How to get the Date format inside the table

I have a startdate column in the db in the format May 5, 2001 12:39:00 PM, when I query it from a view in this way : SELECT startdate, ... FROM ..., it returns the format in the db,
However I have to do this SELECT
decode(startdate, null, 'NOT START'), startdate), ... the result is 5-MAY-01,
then I tried this to_char(startTime, 'Month DD, YYYY HH:MI: A.M.') the results become May 05, 2001 12:39:00 PM. (more space between month and day, and 05 instaed of 5)
Does anybody know how to fix this, so I get exactly what is in the db?
Thanks in advance

No matter what you do if you are storing a date in a column it will get stored in the Oracle's internal 7 byte date format.
The way you get it on retreiving it is as set by your date format. You can either change the default date format for the instance, the individual session or the individual SQL statement(in this case using to_char(date, 'format')).
If you want to store the date in a format you want to store you'll have to store it as char or varchar2.

When you do to_char() with 'month' oracle blank pads the month to nine characters, the same goes with day too. So to get rid of it you'll have to trim() the month. And if you want to get a single digit for date less than 10 instead of 0x you'll have to do a bit of extra jugglery using translate() or replace().
Hope this helps

How to get the table of value field? and can we expand the technical limits

Dear
I have created value field in COPA with KEA6. And now, I need the table which the value fields are saved. Yet, I have tried a lot to find it and get failure? Can any guy help me? Please tell me how to get the table of a value field.
And another question is that, can we extend the technical limits for the number of value field for ECC6.0?
We have a note for R.4.x Please see below:
OSS note 160892
You can display the length of a data record using Transaction KEA0 ('Maintain Operating Concern'). After you have navigated to the 'Characteristics Screen' or to the 'Value field Screen' choose menu path 'Extras -> Technical Limits'.
The maximum displayed here under 'Length in bytes on the DB' is the maximum length permitted by the Dictionary. The reserve required for the release upgrade must be subtracted from this value.
To increase the allowed number of the value fields, increase the value that is assigned to field ikcge-bas_max_cnt (FORM init_ikcge_ke USING fm_subrc, approx. line 165) in Include FKCGNF20. It specifies the number of the possible value fields. The corresponding part of the source code is attached to the note as a correction.

Hello Sankar,
Please explain your requirement clearly so that we can help you easily.
To get the table records from your context node use method get_static_attributes_table()
data lo_nd_mynode type ref to if_wd_context_node.
data lt_atrributes_table type wd_this->elements_mynode.
lo_nd_mynode = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_mynode ).
lo_nd_mynode->get_static_attributes_table( importing table = lt_atrributes_table ).
Note: You should have already defined your context node as a Dictionary Structure.

How to get the table name of a field in a result set

hi!
i have a simple sql query as
select tbl_customerRegistration.*, tbl_customerAddress.address from tbl_customerRegistration, tbl_customerAddress where tbl_customerAddress.customer_id = tbl_customerRegistration.customer_ID
this query executes well and gets data from the database when i get ResultsetMetaData from my result set (having result of above query) i am able to get the field name as
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();//rs is result set
String columnName = rsmd.getColumnName(1);
here i get columnName = "Customer_id"
but when i try to get the tabel name from meta data as
String tableName = rsmd.getTableName(1); i get empty string in table name....
i want to get the table name of the respective field here as it is very important to my logic.....
how can i do that.....
please help me in that regard as it is very urgent
thanks in advance

So far as I'm aware, you can't get metadata information about the underlying tables in a query from Oracle and/or the Oracle drivers. I suspect, in fact, that the driver would have to have its own SQL parser to get this sort of information.
I'm curious though-- how do you have application logic that depends on the name of the source table but not know in the application what table is involved? Could you do something "cheesy" like
SELECT 'tbl_customerRegistration' AS tbl1_name,
tbl_customerRegistration.*

How to get the table name and bind columns names in an INSERT statement ?

