Select from DB Tables with String

Hello Gurus,
I created following 'simple' DDIC Table:
CLNT     MANDT     CLNT     3     0     Client
ID        ID     NUMC     8     0     Object ID of Business Event Offered
DATE   DATUM     DATS     8     0     Date
STR     (none*)            STRING                0     String
... where field str has the predefined type string!
When I now want to search the string (I know it would be very slow, but that's ok in the first step, later on we create an index table or sth like that)
select * from ztas254_str_test
    into table lt_str_test
    where str like '%test%'.
on activation of the program I get the error
"The field "str" is a long string, so it cannot be used in, where on or having conditions."
How can I directly select/search the str field in from the table? Besides from the like condition I tried to search with a range and IN. But the same error occurs.
I'm testing on an ECC6.0 SP12.
If someone ever tried somethink like that please let me know!
Thanks in advance,
Alej
PS: * Points will be rewarded! *

By now solved via an index table.

Hi,
Did you copy that sample from some demo?
The part "<XML Path>" is meant to be replaced by a real XPath fragment.
Here, I think you may just want this :
select * from category
where existsNode(xmlrecord, '/row[c24="SA0010001"]') = 1;Edit : OK, just seen your previous post and the example given

Select from 2 tables with common key and than left join(unique result)

Hi,
I have 2 tables that have a common id (Customer_id) and I have a third table which contain her key consist of 3 column ( Customer_id , rms_customer_id,billind_tree_id) and have the manager_name field
I am using a left join because not all the customers have a manager.
I need to take only the manager_name field from the left join but the problem is that I am not getting a unique name results because the customer_id is not the primary key(only part of )
so I have use the following :
left join
( select * from ACCOUNT_Manager am where
rms_customer_id <= all (select rms_customer_id from ACCOUNT_Manager am2 where
am2.customer_id = am.customer_id )) am
on c.ID = am.CUSTOMER_ID (C is one of the first 2 tables with the ID as key)
Is there anyway more efficient of doing it ?
Thanks

Please consider the following when you post a question. This would help us help you better
1. New features keep coming in every oracle version so please provide Your Oracle DB Version to get the best possible answer.
You can use the following query and do a copy past of the output.
select * from v$version 2. This forum has a very good Search Feature. Please use that before posting your question. Because for most of the questions
that are asked the answer is already there.
3. We dont know your DB structure or How your Data is. So you need to let us know. The best way would be to give some sample data like this.
I have the following table called sales
with sales
as
      select 1 sales_id, 1 prod_id, 1001 inv_num, 120 qty from dual
      union all
      select 2 sales_id, 1 prod_id, 1002 inv_num, 25 qty from dual
select *
from sales 4. Rather than telling what you want in words its more easier when you give your expected output.
For example in the above sales table, I want to know the total quantity and number of invoice for each product.
The output should look like this
Prod_id   sum_qty   count_inv
1         145       2 5. When ever you get an error message post the entire error message. With the Error Number, The message and the Line number.
6. Next thing is a very important thing to remember. Please post only well formatted code. Unformatted code is very hard to read.
Your code format gets lost when you post it in the Oracle Forum. So in order to preserve it you need to
use the {noformat}{noformat} tags.
The usage of the tag is like this.
<place your code here>\
7. If you are posting a *Performance Related Question*. Please read
   {thread:id=501834} and {thread:id=863295}.
   Following those guide will be very helpful.
8. Please keep in mind that this is a public forum. Here No question is URGENT.
   So use of words like *URGENT* or *ASAP* (As Soon As Possible) are considered to be rude.

How to select all the colomns_names from a table, with their datatypes ..

hi :)
i would like to know, how to select in SQL all the columns names from a table with their datatypes so that i get something like this :
Table 1 : table_name
the column ID has the Datatype NUMBER
the column name has the Datatype Varchar2
Table 2 : table_name
the column check has the Datatype NUMBER
the column air has the Datatype Varchar2
and that has to be for all the tables that i own ! ..
P. S : i m trying to do this with java, so it s would be enough if you just tell me how to select all the tables_names with all their colums_names and with all their datatypes ! ..
thank you :)
i ve heard it can be done with USER_TABLES .. but i have no idea how :( ..

