Like operator with PowerQuery

Hi Everyone
Please help me to construct a PowerQuery With help of LIKE operator SQL Query
Below is my sample Query
select * from
abc where
LastModifiedDate
like
'2012-02-06%'
Thanks In Advance..

Hi
Not sure if you are trying to:
use Like in a PQ, in which case Chris Webb's blog is very helpful Implementing A Basic LIKE/Wildcard Search Function In Power Query or
are you trying to pass a parameter through to a SQL Query in which case I just posted a suggestion to a similar question here How
to pass date dynamically to SqlQuery in PowerQuery
Hope this helps

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.

LIKE operator with 2 words

I have a search box, the contents of the search field are then used in a LIKE operator statement:
SELECT * from Products WHERE product_name LIKE '% + productName + %';
this works perfectly fine for one word i.e. Fruit
but when i try Fruit Cake i get no matches i have to add Fruit%Cake in the textfield. I'm not sure how to add the percentage sign in between when there's two words. Any ideas?

but when i try Fruit Cake i get no matches i have to
add Fruit%Cake in the textfield. I'm not sure how to
add the percentage sign in between when there's two
words. Any ideas?Use a simple String.replace() to replace whitespaces with the % sign.

Using like operator with attributes in select command

Hi,
I have a table with the attributes as DID, PNO,AGE, DEPARTMENT, DATEOFADM, CHARGES, ADDRESS, DOD
I want to display the records with the months in DOD and DATEOFADM same. How can I do so? I also want to do the same with the dates in the 2 attributes.
Thanks
Edited by: 1004111 on May 23, 2013 1:51 AM

Hi,
Please read SQL and PL/SQL FAQ
When you put some <b>code or output</b> please enclose it between two lines starting with {noformat}<b></b>{noformat}
i.e.:
{noformat}{noformat}
SELECT ...
{noformat}{noformat}
You should post create table and insert statement for your requirement.
You can check if 2 dates have the same month in either way:-- this is comparing year and month
SELECT *
FROM yourtable
WHERE TRUNC(dod,'MM')=TRUNC(dateofadm,'MM');
-- or in case you want to compare only months no matter the year
SELECT *
FROM yourtable
WHERE EXTRACT(MONTH FROM dod) = EXTRACT(MONTH FROM dateofadm);
Regards.

Using the LIKE operator with wildcards to match names

I am using SQL in ColdFusion 9 to match names in an MS Access 2003 database table.
The Visitors field of MyTable contains the name "Smith" in six records.
1. Smith Jones Wilson
2. Smith, Jones, Wilson
3. Smith(Jr.), Jones, Wilson
4. Jones Wilson Smith
5. Wilson Smith Jones
6. Smith
7. Smithson, Jones, Wilson
8. Jones, Wilson, Arrowsmith
To find out which records contain the name Smith (but not Smithson or Arrowsmith) I now need to write four "OR" lines:
WHERE MyField LIKE 'Smith[!a-zA-Z]%' (finds only the Smiths in records 1, 2 and 3)
         OR MyField LIKE '%[!a-zA-Z]Smith' (finds only the Smith in record 4)
       OR MyField LIKE '%[!a-zA-Z]Smith[!a-zA-Z]%' (finds only the Smith in record 5)
       OR MyField = 'Smith'   (finds only the Smith in record 6)
I would like to know how to combine these four lines into one which would find all six records containing Smith.
Thank you for your help.

As this is a SQL-specific question, you might be better off asking it on a SQL forum? Does Access even support regexes?
For a CF the regex you'd be after "\bsmith\b". You should read the Access regex reference to see if it supports this. A CF regular expression is no use to you here as the comparison needs to be done on the DB, not in CF.

Misread the question. Revising.

Like operator and byte[ ]

hello,
how to use Like operator with byte[ ]
byte[] buff= myString.getBytes("UTF-8");
String query="SELECT * FROM Person WHERE Firstname LIKE ? "
ps = getConnection().prepareStatement(query);
ps.setBytes(1, buff);
rset = ps.executeQuery(); thanks

no effect
byte[] buff= myString.getBytes("UTF-8");
String query="SELECT * FROM Person WHERE Firstname
LIKE ? "
ps = getConnection().prepareStatement(query);
ps.setBytes(1, new String(buff));
rset = ps.executeQuery();
What a complete and utter bunch of crap.
You are back to not having wildcards again.
God knows what is in myString.
And of course you still haven't posted your result set processing code which if it is the same garbage as before will do you no good whatsoever.
Crap.
What exactly is the problem here? Another copy and past programmer in over their heads with a deadline looming or what?

