• First HP: how to enter a number complex, using single quotes

  Hello

  This is probably a stupid question, but how do you enter a charager apostrophe on the first HP RPN mode?

  I read the section in the guide of the user on enteringer a complex numbers in RPN mode.    Using (3.4) works fine, but I'm curious to know how to enter using the method indicated in the doc:

  "In RPN mode, complex numbers must be in single quotes and require an explicit multiplication.
  For example, 3-2 * i'. "

  In short... you can't.  The channels are channels, and SQL and PL languages dictate that the string literals are provided within single quotes.

  I don't see how trying to retrieve more than 200 records of employees in the select statement means that you must get rid of the quotes.

• Using single quotes with MaxL in batch scripts

  I have the following MaxL, I need to pass to essmsh via a batch script:
  
  run the calculation ' FIX("Member 1") CLEARDATA "member 2"; ENDFIX' on App.Db;
  
  The problem is that the single quotes cause problems when it is passed as a variable in the batch script. However, if I change single quotes to double quotes the batch script is happy but the MaxL is not valid.
  
  Please can anyone suggest how I can get this to work?

  You also try that works

• Generation of single quotes in strings

  Version: 11.2.0.3

  We have a custom stored procedure called GENERATE_STATS and I want to run this procedure for each schema in the comic book as

  exec ('SCOTT', 'BASIC') generate_stats;

  .

  .

  exec ('XXXXXX', 'BASIC') generate_stats;

  -All except XXXXXX is fixed.

  -XXXX is derived rom DBA_USERS

  I want to generate these commands dynamically as

  SQL > SELECT ' exec generate_stats ("' | username |) (', "'BASIC"); from dba_users;

  ERROR:

  To generate the string 'BASIC' . I didn't have to use single quotes 4 as I once did.

  It generated when I placed between her with just two single quotes like that "BASIC");'

  There are a few basic rules I should keep in mind when you try to generate strings with single quotes?

  Hello

  In a string literal, single quotes normally indicate the beginning or the end of the literal.

  If you want to specify a single quote, is to use 2 consecutive single quotes in the literal.  For example, the name of 9 characters O'Higgins could be written in a literal string like this

  'O' Higgins

  ICT that there are 4 single quotes above: 1 to indicate the beginning of the literal string, 2 to represent a single quotation mark in the literal and 1 at the end of the literal.

  If you want a string of characters-1 that contains only a single quote, and then, as you noticed, it was released as 4 of them in a row

  ''''

  If you want to represent the 12 string

  ","BASIC");"

  in a string literal, then you have to put everything in a pair of simple and douuble quotes all quotes that occur in the sting, like this:

  (', "BASIC"); "

  When you asked if there was a rule of THUMB , you were doing a play on words?

  There is a rule of practice. When you use this type of string literal, single quotes always occur in pairs.  You always need a pair to mark the beginning and the end of the literal.  For each single quote representation, you need a pair.  If the string that represents the 12 above string literal contains 4 pairs of single quotes.  I'll write this liteal once again, with the numbers in pairs:

  (', "BASIC"); "

  122 33 44 1

  1 pair surrounds the literal; pairs of 2, 3 and 4 represent single quotes in the literal.

  If ever you have an odd number of single quotes using this notation, then you know that something is wrong.

  It is the older way of the use of single quotes in the string literal.  From Oracle 10, you have the possibility to use Q-notaation as well:

  Q'<', 'basic');="">'

  When you use Q-rating, you can have literals well trained with an odd number of single quotes.  The literal above happens to have 5, 2 that surround the literal.

  See the manual of the SQL language for more info on Q-rating:

  Reading from left to right:
  (1) an encounterred of single quote when you are not already in the string literal means the beginning of a string literal
  (2) a single quote once you've started a string literal could mean the end of the literal string, or (b) a single quote, depending on which is the next character. In this case, the next character is
  (3) if (2) and (3) together are considered a single quotation mark in the string.
  (4) is the same situation as (2), and
  (5) does exactly the same thing (3), so it's another example of option (b).
  (6) is not followed by an another single quote, so it's an example of option (a), end-of-literal.

  Forget not that (lack of Q-rating) single quotes must be in pairs. Quotation marks simple all odd will be the beginning of a literal (as in your example 1) or the second pair that indicates a single quotation mark in the literal (as 3 and 5). What pairs single quotes? Just a reflection of those odd. Each single quote pairs is to be will indicate the end of the literal (as in your example 6), or the beiginning of a pair that represents a single quote in the literal (as 2 and 4).

  It can help to address the problem in this way.
  If you want that the word 'Hello' surrounded by tildes, what would you do? No problem:

  SELECT  '~hello~'
  FROM    dual;
  

  Now how can you change the tilde first a single quotation mark? The tilde is inside a string literal, so you know that you must use single quotes in a row 2. Then remove the first tilde and, instead, put 2 single quotes:

  SELECT  '''hello~'
  FROM    dual;
  

  Now how can you change the tilde to a single quote? The same way, and what you get is

  SELECT  '''hello'''
  FROM    dual;

  A number of things.  When you define a string variable, you must give him a length or default is 1.  You can escape a quote character by doubling it (i.e. two single quotes) or you can use the q rating:

  SQL > tags_set variable varchar2 (100);

  "SQL > exec: tags_set: = '('' musique '');

  PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

  SQL > print tags_set

  TAGS_SET

  --------------------

  ("Music")

  SQL > exec: tags_set: = q '{("music", "Drama")}';

• Insert into DB using SQLservice: can't take the text with single quotes:

  I use Execute sql JDBC service statement.

