• How to use the escape character in the update statement.

  Hi all
  
  I'm trying to update using the following table update statement in sql, but whenever he asks me to enter the value 'and' below sql.
  

  UPDATE xyz_xyz
     SET NAME = 'ABC & PQR'
   WHERE ID = (SELECT ID
                 FROM abc_abc
                WHERE NAME = 'C & PQR');

  Please let me know how to use escape character syntax or let me know if there is no alternative.
  
  Thank you
  Vishwas

  If you use SQL * more then use SET DEFINE OFF.

  Also, you can do something like this

  UPDATE xyz_xyz
     SET NAME = 'ABC' ||'&' || 'PQR'
   WHERE ID = (SELECT ID
                 FROM abc_abc
                WHERE NAME = 'C' ||'&' ||'PQR');
  

• Deactivation of the PowerShell escape character

  I need to use Get-VMGuestNetworkInterface on about 100 mV.  They are members of domain created from the same template with the same local administrator account.  Unfortunately, the local administrator password using the 'character.  The "character is the PowerShell escape character.  The escape character will not allow itself be included with a string value, so when I try to pass the parameter - GuestPassword, it does not include the "character, the password is incorrect, and the authentication will fail.  Anyone know who to use the "character in a string literal?

  Depends on hwo you pass the string between apostrophes, the backtick didn't need to be escaped (' pass'word ').

  Quotation marks, use the back-slash ("past" word")

• UTL_HTTP parameter with escape character

  Hi guys

  We implement our database to send SMS via a footbridge and to have a little problem with parsing the message to the htl_http package. We use the script below to send SMS

  DECLARE
      HTTP_REQ      UTL_HTTP.REQ;
      HTTP_RESP     UTL_HTTP.RESP;
      URL_TEXT      VARCHAR2(32767);
      URL VARCHAR2(2000);
      
      SMS_MSG VARCHAR2(160) :='This is a test message sent from Oracle Database';
      
  BEGIN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE(1000000);
      
      URL := 'http://mysmsgateway/alerts/api/web2sms.php?username=test&password=test&to=9999555555&sender=ORASMS&message='||SMS_MSG;
           
      UTL_HTTP.SET_HEADER(HTTP_REQ, 'User-Agent', 'Mozilla/4.0');
      HTTP_RESP := UTL_HTTP.GET_RESPONSE(HTTP_REQ);
  
      -- Process Request
      LOOP
          BEGIN
              URL_TEXT := null;
              UTL_HTTP.READ_LINE(HTTP_RESP, URL_TEXT, TRUE);
              DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(URL_TEXT);

                  WHEN OTHERS THEN EXIT;
          END;
      END LOOP;
  
      UTL_HTTP.END_RESPONSE(HTTP_RESP);
  END;
  

  Now our problem is, while the SMS is received, we get just 'this' which is the first word of the variable SMS_MSG. It is because of the management of escape character, we believe. How to "escape" this problem?

  Any suggestions?

  Kind regards

• Before escape character point in the dn entry after provisioning OID

  Our users IOM are automatically provisioned to OID using OID box connector. Everything works well except this issue.
  
  When the value of "User login" IOM contains the character (called BILLY. (BOB), the dn entry in OID is created with an escape character (dn: uid = BILLY\.) BOB, cn is users, dc = abc, dc = com).
  
  Example:
  'User Login' IOM = BILLY. BOB
  :
  :
  OID entry created as
  DN: uid is BILLY\. BOB, cn is users, dc = abc, dc = com
  First name: Billy
  UID: BILLY. BOB
  CN: Billy Bob
  :
  :
  
  Note that the uid does not get the escape character, only the dn value is getting affected.
  
  Thanks in advance!

  You must remove. in the definition of research, which comes with STANDARD connector.

• escape character must be the string of length 1 (error ORA-01425)

  Hi all!
  
  I get this error message (SQL error: ORA-01425: escape character must be the string of length 1) when querying an oracle 9i database with:
  
  SELECT * FROM table WHERE column LIKE '%' ESCAPE ' \';
  
  Bar which makes it a double backslash (included with apostrophes) would solve the problem, however, with this change, the request is more executable in a 10g database.
  
  Is there a way to make the executable SQL above (with a single backslash escape) code in both (and latest) versions, without changing it? Maybe a server definition database that could solve this problem...
  
  Suggestions for the problem described are greatly appreciated!
  
  Thank you

  col2 NVARCHAR2 (100)

  OK, you should have mentioned before using unicode ;)

  However, should not always identical fields be treated identically in any database?...

  Yes, they should :(

  In any case the escape string should obviously be treated as unicode so the right way, I guess, would be

    select * from mytable where col2 like N'%' escape N'\'; 
  

  Note the front N ' \' to make the unicode string.

• Using the "character in a be executed the command (EMM)

  Hello

  I ran against a little challenge construction of a function on a menu based EMM.

  I would like to have a user to change the number dialed in a chat script, but the script of cat command uses the character "in his order.

  The same character "is also used to mark the beginning and the end in the and the .

  When the execution of the function, it gives an error message indicating return: TCL EMM error: extra characters after the end-winding

  Which is weird because there are a lot of "in the command line and, normally, you can put multiple lines in a single ExecCommand command - or ConfigCommand line to mark the beginning and end of a single line of command."

  "According to the script language TCL, you can write the character"-"or -" but neither one of them circled to make it work.

  The ConfigCommand I want to run looks like this:

  "no internet chat script" "internet chat script ' ' ' ATDT * 98 * 2 #" TIMEOUT 60 CONNECT»

  Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

  I'm just stuck with it.

