Oracle 11g R2 x64 Client with ODAC Installation Guide

ref: http://devblog.rayonnant.net/2011/04/oracle-11g-r2-x64-client-with-odac.html?showComment=1322568025476#c9080251668350644709


when i run the command "OraProvCfg.exe /action:gac /providerpath:C:\Oracle\app\product\11.2.0\client_1\ODP.NET\bin\4\Oracle.DataAccess.dll"

the system says i need to install .net 4.0. when i had a quick look into the folder i found another one for 2.x so the logic is simple "4" is for .net framework 4 and "2.x" for earlier versions.

Hope this helps someone.

Combine multiple results in a subquery into a single comma-separated value

1. Create the UDF:

CREATE FUNCTION CombineValues(
@F_ID INT --The foreign key from TableA which is used to fetch corresponding records
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(8000)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @SomeColumnList VARCHAR(8000);
SELECT @SomeColumnList = COALESCE(@SomeColumnList + ', ', '') + CAST(SomeColumn AS varchar(20)) FROM TableB CWHERE C.FK_ID = @FK_ID;
RETURN (
SELECT @SomeColumnList)
END

2. Use in subquery:

SELECT ID, Name, dbo.CombineValues(FK_ID) FROM TableA
