• Problem with Decode statement

  Hello
  
  I try to do the following in my report:
  
  If an employee is a family name. (dot) or a name of. (dot), the report does not display a point. An employee name consists of the family name, first name and middle name, which should all be concatenated sets. An attempt to achieve this goal, I have the following statement in my report:
  
  Decode (e.Surname, '.', (LTRIM (RTRIM ((INITCAP (e.FIRST_NAME))) |))) » '|| INITCAP (e.MIDDLE_NAME))),
  e.FIRST_NAME, '.', (LTRIM (RTRIM ((INITCAP (e.Surname))) |)) » '|| INITCAP (e.MIDDLE_NAME))),
  (LTRIM (RTRIM ((INITCAP (e.SURNAME))) | ',' |)) INITCAP (e.first_name) | » '|| INITCAP (e.MIDDLE_NAME))) as emp_name
  
  E employee
  
  Problem: The above statement only works for employees with the name of. (dot). It doesn't for the first names of dot. How to use the decode statement OR is there another way to do it without using the CASE statement?
  
  It seems my decode statement does not work with 2 different fields (name, first name) tested within the decode statement. Thank you.

  LTRIM and RTRIM the comma too:

  select rtrim(ltrim(rtrim(ltrim(', Somename ,',','),','))) Name
  from dual;
  
  NAME
  --------
  Somename
  

• DECODE statement and the argument limits

  No one knows the number of arguments that the DECODE statement allows you to enter. I currently have 863 and it gives me an error message when I try to run the query.
  
  Database - ORA-00939 error: too many arguments for the function.
  
  Thank you
  Chris

  Hello

  You still have too many parameters your decodes, the limit is 250 so you can enter only 124 values and decoded. I would like to nest decodes by doing:

  DECODE (point, "c1", "v1", "c2", "v2", "c3", "v3",..., DECODE (point, 'c4', 'v4', 'c5', 'v5', 'c6', 'v6',..., DECODE (...)))

  Alternatively, you can for example use case

  WHEN BOX point IN ( END)

• Calculation grouping using decode statement?

  I have 4 sales reps who are numbered 9801, 9802, 9803 VRP, 9804.
  
  I have 3 support staff that support accounts by virtue of these representatives of REPS 1, 2, 3
  
  Support rep 1 will support the commercial attaché 9801 & 9802
  Support rep 2 will support the commercial attaché 9802 and 9803
  Support rep 3 will support the commercial attaché 9803 & 9804.
  
  Initially, I had a report which gave the results for all listed sales reps. The representatives of support and then imported it into excel and delete the records of the sales reps that they do not need.
  
  I want to create a page filter that will support rep select its name in a drop-down which shows only sales reps they support. So support rep 1 can select their name from the drop down and the report would only show information for the commercial attaché 9801 & 9802.
  
  I tried to do this with a calculation using the decode statement, but it does not work. It seems only to associate support rep to each sales representative. Is there a way to accomplish the grouping I want?
  
  DECODE (put into commercial service Rep.Sales,
  9801,'REP ' 1,.
  9802,'REP ' 1,.
  9802, ' REP 2',
  9803, ' REP 2',
  9803, ' REP 3',
  9803, ' REP 4'.
  9804, ' REP 4'.
  "ERROR")

  Hello

  I don't think you can do it easily if you want to use a filter on the page. This is because if a row is returned by the database that has a sales of 9802, then, the line must be on 2 pages.

  You can create a parameter to select the support rep and use this setting to select the records. Therefore, if the parameter is p_support_rep then you have a condition like:

  (: p_support_rep = 'REP1' AND sales_rep IN (9801, 9802)) OR
  (: p_support_rep = "REP2' AND sales_rep IN (9802, 9803)) OR
  (: p_support_rep = "REP2' AND sales_rep IN (9803, 9804))

  If you really need to use a filter on the page, then you will need to use a generator of line to create a line for each support rep and to join your generator line report by using a report similar to the one above. You can search for "Generator line" of this forum, or check out the learndiscoverer blog (http://learndiscoverer.blogspot.com/2008/10/row-generators.html) for more details.

