Single column value into two column of report

Hi frnds,
I have a column of Adress in my databse table from where i have to fetch values and show it a report
able to get report but showing in single column if i take a printout paper will be wasted so I thought of passing these values to two different columns
please help me in giving some suggestions

In Oracle 9 you can get rid of the regex functions and use traditional SUBSTR, INSTR and REPLACE:
ABSOLUTELY NOT TESTED...
SELECT col1,SUBSTR ( ','||col2||',', instr(','||col2||',',',',lvl)+1,instr(','||col2||',',',',lvl+1)-instr(','||col2||',',',',lvl)-1)
FROM table_name,
       (SELECT LEVEL lvl
          FROM (SELECT MAX (LENGTH (REPLACE ( col2, ',',''))) mx
                  FROM table_name)
        CONNECT BY LEVEL <= mx + 1)
WHERE lvl - 1 <= LENGTH (REPLACE ( col2, ',',''));Max

Split one column value into two columns using t-sql

Hi All,
I have one varchar column in a table.
Col1
ABC-12C4
BC-A345

XYZ
How to split this into two columns like this using t-sql
Col1   Col2
ABC    12C4
BC      A345
CD

Thanks,

sql

assuming a static delimiter, and the split will end up with a max of 2 columns, something like this would work. basically you just need to determine where the delimiter is, and then use the left and right functions to find the 2 pieces.
declare @t table(value varchar(10))
insert into @t(value)
values
('ABC-12C4'), ('BC-A345'), ('CD'), ('XYZ')
select
case
when charindex('-', value) != 0 then left(value, charindex('-', value) - 1)
else value
end as col1,
case
when charindex('-', value) != 0 then right(value, len(value) - charindex('-', value))
else ''
end as col2
from @t

How to map single input value to Two columns of Database table using format file of Bulk Copy Process

Hi All,
Am using OPENROWSET to load the file data into table, here the problem is i need to map same input value to two different columns of table, As format file doesn't allow the duplicate numbers am unable to insert same value to two columns, please help me to
find a solution for this.
i can use only OPENROWSET because i need to insert some default values also which come based on file. only the problem is how to map same input value to two different columns of table. please give me the suggestions.
Thanks,
Sudhakar

From what you say:
INSERT tbl(col1, col2)
SELECT col1, col1
FROM OPENROWSET(....)
But I guess it is more difficult. You need to give more details. What sort of data source do you have? What does your query look like? The target table?
Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, [email protected]
Hi Erland,
Thanks for your response
my source file is text file with | symbol separate for ex:
1002|eTab |V101|eTablet|V100|Logic|LT-7|Laptops|SCM
Database table have columns like
column1,column2,column3...etc, now i need to insert same value from input file into two columns for ex:
the eTab value from text file has to be insert into column2 and column3 of
table
we cannot change format file like below one
for the above situation how can we insert eTab into column2 and column3
Thanks,

Combine 2 specific column values into one column

Is there an easy solution to combine column values that is in a group?
In my report I have 1 column group named Activity_Area which has 5 different values Activity 1, Activity2...Activity5.
Let's say I want to merge Activity 4 and Activity 5 and call it ActivityX and gives me the output as below
Activity 1 | Activity 2 | Activity 3 | ActivityX

Hi Jhonny86,
According to your description, you create a field in database and it contains five values. Then you want to only display four values in report column group, and the last two values should be replaced by “ActivityX”, right?
In your scenario, you can create an table like below:
create table Act(id int,activity varchar(99))
insert into Act select 1,'Activity 1'
insert into Act select 2,'Activity 2'
insert into Act select 3,'Activity 3'
insert into Act select 4,'Activity 4'
insert into Act select 5,'Activity 5'
Then query the table with code like below in query designer, then add the field [Act] into the column group.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Mapping different same column value into different column based on conditio

