Tricky SQL helpDates between dates

hi,
I need to return all months that fall between a date range. So for example,
Date range = 01-JAN-1999 to 01-JUN-1999
Should return JAN,FEB,MAR,APR,MAY,JUN
Any ideas on this one folks ?
Yhanks.

You can use BETWEEN
where col_date between to_date('01-JAN-1999','DD-MON-YYYY') and to_date('30-JUN-1999','DD-MON-YYYY')

  • SQL Search Between Dates

    I have a table which contains a list of enquiries that I
    receive. I have an 'Input_Date' field as a column. I have set up a
    page on my site on which to input two dates to search between for
    enquiries. One input field is called Start and the other End.
    What is the SQL I would need in order to display the results
    on a page which I go to after hitting 'submit'? Also, how would I
    define the variables, 'Request.Form' or 'Request.QueryString'?
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    If your 'Input_Date' DataType is datetime or Int you can use
    a BETWEEN
    clause.
    eg. WHERE Input_Date BETWEEN Start AND End
    As for whether to use Request.Form or Request.Querystring,
    this depends on
    whether you are using POST or GET on submission of the Form.
    Do a Google on 'SQL BETWEEN' and you will find loads of good
    articles. It's
    very easy and straightforward to use.

  • SQL to select data between a date range

    Hello,
    I am a new user to HTMLDB and I have an application where I need to select the rows from a table that are between a specified date range. The table description is
    name varchar2
    class varchar2
    sal number
    hdate date
    I want to select the rows of all names between date value 1 and date value 2. The SQL query I use in SQLPLUS does not work in HTML DB. The query I used is
    select null link, name from tab_data where hdate between TO_DATE('06-JAN-04','DD-MON-YY') and TO_DATE('08-JAN-04','DD-MON-YY')
    I also have 2 date picker fields in my form and I used a similar query which did not work.
    select null link, name from tab_data where hdate between TO_DATE(:P2_DATE1,'DD-MON-YY') and TO_DATE(:P2_DATE2,'DD-MON-YY').
    Can someone help me out?
    Thanks

    To All,
    This is getting frustrating... I have tried every combination and permutation I can think of with zero success. The table column I am querying is of type date. The nls_date_format is 'DD-MON-YY' on a 10g database on Linux ES. I am using datepicker 'DD-MON-YY'. I have converted it using TO_DATE, TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(, trunc etc. Is it just my installation? I have upgraded to the latest patch, so that can't be the problem. I created various test scenarios (virgin tables, one row, etc). I've been writing PL/SQL for fourteen years and I think I'm pretty good, but I've sure run up against a stone wall here. Surely somebody has done a date compare out there...
    select to_char(to_date('06-JAN-04','DD-MON-YY'),'MM/DD/YYYY') from dual;
    06-JAN-2004
    select to_char(YOUR_DATE_COLUMN,'MM/DD/YYYY') from YOUR_TABLE_WITH_DATE_COLUMN;

  • Need help to join two tables using three joins, one of which is a (between) date range.

    I am trying to develop a query in MS Access 2010 to join two tables using three joins, one of which is a (between) date range. The tables are contained in Access. The reason
    the tables are contained in access because they are imported from different ODBC warehouses and the data is formatted for uniformity. I believe this cannot be developed using MS Visual Query Designer. I think writing a query in SQL would be suiting this project.
    ABCPART links to XYZPART. ABCSERIAL links to XYZSERIAL. ABCDATE links to (between) XYZDATE1 and ZYZDATE2.

    Thank you for the looking at the post. The actual table names are rather ambiguous. I renamed them so it would make more sense. I will explain more and give the actual names. What I do not have is the actual data in the table. That is something I don't have
    on this computer. There are no "Null" fields in either of the tables. 
    This table has many orders (MSORDER) that need to match one order (GLORDER) in GLORDR. This is based on MSPART joined to GLPART, MSSERIAL joined to GLSERIAL, and MSOPNDATE joined if it falls between GLSTARTDATE and GLENDDATE.

