Filter Table ADF | with the Like operator

Dear all,
I use JDeveloper 12 c.
I have an obligation to provide the filter on the table with the 'Like' operator
I'm following Ashish Awasti method on it. Ashish Awasthi (Jdev/ADF) Blog: filter on af:table column programmatically, Invoke 'FilterableQueryDescriptor' t...
All very well here. In "FilterableQueryDescriptor" default search operator is "begins by". Is it possible to change the operator "starts by ' to 'Like' operator.
Please suggest.
Thank you
Vieira

An addition: If the op just wants to use the like operator, it must use the data of the field in the table, as is. View implizite criteria build for filter uses

(((Countries.COUNTRY_NAME COMME (: bindName ||))) (('%')) OR (: bindName IS NULL)))

for the startswith operator. Yes ther EI '%' added automatically. It should be replaced by

(((Countries.COUNTRY_NAME COMME (: bindName)) OR (: bindName IS NULL)))

to be a true sql 'like' operator. Then, the user must enter the filter with the '%' residue criteria to perform a generic search.

Adding a '%' before the setting is counterproductive because it can be a bottleneck. The PB needs to do a full table scan to get the result!

Then it would not behave as the sql like operator that you can search for '? URO % "for"europa". If, for example, a line with "western europe" is your setting ' %? % ships ' grab this line too.

How to use 'LIKE' operator/substr/instr with if condition?

Problem with like operator

Hi all
We use as operator for the search feature (oracle 10G).
could someone help me in managing null, when we use as operator.

Ex:
Select empno, ename, d.deptno
from emp e, Dept. d
where e.deptno = d.deptno
and e.ename like '% JO %';

We have a text box to the end before you enter the name of the employee (ename) or part of ename. When the user does not use this option, he leaves it empty.

so in the query above, if ename is null then alors my query fails.

could someone help me handle this scenario.
My query should still give me all employee IDS, if the ename is empty.

using the dynamic sql is not advisable.

Thank you

Work with LIKE operator

Hello
I have a little confusion in the safeguard clause.
create the products table (product_name varchar2 (100));
Start
insert into products (product_name) values('A%_WQ123');
insert into products (product_name) values('A%BWQ123');
insert into products (product_name) values('AB_WQ123');
commit;
end;
/
Select * from products where product_name like '\%_WQ12% %' escape '-';
output:
product_name
----------------
A % _WQ123
A % BWQ123
can you please tell how it works, in the above statement the ESCAPE escape only % or the two and_ %
Thank you

Hopefully, this will clear your query!

1.

Select * from products where product_name as '% \%_WQ12%' escape '-';
OP: -.
A % _WQ123
A % BWQ123

Here, you are escaping only '%' no '_ '. And '_' sets a single character ('B' and '_') before the expression 'WQ12% ' and after '%' (escaped).

2.

Select * from products where product_name as '% \%\_WQ12%' escape '-';

OP-
A % _WQ123

Here, you are escaping both '%' and '_ '. It will review so these two characters as part of the expression '% WQ12 '. So like this template, there is only one record.

Thank you!

using the LIKE operator with wildcards to match names

I use SQL in ColdFusion 9 to match the names of a table in MS Access 2003 database.
The field of visitors to MyTable contains the name of 'Smith' in six records.
1 Wilson Jones Smith
2. Smith, Jones, Wilson
3. Smith(Jr.), Jones, Wilson
4 Jones Wilson Smith
5 Wilson Smith Jones
6. Smith
7 Smithson, Jones, Wilson
8 Jones, Wilson, Arrowsmith

To find records that contain the name Smith (but), I now have to write four lines "OR":
WHERE myField LIKE ' Smith [! a-zA-Z] %' (find only the Smiths in documents 1, 2 and 3)
OR MyField AS ' % [! a-zA-Z] Smith ' (detects only the Smith in folder 4)
OR MyField AS ' % [! a-zA-Z] Smith [! a-zA-Z] %' (find only Smith in folder 5)
OR MyField = 'Smith' (detects only the Smith in the form 6)
I would like to know how to combine these four lines into one that would find all six records with Smith.
Thank you for your help.

I think that the way you did it is the best. Since the word that Smith can occur at the beginning, middle or end of a string, it is difficult to write a single regular expression to cover all cases. Even if you could, it would be a complicated formula indeed.

Question about not like operator
Hello

This where clause omitting ABC%, but I wanted to exclude certain conditions I want my sql to return the column NAME = "ABCD", but exclude any other "ABC%".
How can I fix it?

WHERE COLUMN NAME NOT LIKE 'ABC % '.
AND COLUMN NAME NOT LIKE 'ABC% '.
AND COLUMN NAME NOT LIKE '% XYZ '.
AND COLUMN NAME NOT LIKE '% XYZ '.

Expected result:
ABCD
ABDELKADER
BENAMER
etc.
Hello

Here's one way:
```
WHERE   COLUMNA NOT LIKE '%ABC'
AND      (   COLUMNA NOT LIKE 'ABC%'
     OR  COLUMNA  =          'ABCD'
     )
AND      COLUMNA NOT LIKE '%XYZ'
AND      COLUMNA NOT LIKE 'XYZ%' 
```

search with the operator LIKE randomly.

Hello
I use ORACLE Database 11 g R1 and RHEL 5.

My front end gives options of the user to search for data on specific keywords.

For ex:-If the user wants to search for a column of detail with specific keywords. FREQUENCY, INPUT

the DB now has 4 Details values which has the keyword FREQUENCY, INPUT, but when the request is formed it forms as

select ...
from ...
where detail like '%FREQUENCY%ENTRY%';

This query will give only 2 production lines: -.

frequency entry FM alarm
frequency entry alarm FM

because the two key words are in the same order as the query in the like operator.

the output I expect is: -.

frequency entry FM alarm
frequency entry alarm FM 
entry alarm FM frequency 
entry FM alarm frequency

Here, the other 2 rows also have the FREQUENCY and INPUT keywords, but their order is reversed.

I can do this with a query like this: -.

where data like2 '%frequency%entry%' or data like2 '%entry%frequency%';

but the no. keywords are not fixed and this request is generated when executing.

can you please guide me with any appropriate solution what should I write in the serach request data in random order also?

Thanks in advance.

Bought a new Windows 7 laptop and I don't like Windows Live Mail. Can I install Outlook Express or Windows Mail?

Greetings,

Bought a new laptop today and it is running win 7, 2 questions, I really don't like windows live mail, I can download and use outlook express or courier Win? Also, I copied my old laptop Favorites in the news (via a hd post), but they do not appear in IE8. I know where the files are, I can't just them getting in the browser. What should I do?

Maybe later.

Hello
I wrote the following query, which according to me is the same, but it does not give the same result!
```
select * from OE.PRODUCT_INFORMATION where product_name in ('HD%','GP%');
select * from OE.PRODUCT_INFORMATION where product_name like 'HD%' or product_name like 'GP%';
```
So when I write IN it should always select any start of product with right to HD or GP? but this does not happen and no results are returned when I run with OPERATOR
Technically the two should give the same just result?
Please guide me here.
