Hello
I would like to import the schema of table in SQL Server into XI Data Type
is it possible?
thx

EJB/SQL data type mapping

Is there a way to define the mapping between SQL data types and the generated Entity bean data types.
(SQL server tiny int is getting mapped to a boolean!!! so I want to change it to a small, is there anything in the EJB 2.0 specification that defines the mapping between DB and EJB types).
thx,
sanjay.

I haven't done any bottom up beans but I would imagine there is an equivalent way you can change the mapping to change the data type when the bean is created. You may just have to change the datatype on the imported db schema before you generate the beans. You will also need to check that your jdbc driver supports transformation between tinyint and small.

Mapping SQL data types (especially SMALLINT) to Java classes

I want to know the reason for a certain pair of exceptions in JDBC�s mapping of SQL data types to Java classes.
Sun�s web site ( http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jdbc/getstart/mapping.html ), Sybase�s site, and other sites contain mappings from SQL data types to Java primitive data types and/or Java classes. On that Sun web page, Section 9.9.1 maps mostly to Java primitive data types, and Section 9.9.3 maps mostly to Java classes. For the SQL data types that map to both primitive data types and classes, the class is typically the wrapper class of the primitive data type. For example, SQL�s DOUBLE data type maps to both the double primitive data type and its wrapper class (Double). However, Section 9.7 of that Sun web page says that there are exceptions for SQL�s TINYINT and SMALLINT. As expected, they map to the byte and short primitive data types, but they map to the Integer class, not the Byte and Short classes (which are the wrapper classes for byte and short). The web page does not state the reason for this pair of exceptions. It seems to me that SMALLINT data would either work for both short and Short or fail for both short and Short. I don�t see why it would work for short but fail for Short (as the web page implies).
Can anybody think of a reason for the pair of exceptions? Thanks.

1) If a DBMS deals with the short and byte primitive data types (as the various web pages imply that it does), then why would it not deal with the Short and Byte wrapper classes?As another guess, because conversions get a little weird in java. Or at least they did in the past. As I recall (with not a lot of clarity) it is possible to do something like pass a perfectly valid string value into a short and get an exception. Whereas using Integer and then converting to Short works.
Keep in mind that these are guesses.
3) What I really want to know is this: If I use wrapper classes of Short and Byte (instead of Integer), what will be the harmful consequences (IF ANY)? So far, I have done some trivial testing with a Short for a SMALLINT column (I have not yet tried any TINYINT columns), and it seems to be working.I considered it risky to not test all target databases and drivers.
Obviously testing will reveal problems.
If you don't want to test then you might want to stick with integers.

How to access PL/SQL data types through JDBC

Hi,
We have stored procedures written in PL/SQL. These stored procs take both IN and OUT parameters. The parameter types are both regular datatypes like NUMBER, VARCHAR etc. So far so good. I know how to handle these data types.
Some of the stored procs also use parameters that are defined as composite data types like %ROWTYPE or %RECORD. How would I set the values of these data types? Can I use the oracle extension - support for Oracle Objects to accomplish this. If so please let me know with an example. If not any other suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

JDBC (and SQLJ) only support SQL types as stored procedure arguments, not PL/SQL types.
If your stored procedure uses a PL/SQL-only type, such as BOOLEAN, record types, or index-by tables, then you cannot call it from Java (or, for that matter, from other languages as well).
There is one exception: scalar index-by table arguments have been supported since JDBC 8.1.7 in the JDBC-OCI driver (refer to the JDBC manual for specifics).
One workaround is to create wrapper PL/SQL stored procedures that take SQL arguments and convert them to PL/SQL -and vice versa- and call the original PL/SQL stored procedures. For example, a record type could be exploded into individual arguments, or it could be converted into a SQL object type, index-by tables could be represented as SQL collection types, etc.
You can find a small example of this in the back of the JPublisher manual, where an example is given how to call a PL/SQL stored procedure that takes BOOLEAN arguments.

Sql data type : int

create table del_me_tab
num int
insert into del_me_tab values(09);
commit;
select * from del_me_tab; // gives 9
I want to modify the data type for num ... so that when i store 09 ... i get 09
Is there a way to do that

Hi,
Integer 09 is the same as integer 9 so you cannot do this. If you want to present this number in a certain way use the to_char function with a format mask.
select to_char(<column_name>,'09') will give you your 09 for example.

