Oracle - ANSI Standard

I would like to know which ANSI standard does ORACLE follow?

quoting wikipedia:
SQL became a standard of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1986, and of the International Organization for Standards (ISO) in 1987. Since then, the standard has been enhanced several times with added features. However, issues of SQL code portability between major RDBMS products still exist due to lack of full compliance with, or different interpretations of, the standard. Among the reasons mentioned are the large size and incomplete specification of the standard, as well as vendor lock-in.
I think you may be better off trying to write whatever it is you want to write and seeing if it works that way across databases.
the thing is (and this goes for all databases): some things are more efficient written in the proprietary extensions to SQL than in ANSI SQL. Take recursive with clauses vs the connect by clause etc.
edit:
The other thing to be wary of is the potential for differing functionality depending on how you write your queries. for example even though the database supports ANSI joins, I encountered a bug whereby the result_cache functionality doesn't work when you use ANSI join syntax:
result_cache on tables

ANSI Standard Query

HI Anyone can help me to have the correct ANSI Standard Query for the following
SELECT * FROM AFFILIATED_PERSON ap WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT 'x' FROM VB_HOUSEHOLD_MEMBERSHIP VBHM, VE_HOUSEHOLD_ORG_AFFIL VEHOAF
WHERE VEHOAF.family_household_id = vbhm.family_household_id
AND vehoaf.primary_type= 'ASGNLOCCAR'
AND vbhm.affiliated_person_id = ap.AFFILIATED_PERSON_ID )
AND EXISTS (
SELECT 'x' FROM VB_PERSON_ORG_ASSIGNMENT vbpoas, VB_PERSON_ORG_AFFILIATION vbpoaf
WHERE vbpoas.person_org_affil_id = vbpoaf.person_org_affil_id
AND vbpoaf.affiliated_person_id = ap.AFFILIATED_PERSON_ID)
ORDER BY ap.AFFILIATED_PERSON_ID
Thanks in advance

hey,
a. to me it seeems o.k.
b. trust no one :)
c. you can use: (from 10g sql reference)
FLAGGER
Syntax:
FLAGGER = { ENTRY | INTERMEDIATE | FULL | OFF }
The FLAGGER parameter specifies FIPS flagging, which causes an error message to be
generated when a SQL statement issued is an extension of ANSI SQL92. FLAGGER is a
session parameter only, not an initialization parameter.
In Oracle Database, there is currently no difference between entry, intermediate, or full
level flagging. After flagging is set in a session, a subsequent ALTER SESSION SET
FLAGGER statement will work, but generates the message, ORA-00097. This allows
FIPS flagging to be altered without disconnecting the session. OFF turns off flagging.
e.g.
SQL> select * from v$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Prod
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production

Oracle 11g Standard Edition + Locator Java API

We have Oracle 11g Standard which includes the Oracle Locator package, but not the Oracle Spatial.
I would like to use the Oracle® Spatial Java API in my java code, but am unsure of the licensing implications of this.
I require some form of java api in order to access the geomettry objects stored in the database. Oracle do not allow the download of the java files seperately. I was unable to find any reference to a 'Oracle Locator Java API'
Could someone let me know what exists in terms of Java API's, what i am entitled to use under the current licensing rules, and where I can download the necessary source/jar files?

Thanks for letting me know the location of the jar files, that will at least help me get things going.
I am still concerned about licensing issues, as your reply appears to contradict itself:
"There is no licensing issues if you just want to use Oracle Spatial Java API(sdoapi.jar) with your spatial data in the Oracle 11g Standard DB."
and
"You cannot use some oracle spatial features (PL/SQL packages and their java APIs) in the standard edition."
I could use some clarification on this. I'm currently assuming that you mean I can legitimately use the spatial java API with any features I have available within the 11g Standard DB (i.e Oracle Locator subset of the Oracle Spatial package), but that I can't take that for granted, especially considering how militant Oracle are being over licensing and patents these days.

What is limit of database size in oracle 10g standard edition/edition one

Hai All,
What is the limit of database size in oracle 10g standard edition and standard edition one.. I see the white paper of oracle says that the limitation is 500 GB. This limitation is correct.? if correct then what happened after the limit..?
Please help?
Shiju

What white paper would that be? I can't see any limit in the Oracle Database 10g Editions comparisons.

Upgrading from Oracle 10G standard edition to Oracle 10G enterprise edition

Hi
I want to upgrade from Oracle 10G standard edition to Oracle 10G enterprise edition. Is there any script provided by oracle which I can run on existing Oracle 10G standard edition to upgrade to enterprise edition after completing the licensing formalities or do I need to install Oracle 10g Enterprise edition from scratch and then migrate my data.
Ramanbir S

You will not need to perform any data migration to upgrade to EE. The diffetence between standard en enerprise editions are the features offered. When you upgrade you can use the same set of files you used to install standard edition and just add the enterprise edition features you want to use in the 'Custom' section of the Universal Installer.

