Testing of value in SQL

Hi,
Is there anything within SQL that allows me to check the value of a combination of dimensions, because it seems to me that "*when is" and "endwhen" are only used to test whether a dimension carries a certain member.
To cite an example, what would you do in SQL if you want to test whether account = "sales" is larger than account = "cost"?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Cheers

Hi Lip,
*WHEN , *IS AND *ENDWHEN in combination with GET() or LOOKUP() function can be used to compare the value of combination of dimensions.
For example, you can try the below
*LOOKUP
*DIM CompSales:Account = "SALES"
*DIM CompCost:Account="COST"
*ENDLOOKUP
*WHEN LOOKUP(COMPSALES)
*IS > LOOKUP(COMPCOST)
//REQUIRED INSTRUCTIONS
*ENDWHEN

Expected
Balance

100

Hi Frank,
Sorry i think i am not clear.
below is my function get_total.
one billing_key is nothing but one billing period-each period has 6 programkeys.
by following function i will get 6 records by passing 6 programkeys and one biling key
now i need to get over all balance of all periods per program. condition is i need to take only +ve amounts from the below function and sum it up
expected out. i am just giving an example of output.
actual
programkey get_total
a 100
a -50
a -50
b 200
c 300
c -200
d -100
d -25
d 400
e 500
e -10
f 600
f -200
we are taking only +ve amounts from the above.
How can i write a procedure or script to acheive program_key and balance as below.

Pass value from SQL agent job step

Hi
I have created one SSIS package and I am scheduling the same using SQL Agent job. Now I want to pass one value from SQL job agent and want to use that value in SSIS package and then run that package. Can someone point to the solution.
Aniruddha http://aniruddhathengadi.blogspot.com/

I have created one parameter on SSIS package named strValue and assigned a empty value "". After that I have created one SQL job and step wherein I have set the value to "Nike" for parameter under Parameters tab.
Now I am expecting Nike value which I have set on SQL job step should get reflected on SSIS package when I am running my job. Am I doing anything wrong ?

Default form value using sql with bind variable

I wish to create a form based upon a table with a foreign key. I wish to add a field to the form that is an uneditable text field with a default value using sql of 'select name from other_table where other_table_id = ?' where ? is a bind variable defined by a hidden field which is the value of the foreign key identified at runtime. How can this be done?
null

I don't think that will work. I have multiple people accessing the Portal at the same time with the same login (or lack of as public will be the most common user). I could set it easily enough as the value is passed to the form by a link object, so I could add it to the before page plsql block and set the value. But I am uncertain how it will behave in a multi-user mutlitasking environment.
Maybe I should describe what I am looking to accomplish. I want to create a display above a form that will list static details from other tables (i.e. when editing a user's phone number, which is in one table, you want the user to see the person's name, which is in another table, and the form is based upon the phone table) ...
Just as I am thinking about it, I thought of an idea. I could put some specific code in the before displaying page plsql section to query the database and use htp to output the information for data not in the table the form is based upon. I will try this and see how it works. It would have been nice to have just created a field that is not editable and had a default value, but this should work as well.
Let me know if you see any problem with this or if you have any better suggestions.
Thanks for the fast response.

Ident_Current('TableName') not giving last inserted identity Value in SQL Server 2012

Hi ,
Ident_Current('TableName') is not giving last inserted identity Value in SQL Server 2012.
Latest Value of ID and Ident_Current is differing for that particular table.
Why its happening? Ident_Current value is greater than last inserted ID.
Please guide me why its happening?

Here is one example:
CREATE DATABASE PMCtest ON (NAME = 'PMCtest', FILENAME = 'B:\ProdDB-Unzipped\PMCtest.mdf', SIZE = 25GB )
LOG ON (NAME = 'PMCtest_log', FILENAME = 'B:\ProdDB-Unzipped\PMCtest.ldf', SIZE = 2GB)
CREATE TABLE identity_crisis (a int IDENTITY NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
b sysname NOT NULL CHECK (b <> 'sysschobjs'))
go
INSERT identity_crisis (b) VALUES ('First name')
INSERT identity_crisis SELECT name FROM sys.objects
go
SELECT MAX(a), ident_current('identity_crisis')
FROM identity_crisis
go
DROP TABLE identity_crisis
Because the second INSERT statement fails, the identity values from 2 to 12 are lost. This is a very intentional design to promote high concurrency. If you don't want gaps, you should not use IDENTITY, but roll your own.
Also, beware that ident_current returns database-wide value, so if you insert one row, and another process inserts another row before you interrogate ident_current, you will get the id for the row of the other process.