How to handle NUMBER data type of SQL

Hello All,
I have to call an Oracle store procedure developed by 3rd party, it has once of the input parameter as NUMBER.
Since NUMBER SQL data type is not support by PI 7.0 (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/44/7b72b2fde93673e10000000a114a6b/content.htm),

Conversions between java.util.Date, java.util.Timestamp and java.sql dates

I am coding a hoilday booking system using JSP to interact with a SQL Server database. On my JSP form which retrieves the information I have a little javascript pop-up date selector which appears to be returning a Timestamp value although the string value is visable in the entry field. Can I pass this to a javabean as a Timestamp, so far I have only passed strings? Also I then have to enter it in the database and so will need to convert it to an sql date type but I dont know which one is best. Previous to using the Timestamp returning calendar I was just entering text and parsing it to a util.Date in the bean and then converting that to an sql.Date for entry in the database. That worked fine but I want to use the pop-up any ideas? Also my bean won't compile if I declare java.util.Timestamp t;(cannot resolve symbol Timestamp !) even though I have imported util.

First of all, java.util.Timestamp does not exist. You probably need java.sql.Timestamp.
java.sql.Date and java.sql.Timestamp inherit from java.util.Date. So converting from java.sql.Date or java.sql.Timestamp to java.util.Date is easy, you don't have to do anything.
To convert a java.util.Date to a java.sql.Timestamp, do something like this:
import java.sql.Timestamp;
import java.util.Date;
Date date = new Date();
Timestamp ts = new Timestamp(date.getTime());Jesper

Poblem with java.sql.Date while inserting to a table

Hi All,
I have a PostgreSQL database table which contains fields(columns ) of type date. I want to insert values to the table in the[b] �dd-MMM-YYYY� format using the prepared statement.
My code is as follows
java.text.DateFormat dateFormatter =new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
String formatedDate=dateFormatter.format(theDate);
currentDate = new java.sql.Date(dateFormatter.parse(formatedDate).getTime())
��
��
��
pst.setDate(12,currentDate);The problem is the currentDate variable gives date only in the �YYYY-MMM-dd� format but requirement is the currentDate variable should give date in the �dd-MMM-YYYY� format and this should be save to table as java.sql.Date type
There is any solution???? please help me...
Thanks and Regards,
Hyson_05

Hi,
What are you talking about? A Date does always wrap a millisecond value, and doesn't have any formatting. It's the database, or your program which formats the date that you see.
In short. You should format the value when you print it, and not when you store it.

How to convert Date type

I have a JSP to read the date value and use it to update the corresponding column in the table. In the JSP, the data type returned from request.getParameter("hiredate") is java.util.Date. Unfortunately, the CachedRowSet requires the java.sql.Date type. How can I convert the java.util.Date type to java.sql.Date type? Please advise,thanks.
SK

SK,
This is how I do it:
java.util.Date utilDate = new java.util.Date();
long millis = utilDate.getTime();
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(millis);Good Luck,
Avi.

Importing an SQL Server TEXT data type field in Oracle - problem with LONG

Hello,
I work in Oracle 9i and I created a view on a distant SQL Server database that contains a TEXT data type field. But I have a problem when I select that field in Oracle; I have the following error message: "ORA-00997: forbidden use of LONG data type".
Could anybody have a solution for me, to solve that problem?
Thanks a lot!

It is very difficult to suggest anything without seeing your code. I don't even know if what you are seeing is the actual value or an error code. Often, negative numbers are indicative of error codes.
For instance -1 could mean that you have an invalid reference or path, etc...
Can you post your code?

Import from Designer crashes with IMAGE data type

Hello,
I'd like to report an issue with Data Modeler while importing from Oracle Designer. If you consider this a bug, please let me know if I need to do anything else to request a fix for it.
I've used the import > Oracle Designer Model tool to import an application model. The import runs fine for a while, then crashes with a message "There are errors in import - check log file".
The application to be imported has 509 domains, 963 entities to import.
The summary info displayed after the import (when I close the error message pop up) is:
All statements: 1472
Imported statements: 538
Failed statements: 0
Not recognized statements: 934
The log file has the lines below:

I see the issue with the IMAGE data type in the log. The model to be imported does have domains and entities using this data type. The domain actually did get imported, but it shows as "Unknown" logical type, even though there is an Image type available in the Data Modeler type list. None of the entities using IMAGE got imported.
Please let me know if you can provide a fix or workaround for this (other than changing the format in Designer).
Thank you,
Beatriz.

Hello Beatriz,
definitely this is a bug. The problem with entities is not IMAGE data type it's supported there (it's overlooked for domains). The problem is volume information - Initial, Maximum, Average, Growth rate. No workaround for that.
Domain can be changed manually if it's just one affected.

