How to select rows whose one column contains some specific characters ?

These is a table say T1 with a column say C1
Let the field C1's values be:
row 1)DE/SPT/A/FWD
row 2)G/SPT/DE/DE/SPT
row 3)R/FWD/SPT/A/FWD/FWD
row 4)A/A/DE/SPT/FWD
row 5)FWD/SPT/E/DE/A
How to get only those rows whose C1 column contains FWD in last ?

We can solve this with the simple use of a wildcard:
    select *
    from t1
    where c1 like '%FWD'
    /Note that this query will execute a full table scan, because any index you may have on C1 will be ignored: indexes are organised on the leading characters.

How to select rows with Empty Column Entry

I am trying to select all rows with an empty column
select row1 from table where row2=' ';
Any suggestions. I tried a space and no space in between the ''.

An (theoretical) argument could be made that an empty string is not NULL (uknown), however Oracle's SQL and PL/SQL engines make no such distinction for VARCHAR2 and CHAR data types. As stated, you must use NULL as the comparison.

How to select rows with min value on a specific column

I have a query:
select
m.x1,
round (to_date (l.y1, 'mm/dd/yyyy HH:MI:SS AM') - m.x2, 0) as numofdays
from
table1 m,
table2 l
where
l.x3 = m.x3 and
to_date (l.y1, 'mm/dd/yyyy HH:MI:SS AM') >= TO_DATE('01012013','MMDDYYYY') and
and I got this result table:
x1 (ID)
numofdays
001
5
001
10
002
2
003
3
003
1
004
0
005
66
several ID's have multiple values on the second column, I want to have only distinct IDs with smallest "numofdays" like this:
x1 (ID)
numofdays
001
5
002
2
003
1
004
0
005

Any ideas?

Hi,
The most general and versatile way is a Top-N Query:
WITH   got_r_num AS
    select
            m.x1,
            round (to_date (l.y1, 'mm/dd/yyyy HH:MI:SS AM') - m.x2, 0) as numofdays
    ,       ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY m.x1
                                 ORDER BY      to_date (l.y1, 'mm/dd/yyyy HH:MI:SS AM') - m.x2
                               ) AS r_num
    from
          table1 m,
          table2 l
    where
          l.x3 = m.x3 and
          to_date (l.y1, 'mm/dd/yyyy HH:MI:SS AM') >= TO_DATE('01012013','MMDDYYYY') and
SELECT x1, numofdays
FROM    got_r_num
WHERE   r_num   = 1
If you'd care to post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for your sample data, then I could test it.
Notice that the sub-query (got_r_num) is exactly what you posted, only with a new column (r_num) added to the SELECT clause.

Returning two rows with one column containing only one place

Dear all;
I have a query that returns two rows similar to this below
ID      PLACE            PROGRAM
A       NEWYORK      PROGRAM A
A       NEWYORK      PROGRAM B
I would like this instead
ID      PLACE             PROGRAM
A       NEWYORK       PROGRAM A
                               PROGRAM B
All help is appreciated. Thank you.Edited by: user13328581 on Mar 22, 2011 11:52 AM

WOW...THanks a lot Solomon, I have never used partitions and row_number in such a manner...can you please explain your logic.Sure:
row_number() over(partition by id order by place,program)This will take all rows returned by the query andsplit them into buckets (partitions) by id. Inside each bucket it will order rows by place and program and assign them row numbers. So for each ID row number 1 will be row with first (alphabetically) place first programt. And this is the row where we want ID to show up. That is why we wrap the above analytic function in CASE statement which will do exactly that. Now:
row_number() over(partition by id,place order by program)does pretty much the same just bucket is ID and PLACE combination. So for each such combination we want to show only for the first (alphabetically) programt.
Now notice in ORDER BY clause I prefix ID and PLACE with table alias. You must do it since otherwise query alias ID and PLACE will take precedence resulting in wrong sort order (remember we nulled all ID and PLACE except for row number 1).

How do I find that, a column contains only numeric characters ?

I want to search for all the column values which has some non numeric value.

This should work: you'll need to adjust it if the column exceeds 10 characters. You also may need to add permitted non-numerical characters i.e. <space>, <comma>, <decimal point>, <minus sign>, etc.

