  Here is the difference:

  • Standard report column: this is used when your column in the SQL query returns the HTML markup. For example the query SQL with APEX_ITEM API columns or columns where you have mixed data in the column with the markup. In short, APEX rendering engine treats the column as HTML markup and analysis accordingly to display the required HTML element.
  • Display text (escape special characters): this type analysis the column data in the form of data stored in the database (no HTML). During analysis if the data contains special characters then it escapes and displays the data.

  Yes, you can mix the manual in the form of built on APEX_ITEM with normal standard report (display text) columns.

  I hope this helps!

• How do I search for special characters in the Explorer?

  I have a collection of 1000 + files in an FTP folder. The problem is that about 50 of them contain & symbols in their file names. I need to find and delete all the files containing the symbol '& '. I thought it should be easy enough to search for the symbol '&' File Explorer. However, in doing so, nothing happens. It returns all files. Is it possible to search for special characters like '&' in the file Explorer?

  Type filename: * & in the Explorer search field, it finds all files where appears the & character in the file or file name extension.

• escape special characters in xml format

  I have an XML file that has answers to a questionnaire done in Flash and HAVE 1.0. One of the questions a responses as "> 1" "< 1". This response relates unless one or more than one year. The < appears quite in the form of answers, no doubt because it needs to be escaped. Is that possible or I need to clarify the answer. BTW, is in French I don't speak so I am opting to keep the responses that they are, and work around the problem by taking the leak, if it had been Spanish or English I would rewrite responses comfortably. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Encoding for the XML file is xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8".

• Special characters in sql

  Hello

  I had a question about the escaping special characters in Oracle. Let's say I have a table column that contains data like '% _Tester % '. I ideally if we do a select on this table, it would be something like

  Select * from table where column like '% \_TEST%' escape ' \'

  However, when I run this query on sql developer

  Select * from table where column like 'TEST %', it returns the same result. (without exhaust the character special _.)

  I was just wondering, if this is because default sqldeveloper escapes special characters? or do we still have to write the leak as a good practice?

  Thank you!

  Ryan

  Lines that are LIKE 'TEST %' will include all lines that are LIKE '\_TEST% %' ESCAPE ' \'. If all lines which that interest you conform to the mask, they will also appear when you perform the first. You can have records that correspond to the first but not the second, although:

  SQL > create table testdata until

  SELECT 'ABCTESTXYZ' val double UNION ALL

  SELECT "AB_TESTXYZ" FROM double

  Table created.

  SQL > SELECT * FROM testdata WHERE val LIKE '\_TEST% %' ESCAPE ' \'

  VAL

  ----------

  AB_TESTXYZ

  1 selected line.

  SQL > SELECT * FROM testdata WHERE val LIKE '% TEST % '.

  VAL

  ----------

  ABCTESTXYZ

  AB_TESTXYZ

  2 selected lines.

• empty data file with special characters in the name

  Hi all
  
  I'm having a problem with an empty data file which is in recovery mode.
  
  Before the following has been a success:
  ALTER database create datafile 'fully_qualified_file_name' as 'fully_qualified_file_name ';
  recover data file "fully_qualified_file_name";
  ALTER database datafile 'fully_qualified_file_name' online;
  
  But this time it does not work as I get an error:
  ORA-01516: file nonexistent journal, data file, or temporary file
  Using the file id does not work either.
  
  When I created a record of control file I see the data file has special characters in the name:
  ' / oracle/PRD/112_64/dbs/PSPR3I ^? ^?'
  
  Since it is empty, it would be possible to create the data file void anothr
  using the:
  ALTER database create datafile ' / oracle/PRD/112_64/dbs/PSPR3I ^? ^?'
  as ' / oracle/PRD/spdata2/r3i_8/r3i.data8';
  
  and then recover datafile 'fully_qualified_file_name ';
  ALTER database datafile 'fully_qualified_file_name' online;
  
  How orders oracle faced with special characters?
  
  Thanks for your advice

  It should work using a file as the definition of source file number and a new name for the new file. Works for me:

  orcl> alter database create datafile 7 as 'c:\tmp\newname.dbf';
  
  Database altered.

  I have a column name with special characters. How can I replace the special characters in the column with space and no space based on the special character. Please see the example below. can I use REGEXP_REPLACE?
  
  create table

  create table sample_test (
    Name    VARCHAR2(20 BYTE))

  Insert a table

   insert into sample_test values ('O''NEIL')
       insert into sample_test values ('B.E.VICTOR')
        insert into sample_test values ('WILLIAM,L')
         insert into sample_test values ('MARY-ANNE')
             insert into sample_test values ('VON_ANCKEN')
              insert into sample_test values ('BROWN;L')

  I would like the following output

  Please notify.
  
  Thank you

  A simple solution without the use of regexp:

  -- Test Data
  with sample_test as
  (
  select 'O''NEIL' name from dual union all
  select 'B.E.VICTOR'  name from dual union all
  select'WILLIAM,L' name from dual union all
  select'MARY-ANNE' name from dual union all
  select'VON_ANCKEN' name from dual union all
  select'BROWN;L' name from dual
  )
  -- Query:
  select name old_name,
         translate(replace(name,'''',''),'.,-_;','     ') new_name
  from sample_test;
  

  Explanation:

  REPLACE deletes the quote
  TRANSLATE replaces point, comma, dash, semicolon and underscore

• special characters must be escaped - but does that mean exactly?

  Hello

  I work in codeview. The text I'm formatting is be scientific info which includes things like this: (< 2% incidence) are nausea,...

  OK, so the ' < ' causes of getting the error message: special characters must be escaped, and if this text will not be rendered on the page properly.

  What should I do so that he can consider this a readable text and not code?

  The average of backslash escapes? -take a guess... so it would be / < 2% in my code?

  Thank you.

  Well Yes, there are a few different codes, you can use to make a larger - and less - than symbols in your text.

  > and < are shorter, and which will write mode Design in your code automatically.

  Do not pass the data values in the URL. If it is possible to escape values to make URL - and APEX parameter-safe, it is much better to avoid the problem completely.

  Create a primary key of the substitution on the table which is an immutable discreet digital identifier and use it only as a URL parameter. In pages/target areas, use this value of PK to extract the data from the table.
