The wildcard % character is not working

It's been about 4 or 5 years since I have used Oracle so please be patient with my questions (out of the field but now I'm back). For instance, when I select emp% using the % character it Oracle is treating it as a regular character and returning no rows. Do I have to update a table to identify the wildcard character? I seem to have forgotten how to do this

Do you use LIKE operator or just simply equivalence (=)?
E.g. should be something like
SELECT *
FROM blahh
WHERE blahhhh LIKE 'emp%'Also remember that Oracle data are CASE SENSITIVE i.e. 'EMP' is not the same as 'emp'.

  • The Port : 6001 is not working in the system

    Hi Experts,
    OS   :  AIX 6.1
    SAP :  SAP Netweaver EHP1
    In the OS level the Port : 6001 is not working and giving the out put as...
    pb2adm> telnet abcprdpb2 6001
    Trying...
    telnet: connect: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.
    Virtual host : abcprdpb2
    As it is the BI java stack system & I configured the SMD & wily in the system. From the BI java stack system the wily agent is not working and it uses the port : 6001.
    Now the issue is regarding to the port : 6001
    when telnet in the same system which is Virtual host : abcprdpb2 is not working and which I have given the output above. It is working when I telnet to the other systems. Please see the output  below...
    pb2adm>  telnet abcprd001 6001
    Trying...
    Connected to abcprd001.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    Connection closed.
    From other system  virtual host : abcprd001
    As I have checked with the firewall team and said it is fine in the system and same us AIX team also. But still port : 6001 issue is not resolved in the Virtual host : abcprdpb2
    Can you please let me know how to open the port : 6001 in the Virtual host : abcprdpb2 and also how we can confirm that port : 6001 is opened or blocked in the Virtual host : abcprdpb2.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sandeep.

    Hi,
    The both mentioned virtual systems are in different LPAR's (Physical host).
    Already I have checked the /etc/services and looks every thing is fine in the file. I have also checked the file inetd.conf  and I didn't find any thing # on the Telnet.It seems every thing is fine in the both files.
    Can you please look in to it and provide some thing which I have to look in the OS level.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sandeep

  • On certain sites (like chats), the shift symbols are not working correctly.

    On certain sites (like chats), the shift symbols are not working correctly, but shift+letters works fine. I've tried changing the set keyboard language, as well as the character encoding, but nothing works. I don't have this problem in IE.

    Hello there.
    Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
    As for your issue, I'm not sure if this is the case, but there is a little know keyboard shortcut to change the keyboard language on Windows. And it's very annoying, since it's easily triggered. I don't know exactly which one it is, but I think it's CTRL+SHIFT, the ones on the right. I suggest you ask Microsoft for support on this one. Firefox doesn't control keyboard languages.

  • I have a manual that contains headings and index entries that contain less than and greater than characters, and . The Publish to Responsive HTML5 function escapes these correctly in the main body of the text but does not work correctly in either the C

    I have a manual that contains headings and index entries that contain less than and greater than characters, < and >. The Publish to Responsive HTML5 function escapes these correctly in the main body of the text but does not work correctly in either the Contents or the Index of the generated HTML. In the Contents the words are completely missing and in the index entries the '\' characters that are required in the markers remain in the entry but the leading less than symbol and the first character of the word is deleted; hence what should appear as <dataseries> appears as \ataseries\>. I believe this is a FMv12 bug. Has anyone else experienced this? Is the FM team aware and working on a fix. Any suggestions for a workaround?

    The Index issue is more complicated since in order to get the < and > into the index requires the entry itself to be escaped. So, in order to index '<x2settings>' you have to key '\<x2settings\>'. Looking at the generated index entry in the .js file we see '<key name=\"\\2settings\\&gt;\">. This is a bit of a mess and produces an index entry of '\2settings\>'. This ought to be '<key name=\"&amp;lt;x2settings&amp;gt;\" >'. I have tested this fix and it works - but the worst of it is that the first character of the index entry has been stripped out. Consequently I cannot fix this with a few global changes - and I have a lot of index entries of this type. I'm looking forward to a response to this since I cannot publish this document in its current state.  

  • Special character key not working

    None of the special character key is working properly. More over character which are to be used by SHIFT key are also not working correctly.

    I am using OS X 10.9.3 and Pages v5.2 and a double-click with the Magic Mouse, or a double-tap with the Magic Trackpad will definitely insert the special character of choice at the previous cursor location in Pages v5.2, or within TextEdit. You must first establish application document focus (click in it) before the double-click/tap action.
    I can double-click/tap special characters and have them insert into form text and text area fields on a web page in Safari.

    I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips.

    My IPad cannot download live Tv from skygo. I have no problem with my lap top so I assume the broad band is okay. Can anybody suggest why the live streaming will not work on my iPad .

    Are you using the Sky Go app to try and watch it ? If so are you logged in with your Sky account ?
    If you are using the app then you could try closing the app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Sky Go 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Sky Go app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Since I installed Lion on my macbook the LED light does not pulse when I close the screen - the sleep function does not work.

    Since I installed Lion on my macbook the LED light does not pulse when I close the screen - the sleep function does not work neither when chosen after pressing the button nor chosen in the apple menu..

  • I have iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

    Hi, I have the  iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

    Hello Glittergirl68,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the function to reseize the Font in an iBook is not functioning properly.
    I recommend a few things here. First close all the apps that are running in the background:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    From: iOS: Force an app to close
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that, restart the phone, and try again.
    If the issue persists, I would follow these steps from the article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
    2. Check for app updates
    You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
    Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
    If  prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
    Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
    4. Restart the app
    If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
    5. Restart your device
    Turn the device off and on.
    6. Reinstall the affected app
    Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
    Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
    Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
    Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store.
    Search for the app and then download it again.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch.  How do I get it to begin working?  It just stopped today.

    The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch.  How do I get it to begin working?  It just stopped today.
    Does anyone know what I can do?  I am unable to switch screens, and I can not see the track that is playing.  The only was I can switch between songs is to use the controls on my headphones.

    Try the stamdard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, I honestly think this is out raging because i spend over $200 on this. To have for music and instagram. I use it about an hour a day, but i've only been using it for about 3 months although i've had it since December. Any suggestions that may help me?

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
