Using analytic functions
SELECT *

Retrive a new sequence value from a table using Stored Procedure

Dear experts
i have written the following stored procedure, but i want this to return itemid to the environment. Please help as i am absolutely new to oracle.
create or replace procedure "SP_ITEMS"
(vitem IN VARCHAR2,
vqty IN NUMBER,
vrate IN NUMBER)
is
begin
INSERT INTO ITEMS (item,qty,rate)
VALUES (vitem,vqty,vrate);
end;
Thanks
With regards

If you want a column to be automatically populated with a sequence, then you need to create a sequence, and create a trigger to populate the column with the sequence. You can use the returning clause in a select statement to return the value of the inserted sequence. You can do this with just sql or you can put it in a procedure. I have demonstrated both below. This is a general sql and pl/sql problem, not something specific to the Express Edition, so please post future such questions in the sql and pl/sql discussion group instead.

Trying to install a new version of SQL 2014 Std 64 or x86. Installing on Windows 8.1Pro 64bit machine.
I get:

SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:

I looked at the summary log and that is the only error.
I made sure there were no other instances of SQL on this machine. Uninstalled all VS2013 and sql instances just in case. IF there is somewhere to check if a previous version or license is causing the issue, i would be glad to check.
Any help would be appreciated.

How to get second maximum salary from employee table(sql query)

how to get second maximum salary from employee table(sql query)

dude there is no matter of structure .........that user already said its from employee table ...............its basic table in sql and there is no need to specify the table structure
.........i think u got my point I think you are the one who didn't understand Sarma's point.
Give a man a fish and you feed him once. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him a life long.
>
and the query is
select max(sal) from emp where sal<(select max(sal)
from emp);
this will give the 2nd max salary from the emp tableBtw: You solution is bad, because it needs to scan and sort the table emp twice. And a better solution has been given already.

In the above code im geeting project D which is an integer value. But not able to get the project name.
Please some one guide me.

As I said in the other thread, this really isn't the place to ask questions about a database API unrelated to the Illustrator SDK. You're far more like to find people familliar with your problem on a forum that is dedicated to answering those kinds of questions instead.

Exchange Rate: Routine to copy the "Exchange Rate" value From TCURR table

Dear experts,
I have created a cutomised Key Figure (ZEXCHRATE) with the 0currency as the unit and this field is included in my ZCOPA_C21 Infocube.
In the update rule, it was then appointed with a simple routine below;
(PROGRAM UPDATE_ROUTINE.
$$ begin of global - insert your declaration only below this line -
TABLES: TCURR.
DATA: IT_TCURT Type TCURR occurs 0 with header line.
$$ end of global - insert your declaration only before this line   -
FORM compute_data_field
TABLES   MONITOR STRUCTURE RSMONITOR "user defined monitoring
USING    COMM_STRUCTURE LIKE /BIC/CSZCOPA_TPL_IS
           RECORD_NO LIKE SY-TABIX
           RECORD_ALL LIKE SY-TABIX
           SOURCE_SYSTEM LIKE RSUPDSIMULH-LOGSYS
CHANGING RESULT LIKE /BIC/VZCOPA_C21T-/BIC/ZEXCHRATE
           RETURNCODE LIKE SY-SUBRC
           ABORT LIKE SY-SUBRC. "set ABORT <> 0 to cancel update
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line        -
fill the internal table "MONITOR", to make monitor entries
SELECT        * FROM TCURR appending corresponding fields of table
IT_TCURT
         WHERE KURST = 'M'
         AND    FCURR = 'USD'
         AND    TCURR = 'IDR'.
      AND    GDATU = ___.
      AND    UKURS = ___.
Sort IT_TCURT by GDATU descending.
Loop at IT_TCURT.
    Move IT_TCURT-UKURS to RESULT.
    Exit.
Endloop.
result value of the routine
RESULT = space.
if the returncode is not equal zero, the result will not be updated
RETURNCODE = 0.
if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
ABORT = 0.
$$ end of routine)
Which will basically copy all the contents of TCURR into an internal table (IT_TCURT), sort it and then only copy out the UKURS (Exchange rate) data into the customised ZEXCHRATE to get the latest exchange rate value.
Routine was checked and its fine.
The problem is, upon checking the update rule, it returned an error message;
"No Unit maintain for Key Figure Exchange Rate Local".
Double checked the declaration of ZEXCHRATE, the unit was there.
My questions;
1. Is this the correct way of doing it ? I just want to be able to show the exchange rate value in my query (hence the existence of ZEXCHRATE).
2. Is there an alternative way of achieving the same result ?
Your help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
KG

Hi Sreeni,
Referring to the " but the conversion from VEF to USD is happening at a rate @0.23256 which is valid till 02/13/2013 only" part in your post, the date given in OB08 for currency rate is valid from and not valid till. Hence, please check the setting once. Once you enter the rate from 02/13/2013, the rate is valid till you enter another date later than 02/13/2013.

