While inserting numeric data into a character datatype field and vice versa

Sir,
    I have a very basic qiestion.Why am i not getting any error while inserting to say employees table a character type data to a numeric type field and vice versa?Iam using Oracle Database 10g Enterprise edition.

Why am i not getting any error while inserting to say employees table a character type data to a numeric type field and vice versa?
Oracle tries an automatic conversion, when possible. Post an example of a character type data inserted into a numeric column.

  • How to convert ascii value into character and vice versa

    Hello the java world people,
    I want to convert each characters from my array into their corespondent ascii value and vice versa, how can I do that ?

    The term "ASCII" is often used very loosely.
    Java char values are UNICODE and the ASCII codes are indentical to UNICODE characters in the range 0 .. 127. UNICODE values 128 and above don't have coresponding ASCII values, though 128-255 corespond to ISO-8859-1 which is one of the encodings often called "extended ASCII".
    As shown above you can covert between chars and coresponding int value simply with a cast, but you should be aware that the more exotic characters will not give you sensible values.

    Can you try SDO_GEOM.VALIDATE_GEOMETRY_WITH_CONTEXT
    or SDO_GEOM.VALIDATE_LAYER_WITH_CONTEXT? e.g.
    select * from base_sdo a where
    SDO_GEOM.VALIDATE_GEOMETRY_WITH_CONTEXT(a.CA, 0.000005) != 'TRUE';

  • Custom PL/SQL API that inserts the data into a custom interface table.

    We are developing a custom Web ADI integrator for importing suppliers into Oracle.
    The Web ADI interface is a custom PL/SQL API that inserts the data into a custom interface table. We have defined the content, uploader and an importer. The importer is again a custom PL/SQL API that will process the records inserted into the custom table and updates the STATUS column of the custom interface table. We want to show the status column back on the spreadsheet.
    Defined the 'Document Row' import rule and added the rows that would identify the unique record.
    Errored row import rule, we are using a SELECT * from custom_table where status<>'Success' and vendor_name=$param$.vendor_name
    The source of this parameter is import.vendor_name
    We have also defined an Error lookup.
    After the above setup is completed, we invoke the create document and click on Oracle->Upload.
    The records are getting imported, but the importer program is failing with An error has occurred while running an API import. The ERRORED_ROWS step 20003:ER_500141, parameter number 1 must contain the value BIND in attribute 1.'

  • Insert the data into two tables at a time.

    Hi ,
    i have these two tables

    alter table [dbo].[test2] add constraint [fk_test2_test2_id] foreign key([test1_id])
    references [dbo].[test1] ([test1_id])
    I want to insert the data into two tables in one insert statement. How can i do this using T-SQL ?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can INSERT into both tables within one Transaction but not in one statement. By the way, you would need to alter your dbo.Test1 table to allow null for first INSERT test2_id column
    See sample code below:
    CREATE TABLE #test1(test1_ID INT IDENTITY(1,1),test2_id INT NULL)
    CREATE TABLE #test2(test2_ID INT IDENTITY(1,1),test1_ID INT)
    DECLARE @Test1dentity INT
    DECLARE @Test2dentity INT
    BEGIN TRAN
    -- Insert NULL as test2_ID value is unknown
    INSERT INTO #test1(test2_ID)
    SELECT NULL;
    -- get inserted identity value
    SET @Test1dentity = SCOPE_IDENTITY();
    INSERT INTO #test2(test1_ID)
    SELECT @Test1dentity;
    -- get inserted identity value
    SET @Test2dentity = SCOPE_IDENTITY();
    -- Update test1 table
    UPDATE #test1
    SET test2_ID = @Test2dentity
    WHERE test1_ID = @Test1dentity;
    COMMIT
    SELECT * FROM #test1;
    SELECT * FROM #test2;
    -- Drop temp tables
    IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#test1') IS NOT NULL
    BEGIN
    DROP TABLE #test1
    END
    IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#test2') IS NOT NULL
    BEGIN
    DROP TABLE #test2
    END