I have an INSERT statement with input parameters (for example
INSERT INTO my_table VALUES (:a, :a, :a)) and I want to know
without parsing the statement which is the name of table to
insert to and the corresponding columns.
This is needed to generate the SELECT FOR UPDATE statement to
refetch a BLOB before actually writing to it. The code does not
know in advance the schema (generic code).
Thanks in advance,
Joseph Canedo

Once you have prepared your statement, you can execute the
statement with the OCI_DESCRIBE_ONLY mode before binding any
columns. Then you can use OCIParamGet to find out about each
column (column index is 1-based). You should get OCI_NO_DATA or
ORA-24334 if there are no more columns in the statement. Note
that the parameter descriptor from OCIParamGet is
allocated/freed internally by OCI; you do not need to manage it
explicitly. The parameter descriptor is passed to OCIAttrGet in
order to obtain for instance the maximum size of data in the
column OCI_ATTR_DATA_SIZE. You can also get the column name in
this way, although I do not remember the #define off the top of
my head. Getting the table name appears to be much more
difficult; I have never had to do that yet. Good luck. -Ralph

How to get ISO date format?

Hi there,
I'm having problem converting date to ISO format. How do I convert a date in the form of "Tue Sep 25 10:18:59 PDT 2007" to "20070925101859" ? Basically I am trying to get the date in "yyyymmddhhmmss". Below is my code, I keep getting "Tue Sep 25 10:18:59 PDT 2007", please help:
beginDateAsDate = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyymmddhhmmss");
sdf.format( beginDateAsDate );
endDateAsDate = beginDateAsDate;
Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance();
c1.setTime(beginDateAsDate);
c1.add(Calendar.YEAR,2);
endDateAsDate = c1.getTime();
System.out.println("Begin Date is: " beginDateAsDate.toString());+
System.out.println("End Date is: " endDateAsDate.toString()); +
Output:
Begin Date is: Tue Sep 25 10:18:59 PDT 2007
End Date is: Fri Sep 25 10:18:59 PDT 2009

Use SimpleDateFormat, but don't forget to do this first:
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));

How to get the table/tree/list cell underneath the mouse

I feel like I must be missing something. How can I find out the tree cell underneath the mouse cursor?
I am implementing drag and drop from a table to a tree. I need to know which tree cell the user dropped the item on. I can get the drop coordinates (in pixels, I assume) from the drag event, but there doesn't seem to be a way to convert that into the particular cell index. This same question applies to getting the list and table cell under at particular coordinates.
If there isn't an API for this, has anyone found a reliable workaround (dividing Y by cell height, etc.)
Thanks,
Josh

You need to put event handlers for the D&D events on the Cells that are being created (so you will need to set a custom cell factory). For example, every cell is a Node, and these support properties like 'onDragDroppedProperty', and 'onDragExitedProperty'.
When you add event handlers to these, you should be notified of items being dragged onto specific Cells of the Tree. A Cell then can be matched with a particular item in the Tree by reading its TreeItem property.
Also read the documentation for TreeItem. There is a bit there that says:
"It is important to note however that a TreeItem is not a Node, which means that only the event types defined in TreeItem will be delivered. To listen to general events (for example mouse interactions), it is necessary to add the necessary listeners to the cells contained within the TreeView (by providing a cell factory)."
Which gives a clear hint at the end that for other interactions, you should add listeners to the Cells.
Good luck!

How to get the table and column details out of desinger database design?

what is the relation between ci_table_definition, ci_columns, ci_constains and ci_check_constaints?
I want to get the report on table detail of tablenames, column names, comments, datatype+length and check constraints.
thanks

Hi,
The link is pretty straightforward:
ci_table_definitions.id = ci_columns.table_reference
(also correct: ci_table_definitions.ivid = ci_columns.parent_ivid)
ci_table_definitions.id = ci_check_constraints.table_reference
Remember to set the Workarea Context - jr_context.set_workarea(' Name of Workarea') - before you start querying, especially when your Repository is versioned.
good luck.

