Avoiding WITH clause when querying Multiple Facts

OBIEE 10.1.3.4
We have a report which requires that we query multiple facts, which share the same Item dimension.
When we run the report, the BI Server generates a query using the WITH clause -
WITH SAWITH0 ( SELECT.............)
SAWITH1( SELECT .............)
SELECT .........
FROM SAWITH0 FULL OUTER JOIN SAWITH1
The above query errors out with ORA-918 Column Ambiguously Defined. I cannot find any issue in the query that has been generated.
The query does fail from SQL Plus with the same ORA error. But each of the select statements executed properly and the complete statement executes when I replace the FULL OUTER JOIN with INNER JOIN.
I can only assume that this is a bug in Oracle Database.
Now at times I have seen OBIEE generate separate queries when querying multiple facts and then combine the data together in memory.
Is there a way that I can force OBIEE to avoid using WITH clause and run separate SELECT statements ? How does the BI Server choose between using a WITH clause or running separate queries ?
Any help would be appreciated.

I do not have a multi-dimensional data source.
My connection pool seems fine to me, I am not sure I need to do anything with the connection pool.
Hi Turribeach,
I understand that BI Server uses WITH clause for multiple facts. But I have also seen it issue separate queries against the database.
So what I am looking to understand under what situation does it issue separate queries i.e. No WITH clause ?
Thanks

To diagnose this we need to see the data. One quick try would be to using NOCYCLE in your CONNECT BY clause.

How do I avoid ORA-01473 when querying hierarchial on tables with VPD predicates

My question is how to circumvent what seems to be a limitation i ORACLE, if at all possible. Please read on.
When using VPD (Virtual Private Database) predictaes on a table and performing a hierarchial query on that table I get the following error message:
ORA-01473: cannot have subqueries in CONNECT BY CLAUSE
My query may look like the folwing:
SELECT FIELD
FROM TABLE
START WITH ID = 1
CONNECT BY PRIOR ID = PARENT
As my predicate contains a query in it self, I suspect that the implicit augmentation of the predicate results in a query that looks like:
SELECT FIELD
FROM TABLE
START WITH ID = 1
CONNECT BY PRIOR ID = PARENT
AND OWNER IN (SELECT OWNER FROM TABLE2 WHERE ...)
at least, when executing a query like the one above (with the explicit predicate) I get the identical error message.
So my question is:
Do you know of any way to force the predicate to augment itslef onto the WHERE-clause? I would be perfectly happy with a query that looks like:
SELECT FIELD
FROM TABLE
START WITH ID = 1
CONNECT BY PRIOR ID = PARENT
WHERE OWNER IN (SELECT OWNER FROM TABLE2 WHERE ...)
or do you know of any fix/patch/release to ORACLE that allows you to include subqueries in the CONNECT BY-clause and eliminates the error message?

The WHERE clause or AND clause applies to the line directly above it. Please see the examples of valid and invalid queries below, which differ only in the placement of the WHERE or AND clause. If this is not sufficient, please provide some sample data and desired output to clarify what you need.

How do I stop IN CLAUSE when query a hierarchy of object.

