Bind Variable in SELECT statement and get the value in PL/SQL block

Hi All,
I would like pass bind variable in SELECT statement and get the value of the column in Dynamic SQL
Please seee below
I want to get the below value
Expected result:
select distinct empno ,pr.dept   from emp pr, dept ps where   ps.dept like '%IT' and pr.empno =100
100, HR
select distinct ename ,pr.dept   from emp pr, dept ps where   ps.dept like '%IT' and pr.empno =100
TEST, HR
select distinct loc ,pr.dept   from emp pr, dept ps where   ps.dept like '%IT' and pr.empno =100
NYC, HR
Using the below block I am getting column names only not the value of the column. I need to pass that value(TEST,NYC..) into l_col_val variable
Please suggest

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.

Getting unique values from a column within a hierarchy

I'm sort of new to working with databases and oracle so this is probably a beginner-ish question. I'm using oracle 9i on this.
I have a database that contains a table with an organizational hierarchy (dept_id, dept_name, parent_id), and another that contains a list of items for each department (like dept_id, item_id). Item_id joins with another table for the actual description of the items. Each department may have many items, and the departments may overlap with the items included in each.
I only want to contain that item list for leaf nodes in the hierarchy and for any departments that are not at the bottom, have a query pull a list of all unique items contained by its children, without the overlap. I know I can use START WITH and CONNECT BY to traverse the hierarchy but I'm not sure how I'd put all these pieces together into one query to get what I want, so I'd really appreciate help.

can you pls post a sample data and the output you are looking for.

Get millisecond values from timestamp column in v$logmnr_contents

Hello
How do we get millisecond values from timestamp column in v$logmnr_contents.
I tried with following query.
select scn,To_Char(timestamp,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS:FF') from v$logmnr_contents WHERE OPERATION NOT IN('START') and username ='SCOTT' and sql_redo is not null and (seg_owner is null or seg_owner not in('SYS'));
it says ORA-01821: date format not recognized. I want to find the relation of scn with timestamp. In forums i found, scn is derived from timestamp value. I dont know its correct or not.
if i query with out FF in time format i get like

if scn is derived from timestamp with milliseconds, each scn should be different right?More help please

May be there's an easy way solving your problem, I did it like that:
CREATE TABLE quota_test (test VARCHAR2(50))
INSERT INTO quota_test
VALUES ('update "SCOTT"."NEWTAB1" set a="34" and b="45"')
SELECT test normal, REPLACE(SUBSTR(test,INSTR(test,'"',1),INSTR(test,'.',1)+2),'"','') changed
FROM quota_test
Result is :
NORMAL
update "SCOTT"."NEWTAB1" set a="34" and b="45"
CHANGED
SCOTT.NEWTAB1

"How to get distinct values of sharepoint column using SSRS"

Hi,
    I have integrated sharepoint list data to SQL Server reporting services. I am using the below to query sharepoint list data using sql reporting services.
<Query>

By using this query, I am getting a dataset which includes all the columns of sharepoint list. Among these columns, I wanted to display only 2 columns (i.e Region and Sales type) using chart. I have created a Region parameter but when I click preview, the drop down box is giving me all the repeatative values of region like RG1,RG1,RG1,RG2,RG2,RG2,RG2,RG3.......... I wanted to display only distinct values of Region parameter so that whenever end user select region from the parameter drop down, it will display the respective value of Sales type column.
Also when I select only RG1 parameter, it is giving me a chart including the sales type of all the Regions. (it should display me only the sales type of RG1) How can I link these 2 columns so that they will display the values respectively.
          I would really appreciate if anyone can help me out with this.
Thanks,
Sam.

