System table contains data types

Hi all,
I am migrating queries from SqlServer 7.0 to Oracle. I found a system tabel Systypes in SqlServer 7.0 which contains all the avaliable datatypes. Is there any similar table in Oracle from which we can get all data types. Any reply will be appreciated.

Modify Table column data type

Dear All,
We have one user contains more than 100 tables(Production). I need to change some of table columns data types without affect data's.
Please suggest me to do that.
Thanks in advance,
Moorthy.GS

Dear Sybrand,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried below ways to modify the datatypes.
1) Tried to modify datatype FLOAT to NUMBER while data is persists.
2) Tried to take a export of that user and import the dump without data's and modify the datatype. After that, i tried to import the dump with rows=y option. But it failed due to constraint problems.
Please advise...

Create List of Tables/Columns/Data Types

I am new to Oracle (from SQL Server) and I am looking for a query that will create a list of tables, columns, data types, etc. (data dictionary) in an Oracle database -- one that I can import into, say, MS Access or use Crystal reports and create a report that shows the same.
I had a query to do this in SQL Server -- but it was specific to SQL Server. Does anyone have one to do the same in Oracle? I'm hoping not to have to re-invent the wheel.
Thanks!

Hi user653145!
The Data Dictionary has many queries to view informations. Some of these view are
dba_tables
dba_tab_columns
dba_views
etc.
Look for the "Oracle Database Referenc" in the Oracle Onlinedocumentation at
http://tahiti.oracle.com
to get a full list of all data dictionary views.
hope this helps!

How to call a stored procedure that has Table Of data types in VB6?

Hi everyone,
I need to call a stored procedure that has a Table Of data type as an input parameter (possibly even several Table Of input parameters). I can't seem to find any example of how to do this in VB6 using ODBC. Is this even possible?
Thanks you!
Steve

Thanks,
but I need to test stored procedures that uses type defined in the package.
e.g.
if I have s.p.
PROCEDURE get_risultati_squadra
( in_squadra IN VARCHAR2,
out_serie OUT tab_varchar2_5,
out_tiporisultato OUT tab_varchar2_5,
out_n_giornata OUT tab_varchar2_5,
out_squadre OUT tab_varchar2_200,
out_risultato OUT tab_varchar2_10,
out_marcatore OUT tab_varchar2_50,
out_punti OUT tab_varchar2_3,
out_rimbalzista OUT tab_varchar2_50,
out_rimbalzi OUT tab_varchar2_3,
out_esito OUT tab_varchar2_2);
I have to define every type external to the package, in this case five new TYPE !!
Is there another way to solve this problem?
Thanks

Error when insert data in Sql Server table(DateTime data type)

Hello all,
I have created a database link in oracle 11g to SQL Server 2008 using Sqlserver gateway for oracle,Oracle run on Linux and SQL Server run on Windows platform.
I have queried a table and it fetches rows from the target table.
I am using this syntax for insert a row in Sql Server table.
Insert into Prod@sqlserver (NUMITEMCODE, NUMPREOPENSTOCK, NUMQNTY, NUMNEWOPENSTOCK, DATPRODDATE , TXTCOMPANYCODE, "bolstatus", NUMRESQNTY )
Values (1118 , 1390.0 , 100.0 ,1490 , '2012-06-23 12:37:58.000','SFP' ,0 , 0 );
but it give me error on DATPRODDATE,The data type of DATPRODDATE column in Sql Server is DATETIME.
My Question is how can i pass the date values in INSERT statement for Sql Server DateTime data type.
Regards

Just as with Oracle, you have to specify the date using the to_date() function or use the native date format for the target database (if you can figure out what that is). This is good practice anyway and a good habit to get into.

Database adapter not importing table having data type as WF_EVENT_T

Hi All,
I have a requirement to import a table in the Database adapter. That table is having a column of data type “WF_EVENT_T”.
When I tried to import the table in database adapter I got the error as "The following tables are not supported in the Database Adapter and were not imported".
Then I modified the table by adding one more column with some other data type and tried to import that table.
It got imported successfully but I was not able to see the column with data type WF_EVENT_T in the table.
Any pointers to this would be of great help.
Thanks.

Hi Harish
Thanks for your response.
I can create the table with the data type 'String'. However, the problem is when I try to update the table from a program in SE38 or a Function Module in SE37.
When I try to activate the PROGRAM or FUCNTION, I GET A MESSAGE THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER.
Here is the simple program that I have created that I am not able to activate
==========================================
REPORT ZTEST_STRING1.
tables: ztest.
ztest-zid = 2.
ztest-zstring1 = 'ABC'.
insert ztest.
===========================================
ztest has two fields
zid which is NUMC type
and zstring1 which is STRING type.
When I try to activate I get an error message as follows:
'ztest' must be a flat structure. You cannot use internal tables,
strings, references, or structures as components.

How to enter values to a database table with data type 'LCHR'?

