Help with order by clause

Hello

I have a table with the data below, when I run my select with order option gives me
1 card

as a first line, but I need it
12 atm

as the first line, how this is possible.

create table test
(Identification number,
Val varchar2 (20)
)

insert into test values (1, 'Card')
Insert test values (2, ' map')
Insert test values (3, ' map')

Insert test values (4, 'cash')
Insert test values (5, 'Cash')
Insert test values (6, 'cash')

Insert test values (7, "Checque")
Insert test values (8, "Checque")
Insert test values (9, "Checque")

Insert test values (10, 'atm')
insert into test values (11, 'atm')
Insert test values (12, 'atm')

Select * from test
order by ASC of val

Or try again with

 select * from test order by upper(val) asc, id desc

In your table, the column is VARCHAR2 data type.

It is a string, even if it is to store numeric values, it will get condemn as strings

Try the below
```
select your_column from table1 order by to_number(your_column) asc 
```

Need help with dynamic where clause.

Hello world. I'm kind of a novice with PL/SQL, so please be patient with me. I am building a web application using Weblogic Oracle 11 g and Oracle database.
To make a long story short, I need to generate the complex dynamic WHERE clause. I don't know what will be the name of the column or the operator of comparison or the value will be until the moment of execution.
I'm not 100% certain, but I think I need to use dynamic SQL statements. Unless there is a better way to do it.
I'm sure that using dynamic SQL opens me up to SQL injection attacks if I use simple string concatenation. I would like to use bind variable if possible.
In any case, it seems like trying to build a dynamic where clause does not seem to work as I want it would be...
```
bv1 := 'colA = 5 and colB >= 9';

query_str := 'SELECT * FROM view WHERE :bv1';

OPEN CUR FOR query_str USING bv1;
```
The code above pours out when I try to run it.
Is there a way to build dynamic where the provisions without the use of concatenation of simple string that leaves me open to attacks by SQL injection?
Thank you

Hello. I have read briefly upward on things, you suggested, but it seems a bit abstract for me since I was a novice.

Can you give us an explanation or an example of how to use it to accomplish what I need to do?

Do ypu really plan create a query with a WHERE clause that contains a predicate for all possible columns?

Variable bind offer performance when the same query is executed several times with different values for bind variables.

Select * from emp where empno =: v_empno

After the first run Oracle will always be this query in the library cache. The next running can use the version of the cache even if the bind value is different.

Select * from emp where empno =: v_empno;

Select * from emp where ename =: v_ename;

Select * from emp where sal =: v_sal;

Each one is a DIFFERENT query. Yes - each of them uses a variable binding, but queries are different.

So, if your username select EMPNO, an '=', and a value from the first query can be executed. But the next time that the user can select the ENAME column so that 'stored' first request may not be used given that the query does not match.

The third time your user selects SAL so none of the first two queries can be used in the library cache. The use of bind variables gives performance during the SAME QUERY is used multiple times with DIFFERENT values for the variable binding. Oracle is not to analyze the hard query everything simply because the VALUE is different.

So bind variables do not help you if most of the queries were completely DIFFERENT sets of predicates. And SYS_CONTEXT will not help either since that simply provides a way to define binds the values of the variables.

Just for the simple example above, there are at least SIX possible combinations of columns that could choose your user name: empno, ename, sal, empno ename, empno & sal, ename & sal

Combining the UNION AGENDA and BY

Columns in the ORDER BY list must be a subset of the columns in the selection list on the left side of the union.

All the columns in the ORDER BY list should be sorted in ascending order, and they must be a prefix in the order of the columns in the target of the left side of the UNION list.

Hello

As long as there is that a single root, brothers and SŒURS of ORDER BY, you say, but you can not do in a subquery (well, you can, but usually there is no interest in a subquery). If the CONNECT BY in a subquery, there is no guarantee that the main request will preserve the hierarchical order which provides the subquery.

