I need to enumerate my lines in a column of the select by a type. For example, I have three types which can be "RR", "RJ" and "RA", every time that a type "RR" appears I have to sum 3 and the other ones I have to sum only 1, creating a sequence like:
Type Number
RR 3
RR 6
RJ 7
RR 10
RJ 11
RA 12
RR 15
I have other fields in the select, so I used the ROW_NUMBER() function with all my order by fields, something like:
select
number,
[...]
type,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (order by number, type [...] )*3 as sequence
from
my_table
order by number, type [...]
I also tried to use a case statement, but it doesn't aggregate the values.
Is it possible to do? I'm trying to use the ROW_NUMBER() function, but i can't get the result, only three by three.
You could use SUM:
select
number,
[...]
type,
SUM(CASE WHEN Type = 'RR' THEN 3 ELSE 1 END)
OVER (order by number, type [...] ) as sequence
from my_table
order by number, type [...]

I wish to display decimal numbers (from a query) into text items.
if I set
:TXT_ITEM := '0,000123456789'
it works. But, if :TXT_ITEM is bound to a numeric table field, value is displayed as ,000123456789.
I'm trying to force format number on several triggers (post-change, when-new-record-instance, post-text...), unsuccessfully. On other hand, setting format_mask would force my DB value to a given number of decimal digits.
How can I get leading zero to be displayed?
See if any of these two options help.
Sample data:

5 select 0.00012345221 from dual union all
6 select -0.002412428238234821 from dual

Table created.

