How to ignore special characters in Logical SQL.

Hi Experts,
I am using Logical SQL generated from BI Answers in dataset of BIP Data model.
The column name or presentation table name contains special character as “&, %’
So when I try to create dataset using suppose following Logical SQL, I am getting prompt/error as
“Please enter values for lexical references in SQL
*~ description"."security name" s_9, ”
Could you please suggest what should I do to ignore these special characters?
SELECT
0 s_0,
"TEST_RPD"."Account"."As Of Date" s_1,
"TEST_RPD"."Security Identifier & Description"."Security Name" s_9,
"TEST_RPD"."Statistics"."Quality - S&P Rating" s_26,
"TEST_RPD"."Statistics"."Yield To Maturity" s_27
FROM "TEST_RPD"
WHERE
(("Account"."As Of Date" = date '2011-01-31') AND ("Account"."Report Account ID" = '1733'))

Thanks..That is what we did in RPD.
I was looking for any other approach as our RPD is shared between OBIEE and BIP.

Hi,
Any suggestions?Yes, please provide some details regarding:
the PL/SQL procedureWhat is it, what is it meant to do?
the thing fails. How does it fail?
Always post a complete error message when 'it fails'.
Also provide your DB-version as well
(and ideally you'd top it off with an example).
From what I can make of it you're trying to process some in-list that fails when you're passing more than one value?

How to write special characters in PDF using iText

How to write special characters encoded with UTF-8 in PDF using iText.
Regards,
Pandharinath.

I don't know what your problem is but that's almost certainly the wrong question to ask about it. Java (including iText) uses only Unicode characters. (You may consider some of them to be "special" if you like but Unicode doesn't.) And when it does that, they aren't encoded in UTF-8 or any other encoding.
So can you describe your problem? That question doesn't make sense.

How to handle special characters in SQL statements

How do you handle special charactes in a SQL statement? Here is an example:
update table
set notefield = 'This is Waldo's note'
where keyfield = 7;
Because the database connectivity vi accepts a string datatype wire, the ' in Waldo's note is seen as the end of string and an error is generated.
Is there a way to tell labview that the ' is part of the string and not the string delimiter?
Waldo

If two single quotes don't work, try backslash single quote, like \'
The backslash is often used as an escape character, meaning to treat the next character literally.

How to display special characters in APEX Classic Report column

Ref: Thread: How to display newline characters as new lines
Version: APEX 3.2
Hi,
I have created an classic SQL Report with one of the columns being a decode that gives a value 'Post'(the value should be highlighted in Red) on one condition and 'Pre' on another. I have followed the advice given in the page (URL provided above) , i.e. I have changed Strip HTML to 'No', changed Display as to 'Display as text (escape special characters, does not save state)'. I have also passed this value back to the same page to be stored in a page item each time a link (another column in report) in report is clicked. I have tried passing it as #DEADLINE# and \#DEADLINE#\. The issue I face is, instead of the value being highlighted in Red, it gets passed back as a string holding the value 'Post'. Is there any way I can get this to display as it should without the Strip HTML being changed to 'Yes'.
Thanks very much.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I am trying to display a page item that is derived from a report column based on a click on the URL link (*view >*>)
This page item (here, it is Manager_ID) should ideally be highlighted when a particular condition is satisfied (achieved using a DECODE in the report).
But it is not displayed like it should be.
I do not want the value to be displayed along with the html tags as a string.
I want the html tags to take effect and highlight the value within it.
Initially, I had set Strip HTML to Yes and the value was returned without any highlighting .
So I changed it to 'No' and and it contained the html tags.
I am not sure what setting in APEX Report Attributes can help me achieve that effect I want.None of the report settings are relevant. They affect the rendering of the report and none of the columns you were changing the properties of were actually rendered.
You can't pass HTML and CSS around in URL parameters.
I suggest you pass *2* values in the column link: the MGR ID and a simple class or colour value computed by the DECODE in the report. I've suppressed the first version of the report and created a new one that does this:
decode(dept.deptno, '30', 'c00', '000') highlight The link column now passes the MGR ID and the HIGHLIGHT colour (red when the condition is satisfied and black when it is not).
I created another hidden and protected page item <tt>P0_HIGHLIGHT</tt> as the target for the highlight value, and used the Pre/Post Element Text properties of the <tt>P0_G_MGR</tt> to wrap it in a <tt>span</tt> whose colour is changed using the <tt>P0_HIGHLIGHT</tt> value as a subtitution string:
<span style="color: #&P0_HIGHLIGHT.;">Having done that, I still don't really get the requirement here. I'm sure that given the full picture I'd be using a completely different approach...

