Column Name

Hi all,
I am getting table name those tables had primary key from this Query:
SELECT      TABLE_NAME FROM ALL_CONSTRAINTS
          WHERE      CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'P'
          ORDER BY TABLE_NAME
I need column name also is it possible to get column name also.
Thanks

Please, use the same answer that was already given in three other threads of yours. It starts to get annoying to hear the same question again and again.

How to rename C00n generic column names in a Dynamic SQL report

I have a an interface whereby the user can select 1 to 60 (upper limit) columns out of 90 possible columns (using a shuttle) from one table before running a report.
To construct the SQL that will eventually execute, I'm using a "PLSQL function body returning SQL query" with dynamic SQL. The only problem is that I have to use "Generic Column Names" option to be able to compile the code and end up with c001 to c060 as the column names.
How can I use the names of the selected columns as the report headings rather than c001, C002... etc?
I do not know beforehand which columns, or how many columns or the order of the selected columns.
I know Denes K has a demo called Pick Columns but I can't access his code. I have a hunch though that he may be just using conditions to hide/show the apropriate columns.
thanks in advance

Hi Paul
I would change the Heading Type in the Report Details screen to PLSQL and use the shuttle item to return the column values. e.g.
RETURN :p1_shuttle;
I'm assuming the shuttle already has a colon separated list of the column headings in the correct order?
I hope that helps

Reading MS Project column names and data on the fly from a selected View

Hi guys,
I have several views on my project file (MSPROJECT 2010) and I want to build a macro so that;
1. User can select any view ( Views can have diffrent columns and the user may add new columns as well)
2. User runs the Macro and all the coulmns along with the tasks displayed in the view will be written to a excel file. ( I don't want to build several macro's for each view, I'm thinking of a common method which would work for any selected view)
The problem I'm facing is that how will i read the column names and data for a particular view on the fly without hard coding them inside the vba code ?
The solution needs to work on a master schedule as well.
Appreciate your feedback.

Just to get you started the following code writes the field name and data for the active task to the Immediate window.
Sub CopyData()
Dim fld As TableField
For Each fld In ActiveProject.TaskTables(ActiveProject.CurrentTable).TableFields
If fld.Field >= 0 Then
Debug.Print Application.FieldConstantToFieldName(fld.Field), ActiveCell.Task.GetField(fld.Field)
End If
Next fld
End Sub

Oracle 10g - Defining the column name in Non English

Hi Experts,
I have an exisitng application which is developed on Windows using ASP Technology and uses Oracle 10g 10.1.0.2.0.
The application is supported with an instance of Data Base within which multiple tablespaces are created for different clients. The application is developed in such a way that some of the tables arecreated dynamically and the columns are named using the data entered through the UI.
This application needs to be globalized now. The problem is, the column name entered through the UI can be in any language based on the client's settings and those values in turn will be used for naming the columns in the tables.
1) Can I have the column names to be named using non english characters in Oracle 10g DB? If so,
1.1) what should I do to configure the exisiting Oracle instance to support it?
1.2) To what level is that configuration possible, is it per DB instance level (or) can it be done at Tablespace level. I would like to configure each tablespace to host tables with columns defined with different languages, say for example, tablespace 1 will have tables with Japaenese column names and tablespace 2 will have tables with German column names?
2) What should I do to make my entire DB to support unicode data i.e., to accept any language strings. Currently all strings are declared as VarChar2, should I change all VarChar2 to NVarChar2 (or) is there a way to retain the VarChar2 as is and make some database wide setting?
Please note that I do not have an option of retaining the column in English as per the Business Requirement.

1. Yes, you can.
SQL> create table ÜÝÞ( ßàá number(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert into ÜÝÞ values (10);
1 row created.1.1 and 1.2 and 2. You can choose UTF as your default character set. It allows the user of non-English characters in VARCHAR columns in your whole database. It is not per tablespace.
SQL> create table ÜÝÞ( ßàá varchar2(100));
Table created.
SQL> insert into ÜÝÞ values ('âãäçìé');
1 row created.

What is the order of Column Names in Sqlite query results?

I am writing an application using Adobe Air, Sqlite, and Javascript.
After writing the following select statement:
          SELECT field1, field 2, field 3, field 4 FROM TableA;
I would like to get the columnName/data combination from each row -- which I do successfully with a loop:
          var columnName="";
          for (columnName in selResults.data[i]) {
               output+=columnName + ":" + selResultsdata[i][columnName] + ";";
My issue is that the column names come out in a different order every time I run the query and never once have they come out in the desired order -- field 1, field 2, field 3, field 4. If I run the query in Firefox's Sqlite Manager, the columns come out in the "proper" order. When I run them in Adobe Air, the order will be the same if I run the query mulitple times without closing the app. If I make a change such as declaring the columnName variable with "" before the for column, or declare it as (var = columnName in selResults.data) , then the order changes. If I shut down my app and re-open after lunch and run query, it comes out in another order. At this time, I'm not interested in the order of the rows, just the order of the columns in each output row. I've even tried assiging an index to columnName which seems to just pick up a single letter of the columnName.
I'm in the process of changing my HTML presentation of the data to assign a precise columnName to an HTML table title, but I'm reluctant to let go of the above concept as I think my separation of HTML/presentation and Javascript would be better if I could use the solution described above.
So, does anybody know how to force the order of the columnNames in my output -- or what I'm doing to cause it to come out in a different order?
Jeane

