I have a table in which there is a column name associated_ids with datatype as varchar2(4000). It contains a value and i need to append the new value with existing value. Using below update query:
update ncl_getafix.service_graph
set Associated_ids = Associated_ids + ',' + '95d4980b-d12c-4854-97c6-bd9854f8f003'
where SERVICE_ID='075d7a58-7fad-4e1d-9822-83a2fa1a0d05';
I am getting below error:
Error starting at line : 5 in command - update
ncl_getafix.service_graph set
Associated_ids=Associated_ids+','+'95d4980b-d12c-4854-97c6-bd9854f8f003'
where SERVICE_ID='075d7a58-7fad-4e1d-9822-83a2fa1a0d05'
Error report - ORA-01722: invalid number.
Can anyone help to debug this.
You need to use concat operator || not + as follows:
update ncl_getafix.service_graph
set Associated_ids = Associated_ids || ',' || '95d4980b-d12c-4854-97c6-bd9854f8f003'
where SERVICE_ID='075d7a58-7fad-4e1d-9822-83a2fa1a0d05';
i found the answer.
Use || symbol instead of + in query

I have the below select statement in hive .It executes perfectely fine.
In Hive
select
COALESCE(product_name,CONCAT(CONCAT(CONCAT(TRIM(product_id),' -
'),trim(plan_code)),' - UNKNOWN')) as product_name
from table name;
I am trying to use the same select statement in POSTGRESQL and it throw me error saying "
Query execution failed
Reason:
SQL Error [42883]: ERROR: function concat(text, unknown) does not exist
Hint: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.
In postgresql:
select
COALESCE(product_name,CONCAT(CONCAT(CONCAT(TRIM(product_id),' -
'),trim(plan_code)),' - UNKNOWN')) as product_name
from table name;
Could some one throw some light on this ?
Instead of concat try with ||:
SELECT COALESCE(product_name,
(TRIM(product_id) || ' - ' || TRIM(plan_code) || ' - UNKNOWN')
) AS product_name
FROM tablename;
or simply a single CONCAT as:
SELECT COALESCE(product_name,
CONCAT(TRIM(product_id)::text, ' - ', TRIM(plan_code)::text, ' - UNKNOWN')
) AS product_name
FROM tablename;
You can also consider using format function:
SELECT coalesce(product_name, format('%s - %s - UNKNOWN', trim(product_id), trim(plan_code)))
Is it possible to update a variable with a concatenation of variables(columns of VARCHARS2)?
UPDATE ARTICLE
SET DESCRIPTION = (CPV_DESCRIPTION + '/' LEVEL1_DESCRIPTION + LEVEL2_DESCRIPTION+LEVEL3_DESCRIPTION)
WHERE ID_ARTICULO = 209;
UPDATE ARTICLE
SET DESCRIPTION = concat(CPV_DESCRIPTION,'/',LEVEL1_DESCRIPTION,' ',LEVEL2_DESCRIPTION' 'LEVEL3_DESCRIPTION)
WHERE ID_ARTICULO = 209;
Both cases it gives me an error.
As mentioned by #a_horse... concat() function only takes 2 parameters. When you specify more that 2 parameters to be concated, you need to use || operator. Also + is a logical operator in Oracle unlike its used in Java for concatenation. Try this:
UPDATE ARTICLE
SET DESCRIPTION = CPV_DESCRIPTION
|| '/'
||LEVEL1_DESCRIPTION
||' '
||LEVEL2_DESCRIPTION
||' '
||LEVEL3_DESCRIPTION
WHERE ID_ARTICULO = 209;
I've this value: 1.234.567,00 $ and i will update this in another table, with the following code:
UPDATE
TABLETWO
SET
USERDEFINED = CAST(CAST(INSERTED.NETAMOUNT AS VARCHAR) + ' ' + INSERTED.CURRENCY AS VARCHAR(128)),
FROM
INSERTED
WHERE
INSERTED.TABLEID = XDFDOCVECTOR.TABLEID
The output is 1.23467e+006 (in Webview) and in the Database 1234667 ?
