Multiple clobs in a single row of data

I have several clobs in a single row of data and have created a procedure where I attempt to display the first 4k of each clob.
using a for loop cursor I select all of the clobs in a row at the same time and then I use dbms_lob.read to get the first 4k of data.
For the first lob of each row everything works fine but when I attempt to dbms_lob.read the second one I get an "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: invalid LOB locator specified: ORA-22275" and I'm not sure why?
does anyone know of an example where two or more clobs are selected and then converted to 4K varchars?
sample columns for the table:
SPECIALREQUIREMENTSS     CLOB
REFERENCERANGE     CLOB
ALERTVALUE     CLOB
REFERENCELAB     VARCHAR2(50 CHAR)
TESTINCLUDES     CLOB
LASTUPDATE     DATE
sample code (I removed some code for clairity - this produces the same error):

end test_lobs;

didn't think that checking for a length of zero and null would produce two different results - should have known better.
Thanks for your help!

How to loop through a single row of data?

What I'm trying to do is use a cursor to loop through a clob. When I create my cursor I get the an error telling me that the table does not exist. Which implies that I have an implicit cursor. Is there a way to get around this?

> How to loop through a single row of data?
By not looping as there is only a single row?
> What I'm trying to do is use a cursor to loop through a clob
Processing (looping through) a CLOB has nothing to do with a cursor.
> When I create my cursor I get the an error telling me that the table does
not exist. Which implies that I have an implicit cursor.
Incorrect. It simply means that
a) you do not have permissions to access that table from within the current context
b) it does not exist (e.g. you have misspelled the object name, you have not qualified it properly within the current scope, etc)

Customizing Sharepoint Calendar Week Group View to display multiple weeks in a single row

Hi,
SharePoint Calendar's Week Group View is useful for comparing multiple co-worker's schedule, and we have a business needs to be able to view the schedule for with the date range of more than one week at a time between co-workers for planning purposes, is
there a way (code or no-code) to manipulate the date/week range so that the calendar display more than 7 days in a single row?

Hi,
As there is no such OOTB feature, I would suggest that you can change the calendar scope to “Month” or create a Gantt view to display more weeks in a view.
Or you can try to create a custom calendar web part to meet your requirement.
Here are some samples of custom calendar web part for your reference:

Showing multiple Objects in a single row in Gantt Chart

Hi,
I am wokring on extending the cPro4.5 gantt chart.
I have a tree hierarchy which I want to display on the Gantt Chart. But my need is to display all the children and its parent in single row i.e. in a new row bove the Poject row in the gantt tree (hierarchy shown on the left side) of existing chart.
Is it possible with the Gantt chart?
If yes, then where and how do I pass this information to the transformation I call in the end to convert the abap tables into XML file which is finally shown on the gantt.
Kindly guide.

Hi Varum,
Sorry but I think I don't understand your requirement. Do you need see on the left of your gantt project structure?

Multiple clobs for a single record, best approach

In the past, we've typically dealt with a single clob per table, maybe 2 at the most, but in a recent design session our users indicated a need to have about 10 >4000 byte fields in order to records different aspects of code violations. In many cases, only 3-4 of these will exceed the 4000 character limit at any one time, but it could be any 3 of the potential 10 (and under those circumstances, the other 7 of 10 will contain data, they just wouldn't be the main focus of the overall entry).
We're using 8K blocks in our system right now, and so even if I tasked our Analyst with keely trying to determine if all of these fields were truly CLOB-worthy, we'd still be exceeding 8K if we converted some of these 10 fields into VARCHAR2 (2000-4000 byte) columns.
One idea that came up, was to create a separate 1:1 table which only contains the 10 CLOBS, since they're not expected to be searched during any OLTP activity. That way, any occasional full table scans wouldn't have to load the "header" of any CLOBs stored inline. That seemed like a good solution, but I thought I'd post here so see what other alternatives are out there.
Thanks,

Merge 2 rows into single row with data update?