Technically there isn't any "order" for the return columns. They aren't returned as an Array -- they're just properties on an Object instance (a "generic object"). The random order you're seeing is the behavior of the for..in loop iterating over the properties of the object. Unfortunately, with a for..in loop there is no guaranteed order for iterating over properties (and, as you've seen, it tends to vary wildly).
The only solution is to create your own list of the column names and sort it the way you want to, then use that to create your output. For example, use the for..in loop to loop over the properties, but rather than actually get the values, just dump the column names into an Array:
var columnName="";
var columns = [];
for (columnName in selResults.data[i]) {
    columns.push(columnName);
columns = columns.sort(); // just uses the default alphabetical sort -- you would customize this if desired
var j = 0;
for (j = 0; j < columns.length; j++) {
    columnName = columns[j];
    output+=columnName + ":" + selResultsdata[i][columnName] + ";";

Can we use Column Names in Parameter Cursor

Hi
can we use Column Names in Parameter Cursor??
DECLARE
CURSOR Emp_Cur (P_Deptno NUMBER)
IS
SELECT Empno, Ename
FROM Emp
WHERE Deptno = P_Deptno;
BEGIN
FOR Emp IN Emp_Cur(10)
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Number is: '||emp.Empno);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Name is: '||emp.Ename);
END LOOP;
FOR Emp IN Emp_Cur(20)
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Number is: '||emp.Empno);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Name is: '||emp.Ename);
END LOOP;
END;
In the above Program, I send Deptnumber. If i send Column names like Empno, Ename. What can i do??
If Declare Samething Through Parameter Cursor, it doesn't accept VARCHAR2(Size)

For parameters you don't use size, just the type (DATE, NUMBER, VARCHAR2, CLOB, ...)
DECLARE
CURSOR Emp_Cur (P_Ename VARCHAR2)
IS
    SELECT Empno, Ename
    FROM Emp
    WHERE Ename = P_Ename;
BEGIN
FOR Emp IN Emp_Cur('SCOTT')
LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Number is: '||emp.Empno);
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Name is: '||emp.Ename);
END LOOP;
END;

Can I use bind variable instaed of writing static COLUMN Name

Hi , I am having a table containing id and column names, the data is stored against that id in other tables. Now I wish to update data into another table so that it goes into apppropriate column without using decode function.
I am trying to do this:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'update TEST set :1 = :2
where PROJECT_ID= :3 and UNIQUE_ID= :4' using P_DEST_COLUMN, P_TEXT_VALUE, P_PROJ_ID, P_TASK_UID;
the values P_DEST_COLUMN, P_TEXT_VALUE, P_PROJ_ID, P_TASK_UID are populated using a cursor in PL/SQl
Is this statement valid? If not can you tell me how to do it as I am getting some error I am unable to comprehend.
thanks
Rishabh

Column names cannot be substituted at run-time as bind variables. If you need to specify the column name at run-time, you'd need to construct a new string and execute that string dynamically, i.e.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'UPDATE test SET ' || p_dest_column || ' = :1 ' || ...From a data model standpoint, storing column names as data elements in another table is generally a rather poor idea. It's likely to make ad-hoc reporting nearly impossible and to cause a lot more parsing than would otherwise be required.

