What is the column name when use select ... from table(my_table)

I have some code that takes a csv and loads it into a type table. I am now trying to select from this table but am not sure what column name to use in my cursor. (See below I have c2.???).

l_tab.extend;
l_tab(l_tab.last) := TRIM(SUBSTR(l_text, 1, l_idx - 1));
l_text := SUBSTR(l_text, l_idx + 1);

with PL/SQL, objects must be declared before they can be referenced.
You need to correct syntax errors before tackling any runtime/logic flaws.

Oracle 10g - Defining the column name in Non English

Hi Experts,
I have an exisitng application which is developed on Windows using ASP Technology and uses Oracle 10g 10.1.0.2.0.
The application is supported with an instance of Data Base within which multiple tablespaces are created for different clients. The application is developed in such a way that some of the tables arecreated dynamically and the columns are named using the data entered through the UI.
This application needs to be globalized now. The problem is, the column name entered through the UI can be in any language based on the client's settings and those values in turn will be used for naming the columns in the tables.
1) Can I have the column names to be named using non english characters in Oracle 10g DB? If so,
1.1) what should I do to configure the exisiting Oracle instance to support it?
1.2) To what level is that configuration possible, is it per DB instance level (or) can it be done at Tablespace level. I would like to configure each tablespace to host tables with columns defined with different languages, say for example, tablespace 1 will have tables with Japaenese column names and tablespace 2 will have tables with German column names?
2) What should I do to make my entire DB to support unicode data i.e., to accept any language strings. Currently all strings are declared as VarChar2, should I change all VarChar2 to NVarChar2 (or) is there a way to retain the VarChar2 as is and make some database wide setting?
Please note that I do not have an option of retaining the column in English as per the Business Requirement.
Envionment:
OS - Windows 2003 32 bit
Oracle 10g 10.1.0.2.0

TIA,
Prem

1. Yes, you can.
SQL> create table ÜÝÞ( ßàá number(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert into ÜÝÞ values (10);
1 row created.1.1 and 1.2 and 2. You can choose UTF as your default character set. It allows the user of non-English characters in VARCHAR columns in your whole database. It is not per tablespace.
SQL> create table ÜÝÞ( ßàá varchar2(100));
Table created.
SQL> insert into ÜÝÞ values ('âãäçìé');
1 row created.

Need help on getting the column names of Tabletype

I have a table Mapping with the following values: This Mapping table contains the table names (in Tabname) and the column names(colname) of various tables and values(ValuesTobeFilled) for the columns.
I have to insert into the tables present in the Tabname field with the values present in the ValuesTobeFilled in the columns present in the Colname field.
Note: The Mapping table need not contain all the columns of the base table. The columns that are not present can be filled with null. And this mapping table is not fixed i.e. rows can be inserted/deleted frequently.
Sample values in mapping table:
Tabname                        Colname        ValuesTobeFilled
sample_items     Eno     Corresponding Expression to get the values from XML input
sample_items     Ename     Corresponding Expression to get the values from XML input
XXX     YYY     Corresponding Expression to get the values from XML input
Before filling in the actual tables, I have to store the entire data temporarily and I have used a tabletype declared as follows:
TYPE T_sample_items IS TABLE OF sample_items%ROWTYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
l_sample_items T_sample_items;
Where the table sample_items have the following columns:
•     Eno
•     Ename
•     Eaddress
•     Eemail
So, the tabletype should be filled as:
Eno     Ename     Eaddress     EEmail
1     XXX     -     -
I have declared a cursor to select the values from mapping table and I need to fill in the ValuesTobeFilled values to the corresponding table.
CURSOR c_xpath (c_tname mapping.TABNAME%type)
IS
select * from mapping where tabname = c_tname;
CURSOR c_tables
IS
SELECT DISTINCT TABNAME FROM mapping;
FOR crsr IN c_tables
LOOP
p_tname := CRSR.TABNAME;
FOR csr IN c_xpath(p_tname)
LOOP
IF l_xml_doc.EXISTSNODE(CSR.XPATH_EXP) = 1
THEN
l_node_value := l_xml_doc.extract(CSR.XPATH_EXP).getStringVal(); -- This is the value to be stored in the corresponding column
ELSE
     l_node_value := NULL;
END IF;
IF CSR.COLUMN_NAME = ‘eno’
THEN
     l_sample_items(1).eno := l_node_value;
ELSIF CSR.COLUMN_NAME = ‘ename’
THEN
     l_sample_items(1).name := l_node_value;
END IF;
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
And I need to eliminate hard coding while comparing the column names (in the following piece of code) as the Mapping table values are subject to insertion/deletion:
IF CSR.COLUMN_NAME = ‘eno’
THEN
     l_sample_items(1).eno := l_node_value;
ELSIF CSR.COLUMN_NAME = ‘ename’
THEN
     l_sample_items(1).ename := l_node_value;
END IF;
I need to insert the values directly into the tabletype without this hardcoding. Please suggest me ways to compare the mapping table values with the field (column) names of the tabletype. If it is not possible using tabletype, please suggest any other ways of fixing the problem.
Many thanks,
Gopi

