Looking forward For Response.I don't know much about APEX specifically, but one suggestion that comes to mind is: "Use less exclamation marks"
Usually certification is a formality, you should only really get a trade certificate like oracle's certifications if you have already been doing the job for a number of years. There are exceptions to this but the general rule is you shouldn't have to spend too much time learning new things soley in order to achieve the trade certificate.
The best bet is find an employer who is willing to spend some money in training you up, giving you real-life experience and perhaps paying for some formal courses. If you want to move into something specific, choose a company that may offer that down the track and work hard.

Colfusion/Sql Error 22005

Hi, I have a stored procedure that is supposed to move data
from one table into another. the two tables are exactly the same,
and the stored procedure runs correctly when run from Sql. however
it won't run from the web. this is the Coldfusion code:
<cfset ServiceId = 2 >
<cfset RowsEffected = 0 >
<cfset startTime = Now() >
<cfset ResumeID = 0 >
<cfset Notify = 15 >


<cfstoredproc datasource="WebData1"
procedure="spArchiveResume2">
<cfprocparam dbvarname="RowsEffected" type="out"
variable="RowsEffected" cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer">
<cfprocparam dbvarname="NotifyDays" type="in"
variable="Notify" cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer">
</cfstoredproc>
this is the stored procedure:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[spArchiveResume2]
@RowsEffected integer output, @NotifyDays integer
AS
declare @today datetime;
declare @Days int;
set @today = Getdate();
set @Days = (365 + @NotifyDays);
insert into jobs_ArchivedTalent
select *
from Jobs_OpenTalent
where ((datediff(d,DateLastLoggedIn,getdate())>@Days)and
(Notified=1)and(datediff(d,DateNotified,getdate())>@NotifyDays))
set @RowsEffected = @@Rowcount;
does ayone have any ideas why this won't work? this is the

OT(ish): crossing over to T-SQL development

apologies for the off-topic, I've been into oracle development for a few years but am now looking at picking up some Sql server (development) skills.
I'd assume there's a few people on here who work with both, or have done through their careers.
So I was just wondering if anyone here has done this before, ie. spent years in Oracle then crossed over/picked up Sql Server. If so, have you got any...
- books/websites you'd recommend
- success / horror stories
- advice on common pitfalls / things to watch out for / things I should find familiar?
- etc?
thanks in advance.

Quite a few Microsoft MVPs have written books on SQL Server programming, T-SQL etc.
- Kathi Kellenberger's book "Beginning T-SQL 2008" starts with installation of SQL Server Express and the basics of T-SQL. It's for guys who have absolutely no idea of where to start.
- The Microsoft MSDN Library is very good, and should be an invaluable resource.
- The 3 books by Itzik Ben-Gan are good too, for his lucid writing style and good depth of topics.
- For the advanced, there is "SQL Server MVP Deep Dives" - an anthology of SQL Server topics written by 53 MVPs.
The last chapter of Kathi's book is titled "Where to go next" and it lists down the websites, the forums, blogs etc. that provide a wealth of information on T-SQL and Sql Server. Or you may google "sql server websites".
HTH,

Thought I should've mentioned Itzik's books:
(1) Microsoft SQL Server 2008 T-SQL Fundamentals (PRO-Developer)
(2) Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2008: T-SQL Querying
(3) Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2008: T-SQL Programming
You probably know the URL to MSDN, but anyway -

SQL Server Agent Permissions for backing up on network share

I'm new to managing SQL Server and I'm not too familiar on how to get this going. I'm trying to automate a T-SQL script that I got from here:(http://community.spiceworks.com/scripts/show/1511-back-up-all-databases-in-sql-instance-with-one-scr...).I have my SQL server agent enabled already but according to the notes in the script, I need to change my account that I have the SQL server agent to a network account.

I created a user account on the NAS already. I tried to run the Maintenance Wizard and do a backup that way but when I try to browse for the network share that's mounted, I don't see it. I know that the account that's running under the SQL server agent doesn't...

Logical Operations in SQL decode function ?

