Calculating Totals

Hello,
This data is imported from another system. Need to add certain types of pay, so in this case add their Normal pay and subtract any pay Docks. Later, I would need to add up the other columns as benefits. Challenging part is pay types are scattered among different columns. Not sure if I should attempt to build new tables, or just try to add the fields as they are? Any advice is appreciated!

Hi!
I want to create a stored procedure that has a IN_NROFHOURS as input, indicating number of hours. Then I want to create a cursor that fetches all rows with the following condition:

select * from listtable where startdatetime + in_nrofhours > current timestamp

My questions are:

What is the best datatype for IN_NROFHOURS;
Given the datatype you suggest, how should the "where" condition be stated?

Thanks for your help, I appreciate that.

Hi All,

I am running db2look output sql file which I took from prod in test server.Smaller tables are getting created faster in no time, however partition tables taking too much time and consuming too much disk space.Lets say one single partition table is taking 20 mins to create and consumes disk space between 300 to 500 MB.As this is a test server, disk space is limited.500 MB just for table ddl is unbearable.Is there any way for creating tables without consuming this much disk space?Table creation DDL doesn't have any parameters related to extend allocation.Please find the attached
sample DDL.

Is there anything similar to deffered segment creation like in Oracle in DB2?

DB2 version is DB2 v9.7.0.3 Fix Pack "3a".

Update Global Temporary Table (Sample code provided)

I have been working in T-SQL for many years and need to transition to DB2. I'm finding the syntax is different in many areas so I'm trying to adjust and become better acclimated with this. I can not get my code to Update a temporary table. I am supplying a sample code just for sake of an example. Can someone please advise where I am going wrong with this? I am only using 2 tables just to make it simple as to what I am trying to accomplish as my real code has many other ways I need to update data.

I keep getting an error at the FROM part.

Code:
DECLARE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE SESSION.TEST_TABLE
(
TMP_TIME        TIMESTAMP(6)        ,
TMP_ORDER_ID        INTEGER,
TMP_PRIORITY_CODE        CHARACTER(8
)
ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS not logged with replace;

insert into SESSION.TEST_TABLE
select distinct
ORDER_TIME,
ORDER_ID,
NULL
from
TABLE 1
where
ORDER_TIME between '8/1/2016' and '8/3/2016'

UPDATE SESSION.TEST_TABLE
SET
TMP_PRIORITY_CODE = priority_code
FROM
TABLE 2
WHERE
TMP_ORDER_ID = PRIORITY_ORDER_ID;

select * from SESSION.TEST_TABLE;

Update group of rows in table

Hi,

My first post here...

I need help with one UPDATE statement.

I have one table similar to this:

ID T_ID | TT
---|-----------------
1 | 1dfgr3 | 9
2 | 1dfgr3 | 9
3 | 1dfgr3 | 9
4 | 1dfgr3 | 3
5 | 456sf6 | 9
6 | 456sf6 | 9
7 | 456sf6 | 5
8 | 456sf6 | 9


Now, I have altered table and added new column called TTT and final state of table should be like this:

ID T_ID | TT | TTT
---|---------------------------
1 | 1dfgr3 | 9 | 3
2 | 1dfgr3 | 9 | 3
3 | 1dfgr3 | 9 | 3
4 | 1dfgr3 | 3 | 3
---------------------------------
5 | 456sf6 | 9 | 5
6 | 456sf6 | 9 | 5
7 | 456sf6 | 5 | 5
8 | 456sf6 | 9 | 5

So, UPDATE should be like 'UPDATE TABLE1 SET TTT=(select TT from TABLE1 where TT<>9) but for group of values displayed in T_ID column.

So, question is, how can I update table so it will look for same values in T_ID column, and then search for value in TT which is <> 9 and then make and update to TTT column with single value?

