SQL query return wrong Windows version

when excuting 'select @@VERSION' returns wrong Windows version. Why?

when excuting 'select @@VERSION' returns wrong Windows version. Why?
SELECT @@VERSION will return SQLServer version and not windows version
Even in case of sql, if you're seeing a different version from what your management studio suggests, then it may be that you're SSMS (client tool) is of another later version whereas the server instance which you're actually connecting to may
be of different (earlier) version.

Creating a directory via a jsp page sql query return

Is it possible to create a directory based on the results of a sql query?
i.e.
My sql query returns application number 1234 for a building application (BC for short).
Is it possible to create a directory /BC/1234
It is then proposed to use an iframe to look into the directory so users can place and access scanned documents which are captured during the approval process.
If so how?
An example would be great.
Jason

Sorry hope your still around I've been away for a while. We've created a samber share to the file server where the documents are stored and mounted it within the web file directory. It works ok if there is an existing directory but if there isn't we want it to be created when the page looks for the folder. I've done this with an asp page it basically did a directory exist test first then create folder if it didn't. The problem is can't find an example of how to do the directory exist test then directory create syntax so an example of both would be great

SQL query returns varchar - default value type!!!

On a field in my portal form there is a default value type of 'SQL query returns varchar', where can I put this sql to get a default value from a table?

Hi again
I have this code in 'additional pl/sql code' - '...before displaying the page'. But it comes up with an error when I run the form.
declare
prop_v varchar2(20);
group_v varchar2(3);
el1_v varchar2(3);
blk varchar2(10) := 'DEFAULT';
begin
prop_v := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(p_block_name=>'DEFAULT', p_attribute_name => 'l_property_p');
group_v := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(p_block_name=>'DEFAULT', p_attribute_name => 'l_group_p');
select element_code
into el1_v
from eh_risk_element_detail
where property_ref = prop_v
and group_code = group_v
and line_no = 1;
p_session.set_value(p_block_name => blk, p_attribute_name => 'L_ELEMENT1_P', p_value => el1_v);

Simple query returns wrong results in Sql 2012

On my Windows 8 box running Sql 2012 11.0.3128, this query returns an IncludeCount of 0 and an ExcludeCount of 1.
On my Windows 7 box running Sql 2008 10.50.2550 this query returns an IncludeCount of 3 and an ExcludeCount of 1, which is correct.
In short, it runs properly on these versions of OS and Sql's:
Windows 2008 R2 + Sql 10.50.2550
Windows 2008 R2 + Sql 10.50.4000
Windows 2012 SP1 + Sql 11.0.3000
Windows 7 + Sql 11.0.2100
And gives incorrect results on these OS's and Sql's (so far, tested):
Windows 8 Enterprise + Sql 11.0.3128
Windows 2008 R2 + Sql 10.50.2550
I wondered if anyone else can reproduce this? I can't figure out the magic combination of OS and SQL version this breaks on.
In all scenarios, the resulting @filters table is populated correctly, and the [Include] column is properly set to a 1 or a 0, so why aren't the other variables being properly set?
If I change the [ID] column to NONCLUSTERED, it works fine, too. It doesn't matter if @filters is a TVP or a temp table or an actual table, same (incorrect) results in each case.
DECLARE @filters TABLE([ID] bigint PRIMARY KEY, [Include] bit)
DECLARE @excludecount int = 0
DECLARE @includecount int = 0
DECLARE @id bigint
INSERT INTO @filters ([ID])
VALUES (1), (3), (4), (-7)
UPDATE @filters SET
    @id = [ID],
    @includecount = @includecount + (CASE WHEN @id > 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END),
    @excludecount = @excludecount + (CASE WHEN @id < 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END),
    [Include] = CASE WHEN @id > 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END,
    [ID] = ABS(@id)
SELECT @includecount as IncludeCount, @excludecount as ExcludeCount
SELECT * FROM @filters

What part is undocumented?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177523.aspx
The above link states I can update variables inside an UPDATE statement ...
But it does not say what the correct result of what you are trying to would be. Variable assignment in UPDATE only makes sense if the UPDATE hits one row. If the UPDATE matches several rows, which value you the variable is set to is not defined.
It gets even more complicated when you have the variable on both sides of the expression. But I'd say that the only two values that makes as the final value of @includecount 0. An UPDATE statement, like other DML statements in SQL, is logically defined
as all-at-once. There are no intermediate results. Therefore the only possible values are the initial value of @includecount plus the value of the CASE statement, which always should returns 0, since @id is NULL when the UPDATE statement starts to execute.
I'm afraid that what you have is nonsense from a language perspective, and the result is undefined. Whenever you get different results from a query depending on whether you have certain indexes in place, you know that the query is indeterministic. There
are certainly part of SQL that are indeterministic, for instance ORDER BY on a non-unique columns. But in this particular case you have also wandered out into the land that is also undefined.
I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve, but I can only advice you to go back to the drawing board.