Hi experts,
We have source as Oracle tables and target also Oracel tables.
Source
Column1|Column2|Column3
Target
trg1|trg2
I need to
insert the value of Column1 into trg1 where column2='xxx'
insert the value of column1 into trg2 where column3='yyy'
After giving the conditions on the mapping, the where conditions are getting clubed with and and I am getting different value than what is excepted. Like the similar way I have the same scenario for most of the columns in my target table. Suggest me how to do it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I tried the mapping but getting duplicate records.
case1: Only AND condtion is getting applied automatically as per the joins between tables..i m not able to change the AND to OR condition since there are three table joins.
case2: when i try to execute the separate query for the column, i getting the values once put in case statement only NULL values are getting fetched.
As all my target mapping are like this...lot of issues are getting raised while fetching records...
I have given my scenario once again below.
src1
col1
src2
col1
col2
col3
col4
src3
col1
tar1
col1
col2
mapping given are
tar1.col1 = select src2.col3 where src2.col1='xxx' and src2.col2='yyy' and src2.col4=src1.col1
tar1.col2 = select src2.col3 where src2.col1='aaa' and src2.col2='bbb' and src2.col4=scr2.col1
Kindly suggest how to do the mapping in details...I am stuck bcoz of this mapping......thanks in advance.

Need to compare values in two columns of one table against values in two columns in another table

Hi, as the title reads, I'm looking for an approach that will allow me to compare values in two columns of one table against values in two columns in another table.
Say, for instance, here are my tables:
Table1:
Server,Login
ABCDEF,JOHN
ABCDEF,JANE
FEDCBA,SEAN
FEDCBA,SHAWN
Table2:
Server,Login
ABCDEF,JOHN
ABCDEF,JANE
FEDCBA,SHAWN
In comparing the two tables, I'd like my query to report the rows in table1 NOT found in table2. In this case, it'll be the 3rd row of table one:
Server,Login
FEDCBA,SEAN
Thanks.

create table Table1([Server] varchar(50), Login varchar(50))
Insert into Table1 values ('ABCDEF','JOHN'),('ABCDEF','JANE'),('FEDCBA','SEAN'),('FEDCBA','SHAWN')
create table Table2([Server] varchar(50), Login varchar(50))
Insert into Table2 values ('ABCDEF','JOHN'),('ABCDEF','JANE'), ('FEDCBA','SHAWN')
select [Server] ,Login from Table1
Except
select [Server] ,Login from Table2
select [Server] ,Login from Table1 t1
where not exists(Select 1 from Table2 where t1.[Server] = t1.[Server] AND Login=t1.Login)
drop table Table1,Table2

How to Insert check box value into database column

Hi All,
I had checkbox group in a region which is using an LOV......and having 18 items in that lov.
i.e. Total 18 checkboxes in Total. User has to select only 2 checkboxes from that 18.
I created two columns for storing two values of checkboxes. How to insert two selectives in two columns.........Moreover, How to give the query i.e. how to know which values are selected.
Please Help me in achieving this. apart from the two columns (Focus1,Focus2) .......One more column(l_spo_val) is there which is a foreign key.
My Insert Statement is like this:
INSERT INTO SPO_RESEARCH_FOCUS VALUES(l_spo_val
,:P4_RESEARCH_LIST_1
,:P4_RESEARCH_LIST_2);
Please narrate the code if possible.
Thanks,
Sekhar.

Hi Denes,
I saw the example in your workspace and it is the same what exactly i want and instead of storing in one column i want to store the two selected values into two different columns. Also i need to restrict the selection of checkboxes upto 2 only. So If the user tries to select the third check box it doesnt have to accept.
Even I am ready to change my table as according to your example i.e. creating only one column. Store the values of selection into that column.
I was unable to see how u wrote the logic (Code) for your example in your workspace. It helps alot if you provide me the code for that example(Multi Checkbox One Column).
I was facinated after watching your examples in your workspace and am very much interested to know more about Apex.
Please help me insolving this as it is long pending issue for my requirement.
Thanks a lot again,
Sekhar.

Inserting the column values into table from view through procedure!!!

below is my example code
Create or replace procedure test_proc
is
cursor test_cur is
select a.col1 , b.col2, c.col3, d.col4, e.col5
from tableA a, tableB b, tableC c, tableD d, tableE e;
test_cur_rec test_cur%rowtype;
Begin
insert into test_stg ( col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, col6, col7)
Values ( test_cur_rec. col1,
test_cur_rec .col2,
test_cur_rec .col3,
test_cur_rec .col4,
test_cur_rec .col5
-- col6, col7 );
create view test2 (
select f.col6, g.col7 from tableF f,tableG g);
I m trying to insert values into the table test_stg but for col6 and col7 i need to get the data from the view test2.
In simple word, all i need to do is get the 2 columns data from view and insert into a table through procedure. The above code is the example which looks very much like my actual code.
How do i accomplish this task ??

well there is joining condition for a, b,c ,d, e tables, i have not mentioned here. The where condition has nothing to do with the other two columns of the view.
There is no relation ship between the these tables the view. The col 6 and 7 i m inserting from view is sysdate timestamp and the job_id number.
so its pretty straight forward insertion into the table from view columns. These two columns has just one row with id number and timestamp. so i need to insert these data into the the table when i run a procedure.
Thank you so much!!!

