Why does Oracle SQL query returning a date field without the time component
Hi,
I'm a novice SQL user & hv just installed Oracle SQL developer (Version 3.0.04, Build MAIN-04.34).
I made the same SQL query using "Oracle SQL developer" & "TOAD for Oracle 9.0.1" but I got 2 different format on the same date field:
On TOAD, I get the date field extracted as *04/26/2011 23:12:58*
On Oracle, I get the date field extracted as *26/APR/11*
Why is the Oracle result in a different format & missing the time component?
Is there any option/preference that I need to set in Oracle SQL developer to get the full date/time format displayed?
I've tried to set my the date format to DD/MON/RR HH12:MI:SSXFF AM under the preference -> database NLS but I still get the same format!
Plse help!

I have Elements 11. Sometimes, if I edit a photo in Elements Editor, the date gets changed to the current date. Why does that happen? It doesn't happen all the time, so I can't isolate the cause. Any ideas?

[Forum FAQ] How do I have Invoke-SqlCmd return a date value without adding time
Introduction
A select statement executed from Invoke-SqlCmd returns a value from a Date column, the value has "12:00:00 AM" appended. The same select statement executed within SQL Server Management Studio displays the date properly without any time formatting.
Sample data is as follows:
How to have Invoke-SqlCmd return Date values without adding time for multiple Date type columns and pipe the output into CSV file?
Solution
In SQL Server 2012 or onwards, use the FORMAT() function to convert datetime values to date format when executing query from Invoke-SqlCmd. In earlier versions such as SQL Server 2008 R2, use the traditional CONVERT() function to format datetime values to
different date formats(yyyy.mm.dd, mm/dd/yyyy, etc) when executing query from Invoke-SqlCmd. Then pipe the output of SQL query result into CSV file by specifying export-csv parameter. An example is as follows.
Create a table named “Test_invokesqlcmd” that contains Date type columns in SQL Server.
USE Test
Go
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Test_invokesqlcmd](
[id] [int] NOT NULL,
[name] [varchar](20) NULL,
[test1] [date] NULL,
[test2] [date] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
insert into [dbo].[Test_invokesqlcmd]
values(1,'David','2014-10-15','2015-01-07'),(2,'Jane','2011-08-05','2012-11-7'),(3,'Crystal','2013-09-15','2010-02-24')
Define a query string, execute it from Invoke-SqlCmd and save the query result to a CSV file.
Scripts for SQL Server 2012:
$query1 = @"
use Test;
SELECT FORMAT(test1,'d') as newtest1, FORMAT(test2,'d') as newtest2 from dbo.Test_invokesqlcmd
write-host $query1
Invoke-Sqlcmd -Query $query1 -ServerInstance localhost | export-csv -notypeinformation -path c:\Files\test.csv
Scripts for SQL Server 2008 R2:
$query2 = @"
Use Test;
SELECT CONVERT(varchar, test1, 102) as newtest1,CONVERT(varchar, test2, 102) as newtest2
FROM dbo. Test_invokesqlcmd
write-host $query2
Invoke-Sqlcmd -Query $query2 -ServerInstance localhost | export-csv -notypeinformation -path c:\Files\test.csv
Check the results in SQL Server PowerShell window and csv file.

Why does my Safari Auto-Fill only work part of the time?
First of all, why isn't there a link on the Apple website to provide Feedback? Secondly, I'd love to know why my Safari Auto-Fill only works some of the time, like when entering Sweepstakes information. I realize some websites don't allow Auto-Fill, but on the ones that do, I can't get the second window to open up when I click "Auto-Fill".
Safari 6.1.1 and yes all web forms are checked under Preferences Auto-Fill. I am daily entering sweepstakes for the HGTV dream home, and even though the initial bubble shows up "Auto-Fill your contact information" shows up, when I click on it, the second bubble that lets you confirm the info doesn't always open. I tried it just now in a separate tab, and it opened; then I came back here to write some of the message. Then I went back to try again and it won't open. It drives me crazy. I keep trying with each new data field and sometimes the second bubble will open further down the page.