The query you posted does not require a query of Tahina, so you can say:

SELECT     CONNECT_BY_ROOT b.parent_part                         AS part_nbr
,     b.parent_part
,     b.child_part
--,     SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(b.line_nbr,' ')                    AS seq
FROM     bill_test1 b
WHERE          CONNECT_BY_ROOT b.parent_part     = 'ABC-1'
CONNECT BY     parent_part     = PRIOR child_part
ORDER SIBLINGS BY     b.line_nbr
;

I said the query you posted does not require a subquery. It also does not require double, so I guess that what you posted is a simplification of what you are really doing, and that could have a subquery. In particular, if you want to GROUP BY part_nbr, you need the subquery. We can use CONNECT_BY_ROOT expression in the WHERE clause (or, come to think of it, use a START WITH clause instead WHERE), but, for some reason, we cannot use CONNECT_BY_ROOT in a clause GROUP BY; We need to calculate CONNECT_BY_ROOT in a subquery, give it a name (like part_nbr) and Super GROUP OF this column in a query.

This requires that there is that one node root. ORDER OF brothers and SŒURS means just that: children of a common parent will appear in the order, but the root nodes, which have no parents, may not be in order.

Here's what I meant by using START WITH place WHERE:

SELECT     CONNECT_BY_ROOT b.parent_part                         AS part_nbr
,     b.parent_part
,     b.child_part
--,     SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(b.line_nbr,' ')                    AS seq
FROM     bill_test1 b
START WITH     b.parent_part     = 'ABC-1'
CONNECT BY     parent_part     = PRIOR child_part
ORDER SIBLINGS BY     b.line_nbr
;

This should be much more effective, because it reduces the results before waste you your time by getting their descendants.
With the help of a clause START WITH here is analogous to me sending you an email, saying "come to a meeting one my office at 03:00."
By using a WHERE clause here is similar by sending me an e-mail to all members of society, saying: "come to a meeting one my office at 3:00" and then, as people get here, tell everyone except you could go back.

Brothers and SŒURS ORDER BY was introduced in Oracle 9.

Need help with ordering high voltage

Hello

NI PCIe-6341 card is already installed. And I want to order a power supply voltage (CZE1000R) to generate the high voltage (DC). The goal is to fully control the high voltage. For example, the voltage can chang from zero to 30 kV in 5 or 10 seconds and be stable to 30 kV to 30 minutes and then go down smoothly at 20 kV in 5 minutes and finally back to zero. Could someone help me with this task? Thank you.

Hi, apok,

I used the 'panels-test' on 'measurement and automation explorer. And I see signals on an oscilloscope.

Thank your for your help.

But when I try to test the "tension cntrl.vi" it has not worked.

On the manual, he said:

"

Programming with external voltage:

Disconnect between TB1-2 and TB1 - 3 riders. Connect signal 0 - 10V between TB1-3 and TB1-6 (common)".

This means that I need to plug TB1 - 3 and TB1 - 6 and out of the acronym to TB1-3?

Help with MySQLI WHERE clause

I am trying to retrieve records from a table of unique composition based on the following criteria:
-members belong to 2 different associations (coded: Association = 1 or 2)
-Some members have no postal addresses (coded: adresse_rue) and will not send mail.
-Some members Association = 1 don't you mail (coded: D or V or W, X or Z)
-No member of the Association 1 with cur_bal_2 = < gets 10 mail
-No member of the Association 2 with cur_bal_2 = <-1 get mail
-cur_bal_2 field is a numeric value in the table.
I tested
WHERE (Mbr_Scat = 'P' AND Association = 2 AND adresse_rue <>' ' AND cur_bal_2 > = - 1) by itself results accurate/w
I tested
WHERE (Mbr_Scat <>had ' AND Mbr_Scat <>'V' and 'W' AND Mbr_Scat <>'X' <>Mbr_Scat ' AND cur_bal_2 >-20 AND adresse_rue <>' ") by itself, results also w/accurate
But-
When I combine the above to:
WHERE
(Mbr_Scat = 'P' AND Association = 2 AND adresse_rue <>' ' AND cur_bal_2 > = - 1).
OR
(Mbr_Scat <>had ' AND Mbr_Scat <>'V' and 'W' AND Mbr_Scat <>'X' <>Mbr_Scat ' AND cur_bal_2 >-20 AND adresse_rue <>' ")

I get no error message.
Suggestions?

