SQL Query : Getting specific datatype in select clause

Hi
I want to write one query that returns me the values inside a table based on the datatype of column(s) of the table. For e.g. I need only those columns of the table in select clause where the datatype of the column is VARCHAR.
Can you please help me on this?

Use the "user_tab_columns" Data Dictionary to get the columns and build the SQL Dynamically.
Thanks,
Karthick.

SQL Query help ( On connect By level clause)

Hi all,
I have this query developed with data in with clause.
With dat As
select '@AAA @SSS @DDD' col1 from dual union all

. . .1st row comes fine, But next row data is getting duplicated. And total record count = 30. I tried with some but didn't work.
Expected output :-

ZZAI need some change on my query and I am not able to find that. So anybody can add on that or can also provide some different solution too.
Thanks!

Hi,
When you use something like "CONNECT BY LEVEL <= x", then at least one of the following must be true:
(a) the table has no more than 1 row
(b) there are other conditions in the CONNECT BY clause, or
(c) you know what you are doing.
To help see why, run this query
SELECT     SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH (dname, '/')     AS path
,     LEVEL
FROM     scott.dept
CONNECT BY     LEVEL <= 3
;and study the results:

Form on a SQL Query - doesn't work with SELECT * - bug or feature ?

When I do this,
Create Page -> Page with Component -> Form -> Form on a SQL Query -> SELECT * FROM EMP
I do not get any items displayed and it creates a simple HTML region / page. Do we have to necessarily specify the column names ?
Iam looking at a way to see if any addition of columns in the table does not involve IT intervention in recreating the form.
When we try to create with Form on a SQL Query, then shouldn't it be similar to the Report where the same thing works, if I give SELECT function_returning_columns() from DUAL even then the same thing happens where it creates an ITEM called functions_returning_columns() it creates HTML region
I asked a related question with no answer :-( in
Dynamic Creation of Items in Runtime through Application UI

Hi Marc,
Thanks. I just tried something like this. Taking the EMP table example, (it doesn't matter which table), I created a region based on a Pl/Sql function returning SQL query
( I selected the vertical report template including nulls to display it like a form ) :
DECLARE
v_sql VARCHAR2(3000) ;
mn_idx NUMBER := 1 ;
BEGIN
v_sql := 'SELECT ' ;
FOR recs IN (SELECT * FROM ALL_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'EMP' ORDER BY COLUMN_ID)
LOOP
v_sql := v_sql || 'HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(' || mn_idx || ',' ||
recs.column_name || ') ' || recs.column_name || ', ' ;
mn_idx := mn_idx + 1 ;
END LOOP ;
v_sql := SUBSTR(v_sql, 1, LENGTH(v_sql) -2) ;
v_sql := v_sql || ' FROM EMP WHERE EMPNO = 7369 ORDER BY 1 ' ;
RETURN v_sql ;
END ;
This allowed me to do my updates etc.., Then I created a button called 'Apply' and a process called 'update_changes' on button click and defined this:
DECLARE
v_sql varchar2(1000) ;
mn_ctr NUMBER := 1 ;
BEGIN
v_sql := 'BEGIN UPDATE EMP SET ' ;
FOR recs IN (select COLUMN_ID, COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE
from all_tab_columns where table_name = 'EMP'
ORDER BY COLUMN_ID) loop
-- Make changes here if required- this is assuming 9 columns --
v_sql := v_sql || recs.column_name || ' = HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F0' || mn_ctr || '(1),' ;
mn_ctr := mn_ctr + 1;
end loop ;
v_sql := substr(v_sql, 1, length(v_sql) - 1) ;
v_sql := v_sql || ' WHERE EMPNO = 7369; END ;' ;
execute immediate (v_sql) ;
END ;
Since this is for example, I didn't include code for Checksum and hardcoded empno = condition and have provision for 9 columns. I made some changes and tried saving it and I was able to do it.
I altered the table to add a column / drop a column and when I relogin, Iam able to see the changes.
Can you tell me if there could be any drawbacks in this approach ?.

SQL query optimization by changinf the WHERE clause

Hi all,
I need to know about the SQL query performance improvement by changing the WHERE clause. Consider a query :
select * from student where country ='India' and age = 20
Say, country = 'India' filters 100000 records and age = 20 filters 2000 records if given one by one. Now can anyone tell if the performance of the query can be changed by changing the query like this :
select * from student where age = 20 and country ='India'
as first where clause will give 2000 results and next filter will be applicable on only 2000 rows. While in the former query first where clause would give 100000 rows and seconde filter, hence, would be applicable on 100000 rows???
Kindly explain.
Thanks in advance.
Abhideep

in general the order of the where condition should not be important. However there are a few exeptions where sometimes it might play a role. Sometimes this is called order of filter conditions. Among others it depends on RBO or CBO used, Oracle Version, Indexes on the columns, statistic information on the table and the columns, CPU statistics in place etc.
If you want to make this query fast and you know that the age column has much better selectivity then you can simply put an index on the age column. An index on the country column is probably not useful at all, since to little different values are in this column. If you are already in 11g I would suggest to use a composite index on both columns with the more selective in first position.