SQL Query with wrong result

Hello.
I have a query with LEFT OUTER JOIN that I think returns invalid results. Here are the problem details:
CREATE TABLE DOGERR(
IdDog INTEGER,
SfPdg CHAR(1),
IdVpl INTEGER,
SfVpGot INTEGER,
SfZrr CHAR(1)
INSERT INTO DOGERR(IdDog, SfPdg, IdVpl, SfVpGot, SfZrr) VALUES (1, 'S', 1, 1, '7');
INSERT INTO DOGERR(IdDog, SfPdg, IdVpl, SfVpGot, SfZrr) VALUES (2, 'S', 1, 1, '7');
INSERT INTO DOGERR(IdDog, SfPdg, IdVpl, SfVpGot, SfZrr) VALUES (3, '$', 1, 2, 'C');
COMMIT;
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX DOGERR_PK ON DOGERR(IdDog);
And now the query:
SELECT D.IdDog, D.SfPdg, D.IdVpl, D.SfVpGot, D.SfZrr, T.IdVpl AS IdVplJoin, T.SfVpGot AS SfVpGotJoin, T.SfZrr AS SfZrrJoin
FROM DOGERR D
LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT * FROM DOGERR WHERE SfPdg = 'S' OR SfPdg = 'S') T ON
T.IdVpl = D.IdVpl AND T.SfVpGot = D.SfVpGot AND T.SfZrr = D.SfZrr
WHERE
D.IdDog = 3
AND D.SfVpGot = 2
AND D.SfZrr = 'C';
This query should (by my understanding) return only one row in wich the joined subquery columns should be NULL. And indeed query returns only one row on Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production and on Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production:
IDDOG = 3, SFPDG = "$", IDVPL = 1, SFVPGOT = 2, SFZRR = "C", IDVPLJOIN = NULL, SFVPGOTJOIN = NULL, SFZRRJOIN = NULL
But on Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0 - 64bit Production it returns TWO rows:
IDDOG = 3, SFPDG = "$", IDVPL = 1, SFVPGOT = 2, SFZRR = "C", IDVPLJOIN = 1, SFVPGOTJOIN = 1, SFZRRJOIN = "7"
IDDOG = 3, SFPDG = "$", IDVPL = 1, SFVPGOT = 2, SFZRR = "C", IDVPLJOIN = 1, SFVPGOTJOIN = 1, SFZRRJOIN = "7"
And now the interesting part: any of the following modified versions of query works even on Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0 - 64bit Production, although modifications should not modify the result set:
-- Removed unnecessary WHERE conditions
SELECT D.IdDog, D.SfPdg, D.IdVpl, D.SfVpGot, D.SfZrr, T.IdVpl AS IdVplJoin, T.SfVpGot AS SfVpGotJoin, T.SfZrr AS SfZrrJoin
FROM DOGERR D
LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT * FROM DOGERR WHERE SfPdg = 'S' OR SfPdg = 'S') T ON
T.IdVpl = D.IdVpl AND T.SfVpGot = D.SfVpGot AND T.SfZrr = D.SfZrr
WHERE
D.IdDog = 3;
-- Removed unnecessary OR condition in subquery
SELECT D.IdDog, D.SfPdg, D.IdVpl, D.SfVpGot, D.SfZrr, T.IdVpl AS IdVplJoin, T.SfVpGot AS SfVpGotJoin, T.SfZrr AS SfZrrJoin
FROM DOGERR D
LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT * FROM DOGERR WHERE SfPdg = 'S') T ON
T.IdVpl = D.IdVpl AND T.SfVpGot = D.SfVpGot AND T.SfZrr = D.SfZrr
WHERE
D.IdDog = 3
AND D.SfVpGot = 2
AND D.SfZrr = 'C';
-- Removed columns from joined subquery from SELECT part
SELECT D.IdDog, D.SfPdg, D.IdVpl, D.SfVpGot, D.SfZrr, T.IdVpl AS IdVplJoin, T.SfVpGot AS SfVpGotJoin
FROM DOGERR D
LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT * FROM DOGERR WHERE SfPdg = 'S' OR SfPdg = 'S') T ON
T.IdVpl = D.IdVpl AND T.SfVpGot = D.SfVpGot AND T.SfZrr = D.SfZrr
WHERE
D.IdDog = 3
AND D.SfVpGot = 2
AND D.SfZrr = 'C';
NOTE: the query itself is a little stupid but this is just to demonstrate the problem. We have faced this problem at a customer with our real-world query.
So, my question is: why different results ?
Thanks.

