PL/SQL equivalent for networkdays function

Hi,
Is anyone aware of a PL/SQL equivalent for the Excel "networkdays" function, that returns the number of whole workdays between 2 dates?
Thanks!
Phil

To calculate the number of days between january 1st and today, use the following.
1* select trunc(sysdate) - trunc(to_date('01-jan-05')) from dual
SQL> /
TRUNC(SYSDATE)-TRUNC(TO_DATE('01-JAN-05'))

T-SQL Equivalent For Group_Concat() Function

Hello, I am looking for a way to do the MSSQL T-SQL equivalent of the MySQL aggregate function: group_concat().
We are running SQL 2005 Express. Is there a pure T-SQL way to do this, or if not, a way to create a new custom aggregate function?
EX:
SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(FIRST_NAME) AS STUDENT_LIST FROM STUDENTS GROUP BY TEACHER
OUTPUT:
JOSH,JOEY,MARK,LINDA,PAM,BILL,MIKE,JUSTIN

Can anyone help me with MS SQL equivalent code for below MySQL statement.
select group_concat
(Col1
order
by field(Col2,8,13,15,53,55,6,73,75,3,42,41,45,44))
as FinalColumn from TestTable
Any help is greatly appriciated... thanks in advance...

Marius
Looking at the logic you are trying to create it looks like you are looking for overlapping time periods.
Consider two date/time ranges:
Range 1 : T1 - T2
Range 2 : T3 - T4
Do they overlap?
1) No: T1 < T4 (TRUE) T2 > T3 (FALSE)
T1 --- T2
           T3 --- T4
2) Yes: T1 < T4 (TRUE) T2 > T3 (TRUE)
T1 ---------- T2
           T3 --- T4
3) Yes: T1 < T4 (TRUE) T2 > T3 (TRUE)
T1 -------------------- T2
           T3 --- T4
4) Yes: T1 < T4 (TRUE) T2 > T3 (TRUE)
               T1 ----- T2
           T3 --- T4
5) Yes: T1 < T4 (TRUE) T2 > T3 (TRUE)
           T1 --- T2
       T3 ------------ T4
5) No: T1 < T4 (FALSE) T2 > T3 (TRUE)
                T1 --- T2
       T3 --- T4Answer: Yes they overlap if:
T1 < T4 AND T2 > T3
So you can code the logic in your SQL as simply:
SELECT *
FROM tbl
WHERE range1_start < range2_end
AND    range_1_end > range2_startIf you go around implementing PL/SQL functions for simple logic that can be achieved in SQL alone then you cause context switching between the SQL and PL/SQL engines which degrades performance. Wherever possible stick to just SQL and only use PL/SQL if absolutely necessary.

SQL Query for all Function Name attached to Responsibility

I have a requiremnet where in the data needs to be fetched giving all details of User Name, Responsibility Name, Function_user_name at responsibility level.
For e.g when a user logs in ORacle application and gets in to a responsibility and uses short cut key (Cntrl + L), the application lists out all the form functions, i need those form funtion for all users at responsibility level.
follwoing is the SQL i developed but its not listing the form function when we use (cntrl + L).

Help for decode function

Hi all,
I want to use decode function in RTF template.
I know i can use if statement to deal with it ,but if the conditions are over 3, if statement is not good choice.
Here is the if condition statement
<?if:answer='Y'?>Yes<?end if?> <?if:answer='N'?>No<?end if?>
how can i translate this if statement to use decode function
I tried to use the statement as below, but it doesn't work.
<?xdofx:decode(:answer,Y,'YES',N,'NO')?>
using this statement i got empty in this field.
I appreciate any responds, thanks in advance.
appcat

Hi,
it should work,coz there is no xsl equivalent for this function that i have seen on blogs,
the syntax that i have got it from other xmlp blogs, sounds like you put correct syntax, try to give multiple conditions to check the result
<?xdofx:decode(’xxx’,’bbb’,’ccc’,’xxx’,
’ddd’)?>

