Query form requires Logical operators and/or Quotes

In ORACLE 9I Jdeveloper beta I used the BC4J JSP wizard to create a - Query Form. The query form looks nice and runs except I have to also include the logical operators (= > <) and Quotes. For example to query on the name Joe I have to enter it as ="JOE". If I use JOE it gives me a JSP error. The error message shows the generated Select statment with the where clause JOE but is missing the "=" and quotes.
How do I hard code the "=" and quotes around strings so that the user doesn't have to?

Hi,
welcome to the forum.
Please read SQL and PL/SQL FAQ
Additionally when you put some code please enclose it between two lines starting with {noformat}{noformat}
i.e.:
{noformat}{noformat}
SELECT ...
{noformat}{noformat}
Regarding your query the problem is the case of literal 'salesman':select ename from emp where mgr=7902 or sal=1600 and job='SALESMAN';

Spatial query w/ logical operators in a subquery on Linux using Oracle 1

Hello...
I'm being given XML that I need to parse and create SQL from it. Below my signature is the SQL that I generate (its a simple example) and can be more elaborate due to the logical operators (AND and OR) given in the XML.
The problem that we're seeing is performance-based: when one of the logical operator queries is Spatial-based, like below. Running it in JDBC, the query never returns.
The spatial query just by itself returns ~300 rows (takes approximately 0.2 seconds). The "PERCENTAGE" query by itself returns about ~40000 rows (takes approximately ~.8 seconds).
If we run the query below with 2 non-spatial subqueries, the result returns and performance is very acceptable (~ 0.9 seconds)-- the result set is about 80000 rows.
Thanks,
Jim
=========================
SELECT
COLUMN_WE_WANT , RESULTS
FROM
TABLE_A

COLUMN_WE_WANT IN
SELECT

Its difficult to comment without seeing the execution plan. You should trace this query to get a better idea of exactly what's happening.
Depending on the complexity of the logical operators, I would look at doing this using set operations. So for an OR you might have...
SELECT COLUMN_WE_WANT, RESULTS
FROM TABLE_A
WHERE COLUMN_WE_WANT IN (
 SELECT COLUMN_WE_WANT
 FROM TABLE_A
 WHERE SDO_OVERLAPBDYINTERSECT(TABLE_A.MY_SPATIAL_COLUMN,SDO_GEOMETRY(2003,4326,
 NULL, SDO_elem_info_array( 1 , 3 , 1 ),
 SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY( lng_1,lat_1 , lng_2,lat_2 , lng_3,lat_3 , lng_4,lat_4 , lng_1,lat_1 ) )) = 'TRUE'
UNION
 SELECT COLUMN_WE_WANT
 FROM TABLE_B
 WHERE SOME_PERCENTAGE_RATE_COLUMN < 90)For an AND, you would use INTERSECT.

Logical operators in Oracle select query

Hello all,
Can i use logical operators in oracle select queries?
for 1 and 0 =0 ; 1 or 0 =0
if i have two fileds in a table COL1 have a value of 1010 and COL2 have a value of 0001.
Is there any way to use select col1 or col2 from table? where or is a logical operator?

Hello all,
Can i use logical operators in oracle select queries?Sure; Oracle has the logical operators AND, NOT and OR. All the comparison operators, including >, >=, = !=, EXISTS, IN, IS NULL, LIKE and REGEXP_LIKE are really logical operators, since they return logical values. You can use them in SELECT statements, and other places, too.
for 1 and 0 =0 ; 1 or 0 =0
if i have two fileds in a table COL1 have a value of 1010 and COL2 have a value of 0001.It's unclear what you want. Maybe you'd be interested in the BITAND function:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/functions014.htm#sthref1080
BITAND is the only logical function that I know of. Many other functions, especially numberical fucntions such as MOD, have applications in logic.
Is there any way to use select col1 or col2 from table? where or is a logical operator?Whenever you have a question, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.

Search format with logical operators in TREX

We've activated the index for business object BUS1001006 for material master on SES_ADMIN. The index was created successfully and the two new search help was activated as well. Now testing it in development, I'm trying to figure out how you include logical operators (AND, OR, etc...) inside your search term.
For example I want to search materials that has ADAPTOR or AMPLIFIER. If I specify exactly "ADAPTOR or AMPLIFIER" (without the quotes) it does not return any search results.
I'm trying this both on the two new search help and on program COM_SE_SEARCH_IIF_TEST.
Can you let me know how to do this please ?
Thanks in advance.

