Simple Question: How to search for a date value in SELECT

Probabily a simple question, but in a SELECT statement, how do you do a search for a date value in the WHERE clause?
example:
Select * From Example
Where date = 01/01/2001
I know its not as simple as that, but what change has to occur to make it do what that example implies?
Thanks In Advance.

If you want to avoid the conversion part(to_date) you will need to specify the date in the format as ur nls date format.so the same query might not work if you change ur nls date format.
so it is advisable to give it in general format.
ie where date_col=to_date(01-01-2000,'dd-mm-yyyy')

How to wait for a date field to be not empty in Designer workflow

I am working on a workflow and need to pause the workflow to wait until a date field has been completed. I am aware of setting dates to a workflow variable of type string to check for null, but there is no way in the Designer workflow to wait until a workflow variable is not empty.
Does anyone know of a workaround to this?

Hi,
I agree with Andrej about using a Textfield as a alternative.
But, I think you can try to add a new task (set the date value) into your workflow before other tasks.
Let me know if you have further questions!
Hope it is helpful!

How to look for a certain value in a database using sql

Hello everyone. How do you do this in SQL? Or, is there a way to look for a certain value in a database? What I'm trying to do is this:
I want to look for the exact value "abcdefg" in the database so that oracle will return me details on the following that contains the said value:
1. the name of the table(s)
2. the column/field name(s)
Note: "abcdefg" could exist in different tables with different column names with different data types.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
UPDATE: What about if I just want to check those fields/columns with string data types?

Duplicate y-axis labels on charts for small data values -- is this a bug?

Hi,
I have several charts where the data values are small (1,2,3). The y-axis labels are duplicated for these charts. For example, if the data value was 2 the y-axis labels display as 0 1 1 1 2 2 2. I know that I can manually set the maximum y-axis value and also set the segments on the chart to eliminate the duplicate values. My issue is that I have over 100 charts in my dashboard and I have to manually set the values each month, and then in the next month when the data values are larger I have to remove the maximum y-axis value so the y-axis value is dynamically created. Is this a known bug within the software? Is there any fix for this besides what I'm already doing?
Please let me know if anyone else has seen this issue and if this is a bug, or if this has been corrected in any fix packs.
Thanks!!

Hi Jim,
I have data for three months in the data range A1 to B3 as given below -
Jan - 1
Feb - 2
Mar - 3
In Cell D1 write a formula =MAX(B1:B3)+1 (This will give you value 4)
Go to Chart property -> Behavior -> Scale -> Manual (Y) Axis -> Minimum 0 and Maximum will be pointing to cell D1.
Go to Chart property -> Behavior -> Scale -> Division -> Size of Division 1 and Minor Divisions 1
This will give you Y Axis values as 0,1,2,3,4
Now change value of any month to 5. Now value in D1 would become 6 and Y-Axis would change to 0,2,4,6.
Hope this helps.

How to start for reorg datas ?

Hi members,
I have a few questions about an 9i Oracle database for using with IBM WebSphere Commerce.
DB is not very big ... only 1,3 Gb.
Production release : 9.2.0.7
Every night at 2:00am I have a task for analyzing statistics on all tables (3 schemas) but
I don't have tasks for reorganize datas.
How can I verify that reorg datas is very needed ?
Is there SQL Statement to identify it and which columns or values are important ?
When we talk about reorg ... does it concern tables only or does it concern tables and indexes ?
Do you have resources for reorg datas with no risk ? (tutorial, technical note)
Sorry for my questions but I was in a Oracle DBAI et DBAII Training and I never saw how to reorg datas.

Hi,
Firstly, I feel that analysing all data every day is probably an overkill. Well, if your data is updated drastically every day then its required.
I am not familier with Websphere, Is there a special activity called as data re-organisation? or you are talking about normal re-organisation of data?
If we are talking about just reorganising data, to get rid of fragmentation, alter table .... move will do the job. This will invalidate the indexes, but there are clauses which will rebuild the indexes.
Again, this is a big excercise and should be done only when there is a substential reason to do so.

HTML Dataset - how to filter based on data values within columns

I have had success with using the XML dataset and filtering based on user input (see javascript example below)
<script type="text/javascript">
var ds2 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("disciplinary_actions3.xml", "doh/disciplinary_actions2[type='<? echo($type) ?>'][name>='<? echo($name) ?>']");
ds2.setColumnType("date-of-sanction", "date");
</script>
The XML dataset filters the results based on the type and name values within the XML dataset columns.
I need to accomplish this type of filtering with an HTML table. All that I have been able to accomplish with the use of the in the rowselector (see example below)
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
How can I filter the HTML dataset based on the data VALUES within the table columns and NOT the class or id or span or div,,,etc?
Although my advanced dataselector within Dreamweaver CS4 has a column selector... I can't under or get it to work.
Any assistance or direction is greatly appreciated.

