Reducing the precision of the number datatype while creating a M view

Hi,
I am trying to create a materialized view using the query
create materialized view mv1 as select cast(empno-7000 as number(3)) empno, sal from emp
where empno > 7000;
But after creating the mv the description is shown as below
SQL> desc mv1
Name Null? Type
EMPNO NUMBER
SAL NUMBER(7,2)
I need the result empno number(3) instead of number
Is that possible.

hey, it worked for me:
SQL> select * from v$version

This error occurs when you try to create a materialized view , but if you run the sql the results are perfectly fine. Well it happend to me also and to fix this I made sure all the coulmns have the same data type which are used in joins or in where clause.
use
where
to_number(col1)=to_number(col2) and to_number(col3)=to_number(col4)
hope this helps..

What are the naming conventions we should follow while creating an object

hi
what are the naming conventions we should follow while creating an object in ABAP dictionary, i.e while creating zee table.

Hi,
Namespaces and Naming Conventions
SAP has reserved name ranges for customer objects and SAP objects. Use these customer name ranges to make sure that your objects are not overwritten by SAP objects during the import of corrections or an upgrade.
This documentation lists the customer name ranges for the different system objects.
Only use the customer name ranges. If you do not keep to the name ranges for customer objects you may lose your development objects.
SAP delivers a few system objects with names that fall within the customer name range. These objects already existed when the customer name range was extended from YY/ZZ to Y/Z. These objects are listed in table TDKZ.

Serial number error while creating the production order

Hello frds,
I am getting the following error while creating the production order.
"Item 000000 requires exactly 100 serial numbers for the asset".
If i give 100 serial numbers in the order, the error is solved. But i do not want to assign 100 serial numbers, i want to assign only 2 numbers.
I have tried using the new serial number profile also, but it is giving same error.
Kindly guide.
Regards,
Narendra Bora

Dear Narendra
Select the serial number profile and go to serialization procedure and set the ser. usage status 02 - Optional as below.
Procd Procedure description Ser.Usage
PPRL PP order release 02
since the serail number creation is optional for order relase this will allow you to relase with out error and with serail number assigned in partial.

How to update precision value in number datatype

hello all
i hava a database containing data in that there is a table which contan a number datatype
that is number(10)
the table contain large amount of data
now i need the precision value 2
that is number(10,2)
how i can update is
i try alter command the do this bu the error is there the table contain data
so please suggest the solution
thanks in advance

The number of columsn has nothing to do with it. The number of rows has nothing to do with it.
Here is a step-by-step example to address your problem. I will change DATA_OBJECT_ID from NUMBER to NUMBER(10,2) even though there are thousands of rows in the table, the column is "in the middle " of the table, and there are many rows with non-null values in that column.

How to update the condition price in sales order while creating the invoice

Hi,
How to update the condition price in the sales order to carry out the new price while creating the invoice?
While creating the invoice it should update the condition price in sales order.
Thanks,
Balaram

No, pricing is not there in delivery.
I found an exit for VF01transaction where we can update the price in order.
Can you please tell me how to update the price if I have the order, material numbers and conditions number?
Thanks,

Is it possible to set the precision for the subtraction operator?

Hi everyone.
I have two complex double precision numbers that are suppose to be equals. Each one is the result of different sets of equations.
When I subtract one from the other the result is not zero.
I think this can be explain by the fact that they are quite large numbers (about 1E+101), causing the subtraction operator to drop (or round, or do something not legit with) the two numbers. Moreover, if I repeat the subtraction with different large numbers, I obtain about half of the time the expected result (zero) and the rest of the time I obtain a value between 1E+84 and 1E+86.
What I would like is to get the result right everytime, so I thought about setting a precision to the subtraction operator. Is that possible? If it is, how am I suppose to do that and if not, what's wrong with the subtraction operator?
Thanks
tonh

Thought 1: 1e+101 is pretty big! Do you *need* all your calcs to carry such a big exponent? For example, can you run all the calcs on values that have been scaled by 1e-100, then at the end of all the calcs scale back by 1e+100?
Thought 2: If you just need to compare for approximate equality, you could divide the difference by the larger of the two values being subtracted. If you subtract two virtually equal 1e+101 values, you may get a difference in the order of 1e+85. The division will give you a ratio of ~1e-16. Ratios in that realm will mean that the two original values are about as nearly equal as the floating point representation can express. This type of method scales pretty well to work with both very small and very large floating point numbers.
Thought 3: If the inputs to your calcs are in the order of 1e+85 or less, you may really have your work cut out for you. You'll need to think carefully about floating point representation error at each step of the calculations to know where you can round, truncate, approximate, etc. There may be places where rounding will be *necessary* and other places where it is *disastrous*.
To summarize: you need to apply some of your error knowledge to your code. The 1e+101 calculated values probably don't have more than 6-8 *significant* digits of accuracy, right? (Most numbers come from some kind of measurement, or a rounded-off value for a scientific constant, etc.) You'll need to analyze your values and calcs to understand about how many digits of the 1e+101 numbers are truly *significant*. Then your code will need to treat values which differ by less than that amount as if they are truly equal.

How to determine the precision of the AD converter?

