migrate querie update in sybase to oracle - oracle

hi guys i need migrate this querie to oracle
UPDATE t_tel
SET fec_hora = convert(datetime,substring(date_call,1,8) + " " + hour_init)
I know very little about the database, pls help.

Here's what I think (I don't know Sybase so I looked at documentation; it would be simpler if you explained what you want to get as a result based on input (i.e. DATE_CALL and HOUR_INIT values).
Therefore, a presumption:
date_call looks like a date, where first 8 characters represent day, month and year - but I don't know in which format so I presumed it is ddmmyyyy. If it is not, you'll have to use correct format
hour_init contains time - again, format is unknown, so I presumed it is hh24mi
If that's so, you'd
update t_tel set
fec_hora = to_date(substr(date_call, 1, 8) || ' ' || hour_init,
'ddmmyyyy hh24mi'
);
Format mask ddmmyyyy hh24mi might need to be changed if source data looks differently.

only show events who are greater than or equal laravel

Im working in a project where I display different events in my view. The goal for now is to only show events that are upcoming, so it doesn't show events that are older than today.
The users of my page can create an event and set a sertain date for it.
The data is stored into my db like this:
$table->string('datum');
In the view it return it like this:
06.03.2019
My controller to return the data looks like this:
$date = date('d.m.Y');
$evententries = Event::where('datum', '>=', $date)->orderBy('datum', 'asc')->take(3)->get();
but it's somehow not working..
Anyone got any Ideas of how to fix this and what my issue is here?
btw, I'm using laravel 5.7.
Thank you :)
Hmm you are doing it on wrong way from begin...
First: why you are using string to store date value? there is much better options to store date within database...
Second: you are using date format which cannot be compared on that way (using < > =)
when you are comparing strings ie 08.03.2019 will be always smaller than 10.01.2016 because 1 > 0... so if you are comparing dates use:
db format for storing dates
for comparing use format yyyy-mm-dd because on that way even simple string comparison will give you correct result...

Converting dates from different centuries

I have staging table which contains date as string with format 'mm/dd/yy'. I have Oracle 11g procedure to convert the string to date format before loading into main table. I'm using to_date('03/20/34','mm/dd/rr') to convert into date format which is giving wrong output as 03/20/2034 whereas the correct date is 03/20/1934. Please help me out to get the correct output where my table contains dates from both centuries.
"I'm using to_date('03/20/34','mm/dd/rr') to convert into date format which is giving wrong output as 03/20/2034 whereas the correct date is 03/20/1934. "
RR was a hack Oracle introduced in the last Millennium as part of the fight to resolve the Y2K bug. The standard date mask YY defaults the century to the current century. But in 1999 it was more likely that 01/01/00 meant 01/01/2000 rather than 01/01/1900. So the RR hack was to derive the century for dates using fixed windows pivoting on 00: values 00-49 are given century 20, 50-99 are given 19. Clearly some of the time this guess would be wrong, but the data corruption introduced was of a lower level than defaulting all dates to century 19.
The key point is, the windows are fixed. It was intended to be a temporary solution, because there wasn't time to switch all the legacy systems to use four-digit years before 2000 arrived. But the vision was always that all systems would be fixed in the long term, even if only through retirement or replacement. Certainly nobody expected that new systems would be built supporting two-digit years.
It is now 2017 and there is no excuse for systems to still be using two-digit years. Back in the old days storage was expensive, and shaving two digits from a date was a valuable space saving. Now it is just sloppiness.
Which obviously doesn't help you solve your problem. The short answer is there is no way to change the pivot used by RR. The best solution would be to enforce stricter validation on the data input aspect of your system, and insist on four-digit years. Whether that's feasible depends on your office politics. The other solution is to write your own conversion function:
create or replace function my_to_date (p_str varchar2) return date as
begin
if to_number(substr(p_str, 7) <= 35 then
return to_date(substr(p_str, 1, 6)||'19'||substr(p_str, 7), 'dd/mm/yyyy');
else
return to_date(substr(p_str, 1, 6)||'20'||substr(p_str, 7), 'dd/mm/yyyy');
end;
Obviously you'll need to define the actual rules for deciding whether to use 19 or 20.
I also encountered an issue like this, when inserting date values from the late 90s. The format in the script I was given read DD-MON-YY, so the database read that as 20YY, instead of 19YY.
My very inelegant solution was to open the raw data file and simply add a "19" before the YY year values.

