How to use LIKE , IN, NULL combined to remove OR operator.

I have a query to get result but we can not use OR operator here. I am trying to find if I can use IN operator somehow to get rid of OR.
Query - Select * from table where col1 like ('%ABC%') or col1 is null;
I am trying to find some query like - Select * from table where col1 IN ('%ABC%', null);
I tried even following but didnt work - Select * from table where col1 IN ('ABC', '');
I just want to remove OR operator from query. Thanks in advance.

A is the head of Dept 10 and three person are under A namelyHow will you know that B, C and D are under A is there any parent child relationship between Leader and Employee code? If yes, Then you can create the relationship between blocks no need to set where_clause programatically. So, relationship can be like...
leader_block.emp_code = emp_block.leader_code
AND leader_blokc.dep_code = emp_block.dep_codeSo, when you will query data in LEADER block it will show employees which are under LEADER which you queried in LEADER block.
Or if there is no relationship then how will you know that which employee under which leader?
b 002 10 1
c 003 10 1
d 004 10 1
When i enter the name of head corresponding other members in the department will need to display in the
Tabular format Or if you want to query the records only for department relation. Then as you said you create two blocks then create create the relationship using dep_code between those blocks.
like...
leader.dep_code = emp_block.dep_code-Ammad

How to use the same BSA with more than an operating unit ?

we have three operating units, sometimes a sales agreement is released from the three operating units, is there a way i can use the same sales agreemnet with the three operating units?

We had the same issue recently.
Users wanted same locator in the same org under different subinventories.
We suggested 2 solutions
1) Make the 1st locator segment=subinventory name (e.g. East.A.3.10, West.A.3.10)
2) Add a character to the first locator (e.g. EA.3.10, WA.3.10)
They picked up the 2nd option.
Hope this helps

How to use "like" with variables at right hand side ?.Urgent Pls..

How can I compare a column with a combination of columns.
columns are character
select ...from table1 t1,table2 t2 where
t1.col1 like t2.col1 || t2.col2
eg:
where p.upc = '0' ||r.upc_ccode||r.upc_mnum|| r.upc_mcode
this restricts LHS to start with 0 and values starting with non zero are not taken for comparison.I need to include those values also in comparison
p.upc can start with any char 0 -9.
p.upc ->char(12)
r.upc_commod_code||r.upc_mfg_num|| r.upc_mfg_it -> total char(11)
Any Help would be highly appreciated !
Thanks In Advance!

How to use LIKE function with a parameter in Oracle REPORT builder??

how could i use parameter inside a LIKE function in Oracle reports builder?
it works in SQL plus, but not in report builder!!
Example:
select code,desc from item_master where desc
like '%&give_desc%'; ---works in SQL
like '%:give_desc%' ---doesn't work in report builder!!

Hi Renil,
You will need to use the wildcard character (%) and the concatenation character (||) to join to your user parameter.
i.e. like '%'||:give_desc||'%'

How to use AND and OR Combinations for a Rule in Rule Modeler of ERMS

Hi Experts,
When we are defining rules in the Rule Policy, we need to create a condition which uses a combinations of AND and OR.
But the standard Rule Modeler of ERMS is allowing us to create conditions either using all AND or with all OR options.
Is there anyway that we can define rules in the Rule Modeler using both AND and OR combinations at the same time.

A variant is a very specific LabVIEW datatype (really a C++ type object internally) and trying to pass that to a function, which excepts a flat memory pointer there, for sure will crash very quickly.
As to endianess, yes Unflatten will be able to adjust for endianess, which in this case however is most likely exectly NOT what you want. So make sure that the you select native type for the endianess input on Unflatten from String. LabVIEW internally works with whatever is the native endianess, as will most likely your C++ DLL. The platform independent big endian format does only come into play when you receive data streams over some streaming interface like a network connection. Here it is desirable to use an endian format that is independent from the actual platform that generates and consumes the data stream. LabVIEWs default endianes is big endian here.
But as long as you pass data directly to native components like DLLs there is no difference in endianess between what LabVIEW uses and what those components use.

How to use LIKE in this CASE?

