SQL to search for GENERIC characters

Nice day

Hi MASTER had a small problem

got a table

DIESEL_DETAIL
___________

DATE_PO
PLATE_NO
DRIVER-NAME

I NEED TO LOOK FOR HERE IS MY REQUEST

SELECT * FROM DIESEL_DETAIL
WHERE TO_CHAR(DATE_PO,'DD-MON-YYYY')
FROM: P1_FROM
AND: P1_TO
AND PLATE_NO =: P1_PLATE_NO
OR DRIVER-NAME =: P1_DRIVER_NAME

ITS WORKING PERFECTLY BUT IT MUST HAVE A VALUE
WHAT I WANT TO IS WHAT HAPPENS IF THE USER ENTERED NO VALUE
IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY RUN THE SEARCH WITH GENERIC CHARACTERS

IS THERE A POSSIBLE WAY?

GOOD DAY MASTER THANK YOU...

Hi Mike,.

Here it is... You can use the NVL() to achieve this goal for the treatment of NULL values.

If the entry is not specified, you can assign values by default if the entry by the user truncates to null...

SELECT *.
OF diesel_detail
WHERE TO_CHAR (date_po, 'DD-MON-YYYY') BETWEEN NVL (: p1_from,)
To_char (date_po,
"MON-DD-YYYY".
)
)
AND NVL (: p1_to,)
To_char (date_po,
"MON-DD-YYYY".
)
)
AND plate_no = NVL (: p1_plate_no, plate_no)
OR driver-name = NVL (: p1_driver_name, driver-name);

In above query, if the entry for: p1_from is not specified,
By default, the entry is TO_CHAR (date_po, 'DD-MON-YYYY') and the query is executed.

Thank you
Shankar

How do I search for special characters in the Explorer?

I have a collection of 1000 + files in an FTP folder. The problem is that about 50 of them contain & symbols in their file names. I need to find and delete all the files containing the symbol '& '. I thought it should be easy enough to search for the symbol '&' File Explorer. However, in doing so, nothing happens. It returns all files. Is it possible to search for special characters like '&' in the file Explorer?

Type filename: * & in the Explorer search field, it finds all files where appears the & character in the file or file name extension.

What is the secret for including things like - mark, equal to, oblique, oblique, braces, brackets, single quote, double quote and so on...?

Indexing is not necessary for the search function. It is only necessary for the use of the libraries feature and to be able to search for files in the search/ORB box start and also to allow to change the options to search for specific file types. In any case, I did a test earlier - apparently Windows 7 search search files for all the texts present xml content. I found this link which describes the hoops to jump through. We must be able to search xml files in plain text to the search, not the default filter special MS to xml files.

It helps if you post a copy and paste of effective enforcement of the full code, including the results. You posted an index of context with the query with catsearch, which requires a ctxcat index. You must be a context clue that you did not post and did not add your lexer to. The following table shows it returns all the lines of 3 as planned using either a with catsearch ctxcat index or a context index with contains, as long that you include the lexer in your create index. You must also be sure that the index is created, or synchronized after inserting or updating data.

GREP search for all characters

(Indesign CS6, Windows 7)
For a book that I'm layout, the author marked text that should be indented like this:
[indent]
< paragraph >
< paragraph >
...
[indent]
(Of course, in an ideal world, the Publisher would have charged the author simply use a word for this function.)
I made a for the text indented paragraph style. I wanted to replace it in one shot, GREP search:
(\[indent\]) ([.| \s|\r]+) (\[/indent\]) the middle part meaning one or more (+) of any character (.) or space or paragraph return. Replace it with:
$2 and the paragraph style (getting rid of the markers at the same time).
Nothing has been found. I changed it to (\[indent\])([\w|\s|\r]+) (without the end marker [indent], to see what would happen) and now he found something - but stop at the first mark of punctuation (only reaching no not the end marker). So I tried to fill in punctuation: (\[indent\)] ([\w|\.|-, |: | \s|\r]+]) and each time more was found (by the way,------. here means a complete stop). If it works more or less.
The problem is, is a technical manual and most equations etc are in the text that should be indented, so there are a lot of characters who are neither letter or number. And of course you can not call it a clean solution.
It's the kind of string search and replace I would also use on many other projects. Does anyone know a better solution? Now, 'any character' doesn't seem to work, there at - it a code for "any character being not not a letter or number? Thanks in advance.

