ALV grid display with more than 1000 columns

Hi Friends,
I have to prepare a report output which have 1015 columns.
User will give 100 weeks of data to retrieve. I have to display the output in day wise.
100*7 + 315 = 1015 columns.
I am using ALV grid display for this in 4.6C.
My Question is, whether I have to declare the output table type with 1015 fields.?
Is there any other way to do this, without declaring 1015 cloumns.
Please guide me to solve this.
Regards,
Viji.

Table with more than 1000 columns

I need to store data from an equipment that logs 1500 parameters every minute. The natural approach would be to create a table where the first column stores the timestamp and the remaining columns the values sampled:
CREATE TABLE parameters (
sample_date date,
param1 float,
param2 float,
param1500 float
However, since there is a limitation of "just" 1000 coluns in Oracle, the table was designed as follows:
CREATE TABLE parameters (
sample_date date,
param_id number(4),
value float
An auxiliar table stores the valid parameters and their ids.
This works fine to store information, however it is very difficult to select data in a natural way.
There are situations where we just need to make a report using a few columns out of the 1500 available. Is it possible to create a view that would make the way we designed the table transparent? Let's say we just need to make a report using params 1,2 and 4. How can we create a view that would return all parameters of a sample in a single row:
sample_date param1 param2 param4
just as if we had the parameters stored in individual columns?
Marco

Not a very efficient and space friendly design to do name-value pairs like that.
Other methods to consider is splitting those 1500 parameters up into groupings of similar parameters, and then have a table per group.
Another option would be to use "vertical table partitioning" (as oppose to the more standard horizontal partitionining provided by the Oracle partition option) - this can be achieved (kind of) in Oracle using clusters.
Sooner or later this name-value design is going to bite you hard. It has 1500 rows where there should be only 1 row. It is not scalable.. and as you're discovering, it is unnatural to use. I would rather change that table and design sooner than later.

Table with more than 35 columns

Hello All.
How can one work with a table with more than 35 columns
on JDev 9.0.3.3?
My other question is related to this.
Setting Entities's Beans properties from a Session Bean
bought up the error, but when setting from inside the EJB,
the bug stays clear.
Is this right?
Thank you

Thank you all for reply.
Here's my problem:
I have an AS400/DB2 Database, a huge and an old one.
There is many COBOL Programs used to communicate with this DB.
My project is to transfer the database with the same structure and the same contents to a Linux/ORACLE System.
I will not remake the COBOL Programs. I will use the existing one on the Linux System.
So the tables of the new DB should be the same as the old one.
That’s why I can not make a relational DB. I have to make an exact migration.
Unfortunately I have some tables with more than 5000 COLUMNS.
Now my question is:
can I modify the parameters of the ORACE DB to make it accept Tables and Views with more than 1000 columns, If not, is it possible to make a PL/SQL Function that simulate a table, this function will insert/update/select data from many other small tables (<1000 columns). I want to say a method that make the ORACLE DB acting like if it has a table with a huge number of columns;
I know it's crazy but any idea please.

ORA-24335 - cannot support more than 1000 columns - How to solve this?

Hi,
I got error message 'ORA-24335 - cannot support more than 1000 columns ' when i try to insert x no of rows for a table with following code:
INSERT ALL
INTO tableA Values ('A', 'B', 'C', 1, 2, 3)
INTO tableA Values ('D', 'E', 'F', 4, 5, 6)
INTO tableA Values ('G', 'H', 'I', 7, 8, 9)
SELECT *
FROM DUAL
How to solve above?
What does it really mean? It's not as easy as if my table has 10 columns than I can't insert more than 100 rows (1000 columns divided with 10 columns = maximun 100 rows to insert), or?
Is there a better/more appropriate way to do insert many rows?
Should I do my inserts with an OracleTransaction (My application is developed with C# and asp.net), as ~follows
BEGIN
INSERT INTO tableA Values ('A', 'B', 'C', 1, 2, 3)
INSERT INTO tableA Values ('D', 'E', 'F', 4, 5, 6)
INSERT INTO tableA Values ('G', 'H', 'I', 7, 8, 9)
COMMIT
END
Thx in advance!

