Alias name for the column name in Prompt
Hi,
I have a scenario where I am taking column names into prompt. I have used the following SQL in the SQL results under "Show" option of the Prompt.
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By OrderDate"' END FROM " Real Time"
UNION ALL
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By ShipDate"' END FROM "Real Time"
My problem here is I am getting the column names into the Prompt as "Orders"."By OrderDate" and "Orders"."By ShipDate", which is not acceptable and readable for mat for the user. Is there any way that I can assign an alias name for the column name such as OrderDate and ShipDate in the above SQL.
Your quick respose is appreciated.
Thanks,
Rama
hi,
try an alternative one....in your administrator make new columns with alias to ones you want...so you wiil be able to show whatever you want.
Otherwise,is it possible to show
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By OrderDate"' as "xxxxxxxxxxxxx"END FROM " Real Time"
UNION ALL
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By ShipDate"' as "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"END FROM "Real Time"
Ending,you want the data from your columns?or just the name??
hope i helped...

Changing the Column names / alias
Hi,
I have an oracle query and it works fine.
select q.sname,
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,10,1,0)) as "0 - 5",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,9,1,0)) as "6 - 10",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,8,1,0)) as "11 - 15",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,7,1,0)) as "16 - 19",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,6,1,0)) as "20 - 20",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,5,1,0)) as "21 - 27",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,4,1,0)) as "28 - 30",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,3,1,0)) as "31 - 40",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,2,1,0)) as "41 - 45",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,1,1,0)) "46 - Over",
COUNT(q.sname) "TOTAL"
from task_core@cds t, cor_queue q, profile_core@crb p
where t.nmboxid = q.nmboxid
and p.ncodaid = t.nobjectid
and p.ntype=2
GROUP BY q.sname
ORDER BY q.sname
It generates a Cross-tab sort of result and I am using the decode function to generate the result.
My problem is that right now I am using hardcoded column names or alias for the columns generated by the decode function. eg. "0-5", "6-10" etc.
I have another table which contains these values ("0-5","6-10"). I would like to know instead of hard coding the column names like
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,10,1,0)) as "0 - 5"
can we retrieve the values from the Other table that contains the values "0-5","6-10" etc and display it there in the decode function?
Pls help me with this issue
Thanks

Dynamically change the column name....
Hi,
I am facing a problem in displaying name of the columns dynamically as a parameter selected from the dashboard prompt.
I have some facts which contains data according to the selected month (From Prompt).
As of now the column names are:
Curr, Next1, Next2, Next3 which displays the data for the months accordingly to the selected month from prompt.
Data is coming correctly but on the report the column name are displayed as Curr, Next1, Next2 and Next3 which I want to be displayed as the month name for which it contains data.
How can I do that? I have tried presentation variables to be used in custom heading but that is only as string.
Thanks in advance !!!

Edited by: S Anand on Nov 20, 2009 2:29 AMMy scenario is little different, let me explain:
My columns will remain same but values changes (based on column formula) according to the selected prompt value
If I select 'Oct' from prompt then
Curr will contain data for 'Oct' only
Next1 will contain data for 'Nov' only
Next2 will contain data for 'Dec' only
Next3 will contain data for 'Jan' of next year only.
Later if I select 'Jul' from prompt then
Curr will contain data for 'Jul' only
Next1 will contain data for 'Aug' only
Next2 will contain data for 'Sep' only
Next3 will contain data for 'Oct' only.
I don't have different columns for each months but the columns are capable to reflect data for any month.
So, how can I reflect the column name as month name for which that contains data.

Oracle 10g - Defining the column name in Non English
Hi Experts,
I have an exisitng application which is developed on Windows using ASP Technology and uses Oracle 10g 10.1.0.2.0.
The application is supported with an instance of Data Base within which multiple tablespaces are created for different clients. The application is developed in such a way that some of the tables arecreated dynamically and the columns are named using the data entered through the UI.
This application needs to be globalized now. The problem is, the column name entered through the UI can be in any language based on the client's settings and those values in turn will be used for naming the columns in the tables.
1) Can I have the column names to be named using non english characters in Oracle 10g DB? If so,
1.1) what should I do to configure the exisiting Oracle instance to support it?
1.2) To what level is that configuration possible, is it per DB instance level (or) can it be done at Tablespace level. I would like to configure each tablespace to host tables with columns defined with different languages, say for example, tablespace 1 will have tables with Japaenese column names and tablespace 2 will have tables with German column names?
2) What should I do to make my entire DB to support unicode data i.e., to accept any language strings. Currently all strings are declared as VarChar2, should I change all VarChar2 to NVarChar2 (or) is there a way to retain the VarChar2 as is and make some database wide setting?
Please note that I do not have an option of retaining the column in English as per the Business Requirement.