• Concatenation of strings to form an INSERT INTO statement

  I am trying to build an insert statement by concatenating strings. Basically, that's what I do:
  < cfset string1 = "INSERT INTO #tablename # (" > ").
  < cfset string1 = string1 & #colname # >
  < cfset string1 = string1 & ")" > "
  < cfset string2 = "VALUES ('" > ").
  < cfset string2 = string1 & #coldata # >
  < cfset string2 = string1 & "')" > "
  
  < cfquery = "insert" datasource name = "db" >
  # String1 string2 # #.
  < / cfquery >
  
  
  -----------------------------------------
  Also, if I change the < cfquery > tags to < cfoutput > I get a valid INSERT statement:
  INSERT INTO Habitat (AREA, ARTID, BIOTOP) VALUES (43, 37, ' text')
  
  But when I have the tag < cfquery > I get this error:
  Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression "' text"'.
  
  I tried to change the (' #coldata # ') to ("#coldata") and also tried ("#coldata #") and ("' #coldata # '"), but I get errors all the time...
  
  So. How can I do this?
  
  

  I'm not asking why you do this :)

  but you will need to use preserveSingleQuotes(). probably right around string2, but may not be wrong to just wrap the whole.

  
  #preserveSingleQuotes (string1 & string2) #.

  You can, like this.

• Disqualification - CASE or DECODE statement writing

  Test
  
  Edited by: user4362313 may 3, 2013 05:00

  Hi Bala,

  If I interpreted the statement correctly, then you are wanting fill the digits left of the decimal point to four characters, so 12.345 becomes 0012.345.

  The best way to achieve this is by using a processor of Expression (see the online help for details of full syntax). Assuming that the input attribute is called 'col1' then the following expression should lead to the desired result:

  substr ('000' | col1, indexof (col1, ".") - 1).

• Need help in writing the SQL CASE or DECODE statement

  Hi experts,
  
  I need to write a SQL select order_num, cntry_cde, prod_id and Qty by joining order_num on PROD_ORDER and PROD_ORDER_TXT.
  
  Here is my sample data
  
  PROD ORDER_
  order_num Prod_id Qty cntry_cde
  100 US A1 5
  101 US 10 A2
  102 IN A3 4
  103 TO THE A4 9

  PROD ORDER_TXT_
  cntry_cde Prod_id order_num
  100 US A1
  101 US A2
  102 NZ A3
  103 TO THE A4
  A5 104
  
  Here's the requirement,
  
  (1) if the cntry_cde in PROD_ORDER is the same as cntry_cde in PROD_ORDER_TXT then select PROD_ORDER.cntry_cde (orders 100, 101, 103)
  (2) if they are different, choose PROD_ORDER_TXT (order 102, to THE NZ <>) country code
  (3) if they are different and PROD_ORDER_TXT.cntry_cde is null, I can't use it like cntry_cde in my report (order 104). It happenend just because of bad data to the source.
  I can't avoid it. Then just use the cntry_cde of PROD_ORDER
  
  Expected results
  100 US A1 5
  101 US 10 A2
  102 NZ A3 4 - changed in NZ
  103 TO THE A4 9
  104. IN A5 3 - IN retained as PROD_ORDER_TXT.cntry_cde is null
  
  
  instructions for creation and insertion of sample table are lower than
  
  create the table prod_order
  (number of order_num,
  cntry_cde CHAR (2),
  prod_id VARCHAR2 (6).
  number of quantity)
  
  create the table prod_order_txt

• SELECT with the matter in that statement based on the procedure returning a Boolean

  Hi all
  
  I try to build a select statement with a case where the condition.

                         ELSE   'N' END ) = 'Y'

  The case for the calculation of the value of the column works fine. Run this query without the where also works in condition.
  But in the condition, I get the following error: SQL error: ORA-00920: invalid relational operator 00920. 00000 - "invalid relational operator.
  The MY_PACKAGE procedure. AUTHORIZED (pValue) returns a Boolean value. Is it possible to use a case statement in the WHERE condition to calculate a value and check for this? If not, is there another way to do something like this in a query?
  
  Thanks for your help
  Chrissy

  The Boolean data type is unknown in SQL... you cannot use functions that return Boolean values in SQL.

  You can add a function overloaded in the package which returns a 'Y' or a 1, or something else that is a data type in SQL.