Apache won't start after clone from Sol 10 to Sol 11

Hi All,

We are in the process of migrating our EBS R12.1.3 system onto new hardware. The current o/s is Solaris 10. The new server has Solaris 11. As recommended by Oracle, we used the standard cloning method to achieve this process and have nearly completed our first test migration.

We have however hit an issue whereby when starting the web tier services, Apache fails to start with a 204 error code. It refers to another log file which has the error: 'Can't stat executable /u01/DBA/inst/apps/DBA_svt-ebsapp08/ora/10.1.3/Apache/Apache/bin/.apachectl' (and yes it really does say 'stat'. I think that is an Oracle typo).

This is the first time I have ever encountered the .apachectl hidden file and having looked around the internet, I can find rare instances of this file being mentioned. All I know is that it is a binary file which I think calls apachectl.sh.

I would really appreciate any assistance anyone can give. To be honest, even if anyone can advise what this file does or give any info to help direct us, it would be much appreciated as Oracle themselves appear to know less than I at this stage.

I'll attach the logs just in case anyone is interested. Thanks ;-)

DB Design for SCADA

October 20, 2016, 4:54 pm

Hi All,
I am working on designing a DB for a SCADA system and trying to understand the best approach to tables for the analogue sensors.
Potentially I could have 1000 (maybe even more) sensors across this network all needing to write back to the DB.

I plan to have a table detailing grouping of inputs into logical nodes and another grouping logical nodes into groups.
At this point I am unsure how to store the actual samples, however I am thinking of a new table for each input. This will allow time stamped data to be stored separately for each input.
This would mean that ever time a new input is added to the network, a new table would need to be created.
It would also allow for easy archiving of data when inputs are removed and prevent any corruption of a single sensors table affecting all of the data.

The problem with this is I am not sure how to then set up the relationships with the other tables unless I enter the input ID into every entry which would be redundant data.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Declare and Execute Variable in Ad-Hoc Query (code is provided)

I've primarily work in Rapid SQL (Sybase) for over 10 years now but need to use DB2 at times and finding there are differences with declaring variables among other things. Here is an example of what I'm trying to accomplish. It works fine with Declaring my Temp table and manually adding the dates but can't get the Date variables to work of which I can do this easily in Sybase Rapid SQL (different from this of course). Could someone help me understand what I'm missing and how I can get my date variable to execute in the select query?

I'm using 10.5 DB2.

Code:
Begin Atomic   
Declare v_BeginDate Timestamp;
Declare v_EndDate Timestamp;

Set
v_BeginDate = '8/1/2016',
v_EndDate = '8/3/2016';
End

DECLARE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE SESSION.TEST_TABLE
(
TMP_TIME        TIMESTAMP(6)        ,
TMP_ORDER_ID        INTEGER,

initdb running while installing PostgreSQL 9.5 on Windows

Hello,

I had a question about PostgreSQL 9.5 installation on WIndows. I am trying to upgrade my server from PostgreSQL 9.3 to 9.5 and I noticed a difference while installing PG9.5 . I use this script to install PG 9.5 :

Code:
postgresql-9.5.4-1.exe --serviceaccount postgres --servicepassword DataBase1 --servicename PostgreSQL95 --prefix C:\Database\postgresql --datadir C:\Database\datadir\postgresql --mode unattended
When I execute this script, it runs the initdb, creates the DataDir (i.e. C:\Database\datadir\postgresql) , also creates the PostgreSQL95 service and starts it which was not the case with PostgreSQL 9.3 . I used the same script for 9.3 and it did not 1. Run the initdb and created the data directory 2. Register the DB service and start it during the time of installation.

I wanted to know if there is a way to just install PG9.5 without running initdb and getting the DB service registered?

I do not want to use the --extract-only option.

Thanks

Regionalization -- Round II

At a food bank in Gatineau Quebec, I am putting together a program to track volunteer hours. The hours are in a doubles field, with hours and portions of hours (e.g. 3.5 hours). I take this data, and report it as a crosstab (by month and year), with columns being the month. For each year, I want to total the months.

