How to don't write schema name in oracle sql query?

I have Workspace/Schema EDUCATION in Oracle XE.
In my Java code I want execute queries like this: SELECT * FROM Table instead of SELECT * FROM EDUCATION.Table.
When I write query without EDUCATION I have error: table or view does not exist.
I tried to set the default schema to % (screenshot), but it did not help.
How to avoid writing Workspace/Schema name?

If I understand correctly, you want to access tables in other schemas without using the schema name.
One simple way to do this uses synonyms. In the schema you are connect to:
create synonym table for education.table;
Then you can use table where you would use education.table.

HQL does not ignore values with blank string in column

I am trying to setup a query for my application to pull only values from a table that have a specific column set. Mostly this column will be null, but if you edit and save the item on the application end without putting anything in this field, then it saves a blank string to that database field.
I have tried the TSQL query:
SELECT * from TABLE where COLUMN is not NULL AND COLUMN != ''
This query returns the results I need, but when I run the same query in HQL:
SELECT OBJECT from TABLE where COLUMN is not NULL and COLUMN <> ''
Then it still contains the values that have a blank string in that column. I have tried this using HQL with the operators <> and !=, and have also tried converting it to a criteria object using Restrictions.ne("column","") but nothing seems to provide the result I need.
I tried Length as in the comments, but had no luck. With the length in the query hibernate generates the full query as so. the time_clock_id column is the one that i'm having the problem with. Hibernate is set to SQLServerDialect
select timezone0_.time_zone_id as time1_368_, timezone0_.version as version368_, timezone0_.modification_timestamp as modifica3_368_, timezone0_.time_offset as time4_368_, timezone0_.modification_user as modifica5_368_, timezone0_.name as name368_, timezone0_.description as descript7_368_, timezone0_.active as active368_, timezone0_.time_clock_id as time9_368_ from time_zone timezone0_ where timezone0_.active=1 and (timezone0_.time_clock_id is not null) and len(timezone0_.time_clock_id)>0

Rookie Mistake. There was another place within my action class where I was using a different query to build the select list in the application. This was resulting in the list being overwritten with all values instead of those that use blank. After snipping this duplication I can use the operator column <> '' and I am getting the correct results

Selecting from FileMaker table via JDBC when the table name contains spaces

I am using JDBC to get data out of a file maker server v12.
For some unknown reason filemaker allows you to have spaces in your table names. I am unable to select these tables because I just get a syntax error.
I have written an application in java to get the data out. Does anyone have any idea how i can select the data from a table with a space in it?
EDIT (from OP's comments):
This is the Java part:
String selectSQL = "SELECT "+this.getImportableColumnsString()+" FROM "+this.getTableName();
PreparedStatement preparedStatement = this.connection.prepareStatement(selectSQL);
ResultSet rs = preparedStatement.executeQuery();

As mentioned in a comment to the question, if the FileMaker table name contains spaces then it must be enclosed in double-quotes in the SQL statement, e.g.,
String selectSQL = "SELECT * FROM \"table name\"";

My first thought is that you could put the table name within ' characters like: SELECT * FROM 'my table'. Does this not work?
Otherwise I suggest you contact the Filemaker Server support on this page:
http://help.filemaker.com/app/ask
It is likely that they have had this question before and knows how to build the query.

I'm pretty sure in the docs for OCDB and JDBC support FileMaker says that tables may have to comply to naming conventions that are stricter than what FileMaker allows. It is easy to change table names in FileMaker if you have admin access to the database you are sourcing why not just replace the spaces in the table names with underscores.

How to check if a value exists in table or not in Java?

Can anyone suggest me that how can I check if value entered by user is exist in some specific table or not through javaCode?

I'm guessing you need the JDBC tutorial first of all. That will enable you to run SQL against your DB from Java such as:
if EXISTS (select *
from authors
where name = 'Dan Brown')

How to invertly select columns in sql?

If I have a SQL table with columns:
NR_A, NR_B, NR_C, NR_D, R_A, R_B, R_C
and on runtime, I add columns following the column's sequence such that the next column above would be R_D followed by R_E.
My problem is I need to reset the values of columns that starts with R_ (labeled that way to indicate that it is resettable) back to 0 each time I re-run my script . NR_ columns btw are fixed, so it is simpler to just say something like:
UPDATE table set col = 0 where column name starts with 'NR_'
I know that is not a valid SQL but I think its the best way to state my problem.
Any thoughts?
EDIT: btw, I use postgres (if that would help) and java.

SQL doesn't support dynamically named columns or tables--your options are:
statically define column references
use dynamic SQL to generate & execute the query/queries
Java PreparedStatements do not insulate you from this--they have the same issue, just in Java.

Are you sure you have to add columns during normal operations? Dynamic datamodels are most of the time a realy bad idea. You will see locking and performance problems.
If you need a dynamic datamodel, take a look at key-value storage. PostgreSQL also has the extension hstore, check the contrib.

If you don't have many columns and you don't expect the schema to change, just list them explicitly.
UPDATE table SET NR_A=0;
UPDATE table SET NR_B=0;
UPDATE table SET NR_C=0;
UPDATE table SET NR_D=0;
Otherwise, a simple php script could dynamically build and execute your query:
<?php
$db = pg_connect("host=localhost port=5432 user=postgres password=mypass dbname=mydb");
if(!$db) die("Failed to connect");
$reset_cols = ["A","B","C","D"];
foreach ($col in $reset_cols) {
$sql = "UPDATE my_table SET NR_" . $col . "=0";
pg_query($db,$sql);
}
?>
You could also lookup table's columns in Postgresql by querying the information schema columns tables, but you'll likely need to write a plpgsql function to loop over the query results (one row per table column starting with "NR_").

if you rather using sql query script, you should try to get the all column based on given tablename.
maybe you could try this query to get all column based on given tablename to use in your query.
SELECT attname FROM
pg_attribute, pg_type
WHERE typname = 'tablename' --your table name
AND attrelid = typrelid
AND attname NOT IN ('cmin', 'cmax', 'ctid', 'oid', 'tableoid', 'xmin', 'xmax')
--note that this attname is sys column
the query would return all column with given tablename except system column
