  • Oracle function always returning null

    - by JavaRocky
    I can't get this function to behave as i desire. Can anyone point out why it always returns null instead of CURRENT_TIMESTAMP? CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION nowts RETURN TIMESTAMP IS vTimestamp TIMESTAMP; BEGIN SELECT type_date INTO vTimestamp FROM param_table WHERE param_table = 3 AND exists ( SELECT * FROM param_table WHERE param_table = 2 ); IF vTimestamp IS NULL THEN vTimestamp := CURRENT_TIMESTAMP; END IF; return vTimestamp; END nowts; Right now there is nothing in the table named param_table.

  • How to automatically check out a database file in a source controlled web application ?

    - by TheRHCP
    Hello, I am working on an ASP.NET web application, we are a small team (4 students) and we do not have access to a dedicated server to host the database instance. So for this web application we decided just to put the database file in the App_Data folder. The problem is that our project is source controled on TFS, so every time you open the solution and try to launch the web application, we get an expcetion saying that database is read-only. That is logical because the databse file is not automatically checked-out. Is there a workaround to avoid a manual check-out of the database file everytime we open the solution ? Thanks.

  • Oracle - Return shortest string value in a set of rows

    - by Sridhar
    Hi, I'm trying to write a query that returns the shortest string value in the column. For ex: if ColumnA has values ABCDE, ZXDR, ERC, the query should return "ERC". I've written the following query, but I'm wondering if there is any better way to do this? BTW, the query should return a single value. select distinct ColumnA from ( select ColumnA, rank() over (order by length(ColumnA), ColumnA) len_rank from TableA where ColumnB = 'XXX' ) where len_rank <= 1 Thank you.

  • Need Insight - What is the best practice for syncing up a production database that will be used on a

    - by james
    I have a site set up using CakePHP and MySQL and I want to work on a test database without disrupting my live site in case something goes wrong. I have another busy site, but my test site runs off the live database which can be occasionally nerve wracking. What do I do if I change a table name in the test db and I want it changed in the live database? Or if I remove a record from the test database. Is there a way to diff the changes? How do I even merge those changes? How does this interfere with live user edits and things of that nature? Hopefully some of you working devs can share some insight!

  • Oracle SQL: Query results from previous X isoweeks () (where X might be > 52)

    - by tommy-o-dell
    How could I adapt this query to show the previous 61 weeks? (still exlcluding the current week). My query currently shows me the total weekly sales for 2010 grouped by ISO Week and ISO Year (exlcuding the current week). select to_char(order_date,'IYYY') as iso_year, to_char(order_date,'IW') as iso_week, sum(sale_amount) from orders where to_char(order_date,'IW') <> to_char(SYSDATE) and to_char(order_date,'IYYY') = 2010 group by to_char(order_date,'IYYY') to_char(order_date,'IW') I realize I could probably just omit the "2010" requirement, order by desc and limit results to a certain bnumber of rows. But that just doesn't seem right! Much appreciate any help pointing me in the right direction!

  • Are all of the Oracle exceptions named?

    - by John O
    In particular, I've been trying to find the name of the ORA-0955 to improve code readability. Currently I'm using the following: EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN IF SQLCODE = -00955 What I would prefer is something like: EXCEPTION WHEN OBJECT_EXISTS THEN This seems cleaner to me and I would prefer that. But I've looked in SYS.STANDARD, and it lists relatively few named exceptions. Online documentation seems to mirror what's in SYS.STANDARD. Is there another package to look in? Some other resource?

    What is faster? the Merge statement MERGE INTO table USING dual ON (rowid = 'some_id') WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET colname = 'some_val' WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (rowid, colname) VALUES ('some_id', 'some_val') or querying a select statement then using an update or insert statement.

  • Multiple connections to a MySQL database in a single PHP script.

    - by st3
    There are multiple times in one page where I need to connect and subsequently query a MySQL database, yet my code won't let me. I think it might be something to do with how my files are nested but it makes no sense. I am opening the SQL connection in the header file. The top of the offending page looks like the following: <?php $page_title = 'Dashboard'; include('templates/header.inc'); // includes a 'require_once('mysqli_connect.php') and a small query to the database; require_once('includes/functions.php'); require_once('includes/dashboard_sql.php'); // Contains functions which connect to database (which are failing.) ?> I get the PHP error Notice: Undefined variable: dbc in /Library/WebServer/Documents/pediatory_site/includes/dashboard_sql.php Where $dbc is the database connection defined in mysqli_connect.php. If anyone could help me out that would be great.

