• There is no possibility of ambiguity in the SELECT clause because any identifier in the SELECT clause must be a database column name

  Hello

  Doc Oracle says the following on the identifiers in the SELECT in PL/SQL clause: there is no possibility of ambiguity in the SELECT clause because any identifier in the SELECT clause must be a database column name.

  If we assume that only valid column identifier are allowed in the SELECT clause.

  But I tried the following:

  DECLARE
  toto NUMBER := 10;
  tata NUMBER := 0;
  BEGIN
  SELECT toto INTO tata FROM employees WHERE employee_id = 101;
  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(tata);
  END;
  /
  

  And there is no error telling me that toto is not a column in the employees table and the result is the same as: toto: = aunt;

  Won't the doc or did I just miss something?

  Thanks for your response!

  You're right that toto is an identifier, but this isn't a column name.  (Of a subquery) column alias are not database of the names of columns either, nor are the names of the user-defined function.

  Also, there is a possibility for ambiguity even if all the names are the database column names.

  Won't the doc or did I just miss something?

  I can't say until I see the doc you're talking about.

  Oracle documentation is sometimes misleading and sometimes just plain wrong.  For each mistake outright example that I saw in the docs of Oracle, there might be 20 cases where the meaning is unclear or misleading and maybe 200 where I just read it wrong.

• How to remove the name of the column in the select clause

  Hello guys,.
  
  I want to just delete a column name in the select clause. Because I don't want to write all the names of columns. I hope I am.
  
  In other words, I want the following.
  

  Select   * - unwanted_column  from table;
  
  instead of this 
  
  Select col1, col2, col3, col4, ........ col 10000 from table;

  Hello

  There is nothing in SQL, which means "all columns * except *...» ». As others have said, the only way to achieve these results in SQL is to list all the columns you want.

  Your front end may have a feature that allows you to hide a specific column. For example, in SQL * Plus, you can use COLUMN... NOPRINT , like this:

  COLUMN      dname     NOPRINT
  
  SELECT       *
  FROM       scott.dept
  ORDER BY  dname
  ;
  

  Output:

  `   DEPTNO LOC
  ---------- -------------
          10 NEW YORK
          40 BOSTON
          20 DALLAS
          30 CHICAGO
  

  There is a column called dname in the scott.dept table; the query above uses actually. But, because of the order of the COLUMN, SQL * Plus will not display this column.

• Subquery in the select clause and not "a group by expression" error.

  Hi all
  I hope someone out there can help me out with this one. I have a sql query that performs a subquery in the select case combined with an aggregate function and gives me a "not a group by expression.
  
  I created a simplified example

   SELECT COUNT(*)                     ,
    ai.invoice_num invoice_number      ,
    ai.description invoice_description ,
    (SELECT poh.po_header_id
         FROM po_headers poh ,
        po_distributions pod
        WHERE pod.po_distribution_id = aid.po_distribution_id
      AND pod.po_header_id           = poh.po_header_id
      ) po_number
       FROM ap_invoice_distributions aid ,
      ap_invoices ai
      WHERE ai.invoice_id = 1476932
    AND aid.project_id    = 8608   
    AND aid.task_id       = 462202  
    AND ai.invoice_id     = aid.invoice_id
   GROUP BY ai.invoice_num,
                  ai.description;

  I'm sure he expected me to add the po_number to the group by clause, but this does not work and gives the error "invalid identifier".
  
  Can someone suggest a way for a new concert the query so that I can add po_number to my education by clause.
  
