Quote q' and column alias'

Hi, I know I can do the following...
select q'[The job Id for the ]'||job_title||q'['s is ]'||job_id "q[]" from jobs;
but if I attempt to add an alias it fails with ora-00923 From keyword...
select q'[The job Id for the ]'||job_title||q'['s is ]'||job_id "q[]" as "Job Description" from jobs;
Is this possible or not?
Thanks.
James.

Hi,

Hi the q'[ is to define a different quoting character to allow imbedded quotes rather then using two single quotes.
So rather than 'President''s' I can write q'[President's]' "q[]".Not exactly. Instead of
'President''s'you can write
q'[President's]'Nothing more is required. When a string literal is preceded by Q, the first character after the opening single-quote (or its mirror-image, if it has one, as it does in this case) will be expected to end the string.
If you add "q[]" after that,
q'[President's]'   "q[]"it's equivalent to saying
q'[President's]'   AS "q[]"The keyword AS is optional before column aliases.
I wanted to see if you can combine the second example with alising the column at the same time.Since "q[]" is already an alias, the answer is no, because a column can have only one alias.
I realise that it might look like an alias.The reason why it looks like an alias is because it is an alias. What is "q[]", if not an alias?
If you want the alias to be "Title" (capital T, then all small letters) then say
SELECT q'[President's]'   AS "Title"
FROM    dual;

Quotes in a column alias

Possible to have double quotes in a column alias in a SQL projection? Long story involving Apex, Anychart v5 and how Apex names data serie in XML generated for multiple Y axis.
This problem can be easily solved if I can add a double quote into a column alias. E.g.
select
some_col as "COL1"" param1=123"
from dualNo comment about Apex using column labels for generating XML tag name-values... {noformat} ;-) {noformat}
Of course, the SQL parser does not like the above format at all.
Had a look at the SQL Reference guide and it does not say much in this regard. Seems like there's no workaround - correct?

Hi,
I can't think of any way to do that in SQL.
In SQL*Plus, you can use COLUMN ... HEADING, with doubled double-quotes:
COLUMN     dummy     FORMAT     A20     HEADING     "COL1"" param=123"
SELECT     *
FROM     dual;Output:
COL1" param=123

{code}

How to resolve unresolved column error when we change column name in BMM Layer and removed alias in presentation layer

how to resolve unresolved column error when we change column name in BMM Layer and removed alias in presentation layer

Looks like the presentation column got Alias before your BMM changes, so in your case renaming logical column and deleting alias is not good to go.

How to extract member, default alias and custom alias into separate columns

Hi,
is there a way to get simultaneously member name, default alias name and custom alias name with Essbase 9x report scripts (Report Writer)?
I do know that using for example
<OUTALTSELECT "default or custom alias table"
<REPMBRALIAS "dimension"
I can get both the real member name and selected alias table, but the problem is that they're both returned to same column.
Using fix columns and order I can repeat member name into several columns if needed, but I would need to tell what to put for each column.
For example : { ORDER 0,0,0,1,2,3,4,5 FIXCOLUMNS 8 }
I would like to force the report script to put Member name into first column in row, default alias name of member into second column in row and custom alias name of member into third column in row, like :
MEMBERNAME DEFAULTALIASNAME CUSTOMALIASNAME
Any ideas how to handle this?
I can of course create several extracts containing one sort of info per list, but it would make life somewhat easier having all of these in same extract.
Thanks in advance!
Br,
MK

Hi,
well, that's pretty much what I want to achieve, to get all info of member within same row, but into separate columns.
The other option is to then produce 2 other extracts containing:
Extract 1:
MEMBERNAME DEFAULTALIASNAME
and
Extract 2:
MEMBERNAME CUSTOMALIASNAME
These values should be in separate columns?
I think I lost the track while playing around with report writer, does anyone have a ready made solution for this?
<REPMBRALIAS brings the needed info, but returns the values into same column.
Empty space delimiter could be handled with customalias table, but in this case default alias name may have long text with several empty spaces making it hard to sort in the other system side.
Any suggestions?
Thanks so far for your kind help.

If you don't explicitly specify a name for the output column, Oracle will try to generate one based on the input expression. If the name does not follow the normal rules for identifiers (one of which is that the name can't contain special symbols, like parentheses) then the name must be enclosed in double-quotes.
Notice that these rules are a little different from the rules about result sets. In the result set of a main query, for example, column names do not have to be unique, and a system-generated name like 'SUM(E.SALARY)" is acceptable.
Actually the book hasnt specfied the need for an alias at this place ...so i wanted to know why am getting this error ..I can't see which book you're reading. Post a quote. If the book is available on line, post a link, too.

Table and columns in small caps!

