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.

I'm using SQLite to deal with tons of data (like 100gb of data).
I need to seach the value of one column in other table in the fastest way possible.
For example, I need to find the following values of Table 1
[COD]
C62
K801
And then find them in Table 2:
[COD_2]
C60-C63
K80-K81
My desired result is something like:
[COD_1] [COD_2]
C62 C60-C63
K801 K80-K81
Since I have a lot of data, it is inefficient to do something like:
SELECT *
FROM TABLE_1, TABLE_2
WHERE COD_1 LIKE '%' || COD_2 || '%';
Instead, I was trying to do this:
SELECT *
FROM TABLE_1
WHERE COD_1 IN (SELECT COD_2 FROM TABLE_2);
Of course that this doesn't result because the codes are not exactly the sames. Is there a way to search for similar values of one column (something like the LIKE operator) in other table by using IN? Or other way that doesn't cross TABLE_1 and TABLE_2?
Thank you!!!
useful to me.
Based on the small data set shown, and my presumed answer to #Shawn's question (K801 is a typo and is meant to be K80 or K81) I assume the following problem description:
Find a row in COD_2 such that the value in COD_1 is between {value1}-{value2} in COD_2; the - being significant and dependable.
I cannot speak to speed, but I would approach it this way:
SELECT value1, value2
from COD_1,COD_2
where value1 between substr(value2,1,instr(value2,'-')-1) and substr(value2,instr(value2,'-')+1)
The thought being: split the value from COD-2 into a "start" and an "end" value.
I have been looking all day for a solution that works for my situation. I have found some things that are very similar but don't work for my situation, I tried them.
Here is the scenario; I have two table base and partdetails. I have an asp website (internal ONLY) that has drop down lists to select the parameters for a SQL query that fills a data grid view.
My problem is this, I need to be able, based on the drop down list boxes on the page, assign the column name that the criteria that is entered to be searched for.
Here is the query that I am trying to define: (This one returns 0 rows)
sqlCmd.CommandText = ("Select ba.referenceid, ba.partnum, pd.width, pd.length, CONVERT(varchar(12), pd.dateentered, 101) As [dateentered], ba.partqty, ba.status, ba.material From tbl_dlbase ba Join tbl_partdetails pd On ba.referenceid = pd.referenceid Where Case #field1 When 'part #' Then 'ba.partnum' When 'Spacing' Then 'pd.spacing' When 'Surface' Then 'pd.surface' When 'Height' Then 'pd.height' When 'Thickness' Then 'pd.thickness' End Like '%' + #criteria1 + '%'")
sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#field1", ddlSc1.SelectedItem.Text)
sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#criteria1", txbCriteria1.Text)
This is the latest version of the SQL statement that I have tried. I need to be able to set the field/column name based on the selection from the drop down list ddlsc1 on the asp page.
I have also been trying the queries in Studio manager to see if maybe I have fat fingered something but it also returns 0 rows so I know something is wrong with the query.
So how can I set the column name field using a parameter for the name. I know this is a huge security concern with SQL injection but this is an internal only site, and more importantly my boss said he wants it done with variables.
I don't really see a problem with this other than you have single quotes around your THEN values. Does this fix it?
SELECT ba.referenceid
,ba.partnum
,pd.width
,pd.length
,CONVERT(VARCHAR(12), pd.dateentered, 101) AS [dateentered]
,ba.partqty
,ba.STATUS
,ba.material
FROM tbl_dlbase ba
JOIN tbl_partdetails pd ON ba.referenceid = pd.referenceid
WHERE CASE #field1
WHEN 'part #'
THEN ba.partnum
WHEN 'Spacing'
THEN pd.spacing
WHEN 'Surface'
THEN pd.surface
WHEN 'Height'
THEN pd.height
WHEN 'Thickness'
THEN pd.thickness
END LIKE '%' + #criteria1 + '%'
I need to use cast function with length of column in teradata.
say I have a table with following data ,
id | name
1|dhawal
2|bhaskar
I need to use cast operation something like
select cast(name as CHAR(<length of column>) from table
how can i do that?
thanks
Dhawal
You have to find the length by looking at the table definition - either manually (show table) or by writing dynamic SQL that queries dbc.ColumnsV.
update
You can find the maximum length of the actual data using
select max(length(cast(... as varchar(<large enough value>))) from TABLE
But if this is for FastExport I think casting as varchar(large-enough-value) and postprocessing to remove the 2-byte length info FastExport includes is a better solution (since exporting a CHAR() will results in a fixed-length output file with lots of spaces in it).
You may know this already, but just in case: Teradata usually recommends switching to TPT instead of the legacy fexp.
I'm working on SQLite and I want use the LIKE operation in my query and i've used following query
SELECT * from TBL_words where words Like "%ab"
I've more than 10 words which are ends with ab but I'm getting only one word. Am I doing anything wrong? please any one suggest the solution for this, Thanks
LIKE '%ab' will match columns that end exactly in the chars ab. Based on comments you have additional trailing whitespace in some of your words. You can use TRIM(words) in SQL to remove it.
I am using iReport 4.7.
I want print amount in words.
For Example:
Assume Text field contains 1000 and i want print like "One Thousand".
Is anyone tell the steps to solve it?
Process your datasource before passing it to the report.
Using ibm's ICU4J you can convert amount into words by doing something like
double num = 2718;
RuleBasedNumberFormat formatter = new RuleBasedNumberFormat(Locale.ENGLISH, RuleBasedNumberFormat.SPELLOUT);
String result = formatter.format(num);
System.out.println(result);
Will print
two thousand seven hundred eighteen
If you are using Oracle database then try this:
SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE($P{ParamName}, 'J'), 'Jsp')
FROM dual
This spells out whatever number you pass through $P{ParamName}. You can use this select clause in your main query's SELECT clause and use it.