  • Getting SQL*Net more data from client waits when running a query through web based interface

    Hi, you all,
    We are having this weird behavior when running query through web based interface, we get a lot of "SQL*Net more data from client" waits, the OEM indicates that the current wait event is SQL*Net more data from client
    It's just a very simple query wich invokes a db link.
    When I execute the same query on any PL/SQL tool like toad or sql developer it works fine, but that query inside an application executed through a web based interface, it hangs for ever.
    Where can I start looking for the problem.
    We are working on a 3 Node RAC 11gr2, both databases are on the same RAC.
    Thanks.

    Hi ,
    we managed to reproduce the case in test environment, below are the steps:
    1)have 2 databases on different machines, will call the first one local, the other one remote.
    2)in the local database create:
    a - DBLink to remote database.
    b - read data from remote database(we simply used select count(*) from dummy_table )
    c - insert data into a table on the local database
    d - terminate the connection between the 2 databases (disconnect either machine from the network)
    e - commit on local database.
    what we noticed was the following:
    1)when the local database is disconnected from the network(the machine is not connected to any network at the moment): almost immediately throws an error, and issuing the following:
    select * from dba_2pc_pending;we found some data .
    2) when the remote database was disconnected(the local database is still connected to the network):
    after 7-8 seconds an error is thrown, and issuing the following:
    select * from dba_2pc_pending;did not return any data.
    since this is pretty similar to our case ,we concluded that it's a network issue.
    is this the correct behavior ?
    as a temporary solution till the network issue is fixed ,we did the following:
    1) changed the call of the remote procedure to calling a local procedure that calls the remote procedure.
    2) added pragma autonomous_transaction to the local procedure.
    3) at the end of the local procedure rollback the autonomous transaction.
    it seems that since the global transaction does not use the DBLink database does not issue a 2PC commit.
    this works in my cases since the DBLink is only issed to read data.

  • Extract data from a BW 7.0 cube to a SQL DB using Data Services XI

    Hi Gurus,
    We are trying to extract data from a BW 7.0 cube to a SQL DB using Data Services XI, the issue is that we can not read text without making "joins" between SID in the fact table and the master data tables. Do you know if it is posible to read text in a natural way?
    Best Regards

    Thanks Wondewossen,
    As you know, the DataStores (Data Services) provide access to:
    1.-Tables
    2.-Functions
    3.-IDOCs
    4.-Open Hub Tables
    We are trying to extract data using the first one (Tables), not using Open Hub.

  • Session Facade and Access to a Non SQL Based Persistent Data Store

    Hi,
    We are currently using jDeveloper 10.1.3.5 and Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.5. We develop all our applications as Java portlets using Oracle PDK and they are exposed through Oracle Portal.
    In our environment, the persistent data is stored on a combination of an Oracle database and a non SQL based persistent data store.
    The way we access the non SQL persistent data store is by posting a URL and receiving an XML document back in response. This mechanism is used both for enquiry and update of the persistent store.
    We have to create a new XML schema for each entity that we need to access and there are software changes on both our environment (Java) and the non SQL based persistent data store.
    In an attempt to shorten development times we are looking to start using ADF faces and EJB3.
    We have downloaded the SRDemo tutorial and made it work but there are some challenges.
    1. The SRDemo seem to have a very minimal implementation of a business layer. From what I can see, it is essentially some straightforward wiring between database attributes and their viewable representation. Is there a demo/tutorial containing a bit more meat in the business layer that you are aware of?
    2. Given our non SQL based persistent data store, how would you go about implementing EJB3 for such scenario. Is it recommended at all? How would you go about integrating the rest of the application (business layer and representation layer) to data arriving from such source?
    3. SRDemo is not intended to be exposed as a portlet. Is there a tutorial that we can use incorporating JSR168, ADF Faces and EJB3 in the same application? I also understand that there is a JSF-JSR168 bridge available. Can you provide some pointers here? Where can we find it? Would we be able to use it in jDeveloper 10.1.3.5?
    Regards

    Matt,
    The only way to associate an "x-axis" with a signal in the Write Data VI would be to feed it waveforms, which are constrained to use time as the x-axis unit. There is really no way around this, so in my opinion, the best solution for you would be to use the "rows are channels" conversion and write the frequency and amplitude values to the file independently. Then when you read the file in DIAdem, take the two channels and build a graph out of them there.

