Using LIKE in a conditional statement

I'm trying to color code a column if another column is LIKE "1-%" but there isn't a like option. How is this accomplished?

there is a workaround for this.
say you have 2 column
A---------------------B
1-A----------------ABC
1-C----------------bcd
2-E----------------xyz
create a dummy column which will have only first two characters of column A for ex
A---------------------B--------------C
1-A----------------ABC-----------1-
1-C----------------bcd------------1-
2-E----------------xyz-------------2-
now implement the conditional formatting using this dummy column and hide this in your report. you wil get wat you need.

Using Like Clause in Prepared Statement

Hi,
I want to use LIKE clause in prepared statement. This is not returning any record.
This is the query. Please help me in this.
SELECT EMPLYR_GRP,EMPLYR_GRP_NAME FROM EMPLOYER_GROUP WHERE EMPLYR_GRP_NAME LIKE ? AND EMPLYR_GRP = ?
This is giving Oracle SQL Error.
SELECT EMPLYR_GRP,EMPLYR_GRP_NAME FROM EMPLOYER_GROUP WHERE EMPLYR_GRP_NAME LIKE %?% AND EMPLYR_GRP = ?

The first variant should work just fine as long as you use stmt.setString(1, '%' + pattern + '%') to set the parameter. The second query is just plain wrong.

Problem in using LIKE addition in SELECT statement

HI Experts,
Have a small query for you :
While selecting from Database I want to fetch all records which have the field name like "HR_".
I wrote following select query :
l_tsobj TYPE tst01-dname VALUE 'HR_%',
SELECT * INTO TABLE ltst01 FROM tst01 WHERE dname LIKE l_tsobj.
During debugging it shows me all records like HR_ & all records like HRL.
Not sure why it is fetching records like HRL from database .
In table tst01 total number of records having HR_ = 1231
but the above query select in total 1231 + 2000( records having HRL ..... pattern also ).
I want to restrict data selection at database level only & not at internal table level . Please suggest.
Thanks,
Abhinav.

Hi,
you have to use ESCAPE statement.
DATA:
l_tsobj TYPE tst01-dname VALUE 'HR/_%'.
SELECT *
INTO TABLE ltst01
FROM tst01
WHERE dname LIKE l_tsobj ESCAPE '/'.

Can anyone help me i am in great need of this

The problem with that is it produces the following query:
UPDATE COFFEES SET SALES = 75 WHERE COF_NAME LIKE 'Colombian'Which they also show as a normal Statement (rather than a PreparedStatement) and they claim it will work. Well, in most databases it will work, only if COF_NAME contains exactly "Columbian", just like an "=". If you also want it to return "Columbian Prime" or "Wild Columbian" or whatever, your out of luck without the wildcards, and PreparedStatement does not insert them. If you don't belive it works this way, then test it yourself:
create table TEST_IT (
Bogus VARCHAR(20) Primary Key
insert into TEST_IT values ('AAA');
insert into TEST_IT values ('ABA');
insert into TEST_IT values ('ABC');
SELECT * From Test_It Where Bogus LIKE 'A';
SELECT * From Test_It Where Bogus LIKE 'AAA';
SELECT * From Test_It Where Bogus LIKE '%A%';And inspect what the three select statements return.
Edit: I must apologise, and ask the OP what Driver he is using. This may be somewhat Driver dependent. Using the MySQL 3.1.6 Driver and MySQL 4.1.9, it did not escape the "%" symbols and so
setString(1, "%A%");returned 3 rows. So the reason yours is not, may be dependent on the Driver and/or vendor. But in any case, the example shown in the tutorial (the Statement version) would still not work (at least in most DBs).

