Using like operator with attributes in select command

Hi,
I have a table with the attributes as DID, PNO,AGE, DEPARTMENT, DATEOFADM, CHARGES, ADDRESS, DOD
I want to display the records with the months in DOD and DATEOFADM same. How can I do so? I also want to do the same with the dates in the 2 attributes.
Thanks

Hi,
Please read SQL and PL/SQL FAQ
When you put some <b>code or output</b> please enclose it between two lines starting with {noformat}<b></b>{noformat}
i.e.:
{noformat}{noformat}
SELECT ...
{noformat}{noformat}
You should post create table and insert statement for your requirement.
You can check if 2 dates have the same month in either way:-- this is comparing year and month
SELECT *
FROM yourtable
WHERE TRUNC(dod,'MM')=TRUNC(dateofadm,'MM');
-- or in case you want to compare only months no matter the year
SELECT *
FROM yourtable
WHERE EXTRACT(MONTH FROM dod) = EXTRACT(MONTH FROM dateofadm);
Regards.

How to use LIKE operator with PreparedStatement

Hi, I need to execute a query with the LIKE operator, but using a PreparedStatement. Can I do this, and if so what must my SQL look like with the wildcard characters '%' or '_'?
normal PS example: conn.prepareStatement("select * from mytable where name like ?");
If I try: conn.prepareStatement("select * from mytable where name like ?%");
I get: ORA-00911: invalid character
If I try: conn.prepareStatement("select * from mytable where name like '?%'");
I get: ORA-01006: bind variable does not exist
I must use a PreparedStatement, as my variable may contain illegal characters (like '), and using PreparedStatement.setString(1, var) will automatically escape it for me.
I could also use a normal Statement, but I need to escape my var ... is there a utility that will safely escape a String for an Oracle VARCHAR2??
Thanks in advance,
Stu Miller

Hmm, it seems you are right...
when my variable contains a '%' symbol, the PreparedStatement will NOT escape it, and thus it is treated like a wildcard. Therefore, I can just do
pstmt.setString(1, var+"%");
But, that may return more results than I'm asking for, as when 'var' contains a '%' symbol it is taken as a wildcard too.
I need each character in my variable to be taken literally, and only add a wildcard at the end. Basically, I need a STARTSWITH operator ;-)
It seems to me that escaping the sensitive characters in a String (which will differ depending on which operator is used), should be possible. I could write this, but I was hoping Oracle had already done it for me in some utility class.

Problem in JDBC , when using LIKE operator. - VERY URGENT

Problem in JDBC , when using LIKE operator.
LINE 1 : String temp = "AA";
LINE 2 : String query = "select * from emp where EMPNAME like '*temp*' ";
LINE 3 : Staement st = con.createStaement();
LINE 4 : ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(query);
'*' character is not getting evaluated. In MS ACCESS2000 only * is accepted instead of '%'. Moreover in MS ACCESS the like operator has to be used within double quotes as a String. whereas in other databases, it accepts single quotes as a String.
Ex:
In MS ACCESS
     select * from emp where ename like "*aa*";
Other Databases
     select * from emp where ename like '%aa%';
In my situation iam passing a Variable inside a like operator and '*' is used.
For the above Scenario, Please help me out.
If possible Kindly let me know the exact Syntax.
Please give me the answer as LINE1,LINE2,LINE3,LINE4,
I have verified in JDBC Spec also, it has been specified to use escape sequence.that too did not work.
Due to this, My project is in hold for about 4 days. I could not find a suitable solution.
Please help me out.

I made a LIKE clause work with M$ Access, using PreparedStatement and the % wildcard:
            escapeStr                   = "%";
            String sql                  = "SELECT USERNAME, PASSWORD FROM USERS WHERE USERNAME LIKE ?";
            PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
            statement.setString(1, ("user" + escapeStr));
            ResultSet resultSet         = statement.executeQuery();
            while (resultSet.next())
                System.out.println("username: " + resultSet.getObject("USERNAME") + " password: " + resultSet.getObject("PASSWORD"));

How to use LIKE operator in plsql

Hi
I wanted to select certain rows using like operator in plsql(Input should be given by the user). I have given my experiment here .I couldn't get any result.
As per sql syntax while using LIKE operator we should give search criteria within single quote.where as in plsql if we give within single quote its takes as string so no output is comming.what is solution ? How to use like operator in plsql?
sql syntax

WHERE customer_name LIKE 'B%' ; customer_name

     SELECT customer_name FROM customer_header
          WHERE customer_name LIKE ( ' v_cname ' );
END pro_custheader_like;

sql>set serveroutput on
sql>exec package_name.pro_custheader_like( 'R',:answer);

plsql syntax
PROCEDURE pro_custheader_like ( v_cname IN

,answer OUT
type_refcur_customer) IS
N
     OPEN answer FOR
     SELECT customer_name FROM customer_header
WHERE customer_name LIKE ( v_cname );

Try it without any quotes. And, let us know your feedback.

