Update with a Single Quote value

how do i update a field containing a sigle quote in a record ?
e.g :
i have a table s_order_item_xa
filed: attr_name
old value: Noofndk
new value: Noofn's
how can i update above field value? i am using row_id in where condition to identify rows which i want to update.

Hi,
Is the question "How can I include a single-quote character in a string literal?", then the answer is to use 2 of them, like this:
UPDATE books
SET     dewey_num = '291''.4'
WHERE   dewey_num = '291.4'
;In Oracle 10 (and up) you can also use Q-notation. For example:
UPDATE books
SET     dewey_num = Q'[291'.4]'
WHERE   dewey_num = '291.4'

SQL Injection, replace single quote with two single quotes?

Is replacing a single quote with two single quotes adequate
for eliminating
SQL injection attacks? This article (
http://www.devguru.com/features/kb/kb100206.asp
) offers that advice, and it
enabled me to allow users to search name fields in the
database that contain
single quotes.
I was advised to use "Paramaterized SQL" in an earlier post,
but I can't
understand the concept behind that method, and whether it
applies to
queries, writes, or both.

Then you can use both stored procedures and prepared
statements.
Both provide better protection than simply replacing
apostrophes.
Prepared statements are simple:
Set myCommand = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
...snip...
myCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Users([Name], [Email])
VALUES (?, ?)"
...snip...
myCommand.Parameters.Append
myCommand.CreateParameter("@Name",200,1,50,Name)
myCommand.Parameters.Append
myCommand.CreateParameter("@Email",200,1,50,Email)
myCommand.Execute ,,128 'the ,,128 sets execution flags that
tell ADO not to
look for rows to be returned. This saves the expense of
creating a
recordset object you don't need.
Stored procedures are executed in a similar manner. DW can
help you with a
stored procedure through the "Command (Stored Procedure)"
server behavior.
You can see a full example of a prepared statement by looking
at DW's
recordset code after you've created a recordset using version
8.02.

How to pass presentation variable with enclosing single quotes

HI All,
As all of you know in 11g, Presentation variable can hold more than one value.So we can pass multiple values to the report through presentation variable.
If we select x,y,z values from prompt drop down,then those values will be stored like x,y,z in the presentation variable.
but I would like to store these values with enclosing single quotes like 'x,y,z'
The reason is I need to pass this variable value as input to BI Publisher sql dataset query where clause.
Please share your Ideas.
Thanks,
Aravind

How to replace double quotes with a single quote in a string ?

Hi All:
Can some one tell me how to replace double Quote (") in a string with a single quote (') ? I tried to use REPLACE function, but I couldn;t get it worked.
My example is SELECT REPLACE('STN. "A"', '"', ''') FROM Dual --This one throws an error
Thanks,
Dima.

Whether it is maybe not the more comfortable way, I like the quoting capabitlity from 10g :
SQL> SELECT REPLACE('STN. "A"', '"', q'(')') FROM Dual;
REPLACE(
STN. 'A'{code}

String with embedded single quote

Hi, all. We're trying to pass a string from one procedure to another, which will then do an EXECUTE IMMEDIATE on it. However, there are single quotes withing the string, and they're driving us nuts! This is what the concatenated string should look like when passed to the pw_execDDL procedure:
insert into appimmunization.wsrprfs (inoc_id, proof, is_valid,proof_num) values ('MEAG', to_date('02-OCT-05','DD-MMM-YY'), 'Y',1);
Here's the concatenation process that doesn't work, and there are functions being called within the string:
chr_sql := 'insert into appimmunization.wsrprfs (inoc_id, proof, is_valid,proof_num) values (' || '''' || prm_inoc_id || '''' || ', ' || 'to_date(' || '''' || prm_proof1 || ''''||','||'''' ||'DD-MMM-YY'||''''||')' || ', ' || '''' || fw_is_proof_valid(prm_birth_date, prm_proof1) || '''' || ',1);';
pw_execDDL(chr_sql); /* call the procedure to do the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE */
Help! We've tried every combination -- using two single quotes together, three, and four, and still no luck. Thanks.

insert into appimmunization.wsrprfs (inoc_id, proof,
is_valid,proof_num) values ('MEAG',
to_date('02-OCT-05','DD-MMM-YY'), 'Y',1);
This statement can be made in a string with the following affectation:
chr_sql := 'insert into appimmunization.wsrprfs (inoc_id, proof, is_valid,proof_num) values (''MEAG'', to_date(''02-OCT-05'',''DD-MMM-YY''), ''Y'',1)';
Note please that each single quote in your original string must be specified using two single quotes and that is all. It is more readable and more easy to do it this way.