How to get common datas from two int.tables

hi,
please tell me , how to i will get the common datas between two int. tables
& place them in third int. table.
give me syntax.
regards
subhasis.

Hi Subhasis,
SORT :
SORT itab.
Extras:
1. ... BY f1 f2 ... fn
2. ... ASCENDING
3. ... DESCENDING
4. ... AS TEXT
5. ... STABLE
The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Field symbols not allowed as sort criterion.
Effect
The entries in the internal table are sorted in ascending order using the key from the table definition (DATA, TYPES).
Addition 1
... BY f1 f2 ... fn
Effect
Uses the sort key defined by the sub-fields f1, f2, ..., fn of the table itab instead of the table key. The fields can be of any type; even number fields and tables are allowed.
You can also specify the sort fields dynamically in the form (name). If name is blank at runtime, the sort field is ignored. If itab is a table with a header line, you can also use a field symbol pointing to the header line of itab as a dynamic sort criterion. A field symbol that is not assigned is ignored. If a field symbol is assigned, but does not point to the header line of the internal table, a runtime error occurs.
If the line type of the internal table contains object reference variables as components, or the entire line type is a reference variable, you can use the attributes of the object to which a reference is pointing in a line as sort criteria (see Attributes of Objects as the Key of an Internal Table.
You can address the entire line of an internal table as the key using the pseudocomponent TABLE_LINE. This is particularly relevant for tables with a non-structured line type when you want to address the whole line as the key of the table (see also Pseudocomponent TABLE_LINE With Internal Tables).
If you use one of the additions 2 to 5 before BY, it applies to all fields of the sort key by default. You can also specify these additions after each individual sort field f1, f2, ..., fn. For each key field, this defines an individual sort rule which overrides the default.
Addition 2
... ASCENDING
Effect
Sorts in ascending order. This is also the default if no sort order is specified directly after SORT. For this reason, it is not necessary to specify ASCENDING explicitly as the default sort order.
With the addition BY, you can also specify ASCENDING directly after a sort field to define ascending order explicitly as the sort sequence for this field.
Addition 3
... DESCENDING
Effect
Sorts in descending order. If the addition comes right after SORT, DESCENDING is taken as the default for all fields of the sort key.
With the addition BY, you can also specify DESCENDING directly after a sort field.
Addition 4
... AS TEXT
Effect
Text fields are sorted appropriate to the locale. This means that the relative order of characters is defined according to the text environment being used.
When an internal mode is opened (in other words, when a roll area is opened), the text environment is automatically set to the logon language specified in the user master record. If necessary, however, you can change the text environment explicitly in your program by using a SET-LOCALE statement.
If the addition comes directly after itab, locale-specific rules are used for all fields of the sort key where the type of these fields is C or W. After the sort, the sequence of entries usually does not match the sequence which results otherwise, without using the addition AS TEXT, i.e. with binary sorting.
With the addition BY, you can also specify AS TEXT directly after a sort field, provided it is of type C or W, or a structured type. Otherwise, a runtime error occurs. In sort fields with a structured type, AS TEXT only affects subcomponents with type C or W.
In case of an invalid character, a SYSLOG message is written, and the respective record is inserted at the end.
Note
Please keep the rules for site-specific sorting in mind.
Example
Sort a name table with different keys:
TYPES: BEGIN OF PERSON_TYPE,
 NAME(10) TYPE C,
 AGE TYPE I,
 COUNTRY(3) TYPE C,
 END OF PERSON_TYPE.
DATA: PERSON TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF PERSON_TYPE WITH
 NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY INITIAL SIZE 5,