OBIEE: Casting String to date then date to string

FILTER("source"."recordCount" USING "source"."snapshot_date" =
EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1, ''YYYYMMDD'')', TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -7, EVALUATE('TO_DATE(%1, %2)', "source"."snapshot_date" , 'YYYYMMDD'))))
So i have this piece of code here. I know some will say "Just use the AGO function" But somehow it's causing problems because of it's connection with other tables so what I'm trying to achieve here is like a remake. The process goes this way:
The snapshot_date there is actually in varchar format and not date. So it's like "20131016" and I'm trying to change it to a date then subtract 7 days from it using the TIMESTAMPADD function and then finally returning it back to varchar to use it with FILTER.
This snippet somehow works when testing the FILTER using hardcoded values like "20131016" for example but when tested out with the code above all the row are blank. On paper, the process i assumed would happen goes lke this. "20131016" turns to a date with a format of 20131016 (yyyymmdd) and then less 7 days: 20131009 and then turned into char again "20131009" to be used in the filter.
But somehow that doesn't happen. I think the data format is not applying either to the string->date or the date->string conversion. which results to the values not getting a match at all.
Anyone have any idea what's wrong with my code?
By the way I've already tried to use CAST instead of EVALUATE or TO_TIMEDATE with the same result. Oh and this goes to the formula of the column in BMM.
Thanks
You might get some clues by looking at the SQL generated by the BI Server. I can't see any issues with your column expression, so I wouldn't limit your debugging to that alone.
A query returning nulls is often caused by incorrect levels being set (especially on logical table sources, but potentially on a measure column too). This will often result in some form of SELECT NULL FROM ... in the physical SQL.
Try this :
FILTER("source"."recordCount" USING "source"."snapshot_date" =
EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1, %2)', TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -7, EVALUATE('TO_DATE(%1, %2)', TO_CHAR("source"."snapshot_date" , 'YYYYMMDD') , 'YYYYMMDD')) , 'YYYYMMDD'))

Oracle 10g Database Date Conversion to 'yyyy-iw' problems?

I'm not sure if this is a question or more of an exploration of a possible bug or a question about a better way to do handle this.
I have a rollup report that uses the
select column1id, column2date
from table1
where to_char(column2date,'yyyy-iw') = to_char(to_date('2012-12-31','yyyy-mm-dd'),'yyyy-iw')
The line: to_char(to_date('2012-12-31','yyyy-mm-dd'),'yyyy-iw') is converting to 2012-01, wrapping back to the beginning of the year.
Digging a bit further I find that the date 2012-12-31 is neither included in week: 2012-52 nor is it included in 2013-01, and 2012-53 doesn't return any data either... so I'm at a loss of what's going on here.

select to_char(to_date('2012-12-31','yyyy-mm-dd'),'iyyy-iw') from dual;
returns 2013-01.
I think your WHERE clause should be:
where to_char(column2date,'iyyy-iw') = to_char(to_date('2012-12-31','yyyy-mm-dd'),'iyyy-iw')

PHP Function that Randomly Selects One mySQL Row With A Unix Date of Less than Two Weeks

I need a php function that can randomly select one row that has a unix time date field (like 2011-11-12 or 2011-12-24) that indicates the row was created within the last two weeks from a mySQL table and return the id of that said row.
I don't know how do this. Honestly, I would like someone to hand me the code, but I don't like that because most people don't like that.. and their reasons make sense, but if someone would show me the code, then please do, thus can someone at the least point me in the right direction? Thank you.
You can get the date by using date and strtotime:
$date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime("-2 weeks"));
Then the query would look something like this:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE date_field >= '$date' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1;
ORDER BY RAND() gives you a random row.
strtotime: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php
Hope this helps. :)