Hi,
Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements; that really helps!
Here's one wa. Like your 2nd approach, this uses a self-join:
WITH     got_r_num     AS
     SELECT ca_id
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY ca_id
                               ,                    fac_id
                         ORDER BY        ca_ver_num
                             )    AS r_num
     ,     brwr_short_name
     ,     TO_CHAR (sic_code)     AS sic_code
     ,     fac_id
--     ,     ...     -- Other columns (using TO_CHAR if needed)
     FROM     r_dummy
,     unpivoted_data     AS
     SELECT     *
     FROM     got_r_num
     UNPIVOT     INCLUDE NULLS
          (    txt
          FOR column_name IN ( brwr_short_name          AS 'BRWR_SHORT_NAME'
                        , sic_code               AS 'SIC_CODE'
--                        , ...     -- Other columns
SELECT       p.ca_id
,       p.fac_id
,       p.column_name
,       p.txt          AS previous_name
,       a.txt          AS after_modification
FROM       unpivoted_data   p
JOIN       unpivoted_data   a ON p.ca_id     = a.ca_id
                       AND p.fac_id     = a.fac_id
                     AND p.column_name     = a.column_name
                     AND p.r_num      = a.r_num - 1
                     AND p.txt || 'X' != a.txt || 'X'
ORDER BY a.r_num
;To include other columns, add them in the 2 places where I put the comment "Other columns".
Ca_ver_num can have any values, not just 2.00 and 3.00.
This will show cases where a value in one of the columns changed to NULL, or where NULL changed to a value.
There ought to be a way to do this without a separate sub-query like got_r_num. According to the SQL Language manual, you can put expressions in the UPIVOT ... IN list, but when I tried
...     UNPIVOT     INCLUDE NULLS
          (    txt
          FOR column_name IN ( brwr_short_name          AS 'BRWR_SHORT_NAME'
                             , TO_CHAR (sic_code)     AS 'SIC_CODE'
          )I got the error "ORA_00917: missing comma" right after TO_CHAR. Perhaps someone else can show how to eliminate one of the sub-queries.

Hi,
I have 8 columns and some not null columns. Based on not null columns I want to insert into table as rows. The 8 columns may contain values or no value. If the first column contains data, then I have to insert into one row. if the second column contains data I have to insert a row and in second column. respectively...So How can I insert column values into rows. Can I write 8 insert statements. (OR) is it possible to insert data from columns using where clause.
Please help me out....

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

Hi,
Use NVL or COALESCE:
NVL (col_a, col_b)
Returns col_a if col_a is not NULL; otherwise, it returns col_b.
Col_a and col_b must have similar (if not identical) datatypes; for example, if col_a is a DATE, then col_b can be another DATE or it can be a TIMESTAMP, but it can't be a VARCHAR2.
For more about NVL and COALESCE, see the SQL Language manual: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/functions119.htm#sthref1310
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

Awaiting for your reply..

That's not more clear for me...
Anyway, if you really want a procedure for that, try :
SQL> create table tblstr (col1 number,col2 number,col3 number);
Table created.
SQL>
SQL> create or replace procedure insert_fct (p_string IN varchar2)
2 as
3 v_string     varchar2(4000):=p_string||':';
4 v_substring varchar2(4000);
5
6 begin
7      while instr(v_string,':') > 0 loop
8            v_substring := substr(v_string,1,instr(v_string,':')-1)||'~';
9            insert into tblstr(col1,col2,col3)
10            values (substr(v_substring,1,instr(v_substring,'~',1,1)-1),
11                    substr(v_substring,instr(v_substring,'~',1,1)+1,instr(v_substring,'~',1,2)-instr(v_substring,'~',1,1)-1),
12                    substr(v_substring,instr(v_substring,'~',1,2)+1,instr(v_substring,'~',1,3)-instr(v_substring,'~',1,2)-1));
13            v_string:=substr(v_string,instr(v_string,':')+1);
14      end loop;
15 end;
16 /
Procedure created.
