% wildcard operator

Hello all,
Plz tell me how to use % wildcard operator in JDBC iam using
MS-ACCESS as database.
iam using code like this
("select name from tname where name=?%")
but iam not getting the answer plz help me in solving this.
vidya.

String query = "select name from tname where
name=?";
PreparedStatement ps =
connection.prepareStatement(query);
String name = "value that you want to search for";
ps.setString(1, name + "%");
int numRowsAffected = ps.executeQuery();Terrible advice from me. I hadn't finished my coffee. Yes, this is a SELECT statement, so you have to iterate over the ResultSet. The last line of my snippet is correct for executeUpdate(). You are correct, sir. I apologize for the oversight.

How to include "any" or wildcard in the beginning of my search

Hello,
my customers have the need of using a wildcard operator in their searches in the beginning of a phrase.
For example when searching for "sharepoint" to also be able to search like "*repoi*".
From what I know KQL does not support wildcards in the beginning of a word.
Is there another way to work around this issue?
Thank you!

You cannot use wildcard before text in KQL.
Try to use FQL. Not sure if this will work but you can give it a try

Help using -replace with wildcard characters, specifically braces

Hello all,
Needing help in using -replace with literal wildcard characters, specifically the braces characters. From reading old posts online this seems to have been a notorious shortcoming of PowerShell, but not sure if it's been resolved or not. My simple
code tries to remove the braces as follows (would like to keep the foreach loop and everything as is if possible):
$string = "test[]"
$braces = @("``[","``]")
Foreach($brace in $braces){
If($string -like "*$brace*"){
$string = $string -replace ($brace,"")
write-host $string
This code gives an error at the -replace line, saying "The regular expression pattern `] is not valid." I'm not sure how to pass the literal brace characters to the -replace parameter? Can this be done?

-like is a wildcard operator (it recognized wildcard patterns like * ,? and [a-z].
For a regular expression you use the -match operator.
Wildcard patterns and regular expressions are not interchangeable.
See:
get-help about_wildcards
get-help about_regular_expressions
for an explanation and examples of each one, and
get-help about_comparison_operators
for examples of using -like and -match.

Mv command in Linux

OS: Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4
It is not the first time I used the mv command in Unix systems, but recently noticed some strange outcome in Linux.
That's why I though I would do some test, and now I wonder about the result. Is there something new or strange about the mv command in Enterprise Linux?
Test 1: mv renamed the file to * *.txt*. Does this mean wildcard operations are not possible anymore?
Test 2: Instead of overwriting the test directory, it moved test_test directory inside the existing test. Is this correct?

Created By F4 issue in opportunity search

Hi,
In opportunuty search we have search attribute as 'CREATED_BY'. This gives the user name who has created the opportunity.
For this field we have F4 help window and the logic is as follows in GET_DQUERY_VALUEHELPS:
when 'CREATED_BY'.
        <rs_result>-output_mapping-context_attr = 'CREATED_BY'.
        <rs_result>-output_mapping-f4_attr      = 'BNAME'.
        <rs_result>-help_id-help_id             = 'USER_ADDR'.
        <rs_result>-help_id-help_id_kind        = if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>help_id_kind_name.
Above ''USER_ADDR' is an elementary search help which is assigned for this field.
Now When we press F4 on the CREATED_BY field, we have First name and Last name fields on it. And user is able to search the user ids when he/she knows the exact first/last name.
We can use wildcard operator * on it, but our users are not used to using it as for other applications they have operators.
Now the requirement is to make the First name and last name by "Start With" as default parameter in BACK GROUND.
As I have mentioned above, our search help for CREATED_BY uses the ''USER_ADDR' search help and the search help has the first name and last name field.
Is there any way to make the 'STARTS WITH' parametr as default for FIRST NAME and LAST NAME field in BACK GROUND or if there is any other solution, please guide me.
Thanks.

You can use the suggest feature which is available in any airline website. You can type in 3 characters and you can get suggestions for the name based on first name or last name in your case.
This is easy to implement where you have fetch either all the data from the search help and filter based on your key word entered or fetch data from the search help based on filter parameters entered by the user. Basically you have to use 'CP' keyword in ABAP to filter out desired criteria.
Starts_with is just an extension of what I have mentioned.
It would be a customer delight if you can implement it like this.

Can javascript pass values to applet inside jar file?

