How to know a table column name in HTML (Hyperion Interactive Reporting).

Hello,
I have a Hyperion Interactive Reporting dashboard section with an embembed table section on it.
The dashboard it will be open only in HTML.
I put the table as Active, so i can interact with her.
So, what I need to know now is how can I know the column name or number when I double click in one cell of the table.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you in advance,
Carlos

Views don't have primary keys though their underlying tables might. You'd need to pick apart the view to determine where it's columns are coming from.
You can select the text of the view in question from user_views.

How to find internal table column names

Hi Friends,
I have declared one internal table with 45 fields.
Here is my situation.
I need to create dynamic table with all above 45 fields and some more fields (approx 10 fields).
I got the solution for creating dynamic table. Only thing is
I have to assign all the above 75 columns to other internal table.
is there any way we can read internal table field names in the program.
we can acheive this by hard coding the all 75 field names.
since it is 75 columns, i want to pass one by one field dynamically to the other table.
Pls give me a solution.
thanks in advance.

How do you get table column names to show one time per page

I have a report where I want the column names to show one time per page.
I have the table with the column names set below the header and above the
'for-each Row'.
When I view the report in PDF format the colunm names show only one time on the first page and on the other pages the column names do not show at all. If I view the report in RTF, the same thing happens, shows column names on the first page, but not on the other pages after that.
I highlighted the table and went to table properties, clicked on ROW tab and then checked (Repeat as header row at the top of each page) and it still does not work for PDF or RTF format. I have looked at other forums with this issue and it doesn't work for me in PDF format.
Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong.....
I appreciate anyone that can help me.
Thank you,
Susie

I figured out what I was doing wrong.
I was creating a seperate table for the column names and not using the table where the column names where created originally. I deleted the column names from the original table and created a seperate table above that table with the column names only.
So I went back to the original table and highlighted the row with the column names and went to table properties/ROW tab/ and clicked (Repeat as header row at the top of each page) and now it works perfectly in PDF format where the column names show one time for each page. Deleted the other table where I had the column names only.
thanks

How to use simple types for table column names ?

Hi,
can any one tell how to to use simple types for table column names?
It is required in internationalizing of webdynpro applications.
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi,
1: define required column names in <SimpleType>
2:use the following code to get those values
3:bind 'text' property of Column headers to context attributes
4:take a context attribute 'Value' as type of <SimpleType>
5:set these values to context attributes
IWDAttributeInfo objAttrInfo=wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(IPrivate<ViewName>View.IContextElement.VALUE);
ISimpleTypeModifiable simple=objAttrInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
Map m=simple.getEnumerationTexts();
Collection c=m.values();
Iterator it=c.iterator();
if(it.hasNext())
wdContext.currentContextElement.set<att1>(it.next().toString);
if(it.hasNext())
wdContext.currentContextElement.set<att2>(it.next().toString);
if(it.hasNext())

How can I change a column name in table (JDeveloper 10.1.3.3)?

I'd like to change a table column name, for example instead of "FirstName" I'd like "Name".
Here is the preview: http://img208.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=86575_firstname_122_578lo.JPG
Thank You in advance!

Now I have following problem: When I change "Label text" to column which has "Combo box" (Department insted of DepartmentId) I do not have my combo box anymore, just DepartmentId (Number). I have created binding... (DepartmentId -> Department Name) Why is this happening?

I need the "Real" Table / Table Column names from a sql view

Firstly, we have a system with ~1000 tables and ~250 views. We have field level security on the table columns (in our code)
Now we have a lot of views which select data from the tables, but I need to get the "Table Column Name" that is linked in the view.
I know there are view columns that is not linked to a specific table column, (or concatenation of columns) so those columns can just return NULL.
From the sample you will see there is a view selecting data from another view. I know it is not the best sql performance (execution path) but that is another topic on its own.
I went through a lot of the sys.* stored procs or sys.* views to try and figure out if there is a view that we can use to get the expected results.
here is the sql code:
if
Exists (select
* from
sys.all_objects
where name =
'AliasView2')
drop view dbo.AliasView2
if
Exists (select
* from
sys.all_objects
where name =
'AliasView1')
drop view dbo.AliasView1
if
Exists (select
* from
sys.all_objects
where name =
'Table4')
BEGIN
alter table dbo.Table4
DROP CONSTRAINT [FK_T4_T3]
alter table dbo.Table4
DROP CONSTRAINT [PK_T4_Constraint]
drop table dbo.Table4
END
if
Exists (select
* from
sys.all_objects
where name =
'Table3')
BEGIN
alter table dbo.Table3
DROP CONSTRAINT [FK_T3_T2]

Finding source database table/column name for a column in a view

Hi i need to be able to identify the original database table/column name for a column in a view.
e.g. say i have a view like this
create v1 as select a.name fname, b.name bname, c.name cname,......
from u1.names a, u2.names b. u3.names c
where .....
Now I want to find out that the database table/column name for the fname, bname and cname columns in the view v1, which in this instance is u1.name.name, u2.names.name, u3.names.name.
But i need to be able to do it for any view. Short of parsing the SQL is there an easy way of doing this?
Now obviusly I can't do this for virtual columns but I will know my column is not virtual as it has an index on it.

