Replacement of the NULL values to zero to perform an arithmetic operation on column

Hello

Please enlighten me how to achieve this.

I want to add on the Salary column operation in the EMP table.
Some values are null in the salary column. I want to replace the value null by zero and we'll do the addition.


As: I want to add 15 where for emp 1 and his sal is null.
It should be 0 + 15 = 15


Thank you
Madam.

Or maybe you wanted to say:

NVL(sal,0)+15

depends on if your summation by rows or simply want to add to the value of the current row.

    I have to remove the NULL values in column 1, the problem is that the position of the NULL values are not fixed, and it can be any position. If all the lines of the columns are null, then throw it away.

    If multiple NULL values are here so I have to do the math as follows to update null with the eigenvalues

    1. If the first line is null then take the 2nd value in row and update it.

    2. If the lines between both is null then take avg of prev and next value not null and refresh it.

    3. If the last value in the column is null, then then take prev and update, in this case last two are null, so I have to take value of prev 14 value line update in

    15th and 16th ranks.

    I want to put this pl/sql logic, somehow, that I thought have loop and counter aapproach and loops through the elements and check and update.

  • where clause to see if they contain the null value

    So I've finalized my function but now am having some problems:

    the bl field (or the v_bl parameter) has null values in it. When I run the function using the "Select FH ('ACCESS', NULL, 8675309') From dual; I get a NULL return value because it uses the variable to compare with q.bl and you can not have q.bl = null in a Where clause.

    The main problem is when the parameters are passed, a line can have the same prob and site, but the bl might be different as null, which would give a different lname.


    In where clause I need to have something that will compare the parameter with the bl field. Sometimes it's null sometimes is not, but we need to find the line concerned. I made the "BOLD" in the question police

    Here are two possible lines in the data
    prob bl site lname
    ACCESS Smith 8675309 (null)
    54321 8675309 Johnson ACCESS

    so in theory, if the function is called with the parameters FH ('ACCESS', NULL, 8675306')
    He would return the lname: Smith

    and conversely FH ("ACCESS", "54321 ', 8675309") would return Johnson

    Here's the function

    create or replace
    Function FH
    (v_prob IN varchar2, v_bl IN varchar2, v_site IN varchar2)
    RETURN varchar2
    AS
    v_lname varchar2 (16);

    BEGIN

    S.Lname SELECT INTO v_lname
    Of
    request q
    JOIN THE
    s response
    On
    (q.order = s.order)

    WHERE
    q.BL = v_bl AND - where it is
    q.site = v_site AND
    q.prob = v_prob AND
    s.Lname IS NOT NULL;

    RETURN v_lname;
    END;



    -When I run the FH ('ACCESS', NULL,' 86753) function, it returns an empty value and not the family name

    (1) either you have to say-> q.bl IS NULL

    (2) WHERE the NVL (q.bl-99) = NVL (v_bl-99) - this will be true if q.bl and v_bl both are NULL

  • PersistentStore.getPersistentObject returns the null value?

    I use a random key to retrieve a shape of the object PersistentStore

    persist is PersistentStore.getPersistentObject (KEY);.

    Works fine on the Simulator (OS 5), when I take the code signed to the device (BB OS 5.0 Bold 8900)

    For some reason, it returns null, without exception. Thereafter any API I inoke on PersistentStore / persist returns null without exception persist even when the null value.

    I don't know if it's one thing to eclipse debugger, but even if the debugger shows that objects are null. Controls null applied in the code seems to fail, what does code see these objects as non-null. Pheww! How is it possible.

    In this code still shows up as null, then safetyTable and orderedkeys. However, the value null check in the failure code.

    At a later stage in the code, when I try to access orderedkeys are null again! Are struggling with this problem for two days, all the pointers would be very comfortable.

                        persist = PersistentStore.getPersistentObject( KEY );
                        persistOrderedKeys = PersistentStore.getPersistentObject(KEY_ORDERED_KEYS);

    Point formula should not be issue of database. And insert the value in the result column in the database is not good idea.
    Then, if you want to save it. create the database result item and write trigger (When-validate-point) on amount and filed rates and the trigger code, write

    :result:=:amount*:rate;
    

    To display the result on the form, create the database no item and change the formula property and write the formula.

  • How to convert the Null value to 0 after the outer join?

    Hello guys

    My requirement is in fact 2 of outer join tables (that's how), and I got the outer join works very well, so in my report, I have values null of measures in another table of facts as a result of the outer join...