hello all,
i have a table with below data,
declare @tbl table (uid int, uname varchar(10), start_dt date, end_dt date)
insert into @tbl values (1, 'env1', '4/4/2010', '5/5/2012')
insert into @tbl values (2, 'env2', '5/4/2010', '6/6/2012')
--earlier start data is '4/4/2010' from 'env1'
--latest end data is '6/6/2012' from 'env2'
insert into @tbl values (3, 'env1', '3/3/2010', '4/4/2012')
insert into @tbl values (4, 'env2', '2/2/2010', '5/5/2012')
--earlier start data is '2/2/2010' from 'env2'
--latest end data is '5/5/2012' from 'env2'
insert into @tbl values (5, 'env1', '8/8/2010', '12/12/2012')
insert into @tbl values (6, 'env2', '9/9/2010', '10/10/2012')
--earlier start data is '8/8/2010' from 'env1'
--latest end data is '12/12/2012' from 'env1'insert into @tbl values (6, 'envX', '9/9/2010', '10/10/2012')insert into @tbl values (6, 'envY', '9/9/2010', '10/10/2012')
i need to merge 2 rows for column "uname" having value "env1" & "env2" to "envZ" and need to capture earlier start date and latest end date from both and update with new.
the desire output should be,
declare @tbl table (uid int, uname varchar(10), start_dt date, end_dt date)
insert into @tbl values (1, 'envZ', '4/4/2010', '6/6/2012')
insert into @tbl values (4, 'envZ', '2/2/2010', '5/5/2012')
insert into @tbl values (5, 'envZ', '8/8/2010', '12/12/2012')
insert into @tbl values (6, 'envX', '9/9/2010', '10/10/2012')
insert into @tbl values (6, 'envY', '9/9/2010', '10/10/2012')
note - i must need to update one row and delete other row as i can't insert new rows (having huge data with other columns also).
please suggest optimize query. thanks!

Which version and edition of SQL Server are you using?
Whenever there is a row with 'env1', there is a corresponding 'env2' and vice versa?
The row with 'env2' is always after the row with 'env1'? (uid+1)
If the answers are yes to both questions above, here's a possibility:
-- code #1 v3
;with
ENVZ as (
SELECT uid= case when T1.start_dt <= T2.start_dt then T1.uid else T2.uid end,
start_dt= case when T1.start_dt <= T2.start_dt then T1.start_dt else T2.start_dt end,
end_dt= case when T1.end_dt > T2.end_dt then T1.end_dt else T2.end_dt end
from @tbl as T1
inner join @tbl as T2 on T2.uid=T1.uid+1 and T2.uname='env2'
where T1.uname = 'env1'
MERGE
into @tbl as T3
using ENVZ as T4
on T3.uid = T4.uid
when matched and (T3.uname in ('env1','env2')) then
UPDATE set T3.uname= 'envZ',
T3.start_dt= T4.start_dt,
T3.end_dt= T4.end_dt
when not matched by source and (T3.uname in ('env1','env2')) then
DELETE;
The table @tbl is read three times in the above code. There are probably ways to optimize the above code. Or even other more efficient approach.

Just using and unbounded record with the group order type set to sequence. each row could have 0 to hundreds

Sucks that it is all the same delimiter.

SQL Update a Single Row Multiple Times Using 2 Data Sets

I'm working in tsql and have an issue where I need to do multiple updates to a single row based on multiple conditions.
By Rank_
If the column is NULL I need it to update no matter what the Rank is.
If the Ranks are the same I need it to update in order of T2_ID.
And I need it to use the last updated output.
I've tried using the update statement below but it only does the first update and the rest are ignored. Here is an example of the data sets i'm working w/ and the Desired results. Thanks in advance!
update a
set Middle = case when a.Rank_> b.Rank_ OR a.Middle IS NULL then ISNULL(b.Middle,a.Middle) end,
LName = case when a.Rank_> b.Rank_ OR a.Lname IS NULL then ISNULL(b.LName,a.LName) end,
Rank_ = case when a.Rank_> b.Rank_ then b.Rank_ end
from #temp1 a
inner join #temp2 b on a.fname = b.fname
where b.T2_ID in (select top 100% T2_ID from #temp2 order by T2_ID asc)

The Merge clause actually errors because it attempt to update the same record. I think this CTE statement is the closest I've come but I'm still working through it as I'm not too familiar w/ them. It returns multiple rows which I will have to
insert into a temp table to update since the resulting row I need is the last in the table.