VERY URGENT: problem in sql query with long datatype in weblogic

I have a problem while tryind to retrieve a column value with a long datatype using servlet and oci driver and the server is weblogic5.1 .I have used prepared statement the problem comes in the
preparedStatement.executeQuery().
The sql Query is simple query and runs well in all cases and fails only when the long datatype column is included in the query.
The exception that comes on the weblogic server is that :
AN UNEXPECTED EXCEPTION DETECTED IN THE NATIVE CODE OUTSIDE THE VM.

Did you try changing the driver then?
Please use Oracle's thin driver instead of the oci driver.
There are many advantages of using the type 4 driver. the first and foremost being that it does not require oracle client side software on your machine. Therefore no enteries to be made in tnsnames.ora
The thin driver is available in a jar called classes112.zip the class which implements the thin driver is oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
the connection string is
jdbc:oracle:thin:@<machine name>:1521:<sid>
please try out with the thin driver and let me know.

Abhishek.

Pass Multiple Parameters to SQL query in Drop down or Select Boxes

Post Author: JasonW
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hello all- I am using CR XI and SQL server 2000.I have written a SQL statement and used that statement as a 'command' in the Database Expert, to pull data into a report. There are two issues I have that I need some help/advice on.-. The report needs 4 parameters. A, B, C, D.-. I can create Parameters in the Database Expert that will prompt me for the data when I refresh the report. However,-. I need to be able to select those parameters in drop down boxes based on data in the SQL database. The problem is that the parameter cannot pull the data without the criteria - so a drop down box seems impossible. OR is it? That is part of my question. The other part is - Even if it is possible, can Crystal do this somehow? NOTE: The query is selecting the data rather than Crystal - so Creating a Parameter field IN the report is futile. -. The other half of this problem is that users would like the ability to select multiple values from Field A and from Field B.

CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I ended up using a stored procedure. This queries the proper data, and allows me to use Dynamic Parameters to make multiple selections on the data. (I query out a large portion of the data in the stored procedure, then pair it down using Dynamic Parameters in Crystal.) Here is the new problem this has created:My Dynamic Parameters are not pulling all the values from the query. Ex. One field in the query is a "directory" listing. It has 227 unique values in it. (It has multiple values, it is not constrained.) When I create a Dynamic Parameter off of this field, I only get 18 of the 227 as available selections in the drop down box. However, I can type in any of the 227 values into the field manually, I pull the proper data. So the data is there, its just not showing up in the drop down box. Anyone have any ideas on this?

SQL Query: Getting timestamp

Hi,
I have a table with out having a date/time field as one of the columns. But is there any way I can have the date or time stamp of the row inserted into that table.
I looked for that in the documentation, but its not there. I think it is not possible. I trying hard to get if there is any way to do that.
Thanks in advance.

Do you want to query for a timestamp? Or do a query which returns a timestamp.
For the first it is unlikely that you want to query for an exact value. It is more likely that you want a range.
In either case you would be using prepared statements and Timestamp though.

Tuning SQL query with similar subqueries for select columns

Hi all,
My query is something like below:
1> SELECT
2> A.COL1,
3> SUM(CASE WHEN A.flag=100 AND NVL(B.flag,0)=0 AND
4> EXISTS (
5> SELECT 'ROW_EXISTS'
6> FROM A A0
7> WHERE A0.COL2=100 AND NVL(A0.flag,0)=0 AND 0.DIRN<>A.DIRN)
8> THEN 1
9> ELSE 0
10> END) SUM_COLUMN1,
11>SUM(CASE WHEN A.flag=100 AND
12> EXISTS (
13> SELECT 'ROW_EXISTS'
14> FROM A A0
15> WHERE A0.COL2=100 AND A0.DIRN<>A.DIRN)
16> THEN 1
17> ELSE 0
18>END) SUM_COLUMN2
19>FROM A,B
20>WHERE A.COL=B.KEY_COL
21>GROUP BY A.COL1
My problem is that I need to index scan the tables A aliased as A0 in the two exist queries. Lines: 5-7 and 13-15.
The major performance degradation i see with the query is that it has to scan A0 twice to compute SUM_COLUMN1 and SUM_COLUMN2.
Is there any way by which i can use the same subquery to scan the table just once to compute the columns.
The table A has more than a 100million records. So i need to improve performance of this query though it is a small issue.
Please feel free to ask me more if i'm not clear with the example.
Thanks in advance,
Raj

Also you could use analytic functions:

