Data Entry - Crosstab Query

Is it possible to do perform data entry in a crosstab query view?

If you want to insert, update or delete in a view you need to write ON-INSERT, ON-UPDATE and/or ON-DELETE trigger and perform your DML inside these triggers ...
Hope it helps

Data entry form problem - form in query-only mode

Hi there,
I am trying to create an data entry form to insert recordacross 2 out of 3 tables. The last of the four tables already have details and does not need to have record inserted into.
This is the scenario, my four tables are Factory, Employee, Works_in. Works_in resolves a many to many relationship between Factory and Employee
Now for a person to be employed in a factory, he must be assigned to a factory.
I have a list of factories already in the database. After choosing a factory from the database, I want to insert records to do with his Fname, Lname, Hiredate bla, bla, bla to the Employee table.
I have a single form with Factory as the master, and 2 tabs each for Employee and Works_in.
After linking all my tables with the ability to choose a factory first on the master form from a combo box and after inserting records into the other forms, it says form running in query-only mode.
What do you think?
Many thanks in advance.

I think that's too much of the wrong information.
It sounds like you have multiple forms. Are they Modal or Non-Modal?
What code do you use to call the form that's not working?
Does it work initially and then stop working?

Crosstab Query for Remaining Revenue (Count, If, Date Between )

Hi all, hope you had a great new year.
I am wanting to create a crosstab query for my Projects which shows ProjectID in the row headers and Time Periods split into months quarter or year as the Column Headers using the [DateAgreed] from the Session table.
I have created crosstabs which show revenue from sessions and count of sessions with different time periods but i am trying to make it so that it counts only completed sessions from before the column date, so that i can then multiply by the [SessionCost].
Any ideas guys?
Here's what i have been working with;
TRANSFORM Sum(([tblSession]![SessionCompleted]*[tblProject]![SessionCost])) AS Revenue
SELECT tblProject.ProjectID, tblCompany.CompanyName
FROM (tblSession INNER JOIN tblCompany ON tblSession.CompanyID = tblCompany.CompanyID) INNER JOIN ((tblProject INNER JOIN tblProjectMetrics ON tblProject.ProjectID = tblProjectMetrics.ProjectID) INNER JOIN qryProjectStatus ON tblProject.ProjectID = qryProjectStatus.ProjectID)
ON (tblProject.ProjectID = tblSession.ProjectID) AND (tblCompany.CompanyID = tblProject.CompanyID)
GROUP BY tblProject.ProjectID, tblCompany.CompanyName, tblProject.Total
PIVOT Format([DateAgreed],"yyyy-mm");
Thanks :)

Hi Gord0oo,
You could concatenates the data as a result and show in a cell.
TRANSFORM Sum([tblProject]![SessionCost])) & ";" & Sum([tblSession]![SessionCompleted]) AS Revenue

Region sql query(updateable report) data entry in non db columns

In a tabular report type updateable report
What is the best way to provide data entry into a non db column a) (to accept parameters for some on demand pl/sql processes)?
Only when setting a) as a standard report column the db insert/update transaction can be processed
When changing a) to text field the db insert/update transaction fails with en error (screen/db are not in sync which is not actually the case)
a) should not be part of the db insert/update transactions but still allow data entry
How can this be achieved?
Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,
I think the easiest solution is to use an updateable view instead of the direct table access.
Here is an example:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW V_EMPLOYEES
AS
SELECT EMPLOYEE_ID
     , FIRST_NAME
     , LAST_NAME
     , FIRST_NAME||' '||LAST_NAME AS FULL_NAME
FROM EMPLOYEES
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TRG_V_EMPLOYEES
    INSTEAD OF INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE
    ON V_EMPLOYEES
    REFERENCING NEW AS new OLD AS old
    FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
    IF UPDATING
    THEN
        UPDATE EMPLOYEES
           SET FIRST_NAME = :new.FIRST_NAME
             , LAST_NAME = :new.LAST_NAME
         WHERE EMPLOYEE_ID = :old.EMPLOYEE_ID
    -- insert and delete is not allowed
    ELSIF INSERTING
    THEN
        NULL; -- there would be a insert code
    ELSIF DELETING
    THEN
        NULL; -- there would be the delete code
    END IF;
END;
/FIRST_NAME||' '||LAST_NAME AS FULL_NAME in the example view simulates your function call.
There might be a possibility to do it in APEX as well, but that was the first solution which came into my mind.

Use for a Crosstab Query?

