query with a special character clob field

Using Oracle 10 g:
I have a clob field that stores a bunch of text. Some fields have a value of: \N

When I try to do a query for:

SELECT * FROM DOC_LANGUAGE, WHERE THE LANGUAGE IS NOT NULL OR LANGUAGE! = « \N » ;

I get:
ORA-00932: inconsistent data types: expected - got CLOB
00932 00000 - ' incompatible data types: wait %s %s got. "

What is the best way to isolate these?

You can't do

LANGUAGE != '\N'

on a clob

try something like

SELECT * FROM DOC_LANGUAGE
WHERE LANGUAGE IS NOT NULL
OR dbms_lob.instr(LANGUAGE,'\N') = 0

Edit: of course, this construction is a FORMULATION more NOT LIKE '% \N%'. You can also try

to_char(dbms_lob.substr(LANGUAGE,1,2)) != '\N'

Invisible ESSId with a special character - Satellite M40

Hello

I have a Satellite M40 with a card atheros AR5005g wireless.
I have a wireless network with WPA2-PSK encryption. The ssid looks like this: g4s8j6b-extraordinary character-o7v35s7gt3q1c6b8
With the latest version of the driver, it is impossible to see one ssid to connect to this network.
I tried a USB of Atlantis wireless adapter and it can find the wirelessnetwork (I can not connect because the USB adapter is not supported WPA2-PSK)

For me it is the problem of driving. How can I solve this problem? This 'special character' is not recognizing drivers isn't? is it possible to convert the ssid in the HEX code and insert the ssid in hexadecimal and hexadecimal key in a data to force the connection? (manual connection like Linux)

your faithfully

Oh this forum does not support the character... it looks like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9F

That the SSID is very long. Have you tried to use a shorter SSID?

{code}
Inside square brackets, the characers ']' and '-' have special meanings, unless you use them in places where the special meaning can't apply.  That means the ']' must be the first character inside the square brackets (Oracle assumes you're not ending the set right after you begin it) and the '-' must be the very last character inside the square brackets.
Depending on what newline is on your system, you may want to use CHR (13) in addition to, or instead of, CHR (10).

it would be more efficient to use the TRANSLATE fucntion, rather than REGEXP_REPLACE, to produce special_characters.  You'd have to list all 80 or so of the non-special characters, but you'd only have to do it once.

Invoice number with a special character
Hi team,

We have a requirement to compare the invoice number of the child database data.

We save the master invoice number in the variable to access the data of the child.

Our number is the invoice number is to have either a special character '-' because of which equal to the function does not work.

Pourrait a guide on this issue.

Here is the code
? xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,_'v1',_ssInvoiceNumber)? >

<? If: (xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'v1') = ssInvoiceNumber)? > View the data <? end if? >

Even if the data are not same the run loop if and its unwanted display of data.

The invoice number as (1-100678, 1-100677, 1-100679).

See you soon,.

Cannot delete/rename/move a file of Windows with a special character

Not so long ago, I used a portable hard drive to pass data between my PC and my MacBook (Running OS X 10.11.1).)

Unfortunately, I was stupid to create an alias of my portable hard drive on the desktop of my Mac by chance, just after my hard drive mounting.

The issue is that I can't even delete/rename/move it. Restart the system does not work, and commands (sudo rm/mv...) since the Terminal does not work either.

When I tried to delete/move the alias file, I got what is like that, "the operation cannot be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code - 50)."

And when you try to rename it with the name of the file 'a', I got what is, "try using a name with fewer characters, or no punctuation.". "

I think that this probably has to do with the name of the hard disk, which has a weird character "NULL", a character. This character is possibly legal in Windows, but illegal in OS X? Or maybe there are some differences between Windows and Mac, interpreting a file name?

Any help, thanks!

I would like to try the list to see what is happening one:

# display the characters hidden in the form of numbers

LS - lb

# If you have a lot of files in the directory

LS - lb | more

LS - lB

I assumed that you released the flash player.

usually, you can type a few characters and then press tap to get the rest of the printed characters.

