SQL Query to calculate on-time dispatch with a calendar table

Hi Guys,
I have a query (view) to calculate orders' fulfillment leadtimes.
The current criteria exclude week-ends but not bank holidays therefore I have created a calendar table with a column name
isBusinessDay but I don't know how to best use this table to calculate the On-Time metric. I have been looking everywhere but so far I have been unable to solve my problem.
Please find below the current calculation for the On-Time Column:

The Julian business day is a good trick. Number the days from whenever your calendar starts and repeat a number for a weekend or company holiday.
CREATE TABLE Calendar
(cal__date date NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
julian_business_nbr INTEGER NOT NULL,
INSERT INTO Calendar
VALUES ('2007-04-05', 42),
('2007-04-06', 43), -- good Friday
('2007-04-07', 43),
('2007-04-08', 43), -- Easter Sunday
('2007-04-09', 44),
('2007-04-10', 45); --Tuesday
To compute the business days from Thursday of this week to next
Tuesdays:
SELECT (C2.julian_business_nbr - C1.julian_business_nbr)
FROM Calendar AS C1, Calendar AS C2
WHERE C1.cal__date = '2007-04-05',
AND C2.cal__date = '2007-04-10';
We do not use flags in SQL; that was assembly language. I see from your code that you are still in a 1960's mindset. You used camelCase for a column name! It makes the eyes jump and screws up maintaining code; read the literature.
The “#” is illegal in ANSI/ISO Standard SQL and most other ISO Standards. You are writing 1970's Sybase dialect SQL! The rest of the code is a mess.
The one column per line, flush left and leading comma layout tells me you used punch cards when you were learning programming; me too! We did wrote that crap because a card had only 80 columns and uppercase only IBM 027 character sets. STOP IT, it make you
look stupid in 2015.
You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You failed. You believe that “status” is a precise, context independent data element name! NO!
You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. But you used a horrible local dialect. WHY?? The “yyyy-mm-dd” is the only format in ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And it is one of the most common standards embedded in ISO standards. Then you used crap
like “6/01/2015” which is varying length and ambiguous that might be “2015-06-01” or “2015-01-06” as well as not using dashes.
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:
https://www.simple-talk.com/books/sql-books/119-sql-code-smells/
>> Please find below the current calculation for the On-Time Column: <<
“No matter how far you have gone down the wrong road, turn around”

Can you throw out this mess and start over? If you do not, then be ready to have performance got to hell? You will have no maintainable code that has to be kludged like you are doing now? In a good schema an OUTER JOIN is rare, but you have more of them in
ONE statement than I have seen in entire major corporation databases.

Oracle SQL Query from EXCEL 2007 with prompt

Hello,
I have many excel reports where I am pulling information from our Oracle 9 db through Excel using the following method:
http://blog.mclaughlinsoftware.com/microsoft-excel/how-to-query-oracle-from-excel-2007/
http://blog.mclaughlinsoftware.com/2009/11/30/sql-query-in-excel-2007/
However, I am having trouble when I try the following query due to the prompt:
SELECT
IM.ITEM_GROUP,
IM.ITEM,
IM.DESCRIPTION
FROM
LAWSON.ITEMMAST IM
WHERE
IM.ITEM = '&ITEM';
Does any one know how I can connect a prompt to an excel cell and then pass the query on to Oracle, or have a PL SQL prompt work from Excel?
Thanks,
Ben

The 'prompt' as you call it is a sqlplus feature, so does not belong to the SQL language
You would need to write a stored procedure returning a resultset.
create or replace procedure foo(rc in out sys_refcursor, p_item) as
begin
open rc for
'SELECT
IM.ITEM_GROUP,
IM.ITEM,
IM.DESCRIPTION
FROM
LAWSON.ITEMMAST IM
WHERE
IM.ITEM = '||p_item;
end;
and call that using ODBC or asp.net
Obviously this is profusely documented.