You have to distinguish between attribute search and full text search:
In attribute search you can use logical operators by using the generic Select Options just like in any other search help.
In full text search all entered search words are interpreted with AND conditions.
If you just press the generic F1 for help on the field "Full Text Search" you will receive the complete standard documentation.
OR conditions in full text search are not supported because of the restrictions of the generic F4 UI.
If you want to support OR conditions you should consider installing the SAP product NetWeaver Enterprise Search. The full text search in it's generic search UI contains a query parser that supports the following (and more) features:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwes72/helpdata/en/d0/297dfa25a24a57a31e8364ee2ad7eb/frameset.htm]
Instead of contructing OR conditions it's sometimes much more convenient to browse with NetWeaver Enterprise Search through the distinct value lists of attributes: Read "Narrowing Down Results" in:

Logical operators -- convert OR to ||

Is there anyway to build an if statement from words such as AND,OR?
I have expression language in xml and I'd like to somehow convert that to a java representation.
The only way I can think of is auto generating source, compiling, then running. But that's not something I really want to get into.
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas other than generating source.
I just thought if I can change the xml to have something like if("myval".equals("test")) or "myval".equals("test1")) and then I can just do the conversion to logical operators and return a boolean if the statement is true or false.

Logical operators using "AND" and "OR" operators

I currently have written code which has two for loops to search a user query. I am able to search user queries entered for a simple and composed query. Eg. Simple query can be "Hello" and composed query can be "Hello World".
What i would like to do now is be able to use logical operators such as "AND", "OR" when searching e.g. "Hello AND World" or "Hello OR World" Once this is done i would like to score the highest point depending on where the query is found.
Could someone please help me with either giving me some tips of going about this or some starting code and hints. I have attached some code below which explains what i am currently doing to do the simple query.
private void SearchButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
/* Gets the simple query enterted into the text field. It then looks at the strippedFile in memmory */
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
// long elapsed = System.currentTimeMillis() - start;
String userQuery = SearchTextField.getText();
StringTokenizer userQ = new StringTokenizer(userQuery);
String[] brokenStrings = new String[userQ.countTokens()];
int counter2 = 0;
while (userQ.hasMoreTokens()) {
String moreStrings = userQ.nextToken();
brokenStrings[counter2] = moreStrings;
counter2++;
int Simplematches = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < strippedFile.length; i++) {
String LongCurrentLine = strippedFile;
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(LongCurrentLine);
String[] currentline = new String[st.countTokens()];
int counter = 0;
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
String moreStrings1 = st.nextToken();
currentline[counter] = moreStrings1;
counter++;
highlighter.highlight(HTMLOutputTextArea, userQuery);
for (int j = 0; j < brokenStrings.length; j++) {
for (int k = 0; k < currentline.length; k++) {
if (brokenStrings[j].equalsIgnoreCase(currentline[k])) {
long elapsed = System.currentTimeMillis() - start;
Simplematches++;
String output = "\"" + currentline[k] + "\" was found on line " + (i + 1) + "." + " At postion " + (k + 1) + " and took " + elapsed + " milliseconds." + " Found " + Simplematches + " matches" + "\n";
//String output = "\"" + currentline[k] + "\" was found on line " + (i + 1)+ "." + " At postion " + (k + 1) + " Found "+ Simplematches+ " matches"+ "\n";

First you need to specifically define the syntax. For example what does the following mean?
a OR b AND c OR d
Once you do that then you parse the input to create an expression tree. Then you write an interpreter to run the expression tree.Is there any chance you could give me a starter code or soe sources i could look at. I really dont understand how to go about doing what you have mentioned. As in i have declared the syntax at the moment and i am then using the replaceAll() and calling in what i have declared. with empty strings.
Is this what you mean?Hard to say since I don't understand your statement.
There are three parts
1. Parse the expression.
2. Interpret the expression
3. Do the "search", this is actually part of 2 however it should be possible to implement some or all of it separate from 1 and 2.
Do NOT mix the three parts until you are ready to mix them.
Your posted code is mixing them.
Presumably what you posted is mostly search. So to start re-write JUST the search code as a class.
However you can't really do that until you define what the expressions do.After doing everything you mentioned do you think it would be hard to get a score on the best match search found?
If not could you also give me some tips towards that if you know any.

A forms developer could make those fields required with a CUSTOM.pll extension if you didn't want to use forms personalization. Both are considered customizations to standard functionality and may or may not require rework after patching or upgrades.

Single and double quotes entered in form field cause corruption?

I am creating a database change request system using in APEX 2.2 and the main form has a description field (clob) and a API_description field (varchar2(4000)) that are text area fields on the page. The form seems to have trouble when the string data entered into the text area page items on the form contain single and double quotes.
 
I have pasted my test data below in this problem description(this is not true sql but it gets the point accross). I use the wizard created insert process to get the data into the db from the text fields in the wizard generated form, then use the wizard created fetch process to get the data back out and rendered on the same form. When I use the test data below, sometimes a few characters dissappear from my input data on the way out, sometime form fields go away, and their html is interspersed with the previous form field's data on the page. And I get different results on different tests with the same data.
 
Do I have to do something special for a vanilla htmldb text page item on a form to be able to receive single and double quotes in the string input in order to avoid that string data confusing the processing on the way in to the Database or on the way out for rendering?
 
Do I have to escape the characters? How do I do this?
 
