SQL Command for searching

I have a database with fields containing large amounts of text. I wish to be able to search the text in the database using a sql command. I have a number of problems:
1. I will not know in advance how many words the user will be searching for eg 'Holidays' or 'Holidays in England' so how can I split these up and search effectively?
2. What is the SQL command to use to check in the database field to see if it has any of the related strings?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1.Use StringTokenizer to split the words in your search string
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer("query_string"," ");
2.Suppose it has 2 tokens then, construct a query like this, (You can use st.countTokens() to get the token count)
Select * from table where col1 like '%token1%' or col1 like '%token2%'
Hope this helps.

How do I do a SELECT sql command for count(names) > 1 ?
Please kindly advise me. Thank you very much.

It doesnt work when I do this

It prompts me the following error:

SQL command for two databases

I am attempting to write a SQL command for a Crystal report that links tables from two different databases, both of them Progress databases.I keep getting syntax errors that the table from the other db (meaning not the one I opened in DB Expert) can't be found. If someone has experience with Progress or otherwise has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not familiar with Progress, but does it have something like MS SQL's OPENQUERY using Linked Servers (which allows you to query a different DB server from the one you're connected to)? If not, you'll probably have to use two different SQL Commands to base the report on, then use Crystal to link the returned data sets. (I'm assuming "a different database" means "a different database server", not a different database on the same server instance...)

What is the sql command for SELECT with OR condition

Hi
What is the correct sql command for doing select with or condition??
SELECT * from TempData
WHERE port = '123'
OR serialnumber = '555'
So if there is a port = 123 or if there is a serialnumber = 555, I will get a successful select.
Thanks for helping a newbie!!

Thanks for helping a newbie!!Make sure you bracket your OR conditions
eg
SELECT * from TempData
WHERE column = 'VALUE'
and port = '123'
OR serialnumber = '555'
is read as
SELECT * from TempData
WHERE (column = 'VALUE'
and port = '123' )
OR serialnumber = '555'
which is not the same as
SELECT * from TempData
WHERE column = 'VALUE'
and ( port = '123'
OR serialnumber = '555' )

SQL Command for deleting T-Code for roles

Hi Experts
I want to delete the transaction from the role name by using SQL Command in MS-SQL Server instead of going to /npfcg -> zwa_xyz (role name for user) and transaction code is CR01,CR01,CA01 Etc.,
I have so many transaction code which is taking time to delete one by one.
So is there any SQL Statement to delete the t-code for that rolename
Delete from tablename where t-code=xyz and rolename in ('zwa_xyz',zwa_123')
regards

Hey,
SAP does not support executing update/insert/delete SQLs on their tables,
(the only SQL they support are select, and updates that they publish in their official site, such as notes in service.sap.com/notes)
is is probably due to the fact that sap contains about 30,000 of table,
and sometimes SAP uses cluster tables (which are difficult to handle in DB)
in addition, each and every SP adds/remove table or changes existing tables.
For example, you probably don't know that changing rule, would
create a change document (cluster table - CDHDR, CDPOS and etc),
If you want, it is very easy to get the full list of the table (and the sql) that are updated
(as I mentioned before, it is not recommended to run this sql, because it is not supported!!!)
just run transaction ST05 while deleting transaction from role,
when you display the list, press shift+F8 (or summerized trace from the menu),
and they search (Ctrl+F) the words: update or insert or delete.
You can use standard API such as BAPIs (such as BAPI_USER_*)/IDOCs(such as USERCHANGE),
and execute them from the portal and any other place (even in EXCEL or OS->meaning command line).
Here more information on executing RFCs:
1. in order to execute an RFC from excel, you should install SAP gui on the client that would execute the RFCs to the SAP, and you would have to write VBA code.
2. in order to execute an RFC from command line, this is a little bit more difficult,
sap provide RFC sdk (in service.sap.com/SWDC)
3. in order to execute an RFC from .net you can use the .net connector,
more information is here:
NW RFC SDK - is there a guide somewhere?
4. You can also, execute an RFC using Web service,
by creating web-service from the RFC in SE37.
I guess It will take more time to develop this they just executing the SQL.
If you need more information in executing an RFC,
please decide which option is your favorite,
and I would add information...

