Variant data type conversion
Hi all
I use VI Scripting in LabVIEW 2010. I need to know the data type of the wire connected to a Terminal. Terminal wire reference gives a property called "Datatype". I thought that this will help me. But he is a variant and how do I actually convert the data to find out the data type. Specifically, I want to make use of data type of cluster. How do I know if the wire is of type cluster?
Thanks for any help.
You want to use the 'GetTypeInfo.vi' VI "LabVIEW 20xx\vi.lib\Utility\VariantDataType\" folder for this!
I would recommend installation of this Package of VI because it adds these features to pallets:

Looking at the example C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\MStudioVS2008\DotNET\Examples\NetworkVariable\Basic\cs\Subcriber.2008, how can I create a subscriber to the network variable and OnDataUpdate for Variant data types?
All tracks will be useful. Thank you.
I solved it by using the correct data type in .NET, for example an sbyte to CVIInt8.

Create another data base of Liquibase changelog: automatic data type conversion
I need to convert the structure of PostgreSQL databases to Oracle. In PostgreSQL, I a postgres database.
In Oracle, I have an empty database in which I want to write to postgres database in PostgreSQL.
Actually, I didn't need the data, only the structure (relationships).
For this, I use Liquibase. I get the changelog of PostgreSQL with the command:
Liquibase.
-driver = org.postgresql.Driver.
--classpath="C:\db_drivers\postgresql-9.3-1102.jdbc3.jar------.
--changeLogFile="./postgresql_changelog.Xml------.
-url = "" jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432 / postgres "\"
-username = schema_name_here.
-password = *.
-logLevel = debug.
-defaultSchemaName = Ms.
generateChangeLog
After that, I try to create objects in the Oracle database:
Liquibase
-driver oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver =
--classpath="C:\db_drivers\ojdbc14.jar".
--changeLogFile="./postgresql_changelog.xml".
--URL="JDBC:Oracle:thin:@ip_here:orabeta".
-username = *.
-password = *.
Update
Does not work: ORA-00902
Here is a fragment of postgresql_changelog.xml:
...
< changeSet author = '(generated) Alexey' id = "1409146335011-53" >
< create table tableName = "TABLE1A" >
< column name = "total_pk" type = 'INT8' >
< forced nullable = "false" / >
< / column >
< column name = "form_fk" type = 'INT8' >
< forced nullable = "false" / >
< / column >
...
I also generate a pure SQL file:
Liquibase
-driver oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver =
--classpath="C:\db_drivers\ojdbc14.jar".
--changeLogFile="./postgresql_changelog.xml".
--URL="JDBC:Oracle:thin:@ip_here:orabeta".
-username = *.
-password = *.
updateSQL > update.sql
Here is a fragment of update.sql:
...
CREATE THE TABLE SCHEMA_HERE. TABLE1A (total_pk form_fk INT8 INT8 NOT NULL,.. .etc);
INSERT INTO SCHEMA_HERE. TABLE1A (ID, $form_id,... etc.)
...
I want to generate the file, in which all the data types correspond to the target database, that is to say I want to create. I can write a simple parser that replace the data types, but this isn't the right solution - can be a lot of data.
It is possible to get changelog from a database and update another database on a different server this changelog RDBMS? I need to get the automatic and Automatic data type conversion generate XML data / SQL output with the data types of target database.
Or maybe there is an option to generate output data types with "abstract"? That is to say with data types that are not in the actual databases, for example, instead of INT8 - whole, etc.
I would be very grateful for the information. Thank you all.
Why not to use pg_dump to extract the schema in a file of script that you can then 'change '?

Problems with the Long data type conversion
With the help of Oracle 11 G.
I have a vision where one of the name of the column is of type long, I need to convert in varchar2. I tried using the to_Lob() function, but this error:
ORA-00932: inconsistent data types: expected - got LONG
I followed this article (step 1), which suggests to use to_lob()
My query is:
I tried to convert it into:select item1, -- this is of type LONG item_vat, price_pc_tot, from xd_item_price_view
I am confused about the "-", why he would expect that? Thanks for watching it.select to_lob(item1) as item1_x, -- this is of type LONG item_vat, price_pc_tot, from xd_item_price_view
>
Sorry mate, just realized that. Yep, this is the one I followed (step 1 using to_lob())
>
It's a case of 'use' along in a query or search.But you can use to_lob as part of creating a new table.

