How to export a file as XML format? - openedge

FOR EACH gdmf_shift NO-LOCK:BUFFER-COPY gdmf_shift EXCEPT shift_obj TO tt_shift.END.
hOutSAXDocument:START-ELEMENT("Row").
hOutSAXDocument:INSERT-ATTRIBUTE("id","5").
hOutSAXDocument:START-ELEMENT("Column").
hOutSAXDocument:INSERT-ATTRIBUTE("id","C1").
hOutSAXDocument:WRITE-DATA-ELEMENT("Column",string(tt_orderinfo.shft_start_hour,"HH:MM")).
hOutSAXDocument:WRITE-DATA-ELEMENT("Column",string(tt_orderinfo.shft_stop_hour,"HH:MM")).
See from above codes I got first start and stop hour and exported as XML but what I need is every hour which is resides in tt_data.
See Like this

It looks to me like you have the END statement in the wrong place.
FOR EACH gdmf_shift NO-LOCK:
BUFFER-COPY gdmf_shift EXCEPT shift_obj TO tt_shift. /* I don't see why you are doing this but maybe there is more code than is being shown */
hOutSAXDocument:START-ELEMENT("Row").
hOutSAXDocument:INSERT-ATTRIBUTE("id","5").
hOutSAXDocument:START-ELEMENT("Column").
hOutSAXDocument:INSERT-ATTRIBUTE("id","C1").
hOutSAXDocument:WRITE-DATA-ELEMENT("Column",string(tt_orderinfo.shft_start_hour,"HH:MM")).
hOutSAXDocument:WRITE-DATA-ELEMENT("Column",string(tt_orderinfo.shft_stop_hour,"HH:MM")).
/* you probably want to end the element here */
END.
It seems like you might be thinking of Progress 4GL/ABL as being sort of like SQL where a "result set" is returned and acted on as a whole. The 4GL is not like that. FOR EACH is a looping block -- each row is returned individually for you to act on. While it is superficially similar it is not the same as a SQL SELECT.
Your original code only acts on the last row because it happens to be "in scope" at the end of the "FOR EACH x WHERE y: ... END." block.

How to print unique numbers dynamically with PLSQL

I would like to display Unique numbers dynamically. I have tried below code for the same but same number is displaying all the times.
DECLARE
a NUMBER;
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1 .. 3 LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(&a);
END LOOP;
END;
the above code will ask me for "a" value three times, if i pass 1,2,3 as parameters then it should display 1,2,3 but this code is displaying first(1) value three time as 1,1,1.
Could you please help me to get the required output like 1,2,3
You can't really create an interactive program in just PL/SQL. When you put &a in the PL/SQL and run it in a tool like SQL Developer, it prompts you once for a value for a before it runs the code, using the value you typed instead of the substitution variable a.
You want to print i and not a. Also the ampersand in front of the a means you will be prompted to enter a value for a.

Using Marklogic Xquery data population

I have the data as below manner.
<Status>Active Leave Terminated</Status>
<date>05/06/2014 09/10/2014 01/10/2015</date>
I want to get the data as in the below manner.
<status>Active</Status>
<date>05/06/2014</date>
<status>Leave</Status>
<date>09/10/2014</date>
<status>Terminated</Status>
<date>01/10/2015</date>
please help me on the query, to retrieve the data as specified above.
Well, you have a string and want to split it at the whitestapces. That's what tokenize() is for and \s is a whitespace. To get the corresponding date you can get the current position in the for loop using at. Together it looks something like this (note that I assume that the input data is the current context item):
let $dates := tokenize(date, "\s+")
for $status at $pos in tokenize(Status, "\s+")
return (
<status>{$status}</status>,
<date>{$dates[$pos]}</date>
)
You did not indicate whether your data is on the file system or already loaded into MarkLogic. It's also not clear if this is something you need to do once on a small set of data or on an on-going basis with a lot of data.
If it's on the file system, you can transform it as it is being loaded. For instance, MarkLogic Content Pump can apply a transformation during load.
If you have already loaded the content and you want to transform it in place, you can use Corb2.
If you have a small amount of data, then you can just loop across it using Query Console.
Regardless of how you apply the transformation code, dirkk's answer shows how you need to change it. If you are updating content already in your database, you'll xdmp:node-delete() the original Status and date elements and xdmp:node-insert-child() the new ones.

Progress ABL - strip and add to temp table

I'm coming from a Java/.NET background and trying to learn ABL but the difference in structure and the limited information on the internet is making it hard. What I want to do is import data from a text file which is in the following format:
john smith 52 ceo
...
line by line, and take the different parts based on the position of the character. For example, positions 1-10 are for the first name, 10-20 second name and so on... Do I have to use entry for that? If so can someone more experienced give an example how to do it cause I'm quite confused. Then I need to add a record for each line to a temp-table I have created called tt-employee. How do I go about doing that?
I apologise if my question is a bit vague but as I said, I am new to this so I'm still figuring things out.
If space is a delimiter you can use the IMPORT statement.
DEFINE TEMP-TABLE tt-employee NO-UNDO
FIELD firstname AS CHARACTER
FIELD lastname AS CHARACTER
FIELD age AS INTEGER
FIELD empTitle AS CHARACTER.
INPUT FROM c:\temp\indata.dat.
REPEAT:
CREATE tt-employee.
IMPORT DELIMITER " " tt-employee.
END.
INPUT CLOSE.
However if there isn't a delimiter but rather a fixed record with (as you mention) you can do something like this (error checking and correct record lengths needs to be applied).
/* Skipping temp-table definition - copy-paste from above */
DEFINE VARIABLE cRow AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
INPUT FROM c:\temp\indata.dat.
REPEAT:
IMPORT UNFORMATTED cRow.
/* You could replace 0 with a higher number that qualifies a record so
SUBSTRING doesn't return an error if reading past end of line */
IF LENGTH(cRow) > 0 THEN DO:
CREATE tt-employee.
ASSIGN
tt-employee.firstname = SUBSTRING(cRow, 1, 10)
tt-employee.lastname = SUBSTRING(cRow, 11, 10)
tt-employee.age = INTEGER(SUBSTRING(cRow, 21, 2))
tt-employee.empTitle = SUBSTRING(cRow, 23, 10) NO-ERROR.
END.
END.
INPUT CLOSE.