Problems with java constructor: "inconsistent data types" in SQL query

Hi,
I tried to define a type "point3d" with some member functions, implemented in java, in my database. Therefor I implemented a class Point3dj.java as you can see it below and loaded it with "loadjava -user ... -resolve -verbose Point3dj.java" into the database.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
package spatial.objects;
import java.sql.*;
public class Point3dj implements java.sql.SQLData {
public double x;
public double y;
public double z;
public void readSQL(SQLInput in, String type)
throws SQLException {
x = in.readDouble();
y = in.readDouble();
z = in.readDouble();
public void writeSQL(SQLOutput out)
throws SQLException {
out.writeDouble(x);
out.writeDouble(y);
out.writeDouble(z);
public String getSQLTypeName() throws SQLException {
return "Point3dj";
public Point3dj(double x, double y, double z)
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.z = z;
public static Point3dj create(double x, double y, double z)
return new Point3dj(x,y,z);
public double getNumber()
return Math.sqrt(this.x*this.x + this.y*this.y + this.z*this.z);
public static double getStaticNumber(double px, double py, double pz)
return Math.sqrt(px*px+py*py+pz*pz);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Additionally, I created the corresponding type in SQL by
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE point3dj AS OBJECT EXTERNAL NAME
'spatial.objects.Point3dj' LANGUAGE JAVA USING SQLDATA (
x FLOAT EXTERNAL NAME 'x',
y FLOAT EXTERNAL NAME 'y',
z FLOAT EXTERNAL NAME 'z',
MEMBER FUNCTION getNumber RETURN FLOAT
EXTERNAL NAME 'getNumber() return double',
STATIC FUNCTION getStaticNumber(xp FLOAT, yp FLOAT, zp FLOAT) RETURN FLOAT
EXTERNAL NAME 'getStaticNumber(double, double, double) return double')
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After that I tried some SQL commands:
create table pointsj of point3dj;
insert into pointsj values (point3dj(2,1,1));
SELECT x, a.getnumber() FROM pointsj a;Now, the problem:
Everything works fine, if I delete the constructor
public Point3dj(double x, double y, double z)
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.z = z;
in the java class, or if I replace it with a constructor that has no input arguments.
But with this few code lines in the java file, I get an error when executing the SQL command
SELECT x, a.getnumber() FROM pointsj a;The Error is:
"ORA-00932: inconsistent data types: an IN argument at position 1 that is an instance of an Oracle type convertible to an instance of a user defined Java class expected, an Oracle type that could not be converted to a java class received"
I think, there are some problems with the input argument of the constructor, but why? I don't need the constructor in SQL, but it is used by a routine of another java class, so I can't just delete it.
Can anybody help me? I would be very glad about that since I already tried a lot and also search in forums and so on, but wasn't successful up to new.
Thanks!

Dear Avi,
This makes sense when it is a short code sample (and i think i've done that across various posts), but sometime this is too long to copy/paste, in these cases, i refer to the freely available code samples, as i did above on this forum; here is the quote.
Look at examples of VARRAY and Nested TABLES of scalar types in the code samples of my book (chapter 8) http://books.elsevier.com/us//digitalpress/us/subindex.asp?maintarget=companions/defaultindividual.asp&isbn=9781555583293&country=United+States&srccode=&ref=&subcode=&head=&pdf=&basiccode=&txtSearch=&SearchField=&operator=&order=&community=digitalpress
As you can see, i was not even asking people to buy the book, just telling them where to grab the code samples.
I appreciate your input on this and as always, your contribution to the forum, Kuassi

Extract the data from SQL Server and Import into Oracle

Hi,
I would like to run a daily job that will export the table data from SQL server table (it will be only one or two table) and Import back into Oracle table (it might one or two table tables).
Could you please guide me that how can i do this using either sql server or oracle?
We have oracle 9.2 and sql server 2005.
Normally i do from flat file which is generated by source destination nand i dump into oracle using sql*loader but this time I have to directly extract/export the data from MS Sql server and load into Oracle table, mostly it will reload so i might doing any massaging data during the load.
If you show me the detail approach, it will be really appreciated.
I have access to Sql server but i don't how to use sql server to do this or using oracle as a daily job even becuase have to schedule the job for this as it will be a daily job.
Thanks,
poratips

Unless you can find an open source ODBC driver for SQL Server that runs on Solaris (and I wouldn't be overly hopeful there) Heterogeneous Services would require that you license something-- a third party ODBC driver, a new Oracle instance, or an Oracle Transparent Gateway.
As I stated below, you could certainly use SQL Server's ETL tool, DTS. Oracle's ETL tools would require additional licensing since you're just on 9.2. You could also write a small application (Java or otherwise) that connected to both databases and transferred the data. If you're particularly enterprising, you could load the SQL Server Type 4 JDBC driver into Oracle's JVM and write a Java stored procedure that connected to the SQL Server database via JDBC, but that's a pretty convoluted approach.