How would use it/them in Forms? Exactly like that - you'd e.g.
select regexp_replace(col, '^(-?)([.,])', '\10\2')
into :block.text_item
from your_table
where some_condition;
Seems the concerned numeric data in the table is of type
NUMBER(13,12)
in this case it's enough to set TXT_ITEMs Format Mask attribute within the Data part of Property Palette as
0D000000000000
with precision of 13 and scale of 12 values.
Considering the scale part is fixed, you can add more zeroes before D character depending on your column's precision value such as two zeroes before D are kept for NUMBER(14,12) or three zeroes for NUMBER(15,12).
Am trying to list top 3 records from atable based on some amount stored in a column FTE_TMUSD which is of varchar datatype
below is the query i tried
SELECT *FROM
(
SELECT * FROM FSE_TM_ENTRY
ORDER BY FTE_TMUSD desc
)
WHERE rownum <= 3
ORDER BY FTE_TMUSD DESC ;
o/p i got
972,9680,963 -->FTE_TMUSD values which are not displayed in desc
I am expecting an o/p which will display the top 3 records of values
That should work; inline view is ordered by FTE_TMUSD in descending order, and you're selecting values from it.
What looks suspicious are values you specified as the result. It appears that FTE_TMUSD's datatype is VARCHAR2 (ah, yes - it is, you said so). It means that values are sorted as strings, not numbers - and it seems that you expect numbers. So, apply TO_NUMBER to that column. Note that it'll fail if column contains anything but numbers (for example, if there's a value 972C).
Also, an alternative to your query might be use of analytic functions, such as row_number:
with temp as
(select f.*,
row_number() over (order by to_number(f.fte_tmusd) desc) rn
from fse_tm_entry f
)
select *
from temp
where rn <= 3;
I have a table with a field varchar2 type,
Suppose this values:
aaab
s123
2445
25
21000
2500000
1
10000790
1899
I need to obtain the greater value that begins with 2.
I was trying with:
Select TO_NUMBER(myfield) from Services where myfield like '2%';
I get
2445
25
21000
2500000
Now, I want to obtain, the greater and the smaller values 25 and 2500000.
I was trying with:
Select TO_NUMBER(myfield) from Services where myfield like '2%' ORDER BY myfield DESC;
and
Select MAX(TO_NUMBER(myfield)) from Services where myfield like '2%';
Select MIN(TO_NUMBER(myfield)) from Services where myfield like '2%';
I get:
01722. 00000 - "invalid number"
*Cause: The specified number was invalid.
*Action: Specify a valid number.
Oracle executes most function calls regardless if the row is part of the result set or not. To ensure that the function is only called for values of the result set put the where condition in a subquery:
Select TO_NUMBER(myfield)
from (SELECT * from Services where myfield like '2%')
ORDER BY 1 DESC
If you are not sure, that every value of your table is a number it would be better to write your own pl/sql function:
CREATE FUNCTION my_to_number(val IN VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
RETURN TO_NUMBER(val);
EXCEPTION
WHEN VALUE_ERROR THEN
RETURN NULL;
END;
And then use this function to get your values:
Select MY_TO_NUMBER(myfield)
from Services where myfield like '2%'
ORDER BY 1 DESC
For Sample purpose lets create a table with below schema and fill some sample values
CREATE TABLE games(ID INT ,Name VARCHAR(20));
INSERT INTO games(ID,Name) VALUES (2008,'Beijing');
INSERT INTO games(ID,Name) VALUES (2012,'London');
INSERT INTO games(ID,Name) VALUES (2012,12);
INSERT INTO games(ID,Name) VALUES (2012,654);
Output:
ID NAME
2008 Beijing
2012 London
2012 12
2012 654
In the above table we have both number and string data in the name column lets write a query that uses the REGX to filter only the numerical rows
SELECT TO_NUMBER(Name)as Trimmed FROM games where REGEXP_LIKE(Name, '(?<=\s|^)\d+(?=\s|$)', '')
Output:
TRIMMED
12
654
Now here is the problem if write a where clause of getting values greater than 12 from the above result it throws invalid number.
Select * from (SELECT TO_NUMBER(Name)as Trimmed FROM games where REGEXP_LIKE(Name, '(?<=\s|^)\d+(?=\s|$)', '')) T1 where T1.Trimmed >12 ;
I found this is how the oracle query planning works but is there any other way i can achieve this
This will work:
Select * from
(SELECT Name as Trimmed
FROM games where REGEXP_LIKE(Name, '(?<=\s|^)\d+(?=\s|$)', '')) T1
where to_number(T1.Trimmed) >12 ;
Unfortunately you need a subquery. It can't be done with one where.
This can be done in a single query:
with
inputs as (
select 2008 as id, 'Beijing' as name from dual union all
select 2012 , 'London' from dual union all
select 2012 , '12' from dual union all
select 2012 , '654' from dual
)
select id, name
from inputs
where translate(name, 'a0123456789', 'a') is null
and to_number(regexp_replace(name, '[^[:digit:]]', '')) > 12
;
ID NAME
---------- -------
2012 654
1 row selected.
regexp_replace removes all the characters except digits, so the test can be done regardless of what the name is. If there are no digits in the name, the result is NULL, which can be converted to number (it is still null).
The translate solution for testing for "all-digits" is more efficient than using regexp_like. The odd-looking 'a' in translate is needed due to an oddity in the translate function itself (see the documentation). This test is not needed if all the names are either "all letters" or "all digits" (if "all letters", the second test with regexp_replace would suffice); but the first test is needed if names like "Sydney 2000" are possible in the name column.
The standard SQL aggregate function max() will return the highest value in a group; min() will return the lowest.
Is there an aggregate function in Oracle to return a random value from a group? Or some technique to achieve this?
E.g., given the table foo:
group_id value
1 1
1 5
1 9
2 2
2 4
2 8
The SQL query
select group_id, max(value), min(value), some_aggregate_random_func(value)
from foo
group by group_id;
might produce:
group_id max(value), min(value), some_aggregate_random_func(value)
1 9 1 1
2 8 2 4
with, obviously, the last column being any random value in that group.
You can try something like the following
select deptno,max(sal),min(sal),max(rand_sal)
from(
select deptno,sal,first_value(sal)
over(partition by deptno order by dbms_random.value) rand_sal
from emp)
group by deptno
/
The idea is to sort the values within group in random order and pick the first.I can think of other ways but none so efficient.
You might prepend a random string to the column you want to extract the random element from, and then select the min() element of the column and take out the prepended string.
select group_id, max(value), min(value), substr(min(random_value),11)
from (select dbms_random.string('A', 10)||value random_value,foo.* from foo)
In this way you cand avoid using the aggregate function and specifying twice the group by, which might be useful in a scenario where your query is very complicated / or you are just exploring the data and are entering manually queries with a lengthy and changing list of group by columns.
