How to select rows whose column contains specific characters?

It is a telling of the T1 table with say column C1

Either the C1 field values:

1st row) OF/SPT/A/FWD
line 2) G/SPT/DE/OF/SPT
rank 3) R/FWD/SPT/A/FWD/FWD
rank 4) A/A/OF/SPT/FWD
rank 5) FWD/SPT/E/OF/A

How to get only the lines whose C1 column contains FWD last?

We can solve this problem with the simple use of a wildcard character:

    select *
    from t1
    where c1 like '%FWD'
    /

Note that this query runs a full table scan, because any index you can have on C1 will be ignored: the indexes are organized on the main characters.

How to Exchange rows and columns where to access the paper web in html IE
Hi all!

I use web analytics studio Oracle hyperion with Version: 11.1.1.2.0.940. Design of web document analysis, I use the spreadsheet, then turn to the analysis view, I can swap the row and column position by dragging and pulling.

But when I access the document by the smartcut in ie browser, opening in the html template, how can I exchange line and column position?

Thank you very much in advance.
OK, I think I understand what you're saying. The problem is that it does not show the left pane with a smartcut.

Here's a tip. Add a button of 'Service '. Add "Information Toggle Pane" as the service.

When you click the button that will open the left handle in HTML view panel. You will then see row and column and you should be able to switch the dimensions as needed. I just tested and it works.

hope that helps.

Saad,

How effectively select rows randomly a large table?

Hello

The following code selects 5 lines of a random set of rows in the table emp (employee)

select * 
  from (
       select ename, job
         from emp
       order by dbms_random.value()
        )
where rownum <= 5

My concern is that the internal selection causes a table scan in order to assign a random value to each line. This code when it is used against a large table can be a performance issue.

Is there an effective way to random selection rows in a table without having to do a table scan? (I'm new to Oracle, so it is possible that miss me a very simple way to perform this task.)

Thank you for your help,

John.

 *-* *-*Vacation*-* *-* *-* *-*8,00*-* *-* *-* *-* *-*

{code}

- As you can see, the datafile delimiter is "*-*" .... there's no pb about this.

- Also, there are 5 lines in the datafile. Currently, the _*load status*_ is :
   - Line 1 is the header  >>> not loaded, and that's fine with me.
   - Line 2 is successfully loaded
   - Line 3 / Line 4 / Line 5 : are not loaded .. but I need these lines ...

*What I'd like to get is to successfully load lines 3 to 5 with a default values for the first 3 columns (project/task ID/ task desc)*

I hope it's clear enough and that you will be able to provide a good answer ..

Thanks in advance,
  Olivier

In your example, the only ranked with value on all lines is TACHE_DESC.
If this field is always filled, try this:
WHEN TACHE_DESC! = "Task/Description".

How can I insert a number to a specific index (row and column) to a table

I had the most with function 'insert into array' problem because of its counter-intuitiveness. I want to insert a number I got inside a loop IN a table. The ROW and COLUMN of this table I want enter the number is specified by the number of loops of two loops FOR. It did not work.

So, I have isolated and tested this function further. Frankly, I initialized a table 2D with ZEROS and plugged into the "insert into array" function (on top of entry). I then put the number '1' for the index (line) and the number "2" for the index (column) and then put the entry number "6" for the "new item/sub-table. Then, I hung a picture of 2-D (indicator) output to the output of the function "insert into array. When I did all that, it means I want to just put the number '6' in line '1' and the column '2'... This isn't letting me do it.

How can I do this SIMPLE?

Hi Darrell h...,

Looks like you can use the function "autoindexing. Take your value and connect it to your loop, it will be a default autoindexing. Right-click on the last tunnel of output and select Create indicator, the result is your table.

It will be useful.

How to find DB tables containing specific columns (ORG_ID / ORGANIZATION_ID)

Hi all, I would like to know if someone has developed a script to find all tables containing the columns (fields) specific.

I'm on a migration project where I don't have access to the source of the DB, I just ask for queries and I to reflect all the tables DB containing specific data of organization.
So the first step was to understand used tables and I get them, now I understand what tables have Org_id / Organization_ID and fields of the SOURCE of the LANGUAGE/LANGUAGE (source DB has much set Org and many languages also, so I need to filter the 100total 6ORG_ID and 2 languages of 8 total installed)

This property returns an error of missing an = sign

I tried:

does not work

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Not sure if you have this problem here.
& could also has power not characters in the normal column names (didn't test).

In this case, you will need to put the name of column ".»

+ example +.
{code}
Aircraft UPDATE
The VALUE "d & f" = 1
WHERE aircraft_code = '737';
{code}

Be aware that in this case the column name must be spelled exactly as if it was when the table was created.

How to get the string (specified by row and column) of txt file with labview

Hello world

How to get the string (specified by row and column) of txt file with labview

THX

As far as I know, a text file has no column. Be more specific. Do you mean something like the 5th word on line 4, where the words are separated by a space, and lines are separated by a newline character? You can read from the spreadsheet String function and set the delimiter to a space. This will produce a 2D channels table. Then use the table to index and give the line number and column number.
