Date format with Quickpart Database in Word - ms-word

I try to change the date format in a quickpart database function.
The format is in American (mm/d/yyyy) but i want to change in the French format (dd.MM.yyyy).
This is my code :
DATABASE \d "C:\Users\taagede1\Dropbox\Samaritains\Soldes et
indemnités\2018\Total soldes.xlsx" \c
"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;User ID=Admin;Data
Source=C:\Users\taagede1\Dropbox\Samaritains\Soldes et
indemnités\2018\Total soldes.xlsx;Mode=Read;Extended
Properties=\"HDR=YES;IMEX=1;\";Jet OLEDB:System database=\"\";Jet
OLEDB:Registry Path=\"\";Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=37;Jet OLEDB:Database

OLEDB:Create System Database=False;Jet OLEDB:Encrypt

OLEDB:Compact Without Replica Repair=False;Jet OLEDB:SFP=False;Jet
OLEDB:Support Complex Data=False;Jet OLEDB:Bypass UserInfo

ChoiceField Validation=False" \s "SELECT Quoi, Date , Heure
Début, Heure Fin, Total FROM Engagements$ WHERE ((NomPrenom =
'AubortLoic') AND (Payé IS NULL )) ORDER BY Date" \l "26" \b "191"
\h
This is the result:
I have tried to add this:
{ DATABASE [\# "dd.MM.yyyy"] \* MERGEFORMAT }
But i have a very ugly result (all buggy)

The OLEDB driver for Excel (and Access - it's the same one) supports a limited number of functions that can be used on the data via the Select query, among them Format. It's similar, but not identical to the VBA function of the same name.
In my test the following Select phrase worked (extracted from the Database field code for better visibility):
\s "SELECT Quoi, Format([Date], 'dd.MM.yyyy') AS FrDate, Heure
Début, Heure Fin, Total FROM Engagements$ WHERE ((NomPrenom = 'AubortLoic') AND (Payé IS NULL )) ORDER BY Date
Note that the date format is in single, not double quotes. You can use anything for the alias (the column header), except another field name. So it can't be Date if that's the field name in the data source. It could be Le Date, but in this case, due to the spaces, it would have to be in square brackets: [Le Date].