But i need to be able to do it for any view. Short of
parsing the SQL is there an easy way of doing this?No, parsing the SQL is the only way. Good luck it is not something I would want to attempt.

How to test BLOB Table Column in BCBrowser??

Hi,
My requirement is to upload a file(pdf,doc,jpg, txt) into DB using ADF.
I use, Jdev 11.1.1.6, Oracle 10g XE.
For this, I created the following
1. A table as MyFilesTab(ID Number, FileName Varchar2(80), File BLOB)
2. An Entity Object MyFilesEO on MyFilesTab.
3. Generated a default view object: MyFilesVO
4. Application Module : TestAM with view instance "MyFiles"
But When I run TestAM, I see MyFiles as an Input textbox. So I cannot able to add a file that will be stored in my Table.
Please help me out.

Just to clarify, my previous post is related to title of this thread("How to test BLOB Table Column in BCBrowser??"),
and not to "My requirement is to upload a file(pdf,doc,jpg, txt) into DB using ADF"

Remain case for table column name

Hello, i am a java developer. I had helped my company to develop a java application all the while and before this we are using ms sql server database. Recently, we want to migrate the database to oracle database. The problem is, in our application, we use the resultsetmetadata to retrieve all the table column name and respective data and store in hashtable, but in ms sql server the table column name is not all in uppercase. When our application try to get the data using hashtable.get("aColumnName"), it will fail because in oracle the column name is all in uppercase. There are more than 1000 jsp page and java code that used the same method to get data, so if i want to change all the code to uppercase, it will consume a lot of unproductive time, is there any way to solve this?

I assume that your code builds an SQL statement like "select * from ??? where table_name = '????';".
If this is correct just wrap the table_name in UPPER(table_name).
If my assumption is incorrect then please give more information.
James.

Syntax of DDL options and related (table) column names

Hi,
where can I find something like a mapping between DDL options and related table column names?
For example I do have the table options PCTFREE, FREELISTS and NOCOMPRESS. The related table columns out of user_tables are PCT_FREE, FREELIST and COMPRESS.
PCT(_)FREE wins an Underscore, FREELIST(S) wins an "S" and it is "NOCOMPRESS" if COMPRESS has a value "Y(es)".
Hope somebody can help.

So far I didn't find any information that is not in
the DDL script gernerated from
DBMS_METADATA.get_DDL.Alright, I give you an example:
I create a table with the following DDL:
"CREATE TABLE IntBuch (
int_bunr integer NOT NULL,
int_sdat double precision NOT NULL,
int_hblz char(8) NOT NULL,
int_hkto char(7) NOT NULL,
int_hdat double precision NOT NULL,
KtoNr char(7) NOT NULL,
BLZ char(8) NOT NULL,

CREATE INDEX hkto

ADD CONSTRAINT Gutschrift FOREIGN KEY (int_hkto,int_hblz) REFERENCES Konto
ON DELETE CASCADE
ADD FOREIGN KEY (KtoNr,BLZ) REFERENCES Konto
ADD FOREIGN KEY (int_bunr) REFERENCES Buchung
ON DELETE CASCADE
After that I read the DDL with DBMS_METADATA.get_DDL and I get

If there are no more DDLOptions possible than that, it is fine for me. If not, but all kinds of options are to find in only one or two tables of the database ( user_tables for table options, dba_constraints and dba_segments for column options, primary and foreign keys, user_indexes and user_segments for indexes ...), that is fine for me, too. (As long as I get to know which tables are "sufficient" for that.) If it is different than both of that, that's bad.
However if you want to use defaults instead of
absolut values, it is better to remove certain parts,
like the storage clause, from the generated output.I understand this, but I am more interested to have all and not leaving out some of them in order to have the defaults in the database after running the DDL.
A totally different approach could be to
a) create a database link from one DB to another.
b) create table <new_table> as select * from
<old_table@dbLink> where 1=2;I keep that in mind, thanks for that hint.

How to select even the column names of a table?

Hello All,
Is there a way to select even the column names of a table in the select statement?
My select from a table (say X) is in a SQL* Plus script that gets invoked by application tier and displays data in the application tier window. User's can then copy the data into a spreadsheet and do their processing. However, I need to give them the column names too along with the data.
Thanks,
Chiru

If there is a middle tier that is selecting and
displaying the data, and that's what the users are
copying from, the middle tier would have to address
its presentation of the data to allow users to
include column names. If this is a common task, the
application should probably be modified to give users
the option of downloading the data in a spreadsheet
directly rather than forcing them to copy and paste
data.Thanks for the reply.
The users don't have to copy paste. The application tier has an options in the "Tools" menu item which allows them to copy the entire output to a file (in my case a txt file which is a pipe delimited). Then they have to do text to columns to get the data into each column of the spreadsheet. I could have directly called the stored procedures from the application tier and created ".csv" files and FTP'd them to the user's folders. However, I am having to go this round about because, I am not getting enough support from the LAN team in FTP'ing etc.
OK I'll think of another workaround.
Thanks,
Chiru

How to know primary key column name form a table name in sql query

Suppose I only know the table name. How to get its primary key column name from the table name?
Thanks

Views don't have primary keys though their underlying tables might. You'd need to pick apart the view to determine where it's columns are coming from.
You can select the text of the view in question from user_views.