Hi,
Is it possible to do Logical Operations in SQL decode function
like
'>'

'>='
'<='
'<>'

in

eg...
select col1 ,order_by,decode ( col1 , > 10 , 0 , 1)
from tab;
select col1 ,order_by,decode ( col1 , <> 10 , 0 , 1)
from tab;
select col1 ,order_by,decode ( col1 , not in (10,11,12) , 0 , 1)

from tab;
select col1 ,order_by,case when col1 not in (10,11,12) then 0 else 1 end
from tab;As for testing for null, decode handles that by default anyway so you can have decode or case easily..

Unable to capture the parameter values from a PL/SQL procedure

hi.
i'm trying to capture the parameter values of a PL/SQL procedure by calling inside a anonymous block but i'm getting a "reference to uninitialized collection error" ORA-06531.

Hi Nandu,
As your description, you come across an error(vsjitdebugger.exe cannot be found). Please confirm if the error occurs during the installation of SQL Server 2012. If so, please help post SQL Server setup logs. By default, SQL Server setup log file locates
in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
Base on my research, this error could be caused by that the previous uninstallation is improper and vsjitdebugger.exe file could be mistakenly deleted.
To troubleshoot the issue, you could start your computer into Safe Mode and fix your problem with one of the following methods. For more information, please refer to the article:
http://www.fixerrorkit.com/fix-error/fix-vsjitdebugger.exe-error.html.
1. You could execute the sfc /scannow command following steps below.
a. Press "Windows+R", type in cmd and then right click "Run as administrator"
b. Type in sfc /scannow (There's a space between sfc and /scannow) into the dialog and hit Enter key and click ok.
c. Wait until the System File Checker finishes the check.
2. You could use a Windows repair installation, also known as a Startup Repair to repair your Windows system files.
3. You could install the latest Windows updates to fix vsjitdebugger.exe error. Microsoft often releases new service packs and system patches to replace or update some DLL files of Windows system.
4. You could use third-party tool such as Automatic Error Fix Tool to fix your vsjitdebugger.exe error. However, Microsoft cannot make any representations regarding the quality, safety, or suitability of any third-party software or information found there.
In addition, if you are unable to install Visual Studio, I suggest you post your question in Visual Studio Setup and Installation forum at
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=vssetup . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.

NoClassDefFoundError: com/sap/sql/log/OpenSQLException

I have developed a Java project. It consists of 2 SQLJ files and then a Java class. When I try to execute the Java program, I get a Java error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sap/sql/log/OpenSQLException
at com.mbb.crrs.business.report.dao.ReportDAO.<init>(ReportDAO.sqlj:23)
at com.mbb.crrs.business.report.dao.Test.main(Test.java:24)
Exception in thread "main"
I notice a similar problem on message: Re: Which jar to include com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException
Is that something that I need to maintain for it to work? Thank you.

Hi,
the problem one year ago was that the SQLException class was not available through remote access. I don't know if that might have been changed meanwhile in the latest release.
I implemented a simple work around: I caught every SQL-exception in the method where it was thrown, wrapped the exception message and any nested exception in a self written exception and threw this new exception. That worked fine.

If statement in sql

regarding the following sql:
SELECT a.lname, a.fname, a.user_id, c.address, c.city,
c.zip, c.addresstypeid, d.descriptor as state
FROM users a, address c, maintstatetype d
WHERE a.user_id = c.user_id(+)
AND c.statetypeid = d.statetypeid(+)
AND c.addresstypeid in (1,2,3,4)
I have a database of users and addresses. Each user can
have multiple addresses and the addresses are
designated by addresstypeid. In plain english, what I want
to pull is "If they have an addresstypeid of 1, pull that one
only, if not, check if they have a 2 and use that, if not, check
for a 3, etc..".
Any help with this?