Exists (SQL query returns at least one row) condition with MAX on 10.2.0.4

I just wanted to note this on the forum..
I'm using Apex 3.0.1.00.08
My DEV environment has just been upgraded from 10g version 10.2.0.2.0 to 10.2.0.4.0.
I created the following process to select some values into some items on my Form page.
select MAX(STAT_YEAR+1)
      , pcd.pct_id
      , pcd.stat_type_id
      , pcd.stat_period_type_id
      , pcd.measurement_id
into    :P11_STAT_YEAR
      , :P11_PCT_ID
      , :P11_STAT_TYPE_ID
      , :P11_STAT_PERIOD_TYPE_ID
      , :P11_MEASUREMENT_ID
from plant_commodity_data pcd
    , stat_type stt
where pcd.STAT_TYPE_ID = stt.STAT_TYPE_ID
and pcd.pct_id = :P0_PCT_ID
and stt.stat_type = 'PRD'
group by pcd.pct_id
      , pcd.stat_type_id
      , pcd.stat_period_type_id
      , pcd.measurement_id;The process should run conditionally if there was at least one row to select...
So I copied the SQL into the Process condition, removed the "into" section and set the condition type to be "Exists (SQL query retruns at least one row) ...
select MAX(STAT_YEAR+1)
      , pcd.pct_id
      , pcd.stat_type_id
      , pcd.stat_period_type_id
      , pcd.measurement_id
from plant_commodity_data pcd
    , stat_type stt
where pcd.STAT_TYPE_ID = stt.STAT_TYPE_ID
and pcd.pct_id = :P0_PCT_ID
and stt.stat_type = 'PRD'
group by pcd.pct_id
      , pcd.stat_type_id
      , pcd.stat_period_type_id
      , pcd.measurement_id;This worked perfectly until the DEV environment was upgraded from 10g version 10.2.0.2.0 to 10.2.0.4.0.
The condition would fire even if there were no rows returning.
I pasted the condition code into SQL Developer connected to the DEV (10.2.0.4.0) environment and it returned no rows.
To solve the problem, I removed the MAX.
You can test this using this code if you have access to the two versions... select MAX(1)
      , sysdate
      , 'Gus'
from dual
where 1 = 2
group by sysdate, 2Now I know the MAX isn't required in the condition as I'm just trying to find out if any rows exist, but it was there as I copied the code in... I was just wondering why this happened between 10.2.0.2.0 and 10.2.0.4.0?
Gus..

Hi Gus,
try to execute
select count(*) from dual where exists (select MAX(1)
      , sysdate
      , 'Gus'
from dual
where 1 = 2
group by sysdate, 2)in SQL Developer. The above statement is generated by APEX for an "Exists (SQL query retruns at least one row)". Can't test it, because I don't have a 10.2.0.4.0 at hand.
Does SQL Developer now show the same behavior?

SQL Query returns question marks

I am seeing a SQL Query, executed via ADODB in VB, from a 10G client (don't know exact version) to a Sun Solaris based 9.2.0.5.0 Server return all question marks...Table queried consists of 3 columns, 2 varchar2, one long: Here query:
SELECT SETTINGVALUE FROM EWORKFLO.CONFIG WHERE SETTINGGROUP='New test' AND SETTINGNAME='Single Page'
The query results in 2576 question marks...(????? etc).
Any idea what may be going on here?
Thanks...
Leendert

Hello Tak,
Thanks for replying. When this query is run from SQLPLUS we get a proper result back, that is the actual values from the SETTINGVALUE column. This is the LONG column and contains data like this:
[Scan Section]
DeviceTimeout=15
Display=1
hDCCreate=0
Unit=0
DialogTitle=
IniFileName=c:\winnt\temp\kf.ini
IniSectionName=Scan Section
DeviceCache=1
etc....etc....
Depending on the settings created, the return string may vary in length.

APEX,PDF's, BI Publisher and SQL Query returning SQL code..

