MYSQL 'Limit' equivalent function in Oracle8

Hi, i am currently trying to convert some mysql expressions/functions so that i am able to use them with an Oracle database. The function is 'Limits', for example:SELECT BI.title, BI.authors, BI.edition
FROM bookinfo BI, booksonsale BO,users U
WHERE BO.username = U.username
AND BI.isbn = BO.isbn
ORDER BY BI.title
LIMIT 5,20;
The limit basically lists only results from 5 to 20, i.e only 15 results are shown. How would i do this using Oracle SQL?

While not identical, you might get away with using the 'ROWNUM' psuedo column.

  • MySQL LIMIT clause equivalent in ORACLE statement

    Is there an Oracle SQL statement that would be equivalent to the MySQL LIMIT clause used to return only part of a result set?

    The preferred solution is to make use of the analytic function ROW_NUMBER. There is a description in the Oracle documentation. The final example shown returns only the fifty-first through one-hundredth row of the EMPLOYEES table:
    SELECT last_name FROM
       (SELECT last_name, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY last_name) R FROM employees)
       WHERE R BETWEEN 51 and 100;An alternative is to use:
        select *
          from ( select a.*, rownum rnum
                from ( YOUR_QUERY_GOES_HERE -- including the order by ) a
               where rownum <= MAX_ROWS )
         where rnum >= MIN_ROWS;which is discussed on asktom.oracle.com. This works from Oracle 8.1 onwards.

  • How to use a mysql built-in function with dataprovider

    hi.
    I want to use a mysql built-in function, for example, MD5() on a column when updating a table with dataprovider.
    Something like this doesn't work:
    MyDataProviderOne.setValue("tablename.field_name", "MD5('some text')");
    How should it be done?
    thanks.
    Mike.

    hi.
    thanks. this helped, but I'd like to use also different functions, that's why, I'd rather do it by MySQL built-in functions with dataprovider... Is there any way to do that?
    best regards.
    Mike.

  • @RELATIVE() equivalent function in Financial Reporting Studio?

    All,
    Is there an FR equivalent function to the @RELATIVE() function in Essbase?
    Specifically, I'm trying to select Level 0 descendants of a particular member.
    e.g. @RELATIVE(MEMBER,0) would be the equivalent function in Essbase.
    I've tried to use the RelativeMember function, but that does not appear to do the same thing.
    I also tried to union two selections, but that just returns an MDX error.
    e.g. assume I want to return child 2 and 3
    Dimension
    Parent A
    Child 1
    Parent B
    Child 2
    Child 3
    Lev0,Dimension NOT Descendant Parent A (this is not the actual syntax, but an explanation of what I tried). This returns an MDX error to do with "NOT".
    Any help is appreciated...

    That was extremely helpful. I was able to get it working with the following syntax
    Descendants of <Member> AND System-defined member list Lev0,<Dimension>
    Thanks again for your help.

  • What is the equivalent function of NIDAQYield in NI-DAQmx?

    I have to migrate from traditional NI-DAQ to NI-DAQmx for Window 7 64bits system.  I like to find the equivalent function of NIDAQYield in NI-DAQmx?

    As far as I can see here, NIDAQYield is simply a way to process system events, so I suppose calling ProcessSystemEvents () will be equivalent to calling it.I do not know of a native DAQmx function that does the same. It is to be said, though, that DAQmx way of handling acquisition process is different from Traditional DAQ one and direct translation is not always possible, so depending on how you migrate your code, calling those functions may be unnecessary.

