Set date as column name
Hi All. Does anybody know how to get the date of every Friday based on a given quarter and set it as the column name. For instance with quarter 1 the column names would be
1/6/2006
1/13/2006
1/20/2006
1/27/2006
etc
Thank you!
Hi,
Try something like :
1 select day# as FRIDAY
2 from
3 (select fist_day_q+rownum-1 day#
4 from
5 (select trunc(sysdate,'q') fist_day_q,
6 last_day(add_months(trunc(sysdate,'q'),2)) last_day_q
7 from dual)
8 connect by level <= last_day_q - fist_day_q +1)
9* where to_char(day#,'d')=5
SQL> /
FRIDAY
06/01/06
13/01/06
20/01/06
27/01/06
03/02/06
10/02/06

iam not able to insert data into datagrid corresponding to the column names..as iam inserting both data and column names programatically..ie iam not able to co relate the data with the column names.plzzz help me asap
A DataGrid is row-based rather than cell-based with each row
corresponding to an item in an underlying collection (specified in the
dataProvider property). In order to add data to a DataGrid you
manipulate the underlying collection, rather than the grid directly.
Based on the limited description of your problem I would imagine you
would need to create dynamic objects with property names that correspond
to the dataFields of your dynamically created datagrid columns.
So if you had created columns with dataFields "alpha", "beta" and
"gamma" on your datagrid, you could create an item in your grid by
adding the following object to your dataProvider:
var gridItem : Object = new Object();
gridItem.alpha = "alphaValue";
gridItem.beta = "betaValue";
gridItem.gamma = "gammaValue"; -
Date as column names in a table
SELECT days all_fridays
FROM (
SELECT TO_DATE('0101', 'DDMM') + LEVEL - 1 days
FROM dual CONNECT BY LEVEL <= TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('3112', 'DDMM'), 'DDD'))
WHERE to_char(days, 'DY') = 'FRI'Using the above query I'm getting the date's of all 'FRIDAY' day for the current year.
Please help me with a query or pl/sql block that can create a table (t) with these dates as column names.
Also, Can we create a table with dates as column names?
Thank YouWe are all more than welcome to help if you can post your information here. Please don't forget to identify your Oracle version (ex: 10.2.0.4) and post things like the sample data and layout using \ tags (See FAQ for more information on use of tags).

How to set FK to column name only, after engineering
Hi everyone,
On Logical model I have 2 tables, first one is Clients T085CLI with CODCLI as PK, the second one is Contacts T085CTO with CODCTO as PK and CODCLI as FK. After doing the engineering on T085CTO I get the following names, CODCTO (PK) and T085CLI_CODCLI (FK), but I would like the FK name as CODCLI only, without T085CLI_ prefix. Is there a configuration in somewhere to fix this?
I do appreciate if someone of you can help me with this.
Thanks in advance.
Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler version 4.0.0.820Hi,
You should be able to do this by setting the template for foreign key columns in your model.
Go to the Browser, right-click over the entry for your Design and select Properties.
This will display the Design Properties dialog. In the tree in the left-hand panel select Settings > Naming Standard > Templates.
Update the entry for Column Foreign Key to {ref column}

JTable can't display column names and scroll bar in JDialog !!
Dear All ,
My flow of program is JFrame call JDialog.
dialogCopy = new dialogCopyBay(frame, "Bay Name Define", true, Integer.parseInt(txtSourceBay.getText()) ,proVsl ,300 ,300);
dialogCopy.setBounds(0, 0, 300, 300);

It's wild that JTable can diplay the data without column names and scroll bar.

Excel 2013 connect to a cube, and Power View concatenate the column name by default
Hi Guys,
Currently, we met a problem with excel services to connect to a cube, when we develope a Excel 2013 Powerview report, the data model column name is concatenate into terrible name by default. e.g. Dim TimeDate Date, Dim TimeTime HierachyYear -Month.
But when start up the data model with Powerpivot, everything gone well. We knew that it can be manual update the name as workaround, but we need to do it every time we create a new powerview with the data model.
Is that any other solution we can do with?
Please help.
JohnnyHi,
As this question is more related to PowerView Report, I suggest you can create a new post in the PowerView forum, you will get more helpful information from there.

sure you can: Create a subclass of DefaultTableModel and overwrite the method public String getColumnName(int) which returns the column name of a specific column. Then use this subclass as the data model for the table.