Hi Sam,
By code, the CAML language doesn’t have any reserved word (or tag) to set this particular filter to remove duplicate results.
In this case, we could use the custom code to get distinct records.
Here are the detailed steps:
1.         Create a hidden parameter that gets all the records in one field.
Note: Please create another dataset that is same of the main dataset. This dataset is used for the parameter.
2.         Create a function that used to remove the duplicate records.
Here is the code:
Public Shared Function RemoveDups(ByVal items As String) As String
Dim noDups As New System.Collections.ArrayList()
Dim SpStr
SpStr = Split(items ,",")
For i As Integer=0 To Ubound(Spstr)
If Not noDups.Contains(SpStr(i).Trim()) Then
noDups.Add(SpStr(i).Trim())
End If
Next
Dim uniqueItems As String() = New String(noDups.Count-1){}
noDups.CopyTo(uniqueItems)
Return String.Join(",", uniqueItems)
End Function
3.         Create another parameter that will be used for filtering the maindata.
Please set the available value to be =Split(Code.RemoveDups(JOIN(Parameters!ISSUE_STATUS_TEMP.Value, ",")), ",")
And the default value to be the value you what such as the first value:
=Split(Code.RemoveDups(JOIN(Parameters!ISSUE_STATUS_TEMP.Value, ",")), ",").(0)
4.         Go to the main dataset. Open the property window of this dataset.
5.         In the “Filters” tab, set the filter to be:
Expression: <The field to be filter>
Operator: =
Value: =Parameters!Region.Value
The parameter “Region” should be the parameter we created in the step3.
Now, we should get distinct values of SharePoint columns.
If there is anything unclear, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

How can I get the value of "Warehose" column in a form

How can I get the value of "Warehouse" column in the form below (I mean what table that contain this value):
Production Supervisor >> Batches >> (Button) Material Details >> (Button) Line Allocations
Well, for more clearly! My problem is I must have the Unit Cost of Items, so I've got it in the cm_cmpt_dtl (table), but if I want to, I must create a relation that require 2 filed, they're Item_ID and Whse_Code.
There's no problem with Item_ID, but Whse_Code seem to be the Mission Impossible (hix, I hate that film!!!!)
I wonder if It was right to post this topic here. But anyway I just post my question here, hope I could get some help.

wow, many, many, many.... and many thanks!
Just add a tiny modify to check out the Batch_type
doc_id = (select batch_id from gme_batch_header where batch_no='&batch_number' and batch_type = 0)
Because the batch_no can be duplicated as we also create Batch and Filrm Planned Order.
Many thanks for your support!

You can just use ROWNUM Pseudocolumn

Getting unique values from internal table

Hi Gurus,
From time to time I hit this problem and so far I havn't found any nice solution. I've an internal table with several fields. I would like to get all unique values for one (or several) of these fields. However let say that this table has a lot of entries so making a copy is not an option. Also changing this table in any way is forbiden.
For example for table below I would like to get all unique values for field Number. In this case it would be 1,2,3,4.
Name | Number |
name1 | 1|
name2 | 2|
name3 | 2|
name4 | 3|
name5 | 4|
name5 | 3|
Can anyone propose me better solution than going in the loop through all entries in table? Maybe there is some ABAP functionality that I don't know about?
BR
Marcin Cholewczuk

Let's say that if I sort this table I won't be able to restore it to previous order which is important for me
True...If you sort the table you won't be able to restore. So the only option is to copy/move all the records into another table.
Sorting If you need to retrive unique values. I don't think without sorting the table would be a nice idea and proper programming to proceed ahead.
Regarding logic, as replied earlier
Either we can go with DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES or proceed as replied in my earlier post. There might be number of algorithms to resolve this. But we cannot go ahead without sorting or looping.

I want a select statement to return two values, sum of one column and customer number

I have two columns one called invoice_number and the other invoice_amount. I want a select statement to return two columns.... invoice_number and then the sum of the invoice_amount(s) for each unique invoice number.
SELECT sum(invoice_amount) AS Totalinvoice_amount FROM InvoiceTB where invoice_number = 'INV102'
This is where I've started, which returns:
Totalinvoice_amount
500.00
Any help is appreciated.
Please mark my post as helpful or the answer or better yet.... both! :) Thanks!

Get unique values from Parent List in Dropdown List SPServices

I have a dropdown list created using the SPServices ($().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns). It works as it should, I just need to add a requirement. I need to be able to filter the Parent Lookup list to show only unique values.
$().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns({
relationshipList: "ROInsComp",
relationshipListParentColumn: "AIP-RY",
relationshipListChildColumn: "NameAndCode",
parentColumn: "AIP-RY",
childColumn: "NameAndCode",
debug: true});
The issue is that in AIP-RY I have stored Years and each year could be repeated several times
I followed some of the recommendations from this blog:
GetListItems Unique Values
I this is what I tried:
$.ajax({
url: weburl+'https://my-site/_layouts/filter.aspx?ListId='+escape('{544C8B6A-C9B3-4BA‌D-B9CF-B032E5FD07DB}')+'&FieldInternalName='+"AIP-RY" + '&ViewId='+escape('{4B433420-156F-4F4F-9E3C-551DC43B593C}')+'&FilterOnly=1&Filte‌r=1',
success: function(data) {
alert('It worked!');}
No luck so far! Thanks!