  Kris

  You should try either:

  SELECT COUNT (*),
  AI.invoice_num invoice_number,
  have. Description invoice_description,
  (SELECT poh.po_header_id
  OF po_headers poh,.
  pod po_distributions
  WHERE pod.po_distribution_id = aid.po_distribution_id
  AND pod.po_header_id = poh.po_header_id
  ) po_number
  HELP ap_invoice_distributions.
  ap_invoices AI
  WHERE ai.invoice_id = 1476932
  AND aid.project_id = 8608
  AND aid.task_id = 462202
  AND ai.invoice_id = aid.invoice_id
  Ai.invoice_num GROUP,
  have. Description, aid.po_distribution_id;

  or

  SELECT COUNT (*),
  AI.invoice_num invoice_number,
  have. Description invoice_description,
  MAX ((SELECT poh.po_header_id

• Calling a function in the select clause.

  I'm using Oracle 11 g.
  
  I am trying to write a query like this
  
  SELECT name, age, sal, avg is avg_salary (age)
  of the customer
  where sal > = avg;
  
  However, I am not able to do. What the query is trying to do is to print the name, age and the remuneration of each customer, as well as the average salary for the age of the customer where the customer pay is higher than the weighted average for his age.
  
  Help, please. Thank you.

  OK, so what about:

  SELECT c.name,
         c.age,

         avg_salary (c.age) AS avg_sal
    FROM customer c

• The locale-specific decimal separator in Fmt?

  Is there a way to get the floating point numbers using the locale-specific decimal separator in the Fmt() function?

  It seems that SetSystemAttribute will only change the separator of UI elements, as described in this thread.  Call setlocale (LC_ALL, "") doesn't seem to work either.

  Is this possible?

  Thanks for the reply.  I ended up just do a search / replace and permutation of every instance of Fmt() with sprintf_s(), which DOES pay attention to the setlocale() function.

• LV 8.6f1 - different decimal point to the development & exe

  Hello

  In my program I want to use the decimal point '. ' and not the local symbol of the PC.

  So, I turned this option in the category "FAÇADE".

  In the development system, it works very well on the screen and in the recorded data (*.lvm & *.xls) files the "."  will be used.

  But when I create a my program exe file it will be always used a ',' as the decimal separator (on the same computer and screen in all the saved data files).

  Can someone help me?

  Jan

  LV 8.6f1

  The option is stored in the file LabVIEW.ini. This is what is used by the development environment. When you build an exe, the exe is using application_name.ini. So copy the configuration ini (useLocalDecimalPt = False) to application_name.ini, and who understand the distribution of your application.

• How to create a dynamic RTF report that creates dynamic columns based on the selection of dynamic columns in a table?

  Hi all

  Suppose I have table, whose structure changes frequently on a daily basis.

  For example. / / desc my_table gives you after the name of the column the day 1

  SQL > my_table DESC;

  Output

  Name

  Age

  Phone

  
  

  Day 2, two other columns are added, viz, address and salary.

  SQL > my_table DESC;

  Output

  Name

  Age

  Phone

  Address

  Salary

  
  

  Now, I want to create a Dynnamic RTF report which made extracting data from all columns from my_table daily. For this, I have defined a simultaneous program with XML output type and include in annex a data/definition of data model that takes XML as input and gives the final result of the conc program in EXCEL layout. I am able to do that for a constant number of columns, but don't know how to do it when the number of columns to display dynamically changes.

  For 1 day my XML file should be like this.

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <dataTemplate name="XYZ" description="iExpenses Report" Version="1.0">
  <dataQuery>
  <sqlStatement name="Q2">
  <![CDATA[
  SELECT Name
  ,Age
  ,Phone
  FROM my_table
  ]]>
  </sqlStatement>
  </dataQuery>
  <dataStructure>
  <group name="G_my_table" source="Q2">
    <element name="Name" value="Name" />
    <element name="Age" value="Age" />
    <element name="Phone" value="Phone" />
  </group>
  </dataStructure>
  </dataTemplate>
  
  

  And my day 1, EXCEL output RTF model should be like this.
  Name age phone

  Swapnill 23 12345

  For 2 days my XML file should be like this. With 2 new columns selected in the SELECT clause.

