• Question about the Date and TO_CHAR fields

  I ran into a date format today I need to replicate but I don't default with. I work with a based REST webservice that wants its dates and hours of formatting to ' 2009 - 09-29T 17: 00:00 - 04:00 '. When is 2009-09-29 17:00 et. Is there an easy way to reproduce this output in oracle, so I can feed him in the web service?

• function SUBSTRING OBIEE 11g

  Hi I have the following problem:

  I have field: 10/10/2014, I need to turn in 2014.

  I tried to use the substring like: substring ("field". "field" of 4 to 4) but I give the error message: ""

  The formula syntax is not valid.

  [nQSError: 10058] A general error occurred. [nQSError: 43113] The message returned by OBIS. [nQSError: 22020] Locate function does not support the types of non-text. (HY000)

  How can I turn this type of text? I tried to use the cast function, but it does not work, just on hold.

  Please let the front casting apply to string functions because you directly applying the string function under the date column.

  Substring (cast ("field". "field" as varchar (20)) of 4 of 4) "

  Try this...

  A CASE of Simple Expression (where you have an expression just after the CASE keyword and before the first WHEN) only check for equality. To use the inequality operators (such as >) you must use an Expression looked for CASES , such as

• RTF model - region conditional on the text field

  Try to filter certain records based on a report by adding a conditional region. The filters are effective in many areas. All of the following work:
  <? If: EVENT_CLASS_CODE! = 'SETTINGS '? >
  <? If: SEGMENT2! = '6500'? >
  <? If: number (EVENT_ID)! = 1985001? >
  
  However, I'm trying to filter on a longer text field:
  <? If: LINE_DESCRIPTION! =' adding offset depreciation reserve - 25-MAY-12'? >
  
  It is not effective - the filter just doesn't work. I guess it has to do with the length of the field or the existence of spaces. In the end, I need substr this field, but I'm not sure of the syntax to achieve this. I think it should be something like:
  <? If: xdofx:substr(LINE_DESCRIPTION,1,36)! = "Adding offset depreciation Reserve"? >

  Thank you

  Here is an example of how you can do:

  SQL> CREATE TABLE x
    2  AS
    3  SELECT 'SOME50HERE' AS field_x
    4  FROM dual;
  
  Table created.
  
  SQL> SELECT * FROM x;
  
  FIELD_X

  SOME50HERE
  
  1 row selected.
  
  SQL> UPDATE x
    2  SET    field_x =  SUBSTR(field_x,1,4)
    3                 || '75'
    4                 || SUBSTR(field_x,7)
    5  ;
  
  1 row updated.
  
  SQL> SELECT * FROM x;
  
  FIELD_X
  ----------
  SOME75HERE
  

  Basically, it must break your string into three parts:

  1. the foregoing text you want to change.
  2. the text that you want to change.
  3. the part after the text you want to change.

  Then you concatenate them all together.

  If #1 is not a fixed number of characters, you can still use SUBSTR, by searching for the string you want to edit as follows:

  UPDATE x
  SET    field_x =  SUBSTR(field_x,1,INSTR(field_x,'50') - 1)
                 || '75'
                 || SUBSTR(field_x,7)
  ;
  

• Count the number of fields in a record of CSV file

  Hello
  
  Here's my problem. I need to open a CSV file on a directory and to count the number of fields in a record. I can easily read the first record using the package UTL_FILE, something like:
  
  UTL_FILE.fopen (s_remote_dir, s_csv_file, 'R', 32767);
  UTL_FILE.get_line (input_file, buffer_entree);
  
  then I count the number of commas in the buffer in order to get none. fields:
  
  IF buffer_entree IS NOT NULL THEN
  n: = < function that counts the number of commas in a string, buffer_entree >
  END IF;
  
  However, this method will not work If a comma is present within a field, that is to say:
  
  127763, account "TRA", 1001, 34, _ "1007 main St., apt. 798 "_"
  (last field contains a comma)
  
  Please notify.
  
  Kind regards
  M.R.