Clayton

Another way to remove the general lines switchport is to use the option "Delete" on all VLANs currently associated. Just like what has been done for the vlan 1 in your example. Something like this:

switchport vlan allowed General remove 153, 154

Make sure you have the mode set correctly. By default, the access mode is set. If the default value of access is being used, the lines "switchport general" are ignored anyway.

Hope this has been helpful.

Problem will takes us to Basic!

Processing order for SELECT statements.

SQL query(Non recursive SQL) are processed in the following order

FROM clause

WHERE clause

GROUP BY clause

HAVING clause

SELECT clause

ORDER BY clause

So if you have something in the ORDER BY, but even not Fetch in SELECT it is bound to view the error.

Given THAT order will work on column projected by SELECT!

Single table query will fail also.

Now, I want to reduce the time of this request.

If I remove order by clause query that the query performance is quite perfect, but with order by clause its take time.

I already set SORT_AREA_SIZE, but still nothing improves.

ORDER BY clause with an expression
As the column of names and table name is valid, what happening internally when the query is executed?

SQL > SELECT STU_ID, STU_NAME FROM to STUDENT BY 2 + 3, STU_ID;

What I discovered, was that the lines get sorted by ascending order of STU_ID. It is obvious that he does not know the expression 2 + 3, so my doubts are:

(a) is he adding a pseudo-column to the table with 2 + 3 get discounted at 5?

Select (b) if there is a 5th column among students of the table and specify us it in the select statement of the list (5 column names) then why not consider as 5 and sort the data according to that?

(c) it is true that, any expression that we write is getting evaluated to null? Then - what is ORDER BY NULL refers to any order and if the Analyzer search name column or next position (if specified)?

(d) If neither of the two, so what is the reason of ignorance?

b is a pseudo-column adding to the table with 2 + 3 get discounted at 5

There is no column pseduo involved. (Pseudo-colonnes are something that Oracle provides to you, without requiring you to specify what you want. Include ROWID and LEVEL pseudo-colonnes. In this example, 2 + 3 is an Expression . Like the pseudo-colonnes, expressions can usually appear in the ORDER BY clause, even if they are not actually stored in the table.)
It is the first sort by the NUMBER 5 (= 2 + 3), not the 5th column. Since the NUMBER 5 has the same value on every row, every row relates to the forefront. The result of sorting by any constant is the same; the results are the same that besides as exrpression in the ORDER BY clause. This is the clause ORDER BY, that you have published is equivalent to
```
ORDER BY  2 + 3
,         'foo'
,         SYSDATE
,         NULL
,         stu_id
```
and this is also equivalent to
```
ORDER BY  stu_id

None of the expressions except stu_id vary from one line to the other, then none of them affect sorting.

Select (b) if there is a 5th column among students of the table and specify us it in the select statement of the list (5 column names) then why not consider as 5 and sort the data according to that?

As Solomon replied only literal numbers are taken to refer to a column. 5 is a literal number, then
```
ORDER BY  5
```
means "Sort by the 5th column", but 2 + 3 is not a literal (that is an expression that happens to include a couple of literals), so
```
ORDER BY  2 + 3
```
does not refer to the 5th colunmn.

(c) it is true that, any expression that we write is getting evaluated to null? Then - what is ORDER BY NULL refers to any order and if the Analyzer search name column or next position (if specified)?

No, when you way "ORDER BY x", the rows with values of x which come first, followed by the lines with higher values of x. lines having the same value of x will be together, in no particular order with respect to the other (unless there is an expression of failure later in the clause ORDER BY.
This is exactly what happens when you say "ORDER BY NULL". NULL has the same value (in fact, the same lack of any value) on all lines, so all rows have the same value of x, and they will appear in no particular order.

(d) If neither of the two, so what is the reason of ignorance?