Function group with CLOB fields in the Select statement

I try to query our following sql database. Remove the Clob (a.description) field I managed. But I need the Clob (a.description) field. Here is my sql class

select  a.id_number, a.id_owner,  MAX (n.next_action_required)
            KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY n.modified_date),
         MAX (n.modified_date) KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY n.modified_date) 
from table1 a, table2 n
where a.id_number = n.id_number
group by a.id_number, a.id_owner

I tried the following which works sometimes, but not always because the Clob field length (a.description) varies; anywhere from 10 characters up to 12 000 characters. I get a few drafts with the following and some where the text is cut off. I can not write the correct dbms_lob.substr function.

select  a.id_number, a.id_owner,  MAX (n.next_action_required)
            KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY n.modified_date),
         MAX (n.modified_date) KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY n.modified_date) , DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR (a.description, 8001, 10000)
from table1 a, table2 n
where a.id_number = n.id_number
group by a.id_number, a.id_owner, DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR (a.description, 8001, 10000)

Help, please. Thank you

get the table script using dbms_metadata.get_ddl but with clob field

Thus, Oracle 11g R2...
I use dbms_metadata.get_ddl for table scripts and it works fine...

now, I have a table with clob field, and it does not work... I got an error "missing a closing parenthesis (ora-0907) '...

does anyone have an experience on the use of this package on clob tables?

      dbms_output.put_line(dbms_lob.substr(p_clob, 255, l_offset));
      l_offset := l_offset + 255;

MouseOver CLOB fields in the spreadsheet poster a long text string

I use SQL Developer 4.1.1.19.59. Running a query on a table with a CLOB field (for example, the view System V$ SQL) displays the CLOB column with «...» "at the end of the field. When I mouse over this column, I get a long string of text that extends on to my second monitor. A current colleague 4.0.0.12 version gets a beautiful bubble pop up that shows the wrapped around CLOB field is actually readable.
Is there a setting that controls this? Or is it a (bug) difference between the two versions of the SQL Developer? If it is a parameter, I was not able to find it through preferences.

Received a response from Oracle.

Try to set the following preferences:
-Open tools/preferences/environment
-set the 'Look and Feel' = Oracle
-define "Line terminator" = Platform Default

He fixed it. I had the 'Look and Feel', set to "Windows". Change to 'Oracle' now annoys me long SQL statements in a little easier to read the pop-up box.

I will still argue that it should display the text in this way, the 'Look and Feel' no matter what I choose. It will be fixed or changed in a later version.

Thank you

Select the query with the level line list where the clause
Hi all

I am creating a tabular presentation based on a SQL query that has a list of selection based on a query with a where clause clause that refers to a column in the original SQL query.

The situation is, I have a table that stores the client_id, source_id, and build_id, lets call it client_source. I have a second table, build_source, containing source_id and build_id, one to many relations between the two (1 source_id could have build_id 1-7).

Using a tabular presentation, I want to select the correspondent build_id to use in client_source, but the selection list should contain only the build_id for this particular source_id of lines.

Here is an example of the SQL source of tabular presentation;

Select
s.ROWID,
s.CLIENT_ID,
s.SOURCE_ID,
APEX_ITEM. SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY (1, s.BUILD_ID,)
"Select display b.build_id, b.build_id return.
b build_source where b.source_id = s.SOURCE_ID ') lst
of s client_source

what I want to achieve, it's as source_id "BOLD" match fields. When the query is built this way, I get an error of "invalid identifier" Oracle on s.SOURCE_ID during execution.

Is there some special tags to be used to refer to the external column? I must be missing something because this looks like a pretty mundane problem.

I am running on 4.1.0.00.32, on an Oracle 10 g release 10.2.0.4.0 Server Express request.

I look forward to useful responses!

