Using UPPER function with LONG datatype column

Hi,
Can anyone tell that how can I use UPPER function on a column which has data type as-- LONG?
For ex--
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE UPPER(LONG_COL) LIKE 'MYTEXT%';
thanks,

Thanks,
AbhijeetI think you'll have to write a function to do this for you. You can use DBMS_SQL to break a LONG into pieces and work with 32K segments. I am not sure how to put the converted data back into the LOB at that point, though DBMS_SQL might provide a way to do this.

  • Update LONG datatype columns

    Can anyone point me to a description on how I can update a column of datatype LONG.
    I will be using a stored procedure/cursor and need to be able to append a string variable to the end of a LONG datatype column that will have other text.
    Thanks in advance,
    Miller

    The use of LONG has several limitations. Please refer to the SQL Reference for details.
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/toc.htm
    From the documentation:
    You can reference LONG columns in SQL statements in these places:
    n SELECT lists
    n SET clauses of UPDATE statements
    n VALUES clauses of INSERT statements
    The use of LONG values is subject to some restrictions:
    n A table cannot contain more than one LONG column.
    n You cannot create an object type with a LONG attribute.
    n LONG columns cannot appear in integrity constraints (except for NULL and NOT
    NULL constraints).
    n LONG columns cannot be indexed.
    n A stored function cannot return a LONG value.
    n Within a single SQL statement, all LONG columns, updated tables, and locked
    tables must be located on the same database.
    LONG columns cannot appear in certain parts of SQL statements:
    n WHERE clauses, GROUP BY clauses, ORDER BY clauses, or CONNECT BY clauses or
    with the DISTINCT operator in SELECT statements
    n The UNIQUE operator of a SELECT statement
    n The column list of a CREATE CLUSTER statement
    n The CLUSTER clause of a CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW statement
    n SQL functions (such as SUBSTR or INSTR)
    n Expressions or conditions
    n SELECT lists of queries containing GROUP BY clauses
    n SELECT lists of subqueries or queries combined by the UNION, INTERSECT, or
    MINUS set operators
    Note: Oracle Corporation strongly recommends that you convert
    LONG columns to LOB columns. LOB columns are subject to far
    fewer restrictions than LONG columns. See "TO_LOB" on page 4-111
    for more information.

  • VERY URGENT: problem in sql query with long datatype in weblogic

    I have a problem while tryind to retrieve a column value with a long datatype using servlet and oci driver and the server is weblogic5.1 .I have used prepared statement the problem comes in the
    preparedStatement.executeQuery().
    The sql Query is simple query and runs well in all cases and fails only when the long datatype column is included in the query.
    The exception that comes on the weblogic server is that :
    AN UNEXPECTED EXCEPTION DETECTED IN THE NATIVE CODE OUTSIDE THE VM.

    Did you try changing the driver then?
    Please use Oracle's thin driver instead of the oci driver.
    There are many advantages of using the type 4 driver. the first and foremost being that it does not require oracle client side software on your machine. Therefore no enteries to be made in tnsnames.ora
    The thin driver is available in a jar called classes112.zip the class which implements the thin driver is oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
    the connection string is
    jdbc:oracle:thin:@<machine name>:1521:<sid>
    please try out with the thin driver and let me know.
    regards,

  • Creating Report using EPM Functions with Dynamic Filters

    Hi All,
    I am new to BPC, In BPC 7.5 i seen like we can generate EPM report using EVDRE function very quickly and easy too. Is the same feature is existing in BPC 10.0 ? if no how can we create EPM reports using EPM Functions with Dynamic Filters on the Members of the dimension like in BPC 7.5.
    And i searched in SDN, there is no suitable blogs or documents which are related to generation of Reports using EPM Functions. All are described just in simple syntax way. It is not going to be understand for the beginners.
    Would you please specify in detail step by step.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Siva Nagaraju

    Siva,
    These functions are not used to create reports per se but rather assist in building reports. For ex, you want to make use of certain property to derive any of the dimension members in one of your axes, you will use EPMMemberProperty. Similary, if you want to override members in any axis, you will make use of EPMDimensionOverride.
    Also, EvDRE is not replacement of EPM functions. Rather, you simply create reports using report editor (drag and drop) and then make use of EPM functions to build your report. Forget EvDRE for now.
    You can protect your report to not allow users to have that Edit Report enabled for them.
    As Vadim rightly pointed out, start building some reports and then ask specific questions.
    Hope it clears your doubts.

  • Using modular functions with movieclips

    hi guys, this morning i was looking a tutorial that shows how to make modular functions, the user only used numbers, i was wandering if there is a way to use this with movieclips or childs.
    The example was:
    function addNumber(num1:Number,  num2:Number,  num3:Number):void
    trace(num1+num2*num3);
    addNumber(3, 4, 7);
    i tried using a movieclip called cuadro and triying to move on the x axis, but it didnt work out:
    function mObj(obj1:MovieClip,  num1:Number):void
    obj1.x = num1;
    addNumber(cuadro, 50);
    any sugestion?
    thnks in advance

    oh sorry my bad, i was trying another stuff
    i know that the last line must say
    mObj(cuadro, 50);
    what im trying to do is use the function with some objects in the stage, and for example when i press the first button, it will write mObj(cuadro1, 50) , button2  mObj(cuadro2, 80), so i can use the same function for diferents objects

  • How can I use AGO function with aggregates

    I use aggregated table and a detailed table
    I have time hierarchy whose lowest level is date. For sales I
    created year-to-year (YTD) comparision with AGO function. It
    works OK.
    BUT, I want to speed it up, so I used aggregates. I created new
    time table grouped by MONTH and corresponding agg_SALES table. I
    created connections and mapped the fields. It works OK for
    normal queries, that means my queries at month level use
    aggregates. BUT when I add YTD measures or YAGO measure in query, it goes to
    then SALES table whose grain is date.
    How can I force BI Server to use AGO function with aggregates?
    I use OBIEE 10.1.3.4

    Hi,
    you can not do it in Administration tool but you can set agregation for that field in Answers (fx->Agregation rule->Sum) and effect should be the same. Note that it may not work properly on Oracle 10g as generated SQL is not 100% recognized, on 11g everything is OK (at least in my case).

  • Use private function with interface

    I'm working with ActionScript 2 and wanted to use an
    interface for one of my classes. However, the functions that it
    would define should be private in the classes that implement the
    interface. The problem is that I can't define private functions in
    the interface, and if I leave off any scope in the interface
    ("function findAndSetInformation():Void;") and make it private in
    the implementing class ("private function
    findAndSetInformation():Void {...") I get the error: "The
    implementation of the interface method doesn't match its
    definition.