  Here is an example of regexp Etbins solution:

  SQL> declare
    2     line     varchar2(1000) := '127763, "TRA account", 1001, 34, "1007 main St., apt. 798", 42, "This, and that, and more"';
    3     fields   number;

    6     dbms_output.put_line('Number of fields: '||to_char(fields,'TM9'));
    7  end;
    8  /
  Number of fields: 7
  

  Edit:
  Added the '+ 1', because the number of commas is a less number of fields ;-)

• xdofx:substr and xdofx:instr do not work for variable incontext G1

  Hello
  
  I have a RTF I used variable incontext G1 for a group.
  
  I have to do the substring and instring in a field. When I use xdofx:substr ($G1/field, instr($G1/field,'#1-',0) + 3, instr($G1/field,'#2',1)), I get no value because xdofx:substr does not work for incontext field! I don't know why.
  
  so I used substring(), it works instead of xdofx:substr, but for instring, I studied, can't find anything for this.
  
  Field: "#1 - TEST 0123456789 #2.
  
  If I use substring($G1/field,3,4) - the output will be 'TEST '.
  
  The question is how can I use instring inside substring() to operate for a $G1/field of incontext my code.
  
  Thank you.

  You can use xdoxslt:instr, as in the example

• Arrondissement of time up to 15 min locations

  guys, I would appreciate help on a question that I'm struggling with. I have a field time with, as you might expect, time in format HH24. What I want to do, is to break a time down in 15 minutes sections. IE 4 sections at the time.
  
  
  These sections run A (take for example the time 15:00)) 15:00 - 15:14) 15:15-15:29, C) 15-30-15:44, D) 15:45 - 15:59
  Basically if the current time falls into the section, I want it to be rounded to 15:00, if it falls in the b section, I want it to be rounded to 15:15, grave in round c until 15:30 and D round down at 15:45.
  
  Is it possible, is there a way of nvl or decode to do such a thing?
  
  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  
  Thank you.

• Table of functions and direct requests for NUMBER data types database

  Hello. I call a number of functions table of our Enterprise BI server, and I chose to do this by using direct database requests (I believe you can also call functions table in the physical layer of the repository, but is not what I do). The problem is that whenever I go back any number of the table function which is not a whole number (1.23, for example), BI assigns the INTEGER data type to the field rather than the data type DOUBLE, rounded so my number to the nearest integer. Here is a short example:
  
  Create these 3 database objects:
  
  CREATE or REPLACE TYPE my_row AS OBJECT (my_num NUMBER);
  
  CREATE or REPLACE TYPE my_tab AS TABLE OF THE my_row;
  
  FUNCTION to CREATE or REPLACE my_table_function RETURN my_tab
  PIPELINED IS
  BEGIN
  PIPE ROW (my_row (1.23));
  END;
  /
  
  
  Make this your request at your request Direct to database:
  
  SELECT my_num FROM table (my_table_function);
  
  
  This query returns correctly '1.23' when it is called from the database. In BI, on the other hand, it returns a value of '1' (and the field of labels an INTEGER rather than data type DOUBLE). If at the request of data Direct you change column properties-> data-> decimal from 0 to 2 Format, then it displays is not surprising "1.00". I then tried to change MY_ROW. Data type of MY_NUM by explicitly specifying the precision and no luck. BI still labels this field as an INTEGER. Then I started to try to deceive BI massaging the SQL statement itself. None of the following worked:
  
  SELECT to_number (my_num) as my_num2 FROM table (my_table_function);
  SELECT my_num2 + 0.01 as my_num3 FROM (SELECT my_num - 0.01 AS my_num2 FROM table (my_table_function));
  SELECT to_number (to_char (my_num)) as my_num2 FROM table (my_table_function);
  SELECT to_number (substr (to_char ('x' | my_num), 2)) as my_num2 FROM table (my_table_function);
  
  Now, I found a solution, but I'm surprised that I have to resort to that:
  
  SELECT * FROM (SELECT / * + NO_MERGE * / table my_num (my_table_function));
  
  Is anyone out there knows a better way to do it? The above is a hack in my opinion. :)
  
  Thanks in advance for any input.
  
  -Jim

  Yes, it's really amazing.
  But I got it.

  CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE my_row AS OBJECT (my_num NUMBER(10,2));
  

  and in your SQL:

  SELECT cast(my_num as double precision) as my_num2 FROM table(my_table_function);
  

  I have the good result and I see the numbers after the decimal point.
  Very delicate!
