Numeric value and scientific notation

Hi,
with Oracle 8 or 10, the query (via TOAD or my app : Delphi + BDE)
SELECT 0.0008 FROM DUAL returns 0.0008,
but the query
SELECT 0.00008 FROM DUAL returns 8E-5.
Is there a way to avoid this display in scientific notation, except changing all my queries ? Or to push the limit for this display one digit later ?
Maybe with an Oracle parameter ?
Thanks for your help !

  • Float Data Value and Scientific Notation

    Hello All,
    SQL Server converts some of the float value into scientific notation for example 0.00001 will be stored as
    1E-05.
    Is there any simple method\formula\threshold to precisely tell when some particular value will be converted to scientific notation?
    Also I think oracle store same value above i.e. 0.00001 as it is with float data type but not the case with SQL Server. Any reason for the same?
    Thanks in Advance.

    Thanks Erland.
    I got your point that internal storage as you mentioned will be 53 bit and 11 bit exponent of 2. However my question remains the same that is there any method\threshold from which we can say that after this numeric value stored data will be represented in
    scientific notation or any rule of thumb? For example
    drop
    table #t
    CREATE
    TABLE #T (T1
    FLOAT)
    INSERT
    INTO #T (T1)
    SELECT 0.000001

    Here you can see value < 0.0001 i.e. 0.00001 and 0.000001 both are in scientific notation. So which rule or formula drives this behavior that is what my question is. Sorry I am somewhat poor in mathematics fundamentals So if you can make it simple.
    Thanks Again.

  • Limiting entry in a JTextField to numeric value and "%" value

    Hi,
    I want to allow the user to enter numeric value and % value
    How can I limit the user to make such a entry in JTextField

    Use the code given below to make your textfield accept only numeric values. You can modify itto include % values too.
    textField.setDocument( new TextFieldVerifier() );     
    class TextFieldVerifier extends PlainDocument {
    public void insertString( int offset, String str, AttributeSet attSet ) throws BadLocationException {           
    boolean valid = false;          
    if ( str == null ) {
    return;
    String old = getText( 0, getLength() );
    /* insert the new string at the given offset, into the old string */     
    String newStr = old.substring( 0, offset ) + str + old.substring( offset );
    try {
    /* check if the new string is a valid integer */
    Integer.parseInt( newStr );               
    valid = true;
    } catch ( NumberFormatException ne ) {          
    /* invalid, if not an integer */

  • External table.How to load numbers (decimal and scientific notation format)

    Hi all, I need to load inside an external table records that contain 7 fields. The last field is called AMOUNT and it's represented in some records with the decimal format, in others records with the scientific notation format as, for example, below:
    CY001_STATU;2009;Jan;11220020GR;'03900;CYZ900;-9,99999999839929e-03
    CY001_STATU;2009;Jan;11200100;'60800;CYZ900;41380,77
    The External table's script is the following:
    CREATE TABLE HYP_DATA
    COUNTRY VARCHAR2(50 BYTE),
    YEAR VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
    PERIOD VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
    ACCOUNT VARCHAR2(50 BYTE),
    DEPT VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
    ACTIVITY_LOC VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
    AMOUNT VARCHAR2(50 BYTE)
    ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
    ( TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
    DEFAULT DIRECTORY HYP_DATA_DIR
    ACCESS PARAMETERS
    ( RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
    BADFILE 'HYP_BAD_DIR':'HYP_LOAD.bad'
    DISCARDFILE 'HYP_DISCARD_DIR':'HYP_LOAD.dsc'
    LOGFILE 'HYP_LOG_DIR':'HYP_LOAD.log'

    "AMOUNT" Char
    LOCATION (HYP_DATA_DIR:'Total.txt')
    REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED
    NOPARALLEL
    NOMONITORING;
    If, for the field AMOUNT I use the datatype VARCHAR (as above), the table is loaded but I have some records rejected, and all these records contain the last field AMOUNT with the scientific notation as:
    CY001_STATU;2009;Jan;11220020GR;'03900;CYZ900;-9,99999999839929e-03

    CY001_STATU;2009;Dec;11220020GR;'03900;CYZ900;-9,99999999839929e-03
    All the others records with a decimal AMOUNT are loaded correctly.
    So, my problem is that I NEED to load all the records (with the decimal and the scientific notation format) together (without records rejected), but I don't know which datatype I have to use for the AMOUNT field....
    Anybody has any idea ???
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    however my quation is... An external table will LOAD all data or none at all. How are you validating/concluding that...

  • Double and scientific notation

    Hi,
    I am using a Double to store data but when i output it the value
    is printed in scientific notation example, 2.3333E5..I want to print it as decimal without the 'E' notation, is there a way to format it or set the precision in Java???
    Many Thanks

    You can have a look at NumberFormat and also search this forum because it's a frequently asked question.

