Create another table based on data from table above

Hi all am using EJB 3.0 as technology.
I have a table where user insert records.
The field are as below
TableId, projectId, TaskId, TOdate, duration, comments.
I need to traverse this table and create another table that will display duration perday.
for example
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
6hr 8hr 7hr 8hr 9hr
Thank you for your help regards
Lutchumaya

How-to information added to the example page.
I experimented (not altogether to my satisfaction) with APEX 4.0 sub-regions which won't be usable anywhere else at present, so haven't said anything about region layout. In earlier versions you could use 2 or 3 regions with suitable choices of region templates according to your preference.

How to display data from a recordset based on data from another recordset

How to display data from a recordset based on data from
another recordset.
What I would like to do is as follows:
I have a fantasy hockey league website. For each team I have
a team page (clubhouse) which is generated using PHP/MySQL. The one
area I would like to clean up is the displaying of the divisional
standings on the right side. As of right now, I use a URL variable
(division = id2) to grab the needed data, which works ok. What I
want to do is clean up the url abit.
So far the url is
clubhouse.php?team=Wings&id=DET&id2=Pacific, in the end all
I want is clubhouse.php?team=Wings.
I have a separate table, that has the teams entire
information (full team name, short team, abbreviation, conference,
division, etc. so I was thinking if I could somehow do this:
Recordset Team Info is filtered using URL variable team
(short team). Based on what team equals, it would then insert this
variable into the Divisional Standings recordset.
So example: If I type in clubhouse.php?team=Wings, the Team
Info recordset would bring up the Pacific division. Then 'Pacific'
would be inserted into the Divisional Standings recordset to
display the Pacific Division Standings.
Basically I want this
SELECT *
FROM standings
WHERE division = <teaminfo.division>
ORDER BY pts DESC
Could someone help me, thank you.

Assuming two tables- teamtable and standings:
teamtable - which has entire info about the team and has a
field called
"div" which has the division name say "pacific" and you want
to use this
name to get corresponding details from the other table.
standings - which has a field called "division" which you
want to use to
give the standings
SELECT * FROM standings AS st, teamtable AS t
WHERE st.division = t.div
ORDER BY pts DESC
Instead of * you could be specific on what fields you want to
select ..
something like
SELECT st.id AS id, st.position AS position, st.teamname AS
team
You cannot lose until you give up !!!

How to create another table with an exisiting table

Hi,
I want to create another table on the top of an existing table, my existing table has few constraints and checks, i want to create another table which should copy all checks and constraints from existing table.
for example;

create table temp


(idx number primary key,


publish varchar2(250) not null,


address varchar2(250) not null,


rent number check (rent >=0))
--Required output


create table temp1


as select * from temp


where 1=2
the structure of the table received as an output has the following structure:


CREATE TABLE TEMP1




IDX NUMBER,


PUBLISH VARCHAR2(250 BYTE) NOT NULL,


ADDRESS VARCHAR2(250 BYTE) NOT NULL,


RENT NUMBER




where i could not find primary key and check constraint but i can see not null check. Is there anyway that i could get the all checks when i create another table on the top of an existing table.

Best Regards,

A CTAS (CREATE TABLE AS SELECT ...) probably isn't what you're looking for since that doesn't handle constraints.
Depending on the Oracle version, you can probably use the DBMS_METADATA package to get the DDL for the table and then modify the DDL to create the copy, i.e.
1* select dbms_metadata.get_ddl( 'TABLE', 'TEMP' ) from dual
SQL> /
DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLE','TEMP')
CREATE TABLE "SCOTT"."TEMP"
 ( "IDX" NUMBER,
 "PUBLISH" VARCHAR2(250) NOT NULL ENABLE,
 "ADDRESS" VARCHAR2(250) NOT NULL ENABLE,
 "RENT" NUMBER,
 CHECK (rent >=0) ENABLE,
 PRIMARY KEY ("IDX")
USING INDEX PCTFREE 10 INITRANS 2 MAXTRANS 255
STORAGE(INITIAL 65536 NEXT 1048576 MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645
PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT)

Create header file based on data in Data file

Hi,
For Data File: created an interface to extract data from table to data file.
1) Now i want to create a header file which contains info like :
Created On: #Rows Fetched:
2) I also want to create a footer, which contains info like:
SUM(AMOUNT) (amount is one of the columns of data file)
How do i implement this using an interface?
Thanks.