The WPF MediaElement (unlike Silverlight's) doesn't support setting the Source to a Stream directly. You could try any of the workarounds suggested here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7117589/using-mediaelement-to-play-video-from-stream
Othwerwise you could select the data (bytes) from the database into a byte[]:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13952261/insert-and-retrieve-bytearray-from-sql-server-in-c-sharp
...and then save the data to a temporary physical file and play this one as usual:
byte[] data = ...; //select from db
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes("temp.wav", data);
var mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.Open(new Uri("temp.wav", UriKind.Relative));
mediaPlayer.Play();
The MediaPlayer.Open method will read the file via a stream automatically.
Hope that helps.

How to test a simple PL SQL function from another PL SQL script

Hi,
I have created a function. Now i need to test that whether it is returning the correct values or not.

Don't look at the function, it might have errors but my primary concern is how to test this function. Once I start doing its testing then only i can understand any bugs(if any).
My pl sql is not so good. Im still learning. I don't understand IN and OUT parameters are.
I just know that IN parameters r those whick we pass in to the function wen we call it and OUT parameters are those through which we get the result.
Thanks in advance

SQL Developer Unit Testing - Validation with PL/SQL

Hi,
I am trying to create Unit tests using SQL Developer UT framework.
But when i am creating validation using User PL/SQL code option.
Then how can i check value returned by l_count in code snippet below:
-- Please raise an exception if the validation fails.
-- For example:
DECLARE
l_count NUMBER;
wrong_count EXCEPTION;
BEGIN
SELECT count(*) into l_count
FROM test_recon
WHERE
match_num = 99836936
AND Stg_status_flag <> 'E';
IF l_count = 0
THEN
RAISE wrong_count;
END IF;
END;
Also, can someone please refer me to few more demo examples (apart from oracle docs) to implement good test cases with SQL developer.
I appreciate your help.
Regards
Dipali

Probably not the answer you're looking for, but back when I was playing around with the Unit Test stuff, I didn't have sys privs, and the DBAs were a little busy at the time to set a up a repository for me. Rather than wait, I installed Oracle XE on my machine and created a small dev schema and deployed unit test to that. It's so much easier to perform quick proof of concepts when you have full control.

Hardcode value in sql statement

Hi,
This may be a simple thing which I'm missing.
I'm trying to hardcode numeric value in my SQL statement
'1.0000' AS NUMBER (10,4) - It returns value as 1 instead of 1.0000
'1.1255' AS NUMBER(10,4) - returns 1.1255
I need my o/p to be as 1.0000 not as 1.Is there anyway I can get the result as I'm looking for
Thanks in advance

It's hard to tell what you really want to do from such a tiny code fragment.
Whenever you have a question, post a complete test script that people can run to re-create the problem and test their ideas.
The value 1 is exactly the same as the value 1.0000; there is no difference between those numbers.
If you want to display a number in a certain format (e.g. '1.0000' instead of '1'), the front end is probably the best place to do that.
If you're using SQL*Plus as the front end, you can set the display for the column called increase_pct like this:
COLUMN increase_pct FORMAT 990.0000
This will make it display the numbers in that column with at least 1 digit to the left of the decimal point, and exactly 4 digits to the right of the decimal point.
Other front end tools have similar features.
If you need to do the equivalent in SQL, use the TO_CHAR function, like this
SELECT ename
, TO_CHAR (sal, '99999.00') AS salary
FROM scott.emp
If you really are hard-coding literals, you can hard code a string, such as '1.0000'. Don't CAST it to a NUMBER..

Spaces value in sql loader

Is there a way to load in spaces using Sql*Loader given that the table it is loading to has a not null column but has a default value. My data file has spaces for a number field instead of zeros. Since my table column is declared as not null, it's failing even if I have a default value of '0' in my column.

You can tackle this in the control file. Here is a snippet from Oracle OnLine books - hopefully this will help out! Cheers.
==========================================
Setting a Column to Null or Zero
If you want all inserted values for a given column to be null, omit the column's specifications entirely. To set a column's values
conditionally to null based on a test of some condition in the logical record, use the NULLIF clause; see NULLIF Keyword. To set a
numeric column to zero instead of NULL, use the DEFAULTIF clause, described next.
DEFAULTIF Clause
Using DEFAULTIF on numeric data sets the column to zero when the specified field condition is true. Using DEFAULTIF on
character (CHAR or DATE) data sets the column to null (compare with Numeric External Datatypes). See also Specifying Field
Conditions for details on the conditional tests.
DEFAULTIF field_condition
A column may have both a NULLIF clause and a DEFAULTIF clause, although this often would be redundant.
Note: The same effects can be achieved with the SQL string and the DECODE function. See Applying SQL Operators to
Fields
NULLIF Keyword
Use the NULLIF keyword after the datatype and optional delimiter specification, followed by a condition. The condition has the same
format as that specified for a WHEN clause. The column's value is set to null if the condition is true. Otherwise, the value remains
unchanged.
NULLIF field_condition
The NULLIF clause may refer to the column that contains it, as in the following example:
COLUMN1 POSITION(11:17) CHAR NULLIF (COLUMN1 = "unknown")
This specification may be useful if you want certain data values to be replaced by nulls. The value for a column is first determined from
the datafile. It is then set to null just before the insert takes place. Case 6: Loading Using the Direct Path Load Method provides
examples of the NULLIF clause.
Note: The same effect can be achieved with the SQL string and the NVL function. See Applying SQL Operators to Fields.
Null Columns at the End of a Record
When the control file specifies more fields for a record than are present in the record, SQL*Loader must determine whether the
remaining (specified) columns should be considered null or whether an error should be generated. The TRAILING NULLCOLS
clause, described in TRAILING NULLCOLS, explains how SQL*Loader proceeds in this case.
==========================================