5 sum(case when e.mgr is not null and e.sal >= 1200 and

7 then 1 else 0 end) sum2

Attempting to Get Specific Items Selected from a JList

Hello all, back again...
I'm working on a simple interface that can run an SQL query with specific settings, and these settings can be altered by choosing one or multiple options from a JList to the side of the table that displays the results. My problem is, currently, not being able to figure out how to get the accursed thing to tell me what items in the JList are selected!
I've tried using:
int multiselect[] = cmbSystems.getSelectedIndices();...but it inevitably returns an array with a size of 1. Frustrating. I know I'm missing something, but I have no idea what. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Mystrunner wrote:
Hmm, okay... give me a bit to figure that out, and I will. :)Sure. Your SSCCE should probably only consist of a JList that prints out the selected items when the selection changes, or something like that. I would bet that you figure out what's going wrong in the process of boiling your code down to the SSCCE.

Setting current values in Multiple Select List in SQL Query based Report

Hi,
I have a report based on a sql query that contains a multiple select list. Unfortunately I cannot get the multiple select list to display the current values (p_value) correctly. I have created a page item, :p311_current_versions, that is set using a pre-header process and it returns a value with a colon delimited format e.g. '10.1.2.1.0:10.1.2.2.0'. Then this item is used in the sql query to set the current value (p_value) of the apex_item.select_list_from_query function. However when the table is displayed, instead of having two entries, 10.1.2.1.0 and 10.1.2.2.0 selected, it has an extra entry '10.1.2.1.0:10.1.2.2.0' selected.
Here is my code:
select distinct a.product, a.version from (
select distinct
apex_item.display_and_save(2,product)||apex_item.hidden(1,env_product_id) PRODUCT,
APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY(3,decode(product, 'HTTP Server' , :p311_current_versions, version), 'SELECT distinct version d, version r FROM ebs_tech_stack where
product ='''||PRODUCT||'''',
decode(PRODUCT, 'HTTP Server' ,'multiple="multiple" style="width:170px"','style="width:170px"'),
'NO') as version
from ebs_environment_tech_stack
where environment_id = :p311_umgebung_id) a order by a.product
If anyone can help me figure out how to set the current values correctly I'd be really grateful!!
Thanks in advance,
Jean

Jean,
I don't think this is possible using the apex_item package. The select_list_from_query function accepts only a single value for the second parameter.

SQL Query to fetch a specific field in xml

Hi,
Below is my sample Xml file.
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<methodCall xmlns = "http://www.tibco.com/schemas/CS4_new1/Schema.xsd" xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation = "http://www.tibco.com/schemas/CS4_new1/Schema.xsd Schema_new.xsd">
<methodName>rBatchFile </methodName>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<struct>
<member>
<name>filename</name>
     <value>
     D:\test.txt
     </value>
</member>
<member>
<name>batchId</name>
<value>
     L1
</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</param>
</methodName>
</methodCall>
I want to query a "value" field based on the "name" field. I tried with the following query which didnt work.
SELECT a.extract('//value/text()' , 'xmlns:="http://www.tibco.com/schemas/CS4_new1/Schema.xsd" ')
FROM ( SELECT t.customerinfo.extract('//member[name="filename"]','xmlns:="http://www.tibco.com/schemas/CS4_new1/Schema.xsd" ')
FROM cust_order t ) a;
Please do provide the SQL query ASAP.

with tab as (
select xmltype('<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<methodCall xmlns = "http://www.tibco.com/schemas/CS4_new1/Schema.xsd" xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation = "http://www.tibco.com/schemas/CS4_new1/Schema.xsd Schema_new.xsd">
<methodName>rBatchFile </methodName><params>
<param>

<member>
<name>filename</name>
<value>
D:\test.txt
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>batchId</name>
<value>
L1
</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodCall>
') a from dual
--end of sample data
SELECT
extractvalue(column_value,'/member/name') name,
extractvalue(column_value,'/member/value') value
from tab t,xmltable('xmlns = "http://www.tibco.com/schemas/CS4_new1/Schema.xsd" xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation = "http://www.tibco.com/schemas/CS4_new1/Schema.xsd Schema_new.xsd"','for $i in //member return $i' passing t.a)An example...but i tweaked the xml...check the xml namespace once before executing...
without adding the namespaces...code will be like...
with tab as (
select xmltype('<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<methodCall >
<methodName>rBatchFile </methodName><params>
<param>
<value>
<struct>
<member>
<name>filename</name>
<value>
D:\test.txt
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>batchId</name>
<value>
L1
</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodCall>
') a from dual
--end of sample data
SELECT
extractvalue(column_value,'/member/name') name,
extractvalue(column_value,'/member/value') value
from tab t,xmltable('for $i in //member return $i' passing t.a)Ravi Kumar
