Accessing table column names from WAD

Hi All,
I w ould like to access the column names (the Infoobject name) of a table .
Was playing arnd with the API..SAPBWGetDataProviderDimensions
but it gives only characters column name..
WAS wondering if any of you has any idea to access both the char names as well as KF's.
thnx for your time..
appreciate your inputs/cues..

You can use the getDimensionName function to get the characteristic texts and infoobject technical name. The following function might help you.
function getDimensionName(n,dp){
    var dim = SAPBWGetDataProviderDimensions(dp);
    var iobjnm = "";
    var str = "";
    if ( dim != null ){
      for( i=0;i<dim.length;i++ ){
        str = dim<i>[0];//setting str equal to the first position in the array
     str.indexOf("__")>-1 ? iobjnm = str.substring( str.indexOf("__")+2, str.length ) : iobjnm = str ;
       if (dim<i>[0]==n ){//this means we have found the property array for the info object we are concerned with
            if (dim<i>[20] == iobjnm)
                return iobjnm
            else if ((dim<i>[20] != "") && (dim<i>[0] != dim<i>[20]))
                return dim<i>[0]
            else
                return dim<i>[0]
        else
           iobjnm="error";
      }//for
    }//if
    return iobjnm;
}//end function
Thanks,

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]

DROP CONSTRAINT [PK_T4_Constraint]

How to get only column names from different tables as single table columns

Hi All,
I have one requirement in which we want only column names from different tables.
for example :
I have three tables T1 ,T2, T3 having
col1 clo2 clo3 --> T1 ,
col3 col5 ,clo6 --> T2 ,
Clo6 col8 col9 --> T3
columns i want to get only all Column names from all table as single Resultset not any data from that how can i get that empty resultset
because this empty result i want to bind in datagridview(front end) as Empty resultset
Please tell me anyways to do this
Niraj Sevalkar

If I understand you want an empty result set, just with metadata. SET FMTONLY do the trick:
SET FMTONLY ON
SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3, ....., Coln
FROM
T1 CROSS JOIN T2 CROSS JOIN T3
SET FMTONLY OFF
Another alternative is to include an imposible contition
SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3, ....., Coln
FROM
T1 CROSS JOIN T2 CROSS JOIN T3
WHERE 1 = 0
If you are using a SqlDataAdapter in your client application. You can use the FillSchema method. the select command may be any select statement that returns the columns you want. Under the covers FillSchema will call SET FMTONLY ON.
If you are using SqlCommand.ExecuteReader you can pass SchemaOnly to CommandBehavior argument. SET FMTONLY ON is called under the covers. Again the select command may be any select statement that returns the columns you want.

Getting Column names from SQL report

I have a SQL report as follows:
select ename, dept, manager
from emp;
I need to be able to dynamically access the column names being displayed inside APEX so I can use in a List of Values. I can't use all_tab_columns. Is there an internal APEX table/view that I can accxess that will give me all of the columns that are eing displayed in a SQL report?

Hi Bob,
Try this -
1) Give your report region a static id
2) Use the following query -
select
heading d,
column_alias r
from
apex_application_page_rpt_cols
where region_id = 'FOO';Obviously change 'FOO' to match your region id, and look at the different columns available in the apex_application_page_rpt_cols view to see what best suits you.
The APEX dictionary rocks ;)
Hope this helps,
John.

How to pull only column names from a SELECT query without running it

How to pull only column names from a SELECT statement without executing it? It seems there is getMetaData() in Java to pull the column names while sql is being prepared and before it gets executed. I need to get the columns whether we run the sql or not.

Maybe something like this is what you are looking for or at least will give you some ideas.
        public static DataSet MaterializeDataSet(string _connectionString, string _sqlSelect, bool _returnProviderSpecificTypes, bool _includeSchema, bool _fillTable)

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.

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.

Query the column names from Public database links

Greetings,
I would like to retrieve the list of all the column names from a public database link. A regular ALL_TAB_COLUMNS doesn't seem to be working.
Thanks
John9569

Hi,
I think your DBA needed to create a synonym for you to have access of that remote database view.
CREATE SYNONYM synonym_name
FOR view_name@db_link;Then you can find the column names by
DESC synonym_nameGuru's , please correct me If I am wrong.
Thanks

How to Select data using same column name from 3 remote database

Hi,
Can anyone help me on how to get data with same column names from 3 remote database and a single alias.
Ex.
SELECT *
a.name, b.status, SUM(b.qty) qantity, MAX(b.date) date_as_of
FROM
*((table1@remotedatabase1, table1@remotedatabase2, table1@remotedatabase3)a,*
*(table1@remotedatabase1, table1@remotedatabase2, table1@remotedatabase3)b)*
WHERE b.dept = 'finance'
AND a.position = 'admin'
AND a.latest = 'Y' AND (b.status <> 'TRM') AND b.qty > 0;
GROUP BY a.name, b.status ;
NOTE: the bold statements is just an example of what I want to do but I always gets an error beacause of ambiguous columns.
Thanks in advnce. :)

Each object must be uniquely identified. So you cannot do this:
select * from (table1@remotedatabase1, table1@remotedatabase2, table1@remotedatabase3) a3 objects cannot share the same alias. Example:
SQL> select * from (dual, dual) d;
select * from (dual, dual) d
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesisYou need to combine the objects - using a join or union or similar. So it will need to be done as follows:
SQL> select * from (select * from dual d1, dual d2) d;
select * from (select * from dual d1, dual d2) d
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00918: column ambiguously definedHowever, we need to have unique column names in a SQL projection - so the join of the tables need to project a unique set of columns. Thus:
SQL> select * from (select d1.dummy as dummy1, d2.dummy as dummy2 from dual d1, dual d2) d;
DUM DUM
X X
SQL> I suggest that you look closely at what scope is and how it applies in the SQL language - and ignore whether the objects referenced are local or remote as it has no impact to fundamentals of scope resolution.

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,

BLZ char(8) NOT NULL,

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

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 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
Susie
