Consider below scenario: Table T1 (f1, f2, f3); Data files: a|b|c|d w|x|y|z I want to load this data skipping the second field as follow: f1 f2 f3 --- --- --- a d c w z y Would really appreciate your help or any pointer in constructing the control file to achieve this. Define the column you want to skip as FILLER. Keep in mind the order of the columns in the control file is typically the order they are in the datafile. If the name matches a column in the table, that's where it will go. ... ( f1 CHAR, -- 1st field in the file, goes to column named f1 in the table X FILLER, -- 2nd field in the

If I execute a simple select statement in pl/sql developer against a database table, I get a standard set of results back as I would expect. Recently, I pasted a query from a stored procedure that happened to select from a view, and noticed that a transaction was seemingly left open. This was appraent by the rollback and commit options were available in PL/SQL developer. A poll of other developers revealed that this seems to affect some but not others, which lead me to suspect PL/SQL Developer settings. Why on earth would this be the case? The view itelf has a DBLink to another database, but I

I'm running some queries in PL/SQL Developer, and one of the columns in the result has 18-digit numbers. Instead of displaying the entire number in the resulting grid, PL/SQL Developer displays only 15 digits in scientific notation. I tried to find a way to change this in the preferences of the program, so that I'll see the entire number, just like set numwidth does in SQL*Plus. But my search was futile. How do I change this setting? Turns out this is possible!!! Tools -> Preferences -> SQL Window -> Number fields to_char RiKl Use to_char, then you get the all the numbers: select to_char ( t

My date value is stored as varchar2 and the value is 15/August/2009,4:30 PM , how to convert this to a proper date format like DD-MM-YYYY . You can convert a string to a DATE using the TO_DATE function, then reformat the date as another string using TO_CHAR, i.e.: SELECT TO_CHAR( TO_DATE('15/August/2009,4:30 PM' ,'DD/Month/YYYY,HH:MI AM') ,'DD-MM-YYYY') FROM DUAL; 15-08-2009 For example, if your table name is MYTABLE and the varchar2 column is MYDATESTRING: SELECT TO_CHAR( TO_DATE(MYDATESTRING ,'DD/Month/YYYY,HH:MI AM') ,'DD-MM-YYYY') FROM MYTABLE; PenFold You need to use the TO_DATE function.

I have a database "TEST", to which I connect at address 123.45.67.89:1521. How do I connect to it using PL/SQL Developer? I would recommend creating a TNSNAMES.ORA file. From your Oracle Client install directory, navigate to NETWORK\ADMIN. You may already have a file called TNSNAMES.ORA, if so edit it, else create it using your favorite text editor. Next, simply add an entry like this: MYDB = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 123.45.67.89)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = TEST)(SERVER = DEDICATED)) ) You can change MYDB to whatever you like, this is the identifier that

The same query ran in PL/SQL Developer shows time, however it does not show in Oracle SQL Developer. Is there a way to get the time in SQL Developer? In SQL Developer: In PL/SQL: This is the details of the date field: You can change this in the Tools / Preferences dialog of SQL developer: Select Database / NLS Parameters in the tree view on the left. Then put dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss into the Date Format field. Press OK to close the dialog. user4550960 To make it simple: use to_char() function, it will work with SQL developer as well as Pl/sql. select to_char(sysdate,'MM-DD-YYYY HH:Mi:SS') from