  • how to find missing rows in oracle

    - by user203212
    Hi, I have a table called 2 tables create table ORDERS ( ORDER_NO NUMBER(38,0) not null, ORDER_DATE DATE not null, SHIP_DATE DATE null, SHIPPING_METHOD VARCHAR2(12) null, TAX_STATUS CHAR(1) null, SUBTOTAL NUMBER null, TAX_AMT NUMBER null, SHIPPING_CHARGE NUMBER null, TOTAL_AMT NUMBER null, CUSTOMER_NO NUMBER(38,0) null, EMPLOYEE_NO NUMBER(38,0) null, BRANCH_NO NUMBER(38,0) null, constraint ORDERS_ORDERNO_PK primary key (ORDER_NO) ); and create table PAYMENTS ( PAYMENT_NO NUMBER(38,0) NOT NULL, CUSTOMER_NO NUMBER(38,0) null, ORDER_NO NUMBER(38,0) null, AMT_PAID NUMBER NULL, PAY_METHOD VARCHAR(10) NULL, DATE_PAID DATE NULL, LATE_DAYS NUMBER NULL, LATE_FEES NUMBER NULL, constraint PAYMENTS_PAYMENTNO_PK primary key (PAYMENT_NO) ); I am trying to find how many late orders each customer have. the column late_days in PAYMENTS table has how many days the customer is late for making payments for any particular order. so I am making this query SELECT C.CUSTOMER_NO, C.lname, C.fname, sysdate, COUNT(P.ORDER_NO) as number_LATE_ORDERS FROM CUSTOMER C, orders o, PAYMENTS P WHERE C.CUSTOMER_NO = o.CUSTOMER_NO AND P.order_no = o.order_no AND P.LATE_DAYS>0 group by C.CUSTOMER_NO, C.lname, C.fname That means, I am counting the orders those have any late payments and late_days0. But this is giving me only the customers who have any orders with late_days0, but the customers who does not have any late orders are not showing up. so if one customer has 5 orders with late payments then it is showing 5 for that customer, but if a customer have 0 late orders,that customer is not selected in this query. Is there any way to select all the customers , and if he has any late orders, it will show the number and also if he does not have any late orders, it will show 0.

  • Which user account to assign as owner when attaching an SQL Server database?

    - by FreshCode
    This is a simple database security & performance question, but I've always used either a special user (eg. mydbuser), or Windows' built-in NETWORK SECURITY account as the owner when attaching databases to my SQL Server instances. When deploying my database to a production server, is there a specific user I should stick to or avoid? I would think that using an account with a set password could open the database up to a potential security issue.

  • Should core application configuration be stored in the database, and if so what should be done to se

    - by Rl
    I'm writing an application around a lot of hierarchical data. Currently the hierarchy is fixed, but it's likely that new items will be added to the hierarchy in the future. (please let them be leaves) My current application and database design is fairly generic and nothing dealing with specific nodes in the hierarchy is hardcoded, with the exception of validation and lookup functions written to retrieve external data from each node's particular database. This pleases me from a design point of view, but I'm nervous at the realization that the entire application rests on a handful of records in the database. I'm also frustrated that I have to enforce certain aspects of data integrity with database triggers rather than by foreign key constraints (an example is where several different nodes in the hierarchy have their own proprietary IDs and I store them in a single column which, when coupled with the node ID can be used to locate the foreign data). I'm starting to wonder whether it may have been appropriate to simply hardcoded these known nodes into the system so that it would be more "type safe" and less generic. How does one know when something should be hardcoded, and when it should be a configuration item? Is it just a cost-benefit analysis of clarity/safety now vs less work later, or am I missing some metric I should be using to determine whether or not this is appropriate. The steps I'm taking to protect these valuable configurations are to add triggers that prevent updates/deletes. The database user that this application uses will only have the ability to manipulate data through stored procedures. What else can I do?

  • Oracle: Finding Columns with only null values

    - by Jorge Valois
    I have a table with a lot of columns and a type column. Some columns seem to be always empty for a specific type. I want to create a view for each type and only show the relevant columns for each type. Working under the assumption that if a column has ONLY null values for a specific type, then that columns should not be part of the view, how can you find that out with queries? Is there a SELECT [columnName] FROM [table] WHERE [columnValues] ARE ALL [null] I know I COMPLETELY made it all up above... I'm just trying to get the idea across. Thanks in advance!
