Select query case insensitive for data type VARG

Hi Experts,
I am having trouble in retrieving the results from a table using select query.
I have a table (Users) as below
Name (VARG)        Number(INTEGER)
Murthy             0001
murthy             0002
when I am querying the table with select query as -
select * from Users where Name = 'Murthy'
this query is returning only one record which matches with capital letter of 'M', though both the record names are same.
I have seen in IBM forum to make the select query as case insensitive using the UPPER key word, I have tried this as below -
select * from Users where UPPER(Name) = 'MURTHY'
But this query is not working in my case...
My DB2 version is 8.1.5
Can any one please help in fixing this problem...
Thanks in Advance,
Murthy

Hi Murthy,
your query is the right to one to select both records. I don't see why it doesn't work.
Are you sure you posted the query that you have executed ?
What is the result of this query ?
But i don't really know how an VARG (Varying-length graphic string) will work. It could be that the UPPER-Function will work in another way as it works on VARCHAR.

Kay

Clues about query's - Search for date type at INBOX

Hello Everyone,
At IC Webclient, does anyone experiment to add a new search date type at INBOX, at "search for date" search parameter?
I added a new date type at Date Management, ZDATA_PR.
When I try to assemble the query parts, I use something like this:
CL CL_CRM_QUERYAUI_RUN_BTIL
METH READ_BUSINESS_TRANSACTIONS
CALL METHOD cl_crm_report_qupart=>get_qupart_by_token
    EXPORTING
      iv_token     = 'DAT'
      iv_date_type = 'ZDATA_PAR'
      iv_from      = ls_query_aui-from
      iv_to        = ls_query_aui-to
    IMPORTING
      ev_qupart    = ls_qupart_range-querypart.
APPEND ls_qupart_and   TO lt_query.
APPEND ls_qupart_range TO lt_query.
However, I'm rewarded with an error message telling me that I have problems with the query.
Does anyone can give me clues how to perform this action? I'm clueless and there's not almost no information about this...
Thanks and Kind Regards
Bruno Garcia

Just to solve a mistake at example code:
CALL METHOD cl_crm_report_qupart=>get_qupart_by_token
EXPORTING
iv_token = 'DAT'
iv_date_type = 'ZDATA_PR'
iv_from = ls_query_aui-from
iv_to = ls_query_aui-to
IMPORTING
ev_qupart = ls_qupart_range-querypart.
APPEND ls_qupart_and TO lt_query.
APPEND ls_qupart_range TO lt_query.
does anyone has a suggestion or a clue to give?
Thanks
Bruno

An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted).. Query execution failed for data set

Hi All,
I'm facing a strange problem..
I've developed few reports. they are working fine in develop environment. after successfull testing they were published on web.
in web version, all reports are executing for first time.. if I change any of parameters values or without chaning also..
if I press "View Report" following error occurs..

For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
please suggest any alternative ways to overcome this issue
thanks in adv.

in my case the problem is
one virtual machine is for developers
other for testers
in developers i created a report, then save like *.rdl and copy to testers machine, does not work there
the error what testers get is

Select query based LOV for tabular form attributes

Hi HTMLDB Team,
Congrats u all for the new release of HTMLDB in htmldb.oracle.com.
I badly need a solution of the below problem.
Say , i have table called user_col_comments now i want to display the table_name ,column_name and comments in a tabular form.I displayed only one row for the tabular form.Now i create a select query based LOV for attribute table_name where i got all table_name in drop down list.
Point is that after selecting any data from drop down table list i want to get the corresponding fields to be populated in column_name attributes.How can i wrote the select query based LOV for the attibute column_name.
I wrote it as 'select column_name d,column_name r from user_col_comments where table_name=:TABLE_NAME Its not working?
Similarly i want same thing to display for comments after matching both table_name and column_name.
Any solution to get rid of those problem will be highly appreciable...
If u need my htmldb.oracle.com userid and password to solve the problem i will sure let u email it.
Cheers,
Eman

hi rchalton,
can u plz little bit more clearer .I know hopefully u can imagine the problem and may u guide me thru proper way.....One think i understand that there must be multiple process and submit but "only when..." that u have said i cant understand that part........
U are welcome to give me proper solution.....
Thanks for the reply ....atleast one can pay hid to me.....