  • Implement Limit PO functionality in extended classic

    Hello Geeks,
    I have an issue while trying to implement the Limit PO functionality in SRM 5.0  this extended classic scenarion, initially this functionality was supperessed using BADI, but now it was invoked.
    I could now successfully create Limit SHC and PO is generated in SRM, but while transferring of the PO to backend it gives me an error message.
    I have not done any addtional settings either in SAP R/3 or SRM to implement this new Limit PO funtionality. Just only I have activated thru the BADI which has been suppressed.
    But I get an error message when the PO is created and I can see the RZ20 error message as
    "Combination of GR/IR control not allowed for external services"
    However I have not mainatined the GR/IR in the vendor master record either in R/3 or SRM, but still I get the same message.
    Please suggest me how to avoid this error message and post successfully the PO in R/3
    Thanks
    Regards
    Srujan

    Hello Srujan,
    There can be several causes for this issue, but only analysing and debugging we could provide a solution.
    You have to create a test data for BAPI_PO_CREATE1 and analyse it in your ERP system.
    One recurring issue is the following: the structures POITEM and POITEMX may not be aligned regarding fields GR_NON_VAL and GR_BASEDIV.
    If POITEM contains values in any field then an 'X' should also be present in that corresponding field at POITEMX. If they are not aligned, this error can be raised. To fix it,  use the BADI BP_PO_INBOUND -> Method MAP_BEFORE_BAPI in R/3 side and set the "POITEMX" values to 'X' only when those flags
    are set to 'X'

  • Call mysql C API function

    Hi all,
           I just have one question, how can I use mysql C API function for my labview program? I program it use dll call, but I use command "show processlist;"in mysql database,can see this process yet.So ,anybody can help me to solve this?
          Thanks,
          also , anyone have example,show...I am very appreciate...

    Do you really want to use a C API to do that? 
    I don't see the need for a C API or a call to a DLL.  I find it more logical to connect to your MySQL DB Server and run "show processlist" as an SQL Statement.
    but if you insist on using a DLL, I am guessing this link will help you:  Using Existing C Code or a DLL in LabVIEW

  • Equivalent function for box3d which available in Postgis

    I have a road_network data I am trying to
    obtain all the values within a bounding box formed by lat long values,
    i tried below example but it compiled and produces some error 
    declare @exmp varchar;
    set @exmp = 'POLYGON(81.959545899804 25.243612186501,81.985879306176 25.2726072490010)'
    DECLARE @box geography = geography::STLineFromText(@exmp, 4326)
    SELECT source,target,geog4326.STAsText()
    FROM road_network
    WHERE geog4326.STIntersects(@box) = 1;
    in PostGIS theres a box3d, i like to know is there any equivalent function available in MS SQL Server ?

    a few problems here:
    1.
    run this- what do you see?
    declare @exmp varchar;
    set @exmp
    = 'POLYGON(81.959545899804 25.243612186501,81.985879306176 25.2726072490010)'
    print @exmp
    a varchar initialised without a size defaults to varchar(1)
    so set varchar to the required value or set it to varchar(max)
    2. A polygon requires at least 3 distinct points and the start and end points need to be the same. I'm assuming you just want to draw a line between the 1st & 3rd points of your bounding box and have the db engine draw the box around them. So you should
    be declaring it as a LINESTRING, not a polygon. Unfortunately geography doesn't have a .STEnvelope() function, so you'll need to convert the line to geometry, get the envelope, then convert back
    declare @exmp varchar(max);
    set @exmp = 'LINESTRING(81.959545899804 25.243612186501, 81.985879306176 25.2726072490010)'
    DECLARE @box geography = geography::STLineFromText(@exmp, 4326)
    -- Work out bounding box by converting to geometry via WKB, then using STEnvelope()
    DECLARE @boundingbox geometry = geometry::STGeomFromWKB(@box.STAsBinary(), @box.STSrid).STEnvelope();
    -- Convert result back to geography via WKB
    SET @box = geography::STGeomFromWKB(@boundingbox.STAsBinary(), @boundingbox.STSrid);
    (from
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/453d2fe8-bbe6-4047-90ce-556015c17e64/how-to-get-the-bounding-rectangle-of-a-geography)
    now you can intersect your @box.
    If this were geometry you could've just used .STFilter() on your linestring directly.. I'm not sure how .Filter() works with geography but investigate it as it'll be faster if your road_network table has correct spatial indexes.

