is good to refrain from using asap and urgent. Even if something is urgent to you, it need not be urgent to others. Wording a question properly would attract better replies.
Finally, would you mind getting down to specifics of your problem? From what I perceived, the JDBC tutorial and the API docs should provide all the information you need.

How can I do that? Any help appreciated.

How to add description of a column of a table in SQL Azure

Hi
I have some tables in my application database where there are descriptions added against certain columns. Needless to say they were done by using sp_addextendedproperty.
Now I am trying to migrate the Database to SQL Azure. SQL Azure does not support sp_addextendedproperty.
Hence I am not able to figure out how to add descriptions to those columns.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
Just as Latheesh post above, Windows Azure SQL database are not support extended stored procedures. That’s one of the limitations on SQL database, and I don’t know there is another way to achieve the same on Azure.

How to accessing current row report column value in Lov Query?

Hi,
which access methods (eg. bind variables, substitutions, ...) for getting the current row report column value can be used in the "Lov Query" property of a report column?
As what I know of and what I have read on the forum there are no bind variables for the report columns. For the "Link Text" property it seems that the column values exist as substitution strings (#COLUMN_NAME#). But they don't work in the Lov Query. => And would be good because of a hard parse each time the Lov query is executed.
The following post (Re: Simulating a correlated sub query in lov
is showing a solution to use package variables for temporary storage of the referenced value, but the only problem with that solution is that if a new record is added with the "Add rows to tabular form" process the package variable still contains the value from the last queried row! Is there a way (variable, APEX package, ...) to determine if the lov query is executed for a new record so that the package can return null?
I know that I could write the package in a way that the value is immediately cleared when lov_pkg.keyval is called (one time read), but then I would have to create several variables if I'm accessing the value multiple times in the query or in another query => I think an one time read solution would be very obscurely.
Thanks for your help

Hi Patrick,
I agree that it's a waste to continually use Ajax to go back to the server to get the contents of a dynamic select list.
There are no bind variables for any row item - but what you do have, as per my previous post, is the value of the data entered by the user in the first row. You can pass this into your application process (using get.add("VARIABLENAME", value)), which can use it to retrieve the correct LOV in your Ajax code - this will give you a "bind variable" that your process can use.
What you could do, however, is generate hidden select lists on your page - one for each possible LOV list and replace the contents of the new row's select list with the contents of the appropriate hidden select list. This is easy to do with javascript (using innerHTML functions). Obviously, though, the usefulness of this depends on the number and size of the select lists.
Even if you don't generate them to start with, you can keep a copy of any select lists returned by Ajax in the DOM for use on new rows. So, if you have retrieved a select list, you will have a copy of it in DOM which you can then copy into the new row. If you don't have the list in DOM, use Ajax to get it, store a copy of it and copy it into the new row.
Which method you use will depend on the number/size of select lists needed. If they are few in number and/or size, I would suggest generating hidden lists. If they are large, use Ajax to get them once, store them and then retrieve them from the DOM when needed.
There is another thread here where Arie recommends going to the server every time to make sure you get the most up-to-date data for the lists. If you want to follow this advice, for this reason, use get.add("VARIABLENAME", value) to pass the value to your process. If this is not an issue, you can use one of the other methods I outlined above.
Regards
Andy

To get the count of records and able to access the column value in a single

Hi
Is there any way to get the number of records in the query and access the column values
e.g
select count(*)
from
(SELECT department, COUNT(*) as "Number of employees"
FROM employees
WHERE salary > 25000
GROUP BY department ) a
This wil only get the Count, if i want to access each row from the inline view how can i do that.

Your question is not clear.
Are you looking for total record count as well as count by department ?
Something like this?
SQL>
SQL> with temp as
2 (
3 select 1 dept ,10000 sal from dual union
4 select 1 dept ,25100 sal from dual union
5 select 1 dept ,30000 sal from dual union
6 select 1 dept ,40000 sal from dual union
7 select 2 dept ,10000 sal from dual union
8 select 2 dept ,25100 sal from dual union
9 select 2 dept ,30000 sal from dual union
10 select 2 dept ,40000 sal from dual )
11 select count(*) over( partition by 1 ) total_count,dept,
12 count(*) over(partition by dept) dept_cnt from temp