[Q] Using viewCriteria for Date type

To Query data, I used ViewCriteria.
But it works well for Varchar2, Number type.
But it does not work for Date type.
for example
If I set variables like the below, it works,
attrName = "OrdName";
attrValue = "Nick";
But, If I set variables like the below, it does not work
attrName = "AppDate";
attrValue = "04.5.12";
ViewCriteria vc = order.createViewCriteria();
ViewCriteriaRow vcr = vc.createViewCriteriaRow();
vcr.setAttribute(attrName, attrValue);
vc.addElement(vcr);
order.applyViewCriteria(vc);
order.executeQuery();
Can I solve this problem ?

using a custom expression in the view criteria, ex.
vcr.setAttribute("DateField", "LIKE TO_DATE('" + dateField.toString() + "', 'yyyy-mm-dd')");
similarly, you can use other expressions to remove the default BC4J problems w/ dates (>, <, between) - At least I know you can't use = to get it to work right.
The default handling of BC4J is to say = TO_DATE(whatever you put in the value portion) where it needs to be LIKE to work properly - for some reason - probably a patch is available for it.

In oracle rac, If user query a select query and in processing data is fetched but in the duration of fetching the particular node is evicted then how failover to another node internally?

In oracle rac, If user query a select query and in processing data is fetched but in the duration of fetching the particular node is evicted then how failover to another node internally?

The query is re-issued as a flashback query and the client process can continue to fetch from the cursor. This is described in the Net Services Administrators Guide, the section on Transparent Application Failover.

Domain for data type in Oracle 8i database

Hi Sir,
Does Oracle database supports domain creation for data type.
for example, can I create a domain called shorttext which is VARCHAR2(50). Then when I specify a data type for a column in table, then I just declare the column as domain.
eg. address SHORTTEXT;
--where SHORTTEXT is a domain.
How is this implemented in Oracle database and supported by front end tools like Oracle Developer 6.0.
Hope someone can provide some clear explanation on this.
Thanks.

Query execution failed for data set

Hi,
We are using SQL 2005 server for generating reports.When we ran the reports it taking so much time after some time it shows this error:---
ReportProcessing.ProcessingAbortedException: An error has occurred during report processing. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: Query execution failed for data set ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
Can you help me out.

My team is also facing similar problem. The RS trace logs report:
w3wp!processing!13!9/26/2007-15:31:23:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: Query execution failed for data set 'msdb'., ;
Info: Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: Query execution failed for data set 'msdb'. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
Operation cancelled by user.
In our system, Report Server and Database are on different machines. Report Server access database using a service account who has stored proc execute permissions on database.
Problem comes only if the query execution time exceeds 5 mins. Otherwise the report gets generated successfully.
I suspected this to be some timeout issue. But I have checked that all timeout settings in rs config files are as default.
Any pointers?
Thanks

Date type-specific Customizing missing for date type ACTActPln

Hi all.
I'm using a Web Service obtained by copying the CRM 7.0 built-in WS APPTACTCRTRC.
I'm using it to create Appointments using an Adobe Interactive Form.
It goes everything fine (a Date is created in the system, with all the input data properly set) excepted the dates...
The WS uses two TIMESTAMPS, TIMESTAMP_FROM for StartDateTime and TIMESTAMP_TO for EndDateTime, whereas the GUI transaction to create Dates accepts dates and times in separated fields.
Going in Debug I can see that the execution ends with the following error, referred to the involved entity (CRM_APPOINTMENT):
Date type-specific Customizing missing for date type ACTActPln
CRM_APPOINTMENT uses date profile 0000000001 with three possible date types: ORDERACTUAL, ORDERPLANNED and ORDERPROPOSED and I cannot find anywhere date type ACTActPln (just to add it in customizing).
Is anyone able to enlight me?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
Well I was about to write that you should enter date in decimal format. but you already did that as mentioned in How to set a date in a Form where the bound date format is a decimal?
In response to following from above thread (copied for others to understand my response)
Hi all.
I'm successfully using the LiveCycle Designer and I've managed to remotely create Appointments using a CRM Web Service (a mere copy of APPTACTCRTRC).
The only problem I'm encountering is that I'm not able to set the dates/times (start and end of the appointment).
Dragging each of the two fields from the WSDL based Data Connection I obtain a Decimal Field limited to 15 digits.
How can I write a date and time in such a field?
I've tried with a retroverse date as YYYYMMDDHHmmss (for example, 20100301124500) but it does not work
(the appointment is indeed created, but with the start date and time fields filled with
the current date/time and the end date and time fields filled with the current date and time plus 10 minutes).
The retroverse date above is only 14 digit long, so, maybe, this is the problem.
But, given the field definition, I'm not able to fill a blank space between the date and the time.
I'm not able to put a dot either.
What should I do?
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
Alessandro
15 digit in UTC time format here is fraction of second so you should enter 201003011245000 (add one more zero).
14th Oct 2010 16:00 should be written as 201010141600000, so just try it and and see if it works, I guess if you do not supply end time then by default it will be starttime + 10 min but this is just guess.