Hi,
The data dictionary view USER_TAB_COLUMNS has one row for every column in every table in your schema. The columns TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME and DATA_TYPE have all the information you need.
Another data dictionary view, USER_TABLES, may be useful, too. It has one row pre table.

SSMS is not listing table and views objects though the objects are listed when I execute TSql string "SELECT * FROM sys.Tables"

I have a db, call it xyz.mdb
It suddenly is that SSMS is not listing the table objects nor the Views. SELECT * FROM sys.Tables and SELECT * FROM sys.Views work very fine. But when I click on the tables node, on Objects Explorer, Only the Systems Tables and File Tables folders
show.
Other DBs on same SQL instance do not show same problem. They are all working very fine.
I have backed up and restored this db on other computers and the behaviour is the same. Incidentally right-clicking the db and clicking Properties throws up this error message.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you have a question, post a little sample data in a form that people can use to re-create the problem and test their ideas.
For example:

,     char_type     VARCHAR2 (10)
,     effdt          DATE

     VALUES     (0000651005, 'BASE',    TO_DATE ('15-AUG-2007', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 'YES');
INSERT INTO table_x (sa_id, char_type, effdt,                          char_val)
     VALUES     (0000651005, 'BASE',    TO_DATE ('13-NOV-2009', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 'NO');

     VALUES     (0010973671, 'BASE',    TO_DATE ('18-JUN-2010', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 'NO');
COMMIT;Also, post the results that you want from that data. I'm not certain, but I think you want these results:

    651005 13-NOV-09
10973671 18-JUN-10That is, the latest effdt for each distinct sa_id.

Reading Data from a Table With an Expert

Hi all - I'm trying to write an Expert in OWB that would read data from a table and create a new table based on that information. I have the table creation part down, but how can I read data from a table with an Expert? From what I've read, Experts only deal with metadata, and there is no mechanism in Experts to actually read data in the tables. Does OraTcl work in Experts? Has anyone ever came across this problem, and if so, how did you solve it? Thanks in advance for your time! - Don

Hi Don
Can also use Java and JDBC from within Tcl, see the routines in this file below, take modify or whatever;
http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/ombora.tcl
source <dir>\ombora.tcl
set g_user scott
set g_upwd zzzzzz
set g_hostname localhost
set g_port 1521
set g_srvname ora111
oraconnect $g_user $g_upwd $g_hostname:$g_port:$g_srvname
oraselect "select * from emp" ""
As well as dumping the results to stdout (you probably want to comment that part out and change any other part you don't like), g_res is a ResultSet object you can use to do whatever.
Cheers

How to populate a table based on a row selection from another table.

Hi, i just started to use ADF BC and Faces. Could some one help me or point me a solution on the following scenario .
By using a search component , a table is being displayed as a search result. If i select any row in the resulted table , i need to populate an another table at the bottom of the same page from another view. These two tables are related by primary key . May i know how to populate a table based on a row selection from another table. Thanks
ganesh

I understand your requirement and the tutorial doesn't talk about Association between the views so that you can create a Master-Detail or in DB parlance, a Parent-Child relationship.
I will assume that we are dealing with two entities here: Department and Employees where a particular Department has many Employees and hence a Parent-Child relationship.
Firstly, you need to create an Association between the two Entities - Department and Employees. You can do that by right clicking on the model's entity and then associating the two entities with the appropriate key say, DepartmentId.
Once you have done that, you need to link the two entities in the View section with this Association that you created. Then go to AppModule and make sure that in the Available View Objects: 'EmployeesView' appears under 'DepartmentView' as "EmployeesView via <link you created>". Shuttle the 'DepartmentView' to the right, Data Model and then shuttle
"EmployeesView via <link you created>" to the right, Data Model under 'DepartmentView'.
This will then be reflected in your Data Controls. After that, you simply would have to drag this View into your page as a Master-Detail form...and then when you run this page, any row selected in the Master table, would display the data in the Detail table.
Also, refer to this link: [Master-Detail|http://baigsorcl.blogspot.com/2010/03/creating-master-detail-form-in-adf.html]
Hope this helps.

How to do a SELECT from different tables into an internal table?

