Report using Data from different tables

Hello,
I am trying to convert a Cobol batch program to Oracle 6i tabular report.
The data is fetched from many different tables and there are lots of processing(i.e, based on the value of a column from one table need additional processing from different tables) required to generate the desired columns in the final report.
I would like to know what is the best strategy to follow in Oracle Reports 6i. I heard that CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE is an option. ( or REF CURSOR ?) I do not know much about its usage. Can somebody guide me about this or any other better way to achieve the result.
Thank you in advance
Priya

Hello,
There are many, many options available to you, each of which has advantages and disadvantages. This is why it is difficult to answer "what is best?" without alot more details about your specific circumstances.
In general, you're going to be writing PL/SQL to do any conditional logic that cannot be expressed as pure SQL. It can executed in the database, or it can executed within Reports itself. And most reports developers do some of both.
As a general rule, you want to send only the data you need from the database to the report. This means you want to do as much filtering and aggregating of the data as is readily possible within the database. If this cannot be expressed as plain SQL queries, then you'll want to create a stored procedures to help do this work.
Generally, the PL/SQL you create for executing within the report should be focused on control of the formatting, such as controlling whether a field is visible, or controlling display attributes for conditional formatting.
But these are not hard and fast rules. In some cases, it is difficult to get all the stored procedures you might like installed into the database. Perhaps the dba is reluctant to let you install that many stored procedures. Perhaps there are restrictions when and how often updates can be made to stored procedures in a production database, which makes it difficult to incrementally adjust your reports based on user feedback. Or perhaps there are restrictions for how long queries are allowed to run.
So, Reports offers lots of options and features to let you do data manipulation operations from within the report data model.
In any case, Oracle does offer temporary table capabilities. You can populate a temp table by running stored procedures that do queries, calculations and aggregations. And you can define and initiate a dynamic query statement within the database and pass a handle to this query off to the report to execute (ref cursor).
From the reports side, you can have as many queries as you want in the data model, arranged in any hierarchy via links. You can parameterize and change the queries dynamically using bind variables and lexicals. And you can add calculations, aggregations, and filters.
Again, most people do data manipulation both in the database and in Reports, using the database for what it excels at, and Reports for what it excels at.
Hope this helps.

How to display multiple data from different table in one table? please help

Hi
I got sun java studio creator 2(the separate installation not the one in the net beans)....
My question is about displaying data that have been taken from the database.... I know how to display data in a table(just click on the table "bind data" )... but my question is that:
when i want to use a sql statement that taken the data from different table...
how can i display that data in the table(that will be shown in the web) ??? when i click bind data on the table i can only select one table i can't select more than one....
Note:
1) i'm using the rowset for displaying the data in the table, since the sql statement is depending on a condition(i.e. select a from b where c= ? )...
2) i mean by different table is that( i.e. select a from table1,table2 )..
thanks in advance...

I want display the details of emp table.. for that I am using this SQL statement.
select * from emp where mgr=nvl(:mgr,mgr);
when I give the input as 7698 it is displaying the corresponding records... and also when I won't give any input then it is displaying all the records except the mgr with null values.
1)I want to display all the records when I won't give any input including nulls
2)I want to display all the records who's mgr is null
Is there any way to incorporate to include all these in a single query..It's a little unclear what you're asking.
The following query always includes rows where mgr is NULL, and when the bind variable :mgr is NULL, it displays all rows:
SELECT *
FROM     emp
WHERE     LNNVL (mgr != :mgr)
;That is, when :mgr = 7698, it displays 6 rows, and when :mgr is NULL it displays 14 rows (assuming you're using the Oracle-supplied scott.emp table).
The following query includes rows where mgr is NULL only when the bind variable :mgr is NULL, in which case it displays all rows:
SELECT     *
FROM     emp
WHERE     :mgr     = mgr
OR      :mgr      IS NULL
;When :mgr = 7698, this displays 5 rows, and when :mgr is NULL it displays 14 rows.
The following query includes rows where mgr is NULL only when the bind variab;e :mgr is NULL, in which case it displays only the rows where mgr is NULL. That is, it treats NULL as a value:
SELECT     *
FROM     emp
WHERE     DECODE ( mgr
            , :mgr, 'OK'
            )     = 'OK'
;When :mgr = 7698, this displays 5 rows, and when :mgr is NULL, it displays 1 row.

Fetch data from different tables print them is assigned places

Hi Friends,
I have designed one SMART-Form (Receipt).
I need to fetch data from different tables and the data must be print in assigned places. Please help me how to achieve this requirement. Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Manju.
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 12, 2008 10:20 AM

U're right.
When it creates a smartform it needs to decide when the main data have to be extracted:
- or in driver program
- or in smartforms
The difference can be in the performance, because the program can select the data only once, the smartforms needs to extract them everytime it's called.
I prefer to use a complex structure for the smartform interface as so all data I need are in only one structure, the problem is the complex structure is harder to be managed.