What you want, then, is to pull the address with the minimum addresstypeid ..
SELECT a.lname, a.fname, a.user_id, c.address, c.city,
c.zip, c.addresstypeid, d.descriptor as state
FROM users a, address c, maintstatetype d

AND c.addresstypeid =
(select min(c2.addresstypeid)
from address c2
where c2.userid=a.userid
I'm not sure what this will do to your outerjoin, though. You might have to get funky with a union ...
SELECT a.lname, a.fname, a.user_id, c.address, c.city,
c.zip, c.addresstypeid, d.descriptor as state
FROM users a, address c, maintstatetype d

IF statement in SQL*Plus - how to do it

Hi,
In SQL*Plus script, I would like to keep conditional checking (IF statement) and proceed. For example, whatever is done in PL/SQL block below, want to do the same in SQL*Plus script, I know partly it can be done using VARIABLE keyword, conditional checking can be done using DECODE in SELECT statement, but I want to carry out a more complex requirement, hence I want to use IF statement somehow in SQL*Plus.
Another question, how to do spooling in PL/SQL script, it can be done using UTL_FILE, any other option is there to achieve this.
declare
v_ind_count int;
begin
select count(1) into v_ind_count from user_indexes where index_name = 'index_object_name';
IF v_ind_count > 0
THEN
dbms_output.put_line('index found');
ELSE
dbms_output.put_line('index does not exist');
END IF;
end;
/

Hello,
SQL*PLUS has no scripting language. It can only execute SQL and PL/SQL scripts. There are some commands like SPOOL or SET but no commands for conditional statements. You should describe your requirements, maybe we can find a way.
Or you can search the forum, maybe your question has already been answered
[Google for SQL*PLUS + condition|https://www.google.de/search?q=site%3Aforums.oracle.com+"SQL*PLUS"+condition]
# {message:id=4189517}
# {message:id=4105290}
how to do spooling in PL/SQL scriptFrom within PL/SQL you can use dbms_output, the spool has to be started by the calling SQL script when it is executed in SQL*PLUS. Or you can use utl_file, but then you can only write to a server directory, not into a client file. To give an advice we need more information about what you want to do.

Partner Application written in other language than PL/SQL and Java

I have an application written in another language than PL/SQL or Java. I want to integrate this application as an Partner apps where I use the same user repository as Portal.
Can I integrate the application by calling a stored PL/SQL-procedure based on the PLSQL SSO APIs examples that authenticates the user based on the username/password in portal and redirects the user to the application ?
Are there any examples / references where this has been done ?

NULL and dynamic SQL

If table testrh2 has the following columns and data
col1 --> NULL
col2 --> 2
and table testrh has the following columsn and data
col1 --> NULL
How could I write a dynamic SQL statement to join on the nulls? I've written the following block as a starting point.
declare
cursor c1 is select col1 from isis.testrh;
lval varchar2(1000);
lval2 varchar2(1000);
begin
for r1 in c1 loop
lval := 'select col2 from isis.testrh2 where col1 = '||r1.col1;
execute immediate lval into lval2;
dbms_output.put_line(lval2);
end loop;
end;

You can't compare null values with '=' in Oracle SQL.
Null can only be compared with <column> is null .
You can see it when you try these two queries:
select * from dual where null is null; -- you will see one row
select * from dual where null=null; -- you will see no rowsThat's why you have to write something like
(<column1>=<column1> or (<column1> is null and <column2> is null))This should also work with null:
decode(<column1>,<column2>,1,0)=1By the way, why do you use dynamic sql?
lval := 'select col2 from isis.testrh2 where col1 = '||r1.col1;
I think you could replace your two lines ( lval:= ... AND execute immediate) by this:
begin
select col2
into lval
from isis.testrh2
where decode(col1,r1.col1,1,0)=1;
dbms_output.put_line('lval='||lval);
exception
when no_data_found then
dbms_output.put_line('no data found'); -- or whatever you want
end;Edited by: hartmutm on 02.10.2010 23:54

How do I connect to SQL Server with Muse?

I want to query items from database and load it back to front end. Is there a way Muse can connect to sql server database?

You cannot connect to databases via Muse at the moment. Please refer: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5090145#5090145
