I'm currently using bash on CentOS. DB2 is installed and db2 is on my path.
I have a few lines in a script which are supposed to update my db2 database, but they aren't working. As a minimal reproduction, I can do the exact same thing right in the bash command line and get the same error. Here's that reproduction:
$ db2 connect to PLT02345 user uni using uni; db2 update USM_USER set STATUS = 1 where NAME = 'asm_admin'
I expect this to set STATUS to 1 for everything in PLT02345.USM_USER where the NAME is currently asm_admin.
Instead, I get an error about "ASM_ADMIN" not being valid in the context where it's used. Here's the full output:
Database Connection Information
Database server = DB2/LINUXX8664 10.1.2
SQL authorization ID = UNI
Local database alias = PLT02345
DB21034E The command was processed as an SQL statement because it was not a
valid Command Line Processor command. During SQL processing it returned:
SQL0206N "ASM_ADMIN" is not valid in the context where it is used.
SQLSTATE=42703
I'm confused - what about this makes it not valid? Is bash somehow mutilating the command and not passing everything as it should to db2?
If you're running this from the command line, Bash will drop the 's off 'asm_admin' because it simply assumes you're passing a string. The end result is the SQL becoming WHERE name = asm_admin which is invalid.
To correct this, you need to quote your whole command:
db2 "update USM_USER set STATUS = 1 where NAME = 'asm_admin'"

I have an issue when writing the sql query below in SQL Command line. It asks me "Enter a value for lt:" and then gives error
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
I need to properly read the column that includes '<' or '>' as a string. How can I edit the query to make it works?
Delete from authorization1
where role = 'staff' AND object = ' /department/gradstudent/gpa'
AND predicate = ' & l t ; 2.0') AND action = 'read'
Assuming you are using SQL*Plus or SQL Developer as your front end, this issue is that &foo is the syntax for defining substitution variables. You can
set define off;
before running your script to disable substitution variables. That will stop the front end from prompting you for a value.
I am currently trying to integrate an sql statement into a shell script, But facing major syntax issue:
My statement in the script:
su - <sid>adm -c 'hdbsql -U SYSTEM export "'SCHEMA'"."'*'" as binary into "'Export Location'" with reconfigure'
I get the following error:
* 257: sql syntax error: incorrect syntax near "*": line 1 col 16 (at pos 16) SQLSTATE: HY000
Would really appreciate if anyone could help me with this.
Thanks and Regards,
AK
Your command line doesn't make much sense to me. It starts with
su - <sid>adm
which means that you are redirecting the contents of the file "sid" into "su" and then redirecting the result of that operation into the file "adm".
Second problem is that in the command you are giving to adm, the single quotes end right before the "" which means, that the "" will get interpreted by the shell as a file glob:
-c 'hdbsql -U SYSTEM export "'SCHEMA'"."'*'" as binary into "'Export Location'" with reconfigure'
You'll need to escape those single quotes like this: "\'".
But I think your problem solving approach is not good. Try to reduce to problem and only then start adding additional things to it. So first try to execute the SQL statement from the "hdbsql" shell. Does it work?
$ hdbsql
> YOUR SQL STATEMENT HERE
Once that works, try to execute the SQL statement from the unix shell as a user:
$ hdbsql -U SYSTEM export ...
Once that works, try to execute it via su
$ su - ...
I've got a SQL Server CE table like so:
...and I'm trying to update its solitary record like so:
update workTables
set fileType = "INV"
Yet I get:
Why?

This is from the site:
SYMPTOMS:
When you run a query on a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition version 2.0 database, and the query has a column that contains one or more space characters, the query may not be successful. Additionally, you may receive the following error message:
FAILED: select <Column Name> from <Table Name>
Error: 0x80040e14 DB_E_ERRORSINCOMMAND
Native Error: (25503)
Description: The column name is not valid. [,,,Node name (if any),Column name,]
Interface defining error: IID_ICommand
Param. 0: 0
Param. 1: 0
Param. 2: 0
Param. 3:
Param. 4: col1
Param. 5:
RESOLUTION:
To resolve this problem, enclose the column name that contains spaces in quotation marks (" "), and then run the query. For example, you can run the following query, and the query results are displayed successfully:
SELECT "col1 " FROM testtable
Your query should be:
update [workTables]
set [fileType] = 'INV'
Note: single quotes ^^^^
I have downloaded the DSGEN tool from the TPC-DS web site and already generated the tables and loaded the data into Oracle XE.
I am using the following command to generate the SQL statements :
dsqgen -input ..\query_templates\templates.lst -directory ..\query_templates -dialect oracle -scale 1
However, No matter how I adjust the command I always get this error message :
ERROR: A query template list must be supplied using the INPUT option
Can anybody help?
Apparently you need to use / rather than - for the flags for the Windows executable:
dsqgen /input ..\query_templates\templates.lst /directory ..\query_templates
/dialect oracle /scale 1
I am running PS 4.0 and the following command in interaction with a Veritas Netbackup master server on a Unix host via plink:
PS C:\batch> $testtest = c:\batch\plink blah#blersniggity -pw "blurble" "/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbpemreq -due -date 01/17/2014" | Format-Table -property Status
As you can see, I attempted a "Format-Table" call at the end of this.
The resulting value of the variable ($testtest) is a string that is laid out exactly like the table in the Unix console, with Status, Job Code, Servername, Policy... all that listed in order. But, it populates the variable in Powershell as just that: a vanilla string.
I want to use this in conjunction with a stored procedure on a SQL box, which would be TONS easier if I could format it into a table. How do I use Powershell to tabulate it exactly how it is extracted from the Unix prompt via Plink?
You'll need to parse it and create PS Objects to be able to use the format-* cmdlets. I do enough of it that I wrote this to help:

You'll need to be able to isolate the data and write a regex to capture the bits you want.