How to do a SELECT from different tables into an internal table?
I want to select data from MARA, MARC and ZPERSON and populate my ITAB_FINAL
REPORT zinternal_table.
TABLES:
mara,
marc,
zperson.
TYPES:
BEGIN OF str_table1,
v_name LIKE zperson-zname,
v_matnr LIKE marc-matnr,
v_emarc LIKE marc-emarc,
v_werks_d LIKE marc-werks_d,
v_dstat LIKE marc-dstat,
END OF str_table,
i_table1 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF str_table1.
DATA:
BEGIN OF str_table2,
v_mandt LIKE mara-mandt,
v_ernam LIKE mara-ernam,
v_laeda LIKE mara-laeda,
END OF str_table2,
itab_final LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF str_table2.

first find the link between mara , marc and zperson , if u have link to 3 tables then u can jus write a join and populate the table u want ( thats final table with all the fields).
u defenitely have alink between mara and marc so join them and retrieve all data into one internal table.
then for all the entries in that internal table retrieve data from zperson into another internal table.
then loop at one internal table
read another internal table where key equals in both the tables.
finally assign fileds if sy-subrc = 0.
gs_finaltable-matnr = gs_table-matnr
etc...
and finally append gs_finaltable to gt_finaltable.
there u go ur final table has all the data u want.

How to avoid ORA-3113 when selecting from XMLTYPE table

Hi,
If I register an XML-schema, Oracle automatically creates a table xxxxxx_tab of XMLTYPE. (I use Oracle 9.2.0.1)
When I do a DESCRIBE or a SELECT from this table I get the error: 'ORA-03113:
end-of-file on communication channel' and my connection is dropped.
I opened a TAR for this and Oracle says: 'It is an internal bug so cannot be viewed in metalink. This is fixed in release 10i.' (do they mean oracle DB rel 10i, or a new version of XDK?)
I saw an example in Oracle Magazine (Jan
2003) "Make XML Native and Relative" about Oracle 9i Rel 2 and XML. As you can see in codeListing 7, the author also does a select from such a
table (CD331_tab): Why doesn't he have any problems?
Is there a workaround for this bug? What's the purpose of being able to automatically upload XML-data to a registered schema if you can't do a select of the data?
Thank you!

It appears that the XML Schema is not entirely valid. Specifically, the definition of element "DeviceCategory" has two definitions of element "Audio" appearing within a <choice> model i.e. something like :
<element name="DeviceCategory">
<choice>
<sequence>
<element name="Audio">
</sequence>
<sequence>
<element name="Audio">
</sequence>
</choice>
This is disallowed by XML Schema spec per. the Unique Particle Attribution Constraint. The general idea is that a XML Schema describes a determinstic content model i.e. schema processor can always unambiguosly determine the matching declaration when it encounters an element. However that's not the case with the declaration above. On encoutering "Audio", it could match either the first or the second declaration of the element. Hence the error.
You will have to rework the schema to avoid this constraint. One mechanism could be to define complexType and their restrictions.

Select from a table from other schema

Hi,
I want to make a select from a table how is into other Schema and into other instance.
form example, if I have _2 schemas (in diferent instances)_:
SCHEMA1 =
*(DESCRIPTION =*
*(ADDRESS =*
*(PROTOCOL = TCP)*
*(HOST = XXX.XXX.XXX.XX1)*
*(PORT = 1560)*
*(CONNECT_DATA =*
*(SERVER = DEDICATED)*
*(SERVICE_NAME = SCHEMA1)*
SCHEMA2 =
*(DESCRIPTION =*
*(ADDRESS =*
*(PROTOCOL = TCP)*
*(HOST = XXX.XXX.XXX.XX2)*
*(PORT = 1560)*
*(CONNECT_DATA =*
*(SERVER = DEDICATED)*
*(SERVICE_NAME = SCHEMA2)*
and into SCHEMA2 there is a table TABLE_A.
If I`m connected into SCHEMA1:
how can I do to make a select from the TABLE_A?
thanks very much.