  Kind regards

  Instead of using IOSConfigCommand, use EmbeddedTCL.  For example:

  ios_config "no chat-script internet" {chat-script internet "" "ATDT*98*2#" TIMEOUT 60 CONNECT}

• Query of queries (QofQ) escaped character problem

  Hi all
  
  I am trying to run a query or queires (QofQ) and I do a LIKE comparison which finds support ([]) characters in the string, but ColdFusion ignores the media. How can I escape the character of support? So far, I couldn't escape the percentage based on the Docs sign live ColdFusion. The error message I get when I run the query below is:
  
  «"" "Invalid escape sequence.»»»" Pairs of valid sequence for this escape character are: "------%", or "\".
  
  This is the query:

  SELECT *.
  OF GetLogs
  WHERE Description LIKE '\[User:#UserID#\]% %' ESCAPE ' \'
  < / cfquery >
  
  Thanks for your help!

  What of it?

• Search by prefix in the escape character

  Hello experts,

  I'm using Oracle 11.2.03.  I have a clue of context and I want to be able to precede the generic search on escape characters.

  For example

  Select * from indvl where contains (indvl_nm, {abc} %)

  It only gives me abc and no abcd

  Note :{} charchter are also defined as the character of printjoin for my index

  As far as I know, you cannot combine a sentence with surrounded by {} with wildcard characters escape sequence.  However, you can combine the preface escape characters by------with wildcards.  I'm guessing you're automatically encompassing all with {and}.  I suggest that you not do this and escape individual characters instead.  For more convenience, you can write a function for this.  I presented a demo below with a few characters.  You can expand that to include more characters.  If there are a lot of things that you want to automatically escape, then you might want to use regexp_replace instead of replace it.

  Scott@orcl12c > create table indvl

  2 (indvl_nm varchar2 (30))

  Table created.

  Scott@orcl12c > insert all

• How to use the character (%) wild for php/DW research?

  I am trying to create a search engine that searches in the database to print documents on the basis of several criteria defined by the user.

  DW uses sprintf() to compile the MySQL query.

  I have my attempts to find a portion of a string that should come back to something like -'% xyz %' to give results like "xyzabc abc'"

  But as sprintf uses %s defined by the user to take the values of '%' is a special character.

  I tried to use: % s %%, / % s/%, \%%s\%, but nothing works. There is no error, but the php page opens not at runtime.

  How to find a sub string in the database using the query written in php using sprintf?

  All Solutions?

  As you have discovered, sprintf() using %s as a placeholder for the string. The % wild card must be in your channel. It is an example of my book for Dreamweaver CS4:

  $query_getAuthors = sprintf("SELECT first_name, family_name FROM authors  WHERE first_name LIKE %s OR family_name LIKE %s ORDER BY family_name ASC",     GetSQLValueString("%" . $colname_getAuthors . "%", "text"),     GetSQLValueString("%" . $colname2_getAuthors . "%", "text"));
  

  Two instances of %s in the sprintf() function are replaced by the values passed to GetSQLValueString(). In both cases, the wildcard character is concatenated to the variable passed as the first argument of GetSQLValueString().

• Add e-mail aliases using the character '+' is not allowed

  I am trying to add an alias to my gmail account. Using the normal e-mail account to send and receive works fine.

  I've read and tested this post on gmail you can use '+' followed by a string in your e-mail address to facilitate filtering, explains: http://gmailblog.blogspot.nl/2008/03/2-hidden-ways-to-get-more-from-your.html

  Now, I want to also add a variant of my e-mail with a character '+' in it as an alias for I can use it as a ' answer to ", but thunderbird doesn't let me because he thinks that it is an invalid e-mail address. As noted in the article is not an illegal address, and I can confirm receipt e-mail on this topic.

  Tools (alt menu
  + (T) > account settings
  Click on the name of the account and click on identity management.
  Select Add

  Insert the e-mail to use, as well as name, address etc.
  Save it.
  Select it in the window of writing. That's all there is to it.

  Maybe you used a comma instead of a period in the address. I have this all the time.

• How to make a star of five strong points by using the character map?

  I can't get a solid star of five points of the "character map". I tried all the fonts that have a star, and when I paste, I get a different, but no star character. I tried the system, to get the characters using the 'ALT KEY' and the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard, but, here again, when I type the code for a solid Star (9733 in the list that I got on the internet) a different character appears. I have Vista and use Firefox. I tried to use 'IE' but still have the same problem. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated. Thank you

  Hello Cor - el, I thank you for your help. I used some of your information, and after going to different websites, I found one that had a small application that allows me to insert the star.

• QML Javascript escape character

  I am trying to use a regular expression in javascript in a QML file function, as follows:

  function parseAndHandleHyperlinks(inString)
  {
      result = inString.replace(\[.*\]\(.*\)/g, "");

  Each backslash is stressed and has the following error: "mismatched of entry"------"expected LF.

  The backslashes are used to escape their characters, so I can match the literals [,], (en)

  p.s. the function does nothing, just trying to make QML accept my regular expression at the present time.

  That doesn't look like a regular expression valid in JavaScript. You're not missing a leader / (slash) to go with the final just before the 'g '?

• Add numbers of sequential endnote using a character style

  Hello

  I wonder if anyone knows of a script that could insert numbers of endnote sequentially to each instance of a character style.

  Our editing process, we use 'hard' note numbers that are based on numbers of items of the text. When the editing process is finished, we go through and manually change the sequential numbers. The endnote numbers have a special character style, so such a script would go to the first instance of this style of character, replace the characters by '1', then go to the next occurrence of the character style and replace the characters by '2' and so on.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Alicia Dole

  A standard operation. In the third line, replace "number of hard endnote" with the name of the character style that you use for notes end.

  app.findGrepPreferences = null;
  app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '\\d+';
  app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = 'Hard endnote number';
  found = app.documents[0].findGrep();
  for (i = found.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
    found[i].contents = String (i+1);
  }
