Adding DW column dynamically

Hi All,
Would like to add a few columns at run time, the DW already has a set of columns with data which would need to be intact.
The columns thus added would get data through code.
Searched the similar posts, still to get a practical solution.
Can any one please help me to spot some topic in this line?
Thanks

Hi Franklin;
Method#1:
Have a look at the DW Control / DataStore's "Modify" command. You can use a CREATE statement within that to add any number of columns you want at run time. For example ...
DC.Modify("create column( id=<an integer> tabsequence=<an integer> accelerator='<a single letter>' ...'" )
Tip: use the DWSyntax utility to build the syntax for the Modify/Create
Method#2:
Have a look at the Syntax from SQL command to add DWO columns at run time as another alternative. For example ...
String ERRORS
String sql_syntax
string presentation_str
String dwsyntax_str
sql_syntax = "SELECT emp_id, emp_name "
IF Extra_Required = TRUE THEN
sql_syntax += ", emp_salary, emp_phone "
END IF
sql_syntax += " FROM emp_data WHERE emp_data.emp_salary > 45000"
presentation_str = "style(type=grid)"
dwsyntax_str = SQLCA.SyntaxFromSQL(sql_syntax, presentation_str, ERRORS)
dw_1.Create( dwsyntax_str, ERRORS)
HTH

Adding the columns dynamically in crystal report

Hi,
I am developing a application using asp.net and crystal report. In a report the column is created dynamically( ie, the report gets input from a sp which returns N no. of columns). Since i dont know the column name and no. of columns at design time i am not able to create the report. If any of you have any idea on adding the columns dynamically please send me the code or the link.
Thanks

Adding column dynamically

Hi all
I have a requirement of adding the columns to a Classic Table at run time.. the number of columns are not fixed. the number of The data in there columns will be dispaled from the view initialized at run time.
I tried searching out threads on adding column dynamically but didtn get one..
pls help me out ..
naveen

Of course you can add columns dynamically, but this always needs to be from the same VO, a OA table cannot be based on more than one VO.
So if it all the columns are from the same VO, why take the pain of adding and removing columns, why not just either render it or hide it.
Thanks

You cannot add columns dynamically. But you can define a maximum number of numbers and then hide unused columns in your form useing SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(..,VISIBLE, PROPERTY_FALSE);

Hi Developer life,
According to your description that you want to dynamically increase and decrease the numbers of the columns in the table, right?
As Jason A Long mentioned that we can use the matrix to do this and put the year field in the column group, amount fields(Numric values) in the details, add an filter to filter the data base on this column group, but if
the data in the DB not suitable to add to the matrix directly, you can use the unpivot function to turn the column name of year to a single row and then you can add it in the column group.
If there are too many columns in the column group, it will fit the page size automatically and display the extra columns in the next page.

Header description of dynamic data columns dynamically

Hi all,
How is it possible to get Header description of dynamic data columns dynamically??
Thanks and regards,
Harry

Harry,
Don't have the system right now so going by memory.
There are 2 parts - you need to see how you specified the text replacement of the variable. Say on 0fiscper if you specify characteristic value it would show I think 001.2007, 002.2007, etc. If you use one of the text types, it would be based on the description.
I always have to think if I need to put the infoobject name or the variable name in the layout definition in the description part. Off the top of my mind, it would be the infoobject name i.e. 0fiscper for example

How to add get the field name for a newly added site column.

I have the following:-
Enterprise wiki site collection inside SharePoint server 2013.
I added a new site column of type managed metadata.
I opened the enterprisewiki.aspx page layout using the SP designer, to add the newly added site column to it.
But I have noted that to add any site column I need to know the field name , for example the default wiki category column is referenced inside the page layout as follow:-
<Taxonomy:TaxonomyFieldControl FieldName="Wiki_x0020_Page_x0020_Categories" EmptyValueDescriptionForTargetTemplate="<%$Resources:cms,enterwiki_nocategories_assigned%>" DisableInputFieldLabel="true" runat="server"/>
<b>
So my question is how I can know the field name for my newly added site column?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards

Hi,
The “FieldName” should be the internal name of the column, you will find it at the address bar at the “Site Columns”->”Edit Column” page:

Adding new column to production database

I have to add a new timestamp column, that defaults to the current date/time, to an existing production database. The table is large - 150M records. I am trying to understand the ramifications of adding a new column to a table this large that gets hit often, mostly with inserts and reads. The column does allow null values and I am not going back and populating existing records with a value. Basically, I am looking for some best practice guidelines - how to prepare, what to expect, what other processes should be followed along with this schema update.