DB2 SQL Error: SQLCODE=-302 while executing prepared statement

I have a SQL query which takes user inputs hence security flaw is present.
The existing query is:
SELECT BUS_NM, STR_ADDR_1, CITY_NM, STATE_CD, POSTAL_CD, COUNTRY_CD,
BUS_PHONE_NB,PEG_ACCOUNT_ID, GDN_ALERT_ID, GBIN, GDN_MON_REF_NB,
ALERT_DT, ALERT_TYPE, ALERT_DESC,ALERT_PRIORITY
FROM ( SELECT A.BUS_NM, AE.STR_ADDR_1, A.CITY_NM, A.STATE_CD, A.POSTAL_CD,
CC.COUNTRY_CD, A.BUS_PHONE_NB, A.PEG_ACCOUNT_ID, 'I' ||
LPAD(INTL_ALERT_DTL_ID, 9,'0') GDN_ALERT_ID,
LPAD(IA.GBIN, 9,'0') GBIN, IA.GDN_MON_REF_NB,
DATE(IAD.ALERT_TS) ALERT_DT,
XMLCAST(XMLQUERY('$A/alertTypeConfig/biqCode/text()' passing
IAC.INTL_ALERT_TYPE_CONFIG as "A") AS CHAR(4)) ALERT_TYPE,
, ROW_NUMBER() OVER () AS "RN"
FROM ACCOUNT A, Other tables
WHERE IA.GDN_MON_REF_NB = '100'
AND A.PEG_ACCOUNT_ID = IAAR.PEG_ACCOUNT_ID
AND CC.COUNTRY_CD = A.COUNTRY_ISO3_CD
ORDER BY IA.INTL_ALERT_ID ASC )
WHERE ALERT_TYPE IN (" +TriggerType+ ");
I changed it to accept TriggerType from setString like:
SELECT BUS_NM, STR_ADDR_1, CITY_NM, STATE_CD, POSTAL_CD, COUNTRY_CD,
BUS_PHONE_NB,PEG_ACCOUNT_ID, GDN_ALERT_ID, GBIN, GDN_MON_REF_NB,
ALERT_DT, ALERT_TYPE, ALERT_DESC,ALERT_PRIORITY
FROM ( SELECT A.BUS_NM, AE.STR_ADDR_1, A.CITY_NM, A.STATE_CD, A.POSTAL_CD,
CC.COUNTRY_CD, A.BUS_PHONE_NB, A.PEG_ACCOUNT_ID,
'I' || LPAD(INTL_ALERT_DTL_ID, 9,'0') GDN_ALERT_ID,
LPAD(IA.GBIN, 9,'0') GBIN, IA.GDN_MON_REF_NB,
DATE(IAD.ALERT_TS) ALERT_DT,
XMLCAST(XMLQUERY('$A/alertTypeConfig/biqCode/text()' passing
IAC.INTL_ALERT_TYPE_CONFIG as "A") AS CHAR(4)) ALERT_TYPE,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER () AS "RN"
FROM ACCOUNT A, other tables
WHERE IA.GDN_MON_REF_NB = '100'
AND A.PEG_ACCOUNT_ID = IAAR.PEG_ACCOUNT_ID
AND CC.COUNTRY_CD = A.COUNTRY_ISO3_CD
ORDER BY IA.INTL_ALERT_ID ASC )
WHERE ALERT_TYPE IN (?);
Setting trigger type as below:
if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(request.getTriggerType())) {
preparedStatement.setString(1, triggerType != null ? triggerType.toString() : "");
}
Getting error as
Caused by: com.ibm.db2.jcc.am.SqlDataException: DB2 SQL Error: SQLCODE=-302, SQLSTATE=22001, SQLERRMC=null, DRIVER=4.19.26
The -302 SQLCODE indicates a conversion error of some sort.
SQLSTATE 22001 narrows that down a bit by telling us that you are trying to force a big string into a small variable. Given the limited information in your question, I am guessing it is the XMLCAST that is the culprit.
DB2 won't jam 30 pounds of crap into a 4 pound bag so to speak, it gives you an error. Maybe giving XML some extra room in the cast might be a help. If you need to make sure it ends up being only 4 characters long, you could explicitly do a LEFT(XMLCAST( ... AS VARCHAR(64)), 4). That way the XMLCAST has the space it needs, but you cut it back to fit your variable on the fetch.
The other thing could be that the variable being passed to the parameter marker is too long. DB2 will guess the type and length based on the length of ALERT_TYPE. Note that you can only pass a single value through a parameter marker. If you pass a comma separated list, it will not behave as expected (unless you expect ALERT_TYPE to also contain a comma separated list). If you are getting the comma separated list from a table, you can use a sub-select instead.
Wrong IN predicate use with a parameter.
Do not expect that IN ('AAAA, M250, ABCD') (as you try to do passing a comma-separated string as a single parameter) works as IN ('AAAA', 'M250', 'ABCD') (as you need). These predicates are not equivalent.
You need some "string tokenizer", if you want to pass such a comma-separated string like below.
select t.*
from
(
select XMLCAST(XMLQUERY('$A/alertTypeConfig/biqCode/text()' passing IAC.INTL_ALERT_TYPE_CONFIG as "A") AS CHAR(4)) ALERT_TYPE
from table(values xmlparse(document '<alertTypeConfig><biqCode>M250, really big code</biqCode></alertTypeConfig>')) IAC(INTL_ALERT_TYPE_CONFIG)
) t
--WHERE ALERT_TYPE IN ('AAAA, M250, ABCD')
join xmltable('for $id in tokenize($s, ",\s?") return <i>{string($id)}</i>'
passing cast('AAA, M250 , ABCD' as varchar(200)) as "s"
columns token varchar(200) path '.') x on x.token=t.ALERT_TYPE
;
Run the statement as is. Then you may uncomment the string with WHERE clause and comment out the rest to see what you try to do.
P.S.:
The error you get is probably because you don't specify the data type of the parameter (you don't use something like IN (cast(? as varchar(xxx))), and db2 compiler assumes that its length is equal to the length of the ALERT_TYPE expression (4 bytes).