I have an applet that receives the computer name selected via javascript and then resolves the name with the name server and returns any available ip addresses (via a browser). When running this applet unsigned, I can only resolve my own local machine and I get security exception errors(access denied) for any other computer selections (this would be expected).
I have created a jar file encompassing the class file and java file for this applet signing it with the designated signature. When using the jar file, the applet will start, but no names can be resolved (including the local machine) and there are no errors on the java console...(???)

Hey thanks for the response (seems that most responses
are gender specific around here :) )!No, they are not. Ask a good question (not "do my homework for me") and ask it specifically, and you will get good help whatever your gender. I am a girl; I make no attempt to hide this. I have always gotten good, solid advice from this forum without any reference to my gender, without any ascerbic remarks, without scorn from the respondant.
You are probably referring to the "girl needs som help" thread or other recent threads from girls (well maybe girls, who knows).
The content of these posts were:
1) asking to help with blatant cheating on homework
2) extremely vague
3) used the OPs gender as an excuse for 1) and/or 2)
Using your gender as an excuse for being unable to put code together and requesting help with cheating:
-implies girls are too stupid to do math, programming, engineering
-implies that girls who are in these fields are freaks/mutants/other
-implies that gender is an exucse for laziness
-implies that girls cannot think logically
-implies that girls do not have to follow rules of integrity, or that girls have no integrity
Such posts understandibly raise the ire of women software engineers who have worked hard to get where they are. (And also of male software engineers who can see through the request as a play on a stereotype)
It is akin to a girl coming to my office hours and saying "I have my mechanics final exam tomorrow, but I didn't study all semester because I'm a girl and math is too haaaaard"
Honestly, I would try to help the girl as much as I could, not because she's a girl, but because it is part of my duty, my responsibility, to help students.
But before I could do it, I would have to count to ten a few times to get my temper under control.

Case Insensitive Indexes

In relation to switching on case insensitive queries using
alter session set NLS_COMP=LINGUISTIC;Can anyone answer the following?
>
Yes, it works.... but I can't for the life of me figure out how to build a linguistic index that the LIKE clause will actually use. Building an index thus, for example:
create index bin_ai on names(NLSSORT("NAME",'nls_sort=''BINARY_AI'''));
makes an index which does get used to good effect by queries such as
select name from names where name = 'Johny Jacobson';
but not by
select name from names where name like 'Johny%';
Hence, in a real-world test with 100,000 records, the LIKE query runs about 100 times slower than the '=' query (3 sec compared to 0.03 sec). Not very scalable. Is there a way to speed this up??
Also is it possible to set session variables such as nls_comp on a database/schema/user level?

Hi,
select name from names where name like 'Johny%';Performance when using the SQL "like" clause can be tricky because the wildcard "%" operator can invalidate the index. For example a last_name index would be OK with a "like 'SMI%'" query, but unusable with "like '%SMI%'.
One obscure trick for indexing queries "like '%SON'" is to create a REVERSE index and them programmatically reverse the like clause to read "like 'NOS%'", effectively indexing on the other side of the text.
You might want to look at Oracle*text indexes, if your database has low DML:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_tips_like_sql_index.htm
If you are 10gr2:
Oracle 10g release 2 has now introduced a case insensitive search method for SQL that avoids index invalidation and unnecessary full-table scans. You can also employ Oracle text indexes to remove full-table scans when using the LIKE operator. Prior to Oracle10g release 2 case insensitive queries required special planning:
1 - Transform data in the query to make it case insensitive (note that this can invalidate indexes without a function-based index):
create index upper_full_name on customer ( upper(full_name));
select full_name from customer
where upper(full_name) = 'DON BURLESON';
2 - Use a trigger to transform the data to make it case insensitive (or store the data with the to_lower or to_upper BIF.
3 - Use Alter session commands:
alter session set NLS_COMP=ANSI;
alter session set NLS_SORT=GENERIC_BASELETTER;
select * from customer where full_name = 'Don Burleson'
Hope this helps. . .