I take it this isn't going to be a serious production system at the end of the day?
Storing metadata in tables for extraction and insertion of data is just wrong in so many ways. It smells heavily of Entity Attribute Value modelling, which is the most wrong way to use a relational database and is known to have major performance implications and be liable to bugs and issues. The idea that EAV modelling allows for 'generic' databases where new data items can be added flexibly later on without having to change code is usually justified with an excuse of "it means we don't have to update all our tables when we want a new column" which is easily countered with "if you're adding a single column a good relational design wouldn't require you to add it to more than one table anyway in most cases".
Just what exactly are you trying to do and why? There has to be a better way.

How to select even the column names of a table?

Hello All,
Is there a way to select even the column names of a table in the select statement?
My select from a table (say X) is in a SQL* Plus script that gets invoked by application tier and displays data in the application tier window. User's can then copy the data into a spreadsheet and do their processing. However, I need to give them the column names too along with the data.
Thanks,
Chiru

If there is a middle tier that is selecting and
displaying the data, and that's what the users are
copying from, the middle tier would have to address
its presentation of the data to allow users to
include column names. If this is a common task, the
application should probably be modified to give users
the option of downloading the data in a spreadsheet
directly rather than forcing them to copy and paste
data.Thanks for the reply.
The users don't have to copy paste. The application tier has an options in the "Tools" menu item which allows them to copy the entire output to a file (in my case a txt file which is a pipe delimited). Then they have to do text to columns to get the data into each column of the spreadsheet. I could have directly called the stored procedures from the application tier and created ".csv" files and FTP'd them to the user's folders. However, I am having to go this round about because, I am not getting enough support from the LAN team in FTP'ing etc.
OK I'll think of another workaround.
Thanks,
Chiru

How to read the column name of a table from sap system using C#?

Hi!!
I am using SAP .NET connector and creating a windows application.
Now I wanna read the column name when a table name is given....
Connection is done, but I don't know the code to read the column names alone...
Can anyone help me with the code??

fine!!
So if i give the table name, which the RFC_READ_TABLE function module have, will it run properly? or i wanna change all the codes in order to support RFC_READ_TABLE function module?
Because from the beginning I was using BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETLIST function, but my client requirement is to use ERP function module RFC_READ_TABLE, he didn't give any table name also..
This is my code: What I have to change in this???
ECCDestinationConfig ECCDestination = new ECCDestinationConfig();
            RfcDestinationManager.RegisterDestinationConfiguration(ECCDestination);
            RfcDestination rfcDest = null;
            rfcDest = RfcDestinationManager.GetDestination(a);
                RfcRepository repo = rfcDest.Repository;
                IRfcFunction customerList = repo.CreateFunction("BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETLIST");
                IRfcTable addressData = customerList.GetTable("AddressTable"));
                int j = addressData.Metadata.LineType.FieldCount;
                for (int i = 0; i < j; i++)
                    RfcElementMetadata metadata = addressData.GetElementMetadata(i);
                    listallcolumn.Items.Add(metadata.Name);

How to change the column name as bold in adf table

Hi,
How can I change the column name with bolder style and blue colour in adf Table?
I changed the color and font weight in af:column properties, but its effecting the data in that column but not with the column Header Text property.(i have given column name in header text).
can any one have any idea how to do this?
and I have taken panel tabbed layout and in that i'm displaying this table.
but this table has scroll beneath of it to show all columns.
but i want to display all columns (for this, page should have scroll at the bottom side).
how can I achieve this???