Query with Apostrophe (single quote)

Hi all,
I have noticed that when you enter a search string with an apostrophe (eg. Tito's Station) in a textbox on a form linked to a table and hit the Query button, it generates an sql error. I think this is cos u cannot have an apostrophe (single quote) in the search string in a "where" clause.
I am using Portal version 3.0.6.6.5 on an 8.1.7 database.
I have logged a tar (1744105.999) for this but it is said to be a bug (1759202). I wish to enquire whether any of you have had this problem with a later version or at which version leve this bug has been fixed.
Does any1 know how to limit the text typed into a texbox, so that it wont accept certain characters (eg. the apostrophe key) ??
Thanks

Hi Rene'
Thanks for your help! This will definitely help me alot! I am a little baffled with your code for delimiting the single quote. I tried it and it doesnt work.
Thanks very much for the response

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Rene' Castle ([email protected]):
This is still an issue in 3.0.8.9.8. You can use a Javascript validation routine to disallow special characters.
If you want to check to see that they only enter certain things you can do:
var s = theElement.value;
var filter=/^[a-zA-Z]{1,}$/;
if (s.length == 0 ) return true;
if (filter.test(s))
return true;
else
alert(" Please input a valid character" );
theElement.focus();
theElement.select();
return false;
The above code would only allow one or more alphabetic characters. You could make it [a-zA-Z0-9] to allow alphanumeric characters. You could also allow anything but specific characters by doing the following:
var s = theElement.value;
var filter=/[^']*/;
if (s.length == 0 ) return true;
if (filter.test(s))
alert(" Please input a string without a single quote (') in it" );
theElement.focus();
theElement.select();
return false;
else
return true;
Hope this gets you started.

Contract Release Value is not updated with Confirmation or Invoice value

The release value for a contract in SRM EBP shows the value of purchase orders created using that contract. It does not take into account confirmation and/or invoice values.
For example I create a PO for 10 items at £100/each using Contract ABC. The total value of the PO is £1000 and the release value contract ABC would be £1000. If I then only confirm and invoice 5 items (£500) for the PO, the release value of contract ABC stays at £1000 even though I would expect it to update to £500
Therefore the release value of the contract could be incorrectly overstated if purchase orders are created against the contract but not actually invoiced/confirmed for their total value.
Please could you confirm the correct functionality and how I could find out the the true invoice value of purchases made using a contract?

Hi
Which SRM and R/3 versions are you using ?
Meanwhile, please go through the following SAP OSS Notes, which will help in this case ->

REGEXP_LIKE help with literal single-quote

I'm trying to write a check constraint to validate email addresses that may include an apostrophe in the email address. Such as joe.o'[email protected] Here is my sample setup:
create table emails
( email_address varchar2(150)
insert into emails values('[email protected]') ;
insert into emails values('[email protected]') ;
insert into emails values('joey.o''[email protected]') ;
commit;
sql> select * from emails;
EMAIL_ADDRESS
[email protected]
[email protected]
joey.o'[email protected]
alter table emails add constraint email_address_format_ck
CHECK ( REGEXP_LIKE ( email_address, '^[a-z0-9._%-]\'?+@[a-z0-9._%-]+\.mil$','c'));
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-00911: invalid characterIt doesn't like *\'?*
My understanding is this means one or more single-quotes. Anyone know the correct syntax to accept apostrophes?

Hi,
jimmyb wrote:
... insert into emails values('joey.o''[email protected]') ;
That's the correct way (actually, that's one correct way) to include a single-quote in a string literal: use 2 single-quotes in a row.
... alter table emails add constraint email_address_format_ck
CHECK ( REGEXP_LIKE ( email_address, '^[a-z0-9._%-]\'?+@[a-z0-9._%-]+\.mil$','c'));Here, the 2nd argument to REGEXP_LIKE is a string literal, just like 'joey.o''[email protected]' was a string literal.
To include a single-quote in the middle of this string literal, do the same thing you did before: use 2 of them in a row:
CHECK ( REGEXP_LIKE ( email_address, '^[a-z0-9._%''-]+@[a-z0-9._%-]+\.mil$','c'));There were a couple of other problems, too.
I'm sure you meant for the apostrophe to be inside the square brackets. Inside square brackets, \ does not function as an escape character. (Actually, single-quote has no special meaning in regular expressions, so there's no need to escape it anyway.)
I'm not sure what the '?' mark was doing; I left it out.
Of course, you'll have trouble adding the CHECK constraint if any existing rows violate it.

Hi Friends,
I am new to the Excise duty , facing a proble in CIN -While doing MIGO, the Excise Calculation are coming correct values i(.e 10% ),but in the tables it was not updated correctly (J_1IRG23D) only one entry is showing wrong ,the other entries in the table are correct.

Kindly help in this issue.