I have a base class which is annotated with
@Entity(name="UdmHierarchyObject")
@Table(name="UDM_HIERARCHIES")
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.SINGLE_TABLE)
public class UdmHierarchyObject ...
I have a single table hierarchy of objects which use the following annotation:
@Entity(name="Lookup")
@DiscriminatorValue(value="Lookup")
public class Lookup extends UdmHierarchyObject ....
Now I may have MANY classes that extend the base and this is were I am worried. When I query, EclipseLink always creates an IN CLAUSE including all the subclassed entities, which I don't really need. And I worry about it's size.
An example query produces the SELECT below.
select l from Lookup l join l.data d
where l.hierarchyObjectName = :name and d.name = 'Code'
order by d.value"
2008-05-28 14:06:31,773 DEBUG [oracle.toplink.sql:135] - ClientSession(22145060)--Connection(23069842)--
SELECT t1.ID, t1.JPA_DISC, t1.OBJECT_NAME, t1.OBJECT_TYPE, t1.UPDATED_ON, t2.ID, t2.HIERARCHY_NAME, t2.PARENT_ID, t2.REFERENCE_ID FROM UDM_DATA t0, UDM_HIERARCHIES t2, UDM_OBJECTS t1 WHERE (((((t2.HIERARCHY_NAME = ?) AND (t0.DATA_NAME = ?)) AND (t2.ID = t1.ID)) AND (t1.JPA_DISC IN (?, ?))) AND (t0.OWNER_ID = t1.ID)) ORDER BY t0.DATA_VALUE ASC
bind => [StateCode, Code, Lookup, EventTypeCode]
The actual query is fine, however I don't always need the t1.JPA_DISC IN (?, ?) part because I am providing sufficient filtering.
Is there a way to suppress this in the query, or should I not be bothered with a large IN CLAUSE?
You comments would be appreciated.

The issue is you are querying a branch class, so only the children of this branch must be filtered. Unless you are noticing real performance issues with the IN, I would not worry about it too much.
Otherwise, you could consider using joined inheritance, or some level in between joined and single table (JPA does not support this, but TopLink does if you customize your descriptors).
You could also customize your TopLink descriptors using a DescriptorCustomizer to change how subclasses are filtered. You would need to set the ClassDescriptor's InheritancePolicy's withAllSubclassesExpression.

Conformed dimension and query multiple fact tables

Hello,
Please if someone can guide me on this requirement.
Requirement - I have a conformed dimension D1 and two fact tables F1 and F2. Both fact tables have many columns so I cannot merge
the two fact tables into one logical table. Currently both these fact tables have logical tables F1 and F2 respectively.
As per design the conformed dimension is a simple logical table in the rpd and not a dimension.
Can someone guide me how should i proceed so that i'll be able to fetch information from both the fact tables?
Edited by: 930542 on Apr 26, 2012 12:28 PM

Hi,
Currently the dimension table is taken as a simple logical table in rpd as it does not have have any levels or hierarchy.
Its a flat dimension. Can you guide me how can I implement a flat dimension in OBIEE? Because this dimension is taken as simple logical table
I am not able to set appropriate level for fac tables. This dimension does not appear in the list of dimensions.

The error actually has nothing to do with the WITH clause.
Join conditions (that is, the conditions following the ON keyword) must be expressions that evaluate to TRUE or FALSE. The join condition you posted, however
(R.ITERATION+1) + B.NUM
evaluates to a NUMBER. The following would be a valid join condition:
(R.ITERATION+1) = B.NUM
but I have no idea if that's what you wanted or not.

'Missing select' error for update statement using WITH clause

Hi,
I am getting the below error for update statement using WITH clause
SQL Error: ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword
UPDATE A
set A.col1 = 'val1'
 where
A.col2 IN (
WITH D AS
SELECT col2 FROM
(SELECT col2, MIN(datecol) col3 FROM DS
WHERE <conditions>
 GROUP BY PATIENT) D2
WHERE
<conditions on A.col4 and D2.col3>

Hi,
The format of a query using WITH is:
WITH d AS
 SELECT ... -- sub_query
SELECT ... -- main query
You don't have a main query. The keyword FROM has to come immediately after the right ')' that ends the last WITH clause sub-query.
That explains the problem based on what you posted. I can't tell if the real problem is in the conditions that you didn't post.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a complete test script that people can run to re-create the problem and test their ideas. Include a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
In the case of a DML operation (such as UPDATE) the sample data should show what the tables are like before the DML, and the results will be the contents of the changed table(s) after the DML.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).

Firefox 25.0.1 Warn when closing multiple tabs (on) conflicts with "show windows und tabs from last time" (on); need both, but only one or the other works.

