Insert string containing '&'

How to insert string containing '&' into a table
INSERT INTO TBL_CHANGES_ORGANISATIES(CHANGE_MANAGEMENT_ID, SUBMITTER) VALUES ('HM0000002147848|TK0000003121328','CS CSU S\&B Change Management')

if you're in sqlplus:
put set define offprior to running your insert.
if you're in Toad, either:
put set define offbefore your insert statement, and run both in as a script
OR
right mouseclick on the editor and untick the "Prompt for substitution variables", and you need never worry about the & again!

Inserting strings over 2000 in length

Hi,
I'm trying to populate a database table which contains a long and
I've been running into two Oracle errors:
ORA-01462: cannot insert string literals longer than 2000
characters
and
ORA-01489: result of string concatenation is too long
Can someone point me to documentation or a solution of how you
can get a 29k string into the database? I have code regarding how
to use LOBs, but I'm unfamiliar with any stored procedures which
will allow you to append to a long column with new content. I
need to use long for the project I am working on.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Ralf,
If you read the documentation on
http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/index.html you will
find a statement saying that the JdbcOdbcDriver is
only for test and experimental use.Yes, but my and other's experiences with the JDBC-ODBC bridge itself are very well.
Since it is only a bridge over the specific vendor's ODBC driver, you are limited to the capabilities of that.
But the bridge is not to blame for this.
For MS products you may reach efforts by updating to an actual MDAC version.
Nethertheless, with MS ODBC there are some problems.
Search the driver database (a link is on the above web
page) for another (commercial) driver. I recommend the
type 4 driver from i-net.Ok.
Have you tried out that error David reported with the i-net driver?
I use JDBC-ODBC with MS SQLServer 2000, actual MDAC, and I get that error with PreparedStatement.
But it's all ok with a normal statement.
So if you could test them both with the i-net driver, we would see if it's again the MS ODBC driver.
Regards,
Ralf SchumacherI think, I'm not the first you asks this:
you are not the quick one we saw in Suzuka on Sunday, are you?

Inserting strings of printable and non printable characters

I would very much appreciate some help with the following
To handle an interface with a legacy system I need to create strings containing both printable and non-printabel ascii characters. And with non printable characters I mean in particular those in the range of ASCII 128 to 159.
It seems it is not possible to insert a string containting both printable and not printable characters from the afore mentioned range into a VARCHAR2 table column as the following demonstrates:
insert into test values(chr(156)); -- this inserts the 'œ' symbol.
SQL> select test, ascii(test), length(test), substr(test,1,1), ascii(substr(test,1,1))from test;
TEST       ASCII(TEST) LENGTH(TEST) SUBSTR(TEST,1,1) ASCII(SUBSTR(TEST,1,1))
┐                  156            1That the the character mapped is shown as '┐' and not 'œ' is not really issue for my application, what is important is that the ASCII value is shown as 156, which is the ASCII code of the character I inserted.
What is however strange (actually probably not strange but has to do with the lack of understanding of the issue at hand) is that substr returns an empty string...
Now I try to insert a concatenated string, first the "non printable" character then a printable character
insert into test values(chr(156)||chr(65));
SQL> select test, ascii(test), length(test), substr(test,1,1), ascii(substr(test,1,1))from test;
TEST       ASCII(TEST) LENGTH(TEST) SUBSTR(TEST,1,1) ASCII(SUBSTR(TEST,1,1))
A                   65            1 A                                     65For some reason the not printable character (chr(156)) is now not inserted or at least does not appear when I selected the data from the table, this effect seems to apply to all characters in the range of ASCII 128 to 159 (tried some but not all) However for instance CHR(13) can be inserted as part of a string as shown above .
For our application I really don't care much what character is shown or not show, what is important is that I can retrieve the ASCII value and that this value matches the one I inserted which for some reason does not seem to work.
This seems to be, at least to some extent a character set issue. I have also tested this on a database with character sets set as follows
NLS_CHARACTERSET
WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
AL16UTF16
With WE8MSWIN1252 the described issue does NOT occur, however unfortunately I must use NLS_CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8 which produces the results as described above!
As said any insights would be much appreciated as I am slowly but surely starting to despair.
For completions sake, character sets are set as follows (changing it is NOT an option):
NLS_CHARACTERSET
AL32UTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
AL16UTF16
The test table is created as follows
CREATE TABLE TEST
TEST VARCHAR2(1000 BYTE)

Edited by: helios.taraba on Dec 2, 2012 10:24 AM Added description of test results using NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8MSWIN1252

