How to insert a string with "&" inside

How can I insert a string in sqlplus which has a "&" inside?
ie: insert into dummy (field) values('E&P');
the above line will just ask me to input the value for "P".

How to insert a string with \' and \" into an Oracle table?

I'm transferring an MS Access column contains characters such like \' and \" to an Oracle table.
The following statement can work PROPERLY while rsSrc.getString(1) does NOT contain \' and \".
But when \' or \" occurs in rsSrc.getString(1), a SQLException was caught as "ORA-00917: missing comma".
sqlCommand="insert into myTable values (\'"+rsSrc.getString(1)+"\')";
How to solve this problem? Thank you.

Thank you, San.
Original statement is right...
sqlCommand="insert into myTable values (\'"+rsSrc.getString(1)+"\')";
Your statement will not work properly when rsSrc.getString(1) contains " or '.
sqlCommand="insert into myTable values ('"+rsSrc.getString(1)+"')";
The best solution should be preparedStatement. Please see another topic with the same topic name.
Thank you, San, again.
Hi,
Original ...
sqlCommand="insert into myTable values
(\'"+rsSrc.getString(1)+"\')";
change it to ...
sqlCommand="insert into myTable values
('"+rsSrc.getString(1)+"')";
Pls dont add \
good luck !

How to insert some strings in a query with the clausule 'in' in a procedure

Hello fellows.
Do you know how to insert some strings in a query with the clausule 'in' in a procedure (with a variable)?.
I tell us my problem with an example:
I want to use this select but introducing a variable instead the 'value1', 'value2':
select * from table1 where field1 in ('value1', 'value2');
if I declare the variable var1 as:
TC_VAR1 CONSTANT VARCHAR2(50) := '''value1'',''value2'''
and I use it as:
select * from table1 where field1 in (TC_VAR1);
It doesn't work because Oracle takes TC_VAR1 as an all string. I think Oracle takes it as this:
select * from table1 where field1 in ('value1, value2');
If I use the data type TABLE, I don't know how to use well:
TYPE varchar2_table IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(10);
tb_var varchar2_table;
select * from table1 where field1 in (tb_var);->It returns an error and there ins't an method that it returns all values.
A curious case is that if I have a sql script (for example script1.sh) with this query:
select * fromt able1 where field1 in (&1)
and I invoke this script as
script1.sh "'''value1'',''value2'''". It works
Can anybody helps me?.
Thanks.

Thanks to all. Really.
First, sorry for my English. It's horrible. Thank to all for understand it (my English).
I've resolved my problem with these links:
ORA-22905: cannot access rows from a non-nested table item
and
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/896356/oracle-error-ora-22905-cannot-access-rows-from-a-non-nested-table-item
At last, I have used someting like this:
DECLARE
number_table_tmp NUM_ARRAY:=NUM_ARRAY(410673, 414303, 414454, 413977, 414042, 414115, 413972, 414104, 414062);
BEGIN
FOR c1 IN (SELECT par_id, 1 acc_vdo_id FROM SIG_VIS_CAM
WHERE par_id IN (SELECT * FROM TABLE(number_table_tmp))
UNION ALL
SELECT par_id, 2 acc_vdo_id FROM SIG_ACCAO a
WHERE par_id IN (SELECT * FROM TABLE(number_table_tmp))) LOOP
NULL;
END LOOP;
END;
but first I had to create the type NUM_ARRAY like this:
CREATE TYPE subjectid_tab AS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY binary_integer;
THANK YOU, GUYS. YOU ARE THE BESTS. ;-)

how to create a String with a specific size?
For example I want to create different Strings with the size of 100 , 1000 or 63k byte?

String are immutable so just initialize it with the number of characters you want.
You might want to look at java.lang.StringBuffer and see if that's what you want.

Hi,
actually there's none. The UITableView class needs to "know" the tableView's height so either it can calc <number of rows> times <row height> or it has to sum the height of each single row.
If the row which needs to be of different size always is the first or the last row you can user a tableHeader or tableFoot view.

How to insert a String at the CaretPosition without moving the Caret?

I have a JTextPane wrapped by a JScrollPane. The JTextPane is where chatroom messages appear. When a message is appended at the end, it determines whether to scroll to the bottom based on some conditions (scroll to the bottom only if the user was already viewing somewhere near the bottom). That part is working fine.
Although the JTextPane is not editable, it allows the user to make selections using a mouse so that blocks of text can be copied from the chatroom. The default caret of JTextPane handles that for me.
But the problem comes when the caret position is at the end of the document when my program inserts a new message with the following code:
StyledDocument doc = textPane.getStyledDocument();
doc.insertString(doc.getLength(), message + "\n", null);The caret was at doc.getLength() to begin with, when the new message is inserted at the end, it "pushes" the caret to a new position. The caret movement is causing JScrollPane to scroll to where the caret is visible (the bottom), therefore interfering with my scrolling algorithm (see above).
So, when the caret is doc.getLength(), how do I insert a String at doc.getLength() with the caret staying at the original position?
In other words, how do I insert a String at the caret position without the caret being moved?
Note:
1) I don't want to use setCaretPosition() to set the caret to its original position, because calling this method will trigger a CaretEvent, thus causing the JScrollPane to scroll (to the caret) which is not what I want (see above).
2) I don't want to remove the CaretListener, cause then the JScrollPane won't scroll even when the user wants to make a multiple-page selection using the mouse (dragging the selection off screen).
3) I want to keep the Caret at the original position so that the user won't lose his/her selection when new messages appear (which can be quite frequent).