Dear All,
My database is 11gR2 and Linux is the OS.
One of my application, whose code I am unable to access, it trying to insert records in Oracle database. The problem is that application is case sensitive and try to find table name and columns in small caps, while it gets upper case from Oracle and give error or invalid identifier.
Is there any option to create table and fields with small letters.
Kindly help.
Regards,
Imran

...The problem is that application is case sensitive and try to find table name and columns in small caps...What application could look for tables/columns in small caps ? As stated above, creating tables/columns enclosed by double quotes might help, but that'd mean the code must use double quotes everywhere...
while it gets upper case from Oracle and give error or invalid identifier. It get as is, please show the error.

Special Characters and spaces in Tablenames and Column Names are allowed ?

Hi
I have created two tables in Oracle10g
as follows
SQL> create table test(columna number,columnb varchar2(20),primary key(columna));
Table created.
SQL> insert into test values(1,'test');
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
COMMIT är utfört.
SQL> create table "test quote"("#" number,abc number,primary key("#"));
Table created.
SQL> insert into "test quote" values(1,2);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
COMMIT är utfört.
SQL> select * from "test quote";
# ABC
1 2
SQL> select * from test;
COLUMNA COLUMNB
1 test
Now I want to cache the tables and their data into TimesTen
The cache group for table test which is not having any spaces and special characters in table name and column names is created perfectly.
But when I create the cache group for table "test quote" which is having special characters and spaces it gives error :
Command>create readonly cache group w2 from testuser.test(columna number,columnb varchar2(20),primary key(columna));
Command>select * from test;
<1,test>
1 row found.
Command>create readonly cache group w3 from testuser."test quote"("#" number,abc number,primary key("#"));
5140: Could not find TESTUSER.TEST QUOTE in Oracle. May not have privileges.
Command Failed.
Now there is contradiction that why cache group for table test is created successfully and why it is not being created for table "test quote".
What I think is if special characters and spaces in column names and table names are possible in Oracle then it sould be possible in TimesTen.
Any possible solution.
Looking forward for your reply.
Please help I am stuck badly.

Comma in report column alias breaking PDF Printing?

It appears that some (but not all) special characters (e.g., a comma) in a report column alias causes an error when using PDF printing under "Print Attributes" for reports.
This query works fine:
select sysdate as "Date Today" from dual
But the query below causes the error "Adobe could not open 'report[1].pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged...":
select sysdate as "Date, Today" from dual
Does anyone know a work-around? My real alias is "Lastname, Firstname" so I would like to keep the comma!
We're using APEX 3.0.1 and PDF printing with Apache FOP.
Thanks ahead of time.
Cindy

Hi Cindy,
why not use the "Heading" property of a report column to show a speaking column heading? The column alias isn't really intended for that purpose.
Set the "Heading Type" to "Custom" then you are able to change them for each column.

Relational Diagram not showing Views column alias (R3.3)

This seems to be a change as well? When I build views I often alias the columns in the view query builder. I would like the diagram to show those alias names rather than the name of the underlying column. Otherwise I have to look at the DDL to see if I got the names the way I want them.
In previous version I thought it showed me the alias (I could be wrong?)

Hi Kent,
I logged a bug for that. It was added support for view header and unfortunately alias was lost.
here is a script you can use to copy alias to header alias. If you have header alias for all columns then header will be included in generated DDL for that view.

Alternative to Column alias in a Where clause

This question is related to earlier thread: https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2578735
The below query gives me millions of records which is unacceptable from performance point of view. I am only interested in Tickets that are closed in a particular week. I cannot use closed_date in the inner query as closed_date >= '08/18/2013' AND closed_date < '08/24/2013' because close_date is column alias. I can't put it in the where condition of parent query because it makes no sense because by the time control raches to WHERE condition of parent query the subquery would have already fetched millions of records.
Any alternative to this?
SELECT b.ticket_id, b.ticket_status, b.created_date, b.closed_status, b.closed_date
FROM
(SELECT ticket_id, ticket_status, created_date, lead(ticket_status) over (partition BY ticket_id order by created_date) AS closed_status, lead(created_date) over (partition BY ticket_id order by created_date) AS closed_date
FROM cc_ticket_history

The issue with this line:
(select NLS_INITCAP(name_f || ' ' || name_l) name from TXI_PEOPLE where userid= TXI_IS_PROJECTS.PROJECT_OWNER),
It's giving me this error:
query column #5 ((SELECTNLS_INITCAP(NAME_F||''||NAME_L)NAMEFROMTXI_PEOPLEWHEREUSERID=TXI_IS_PROJECTS.PROJECT_OWNER)) is invalid, use column alias
I've tried various ways and it's still not working.

SELECT
TXI_IS_PROJECTS.PROJECT_NAME,
TXI_IS_PROJECTS.PROJECT_DESC,
TXI_IS_PROJECTS.PROJECT_SIZE,
TXI_IS_PROJECTS.PROJECT_STATUS,
(select NLS_INITCAP(name_f || ' ' || name_l) name
from TXI_PEOPLE
where userid= TXI_IS_PROJECTS.PROJECT_OWNER) as "My Column",

WHERE TXI_DOCUMENT_SIGNOFF.SIGN_OFF_ID = :P9_SIGN_OFF_ID; 
as "My Column" 
I just recreated it and that worked.
