Need a data type

hi folks
i need to store numbers in this form: x,xx with two fields float precision, i need that because i need to compare float numbers to just two numbers after the come x,XX.
is there a data type for that
thx buddies

On the left side of the screen you will see the word Documentation and directly below that APIs. Click on APIs. Choose you java version (or 1.4.1 if you don't know) Scroll down to NumberFormat, click on it. Instant information.

Help needed in data type casting

I have a java program which will receive data and its type in the String format. During program execution, the data in the String data has to be converted into the respective data type and assigned to a variable of that data type so that it could be used in the program. Programmer may not know the type of data that the value has to be converted into.
I really got struck up with this. This is a RMI application and one process node is sending the data to another node in the String format and the type of data it should get converted into so that it can be converted into the respective type and used for computation.
Can you understand what I am asking for ....if you can pls help and it is highly appreciated

I dont know whether i ahve expressed it correctly
look at this code
dataPacket sendtoNode = send.senDatatoNode(inputReq);
String recnodnum = sendtoNode.nodeNum;
String recvarnum = sendtoNode.varNum;
String recvartype = sendtoNode.dataType;
String recvalvalue     = sendtoNode.dataVal;
int num;     int type;
double result;
// here in this case the result variable type is double
if (recvartype.equals("int")){
          type = 1;
     result = Integer.parseInt(recvalvalue); will pose problem
     else
     if (recvartype.equals("double")){
          type = 2;
          result = Double.parseDouble(recvalvalue);
     else
     if(recvartype.equals("float")){
          type =3;
          result = Float.parseFloat(recvalvalue); will pose problem
     else
     if(recvartype.equals("Boolean")){
          if ((recvalvalue.equals("true")) || (recvalvalue.equals("TRUE")))
          type = 4;
          result = Boolean.parseBoolean(recvalvalue); will pose problem
     else
     if(recvartype.equals("char")){
          type = 5;
          result = (char)recvalvalue; will pose problem
else
if(recvartype.equals("String")){
     type = 6;
          result = recvalvalue; will pose problem
     else
     if(recvartype.equals("byte")){
          type = 7;
          result = Byte.parseByte(recvalvalue); will pose problem
     else
     if(recvartype.equals("long")){
          type = 8;
          result = Long.parseLong(recvalvalue); will pose problem
     else
     if(recvartype.equals("short")){
          type = 9;
          result = Short.parseShort(recvalvalue); will pose problem
     //forvarval varvalue = new forvarval();
     //varvalue.forvarval(recvartype, recvalvalue);
// this has to be done after sorting the problem of type casting string result = recvalvalue;
//result = value; //<this will surely give me a problem as i m assigning string to double>??
send.host(result);
System.out.println("result received and the result is " +recvalvalue );
now i need to assign the converted string in to a variable and use in the compuation ..thts where the challenge n not in teh conversion process...

Best data type to represent a file size

Hi All!
I have to create a table which holds details abou the files which process on a system and maintain the file name process, size of the file in byts, full path location the file is stores etc.
My question is what would be the best data type for a file size, currently the system proceess 4 GB files but I do not know whether this will expand so I need a data type which will be compatible for any size ther will be no decimal points involved in this.
I hope my question is clear.
Thank you in advance.

How can i build my own varient data type?

I load dll from roper scientific ccd camera which need varient data type.The following is the example
region.s1=0;region.s2=511;region.p1=0;region.p2=511;region.sbin=1;region.pbin=1;
Please reply as soon as possible

Mark,
With LabVIEW, you can convert your data to a variant. These functions are located in Functions»Advanced»Data Manipulation»Variant. This will convert LabVIEW's data types to Visual Basic's Variant type.

Need to determine data type of free characteristic in multiprovider

Hi,
I need to determine the data type (e.g. numeric vs alpha numberic) of a free characteristic in a multiprovider. Can this be accomplished in BEx Query Designer?
If not, can it be accomplished in RSA1? How?
Thanks,

its not possible via Query designer..
give that object name if it is infoobject then you can get via RSD1

Need to convert long data type to varchar2

I need to convert a long datatype in an existing table to a
varchar2, in either another table or view. I have a 3rd party
application which needs to query the data in the long data type,
but it can "handle" the long.
What is the best way to do this? I tried to make a trigger, but
I must be missing something. Here is the trigger.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "PROD".SV_GET_RTG_COMNT