ANSI Standard Join with Nested Table

Does anyone know how to (or whether you actually can) use ansi standard table joins with nested tables.
Non-ansi standard would look something like this
SELECT e.empno
FROM departments d, TABLE(d.employees) e
WHERE d.deptno = 10;
Where d.employees is a nested table.
But if I try ansi-standard I like such:
SELECT e.empno
FROM departments d
JOIN TABLE(d.employees) e
WHERE d.deptno = 10;
I get
ORA-00905: missing keyword
because I have nothing to join it on.
Your help is very much appreciated

Both replies worked fine.
I think I will go with the NATURAL JOIN as it seems the cleanest option.
Thanks Guru 2748

Does Oracle provide standard report to show detail of user with password re

Hi,
We are currently using Oracle HRMS R12.0.6. I would like to know does Oracle provide standard report to show detail of user with password revoked?
Appreciate advise.
Thanks and Regards,
Shiau Chin

Develop a package to do it if you need the password. Create the packages . Execute the SQL to determine the password. Make sure you replace the &USER_NAME with the USER NAME at the end..
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE JEG_HR_ENCRYPT
AS
FUNCTION decrypt (
KEY IN VARCHAR2
,VALUE IN VARCHAR2
RETURN VARCHAR2;
END JEG_HR_ENCRYPT;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY JEG_HR_ENCRYPT
AS
FUNCTION decrypt (
KEY IN VARCHAR2
,VALUE IN VARCHAR2
RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'oracle.apps.fnd.security.WebSessionManagerProc.decrypt(java.lang.String,java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
END JEG_HR_ENCRYPT;
/** Run Login Apps User on Toad/Oracle-- Will get apps password */
SELECT (SELECT get_pwd.decrypt (UPPER ((SELECT UPPER (fnd_profile.VALUE ('GUEST_USER_PWD'))
FROM DUAL)), usertable.encrypted_foundation_password)
FROM DUAL) AS apps_password
FROM fnd_user usertable
WHERE usertable.user_name LIKE UPPER ((SELECT SUBSTR (fnd_profile.VALUE ('GUEST_USER_PWD')
,1
, INSTR (fnd_profile.VALUE ('GUEST_USER_PWD'), '/')
- 1
FROM DUAL));
SELECT usertable.user_name,
(SELECT jeg_hr_encrypt.decrypt

FROM DUAL) AS apps_password
FROM fnd_user usertable
WHERE usertable.user_name LIKE

ANSI Standard decode to CASE

Hi all,
select
id
,one
,two
From
     (select id
     , one
     , two
     , Max(decode(TYPE, "ER", 3*4, 4*7)
     from
          (select id
          , sum(one) as one
          , sum(two) as two
          from t1
          group by id)
     group by id, one, two
     ) temp inner join t2....
The above query is just a sample structure to tell the problem that i am facing. It works fine, but i need to convert it to ANSI Standard.
Hence I need to convert the DECODE to CASE statement. but if i convert to CASE, i need to use any of the GROUP BY FUNCTIONS, but if i use the MAX of any group by functions, the result would be wrong...how to overcome it
Thanks

Hi,
Yes I did a silly mistake, the code I gave was for only the decode but when I converted it to case statement, there was a silly mistake, which i corrected.
Now i corrected it to
Select
     COL1
     , Col2
     , MAX(CASE WHEN Upper(TYPE) = 'YR' THEN Round(3.43*3, 2) END) AS CALC1
     , Max(CASE WHEN Upper(TYPE) = 'ZP' THEN Round(3.12*12, 2) END) AS CALC2
From
     Group by....
but now when i add a sum of the calc1 & calc2, I am not getting any results the column is blank. Is there anything that i missed
Select
     COL1
     , Col2
     , MAX(CASE WHEN Upper(TYPE) = 'YR' THEN Round(3.43*3, 2) END) AS CALC1
     , Max(CASE WHEN Upper(TYPE) = 'ZP' THEN Round(3.12*12, 2) END) AS CALC2
     , (MAX(CASE WHEN Upper(TYPE) = 'YR' THEN Round(3.43*3, 2) END
     + Max(CASE WHEN Upper(TYPE) = 'ZP' THEN Round(3.12*12, 2) END)) as SUM3
From
     Group by....
Thanks

Oracle 10g Standard One

I want to clear out some issue abt Oracle 10g Standard One and Partitioning. On the internet I have found that one of the Oracle Enterprise Edition Features not available in Oracle Standard Edition One is:
Oracle partitioning - For database over 100 gigabytes
Can someone confirm this? Does it actually mean that there is actually PARTITIONING in Oracle10g Standard One if the database is less than 100GB ?
thanks

I don't believe partitioning is available in the standard edition (or in Standard Edition One). The comment you refer to is likely explaining the sort of databases that might benefit from partitioning-- there aren't a lot of folks that would want to partition database tables if the database was only a few GB in size.