  • DAQ Monitor Equivalent function in NIDAQmx

    Hello,
    What is the equivalent function of DAQ_Monitor() in the NIDAQmx.
    I want to read the ADCs into a buffer and perform DAQ_Monitor operation upon the buffer at regular interval.
    Any suggestions??
    regards,
    Dwivedi

    There isn't really a one-to-one mapping between Traditional Legacy VIs
    and NI-DAQmx VIs. So can you explain a little more what you are trying
    to accomplish? By "perform DAQ_Monitor()" do you mean reading (grabbing
    samples from) the buffer at regular interval or just seeing what is in
    the buffer? In the latter case, are you interested in just the number
    of samples or the actual samples?

  • Java Equivalent Function to Obfuscation DES3 Procedures

    I've read all of the notes and reports that I could find on both OTN and MetaLink, but I can't find a solution anywhere. Just hints, particularly in Note 232000.1 and Note 225214.1. I've been trying all of the variations that I can think of in test code with no success. I've also searched the net extensively.
    What I need is a code sample IN JAVA that provides equivalent functionality to the des3encrypt and des3decrypt procedures using raw values in the obfuscation toolkit.
    We have a number of huge databases in which we would like to use the obfuscation toolkit with DES3 3-key (192-bit) keys to manage encrypting
    confidential data. We need to be able to read this data from Java applications. Those applications must be able to decrypt the values encrypted using the toolkit. We must also be able to do the reverse, encrypt data in Java, store the encrypted values, the decrypt and access the data in PL/SQL using the toolkit.
    I've searched high and low, but I cannot find sample code anywhere for performing this functionality in an equivalent fashion.
    Thanks!

  • What is the equivalent function or combination of functions for the following ASYST code

    I'm translating a program from AYSYT (very old out-of-date language)to LABVIEW. Thanks to the help from you guys. I have done 99% of my work. But I still have a small question to ask for help. Dose any body know what function or combination of functions in LABVIEW is equivalent to the folowing ASYST code: 0.5 set cut off frequency MOB(array used in the program) smooth.
    After reading the ASYST MANUAL, I know "smooth" is to apply some kind window(e.g. BALCKMAN).but LABVIEW doesn't have the "smooth"function

    I got strange result after using balckman window.
    the xy-graphs of my data before and after using blackman
    window are posted here. the magnitude and the peaks all changed after using blackman window.the peaks magnitude decreased more than ten times. The original ASYST code gives only a little bit lower peak after smoothing(4.2e-6 is the highest peak before smoothing, while 3.6e-6 is the smoothed highest peak).

  • What is the equivalent function of this...

    the following codes are in awt form, what are the equivalent swt form of the following function? thank you for your help
    ActionListener listener = new MenuItemActionListener(panel);
    *MenuItemActionListener(panel); is the awt
    Component parent; (Component is the awt)
    and using Color.<what_color>
    Again thank you!

    if you're planning on coming here getting the forum to re-write all your awt code in swt bit by bit, forget it. as far as I know, there's only 2 or 3 people who post here that know swt, and nobody's in the business of rewriting code on other people's behalf anyway. the swt documentation that comes with eclipse, plus the javadocs for swt, are more than good enough for you to manage this

  • Using mySQL Password encryption function

    hi there,
    I am using mySQL's password encryption function to store passwords
    safely in a tabe. The problem is when I retreive the username and password, because the password in encrypted, it won't match the password entered in a JSP page. Is there any way I can decrypt it to its original form so I can do a equal match comparision.
    thanks
    mani

    For Eg. you can compare the following way...
    Here,
    userdb - table name
    pwd - Column in table (password encrypted field)
    'userpassword' - user entered value....
    theSql = "SELECT PASSWORD('userpassword'), pwd FROM userdb
    rs = statement.executeQuery(theSql);
    if (rs.next())
    String strPswdEnter=rs.getString(1);
    String strPswdData=rs.getString(2);
    if (strPswdEnter.equalsIgnoreCase(strPswdData))
    bPasswordCorrect=true;