Hi Siva,
J1IG is to create depot excise invoice.
you can update J-1IRG23D table in two ways-
MIGO > Create Rg23D
OR MIGO > No excise entry and then create RG23D entry via J1IG.
For more information on the same please gothrough -

KONV not getting updated with new condition type value

Hi,
I have created a new condition type for a pricing procedure. But table KONV-KAWRT is not getting updated with any value. Can anyone help me this.
Thanks
Shweta

Hi Vasu,
It was created in the same way then I have assigned calculation formula . For invoice it is comming fine but for the intercompany billing it is not showing any value in Contition tab for this particular condition type. For this when I checked in KNOV table it is showing condition type but the value (KONV_KAWART) is comming out zero and due to this reason it is not showing value in intercompany billing ->condition. Do I need to write code for this?
Thanks,

There seems to be none OOTB, but you can define it, see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25054_01/doc.1111/e10792/c05_search.htm#CHDIEECF

Comparison of multiple column values with a single column value

I have two separate tables say Tab1 and Tab2
I want to select some datas , which is common to both the tables.
In tab1 , there is a column 'STATE' and it's value is 'A'
In tab2, there are multiple columns for the state, say STATE_A,STATE_B, STATE_C ETC and a row is present with the following details
STATE_A = 1, STATE_B =1 ,STATE_C =0,STATE_D=1
I need to select STATE when STATE_A ='1',
if my STATE='B', this STATE has to be selected since STATE_B =' 1', similraly
if my STATE='D', this STATE has to be selected since STATE_D =' 1',
If my STATE='C', STATE_C should not get selected since it's '0'.
Is it possible to do this in a single SELECT statement, where I have some other checks also or else how can I achieve it?

Maybe this will help
Select * from STATE_MAS ;
STATE
A
B
D
F
H
Select * from STATE_CHILD
STATE_A STATE_B STATE_C STATE_D STATE_E STATE_F STATE_G STATE_H STATE_I STATE_J
1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION GET_STATE (P_VAL VARCHAR) RETURN NUMBER IS
V_SQL VARCHAR2(200);
V_COL VARCHAR2(35);
P_RETURN NUMBER ;
BEGIN
V_COL := 'STATE_'||P_VAL;
V_SQL := 'SELECT 1 FROM STATE_CHILD WHERE '||V_COL||' = 1 ';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE V_SQL INTO P_RETURN ;
RETURN P_RETURN ;
END;
SELECT STATE FROM STATE_MAS
WHERE GET_STATE(STATE) = 1 ;

Report handling names with a single quote

Report 10gR2
I have created a report and most of the functionality that i want is working as expected.
I have a report where i am letting user enter their first name on one field and last name on another field in the parameter screen ( thats how it's stored in the database)
If they enter any name with an aphostrophe , say D'Costa ( either first name or last name)
then i get the below error
REP-50003: Bad parameter: pfaction=http://.........
I am using like keyword as seen below in the afterparam trigger and passing the parameter :p_where_last_name to the main sql query
:p_where_last_name := ' AND UPPER( :last_name) LIKE (' ||''''||'%'||UPPER(:last_name)||'%'||''''||')' ;
Whats the best approach to handle this issue
Also is there a way to capture this error
' REP-50003: Bad parameter: pfaction=http://.........
' and display a message, if so where and how, please advise.
thanks.

I am not using form , it's just done in report, that is i am not calling the report from a form , just from a menu.
:last_name is a report_paramter that i created on the report.
you're right the first assignmnt is
AND UPPER( db column) LIKE
I have a paramter form on the report with a field last name and I am letting the user enter last name there which gets stored in the :last_name

Rodolfo,
your solution works,
:p_where_clause := ' AND UPPER( db_column ) LIKE (' ||''''||'%'||UPPER(Replace(:p_2,chr(39), chr(39)||chr(39)))||'%'||''''||')' ;
but i dont quite understand how this is working
Replace(:p_2,chr(39), chr(39)||chr(39))
i have never used chr

How do I replace one ' (Single Quote) with '' (Two single Quote)

Hi,
I have been surfing around the forum, coudn't find the similiar case.
I have been trying but fail. Below is my code:
activity = request.getParameter("activity");
activity = activity.replace("\'", "\'\'");
Error Occur:
Incompatible type for method. Can't convert java.lang.String to char. activity = activity.replace("\'", "\'");
I'm trying to use replaceAll(), but seem like the method is not existed, we are using Version Java 1.3
Pls advise.
Regards
Ying

For JDK 1.3 or ealier, use this:
public static String replaceSubstrings(String str, String sub, String rep){
    int s, p, q;
    int slen = sub.length();
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    s = 0;
    p = str.indexOf(sub);
    q = p + slen;
    while (p != -1){
      sb.append(str.substring(s, p));
      sb.append(rep);
      s = q;
      p = str.indexOf(sub, s);
      if (p != -1){
        q = p + slen;
    sb.append(str.substring(s));
    return sb.toString();
activity = replaceSubstrings(activity, "'", "''");