Hi Ron,
According to your description, you want to pass the Terminal number that user logon to where clause without needing to create a userid table, right?
As per my understanding, you need to add an additional table to store the user and corresponding terminal, so that you can filter the data to show the rows based on the user and corresponding terminal. Here are some blogs which describe dynamic security
on tabular model, please see:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/himanshu1/archive/2013/03/02/implementing-dynamic-security-in-tabular-models.aspx
http://www.bidn.com/blogs/ChrisSchmidt/ssas/4332/dynamic-security-in-tabular
If this is not what you want, there is no other approach to pass the Terminal number that user logon to where clause without needing to create a userid table. Thank you for your understanding.

How to Search for a Date in a string having both characters and date

Hi ,
I have a requirement to search DATE in the String having Both Characters and DATE . Please kindly let me know as early as possible.
Regards
Anil Kumar K

Try to use SEARCH command with the pattern, making the pattern as fine as it can, like if you have your date in the format 02/23/2007, you can give
SEARCH STRING FOR ' //'. (assuming the date has at least a single blank before it)
WRITE: SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
SY-FDPOS is set to offset of the string from which you can get the date value
Refer here
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/fc/eb33cc358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
It would have been better if there is something like UNIX "regular expression" matching in ABAP

How to query for a NULL value?

Hi all,
how can I query for a NULL value in a ViewObject. I tried to set null as where-clause param [setWhereClauseParam(0, null)]. But the created statement looks like this:
SELECT ...
FROM ...
WHERE param = null
I would expect it to create something like WHERE param IS NULL. I hope anybody has a solution for this.
Thanks,
Axel

I think you should use setWhereClause("COL_NAME IS NULL")
You could use setWhereClauseParam(0, "NULL"), but only if you have a predefined query similar to: "SELECT X, Y, Z FROM A WHERE X IS :0" (which is a pretty useless query, as you can ONLY set "NULL" as the value for ":0").

How to find out Maximum date value in RPD.

Hi All,
I have a date column i want to get the maximum date value from that column. I am trying this expression MAX( "sales"."book"."date") in new logical column i am getting the RPD inconsistence error. Database is SQL server 2005. Is there any problem in my syntax?
Thanks in advance.

Is that column date part of time dimension?
What does error say? syntax should be ok - maybe something to do with your DB settings in physical layer.
can you try to create the same column in Answers? (select fx button of the column and then add MAX ( ) around the column.

How to insert the Formatted date value and insert into the database

Hi All,
I am having requirement of inserting the date value in to the datbase. I'm already getting the value from file as MM-DD-YYYY. Getting exception while transforming the values through the transform activity. I'm using format fate function but it is inserting null value in to the database.
Any help from anyone would bve appreciated.
Thanks,
CH

Hi,
your input date format is fixed right? So, in the transform you can split each your date, which is in 'MM-DD-YYYY' format ... extract day, month, year.
After that ... just put these values in order acording to the format of 'xsd:date' data type which is '[-]CCYY-MM-DDZ'.
XPath function 'xp20:format-dateTime()' works only with 'xsd:dateTime' data type, which has format '[-]CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ'.
So, in your case it could be:
<xsl:variable name="day" select="substring($inputDate,4,2)"/>
<xsl:variable name="month" select="substring($inputDate,1,2)"/>
<xsl:variable name="day" select="substring($inputDate,7,4)"/>
<xsl:variable name="outputDate">
<xsl:value-of select="$year"/>
<xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$month"/>
<xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$day"/>
</xsl:variable>

How to enter Text or Date Value?

Hi, I am using Planning 9.3.1 and tried to enter text or date value into account
which is defined as text or date, but I can only type numeric value into the cell.
Is there anyone who knows the reason why I can't type in text or date?
Thanks.
Regards,
Jerry

You need to set the Evaluation Order to make this work. Once you tell Planning which dimension has priority (Account) the date format should work in a form. This is accessible through the Administration->Dimensions menu pick in the rightmost tab.
Without that evaluation priority, the data just displays as a number.
Once set, you must enter data in a format that mirrors your system locale or Planning application default/user preference. You will not be able to enter a whole number.

How to Add a New Filter Value in BEx WAD to Display All Result

Hi experts,
I want to add a new filter value in BEx WAD to display all data records. The scenario is as follows:
The status field can have two values: Active ("A) and Inactive ("I").
But the requirement is to have a third value to display all the data records (Active + Inactive). E.g. the value can be "G". The purpose is to increase the understandability for report users.
Does anyone have an idea?
Regards,
Joon

Hi Vineet,
thanks for your reply. The problem is that there are only 2 values available for this Characteristic: "A" or "I".
The requirement is to have a third value "G" (instead of the default "All Value") due to historical reason, because all future report users have been working with R/3 reports for quite some time and they are accustomed to using "G" for displaying all values.
Is there any possibility to realize this?
Thanks,
Joon