Default value of date picker not showing in sql query

Hi,
I have a tabular form page with a query similar to the following:
select emp_name, salary from emp_table where trunc(hire_date)=trunc(to_date(:P42_START_DATE))
where P42_START_DATE is the name of a date picker item.
I set the source type of the date picker to be "Only when current value in session state is null" and the value to be "select trunc(next_day(sysdate,'MON')-7) from dual;" - basically the monday of the current week. I set the sequence of the date picker to be 5, and the sequence of the region to be 10. Now, when I open this page, no data gets pulled. I checked the page source, and the value of the date picker input is being set to "17-NOV-2008", but it somehow isn't reflected in the sql query.
Data does get retrieved if I manually set the date in the date picker, but I'd like it to default to the monday of the current week. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

nope, still same problem.
I used javascript alerts to help debug, and here might be some useful information.
The computation to set the value of :P42_START_DATE is set to run "before header", but when I put this following javascript in the header:
<script language="javascript">
var c = $v('P42_START_DATE');
alert(c);
</script>
the alert box is blank (ie :P42_START_DATE is empty). Putting the same exact script in the footer gives 24-Nov-2008 in the alert box. Now, the SQL query is run sometime after the first alert and before the second alert, I believe. Why would the value of :P42_START_DATE not be getting set at the correct time?
P42_START_DATE is a date picker item that belongs to the region SCHEDULE (which is where the sql query is). I set the sequence of the region to 10, and the sequence of the date picker and computation to be 5 and 6. Even so, does this mean that the sql query is executing before the call to the computation, because the region needs to be created before any items can be created that belong to the region?

Ajax Autocomplete Tabular does not work using apex_item.text in SQL Query.

Hello,
Is it possible to use the search function which is used in, Dennis Kubicek example, ENAME topic Ajax Autocomplete Tabular
in a sql query using apex_items?
Query line :
, apex_item.text(17,xp.part_nr,null,null,'onfocus="f_register(this);" autocomplete="off"') PART
At first I followed the example by adding 'onfocus="f_register(this);" autocomplete="off" in the element attributes in the report field.
This didn't work... so tried to add the it in the attirbutes parameter of the apex_item.
But this still doesn't work. No errors are given, it does not respond.
Could somebody please help me?
Thx!
Astrid

Well, I'm trying to take this one step further, but I seem to be having some difficulty.
I'm trying to make a Filter screen to create a dynamic where clause filter screen.
This is a page I made with Popup LOVS, just to show you my goal (now trying to use autofilters)
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=29989:5
I have a table on my system that tells you where the field is, and I'm using that to get the table (didn't want to change the javascript, so I pass in a static value).
This is the javascript code I used
<pre>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function f_register(p_this,p_name)
var p_registered = $x('P5_ITEM_ID').value;
var p_this_name = $x(p_this).id;
//alert(p_this_name);
if (p_registered != p_this_name)
register(p_this_name, "COSTING_M", p_name, "blue", "red");
$x('P5_ITEM_ID').value = p_this_name;
</script>
</pre>
This is my query
<pre>
select column_name || apex_item.hidden(1,column_name) Col_name,
apex_item.SELECT_LIST_FROM_lov(2,'=','OPERATOR') OPERATOR,
apex_item.text (3,
NULL,
20,
200,
'onfocus="f_register(this,''' || column_name || ''');" autocomplete="off"',
'f3_' || '#ROWNUM#',
NULL
) value,column_id
from user_tab_cols
where table_name = 'COSTING_M'

and here is my on-demand process

I made some slight mods to make the table dynamic from my source table (this is to grab master files when they exist and not to when they don't).
I get my select list, but it's blank on all fields, any suggestions?

Issue in converting sql query to oracle

Hi Friends,
I have a sql query as follows,
Select Name From SysObjects Where XType = 'U' And Name = @NameI want to convert this to oracle. I have tried to convert this in someways. But I'm getting errors only. Please anyone help me to fix this issue.
Thanks,
Ram

Most Oracle dictionary views come in DBA_, ALL_ and USER_ flavours. Probably you don't have privileges to view DBA_OBJECTS, in which case try ALL_OBJECTS or <a gref="http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/statviews_2005.htm">USER_OBJECTS</a>.
Based on what I read, you might need something like
SELECT * FROM all_objects WHERE owner <> 'SYS' AND object_type = 'TABLE'btw a sure way to wind up Oracle professionals is to use "SQL" to mean another DBMS product and not Structured Query Language. As you may have noticed, we have SQL over here as well.