Retriving of data from different tables

Complicated Question (see pdf): Use data from one table to find the same data in a second table and take other data from that table and place it in a third table. :)

I don't even know if this is posible.
I'm using iwork '09
View PDF

I hope I can clarify:
For our purposes here:
Table 1 = "Step 2 - Product Sizes"
Table 2 = "Option id Master"
Table 3 = "Export - Product Info"
Table 1:
The user would enter values for "productcode," "Horz," and "Vert"
"Size" would auto fill based on values in Horiz and Vert (I have this taken care of already).
Table 2: This is a completely static table that I want to search against. - Data from other tables in the doc does not alter or change the data in this doc.
We just want to look at table 2. Find the existing value in "table 2 : size" column that matches the "table 1 : size" column and then pull the "optionids" and "productprice" from that row.
Can the value from "Table 1 : Size" be used as a search term in "Table 2 : Size?"
Table 3: The user does not enter any values on this table.
"productcode" is pulled from table 1 - "Table 1 :: A5" = "Table 3 :: A5"
"optionids" and "productprice" are pulled from Table 2 columns "D" and "E" - however we do not know which Table 2 row it is pulling from until we enter data in Table 1.
As I'm writing this I'm realizing that
A. this is probably really confusing to you.
B. this may be impossible inside of numbers.
If you have some other method that would facilitate the same out come but be structured differently please let me know.
--- maybe to help you understand further what I am doing here is my current workflow:
I record the size of a piece of art.
Then I manually go to my "Option id Master" and find the same size.
I then copy the corresponding "optionids" and "productprice" cells. (these options control the prices displayed on my website)
I got to my "Export - Product Info" table and paste the values in the corresponding cells.
I was hoping to automate this as it takes a long time when you have hundreds of products.
Thanks for the help!

Retrieving Data from different Tables with same tuple name

Hi,
I am made the following query from different tables. A tuple "name" is appearing in some tables. So when I run the qiery in a Java class, it delivers the same result of c.name, bpl.name and p.name. The result of c.name is correct, but the other 2 names are overwritten. It works perfect in a postgreSql query tool. How can I correct it, plz?
SELECT c.ad_client_id, c.name, o.c_order_id, o.ref_order_id, bp.name, bpl.name, o.dateordered, o.datepromised, od.c_orderline_id,p.m_product_id,p.name, cur.iso_code, od.qtyordered
FROM adempiere.ad_client c, adempiere.c_order o, adempiere.c_orderline od, adempiere.c_bpartner bp, adempiere.m_product p, adempiere.c_bpartner_location bpl, adempiere.c_currency cur
WHERE c.ad_client_id =11 and c.ad_client_id = o.ad_client_id and bp.c_bpartner_id=o.c_bpartner_id and o.c_order_id = od.c_order_id and od.m_product_id = p.m_product_id and o.c_bpartner_location_id =bpl.c_bpartner_location_id and o.c_currency_id=cur.c_currency_id;
Cheers

Hi,
create alias, if u have similar field names as below. Use the alias name (rs.getString("cname") and rs.getString("bpname") and so on ) to retrive data.
SELECT c.ad_client_id, c.name as cname, o.c_order_id, o.ref_order_id, bp.name as bpname, bpl.name as bplname, o.dateordered, o.datepromised, od.c_orderline_id,p.m_product_id,p.name as pname, cur.iso_code, od.qtyordered
FROM adempiere.ad_client c, adempiere.c_order o, adempiere.c_orderline od, adempiere.c_bpartner bp, adempiere.m_product p, adempiere.c_bpartner_location bpl, adempiere.c_currency cur

ALV OOps report- getting data from two tables and adding issue

Hi,
This is sales employee performance report.
I need to select all the fields from two tables based on user input ie VKorg, sales employee .
There is one field callled " Net sales"in both the tables.
Based on sales employee number, i need to add that net sales which i get from two tables.
I need to generate single report.
Can you give some inputs reg. the select query.
My idea is select all the data from both tables using join statement.
Thanks

Hi,
I have written like this:
select * from S002 as a join S006 as b
    into table ME->SS002_RAW[]
    where vkorg in me->select_parameters->SO_VKORG[] = vkorg in me->select_parameters->SO_VKORG[]
          and ZZSLSEMP01 in me->select_parameters->SO_so_empl[] = ZZSLSEMP02 in me->select_parameters->SO_so_empl[].
when i do like that,
I am getting error
Incorrect structure of FROM clause . . . .
If you give some idea on this