 WA_PERSON TYPE PERSON_TYPE.
WA_PERSON-NAME = 'Muller'. WA_PERSON-AGE = 22.
WA_PERSON-COUNTRY = 'USA'.
APPEND WA_PERSON TO PERSON.
WA_PERSON-NAME = 'Moller'. WA_PERSON-AGE = 25.
WA_PERSON-COUNTRY = 'FRG'.
APPEND WA_PERSON TO PERSON.
WA_PERSON-NAME = 'Möller'. WA_PERSON-AGE = 22.
WA_PERSON-COUNTRY = 'USA'.
APPEND WA_PERSON TO PERSON.
WA_PERSON-NAME = 'Miller'. WA_PERSON-AGE = 23.
WA_PERSON-COUNTRY = 'USA'.
APPEND WA_PERSON TO PERSON.
SORT PERSON.
Now, the sequence of the table entries is as follows:
Miller 23 USA
Moller 25 FRG
Muller 22 USA
Möller 22 USA
If, for example, you apply German sort rules where the umlaut comes directly after the letter 'o' in the sort, the data record beginning with 'Möller' would not be in the right place in this sequence. It should come second.
Provided a German-language locale is set (e.g. sorting is according to German grammatical rules, see also SET LOCALE), you can sort the names according to German rules as follows:
SORT PERSON BY NAME AS TEXT.
Now, the sequence of table entries is as follows:
Miller 23 USA
Moller 25 FRG
Möller 22 USA
Muller 22 USA
Further examples:
SORT PERSON DESCENDING BY COUNTRY AGE NAME.
Now, the sequence of table entries is as follows:
Miller 23 USA
Möller 22 USA
Muller 22 USA
Moller 25 FRG
SORT PERSON DESCENDING BY AGE ASCENDING NAME AS TEXT.
Now, the sequence of table entries is as follows:
Muller 22 USA
Möller 22 USA
Miller 23 USA
Moller 25 FRG
Addition 5
... STABLE
Effect
Uses a stable sort, that is, the relative sequence of entries that have the same sort key remains unchanged.
Unlike additions 2 to 4, you cannot use this addition directly after a sort field.
Notes
General:
The number of sort fields is restricted to 250.
The sort process is only stable if you use the STABLE addition. Otherwise, a predefined sequence of fields used to sort a list is not usually retained.
It does not make sense to use the SORT command for a SORTED TABLE. If the table type is statically declared, the system returns a syntax error if you try to SORT the table. If the table type is not statically declared (for example, because the table was passed to a FORM routine as an INDEX TABLE in a parameter), and the system can interpret the SORT statement as an empty operation, it ignores the statement. This is the case when the key in the BY clause corresponds to the beginning of the table key. Otherwise, a runtime error occurs.
To delete all duplicate entries from a sorted internal table (e.g. just after SORT), you can use the DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM itab statement.
When using the addition AS TEXT, the sequence of entries after the sort does not usually match the sequence resulting from a binary sort, i.e. if the addition AS TEXT is not specified. The consequence of this is that after the SORT, you are not allowed to access with the READ TABLE itab ... BINARY SEARCH statement.
If you still want to access data sorted apppropriate to the locale with a binary search, you can do this by including an additional component in the table where you can explictly store the data formatted using the CONVERT TEXT ... INTO SORTABLE CODE statement. This is also recommended for performance reasons if you have to re-sort the table several times according to locale-specific criteria.
If the internal table has more than 2^19 lines or is larger than 12 MB, the system sorts it physically using an external auxiliary file. You can specify the directory in which the file should be created using the SAP profile parameter DIR_SORTTMP. By default, the system uses the SAP data directory (SAP profile parameter DIR_DATA).
Notes
Performance:
The runtime required to sort an internal table increases with the number of entries and the length of the sort key.
Sorting an internal table with 100 entries with a 50 byte key requires about 1300 msn (standardized microseconds). Using a 30-byte key, the runtime is about 950 msn.
If one of the specified sort criteria is itself an internal table, SORT may sometimes take much longer.
The runtime increases if you use a stable sort.
Physical sorting reduces the runtime required for subsequent sequential processing.
Reward If Useful.

Chitra