Oracle SQl query to find date range based on another cloumn value
Hi Folks,
I want to extract records for the employees who have consecutive vacation/leave from a table. If an emp has vacation of 3 days (MON-WED), the table contains 3 distinct records for him,
e.g. My table contains records as shown below.
EmpName Paycode ApplyDate Amt. of Hrs
emp1 vacation 5/1/2010 8
emp1 vacation 5/2/2010 8
emp1 vacation 5/3/2010 8
I am trying to get the output like this...
Emp Name Paycode Leave Start Date Leave End Date TotalHrs
emp1 vacation 5/1/2010 5/3/2010 24
Note: If the smae emp has sets of vacation in another month, that should come as a separate record with start date and end date(last date of vacation for that set).
I have a query which does not return any rows. Any help to repair this query or any better one would be of great help.
==================================================================

How to write a sql query to retrieve data entered in the past 2 weeks
Hi,
I have file names and last accessed date(java.sql.Date format) stored in my database table, I would like to know how I can write a query to get the name of files accessed in the past 2 weeks,I use open sql server at the back end.
Thanks in advance.This has essentially nothing to do with JDBC. JDBC is just an API to execute the SQL language using Java and thus interact with the databases.
Your problem is related to the SQL language, you don't know how to write the SQL language. I suggest you to go through a SQL tutorial (there is one at w3schools.com) and to read the SQL documentation which come along with the database in question. A decent database manfacturer has a website and probably also a discussion forum / mailinglist as well.
I'll give you a hint: you can just use equality operators in SQL like everywhere. For example: "WHERE date < somedate". -
Get Numbers to display TODAY date but without the time
I have these old excel sheets that you have to constantly fill in the date for the previous week, but I saw that Numbers does this
=TODAY()-4 to give me a real date in the past!
But now I don't know how to get rid of the hours or time that appears as well.
This is all of my two minute journey into numbers today so I am still wetfoot, but ikes is it neat and fast that I got this far alreadyHello
I'm a bit surprised.
NOW() returns the current date_time but TODAY() returns only the current date.
So, if you didn't force an other format before inserting the formula,
a cell containing = TODAY() defaults to
date : xxxxxxx
time : NONE
It's the same if the cell contains = TODAY()-4

How To Customise Firefox to Print the Date without the Time (Date/Time in Printing Defaults)?
When printing within Firefox, what is the custom print option to print the date (e.g. 06/06/2010) without the date appearing after it (i.e. NOT 06/06/2010 11:15)?
Note: even when the custom print option of "&D" is used, the time still appears...As far as I can tell, there's no built-in option to get the date printed without the time. It's hardcoded in a C++ file.
As a workaround, you can enter custom text for the footer, but it would need to be updated every time the date changed. I can think of a couple ways to automate that:
* An add-on (but I'm not aware of any add-on for this)
* External process to push a new date into prefs.js, a settings file that stores your header/footer preferences, among others (but Firefox should be closed when you update this file, and it will be read when you restart)
Not easy enough, I know. -

