Using CAST function to convert to timestamp

I have a select statement that runs via JDBC and is not using any index as timestamp is explicitly used. I would like to be able to convert to Date so the proper index can be used as this column is of Date datatype. I'm having "ORA-25137: Data value out of range" when I use "b.TRAN_DATE BETWEEN CAST(:1 AS DATE) AND CAST(:2 AS DATE) : instead of "b.TRAN_DATE BETWEEN :a and :b.
Could someone help with this as I really want our indexes to be used and therefore Date datatype should be used in the JDBC connection
Thanks

Below is the query that is not using the index b/c of the date datatype. Changing b.TRAN_DATE BETWEEN :1 AND :2 to b.TRAN_DATE BETWEEN CAST(:1 AS DATE) AND CAST(:2 AS DATE) gives "ORA-25137: Data value out of range" error.

ORA-00902: invalid datatype comile error while using CAST function

Hi everyone,
I'm getting ORA-00902: invalid datatype compilation error while using CAST function.
open ref_cursor_list for select empName from TABLE(CAST(part_t AS partnumberlist));
The partnumberlist and ref_cursor_list is declared in the Package spec as given below.
TYPE ref_cursor_list IS REF CURSOR;
TYPE partnumberlist IS TABLE OF emp.empName%TYPE;
The error points the partnumberlist as invalid datatype in TOAD because of this i'm unable to compile the package.
Any suggestion
Thanks and regards

Using CAST Function in PL-SQL

Hello guys,
I'm writing a stored procedure which tries to convert a string representing a number to a fixed size number(with 2 positions fraction). For example, if the input was "15,456" the result would become 15.45.
I was able to aschieve this ussing the CAST function within a query as follows:
select cast ('15,456' as number(15,2)) from dual; -- (the comma in my case is configured as fraction separator). The previous query executes OK using a query analyzer like SQL Plus.
However, when I try to use the same function within a stored procedure, it will complain about the number's size (15,2) and wont compile.
v_importe_ingresado := CAST('15,456' AS NUMBER(15,2));
Error output: PLS-00103 found '(' but expected one of the following: .)@%
When removing the (15,2) it compiles ok
¿Any clue?
I will appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance,
Bernabé

¿Any clue?¿¿¿Over complication???
SQL> select round(15.456, 2), trunc(15.456, 2) from dual
2 /
ROUND(15.456,2) TRUNC(15.456,2)
15.46 15.45

How to use CAST function in obiee 11g in rpd

Hai,
I am trying to use the cast fucntion in rpd in bmm layer for a new logical column that I have created and is giving me error compile message.
Can any one please help me out or find out what is wrong in the function I am using.
The expression I am trying to use is
( CAST ( "Chase Card Acquisition"."Fact Deposit"."Base Earn" as decimal(18,0) ) + "Chase Card Acquisition"."Fact Deposit"."Tot Bonus Earn" )

Decimal is not a supported type in the logical layer. See:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e10540/sqlref.htm#BIEMG559
for supported types.
If you are casting as Int then do not specify the precision ('cast x as int' NOT 'cast x as int(y,z)'). Regards,
Robert

Date shows timestamp with cast function

hi,
i am entering date from java to oracle, when i used CAST function to convert as TIMESTAMP it shows the correct time in ONE DB environment.
But the same date not showing proper time in another DB environment.
It always shows 12.00.00.000000
shall i want to set any values in db level.
QL> SELECT CAST(MKR_DT AS TIMESTAMP) FROM NAAP30_APPPRODUCTS WHERE APPLICATION_ID=2007020026410;

Please advice...
Thanks in advance

CAST function issue

Hi Experts,
I have use CAST function for change INT to VARCHAR for Time data. When I run the query it through the below error
*Data value out of range at OCI call OCIStmtFetch. [nQSError: 17012] Bulk fetch failed*
Please let me know any suggestion.
Thanks,
Balaa...

Hi bala,
If you use cast function to convert it to varchar cast(column as char) would suffice.
But the error might be due to the date format in your system....Try this way by giving cast('dd-mon-yy hh:mm:ss' as char) it might work.
More info :- Convert string to a date
Is it answered?