  I'll explain with simple code:

  insert into mytable (id, desc) values (1, 'this is the document of the customer');

  This works perfectly.

  But if I have apostrophes in the desc-

  insert into mytable (id, desc) values (1, 'this is the document the customer' );

  It is throwing error at a standstill operation errors.

  I know that in Oracle, to escape the single quotes that write us

  insert into mytable (id, desc) values (1, "it is of customer" s document ");

  But, we can not control here in Adobe as the desc is from field on a form when the user enters it.

  I'm guessing that it might be a known issue & can someone tell me the solution.

  Thank you

  KC

  Use a parameter query to avoid this problem.

  insert into mytable (id, desc) values (?,?);

  The two parameters (? brands) can be replaced by actual values using XPATH Expression.

  If you do this, you query runs without raising any errors.

• I can quote a single quote so that I can use it in Replace()

  Hello. How can I quote a single quote so that I can use it in the Replace() function below. I'm trying to name query containing a records '.

  Hello

  String literals are surrounded by single quotes (no quotes).
  To use a single quotation mark in a string literal, use two of them:

  WHERE   INSTR (first_name, '''') > 0
  

  Oacle 10 (and more), you can also use Q-rating:

  WHERE   INSTR (first_name, q'[']') > 0
  

  but you can find this most confusing for literals short containing only a single quote.

• Dynamic processing of single quotes in SQL

  Version: 11.2.0.4

  I'm kinda a beginner when it comes to dynamic SQL.

  I had a condition in which I had to run the following command on all the data files in the DB.

  -Expected results

  change datafile resizing '< Filename >' database 10g;

  The name of file, which is generated dynamically must be in single quotes.

  -Sample data

  create table x (file_name varchar2 (90));

  Insert into x values ('/ u04/oradata/ORCL/system.dbf');

  Insert into x values ('/ u04/oradata/ORCL/sysaux.dbf');

  Insert into x values ('/ u04/oradata/ORCL/users01.dbf');

  I managed to do it using a similair below code. But I had to do several things of trial and error to get this working in reason to get the correct number of single quotes for the string generated for v_sql below. So, I want to rethink the basics.

  declare

  v_sql varchar2 (350);

  Start

  for rec in (select x file_name)

  loop

  v_sql: = "alter database datafile"'| " Rec.file_name | " 'resize 10g;

  -RUN IMMEDIATELY v_sql;

  dbms_output.put_line (v_sql);

  end loop;

  end;

  /

  ALTER database datafile ' / u04/oradata/ORCL/system.dbf' size 10g

  ALTER database datafile ' / u04/oradata/ORCL/sysaux.dbf' size 10g

  ALTER database datafile ' / u04/oradata/ORCL/users01.dbf' size 10g

  PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

  I would like to know the role played by each single quote. I used 8 apostrophes in the V_SQL variable above, and I numbered each single quotation mark as shown below.

  1                        234                 567           8

  |                        |||                 |||           |

  v_sql: = "alter database datafile"'| " Rec.file_name | " 'resize 10g;

  Example of output from the generation of dynamic channels:

  alter database datafile '/u04/oradata/ORCL/users01.dbf' 10g resizing

  1 and 4-> start and end of the string alter database datafile '

  3 > literal single quote of string in red in the example output

  2 > escape 3 (single literal quote of string)

  5 and 8-> start and end of the string ' resize 10 g

  6-> escape 7 (single literal quote of string)

  7 > literal single quote of string in green in the example output

  My asssumptions are correct?

  I would like to write like this.

  declare
     v_sql    varchar2(350);
  begin
    for rec in (select file_name from x)
        loop

  Sorry; It is unclear what you are trying to do, and what you're doing.
  I think the only single-quoptes in m_swhere are those before and after SCOTT:

  DEFINE  m_sWhere = owner='SCOTT'
  

  That's what you need to be able to use this variable in an SQL statement. SQL * more will replace & 1 with its value. If you were typing the statement directly, just type a single before and after SCOTT quote, if you want only a single quote before and after SCOTT in m_swhere. You use 2 single quotes in a row inside string literals, but the string literal only you need here is the literal 5 characters 'SCOTT', containing sound ", a 'C', 'o', two ' t and single quotes to zero."

  MyReport.sql
  OK: SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE & 1
  ERR: dbms_output.put_line ('MyWhere: &1');)

  I am not able to print the where the clause. I already tried to set the where clause with other delimiters (e.g. #SCOTT #) and replace # by ' in the MyReport but failed as well.

  You do not want channels OK: or ERR: in the script.
  Dmbs_output.put_line, like any procedure, only works in PL/SQL.
  If you want to display text in a SQL * more script, use the SQL * FASTER command, like this:

  PROMPT  MyWhere: &1
  

  If you really must use dbms_output.put_line, then you will need to use a string literal, and single quotes can be tricky.
  In Oracle 10 (and more) use Q-rating:

  BEGIN
      dbms_output.put_line ( Q'{MyWhere: &1}' );
  END;
  /
  

  {Quotes will not be a problem unless they occur immediately after a right '}'.

  To print a single quotation mark, use two single quotes (IE he "s to print from) and to print a string to write the string inside the single quotation mark as"Hello Word ".
  You want to print "Hello World" your sql will be

  SELECT '''Hello World'''
     FROM dual;
  

  You get the following error as search oracle of KEYWORD Analyzer after "that a chain is closed using the" quote
