Newbie Select * FROM table where IF Numeric else something else
I have a text on a web page. If one can enter an EMPLOYID ( like 55 ) or
lastname like 'SMITH'.
I tried using INSTR and Substr but no avail.
Select *
from Atable
WHERE
IF SUBSTR(myfield,1,1)="0" OR
IF SUBSTR(myfield,1,1)="1" OR
etc.
EMPID=to_number(myfield)
ELSE
Upper(Lastname) like Upper(myfield)
Suggestions?
TIA
Steve
Yes myfield could be either "55" OR it could be "SMITH"
Otherwise I would have to have 2 textboxes on the web page.
One for EmployeeID and one for lastname.
Thanks.
Steve

How do I do SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE KEY IN ({list})?
The title says it all really.
Is there a reasonable performant way to perform the query
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE KEY IN ({list})where {list} is String []?
I am currently creating a PreparedStatement with a for loop like this StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer ("SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE ID IN (");
for (int ii=0;ii<keys.length;ii++) {
sb.append (keys [ii]);
if (ii != keys.length-1) sb.append (",");
sb.append (")");but this means that the prepared statement is created each time I call my method and so I'm not sure that the optimizer will find it easy to cope with. Is there a construction that I'm missing along the lines of SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE KEY = ? where I can create the PreparedStatement once and just call setObject or something on it when the values in {list} change?but this means that the prepared statement is created
each time I call my method and so I'm not sure that
the optimizer will find it easy to cope with.You are right, the optimizer won't find that easy to deal with (presuming that is even relevant for your driver/database.) But most optimizers won't do anything with statements that change and that is what you are doing.
You could create several prepared statements which have a common number of bind variables. For example 10 statements with from 1 to 10 bind values. This will work if most of the queries use those. -

Can I simulate SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE ROW IN (1111,2222) using SQLJ
I have a fct like
public void fct(String inStr) {
String str = "SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE ROW IN" + inStr;
// then I xecute the query using JDBC connection
But I want to do the same thisn using SQLJ like:
public void fct(String inStr) {
#sql [nctx] iter = { SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE ROW IN :inStr}
When I run the second version and give a parameter like "(1111,2222)" it gives
ORA-01722: invalid number error.
Is there a way to give parameters to in clauses of SQLJ statements.
Thanks in regard.This is a SQLJ FAQ. You can find the FAQ at:
http://technet.oracle.com/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/faq.html
Your question is addressed in the following section:
http://technet.oracle.com/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/faq.html#variablesizevaluelist
Note that that section has a typo. The lines:
? // populate mynumbers
#sql { SELECT * FROM tab WHERE col in (:(a[0]),:(a[1]),?};
should read:
... // populate mynumbers
#sql { SELECT * FROM tab WHERE col in (:(a[0]),:(a[1]),...};
By the way, with the next release SQLJ will support pasting in of dynamic SQL fragments. Then you'll be able to do pretty much what you are trying to accomplish here (albeit with slightly different syntax). Until then you'd have to use the workarounds from the FAQ. -
Reason behind this query ,SELECT * FROM table WHERE 1 0
HEllo,
I would like to know the reason behind using this query ,
SELECT * FROM <table> WHERE 1 < 0
before executing the actual SQL query.
Is there any special reason or the JDBC receiver side is configured like that.
Is there any option to overcome this process like, can we remove this option or stop using this.
Why the JDBC adapter basically sending this query on the DB?
Thanks,
Soorya,Hi,
if you run this query, you wont be able to see any records of the table.
SELECT * FROM <table> WHERE 1 < 0
if you run this query you will see all records
SELECT * FROM <table> WHERE 0 < 1
same with SELECT * FROM <table> WHERE 1=1
So you can check this out that whats happening in your code before executing actual query. just try to co-relate.

Select * from table where rownum 5; no rows returned? why is it so?
select from table where rownum > 5;*
no rows returned. why is it so?
can anyone explain me?Hi,
rownum is pseudo column, and it is based on the sort order.
For ex, if you want to get the first 5 employees who get the least salary, you use,
select ename,sal from
(select ename, sal
from emp
order by sal )
where rownum<=5
ENAME SAL
SMITH 800
ALLEN1 890
JAMES 951
TURNER 998
ADAMS 1100Suppose, if you want to use highest salary, you change the order by and not the rownum. So, it becomes,
select ename,sal from
(select ename, sal
from emp
order by sal desc)
where rownum<=5
ENAME SAL
KING1 5000
FORD 3000
SCOTT 3000
JONES 2975
BLAKE 2850 So, its not the rownum you would want to change, but the order by.