intersystem cache C# query with datetime

When I use cache sql query in C# I'm getting an error:
SQLtext1 = "SELECT top 10 * FROM dbo.DAPPLICATIONSTAT where TIMESTAMP = '2015-02-01 00:00:00'"
I would like to use a where clause with a datetime filter.
I am using InterSystems.Data.CacheClient.dll to execute the query.

how to use chinese character in pymysql to create table?

1.sqlite3
import sqlite3
con=sqlite3.connect("g:\\mytest1.db")
cur=con.cursor()
cur.execute('create table test (上市 TEXT)')
con.commit()
cur.close()
con.close()
I successfully create a test table mytest1.db ,and a chinese character name "上市" as field.
2.in mysql command console.
C:\Users\root>mysql -uroot -p
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
mysql> create database mytest2;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> use mytest2;
Database changed
mysql> set names "gb2312";
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> create table stock(上市 TEXT) ;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.07 sec)
The conclusion can be get : chinese characters can be used in mysql console.

same errrors such as in pymysql.
UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode characters in position 22-23: o

It is surely a bug in python mysql module that chinese characters can not be used as field name.
1.Chinese characters can be used as field name in python sqlite3 module.
2.Chinese characters can be used as field name in mysql console only if you 'set name "gb2312" '
pymysql.connect() accepts a charset argument. I have tested charset="utf8" and charset="gb2312" and both works (Python 3, PyMySQL 0.6.2). You don't need to use a "SET NAMES" query in this case.
import pymysql
con = pymysql.connect(host='127.0.0.1', port=3306,
user='root', passwd='******',
charset="utf8")
cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute("create database if not exists mytest31")
cur.execute("use mytest31")
cur.execute("create table stock(上市 TEXT)")
con.commit()
You're encodeing when you should decode. To convert a Chinese character to a unicode character, use:
"上市".decode("GB18030")
Which is an encoding generally used for Chinese chars. latin-1 will not work as most Chinese characters are not within its scope. The GB18030 encoding should work, but if not, there are a host of other encodings you can try, like gbk or big5_hkscs (generally for encodings done within HK/China).
Unicode errors are easy to spot, they show up as u'\ufffd' (which when encoded will be a diamond with a question mark in the middle).
I hope this was helpful!
Edit: I'm somewhat confused by your comment.
>>> print type("上市")
<type 'str'>
>>> print type("上市".decode("GB18030"))
<type 'unicode'>
str.decode() returns unicode.

How to represent spaces in Perl's DBI properly

I have a record in an Informix table. The table columns look like this:
acct_no integer,
suffix char(1),
meter_num char(20),
date_read datetime year to second not null ,
counter smallint,
reading integer not null ,
typeofread char(1),
estimated char(1),
time_billed datetime year to second
Using Informix's dbaccess tool:
select *
from ws_mtrread
where acct_no = 113091000
and suffix = " "
order by date_read desc;
this result (newest shown) is returned and works whether or not I use one or two spaces for suffix.
acct_no 113091000
suffix
meter_num 34153205
date_read 2013-09-09 23:31:15
counter 0
reading 1240
typeofread g
estimated
time_billed 2013-10-22 11:48:21
However, this Perl DBI query
my $sql_statement =
"select * ".
"from ws_mtrread ".
"where acct_no = ? ".
"and suffix = ? ".
"order by date_read desc ; ";
does not work. I can fetch the row without specifying $suffix, so I know the row exists.
I believe this is an error on my part in representing the suffix. In this example suffix is equal to a string of two spaces.
How do I represent spaces correctly, so the query works? Here is the rest of the code I used to fetch the row.
my $test_acct_no = 113091000;
my $suffix = " ";
my $pt_sel_hdl = $DBHdl->prepare($sql_statement);
$pt_sel_hdl->execute($test_acct_no, $DBHdl->quote($suffix));
my $ws_mtr_read_rec_ref = $pt_sel_hdl->fetchrow_hashref;
After the call, $ws_mtr_read_rec_ref is undefined.
Don't use DBI's quote method here:
$pt_sel_hdl->execute($test_acct_no, $DBHdl->quote($suffix));
When you use ? placeholders in your SQL, the database driver will correctly parameterize the query arguments that you pass to execute. You are probably creating a query that is searching for the literal string " " (including the quotes) when you want to search for (just two spaces.)
So this should be all you need:
$pt_sel_hdl->execute($test_acct_no, $suffix);