Thanks for looking into this. I'm not sure this would work: SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns
only works (as far as I know) for elements from the same list.

Getting unique values from an arraylist

Hi
I have an arraylist that contains stringbuffer objects. The arraylist has duplicate values of the objects. I have to create another arraylist with only the unique values from the first arraylist. I tried it many ways and using many functions, but no luck. Can someone provide me the code for this , as i need to do this urgently.
Thank U
Mansoor,

> Sanity check: when are StringBuffers equal?
Same character sequence.
[EDIT] Or so I thought. Just tested, and found I was wrong. A quick glance at the API confirmed my error; StringBuffer doesn't override Object.equals().

How to get the values in separate columns

Hello Everyone
I am new to Bex, i have the sales data of 2008,2009,2010. now i have to display the sales order(key figure) for 2008,2009,2010 in separate columns for each customer(dimension) in a single report , can any one help me how to get this done in bex.
Thanks
Gupta

Hi ,
You can achieve this either creating New Selections or Restricted Key Figures.
Right click on the structute>>>> New selcection>>> drag the year to right [ Right Click on it >>restrict it with 2008}>>>Drag the respected Key figure.
So u will get the values 2008 in seperate column.
COpy the New Selecten that u created and paste on the structure , chage the descriprion and year to 2009.
do the same for 2010.
Note:you can also achieve this by creating variable offsets.Check the following link

How to get a value from a column inside a table

Hi,
I have got the following problem. I have got a table with some data inside. And a new column, which is not in the dataprovider. Now i search for an opportunity to go through the rows of the table and check the value of this column. I cant do this with the dataprovider or the rowset. My question is now how can i do this? The table object doesnt seem to have a corresponding method.
Thanks in advance for help
Acinonyx

this is some code you can use (based on Winston's and others' tips):
put this in you page bean:
private HashSet selectedRows = new HashSet();
public boolean isSelected() {
TableRowDataProvider trdp = (TableRowDataProvider)getBean("currentRow");
if (trdp == null) {
return false;
RowKey rowKey = trdp.getTableRow();
if (this.selectedRows.contains(rowKey.getRowId()))
return true;
else
return false;
public void setSelected(boolean b) {
TableRowDataProvider trdp = (TableRowDataProvider)getBean("currentRow");
RowKey rowKey = trdp.getTableRow();
if (checkbox1.isChecked()) {
this.selectedRows.add(rowKey.getRowId());
Object v = this.t_fotoDataProvider.getValue("fieldName", rowKey);
} else {
this.selectedRows.remove(rowKey.getRowId());
and then bind the "selected" property of the checkbox column to the "selected" property of the page bean.
Now, eveytime the page is submitted, you can do something useful, for example, in the setSelected() method (the row that starts with Object v = ... get's the value of some field corresponding to the checked row)

Count of unique values in 7 columns

Hey there…
I have a Lookup table with 8 columns
ID = unique ID
U = Sunday,
M = Monday
T = Tues
W = Weds
R = Thur
F = Fri
S = Sat
Each of the ‘day’ columns can have a value between 1 and 1150, looks like this
ID U M T W R F S
1 15 15 16 15 17 345 17
What I am trying to find is a count of the deviation of each row… or how many of the days have different values
So for the above example
ID U M T W R F S COUNT
1 15 15 16 15 17 345 17 4
As there are 4 unique values in the week..
15,16,17,345
Any ideas on how that could be done in oracle? Stumped!

Yep, pre-11g:
CREATE TABLE temp (id INTEGER, col_1 INTEGER, col_2 INTEGER, col_3 INTEGER, col_4 INTEGER, col_5 INTEGER, col_6 INTEGER, col_7 INTEGER);

INSERT INTO temp VALUES (1001, 7, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7);
INSERT INTO temp VALUES (1002, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1);
SELECT * FROM temp

SELECT id, col_3 FROM temp UNION
SELECT id, col_4 FROM temp UNION
SELECT id, col_5 FROM temp UNION
SELECT id, col_6 FROM temp UNION