Select from table where last character in string is numeric
Hello,
I have a table STREETS with a field called ADDRESS. I would like to select all records from streets where the last character in Address is a number.
Select ADDRESS from STREETS where regexp_like(substr(address, ?,?,), '[0-9]');
--? means that I don't know what to put in here!
I'm not sure if substr is the best approach for this, since i only want the last character and the records are of varying lengths.
Thanks!Hi,
If you want to use regular expressions:
WHERE REGEXP_LIKE ( address
, '[0-9]$'
)You can get the same results, probably more efficiently, without regular expressions:
WHERE INSTR ( '0123456789'
, SUBSTR (address, -1)
) > 0 -
SELECT * FROM table WHERE id NOT IN? Help with statement.
Hi,
Two tables. Orders (orderID = PK) and Paid Orders (orderID =
FK)
I want to display a recordset of orders from the Orders table
where the
order ID doesn't appear in the Paid Orders table.
I have tried something like this:
SELECT *
FROM dbo.tblOrders
WHERE orderID NOT IN ( SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT
tblPaidOrders.orderID FROM
dbo.tblPaidOrders )
...no joy with that though. Would appreciate some guidance.
Thank you.
Regards
Nath.Hi Nancy,
Before I begin that, can I ask if there is an issue with the
OR?
I need it to be:
(orderID IN (SELECT qryPaidOrders.orderID FROM qryPaidOrders)
ORDER BY
orderdate ASC) AND ((customerid = MMColParam1) OR (vanopID =
MMColParam2))
MMColParam1 is exactly the same as MMColParam but, for some
reason
unbeknowns to me, DW8.0.2 won't allow me to use it twice.
That's neither
here nor there though, as creating a 2nd variable
(MMColParam2) solves that
particular issue.
Do I need additional ( ) anywhere considering it is an OR
though?
Thanks.
nath.

Select * from TABLE where Filed like pa_input.
Hello,
the following works fine
select * from ZTABLE INTO wa_myarea WHERE myfield LIKE 'a%'.
Now I don't want to hard code the selection criteria for myfield, but let the user select one, so I did:
parameters pa_input type mytype.
select * from ZTABLE INTO wa_myarea WHERE myfield LIKE pa_input.
If the user enters now for example a% everything works again fine. But I assume that a user rather would enter a* for a wild card search and that doesn't work. Do I have to manually replace all * in my variable with % before I run the select statement? I hope not... What would be the best way?
Thanks.Moderator message - Please do not ask basic questions - thread locked

Select from table where field contains the first 3 character
The value of the field contains leading zeros like 0000000123, 0000001123, 0000011123.
Now we need to check the table for entries that contains the first three characters excluding the zeros.
If we are looking for '123' then we should be retrieving 0000000123 and not 0000001123 or 0000011123.
Is there a way to get that value in SQL statement with only the exact result?
Thanks.P156550 wrote:>
> We've tried to use LIKE in our SQL statements and filtered it but there are a bunch of data and we want to get the exact row to improve the performance.
Hello Adjhan,
Yes, you need not use LIKE.
You can use CONVERSION EXIT. I see that the length of your data is CHAR10.
So try to use the code i have suggested & revert back if any doubts.
@Soumyaprakash:
If read the original post carefully, the OP has said:
If we are looking for '123' then we should be retrieving 0000000123 and not 0000001123 or 0000011123.
So LIKE does not come into the picture.
Good Luck,

Hi Jagan, all;
Thanks for the reply. It works. Now Im grouping again my reports based on status.
my records would be.
FstCol NsndCol Status
1 One Inactive 2 One Active 3 One Active
My first group would be Status , then by NsndCol
However my report shows Active FstCol NsndCol 3 One Inactive 1 One
but I want only record number 3 having 3 as the max id for One, I just want to ignore about the Status but I need to group my records based on status also
FstCol NsndCol 3 One

CREATE TABLE A AS SELECT * FROM B WHERE 1 = 2'-Queries
Guys,
I request your guidance in the effect of Create table statement below:
CREATE TABLE A AS SELECT * FROM B WHERE 1 = 2';
Question:
1)What would be the PCTFREE value for table A-Would it inherit PCTFREE from table B?
2) Will table A be created with LOGGING or NO LOGGING?-Will it iinhert the same from table B?
3) What would be the degree of parallelism of table A?-Will it inherit the DOP from B?
Thank you very much for your guidance in advance..
Regards,
Bhagat1 => it will inherit from the default value
2 => same thing
3 => same thing