ALV to select more than one column by row using set_table_for_first_display

Hello everyone,
I am developing an application (ALV OO) to select more than 1 column by row ( one ). This is an a holiday application so the idea is:
-One column will be the day, and the row will be the user.
So I am trying to select more than one day by user (that would be the row).
I am using the method set_table_for_first_display but when it shows the alv, doesn't let me to select more than one column with a click of the mouse.
Does anybody know if I can do this (select more than one column, by row) in somehow?
Please let me know if you need more clarification about this.
Thanks in advance
Diego

Hi Diego,
it's all in the documentation.
set different selection modes through the value of the field u201CSEL_MODEu201D in the layout structure.
SPACE
same as 'B'
see 'B'
Default setting
'A'
Column and row selection
Multiple columns
Multiple rows
The user selects the rows through pushbuttons at the left border of the grid control.
'B'
Simple selection, list box
Multiple columns
Multiple rows
'C'
Multiple selection, list box
Multiple columns
Multiple rows
'D'
Cell selection
Multiple columns
Multiple rows
Any cells
The user selects the rows through pushbuttons at the left border of the grid control
Beyond setting this option, you can set u201CNO_ROWMARKu201D option to hide the mark column which is normally visible when the selection mode allows multiple row selection.
One point to notice here is that if you set your ALV Grid as to be editable, it may override your selection mode regardless of your layout settings.

Return the rows of the table where a column contains a specific value first

I want my query to return the rows of the table where a column contains a specific values first in a certain order, and then return the rest of the rows alphabetized.
For Example:

ARGENTINA
AUSTRALIA
CANADA
USA
Now i want USA and CANADA on top in that order and then other in alphabetized order.

OBIEE - How to selectively hide or disable columns on a dashboard prompt?

Hello! I need some help with OBIEE dashboard Prompts. Any help will be highly appreciated!
Question 1. How to selectively hide or disable columns on a dashboard prompt or the entire prompt? There seems to be no "hide" or "dsable" options on
prompts.
Question 2. How to synchronize 2 different prompts on the same dashboard?
The application is this: There are total of 2 tabs on a dashboard ("tab_1" and "tab_2"). Each tab uses different prompts ("pr_1" and "pr_2"), having just one first drop down column in common ("Product_id").
The desired functionality is this: user selects "Product_id" on the first tab's prompt, which filters its reports (on "Go") and also propagates to the second tab. When user clicks on the second tab, the reports there are already filtered (or begin filtering) by "product_id", selected on the first tab.
Question 3. How to prevent the reports from retrieving when switching to a different tab on a dshboard? Specifying dummy default values in the prompt does
not seem to preven reports from retrieving, which still takes time.
Thank you very much!
Roger

Regarding Question 2:
What you need to have is a Dashboard scope dashboard prompt for Product_ID (i.e., Don't use the column prompt from the prompt tab within the Request.)
1) Create the dashboard prompt, put it on tab1 and save the prompt to a presentation variable, say prmtProdID. Set the scope to "dashboard." (This is the default, by the way.) If you create a dashboard prompt and set the scope to "dashboard," then the prompt values selected will hold true across dashboard pages.
2) On tab2, go to your report and in Criteria mode, apply a filter to the Product_ID column making it equal to the PV. (Click the filter icon, Add>Variable>Presentation Variable and type prmtProdID. Save.)
When the user selects a Product_ID on tab1 of your dashboard and hits "Go," not only will it filter your report on tab1, when you go to tab2 the report here will be filtered with the same value selected in the prompt on tab2.
Regarding Question 3:
If you implement 2, you cannot implement 3. You can't have it both ways. Not for the same scenario. But if you want to know how to do it in general, read this:

Take a look at this to see if the solution provided would work for you: https://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/multi_column_row_woes
Won't you have more than 10 records in your data file ? If you are going to have only 10 items then you may be able to use position() function to limit it to 3 each..

How do I switch from one column to another in a simple 3-column document? Seems lame, but I can't find the answer in "help"...

How do I switch from one column to the next, skip around? Tab key doesn't seem to do itl. I can't find any "help" in "help". Help. Please. Thank you.

Hi Karen,
It is simple.
Columns fill with text as the text becomes enough to spill over from the previous column. Below is an example. I have used a huge (6" botom margin setting to shorten the page to a reasonable length for a screen shot, and turned on Show layout and Show invisibles so the column boundaries and invisible characters can be seen. Here there's no text in column 3 as there is only enough text to fill column 1 and part of column 2.
As more text is added, it eventually fills column 2 and flows into column 3:
You can force the text into the next column by inserting a column break. Here, a column break has repalced the paragraph break in column 2 (after 'fascilisi."):
