Select * from emp where ename=(procedure1(procedure2(procedure3)));

I have a big problem
I have to check the data for quality data
Lets say i have to check data in emp table
First i have to check whether the empno is of type number
     IF empno=number then
          if ename starts with a particualar format then
               ---printouts and this procedure goes on for about 10 coulumns
I have designed a hard coded procedure where I input table name and column name and the procedure does the checks and give out result
I have planned to call that procedures here for each checks
its like i make the procedure to execute and the procedure returns rowid of the correct data
now i have to apply the second procedure where input is all the rowids of previous procedure and it goes on
I even dont know whether procedure is correct or function is correct
Its like select * from emp where ename=(procedure1(procedure2(procedure3)));
each procedure's output is Rowids only which satisfy a particular format of data
Please explain me in details
Please please help me.

Nested calls are not the best of ideas. Ignoring that for a moment, there are a couple of ways to address this requirement in Oracle. One of these, and likely one of the more scalable ways, is to use Pipeline Table Functions.
The following code demonstrates the basics of this approach, using pipelined table functions to perform validation checks on data.

Create table bulk_load as select ename from emp where 1=2

The Above Query will create a new table using the strucure of old but there will be no data..
Kindly explain me what is meant by "where 1=2"?
Is it referring the table or column or for just testing the query??

Is not a rule that you always must use 1=2... look this example:
sql >> create table t as
2 select * from all_objects;
Table created.
sql >> select count(*) from t;
COUNT(*)
43975
sql >> create table ttt as
2 select * from t where rownum=0;
Table created.
sql >> create table tt as
2 select * from t where 9=4;
Table created.

ls -l /var/run/lighttpd/
And how are you spawning the php instances? I don't see that in the daemons array anywhere.
EDIT: It looks like the info in that page is no longer using pre-spawned instances, but lighttpd adaptive-spawn. The documentation has been made inconsistent it looks like.
You will note that with pre-spawned information, the config looks different[1].
You need to do one or the other, not both (eg. choose adaptive-spawn, or pre-spawn..not both).

Hi,
there has been an issue with an earlier set of bugfixes or an older CPU patch.
It did invalidate the catproc component.
Check: select comp_id,status, version from dba_registry;
if CATPROC is invalid, shutdown and startup your DB.
run
@?/rdbms/admin/catproc.sql
it can run between 10 and 25 minutes depending on horse powers.
Check again: select comp_id,status, version from dba_registry;
CATPROC should now be valid.
If yes run utlrp.sql again and your errors will be gone.
If not, your issue is something else.

About SELECT VALUE FROM NLS_INSTANCE_PARAMETERS WHERE PARAMETER =""

I am developing a web application based on Oacle 10g .But after the DBServe was startedup for about 5~6 hours, the max connection process exceeded. From the DB Administration Tool it shows that there were many INACTIVE Connections which executed
SELECT VALUE FROM NLS_INSTANCE_PARAMETERS WHERE PARAMETER ='NLS_DATE_FORMAT'
But it seems that this is called by the JDBC driver, not my application. How to avoid this, or release the inactive connection?
By the way,who and when call that sql?
Thanks a lot.

By the way,who and when call that sql?Also for this you can take an 10046 level 8 sql trace and format the output with sys=yes option of tkprof - http://tonguc.wordpress.com/2006/12/30/introduction-to-oracle-trace-utulity-and-understanding-the-fundamental-performance-equation/
Since we are talking about a web application you may use a database logon trigger to start sql trace for your application user, or if possible you may set sql_trace database parameter to true at instance level for a while and since you are at 10g you can use new package dbms_monitor and trcsess utility - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14211/sqltrace.htm#sthref2001

Delete from wwv_flow_file_objects$ where file name like 'p1_name'

I am having an issue deleting an object in my apex application. I have uploaded an object into the application i can open the application but i cannot delete from that application. I can delete it when i login to the server and provide this command:
delete from wwv_flow_file_objects$ where filename like 'Whatever.pdf';
I am looking for the code to assign to a button and how do i get it to process.
process
the code i currently have is this: DELETE from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES WHERE name = :P4_NAME and it is not working. What am i missing.
process point = on submit
run process = once per session
when button is pressed pdf_remove
name: pdf_delete
button:
action when clicked
action - submit page
execute validation - no
database action - no database action "it does not show my process"

Christian
Thank you very much,
I switched to Apex Listener over Weblogic Server that was already working, just added a new managed server and deployed apex.war and i.war on it.
the server resources are very good now.

Select data from table where field is initial

I have table that has 10 million records.
I want to select data from this table where certain date field is blank.
*SELECT * FROM table*
INTO TABLE internal table
WHERE PSTNG_DATE = BLANK.
Does anybody know how to select data from data base table when certain field is blank.
I cont select all data once and delete which i dont want, the table is big, it will blow up app server.
thanks in advance,
Sachin
Moderator: Pls do not lock the posting instead provide me the link, its disrespecting.

Respect the forum rules and common sense, and you will be respected.
"how to select data from a database table when the field is blank" is very basic, and basic questions will be locked, because they have been asked many times and you can find the answer yourself with a little effort. There is nothing disrespectful about it.

Selecting datas from tables where tbale name is store in a row

Hi
I need to select datas from several different table (QE01, QE02, QE06, QEXXetc.).
The code of the tables I need to select from is store in another table.
Here's an example:
In the table JOURNAL, I have several entries:
01
06
21
31
These are the codes of the tables I need to select datas from:
QE01
QE06
QE21
QE31
I can't use variables in here, how could that be done ?