Calculation Field to be mapped to different data object's column name in Oracle BAM 12c
Hi,
I am having a challenge to enable drill down to 2nd level report by passing calculation field as parameter.
As an alternative, I am thinking to point calculation field to another data object’s column name and generate report so that I would be able to pass that as parameter to drilling report view.
Is there any way to map calculation field to different Data object’s column name? Thanks in advance.

Error converting data type varchar to numeric.Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for:

>> I need to select from a dynamic column name and save the result in a variable, but seem to be having trouble with the values being fed to sp_executesql <<
This is so very, very wrong! A column is an attribute of an entity. The idea that you are so screwed up that you have no idea if you want
the shoe size, the phone number or something else at run time of this entity.
In Software Engineering we have a principle called cohesion that says a model should do one and only one task, have one and only one entry point, and one and only one exit point.
Hey, on a scale from 1 to 10, what color is your favorite letter of the alphabet? Yes, your mindset is that level of sillyity and absurdity.
Do you know that SQL is a declarative language? This family of languages does not use local variables!
Now think about “month_val” and what it means. A month is a temporal unit of measurement, so this is as silly as saying “liter_val” in your code. Why did you use “sp_” on a procedure? It has special meaning in T-SQL.
Think about how silly this is:
SET @month_val = 'Month' + CAST(@month_nbr AS VARCHAR(2));
We do not do display formatting in a query. This is a violation of at the tiered architecture principle. We have a presentation layer. But more than that, the INTERVAL temporal data type is a {year-month} and never just a month. This is fundamental.
We need to see the DDL so we can re-write this mess. Want to fix it or not?

Set the column name of a table in a list box
is there any code to set the column name of a table in a list box at oracle devloper 6i?
pls help.I dont want to go for pl/sql . It should work any table.You want Dynamic SQL without using PL/SQL? Tricky. I'm sure there's a possible way using some very complex and convoluted XML functionality of SQL but in reality you are asking for something that isn't natural to SQL queries, especially if you are expecting a dynamic number of columns to be produced for each row of data. SQL expects a table structure, including output formats, to be a defined number of columns with any number of rows, not a defined number of rows with any number of columns.
Perhaps if you explain why you need this sort of functionality then we may be able to offer a better solution.

Bulk Load data without specifying column names in control file
I am totally new to the world of Oracle databases and am having some trouble doing some basic data imports from a csv file. I have a large amount of data in an excel spreadsheet (a couple hundred columns by varying numbers of rows from 2- several thousand) which I want to import into my Oracle 11g Database. Currently I am trying to use sql loader and specify the import syntax in the control file. From the examples I've seen so far, it seems you must specify the columns individually for what you are importing. This is simply not reasonable for several hundred columns of data.
Is there sql loader syntax (or a better method all together) to import a comma delimited csv or excel spreadsheet into an oracle database where it automatically generates a table and columns based on the data in the target import file? Even if I must first create the table in the database, my key issue is being able to generate the column names during import to match the column headers in the import file. I appreciate any help you could provide.
FYI here is my first meager attempt at importing a comma delimited csv, here is my ctl file:
load data
infile 'C:\filepath\mock_data.csv'
into table allData
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
It says Syntax error at line 4. Expecting "(", found end of file.
I suspect there is more at issue here than a missing "("You have to create the control file to map to the table.
Since you would already have created the tables, you could generate the controlfiles based on the table structures.
See the "unloader.zip" file under the Files link at http://asktom.oracle.com
-- it has scripts to create unload a table to a flat file and to create the SQLLoader controlfile to reload that data to another target database. It would be the second set of scripts that you can use.