Hello Orafad,
Thanks for your reply, at least I understand the effects I'm seeing i.e.
+"For multibyte character sets, n must resolve to one entire code point. Invalid code points are not validated, and the result of specifying invalid code points is indeterminate."+
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/functions026.htm
You are absolutely right I could use chr(50579) to get the ligature symbol. However as what we are trying to achieve is to implement a legacy interface to a 20+ years old subsystem we are actually not so much interested in the symbol itself but rather in the ascii value of that symbol (156 as you so rightly point out in the win-1252 characterset), this particular field represents the lenght of the message being sent to the subsystem and can vary from decimal 68 to 164 and is also considered in a checksum calculation which is part of the message.
As changing the nls_characterset of the database is not an option I guess I only have one reasonable avenue to resolve this namely to push the functionality to added the "encoded" length of the message (and the calculation of the checksum) to the java driver which is responsible for sending the message (tcp/ip) to the subsystem. Here we should not have any issues adding a byte with the value 156 (or any other for that matter) to the datastream.
Thankfully all other fields have characters with ascii values below 128 and above 31.
I'm going to leave my question as un-answered for a bit longer in the hopes of someone coming up with a golden bullet, although not getting my hopes up.
Thanks, Helios

Inserting strings in a database

Hello all!
I am trying to insert string values in a database with this metode.
public void insertData(){
try{
String url = "jdbc:odbc":"+database;
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);
Statement status = connection.createStatement();
status.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO radiograhy (Title, Red, Green, Blue,"
+ "Hue,Saturation,Value,Color,Path,IdRadiography,Description) VALUES "
+"("+Title+","+Red+","+ Green+","+ Blue +","
+ Hue+","+Saturation+","+Value+","+Color+","+Path+","
+IdRadiography+","+Description+")");
}catch(SQLException e){
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println(e);
but the metode throws me an exception :
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.

This has actually nothing to do with JDBC, but with basic SQL knowledge.
Print the complete query using System.out.println and try to find out what's wrong with it. Play with it, execute it right on the DB, etcetera. If you don't understand it, then don't bother to read some SQL tutorials how to write clean SQL.
Once you understand SQL, I would also recommend you to use PreparedStatement instead.

How to parse a string containing xml data

Hi,
Is it possible to parse a string containing xml data into a array list?
my string contains xml data as <blood_group>
     <choice id ='1' value='A +ve'/>
     <choice id ='2' value='B +ve'/>
         <choice id ='3' value='O +ve'/>
</blood_group>how can i get "value" into array list?

There are lot of Java XML parsing API's available, e.g. JAXP, DOM4J, JXPath, etc.
Of course you can also write it yourself. Look which methods the String API offers you, e.g. substring and *indexOf.

Best way to split a single string containing 2 words into word1 and word2

Whats the best way to take a string containing 2 words and split it into 2 strings ?

If your list is always going to have exactly two words, then yes. Otherwise it depends on your requierments.

Problem in Inserting string in mysql databse

Hi all,
I am trying to insert string in mysql using java query.As I have taken field varchar,that should be in single quotes,whereas string is having double quotes...so as I am trying to insert data that gives null value all the time.
I did like:
String name=jTextFieldname.getText();
String sql="insert into record_master values (name,orderno,email,dob,address,mobile)";Any pointers are appreciable.
Regards,

Oh I got the sollution...Tat was something like:

Execute a string containing a PL/SQL block

Hi,
I would like to build a string containing a PL/SQL block and execute it dynamically. Is there way to do this.
Note - The reason I want to this is because, based on certain table data dictionary views the declaration section of the PL/SQL block that I am building might vary
I tried to use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE, it didn't work, pls let me know if I am missing something.
DECLARE
v_str VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
v_str := 'BEGIN NULL; END';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_str;
END;
/

Hi,
Just happened to find it. EXECUTE IMMEDIATE can be used, the bug with my code was I didn't have a ; after the END statement. Corrected code is below, thanks for your time
DECLARE
v_str VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
v_str := 'BEGIN NULL; END;';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_str;
END;

Quick string question finding if a string contains a character

hello peeps
is there a quick way of checking if a string contains a specific character
e.g.
myString="test:test";
myString.contains(":");
would be true
any ideas on a quick way of doing it

is there a contains() method in 1.4.2? i couldnt see
it in the docsNo there isn't. But the 1.5 has a contains(CharSequence s) method.

Is it possible to search for strings containing spaces and special characters?

In our RoboHelp project, there are figures with text labels such as Figure 1, Figure 3-2, etc.
When I search for "Figure 3" I get all pages containing "Figure" and "3", even if I surround it in quotes. Similarly, searching for "3-2" treats the '-' character as a space and searches for all pages containing '3' or '2'.
Is there a way to search for strings containing spaces and special characters?

In that case I think the answer is no if you are using the standard search engine. However I believe that Zoom Search does allow this type of searching. Check out this link for further information.

Evalutate a string containing a numeric expression

I need a function which would evaluate a string containing numbers and operators like "1+1" and return 2. The function should take into account precedence and all arithmetic and logical operators
Thanks
Mita

Why don't you use the JDK compiler APIs (com.sun.javac.Main class) to compile on the fly a class implementing this interface:
public interface Evaluator {
public double evaluate() {
return xxx;
where xxx is your expression?
Obviously, you build this class' source at runtime when you get the expression as input, and after you compile it you load it with Class.ForName(), instanciate it with newIstance() and the call the "evaluate" method.
The advantage of this approach is that you can use "automagically" every expression available in java language. And with some extra effort of text-processing, even the Math functions!!!