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <dataTemplate name="XYZ" description="iExpenses Report" Version="1.0">
  <dataQuery>
  <sqlStatement name="Q2">
  <![CDATA[
  SELECT Name
  ,Age
  ,Phone
  ,Address
  ,Salary
  FROM my_table
  ]]>
  </sqlStatement>
  </dataQuery>
  <dataStructure>
  <group name="G_my_table" source="Q2">
    <element name="Name" value="Name" />
    <element name="Age" value="Age" />
    <element name="Phone" value="Phone" />
    <element name="Address" value="Address" />
    <element name="Salary" value="Salary" />
  </group>
  </dataStructure>
  </dataTemplate>
  
  

  And my day 2, exit EXCEL model RTF should be like this.
  Name address telephone pay

  23 12345 Madrid 100000 Swapnill

  Now, I don't know below things.

  • Make the dynamic XML as we did in the day 1 there are 3 columns in the SELECT statement and the day 2, 5 columns. I want to create a dynamic XML which must not be changed if the new columns are added into my_table. I don't know how to create this query and also create their corresponding items below.
  • Make the RTF model dyanamic as day 1 there are 3 exit EXCEL columns and the day 2, 5 columns. I want to create a dynamic RTF model that would display all the columns selected in XML dynamic. I don't know how the RTF will create new XML tags and how it will know where to place them in the report. Means, I can create model RTF day 1, by loading the XML data for 3 columns and place 3 tags XML in the model. But how he will create and place the tags for the new columns the day 2?

  Hope so, you got my requirement, it's difficult. Please let me know how I can implement the necessary solution using the RTF dynamically without any manual intervention.

  Kind regards

  Patricia K.

  Post edited by: SwapnilK

  Hi guys,.

  I was able to solve above the requirement.

  I created a procedure that would create & update (attached to the data definition) XML file dynamically for each race. This dynamic XML contains the SQL statement for the data query that is built dynamically. I am updating this XML file using XDOLoader utility to the definition of data. Then run my program customized to generate the excel output.

  Exit excel retrieves correct number of columns dynamically (3 on Day1 and Day2 5), with corresponding data records.

  Kind regards

• Outer join - problem with the name of the table in the select list

  commit;

  Select c1, j1.c2, j2.c2 of outer join of j1 j2 using (c1); - DOES NOT

  Select c1, j1 j2 (c1) using outer join j2.c2. - WORK

  Why?

  Hello

  Interesting question!  Oracle goes very far in trying not to trigger an error.

  The OUTER keyword (if used; it is always optional) must be preceded by one of the keywords, right or LEFT.  Since neither LEFT, RIGHT, or FULL comes before OUTER in queries in your first message, it does not recognize as keyword OUTER and treats him like a table alias for table j1.  Since j1 has an alias, the real table name cannot be used in the SELECT clause.  This query is executed:

  SELECT c1

  outer.c2

  j2.c2

  External J1

  Join the HELP of j2 (c1)

  ;

  There is an INTERNAL join.  Add to your sample data:

  insert into values of j1 (-1, -10);

  insert into values of j2 (-2, -20);

  to be specified.

  Moreover, USING is short for confUSING.  I suggest you use IT for all the join conditions.  Everyone (unless they you write or read a manual) does.

  I left all my other tests cause well, none of them worked lol. It's just the bare bones starting point
  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  You can do this more effectively and more easily without UNION, like this:

  SELECT    *
  FROM       service_address
  WHERE       CASE
            WHEN  street_num  LIKE '%A%  THEN  1
            WHEN  street_num  LIKE '%B%  THEN  2
            WHEN  street_num  LIKE '%C%  THEN  3
         END     > 0
  ORDER BY  CASE
            WHEN  street_num  LIKE '%A%  THEN  1
            WHEN  street_num  LIKE '%B%  THEN  2
            WHEN  street_num  LIKE '%C%  THEN  3
         END
  ;
  

  If you do not want to make the same expression BOX twice, then you can do in a subquery, but then you'd have either display the results or list all service_address columns in the SELECT clause.