1) Referring to an entry in the tnsnames.ora file as a "schema" as you have here with schema1 and schema2 is likely to be confusing. You have multiple schemas in the same database-- in this case, you appear to be trying to query tables in a different database. If we try to answer using your TNS aliases "schema1" and "schema2", there is likely to be a great deal of confusion between schemas/ databases/ and TNS aliases. So I will assume that your tnsnames.ora file actually reads
TNS_ALIAS1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS =
      (PROTOCOL = TCP)
      (HOST = HOST1)
      (PORT = 1560)
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = DB1)
TNS_ALIAS2 =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS =
      (PROTOCOL = TCP)
      (HOST = HOST2)
      (PORT = 1560)
(CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = DB2)
)2) Given the TNS aliases above, assuming that we are talking about the tnsnames.ora file on HOST1, you would need to create a database link from DB1 to DB2. You can either specify a fixed username and password for the database link or you can specify that the connection happens as the current user (which assumes that the passwords are synchronized between the databases).
CREATE DATABASE LINK to_db2
CONNECT TO username_on_db2
IDENTIFIED BY password_on_db2
USING 'TNS_ALIAS2'3) Assuming the database link is in place
SELECT *
FROM schema2.table_name@to_db2Justin

Selecting from two tables and confirming from them despites they not relate

Please I need a query to select from two tables that are not related to each other.
I also want to confirm data's as in verify wether what the user has entered is in accordance with what is in the tables
Examples
the first table is named "Card" and the second table is named "Student_Details"
Card table contains a column named "Pin_Number".
The Student_Details table contains fields such as Exam_Number, Name, Age, Sex.
The user has to Enter the Pin_Number which has to be confirmed in the Card table and Exam_Number which has to be confirmed in the Student_Details table and verify that both data's are correct.
Please I need the SQL and PL/SQL queries for this problem.
Thanks

Hi,
I think you need two different queries
You can write a procedure like:
create or replace procedure p1 (p_pin_number number, p_exam_number)
is
r_card_row            card%rowtype;
r_student_details     student_details%rowtype;
cursor c1 is
select *
    from card
   where pin_number = p_pin_number;
cursor c2 is
select *
    from student_details
   where exam_number = p_exam_number;
begin
open c1;
    loop
      fetch c1 into r_card_row;
      exit when c1%notfound;
      .... do whatever you want..... and the samething you can do with other cursor
    end loop;
close c1;
end p1;Hope this helps

PL/SQL: ORA-22992: cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables

Dear ALL,
My O/S is Redhatlinux 5.2 and i had Migrated my Oracle databse to 11g2. But after that while i am retrieving records through dblinks from one of my other Oracle 9.2.0.8 databse it's throwing the error : PL/SQL: ORA-22992: cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables.* This error i am getting in TOAD as well as SQL Developer.
Can anybody tell me how to fix this error ? Because am not able to get the records.
Also am getting another error during retrieving data from some of my tables after migrating i.e the table which having CLOB data type while am accessing to retrieve the records using select query it's throwing the error :
+(The following error has occurred:+
A query with LOB's requires OCI8 mode, but OCI7 mode is used.)
If anyone having any idea kindly share.
Thanks and Regards
Biswa

Hi,
Ya what u sent that is fine. But already am using one procudure which is accessing LOB data from another databse through DBlink and working fine. But there Both the databse are 9.2.0.8.
But while am executing the same procedure in oracle 11g where the Dblink accessing the data from Oracle 9i , there am getting this error.
Kindly tell if u know any resolution.

Select from multiple tables without join statement

Hey Gurus,
I would like to make a select from a multiple tables to check if there is any reference to my data. I would like to do it with some elegancy, but I don't know how.
Is in abap sql possible to do it only with the select statement?
Or I was also think about a solution that I should fill some data structure with all of the tables which I want to select from and then just loop that data structure and do the select seperately from all of the tables. I just need to check if it founds some results, so no need to store it. If this solution would be fine what data structure should I use?
Or can tell me what would be the best for this?
My code for select from one table, which I want to make for multiple tables:
SELECT SINGLE id_kniznice FROM zbr_t_autori INTO wa_id
       WHERE id_kniznice EQ ls_extract-zview-id_kniznice.
     IF sy-dbcnt > 0.
       MESSAGE i000(zbr_msgc_lib).
       ls_extract-flags-vim_mark = '*'.
       MODIFY extract FROM ls_extract.
ENDIF.
Thank you for any posts.
Regards,
Robert

And there we go again...
Read this topic:
For All Entries is NOT better than INNER JOIN in most cases
And this one:
inner join vs for all entries
Also that one:
Re: LOOP AT vs INNER JOIN
JOINs are really better than for all entries in most cases. Problem is people tend to ignore basic things like using pks or indexes while making them.