Sharepoint full farm backup generates sql logs for search application differential backups

We are running full farm backups for sharepoint. Backup completes normally but SQL logs are generated for differential backups for search service application.
it says something like:
Database differential changes were backed up: database: search_serv.......
Thanks,
Basit

This can happen for a few reasons, such as is disk contention or network issues. Are you backing up to a shared directory on the SQL Server? If not, try that.

HI Jerry,
I don't know real syntax of your database, try below SQL, you may have to modify the syntax wherever it is required.
Select t.Item, Max(t.DtChg),(case when year(t.dtchg) = Year(sysdate) then t.Cost else 0) as currentCost,
(case when year(t.dtchg) = Year(sysdate)-1 then t.Cost else 0) as PriorCost
From TransHst t
Where Type=14
Group by t.Item

Need PL/SQL Command for to check all rows value for child record and update

Hi All,
i want to update one field following by
one to many relationship for example
in child applet status field is value is "Closed" for all child record then parent value also should update to closed
Note: if one child record field status is "Open" don't do the update operation

You can do it in single UPDATE operation.
Here is sample & Result:
create table PA (id varchar2(3), name varchar2(12), STATUS varchar2(12));
insert into pa values('001','Cary','Open');
insert into pa values('002','TOM','Open');
create table boy (par_id varchar2(3), id varchar2(4), name varchar2(12), status varchar2(12));
insert into boy values('001','ABC1','Cary','Open');
insert into boy values('001','ABC2','Mac','Closed');
insert into boy values('001','ABC3','Ray','Closed');
insert into boy values('001','ABC4','NALLY','Open');
insert into boy values('002','ABC5','ME','Closed');
insert into boy values('002','ABC6','SHE','Closed');
UPDATE PA
SET STATUS='Closed'
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT 1
FROM BOY
WHERE BOY.PAR_ID=PA.id
GROUP BY BOY.PAR_ID,
    BOY.STATUS
HAVING SUM(DECODE(BOY.STATUS,'Open',1,'Closed',0,0))>0
select * from pa;
001     Cary     Open
002     TOM     Closed

MS Access SQL Command Automatic Update

Does anyone know the SQL command for automaticlly incrementing a number in Microsoft Access?
I'm writing a program in Java and I have these 3 fields of ID, name and address, and I want the ID to be automicattly incremented each time a name and address is added.

If you have a table like this.
customer_table: id_column, name_column
Then you do an insert like the following
insert into customer_table(name_column) values('xxx')
After that the id_column will have a value in it. For the next insert the id_column will have a different incremented value.

Sql commands in cmd file

I have been forced to write some simple scripts for Windows users who use Oracle. I used to write in bash/ksh and have no experience at all about windows scripts. What I figured out is :
cmd file:
echo off
set script_dir= .
set log=%script_dir%\log\db.log
set scrsql=%script_dir%\db.sql
sqlplus /nolog @%scrsql% >> %log%
so my questions are :
- I would like to have all commands ( batch and sql) visible inside cmd file. Is it any way to put sql commands line by line into cmd file ?
- how to redirect output of sql command ( for example simple select ) to screen or file
- how to put external parameter into sql command ( for example select xx from yy where zz=@param)
KP>

well, I do not see too much responses for my question - maybe it was not clear enough ?
Let me write it in this way:
I have a short ksh script:
+#!/usr/bin/ksh+
LOG_DIR=$ORACLE_HOME/dba/scripts/log
LOG=$LOG_DIR/log.txt
VAR=$2
export ORACLE_SID=$1
sqlplus -s '/as sysdba' << ! >> $LOG << call sqlplus commands inside a script
whenever sqlerror exit failure;
select * from table where columnsvalue= $VAR; << use variable in sql query
+!+
How to convert, in most easy way, such a script to windows batch. If I get an answer it solves almost all problems I have.