The correct output must be: 1.234.567,00 (in webciew) and 1234567 in database
SET #SQLSTATEMENT = 'INSERT INTO #MAX_STORAGE
SELECT MAX(A.[ROW])
FROM
(SELECT *
FROM [DATABASE].[dbo].[Refined_Est_Probability_09_MODIFIED]
WHERE
[FIPST_ENT] = ' + #FIPST_ENT + '
AND [FIPCNTY_ENT] = ' + #FIPCNTY_ENT + '
AND [SIC_ENT] = ' + #SIC2_ENT + '
AND [FMSZ_ENT] = ' + #FMSZENT_ENT + '
AND [ESTABLISHMENTS_AVAILABLE_FMSZEST <= ' + #MAXIMUM_FMSZEST+'] > 0) A'
EXEC(#SQLSTATEMENT)
I was running the dynamic SQL query above as part of a stored procedure I had written and got the following error:
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 7
Invalid column name 'A'.
I then changed my query so that it looked like this (eliminated the alias A):
SET #SQLSTATEMENT =
'INSERT INTO #MAX_STORAGE
SELECT
MAX([ROW])
FROM
(SELECT *
FROM [DATABASE].[dbo].[Refined_Est_Probability_09_MODIFIED]
WHERE [FIPST_ENT] = ' + #FIPST_ENT + '
AND [FIPCNTY_ENT] = ' + #FIPCNTY_ENT + '
AND [SIC_ENT] = ' + #SIC2_ENT + '
AND [FMSZ_ENT] = ' + #FMSZENT_ENT + '
AND [ESTABLISHMENTS_AVAILABLE_FMSZEST <= ' + #MAXIMUM_FMSZEST + '] > 0)'
EXEC(#SQLSTATEMENT)
But I still ran into an error (this time different):
Msg 102, level 15, state 1, line 9
Incorrect syntax near ')'
I declared the following variables earlier in the procedure with their respective data types/lengths seen next to them:
#FIPST_ENT CHAR(2)
#FIPCNTY_ENT CHAR(3)
#SIC2_ENT CHAR(2)
#FMSZENT_ENT CHAR(1)
#MAXIMUM_FMSZENT CHAR(1)
#SQLSTATEMENT VARCHAR(MAX)
Before this dynamic SQL statement was reached in the stored procedure, the temporary table #MAX_STORAGE was already created and contains only one column of datatype int.
Am I missing something I'm doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
At bare minimum, you need to enclose string fields in escaped-single-quotes within the Dynamic SQL. The adaptation I show below is based on this comment on the Question:
FIPST_ENT is numeric in nature (i.e. 01-50) but cast as a character. Likewise with the other FIPCNTY_ENT and SIC2_ENT. FMSZENT is cast as a character but is sometimes numeric (i.e. 1-9) and other times non-numeric (i.e. A-C).
So it seems that only FMSZENT needs the escaped-single-quotes.
Also, using a derived query requires an alias. So whatever the initial problem was, you then introduced a new parse error by removing the alias ;-).
SET #SQLSTATEMENT =
'INSERT INTO #MAX_STORAGE
SELECT MAX(tmp.[ROW]) FROM
(SELECT * FROM [DATABASE].[dbo].[Refined_Est_Probability_09_MODIFIED]
WHERE [FIPST_ENT] = '+#FIPST_ENT+'
AND [FIPCNTY_ENT] = '+#FIPCNTY_ENT+'
AND [SIC_ENT] = '+#SIC2_ENT+'
AND [FMSZ_ENT] = '''+#FMSZENT_ENT+'''
AND [ESTABLISHMENTS_AVAILABLE_FMSZEST<='+#MAXIMUM_FMSZEST+'] > 0) tmp;'
Now, when it comes to debugging Dynamic SQL, the first step should be looking at what SQL you actually constructed, as it might not be what you think it should be:
PRINT #SQLSTATEMENT;
So what I need is to append a string in a column on a firebird database everytime I run the update, I'm trying:
update clients set cliobs = coalesce(cliobs, '') || 'newstring' where cod = 1
I get the 1 record(s) was(were) updated but the end result is:
coalesce(cliobs, ') || newstring
Any ideas how to do this?
