Using OR operator with string

How we can use OR operator with string in java??

Why don't you post the code you're having problems with. (Only the relevant areas, please. And use code tags.)

  • Why not use "new" operator  with strings

    why we not use new when declaring a String .because in java String are treated as objects. we use new operator for creating an object in java .
    and same problem wiht array when we declare array as well as initialize .here we are alse not using new for array
    why

    Strings aren't just treated as objects, Strings are Objects.
    As for why not using new for Strings, you can, if you want.:
    String str = "this is a string";
    and
    String str = new String("this is a string");
    do the same thing (nitty-gritty low level details about literals aside). Use whatever you like, but isn't it simpler not to type new String(...) since you still need to type the actual string?
    As for arrays, you can use new:
    int[] ints = new int[10];
    or
    int[] ints = { 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 9 };
    But the difference here is you are creating an empty array in the first one, the second creates and fills the array with the specified values. But which to you often depends on what you are doing.

    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 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.

  • How to use filter operator with ROWNUM

    I would like to add filter operator in my mapping with ROWNUM to reduce the ETL loading time during testing to ensure mapping is working, but I don't know how, please help provide me some guideline. Thank you.

    what is your owb version?
    Starting with Oracle Warehouse Builder 10.2.0.3, you can use the pseudocolumns ROWID and ROWNUM in mappings. The ROWNUM pseudocolumn returns a number indicating the order in which a row was selected from a table. The ROWID pseudocolumn returns the rowid (binary address) of a row in a database table.
    You can use the ROWID and ROWNUM pseudocolumns in Table, View, and Materialized View operators in a mapping. These operators contain an additional column called COLUMN USAGE that is used to identify attributes used as ROWID or ROWNUM. For normal attributes, this column defaults to TABLE USAGE. To use an attribute for ROWID or ROWNUM values, set the COLUMN USAGE to ROWID or ROWNUM respectively.
    You can map a ROWID column to any attribute of data type ROWID, UROWID, or VARCHAR2. You can map ROWNUM column to an attribute of data type NUMBER or to any other data type that allows implicit conversion from NUMBER.
    Note that ROWID and ROWNUM pseudocolumns are not displayed in the Data Object Editor since they are not real columns.

  • 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
    Edited by: 1004111 on May 23, 2013 1:51 AM

    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);

    But when i am trying to update document with multiple unsuccessful items, I am getting error saying " HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error" .
    If it is for a single unsuccessful item,i am able to get the error message as return parameter, but i am not able to get the error messages as return parameter  if it is for multiple(more than one item) unsuccessful items.
    Could you please let me know your thoughts on this.

    Yes: I can.
    Provided someone provides version information
    Provided someone identifies specific API's
    Provided someone defines what conversions they are referring to.
    After you've defined the problem go to metalink or tahiti and look up the answer yourself.

  • Why r we allowed to create String objects with & without using new operator

    While creating any object, usage of the new operator is a must...but only for the string object we can create it with and also without new operator how is it possible to create an object without using new operator.

    Because Mr. (Dr.?) Gosling is a kindly soul who realizes that programmers have deadlines and, when he designed Java, was not so rigid or unbending as not to realize that from time to time, certain shortcuts are warranted, even in a relatively pure language such as Java. The direct String literal assignments are a shortcut over using the new operator making Java programming (and execution; there's also a performance benefit) more streamlined.
    So look not the gift horse in the mouth, but simply bask in the simplification and ease on the eyes and directly assign your little literals to your heart's content.

  • Using == with String object references

    Hi,
    I understand that using the == operator to compare two String object references in Java will yield false for two different object references even when the contents are the same, and that you are supposed to use the method .equals() instead. However, in my program the == operator actually works for two different object references that point to the same object since it yields true! I don't understand why it works in my program when it shouldn't. Does someone know why?
    Thanks!