Not sure how to test output of PL/SQL function

Unit Test exports between different SQL Developer versions

Hi,
I am having problems with trying to export and import unit test suites between SQL Developer versions. I can't find any documentation in this area. We have a number of unit test suites exported as XML files from version 2.1.1.64, and below are combinations of things I have tried:
- I have tried to import a unit test suite into version 3.0.0.4 that was exported from version 2.1.1.64 and get the error "Import failed. unexpected null value". I expect that this is probably an unsupported action due to repository changes between the two versions - should I be able to do this?
- I have upgraded the repository with unit tests in it. The unit tests run perfectly well in the upgraded repository. However, if I try to export any suites or individual tests, I get an error "Export failed.". A XML file is created but with what looks like only the header part of it.
- I have created a new unit test suite in version 3.0.0.4 and this exports successfully.
- I have gone into each test of a suite in the upgraded repository and made a change so that I can perform a commit. When I do an export, this does then work successfully.
Therefore it appears that something is not carried out by default when the repository is upgraded, but this fixes itself if the test is amended and committed in the upgraded repository. Although this may be a workaround, we have 100's of tests and is not something I really want to do. Has anyone else experienced this and got any recommendations for this?
Thanks, Pierre.

Hi,
I am having problems with trying to export and import unit test suites between SQL Developer versions. I can't find any documentation in this area. We have a number of unit test suites exported as XML files from version 2.1.1.64, and below are combinations of things I have tried:
- I have tried to import a unit test suite into version 3.0.0.4 that was exported from version 2.1.1.64 and get the error "Import failed. unexpected null value". I expect that this is probably an unsupported action due to repository changes between the two versions - should I be able to do this?
- I have upgraded the repository with unit tests in it. The unit tests run perfectly well in the upgraded repository. However, if I try to export any suites or individual tests, I get an error "Export failed.". A XML file is created but with what looks like only the header part of it.
- I have created a new unit test suite in version 3.0.0.4 and this exports successfully.
- I have gone into each test of a suite in the upgraded repository and made a change so that I can perform a commit. When I do an export, this does then work successfully.
Therefore it appears that something is not carried out by default when the repository is upgraded, but this fixes itself if the test is amended and committed in the upgraded repository. Although this may be a workaround, we have 100's of tests and is not something I really want to do. Has anyone else experienced this and got any recommendations for this?

How to select a case sensitive value in SQL with C#

Hello,
I have an application that at the begining a user will login with a user name and password which is stored in the database. The SQL statement is as follows:
"SELECT id_employee FROM employee WHERE employee_number='" + txtUserName.Text + "' AND passWord='" + txtPassword.Text + "'";
For testing purposes I have set the password to the word test. The problem is, if the user enters in TEST or TeSt or TESt it will grant them access. How do I set it to force the correct case?
I am using SQL 2005 for the database.
Thanks!

You can also set Collation while comparing strings:
"SELECT id_employee FROM employee WHERE employee_number='" + txtUserName.Text + "' COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS AND passWord='" + txtPassword.Text + "' COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS";
All comments about not doing this type of quering using command string, instead of command with parameters, they are apsolutely right.
Nevertheless i will have only username as a parameter in the command and password will be return value from procedure. I will check for equality of entered password and returned one from command in C# code, and C# is case sensitive. There is a good security model implemented for password in AdventureWorks sample database for SQL Server 2005, in table Person.Contact.
That model use two fields for password, PasswordHash and PasswordSalt. PasswordSalt is randomly generated hash when password is modified and with that salt, password string is encrypted, which produce PasswordHash. So when you want to authenticate a user, execute a command that will return a row(PasswordHash and PasswordSalt) for entered username, and in application you will encrypt entered username with PasswordSalt. If generated string is equal with the one returned PasswordHash, then you have a valid login. If nothing is returned from command or they are not equal, you have invalid login.
