Select / extractValue and Datatype

Database: Oracle 9.2.0.1.0
I am selecting from "XML Schema Validating" data stored in column of XMLTYPE datatype.
SELECT
extractvalue(value(t), '/path1/element1') DateVal1,
extractvalue(value(t), '/path1/element2/@attribute') Date2
FROM XML_TABLE A,
TABLE (
xmlsequence (extract(A.XML_COLUMN,'path0/path1'))) t;
Returned values DateVal1, Date2 are strings and not of date datatype. Registered schema for the above element and attribute is of date datatype. How can I retain datatype in my select statement?
Any additional input will be appreciated.

Please see thread at
any relationship between extractvalue's return type and sqltype?

Select extractValue returns nothing - HELP!

My xml document in my XMLType table looks like this:

My query is:
select extractValue(object_value, '/ECHOMetrics/OrderMetrics/OrderItemMetric/product') from echoxml;
However, I keep getting an emtpy result. What am I doing wrong?

One other question. I've searched the forum on XMLTable and can't find what I'm looking for. Using my xml file below, how can I use XMLTable to get the data and column names into a relation table or view? I've tried the following but get no rows returned:
SELECT echo2."product"
FROM echoxml,
XMLTABLE('/ECHOMetrics'

into sFieldEnd
from duali have just:
""I run it in pl/sql procedure and select it into the string variable, i expect in my string chr(13)||(10).
How can i get in sFieldEnd value chr(13)||chr(10) ?

Why not do something like
declare

sFieldEnd varchar2(4000);
begin
v_mystring := ' ''||chr(13)||chr(10)||'' ';
sFieldEnd := v_mystring;

Selecting a Long datatype

I have created a select statement and saved it to the variable sql_str. I then Open the cursor "OPEN v_cursor FOR sql_str;".
One of the columns in the select statement has a datatype of LONG. I fetch the column into a variable that I have declared as Long. I get the following error: ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype.
What am I doing wrong?

Diff b/w select endselect and select into table............

what is the difference b/w

Akshitha..

Hi,
When ever u want to append data into the workarea then use select ... endselect. When u r appending data into the internal table then use select. Also when u use select single then also use only select.
Eg: Using only Select
data : begin of itab occurs 0,
lifnr like lfa1-lifnr,
end of itab.
select single lifnr from lfa1 into itab.
data itab like lfa1 occurs 0 with header line.
select * from lfa1 into table itab.
Eg: Using Select .. endselect.
data : itab like lfa1 occurs 0,
wa like lfa1.
select * from lfa1 into wa.
append wa to itab.
endselect.

XML extractvalue and NULL result-Problem

I've got a very strange problem: One select gets restults in my development-database, the same select in production retrieves NULL.
The following sql-construct:
SELECT (
CASE
    WHEN personkey!=-1
    THEN
      ( SELECT extractvalue( v.xml, '/p:PersonData/p:TypedPostalAddress[@id="' ||<string> || '"]/p:PostalAddress/p:PostalCode', .....')
      FROM <tbl1>,<tbl2>
      WHERE tbl1.id=tbl2.id)
    ELSE
      ( SELECT 'no person' FROM dual )
END ) adress,
FROM <tbl3>
WHERE <tbl3>.personkey!=-1
When I use a view containing an outer join in the ELSE-Condition of the case I'm not getting a result in production, but I do in development (same data, same oracle-version, but other instance), but when I use a view without an outer join in the else-Condition, I'm getting results also in production. The column "personkey" is not nullable.
Does anyone got an idea what could be wrong with this SQL?
Thanks in advance for help!

Additional Information:
When resolving the CASE to a "union all" query, I am having the following result:
query1 is working
query2 is working
joining both queries with union all => the result of the first query (with the extractvalue) is NULL, the second query is still working.

Select all and deselect all in table control

Hi experts,
I want to make the select all and deselect all options in my table control.
But i can't able to do that one. Kindly suggest me how to do that one.
one more thing, if i select some rows in the table control, and press save it should be saved in some other table. how can i implement that one.
Waiting for ur reply.
Regards...
Arun.

Hi Arun,
In the context node that you bind to the table, set the cardinality as 0..n and selection as 0..n. In the UI element Table, set the property selectionMode as 'multi'. Then a toggle button for select/deselect all will appear automatically in your table. You can see it in the top left corner.
For your second question, after selecting the elemets and pressing 'save', in your event handler, do a get_selected_elements( ) on your node. This will return you a set of context elements. Loop through each element and do a get_static_attributes to get the rows. Then you can append these rows to another internal table and bind it to the context. Bind your second table to this node. If the two tables are in different views, the context nodes need to be present in the component controller and mapped to the views.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Nithya

Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download

Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download from other stores. Why do am i forced to try to nread Japanese when I have selected English as my language. The price for Downloads is no different and even if it was I am happy to pay. This also applies to Movie rental which is crazy and extremely restrictive. I a supposed GLOBAL community why does Apple do this.

You can buy ONLY from the itunes store of your country of residence (As proven by valid billing address of credit card) and ONLY while inside the borders of that country.
These are the terms of the itunes store.