DATE in TIMESTAMP data type conversion
Hello
My question is this:
1. I have a variable of type DATE, which I attribute the value of SYSDATE
2. I want to find * «today» *, truncated to DATEmydatevar DATE:= SYSDATE;
TRUNC function returns the DATE data type. So I get to the point for example 2 *'2010-01-13 00:00:00 ' *.TRUNC (mydatevar, 'DD')
3. I want to assign the value of the point 2, to a variable of type TIMESTAMP
implicitly that will convert the variable DATE to TIMESTAMP.mytimestampvar TIMESTAMP := mydatevar;
Problem: when converting (implicit and explicit conversion with a format mask), I lose hours "00" and "00" minutes and receive something like this: "10 January 13 * 12 *. 00.00.000000000 AM.
Question: How can I convert a DATE to TIMESTAMP keeping the hours and minutes zeros?
Why I need this conversion: I have a table with one "column1" TIMESTAMP column (0) and I take only the rows of the table, where 'column1' is in the range of today 12:00 in the morning until now (what time it is).

It is probably more a function of your NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT and NLS_DATE_FORMAT. For example, your NLS_DATE_FORMAT could be default setup for a HH24 (24 hours) which would report to midnight as hours of "00". However, it seems that your NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT is configured with "HH" format with a Meridian indicator that means 12 hours time.
Your comparisons should use date/timestamp data types anyway, so as long as the input value is correctly converted to date type that shouldn't matter in any case.
You can see what is actually stored by using the DUMP function:
SQL> SELECT DUMP(TO_TIMESTAMP(TO_CHAR(TRUNC(SYSDATE,'DD'),'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM'))) AS TSTAMP 2 , DUMP(TRUNC(SYSDATE,'DD')) AS DT 3 FROM DUAL 4 / TSTAMP DT --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- Typ=187 Len=20: 218,7,1,13,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,0,0,0,0,0 Typ=13 Len=8: 218,7,1,13,0,0,0,0
As you can see the TSTAMP and DT store almost the same values (218,7,1,13), but the TSTAMP has more precision because of fractions of a second.
HTH!

Topology Manager only allows me the conversion to data type of technology to another. SQL Server has a data type BIT. Default is to convert to a CHAR in Oracle. However, it coverts TANK (1) and the interface fails because the data contains "True" or "False" as values. This forces me to change manually (5) tank & then run again. How can I adjust the settings so that the BIT converts char (5) instead of char (1)?
Thank you
Dinesh.Hi dieng
Go to the topology, under Oracle and create a new data type, name char5 for example.
In the text box NAME and CODE OPPOSITE the word "TANK" in the CODE, let's CHAR5 text box
in the text box: CREATE the TABLE SYNTAX and SYNTAX of DATA WRITEBLE of writing type: char (5)
In the tab "Convet to", you can associate the SQL BIT for this new data type.
This help you?

Hello
I have the insert under certain conditions
but get the following error:insert into temp1(no number) SELECT (CASE WHEN TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DDMMYYYY')) BETWEEN TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(START_DATE,'DDMMYYYY')) AND TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(END_DATE,'DDMMYYYY')) THEN NVL(ORG_ID,0) ELSE 0 END) FROM temp2;
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-00932: inconsistent data types: expected TANK got the NUMBER
could you please give hint to resolve this error:
JoshIf your arguments start_date and end_date DATE data type, then you can simply use TRUNC
INSERT INTO temp1(no) SELECT CASE WHEN TRUNC(sysdate) BETWEEN TRUNC(start_date) AND TRUNC(end_date) THEN NVL(TO_NUMBER(org_id),0) ELSE 0 END FROM temp2