Hi,
So how did you solve the problem? Can you please give an example?
I have the same problem inserting over 1000 values into my Oracle DB. The table only has 51 columns but to speed up the insert command, I use bulk inserts via insert all command. I need to insert 100 rows at a time for a total of 5100 values.
Example:
SQLCmd = INSERT ALL INTO MYTABLE (VAL_ID,VAL_NAME,VAL_NUM,VAL_TIME,VAL_CMM,VAL_TIME1,VAL_TRIP,VAL_REMAINING,VAL_AGE,VAL_COUNT,VAL_RSTS,VAL_VOLT,VAL_RF,VAL_DC,VAL_HOPS,VAL_STATUS,VAL_ELAPSED,MODIFY_TIME) VALUES (?,?,?,TO_DATE(?,?),?,TO_DATE(?,?),?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,SYSTIMESTAMP)
INTO MYTABLE (VAL_ID,VAL_NAME,VAL_NUM,VAL_TIME,VAL_CMM,VAL_TIME1,VAL_TRIP,VAL_REMAINING,VAL_AGE,VAL_COUNT,VAL_RSTS,VAL_VOLT,VAL_RF,VAL_DC,VAL_HOPS,VAL_STATUS,VAL_ELAPSED,MODIFY_TIME) VALUES (?,?,?,TO_DATE(?,?),?,TO_DATE(?,?),?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,SYSTIMESTAMP)
INTO MYTABLE (VAL_ID,VAL_NAME,VAL_NUM,VAL_TIME,VAL_CMM,VAL_TIME1,VAL_TRIP,VAL_REMAINING,VAL_AGE,VAL_COUNT,VAL_RSTS,VAL_VOLT,VAL_RF,VAL_DC,VAL_HOPS,VAL_STATUS,VAL_ELAPSED,MODIFY_TIME) VALUES (?,?,?,TO_DATE(?,?),?,TO_DATE(?,?),?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,SYSTIMESTAMP)
INTO MYTABLE (VAL_ID,VAL_NAME,VAL_NUM,VAL_TIME,VAL_CMM,VAL_TIME1,VAL_TRIP,VAL_REMAINING,VAL_AGE,VAL_COUNT,VAL_RSTS,VAL_VOLT,VAL_RF,VAL_DC,VAL_HOPS,VAL_STATUS,VAL_ELAPSED,MODIFY_TIME) VALUES (?,?,?,TO_DATE(?,?),?,TO_DATE(?,?),?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,SYSTIMESTAMP)

Then I call: &DBInsert($sqlCmd, @sqlVals);
This is the error I get: ORA-24335: cannot support more than 1000 columns.
I need to insert about 879,500 rows (51 cols per row). The values I read from a text file in sets of about 48,000 and put them into a hash. I tried inserting one row at a time, but it takes too long, about 28 hrs! Then, I tried the bulk update with only 6 rows and the total time was about 25 minutes. Which is acceptable to us.
Thanks!

Row chaining in table with more than 255 columns

Hi,
I have a table with 1000 columns.
I saw the following citation: "Any table with more then 255 columns will have chained
rows (we break really wide tables up)."
If I insert a row populated with only the first 3 columns (the others are null), is a row chaining occurred?
I tried to insert a row described above and no row chaining occurred.
As I understand, a row chaining occurs in a table with 1000 columns only when the populated data increases
the block size OR when more than 255 columns are populated. Am I right?
Thanks

dyahavYesterday, I stated this on the forum "Tables with more than 255 columns will always have chained rows." My statement needs clarification. It was based on the following:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28318/schema.htm#i4383
"Oracle Database can only store 255 columns in a row piece. Thus, if you insert a row into a table that has 1000 columns, then the database creates 4 row pieces, typically chained over multiple blocks."
And this paraphrase from "Practical Oracle 8i":
V$SYSSTAT will show increasing values for CONTINUED ROW FETCH as table rows are read for tables containing more than 255 columns.
Related information may also be found here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96524/c11schem.htm
"When a table has more than 255 columns, rows that have data after the 255th column are likely to be chained within the same block. This is called intra-block chaining. A chained row's pieces are chained together using the rowids of the pieces. With intra-block chaining, users receive all the data in the same block. If the row fits in the block, users do not see an effect in I/O performance, because no extra I/O operation is required to retrieve the rest of the row."
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B14340_01/data.htm
"For a table with several columns, the key question to consider is the (average) row length, not the number of columns. Having more than 255 columns in a table built with a smaller block size typically results in intrablock chaining.
Oracle stores multiple row pieces in the same block, but the overhead to maintain the column information is minimal as long as all row pieces fit in a single data block. If the rows don't fit in a single data block, you may consider using a larger database block size (or use multiple block sizes in the same database). "
Why not a test case?
Create a test table named T4 with 1000 columns.
With the table created, insert 1,000 rows into the table, populating the first 257 columns each with a random 3 byte string which should result in an average row length of about 771 bytes.

Title above ALV grid is having more than 70 chars.

Hi friends ,
I have a requirement in which title above ALV grid is having more than 70 chars.
But the layout structure of ALV (slis_layout_alv) is having a component called wiindow_title which is having maximum length of 70 chars. How to show the text having more than 70 chars over here ?

Hello Abhijit,
Its not possible to display more than 70 characters in ALV Title. May be you can try using Top of page and ALV list commentary write.

Is there a way to open CSV files with more than 255 columns?