FOR EACH ROW
WHEN (OLD.rels_rtg_no = NEW.rels_rtg_no)
DECLARE
-- DECLARE VARIABLES
RTG_COMNT_VAR VARCHAR2(32);
RTG_COMNT_LONG LONG;
BEGIN
Select COMNT_TXT into RTG_COMNT_LONG
from rels_rtg_seq_comnt;
RTG_COMNT_VAR := 'TEXT' || substr(RTG_COMNT_LONG,1,32);
-- If INSERTING
Insert into SV_RTG_SEQ_COMNT (print_cd, comnt_no,
seq_no, rtg_no, comnt_txt) values
(:new.print_cd, :new.comnt_no, :new.seq_no, :new.rels_rtg_no,
rtg_comnt_var);
END;
I tried to use the substr command on the comnt_txt in view but
received an invalid datatype error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Need to make a copy/clone of a table which has sdo_geometry data type

Folks,
We are running Oracle 11gr1 on Suse Linux platform.
We have a requirement, where we need to make a copy of a table, in the same database but in a difference schema, the source table has about 130 millions rows and also has the sdo_getometry data type.
I tried materialized view, but MV does not support sdo_geometry data type.
According to one of my DBAs, doing it via data pump , will take few days, which is not acceptable.
Is there a way, we can make a copy of this table in the same db ?
Thanks
Ashish

Siva,
This is not for backup purpose.
Here is the background information on this requirement.
I need to have a static copy of a table, which has spatial column, sdo_geometry in it.
So we can run another application against this table, just read-only, since we need static data, data in the source table changes quite often.
One of my DBA suggested to have another instance/database, to keep the copy of the source table, I thought idea of having another database just to keep a copy of a table is an over kill.
That is why I had asked this question and you had provided a viable solution.
Then we need to refresh this table , with the data (changes) from the source table, maybe once in 2- 3 weeks.
I tried creating a Materialized view, but it does not support Spatial columns.
So now I am trying to figure out, the most efficient way to refresh the clone table from the source table.
Regards,
Ashish

Variant to data: Need info regarding type of data

Hello,
What I want to do is very basic. I will acquire the image using CCD camera. The
image is a raw data type: 2D array of type long (4 bytes per element) or integer (2 bytes per element). I can save the image even as .tiff file. Using Variant To Data, I am converting the image so that labview can handle it (I am not sure whether I really need this) before I write that data to some file and save it. I have to define data type for Variant To Data. I tried to define the data type. However, I am confused. Would anybody give me some suggestion?
Thanks a lot,
Dushyant

Hrm, you'll need to be more specific about your actual question in order for us to give you a good answer, but, without more information, I'd say you should just define the type as a 2-d array of either longs or words. (i.e. get an array constant, place a numeric constant inside of it, right click the numeric constant, and select Representation->Long or Representation->Word then wire the constant to the Type input of the Variant to Data).
If you're dealing with variants, I'd guess you are probably calling an ActiveX control or server to communicate with your camera?

Need Help with data type conversion

Hello People,
I am new to java, i need some help with data type conversion:
I have variable(string) storing IP Address
IPAddr="10.10.103.10"
I have to call a library function which passes IP Address and does something and returns me a value.
The problem I have is that external function call in this library excepts IP Address in form of a byte array.
Here is the syntax for the function I am calling through my program
int createDevice (byte[] ipAddress).
now my problem is I don't know how to convert the string IPAddr variable into a byte[] ipAddress to pass it through method.

Class InetAddress has a method
byte[] getAddress() You can create an instance using the static method getByName() providing the IP address string as argument.

Need to know data type which could take the result of - data TYPE RAW.

Hello,
I have the following Req:
I need to make a RFC call from one SAP system to SAP Banking Services system to retrieve Contract ID.
But the field contract id happens to be of TYPE RAW. (16 characters)
So my problem is - I need to know the data type could take the result (contract id) of that RFC call.
As the declration -> data: v_con_id Type RAW --> isn't a valid syntax.
Please help in this regard.
Thanks
Anoop

Hi
Check this link for RAW data type
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/9d/ab1b0f055b11d2806500c04fadbaa1/content.htm
As you have mentioned about the declration ->
data: v_con_id Type RAW --> isn't a valid syntax.
lets try another one assign a variable to RAW data TYPE and inturn assign v_con_id to that variable.
var_raw(16) type RAW,
v_con_id type var_raw(16).
I am though not sure just try out
Revert for clarification

Converting VARCHAR2 to a DATE type-then need month spelled out

I have a field that should be a DATE type, but is instead a VARCHAR2(8). The data in the VARCHAR2(8) field is displayed as what looks like a date -- EX: 09/18/09. I need to be able to convert the VARCHAR2(8) field so that it brings back the spelled out month plus the numeric day and year -- EX: September 18, 2009.
I've been able to successfully convert a DATE type to the needed format (September 18, 2009) using the following syntax line, but now need to convert the VARCHAR2(8):
to_char(jud_report_hear_off_v.incdate,'fmMonth dd, yyyy,') as INCDATE
Your help is appreciated!!!