I have a table with the following metric data in it.
one entry for a metric, whether its integrity was checked and the date checked.
I need a report that puts all monthly activity on a single line.
Examples:
Here's what the table looks like
proj_name metric integrity_checked Date
abc broke Y 01-Apr-08
abc fixed Y 01-Apr-08
abc trashed Y 01-Apr-08
abc broke Y 01-Mar-08
abc fixed Y 01-Mar-08
abc trashed Y 01-Mar-08
xyz broke Y 01-Apr-08
yxz fixed Y 01-Apr-08
yxz trashed Y 01-Apr-08
yxz broke Y 01-Mar-08
yxz fixed Y 01-Mar-08
yxz trashed Y 01-Mar-08
Report needs to look like this.
Prog Metric Apr-08 Mar-08
abc broke Y Y
abc fixed Y Y
abc trashed Y Y
xyx broke Y Y
xyz fixed Y Y
xyz trashed Y Y
Does this call for a crosstab-type query and if so
how would I code it?
I've done one crosstab query before but can't get this one to come out right.
Thanks

How to select a single row in a report for data entry?

Hello All, and Greetings.
I am a newcomer, with no experience in Apex, and in need of help.
I have to generate a report with some read-only columns and two write columns. These will be the result of a SQL query.
For the sake of robustness in data entry, a row has to be selected prior to data update. The document specifies that a radiobutton for each row be present, and the corresponding row selected accordingly by clicking its radiobutton. There could be any number of rows returned in the report, which means that the number of radiobuttons will vary dynamically according to the number of returned rows.
1. So my question is, how do I construct the page to do this? Please remember I am a newbie, so detail will be appreciated.
2. Another question is, how do I change the fonts and colours of the names displayed along with the listboxes?
Thank you very much for your attention. Any help will be warmly received.
With regards,
Arindam.

Open data slice for data entry and close afterwards

Dear all,
I have created one data slice for a characteristic combination country xy in order to prevent the data entry within the data entry query for the user. But for some reason I have to run a planning function in order to summarize some values and write a total value in the characteristic e.g. country xy.
The planning function brings out an error message because this can not be executed due to the fact that this combination is protected.
Is there a way to open the data slice before the planning function is writing the data in the cube? I have tried to to this in the Data slice exit, but I do not have an idea how to open the DS, save the data and close the DS again.
We are running NW BI 7.0. Any ideas would be great.
Best regards,
Stefan from Munich/Germany

I did something like this by creating an FM and calling that FM from a FOX function. I think you will have to use three commands to execute three functions one after the other (and not combine them in one planning sequence) - first one will switch off the data slice, next will be your planning function containing the logic, and the last will switch it back on.
The FM would be something like below:
FUNCTION Z_SWITCH_DSLICE.
*"*"Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(I_INFOPROV) TYPE RSINFOPROV
*"     REFERENCE(I_DSNR) TYPE RSPLS_DSNR
*"     REFERENCE(I_STATUS) TYPE I
*** This function imports the name of a real-time Infoprovider and a Data Slice number
***        and a parameter I_STATUS. If I_STATUS is 1, data slice is activated
***        If I_STATUS is -1, data slice is de-activated
data wa_ds type rspls_ds.
select single * from rspls_ds
        into wa_ds
        where infoprov = I_INFOPROV
          AND objvers = 'A'
          AND dsnr = I_DSNR.
if I_status = 1.
   wa_ds-used = 'X'.
elseif I_status = -1.
   wa_ds-used = ''.
endif.
update rspls_ds from wa_ds.
ENDFUNCTION.
The Fox code will be like below -
CALL FUNCTION Z_SWITCH_DSLICE
    EXPORTING
       I_INFOPROV = <infoprov name>
       I_DSNR = <Data Slice Number>
       I_STATUS = <0 or 1>.

How to populate new record on data entry form based on search results?

Hello,
I'm new to jdeveloper im using version 11.1.2.1.0.
Usually Im using forms 10g.
I created search panel with table and its working but problem is how to transfer/populate all the field value according to that search result to New data Entry Form
by clicking the table record or a button.
Given :
TABLES,EO
1. PatientMasterIndex
2. PatientTransactionMaster <<---- master
3. PatientTransactionDetail <<-- detail relation
Here the scenario,
After Search of any patient, when i clicked one or more patient (which Jdeveloper allow multi select on jtable) on the table record it should automatically transfer or copied to the text field, i want to show on the form of PatientTransactionMaster like PatientNumber,PatientInsuranceNumber etc. to be save on db as new record, also non database field for view only like patient Name,address,age.
IN forms i can do that by :PatientTransactionMaster.PatientNumber := :blocksearch.PatientSearchNumber ,etc.....
or an item trigger to populate the said PatientTransactionMaster block. ( select .... into :PatientTransactionMaster.PatientNumber,etc....)
Any suggestion,links,sample is highly appreciated.
Sorry for my english.
Thank you very much

