How to get current value of SEQUENCE without using NEXTVAL

Hi,
Here is my requirement. I need to provide a screen for allowing user to change the sequence # at any given instance. If I use CURRVAL, i get error 'ORA-08002 sequence EMP_NO.CURRVAL is not yet defined in this session'
If I use NEXTVAL and then CURRVAL it works, but i loose a sequence # which i cannot afford, since it's an employee #.
Help required in solving the problem.
Thanks,
Raj

Use this...
select last_number from user_sequences where sequence_name = '<your-sequence>'
to get the current sequence value. However bear in mind that on a multi-user system (and which system today is not?) there may be many users firing this query, so in case of a next sequence no. allocation request fired by more thn one of them the sequences each gets will not all be this number + 1.
HTH,
Mohit.

  • How to get the values of an Array using JSP Tags

    Hey guys,
    I need some help. I've splited a String using
    fn:split(String, delim) where String = "1,2,3,4" and delim is ,
    This method returns an Array of splited Strings. how do i get the values from this array using jsp tags. I don't wanna put java code to achive that.
    Any help would be highly appreciated
    Thanks

    The JSTL forEach tag.
    In fact if all you want to do is iterate over the comma separated list, the forEach tag supports that without having to use the split function.
    <c:set var="list" value="1,2,3,4"/>
    <c:forEach var="num" items="${list}">
      <c:out value="${num}"/>
    </c:forEach>The c:forTokens method will let you do this with delimiters other than a comma, but the forEach tag works well just with the comma-delimited string.

    By using this query, I am getting a dataset which includes all the columns of sharepoint list. Among these columns, I wanted to display only 2 columns (i.e Region and Sales type) using chart. I have created a Region parameter but when I click preview, the drop down box is giving me all the repeatative values of region like RG1,RG1,RG1,RG2,RG2,RG2,RG2,RG3.......... I wanted to display only distinct values of Region parameter so that whenever end user select region from the parameter drop down, it will display the respective value of Sales type column.
    Also when I select only RG1 parameter, it is giving me a chart including the sales type of all the Regions. (it should display me only the sales type of RG1) How can I link these 2 columns so that they will display the values respectively.
              I would really appreciate if anyone can help me out with this.

    Hi Sam,
    By code, the CAML language doesn’t have any reserved word (or tag) to set this particular filter to remove duplicate results.
    In this case, we could use the custom code to get distinct records.
    Here are the detailed steps:
    1.         Create a hidden parameter that gets all the records in one field.
    Note: Please create another dataset that is same of the main dataset. This dataset is used for the parameter.
    2.         Create a function that used to remove the duplicate records.
    Here is the code:
    Public Shared Function RemoveDups(ByVal items As String) As String
    Dim noDups As New System.Collections.ArrayList()
    Dim SpStr
    SpStr = Split(items ,",")
    For i As Integer=0 To Ubound(Spstr)
    If Not noDups.Contains(SpStr(i).Trim()) Then
    noDups.Add(SpStr(i).Trim())
    End If
    Next
    Dim uniqueItems As String() = New String(noDups.Count-1){}
    noDups.CopyTo(uniqueItems)
    Return String.Join(",", uniqueItems)
    End Function
    3.         Create another parameter that will be used for filtering the maindata.
    Please set the available value to be =Split(Code.RemoveDups(JOIN(Parameters!ISSUE_STATUS_TEMP.Value, ",")), ",")
    And the default value to be the value you what such as the first value:
    =Split(Code.RemoveDups(JOIN(Parameters!ISSUE_STATUS_TEMP.Value, ",")), ",").(0)
    4.         Go to the main dataset. Open the property window of this dataset.
    5.         In the “Filters” tab, set the filter to be:
    Expression: <The field to be filter>
    Operator: =
    Value: =Parameters!Region.Value
    The parameter “Region” should be the parameter we created in the step3.
    Now, we should get distinct values of SharePoint columns.
    If there is anything unclear, please feel free to ask.
    Thanks,
    Jin

  • How to get all values from an interval using select statement

    Hi,
    Is it possible to write a select statement that returns all values from an interval? Interval boundaries are variable.
    something like this:
    select (for x in 1,1024 loop x end loop) from dual
    (this, of course, doesn't work)
    The result in this example should be 1024 rows of numbers from 1 to 1024. These numbers are parameters, so it is not possible to create a table with predefined values.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Mia.

    For your simple case, with a lower boundary of 1, you can use:
    SELECT rownum
    FROM all_objects
    WHERE rownum <= 1024For a set of number between say 50 - 100, you can use something like:
    SELECT rownum + (50 - 1)
    FROM all_objects
    WHERE rownum <= (100 - 50 + 1)Note, that all_objects was used only because it generally has a lot of rows. Any table with at least the number of rows in your range will work.

  • How to get accurate values for select statement using single column

    Hi All,

    Inner Join
    UTL.Utility.tUTL_ProcessDate

    Below is the generate output
    FiscalYearId FiscalMonthOfYearId
    2014 2
    2014 1
    2013 12
    2013 11
    But i want to use this query in one of my where clause condition as its being used in the where clause it can only return 1 row.So, i tried something like this
    Select Distinct Top 4
    FiscalMonthOfYearId
    From ODS.Common.tODS_Date

    11
    10
    9
    Which is not correct,( if you see the result set above). 
    Can someone please help me with any ides on this.

    If you want to use this query in the WHERE clause, then use it with EXISTS option which allows to return more than 1 column.

    Note i have about 10 selectOneRadio group in one page i want to know value of each one of them.
    Plzzzzzzzz i need help

    You have a datatable in which each row is a question, correct?
    Also in each row you have 5 possible answers that are in a radio, correct?
    So,
    You need to put in your datatable model, a question, and a list of answers (5 in yor case) and the selected one.
    So you will have a get to the question, an SelectItem[] list to populate the radios and another get/set to the selected question.
    ex:
    <h:selectOneRadio value="#{notas.selectedString}" id="rb">
    <f:selectItem itemValue="#{notas.valuesList}"/>
    </h:selectOneRadio>