There are multiple values that start with "Aerospace". All of them are going to be set to the same value. I'm trying to write a Case Statement that will replace all of them with the new value, but i can't get the LIKE to work correctly.
This can probably be done with REPLACE, but It's bugging me that I can't get the LIKE to work.
I've tried a few variations, but compiler hasn't like any of them. I'm hoping to have one line of code that will work for all of the possible choices.
What is the best way to use a LIKE or similar thing (such as CONTAINS) to set all of the fields with "Aerospace" at the beginning?
Sorry for the small font above. I didn't see how to change it.
'New Sector Focus' = CASE sectorfocus
WHEN sectorfocus LIKE 'Aerospace%' THEN '201010 - Aerospace & Defense'
ELSE sectorfocus
END

CASE expression looks good. CASE blog:

How to use like operator in IFTHENELSE (BODS)

Or else if you want to replace ASSOC to Assoc. Then you can use Search_Replace also
it will generate a XML script
The expected output as follows in the below screen. As per your requirement you can you any one of this.

How to use LIKE operator with PreparedStatement

Hi, I need to execute a query with the LIKE operator, but using a PreparedStatement. Can I do this, and if so what must my SQL look like with the wildcard characters '%' or '_'?
normal PS example: conn.prepareStatement("select * from mytable where name like ?");
If I try: conn.prepareStatement("select * from mytable where name like ?%");
I get: ORA-00911: invalid character
If I try: conn.prepareStatement("select * from mytable where name like '?%'");
I get: ORA-01006: bind variable does not exist
I must use a PreparedStatement, as my variable may contain illegal characters (like '), and using PreparedStatement.setString(1, var) will automatically escape it for me.
I could also use a normal Statement, but I need to escape my var ... is there a utility that will safely escape a String for an Oracle VARCHAR2??
Thanks in advance,
Stu Miller

Hmm, it seems you are right...
when my variable contains a '%' symbol, the PreparedStatement will NOT escape it, and thus it is treated like a wildcard. Therefore, I can just do
pstmt.setString(1, var+"%");
But, that may return more results than I'm asking for, as when 'var' contains a '%' symbol it is taken as a wildcard too.
I need each character in my variable to be taken literally, and only add a wildcard at the end. Basically, I need a STARTSWITH operator ;-)
It seems to me that escaping the sensitive characters in a String (which will differ depending on which operator is used), should be possible. I could write this, but I was hoping Oracle had already done it for me in some utility class.

How To: Use Like '*' with DoQuery

As anyone who has tried to use a LIKE in their SELECT statement will know, if you are using the DoQuery method of the SAPbobsCOM.Recordset object, LIKE's are not supported. Here is a workaround that seems to work fairly well for our needs.
Code Sample:
findValueLength = findValue.Length.ToString();
sqlQuery = "SELECT CardName AS ReturnValue1 FROM OCRD WHERE LEFT(CardCode," + findValueLength + ") = '" + findValue + "' AND CardType <> 'S'";
rs = (SAPbobsCOM.Recordset) sapConnect.SboCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset);
rs.DoQuery(sqlQuery);
Basically, if you select anything who's left x characters are the same as the find value, it will return the same results as doing a LIKE findValue*.

How to use LIKE for more than one condition

I want to get list of usernames starting with A,B, and C....can any one provide the query using LIKE

You would need to use something more like one of these:
SELECT username FROM table
WHERE username LIKE ('AB%') or
username LIKE ('AC%') or
username LIKE ('AD%');
SELECT username FROM table
WHERE SUBSTR(username, 1, 2) IN ('AB', 'AC', 'AD')
SELECT username FROM table
WHERE REGEXP_LIKE (username, '^AB|^AC|^AD')The regexp_like version is only available on 10g or higher.

How to use different essbase member combinations in columns in obiee

Hello,
I am trying to build a report in obiee which has an essbase ASO cube in the background. We have a measure 'A' that exists in BegBalance and a measure 'B' that exists in months Jan through Dec. So in my criteria, i set the dimensions i need along with "Periods - Default" and in the selection pane set the condition to keep only the months and begbalance. I also set the pivot so that the periods and the measures show up in columns.
When i run the report, in the columns for both measures, i get begbalance and the 12 months.
However, i only want measure A to show with begbalance and measure B to show with the 12 months. How can i accomplish this?]
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
