• convert the varchar2 data type to the data number type

  How to convert the varchar2 data type to the data type number.

  I need to create a table with the same columns with data like number types (19)
  
  can someone help me
  
  Thank you

  You have changed your original post, so now I see that you get the invalid number.

  This is why you should always avoid the varchar columns to store numbers or dates...

  Since your table source contains a nonnumeric value, you can write a pl/sql to convert data and see what records are false:

  SQL> insert into a (col1,col2) values ('xxxx','2345');
  
  1 row created.
  
  SQL> select * from a;
  
  COL1     COL2
  -------- --------
  1234     2345
  xxxx     2345
  
  2 rows selected.
  
  SQL> create table b (col1 number(19), col2 number(19));
  
  Table created.
  
  SQL> set serverout on
  
  SQL> declare
    2  cursor c is
    3  select * from a;
    4  begin
    5    for r in c loop
    6     begin
    7       insert into b values (to_number(r.col1), to_number(r.col2));
    8     exception
    9       when invalid_number then
   10        dbms_output.put_line('Row rejected: col1='||r.col1||' col2='||r.col2);
   11     end;
   12    end loop;
   13  end;
   14  /
  Row rejected: col1=xxxx col2=2345
  
  PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
  
  SQL> select * from b;
  
        COL1       COL2
  ---------- ----------

• Convert a varchar2 data type Date

  Hi guys,.
  
  Can someone help me convert a Varchar2 data type in the data type Date?
  
  I have a query and my column is a varchar2 data type.
  I want to just that convert the Varchar2 in a DATE, because I met
  problem in my query. I want to do the day1 day10 transaction.
  
  Ex:
  Day 1 = January 1, 2010
  Day10 = January 10, 2010
  
  table.record_date varchar2 (12)
  
  SELECT column1, Column2
  table
  where record_date between? and?
  
  How can I set the record_date between day1 and day10 since record_date is of type varchar?
  
  Thank you.
  
  Laetitia

  Lala,

  If the data in the database are in the format MM-DD-RR , then you must use the same format when you convert back to this day.

  So change the query to

  SELECT COLUMN1, COLUMN2 FROM TABLE WHERE TO_DATE(RECORD_DATE, 'MM-DD-RR') BETWEEN TO_DATE('01-JAN-2010') AND TO_DATE('10-JAN-2010')
  

  Kind regards

• Change the setting from VarChar2 to the CLOB

  Hello
  
  I have a csvToArray function which takes a csv string and converts it to an array.
  
  PROCEDURE csvToArray (p_csvString IN VarChar2,
  p_count ON PLS_INTEGER,
  p_array OUT ARRAY_T) IS...
  
  Unfortunately, the size of the csvString passed in exceeds 32K, so I thought to change the csvString from Varchar2 to CLOB type, i.e.
  
  PROCEDURE csvToArray (p_csvString IN CLOB,
  p_count ON PLS_INTEGER,
  p_array OUT ARRAY_T) IS...
  
  The procedure uses only the string substr and instr functions to search for items in the csv string to put in a table.
  
  I tested the change and it works, but I should consider with the change to the data type, or will that always precedes work properly? Extreme max of p_csvString size would be around 150 K.
  
  Version of database is 10.2.0.4.0
  
  
  Thank you

  Since you're on 10.2, SUBSTR and INSTR functions were overcrowded to handle the CLOB, then you should be fine.

• How to change the number of items in number to Boolean, function VI table

  Hi, I'm working on using the digital output of data acquisition to control the digital input of a DAC, and I used the Number function in Boolean table. VI to convert the number to a Boolean array. The maximum number is 4096, so it must be composed of 12 elements.

  For the description of the VI, it is said that Boolean matrix returns a table of 8, 16, 32 or 64 elements, according to the number of bytes in the whole. Therefore, I change the number of channels in the task to 16, but it still does not work. The suggesitions are greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Possible reasons:

  Scripture cannot be performed because the number of data channels does not match number of channels in the task.

  When writing, provide data for all channels in the task. You can also change the task so that it contains the same number of channels as the written data.

  Number of job channels: 12
  Number of data channels : 32

  Task name: _unnamedTask<1B>

  Once you have the array of Boolean, you can resize using table tools. For example you can use the "new range" with a length of 12 to pad the table of 12 elements of Boolean values (you can also use a subset of table).

  Hello;

  Keep things simple: (get rid of TO_CHAR)

  SELECT TO_DATE ((substr (record_date, 1, 10), ' DD/MM/YYYY') of?)

  TO_DATE (substr (record_date, 1, 12), "HH24 MON-DD-YY")

• Change the format of a date field to be used in a file name.

  Good afternoon!

  I use Livecycle ES3 and Adobe Professional XI

  I have a form in livecycle for employee evaluations.

  I'm saving a file based on domain names.  My problem is when I use a date in my file name field.  I have the scripts to work for the confidence function and the button on the form field.  They are listed below.

  Script folder level-

  mySaveAs = app.trustPropagatorFunction (function (doc, path)
  {
  app.beginPriv ();
  doc.saveAs (path);
  app.endPriv ();
  });

  myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc = app.trustedFunction (function (doc, file_path)
  {
  Privileged and non-privileged code above
  app.beginPriv ();
  mySaveAs (doc, file_path);
  app.endPriv ();
  });

  Button script

  () myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc

  this, "/ c/myfiles / ' + ReviewPeriodTo.rawValue + '-' + Div.rawValue + '-' + EVALTTYPE.rawValue + '-' + LASTNAME.rawValue + '-' + FIRSTNAME.rawValue +

  ".pdf");

  My problem is the ReviewPeriodTo.rawValue.  When I enter data in the form and that you do not enter a value for the ReviewPeriodTo field, the file is saved with the values of other fields, and a null value is inserted where the field would go to date.

  When I type a value such as 2014-03-15 in the area of the ReviewPeriodTo and values in other areas, it works.

  When I try to insert a value in as the 15/03/2014 in the area of the ReviewPeriodTo, I get the following error.

  RaiseError: The file may be read-only or another user can open. Please save the document under a different name or in a different folder.

  Doc.saveAs:16:XFA:form1 [0]: page 1 [0]: #subform [0]: Button3 [0]: mouseUp

  = > The file may be read-only or another user may be subject to open. Please save the document under a different name or in a different folder.

  My problem is, it's part of a much larger process when I import information from a make table query MS Access which is exported to Excel.  If I could just format field data automatically to formation of yyyy-mm-dd since t, that would work, but I don't know how to do coding in MS Access.

  Question: How can I format the data which are entered on the form to be the yyyy-mm-dd format?

  I tried to change the display format and data through models livecycle for the field, but it does not work.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you

  Hello

  It sounds like you need to specify all the formats users can enter the date in the editing modes.  If it matches one of the formats then the rawValue will be automatically formatted to yyyy-mm-dd format.

  This means that if the formattedValue is equal to the rawValue then the date does not match one of the edition models so you will need display an error message.