select update within sama table oracle sql or pl/sql -

I need to select v_col1, from table_x and that column gives me string that i need to put(update) into same
rowid but into diffrent column(h_col2) in sama table table_x - sorry it seems easy but i am beginner....
tabl_x
rowid V_col1, h_col2 etc .....
1 672637263 GVRT1898
2 384738477 GVRT1876
3 263237863 GVRT1832
like in this example i need to put GVRT1898 (update) instead of 672637263 and i need to
go into every row in this table_x and fix -
like next line would be (rowid2 would be GVRT1876 instead of 384738477 :-)
this table has 40000 lines like this and i need to loop for every rowid
THX for your responce Justin - this is a little more complex,
i have this string in h_col and need to take only GVRTnumber out and put into v_col - but it's
hard becouse GVRTnumber is in various place in column see down here....
"E_ID"=X:"GVRT1878","RCode"=X:"156000","Month"=d:1,"Activate"=d:5,"Disp_Id"=X:"4673498","Tar"=X:"171758021";
2"E_ID"=X:"561001760","RCode"=X:"156000","Month"=d:1,"Activate"=d:5,"Disp_Id"=X:"GVRT1898","Tar"=X:"171758021";
h_col column have this number that i want but in various place like somethimes it's in this 600byte column it's in byte nr 156 - sometimes in 287 but the only unique is "GVRT...." how can i take that string and put it to v_col -
Can you show me how to write such SQL pl/sql ?
regards & thanks
It sounds like you just want
UPDATE tabl_x
SET h_col2 = v_col1
Of course, if you do something like this, that implies that one of the two columns should be dropped or the data model needs to get fixed. Having two copies of the same data in each row is a bad idea from a normalization standpoint if nothing else.

SQLite X'...' notation with column data

I am trying to write a custom report in Spiceworks, which uses SQLite queries. This report will fetch me hard drive serial numbers that are unfortunately stored in a few different ways depending on what version of Windows and WMI were on the machine.
Three common examples (which are enough to get to the actual question) are as follows:
Actual serial number: 5VG95AZF
Hexadecimal string with leading spaces: 2020202057202d44585730354341543934383433
Hexadecimal string with leading zeroes: 3030303030303030313131343330423137454342
The two hex strings are further complicated in that even after they are converted to ASCII representation, each pair of numbers are actually backwards. Here is an example:
3030303030303030313131343330423137454342 evaluates to 00000000111430B17ECB
However, the actual serial number on that hard drive is 1141031BE7BC, without leading zeroes and with the bytes swapped around. According to other questions and answers I have read on this site, this has to do with the "endianness" of the data.
My temporary query so far looks something like this (shortened to only the pertinent section):
SELECT pd.model as HDModel,
CASE
WHEN pd.serial like "30303030%" THEN
cast(('X''' || pd.serial || '''') as TEXT)
WHEN pd.serial like "202020%" THEN
LTRIM(X'2020202057202d44585730354341543934383433')
ELSE
pd.serial
END as HDSerial
The result of that query is something like this:
HDModel HDSerial
----------------- -------------------------------------------
Normal Serial 5VG95AZF
202020% test case W -DXW05CAT94843
303030% test case X'3030303030303030313131343330423137454342'
This shows that the X'....' notation style does convert into the correct (but backwards) result of W -DXW05CAT94843 when given a fully literal number (the 202020% line). However, I need to find a way to do the same thing to the actual data in the column, pd.serial, and I can't find a way.
My initial thought was that if I could build a string representation of the X'...' notation, then perhaps cast() would evaluate it. But as you can see, that just ends up spitting out X'3030303030303030313131343330423137454342' instead of the expected 00000000111430B17ECB. This means the concatenation is working correctly, but I can't find a way to evaluate it as hex the same was as in the manual test case.
I have been googling all morning to see if there is just some syntax I am missing, but the closest I have come is this concatenation using the || operator.
EDIT: Ultimately I just want to be able to have a simple case statement in my query like this:
SELECT pd.model as HDModel,
CASE
WHEN pd.serial like "30303030%" THEN
LTRIM(X'pd.serial')
WHEN pd.serial like "202020%" THEN
LTRIM(X'pd.serial')
ELSE
pd.serial
END as HDSerial
But because pd.serial gets wrapped in single quotes, it is taken as a literal string instead of taken as the data contained in that column. My hope was/is that there is just a character or operator I need to specify, like X'$pd.serial' or something.
END EDIT
If I can get past this first hurdle, my next task will be to try and remove the leading zeroes (the way LTRIM eats the leading spaces) and reverse the bytes, but to be honest, I would be content even if that part isn't possible because it wouldn't be hard to post-process this report in Excel to do that.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it! It would obviously be much easier if I was using PHP or something else to do this processing, but because I am trying to have it be an embedded report in Spiceworks, I have to do this all in a single SQLite query.
X'...' is the binary representation in sqlite. If the values are string, you can just use them as such.
This should be a start:
sqlite> select X'3030303030303030313131343330423137454342';
00000000111430B17ECB
sqlite> select ltrim(X'3030303030303030313131343330423137454342','0');
111430B17ECB
I hope this puts you on the right path.