See you soon,.
Jason

Published by: 1005131 on May 9, 2013 19:02
Your selection by query list receives a static SQL. That SQL can't "see" the value of your s.source_id.
But it would work like this:
where b.source_id = ' | s.SOURCE_ID)

You would be the value for the SQL concatenation. It is not ideal, but it will work.

Need for a check on a CLOB field constraint
Hi all

I have a problem similar to that of the thread here: CHECK the constraint on the CLOB column

In summary, I have a table with a genetic sequence (CLOB because it often is > 4000 characters) field. I wish I had a constraint to refuse any character except (ACTG). I realize that a check constraint is not possible, but I tried a similar to trigger in the link.

Unfortunately, it does nothing. The trigger is created and compiles, but does to catch any invalid character on insert or update.

Code is:
```
create or replace trigger gene_sequence_seq_biu_tr
before insert or update on gene_sequence referencing old as old new as new
for each row
declare
   invalid_character EXCEPTION;
   PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT (invalid_character, -00001);
begin
-- REACHES THIS POINT
  for i in 1..DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(:new.seq) loop
--  DOES NOT REACH THIS POINT
     if substr(:new.seq, i, 1) not in('A','C','T','G') then
         RAISE invalid_character;
         exit;
     end if;
  end loop;
--  REACHES THIS POINT
EXCEPTION
   WHEN invalid_character THEN
   RAiSE_APPLICATION_ERROR(num=> -20107, msg=> 'New DNA SEQUENCE contains Invalid character');
end;
/
```
Any ideas? I'm referencing the sequence field correctly?

Change order number/special character artists

I would like to know if there is a way to change the order of all the artists that begin with a number or a special character order. Currently, they are all sitting at the bottom of the list of the artist on the ipod (and iTunes) but I would like to have all displays at the top of this list.

This is the sort order... I think you would need to change the names of the artists so that they start with something that gets sorted at the top of the list in alphanumeric order. For example, replace 10,000 Maniacs a_10, 000 Maniacs.

special character

Hello

in the groovy code,.

I want to write

FTRInstructionResult where (name = 'a' name')

But ' nme contains an apostrophe. Foglight doesn't. How to tell foglight is a special character? And not the end of the expression.

Thank you.

The ITI is not Foglight who dislikes your characters

It's groovy or java string syntax. If you wish to escape the Apostrophe with a backslash as follows

' a\ 'name '.

Search page based on query with Table on Layershift ADF Panel does not work correctly

Hello
I'm on 11.1.2.4 jdev and deployed my application on glassfish 3.1.2. I've hosted this application on Layershift externally.
I created a search page based on query ADF with table Panel. All fields of research are working fine on weblogic Server integrated and my deployment local glassfish.
However, on Layershift, when I enter some criteria of research in certain fields, it does not record.
UPDATE, it seems that the problem is with the fields which are of the "String" ie. Name. Fields of data type Integer and Date seems fine.
any ideas please?
Thank you

kdario, you're right, ViewCriteria does not use the correct syntax for mysql for the concatenation.

The generated sql statement looks like this.
```
SELECT * FROM (select student_id, student_name, from  student) QRSLT WHERE ( ( (UPPER(student_name) LIKE UPPER('%' || 'Per' || '%') ) ) )
```
as DB MySql does not support | (double pipe sign), its sql causing failure.

in order to support |, mysql requires to change the sql mode setting in the file my.cnf (on linux) in the
```
# Set the SQL mode to strict
sql-mode="PIPES_AS_CONCAT,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"
```
After setting this parameter, its working fine now.

When I got a report from SQL query (with box and a process) and the query SQL (editable report) everything worked. It stopped working when I added another SQL query report (with box and a process).
A SQL query has the following in my query: apex_item.checkbox(3,email_id,'UNCHECKED') ""
The other SQL query has the following: apex_item.checkbox(2,b.file_id,'UNCHECKED') ""