  • Use Operator == for String Comparison

    Hi,
    I would like to know more about the impact of using operator == in String Comparison.
    From the reference I get, it state this :
    "Operator (==) compares two object addresses to see whether it refers to the same object."
    I've tested it with 2 codes as below :
    Code 1:
              String Pass1 = "cosmo";
              String Pass2 = "cosmo";          
    if (Pass1==Pass2)
                   System.out.println("1&2:same");
              else
                   System.out.println("1&2:not same");
    Output : 1&2:same
    Code 2:
              String Pass3 = new String("cosmo");
              String Pass4 = new String("cosmo");
              if (Pass3==Pass4)
                   System.out.println("3&4:same");
              else
                   System.out.println("3&4:not same");
    Output : 3&4:not same
    Can anyone kindly explain why is the result so? If operator == compares the addresses, isn't it that the 1st code should also have the output :"1&2:not same".

    Can anyone kindly explain why is the result so?It's an implementation artifact. Strings are pooled internally and because of that any String literal will be represented by exactly one object reference.
    Knowledge of this shouldn't be utilized though. It's safer to follow the basic rule: Use == to compare object references and equals to compare object values, such as String literals.

    Purchased a used macbook pro with Mountain Lion. My old Mac runs Snow Leopard is backed up to Time machine. How do I register the operating system to me and how do I use Time Machine to move my files to the new used computer?

    If you look at the User Tips tab, you will find a write up on just this subject:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4053
    The subject of buying/selling a Mac is quite complicated.  Here is a guide to the steps involved. It is from the Seller's point of view, but easily read the other way too:
    SELLING A MAC A
    Internet Recovery, and Transferability of OS & iLife Apps
    Selling an Old Mac:
    • When selling an old Mac, the only OS that is legally transferable is the one that came preinstalled when the Mac was new. Selling a Mac with an upgraded OS isn't doing the new owner any favors. Attempting to do so will only result in headaches since the upgraded OS can't be registered by the new owner. If a clean install becomes necessary, they won't be able to do so and will be forced to install the original OS via Internet Recovery. Best to simply erase the drive and revert back to the original OS prior to selling any Mac.
    • Additionally, upgrading the OS on a Mac you intend to sell means that you are leaving personally identifiable information on the Mac since the only way to upgrade the OS involves using your own AppleID to download the upgrade from the App Store. So there will be traces of your info and user account left behind. Again, best to erase the drive and revert to the original OS via Internet Recovery.
    Internet Recovery:
    • In the event that the OS has been upgraded to a newer version (i.e. Lion to Mountain Lion), Internet Recovery will offer the version of the OS that originally came with the Mac. So while booting to the Recovery Disk will show Mountain Lion as available for reinstall since that is the current version running, Internet Recovery, on the other hand, will only show Lion available since that was the OS shipped with that particular Mac.
    • Though the Mac came with a particular version of Mac OS X, it appears that, when Internet Recovery is invoked, the most recent update of that version may be applied. (i.e. if the Mac originally came with 10.7.3, Internet Recovery may install a more recent update like 10.7.5)
    iLife Apps:
    • When the App Store is launched for the first time it will report that the iLife apps are available for the user to Accept under the Purchases section. The user will be required to enter their AppleID during the Acceptance process. From that point on the iLife apps will be tied to the AppleID used to Accept them. The user will be allowed to download the apps to other Macs they own if they wish using the same AppleID used to Accept them.
    • Once Accepted on the new Mac, the iLife apps can not be transferred to any future owner when the Mac is sold. Attempting to use an AppleID after the apps have already been accepted using a different AppleID will result in the App Store reporting "These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID".
    • It appears, however, that the iLife Apps do not automatically go to the first owner of the Mac. It's quite possible that the original owner, either by choice or neglect, never Accepted the iLife apps in the App Store. As a result, a future owner of the Mac may be able to successfully Accept the apps and retain them for themselves using their own AppleID. Bottom Line: Whoever Accepts the iLife apps first gets to keep them.
    SELLING A MAC B
    Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
    Step One - Back up your data:
    A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
    B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
    2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
    3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
    side.
    4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
    sure to opt for that.
    Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
    startup drive. 
    Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
    1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
    2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
    3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
    4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
    5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
    Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
    A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X

    it is three times faster than wireless.
    1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
    Utilities window appears.
    2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button. 
    3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
    on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
    and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
    5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
    7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
    *If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.