Using analytical function to calculate concurrency between date range

Folks,
I'm trying to use analytical functions to come up with a query that gives me the
concurrency of jobs executing between a date range.
For example:
JOB100 - started at 9AM - stopped at 11AM
JOB200 - started at 10AM - stopped at 3PM
JOB300 - started at 12PM - stopped at 2PM
The query would tell me that JOB1 ran with a concurrency of 2 because JOB1 and JOB2
were running started and finished within the same time. JOB2 ran with the concurrency
of 3 because all jobs ran within its start and stop time. The output would look like this.
JOB START STOP CONCURRENCY
=== ==== ==== =========
100 9AM 11AM 2
200 10AM 3PM 3
300 12PM 2PM 2
I've been looking at this post, and this one if very similar...

after some checking the model rule wasn't working exactly as expected.
I believe it's working right now. I'm posting a self-contained example for completeness sake.I use 2 functions to convert back and forth between epoch unix timestamps, so
I'll post them here as well.

Memory Leak in Algorithms.Cast function?

I have the following line in my code:
Algorithms.Cast(OrigImage, tempRGB, ImageType.Rgb32)
OrigImage is a U8. It appears to have a 7mb memory leak.
Before: 81168K,
After: 88560K
Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix?
Note: I properly dispose of all images when I am done using them.
Thanks!

Can you describe the situation a little bit more? What memory are you refering to when you say "Before: 81168K, After: 88560K"? Are you talking about the total amount of memory reserved by the application?
The cast function will convert an image of one type to another. If you were going from a U8 image to an RGB 32, the new image would require about 12 times the memory as the original image. 7 Mb would be a reasonable amount of memory increase for this process.

Help on CAST function, defining TYPE TABLE and using a REF cursor

Hi,
I have written a procedure (lookup) inside a package (lookup_pkg) as shown below.
Procedure has an output variable of type PL/SQL TABLE which is defined in the package.
I want to write a wrapper procedure lookupref to the procedure lookup to return a ref cursor.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE lookup_pkg AS
TYPE t_lookup_refcur IS REF CURSOR;
CURSOR c_lookup IS
     Select columns1,2,3,....100
               FROM A, B, C, D, E
               WHERE ROWNUM < 1;
TYPE t_lookup IS TABLE OF c_lookup%ROWTYPE;
Procedure lookup(id Number, o_lookup OUT t_lookup);
End lookup_pkg;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY lookup_pkg As
Procedure lookup(id Number, o_lookup OUT t_lookup) IS
BEGIN
END lookup;
Procedure lookupref(id Number, o_lookupref OUT t_lookup_refcur) IS
o_lookup t_lookup;
BEGIN
lookup(id, o_lookup t_lookup);
OPEN t_lookup_refcur FOR
SELECT *
     FROM TABLE(CAST(o_lookup AS t_lookup));
Exception
End lookupref;
END lookup_pkg;
When I compile this procedure, I am getting invalid datatype Oracle error and
cursor points the datatype t_lookup in the CAST function.
1. Can anyone tell me what is wrong in this. Can I convert a PL/SQL collection (pl/sql table in this case) to PL/SQL datatype table or does it need to be a SQL datatype only (which is created as a type in database).
Also, to resolve this error, I have created a SQL type and table type instead of PL/SQL table in the package as shown below.
create or replace type t_lookuprec as object
               (Select columns1,2,3,....100
               FROM A, B, C, D, E
               WHERE ROWNUM < 1);
create or replace type t_lookup_tab AS table of t_lookuprec;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY lookup_pkg As
Procedure lookup(id Number, o_lookup OUT t_lookup) IS
BEGIN
END lookup;
Procedure lookupref(id Number, o_lookupref OUT t_lookup_refcur) IS
o_lookup t_lookup;
BEGIN
lookup(id, o_lookup t_lookup);
OPEN t_lookup_refcur FOR
SELECT *
     FROM TABLE(CAST(o_lookup AS t_lookup_tab));
Exception
End lookupref;
END lookup_pkg;
When I compile this package, I am getting "PL/SQL: ORA-22800: invalid user-defined type" Oracle error and
points the datatype t_lookup_tab in the CAST function.
2. Can anyone tell me what is wrong. Can I create a type with a select statement and create a table type using type created earlier?
I have checked the all_types view and found that
value for Incomplete column for these two types are YES.
3. What does that mean?
Any suggestions and help is appreciated.
Thanks
Srinivas

create or replace type t_lookuprec as object
(Select columns1,2,3,....100
FROM A, B, C, D, E
WHERE ROWNUM < 1);You are correct that you need to use CREATE TYPE to use the type in SQL.
However unless I am mistaken you appear to have invented your own syntax for CREATE TYPE, suggest you refer to Oracle documentation.

