1st time an SQL expression is placed on report a DB SELECT executes

The same problem can be created using the normal Crystal Reports XI Release 2 developer environment and/or code (not only a code issue).
Symptom:
We dynamically auto generate SQL Expressions, Tables, Joins, Formula's and anything through C# and place it onto the Crystal Report through code via run-time user input in a web environment. I recieved a notification from one of my DB admins that crystal reports is causing massive memory consumption via unknown SELECT statements that have no joins and/or WHERE criteria.
Some Detective Work/More Info:
After using Microsoft "SQL Profiler" along with Crystal, I understand what is happening but don't know the "work around" to make Crystal stop executing the following SELECT scenario.
Anytime I create a new "SQL Expression" for the first time and then physically "drag and drop" it onto the report then Crystal is executing a "silent" SELECT statement against the database in the design environment. I'm calling it "silent" because I need MS SQL Profiler to see it happen. I'm guessing that this is used for validation or something but this is causing problems when automatically generating a report in a production environment.
Steps to re-create:
1. Open MS "SQL Profiler" and get it running. (will show Crystal Engine silently executes the SELECTS)
2. Add a new "SQL Expression" to your report.
3. Drag and Drop your new "SQL Expression onto your report
4. You will see that Crystal has created an SQL query and executed it against your database in design environment.
The Problem:
I can see under normal circumstances why you might want this funtionality (if it's actually used for the Crystal Engine to validate your SQL Expression). But, What also makes this functionality horrible is that on my behalf Crystal is creating these SELECT statements and using cross joins which is a major problem in a production environment. As a result, huge record sets are being created on our DB Server. I don't believe that this has any purpose in a production evironment when the cross-joins can create huge amounts of results just for the sake of Crystal Internally validating a new SQL Expression placed onto a report. It would be nice to disable this functionality in production. I don't know a "work around" since these SELECT queries are created on my behalf by the Crystal Engine at design time (via code auto generation in production).
Questions:
Can this functionality be disabled to prevent a production server from incurring the execution of these queries?
Anybody else notice this and have a "work around"?

Install Labview DSC Run Time without SQL Express

Hi
I have an application of DSC run time that I tested successfully but now must be installed on a server and my client does not allow install an instance of SQL Server Express because he are already using the Enterprise version. What should I do to not install the SQL Server Express incorporated in the DSC Run Time and use the SQL Server Enterprise already installed on the server?

Hello Jdrendon
Did you try to install your application on a PC with an instance of the Enterprise version?
Maybe another instance of SQL will not be installed in this case, because you already have a later version installed.
The second possibility is just uncheck the option to install the SQL Server Express when you are installing your application.
Let me know if it is possible and if it solve your problem.

Error in SQL Expression

Hello All,
I am having crystal reports XI and I am using OLE DB ADO connection for oracle driver to the DB.
I took a correct SQL expression from a previous report which is working fine and then paste it in a new created SQL Expression in the new report. The exact tables are there. But when clicking on the tick button to check of there are some errors, a message is shown that : ORA-00942 table or view does not exist.
Here is the SQl Expression:
(select MAX(intrates.RATE_DT)
FROM INTRATES,SECTYPE,DEALS,SECISSUE
WHERE sectype.thekey = "posnrpt"."SECTYPE"
AND SECISSUE.THEKEY = SECTYPE.SECISSUE_ID
AND LTRIM(RTRIM(UPPER(intrates.ISSUER_DETAIL_ID))) =LTRIM(RTRIM(UPPER('ID'||secissue.ISIN)))
AND INTRATES.RATE_DT <= "posnrpt"."POSN_DT"
I am wondering why it is working in a previous report which is created long time ago and now it is not working?
Is it from the driver or I have to do further modifications!!!
I am looking forward for your help.