An error occurred during swf generation

Hi I have a spread sheet has quite a lot of formulas in it,
eg..
=COUNTIF()
=COUNT($H$2:$H$65536)-COUNTIF($H:$H,"<51")-COUNTIF($H$2:$H$65536,">60")
=DCOUNTA($A$1:$L$15099,10,M38:N39)
=IF(V18=0,0,IF(V18=1,IF(W18=0,0,IF(W18=1,IF(X18=0,0,IF(X18=1,1))))))
=IF(SUM(V18:W18,$BD18)=3,1,0)
=SUMIF($L$2:$L$65536,BN6,$U$2:$U$65536)
=SUMIF($BC:$BC,$BS2,BE:BE)
all of which seem to be supported in xcelcius engage 2008 (sp3)
but when i try to preview the dash board I get the "an error occurred during swf generation and so on" error
I have checked all of my addins on excel and disabled them all,
I have checked to see if there is any blue tooth settings in the registry, (all seems ok (none))
Does xcelcius have limitations on file size? My file is 23,852KB
My calculations are based on a maximum of 15000 rows
I'm desperate for some kind of solution as this has now been driving me nuts for 5 days
Steve

DCountA does work! :
I had a similar issue with Xcelsius and DCOUNTA does work! NOTE: DCOUNTA does work, however, it doesnu2019t perform the same way that it does in Excel (which is very confusing). In my case, in excel when I left a criteria cell blank, it would basically omit that criteria. As if to say in SQL (Considering fields County, Industry and Class)
Select * From Table Where County = Wicomico, MD AND Industry = Retail
However, once compiled as an SWF it was as if it were saying:
Select * From Table Where County = Wicomico, MD AND Industry = Retail AND Class = u201Cu201D
Sou2026to make it work you must use the WILDCARD Operator * in the criteria cell to indicate ALL.
Select * From Table Where County = Wicomico, MD AND Industry = Retail AND Class = *
And it worksu2026
See a modified example dashboard of the difference between * and u201Cu201D at: http://staff.salisbury.edu/~jrgarrity/dcounta.swf

Tuning request

I have a query that takes 7 seconds to complete and I want to speed it up by tuning. Any suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks,
Griff
Features of the query:
* All the columns used in the where clause of the select statement have indexes except one CLOB. (A CLOB cannot have an index.)
* The CLOB column is called “text” and is lowered and searched: lower(text) like '%<search_string>%'
* The select statement orders the query, causing a sort.
* The table in the select statement has about 75,000 rows.

Hi Griff,
You can remove the full-table scan with a %like% with text indexes, but there is overhead. Indexing when using the SQL "like" clause can be tricky because the wildcard "%" operator can invalidate the index. For example a last_name index would be OK with a "like 'SMI%'" query, but unusable with "like '%SMI%'.
One obscure trick for indexing queries "like '%SON'" is to create a REVERSE index and them programmatically reverse the like clause to read "like 'NOS%'", effectively indexing on the other side of the text.
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_sql_like_clause_index_usage.htm
The Oracle*Text utility (formally called Oracle ConText and Oracle Intermedia) allows us to parse through a large text column and index on the words within the column.
Unlike ordinary b-tree or bitmap indexes, Oracle context, ctxcat and ctxrule indexes are NOT updated as content is changed. Since most standard Oracle databases will use the ctxcat index with standard relational tables, you must decide on a refresh interval.
Hence, Oracle Text indexes are only useful for removing full-table scans when the tables are largely read-only and/or the end-users don’t mind not having 100% search recall:
- The target table is relatively static (e.g. nightly batch updates)
- Your end-users would not mind “missing” the latest row data
Oracle Text works with traditional data columns and also with XML, MS-Word docs and Adobe PDF files that are stored within Oracle. Oracle Text has several index types:
- CTXCAT Indexes - A CTXCAT index is best for smaller text fragments that must be indexed along with other standard relational data (VARCHAR2).
WHERE CATSEARCH(text_column, 'ipod')> 0;
- CONTEXT Indexes - The CONTEXT index type is used to index large amounts of text such as Word, PDF, XML, HTML or plain text documents.
WHERE CONTAINS(test_column, 'ipod', 1) > 0
- CTXRULE Indexes - A CTXRULE index can be used to build document classification applications.
These types of indexes allow you to replace the old-fashioned SQL “LIKE” syntax with “CONTAINS” or “CATSEARCH” SQL syntax:

Critical Roles & RAR Background Jobs Question

Hello,
I have the following queries, related to GRC AC 5.3 RAR.
1- I would like to include all roles starting with S* into critical roles.
My question is can I say S* in critical roles, OR do I have to manually enter each & every role starting with S* (Please note that currently we have around hundreds of roles starting with S and entering each of them manually is a tedious task).
2- We have several background jobs scheduled in RAR and when I click search button, I get a list of around 600 jobs executed in the past few months.
My question is can I purge the background jobs history in such a way that, when I click "SEARCH" button, I get only those background jobs, which have been executed in the past 1 week?
Thanks,
Haleem