Trying to retrieve content from a text field & use it in a conditional statement

Hi Everyone,
I have a form with a text field and a button. The text field is called "orderNo", and the button is called "genOrder".
Initially the text field is empty, and clicking on the button fills the text field with an appropriate order number.
I need to check the text field for data (content) before writing the order number to it, this way if an order number is already present in the text field it will not be over written.
My intention is to use an if / else structure to perform the testing, however I don't know how to retrieve the content of the text field (if content is present!).
If anybody can suggest how I can go about retrieving the content of the text field and then use it in an if / else statement it will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo

I am using Forte Studio 7 under Solaris 8 and 10 (I know that it is old but for the moment this is what I have to use...).
Thanks,
Rak

This is probably a bug in Forte 7.
Can you isolate the problem in a small test case and post the code here. We'll try it on the latest compiler and see if it works or not.
You know you can download Sun Studio 12 and run it on Solaris 10. (SS 12 is not supported on Solaris 8)

Using conditional statements stored inside a variable

I'm trying to store the body of different emails inside of my
database to use in email sent with cfmail. The content of the
emails has conditional statements using cfif and other variables
based on a query running. If I set the content as a variable and
then place that inside of the cfmail tag it does not process the
cold fusion code. Is there a way that I can process this code so
that the final output is what is placed within the cfmail tag or is
it not possible to do what I'm trying to accomplish? Thanks in
advance for any ideas.

Here is a sample taken from the text file. The output created
by the cfsavecontent tag is identical to the text file.

How to use Conditional statements in SQL Loader control file

Hi,
I am using sql loader to load a flat file to the table. I am using control file for this purpose as show below:
LOAD
INTO TABLE store_shrink
TRUNCATE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY " "
TRAILING NULLCOLS
SITE_ID char,
ST_SHRINK char,
ST_REVENUE char,
SHRINK_PR char ":ST_SHRINK/:ST_REVENUE"
My question is this. If in the flat file the value of 'ST_REVENUE' is '0', then I want 'SHRINK_PR' to be '0' as well, and skip the calculation (:st_shrink/:st_revenue).
How to achieve this with the conditional statement or using any Oracle function?
Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
I tried the following in my above query and it doesn't work somehow. Anyone has an idea? I have been on internet throughout but to no avail. Please help:
LOAD

TRAILING NULLCOLS
SITE_ID char,
ST_SHRINK char,
ST_REVENUE char,
SHRINK_PR char "case (when :st_revenue<>'0.00' then :SHRINK_PR=:ST_SHRINK/:ST_REVENUE else :SHRINK_PR='0.00') end"

Conditional statement in html

This is actually not a JSP question but an HTML question. I could'nt find any good html forum sites out there, and since I received excellent replies in my previous post, I am hoping that those of you who know JSP also know html. Heres my question, is there any conditional statement in html (I don't want to use scripts)? The only conditional statement I found was the logic:equal (not equal) statement. And it seems to only work for forms. I am using JSP in conjunction with html so I used an inner html variable declaration in my JSP function. This variable will be used by my html code. And I would like to check the value of that variable in html.
Heres my JSP function containing the inner html declaration:
function showItemEdit(field)
var elements = editWindowDiv.document.all;
elements("editWindowField").value = "";
fieldhtml.innerHTML = field;
var retVal = null;
retVal = window.showModalDialog("javascript:document.write(window.dialogArguments.innerHTML);editWindowInit();",editWindowDiv,
"dialogWidth:335px;dialogHeight:185px;scroll:no;status:no;unadorned:no");
if (retVal == "OK")
alert("OK");
else
alert("Cancel");
The inner html variable, fieldhtml.innerHTML, is the value I would like to check in my html code.
This is what I woul like to accomplish in my html code:
if fieldhtml == register then
<tr>
<td class="bodymd"> <bean:message key="label.register"/>:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="editWindowField" value="" maxlength="5"></td>
</tr>
else
<tr>
<td class="bodymd"> <bean:message key="label.shift_no"/>:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="editWindowField" value="" maxlength="3"></td>
</tr>
end if
I am not sure how to accomplish if-else statements in html. I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

You are mixing things a bit. There is no JSP in your example. You cannot do conditional statements in HTML. However, you can use JavaScript to output HTML:
if(someCondition){
document.write("<yourHTMLTags>whatever</yourHTMLTags>");
else{
document.write("<yourHTMLTags>something else</yourHTMLTags>");
}

How to use i for if condition in a for i in loop?

