• SQL query return different result 11 GR 1 material and GR 11, 2

  Problem: SQL returns different results in 11 GR 1 material and GR 11, 2 games.

  Example script:

  create the table tab_main
  (
  SOS number (2) not null,
  contract number (2) null
  )
  /

  create the table tab_sub
  (
  number (2) of contract non-null,.
  SOS number (2) null
  )
  /

  insert into tab_main values (1, 10);
  insert into tab_main values (2, 20);
  insert into tab_main values (3, null);
  insert into tab_main values (4, null);

  insert into tab_sub values (1, 10);
  insert into tab_sub (20, 2) values;
  commit;

  The SQL code:

  SELECT *.
  OF tab_main.
  tab_sub
  WHERE tab_main.sos = tab_sub.sos (+) AND
  tab_main. Contract = tab_sub.contract (+) and
  tab_main. Contract not in (select 1 of the double);

  The above query gives more results
  -by 11.2.0.4
  1 10 10 1
  2 20 20 2
  

  -in 11.1.0.7
  1 10 10 1
  2 20 20 2
  4
  3

  
  Please tell us what could be the reason for the behaviour of offset lines thie.

  
  Thank you

  Piesset
  
  

  I think it is probably a bug in 11.1.0.7 (and possibly other versions), I get the same results as your 11.2.0.4 9.2.0.7, 10.2.0.3 and 11.2.0.3, and this is the result, I expect.

  Your not in the paragraph is equivalent to:

  SELECT *.

  OF tab_main, tab_sub

  WHERE tab_main.sos = tab_sub.sos (+) AND

  tab_main. Contract = tab_sub.contract (+) and

  tab_main. Contract <> 1;

  Since you have null values in tab_main.contract they are lost by the predicate since null = value is never true (or false).

• If a view object query returns no rows, can the vacuum to be tested at all?

  All those who know or have also experienced:
  
  I guess that the answer should be Yes, but I tried anyway, I still didn't worked. Here is the code (it's a method behind a command button, a bean of support (I use JDeveloper 10.1.3.4).) In the code, LoggedInStudent is the name of a view object; ZBLCModule is the name of the application module):
  

      public String commandButton1_action() {
          FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
          ValueBinding vb = fc.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{data}");
          BindingContext bc = (BindingContext)vb.getValue(fc);
          DCDataControl dc = bc.findDataControl("ZBLCModuleDataControl");
          ApplicationModule am = (ApplicationModule)dc.getDataProvider();
          ZBLCModuleImpl zblcam = (ZBLCModuleImpl)am;
          LoggedInStudentImpl studentsFound = (LoggedInStudentImpl)zblcam.getLoggedInStudent();
          
          String navCase = null;
          
          // Test (1): if the view cache is empty; always bombs up the application if it IS empty:
          if(studentsFound.getAllRowsInRange().length == 0) {
              navCase = "userNotFound";
          // (2) The following three tests gets to run only when the cache is not empty; they work fine.
          } else if (((Number)studentsFound.first().getAttribute("HoursAttm")).floatValue() == 0.0) {
              navCase = "noHours";
          } else if (((Number)studentsFound.first().getAttribute("Balance")).floatValue() > 0.0) {
              navCase = "notZero";
          } else if (!(studentsFound.first().getAttribute("Validated").equals(" "))) {
              navCase = "validated";
          } else {
              navCase = "zeroBal";
          }
          return navCase;
      }

  When the view object query returns a line, the whole of the application works without error. When the query returns no rows, test (1) always bombs toward the top of the application, prompting a Houston-30003 error.
  