Hi,
Do you want to create a detail record that will include some values from your master record??
Or do you want to create a record with values from your Search criteria, only in the case you do not have any results?
if it is the second case.
When do you want to do that? After a press of button? or immediately?
In general you have to handle the values from search criteria.
Additionally, if you use ViewCriteria, you have to have bind variables for your search criteria that you will want to use.
So in general, you have to know the values by using bind variables, understand that the query has no results (This can be done in many ways, depending on your implementation. if you are using a button, you could make a disable condition with iterator.estimatedRowCount property.)
Perform the insert operation with the values from the bind variables.
Regards,
Dimitris.

Crosstab Query in Oracle

Dear members:
I have been trying to generate a crosstab query in Oracle using SQL.
This is the situation:
I have two tables in Oracle. One contains characteristics of institutions which people visit, and includes, amongst other fields, the ID of the institution (number) and an identificator for the district where the institution is implanted (number; ranging 1 - 18).
The second table also contains a field with the ID of the institution, and more: the date when the visit occured (date), and a sequential (unique) number for each visit.
What I need to obtain is a final table containing the following fields:
Date of the visit, total number of visitors per date of visit, and a field for each district containing the total number of visitors to instituitions of the district per each date of visit.
Can anyone give me a hint on this?
Also; is there a user-frindly interface minimizing the use of SQL that I can download from Oracle for generating this?
Thank You
André

Crosstab is a reporting function not a SQL one. SQL statements must have a fixed number of columns regardless of the data.
The only way to do it using SQL is to use PL/SQL to generate a dynamic query as shown on Ask Tom here
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:15151874723724
Otherwise there are reporting tools such as Oracle Reports that can do it as well.

Check duplicate data entry in multi record block,which is a mandatory field

Dear all,
I have a situation where i have to check duplicate data entry(on a particular field,which is a mandatory field,i.e. it cannot be skipped by user without entering value) while data key-in in a Multi Record block.
As for reference I have used a logic,such as
1>In a When-Validate-Record trigger of that block I am assigning the value of that current item in Table type variable(collection type)
as this trigger fire every time as soon as i leave that record,so its assigning the value of that current time.And this process continues
then
2>In a When-Validate-Item trigger of that corresponding item(i.e. the trigger is at item level) has been written,where it compares the value of that current item and the value stored in Table type variable(collection type) of When-Validate-Record trigger.If the current item value is matched with any value stored in Table type variable I am showing a message of ('Duplicate Record') following by raise_form_trigger failure
This code is working fine for checking duplicate value of that multi record field
The problem is that,if user enter the value in that field,and then goes to next field,enter value to that field and then press 'Enter Query 'icon,the bolth Validate trigger fires.As result first when-validate record fires,which stores that value,and then when-validate-item fires,as a result it shows duplicate record message
Please give me a meaningful logic or code for solving this problem
Any other logic to solve this problem is also welcome

@Ammad Ahmed
first of all thanks .your logic worked,but still i have some little bit of problem,
now the requirement is a master detail form where both master and detail is multirecord ,where detail cannot have duplicate record,
such as..........
MASTER:--
A code
A1
A2
DETAIL:--
D code
d1
d2 <-valid as for master A1 , detail d1 ,d2 are not duplicate
d2 <--invalid as as for master A1 , detail d2 ,d2 are duplicate
validation rule: A Code –D Code combination is unique. The system will stop users from entering duplicate D Code for a A Code. Appropriate error message will be displayed.*
actually i am facing a typical problem,the same logic i have been applied in detail section ,its working fine when i am inserting new records.problem starts when i query,after query in ' a ' field say 2 records (i.e. which has been earlier saved) has been pasted,now if i insert a new record with the value exactly same with the already present value in the screen(i.e. value populated after query) its not showing duplicate.................could u tell me the reason?and help me out...............its urgent plzzzzzzzzz

Passing values in "Date Entry" items to called page

I have a page with:
o 2 Date Entry fields (P1500_BEGINDATE & P1500_ENDDATE).
o A "Submit" button, P1500_SUBMIT_DATE_RANGE
I want to use the 2 dates in a query on a linked page, called by the Submit button. I've setup 2 hidden Date Fields on the 2nd page, hoping I could stuff the dates into them, and grab them from there for the query.
I'm sure I'm making this much harder than it hasta be... but for the life of me, I can't get the dates from the 1st page to the 2nd.
Please let me know the easiest way to accomplish this (I've tried all of the hard ones that don't work... ;o)
Thanks!
Mark

Mark: You don't need hidden fields.
When you submit the page using the Submit button, the P1500_BEGINDATE (you really have 1500 pages in your app?!) and P1500_ENDDATE items are saved into session state and are available on any other page to be used as you need.