Hello All,
I have created a database table with five fields, of which the last field is 'Value' field in which i have to enter text with a maximum of 1000characters. I have also specified a 'Length' field preceding the 'Value' field.
The datatype specified for the 'Length' field is 'INT2' and for the value field is 'LCHR' with length 1000.
When i tried inserting values to the table through a report, the report is giving an error that 'Literals that take up more than one line are not permitted', which means 255characters.
Also, when i entered a short text which is less than 250 characters to the 'Value' field,, the report is working fine and the table entry is visible.
Can anyone help me in this?
It would be really helpful if you explain how to use 'LCHR' data type in tables and how to enter values to such a field with more than 255characters.
Thanks in Advance,
Shino

Hi shino,
Alternatively,
you can use STRING instead of LCHR.
I too have tried with LCHR and am facing the same issue.. i am not sure why its coming..
i have tried STRING and its working perfectly.
wa-key_field = 'IN4'.
CONCATENATE 'Long text over 200 chars length '
              'another Long text over 200 chars length '
              'another Long text over 200 chars length '
              INTO wa-long_text.
wa-len = strlen( wa-long_text ).
INSERT zshino_table from wa.
SELECT * FROM zshino_table INTO table it.
clear wa.
LOOP AT it INTO wa.
      WRITE:/ wa-len, ' ' , wa-long_text.
ENDLOOP.
Also, remember to set the type of the database field as String.
hope this was of some help,
thanks and regards,
Sagar.

Check table in data type AFNAM (Name of Requisitioner/Requester)

Hello,
To satisfy a customer's requirement, I changed data type AFNAM so that it would have a search help. The search help name of this data type now points to the ZAFNAM view - this view is based on table ZQQPVS001, where I keep the valid entries for the field.
Here.'s my problem: at least in one of the standard transactions ( ME5A - List Display of Purchase Requisitions), I can get help pressing F4 on the field but I cannot see the help button on the right side of the field. In other transactions (namely ME22n ), I can see the small round button.
Any clues?

Joã

Why do dimension tables contain data?

Hi there,
as far as I understodd the BW datamodel, the dimensions are to summon characteristics that do belong to the specific view I want to access via my InfoCube. So, the dimensional tables should contain just the mapping between DimIDs and SID, shouldn't they? What else do these dimensional tables contain??
Thanks,
Pascal

Hi,
I think the concept of using dimension table as the intermediate to SID And Facttable is to develope <i>extended star schema</i>. So that it allowing more than 13 characterstics in infocube.

Problem creating cache group for a table with data type varchar2(1800 CHAR)

Hi,
I am using TimesTen 7.0 with Oracle 10.2.0.4 server. While creating Cache Group for one of my table I'm getting the following error.
5121: Non-standard type mapping for column TICKET.DESCRIPTION, cache operations are restricted
5168: Restricted cache groups are deprecated
5126: A system managed cache group cannot contain non-standard column type mapping
The command failed.
One of my filed type in oracle table is Varchar2(1800 CHAR). If I change the filed size to <=1000 it (E.g. Varchar2(1000 CHAR)) then the Create Cache command works fine.
MyDatabase Character Set is UTF8.
Is it possible to solve without changing the filed size in the Oracle Table?
Request your help on this.
Thanks,
Sunil

New table contains data after Successful activation

HI All,
one DSO activation got failed due to red request which was present in the target. We repeated the DSO Activation step once we deleted the bad request from DSO and it got completed successfully.
Generally, as part of ODS Activation, the data will move to ACTIVE table and CHANGELOG table and after that the same data will get delete from the ACTIVATION(NEW) queue (u201CU tableu201D).
After that DSO Activation termination, U table data is not getting deleted for that particular table.
As per the SAP note u201C680480u201D, if any termination happens while activating DSO then there might be a chance of just activating the request after that it wonu2019t delete the activation queue. And also, from that point of time onwards the new table continue to grow.
The above mentioned sap note contains solution upto the version BW 3.5. As my system is BI 7.0, we cant implement any patches as mentioned in the note.
Can any one please tell me in which table and all do i need to delete the entry of that particular request from the table apart from RSODSACTREQ.
Reards,
Sridevi.

Hi Sridevi,
Actually it's not advisable to delete the entries from the DB tables. But at times, we are forced to do that to avoid inconsistencies in the system.
If there are no pending requests in DSO for activation and if you are able to upload further to downsteam data targets like Cubes, you need not to worry about Activation Queue.
For the time being, since you have already deleted bad entries from RSODSACTREQ and RSREQICODS tables, I feel there will not be any inconsistencies in the system.. So do not delete from any more tables.
In the next complete data load, if any inconsistency found, then you delete from the other tables.
In order to avoid this in future, make the status to red in request monitor before deleting from the DSO Manage.
Regards,
Suman

What tables contain data for the CUP requests in 5.3?

What are all of the tables that contain the data that appears in the CUP requests? We are on version 5.3 SP13.
We are selling off one of the divisions of our company and one of the terms is that we have to provide all relevant data, including CUP requests. Since there are several hundreds of requests for this division (last count was over 600), it is not practical to just download the individual requests out of CUP. So plan B is to just give them the data.
I know there are several tables that contain this data, and I know some of them (such as VIRSA_AE_REQD_HDR and VIRSA_AE_RQD_WPHS), but I don't know all of them. (and I would rather not have go thru and to check every table)
Thanks.

Hi Bob,
I have never looked at the VT_AE tables to extract any information. Since your requirement is unique, I have a positive note that SAP would help you with it. Giving a try would worth it sometimes
Else, paste the list of tables here, so that some one can help you.
Have a great weekend!!

Raghu
