problems using the replace() function

• Using the Replace function

  Hi all
  
  I have a column called supplements and it has values such as
  
  1. the payment is > 90 days
  2. the payment is < = 10 days
  
  Now, I want to use the Replace function to replace > and < to "greaterthan".
  and 'lessthan' RESP, but the problem is that, in the function replace, I can give that one argument. So what I do is in the region of fx for the column
  
  Replace (supplements,' > ',' greaterthan')
  
  This replaces the > sign very well with string greaterthan and show me values such as
  
  1. the payment is greaterthan 90 days
  2. the payment is < = 10 days
  
  but I want to replace < "lessthen" also, how can I do? Can I undergo two replace statements? How can replace several string or special characters for a single column?
  
  Help, please.
  
  Thank you
  Ronny

  Try this
  CASE
  WHEN supplements LIKE ' % > %' THEN Replace(latepayment,'>','greaterthan')
  WHEN supplements LIKE ' %<=%' then=""><>

• Columns of Union two problem using the TO_CLOB function

  Hello
  
  Let me start by you (a simplified version of) showing the query I'm running:
  
  SELECT
  l.Person,
  TO_CLOB(l.letter_code ||) "letter has been sent.") Note
  letters l
  
  UNION
  
  Select
  n.Person
  n.Note
  n notes
  
  And here's the table structure
  
  LETTERS)
  l.Person varchar2 (10);
  l.letter_code varchar2 (2);
  *)*
  
  NOTES)
  n.Person varchar2 (10);
  CLOB n.note;
  *)*
  
  Each request runs on its own without any problem but when I union together I get a ' * ORA-00932: inconsistent data types: expected - got CLOB * "error. I can't understand what is the cause. The TO_CLOB in the first query is to convert the varchar2 column in a CLOB then why would he be oppose to be clauses with the second query?
  
  Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks :)

  You may not use the set operations, UNIONS, MINUS, INTERSECT with CLOB columns etc. simple as that.

• Problem using the AVERAGE function

  So, I have the following query:

  Hello, you should not use SEPARATE functions of aggregation (aggregation will produce the DISTINCT records in which you are going to GROUP BY for aggregation). In addition, AVG (SUM (()) makes no sense: AVG() on its own is what you need - it is never necessary to nest functions of aggregation like that.)

  Therefore, try:

  select  avg(plyr.avg_speed) as tm_speed,
                                sch.game_code,
                                sch.home_team_name as team_name,
                                tm.team_id
                         from
                                soccer.soccer_optical_player_gm_stats plyr,
                                soccer.soccer_optical_team_gm_stats tm,
                                customer_data.cd_soccer_schedule sch
                         where  sch.season_id = 200921
                         and    tm.team_id = sch.home_team_id
                         and    sch.game_code = plyr.game_code
                         group by

• Problem using the DECODE function

  I'm trying to decode what follows, but I seem to have a problem of syntax:
  

  decode
  (
         p.balls,p.strikes,
         1,0 '1-0 Count',
         2,0 '2-0 Count',
         3,0 '3-0 Count',
         0,1 '0-1 Count',
         0,2 '0-2 Count',
         1,1 '1-1 Count',
         2,1 '2-1 Count',
         3,1 '3-1 Count',
         0,2 '0-2 Count',
         1,2 '1-2 Count',
         2,2 '2-2 Count',
  ) as Count,

  what I'm trying to take place is whenever the column of balls a '1' and the column to strike a '0' to decode the number of 1 - 0"etc...

  Hello

  Why use DECODE at all?

  TO_CHAR (p.balls) || ' -' || TO_CHAR (p.strikes) || ' Count'
  

  Assuming that you really need to use DECODE: it only works on a single value.

  You can combine your two values into one:

  DECODE ( (10 * p.balls) + p.strikes
         ,  0, '0-0 Count'
         ,  1, '0-1 Count'
         ,  2, '0-2 Count'
         ,  3, '0-3 Count'
         , 10, '1-0 Count'
  ...
         , 32, '3-2 Count'
         )
  

  or DECODE the two columns separately.

  DECODE ( p.balls
         , 0 '0-'
         , 1 '1-'
         , 2 '2-'
         , 3 '3-'
         )
  ||
  DECODE ( p.strikes
         , 0 '0 Count'
         , 1 '1 Count'
         , 2 '2 Count'
         )
  

• Do I need to use the NVL function for this request?

  I seem to have some problems using the NVL function on a date. I'm trying to create a query pulls back just a date a file was sent between the sysdate and the date_sent more a minute. Here is the code I use...
  
  Oracle: 10.2 G
  

  SELECT date_sent as date_sent
  INTO    iDateSent
  FROM    tableX
  WHERE  file_id= 9999
  AND    date_sent BETWEEN sysdate AND date_sent + 1/1440; 

  Currently Output (null):

  DATE_SENT

  Desired output when date_sent is null:

  DATE_SENT
  0:0:000 0:00:00

  Note:
  date_sent column is in a normal date - same format as sysdate format.
  
  The problem I encounter is when date_sent is null, the stored procedure, I built crashes because date_sent returns a null and a null value cannot be stored in the variable 'iDateSent '. I was thinking about using the NVL function here to resolve, however, I'm not entirely sure who will work with the above query. Any thoughts?

  Hello

  you said: "desired output when date_sent is null: date_sent: 0".
  It is not possible to have a date of 'zero '.

  "and a null value cannot be stored in the variable 'iDateSent'. '.

  I do not think: If this variable is declared normally (without any not null not constrained to this topic) so that it can contain a null value. (it's 99% of the time in PL/SQL).