Thanks Billy, Would you be able to suggest any other faster method to load the data into table. Thanks,
As Mark responded - it all depends on the actual data to load, structure and source/origin. On my busiest database, I am loading on average 30,000 rows every second from data in external files.
However, the data structures are just that - structured. Logical.
Having a data structure with 100's of fields (columns in a SQL table), raise all kinds of questions about how sane that structure is, and what impact it will have on a physical data model implementation.
There is a gross misunderstanding by many when it comes to performance and scalability. The prime factor that determines performance is not how well you code, what tools/language you use, the h/w your c ode runs on, or anything like that. The prime factor that determines perform is the design of the data model - as it determines the complexity/ease to use the data model, and the amount of I/O (the slowest of all db operations) needed to effectively use the data model.

Report with select list and link to call another report

Hi,
I am trying to do 2 reports (REPORT1 and REPORT2).
The first is a summary report (REPORT1).
This report will display sales figures for the year. Now, I need to have a select list in the result set that will have 2 options, depending on which option is chosen, I want to call REPORT2 with the select list as a parameter. How can I do this ?
Let me try to explain what I did.
I created REPORT1 on Page 100
SELECT YEAR, sum(YTD_SALES), APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(1,'DEPARTMENT','Department;DEPARTMENT,Division;DIVISION') Drilldown FROM SALES_ANALYSIS WHERE YEAR > 2000
GROUP BY YEAR ORDER BY YEAR
I created 2 hidden items namely P100_YEAR and P100_DRILLDOWN
I also made the column YEAR as a link and specified both P100_YEAR and P100_DRILLDOWN as parameters to be passed.
Next, I created REPORT2
SELECT YEAR, DECODE(:P100_DRILLDOWN, 'Department', department, 'Division', Division) dept_div, sum(YTD_SALES) ytd_sales
FROM SALES_ANALYSIS
WHERE YEAR = :P100_YEAR
When I run Report 1, it's fine, when I choose either Department or Division from the Select List and click on the link to call Report 2, report 2 is displayed, but the value being passed for P100_DRILLDOWN is not correct and as a result, I am unable to get correct results for Report 2
Am I missing something ? Are there any alternate ways to do what I'm doing ?
Thanks,
Ashok

Hi Ashok,
The link definition will not know the value selected in the list as it is constructed only when the page is being rendered. You would need to create some javascript to handle this. I've done that here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:182]
The link on the EMPNO column has been defined in the HTML Expression setting for the column instead of the Link section. The HTML Expression that I have used is:
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:doDrilldown('#EMPNO#',this);">#EMPNO#</a>And, in the page's HTML Header setting, I have added in:
<script type="text/javascript">
function doDrilldown(empno,group)
var g;
var p = group.parentNode;
while (p.tagName != "TR")
p = p.parentNode;
var x = p.getElementsByTagName("SELECT");
if (x.length > 0)
g = x[0].value;
var url = "f?p=&APP_ID.:183:&SESSION.::::P183_EMPNO,P183_GROUP:" + empno + "," + g;
document.location.href = url;
</script>When a link is clicked, the doDrilldown function is called passing in the EMPNO value and the "this" object (which identifies the object triggering the call). The function starts from that object and goes up in the HTML tag tree to the nearest TR tag (the row tag that the link is on) and then finds the first SELECT list item on the row and gets its value. It then constructs a URL using this and the EMPNO value and performs a redirect to the second page (page 183 in this example).

Need to have pop up window in selection screen and capture the user action.

Hello Friends,
                     I have a requirement, that need to show a pop up window after execution, and to get the action from user using a Push button.

HT4972 I have a second generation iPad and can't clear the items in my update list. Is there a way to do this. I select them and it just says iS05 required

I have a second generation iPad and can't clear the items in my update list. Is there a way to do this. I select them and it just says iS05 required

There is no way to clear the update notifications - unless you delete the apps completely from the iPad and from iTunes on your computer.
Obviously you want to continue to use the apps, so you either have to update the iPad and get the newer versions - or just ignore the update notifications. They will not go away.

How do I scroll down to see list of selected audiobooks and albums to sync with my iPhone in iTunes 11?

I am running Windows 7 and using iTunes 11. I have an iPhone 4.
In the past I have been able to sync selected albums and audiobooks with my iPhone using iTunes with no problems, but today when I tried to add an audiobook from my computer to my iPhone, I could not see it (or the audiobooks previously added to my iPhone) listed as a choice under Books --> Sync Audiiobooks --> Selected Audiobooks.
I connected my iPhone to my laptop via USB. iTunes 11 comes up. My iPhone syncs automatically.
I click the iPhone device in the sidebar and the list of choices (Summary, Info, Apps, Tones, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books, and Photos) appears across the top of the main part of iTunes to the right of the sidebar.
When I click on Music from this list of choices, I have selected Sync Music and Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.
Under this I see my list of Playlists and the ones I have checked. I also see my list of Artists and the ones I have checked.
Under these two items, I see the words Genres and Albums, but I cannot scroll down to see them (not even to see the ones I have previously selected to be synched with my iPhone).
When I click on Books I see that Sync Audiobooks is checked and Selected audiobooks is selected, but I cannot see the list of audiobooks from which I can choose the ones I want to add to my iPhone and I cannot see the audiobooks that I previously selected and that are currently on my iPhone. I see the words Audiobooks and Parts, but I cannot scroll below these words to see the list of audiobooks that are on my laptop.
Any help in resolving these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Eddie

I think you've tried that though.
I had similar issue a few months ago - I think it didn't work unless I did it when the music was actually playing in the now playing section.
