• Operator function DECODE in an INSERT statement

  Hello guys,.
  Keep account I have other tables EMP with only one column ID and want to insert the new line like this:
  

  DECLARE
  x NUMBER := 1;
  BEGIN
  
  INSERT INTO EMP2 (ID) VALUES (DECODE((x mod 2),0,0,1));
  
  END;

  I got old project, which ran on Oracle 8 and tried to compile on Oracle 11g.
  When you try to run the above statement, I still get ORA-00907 - lack of closing parentheses. It seems to me that it is not allowed to use an operator inside the decode function but I'm sure that it worked on old Oracle 8.
  Does anyone know in which version he collapsed at work?
  
  Thanks for help

  DECLARE
  NUMBER x: = 1;
  BEGIN

  INSERT INTO VALUES EMP2 (ID) (DECODE (mod (x, 2), 0,0, 1));

  END;

  Hi murali,.

  I got your situation and it is easy to write a decode the following

  WHERE user_type_cd = p_user_type_cd

  WHERE user_type_cd = decode (: p_user_type_cd, "STUDENT", "STUDENT", "STAFF", "STAFF", "PROVIDER", "PROVIDER", )
  p_user_type_cd)

  Here you write the above and you will get the data.

  Hope this helps you,

  Best wishes

• where can I get a video decoder for win xp media center so I can pick up a signal from TV

  Hi davidwiddecombe,
   

  A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.

  A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding). Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

  Use your favorite search engine and browse for such a program which is used to.

• Decode and different types of data

  Hello

  I am using the function decode like this

  SELECT decode(:p_group_by_value, 2,rl.group_code , 3,r.relative_code , 4,r.REG_DATE, null)
  
  

  and there is an error because inconsistent datatypes (4, reg_date).

  is there a way to avoid this error? or a replacement for the decode function?

  Thanks in advance

  Yes, it will not work.

  think about doing it. Use to_char for all.

  so the numbers also convert char using to_char.

  SELECT decode (: p_group_by_value, 2, to_char (rl.group_code), to_char (r.relative_code), 3, 4, to_char (r.REG_DATE), null)

  Hope this will help you...

• error in pseudo-column "DECODE" can be used within an SQL statement

  Hi gurus,

  Your help is grealty appreciated. Please help me.

  
  I'm trying to see if I can use the function decode as below and get the error, here below vPlatformfrom value would be QA or MTS

  
  vDataBase1 :='@'|| Decode (vPlatformfrom, 'STD', 'STD', 'QA', 'QA')

  
  Before we check function NVL to a single platform, but now we need the database based on the platform is here.

  -vDataBase1 :='@'|| NVL (vPlatformto, 'MTS');

  Error:

  PLS-00204: pseudo-column "DECODE" or function may be used within an SQL statement

  > So, here, instead of the decode function, I can use this case as below:

  Well... you can, but why?  In your CASE, you simply return the same value as the variable.

  You might as well use: vDataBase1: = vPlatformfrom;  It would reach exactly the same thing.

  If vPlatformfrom can be a null value, you will need to decide what database to use or an exception.  I think you're original code (NVL) were probably more correct, but I can't decide which.

  (and don't bother selecting double, it is an unnecessary sql statement which must be analysed, etc..)

  Hello

  Of course; an expression to DECODE or CASE that returns a NUMBER can be used anywhere a NUMBER is provided, including within another expression to DECODE or CASE.  A DECODE or CASE expression that returns that a DATE can be used almost anywhere, a DATE is scheduled, including within another expression to DECODE or CASE.  An expression to DECODE or CASE that returns that a VARCHAR2 can be used almost anywhere a VARCHAR2 is scheduled.  (There are a few situations where it is absolutely a string literal).

  There are not many situations where you really need to do this, however.  It is generally simpler and more effective to use a simple CASE expression; nesting is seldom necessary.

  I hope that answers your question.
  If not, post a small example of data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) for all of the tables involved and the results desired from these data.
  Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.

  Simplify the problem as much as possible, so that it contains only enough to show the part you don't already know how.

  If you really need a user-defined function to show the problem, and then include a CREATE FUNCTION statement to explain what the function.  Yet once again, simplify: If the function is not what you do not understand, post a problem that does not use the service.
  Always say what version of Oracle you are using (for example, 11.2.0.2.0).

• decode as possible with conditional?

  Hi all

  I use the function decode (thanks to admin1)... is it possible to use a conditional statement such as the following? Instead of only to find codes of activity of 0 to 30, I want to find something that is not 10 or 20

  decode ("Activity Code", ("Activity Code"! = 10 or "Activity Code!")) (= 20), "Code of the activity") "activity Code."

  Select

  decode ("Code of business", 0, 30,"activity Code") "activity Code."

  "Activity Code Desc."

  Which is mentioned above for answers could already give you answers. I'm trying to guess here that you want to group all other groups (not 10,20) into a single group (assume his group 0). If this is the case, you can also do

  decode (code, 10, 10, 20, 20, 0)

  A full table scan might be the fastest way to get results. Do you have any reason to think that it would be faster to go through the index? How selective are the clues? In other words, what is the percentage of rows in the table correspond to each of the values in the WHERE clause?

  2. is the right to approach?

  It depends on what you're trying to do, which is not at all clear to me.

  Would the use of the concat operator in the function decode work better for my needs?
  Something like

  Select decode (APP |) STEP, 'SAPP9332', 'X') of TRANSACTION_HISTORY where

  If you use this approach, look out for the problem Ab asse crevit . For example, if you have these 4 rows and 2 columns:

  str1     str2
  ----     ----
  (NULL)     FOO
  F     OO
  FO     O
  FOO     (NULL)
  

  There are 4 values of distict of str1 (counting NULL) and 4 separate values of str2, str1 but | str2 is the same for each of them. In the above example, it there is no way to know, just by looking at the concatenated string, including str1 and str2 ends begins. Maybe it's not the case for your specific data (for example, if the application is still exactly 5 characters long). otherwise, you may need to add some kind of delimiter, like this

  app || '+' || step
  

  where you know that '+' never occurs in one of these columns.

  3. ANY other approach / request for my requirement.

  CASES, as I mentioned in your previous message:
  Decode the help function
  and as you have used above.

  In this thread, you said "I have to use the decode function. Why? It is a competition of school Etudieeo DECODE is explicitly required? Why you don't want in the best way, what that turns out to be?

  Your WHERE clause:

  AND APP IN ('SAPPI', 'SAPPI', 'SAPR3')
  AND STEP IN ('9320', '9332', '1208')
  

  admits 6 possible combinations of APA and step:

  app     step
  -----     ----
  SAPP1     9320
  SAPP1     9332
  SAPP1     1208
  SAPP3     9320
  SAPP3     9332
  SAPP3     1208
  

  but you are looking for only 3 of these combinations in DECODE it or the expression BOX. (Have 2 copies of 'SAPP1' e list won't do any good, but it does hurt real, either.)
  By the way, is "SAPPI" app with the letter 'I' at the end, or "SAPP1", with the number '1' at the end?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in this forum. I understand that DVD is not playing in Windows media player, installed some codecs but these codecs were Internet Explorer unstable. Let us know if it's the misunderstanding of the question.

  A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding). Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

  For example, when you rip a song from an audio CD on your computer, the player uses the default Windows Media Audio codec to compress the song into a compact WMA file.