Hi,
This should not be a question on how to query data, but rather on how to store them.
You did not mention any version, but I suggest you read about partitioning,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25789/schemaob.htm#CNCPT112
Could be that especially exchange partition is interesting.
My guess is that these tables are created on the fly as part of data loads?
If so, complete that ETL process by exchanging the just loaded data into a partioned table. And your problem of what to query has disappeared.

Peter

Select lines from DB where keys not already selected

This must have been asked many times, but I haven't been able to find an answer:
How do I best select a large number of entries from a table X where the keys of X
are not already cached in a (also large) internal table t?
There are three possibilities I can think of, one of which doesn't actually work, although
I think it should.
1. Convert t to a range table, where all entries have the form sign=E option=EQ (or
sign=I option=NE - I'm confused about the difference in meaning. Which is right?)
2. Use "for all entries". The documentation of FAE leads me to believe that this
should be possible, because the docs only talk of using logical expressions in general
with FAE, not equality specifically. However, using inequality does not give the right result,
i. e.
select * from X for all entries in t where k NE t-k
does not work. Am I missing something?
3. Do a select loop and read t before accepting a line. Although t is a hash table, this is
probably the worst as regards performance.
-- Sebastian

In the 2nd option, just check the statment
select * from X into table itab for all entries in t where k NE t-k

Is it possible to ... SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE ssn IN (..arraylist..) ?

Hi, I have a quick question I hope someone can help me with. I'm a student and what I'm looking for should be easy but I can't find any information on it.
Here's my code, it's probably self-explanatory but to clarify I'm trying to get a list of "Captains" in the order of who has the most wins.
The problem is that the database tables have thousands of "Captains" and I'm only supposed to look at 200 specific "Captains" which have their ssn in a specific arraylist and then return the top 80 "Captains" from that selection.
Something like this...
SELECT first 80 E.name, L.ssn, COUNT(L.wins) as Wins
FROM log L, employees E
where type matches "[Captain]"
and E.ssn = L.ssn
and L.ssn IN (...arraylist...) // How do I loop through the arraylist but still return a list of the top 80 winners?
group by E.name, L.ssn
order by Wins desc;
Should I start by taking the list of social security numbers from the arraylist and insert them into a temporary table and then use that temporary table to base my selection on?
For example:
int rows = 0;
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO TEMP captainsTemp (ssn) VALUES(?)");
Iterator i = myArrayList.iterator();
while (i.hasNext())
     // Set the variables
     for (int pos = 1; pos <= 63; pos++)
          String s = (String)i.next();
          ps.setString(pos,s);
     // insert a row
     rows += ps.execute();
...and then below that I could use
"SELECT * FROM captains
WHERE ssn IN (SELECT * FROM captainTemp)..."
This looks like an ugly solution and I'm not sure if it works, sessionwise..
Everything's written in Java and SQL.
If you have any thoughts on this I would be most grateful.
I should add that this is NOT a school assignment but something I'm trying to figure out for my work...
Many thanks,
sincerely,
JT.

hi,
Ignore my previous response. Try out this one. It should help you.
Lets take the example of EMP table (in Oracle's SCOTT Schema). The following is the description of the table.
SQL> desc emp
Name Null? Type
EMPNO NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
ENAME VARCHAR2(10)
JOB VARCHAR2(9)
MGR NUMBER(4)
HIREDATE DATE
SAL NUMBER(7,2)
COMM NUMBER(7,2)
DEPTNO NUMBER(2)
SQL> select ename from emp;
ENAME
SMITH
ALLEN
WARD
JONES
MARTIN
BLAKE
CLARK
SCOTT
KING
TURNER
ADAMS
JAMES
FORD
MILLER
Say, the ArrayList contains 3 names CLARK,KING & MILLER. You want to loop through the ArrayList for the ENAME values.
First construct a string like below from the ArrayList.
"ename in 'CLARK' OR ename in 'KING' or ename in 'MILLER'";
Append this string to the normal SELECT Query
Query :
select ename from emp where ename in 'CLARK' OR ename in 'KING' or ename in 'MILLER'
Here you get the desired output & thats pretty fast because you just do it once !!!
SQL> select ename from emp where ename in 'CLARK' OR ename in 'KING' or ename in 'MILLER';
ENAME
CLARK
KING
MILLER
you can extend this to your Query also.
thanks,
Sriram

Using where clause with like

Hi all,
im trying to set a block default where clause in the pre-query trigger of my block "customer_settlement" , to query the records that exist in a customers table like this, where the customer_name is variable based on the value entered by the user in enter-query mode before hitting the F8 key , the statement is :
set_block_property( 'customer_settlement' , default_where ,
' fk_cust_code in ( select customer_code from customers where customer_name like %' || :customer_settlement.customer_name ||'% )' );
the query doesnt work and giving me an error " unable to perform query" , notice that :customer_settlement.customer_name is an item in the block , the user change it and would like to query upon it , and its not a base table item on customer_settlement block its on customers table only . I tried all combinations of '%' and || but it seems that oracle can't see the value In the customer_name field.
any help is highly thanked.
im using Oracle form 9.0.4 and Oracle 10g Db.
Regards,
IKQ

Hi,
does this work ?
set_block_property( 'customer_settlement' , default_where ,
' fk_cust_code in ( select customer_code from customers where customer_name like '''%' || :customer_settlement.customer_name ||'%''' )' );
Frank

Select ename from emp where ename like LIKE 's%';