  • Calculator and Scientific Notation

    My Calculator App seems to randomly switch back to scientific notation instead of displaying results in regular x.xx format.
    I tried deleting the com.apple.calculator.plist file and then relaunching Calculator but that didn't work.
    Any other suggestions on how to get the calculator app back to displaying results in normal (non-scientific notation) mode?
    thanks

    Then, I'm at a loss. Mine only shows scientific notation when the value exceeds whatever's set as the number's max range. You might want to peruse Calculator's help files.

  • Decimal Format and Scientific Notation

    I am trying to print numbers in scientific notation using the Decimal Format class. What follows is a simple test program I wrote to find the bug. So far, I have not found a solution.
    import java.text.*;
    public class formatted {
    public static void main (String Arguments[]) {
    DecimalFormat form = new DecimalFormat("0.###E0");
         double numb = 123456.789;
         System.out.println("Nuber is: " +
    form.format(numb));
    The output of this program is... Nuber is: 123456E
    The output is the same if numb is an int, float, or double. If I format the number as "#####.0" or "#####.00" the output is correct. I think that I am following the rules for formatting a number in scientific notation as the process is outlined in the documentation (provided below).
    ***** From Decimal Format under Scientific Notation ***
    Numbers in scientific notation are expressed as the product of a mantissa and a power of ten, for
    example, 1234 can be expressed as 1.234 x 10^3. The mantissa is often in the range 1.0 <= x < 10.0,
    but it need not be. DecimalFormat can be instructed to format and parse scientific notation only via a
    pattern; there is currently no factory method that creates a scientific notation format. In a pattern,
    the exponent character immediately followed by one or more digit characters indicates scientific
    notation. Example: "0.###E0" formats the number 1234 as "1.234E3".
    Anyone understand how the short program is incorrectly written?
    Marc

    The problem is
    format = "0.###E0"
    input number = 123456.789
    output = 123456E (not scientific notation!)
    This is not scientific notation at all. There is no decimal point given and no value in the exponent.
    I understand entirely that by adding more #'es will provide more precision. The bug I have is the output is not printed in the scientific format; other formats work.

  • Creating a sound from an array of numeric values and playing it on speakers

    How do I create take a sound I have stored as an array (or could be an arraylist if needed) of numeric values (at the moment as doubles) whiten my program and output it to speakers? I am using blueJ.
    for example (0, 0.1, 0.4, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 0.8, 0.6, 0.3, 0.1, etc...) would be a very high frequency sin wave.
    Edited by: alan2here on Feb 6, 2008 11:28 AM

    I stumbled upon this thread with a question somewhat related:
    I've recorded a wave file from microphone. But what I would like is an array of numbers in the same way alan said. I'm also working on my own project involving signal processing (i'm trying to do speech recognition).
    I can't really find a nice way of getting that array of numbers. I've tried to find out how wave file stores it's data, and directly read from the File object, but i figured there should be an easier way...
    I used this code to read the sound:

    I use this statement, but gets a ORA-01722 error.
    What is wrong ?
    select to_number('1.1111111111111112E-6','9.9EEEE')
    from dual
    Preben

    Hi guys, I'm following this forum in order to reuse what you wrote, but I still have a problem with the scientific notation format...
    From SQL Plus If I run this query:
    select b.CONTRACT_NUMBER,b.id as cont_id from OKC_K_HEADERS_B b--, okc_k_lines_b v
    where b.contract_number = 'NR19Mini'
    I retrieve the following row:
    CONTRACT_NUMBER                       CONT_ID
    NR19Mini                           1.4733E+38where the CONT_ID datatype is NUMBER.
    Now I want to specify a condition using the CONT_ID field (for another use in the future), but if I use the following syntax
    select b.CONTRACT_NUMBER,b.id as cont_id from OKC_K_HEADERS_B b
    where b.contract_number = 'NR19Mini'
    and b.id = to_number('1.4733E+38','9.99999EEEE');
    I don't retrieve any rows (no rows selected)
    How can I modify the format number in order to see my row, and for example use it inside a join with another fied of the same type ?
    Thanks in advance

  • Numberformatter and scientific notation

    Hello all.  I'm having an issue with Numberformatter that I could use some assistance with.  It looks like this:
        <mx:NumberFormatter id="numberFormatter"
            precision="6"
            rounding="up"
            useThousandsSeparator="false"
            useNegativeSign="true"/>
    I'm applying it to a Number object that was created from a deserialized java BigDecimal.  In most cases, this is successful. So, 0.000024603877571 becomes 0.000025 and so on.
    However, in some cases, my Number is in scientific notation like "0E-15".  In this case, the NumberFormatter formats the number as -15.000000.  Not helpful.  Any ideas on what is going on and how I might could work around it?

