Returning a range of integer in sql

Dear all,
I would like ask if there is any query method that can return a dump set of integer range. E.g. if there is any query that can return a range of number from 1 to 10, each of them as a row using any dummy table?
Thank you!

And of course you can extend this to any range:
select * from
select level lvl
from dual
connect by level <= &to_num
where lvl >= &from_num

How to return array of unsigned integer pointer from call library function node & store the data in array in labview

I want to return array of unsigned integer from call library node.
If anybody knows please help me
Thanks & Regards,
Harish. G.

Did you take a look at the example that ships with LabVIEW that shows how to do all sorts of data passing to DLLs. I believe your situation is one of the examples listed. You can find the example VI in the "<LabVIEW install directory>\examples\dll\data passing" directory.

How to return number range from sql (dual table)

in sql plus
I need to display values (numbers)1 to 52 from dual
eg,
1
2
3
4
5
etc...
Is this possible, can you display a range of numbers from an sql statment without creating atble holding the required numbers.
I am trying to display 1 to 52 (week numbers) but I need to do this from the dual table.
Creating a table with values 1 to 52 looks like a waste?
Thanks in anticipation.

If you're running on 9i you may find the solution I posted Re: List all days of a month in single SQL to be useful. Otherwise the general discussion will provide some illumination.

How would you send a date-range parameter to a SQL sproc?

Team,
MY ENVIRONMENT
SQL 2005, Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005
MY PROBLEM
I am authoring both a sproc and a report, so I have full control over the design. I am a SQL expert and also a Crystal 8.5 expert.
I have done the Sproc-Report connection dozens of times.
Please consider along with me the sequence of creating a report based on a parameterized stored procedure.
My sproc header is shown here:
CREATE Procedure dbo.usp_DocumentActivityReport(
     @Department NVARCHAR(50)
   , @DateRange NVARCHAR(50)
) AS
SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3 FROM #TEMP
MY THOUGHT PROCESS
@DEPARTMENT is a string. That's easy.
@DATERANGE is a DATE RANGE and I don't know how to get Crystal Reports to prompt for a date range, so I used a String parameter knowing I can parse a specially formatted string, and knowing that I can use a formula to compute the string.
Step 1. Create the blank report, the {?Department} parameter, the {?CreationDateRange} report parameter, and the {@DateRangeText} conversion formula that converts {?CreationDateRange} to the specially formatted string.
Step 2. Test the stored procedure.
Tests pass; It returns data when I run it with values, with zero-length string values, and with NULL values.
Step 3. Tie the report to the stored procedure.
Adding the sproc directly creates two hard-wired, undeletable parameters, and returns data columns. That's no good because the user must supply the specially formatted string for the date range. So, I try using Add Command instead, with this syntax:
{call "EXP_TEST"."dbo"."usp_CorroDocumentActivityReport" (N'{?Department}', N'{@DateRangeText}')}
This code is accepted, but Add Command did not create any undeletable parameters at all. I guess that's OK.
But the worst part is that it does not show any output columns with data either! AAARGH!
Please assist with showing me the proper order to do these steps.
BTW, here's the VB Syntax formula for {@DateRangeText}:
Dim min As String
dim max as String
if HasLowerBound ({?CreationDateRange}) then
min = ToText(Minimum({?CreationDateRange}),"MM/dd/yyyy")
else
max = ""
end if
if HasUpperBound ({?CreationDateRange}) then
max = ToText(Maximum({?CreationDateRange}),"MM/dd/yyyy")
else
max = ""
end if
if IncludesLowerBound ({?CreationDateRange}) then
min = "[" & min
else
   if HasLowerBound ({?CreationDateRange}) then min = "(" & min
end if
if IncludesUpperBound ({?CreationDateRange}) then
    max = max & "]"
else
   if HasUpperBound ({?CreationDateRange}) then max = max & ")"
end if
'formula = min & "..." & max
formula = "(1/1/2009...3/1/2009)"