Single row of XML data missing

OK, much strangeness here.
I have an mx:DataGrid taking its data from an array
collection thusly:
logSheetData = logs.lastResult.logsheet.data as
ArrayCollection;
The XML is being generated perfectly by a php page.
If the xml consists of 2 or more nodes (i.e. the mysql_query
returned 2 or more rows of data from the database) then the grid
populates properly and everyone is happy. However, if the query
returns only a single row of data, the grid is blank.
I've checked the php and the contents of the database - if
there's only a single row of data to come back, one row's worth of
XML is returned.
This has been driving me mad all morning! Help!
-Update-
I have patched the problem by adding in an empty node to the
xml structure if only 1 row of data is returned - this seems to
fool the grid and causes it to display properly. Buy why!

Display spool output i.e a single row in a single line

hello All,
I have report that outputs many columns is single row , when run in the background.
The problem that I am facing that the the single row of columns is wrapped into second line when certain limit of chararcters is reached. That is the single row of data is placed into two lines.
While running the job in the background I choose the LOCL or LP01 printer with format X_65_255.
Also note that I have other SAP systems but in that systems when I use the same procedure(printer and format also the same) for the same report the outputf for single row is not warpped into 2 lines but appears in the same line.
Please provide your input. Points will be rewrded for helpful answers
regards
Sachin

Note that this solution is for downloading wide formats only - not printing...
Here is what I did:
To create format Y_1024_1023 (New name!)
1) Transaction SPAD
2) Click "Full Administration" button
3) Click on "Device Types" tab
4) Click "Display" button next to "Format Types" field
5) Place cursor on X_65_255
6) Click in menu Format --> Create using template (F5)
7) Change Number of rows to 1023 (if set to 65, you will have more pages and hence more headers)
9) Change Number of Columns to 1023 (as wide as can be displayed in SP01)
8)Give new name to format e.g. Y_1023_1023
To create spool device YSPOOL:
1) Transaction SPAD
2) Click on "Device/Servers" tab (first tab!)
3) Click 'Display" button next to Output Devices field
4) Click "Create" button (Shift-F1)
5) Give output device long name (e.g.YSPOOL) and short name (e.g.YSPO)
6) Device attributes tab --> Device type = ASCIIPRI (Some generic ASCII printer) - I actually used a ZU_ASCII created in our system but ASCIIPRI should also work.
7) Access method tab --> Host printer = some value (e.g. outfile2)
8) Save
Now assign Y_1024_1023 to Device type:
1) Transaction SPAD
2) Click on Device types tab
3) Enter "ASCIIPRI" in "Device types" field and click display button
4) Click on "Formats" button (F6)
5) Click on "Create' button (Shift-F1)
6) In popup, type Y_1023_1023 (or use drop-down to choose from)

Split single row in multiple rows based on date range

I need sql script that can split single row in multiple rows based on start date and end date column in table.
Thank you

I agree to your suggestion of having a dates table permanently in the database. Thats how we also do for most of our projects as well
But in most projects the ownership of table creation etc lies with the client as they will be the DBAs and will be design approval authorities. What I've seen is the fact that though
many of them are in favour of having calendar table they dont generally prefer having a permanent table for numbers in the db. The best that they would agree is for creating a UDF which will have
tally table functionality built into it based on a number range and can be used in cases where we need to multiply records as above.
Wherever we have the freedom of doing design then I would also prefer creating it as a permanent table with required indexes as you suggested.

Those people do not understand about database and are not DBAs :-)
It is our job to tell them what is right or wrong.
** This is a real story! I had a client several years back, who was the CEO of a software company.
He use the query:
select * from table_name
In order to get the last ID!
The table_name was actually a view that took data from several tables, and the main table that he wanted to get the ID included several string columns, with lot of data!
he actually pulled all this data to the application, just to get the lat ID in a specific table!
It is our job as Consultants or DBAs to fix's his misunderstanding :-)