    Thanks for the quick response, Michael.  I was about to simply change the sending of the numbers as a string when I decided to try one more thing.  If I use toFixed() on my number first (before the NumberFormatter.format() function) it seems to fix the issue.  So, for example, in my label function for a column of a datagrid that has Numbers that sometimes appear in scientific notation, I do something like this:
                public function myNumberLabelFunction(item:Object, column:DataGridColumn):String
                    var myNumber:Number = item.number;
                    var myNumberString:String = myNumber.toFixed(20);
                    return numberFormatter.format(myNumberString);
    That (toFixed) appears to not mess up the regular numbers as well as the ones that have E notation.  I don't know if anyone has any thoughts on the workaround.  It seems to work find since my formatter is ultimately rounding to a precison of 6.

  • Calculator.app Version 4.5.3 (99.2) and Scientific Notation

    I want to enter a number with scientific notation.
    2.71e1 doesn't return 27.1, but rather 0.999...
    It seems that Calculator.app is dividing by e.
    This is not a common operation.
    2.71E1 gives 27.1great! But ...
    2.71E-1 does not return 0.271 neither does
    2.71E(-1)
    I have yet to figure out how to use negative exponents in Scientific notation.
    This seems to be a bug in Calculator.app Version 4.5.3 (99.2)

    All my spaces were deleted.
    Take two.
    My input ======= Calculator
    2 ============ 2
    2. ============ 2.
    2.7 =========== 2.7
    2.7E ========== 2.7 E 0
    2.7E- ========== 2.7 (and the small - subscript indicating a negative number)
    2.7E-1 ========= 1 (and the small - subscript indicating a negative number)
    Now hitting enter === 1.7 (it appears to have subtracted 1 from 2.7)
    Do our version of Calculator match?
    Thanks for being interested.

  • Store an encrypted numeric value and make the unencrypted value visible to just some users in Apex

    I'm looking for a way to store an encypted numeric value in one field in a table (so that it appears encrypted even to a DBA) and to display the unencypted value in Apex forms and interactive reports for some users but not others.
    Any suggestions as to how I could achieve this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Martin

    Try these documents:
    Using Column Masking to Display Sensitive Columns as NULL Values
    Using VPD in an APEX Application
    Securing Stored Data Using Transparent Data Encryption
    The features you request are Database Features.
    You could use DBMS_CRYPTO for data encryption instead of TDE, but you will have to create a package for your insert,update, deletes along with a view that allows decryption based on v('APP_USER').
    Also, you won't be able to search on that column if you use DBMS_CRYPTO.

  • Iphone and Scientific Notation

    I have a problem with my new iphone's calculator. When I go to the scientific calculator it does not go into scientific notation mode. I could have sworn that when I was at the apple store a month ago that the same calculator on the floor that I checked out went into scientific notation when I rotated it.
    the tech on the help line did not even know what scientific notation was---am I missing something here? or does my iphone have a glitch? ( I have version 2.02 on it.)

    It still does when the full width of digits is exceeded, but in landscape mode that's a lot of digits!

  • Finding specified numeric values, and organizing pages as such.

    Hi,
    First and foremost I know nothing about java, I want to learn, however at the current time I am teaching myself VBA so a full dive into Java will have to wait.
    With that being said, I have carton labels that my company uses to place on cartons marking things such as shipping information, carton number, store number etc.
    When the customer sends us the carton labels they come in pdf format and are organized in order of book SKU number. We need them to be organized in order of store number, which has it's own box/field on the carton label. Now it doesn't matter if something along the lines of a script searches for a whole text match, then pulls those pages into an excel spreadsheet or another pdf, and goes one by one through the numbers.
    The carton labels are a single label per page, so that makes it easier, I just havne't a clue how to program something like that in javascript. I wouldn't mind learning the language myself and doing it, but I am currently occupied studying VBA (as stated above).
    I took a VB class in college, so I have had some exposure to programming. If someone could just lay it out for me about how I need to go about this, then I'm sure my friend google can help fill in the gapes. (the more detail when "laying it out" the better)
    If you need anymore information than I've given just say so, but I've spent about a week purusing forums here there and little java tutuorials (practically useless) to see if I could at least get some idea of the logical process to step through the problem.  So, I really need someone to come through for me .
    Thanks and Have a Nice Day,

    You need to pass your data in a variable which has a length of 10.
    data: v_char(10) type c.
    v_char = '1234'.
    Then pass v_char to the function module.  You will then get a value like '0000001234'.
