Join columns of different data types

Can i join two columns of different data types in a single statement. Is there any cast or convert statement
SELECT B~PARTNER AS RESP_GROUP
FROM BUT000 AS B
INNER JOIN CRMV_LINKPARTNER AS C ON BPARTNER_GUID = CPARTNER_NO.
Here PARTNER_GUID is Raw 16 and PARTNER_NO is Char 32, the query is not returning any rows.
Thanks

Hi!
Basically we can say, you can't join them, but you might try this way:
SELECT B~PARTNER AS RESP_GROUP
FROM BUT000 AS B
INNER JOIN CRMV_LINKPARTNER AS C ON BPARTNER_GUID = CPARTNER_NO(16). "add
(16)
Or an other version
C~PARTNER_NO+16(16) "depends on, where is the real number stored

Saving cluster of different data types to a file

Hi,
I use LV 8.6 SDK. I need to save clusters of different data types to a file on a disk, row by row.
To be specific: I have a program that performs various investigations on a signal collected by DAQmx. Each time the quality of the signal is not in a specified boundaries, i get an indication. It is a cluster of time stamp, string, dbl, and Boolean. The program is supposed to run for few weeks in a row so there can be a lot of these indications. I expect to have around 200 000 rows a week (Altogether, divided into several groups).
I thought about TDMS but I am not able to save such a cluster. And I would like to save it as tdms cause i could divide the data to different groups. I also thought about data base but that would be the first time i use db and I really do not have time to learn that now.
I know it is possible to change some of the data types to others, ex Boolean to 0-1, but i need a string and a time stamp there.
Can someone advise me which data format should I use? Which one is the best one in this situation?
Thanks in advance
handre

If you do not need to access data from another application (other than Labview) you can just save it as a binary file.
It is the best choice (for me).
I made an example with one cluster. You can replace that with an array of clusters, of that data type.

Store values of different data types into single database field

Hi Friends,
I have to store values of different data types(character, numeric, date, time, text, etc) into a single database field(Char 80). Then read the same values and display it into ABAP Webdynpro report.
Appreciate any ideas, examples, suggestions.
Thanks
JB

Hi,
Try like this:
data: txt1 type string,
      var1(1) type c,
      var2(1) type n,
      var3 like sy-datum,
      var4 like sy-uzeit.
parameters: a type c,
            b type n,
            c like sy-datum,
            d like sy-uzeit.
concatenate a b c d into txt1.
write txt1.
var1 = txt1+0(1).
var2 = txt1+1(1).
var3 = txt1+2(8).
var4 = txt1+8(8).
write: / var1,
       / var2,
       / var3,
       / var4.

How to insert data in a column with uniqueidefier data type

Guys,
I need insert data in a column with uniqueidefier data type, when i am trying to that getting error.
error message says: "Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier."
I have data in table a col1,col2,col3,col4 - col3,col4 has datatype as varchar and i am updating table b columns col1,col2 with table a col3 and col4.
Please guide how to do it.

Hi,
Not any String can be convert to uniqueidentifier.
1. you have to make sure u use a value which is fir to be uniqueidentifier
2. Use convert or cast in the insert query in order to convert the string into uniqueidentifier
insert X ... convert(uniqueidentifier, 'string which fit to be convert to uniqueidentifier')
Please post DDL+DML for more specific help
DDL = Data Definition Language. In our case that is, CREATE TABLE statements for your tables and other definitions that are needed to understand your tables structure and there for let us to test and reproduce the problem in our server. Without DDL no one
can execute any query.
How to get DDL: Right click on the table in Object Explorer and select script table as CREATE. Post these create table scripts here.
DML = data manipulation language is a family of queries used for manipulating the data it self like: inserting, deleting and updating data. In our case we need some sample data in order to check the query and get result, so we need some indert query for
sample data.
If you post a "create query" for the tables and "insert query" with some sample, then we could help you without Assuming/Guessing. There is a reason that DDL is generally asked for and expected when discussing query problems - it helps
to identify issues, clarify terminology and prevent incorrect assumptions. Sample data also provides a common point of reference for the discussion. A script that can be used to illustrate or reproduce the issue you have, will encourage others to help.

Same Input name with different data type cause the reflection exception

I have a proxy contains couple RFCs. Two RFCs contain an argument named IN_COMPANY_CODE with data type of ZTRE_FX_BUKRSTable. Another RFC contains the same argument name of IN_COMPANY_CODE but hold different data type (String). All RFCs are in the same proxy. Complie and build the application with no issue.
But when I ran the RFC, it generates the reflection exception below:
Method SAPProxy1.Z_F_Tre_R_Pre_Trade_Fx can not be reflected. --> There was an error reflecting 'In_Company_Code'. > The XML element named 'IN_5fCOMPANY_--5fCODE' from namespace '' references distinct types System.String and MSTRFOREX.ZTRE_FX_BUKRSTable. Use XML attributes to specify another XML name or namespace for the element or types.
I realize the conflict introduced by the same name with difference data type. But I would like to know if this is fixable as a bug or if there is any best practice and/or some manual intervention to make it work.

Please install fix from OSS note 506603. After this, right-click .sapwsdl file and select "Run custom tool".

How to add different data types in Linked list?

The basic idea is that I want to implement a linked list like the one which we generally implement in C. I need to store different data types in a single node. Is it possible to implement like this or I have to implement a linked list for each different data type?