Why can't I enter a NULL value using Numeric or Date type in Postgresql?

I'm doing a little application for the work and it includes a form. When the person using the form doesn't put a value in a data type "numeric" (lets say a PIN number) or even a date in one of my "date" Data Type fields (lets say his anniverssary), it returns me with the errors as follow:
Error Type – Type d'erreur
_Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)_
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type numeric: ""; Error while executing the query
Error Type – Type d'erreur
_Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)_
ERROR: syntax error at or near ")"; Error while executing the query
So it seems that when the person using the form enters nothing, it returns the string "empty" that is "".
Why can't the numeric type and data type read that as a NULL entry? These fields are not mandatory and so I need to have them be sometimes blank.
How can I make it possible? Is their a way to keep using "numeric" and "date" type so that when the user enters nothing in those fields, the table fills with a blank case insted of giving me this error?
Here is my sql statement :
trsConn.EXECUTE "INSERT INTO ""TRS"".employeetbl ( "& _
"""firstName"", " & _
"""lastName"" , " & _
"""detContract"", " & _
"sle, " & _
"""posNumber"" "& _
") VALUES (" & _
"'" & Request.Form("empFirst") & "', " & _**
"'" & Replace(Request.Form("empLast"), "'", "`") & "', " & _
"'" & Request.Form("dateContract") & "', " & _
"'" & Request.Form("sle") & "', " & _
"'" & Request.Form("posNum") & "');"
(The posNum and dateContract are both respectivly of type "numeric" and "date"
Thanks so much for the help. Looking forward for hearing what you geniuses have to say.
The concept of NULL in SQL is pretty muddled and inconsistent ... but it's very clear that '' is distinct from NULL.
'' isn't NULL, it's '', the empty string. You can't convert it to a date, number, etc:
regress=# SELECT CAST('' AS DATE);
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type date: ""
LINE 1: SELECT CAST('' AS DATE);
^
regress=# SELECT CAST('' AS NUMERIC);
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type numeric: ""
LINE 1: SELECT CAST('' AS NUMERIC);
^
Some products - notably Microsoft Access and old versions of MySQL - are confused about that matter. NULL is NULL, '' is the empty string; they aren't the same thing. You can't convert one to the other.
So it seems that when the person using the form enters nothing, it
returns the string "empty" that is "". Why can't the numeric type and
data type read that as a NULL entry? These fields are not mandatory
and so I need to have them be sometimes blank.
That's your application's job. When your app it sees the empty string come in on a form field for a numeric, date, or similar, it should send NULL to the database, not ''. That's normally a routine part of converting data from user input before it's supplied to the database. It is vital that you do such conversion; you should never just send values from the user straight to the database.
A quick search suggests that asp classic uses null or undefined as its null values; you should be able to pass them into your prepared statements when something is null.
The fact that you get a syntax error after the error about '' suggests that you're building your SQL statements as strings, not using prepared statements with placeholders. (Thanks JayC for the SO question ref). This is begging for SQL injection; in other words your application is critically insecure. Imagine what happens if the user enters the "date":
2012-01-01'); DROP SCHEMA public;--
and your app happily turns that into
INSERT INTO sometable (blah, blah, blah) VALUES (1, 2, DATE '2012-01-01'); DROP SCHEMA public;--');
The DROP SCHEMA then merrily executes and whoops, splat, there goes your database. That's just the dumbest, simplest kind of SQL injection attack too.