Equivalent of to_date function in Ms SQL and using it in Evaluate function

Hi,
I am trying to find out a function in MS SQL which is equivalent to to_date function in oracle. Please find below the advanced filter i am trying to use in OBIEE.
Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)' as date ,SUBSTRING(TIMES.CALENDAR_MONTH_NAME FROM 1 FOR 3)||'-'||cast(TIMES.CALENDAR_YEAR as char(4)),'MON-YYYY')>=Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)' as date,'@{pv_mth}'||'@{pv_yr}','MON-YYYY') and Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)' as date ,SUBSTRING(TIMES.CALENDAR_MONTH_NAME FROM 1 FOR 3)||'-'||cast(TIMES.CALENDAR_YEAR as char(4)),'MON-YYYY') <=timestampadd(sql_tsi_month,4,Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)' as date,'@{pv_mth}'||'@{pv_yr}','MON-YYYY'))
The statement above works fines with oracle DB with to_date function. The same statement throws an error with MS SQL since to_date is not a built in function.
With MS SQL I tried with CAST, not sure how to pass parameters %1 and %2.
Please help me how to use Evaluate function and passing parameters along with to_date funtion in MS SQL.
Regards!
RR

Hi,
please refer to this thread for useful information on using to_char and to_date functions of oracle in MS SQL server:

Equivalent of ValueList function in SQL

Hi,
Is there an equivalent of valueList function in SQL? Here's
what I am trying to do:
Suppose I have the following table:
Name -- Color
John -- Green
John -- Red
Mike -- White
I want to do a query such that the colors are aggregated as a
list. So the result would be:
Name -- Color List
John -- Green, Red
Mike -- White
The only way I could think of doing this is to loop through
each name in the table and doing ValueList in each loop. Is there a
better way?
Thanks.
Min

> I want to do a query such that the colors are aggregated
as a list.
If it _must_ be done in sql, there are some database options.
Such as the one mentioned above. There are also some interesting
approaches using xml path and cross apply with MS SQL 2005. I do
not know about other databases.
http://databases.aspfaq.com/general/how-do-i-concatenate-strings-from-a-column-into-a-sing le-row.html
Bear in mind there are some performance implications with all
of the methods. For example, a udf would execute once for each
name. So the more records, the greater the impact.
Another possibility is to use cfoutput's group attribute to
create a list for each name. Assuming that is feasible ..

How to do IF in SQL:
1) CASE
2) DECODE
3) UNION, UNION ALL, MINUS, INTERSECT
4) AND + OR + ()
5) stored functions
6) ...
which is best just depends on the situation. For your example I would use decode in the select clause and some UNION ALL for the from/where clauses.

"DatePart" Equivalent for a calculated list column

Hello All,
I need to break out dates from a calendar field into separate columns of month and year. In SQL I would just use DatePart, but I can't find a similar function for SP 2010 calculated columns. Is there a DatePart equivalent for calculated columns using just
the web interface?
Also, does anyone know where is the list of functions for calculated columns?
Thanks in advance for the support.
Alcide

Hi Alcide,
you should be able to do something like =Year([Date column]) for your Year column and =Month([Date column])for your month column
here is a reference of calculated field functions from Microsoft.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb862071.aspx
Please let me know if this helps,

SQL Expression in decode function or case statement?

Can I put SQL expressions in decode function or case statement?
For example,
select le.profile, decode( select count(1) from profile_data where NAME= 'XXXX_AFTER' and object_id = le.profile, 0, 'N', 'Y')
from element le;
or
select le.profile, case WHEN ( select count(1) from profile_data where NAME= 'XXXX_AFTER' and object_id = le.profile) = 0 THEN 'N'
ELSE 'Y'
from element le;
None of the above work.
Can anyone tell me how to make it work?
Is there any workaround?
Thanks,
J

You simply needed and END to your CASE statement;
SQL> with profile_data as (
   select 'XXXX_AFTER' name, 1 object_id from dual),
     element as (
   select 1 profile from dual union all
   select 2 from dual)
select le.profile,
   case WHEN ( select count(1) from profile_data where NAME= 'XXXX_AFTER' and object_id = le.profile) = 0
   THEN 'N'
   ELSE 'Y'
   END new_col
from element le
   PROFILE N
         1 Y
         2 N