Sql query to get union of matching rows

I want to write a sql query that shows union f all the [Type] for each [Key] if [Key] has atleast one [Type] in common and for non matched [Key]s it will return the row as it is.
For example In the sql table below [Key] '1' and '2' has [Type] 'B' in common and [Key] '1' and '4' has [Type] 'A' in common. In this case [Key] '1', '2' and '4' are related so result will be union of [Type]s in [Key]s '1', '2' and '4' which are 'A', 'B', 'C'
and 'E' for each [Key]. And [Key] '3' has no [Type] in common so it will return itself.
Input:
declare @categories table ([Key] int, [Type] Char(1))
insert into @categories ([Key], [Type]) values (1, 'A')
insert into @categories ([Key], [Type]) values (1, 'B')
insert into @categories ([Key], [Type]) values (2, 'B')
insert into @categories ([Key], [Type]) values (2, 'C')
insert into @categories ([Key], [Type]) values (3, 'D')
insert into @categories ([Key], [Type]) values (4, 'E')
insert into @categories ([Key], [Type]) values (4, 'A')
insert into @categories ([Key], [Type]) values (5, 'F')
insert into @categories ([Key], [Type]) values (5, 'G')
insert into @categories ([Key], [Type]) values (6, 'G')
insert into @categories ([Key], [Type]) values (6, 'H')
Desired output:
Key Type
1 A
1 B
1 C
1 E
2 A
2 B
2 C
3 D
4 A
4 B
4 E
5 F
5 G
5 H
6 F
6 G
6 H


The data element names are wrong. KEY is a reserved word; “Categories" and "type" are called attribute properties in ISO-11179 rules. Matthias Kläy is right; this is a graph problem in disguise, but you can do it with set theory to get what are called
equivalence classes.
An edge in a graph has two nodes. Some authors allow a single node to count as a edge, but a better way is to put the same node on both ends of the edge. Here is the graph in a table with all the needed constraints. This is why you should post DDL and not be
so rude.
DROP TABLE Graph;
CREATE TABLE Graph
(edge INTEGER NOT NULL,
node_1 CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
node_2 CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
CHECK (node_1 <= node_2),
PRIMARY KEY (node_1, node_2));
Here is your data in the correct format.
INSERT INTO Graph
VALUES
(1, 'A', 'B'),
(2, 'B', 'C'),
(3, 'D', 'D'), -- orphan node
(4, 'A', 'E'),
(5, 'F', 'G'),
(6, 'G', 'H');
Now Google Warshall's Algorithm. It uses three nested loops and an adjacency array. This is very clean and fast in a procedural language. Not so much in SQL. Let us do this in steps:
WITH X1 (edge, node1_1, node1_2, node2_1, node2_2 )
AS
(SELECT CASE WHEN G1.edge <> G2.edge
THEN G1.edge ELSE G2.edge END,
G1.node_1, G1.node_2,
G2.node_1, G2.node_2
FROM Graph AS G1, Graph AS G2
WHERE G1.node_1 IN (G2.node_1, G2.node_2)
AND G1.edge <> G2.edge),
X2 (edge, node_1, node_2)
AS
(SELECT edge,
CASE WHEN node1_1 IN (node2_1, node2_2) THEN node1_2 ELSE node1_1 END,
CASE WHEN node2_1 IN (node1_1, node1_2) THEN node2_2 ELSE node2_1 END
FROM X1)
SELECT DISTINCT edge,
CASE WHEN node_1 < node_2 THEN node_1 ELSE node_2 END,
CASE WHEN node_2 < node_1 THEN node_1 ELSE node_2 END
FROM X2;
The X1 subquery gets the paths of length two. The X2 subquery removes the middle node and creates a new sorted edge. Insert these new rows into Graphs, if they are not there. Repeat the process until no more rows are added.
DROP TABLE Graph;
CREATE TABLE Graph
(edge INTEGER NOT NULL,
node_1 CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
node_2 CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
CHECK (node_1 <= node_2),
PRIMARY KEY (node_1, node_2));
INSERT INTO Graph
VALUES
(1, 'A', 'B'),
(2, 'B', 'C'),
(3, 'D', 'D'), -- orphan node
(4, 'A', 'E'),
(5, 'F', 'G'),
(6, 'G', 'H');
Here is the monster rolled up into a single statement.
INSERT INTO Graph
SELECT DISTINCT edge,
CASE WHEN node_1 < node_2 THEN node_1 ELSE node_2 END,
CASE WHEN node_2 < node_1 THEN node_1 ELSE node_2 END
FROM (SELECT edge,
CASE WHEN node1_1 IN (node2_1, node2_2) THEN node1_2 ELSE node1_1 END,
CASE WHEN node2_1 IN (node1_1, node1_2) THEN node2_2 ELSE node2_1 END
FROM
(SELECT CASE WHEN G1.edge < G2.edge
THEN G1.edge ELSE G2.edge END,
G1.node_1, G1.node_2,
G2.node_1, G2.node_2
FROM Graph AS G1, Graph AS G2
WHERE G1.node_1 IN (G2.node_1, G2.node_2)
AND G1.edge <> G2.edge) AS X1(edge,node1_1, node1_2, node2_1, node2_2) )
AS X2(edge, node_1, node_2)
EXCEPT
SELECT * FROM Graph;
SELECT * FROM Graph ORDER BY edge, node_1, node_2;