How to restrict special characters for a specific column

Dear gurus,
i have a table emp with a field field_1
in this particular field_1 is an address column where data can be like '12 st first floor' but suppose mistakenly user has entered the data as '12 st first floor & ' it should be restricted (not using trigger but can this be possible by using constraints )so for this how can we restrict the special characters not to get entered into the column.
regards,
friend

Another way of doing it.
drop table test_table;
create table test_table (col varchar2(50));
alter table test_table add constraint chk_address check (NOT regexp_like(col, '[[:punct:]]+'));
insert into test_table
(select 'some text' col from dual);
1 rows inserted.
insert into test_table
(select 'some text!' col from dual);

How to insert special characters ,?

Hi, guys
I want to insert some special characters such as , ,,into Oracle,
for instant: insert into test (special_no) values (' ');
but the system can not read and show the characters, and just process the characters as null. Could you please tell how I can do to make the system can read the characters? Maybe should I change the some Oracle environment parameters?
By the way, I immigrated data and tables from MiniSQL to Oracle. How can I check the all data immigrated are correct? In the Mini SQL there is a command 'realshow' to show all data and tables in the database. Is there a command like this in Oracle?
Thanks ahead.
Agurri

NLS_LANG could help but I am not sure about that. You should be able to get any character in the database, that the database supports. What character set is the database created with ?
You can also use the numeric value for the char
insert into x (y) values (chr(13)); or whatever.

How to add special characters in Flash CS3

Hi, i need the help of some flash guru… these last weeks we were working with cloversites.com to build a community website… the interface is awesome etc etc however we in Malta have eight special characters (GCZ with a dot on top of them and an H with a second strikethrough). Those at cloversites wrestled with the problem, they could see the characters on their computers but when they entered the text in the site, flash couldn't render the special characters. Here is their message:
I am extremely sorry about this, but we were unable to add in your characters. We attempted to add them into our software but they did not work. We worked on it all morning and realized that we need an extra add-on for our keyboards. Adding special characters is nothing new to us and have answered this request for many of our international users. For some reason, the Maltese characters did not work in our sites. For example, our "option-G" is the copyright symbol so it will need to be transferred over to international characters.
Unfortunately, we thing that this has to do with Adobe Flash CS3. The software allowed me to embed the characters, but we were unable to render them on the web. Which led us to think it had to do with the version Adobe is running and its inability to render the text through its software on the web. None of the characters worked on the web, and it looks like its just an Adobe bug. So we are able to type and use the Maltese characters, but Adobe Flash is having trouble with them.
Does anybody know of any possible solution?

How to handle special characters in Apex

Hi ,
In my application I have two regions - one is Report Region (Interactive Report) and other one is HTML region with two text items - Empno and name
My Report has two columns Empno(varchar2) and Ename(varchar2).
When I click the edit link in the report column, the empno should have a read only EMPNO value and ename is a text field with ENAME value.
When I run my application I have encountered the following problems :
1. if my empno has special characters like ' # ', the characters after that is not getting displayed
2. if my empno has special characters like ',' - the characters after comma is treated as a next texitem value

Don't pass data values in URLs. Whilst it is possible to escape values to make them URL- and APEX parameter-safe, it is much better practice to avoid the problem altogether.
Create a surrogate primary key on the table that is an immutable discrete numeric identifier and only use this as a URL parameter. In target pages/regions, use this PK value to retrieve the required data from the table.

How to preserve special characters in dynamic textfield for text comparison?

The problem is as follows:
Since I mostly develop for multiple languages I am forced to have dynamic textfields in my buttons which contain three lines (to account for the differnt text.lengths in different languages).
I then populate the textfields with strings out of an array or xml and use the textfields contents later in my button class to execute different code depending on the textfields content.
This works fine as long as I don`t use any special characters, like for example "\n".
var labels:Array = ["\nLABEL1","LABEL\n\n2"];
switch (e.currentTarget.txt.text)
                case labels[0]:
                    doSomething();
                    break;
                case labels[1]:
                    doSomethingElse();
                    break;
shows the right thing in the button label (breaks the text were I want it)
but stops to work
(with htmlText & <br> its the same)
my workaround for the moment is to use filler spaces,
var labels:Array = ["                   LABEL1","LABEL                                                                        2"];
but that`s obviously ugly to setUp and requires a lot of trial/error to get it right for all languages.
Any ideas how to bypass that?

Bad habits die hard ;-)
Weird enough spelling the problem out and getting this response from you cleared my head and I finally got an easy solution.
I simply attach a dynamic property to the movieclip, copy the array contents into them and instead of using the text-property for comparison I compare the MovieClips fresh created spectext property.
Voila: Now I can be lazy without too much of a bad conscience.