Hi friends,
I have a question on how to use i for IF condition in a loop, in order to get an efficient programming and results. Here is outlined SQL:
cursor is
select c1,c2,c3 from table1; -- 100 rows returned.
open cursor
loop
fetch c1,c2,c3 into v1,v2,v3;
for i in 1..3 loop
if 'v'||i between 90 and 100 then
v_grade := 'Excellent';
elsif 'v'||i between 80 and 89 then
elsif 'v'||i between 50 and 59 then
end if;
end loop;
close cursor;
This way, I don't need to use a lot of if..then for hard code v1,v2,v3,.... actually I have more v..
But Oracle gave an error of this usage of 'if 'v'||i' or 'v'||to_char(i).
Thanks for any advice in advance!

user508774 wrote:
Thanks for comments and advices. But I didn't get your inputs clearly. Are you saying I don't need to use PL/SQL to achieve this?Correct. Ronel and John showed you the basic approaches. SQL is not a mere I/O language for making read and write calls. It is a very capable, flexible and powerful language. One can solve a problem with a few lines of SQL code, that will take 100's of lines of PL/SQL or Java code.
So do not underestimate what can be done in SQL.
v_cmd := 'UPDATE parts_categ_counts SET w1='||v1||', w2='||v2||...||v9||' WHERE seq='||vseq||';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_cmd;This code is also wrong. Besides the fact that there is no need for dynamic SQL, this approach creates a brand new SQL statement each loop iteration.
SQL is source code. It needs to be parsed (compiled). The end result is an executable program that is called a cursor. This cursor needs to be stored in server memory (the SQL Shared Pool in the SGA).
The problem with your code is that it is slow and expensive - it generates lots of unique SQL statements that need CPU for parsing and server memory for storage.
These add up to a very significant performance overhead. That is the wrong approach. The correct approach is the same one that you would use in any other programming language.
Let's say you need to use Java to process a bunch of CSV files - exact same CSV layout used by each file. A file needs to be read, processed, and a log file created.
Will you write a Java program that loops through the files, for each file found, write a Java program for processing that file, compile it, then execute it?
Or would you write a Java program that takes the name of the file as input, and then process that file and writes the log file?
The 2nd approach provides a program that can process any of those CSV files - one simply needs to pass the filename as an input parameter.
Your code and approach use the 1st method. Not the 2nd. And that is why it is wrong.
To create a SQL program with parameters is done by using bind variables. Instead of
v_cmd := 'UPDATE parts_categ_counts SET w1='||v1||', w2='||v2||...||v9||' WHERE seq='||vseq||';
The following SQL source code should be created:
v_cmd := 'UPDATE parts_categ_counts SET w1=:v1, w2=:v2 ..., w9=:v9 WHERE seq= :vseq';
The tokens with the colon prefix (such as :v1), are bind variables. Think of these as the parameters to the SQL cursor.
The server parses this SQL into a cursor. You can now execute the same cursor over and over again, using different bind variables. (just like the 2nd approach above that one would use in Java)
In PL/SQL, this is made even easier as you can code native SQL code with PL/SQL code and use PL/SQL variables in it. The PL/SQL compiler is clever enough to do the SQL parsing, variable binding, and cursor execution for you. So in PL/SQL, you would use:
UPDATE parts_categ_counts SET w1=v1, w2=v2 ..., w9=v9 WHERE seq= vseq;
Where v1 and the others are PL/SQL variables.
That all said - PL/SQL is only used for data crunching, when the processing of data is too complex for the SQL language to deal with. And this is very seldom the case.
The main reason for using PL/SQL it to provide processing flow control, conditional processing and error handling, for SQL code. As the SQL language does not have these features.

Java programming standard for conditional statement

Hi,
Is it proper Java standard to use constants first in a conditional statement? I've never seen coding in this way, even when I was in college I never saw it in any of our books.
example:
String x = null;
if (null==x){
//Do some stuff
}

~If some wise guy resets it to null, then you've lost all benefit of making a constant out of it to begin withIf that happens, you've got some people problems to deal with! Anyways, if it's really a constant, it'll be final, right?
.... and I was sort-of reiterating that it was a self-named constant... you're right, of course, but I guess I'm just peaved at having to see stuff like...
private String JAN="JAN";
private String FEB="FEB";
// ...and on and on...
// later...
if (FEB.equals(month)) {
// do stuff
} else {
// do stuff
}Have you ever actually seen code like that in production? I wonder, what are you up to that a class needs its own, private, set of months?
My point is that the three-letter abbreviation is always going to be "FEB" (yes, i18N and language specializations aside)Why put them aside, though? They're not exactly corner cases