  • Find difference between date

    I need to know how i can find difference between date

    I need it in Oracle forms 6i. plz help me...

    Hi,
    In oracle forms you can use
    RESULT :=
    TRUNC ((:date2 - :date1 + 1) / 365)
    || ' year and '
    || MOD (:date2 - :date1 + 1, 365)
    || ' days';
    in sql you can use
    SELECT TRUNC ((:date2 - :date1 + 1) / 365)
    || ' year and '
    || MOD (:date2 - :date1 + 1, 365)
    || ' days'

    whereClause.append(toDate);
    Thanx

    Venkat, u can either use toDate() function in ur sql or use java.sql.Date to convert ur string into date.
    Secondly parameters should be passed through whereclauseparams,like
    java.sql.Date javaSqlDate =
    transaction.getOANLSServices().stringToDate(submitedDateString);
    whereClause.append("DATE_COLUMN_NAME = :1");
    setWhereClauseParams(0,javaSqlDate);

  • Difference between "Data replication", "Data Cloning", "Data duplication" and "Data Migration"

    Hi Gurus,
    Can anyone tell me the difference between "Data replication", "Data Cloning", "Data duplication" and "Data Migration". I have gone through Google but doesn't find any appropriate answer for that where I can find the difference.
    It would be highly appreciated if you give me a link for all and give me some point out.
    Thanks & Regards

    Here is how I see the terms used and understood by most folks
    "Data replication"
    This is the keeping the same data in sync in 2 different databases.  Replication is the process of keeping data in sync between 2 environments/databases and not limited to Oracle to Oracle, it could be Oracle to MySQL to be kept in sync, MySQL to Oracle, Oracle to SQL Server, SQL Server to Oracle.  The purpose of keeping data in sync can vary, but that is basic description of what it is.
    "Data Cloning"
    Make a copy of the data/database from one database environment to another, like for example taking production database and cloning the database to a pre-production database/environment for testing.  Coning term is used more when copying a database not just data, but the whole database so typically you hear the reference "Database Cloning", but data cloning is basically the making a copy of the data from one place to another.  Sometimes Cloning and Duplicating are used in the same way by folks as the basic end result is the same you are making a copy of the data to someplace else.
    "Data duplication"
    This is typically term when duplicating the data from one environment to another for a particular purpose, a lot of folks use "Data/Database Cloning" and "Data Duplication" in the same context, meaning they use them to mean the same thing, but I see more difference in the terms so when they are different Data Duplication is done when combining 2 databases to 1 therefore you can not clone the 2 databases into one so this term would be used more in those circumstances.
    "Data Migration"
    Moving data from one location/database to another location database, for example moving from MySQL to Oracle you would do a data migration from MySQL to Oracle as you are moving the data from MySQL to Oracle and going to leave it in Oracle.  You could also be migrating to from Oracle 10g environment to a new Oracle 11g environment, therefore "Migration" is typically used when referring to moving the data from one environment to another and the source and target are different in location, database vendor, database version.
    These are very simple ways of looking at the terms from my experience on how they are used.

  • Difference Between Data type and message type

    Hi,
        i have doubt on data type and message type.why we are mapping the message type why not data type?wht is the difference between data type and message type?

    Hi Narayanana,
    Data type defines the structure of your xml message.Message type is the wrapper of data type.You will be using your message type while mapping and not the data type.Its the abstraction concept used in oops

    Hi Suresh,
    Data Type defines the structure of the message and it will be wrapped under Message Type.
    Hope the details below will clearify your doubts.
    A data type in a programming language is a set of data with values having predefined characteristics. Examples of data types are: integer, floating point unit number, character, string, and pointer.
    The characteristic of columns and variables that defines what types of data values they can store.
    Check out the details:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_type
    A message type comprises a data type that describes the structure of a message. At the following points in SAP Exchange Infrastructure you can refer to the message to be exchanged at runtime by using the message type:

  • What is the difference  between  data file  & control file

    what is the difference  between  data file  & control file

    Dear Deba s
    Control file
    Every Oracle Database has a control file, which is a small binary file that records the physical structure of the database. The control file includes:
    The database name
    Names and locations of associated datafiles and redo log files
    The timestamp of the database creation
    The current log sequence number
    Checkpoint information
    For more info look into these
    [Control File Basic|http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/control.htm#i1006143]
    Data File
    You manage Data File in your Oracle database as part of Space Management. You can extend, create, drop, and alter tablespaces.
    You especially need to avoid tablespace overflow, which is when a tablespace runs out of freespace in the allocated file or files. This happens when an object requires a new extent but there is either no freespace or insufficient freespace in the tablespace
    For more info look into these links
    [Data files |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/98/5dd5890f32274aa884e45e736752a2/frameset.htm]

  • Can you use SQL as a data source for a project in the same way you can in Excel?

    Excel allows you to create a data source that executes a SQL stored procedure, display that data as a table in a spreadsheet and have that data automatically refresh each time you open the spreadsheet. Is it possible to do the same thing in MS Project, displaying
    the data from the stored procedure as a series of tasks?
    Here's what I'm trying to do - I have a stored procedure that pulls task data meeting a specific criteria from all projects in Project Server. We're currently displaying this data as an Excel report. However, the data includes start dates and durations so
    it would be nice to be able to display it as a Gantt Chart. I've played around with creating a Gantt chart in Excel and have been able to do a very basic one, but it doesn’t quite fit our needs.

    No, You can not use sql as a data source for a project.
    You have 3 options to achieve it:
    1. You can create a Sharepoint list with desired column ,fill desired data in that list then you can create a MS project from Sharepoint List.
    2. You can create a SSRS report in which you can display grantt chart Joe has given you that link.
    3. You can write a macro in MPP which will take data from your excel. In excel you will fetch data from your stored procedure. write a schedule which will run every day to update your data or
    create an excel report in which will update automatically and write macro in mpp which will fetch the data then publish it so that it would be available to team members.

  • Dynamic sql reurns no data when multiple values are passed.

    (Dynamic sql returns no data when multiple values are passed.)
    Hi,
    While executing the below dynamic sql in the procedure no data is returned when it has multiple input values.
    When the input is EMPID := '1'; the procedure works fine and returns data.Any suggestion why the procedure doen't works when input as EMPID := '1'',''2'; is passed as parameter?

    Any suggestion why the procedure doen't works when input EMPID := '1'',''2';?
    Thank you,

    The whole scenario is a little strange. When I tried to compile your procedure it couldn't compile, but I added the missing info and was able to get it compiled.
    create or replace PROCEDURE TEST (EMPID IN VARCHAR2, rc OUT sys_refcursor)
    IS
      stmt        VARCHAR2 (9272);
      V_EMPID     VARCHAR2 (100);
    BEGIN
      V_EMPID := EMPID;
      stmt := 'select * from TEST123 where Empid is NOT NULL';
      IF V_EMPID = '-1' THEN
        stmt := stmt || ' and Empid in (:1)';
      ELSE
        stmt := stmt || ' and -1 = :1';
      END IF;
      OPEN rc FOR stmt USING V_EMPID;
    END;If you pass in 1 as a parameter, it is going to execute because the statement that it is building is:
    select * from TEST123 where Empid is NOT NULL and -1 = 1Although the syntax is valid -1 will never equal 1 so you will never get any data.
    If you pass in 1,2 as a parameter then it is basically building the following:
    select * from TEST123 where Empid is NOT NULL and -1 = 1,2This will cause an invalid number because it is trying to check where -1 = 1,2
    You could always change your code to:
    PROCEDURE TEST (EMPID IN VARCHAR2, rc OUT sys_refcursor)
    IS
      stmt        VARCHAR2 (9272);
      V_EMPID     VARCHAR2 (100);
    BEGIN
      V_EMPID := EMPID;
      stmt := 'select * from TEST123 where Empid is NOT NULL';
      stmt := stmt || ' and Empid in (:1)';
      OPEN rc FOR stmt USING V_EMPID;
    END;and forget the if v_empid = '-1' check. If you pass in a 1 it will work, if you pass in 1,2 is will work, but don't pass them in with any tick marks.