MSSQL gateway nvarchar data type conversion
Hello
is there a way how to configure the MSSQL gateway to convert the data type nvarchar MSSQL in varchar2 Oracle instead of nchar? Because when converted to nchar, extra spaces are added as nchar is fixed-length, even if I load the data in varchar2 columns.
Thanks for help
PetraNot sure, but it looks like you're talking about Oracle TG4MSQL V10.
Please be aware that all versions of TG4MSQL until V10.2 were desupported by March 15. Thus no additional code changes is made for V10 and frees up the bridge earlier. Customers have to migrate their gateway to the V11 DG4MSQL product that is now available for many platforms of follow-up.
This DG4MSQL also has a mapping to change nchar/nvarchar/ntext data types, the extract of the manual here:
-> NCHAR NCHAR
NTEXT-> LONG (if the Oracle DB character set = Unicode. Otherwise, it is not supported)
NVARCHAR-> NVARCHAR
Nvarchar (max)-> LONG (if the Oracle DB character set = Unicode)Thos V11 gateways are certified with Oracle V9.2.0.8 database versions, 10.1.0.5 and 10.2.0.3 with a compatibility patch but in most applied to the database. This patch is already included in the 10.2.0.4 patches group.
Database v11 works right out of the box. -
I have a simple problem.
I have a string type 2D chart. The array is an array with the column names and the lines which are numbers.
I want to extract the lines, but I want them out in the form of numbers that I can make a mount for them online.
I have to select each item and convert the string to a number?
Is there a function that converts a string number (orange line) (pink line)?
Is there a smarter way?

Hi experts,
Try to convert the varchar2 systimestamp date
EX:

output should be (column format - systimestamp)-HH24:MI:SS MM/DD/YYYY
Thanks in advance

OUTPUT SHOULD BE:
I need the output to the format MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS
sample:

26/02/2014 02:19:11
This is contradictory.
The timestamps have no any format. (Or, to be excruciatingly correct, they all have the same format, which is nothing like ' MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS' or ' LUN-JJ-AA HH.MI.) SS. AM FF ' or something else that you use to display the values.) Only those channels have formats like ' MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS' and you certainly do not want to store information about the dates and times of a string column.
TO_CHAR display a TIMESTAMP in a given format. You can also use ALTER SESSION to change the default format, so that the timestamps are displayed in a given format (unless you are using TO_CHAR to convert them to strings).
For example:
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT = "DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS";
NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT allows to do the programming for the TIMESTAMP WITH time ZONE SCHEDULE thing.
Your DBA can do something similar to change your system's default format.

What it says on the DATEs apply to parking meters as well.

Gets the data type variant for the selection of cases
I don't ' know much about alternative, so I'll ask as many questions as possible on this subject. If I have a table of varying, and each of these variations has been converted to a different data type. This table will be the clue to a for loop and each item will be handled in a case inside the loop structure for.
The issue is that I would like to take the variant data type, convert enum and use it to select the box on the structure of the case. How do I do that? Or what is the best way to do it?

Hello
Also, we get a very unfortunate mistake of Boolean variable reading of a PLC register that is automatically converted to a Variant. And therefore, when wire us a Boolean indicator (led) it gives me the error 91: "the variant data type is not compatible with the data type of wired for the input type.
Some people have had the same problem but I'm not a little to get around / solution !
The intervening variable is down, "F3 BLOKKAGE SCHROEF 2 OK.

In addition, you really should provide the data type during the conversion of a variant. There is an entry on the top of the variant data Type node.

I have a data type variant. See attachament. I tried to use varying data for each values within the Variant.
Is it possible to extract or obtain values of each in a variant data type? How do you usually?

You must connect a data type to the variation of data to determine the conversion. /Y

Scripting-Terminal of a "Data Type creation.
I have a script function that is supposed to create a constant (think melting or Variant data type) a receiver provided. He then connects this constant to a designated terminal.
I get this error when I try to catch the terminal of the object that I just created. (just before the error dialog box that I placed)
I tried a handful of things, and I have a hypothesis for now. LabVIEW handed me a constant with a command reference.
More specific error when I try to make a constant. Guess it makes sense because it does not move to the top or to the bottom of the tree.
Has used the 'create data type' incorrectly? Is there a way to force the referral to continue to point to the object but to be recognized as a constant?
Thank you
This is a known bug with the creation of the method of Data Type. The workaround prescribed, it is exactly what you've done... convert the order for GObject reference, then convert this constant reference.

Variant data vs Flattened to string
Hi all
I haven't worked a lot with the type of a variant in LabVIEW and after having read about a few items, I wonder what is the fundamental difference between a flattened chain and a variant data type.
I read somewhere that the variant data types also contain metadata that includes the data type there and again we need to wire the data type to the function 'variant data. Why?
What is the case of the use of the variant data type? I think essentially to a use case where flattened string cannot do a job which variant data type can do.
Thank you