Try (? s)(\[indent\]\r?) (.+?) (\[/indent\]\r?)

The (? s) runs on single line mode so it can be found through several paragraphs and the (. +?) is the shortes match between the tags. I've included returns after the tags, if there has, based on your example that the tags are separate paragraphs. If they are at the end of the paragraph that you want to keep, remove the \r? to avoid losing the paragraph breaks.

Search for wildcard characters
Hello

Can we use the wildcard search in Berkeley Java Edition. The joker that interests me is to search a text field that begin with the specific prefix. For example, in SQL query can find all text that start with the prefix "XML", by specifying the lookup key to be "XML %". Can it be done in Berkeley I if I use a Direct persistence layer?
Thank you

Samir
Samir,

If you search the forum for 'DPL query', you will find the wire this query is possible using DPL? which is the same kind of question. In particular, if you read the white paper recommended (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/pdf/performing%20queries%20in%20oracle%20berkeley%20db%20java%20edition.pdf) you can see an example of the query, that you ask the subject.

Search for accented characters
Hi all

We have a column that has the focus. But when we do research we would like to use no accented characters.
For example, when we type in "ALKARAKPEI", we get "ALKARAKPEI" and "ALKARAKPEI".

ALKARAKPEI = > ALKARAKPEI
DIKPOR = > DIKPOR

Please give me some suggestions and ideal...

