How to eliminate the column data which just has a special character

Hello All,
I working on a query which will query the table and returns only the meaningful data. In the table, I have the data like this
ID                SearchWord
1                   20A-1
2                   Mainline
3                   %
4                   -
5                   Little Rock, AR
When I select the data from this table, In the result set, I don't want to see '%' record, '-' record. If a SearchWord contains the special character along with other alpha numeric characters its fine. But if a record contains only special characters,
I wanted to eliminate them. How can I achieve this?
Thanks so much for all your help.

SELECT *
FROM Table
WHERE SearchWord NOT LIKE '%[^0-9A-Za-z]%'
AND SearchWord LIKE @Yourparameter

How to get the PDF data which i have send to Spool

Dear Freinds,

Please tell me how i can get the all the fields which are there in my normal alv output ......
Case 1) .i wanted all the 10 fields in PDF to be displayed without truncated , I have checked in Spool ........ i found all the fields are there .....but however when i check the downloaed PDF i can see some fields are getting truncated.
Case 2) However if on the ALV output if the user hides 2 fields out of 10 fields then only 8 feilds which are appearing on the output before sending the Spool should only be displayed in PDF as well -
> for this scenario what i have to do.
Thanks Once again.

How to change the column value which is coming from DO by a calculated field?

Hi all,
I want to change a column value based on my calculated field value. I have a column which is coming from DO which is based on External Data Source. I have a calculated field in my report. When there is any change in the calculated field then the column which is coming from DO needs to be changed. It means the DO needs to get updated when there is a change in the calculated field. Or like if the calculated field meets some condition then I need to change/update the same in the DO. This has to be done on the fly. the report should not submitted for this. when there is a change in the calculated column the DO column needs to get updated.
Thanks,
Venky.

How to encrypt the media data which obtained from JMF?

hi ,everybody,
I am a new here, and my group is busy at SIP phone program,and we hava got some problems several days ago.
we created the DataSource by processor,and we want to encrypt the data before send them out,is there anyone can tell me what should we do?
please help.
thanks.

There are lots and lots of traps you can fall into when talking about encryption of data. I don't have a clue what a SIP phone is but assuming that your program is Java based then you need to do a lot of background reading. A good starting point is "Beginning Cryptography with Java" by David Hook published by Wrox.

How to Hide/show the columns data while doing Drill down or drill up

Hi ,
How to Hide/show the columns data while doing Drill down or drill up in webi report .
Does it possible BO 3.1 version ?
Please suggest me on this.
Thanks & Regards
Venkat

While that is not there yet, you can make use of the show when empty yes/no in combination with alerters.
So I have an alerter applied to every cell of the table.
When a condition is true (say I drilled down) I just put = "" in every cell, emptying the table,
because its now empty and doesn't need to show, it wont.
For the detail table I use the opposite, so when you drilled down it becomes visible...
Hope this helps all that do not have 40 yet
Good luck,

The Apple article will transfer everything from one volume to another. Doing what you want is not simple, unfortunately.
See Transferring Home Folders not on a Startup volume, especially scenario #1 in the gray box there.
That's just recently reworded and revised; please advise if it's not clear or you have problems with it.

How to get the column index inside a dataTable

Hello,
before I get staked, there are multiple threads handling familiar topics to the one I'm questioning about but none gives an anwer. If there is one, I'm propably to less skilled to see it.
So here is my Problem: I've build a web-interface to a time-recording system. The hours worked on a certain project are displayed in a dataTable component which is generated out of a mySQL Query. Each entry (column/row) contains a inputText component to display and edit the specific value.
Editing one of these inputText elements now fires a valueChangeEvent which reads the new value and stores it in the database. For that cause I need to know the row- and column-index of the inputText component that fired the event.
Using the getClientId method from the valueChangeEvent I get some Information which makes it possible to calculate the row/column index. A typical clientID looks like "form_table:mainTable:0:_id14". "form_table" is the ID of the form the dataTable is in. "mainTable" is the id of the dataTable component. "0" is the row the component is in. And finally "_id14" stands for the id randomly given to the inputText component by JSF.
My Problem is now, that though I can calculate the column out of the[i] "_id14", this calculation is hardcoded. So everytime I add a component in before the dataTable, the calculation needs to be adjusted in the code.
The Questions:
- How to force a sensefull id indicating a column-index for the inputText components inside the columns of a dataTable?
- Nicer since no workaround: How to get the column-index inside the dataTable on a natural way? (e.g. out of the valueChangeEvent the specific inputText component fires)
After some investigation here on the board and on the net I know multiple ways to get the row index, (Things like component-binding and so on) but I can't find a answer on how to get the column-index.
Thanks to all answers and/or links to things my eyes missed while searching for one.

...then index 0 becomes index 1 and my program doesn't work properlyThe program works properly, just not as you expect it to.
As you've noticed the table gives you the flexibility to move columns around. So if you move column 0 to column 1, why would you expect to still use 0 as the index? The table manages the reordering of columns for you to make sure the data being displayed in each table column comes from the correct column in the data model.
You can manage this yourself using one of the following methods (I forget which one):
table.convertColumnIndexToModel(int viewColumnIndex)
table.convertColumnIndexToView(int modelColumnIndex)
Or, you can get data from the data model directly:
table.getModel().getValueAt(row, 0);