  (1) test, I tried the following:
  

    if (studentsFound.getAllRowsInRange().length == 0)
    if (studentsFound.first() == null)
    if (studentsFound.getEstimatedRowCount() == 0)
    if (studentsFound.isDead()) //I do not know what isDead() does; just tried desperately.
    if (studentsFound.equals(null))
    if (studentsFound.getCurrentRow() == null)

  With each of these events, I got an error of Houston-30003. It does not matter what looks like the conditional test; It is important only when the objects from view cache is empty. If the view cache is not empty, everything, including the test (1), works very well. And when the cache is empty is not because of the failure of the connection to the database, but because the student is not in the data table and line are for the student.
  
  It is a requirement of the company to do something when the view object query returns no rows. Can it be tested at all? How?
  
  Or is there something wrong in the first lines in the method before the {color: green} String navCase = null; {color} line?
  
  Thank you very much for your help!

  Hello

  What you have done, is to get a handle to the object that CAN execute queries to the database.
  However, you do not query the database.

  Just add:

    LoggedInStudentImpl studentsFound = (LoggedInStudentImpl)zblcam.getLoggedInStudent();
    //New line
    studentsFound.executeQuery();
  

  The code that Shay has given you is when you do not have a request for all module, but since you are talking about a command etc button I guess that the module of the application is already active.
  The line I gave you should be enough to make it work.

  I'd be careful with the

  studentsFound.hasNext();
  

  I suggest to use estimatedRowCount();

• RowNumber = 1 return different data

  We are preparing the upgrade to oracle 11g 2 to 12 c.

  We have some test environment to test extracts which is in c 11g 2 and 12.

  Even extract script, the same data, another server with a different version of the database a to 11 g 2, the other is 12 c.

  Most of the snippets returned exactly the same data.

  But for a small number of extracts in .dat file returns a little bit different. We checked into it, it's because the script extracts using a function in the database and it uses rownumber = 1, same order. But another server returns a different record. For example, they return guardian meeting certain criteria, in this case, relatives are Ok, but we wonder why he returned differently. Is there a setting or is there a default sorting of columns in oracle if not specifically using order by?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Oracle does not guarantee that queries would return the same results if used as below.

  Select * from sample_table

  where rownum = 1;

  You may need to use like below to get the same results (Top N queries)

  SELECT column_name, rownum AS rnum

  ORDER BY column_name)

  WHERE rownum<=>

  What I need is:

  If the query above returns at least one record, it should display the line ' Yes. We have one or more employees who worked overtime in November2014'

  before the documents are printed

  Thus, the expected production is

  Yes. We have one or more employees who worked overtime at the November2014

  EMPNAME MONTHS SALARY OVER_TIME

  ------------------------- ---------- -------------------- ----------

  KATE 2000 NOVEMBER2014 300

  HANS 5000 NOVEMBER2014 100

  If the query returns no records then usual 'no rows selected' isn't enough

  Lothar G.f. says:

  In fact, sql * more is no good tool for use considered.

  Really?  It may be a good reporting tool if you learn to use it as such...

  for example

  SQL > ttitle left 'Yes. We have one or more employees who worked overtime in November2014.
  SQL > select * from emp where empno = 1234;

  no selected line

  SQL > select * from emp where empno = 7788;

  Yes. We have one or more employees who worked overtime at the November2014
  EMPNO, ENAME, JOB HIREDATE DEPTNO COMM SAL MGR
  ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- -------------------- ---------- ---------- ----------
  7788, SCOTT, ANALYST, 7566 19 APRIL 1987 00:00:00 3000 20

  This is just a basic example.  It is possible to get SQL * more to ask for the required criteria and that the title could adjust according to this criterion, as well as the query building on it also.

  However, the OP did not specify SQL * as the reporting tool, so there is little interest providing a complete solution which, until they specify what user interface that they are actually using.

• reload the page when SQL query returns a value

  Hello world

  the title of this discussion may seem strange, but I'll try to explain why I need this:

  A user has the ability to connect on my APEX application. There are several tabs in my application that are visible only if a certain SQL statement returns a value which is not the case by default. The user has also the ability to download a file that is transferred to an external system that analyzes the file and writes the data in the database. During this writing process - which may take several minutes - conditions for some of the tabs to show the will becomes real (-> the query will return a value). When the user refreshes the page manually, the tabs will be displayed. However, I want the tabs will appear automatically when the condition is met.

