Aggregate functions and normal function in SELECT statement

hi
i am using MS Access DataBase ...
i have lot of integer coloumns in my Database
i want to retrieve the coloumn values as well as the min , max and avg of that coloumn
i dont know whether its possible to do in a single statement or not
generally if we retrieve the values of a particular coloum
we say " SELECT length FROM TABLENAME WHERE somecondition"
and then get the values as int len = rs.getInt("length")..... over a loop
but how to retieve the value of an aggregate function?
like if i say "SELECT avg(colname),max(colname),min(colname) FROM TABLENAME WHERE somecondition"
how do i retrieve this value ???
i dont know if its possible or not ....pls help.........

Give names too each column
SELECT avg(colname) average,max(colname) max,....
and then rs.getInt("average")
This works in Oracle and Sybase, not sure on MS access tough

Excel function and ev function not working in static column key

I have created a evdre report and I notice that when I tried to use any excel function and ev functions in the static column key cell to get the value for that cell, it's not working.
e.g I have Col key define as:
ColKeyRange Sheet!&$J$12:$N$14
In K13 which is key id for time. I define is as = $K$10 where K10 is the time value from current view, it not working,the value is still K13 = $K$10. then I tried to use EVCVW function to replace K10, it also not working, but I use the same function in the description of the ID underneath, both of the are working, Any thought?

Hi,
That was exactly what I meant. They just dont work on the green ID areas or the yellow data region. Few days back even I tried that, but didnt work. So, I followed the different approach. I dont remember about the dynamic templates. Are you sure that the functions were written in the green ID region?
I remember this used to work fine in the MS version. However, in the NW version, even I am not able to make them work.

NVL Function and Truncate Function in Template Builder

Hi Guys,
How would I use NVL function and Truncate function in the Word Template Builder.
These functions do not work in the Query Builder when i use SQL Query as the Dataset while creating a report.
I could not find examples in the Publisher Guide either.
Thanks
rkingmdu

Hi
How can you not use the functions in your query? Does the builder return an error? ow about just pasting your query into the report definition does the nvl/trunc work then ?

LINQ Canonical Functions and Oracle Functions

Hello,
I am using EntityFramework (.NET 4) to access a Oracle Database (11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production).
For the most part it is working fine, but now I've stumble into a issue using LINQ Canonical Functions, that aparently are supported (see : Mapping LINQ Canonical Functions and Oracle Functions)
I am running the following expression :
var expirationDuration = 3000;
var record = Context.Table
.Where(x => x.Created.AddMilliseconds(expirationDuration) > DateTime.Now )
.FirstOrDefault();
And im getting a exception :
"LINQ to Entities does not recognize the method 'System.DateTime AddMilliseconds(Double)' method, and this method cannot be translated into a store expression."
Shouldn't AddMilliseconds be translated to (expression) + INTERVAL like the docs mentions?
Thanks for help
Regards,Nuno

Neither ODP.NET nor SQLClient recognizes System.DateTime AddMilliseconds(Double) method as a valid method
I would suggest you use EntityFunctions AddMilliseconds instead.

How to : rownum and order by in select statement

Say I have a select statement with additional 'order by' clause.
The result set I want prepended by the rownum column.
But, and here comes the flaw, I want the rownum for the already ordered result set
not the unordered.
An example:
select firstname, lastname from myTable order by lastname;
When I add the rownum to the select clause,
'select rownum, firstname, lastname from myTable order by lastname;'
I might get something like:
20 Mike Adams
13 Nina Bravo
1 Tom Charlie
But I want the following result:
1 Mike Adams
2 Nina Bravo
3 Tom Charlie
I could now
'Select rownum, lastname, firstname from (select firstname, lastname from myTable order by lastname);
But I guess there is a better way!?!
which is the best way to accomplish that?
Thanks for your advice!

>
'Select rownum, lastname, firstname from (select firstname, lastname from myTable order by lastname)
>
Well if you ask me there is very little difference between this query and the above query
select rownum, lastname, firstname from mytable;Because rownum is assigned before the order by. The difference is in your query you are assigning a rownum to an ordered resultset but still there is no guarantee oracle is going to read the data in an ordered fashion. In the second query rownum is assigned to an unordered resultset. Again it is the samething. So if you want to guarantee it then I will go for the following option
select row_number() over(order by lastname) rn, lastname, firstname from mytable
order by lastnameAlso check this link.

Having trouble with using variables in functions and after functions..

