How to convert a boolean expression into a number in SQL (not PL/SQL)

I have a boolean expression
FIELD IN (SELECT FIELD FROM TABLE)
which I would like to convert into a number, preferably into 0 for true and into 1 for false. The reason being that I want to sum the values in a HAVING clause.
I have tried with DECODE, SIGN, TO_NUMBER, but all fail with an error message to the order of wrong type of argument.
Does anyone have an idea?

  • How to convert a PDF file into a full editable WORD file?

    Hi,
    I tried to convert a pdf file into word but it is not fully editable. I can edit the title from the main page and that's it. The rest of the word document is saved as image. I tried editing teh pdf file but that one is not working either.
    Please help on how to convert a PDF file into a full editable WORD file.
    Thank you

    Not all PDF files are created equal.  When a PDF file is created with Adobe Tools it is usually "tagged" with information about the fonts the images, the layout etc...    This way when the PDF is saved to a new format like PPT or DOC then the results are usually usable.  However, if you have a PDF file that was not tagged for some reason then run the Accessibility tools on the PDF to acquire some basic tagging.  This may get you a better result.  Also if you have a PDF that is an image, then you may want to run OCR on it.

  • How to convert my MM alias into an AppleID to use it with iCloud?

    I used MobileMe and created a mail that became my Apple ID. Then I created an alias that became my main e-mail so now with iCloud I wish that aslias could become my Apple ID. I don't care to loose the first Apple ID but "How to convert my MM alias into an AppleID to use it with iCloud?"

    You cannot convert an alias to Apple ID.
    You can transfer your MM to iCloud with your main Apple ID.
    There will be your alias as well.

    Hi Srini
    1. Copy/Paste Webdynpro components in the new project as was suggested before

    Hi Shabarish,
    The code works but what if the input is something like [   10.000-] i.e. with some spaces before 10.000- and the output as per your code comes as [-     10.000]. How do we tackle such cases if there is inconsistency in data i.e. some values come as [    10.000-] i.e. spaces before the number and some values as [12.000-].
    The output of this will come as
    [-    10.000]
    [-12.000]
    How to make it as
    [-10.000]
    [-12.000]

  • How to convert a word document into the PDF format?

    Please instruct me step by step on how to convert several Word documents into the PDF format?

    If properly installed and updated (depending on the WORD version), you can simply do any of the following:
    1. Open the doc in WORD and select Print, choose the Adobe PDF printer, print.
    2. Open the doc in WORD and go to the Acrobat menu in WORD and select create PDF (this uses PDF Maker).
    3. Open the doc in Acrobat and the conversion should be done based on PDF Maker.

  • How to convert a protected document into a PDF?

    Hello,
    I need to develop a plugin that needs to convert a protected document in office format into a pdf. I looked into the sdk and found the method AVConversionConvertToPDFWithHandler (). But can this method also apply the digital rigths of the protected document to the newly created pdf?
    Is there any other way to convert a protected document into a pdf and at the same time apply the rights to the pdf? I don't want to use Adobe LiveCycle for digital rights management.
    What are the requirements to develop a DRM plugin for acrobat?
    Please Help!
    Thanks in advance!

    The AVConversion APIs will use Office itself to perform the conversion (well, the rendering part).   I would ASSUME that when Office opens the document, it will ask for any necessary passwords or other information to determine if the user has the rights to view and/or process the content of the document.  If they do, then the conversion will succeed otherwise it will fail.   The PDF will not have any DRM applied to it, since we don't know anything about the Office DRM options.
    If you wish to apply DRM to the PDF, you will need to do that yourself or using tools such as LiveCycle Rights Management.

    >But, from the windows explorer, if i do a right clic on the word document, with the context menu, i can directly convert to PDF
    This is equivalent to using the PDFMaker facility in Word - that is,
    the Acrobat button. Which is also the same thing that is done when you
    use File > Create PDF > From File in Acrobat.
    What it does is print to a PS file *and* do a lot of additional
    processing to write stuff about links, tags etc. into the PS file.
    >(no tmp PS file is used, cause the links are still working).
    This isn't true, but it's certainly the case that you won't get links.
    There seems to be no API, via any mechanism, still less the "obsolete"
    (Microsoft's view) command line, to use PDFMaker from your program.