Reading a binary file using the type cast function is not working

Hello
I am trying to read a binary file. Using the Read from binary file and type cast functions I can actually get the information from the file.
I set an indicator in the “Normal” option in Properties. I can read the header and footer but not the body of the file; For the body of the file all I can see is characters of the type
“C¾ Ü Qþ X@ “. One of the other options, Password, seems to provide an output of just the characters that were originally written, but then again, I can not read the characters because it is only asterisks and I can not copy them onto a word processor either.
I tried setting the indicator in Hexadecimal mode, then creating a local variable that acts as a control and use the type cast function again to see if could convert the Hexadecimal string to readable ASCII characters; unfortunately, this did not work either.
I don’t know what else I should try or if there is something that I may not be doing right and for that reason I am not getting the desired results. I hope someone has an idea about this issue.
Regards,

Well, actually I don’t have any information about this file. I will try to obtain information about it though.
This is a file that contains velocity information; there are 65 channels that form a velocity profile in a pipe. Also, there are 4096 velocity profiles. I don’t know what is the format of these values.
The software that creates the file provides a text file. Using this text file the velocity information can be processed and then plotted.
I want to avoid all these intermediate steps and read, process and plot everything using only LabView. BTW, I am using LabView 8.2

Derive found flag in SQL with where clause using TABLE(CAST function

Dear All,
Stored procedure listEmployees
==========================
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE STRING_ARRAY AS VARRAY(8000) OF VARCHAR2(15);
empIdList STRING_ARRAY
countriesList STRING_ARRAY
SELECT EMP_ID, EMP_COUNTRY, EMP_NAME, FOUND_FLAG_
FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE
EMP_ID IN
(SELECT * FROM TABLE(CAST(empIdList AS STRING_ARRAY))
AND EMP_COUNTRY IN
(SELECT * FROM TABLE(CAST(countriesList AS STRING_ARRAY))
=================
I have a stored procedure which lists the employees using above simple query.
Here I am using table CAST function to find the list of employees in one go
instead of looping through each and every employee
Everything fine until requirements forced me to get the FOUND_FLAG as well.
Now I wanted derive the FOUND_FLAG by using rownum, rowid, decode functions
but I was not successful
Can you please suggest if there is any intelligent way to say weather the
row is found for given parameters in the where clause?
If not I may have to loop through each set of empIdList, countriesList
and find the values individually just to set a flag. In this approach I can’t use
the TABLE CAST function which is efficient I suppose.
Note that query STRING_ARRAY is an VARRAY. It is very big in size and this procedure
suppose to handle large sets of data.
Thanks In advance
Regards
Charan

If your query returns results, you have found them... so your "FOUND" flag might be a constant,...

Convert smartform output in to PDF using CONVERT_OTF function how to do it

Hi Anil , and Hi All
         I am trying to display smartforms output in java webdynpro
         for that i have got the following code in sdn.
           can anybody please clarify these doubts in the below code
           1) What are the mandatory input and output parameters
               I have to pass here in this code to my application
           2) please check my previous post also in this regards please
   . Please reply at the very earliest. Check the below code
Convert smartform output in to PDF using CONVERT_OTF function module and you can write pdf using parameter 'binfile' of this function in WebDynpro using the following code:
It is copied from my prg. I hope you understand it.
public void onActionGetQuote(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
//@@begin onActionGetQuote(ServerEvent)
wdThis.wdGetOppt_QwriterCustController().executeZquote_Writer_Input();
String fileName = wdContext.currentZquote_Writer_InputElement().getOrder().toString().trim() + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".pdf";
String pdfOutput = new String(wdContext.currentOutputElement().getBinfile());
if (pdfOutput != null)
try
String pdfResoucePath = WDURLGenerator.getResourcePath(wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart(), fileName);
FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(new File(pdfResoucePath));
PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(fileOutputStream);
ps.print(pdfOutput);
ps.close();
//Display the PDF to the browser
String fileURL = WDURLGenerator.getAbsoluteWebResourceURL(wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart(), fileName);
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(fileURL, "Pdf Browser", false);
window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.ADDRESS_BAR);
window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.MENU_BAR);
window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.STATUS_BAR);
window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.TOOL_BAR);
window.open();
// To collect all the file created in the server by user
quoteFiles.add(quoteFiles.size(), pdfResoucePath);
} catch (Exception e)
throw new WDRuntimeException(e);
//@@end

Hi
    ABAPers prepared a BAPI function module which calls Smart form , how can i execute it from java Webdynpro, so that I can display the smart form in Webdynpro. Pleas reply at the very earliest. Every answer will be rewarded.