Thanks in advance!
Maybe
```
SQL>  select *
  from (select 'ALKARAKPËI' str from dual)
 where convert (str, 'us7ascii') = 'ALKARAKPEI'
/
STR
----------
ALKARAKPËI
1 row selected.

Search for combining diacritical characters in Unicode

Unicode allows to put accents different characters using diacritical signs. I'm learning Russian, and put accents on words makes a big difference. I use Alt-0769 (301 to hexacimal) to put in the combination acute accent marks, and I put these accents on any character. My problem is that I can't find any way to make Windows Search deal with these characters. In Unicode, a typical accented vowel will be represented by two Unicode characters. I need a way to get these characters in the search string. If I try to use Alt + 0769, the search box is a hollow box, but am not actually for her. Microsoft has a way to include Unicode characters less commonly used in search strings? Anyone found a way to search for words containing combining diacritics?

How can I search for characters with no applied font?

I have a document with many Chinese mixed with the English. Unfortunately the conversion of the Word always remove part of the formatting of the characters. It's time consuming to manually find a square with a cross boxes, anyone knows a method to search for characters with no police?
There seems to be no option in find/replace to choose no font / no as it does with the paragraph styles and character styles.

BY SPECIFYING THE NUMBER OF IDENTICAL CHARACTERS WHEN SEARCHING FOR A STRING

Hey everybody,
built-in indexOf() finds a character "." in the string "1.2.3." If value == 1.
It looks nothing if the value == 0 or 2 or a number greater than 2.
var txt:String = '1.2.3.';
var: output string = String (this);

If (txt.indexOf(".") == 1)
{
trace (output); [object MainTimeline]
}
The must be a simple method to specify the number of characters "." When you search for the string "1.2.3.".
For example, if there are 2 characters "." in the string "1.2.", then run it through a statement but if contains no 2 characters "." then do nothing.
There is a built-in function called contains , but it is mainly used in XML.
indexOf() resembles codes javascript unstable, one of these framework which unixers hatred.

You don't have to use regular expressions to determine how many points is in the string. Use of split and read the length:

var txt:String = '1.2.3.';

trace (txt. Split("."). (length);

Search for several words in SQL

I want to be able to search on multiple words in sql. If someone entered in the field search for several words like "industry of corn for biofuels". I want to return all records that has one of these words in them. Here is my code: (brings back only the sentence and not individual words in the database)
and)
path as < cfqueryparam cfsqltype = "cf_sql_varchar" value="%#arguments.searchterms#%" > "
or
the body as < cfqueryparam cfsqltype = "cf_sql_longvarchar' value="%#arguments.searchterms#% ">"
or
Summary as < cfqueryparam cfsqltype = "cf_sql_varchar" value="%#arguments.searchterms#%" > "
or
the author as < cfqueryparam cfsqltype = "cf_sql_varchar" value="%#arguments.searchterms#%" > "
)

something like this:

Select somefields

of sometables

where 1 = 1

and

(

or concat (Field1, Field2, etc.) like ' %#word #% ".

or 1 = 2

)

Just to let you know, it will be slow. Also, if one of these fields accept NULL values, you will have to deal with that.

Hello

Here's one way:

VARIABLE target_words VARCHAR2 (50)
EXEC: target_words: = 'HORN ARQUANT ';

WITH all_targets AS
(
SELECT "%" | REGEXP_SUBSTR (: target_words)
, '[^ ]+'
1
LEVEL
)
|| '%' AS target
, (MAX LEVEL) (AS target_cnt)
OF the double
CONNECTION OF REGEXP_SUBSTR (: target_words)
, '[^ ]+'
1
LEVEL
) IS NOT NULL
)
SELECT DENSE_RANK () OVER (ORDER BY t.ROWID) n
MIN (t.nom) AS the name
T
JOIN all_targets a ON ' ' | t.Nom
|| ' ' AS a.target
GROUP BY t.ROWID
HAVING COUNT (DISTINCT a.target) = MIN (a.target_cnt)
ORDER BY n
;

This assumes that the words in the target string are unique, that is, it will not be entered as "HORN HORN HORN". It's not serious if the t.nom words are not unique; in other words, there is no problem if name = "MS 16 MM HORN ARCHING HORN HORN".

It is not that there is something unique about each line in t. If t is a real table, then it should really have a primary key, but, otherwise, it will automatically have a unique ROWID (which is what I assumed above). If t is not a real table and lacks a unique key, you can use the ROW_NUMBER analytic to assign a unique number to each line. If t is something unique for each line, yopu should use it instead of ROWID.

Using synonyms in the search for name

Hello

I try to use synonyms in an oracle namesearch. Set up a seqarch name as in the second example described in the developer's guide to the oracle text to http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E18283_01/text.112/e16594/search.htm application

Now the name, for I am looking can hold one '&', for example 'B & V '.

I would like to find this text when I enter "B & V", B & V' or 'B and V.

I found a thread on how to set up a thesaurus with synonyms for '&' and 'and' to 'and' and ampersand or special characters

Now I'm wondering how to combine this.

Thanks for the help in advance,
Dirk

Your change was correct and it works. For reserved words in the braces enclosing aims to tell Oracle Text as text rather than apply the special meaning they have as reserved words. Since "und" is not a reserved word, it didn't need to be escaped by placing braces. When you set "&", then "und" synonymously as you did the search for 'B und V' correctly found "B and V, as in the modified below demo. In this particular case, the search might work without applying the format_string, but you need to keep it in the query so that it is applied to these values in need, for example, if you searched for "B & V' or 'B & V".

I want to search for messages, but the search box wants rather Google search!

In Xubuntu 14.04 24.5.0 Thunderbird. Your help indicates that the research above the filter box will search for messages but mine happens only with a Google search on the web!

When you type less than 3 characters in the search box, the option is to Google search. Less than 4 characters, the options are Google and the corresponding entries in the address book. Less than 5 and the options include "the Messages mentioning: asdf" and Google. For example, you must enter a string of at least 4 characters.