Step 1. Create a Variable Header - Call the count using some thing like this SELECT COUNT(*)||CHR(10) FROM TABLE
Step 2. Call it in OdiOutFile
Step 3 . Call the Interface to load from table to File using [ IKM SQL to File Append with create Header option - no ]
Step 4. Create another Variable Footer - Call the sum in the Refreshing Tab
Step 5. Call it in OdiOutfile with Append option Checked
Note - Make sure you use the same File Name for all the three places.
There are other ways too but this is simple way. Hope this helps.

How do you set up a default Date To based on Date From for report parameter

I'm working on a report. I have been asked to set up a default Date To based on Date From for the report parameters. I mean when running a report, if an end user selects a value for parameter Date From, system will automatically populate the Date To parameter based on the Date From + 6 days.
I guess there's gotta be something to do with Value Set. Do any of you guys know how to go about this?
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

How to create a view consisting of data from tables in2 different databases

Using Oracle 10.2g
I have 2 databases Gus and haggis on Comqdhb schema.
glink indicates a databse link between Haggis and Gus
In Gus there are tables student,subject,grade,school containing columns like upn...
STUDENT
upn
academicYear
SUBJECT
subject
GRADE
examlevel
grade
SCHOOL
sn
In HAGGIS there are tables student,grade,teacher containing columns upn...desc below.
STUDENT
upn
GRADE
grade
upn
academicyear
level
Create view in your HAGGIS database which will join all of the exam grades together. You should have one view which will produce the following relation :
examGrade(upn, subject, examlevel, sn, grade,academicYear)
so I need to create a view which gets the data from both the tables in both the databases.
create view as examGrade(upn, subject, examlevel, sn, grade,academicYear) as select s.upn
But i am not getting how to select a column from 2 tables in different databases
I mean if i said
select upn from comqdhb.student@glink,comqdhb.student;
select upn from comqdhb.student@glink,comqdhb.student
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined
help me out,Thank you.

Thank you for the reply will follow up the code format
Create views in your HAGGIS schema database which will join all of the exam grades together. You should have one view which will produce the following relation :

If i query
select count(upn)
from comqdhb.student@glink I get 9000
but after the union
create view examGrade(upn, subject, examlevel, sn, grade,academicYear)

Another problem i am having which i am trying to solve and written up my ideas but haven't been getting the expected results.Hope you can help.Thank you.
Information:
=======
All children take exams at the age of 16 called a General Certificate of SecondaryEducation (GCSE).
They have to study and take exams in Mathematics, English and Science, and can take other subjects such as History, French, Art etc. Most students will study between 5 and 10 different subjects before taking their GCSEs.
For each exam, a student is awarded a grade from A*, A, B,C,D,E,F,G,U,X An A* grade is the best grade achievable and an X is the worst grade.
In order to analyze how students have performed, each grade is mapped to a numeric value as follows:
Grade Numerical score
A* 8
A 7
B 6
C 5
D 4
E 3
F 2
G 1
U 0
X 0
Now why i need this avgGCSE is because i have to create a view containing avgGCSE of the students it is used in the next question where a condition is avgGCSE is between 6.5 and 7
In order to calculate the avgGCSE the idea is to calculate the grades of the students and map the grades to their corresponding scores/values
add them all up and div by the total no of grades to get the avg.
desc comqdhb.STUDENT@glink;

I have a opinion that xgcse in STUDENT table refers to the avgGCSE which i want to calculate as when i asked my professor as to what xgcse he said that he forgot to take it out of the table and it is not necessary while creating avggcse.
select *
from comqdhb.student@glink
where xgcse<6.5; Displaying a result
returns:

where xgcse between 6.5 and 7 and upn = 1386; Displaying a result
returns:

===========================================================================
1386 STEPHANIE AANNESSON 15-JAN-79 f none 6.88873 2 2 so if xgcse is the avgGCSE then upn 1011 has avggcse<6.5 and 1386 has avggcse >6.5
my idea was backward strategy like so now if we find out upn 1368 has suppose xgcse(avggcse)>6.5 how to extract the avggcse for the particular upn We need to map grades from GRADEVALUES to grade in STUDENTINGROUP and map upn from studentingroup to upn in student to output the values for the corresponding grades from GRADEVALUES
select grade
from comqdhb.studentingroup@glink
where upn = 1011;
Result:

=====

8 rows selected. Mapping each grade to the corresponding value and calculating we get
32/8=4 total(values to corresponding grades)/no of grades.
But the xgcse for upn 1011 is 3.935 and i am getting 4!! maybe xgcse isn't avggrade but ? is the procedure by me correct for calculating avggcse
select grade
from comqdhb.studentingroup@glink
where upn = 1386;
Result:

Create a trigger to copy data from table A to table B

Hi,
I been trying with no success to create a trigger on table a , so when the user update or delete or insert data on that table, I would like to copy all data from table a to table b BEFORE, the statement execute, I am using Oracle database 10g XE. It's URGENT and I would appreciate any quick response.
Thank you in advance.

> All what I needed to do is to copy / beckup the tableA before any changes done to the table
Why? You are not giving us a problem to look at, analyse, and assist with - you are giving us a solution. That solution says "backup table before changes are made".
This solution sounds very strange in the context of a RDBMS. Even stranger when dealing with relational design as one would use date and time to keep track of how data is changing.
This, and your implementation of the solution (using triggers and DDL inside it!), makes me question whether this solution is indeed at all a solution. I see flaws and problems all the way.
What happens if two users inserts at the same time into table A? Two truncates will be fired on table B. Then the entire contents of A (and not the changes) inserted into table B? Ridiculous...
Thus from my point of view, looking at what you have presented to the forum in this thread, you do not seem to have any grasp on how to correctly use a RDBMS, never mind use Oracle.
Ignorance is not a problem. It is fairly easily curable. Which is why I referred you to the manuals.
Alternatively, instead of asking the forum how to make a flawed solution works, how about instead telling us the actual problem you are trying to solve?

How to efficiently create a single waveform based on data from two other waveforms?

I have a 1-D array of waveform with size = 4 that contain "raw" potentiometer voltage data. I need to manipulate waveform data from index 0 & 1 using the formula shown below to derive a single waveform of angle data. I need to do the same for index 2 & 3 as this is a redundant circuit. I was hoping that the formula node can work on entire arrays and although it can take an array as input, it requires me to index the array in the formula so it becomes a scalar value.
Since the formula is relatively complex, I'd like to keep it in text form but have it automatically work on each point of the two input arrays. This math is done inline with pulling data out of a DAQ and so I need it to be as efficient as possible so that I don't spend too much time on it and potentially overflow the DAQ buffer.
The naive solution would be to wrap the formula nodes with for loops, but I don't know if this is this is an efficient way to do this. I would appreciate any suggestions on how best to tackle this.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here's how I would do it with no formula nodes or loops requied:
If you want to use the formula node, then you could run a loop inside each formula node while you index through the arrays. The performance difference between formula nodes and the graphical approach should be insignificant. Note that my approach assumes that the array sizes are the same. You could also create a sub VI to contain the math so you don't have to maintain two copies of the same piece of code.

Create a workflow that pulls data from a list based on a person in the list and emails that person

I am trying to create a workflow in SharePoint 2010 using SharePoint Designer.
I have a list [ExceptionList] of users each associated with a sponsor. A sponsor can have multiple users aligned to them. I need to create a workflow which emails the sponsor with their associated users.
Example:
John, Bill, and Kelly are listed with Bob as their sponsor. I'd like an email sent that will pull the names of John, Bill, and Kelly into the email so that Bob can validate that he is still their sponsor.
I know how to create the basic workflow email, but am not sure how to pull in the related names into the body of the email. I assume I will need to build a string.
Anyone know how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use workflow to send an email to the sponsor with the users’ names who are belonging to the sponsor.
I recommend to create another list to store the users’ names who are belonging to the sponsor and then email the sponsor with the values in the list.
In my test, I created another list called test list and created two columns: user(store users’ names) and Sponsor(store sponsor’s name). Fill the list with all the sponsors and leave user field as blank.
After that, create another workflow associated with the ExceptionList to get all the users’ names who are belonging to a sponsor to fill in the user field in the test list and set the workflow to start when an item is created.
And then you can send email with the value in the user field in test list to the sponsor.
Best regards.
Thanks

How can I create a diagram where equal data from different cells will be added to one sector?