Why does not my query use an index?
I have a table with some processed rows (state: 9) and some unprocessed rows (states: 0,1,2,3,4).
This table has over 120000 rows, but this number will grow.
Most of the rows are processed and most of them also contain a group id. Number of groups is relatively small (let's assume 20).
I would like to obtain the oldest some_date for every group. This values has to be outer joined to a on-line report (contains one row for each group).
Here is my set-up:
Tested on: 10.2.0.4 (Solaris), 10.2.0.1 (WinXp)
drop table t purge;
create table t(
id number not null primary key,
grp_id number,
state number,
some_date date,
pad char(200)
insert into t(id, grp_id, state, some_date, pad)
select level,
trunc(dbms_random.value(0,20)),
9,
sysdate+dbms_random.value(1,100),
'x'
from dual
connect by level <= 120000;
insert into t(id, grp_id, state, some_date, pad)
select level + 120000,
trunc(dbms_random.value(0,20)),
trunc(dbms_random.value(0,5)),
sysdate+dbms_random.value(1,100),
'x'
from dual
connect by level <= 2000;
commit;
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user, 'T', estimate_percent=>100, method_opt=>'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE 1');
Tom Kyte's printtab
==============================
TABLE_NAME : T
NUM_ROWS : 122000
BLOCKS : 3834I know, this could be easily solved by fast refresh on commit materialized view like this:
select
grp_id,
min(some_date),
from
t
where
state in (0,1,2,3,4)
grpup by
grp_id;+ I have to create log on (grp_id, some_date, state)
Number of rows with active state will be always relatively small. Let's assume 1000-2000.
So my another idea was to create a selective index. An index which would contain only data for rows with an active state.
Something like this:
create index fidx_active on t (
case state
when 0 then grp_id
when 1 then grp_id
when 2 then grp_id
when 3 then grp_id
when 4 then grp_id
end,
case state
when 0 then some_date
when 1 then some_date
when 2 then some_date
when 3 then some_date
when 4 then some_date
end) compress 1; so a tuple (group_id, some_date) is projected to tuple (null, null) when the state is not an active state and therefore it is not indexed.
We can save even more space by compressing 1st expression.
analyze index idx_grp_state_date validate structure;
select * from index_stats
@pr
Tom Kyte's printtab
==============================
HEIGHT : 2
BLOCKS : 16
NAME : FIDX_ACTIV
LF_ROWS : 2000 <-- we're indexing only active rows
LF_BLKS : 6 <-- small index: 1 root block with 6 leaf blocks
BR_ROWS : 5
BR_BLKS : 1
DISTINCT_KEYS : 2000
PCT_USED : 69
PRE_ROWS : 25
PRE_ROWS_LEN : 224
OPT_CMPR_COUNT : 1
OPT_CMPR_PCTSAVE : 0Note: @pr is a Tom Kyte's print table script adopted by Tanel Poder (I'm using Tanel's library) .
Then I created a query to be outer joined to the report (report contains a row for every group).
I want to achieve a full scan of the index.
select
case state -- 1st expression
when 0 then grp_id
when 1 then grp_id
when 2 then grp_id
when 3 then grp_id
when 4 then grp_id
end grp_id,
min(case state --second expression
when 0 then some_date
when 1 then some_date
when 2 then some_date
when 3 then some_date
when 4 then some_date
end) as mintime
from t
where
case state --1st expression: at least one index column has to be not null
when 0 then grp_id
when 1 then grp_id
when 2 then grp_id
when 3 then grp_id
when 4 then grp_id
end is not null
group by
case state --1st expression
when 0 then grp_id
when 1 then grp_id
when 2 then grp_id
when 3 then grp_id
when 4 then grp_id
end;-------------
Doc's snippet:
13.5.3.6 Full Scans
A full scan is available if a predicate references one of the columns in the index. The predicate does not need to be an index driver. A full scan is also available when there is no predicate, if both the following conditions are met:
All of the columns in the table referenced in the query are included in the index.
At least one of the index columns is not null.
A full scan can be used to eliminate a sort operation, because the data is ordered by the index key. It reads the blocks singly.
13.5.3.7 Fast Full Index Scans
Fast full index scans are an alternative to a full table scan when the index contains all the columns that are needed for the query, and at least one column in the index key has the NOT NULL constraint. A fast full scan accesses the data in the index itself, without accessing the table. It cannot be used to eliminate a sort operation, because the data is not ordered by the index key. It reads the entire index using multiblock reads, unlike a full index scan, and can be parallelized.
You can specify fast full index scans with the initialization parameter OPTIMIZER_FEATURES_ENABLE or the INDEX_FFS hint. Fast full index scans cannot be performed against bitmap indexes.
A fast full scan is faster than a normal full index scan in that it can use multiblock I/O and can be parallelized just like a table scan.
So the question is: Why does oracle do a full table scan?
Everything needed is in the index and one expression is not null, but index (fast) full scan is not even considered by CBO (I did a 10053 trace)

2 - filter(CASE "STATE" WHEN 0 THEN "GRP_ID" WHEN 1 THEN "GRP_ID" WHEN 2
THEN "GRP_ID" WHEN 3 THEN "GRP_ID" WHEN 4 THEN "GRP_ID" END IS NOT NULL)Let's try some minimalistic examples. Firstly with no FBI.
create index idx_grp_id on t(grp_id);
select grp_id,
min(grp_id) min
from t
where grp_id is not null
group by grp_id;
| Id | Operation | Name | Starts | E-Rows | A-Rows | A-Time | Buffers | Reads |

Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
2 - filter("GRP_ID" IS NOT NULL)This kind of output I was expected to see with FBI. Index FFS was used although grp_id has no NOT NULL constraint.
Let's try a simple FBI.
create index fidx_grp_id on t(trunc(grp_id));
select trunc(grp_id),
min(trunc(grp_id)) min
from t
where trunc(grp_id) is not null
group by trunc(grp_id);

Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
2 - filter(TRUNC("GRP_ID") IS NOT NULL)Again, index (fast) full scan not even considered by CBO.
I tried:
alter table t modify grp_id not null;
alter table t add constraint trunc_not_null check (trunc(grp_id) is not null);I even tried to set table hidden column (SYS_NC00008$) to NOT NULL
It has no effect, FTS is still used..
Let's try another query:
select distinct trunc(grp_id)
from t
where trunc(grp_id) is not null
| Id | Operation | Name | Starts | E-Rows | A-Rows | A-Time | Buffers |
| 1 | HASH UNIQUE | | 1 | 20 | 20 |00:00:00.85 | 244 |
|* 2 | INDEX FAST FULL SCAN| FIDX_GRP_ID | 1 | 122K| 122K|00:00:00.49 | 244 |
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
2 - filter("T"."SYS_NC00008$" IS NOT NULL)Here the index FFS is used..
Let's try one more query, very similar to the above query:
select trunc(grp_id)
from t
where trunc(grp_id) is not null
group by trunc(grp_id)
| Id | Operation | Name | Starts | E-Rows | A-Rows | A-Time | Buffers |
| 1 | HASH GROUP BY | | 1 | 20 | 20 |00:00:00.86 | 3841 |
|* 2 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| T | 1 | 122K| 122K|00:00:00.49 | 3841 |
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
2 - filter(TRUNC("GRP_ID") IS NOT NULL)And again no index full scan..
So my next question is:
What are the restrictions which prevent index (fast) fullscan to be used in these scenarios?
Thank you very much for your answers.

It looks like the application of the MIN function against the case statement is confusing the optimizer and disallowing the usage of your FBI. I tested this against my 11.2.0.1 instance and your query chooses the fast full scan without being nudged in the right direction.
That being said, i was able to get this to use a fast full scan on my 10 instance, but i had to jiggle the wires a bit. I modified your original query slightly, just to make it easier to do my fiddling.

SQL Query returns values like "---" and "NA"
Hi
When I execute a sql query in MII it returns values like "---" and "NA" for empty Char and numeric fields respectively.
I have checked the database and made sure that these fields does not have any value. This happens only when I run the query through MII. Can any one know how can we get rid of these values?
Thanks in advance
ShajiShaji,
MII sets those values as a default if it discovers null values in a query result. You can change this default behaviour in several ways.
First, have a look at the document [Setting custom null values in XML|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70628af0-8ec4-2c10-7da2-f451e412dd8f?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]. Then you may also use SQL functions like [NVL|http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/functions/nvl.php] to change the value directly in the SQL query. You can also change the value inside the MII BLT to whatever you need.

DATE type returned from function does not return the time component
Hi,
I'm dealing with a strange problem. I have a PL/SQL function (running on Oracle 8.1.4.7) which returns a DATE value. Like we all know the DATE datatype includes a date component and a time component.
The function I used for testing is like this:
FUNCTION ReturnDate return Date is
dReturn Date;
Begin
select sysdate into dReturn from dual;
return dReturn;
end ReturnDate;
When I call this function from .NET using ODP.NET the date value I get does not have the time component included only the day-month-year components.
This is a code-snippet that calls the function :
command.CommandText="Schema.ReturnDate";
command.CommandType=CommandType.StoredProcedure;
command.Parameters.Add("Return_Value",
OracleDbType.Date,0,ParameterDirection.ReturnValue);
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
I use the OracleDbType.Date type which I think is the most logical choice, because the type in the Database is after all DATE.
However this does not include the time componet. But if I change the OracleDbType.Date to OracleDbType.TimeStamp I get the time component. I'm not happy with this "hack" because I'm not sure what will happen when we upgrade our version of the Database to Oracle 9i which uses the new TimeStamp datatype.
Is this a bug that the OracleDbType.Date does not include the time component??How do you examine the output Date value?
If it is from the string, then the time components will
not show because the NLS_DATE format in the client
machine does not contain the time components.
In American, the Date format is 'DD-MON-RR' by default whereas, the TimeStamp format is 'DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM' by default.
Can you take a look at the time components from the OracleDate by accessing the time properties, eg. OracleDate.Hour, OracleDate.Minute..etc to see if the time values are there?
Thanks