So here is what worked. I added this syntax line to my COMMAND in Crystal Reports:
to_date(jud_report_hear_off_v.INCDATE, 'MM/DD/YYYY') as "INCDATE",
Once that line was added into the COMMAND, the new format type was now a DATE and no longer a STRING (VARCHAR2). I added INCDATE into my report and the date appeared as 09/19/2009, as it did before, but I could now select the INCDATE field via the Format Editor and see the option to select a desired Date and Time format. I could then change the format to the choice of spelling out the month (EX: September 19, 2009).
Hope this helps others! Whew!

Need help regarding the maximum limit for data type

Hi,
this is Sravan. for my application am inserting the bulk data in XML format into a column of Database table.
the sample inserted XML data will be in format... like
'<ACC count = "10">
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
</ACC>'
this data in XML can have more than 1000 accounts.
now, i need to take a Parameter value from XML node and write into a file. for this i have written a procedure by looping the Nodes from XML data and building Dynamic Query like..
if nvl(v_int, 0) > 0 then
v_sql := '';
     for v_count in 1..v_int
     loop
     if v_sql is null then
          v_sql := 'select extractvalue(empdetails, ''/ACC/Acc' || v_count ||'/@ac_no'')||extractvalue(empdetails, ''/ACC/Acc' || v_count
||'/@cn_nr'')||extractvalue(empdetails, ''/ACC/Acc' || v_count ||'/@eflag'') string from sample1';
     elsif v_sql is not null then
               v_sql := v_sql || ' union all select extractvalue(empdetails, ''/ACC/Acc' || v_count ||'/@ac_no'')||extractvalue(empdetails, ''/ACC/Acc' || v_count
||'/@cn_nr'')||extractvalue(empdetails, ''/ACC/Acc' || v_count ||'/@eflag'') string from sample1';
          end if;
     end loop;
end if;
i will get this variable "v_int" from <ACC count = "10"> ACC count Attribute, here 10 is the value for v_int variable but in real time the variable value can be more than 1000.
at the time of Building Dynamic Query I make using the Variable v_SQL which is of Data Type "Long",
this variable stores dynamic query which is build at the time of executing procedure but this v_sql Variable is throughing Exception that ....
"numeric or value error Character String Buffer is Too Small"... but Long Data type will store upto 2GB..
this variable cant able to hold much data which is dynamically build.
will you please help me to resolve this issue Or will u suggest me another method to pick the data from XML column.
thanks,
sravan.

i changed the code, now its working fine.

for dynamic query building i used another variable and assigned this variable value to actual query variable.Nice!

I want to add image in column is it possible then how to add image in data base what data type we need to give we required any casting please show me one example
jitendra

Hi again,
Several points that can help more:
1. If you are working with Dot.Net, then I highly recommend read the first link that you got! This is nice and simple coding. Another option is this link which is even better in my opinion:
http://www.dotnetgallery.com/kb/resource21-How-to-store-and-retrieve-images-from-SQL-server-database-using-aspnet.aspx
2. As i mention above both link use the column's type image. There are several other option of working with Files. In most of my applications architecture I find that it is better to use a column which let us use any type of file and not an image column.
In choosing the right column's type for your needs basically your fist question should be if if you want to store your data inside relational database environment or outside relational environment. It is a good idea to look for blogs on this issue. Next
if you chose to store your data inside then you need to chose the right column type according to your server version. I highly recommend to look for blogs on the differences between those column's types: IMAGE,

Need substitute for INT2 data type

Hi ,
Currently in my program..we have used a data type INT2.
The data type INT2 can hold only 5 characters at a time...with no commas in between and left Justified.
Now I got a problem that..the variable which is declard with INT2 was getting populated with more than 5 charaters.
So it gettin dump.
Now I need to change the data type of that variable.
I tried declaring with INT4..or Char...all these data types are nt left justified and also have commas in between.
Please suggest a data type..which can hold morethan 5 characters..left justified n no commas in between.
The problem..in declaring the variable as CHAR and manipulate it as required..is the variable which Im using in my program is called from a zstructure..
If I wanna modify it in the structure...then I need to change all the programs where the Zstructure is used..which I cant.
So request you to help me...is there any data type..which would replace INT2 with more than 5 characters in it and also no cammas in between and should be left justified.
Pls help.
Regards,
Priya

Pure numeric fields (not c, not n, not string, etc.) DO NOT contain punctuation and decimals are implied. The obvious replacement for INT2 is to simply declare type I. If I needed decimals, I would convert to (15) type p decimals n. However, your output process is what is adding the punctuation....it's absolutely not embedded in a numeric field. You should read available helps (ABAP) on different data types.