Hi,
I'm a new Mac user, so I have a lot of problems and questions every day. Moving to Mac from PC is not an easy thing)
Here is my problem:
I need to create a few diagrams for my science work, but can't correct one mistake. Every time one data from one cell from the table takes its own place in the diagram. But I need to ceparate equal data to show it is one section.
An example:
Sex
Age
Female
18
Female
18
Female
18
Female
25
Female
30
We need to create a diagram to show that we have
60% - 18 years
20% - 25 years
20% - 30 years
But Numbers doesn't show it that way. Here how it does:
So please help me. How can I do that?

Hi ProCauda,
Some example data of people and their age:
The COUNTIF function will give the number of people of each age.
In another table, B2 contains this formula (and Fill Down to the bottom of B)
=COUNTIF(Table 1::B,"="&A2)
In this example, 3 people are 18 years old, 0 people are 19 years old, and so on. Use this table to calculate each age as the % of the total, then use that as the data for your diagram (graph, chart).
Regards,
Ian.

Customized report based on data from 2 different infoproviders.

Hi Team,
The scenario is as follows:
We have an Datasource based on a ECC Table which contains data based on FISCAL YEAR and no period field such as X03, X06 & X09. these values are populated in INFOCUBE A. Also note that the ECC table itself does not contain any field which refers to Period.
In my another INFOCUBE B, I have the value for the Period (ZZPERIOD) field on a Quaterly basis.
Now the report requirement is:
For the input value of ZZPERIOD = 201103, display value X03.
similarly for X06 and X09.
PLEASE ADVICE.
Thanks & Regards
Sneha

I'm not sure you've understood my reply. Do you understand the notion of granularity? If not please read about this and understand it. Then you will have the answer you need.
I'm assuming you have KFs in both cubes right? Now if Cube A is aggregated by Year - you cannot split these figures by anything other than Year.
Just because you want to add other key figures from another cube (B) whose values sit at Cal Quarter does not mean that any coded rules you apply will result in correct figures when you drill down to Quarter. How do you propose to fix that? Answer: you can't, it's impossible without getting yourself in a lot of trouble with the business/your client.
Your best bet is to add a characteristic into Cube A called 'Source of Data' and fill that in your transformations. Then you can load both data from A and B into the same cube A. When reporting, just use a restricted KF to pull out the values you want.
If you drill down by Quarter of course Cube A KFs will be "not assigned" for the simple reasons I explained above.

Create Materialized View based on Results from LDAP Query

Hi -- I'm trying to create a materialized view based on results from an LDAP query. Unfortunately, it looks like a materialized view can't be created based on a stored procedure, which is where the LDAP results are obtained (using nested loops).
Does anyone have any idea how to do this without first kicking off a stored procedure that populates a temp table which would be used to create the materialized view? I'm trying to minimize the steps that the DBA's will need to go through when refreshing this new view.
Thanks,
~Christine

Can you give us more details about the stored procedure you're calling. It will help to know what parameters are involved and what data types they are.
Off the top of my head though it looks like, at the very least, you would need a stored function that calls the stored procedure. I don't think there is any way to call stored procedures from CREATE ... commands. If you're going to create a stored function anyway ... well, you might as well just create a procedure that inserts values into a regular table instead of fussing with functions and materialized views. You'll probably want to schedule your new procedure to run periodically since it sounds like you'll need the values refreshed from time to time.

Creating iCal entries based on date/time appearing in text on any app

One thing I like about iCal's integration with Apple Mail is that the mail client is able to sense dates and times in email messages and then allow you to create iCal entries. But it seems that this date and time sensing is only limited to Apple Mail when technically users could potentially want to create iCal entries when a date and time appears on any app, such as on a web page in a web browser, in a PDF, or a word processing document. It seems logical then for iCal to be integrated with OS X's text services, so that at least if I highlighted a date and time, I could right click on it and bring up an option to create an iCal entry on based on that date and time.
Does anyone know if this feature is natively supported (for which I have yet to enable), or is there a third party app out there that will allow me to do this?

Just a quick update. I tried the first two -- text2cal and Calendar Creator -- and they don't seem to work on OS X 10.6.6.
However, on another note, I found some discussion regarding Snow Leopard's enhanced data detectors being natively able to do what I've been looking for. But I just can't seem to get it to work on my computer:
"Enhanced Data Detectors now link dates, times and other items found in text to actionable items in other applications, like iCal. For example, a drop-down menu that automatically appears when you select the time or date parts in a text enables you to create a new iCal event from a selected date or show the date in iCal."