Return a Recordset in a PL/SQL

Hello All,
I'm attempting to write a PL/SQL statement over some very large tables. The processing of the statement takes over 45 minutes to complete.
I've been able to speed up processing by creating a temp table over the largest of the tables, and it truly has speed up processing. The problem is that this statement will be used in a report run from SQL Reporting Services, using PL/SQL. This will be used in various reports and would like to make this an adhoc type of job - launched by executing the report.
I've tried writing a procedure that returns a recordset, but I'm having no luck. I'm new to writing Stored Procedures, Functions and Packages, and am trying to get my head around the best way to approach this.
Here is what I have so far - and it's not even close to working, but you can see the logic I'm trying to follow as far was what I need to return.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE PKG_BillSegs_ZeroUsage AS
TYPE cursor_type IS REF CURSOR;
Procedure GETBILLSEG_ZEROUSAGE (
               p_RevMth IN bi_bill_segment.rev_month%TYPE,
p_recordset OUT PKG_BillSegs_ZeroUsage.cursor_type);
END PKG_BillSegs_ZeroUsage;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE GetBillSeg_ZeroUsage (p_RevMth IN bi_bill_segment.rev_month%TYPE,
p_recordset OUT PKG_BillSegs_ZeroUsage.cursor_type) AS
BEGIN
OPEN p_recordset FOR
select * from bi_bill_segment where usage_qty = 0 and rev_month = p_RevMth;
END GetBillSeg_ZeroUsage;
Any help is greatly appreciated!

SSRS - Oracle Stored procedure returns no data but does in SQL Developer Sudio

HI there,
Stored procedure returns no data when executed on the report but when i execute the stored procedure in Sql Developer it returns required rows.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Simon,
When i test with simple query, i get the data.
For your convenience, my stored proc looks lyk :
PROCEDURE pr_REPORT_data(P_STARTDATE IN DATE, P_ENDDATE IN DATE, data_rows OUT T_CURSOR) AS
OPEN completed_Reinstatement FOR
SELECT
value1,.......value5
FROM table1
WHERE
To_Date(createdDate, 'YYYY/MM/DD') BETWEEN To_Date(P_STARTDATE, 'YYY/MM/DD') AND To_Date(P_ENDDATE, 'YYYY/MM/DD');
END pr_REPORT_data;
T_CURSOR is of type cursor which is declared on the package.
I'm assuming the problem is with date parameters, however i converted the date before passing to
WHERE clause.

i have used the create type thing to create this type.
if i remove the out parameter it works, no compilation error.
Questions i) How to return the associative array as out parameter?
ii)Am i doing aynthing qrong here?
iii) Can i open a ref cursor to this associative array and then return that ref_cursor?
Please anyone reply back, Thanks in advance

objecttab_coll         dbms_stats.objecttab;

-- do more stuff here
end block;I have tried this + a few variations but with no luck. In looking through the docs I do not see an example. can this be done?
Thanks

I dont find any need for an execute immediate here. This must be just enough.
procedure block(owner varchar2)
is
     objecttab_coll         dbms_stats.objecttab;
begin
     dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats(ownname => owner, options => 'LIST AUTO', objlist => objecttab_coll);

Retrieve a range of records from SQL query Oracle

I want to retrieve range of rows in Oracle database. This is the table structure:
CREATE TABLE ACTIVESESSIONSLOG(
ASESSIONID VARCHAR2(30 ) NOT NULL,
USERID VARCHAR2(30 ),

ACTIVITY CLOB
/This is the SQL command that I use to get rows from the table:

SSIS query returns no results - same query in SQL management studio works

Hello,
I'm running a very simple join to get a result set:
SELECT dbo.sap_contracts.svc_id, dbo.sap_contracts.svc_code, dbo.sap_contracts.quantity, dbo.sap_contracts.start_date, dbo.sap_contracts.end_date
FROM dbo.sap_contracts
INNER JOIN dbo.contracts
ON dbo.contracts.contract_id=dbo.sap_contracts.contract_id
where customer_name='XXXXXXXXX'
When I run this in SQL management studio it works fine and returns the list of existing "SAP contracts" in the DB (to compare to the customer's contracts actually in SAP).
In SSIS (SQL 2012) I'm using an Execute SQL task to run this query and putting the full results set into a variable of type "object". I've done very similar things before and it worked fine. With this query in SSIS I get no results at all. Changing
the variable type to "string" throws an error showing that the type being written to the variable is "DBNull" - so it seems that the query in SSIS returns no records, when in SQL management studio I get the 15 records that should be returned.
Does anyone have any ideas of what could be wrong?
Cheers
Mark

There are several connections to the DB in tasks before this one, and the task after this is a whole load of C# in a script task doing SOAP communications to the SAP ERP system to compare the result set from this SQL with the contracts in SAP ERP for the
specific customer.
Input variables are all correct (I've checked them about 15 times now with breakpoints on just about every task in the whole package) and I'm at the point of having to test everything in an attempt to see exactly what query is being sent to the SQL server
and anything else I can do to see why nothing comes back. There is a almost complete lack of debugging tools in SSIS which doesn't make life any easier (something I've heard quite a few times in various forums).
I'm tearing my hair out on this for half a day now and it's not funny any more, so apologies if I come across as a little frustrated.
Cheers

Returning composite datatype(record) to an SQL Query

I have a function called get_customer_address() that takes customer id and returns the customer address as a record type.
TYPE cust_address_type IS RECORD
(address1 VARCHAR2(25),
address2 VARCHAR2(25),
city VARCHAR2(25),
zipcode VARCHAR(10),
STATE VARCHAR(10));
cust_address cust_address_type;
My function is returning cust_address.
I want to modify below exising query and call this function from the query to get address.
select cust_id, address1, address2, city, zipcode from customer_table;
Instead of using address1, address2, city, zipcode if I want to the record type variable cust_id returned from the function, can I use it in my query? How do I modify the above query to call the function get_customer_address and get the same values as in the above query?

To add to Elic's comment - PL/SQL record structures can be defined as SQL objects, as long as SQL data types are used and not non-supported PL/SQL types like boolean.
E.g. create or replace type TCustAddress is object
( address1 VARCHAR2(25),
   address2 VARCHAR2(25),
   city     VARCHAR2(25),
   zipcode VARCHAR2(10),
   state    VARCHAR2(10)
);This provides a lot more flexibility than using PL/SQL record types. This is essentially an object class definition - and you can add constructors and methods to it.
It works seamlessly across both SQL and PL/SQL.

How to compare a boolean value returned from a function in a sql query

Refcursor not returning rows when called from non SQL*Plus IDE or other

now, our problem is with crystal and also when I use the same test case via another IDE like TOAD.
No data is returned from the list but the table is still updated.
We suspect that something is happening that is causing the table to be updated before the refcursor is opened, or at least before the predicates are applied.
has anyone else encountered this problem before?

nope - it works from sqlplus itermitantly (i.e. we always get the debug output but the cursor only sometimes fetches the rows).
it is almost as if the commit is being executed before the cursor is opened.
I still havn't been able to reproduce it except with the actual scenario that I am working with...Is the code you are dealing with exactly the same as the skeleton you've posted in your original post? Do you perhaps have a generic exception catcher in there somewhere (perhaps catching and hiding an ORA-01555) when the cursor is being fetched?
Not that i expect it to make any difference, but i'm curious as to why you've declared your cursor as IN / OUT ?
p_listcur in out sys_refcursor
the code structure in the real example is almost identical to that test case I produced - the exception handler is only catering for no_data_found, all other errors should be raised as normal.
edit: sorry I forgot to add - it's in/out because apparently that's what crystal reports needs in order to use the refcursor..... I'm not a crystal guy so I can't be any more specific than that sorry......
