• By selecting only normal characters of the column data

  Hello
  
  We have a table column that stores the names of party and this could be in non-English characters. If anyone knows how just to select the regular lines of English character of the table using a select query and does not include rows that have non-English characters?
  
  Thank you

  Thank you Frank and Chris,

  Group names can have numbers, parentheses, commas (mostly address is attached). I wanted to so all English characters. Whatever in another language can be eliminated. I think in your examples, it considers that the alphabets.

  So spaces, punctuation, numbers and symbols like '%' is all right; is this fair?

  In this case:

  SELECT     *
  FROM     table_x
  WHERE     CONVERT ( party_name
            , 'US7ASCII'
            )     = party_name
  OR      party_name     IS NULL          -- If wanted

• How to set the content of the column for lines of automatic separation

  Hello guys,.
  
  I have a problem with the column width and the content of column in a standard report. In the report are hugh entries that are not interrupted by a space character. I put my column width to a special value by usingen "style css: display block; Width: 300px; ». Now the problem is that some of the entries in the column with a longer width that the column width is set. Then they overlock the entries in the column next to them.
  
  My question is: How to set the column lines of automatic content break after a certain number of characters?
  
  After searching for a couple of websites and discussion thread, I found maybe a reference to the solution. I hope that it helps you to give me an answer.

• Windows 7 Media Player 12.0.7601: album art don't is not displayed even if the column is selected and album art is saved on the drive

  I just loaded all my music from my Windows XP system on my Windows 7 system.  Each album has album art that appears in "now playing".  But when I opened an album in library view and list titles, album art is not displayed even if she is among the columns selected to be shown.  All other columns appear and disappear depending on whether I choose them, but the album art is not.

  How to display album art?  Please don't tell me to switch to playback.  It is very unpleasant for me.  Even if the album art is displayed there, the space that is takes 2/3 of the screen to keep a small image of the cover of the album.  The list of receives securities only 1/3 remaining, so there is not enough space to display more than the name of the track, rating and length.  In addition, I don't want to see the sides, but they show that even though I have deselected this column.

  That said, I do not know if all the of that formatting is in the request or if it is made by the executable SQL more himself.

• Need help with the analytical function select maximum and minimum of the results of the column

  Hey there OTN.

  I have an interesting application that I was hoping you would be able to help me with. I have a requirement to conditionally select the max and min of a column in bi-editor and since my editor works from an OBIEE analysis, I need store MAX and MIN of the column values in separate columns to match with. See the example below. You will notice that there are 4 stores including today's sales. I must have OBIEE through all the results of the column for sales, then choose the max of the dataset object. I can't use MAX here because he will choose the MAX of the line which will return only sales of this line. Instead, one must analyze all sales results and choose the appropriate column. Any idea on how to do this in OBIEE/publisher? Or is this not possible.

  Day	Store	Sales	Sales of MAX	Sales MIN
  05/11/15	Store 1	5000	8000	1000
  05/11/15	Store 2	7500	8000	1000
  05/11/15	Store 3	1000	8000	1000
  05/11/15	Store 4	8000	8000	1000

  I'm waiting for your answers. Thanks in advance!

  PS: I will always mark messages that are useful and eventually mark it as correct answer if we come to a resolution!

  See you soon.

  You can't do the same thing with RANK ("dirty")?

  Rank ("dirty") = 1: the max value in the result of sales

  RANK (-1 * "Sales") = 1: the min in the result of sales value

  I guess you can and then format the cells based on these values, where a value of 1 is the max or min according to the RANKING formula you used...

• Select the column name when the value = something

  Is there a way to select the column name when there is a specific value in it?

  As follows:

  COLUMN2 VARCHAR2 (50).

  Column3 varchar2 (50)

  );

  insert into abc123 values ('yes', 'Yes', 'No');

  INSERT INTO ABC123 VALUES ('no ',' no', 'No');

  insert into abc123 values ('yes', 'Yes', 'Yes');

  SELECT CASE WHEN COLUMN1 = 'Yes' THEN - the name of the column would be here somehow?

  WHEN COLUMN2 = 'Yes' THEN - the name of the column would be here somehow?

  WHERE Column3 = 'Yes' THEN - the name of the column would be here somehow?

  Another null

  Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT for the sample data.

  Don't forget to post the exact results you want from these sample data.  If the results depend on the parameters you want to pass a run time, then give a few different examples, with the the desired results of each.

  You can hardcode the values you want, such as the column names in a query.  For example:

  SELECT CASE WHEN column1 = 'Yes' THEN 'Column1' END like y1

  CASE WHEN column2 = 'Yes' THEN 'Column2' END like y2

  CASE WHEN Column3 = 'Yes' THEN 'Column2' END like y3

• Can I use * and the list of the column names in a select query

  PLSQL again.  Can I use * and the list of the column names in a select query, i.e. Select *, col1, col2 from Mytable.  When I do that my questions tend to the bomb.  Can do in other databases.

  Thank you

  Hi, Mike,.

  If there is something else in the more SELECT clause *, then * must be qualified with a table name or alias.

  For example:

• There is no possibility of ambiguity in the SELECT clause because any identifier in the SELECT clause must be a database column name

  Hello

  Doc Oracle says the following on the identifiers in the SELECT in PL/SQL clause: there is no possibility of ambiguity in the SELECT clause because any identifier in the SELECT clause must be a database column name.

  If we assume that only valid column identifier are allowed in the SELECT clause.

  But I tried the following:

  DECLARE
  toto NUMBER := 10;
  tata NUMBER := 0;
  BEGIN
  SELECT toto INTO tata FROM employees WHERE employee_id = 101;
  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(tata);
  END;
  /
  

  And there is no error telling me that toto is not a column in the employees table and the result is the same as: toto: = aunt;

  Won't the doc or did I just miss something?

  You're right that toto is an identifier, but this isn't a column name.  (Of a subquery) column alias are not database of the names of columns either, nor are the names of the user-defined function.

  Also, there is a possibility for ambiguity even if all the names are the database column names.

  Won't the doc or did I just miss something?

  I can't say until I see the doc you're talking about.

  Oracle documentation is sometimes misleading and sometimes just plain wrong.  For each mistake outright example that I saw in the docs of Oracle, there might be 20 cases where the meaning is unclear or misleading and maybe 200 where I just read it wrong.

• place a select query calculation in a different column in the same table

  What I want is to put this result in my application or my calculation (in percentage) in my column "percent" on my table of dgpercentagedatachart vacuum.

  How can I configure this syntax?

  100.00*dgpercentagedatachart.totalcecrating/dgpercentagedatachart.lowestfeederrating as cal

  5.04                         120                          4.2

  To change an existing column in a table, you can use the UPDATE or MERGE, instructions like this:

  UPDATE dgpercentagedatachart

  Percentage of VALUE = 100,00 * totalcecrating

  / lowestfeederrating

  ;

  Noramlly, tables is not redundant columns like this.  If percent can always be calculated from other columns, then it is probably better to calculate at run time and store it in the database, where you will have to be updated each time the columns it depends on change.  You can use a view to avoid having to encode them the calculation.

  If you really don't want a column that can be calculated in the same lines other columns, then use a virtual column (if you use Oracle 11 or higher).

  I hope that answers your question.

  If this isn't the case, please post a small example of data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) for all of the tables involved and also publish outcomes from these data.

  If you ask on a DML statement, such as UPDATE, the sample data will be the content of the or the tables before the DML, and the results will be the State of the or the tables changed when it's all over.

  Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.

  Always say what version of Oracle you are using (for example, 11.2.0.2.0).