  I think it's that your SQL retrieves no rows, to manage what you should put an exception handler:

  begin
  SELECT date_sent as date_sent
  INTO    iDateSent
  FROM    tableX
  WHERE  file_id= 9999
  AND    date_sent BETWEEN sysdate AND date_sent + 1/1440;
  exception when NO_DATA_FOUND then
   iDateSent:=null;
  end;
  

  So what you can do if you don't want the date empty a nvl:

  return(nvl(iDateSent,sysdate));  -- or another date ...

• Does anyone have an example VI for using the SendInput function in User32.dll?

  Hi all

  I am creating a VI that creates a click of the mouse.  I looked at the MSDN Web site and found that I need to use the SendInput function in User32.dll.  The problem is that some of the parameters for this function are nested structures.  How to use this function in a call library function node?  Is there already a LabVIEW wrapper for this function?

  Thank you

  MechEman

  I would use rather MouseEvent.  I looked at my VI and it can be cleaned up a bit, but it works for what you want to do.

• After mac os update and software reinstall now unable to use the scan function

  Hello

  I never thought I had to post on one of them, but it really made me. I have a Macbook and stupidly thought that I would update to the mavericks os 10.9 the other day.

  I continued to be able to print once the update, but it was impossible to use the scan function. So, I removed the printer and the drivers and downloaded the new drivers which would have been compatible with os x 10.9. When I went to reinstall the printer, he couldn't locate it on the list of "available printers" - I connect using wi - fi connection at home.

  The only way I could connect the printer was installed manually by entering the ip address. It was found and I print now, so I don't think there is nothing wrong with the connectivity, but a warning when you do this that says scan function does not work, and of course the scan option is simply not there.

  Thought I have would bypass this using analysis of e-mail on the printer. It seemed to work fine, but when I received the email there was no attachment.

  My husband is now scanning these documents to his computer (a pc) and emailing for me - is not ideal.

  Any ideas on how I can fix this?

  Thank you

  Annie

  Hi Annie,.

  Here is a picture of a printer, USB cable,

  

  Now that I know what printer we work with, I have another idea. On the front screen of the printer please press the wireless icon. There are 4 icons in the upper part, the wireless is the second from the left. In the Menu arrow until settings wireless advanced. I would like to disable IPV6, arrow down to IPV6, and then select OFF.

  I saw the IPV6 interferes with the Hello Protocol several times, often time turning off this feature will solve the problem and allow the Mac to see the printer on the network. Once IPV6 is disabled try to add the printer again.

  Please let me know if this solves the problem, I am eager to see this solved and you get printing and scanning of your own computer.

• How to use the add_months() function in a mapping?

  Hello

  I have a variable in ODI with a date and I need to add another variable to add 'x' months...

  How can do that?

  Thank you

  If you say you have variable1 organise a date for example 01/01/2015 and variable 2 holding a certain number of months for example 7?

  If so in your mapping expression simply use the date functions available to your database technology (step/target) and replace the variable in the function

  that is for Oracle your mapping would be ADD_MONTHS (#Variable1,Variable2of #)

• PS elements 11 cannot use the text function. Error message could not initialize the text.

  When I try to use the text function the letters do not appear. Text feature appears frozen. Get the error message - unable to initialize the text.

  Recently PSE11 uninstalled and reinstalled. Downloaded 2 Google font. Was able to use the text function with Google fonts with no problems. Two days later, attempted to work with the text function and the typed letters appear on the screen/layer. Tried to add the text with fonts pre-installed PS - still once, no text appeared. Impossible to set up a text box. How can I fix it? Thank you

  Suggest that you reset the text tool, that only he can fix.

  I believe in PSEv.11, there is a small arrow, top of the page to the left on the tool options bar. Click on this.

  If the arrow is not there, look in the options bar to the text tool, on the right, for a box with lines inside. Adobe changed the location and icon in later versions of the program.

• Problems with the Row_Number function

  I have problems with the Row_Number function. I use to assign line numbers to records where a student has a note of passage on a module and the exclusion of the modules failed (I want to show her a 0 as the line number for the modules failed). The problem is that when I try to use a condition, the report still assigns a line number to a defective module if it does not display it (it shows a 0 I wanted to show him). The results are displayed as follows:

  Line number	Module	Grade
  1	ModuleA	Pass
  2	ModuleB	Pass
  0	ModuleC	In case of failure
  4 (instead of 3)	ModuleD	Pass

  How can I make him jump to assign a line number to all the modules failed? Please help.

  Thank you.

  Thank you very much, Melanie. I made changes to query as per your suggestion, which is a union of the modules failed and passed (using row_number on success modules). Thanks for the solution.

• to use the NOW() function with operator (such as NOW () - 120) 11.1.1.6.11 or 11.1.1.7.1

  Hi all

  I want to use the function NOW with a different operator in obiee11.1.1.6.11 or 11.1.1.7.1

  but every time I have a creating a filter as

  TRAN_DATE is equal to NOW()-120, we become "an arithmetic operation is being performed on a non-digital type.»

  11.1.16.11 and 11.1.1.7.1

  Hare TRAN_DATE is in RPD datetime data type

  Can someone tell me how to replace the error and make the report run and return the results

  Do now () - 120 is a very simplistic way to look at it because it is highly ambiguous. IE: NOW less 120 "what?" Minutes? Seconds? Years? Petroleum products?

  Accuracy is the key. Now() gives a timestamp (a real timestamp DATA TYPE object!), so I guess you mean days.

  Timestamp data types are changed (projected through time) using the TIMESTAMPADD function, which in your case would by this formula:

  TIMESTAMPADD (SQL_TSI_DAY,-120, NOW()))