I keep forgetting how difficult it is to do such simple things in the text package. But it's not impossible! Here's a way to replace the relevant listeners, plus a sample implementation. If you know you'll never, ever delete any text from the JTextPane, you may not have to provide a replacement DocumentListener at all; this one just makes sure the caret isn't past the end of the document.
import java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent;
import java.beans.PropertyChangeListener;
import javax.swing.text.DefaultCaret;
import javax.swing.text.Document;
import javax.swing.text.JTextComponent;
import javax.swing.event.DocumentEvent;
import javax.swing.event.DocumentListener;
public class ChatCaret extends DefaultCaret
private MyHandler newHandler;
private PropertyChangeListener oldHandler;
public void install(JTextComponent c)
    super.install(c);
    PropertyChangeListener[] pcls = c.getPropertyChangeListeners();
    for (int i = 0; i < pcls.length; i++)
      if (pcls.getClass().getName().equals(
"javax.swing.text.DefaultCaret$Handler"))
oldHandler = pcls[i];
newHandler = new MyHandler(oldHandler);
c.removePropertyChangeListener(oldHandler);
c.addPropertyChangeListener(newHandler);
break;
Document doc = c.getDocument();
if (doc != null)
doc.removeDocumentListener((DocumentListener)oldHandler);
doc.addDocumentListener(newHandler);
public void deinstall(JTextComponent c)
super.deinstall(c);
c.removePropertyChangeListener(newHandler);
Document doc = c.getDocument();
if (doc != null)
doc.removeDocumentListener(newHandler);

MyHandler(PropertyChangeListener oldHandler)
this.oldHandler = oldHandler;

Object oldValue = evt.getOldValue();

if ((oldValue instanceof Document) ||
(newValue instanceof Document))

How to insert a string containing a single quote to the msql database? help

Absolutely, Positively use a PreparedStatement. Do not use sqlEscape() function unless you have some overriding need (and I don't know what that could possibly be).
There are 1000's of posts on the positive aspects of using a PreparedStatement rather than using a Statement. The two primary positive attributes of using a PreparedStatement are automatic escaping of Strings and a stronger security model for your application.

How to create a String with comma ?

Hi All,
I have a table with 10 records(employee name) and i have to make a string
with comma delimiter and at the end with "."
Can anybody tell me how to write a Java program for this ?
Thanks in advance.

// I believe the following example gives you the answer.
class stringEG {
     public static void main(String args[]) {
     String emprs[] ={"1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10"};
     String vempname = "";
     for(int i=0; i<emprs.length; i++) {
     if(i == (emprs.length-1))
          vempname = vempname + emprs[i] + ".";
     else
          vempname = vempname + emprs[i] + ", ";
     System.out.println("vempname : "+vempname);
Here dont assume that I asked you to get all the results and putting
it into the string arrays. But its a simple example to suit your requirement.
The half-way coding below answers your question, I hope.
vempname = "";
while (emprs.next()) {
if(emprs.isLast())
vempname = vempname + emprs.getString("empname") + ".";
else
vempname = vempname + emprs.getString("empname") + ", ";
// nats.

How to concatenate a string with spaces

Dear experts,
I would like to concatenate a string with three spaces, for example,
CONCATENATE 'X' SPACE SPACE SPACE 'Y' INTO LV_RESULT.
However, the result I got from executing the above statement is not 'X Y' as I want, but rather 'XY'.
I did try
CONCATENATE 'X' '***' 'Y' INTO LV_RESULT.
REPLACE '***' with ' ' INTO LV_RESULT.
still doesn't work.
How can I write ABAP code to archive such a result?
Any idea would be appreciated.

How to split a string with linefeed character ( LF ) as a delimiter in VB6?

Hi. I am writing a small program in VB 6.0.
I have a string named Data and it contains few characters along with <LF> in it. ( <LF> is a new line/line feed character).
I want to split this string with <LF> as delimiter and store the tokens in an array. I tried with split function and its giving me type mismatch error. Can anyone tell me how to do it?
I am giving the pseudo-code below.
Dim Data as string
Data = "hello, how are you<LS>good morning guys <LS> hi"
Dim strarray() as stringMsgbox(Data)
strarray = split(Data, "<LS>")
When i see the Data in message box before split function, it shows up in different lines like this:
hello, how are you
good morning guys
hi
I want the final array strarray to be like this: strarray(0) = "hello, how are you"
strarray(1) = "good morning guys "
strarray(2) = " hi"
The spaces can be as it is. Just i need the string to be delimited wherever <LS> is there.
Please help me as soon as possible. Though it is small one, i am stuck here.
Thanks in advance,
Satya.

How to split a string with regular expression

Hi.
I need to split a string with a regular expression.
Example
String = "this is; a test";rune haavik;12345;
And I want the output to be:
"this is; a test"
rune haavik
12345
If I use this code:
private void test1()
String str = "\"this is; a test\";rune haavik;12345;";
int i=0;
String[] tmp = str.split(";");
while(i<tmp.length)
System.out.println(tmp);
i++;
Then it splits also in the "" text.
Regards
Rune haavik

Rune haavik:
The most effective way to achieve the end result is, I believe, to read the characters one by one, using a flag that indicates if we are inside quotation or not.
Well, if we are in a mind game, then the following should do.
String[] tmp = str.split(";(?![^\"]*\";)");