The "varchar2(1) := ‘A’" part of the below TEST DATA string seem to cause the most trouble. The behavior is erratic - sometimes the pattern works, sometimes html is interspersed in one place, sometimes another (on the way back out)
 
START TEST DATA:
Add column pcl3_data_ind varchar2(1) to edc_tran,edc_log, edc_recreate_tran table
Or
Create a file with following sql in it
Insert into sometable values(‘A’,sysdate);
Or
create new table as follows
create table “someschema”.“sometable”
(id number not null,
Name varchar2(20) not null,
Join_date sysdate
Active varchar2(1) := ‘A’
END TEST DATA:
 
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Here is an example of the test data being displayed after being fetched back out of oracle (this will look like gibberish when rendered in the forum system (end of problem description except for example):
 
env
Add column pcl3_data_ind varchar2(1) to edc_tran,edc_log, edc_recreate_tran table
Or
Create a file with following sql in it
Insert into sometable values(‘A’,sysdate);

Link to query Form and auto-execute

What is the secret after creating a link from a report for example, to not only pass the link parameter to a query form, but to cause the form to execute the query.
Currently my query form shows the passed parameter but doesn't auto-execute..

This is exactly the same question I have and there are lots of similar questions in this forum. None of them have replies. Is this question still unanswerable?

I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder. This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher". I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.

I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder. This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher". I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.
I even pulled the dmg file into the Logic Studio folder in my applications directory and it still does not recognize it. What do I do now?

Niel: Thanks.
For others benefit, here is what happened.
I had installed Logic Studio 9.1 some time ago.......not knowing what all the programs were nor what they did, I created a "Logic Studio" subfolder in my applications folder and put all Logic Studio programs into it so I'd know where they were and could review each at my leisure over time.
My assumption now is that when the updater looks for the Logic Pro program, it looks only in the applications folder. It seems lame that it would not also look in the subfolders of the applications folder, but that apparently IS the way it works. Because my Logic Pro program was located in the "Logic Studio" subfolder, the updater just didn't see it..hence the error message I received when I tried to update.
Solution: I moved all the Logic Studio programs out of the subfolder and now they reside in the applications folder. Ran the 9.1.5 updater and it worked like a charm.

Query from the data abse and pass values to a pdf form

query from the data abse and pass values to a pdf form
Hello
Hello i have this html report that i have written to output a
report.
now, i am assigned to pass the same fields to a pdf form so
the fields in the adaobe form can be populated or the term
Pre-populate the form.
can anyone help me get started.
first i would like to know if it can be done.
second, what do i need to get started (tools )
third how do i do this.
i am really lost at this point.
can anyone give me tips in how to approach this
subject??

It can be one using Adobe Acrobat Designer which is packaged
with Acrobat
Professional Pro 7. It uses all XML to create and populate
forms.
If you had the time, you can also create <cfdocument
type="pdf"> to have
them ready and just pass the info to it so it autogenerates
the PDF on the
fly.

How to reduce logical count and scan count for a select query

hi,
I have two tables one is master and other is history. i need to combine this two tables into one temporary table.
I am using the below query to create temp table.
Select * into temporders
from
(select * from orders
union
select * from ordershistory) b
where updateon= (select max(updateon)from (select updateon,name,units,subunits from orders
union
select updateon,name,units,subunits from ordershistory) a
where updateon <='11/08/2008 11:18 AM' and a.name=b.name and a.units=b.units and a.subunits=b.subunits group by name,units,subunits)
order by report,subunitsorder
the statistics for this query:
SQL Server parse and compile time:
CPU time = 47 ms, elapsed time = 62 ms.
Table 'Worktable'. Scan count 556, logical reads 1569, physical reads 0, read-ahead reads 0, lob logical reads 0, lob physical reads 0, lob read-ahead reads 0.
Table 'ORDERSHISTORY'. Scan count 116, logical reads 339, physical reads 0, read-ahead reads 0, lob logical reads 0, lob physical reads 0, lob read-ahead reads 0.
Table 'ORDERS'. Scan count 116, logical reads 285, physical reads 0, read-ahead reads 0, lob logical reads 0, lob physical reads 0, lob read-ahead reads 0.
SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 32 ms, elapsed time = 63 ms.
(115 row(s) affected)
you see logical reads and scan count for worktable(temporary) is quite high.
So anyone can give a solution for reduce the scan count and logical reads.
NOTE: name,units, subunits,updateon columns have primarykey

Could query form and result table display at seperate pages

we are new at html db, there are a few of questions we need to clear before we make decision to use HTML DB to develop our next version of application: (I seperate them at differenct topics).
* Could query form and query result table display at differenct pages?
Thanks
Lei

yeah, this is surely possible...and quite easy. you'd just set your form page up as you'd like. put a button on that page with a branch to your report page. then have your report query refer to the items you defined on the form page. so if your form page had an item called P1_JOB and P1_DEPTNO you could have your report use those items with a query like...
select ename, job, sal, empno, deptno
from emp
where :P1_JOB = job
and :P1_DEPTNO = deptno
...hope this helps,