When totallying, I explicidly turn each field total into a numeric value using "val()". If one does't do this, Access treats each field in the report as a text field, and concatenates the fields in the total (ie. 12 + 2 becomes 122). All good so far; using " = val(t1]) + val([t2]) +....... " works fine with values and fractional values on an Windows American or English formatted system. On a French system, however, val() appears to strip out all fractional values. so that 38.5 becomes 38. The French system replaces a period with a comma (e.g. 38.1 becomes 38,1). This behaviour causes totals to be understated (and wrong)

When I return to the foodbank, I will try to use the CDBL function instead of val() on their French-formatted machines to see if this helps.CDBL works in place of val() on English-formatted systems. Anyone have any experience with this problem?

Can any one tell me why expression builder is not accepting expressions it shows to be valid? If you look at the examples it gives on the left side of the window you see "="Tomorrow is " & DateAdd("d",1,Today())" but if you cut and paste "DateAdd("d",1,Today())" example to the expression window it gives error on the parenthesis after Today(). In my case I am trying to default a date selection to 30 days back from today. I thought it was my expression but seeing it gets the same error on the example they show I'm not sure this isn't a bug.

Pass Multiple Values from a Variable (sample code provided)

October 24, 2016, 11:48 am
$

I am adjusting from Rapid SQL on a Sybase Server to DB2. This standard approach works well when passing multiple values assigned to a variable with a ", " separating each value in that variable:

In this case I am looking for the "product_code" that has one of the values in that variable. In this example I want to pull product_code A or B or C.
Code:
declare
@variable varchar(100)

select @variable = 'a,b,c'

select distinct * from table 1
where
(@variable = "*ALL"  or charindex(ltrim(rtrim(product_code))+",", ltrim(rtrim(@variable))+",") > 0)

I understand now how to use the Begin Atomic method for variable such as this but struggling with the equivalent approach from T-SQL to DB2 to read each variable value separated by a comma if I were to add one to this piece of code. Would a REPLACE function work somehow or an index value?:

Code:
drop table SESSION.DAILY_READ_REP;
DECLARE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE SESSION.TEST_TABLE
(
    TMP_TIME            TIMESTAMP(6),
    TMP_ORDER_ID        INTEGER,
    TMP_PRIORITY_CODE  CHARACTER(8)
)
on commit preserve rows not logged with replace;
begin atomic
 declare v_BeginDate timestamp ;
 declare v_EndDate timestamp ;

 set v_BeginDate = timestamp('2016-08-01');
 set v_EndDate = timestamp('2016-08-01');
    insert into SESSION.TEST_TABLE
        select distinct
              ORDER_TIME,
              ORDER_ID,

Query: Filtering 2 columns from same table

I have been trying to figure this out but I just can't seem to get it done. I'm posting here in hopes that someone may have a solution. Here is the scenario:
I have 1 Table with a few columns, the two columns i want to filter are date(yy-mm-dd) and time (in decimal format). I want to get the row with the latest
date and time. Here is what I am working with right now:
Code:
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=xx_xxxxxxxx", $username, $password);
$connII = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=xx_xxxxxxxx", $username, $password);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$connII->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);

$stmtII = $connII->prepare("SELECT * FROM allbugs");
$stmtII->execute();

foreach ($stmtII->fetchall() as $rowII){
        $stmt = $conn->prepare("
        SELECT tt.*
        FROM bugs tt
        INNER JOIN
                (SELECT symbol, value, MAX(date) AS MaxDate, time
                FROM bugs
                GROUP BY symbol) groupedtt
        ON tt.symbol = '".$rowII['symbol']."'
        AND tt.date = groupedtt.MaxDate
        GROUP BY tt.time DESC LIMIT 1
");
$stmt->execute();
Now the output should look like the following:
[SYMBOL] --- [VALUE] --- [DATE] --- [TIME],
With the row being the latest entry for the current date
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