Handling property name with spaces in SQL query

Hello,
I have some JSON that looks like this:
"SystemId": "112234",
"Parameter": {
"Total Hours": [
"timestamp": "2015-03-15T15:20:00Z",
"itemValue": "0"
"timestamp": "2015-03-15T15:15:00Z",
"itemValue": "296"
..and am having trouble with the space in the "Total Hours" property name. When executing a SQL query, I have tried to reference it as ["Total Hours"], [Total Hours], and "Total Hours", but none of these works. I
have also reviewed the "Querying DocumentDB" and "DocumentDB SQL Query Language" documents, but am unclear on how to escape this space. As this is valid JSON, I would expect to be able to handle it via DocumentDB SQL query, but am
not certain what I am missing.
Thanks for your help.
Please remember to mark replies as answers if they help you.

Given that the property with the name with the space contains an array, I attempted to query using:
SELECT * FROM c WHERE c.Parameter.c["Total Hours"][0].timestamp = "2015-03-15T15:15:00Z" and a few other permutations, but no luck. Did I misunderstand?

APEX validations in updateable reports built on a PL/SQL query

Sorry if the question is not clear (english is not my mother language) or if the answer already exists on the forum (I have not been able to find it).
I build a report on a PL/SQL function query.
In this PL/SQL query i use apex_item.checkboxes or texts to let the end user change/enter some new data.
As i need to do some validations on the user entries, i have already used some events (e.g. onChange) that trigger
simple javascript validations checking if data is numeric or length of data entered....
But i would like to use also the standard validations of APEX to make some more complex validations (e.g. checking coherency) on
many data entered by the end user.
I am trying to build a PL/SQL to loop through the report lines through a checkbox item i have added
but the process of debugging is awfull for me.
- Is there a pointer to a code example of validations within a query report that would help me in achieving this validation
- or could someone give me some clue on how to acess these report data in the interface.
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

Daniel:
You can check out Denes Kubicek's APEX demo site for ideas on how to create validations for a tabular form.

Sql query to fetch data based on date conditons

Hi All,
We have to schedule a script that runs at 1:00 AM from Monday to Friday.
The script will run a sql query ,that will fetch the data from sql database 2008 based on the below conditions.
Case 1: If date = current Date then retrieve the data of the previous Date.
Case 2: If date = Monday then retrieve the entries of Friday ,Saturday and Sunday.
Please help us on how we can achieve this.
Thanks