Hello,
I'm using traditional NI-DAQ, and I need to determine whether the DAQ card is 12bits or 16bits. I also need to determine how many bits the general purpose counters are. Currently I'm using a PCI-6023E, which is 12bits for the AD, and 24bits for the counter, but I want to make sure that a different card (MIO-16E, etc) can be plugged in and the software will still work. I know I can use Get_DAQ_Device_Info to check which device is plugged in, but doing a switch statement for all 200 devices would be ugly, and would not detect future NI-DAQ cards. Thanks for any help.

Hello:
ANY E-Series DAQ Device (MIO) will work with the same set of VIs. ALL E-Series devices use 24-bit counters. The only thing that will change is whether it is a 12-bit or a 16-bit card. Now, you should be able to program your device so the code won't change between a 12 or 16 bit card. Is that possible?
If you absolutely need to know whether your device is 12 or 16 bit (programmatically), then you will need to use the infoType "ND_DEVICE_TYPE_CODE" in the function "Get_DAQ_Device_Info." It will return a code that you can look up in the help section for the function "Init_DA_Brds." Instead of a huge case structure, I would use a lookup table where you have a 2-D array of Ints with 1 column being the code and 1 column being the # of bits. Just i
ndex the array to the correct row and you can get the # of bits. Basically, all E-series boards are 12-bits except the 603x and 605x boards, which are 16-bits.
I hope this helps...
Good Luck!

The precision of the timing analysis

In my project, I can get the timing analysis of the path "clk50M_PE2_ref to FPGA_TEST6". The "clk50M_PE2_ref" and "FPGA_TEST6" are the ports of FPGA. The path delay is 7.473ns from the timing analysis reports.
But when I measure these two ports signal with Oscilloscope, I get the delay time is 5.2ns. The testpoints are at the through-hole on the back of the FPGA (that is the bottom of the PCB).
Why the delay time is different between timing analysis and oscilloscope measurement? Which is the correct in fact?

yssy2000 wrote:
Thanks for your reply!
If I want to know the delay time from A ports to B ports, how to get the exactly value except with the oscilloscope?
That's like asking "how can I get the exact temperature at 2PM tomorrow except by waiting until then and using a thermometer?"
The tools can only predict the delay as a range, minimum to maximum, based on characterization data for your part. There are differences in delay from part to part (Process, the "P" in PVT), with variation in supply voltage (Voltage, the "V" in PVT) and with die temperature (Temperature, the "T" in PVT). You can use a scope or other measuring instrument to find the actual delay for a particular part at a particular voltage and temperature. Even so this delay may change for the same part and voltage supply due to changes in temperature. So the bottom line is, why do you need to know the exact delay? Typically you'd only need to know if you are using the FPGA as a timing generator, and in that case you would need to have a way of calibrating your output delay in order for it to be reliably repeatable.

Error while creating a list view

Hi Friends,
When I try to create a new view for a list, I get this error message:
"This view cannot be displayed because it exceeds the list view threshold (5000 items) enforced by the administrator.
To view items, try selecting another view or creating a new view. If you do not have sufficient permissions to create views for the list, ask your administrator to modify the view so that it conforms to the list view threshold"
I tried to apply filters for the list to reduce down the results but still the same problem.
I'm very keen for an answer to this question. I've researched a lot but couldn't find any help. Your advice will be much appreciated.
Many thanks.

Hi
a. introduce more filters to reduce the number of items in your view
b. ask your admin to modify the default value ( isn't a suitable option, because will affect your farm's performaces )

Error while creating datasource from view ZBSIS_VIEW

Hi all,
I could not create the datasource on the database table BSIS as it said "Invalid extract structure template BSIS of Datasource". I had suggestions that I should create a view and then create the Datasource on it. So I created the view and tried. But still I am facing an error message while creating datasource from custom Database View ZBSIS_VIEW.
"Invalid extract structure template ZBSIS_VIEW of DataSource"
Can anyone help on this regard.
thanks.

Hi,
Yes. You need a create a view on tables BSIS, BKPF and T001 as the currency/quantity fields in BSIS have reference fields from the other 2 tables.
In BSIS, in the currency/quantity fields tab, you have some ref tables and fields. You would need to include these tables and join in the view. You would also need to include the ref fields like WAERS, HWAE2, HWAE3, etc in the view. Then you would be able to create the datasource.

Please guide me on this and help to resolve the issue.

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_6002.htm#i2063793 gives you the syntax of the command.
I think the fact that you have two REFRESH clauses separated by a query rewrite clause is causing some confusion.
7 REFRESH COMPLETE
8 ON DEMAND
9 DISABLE QUERY REWRITE
10 REFRESH START WITH TRUNC( SYSDATE + 1 ) + 3/24 NEXT TRUNC( SYSDATE + 1 ) + 3/24
11 AS
probably should be
REFRESH COMPLETE
ON DEMAND
START WITH TRUNC( SYSDATE + 1 ) + 3/24 NEXT TRUNC( SYSDATE + 1 ) + 3/24
DISABLE QUERY REWRITE

Maximum length of the Path that can be given while creating a directory

Hi
I would like to know the maximum length of a path that can be given in solaris?
e.g i have to create a directory like this
mkdir /a/b/c..../z ]---> what can be the max length ?
in the same way while reading a path also.
i heard something like getconf PATH_MAX .But i dont know what is this used for.
the value i got when i executed the above command is 1024 ]-->what is this value?
Thanks in advance

e.g i have to create a directory like this
mkdir /a/b/c..../z ]---> what can be the max length ?Very long in some sense. But mkdir will probably fail if handed a string longer than PATH_MAX.