Using Like Operator For Parameter Fields

Hi All,
I have been figuring around this for few days, appreciated anyone know this could assit me
I have a report which having a mobile no parameter fields.
In my database, my mobile no was not a clean entry.
For eg, a standard mobile number from Malaysia was 60126143331.
1) 60 - indicate country code (MYS)
2) 12 - indicate mobile operator
3) 6143331 - indicate phone number
Usually, peoples will entry it as 6012-6143331 or 012-6143331 or 0126143331 or 60126143331. In my CR report, i have a static mobile no selection. Currently, my filter selection will be as below:
{pax.mobile_no} = {?p_mobileno}
any possible to change it to like? meaning to say, if user enter 012-6143331 it will know that this was 6012-6143331 and the records will be selected into the report.
Appreciated anyone know this could assits.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
CK

Hi,
tq for ur prompt reply.
D value in my database r not fix, some mobile no could b 7 digits some could b up to 12 digits. But I jz want user to enter mobile no in 10 digits only. Example, mobile no in db wa 60126661233. However, user input in parameter selection could only 0126661233 without 6. In some situation if mobile no in db was 6012-6661233, user input willb only 0126661233 n this input will b match with data in db using like operator.
I m wondering can this b archieve in cr?
Tq

can anyone help me out in resolving this issue.

Hi All,
Thank u all for ur replies, but I dint the exact solution for what I'm searching for.
If I use the condition as
"WHERE "Workforce Budget"."Used Budget Amount" BETWEEN MAX("Workforce Budget"."Total Eligible Salaries") AND MAX("Workforce Budget"."Published Worksheet Budget Amount"",
all the data will be grouped with the two columns which I'm considering in the condition.
my actual requirement with this query is to get the required date from a table to generate the report either as daily or weekly or monthly report. If I use repository variables, variables are not getting refreshed until I regenerate the server(which I should not do in my project). Hence I have created a table to hold weekly start and end dates and monthly start and end dates to pass the value to the actual report using between operator.
please could anyone help me on this, my release date is fast approaching.

How tio use like operator in textitem to get the name

A is the head of Dept 10 and three person are under A namelyHow will you know that B, C and D are under A is there any parent child relationship between Leader and Employee code? If yes, Then you can create the relationship between blocks no need to set where_clause programatically. So, relationship can be like...
leader_block.emp_code = emp_block.leader_code
AND leader_blokc.dep_code = emp_block.dep_codeSo, when you will query data in LEADER block it will show employees which are under LEADER which you queried in LEADER block.
Or if there is no relationship then how will you know that which employee under which leader?
b 002 10 1
c 003 10 1
d 004 10 1
When i enter the name of head corresponding other members in the department will need to display in the
Tabular format Or if you want to query the records only for department relation. Then as you said you create two blocks then create create the relationship using dep_code between those blocks.
like...
leader.dep_code = emp_block.dep_code-Ammad

Get Result using LIKE operator

Hi All,
I am bit confused as to how to get this output using like operator :
select * from table1 where name like 'P&C%';
Here , since '&' is there , sql is prompting me to enter a value for C instead of giving output. I tried using escape but it is not working.
Can anybody tell me how to overcome this problem..?
Thanx.

Alright,
Here you go. In 'SQL Editor' in PL/SQL Developer:
Pulled this off the PL/SQL Developer Manual:
Escape character
If you wish to use an ampersand in the SQL text that should not be interpreted as a substitution variable,
use a double ampersand instead. The following example will retrieve all employees from the ‘R&D’
department:
select * from emp
where emp.deptno in (select dept.deptno from dept
where dname = 'R&&D')
order by empno desc
If the text 'R&D' had been used instead, you would have been prompted for the D variable.

How to use glob search with the wildcard in command find?
I want to find any file its names begin with "readme" string using command find. Why the following command cannot work?

However, the following commands can work?

I want to find any file its names begin with "readme*" string using the command find.What command should I use?

I want to know: After using the “\” or ' ', why the
wildcard do not become a character "*"?(still a
metacharacter). The backslash is known as an escape character. It means 'use the character value of the next character, not the special meaning' It is used in a lot of places such as command line, global regular expression patterns, and editors such as vi.
In a typical shell, the splat (*) expands to all file names before passing the file names to the current command. So a \* sequence tells the shell to pass a *, not a list of file names, to the command.
Demo - OpenSuSE Linux 10.3