Hi,
Are you asking about Patrick's
solution?
If so I highly recommend NOT to use this solution. PLease read LMU92's
and
Visakh16's responses.
Why not to use it?
1. This solution is not deterministic!
A deterministic algorithm is an algorithm which, given a particular input, will always produce the same output. This solution give different values for different setting! It is depending for example on "SET LANGUAGE" value
As mentioned above if you try to use any other languge then English then this query will not work since you will never get the value "Sunday"
2. Moreover! Even if you are using "SET LANGUAGE 'English'" then this
solution depend on "SET DATEFIRST" and only take into consideration that the value can be 1 or 7, using any other value you will get that @weekendDateMod is null!
What can you use?
let's test some value first to get the solution yourself. We know that we don't care about "SET LANGUAGE" since I will not use any language dependency but we need to examine "SET DATEFIRST". Try to change the value from 1 to 7 and check
the value of this query
SET DATEFIRST 1 -- Change this value from 1 to 7!
DECLARE @Sunday DATE = '2014-08-03' -- This is Sunday
DECLARE @Munday DATE = '2014-08-04' -- This is Munday
SELECT DATEPART(DW,@Sunday),DATEPART(DW,@Munday), @@DATEFIRST
Can you see the behavior ?
The results are hidden here (select the text and you will see them)
DATEFIRST___Sunday_______Monday
1___________7___________1
2___________6___________7
3___________5___________6
4___________4___________5
5___________3___________4
6___________2___________3
7___________1___________2
assuming you did the exercise above yourself, then you can now think now what is the filter that you need...
You can use a filter on those two parameters together using "where DATEPART... and @@DATEFIRST...) or using one combine check. Can you think how?
Notice that this value is always 2 on Monday! Regarding our setting
(DATEPART(DW,@CurrentDate) + @@DATEFIRST) % 7
Please Don't Go Down Before YOu Understand!
Now we can go to the solution
* I really hope that you read all and did the small exercise yourself! You can not become a developer by copy answers, and this is the reason that from the start I only gave you tha way and not the final query!
DECLARE @CurrentDate DATE = '2007-08-20' -- This is only for testing since you should use the function GETDATE() instead
DECLARE @MinDateToFilter DATE
SET @MinDateToFilter = CASE
WHEN ((DATEPART(DW,@CurrentDate) + @@DATEFIRST) % 7) = 2 THEN DATEADD(DAY,-4,@CurrentDate)
ELSE DATEADD(DAY,-1,@CurrentDate)
END
SELECT *
FROM sales.salesOrderHeader
WHERE orderDate > @MinDateToFilter
I hope this was useful :-)

Codepage in SQL query?

Trying to create a form in InfoPath and
publish it to SharePoint. In the form one field
receives the code, the rest on the basis of
code filled by information from the SQL
database. When filling out forms
via InfoPath Filler on the client everything works, but if
the form is filled through a web-interface at SharePoint site - Russian
letters in the field of the SQL
query are substituted in the form "?????????".

Hi Bareika,
let me summarize a bit,
if you put the content using infopath form that is not using web interface the issue will appear, but if using infopath filler the issue not reproducible, correct?
i am not quite sure, if you should add the infopath form language will help to force the language of the form so it will recognize your local language.

to debug this, perhaps you can try to grab the culture info from the sharepoint first, so that we can make sure that sharepoint recognize your local language and correctly passed on, for example, 'web.locale'

JSTL, MySQL, Tomcat sql:query error

Hi to everyone...
This is my first post, but since im employed now as a java developer ill be here regulary.
Right now im trying to use the JSTL to make some simple sql selects in my JSPs....
Here�s the JSP code:
<%@ page language="java" import="java.lang.*,java.util.*" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/jstl-core" prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/jstl-sql" prefix="sql" %>
<html>
<head>
<title> A first JSP database </title>
</head>
<body>
<sql:setDataSource scope="session" var="dataSource"
url="jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/zolltek" driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
user="root" password="root"/>

<sql:update var="users" dataSource="${dataSource}" scope="session">
INSERT INTO test VALUES (7,'Paul Oakenfold')
</sql:update>

<sql:query var="users" dataSource="${dataSource}" scope="session">
SELECT * FROM test WHERE 1
</sql:query>
</body>
</html>
...and the error message:
exception :
org.apache.jasper.JasperException:
SELECT * FROM test WHERE 1
: null
at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:254)
at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:295)
root cause
javax.servlet.ServletException:
SELECT * FROM test WHERE 1
: null
at org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.handlePageException(PageContextImpl.java:531)
at org.apache.jsp.index_jsp._jspService(index_jsp.java:84)
...and just for completion the importent part of my web.xml:
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/jstl-core</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/c-1_0.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/jstl-sql</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/sql-1_0.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
i am using the jboss 3.2.3 tomcat bundle (tomcat 4.1.29)
and mysql 4.0.18 on W32 System....
the JSTL is installed and working - i can make <sql:update>Inserts without any problems, but any <sql:query>selects result in that error... so i guess the setDataSource is okay...
Any idea would be appreciated....
Thx
J�rg

Those URIs you've got in your JSPs aren't correct. They should be:
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="sql" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/sql" %>
These are the URIs defined in the standard.jar.
You'd be better off setting up a Tomcat JNDI data source for your application. That will externalize the connection parameters and make it unnecessary to refer to a data source in your JSPs.
You'd be even better off not putting SQL code in your JSPs. They're for presentation. Better to write a Java object that will communicate with the database on the JSP's behalf.
If you just want to select all the rows in the table, the query should be "SELECT * FROM test". You don't need a WHERE clause in that case.
If you change the URIs in your JSPs you should remove the <taglib> from your web.xml. It's not necessary. Tomcat will find the TLD by looking in the JARs in the CLASSPATH and matching the URIs.