Morning,
I have simplified this, as it represents the core of what’s I obviously don't know how to do.
Problem:
Say I populate that variable by reading in a list if IP addresses from file, finding the line that matches the hostname and place that string into the $IPAddress variable for use later throughout the script.   I did not run into a significant problem
until I decided to convert the routine of looking up the IP address and populating the variable into a function.   As soon as I made it a function, and called that function, the $IPAddress variable only had the data in it until the function completed.
Once the function had done its work, and had placed the data into the variable, I expected that “new” data to be available after the function had completed..in that variable. But it’s like the $IPAddress variable in the main script is a totally
different data then the variable with the same name that’s used within the function.
So I think this demonstrates some of what’s kicking my butt..
$IPAddress = "This is the wrong data”
Function TestFunction ()
$IPAddress #call to display the contents of the variable at the start of the function.
$IPAddress = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter the text ‘Goober’"
$IPAddress   #call to display the contents of the variable at the end of the function.
TestFunction
$IPAddress
The output I get is:
This is the wrong data
"Please enter ‘Goober’" : where I enter Goober
Goober
This is the wrong data
Huh?
I had expected:
This is the wrong data
"Please enter ‘Goober’" : where I enter Goober
Goober
Goober
What good is the repeatability of a function if it’s output is lost?

THis seems to work.. IS there any reason NOT to do this?
$Global:IPAddress= "This is the wrong data” #"
Function TestFunction{
    Write-Host $IPAddress-fore green
      $host.ui.RawUI.FlushInputBuffer()
     $Global:IPAddress =
Read-Host -Prompt
"Please enter the text ‘Goober’"
    return$Global:IPAddress
TestFunction
return$Global:IPAddress

Difference between Shipping function and install function in O2A

Hi,
I am asking this query from domain perspective than from technology. There are two functions in O2A namely install order and shipping function. Can anyone please explain the activities under these function.
1. Engineer takes the equipment to customer premises: Is this install order of ship function?
2. Is shipping function related to supply chain from vendor perspective and not customer perspective.
Please let me know your views. Thanks

According to me the logic might be Shipping and Install functions are mutually exclusive. So The scenario might be like this:-
Shipping Function:-
1. Some shipping company ships the equipment to the customer and that is tracked in CSP's system that customer has received the shipment.
Install function:-
2. Customer would have confirmed some appointment date in CAF form.
3. Field Engineer will then goto the customer premises and then install the equipment.

Group by function with CLOB fields in Select statement

I have the following sql trying to query our database. Removing the Clob field (a.description) I am successful. But I need the Clob field (a.description). Here is my current sql
select a.id_number, a.id_owner, MAX (n.next_action_required)
            KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY n.modified_date),
         MAX (n.modified_date) KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY n.modified_date)
from table1 a, table2 n
where a.id_number = n.id_number
group by a.id_number, a.id_ownerI tried the following which works sometimes but not always because the Clob field (a.description)'s length varies; anywhere from 10 characters up to 12,000 characters. I get some blanks with the following and some where text is cut off. I may not be writing the dbms_lob.substr function correct.
select a.id_number, a.id_owner, MAX (n.next_action_required)
            KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY n.modified_date),
         MAX (n.modified_date) KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY n.modified_date) , DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR (a.description, 8001, 10000)

where a.id_number = n.id_number
group by a.id_number, a.id_owner, DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR (a.description, 8001, 10000)Please help. Thank you,

Maybe,
but throw it away if the combination a.id_number,a.id_owner,n.next_action_required(a.id_number = n.id_number),n.modified_date(a.id_number = n.id_number) is not unique

Using sum function and round function in single text form field

Hi all,
I have a column Name - A . In the rtf template i have summed up the column A and showing it. But the output is coming as 99.9999997. I want to round it to 100.
I tried using <?round(sum(A),2)?> but dint workout.
I also tried using variables. It is also not working.. I used <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,’ABS',sum(A)?> and then i used get variable to get it.... But it throwing error while using sum in the set variable step.
Can anyone please help me..
Thanks
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
Calculate the sum into a Variable. and apply round function on the variable to get the desired value.
Calculating sum:
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'v',xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'v')+DOLLARS)?> (its running sum formula,should be placed inside the table to get sum of all rows of particular column)
here Variable 'v' holds the sum value
apply round function:
<?round(xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'v'))?>
Thanks and Regards,

Output of value returned from function in SELECT statement ??

Hi
I have created the below function
create or replace
FUNCTION jc_test
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS myrec VARCHAR2(270);
BEGIN
SELECT RPAD('*',270,'*')
INTO myrec
FROM DUAL ;
RETURN myrec;
END ;
and I executed the SELECT statement in Oracle SQL developer as a script
select
LENGTH(jc_test()) len
*,jc_test() rec*
from dual ;
I get exact output as below
LEN REC
270 ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
So here LEN is correctly shown as 270 characters but when I see the astrisk's (also appended with spaces ) its total length is 4000 characters
Can anyone give their thoughts on this.
Its fine if I run as normal, i mean not as a script.

Hi,
So here LEN is correctly shown as 270 charactersYes, correct
but when I see the astrisk's (also appended with spaces ) its total length is 4000 charactersNo buts. It is not padded. That is just how it is displayed by your tool. In SQL*Plus this is controlled by LINESIZE and COLUMN

Can you provide your function code? Using a function like that is possible from the below example. I suspect something in your function code.

Your option of running the function on the result via a
cfloop is what I am currently doing... problem is I want to be able
to sort the function result. So with that, what would be the
simplest method?
I will test running an additional query of queries on the
result.