Need help on getting the column names of Tabletype

I have a table Mapping with the following values: This Mapping table contains the table names (in Tabname) and the column names(colname) of various tables and values(ValuesTobeFilled) for the columns.
I have to insert into the tables present in the Tabname field with the values present in the ValuesTobeFilled in the columns present in the Colname field.
Note: The Mapping table need not contain all the columns of the base table. The columns that are not present can be filled with null. And this mapping table is not fixed i.e. rows can be inserted/deleted frequently.
Sample values in mapping table:
Tabname                        Colname        ValuesTobeFilled
sample_items     Eno     Corresponding Expression to get the values from XML input
sample_items     Ename     Corresponding Expression to get the values from XML input
XXX     YYY     Corresponding Expression to get the values from XML input
Before filling in the actual tables, I have to store the entire data temporarily and I have used a tabletype declared as follows:
TYPE T_sample_items IS TABLE OF sample_items%ROWTYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
l_sample_items T_sample_items;
Where the table sample_items have the following columns:
•     Eno
•     Ename
•     Eaddress
•     Eemail
So, the tabletype should be filled as:
Eno     Ename     Eaddress     EEmail
1     XXX     -     -
I have declared a cursor to select the values from mapping table and I need to fill in the ValuesTobeFilled values to the corresponding table.
CURSOR c_xpath (c_tname mapping.TABNAME%type)
IS
select * from mapping where tabname = c_tname;
CURSOR c_tables
IS
SELECT DISTINCT TABNAME FROM mapping;
FOR crsr IN c_tables
LOOP
p_tname := CRSR.TABNAME;
FOR csr IN c_xpath(p_tname)
LOOP
IF l_xml_doc.EXISTSNODE(CSR.XPATH_EXP) = 1
THEN
l_node_value := l_xml_doc.extract(CSR.XPATH_EXP).getStringVal(); -- This is the value to be stored in the corresponding column
ELSE
     l_node_value := NULL;
END IF;
IF CSR.COLUMN_NAME = ‘eno’
THEN
     l_sample_items(1).eno := l_node_value;
ELSIF CSR.COLUMN_NAME = ‘ename’
THEN
     l_sample_items(1).name := l_node_value;
END IF;
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
And I need to eliminate hard coding while comparing the column names (in the following piece of code) as the Mapping table values are subject to insertion/deletion:
IF CSR.COLUMN_NAME = ‘eno’
THEN
     l_sample_items(1).eno := l_node_value;
ELSIF CSR.COLUMN_NAME = ‘ename’
THEN
     l_sample_items(1).ename := l_node_value;
END IF;
I need to insert the values directly into the tabletype without this hardcoding. Please suggest me ways to compare the mapping table values with the field (column) names of the tabletype. If it is not possible using tabletype, please suggest any other ways of fixing the problem.
Many thanks,
Gopi

I take it this isn't going to be a serious production system at the end of the day?
Storing metadata in tables for extraction and insertion of data is just wrong in so many ways. It smells heavily of Entity Attribute Value modelling, which is the most wrong way to use a relational database and is known to have major performance implications and be liable to bugs and issues. The idea that EAV modelling allows for 'generic' databases where new data items can be added flexibly later on without having to change code is usually justified with an excuse of "it means we don't have to update all our tables when we want a new column" which is easily countered with "if you're adding a single column a good relational design wouldn't require you to add it to more than one table anyway in most cases".
Just what exactly are you trying to do and why? There has to be a better way.

Excel 2013 connect to a cube, and Power View concatenate the column name by default

Hi Guys,
Currently, we met a problem with excel services to connect to a cube, when we develope a Excel 2013 Powerview report, the data model column name is concatenate into terrible name by default. e.g. Dim TimeDate Date, Dim TimeTime HierachyYear -Month.
But when start up the data model with Powerpivot, everything gone well. We knew that it can be manual update the name as workaround, but we need to do it every time we create a new powerview with the data model.
Is that any other solution we can do with?
Please help.

Why do I get a class conflict between the Prepare SQL.vi and the Get Column Name.vi with the SQL Toolkit compatibility vis from the Database Connectivity Toolkit?

I have done extensive programming with the SQL Toolkit with LabVIEW versions through 6.1. My customer now wants to upgrade to Windows 7, so I am trying to upgrade to LabVIEW 2009 (my latest purchased version) using the Database Connectivity Toolkit, and the SQL Toolkit Compatibility vis. Everything seemed to be going okay with the higher level SQL operations, but I ran into trouble with the Get Column Name.vi.
The pictures below show the problem. The original SQL Toolkit connected the Prepare SQL.vi with the Get Column Name.vi with a cluster of two references, one for connection, and one for sql. The new compatibility vis have a class conflict in the wire because the Prepare SQL.vi contains a cluster with connection, and command references, but the Get Column Name.vi expects a cluster with connection and recordset references.
How do I resolve this conflict?
Thank You.
Dan

I've never worked with the old version of the toolkit, so I don't know how it did things, but looking inside the SQL prep VI, it only generates a command, and the the column name VI wants a recordset. I'm not super familiar with all the internals of ADO, but my understanding is that is standard - you only have the columns after you execute the command and get the recordset back. What you can apparently do here is insert the Execute Prepared SQL VI in the middle and that will return what you need.
I'm not sure why it worked before. Maybe the execute was hidden inside the prep VI or maybe you can get the column names out of the command object before execution. In general, I would recommend considering switching to the newer VIs.

Unable to reorder/change column names on interactive single row view

I have created an interactive report and grouped my columns to display nicely in a single row view report. However, once I initially add the columns to a group, I am unable to reorder them. I can move them up and down the list, but the changes don't save. Also, I have gone through column by column and unchecked the box that says Use Same Text for Single Row View and expanded the column name. However, the single row view still displays what is in the master report. I've tried closing out my browser completely and reopening, but I am still not seeing my changes. Any suggestions?

