Let me reinforce what Richard has said, NEVER store date as text/varchar/char, ALWAYS use the correct data type.
Text will give you endless problems whenever you try and manipulate the data. The date and datetime data types will give you the tools to manipulate the data easily (not simply it can take a bit of thinking to work out how to achieve a given result).

Hello,
I recently had the oracle 11g Express Crashed.
I have copied the .dbf files from C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\oradata\XE to other folder and reinstalled Oracle 11g Express edition.
The files are
Control.dbf
sysaux.dbf
system.dbf
TEMP.DBF
UNDOTBS1.DBF
USERS.DBF
I want to remount the old database files, so that I can recover database.
Can you please tell me how can I do this?

How do you define ladder for the last value??
i.e. how do you get 24 in last row??
Apart from that, required query is -
SELECT COL1, NVL2(NEXT_COL1, COL1 || '--' || (NEXT_COL1 - 1), NULL) COL2
FROM (
SELECT COL1
,LEAD(COL1, 1, NULL) OVER (ORDER BY COL1) AS NEXT_COL1
FROM (SELECT LEVEL*5 COL1 FROM DUAL CONNECT BY LEVEL < 5)
)
;
And the output will be -
COL1 COL2
5 5--9
10 10--14
15 15--19
20 NULL
Thanks & Regards,
Niral Soni

USE tempdb ;
GO
DECLARE @ladderTable TABLE ( Col1 INT ) ;
DECLARE @incrementValue INT = 0 ;
INSERT INTO @ladderTable ( Col1 )
VALUES ( 5 ),
( 10 ),
( 15 ),
( 20 ) ;
SELECT TOP 1
@incrementValue = Col1
FROM @ladderTable
ORDER BY Col1 ASC ;
SELECT st.Col1,
CAST(st.Col1 AS VARCHAR(20)) + '-'
+ CAST(ISNULL(dt.Col1, st.Col1 + @incrementValue) - 1 AS VARCHAR(20)) AS LadderSequence
FROM @ladderTable AS st
LEFT OUTER JOIN @ladderTable AS dt ON st.Col1 < dt.Col1
AND ( st.Col1 + @incrementValue ) >= dt.Col1 ;
GO
Thanks,

I need to give an introductory database course to a bunch of people who generally are able to write simple SQL queries, but still mainly use files to save stuff. (fits files, ascii files, csv files, ...)
My course starts with presenting some pro's and con's, explaining the basic structure (tables, links, constrains, keys, indexes, ...) and diving into some basic SQL. A second lesson (still under development) would be coding against databases (creating a connection, SQL injection, ...)
I also included a lab with exercises (for lesson 1, lesson 2 to be done).
I looked at some tutorials on the internet, but still would like some advice on how to best bring this topic.
thanks in advance.

V. wrote: A second lesson (still under development) would be coding against databases (creating a connection, SQL injection, ...)
I'd recommend explaining sprocs and functions, moving to Xml in the third lesson. Creating a connection to the database from a non-sql language has little to do with SQL.
What's their role? If design comes into play, you could reserve a week for the topic of database-normalization. There's examples on structures that break normalization on the wikipedia[^]; the update-anomaly is always a nice intro as people recognize it from the real world

After reading several documents , i am still confused whether to use Filestream or Varbinary for storing files?
my application need PDf files to be saved in database , size can be between 100 KB to 4 MB
I guess in order to use filestream we have to configure server to use that. while varbinary can work as it is.
what will be best way?Experts please comment.
Thanks.

We use filestream only to reduce the size of the database backup which is retained for some ridiculous number of years! documents are backed up seperately.

View_1 uses a) Table_1
GetEmpByProjID uses a) Employee
GetAllProj uses a) Employee

i want to show report based on date condition and show it in gridview. It is working in my local machine but not working in server after hosting.
query is SELECT * FROM table WHERE DATE(colmn1) between 'startdate' and 'enddate'
What could be the problem.
If anybody knows please reply me.
Thanks in advance

It could be the format of the date. Why is there a DATE-function on colmn1? Is it a varchar?
Please don't crosspost. The question should not be in the .NET forum.

Look up what a workflow is.
aman wangde wrote: then it flow towards workstation is it possible ?
Nas and FTP, sure, you can write applications to synchronize them with a database. What's an Airbox?

Hi,
I just used the Import Export functionality in sql 2008 to export a table having about one million rows. I have exported to a flat file, and delimited with pipes.
For some reason, about 23,000 rows below, the one of the fields expands and as a result pulls down to the next row, creating a blank row, the data hence after is fine. Now and then we are getting these blank rows.
I have confirmed this data is of length 40 characters long or less.
What could be causing the odd line breaks in the flat file?
any ideas appreciated!!
Thanks!

Is there a carriage-return or line break embedded in the field?
If you can isolate one of the affected rows, try dumping the characters from the affected field:
DECLARE @FieldValue varchar(100);
SELECT @FieldValue = AffectedField FROM AffectedTable WHERE Key = @AffectedKey;
WITH E1(N) AS
(
SELECT 1
UNION ALL SELECT 1
UNION ALL SELECT 1
UNION ALL SELECT 1
UNION ALL SELECT 1
UNION ALL SELECT 1
UNION ALL SELECT 1
UNION ALL SELECT 1
UNION ALL SELECT 1
UNION ALL SELECT 1
),
cteNumbers (N) As
(
SELECT
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL))
FROM
E1 a, E1 b
)
SELECT TOP(LEN(@FieldValue))
N,
Ascii(Substring(@FieldValue, N, 1)) As AsciiCode,
Substring(@FieldValue, N, 1) As Character
FROM
cteNumbers
ORDER BY
N
;
You're looking for either a 10 or a 13 in the AsciiCode column.