Gourav

[Access 2010] Change default formats for data types

Whenever I import data, the default format for Boolean data types is "-1,0." I know how to subsequently change this format to "Yes/No," but I'd like to change the default
setting to "Yes/No." Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I found you post the same question in other place and got the advice. I agree with Mr. Kees suggestion. The data type is a build-in default setting with Access, we can't change it. We may try the workaround via VBA to test.

Selecting #of bits for data types in Java

hi,
i would like to know if we can constrain compiler on allocating memory to basic data types, such as int, float, short etc. i would like to read an exactly four byte integer into an int, 2 byte short into a short etc. i need to read these parameters exactly of their specified number of bytes - not more or less - as if i read anything more/less, i will be reading a part of other parameter.
i know that C allows us to do this by letting us to specify number of bits we like to allocate for each data type (for eg. unsigned int:16; means i need an unsigned int of exactly 16bits (2 bytes long) -no more and no less).
Is there anything similar i can do in Java?
any suggestion is greately appreciated.
Thanks,

All primitive types in Java are well-defined. In contrast to C/C++, an int in Java is allways 32 bits, using one's complement, a char is allways 16 bits etc.
Java does not give you direct acces to physical memory - that would compromise the basic design of Java.
You can read individual bytes from files, and you can do all the integer arithmetic in Java as you can in C/C++. To convert eg. fout bytes to one int, you could do the following:
byte b1= (some byte value),
     b2,
     b3,
     b4;
int i= (((b1 << 8) | b2 << 8) | b3 << 8) | b4;
b1 being the most significant byte, b4 being the least significant.
Did this answer you questions?

Need help regarding the maximum limit for data type

Hi,
this is Sravan. for my application am inserting the bulk data in XML format into a column of Database table.
the sample inserted XML data will be in format... like
'<ACC count = "10">
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
<Acc ac_no = "1111111111" cn_nr = "US" eflag = "Y" />
</ACC>'
this data in XML can have more than 1000 accounts.
now, i need to take a Parameter value from XML node and write into a file. for this i have written a procedure by looping the Nodes from XML data and building Dynamic Query like..
if nvl(v_int, 0) > 0 then
v_sql := '';
     for v_count in 1..v_int
     loop
     if v_sql is null then
          v_sql := 'select extractvalue(empdetails, ''/ACC/Acc' || v_count ||'/@ac_no'')||extractvalue(empdetails, ''/ACC/Acc' || v_count
||'/@cn_nr'')||extractvalue(empdetails, ''/ACC/Acc' || v_count ||'/@eflag'') string from sample1';
     elsif v_sql is not null then
               v_sql := v_sql || ' union all select extractvalue(empdetails, ''/ACC/Acc' || v_count ||'/@ac_no'')||extractvalue(empdetails, ''/ACC/Acc' || v_count
||'/@cn_nr'')||extractvalue(empdetails, ''/ACC/Acc' || v_count ||'/@eflag'') string from sample1';
          end if;
     end loop;
end if;
i will get this variable "v_int" from <ACC count = "10"> ACC count Attribute, here 10 is the value for v_int variable but in real time the variable value can be more than 1000.
at the time of Building Dynamic Query I make using the Variable v_SQL which is of Data Type "Long",
this variable stores dynamic query which is build at the time of executing procedure but this v_sql Variable is throughing Exception that ....
"numeric or value error Character String Buffer is Too Small"... but Long Data type will store upto 2GB..
this variable cant able to hold much data which is dynamically build.
will you please help me to resolve this issue Or will u suggest me another method to pick the data from XML column.
thanks,
sravan.

i changed the code, now its working fine.

