How to insert data that has & in them?

Hi, I have a question about how to turn off sqlplus command-line parameter feature.
I have a table:
CREATE TABLE "SBUSER"."BOOKS"
"BOOKID" integer NOT NULL,
"BOOKTITLE" varchar2(128) NOT NULL);
I want to insert the following into the table
INSERT INTO BOOKS VALUES (14,'Bag & Bones');
Instead of inserting the record, sql plus does the following prompt:
Enter value for bones:
apparently, it thinks the & in 'Bag & Bones' to be a command line parameter.
How do I turn off this feature and insert my row?
Thanks

PL/SQL take the symbol &, like the begin of a variable of sustitution, so you need to change it.
You can put
INSERT INTO BOOKS VALUES (14,'Bag '| |'&'| |'Bones');
do the test....

    thanks in advance

    Hi....
    Simply obtain a jdbc connection to your ms access database.
    one u have a connection u can use , Statement Or PreparedStatement to
    execute queries against database
    Here is an example of mysql...
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import java.sql.DriverManager;
    import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
    public class SqlAuthenticationHandler{
         private Connection conn;
         private PreparedStatement statement;
         private ResultSet rs;
         public SqlAuthenticationHandler(){
    /** Load ur JDBC driver **/
    try{
                   Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
    conn=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/JDrive","root","password");
              }catch(Exception ex){
                   ex.printStackTrace();
    public void insertUser(String name, String password){
    try{
    /** Create a statement **/
    statement=conn.prepareStatement("INSERT into user values(?,?)");
    statement.setString(1,name);
    statement.setString(2,password);
    statement.executeUpdate();
    statement.close()
    }catch(SQLException e){
                        e.printStackTrace();
    Here replace "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" with class name of your type 4 Ms Access Driver.
    replace jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/JDrive","root","password" with url of ur access database

  • *Urgent*How to insert data from MS SQL to the table that create at the adobe form?

    Hi,
    I'm using Adobe life cycle designer 8 to do my interactive form. I would like to ask how to insert data from MS SQL to the table that i have created in my adobe interactive form?
    I really need the information ASAP as i need to hand in my project by next week... i really appreciate any one who reply this post.
    Thanks

    Tou need to do a couple of things
    1. On the Essbase server, set up an odbc system connection to your MySQL database
    2. In the load rule , go to the file menu and select open SQL data source and in the data source put in your SQL statement . A couple of hints. Where it says Select, don't put in the word select and where it say from don't put in from. The system adds them for you. The easiest way ti enter a SQL statement is to do it all in the select area So if your SQL would normanlly say select * from mytable just enter the code as * from mytable in the select area
    The click ol/retrieve and enter in your connection info. Itshould bring data back into the load rule. Save the load rule and use it

  • How to insert data from site into DB?

    Hi
    Does anyone know how to insert data into a database from a
    website?
    I have created a Registration form for users to register to
    my web site. With this I would like the data they have entered to
    be stored in a MySQL database. I have created the a form and used
    the record insertion form wizard.
    When they have registered, I need to be able to check their
    username every time they log in.
    If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated,

    You can't do it with JavaScript. You need to use a
    server-side language
    like ASP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion, or PHP. Dreamweaver automates
    a lot of
    the process for you, but you need to choose your server model
    first.
    It sounds as though you are completely new to this. First ask
    your
    hosting company whether it supports a server-side language,
    and if so,
    which one. Then open Dreamweaver help (F1) and read the
    section titled
    "Preparing to Build Dynamic Sites".
    Working with server-side languages and databases isn't
    difficult, but
    it's not something you can pick up in five minutes or be
    shown how to do
    in a couple of forum posts.
    If you can't make up your mind which server-side language to
    use,
    ASP.NET is the most difficult of the four I mentioned. ASP is
    popular,
    but is no longer actively developed, so will eventually die
    out
    (although it will take many years to do so). ColdFusion and
    PHP are
    relatively easy to learn. I prefer PHP, but all of them do
    basically the
    same thing. However, you must choose one; they cannot be
    mixed.

  • How to insert data from *.dmp file to  oracle 11g using Oracle SQL Develope

    hi
    i backup my database using PL/SQL developer and made *.dmp file
    how to insert data from *.dmp file to oracle 11g using Oracle SQL Developer 2.1.1.64
    and how to make *.dmp file from sql*plus ?
    thanks in advance

    Pl/Sql developer has a config window, there you choose the exec to do the import/export.
    Find it and his home version, it may be exp or expdp, the home version is the version of the client where the exp executable is.
    Then use the same version of imp or impdp to execute the import, you do not need to use Oracle SQL Developer 2.1.1.64. If you want to use it, you must have the same version in the oracle home that exp/imp of sql developer use.

    Hi ,
    1.)You must have to create a EO based on custom table and then VO based on this EO eventually to save the values in DB
    2.) the row.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED); is used to set the the status of row as inialized ,this is must required.
    3.) When u will create the VO based on EO the viewattributes will be created in VO which will be assigned to the fields to take care the db handling .
    You must go thtough the lab excercise shipped with you Jdeveloper ,there is a example of Create Employee page ,that will solve your number of doubts.
    Thanks

    Chadru, another option is for you to bind the table UI field to an internal table and to populate the internal table. Then, automatically, your Table UI field will be populated with the data from the internal table. Here is the code that does that and works for me.  Good luck!
    method FILL_DATA .
    DATA: node_level1 type ref to if_wd_context_node,
          node_level2 type ref to if_wd_context_node,
          node_items type ref to if_wd_context_node,
          stru_ResItems type BAPI2093_RES_ITEM,
          tab_ResItems TYPE TABLE OF BAPI2093_RES_ITEM,
          n type i.
    node_level1 = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'BAPI_RESERVATION_CRE' ).
    node_level2 = node_level1->get_child_node( name = 'CHANGING' ).
    node_items = node_level2->get_child_node( name = 'RESERVATIONITEMS' ).
    n = 2.
      do n times.
        insert stru_ResItems into table tab_ResItems.
      enddo.
    node_items->bind_table( tab_ResItems ).

  • How to insert data to the specified row column of the multi column list box

    Hi All

    I have a table that containsall station nos and name.Then another table contains the data the various stations having at  for 24 hrs.That is 12 am to 11 pm.
    And i want to display each stations details as follows using a multi column list box/table
    My stationinfo table
    stnno   stnname......................
    s1           stn1
    s2            stn2
    s3             stn3
    The other table

  • How to insert date from preparedstatement

    hi,
    I have a problem here trying to insert date into my table. but the problem is the date is supposed to be grabbed from the user input which is in textfield. However, I did a short cut and made the list of data into and array of String. so when i tried to insert the data into the table it gives me this error:
    ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
    so, I would like to ask if there is a solution to insert date into the table with the use of prepared statement..
    for (int i=0; i<str_val.length; i++){
                    ps.setString(i+1, str_val);
    ps.executeUpdate();
    con.commit();
    this is how i insert data using prepared statement. but the date is causing problem. Helps please....
    Thanks in advance

    I have a problem here trying to insert date into my
    table. but the problem is the date is supposed to be
    grabbed from the user input which is in textfield.So you have a string which is supposed to contain a date (or timestamp.)
    Presumably you verified it.
    You have two choices...
    1. Create your SQL for your prepared statement using the oracle function todate(). You will need to use the exact format string, as defined by the function, that corresponds to the text field you have.
    2. Use SimpleDateFormat to parse the string into a date. Use another SimpleDateFormat to parse the date into the format expected by oracle.