I have a CSV file with more than 255 columns of data. It's a fairly standard export of social media data that shows volume of posts by day for the past year, from which I can analyze the data and publish customized charts. Very easy in Excel but I'm hitting the Numbers limit of 255 columns per table. Is there a way to work around the limitation? Perhaps splitting the CSV in two? The data shows up in the CSV file when I open via TextEdit, so it's there. Just can't access it in Numbers. And it's not very usable/useful for me in TextEdit.
Regards,
Tim

You might be better off with Excel. Even if you could find a way to easily split the CSV file into two tables, it would be two tables when you want only one. You said you want to make charts from this data. While a series on a chart can be constructed from data in two different tables, to do so takes a few extra steps for each series on the chart.
For a test to see if you want to proceed, make two small tables with data spanning the tables and make a chart from that data. Make the chart the normal way using the data in the first table then repeat the following steps for each series
Select the series in the chart
Go to Format sidebar
Click in the "Value" box
Add a comma then select the data for this series from the second chart
Press Return
If there is an easier way to do this, maybe someone else will chime in with that info.

Report with more than 30 columns

XML Pub Gurus,
I have a requirement where I need to create a table layout with proper spacing for more than 30 columns and I asked this question in Open World XML Pub team and they responded to my question as "The page size in word has to be increased to allow to add those many columns". I was satisfied with the answer without knowing that Word will not allow more than 22" long in landscape. So, I am puzzled with the answer in Open World.
So, could somebody please give me guide lines to create this type of report for more than 30 Columns. This is very common requirement for us to report some of the stuff from the db.
Thanks in advance
Ram G

What do you want your final destination format to be? I'm thinking you'll probably want to go out to HTML or Excel. I would think that would be the only place where you could read and use a report with more than 30 columns.
Here's an idea if you want to go to excel and if you are using the 10.1.3.2 Enterprise (standalone) version.
1. Create your query with as many columns as you want.
2. Don't create a layout at all
3. Launch Excel Analyzer.
4. From within Excel, build your report based off the downloaded data (for example add a pivot table).
5. Upload your excel Analyzer template back to the server
This template can now be scheduled and delivered like normal templates or updated with current data directly from within Excel.

Attachment with more than 255 columns

Hi together,
i want to send a mail in background with an attachment with more than 255 columns through the function module SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 . The required content-structure of this function module have 255 columns......
I try it also with the function module SO_DOCUMENT_REPOSITORY_MANAGER with the method 'SEND'
but i can't suppress the popup of this function module.
Have anybody an solution for me ?

Edited by: Markus Garyant on Aug 21, 2008 3:39 PM

Attachement table has a strucutre SOLISTI1 which can contain only 255 characters BUT you can use the CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF for the new line and CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB for the column separater.
You need to concatenate this Separters in the attachment table.

More than 1000 columns

In which database i can create more than 1000 columns in a table

Hi.
I can´t imagine a problem in the real life where you need such number of columns.
I can´t imagine how you will administer such object.
I think that you don´t know the database normalization concept.
There are a lot of documentation out there about this concept, search in the web "database normalization" and take a minute for reading.

Hi,
Its just a general thought and I realize you know your application and user community better I do, but do you think your users are going to be very happy when they are presented with a report with more than a hundred columns? Have you considered maybe presenting the data in some sort of rolled up form from which the user can then drill down to the data they are particularly interested in. Also, I'm sure your LAN administrator would be happy not to see 100+ column by x number row reports being regularly shipped across the network.
Also, 100+ column reports suggests tables with 100+ columns which are probably not designed in a very relationally compliant way. I find that good DB design usually results in applications that have to make less compromises, such as hacking export files in order to fool the API into making ridiculous, unsupported and unsupportable compromises.
Just a thought..................

Can I create a table with more than 40 columns ?

Hello,
I need to organize my work with a table and need about 66 columns. I am not very good with Numbers but I know a little bit of Pages. I cannot find a way to create a table with more than 40 columns... Is it hopeless ? (Pages '08 v. 3.0.3)
Thank you all

It's never too late to try to teach users that the Search feature is not only for helpers.
The number of columns allowed in Numbers is not a relevant value when the question is about Pages '08 tables.
I tried to copy a 256 columns Numbers table into a Pages '09 document.
I didn't got a table but values separated by TABs.
I tried to convert this text range in a table and got this clear message :
If I remember well, in Pages '08, the limit is 40 columns.

Jaya.

Hi,
U mean to say in a single cell of ALV ??
It is not possible in ALV .. As per OSS note 857823
Below is the reason for same.. I think you should to split in number of columns.
Summary
Symptom
Entries in cells of the type CHAR or string are truncated after 128 characters in the SAP GUI.
Other terms
ALV Grid Control (cl_gui_alv_grid), function module (Full-screen)
Grid (Reuse_alv_grid_display, SAPLSLVC_FULLSCREEN), SAPGUI, back end, front end
Reason and Prerequisites
The data table that is sent to the front end only allows character values with the length 128.
Solution
This is the standard system behavior and cannot be changed.