USE OF Type cast function ?

can any one explain the use of type cast function with help of example please i am not able to understand the explaination given in ni.com site

LabVIEW provides a function called Type Cast, which allows data to pass through it unchanged while the type of the wire changes. Please refer to the given link which elaborates on the type cast function with required instances.
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/glang/type_cast/
In case of any clarifications needed, do revert.

Type cast function use

Good
morning,
I am using
the “type cast” function and the “visa write” subvi to control a DO channel of
Arduino (RS232 communication), please see image attached. Can somebody advise how
should I program in LabVIEW in order to control more DO channels? Furthermore,
when I tried to read the output of “type cast function” during the run of vi I
saw a square symbol. Is there any way to decode this symbol ? I tried to use a
“decimal string to number” suvi but it didn’t work.
Thank you
in advance

dan_u,
Thank you for your reply. It's the first time I am using RS232 communication and also other harware than that of NI and I am little bit confused. With the configuration shown on my vi everything seems to work fine. This means that I can enable and disable a DO channel of arduino, thus the format comes from the "type cast" function seems ok. A previous effort, when I tried to send a string (also by using the "write to visa") of "0" or "1" to disable and enable the same DO channel wasn't successful. This is the reason why I thought that using the "type cast" function is the correct way to write to visa. Now, what I want to do is using e.g three boolean to control three different DO channels. Could you please advise?
Thank you in advance

Error when using cast and convert to datetime

I run a stored procedure
usp_ABC
as
begin
delete from #temp1
where #temp1.ResID not in
( select Col1
from TableA
where ( @I_vId = -1 or Doc_Field_ID = @I_vId)
and ColA1 = 2 and FieldValue !=''
and cast ( FieldValue as DATETIME ) = cast (@strvalue_index as DATETIME)
and ResID = #temp1.ResID
and TypesId = @I_vTypeId
end
But return message "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.'
Format of Column FieldValue is nvarchar(400)
@strvalue_index = '05/05/2013'
So I see in article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174450.aspx MS say about MS SQL Server and SQL Server Compact.
Then I re-write proc:
delete from #temp1
where #temp1.ResID not in
( select Col1
from TableA
where ( @I_vId = -1 or Doc_Field_ID = @I_vId)
and ColA1 = 2 and FieldValue !=''
and cast ( cast(FieldValue as nvarchar(200)) as DATETIME ) = cast (@strvalue_index as DATETIME)
and ResID = #temp1.ResID
and TypesId = @I_vTypeId
so stored run success.
I don't understand how?
When i run only statement in MS SQL Studio Management, the statement run success.
Thanks all,

No bad dates in my data.
Apparently you have. Or, as Johnny Bell pointed out, there is a clash with date formats. Did you try the query with isdate()?
For SQL 2008, you need
CASE WHEN isdate(FieldValue) = 1
THEN CAST (FieldValue AS datetime)
END =
CASE WHEN isdate(@strvalue_index) = 1
THEN CAST (@strvalue_index AS datetime)
END

I think date formats is OK. So when I re-write stored:
and cast ( FieldValue as DATETIME ) = cast (@strvalue_index as DATETIME)
=>
and cast ( cast(FieldValue as varchar(200)) as DATETIME ) = cast (@strvalue_index as DATETIME)
the stored procedure will run success. I see in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174450.aspx MS
has an IMPORTANT:
Important
When using CAST or CONVERT for nchar, nvarchar, binary, and varbinary,
SQL Server truncates values to maximum of 30 characters. SQL Server Compact allows 4000 for nchar and nvarchar, and 8000 for binary and varbinary. Due
to this, results generated by querying SQL Server and SQL Server Compact are different. In cases where the size of the data types is specified such as nchar(200), nvarchar(200), binary(400), varbinary(400), the results are consistent across SQL Server and
SQL Server Compact.
I can't explain it in this case