EJB QL "LIKE" OPERATOR NIGHTMARE

i want to pass input parameter to my ejb ql.
it will look like this :
"SELECT OBJECT(p) FROM EntityBeanTable p WHERE p.Title LIKE ?1"
But it seem its imposible with ejb 2.0. am i right ?
how to overcome this then,
"LIKE" operator is so damn important, without this we can't continue our development.
shall we use bmp ? or ????

You can use the like operator with parameters, you just have to put your wildcards into the parameter. Here's an excerpt:
A query that uses a LIKE operator would look something like this:
SELECT DISTINCT OBJECT(user)
FROM User user
WHERE user.userInfo.lastName LIKE ?1
If you check out the code in the code listing on the left-hand side of this panel, you will
note that a method exposes this functionality from the UserManagement session bean
so that you can access it from the client with the getUserByLastNameLike()
method. Thus, to use getUserByLastNameLike(), you can specify the pattern
string as a parameter.
For example, to find users with last names like "High", you would pass the following
parameter value:
users = userMgmt.getUserByLastNameLike("High%");

[VB] Like operator not functioning?

I'm trying to create the following statement in my VB code, but I'm getting a "Sub or Function not defined" error. My question is, how do you use the Like operator with InDesign scripting? InDesign doesn't seem to recognize the Like operator.
"myCurrentString" contains a letter.
If myCurrentString Like "[A-z]" Then
End If
I'm also trying to do the following:
If myCurrentDigit Like "[0-9]" Then
End If

I couldn't find "RegExp" in the InDesign script model--could you give a bit more information about what this is? I don't know how to iterate through the contents of an XMLElement as individual character objects, so I'm iterating throught XML.contents, putting each character in a basic string variable. I need a way to put strings into a With statement, or a Like operator. I haven't had success with either technique.
Here's an example:
strTime = myCurrentXMLElement.contents
strTime = Trim(strTime)
strLength = Len(strTime)
For counter = 1 to strLength
strTemp = Mid(strTime, counter, 1)
[This is where I need to find out if strTemp is a letter or a digit]

Case Insensitive Search coupled with "LIKE" operator.

Greetings All, I am running Oracle 11gR1 RAC patchet 25 on Windows X64.
This db supports and application that requires case insensitive searches.
Because there are a few entry points into the db I created an "after login" trigger:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER MyAppAfterLogon_TRGR
AFTER LOGON
ON DATABASE
DECLARE
vDDL VARCHAR2(200) := 'alter session set nls_comp=''linguistic''';
vDDL2 VARCHAR2(200) := 'alter session set nls_sort=''binary_ci''';
BEGIN
IF ((USER = 'MyAppUSER') OR(USER = 'MyAppREPORTINGUSER')) THEN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE vDDL;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE vDDL2;
END IF;
END MyAppAfterLogon_TRGR;
This ensures that everyone connecting to the DB via any mechanism will automatically have case insensitive searches.
Now, to optimize the know queries I created the standard index to support normal matching queries:
select * from MyTable where Name = 'STEVE';
The index looks like:
CREATE INDEX "CONTACT_IDX3 ON MYTABLE (NLSSORT("NAME",'nls_sort=''BINARY_CI'''))
This all works fine, no issues.
The problem is when I write a query that uses the "LIKE" operator:
select * from MyTable where Name like 'STEV%';
I get back the record set I expect. However, my index is not used? I can't for the life of me get this query to use an index.
The table has about 600,000 rows and I have run gather schema stats.
Does anyone know of any issues with case insensitive searches and the "LIKE" clause?
Any and all help would be appreciated.
L

I think there is issue with your logon trigger :
"IF ((USER = 'MyAppUSER') OR(USER = 'MyAppREPORTINGUSER')) THEN"
it should be :
IF UPPER(USER) = 'MYAPPUSER' OR UPPER(USER) = 'MYAPPREPORTINGUSER' THEN
because user name stored in Upper case. Check and try.

Multiple row subquery with like operator

can any1 give me an example where we can use a multiple row subquery with the like operator.I read it can be used but when i tried it gives the following error
select * from gagan_emp where ename like (select ename from gagan_emp where deptno=10)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row

The right part of 'LIKE' is permitted only single value expression
(including subquery that returns single value),
is not permitted multiple values.
-- Examples (but.... not so good)
select * from gagan_emp e0
where exists
(select ename from gagan_emp e1 where deptno=10
and e0.ename like e1.ename)
select * from gagan_emp e0
where exists
(select ename from gagan_emp e1 where deptno=10
and e0.ename = e1.ename)
select * from gagan_emp e0
where ename = any
(select ename from gagan_emp e1 where deptno=10)
select * from gagan_emp
where ename like
(select ename from gagan_emp e1 where deptno=10 and rownum=1)