Select query, case statment

Hi,
I have two tables Registration and Place.
"Registration" table has Name and Registration_id column and "place" table has Registration_id, task_id and state columns. So both tables have inner join on Registration_id column.
now one Registration_id has two task_id
so for example,
Name
Registration_id
task_id
State
Vicky
101
11
NY
Vicky
101
12
CA
Now in output table "Person", I have 2 columns, one is Birth and one is Death.
So one person has 1 Registration_id associated and that Registration_id has two records in "Place" table,
Now condition is like this, for same Registration_id if task_id = 11 put state value in Birth column and if task_id = 12 put state value in Death column.
So for example output (Select query for Person table)should looks like below,
Name
Registration_id
Birth
Death
Vicky
101
NY
CA
So please tell me select query for this output from above 2 source tables which I use to insert records into "Person" table. (Just for information - I have 12 source tables and there are many columns I have to select from these source tables
and this is the part of that select statement where I am stuck for now). Please let me know if you need any more detail on this.
I think, we have to write subquery in select statement. like,
Select
Birth =(select
STATE from PLACE pl inner join on Registration R ON R.Registration_id = pl.Registration_id
where
TASK_ID = 136)
, Death
=(select
STATE from PLACE pl inner join on Registration R ON R.Registration_id = pl.Registration_id
where
TASK_ID = 141)
, other columns
From other source tables.
Thank you in advance.
Vicky

Problem in using OCIBindByName for date type column

Hi,
Can you please guide me about my following problem?
I am trying to fetch the data from system table "FLOWS_020100.WWV_FLOW_ACTIVITY_LOG1$" in Oracle Express edition 10.2.0.3 database, using the OCI library on Windows with C++
This table has a TIMESTAMP column of date type.
I've the following query as below:
select TIME_STAMP from FLOWS_020100.WWV_FLOW_ACTIVITY_LOG1$ where TIME_STAMP > to_date('31/OCT/12 23:59:59', 'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS') order by TIME_STAMP asc;
For this, first I am preparing the query as below:
select TIME_STAMP from FLOWS_020100.WWV_FLOW_ACTIVITY_LOG1$ where TIME_STAMP > :PKVAL order by TIME_STAMP asc;
Before calling OCIExecute(), I am setting the PKVAL buffer to following value:
"to_date('31/OCT/12 23:59:59', 'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS') "
& calling the OCIBindByName function with data type as SQLT_DATE.
But when the OCIExecute is called, my program crashes with access violation
Can you please guide me what is the correct way to pass the date value in query to OCI? How do we bind the date values?
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
Best Regards.

I had a similar problem. TO_DATE doesn't appear to function w/ BindByName or BindByPos.
You are going to have to bite the bullet and use an actual date.
Here's an example (I am using two dates in my query):
int main (int argc, char **argv, char **envp)
static text invalidQuery = (text )"SELECT f1.my_val, COUNT(f1.my_val) invalid_count, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM my_db_table f2 WHERE f2.my_val = f1.my_val AND f2.foo_dt = :1 ) total_count FROM my_db_table f1 WHERE f1.foo_dt = :1 AND ( (f1.vld_bar_sw IS NULL OR f1.vld_bar_sw = 'N') OR (f1.vld_foo_sw IS NULL OR f1.vld_foo_sw = 'N') ) group by my_val order by my_val asc";
OCIDate boundDateVal;
sb2 inputYear;
ub1 inputMonth;
ub1 inputDay;
char inputYearStr [] = "0000";
char inputMonthStr [] = "00";
char inputDayStr [] = "00";
/* I get and validate the date as input, but you can set it however you'd like */
inputYear = (sb2) (atoi (inputYearStr));
inputMonth = (ub1) (atoi(inputMonthStr));
inputDay = (ub1) (atoi(inputDayStr));
/* Allocating Date*/
OCIDateSetDate ( &boundDateVal, inputYear, inputMonth, inputDay );
OCIDateSetTime( &boundDateVal, 0, 0, 0);
returnVal = OCIBindByPos(invalidStmt, &firstInputBindHPtr, myErrorHandle, (ub4) 1,

SQLT_ODT, /*dty OCIDate*/
(dvoid *) 0, (ub2 *) 0, (ub2 *) 0, (ub4) 0, (ub4 *) 0, OCI_DEFAULT);