Radiators wrote:
Thanks, I have not found any %TYPE or %ROWTYPE dependencies on the table I am altering. But at the same time I do not understand how these types of dependencies would invalidate packages. I wouldn't be breaking any %TYPE dependency because I am not dropping columns, only adding a new one. And according to documentation for %ROWTYPE - "If columns are later added to or dropped from the table, your code can keep working without changes." Can you point me to Oracle documentation that describes your concern in detail? Thanks.you can test it yourself

How to create table columns dynamically ?

Hi All,
I am working on an SSRS report that will show sales in the past 5 years. If the user selected to view sales of past 3 years he will only see 3 columns. so How can I create table columns dynamically at run time and how can I make sure that their dimensions
will adjust to fit the report page size.

Errors processing after adding Computed Column to Time.

Errors in the high-level relational engine. The 'Time' table is based on a named query, and contains one or more computed columns. A table based on a named query cannot contain computed columns. If the computed columns are necessary, add them to the query
expression.
Help me, pls! Thanks!

Hi CUONGNV0207,
According to your description, you get this error when processing cube. Right?
As the error message mentioned, a table based on a named query cannot contain computed columns. If you create a computed column in this table, it will throw this error. In this scenario, please go to the DSV and check if that table is set up with named query.
You can replace it with a DimTable in your database.

Sorting columns dynamically using Presentation Variables

Hi,
I have 4 measures say A,B,C,D , a period dimension and branch name dimension. I would like to select the measure in the prompt and the result should display rank for the selected measure using presentation variables. For eg: If measure-A is selected, the result should be arranged in order by based on "A".
Is it possible to sort the columns dynamically?
Kindly help me.
Regards,
RB

Hi RB,
You can do that, though it's a bit more complicated than a simple SQL statement. For example:
WITH BASEDATA AS (
SELECT
EMPNO,
ENAME,
MGR,
SAL,
COMM,
CASE WHEN :P4_SORT_ORDER = 1 THEN
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY UPPER(ENAME))
WHEN :P4_SORT_ORDER = 2 THEN
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NVL(MIN(UPPER(E2.ENAME)),'-Select-') FROM EMP E2 WHERE E2.EMPNO = EMP.MGR))
WHEN :P4_SORT_ORDER = 3 THEN
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NVL(MIN(UPPER(E2.ENAME)),'-Select-') FROM EMP E2 WHERE E2.EMPNO = EMP.MGR), UPPER(ENAME))
WHEN :P4_SORT_ORDER = 4 THEN
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY UPPER(ENAME) DESC)
WHEN :P4_SORT_ORDER = 5 THEN
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NVL(MIN(UPPER(E2.ENAME)),'-Select-') FROM EMP E2 WHERE E2.EMPNO = EMP.MGR) DESC)
WHEN :P4_SORT_ORDER = 6 THEN
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NVL(MIN(UPPER(E2.ENAME)),'-Select-') FROM EMP E2 WHERE E2.EMPNO = EMP.MGR) DESC, UPPER(ENAME) DESC)
END SORTITEM,
'O' STATUS
FROM
EMP
SELECT
EMPNO,
ENAME,
MGR,
SAL,
COMM
FROM
BASEDATA
ORDER BY
SORTITEMUsing a CASE statement this assigns a ROW_NUMBER to every record based on its ordering within the selected ORDER BY clause. The output is then sorted by this value.

Adding nuew column to Oracle Projects Workplan Gantt

Hi all,
I need help in adding a column to the gantt table in the workplan tab on Oracle Projects module. I need to add a description column near task-number column.
I've followed the standard personalization procedure: Personalize page, select the table region, add item (MessageStyledText), rendered=true.
No matter the view instance/view attribute i assign to it, but I can't see the column on the table.
If I return in the page-personalization I see that the column has been added, but I continue not seeing it on the gantt table......
Do you know, what can I do?
Thanks,
