11g - Listing Workspaces in OLAP DML

Question

Hi All,
Is there a way in OLAP worksheet, to list all the workspaces accessible to the user?
It can be done by querying the data dictionary - "select * from all_aws;" but this information should be available in AW and OLAP DML too?
Regards, Neelesh

Answer 1

In OLAP Worksheet you can select 'SQL Mode' from the Options menu and run the SELECT statement there. Alternatively you can run the SELECT statement from inside an olap dml PROGRAM. Here is an example.
DEFINE LIST_AWS PROGRAM
PROGRAM
  VARIABLE _owner    TEXT
  VARIABLE _aw       TEXT
  VARIABLE _errortext TEXT
  VARIABLE _id_width INTEGER
  TRAP ON HADERROR NOPRINT
  " SQL Names are 30 characters long
  _id_width = 30
  " Declare a SQL cursor to get the list of AWs
  SQL DECLARE AW_SQL CURSOR FOR -
  SELECT OWNER, AW_NAME FROM ALL_AWS
  " Open the cursor
  SQL OPEN AW_SQL
  " Loop through the results
  WHILE SQLCODE EQ 0
  DO
    IF _aw EQ NA
    THEN DO
           " First loop, so print report headings
           SHOW JOINCHARS(RPAD('OWNER', _id_width) ' ' 'AW')
           SHOW JOINCHARS(RPAD('-' _id_width '-' ) ' ' RPAD('-' _id_width '-'))
         DOEND
    ELSE DO
           " Print aw and owner names
           SHOW JOINCHARS (RPAD(_owner, _id_width) ' ' _aw)
         DOEND
    " Fetch next row into local varialbes
    SQL FETCH AW_SQL INTO :_owner, :_aw
  DOEND
  " A SQLCODE of 100 is OK,since it means end of records
  IF SQLCODE EQ 100
  THEN DO
         SQL CLOSE AW_SQL
         SQL CLEANUP
         RETURN
      DOEND
  HADERROR:
   SHOW SQLERRM
   SQL CLEANUP
ENDAnd here is what I see when I call it as the GLOBAL user.
call list_aws
OWNER                      AW
SYS                      EXPRESS
SYS                      AWMD
SYS                      AWCREATE
SYS                      AWCREATE10G
SYS                      AWXML
SYS                      AWREPORT
GLOBAL                      GLOBAL