I don't know if I should be posting this in this Forum or the BI Publisher forum, so I am posting in BOTH forums..
I love APEX, let me say that first.. And appreciate the support offered here by the group, but am running int a confusing issue when BI Publisher tries to build a report from the above type APEX report..
Here is my dilemma:
I have a number of reports that are part of a Oracle package. They return an SQL Query back to a reports region on a page. I am having to deal with the column names returned are col01, col02..
The issue I have is, when building the Application Level query to download the XML sample from in building RTF layouts in Word, you can not use this code, you MUST use a standard SQL Select.
I have taken the sql from the function returning sql, and copied into the application query, supplying the required data values for bind variables being used in the query.
An XML file is produced, and I use this to build the RTF format file that I load back into APEX and try to use it for the PDF rendering of the report. I can view the output as a PDF in the Word add on, but when I try using it with the report, it is returning an empty PDF file.
Can anyone tell me what error log files on the bi publisher side I can look at to see what error is happening?
Thank you,

Tony,
You can find the log as follows:
- go to http://[yourserver]:[yourport]/em
- logon to OC4J EM: oc4jadmin/[yourpassword]
- click on "logs" at the bottom of the page
- in the hgrid/tree, expand OC4J->home->Application
xmlpserver
- click on view log icon
You can also observe what's going on in BI Publisher
by going to the command prompt from where you started
it.
Or, as a third option, you can locate the file on
your file system, depending on your setup, the path
would be something similar to this:
\oracle\product\10.2.0\bip\j2ee\home\application-deplo
yments\xmlpserver\application.log
With that said though, I don't expect you'll find
much in there that would help with your particular
problem. I suspect you either get no rows in your XML
at runtime, due to some session state issues, or your
XML structure does in fact not match your RTF
template.
I'm not quite following your problem description,
i.e. when did you do what and are you associating
your report layout with a report query or report
region. So just some general notes, your query needs
to be parseable at design-time, when exporting the
XML, so that you get the XML file with the proper
column names derived from your query. If you want to
use your RTF template with a standard report region,
you must export the XML file first using the advanced
XML structure option. And of course the column names
in your report query need to match the column names
in your report region.
Perhaps this helps you further diagnose what's going
on, if you have additional information that could
help, let me know. And if you could stage this on
apex.oracle.com, I'd be happy to take a look.
Regards,
MarcMarc,
Thanks for looking at this issue. Below find my remarks to your questions..
Re: your query needs
to be parseable at design-time, when exporting the
XML, so that you get the XML file with the proper
column names derived from your query.At the start of this process, the query code was a function in a package. The function was returning an SQL select statement, for a report region on a page. I took the select statement, built an application query to build a sample of the xml for BI Publisher desktop (Add-on for Word). The code was producing the usual Col01, Col02.. since at design time that is were the column names.
When I then took the xml from this and built the rtf for loading into my APEX application.
When testing the Application Query with this RTF report layout, I am getting PDF's. When using it with the report region sending an xml feed to BI Publisher I am getting nothing back.
I have since taken the sql code and moved it back into the report region, and set the region to have a type of straight SQL Query. I have even tried to hard-code the parameters I was getting from the page to limit data returned.
Is it possible to see the xml being produced by the APEX page?
Re: Stage this on apex.oracle.com.. I would love to, but we would have HIPPA issues if I posted the data on a public website.
Can I send you the RTF file and the xml file that the application query is creating to see if there something weird about them?
Thank you,

SQL Query returns values like "---" and "NA"

Hi
When I execute a sql query in MII it returns values like "---" and "NA" for empty Char and numeric fields respectively.
I have checked the database and made sure that these fields does not have any value. This happens only when I run the query through MII. Can any one know how can we get rid of these values?
Thanks in advance
Shaji

Shaji,
MII sets those values as a default if it discovers null values in a query result. You can change this default behaviour in several ways.
First, have a look at the document [Setting custom null values in XML|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70628af0-8ec4-2c10-7da2-f451e412dd8f?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]. Then you may also use SQL functions like [NVL|http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/functions/nvl.php] to change the value directly in the SQL query. You can also change the value inside the MII BLT to whatever you need.

Why does Oracle SQL query returning a date field without the time component

Hi,
I'm a novice SQL user & hv just installed Oracle SQL developer (Version 3.0.04, Build MAIN-04.34).
I made the same SQL query using "Oracle SQL developer" & "TOAD for Oracle 9.0.1" but I got 2 different format on the same date field:
On TOAD, I get the date field extracted as *04/26/2011 23:12:58*
On Oracle, I get the date field extracted as *26/APR/11*
Why is the Oracle result in a different format & missing the time component?
Is there any option/preference that I need to set in Oracle SQL developer to get the full date/time format displayed?
I've tried to set my the date format to DD/MON/RR HH12:MI:SSXFF AM under the preference -> database NLS but I still get the same format!
Plse help!

