Convert Numeric Value to Date Format



                                                                                                                                                                      
Scenario:
Suppose you are importing a flat file emp.csv and hire_date colummn is in numeric format, like 20101111 .Our objective is convert it to date,with a format 'YYYYMMDD'.
 Source
  EMPNO       HIRE_DATE(numeric)         
  -------            -----------
     1                20101111
     2                20090909
Target
EMPNO            HIRE_DATE (date)        
 ------                   -----------
     1                   11/11/2010
     2                    09/09/2009

Solution:

  1. Connect SQF to an expression.
  2. In expression make hire_date as input only and make another port hire_date1 as o/p port with date data type.
  3. In o/p port of hire_date write condition like as below
          TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(hire_date),’YYYYMMDD’)

    I enjoyed your post. It’s a lot like college – we should absorb everything we can but ultimately you need to take what you’ve learned and apply it.Nice man. Extremely informative post. I'll be sure to pass this along to my friends.

CMN_1650 A duplicate row was attempted to be inserted into a dynamic lookup cache Dynamic lookup error.

Scenario: I have 2 ports going through a dynamic lookup, and then to a router. In the router it is a simple case of inserting new target rows (NewRowLookup=1) or rejecting existing rows (NewRowLookup=0). However, when I run the session I'm getting the error: "CMN_1650 A duplicate row was attempted to be inserted into a dynamic lookup cache Dynamic lookup error. The dynamic lookup cache only supports unique condition keys." I thought that I was bringing through duplicate values so I put a distinct on the SQ. There is also a not null filter on both ports. However, whilst investigating the initial error that is logged for a specific pair of values from the source, there is only 1 set of them (no duplicates). The pair exists on the target so surely should just return from the dynamic lookup newrowlookup=0. Is this some kind of persistent data in the cache that is causing this to think that it is duplicate data? I haven't got the persistent cache or...

PL/SQL Interview Questions

1.     What is PL/SQL ? PL/SQL is Oracle's Procedural Language extension to SQL. PL/SQL's language syntax, structure and datatypes are similar to that of ADA. The language includes object oriented programming techniques such as encapsulation, function overloading, information hiding (all but inheritance), and so, brings state-of-the-art programming to the Oracle database server and a variety of Oracle tools.   PL SQL is a block structured programming language. It combines data manipulation & data processing power. It supports all SQL data types. Also has its own data types i,e BOOLEAN,BINARY INTEGER 2.    What is the basic structure of PL/SQL ? A PL /SQL block has three parts: a declarative part, an executable part, and an exception-handling part. First comes the declarative part, in which items can be declared. Once declared, items can be manipulated in the executable part. Ex...