    Is there a way I can convert these nulls to 0?

    I realized that the null value is not stored in the table, it is just following the outer join because the NULL do not match records in other... So by default, I'm expected to get NULL values...

    Is there way to present these nulls to 0?

    Thanks a lot for your advice

    In response, the syntax will be:

    Here's a generic function to calculate the average of a group of non-empty fields.

    This function takes two parameters: an array of domain names at average and a Boolean value specifying if the function should return an empty string if the result was zero.

    function averageFields (fields, blankIfZero) {}

    var total = 0;

    var n = 0;

    for (var i in fields) {}

    var f = this.getField (fields [i]);

    v var = f.valueAsString;

    If {(v)

    total += (+ v);

    n ++ ;

    }

    }

    var returnValue = (n == 0)? ' ': total/n;

    If (blankIfZero & returnValue = 0) returnValue = "";

    return returnValue;

    }

    You can set this function at the level of the document, and then call it as follows (starting a custom calculation script, in this case):

    Event.Value = averageFields (["field1", "Field2", "Field3"], false);

  • v ('P101_USERNAME') the null value in the message authentication process

    We hit a problem after the deployment of our application APEX 3.1 on the customer site. The value of v('P101_USERNAME') in our message authentication process is zero on our customer site, but not in our development environment.
    -The two environments are 11.1.0.6 DB with APEX 3.1.0.00.32 on windows.
    -P101 being the default login screen.
    -l' user connects using a custom authentication scheme that ends with success.
    v ('APP_USER') has the correct value (in uppercase)
    -We receive "ERR-10740 unable to perform custom processes post-auth" because an unexpected exception is triggered due to a null user name that we can detect using debugging PL/SQL code.
    -export the application and the source code are the same.

    The message authentication process refers to v('P101_USERNAME') which is then transmitted to a couple other processes, including a Web service call and a search function as active directory. The reason why we use it is because it is not transformed to UPPERCASE as with APP_USER - we need spend the exact user name in our post processing of authentication that can be mixed case.

    For some reason, it's just no longer works in a different environment - that someone has encountered this problem? I read on a question referring to v ('APP_USER') after a 3.1 update, but it doesn't seem to be a solution.

  • test for the null value to IN request (null, 'a ', ' b', 'c')

    Hello

    Oracle 10.2.0.4

    I think the following query is incorrect, in my opinion. (there is an index on the collar, but NULL values are ignored?

    SELECT COUNT (*) < table > where col in (null, 'a ', ' b', 'c')

    It works (no errors) and forth fast enough.

    However, I think the correct query would

    SELECT COUNT (*) < table > where IS NULL or neck neck ('a', 'b', 'c')

    It takes a lot of time. As I see it, he performs a table scan for part of the value NULL and use the index for the rest, as the index cannot be used for NULL values.

    I would appreicate an explanation on this matter, particularly why Oracle accepts the first query "where col in (null, 'a ', ' b', 'c')" without any problem.

    Thank you

    A null value is not equal to what whatsoever, not even another null value. This is consistent with the definition of the ANSI. For your first request is not what you think it does, even if it is not syntactically incorrect.

    The second query is correct. If you want to use an index, you must create a bitmap index (which requires Enterprise Edition licenses), because they do not include the values NULL, unlike B * tree index.

    Whenever you have any questions, please post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for some examples of data and the results desired from these data.
    Explain how you get these results from these data.
    Always say what version of Oracle you are using (for example, 11.2.0.3.0).

    I thought of her analysis in separate using substr and instr chains, but I don't know if that's an exaggeration or not.

    Depending on your needs, you may need to do this.

    As you say, REPLACE replaces all occurrences. There is no way to say (for example) to change only the first.
    REGEXP_REPLACE, is much more flexible. There is no option for giving a specific occurrence, but you won't even have this feature. You want maybe just something like

    REGEXP_REPLACE ( '%s is the %s I am referring to'
                , '(.*)%s(.*)%s(.*)'
                , '\1This\2string\3'
                )
    

    Depends on your data and your needs.
    Are the new values (e.g. 'This' and 'chain') fixed, or if they can change from one line to the other?
    You will always have 2 (or certain known number) of ' %s in the original string?
    '%' Always report something that needs to be replaced? If not, how can you tell when he does and when it doesn't?
    Of ' always come right after "%"? If this is not the case, what are the possibilities, and what the different characters?