Hi,
Add the following CSS Code to the custom skin css file that is to be created as per the suggestions above.
*af|column::column-header-cell{*
color:Blue;
font-weight:bold;
This would ensure that all the table column headers are blue in color and bolder font style through-out the application.
By the way, what version of JDeveloper are you using?
Thanks,
Navaneeth

The column name "PERNR" has two meanings. ABAP/4 Open SQL statement.

Hi All,
Could anyone advise on what are the error I encountered at below code.
I get the error in " The column name "PERNR" has two meanings. ABAP/4 Open SQL statement." . This errors happen to all the key fields I have selected in below code (eg: pernr, subty, objps, sprps, begda, endda, seqnr).
The field zeih also encountered error in "Unknown column name "ZEIH". not determined until runtime, you cannot specify a field list."
SELECT pernr
               subty
               objps
               sprps
               begda
               endda
              seqnr
              zlsch
              ZEIH
SELECT * INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS
          OF TABLE i_pa0009
          FROM pa0001 INNER JOIN pa0009
          ON pa0001pernr = pa0009pernr
          WHERE bukrs IN s_code AND
          banks NE space.

Hi,
In this query
SELECT pernr
subty
objps
sprps
begda
endda
seqnr
zlsch
ZEIH
if you have used joins and if both the database pa0001, pa0009 has the above mentioned fields you will get the error message as the control gets confused as to which table of the field you are referring to..., instead use them in this way
SELECT pa0001~pernr
for each field mention to which table it belongs and ~ before the field name in the above fashion, this will remove the error

If variable name is the same as the column name in procedure ?

If variable name is the same as the column name in procedure , What should i do?
For Example :
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "TEST_PROC" (MIN_SALARY in UMBER)
as
begin
INSERT INTO TEST SELECT JOB_ID,MIN_SALARY FROM JOBS WHERE MIN_SALARY = MIN_SALARY;
end;

You could follow a better naming convention and have the parameters to the procedures named in a way so as not to be confused with column names.
You could prefix the variable names with the name of the procedure they appear in but then what if your have procedure names same as table names?
SQL> create or replace procedure test_proc(sal in number) is
2    cnt number ;
3 begin
4    select count(*) into cnt from scott.emp where scott.emp.sal = test_proc.sal ;
5    dbms_output.put_line('cnt='||cnt) ;
6 end ;
7 /
Procedure created.
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> exec test_proc(800) ;
cnt=1
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL>If you search you can find several posts here itself on naming convention to avoid such issues in first place.

Get the column names of a query (in own plugin)

Hi,
I'm developing my first plugin. It is a region plugin where the plugin-user passes a sql query as the source that the plugin will turn into a formated report.
I found how to retreive the query result by using APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.GET_DATA functions. Since it is an array, it is simple to cycle through the data rows. But how can i figure out
1) how many columns the query returns
2) whats the name of the columns is?
Thanks a lot in advance for any hint...
Cheers, Hans