Hi all...
How does a SQL query basically work? Is there any pseudocode for it?
How ro calculate the cost of query?
Can we find out what would be the execution time for a query before it is executed?
Thanks in advance.
AmeyaHi Avinash,
Look closely mate!!!
You have done set autotrace on... meaning you are executing the statement while i am doing set autotrace traceonly explain meaning the statement would never get executed actually.. oracle optimizer will just select the desired plan and will show the output..
You can even ESTIMATE how many rows the qeury will return before even executing the statement using the same above tech.. i will show you how:
The explain plan gives this -- as long as you are using the CBO (cost based
optimizer). Doesn't matter if you have 1 or 50 tables. The last part of the
plan is the estimate output.
consider:
SQL> set autotrace traceonly explain
SQL> select e1.*, e2.* from emp e1, emp e2;
Execution Plan
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE (Cost=15 Card=196 Bytes=12544)
1 0 MERGE JOIN (CARTESIAN) (Cost=15 Card=196 Bytes=12544)
2 1 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'EMP' (Cost=1 Card=14 Bytes=448)
3 1 SORT (JOIN) (Cost=14 Card=14 Bytes=448)
4 3 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'EMP' (Cost=1 Card=14 Bytes=448)
196 = 14 * 14 -- thats right....
SQL> select emp.ename, mgr.ename from
2 emp, emp mgr
3 where emp.mgr = mgr.empno;
Execution Plan
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE (Cost=5 Card=13 Bytes=208)
1 0 MERGE JOIN (Cost=5 Card=13 Bytes=208)
2 1 SORT (JOIN) (Cost=3 Card=14 Bytes=112)
3 2 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'EMP' (Cost=1 Card=14 Bytes=112)
4 1 SORT (JOIN) (Cost=3 Card=14 Bytes=112)
5 4 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'EMP' (Cost=1 Card=14 Bytes=112)
Here is estimated that about 13 rows would be returned...
SQL> select count(*) from emp;
Execution Plan
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE (Cost=1 Card=1)
1 0 SORT (AGGREGATE)
2 1 INDEX (FULL SCAN) OF 'EMP_PK' (UNIQUE) (Cost=1 Card=14)
one row...
SQL> select ename, dname
2 from emp, dept where emp.deptno = dept.deptno;
Execution Plan
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE (Cost=5 Card=14 Bytes=252)
1 0 NESTED LOOPS (Cost=5 Card=14 Bytes=252)
2 1 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'DEPT' (Cost=1 Card=4 Bytes=44)
3 1 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'EMP' (Cost=1 Card=14 Bytes=98)
14 rows...
1 select ename, dname
2* from emp, dept where emp.deptno = dept.deptno and emp.ename like '%A%'
SQL> /
Execution Plan
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE (Cost=2 Card=1 Bytes=18)
1 0 NESTED LOOPS (Cost=2 Card=1 Bytes=18)
2 1 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'EMP' (Cost=1 Card=1 Bytes=7)
3 1 TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'DEPT' (Cost=1 Card=4 Bytes=44)
4 3 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'DEPT_IDX' (NON-UNIQUE)
1 rows.....
and this was all done without executing the query. See EXPLAIN plan and the
PLAN_TABLE. -
Sorting of Date field in the SQL Query useing ORDER BY
Hi
I am facing a problem when I am getting the results of a query from the ORacle 8i database using jdbc connection.
The query is having a date field and I have to sort the query results using ORDER By for the Date field. The query is giving exact results in the SQL PLus interface.
When I am getting this results in the GUI where servlets are being used an Exception is coming as not supported RefreshRow method.
If anyone has faced this problem and have got the solutions please let me know.
thanks
sulfyThat doesn't sound at all like an SQL problem.
More like you trying to do updates on the resultset which is not allowed ...
send a some code (not to much pls :) and we'll be
able to help more

Morning all,
I've just been assigned a report-related project but I have not created much of anything in C# or .Net before!
I was wondering if someone could help me get started. Here are the specifications:
Basically, I am to create an automated report application. I have the query and I will include it further down
in this post. The page is to have a couple blanks to specify the Start Date and End Date and replace those dates in the query, and generate the report. What I need some help on is how to make the SQL query work in the application which I will connect to the
intended database to generate the report (basic I know, but I'm new at this) on Visual Studio 2010. I also need some help on programming the Start Date blank and End Date blank so that what the user types in for those blanks will replace the date fields in
the SQL query, then generate the report with the new dates.
I appreciate the help!
The SQL query and what the dates are replacing:

Could you elaborate more on what this code does in general?
Does it generate a table with the data between specified dates? If so, where is the table shown?
Where does one enter in the specified start and end dates on the Web Application? Do I have to create start and end date blanks and link them to the code for it to work?
Sorry for the inconvenience - I'm just really new at this. Thanks!