I have an application program in which there is a form. In this form there are different text fields in which data is to be inserted by the user. These data's will be inserted into the database. I want to hit the database only once. So I need to store these data in a data structure before I insert into the database. I think it will be easy for me to handle the data in a linked list if I can have different data types in a single node.
Moreover, I think u're not getting my question. This pic will help u.
http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/4500/sampler.jpg
I'm not sure about that the code which u have written will have different data types in single node. I have to try that.
And of course if anyone has any better idea than me, it will be very helpful.

Yes Prathap, I need to update a single column of type number in the search results table.but each of that column value would be updated with different values like one row in that column will take a value 325 while another will take 500 etc based on user input.
Your help in this is very much appreciated, Thanks in advance !

The priority of different data type conversion

Hi All,
I want to know the priority of data type conversion rule. if in an expression, I have several kind of data type( I, P, F,N..).
Then finaly, all the data object will convert to which data type?
I don't know the priority of data conversion.
E.g.   data a type i. data b type p. data c type f.
         a = b + c.
or    data d type p, data e type f.
      if ( d > f ).
Then who will convert to who's type?
Thanks and Regards.
Aaron

For expressions, the right term in SAP is "calculation type", it's explained here : [abap help - determining the calculation type|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABENARITH_TYPE.htm]. SAP takes the "biggest" type of all variables in the expression. It can be I, P or F (smallest is I, biggest is F).
Conditions are handled differently, just using data type conversion (see link given above by Abhishek), SAP converts from smallest to biggest type (in your case, it converts P to F and compares the two F variables).

Dynamic ORDER BY clause - Possible different data types...

I have a lexical parameter in my ORDER BY clause:
ORDER BY &P_ORDER_BY
My problem is that I have to designate this parameter as either a date, character or number, but the user defined column being ordered by could be any one of these. When I designate the parameter as a character type, and a number data type column is chosen, it orders by that value, but it orders it as though it were a character field, referencing the initial digit and not the overall numeric value. If I choose a number parameter type, and a character value is chosen, I get an invalid number error, and so on.
Anyone have any ideas how I can do this?

Okay, now we're on the right track. The lexical parameter I'm using allows the user to choose from a list of the columns being retrieved in the SELECT statement, so it will always be one that's in there, as you said. Now, since I don't know which one it's going to be, I can't just make all but one of them 'None' for the break order, BUT, what I intended to do was to add a column to the SELECT statement that would always return the column they chose, and I could put the break order on that column, leaving all the rest 'None'. However, in the past, this has created 2 problems for me.
1.) As I mentioned in the first post, the column being returned could have a data type of character, number or date, but the parameter must be designated as only one of these. So, if the user chooses to order by a column having a value with a data type other than what the parameter is designated to be, then I get errors, it doesn't order correctly, etc...
2.) This is the strange, but anytime I've marked all but one column as 'None' for the Break Order, my child data doesn't always stay with the parent. For example, the report is on an IT request database. The 'group fields' consist of data elements that are demographic info.of a request (requester, date requested, description, etc...), and the details for each request list out the comments that have been made in the system for that request. The problem I'm seeing when I set the break orders this way is that each request displays not only its own comments, but it lists out comments for other requests as well, and there doesn't seem to be any logic to which request's comments it lists in addition to its own, it just lists as many as will fit on the page...I don't know if I explained that very well, but that's what's happening.
Does any of that make sense? Any ideas?

Reverse columns with GUID Data type

Hi All,
I want to reverse some of the SQL tables in Sunopsis to create the datastores. One column in these SQL tables has GUID data type and when i reverse this table, all other data being properly displayed but the reversed data store is not displaying data under the column.
I have added GUID data type in topology in Physical Schema but still it is not working.
Can you please suggest what should I check?
Thank you so much in advance.

For some reason, this sounds like a technical question and not a comment or issue with the documentaiton.
Can you suggest a more appropriate place to ask your question?

Error;invaild number. different data type: how to insert

In testtable, ID(number(12), amount(number(12))
Now I want to insert the following record. I got error,a invalid number .
insert into testtable(id,amount) values('111','9,000.00');
I think data type is different. amount is number type but '9,000.00' is varchar2.
How can i insert '9,000.00' to number data type?
I do insert to_number('9,000.00'). It doesn't work.
Would you help me for this problem.

as amount is a number field it will only take data of type number only.so if ue data is not number type u need to convert it to number and insert it.
however u can select it in the same format(original),using something like this:
SQL> SELECT ename employee, TO_CHAR(sal, '99,990.99') from emp;
EMPLOYEE TO_CHAR(SA
SMITH 800.00
ALLEN 1,600.00
WARD 1,250.00

UNION for Columns of CLOB data type does not work

Hi,
I have two tables Encounter & Encounter_History. They have same columns. One column is of type CLOB. My requirement is to retrieve all the distinct records from both the tables with order by a date column. But problem is, UNION does not work in case of CLOB data type.
I know it will work if I use UNION ALL, but it returns duplicate records.
Please give me suggestion, how to solve this problem.
For example: The following query does not work since column1 is a CLOB data type
select column1 from table1
union
select column1 from table2
Thanks

But for sufficiently small clobs you can try:
michaels> SELECT TO_CLOB ('abc') cl
FROM DUAL
UNION
SELECT TO_CLOB ('abc')
FROM DUAL
Error at line 1
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB
michaels> SELECT TO_CHAR (TO_CLOB ('abc')) cl
FROM DUAL
UNION
SELECT TO_CHAR (TO_CLOB ('abc'))
FROM DUAL
CL
abc
1 row selected.