Force index not getting picked up while running the SQL Query

Hi All,
We are facing an issue with one SQL Query. We have created a custom Index and we are using that index in our query by using the following syntax:
/*+INDEX(ol XXEXH_ORDER_LINES_N2)*/
Where
ol – Table Alias Name
XXEXH_ORDER_LINES_N2 – Index Name
But still the index is not getting picked up in the Explain Plan.
If any one of you have faced a similar issue then please let us know how you had resolved it.
Appreciate your help.

Having trouble writing to a database although SQL query is correct

Hi there. I am trying to write an sql query to a database but I am failing to understand what is going wrong in terms of executing the query.
I have the following code.
static public int writeToStockTable (String suppIn, String nameIn, String typeIn, float quantIn, float priceIn, String descIn, String styleIn, String finishIn) { // Temporary variable to hold the SQL query String SQLString, SQLString2; ResultSet rs = null; // Build a string containing the SQL INSERT instruction to be used later SQLString = "INSERT INTO "+typeIn+" VALUES ('1', '" + suppIn + "', '" + nameIn + "', " + quantIn + ", " + priceIn + ", '"+descIn+"', '"+styleIn+"', '"+finishIn+"')"; SQLString2 = "SELECT Name FROM Suppliers WHERE Name = '" + suppIn + "'"; try { // The createStatement() method creates a Statement object. Object will be // attached to my reference variable (statement) defined at the top of class. statement = connectionToBellFiresDB.createStatement(); // The executeUpdate() statement can be used here to execute an // SQL INSERT instruction. rs = statement.executeQuery (SQLString2); if ((rs == null)) { System.out.println ("Trying to say no supplier"); return (-2); } else { System.out.println (SQLString); statement.executeUpdate (SQLString); } } catch (SQLException exception) { return (-1); // Return -1 if problem writing record to file } return (0); // Return with 0 if record successfully written }
Please ignore the attributes not used, it is very much a work in progress. The command that prints SQLString prints
INSERT INTO Fireplace VALUES ('1', 'a', 'a', 1.0, 1.0, 'a', 'a', 'a')
which is correct, but will return the error code -1 when asked to execute the query. The database jdbc:odbc driver has been initialised in the control panel and the program has no other problems accessing the database as far as i am aware.
Any help would be appreciated, i hate database connections :)

Im sorry i dont know what you mean by eating the exception, im quite a noob at programming to be honest!
How do i print it out and what is a stack trace?Do you know what an exception is? If not, then you should stay far away from JDBC/Database programming for the time being.
Read [the Exception Tutorial|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/exceptions/] first.
Then: an exception has quite a bit of useful information attached that tells you what went wrong.
In your case you catch the exception and ignore everything it could tell you by simply returning -1. Returning 0 and -1 to indicate success/failure is a very bad idea and should not be used in Java code, it's a C-style convention for C-era programming languages. In Java you use exceptions instead.
For starters you could simply add "exception.printStackTrace()" in your catch-block to get some more information out of the exception.

Simple SQL query statement is needed

I need a simple SQL query to fetch records which is existed in all the departments.
for example: i want to list the employees which are existed in each and every department.. not sure how should i get those.. will anyone help me please.. thanks in advance

I think it would be wise to go to the following training:
Oracle Database <version> : Introduction to SQL
You will get the information you are looking for in five days. You can go find a tutorial on ANSI SQL, as advised by this board for free, to fix your immediate problem with a simple query. But, I personally recommend a more formal class specific to Oracle, as you will also get information about PL/SQL, and you get the benefit with working with other DBA/programmers when you are learning. This will solve your immediate issue, and any future issues with the language.
You can find it in the Education section of the Oracle website.