Custom column in Crosstab query in BO 6.5

Hello Gurus,
I am trying to create a report in BO 6.5 using data from two flat files by linking them and I applied cross-tab template as I need row data as columns based on a field called STATUS (Approved, Cancelled, In process etc). And in this STATUS field I want to add another column (Not Ordered) on the run using some conditions which is not in the flatfile. How can I do that?
Please let me know if my post in unclear so that I can provide more data regarding the report.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Let me elaborate my requirement. I am trying to create a report using data from two flat files. I am supposed to give the status of orders. So I created crosstab query and I chose STATUS field data to be as columns. Currently it have three fields----Approved, In process, Waiting for approval. Now as per requirement I am supposed to include another column called Not applicable based on two fields Amount and Local/No local. Before this we used to create the same report uising excel and I used below formula:
=IF(AND(Amount=0,B2="Non-Local"),"Not Applicable","Approved")
But in BO if the above condition is False I want that particular record to fall under already existing "Approved" but it is creating another "Approved" status and it is not catagorizing Not applicable....I mean every record with amount =0 falls under new Approved status but not in Not applicable as expected. Hope you understand my issue.
Am i doing anything wrong in creating formula?

Display Crosstab query in DataGrid

Hi, I'm a Flex beginner. Could someone please help me how to
display crosstab query result in DataGrid? The following query
returns 6 columns:
- First column: values in the field Sell_Channel
- Second: Sum(Revenue Total) from the Revenue field.
- Others: Revenue Subtotal by Sell_Channel and quarter.
Quarters are values stored in the field name Quarter. In Datagrid,
what would be the datafield for these 4 quarter columns?
Thanks millions.
Here is my SQL:
TRANSFORM Sum(Revenue.RevenueTotal) AS SumOfRevenueTotal
SELECT Revenue.Sell_Channel, Sum(Revenue.RevenueTotal) AS
[Total Of RevenueTotal]
FROM Quarter INNER JOIN Revenue ON Quarter.FiscalQuarter =
Revenue.Quarter
WHERE (Revenue.Fiscal_Year="2006")
GROUP BY Revenue.Sell_Channel
PIVOT Quarter.Quarter;

Searchable Data Entry Screen in Apex

Similar to Oracle Forms, how can I make a searchable data entry screen in Oracle Apex, where user can query the data on any field.

Hi Debraj,
The simplest method would be to create an Interactive Report page. Have a look at: [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e13367/build_app.htm#insertedID4]. There is no special setup that you need to do to get the search functionality - it's all part of the Interactive Report.
If you wish to use a standard report, the search functionality would have to be created from scratch - this is possible to do but would require you to create individual page items for each field you want to allow searching on and you would also have to manually update the report's SQL statement to apply the filters. This is relatively easy to do, if that is what you require.

Date format for parameter data entry

I've just started working on MS SQL Server 2008 for the first time and am using Crystal XI11.5. I have a date parameter used to pick data. It works fine but the users are used to entering dates in mm/dd/yyyy format but this parameter forces users to enter using yyyy-mm-dd.
Normally I am not too concerned as there is the calendar but I have a couple of keyboard users who would like to just enter in the date format they are used to. I can't find any spot in Crystal to change the data entry format for the dates.
I do understand that SQL Server does store dates in yyyy-mm-dd format so is this why I only have this option? Any way to change it? I do have dates in the report presenting in d-MMM-yyyy format without problem, it's just the date entry prompt.
TIA rasinc

The later versions of CR will not allow you to directly edit the SQL statement. You actually have to add a Command and remove the tables from the data source. You can, if you wish, copy the SQL from the "Show SQL Query" and paste it into the Command.
The reason I tried to delete my previous comment is because it dawned on me (after I made the comment) that the date picker control itself, won't accept any format other than YYYY-MM-DD. So, while you can write the SQL to accept a variety of date formats, you won't be able use any of them while using that control.
The CR date picker control can be found (and therefore replaced by someone w/ more guts than me) in the following locations...