How to Select Data from different Tables Using Linq

Hi,
I have two different tables, I just want to collect data from tables using Linq to SQL Queries.
The tables looks like This
ID Name ImageUrl
Other Table is
ID EmpID CheckInTime CheckOutTime
What I want to Collect data from CheckInTime and want to place it in a that is in a list view
Same thing I want to do it for CheckOutTime And One thing I want to tell is both tables are joined by a FK EmpID with ID.
What Are the suggestions for me
I have Used this code
var data = from emp in db.Employees
join chk in db.CheckInCheckOuts on emp.ID equals chk.EmpID
select new EmployeeCheckInOut
Name = emp.Name,
ImageUrl = emp.ImageUrl,
CheckIn = emp.CheckInCheckOuts,
CheckOut = emp.CheckInCheckOuts
Here the CheckInCheckOuts is another table, I don't how do I access fields of the Other table "CheckInCheckOuts"
Thank you
Ali

Mitja,
Kind of Tables, I don't Know but I can Tell you that these are Two table, first Table Have Data in It, Name, ImageUrl I have filled this table with names and ImageUrls And are string type.Other Table is for the CheckInTime And CheckOutTime of the employee.
What I need that when I click on the Image button it Should displays The Current Datetime into the label below the Image button.
So I have Problem accessing my CheckInCheckOut Table because I may not have Idea about.Did you understand what I need to do, if you have more question please ask to me.
Thanks

Using data from mutliple tables in COOIS

We are in the process of upgrading from 4.6C to ECC60. In 4.6C, we
implemented the modification as described in Note 434123 to add custom
fields to the COOIS report.
Our custom list contains data from both the order header and order
operations. Therefore, data was drawn from tables IOOPER_TAB and
IOHEADER_TAB, which were both present in the old solution. However, the
BADI solution used in ECC60 only contains data in the structure belonging to the list
type selected at the selection screen. The list types are defined in
domain 'PPIO_LISTTYPE'. The structure that is filled with data is set inprogram PPIO_ENTRY_FILL_TCOA, form 'fill_tcoa'. Unfortunately, there is
no list type available that activates both IOOPER and IOHEADER.
I also cannot find a method in the BADI to influence the content of TCOA.
However, I don't want to create lengthy code to retrieve the data myself.
The most tempting solution (modification) is to:
1. extend the value range of PPIO_LISTTYPE with the cusom list
2. add an entry to the CASE statement in form FILL_TCOA to place an 'X' in both 'cs_tcoa-oper_sel' and 'cs_tcoa-header_sel'.
When (using list type PPIOO00-operations), and manually setting 'cs_tcoa-header_sel' to 'X' in the debugger, all data needed to create
the desired output is present. Is it truly necessary to implement this as a modification, or is there a better solution (without implementing a modification) to activate data
retrieval of multiple tables form logical database IOC?

Thanks very much for your quick response Anup.
1. If I create a view in R/3, please let me know how should I bring this information in to BW. Should I create a table in bw or should I create a generic datasource attaching this view?
Also, please let me know what will be the logic (not the abap code) to create a view on these 4 tables. I need to incorporate this logic in to my spec.
2. Do I write a function module in BW?
Thanks!!

Retrieving data from different tables in the same time crash

Hi
this is probably the wrong way to do it, but this is how I did:
- I wanted a screen with 3 datagrids components retrieving data from 3 different tables.
- I could make it work while enabling 1 or 2 of them. When the 3 are enabled, I get this error:
btw its a huge msg, I will trim it:

the getItems_paged is a auto generated function inside the php class flex generates to handle the tables.
Each of the datagrid is a custom component. I made so to avoid keeping a bunch of code lines in the main 'page'.
Any suggestion to make it work smoothly?

Data from different tables in EIS

I am trying to build EIS 6.5.1. model so it loads data for Actual from one table, and for Budget from another one, into a cube with Scenario dimension - Actual and Budget. I know workaround for this (creating one table with merged data separated by Scenario), but I was wandering is there another way to do it? I could probably create the separate model for each table as a source and change my Scenario Default member, but... How 'bout some elegance and simplicity?Any advice or a guideline appreciated,=================M. SladicCIBC-AGS, [email protected]

If you use SQL Interface to load the data instead of EIS, you can easily accomodate this, either as a single load or possibly a two-pass load. I always prefer to use SQL interface to load the data as it is much easier, you can use load rules to manipulate/transform data as necessary, and you can use error files that are produced. Drill through still works as it is only dependent on outline generation, not data loading. This will require a license of SQL Interface, however.