Good question, Jason. The only officially supported use would be of the functions and operators explicitly listed within the editor. The SAP Note referenced in my presentation gives a little more information:
[1217871 - What is the intended use of 'SQL Expression' fields?|http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CBIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sdn.sap.com%2Firj%2Fscn%2Fgo%2Fportal%2Fprtroot%2Fdocs%2Foss_notes_boj%2Fsdn_oss_boj_erq%2Fsap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ%3D%3D)%2Fbc%2Fbsp%2Fspn%2Fscn_bosap%2Fnotes%257B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313337333833373331%257D.do&ei=FtWHTMrpCoTQ8wTutsHfDg&usg=AFQjCNFZG-Ta5JiZFAzXf2HC5GE7-QkJug]
I'm sure the reason the SELECT statements aren't officially supported is that they aren't written in Crystal syntax. What one is able to do with a SELECT statement depends on the database (Access, Oracle, MS SQL Server, etc..), type of database connection (Native, ODBC, etc..) the flavor of SQL being used, which is dependent on the previous two, etc.. Even the functions and operators available in the editor depend on the above conditions. What you see as available may not be what I see..
So, while SAP can support the feature as a whole, they can't necessarily provide syntax support, nor guarantee effectiveness. There's also very little documentation on them, as a result. A lot of what I've learned to do with SQL Expressions has been through trial and error.
Personally, I prefer to build reports against Views, if possible, and Commands or Stored Procedures, if necessary. SQL Expressions are great, though, in a pinch against existing reports with performance or design issues. In the case of the report above, I was able to dramatically increase performance and eliminate sub-reports in an existing report that was written by another individual. Without the SQL Expressions, I would have had to write even more complicated SQL and rebuild the report.
Since I can use them and I know how powerful they can be, I'll keep using them until I can't. At this point in time, they work with Crystal Reports 2008, which has a very low adoption rate, and I haven't heard of them being deprecated in Crystal Reports 2011, which I expect to be around for several years, so I'm not too concerned.

SQL expression in ODI

I Have the following interface in oracle data integrator
http://i44.tinypic.com/2mrsmxt.png
# it execute successfully before inserting the following expression
In the mapping I insert the following SQL expression to get the average when the quantity is 0
AVG(
CASE WHEN TEST.QUN = 0 THEN
(SELECT TEST.QUN FROM TEST
WHERE TEST1.PRUDU=TEST.PRUDU
AND TEST1.FLOW=TEST.UNIT
AND TEST1.UNIT=TEST.UNIT
AND to_char(TEST.DATEDDD,'MON')= to_char(TEST1.DATEDDD,'MON')
AND TEST1.DATEDDD !=TEST.DATEDDD
GROUP BY TEST.QUN
ELSE TEST.QUN
END)
when I check this expression in ODI ..
# the sql expression is correct for this RDMS
when I executed the interface i get this error
Caused By: java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00937: not a single-group group function
any idea ?

I changed the code a little ..
CASE WHEN TEST.QUN = 0 THEN
(SELECT AVG(TEST.QUN) FROM TEST
WHERE TEST1.PRUDU=TEST.PRUDU
AND TEST1.FLOW=TEST.FLOW
AND TEST1.UNIT=TEST.UNIT

ELSE TEST.QUN
END
And I get this error ..
ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row tips.
The TEST Table from the source and TEST1 is a lookup table because I couldn't do the alais in ODI
In sql developer I did the following code that will do the same thing and work successfully ..
update test B
set B.qun=
(SELECT AVG(TEST.QUN) FROM TEST
WHERE TEST.FLOW=B.UNIT
AND TEST.UNIT=B.UNIT

Sql expression fields in subreports (CR XI)

Post Author: yyu
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Is it normal that the sql expression fields don't show up in a subreport?
I don't see any. Does anyone know how? Thanks!

Sorry for the delay getting back to you all.
I set up a report against the xtreme database sample. Added the Customer table, and put the columns "Customer ID" and "Customer Name" on the report. I then created a new SQL Expression and entered the following:
( SELECT SUM(`Orders`.`Order Amount`) FROM `Orders`
WHERE `Orders`.`Customer ID`=`Customer`.`Customer ID`)
I could save the new SQL Expression, which is farther than I got in the real report. I added the SQL Expression field to the report. But when I try to preview the report, I get an error:
Error in compiling SQL Expression :
Failed to open a rowset.
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x800004005
Source: Microsoft JET Database Engine
Description: Unspecified Error
Native Error: 62411
I suspect that's the MS Access version of the error I was getting with MySQL.

SQL expression not working, newbie. Malformed?