SQL History - returning wrong statement if history is sorted

I have searched the forum and not seen anything on this, but I have been getting the wrong SQL statement returned when I select Append/Replace.
I have statements going back to 12-Jan-06 (using 804 since 13-Jan-06, 796 since 12-Jan-06 and 715 last year), so I don't know if I have hit the aging limit or not (I think I counted 221 entries).
It seems to me that it works out the cursor position and then returns that statement number from the history - independently of resorting the history.
For example, if I sort from oldest to newest (based on timestamp) and then select the bottom statement (displays as newest) and Replace, I get the oldest statement in the worksheet. If I select the top statement (displays as oldest) and Replace, I get the newest statement in the worksheet.
This is further complicated by the fact that sorting on the Timestamp is doing an alpha-numeric sort, rather than a date sort. When sorting from oldest to newest, the bottom three timestamps are (in "oldest to newest" order) are:
1/23/06 10:58 AM
1/23/06 9:21 AM
1/23/06 9:31 AM
If I then remove the sorting, the statement returned is the correct one.

It was great to get the fix for the SQL History returning the right statement if sorted (we got it in v1184).
However v1215 still does a text sort on the TimeStamp column rather than a date sort, so 2PM comes before 9AM, etc.
Also, where is the format for the TimeStamp column coming from? As someone who doesn't live in the US and thinks that days should come before months in date formats (ie DD-Mon-YYYY), I am frustrated by yet another product that uses MM/DD/YY, despite my best efforts at telling it otherwise.

SQL Query to check window firewalls ports

Hi All,
I am looking for a sql query like below to check inbound sql ports opened in window firewall.
Below query display all firewall ports but my requirement is to display ports opened related to sql server.
EXECUTE [master].[dbo].[xp_cmdshell] 'netsh advfirewall firewall show rule name=any |find "sql"'
Thanks,
Nani.
NB

To find the answer, you would first find which ports that are "SQL ports", and this you can find by looking in the errorlog or the registry for each instance if you want to do it programmatically.
To check Windows firewall programmatically, I have no idea, and it is definitely not a question for an SQL Server forum. Find the suitable Windows forum.
And, no, there is no SQL query you can write to do this. But Powershell may work.

SQL Query to find Discoverer version installed

Hi ,
As a developer, Is there a back-end DB sql query (or script) that can be run on DB to find the version of Oracle Discoverer installed?
Will the query be different if Discoverer is used with Oracle Applications (R12.1.3) as compared to a Discoverer running on a plain stand alone Oracle Database (no Oracle apps)?
thanks,
gg.

Hello gg
The VER_NAME and VER_DESCRIPTION are typically never filled in and can be ignnored.
The VER_RELEASE is the EUL version as you rightly summised. This version is 100% compatible with Discoverer 11g and if you already have it you can upgrade from 10g to 11g without changing anything in the EUL
VER_MIN_CODE_VER is the minimum version of Oracle Discoverer that can be used with this EUL. In this case 10.1.2.45.20 is 10g Release 2
VER_EUL_TIMESTAMP is the date and time this version of the EUL was released by Oracle - again you can ignore it
The important fields therefore are the VER_RELEASE and VER_MIN_CODE_VER
Hope this helps
Best wishes

SQL query returns value but EXEC SQL Task fails to assign variable

I have an execute SQL task to get an identifier from an Oracle database and assign it to a variable (the variable is used in subsequent query's where clauses to transfer the data to a SQL Server database). If I copy the query from the SSIS
package to the Oracle SQL Developer interface and run the query; I get the expected single identifier. If I run the execute SQL task I get the error "[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "VariableName":
"Single Row result set is specified, but no rows were returned."
I can create phony/simpler versions of the query that will return the wrong identifier that will successfully assign the value to the variable, so the problem isn't with the variable itself or the way the result set is set up in the task (Result
Set/Single Row in the General panel; Result Name 0/VariableName in the Result Set panel).
How can two queries that return a single value produce different results with respect to the variable assignment process?

Perhaps you can trap (profile) the query in Oracle to see what it gets submitted,
thing is this query
select id from table where ProcessedStatusColumn is null and DateColumn = (sub select to get most recent date in table where ProcessedStatusColumn is null)
is not guaranteed to return a value, you need a default returned in case the search failed e.g.
select
NVL(id, 0)
from table where ProcessedStatusColumn is null and DateColumn =
(sub select to get most recent date in table where
ProcessedStatusColumn is null)