I also just stumbled about the "Use Same Text for Single Row View" option actually doing nothing - in Single Row View I still get the label text from "Column Heading", no matter what I enter in "Single Row View Label".
I had to adjust a column width using a span tag in the heading (as this seems to be the only way to do that - any other suggestions I found adding style information to the region header had no effect), and now that tag is displayed in the Single Row View label.
I can live with that for now, but it's not really nice.
Is this a known bug? Didn't find anything else in the forum regarding this problem so far.

Searching for missing column names in a single database.

I have a database with about 100 tables, database gets generated using entity framework. The application has been enhanced so users deployed with older version of the application need to upgrade to newer version. The database generated is both versions
is same name.
Now, the older version is missing some tables and column names that are in new database.
Is there a script that can search for missing fields in a single database as described in this situation?
Below is my script. Basically, nameofdatabase would the database generated and that already existing. If you install the application and database already exits no new database will be created.
SELECT * FROM (Select TABLE_CATALOG, Table_name,COLUMN_NAME FROM nameofdatabase.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS) a FULL OUTER JOIN (SELECT TABLE_CATALOG, Table_name,COLUMN_NAME FROM nameofdatabase.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS) b ON b.COLUMN_NAME=a.COLUMN_NAME and
a.TABLE_NAME=b.TABLE_NAME WHERE b.COLUMN_NAME is null or a.COLUMN_NAME is null ;

Renaming Column Names in a single shot in Requests

Hi All,
We are having one issue while trying to rename the column in the requests.
Requirement:
We are having two presentation table "Fact Summary" and "Countries Dimension". Both of these tables contain one column "Country Description".
Presently in all the reports we have developed till now, we used "Fact Summary"."Country Description".
Now the users want us to replace "Fact Summary"."Country Description" with "Countries Dimension"."Country Description" and delete the "Country Description" from "Fact Summary" table.
Approach we followed:
Opened the Catalog Manager in Offline mode and used the XML Search and Replace option.
With this option we are able to replace column names that are selected in a request but not those just used as filters(is prompted).
Example:
Suppose we have one request with "States Dimension"."State" seleted and "Fact Summary"."Country Description" as filter, we are able to not able to replace "Fact Summary"."Country Description" with "Countries Dimension"."Country Description"
Can anyone please help me...Is there any alternative solution for this?
Thanks in Advance.....

Nope, I don't have a solution for this. You must never model descriptive columns in a fact table. Even when you have descriptive columns or textual content in one of your fact table columns, you should model them as part of a logical dimension table. Let this be a good lesson.

Stijn

Hi,
What version of oracle are you using? If it is 9i,
then you can the command
alter table <table_name> rename column <column_name> to <new_column>;
if it is 8i or earlier, you can create a view with the required names.

Always post the oracle version and the platform you are using to get better response.

How to use the column names generated from Dynamic SQL

Hi,
I have a problem with Dynamic SQL.
I have written an SQL which will dynamically generate the Select statement with from and where clause in it.
But that select statement when executed will get me hundreds of rows and i want to insert each row separately into one more table.
For that i have used a ref cursor to open and insert the table.
In the select list the column names will also be as follows: COLUMN1, COLUMN2, COLUMN3,....COLUMNn
Please find below the sample code:
TYPE ref_csr IS REF CURSOR;
insert_csr ref_csr;
v_select VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_table VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_where VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_ins_tab VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_insert VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_ins_query VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
OPEN insert_csr FOR CASE
WHEN v_where IS NOT NULL
THEN 'SELECT '
|| v_select
|| ' FROM '
|| v_table
|| v_where
|| ';'
ELSE 'SELECT ' || v_select || ' FROM ' || v_table || ';'
END;
LOOP
v_ins_query :=
'INSERT INTO '
|| v_ins_tab
|| '('
|| v_insert
|| ') VALUES ('
|| How to fetch the column names here
|| ');';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_ins_query;
END LOOP;
Please help me out with the above problem.

Calculation Field to be mapped to different data object's column name in Oracle BAM 12c

Hi,
I am having a challenge to enable drill down to 2nd level report by passing calculation field as parameter.
As an alternative, I am thinking to point calculation field to another data object’s column name and generate report so that I would be able to pass that as parameter to drilling report view.
Is there any way to map calculation field to different Data object’s column name? Thanks in advance.

1. Yes, you can.
SQL> create table ÜÝÞ( ßàá number(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert into ÜÝÞ values (10);
1 row created.1.1 and 1.2 and 2. You can choose UTF as your default character set. It allows the user of non-English characters in VARCHAR columns in your whole database. It is not per tablespace.