Hi, I'm a newbie to CR. I've got a report that works which I want to add a SQL expression field to that returns the text from a column in one table when another column in that table is equal to the string result of concatenating the values of two columns from a different table.
This is my SQL expression. I'm using CR XI R2.
SELECT
    "Windows_Notes"."NOTES_61"
WHERE
    ("Windows_Notes"."KEY_61" = '"RMA_Detail"."RMANUM_52" + "RMA_Detail"."RMALIN_52"')
    AND ("Windows_Notes"."LINE_61" = '0000')
There are actually two WHERE clauses as you can see above. Anyway, this isn't returning any data even though I can see in SQL Server Management Studio that the data is there. Even if I get rid of the concatenation and use a static value that I know should work (like '8000002501'), I get no results. As soon as I insert this SQL expression field into the report, the whole page is just blank. If I remove it again, everything shows up like before.
Any hints or solutions? I just made my first report last night, so this may be a stupid question.
Thank you.

Thanks to you both for the performance tips. I got it working just before you guys answered with this line:
{Windows_Notes.KEY_61} = {RMA_Detail.RMANUM_52}+{RMA_Detail.RMALIN_52} and {Windows_Notes.LINE_61} = '0000'
And now I've run into yet another fun problem. This one may be more difficult to tackle. Sometimes there will be no rows returned from that query. If there is a result I am including a string in the report from Windows_Notes.NOTES_61 which just contains optional notes for RMA numbers in our company. (like a short description of the customer's problem)
Sometimes there are no notes entered. When this is the case, the report is no longer showing those RMAs, heh. How can I get it to just display nothing in the notes column but still show the rest of the fields when that query returns no rows?
I tried removing the previous code from the record selection forumula, then creating a formula field with the following:
if ({Windows_Notes.KEY_61} = {RMA_Detail.RMANUM_52}+{RMA_Detail.RMALIN_52} and {Windows_Notes.LINE_61} = '0000') then (
    {Windows_Notes.NOTES_61}
And I insterted that formula field onto the report instead of the Windows_Notes.NOTES_61 database column directly. It didn't work. I'm not clever enough after one day's experience with Crystal Reports...

Sql expressions field option not available in field explorer

Hello:
I would like to create a sql expression field in my report. however when I go to the field explorer panel, a sql expression fields node is not available to create one. Does anybody know why is this not an option?
Thank You Very Much

Also if you are creating based off any stored procedure or View you can't see Sql Exprn under field explorer. I think it is also databse specific. What is the databse you are using ? also what is your datasource ?

Select statements inside a SQL Expression field

Hello
Why cannot we use the Select statements inside a SQL expression field in Crystal Reports ?
Any alternatives for this...
SELECT Top(1) "SomePrivateDatabase"."SPDname" FROM "SomePrivateDatabase"
inner join "Subscriber" on
"Subscriber"."SPDID" = "SomePrivateDatabase"."SPDID"
inner join "UserDetails" on
"UserDetails"."SPDID" = "SubscriberCore"."SPDID"

Edited by: Srivatsa Haridas on Dec 3, 2008 12:17 PM

Hi Srivatsa,
SQL Expressions is something the Database supports. We query the Client engine for a list of functions they make available. If the SQL Statement is not list it's not an option and therefore it won't work.
Your work arounds are to use either a Stored Procedure, this is the most efficient way, all processing is done server side and CR simply waits for the data to format in the report. Another option is to use a
Command Object, use one CO per report so try to get all data within the SQL statement. We simply pass the SQL to the server and wait for the result set, if you get an error it will be the SQL you typed in. Test in a SQL test tool first to confirm you are getting the data correctly.
For more assistance in designing reports please post your report deisgn questions to the Reprot Design forums. I am moving this one to that queue.
Thank you

SQL Expression in Filter conditon Error in OBIEE 10g

I am getting an error while giving the sql in the sql expression in filter conditon.
The sql expression I am giving is:SELECT MAX("Task Runs"."Start Time") saw_4 FROM "Analysis"'
Error:

But when I individualy select start time column and check max of it the data comes fine, but if I am giving in sql expression it errors out.
Please suggest.

