How to convert a date value into week value?

How to display the date value like '20010203'
into the week number of the year 2001?
When i type in the following sql
select week(chg_time) from site;
I got this error message
ORA-00904: invalid column name

use the to_char function, to format the date into a week number (then you might need to convert that to a number using to_number)
select to_char( sysdate, 'WW') from dual`

Hi Abirami,
To filter out date, you can use calendar component in Xcelsius. This article explains how to use the calendar component in an interactive way.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/b05b0244-0453-2e10-b4b3-fab707baddaf
Then with the help of an invisible combo box as explained in the article to could get just the selected month's data in bar chart.
Hope this helps.

How to convert rows to columns in sql server 2008

How to convert rows to columns in sql server 2008 using the GROUP BY function? (only one query allowed)

Lookup the Pivot transformation. From BOL:
The Pivot transformation makes a normalized data set into a less normalized
but more compact version by pivoting the input data on a column value. For
example, a normalized Orders data set that lists customer name, product, and quantity purchased typically has multiple rows for any customer who purchased multiple products, with each row for that customer showing order
details for a different product. By pivoting the data set on the product column, the Pivot transformation can output a data set with a
single row per customer. That single row lists all the purchases by the customer, with the product names shown as column names, and the quantity shown as a value in the product column. Because not every customer purchases every product, many columns may contain
null values.
When a dataset is pivoted, input columns perform different roles in the pivoting process. A column can participate in the following ways:
The column is passed through unchanged to the output. Because many input rows
can result only in one output row, the transformation copies only the first
input value for the column.
The column acts as the key or part of the key that identifies a set of
records.
The column defines the pivot. The values in this column are associated with
columns in the pivoted dataset.
The column contains values that are placed in the columns that the pivot
creates.

How to add one date column and charecter column

hi all,

but its showing value_error
how to add one date column and charecter column.
Thanks

you need something that does:
end_date (DATE) := start_date (DATE) + <number of
days> (NUMBER)Not necessarily, because if the duration is just a string representation of a number then it will be implicitly converted to a number and not cause an error
e.g.
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 with t as (select to_date('01/07/2007','DD/MM/YYYY') as start_dt, '3' as duration_days from dual)
2 -- END OF TEST DATA
3 select start_dt + duration_days
4* from t
SQL> /
START_DT+

How can I separate one column into multiple column?

How can I separate one column into multiple column?
This is what I have:
BUYER_ID ATTRIBUTE_NAME ATTRIBUTE_VALUE
0001 PHONE_NUMBER 555-555-0001
0001 EMAIL [email protected]
0001 CURRENCY USD
0002 PHONE_NUMBER 555-555-0002
0002 EMAIL [email protected]
0002 CURRENCY USD
0003 PHONE_NUMBER 555-555-0003
0003 EMAIL [email protected]
0003 CURRENCY CAD
This is what I would like to have:
BUYER_ID PHONE_NUMBER EMAIL CURRENCY
0001 555-555-0001 [email protected] USD
0002 555-555-0002 [email protected] USD
0003 555-555-0003 [email protected] CAD
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is another solution. Suppose your actual table's name is test(which has the redundant data). create a table like this:
CREATE TABLE test2 (BUYER_ID number(10),PHONE_NUMBER varchar2(50),EMAIL varchar2(50),CURRENCY varchar2(50));
then you will type this procedure:
declare
phone_number_v varchar2(50);
EMAIL_v varchar2(50);
CURRENCY_v varchar2(50);
cursor my_test is select * from test;
begin
for my_test_curs in my_test loop
select ATTRIBUTE_VALUE INTO phone_number_v from test
where person_id=my_test_curs.person_id
and attribute_name ='PHONE_NUMBER';
select ATTRIBUTE_VALUE INTO EMAIL_v from test
where person_id=my_test_curs.person_id
and attribute_name ='EMAIL';
select ATTRIBUTE_VALUE INTO CURRENCY_v from test
where person_id=my_test_curs.person_id
and attribute_name ='CURRENCY';
INSERT INTO test2
VALUES (my_test_curs.person_id,phone_number_v,EMAIL_v,CURRENCY_v);
END LOOP;
END;
Then you will create your final table like this:
create table final_table as select * from test2 where 1=2;
After that write this code:
INSERT ALL
into final_table
SELECT DISTINCT(BUYER_ID),PHONE_NUMBER,EMAIL,CURRENCY
FROM TEST2;
If you have a huge amount of data in your original table this solution may take a long time to do what you need.

How to convert a date field with format (dd,mm,yyyy) to format (mm,dd,yyyy)

Hello.
How to convert a date field with format (dd,mm,yyyy) to format (mm,dd,yyyy)
I have text field which has a databind to a date field. When I click on it, we can select the date, it is added on the format (dd,mm,yyyy). When I want to insert this date field to a database It doesnu2019t allow me to do it because it will only accept date field on the format (mm,dd,yyyy)
I tried to store this format on a date variable and I get a message saying that is impossible to convert a string into a date.
Regards,
Jose

Hi Jose,
usually you format strings in c# like
string.Format("{0:yyyyMMdd}", insertyourstring);
in your case
string.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}", insertyourstring);
[look here|http://idunno.org/archive/2004/14/01/122.aspx]
there are more details
if everything fails split the string with Mid()
or ask me

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]

Shaibayan

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.