  Is it possible to refresh the page as soon as the query returns a value? It is perhaps possible to check it on the client side and trigger a refresh of the page when the condition is met. It would be even better if only the tabset has been updated, but refreshing the full page is fine as well.

  Thank you!

  Here is an overview of how it can be done

  This is possible thanks to a dynamic action being performed on a timer.

  View default tabs and dynamic action hide them on loading the page if they are not to be considered

  Create a dynamic action that will execute your query every 5 seconds or more

  If the query returns data, you can use the dynamic action to show your tabs using javascript

• Studio EN - is there a work around for the problem of referencing data from a grid with a different connection of DB and # different dimensions?

  Hello

  I'm making reference to a column in a different grid with a different database connection. I did some searching in the forums, and it seems that it is a known problem with EN Studio. The problem is that if 2 different database connections have different number of dimensions, then the reference will throw an error.

  For example, what I try to do, is below:

  In grid2.column [A], I have the following formula:

  Grid1. Column [A]

  The result is an error.

  The ultimate goal is to have a base of variance formula in the grid between grid1 and grid2, who have connections to different database with a different number of dimensions. Is there a solution to this bug? The example of the basic formula is less to:

  Grid1. Column [A] - grid2.column [A]

  Any help is very appreciated!

  Thank you

  Tiffany

  Have you tried to change the database connection in a row instead of create a new grid?

  PLS-00362: invalid cursor return type; 'NUMBER' must be a record type
  ORA-06550: line 2, column 3:
  PL/SQL: Item ignored

  In the code above, SELECT COUNT (*)... returns a NUMBER. I know it's an aggregation function, but it returns a single value.
  Why can't return a value in a column of a row in a NUMBER?
  How can I change the SQL code so that I can do this?
  
  Furthermore, I wonder about the use of FETCH with a count (*)... FETCH is supposed to fetch the next row... How it works when you select an aggregate as County?
  
  Thank you very much

  You said the CURSOR to return a NUMBER. And as the text says, he must be a 'record '.

  As you said already FETCH retrieves the next line, if any. A query is a request is a request. It returns a result set. A query that uses aggregates returns a result set. A query that does not aggregate returns a result set.

  Your simple COUNT (*) SELECT query returns a result set that consists of a LINE and a line a ONE COLUMN of type NUMBER. Although there is only one column in the result set, what is returned is a RECORD or a LINE. That's why you have to report your data cursor return type a document using the % ROWTYPE or % TYPE attributes or a record structure.

• Coding - returns the number of characters in a text box.

  I am trying to create an animation/simulation of cellular phone on board animate CC for use in a course of Captivate. In fact, when a user clicks on the number keys on the virtual keyboard, it displays the numbers in a text box, just as a real cell phone will display the phone number on the screen as a caller to connect. Thus, the user must click seven buttons and a seven-digit phone number is displayed on the screen of the virtual phone.  This part of my animation works fine and all seven digits appear, but I want to change the code so that a hyphen appears after that the third button clicked. In this way, the output looks like better a phone number instead of just a string of seven digits.

  Here is an example of the code that I currently assigned to the #2 in the virtual keyboard button:

  var text = sym.$("PhoneNum").html ();

  text = text + 2;

  SYM.$("PhoneNum").html (Text);

  PhoneNum is the name of my text box on the stage where the numbers appear as a click is performed on every key on the keyboard.

  To incorporate the hyphen after the third button clicked, I need to return the number of characters in the text PhoneNum sort box, then create an if/else scenario that applies the hyphen after the third button clicked.

  Anyone know how I can use JavaScript or jQuery to return the number of characters currently in the text box PhoneNum ?

  SYM. $("PhoneNum") .text () .length;