Hi Sini,
I have tried taking the second suggestion but I get no result for that
"Task Runs"."Start Time" -->Filter->Advanced button->Convert this in SQL->
WHERE "Task Runs"."Start Time" >= MAX("Task Runs"."Start Time" by "Task"."Task Name")
Here I did not understand the code Task Runs"."Start Time" by "Task"."Task Name". If possible elaborate.
And 1st suggestion the query formed just looks the query u suggested.
Unable to figure out what exactly is the problem.
Try something as in with 2 queries
http://www.cool-bi.com/Tweaks/JoinsinAnswers.php
or else
"Task Runs"."Start Time" -->Filter->Advanced button->Convert this in SQL->
WHERE "Task Runs"."Start Time" >= MAX("Task Runs"."Start Time" by "Task"."Task Name")
not sure how it works but this is other way of your sql in BI

Can't connect to VS Express 2012 from SQL Express 2012

I have recently installed VS Express 2012 and SQL Server Express 2012.
I can open the Management Tools in SQL and view my data - and see my databases are all there, with their data..
From within VS Express, when I use the wizard to create a new datasource - it never finds the SQL server...
Is there something I need to do to enable the connection between VS and SQL?
Thanks,
Amber

Hello ,
I would be curious to know the "short" name of your SQL Server Express you have installed.
As I suppose that you have installed all the available features of your SQL Server , you have 3 ways to know this "short" name ( it is important as it is possible that you have installed a no-named instance , that's to say with an empty "short" name
1) find your SQL Server Configuration Manager and open it. It will open on a screen like this
select and click the 1st item in the left panel ( SQL Server Services ) . In the right panel , you should see at the 1st line the name of your SQL Server instance. In my case , the "short" name of my instance is SQLEXPRESS. So the name you have to give
for your datasource is
yourComputerName\ShortInstanceName
yourComputerName is the name of your laptop
ShortInstanceName is the short name of your SQL Server instance ( you will find it surrounded by brackets ).If you have done a default install , it should be SQLEXPRESS like for me.
Check that the service is running ( like in my screenshot ). If not , right-click on the line corresponding to the SQL Server service and click on Start.
2nd solution : you can use VS ( I have a VS 2012 Express for Windows DeskTop ).Click on Add a connection .A new form ( labeled Add a connection ) will appear. Click on the Refresh button , at the right of a listbox labeled Server Name ( the listbox
with the names of the available SQL Server instances is not populated automatically and sometimes you will need to click twice on the Refresh button to see all SQL Server instances ). Select the full name of your SQL Server instance..As it is the 1st time
that you are creating a database , you should be able to see only the system databases ( Master , msdb , tempdb , model).
3rd solution : to use SSMS , it is the best solution to create a new database. When you open SSMS , you have immediately the connection form on the screen. Choose the last item labeled " of the combobox labeled Browse for more and you will select the
name of your SQL Server instance.
Have a nice day

How can I Purge in SQL Express database?

For development purposes, we created a Hyper-V VM running Windows 7 with BizTalk Server 2010 installed running against a SQL Express database. We also installed Visual Studio (licensed) for map development.
Over time, the BizTalk tables grow, and are taking up way too much storage space.
I looked at the "Microsoft recommended" method of purging the BizTalk database/tables, but it requires enabling a DTA job in SQL Agent which is not available in SQL Express (as far as I know.)
How can I purge the BizTalk tables in SQL Express to reclaim storage space?
Since this is a development platform, I do NOT care about ANY historical data being retained, only "system" data (such as parties, etc.)
Thanks!!
Jim Barr

You can use the various cleanup scripts to purge the database. Details:
http://biztalkscheduledtask.codeplex.com/
Of course, you should not be using SQL Express.

TS3297 Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?!(for 1st time purchase)

Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?! (for 1st time purchase) I know the questions are not what I chose because I wrote the questions & answers down when setting up the ipod. Any ideas??!!!

Reset Security Questions
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Manage My Apple ID
Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
If all else fails:
1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
3. Then choose iTunes Store;
4. Then choose Account Management;
5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
      Continue;
6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
      like your security/challenge questions reset;
8. Click Send/Continue.
You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
      tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
      "done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
      Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
      should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
      security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
      selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
      should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
      questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!

How to change sql expression of SQL-Calculated Attribute of view object ?

Hi
jdev 11.1.1.5
I have a view object with a SQL-Calculated Attribute (sumAnalytic) how can I change sql expression of this attribute in runtime?
for example in application module method??

Hi Mr Timo
Thanks for your reply but I do not need dynamic vo because I can not change all of my vo
I only need to change expression of SQL-Calculated Attribute of view object in run time.
For this I set expression in view object something like this 'select 2 from dual' and in run time in my AM method I get the vo query and replace 'select 2 from dual' with something like 'selet sum(amnt) over (partition by 1)' and set new query.
But I think the better solution must exist
Thanks