Hi Hans,
the package APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL provides everything you need. No need to do your own DBMS_SQL handling!
Have a look at the API documentation and the example of GET_DATA at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/apex_plugin_util.htm#BABFBIJD
The t_column_value_list record type is a two dimensional array defined as
type t_column_value_list is table of wwv_flow_global.vc_arr2 index by pls_integer;The first array contains an entry for each column.
l_column_value_list.COUNTcan be used to get the number of columns.
l_column_value_list(1).COUNTcan be used to get the number of rows. An example to iterate over all columns and rows:
for l_column in 1 .. l_column_value_list.count loop
    for l_row in 1 .. l_column_value_list(l_column).count loop
        sys.htp.p('column#=' || l_column || ' row=' || l_row || ' value: ' || l_column_value_list(l_column)(l_row));
    end loop;
end loop;If you need the name of the columns and maybe the original data type and not everything converted to VARCHAR2 you have to use the more sophisticated GET_DATA2. See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/apex_plugin_util.htm#BABFJHAI
This function returns the record type t_column_value_list2 which is defined as
type t_value is record (
    varchar2_value      varchar2(32767),
    number_value        number,
    date_value          date,
    timestamp_value     timestamp,
    timestamp_tz_value timestamp with time zone,
    timestamp_ltz_value timestamp with local time zone,
    interval_y2m_value interval year to month,
    interval_d2s_value interval day to second,
    blob_value          blob,
    bfile_value         bfile,
    clob_value          clob );
type t_value_list is table of t_value index by pls_integer;
type t_column_values is record (
    name       varchar2(32767),
    data_type varchar2(20), /* use c_data_type_* constants to compare */
    value_list t_value_list );
type t_column_value_list2 is table of t_column_values         index by pls_integer;Again, it's some kind of two dimensional array. The first dimensions are the columns. But this time you also get some details of the parsed column. For example:
for l_column in 1 .. l_column_value_list2.COUNT loop
    sys.htp.p('Column Name: ' || l_column_value_list2(l_column).name || ' Data Type: ' || l_column_value_list2(l_column).data_type );
end loop;Will return you all the columns of the SQL statement. Using "name" and "data_type" you can get the column name and the data type. To access the values you can use
for l_column in 1 .. l_column_value_list2.COUNT loop
    sys.htp.p('Column Name: ' || l_column_value_list2(l_column).name || ' Data Type: ' || l_column_value_list2(l_column).data_type );
    for l_rows in 1 .. l_column_value_list2(l_column).value_list.COUNT loop
        sys.htp.p(
            'row=' || l_row || ' value: ' ||
            apex_plugin_util.get_value_as_varchar2 (
                p_data_type => l_column_value_list2(l_column).data_type,
                p_value     => l_column_value_list2(l_column).value_list(l_row) );
    end loop;
end loop;I used apex_plugin_util.get_value_as_varchar2 to always get a VARCHAR2, independent of the actual data type of the column. If you need the original data type, use "number_value", ... of the t_value record type.
Hope that gives you a direction
Patrick

Changing the column names displayed via an ODBC driver

Hi we are just starting to used Crystal Reports to improve the reporting capabaility of a legacy application, we can access the data fine using an ODBC driver. What we want to do is change the column names that are displayed within Crystal Reports so they are more user friendly and not in techno speak,, so that the users can create their own reports. Do we need to used Business Objects to setup a Universe to do this, is their a simple cheaper method sorry if this post is in the wrong section

Can you set up "views" in your database?Â That would probably be the easiest way to do this.

Is there any other ways?
Pls advise

Data Dictionary table user_tab_columns has all the column names. You can query that and get what ever you want.
To get the column list of a table just query

ADO Error: 0x00000001 Argument error. One of the column names specified is blank.

I am writing a database program and have come across this error -
ADO Error: 0x00000001
Argument error. One of the column names specified is blank.
I have tried everything I can think of and have no idea what to try next.
The VI that the error is occuring in (attached written in LV 2011) allows the user to enter in the details of a new user. It then looks up this user to get the ID (primary key) of the user which will be used in another step of the program. The VI writes to the database fine but then comes back with the above error when using the SELECT query. All columns in the database have data in them. Also when i use a differnt VI that just looks up the user/customer it works fine.
I have tried deleting all the code and copying the code from the simpler (look up only) VI but I still get the same error.
I created an indicator for the concatenated text to make sure the query was right and it appears to be fine. So now I am stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The query "appears" fine. Well, obviously it isnt' fine. The database is telling you that.
What is the SELECT query you are sending?

What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro (it has been taken out of the computer) to my new macbook pro? I need to transfer files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.