Hi Varun,
I created message with SAP in the component GRC-SAC-SCC and below is the response.
Dear Customer,
You have to manually enter each & every role in critical roles section and the exclude objects in management report section.
SAP GRC AC 5.3 SP11 does not support wildcard operations in critical roles/ profiles and exclude objects of management reports. We will support the wildcard in future SAP Versions of GRC.
Thanks
Based on the above message, I understand that I will have to enter all the roles manually for critical roles in critical roles section of RAR -> rule architect and exclude objects of management report section.
Thanks,
Haleem

Surname, first name in GAL

Dear beekeepers,
Outlook has an option to present all entries in the address book formatted like "surname, first name".
Can the GAL (global address list) be configured accordingly?
Regards, Thomas

David,
also found nothing regarding gal displayname configuration in the
admin guide.
Regarding searches in Zimbra gal: we also have an SR open, where we
describe the problem as follows:
finding users in the gal via zimbra works, but if the user wants to
search for surname, he needs to wildcard it using the percentage
sign.
Here is a gal entry:
beehive@garamond:~> beectl list_users --email [email protected]
Display Record: 1
===========================================
User Identifier: user=ulasch
Family Name: Ulasch
Given Name: Gerda
Addresses
=============
Type: BUSINESS_1
Value: im:[email protected]
Type: BUSINESS_1
Value: mailto:[email protected]
Parent Identifier: enpr=emb
When a Zimbra user wants to adress this user using the surname
(Ulasch) in the gal, he needs to enter "%ulasch" in the search
dialogue.
This is sub-optimal in terms of usability: a substring search
should be default. At least the wildcard operator should be an
asterisk.
Regards, Thomas

Regular expressions for file/FTP transport within OSB. How?

The OSB transport/polling guides say for the FILE, FTP and SFTP transports that the "File Mask" can be a Regular Expression but I can't get it to pick up files this way. Is there some trick to enabling regular expression mode or some strange syntax required?
For example I set up a very simple pattern of [A-Z]+ which should match any filename with one or more uppercase alphabetic characters only, but it does not pick up anything. It seems only to support the usual wildcard * operator in the non-regular expression mode.
Any help much appreciated.

Good point, but if you think about this description, you have to realize it just doesn't make sense. Again ...
Enter a regular expression to select the files that you want to pick from the directory. The default value is \*.*The problem is that \*.* is not a regular expression at all. :-)
1. The documentation is a mess in this particular point.
2. FTP servers (at least those I have experienced) don't have a support for regular expressions.
So I guess you can use only wildcards and not regular expressions with FTP transport.

If I check in a document with "A,B" do you want the A and B workflows to be chained?
To do this,
1) get the docs into a master "traffic cop" workflow with a generic entry step (e.g. all docs with any non null value in xMyMultiSelect - use the wildcard operator for that criteria)
2) in the entry event of step 1 parse the value of xMyMultiSelect and put the chain into a companion file string - <$wfSet("thisWorkflowSet", xMyMultiSelect)$>
3) create a jump into the first step of the first workflow selected AND make sure to have a return step to your master workflow.
4) each time you come back to your master workflow, read the next value in your companion file and jump into that workflow until you're done.
You are basically turning each workflow for your multi select list into a sub-workflow and chaining them together. This is very similar to how dynamic routing works. The only difference is that instead of users picking the next step a each stage along the way, the author is picking the step sequence via your multi select list at checkin time.
hope this helps.

How to use wildcard in filename , in SyncRead operation in File Adapter.

Hi All,
Is this possible to use wildcard character in file name while creating file adapter for SyncRead Operation.
I used write*.txt as a file name to read. But got below error -->
file:/C:/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/bpel/domains/default/tmp/.bpel_notification2_1.0_93d419d1ca67f87872914bf6daf16180.tmp/readfile3.wsdl [ SynchRead_ptt::SynchRead(Empty,Es) ] - WSIF JCA Execute of operation 'SynchRead' failed due to: No file to process.
File d:\temp\temp1\write*.txt to be processed was not found or not available
; nested exception is:
ORABPEL-11007
No file to process.
File d:\temp\temp1\write*.txt to be processed was not found or not available
Check the error stack and fix the cause of the error. Contact oracle support if error is not fixable.
Best Regards
Vikash

You cannot defined the wildcard for the file names. But you can provide the file name dynamically if you are on soa suite 10.1.3.4 minimum. You can get information about that in this link http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12524_01/relnotes.1013/e12523/adapters.htm#CHDBBFBD
