How to find Base columns(mandatory columns)

hi sir,
Is it any easy way to find the Base columns....
with Regards..

Hi ,
Plz post the ques stating clearly.
Otehrwise we can get what for u are asking.
If u want to know mandatory columns in any table
In General
just desc that table and check not not null columns .
all are mandatory columns.
For Interfaces
If u want to know mandatory columns in interface tables to upload into apps
then check for not null coulmns and all other dependent columns in which these columns refers some other tablles(base tables).
For API's
For APi's go thru the procedure which one is required for ur need.
and check all the not null columns,
u must pass all those.and also find otehr columns which are mandatory to
store in base tables in the front-end means whatever the yellow fields in the front screens are mandatory one.So prove all those in the API.
For more info go thru user Docs & TRMS & API's irepository.

How to find if COLUMN DEFAULT VALUE is stored as metadata?

Hello,
I'm using Oracle 11g enhanced ADD COLUMN Functionality. Adding new columns with DEFAULT values and NOT NULL constraint no longer requires the default value to be stored in all existing records.
Sometimes we change DB columns from NOT NULL with DEFAULT to NULL with DEFAULT. This operation "materialize" column default.
Is there an easy way (Dictionary view) how to find, that COLUMN default value is stored as metadata or is "materialized" ?
Thanks. Filip
Oracle RDBMS version : Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production

Thanks for your suggestion, but it is not what i'm looking for :-(
I don't need to find the default value, i need to know how is default value stored. It could be stored in 2 ways.
1. "materialized" - prior to 11G (value is physicaly stored for every column)
2. "as a metadata" - new 11G functionality (default is not physicaly stored and if you query the column DB transalte NULL value to defaut value)
Now I would like to now if my column is type 1) or 2). How can I do it?
Thank you.Filip

How to find a column name in tables

Hello Guys,
I need to find a column name "company_id"
in all the tables in my schema. How can i dont this?
Is there any view that search for coulmns in a table. Please help.
Regards, Imran

Questions about the dictionary are best answered by querying DICT.
In this case
select * from dict where table_name like '%COL%'
Alternatively you can look in the Oracle reference manual for your version.
The information is online, there is little need to ask around here.

How to find a column by sampling data?

Can any one help me to identify the columns
which are ssn by sampling the data in the database or to run a query/script against each table so that the result
will tell you that the data in a a particular column seems to be a ssn ?[I have identified the columns in tables
which has ssn as there column names]. Please help...

You can use regexp to check the rows.
select ssn from some_table
where regexp_like(ssn,'^[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}$')
OR
with ssns as
        ( select '123-254-5455' ssn from dual
union all select '.23-254-5455' ssn from dual
union all select '1232545455' ssn from dual

union all select '123-254-54552' ssn from dual
union all select '0123-254-5552' ssn from dual
select ssn ,regexp_replace(ssn,'^[0-9]{3}[-][0-9]{3}[-][0-9]{4}$','VALID') xc

How to find base character from an accented character

Hi, given an accented character (�, �, �, etc...) is there a way to retrieve its base character? In the case above, a, o and c respectivelly?
I searched in this forum and google and didn't find a definitive answer.
The reason i need this is because in my database, some records have accented content, and now i need to generate a textfile to transfer daily to a bank, but the bank doesn't accept accented characters.
Thanks.

Decompose the Unicode string -- i.e., perform an NFC transformation -- and then strip off the diacritical marks, as done in VietPad editor.
There is a native class, java.text.Normalizer, but it is not made public until Mustang release.

In the below example i clearly know that deptno column precision is 2 and i am inserting bigger value that is why i am getting error .
let us consider a scenario where i am trying to insert 40 colunm values into table and one column is causing the problem , how to find that column alone .

Oracle does not provide the column information in the error message and I don't know of any way to do so outside of developing something convoluted. For example:
SQL> DECLARE
2     te_row temp_emp%ROWTYPE;
3 BEGIN
4
5     te_row.empno := 1234;
6     te_row.ename := 'ABC';
7     te_row.job    := 'CLERK';
8     te_row.deptno := 1000;
9
10     INSERT INTO temp_emp
11          VALUES te_row;
12 END;
13 /
DECLARE
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: number precision too large
ORA-06512: at line 8Also, that EXCEPTION block has a bug in it (no RAISE or RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR).

How to find out the selected column in Table Control

Hi all,
      How to find out the selected column in Table Control?
Thanks & Regards,
YJR

Hi,
Let your table control name in Screen painter be TC1.
READ TABLE TC1-COLS INTO WA_COLS (some wok area)
             WITH KEY SELECTED = 'X'.
        IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
          CLEAR: W_DUMMY, W_COL_NAME.
          SPLIT WA_COLS-SCREEN-NAME AT '-' INTO W_DUMMY
                                               W_COL_NAME.
        endif.
W_COL_NAME gives you the column name.
Hope it helps.

How to find out which sequence a certain column used?

you konw column C in table T is created by a sequence.
How to find out which sequence column C is using?

In the meantime I think it ought to becompulsory to
only assign sequence values in triggers.
Why? I can see no good reason for this. I think it's a good idea to have stuff like this
coded in only one placeI don't like your argument for compulsory using triggers for sequences for exactly the same reason as you, ie that I like to keep my code in one place. If I'm reading some pl/sql code which uses a sequence I like to see the fact that the sequence is used in the pl/sql code, rather than to check to see if theres a trigger on the table and then see which sequence that uses.
"naming conventions can work, provided they're enforced. Alas, like other standards, they can only be enforced by active policing".
Thats what code reviews are.
" there is also the special case of one sequence populating more than one table...."
This is My Pet hate. I don't think there's ever a case where this is absolutely necessary. Again code reviews
Unfortunately I have to live with a system which does this.
and I appreciate we can't all have code reviews, etc.