WD4A with ALV, populating the header with values from the table

I have WDA application that list schedule agreement headers in one ALV and when you select one the line items show in the second ALV2 below. We show quantity and net value in 13 monthly buckets beginning with the validity data. The function returns the month text in columns I want to change the header based on the months returned. So instead of QNTY1, QNTY2 it would be 01/2008, 01/2008 etc. But ALV2 is initialized when the page is built and if I change the ALV2 settings after the line item function call they are not updated. On the page. Is there anyway I can do this???
It tried put the code in the EXECUTE function method, and I tried WDMODIFYVIEW but the ALV is not refreshed.
Thanks
David

Thanks for your help, I know I am probably doing something dumb but it is driving me crazy.
I have debugged I can see the text change in the debugger but it doesn't show up on the screen. I removed the code from from the WDDOINIT. So am doing everything in the ONACTIONGETDETAIL to ensure that it is not being overwritten. I can change the 'number of lines', remove print button, change a field to an icon etc, but the column header doesn't change. If I put the same code in the WDDOINIT the column header does change. Everything else works in both places.

How can I convert (or switch) the RGB percent values from the LR histogram into RGB values which are shown e. g. in PS/CameraRAW?

In LR 5.5 (same in previous versions) the RGB values in the histogram are shown in percent (relativ) values. I prefere to see the absolute values, but I can`t find any way to switch. Maybe this option is intentional disabled, because LR works in 16-Bit mode this would result in values up to 2^16. But as i compared the relativ values from LR with the absolute values from PS i run into a conversion problem. The following example shows the differences:
CameraRAW : RGB, 128,0,0
Lightroom: RGB, 43,8%, 19,0%, 6,2%
CameraRAW: RGB, 0,128,0
Lightroom: RGB, 29,8%, 47,5%, 17,5%
Mainly i have two questions:
1. Is there any possibility to change the percent RGB values in LR to absolut values?
2. How can i convert CameraRAW values to LR values (see above)?

TThe reason that a design decision was made from the beginning of LR to show only the percentage values was that RGB values are dependent on the color space and the LR histogram and numerical readout are derived from the Develop module's display space which is a hybrid color space with ProPhoto RGB primaries and the sRGB TRC. Thus the numerical values in the display would be different from the exported RGB image (in an orthodox space) and it was feared that this would be misleading. When soft proofing was introduced, because it involved converting the display to an orthodox space, it became possible to use the 0-255 scale in that mode.

I am reading from an instrument a 1D string array of numbers in ascii. I want to be extract the actual data values from the string. How do I do that?

labview 6i. Using sr785 instrument.

Two ways. Use Fract/Exp to Number function on the Strin>Strin Number Conversion palette. It accepts both individual or strin array inputs. Wire your string array in an get an array of doubles out. You can also use Scan From String on the String palette inside of a for loop. The for loop will autoindex the string array in and autoindex an array of doubles out.

Default value from another table - sql query

I'm trying to make the default value of a text item as the result from an sql or pl/sql statement. I keep getting errors when I try to use a pl/sql statement to do this. Has anyone else done this?

OK, here is what I tried to put in. I have a form and I wanted to add a text field that is derived from another table, such as:
select question from qa_main where seq=:quest_num
So, what I want is to have a form where questions on tests are answered, and I want the text of the question to be brought over from the question table. I'm not sure if I'm using the correct syntax, but the ":quest_num" would be a reference to a question number in the answer table that is linked to the sequence number (primary key) in the questions table.
Of course if there are better ideas, please let me know. :)

How to return the same SUM value from two tables

Hello,
I have the following data:
SQL> SELECT * FROM t1;
     T1_ID   T1_VALUE
         1        500
         1        500
SQL> SELECT * FROM t2;
     T2_ID   T2_VALUE
         1       1000
SQL> SELECT t1_id, SUM(t1_value), SUM(t2_value)
2    FROM t1, t2
3   WHERE t1_id = t2_id
4   GROUP BY t1_id;
     T1_ID SUM(T1_VALUE) SUM(T2_VALUE)
         1          1000          2000How is it possible that SUM(T2_VALUE) returns also 1000.
Thank you

Here's one way:
with t1 as (select 1 t1_id, 500 t1_value from dual union all
            select 1 t1_id, 500 t1_value from dual),
     t2 as (select 1 t2_id, 1000 t2_value from dual)
select t3.t3_id, t3.t3_sum, t4.t4_sum
from   (select t1_id t3_id, sum(t1_value) t3_sum from t1
        group by t1_id) t3,
       (select t2_id t4_id, sum(t2_value) t4_sum from t2
        group by t2_id) t4

Retreving Hexadecimal Values from a table using SQL query.

Hi,
I'm looking for a query to retreive Hexadecimal values contained in a column using SQL query.
The column contains the values of all types, alphanumeric, numeric and hexadecimal.
I need to retreive only hexadecimal values.
any help to me in this regard will be appreciated.
Thanks

Presumably, you can be sure that any valid hex value is indeed MEANT to BE a hex value. For example the value 'ACE' is meant to be a hexadecimal value and not the word.