Using Firefox 25.0.1 on Windows 7 Home Premium
I've poured through support forums for Mozilla Firefox searching for a fix to my initial problem of the "Warn when closing multiple tabs" pop up not popping up when I have it selected.
Went through About:Config, making sure warnings for tabs und closing, und showing on quit, und quitting, etc. were all set to true, which were "possible" fixes for the issue I was having, there are like five or six things set to true for warnings/quitting/etc. No avail. They are all set to true.
Then I stumbled across one that suggested a conflict with the "Warn When Closing Multiple Tabs" und the "Show Windows und Tabs from last time".
I use both features. However, I found if I want the warning pop up for closing multiple tabs, I have to have "show homepage" or "show blank page" selected instead of "Show windows und tabs from last time" selected. (Tools>Options>General>Start Up>When Firefox Starts:) The problem with this is, yes, I get my warning pop up, BUT, I don't get my tabs from my last session.
The warning in settings (Tools>Options>Tabs>Warn Me When Closing Multiple Tabs) is checked.
To have my tabs restored from last session, I simply select it for "when firefox starts". Bam, I have my tabs that were open from the last time I quit. Und again, full circle, I don't have my warning pop up.
There were also suggestions of the warning on close for tabs is conflicting with add-ons.
However, I don't have many. Und I have yet to test them to see if they interfere. These are according to my Add Ons tab when I check it myself.

Unsure of what the "5.1.20913.0" und the "NPWLPG" plugins are, but they don't appear to me under Add Ons.
Und as usual, I'm assuming the solution lies within About:Config, I will show here now what I have set to True.
browser.tabs.warnOnClose - True
browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs - True
browser.tabs.warnOnOpen - True
browser.warnOnQuit - True
browser.showQuitWarning - True
As aforementioned:
The seemingly only issue is the conflict between Show Windows/Tabs From Last Time und the Warn On Quit pop up. Und again, I need/want both of them. More so the tabs from the last session, but I really really really really really want the warning.
So, if anyone knows a work around, preferably without having to download anything to fix this, I would be extremely grateful.

You mention a second subject.
''I'm probably going to downgrade to another version of firefox that was suggested to me since I'm also having issues with shockwave flash causing firefox to hang und ultimately needs to be force closed otherwise having to have flash disabled to use firefox.''
Downgrading Firefox 
Flash is notorious for causing Firefox problems. I suggest you start a new thread about that. If at all possible you should try to avoid downgrading to an unsecure & unsupported version of Firefox. it will increase risks to your system and Personal data. (There are methods of mitigating the risks, using a virtual machine or operating within a secure intranet for instance)
*(Do Not) [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
Try Flash with Protected Mode Off 
Worth a try as it takes minimal effort & often solves Flash Problems whilst allowing current and more secure FlashPlayer to be used. See

I sometimes wonder if users are not trying to use that, or whether forum users run into problems in using it. At one point I wondered whether there was a problem if too much data was included but never actually proved that conjecture.

WITH Clause query doesn't work in Oracle Reports.

Hi Gurus,
I'm using a WITH clause query and need to build a report using the same query.
But when i'm trying to build a report, query is giving error as "WITH clause table or view doesn't exists".
But the same query perfectly works in sql prompt.
Oracle Reports doesn't supports WITH clause query?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Onkar

I ran into a similar problem before and worked around it by moving the query to a pipelined function in the database as described at WITH clause unexpectedly causes ORA-00942 in Reports Builder
Hope this helps.

How to use "with clause query" in DBadapter

Hi all,
I need to implement a "with clause" query in oracle soa 11g bpel. When i put the query in db adapter in pure sql, the schema is not getting generated properly. Can any one suggest a solution to my problem.
Regards,
Kaushik

Pure SQL won't work because it is expecting the first word in the SQL to be SELECT (or INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE).
If your query is WITH ... SELECT ...
try this:
delete everything before SELECT. Copy and paste the generated XSD to another window. The SQL test may fail, but that will just mean that it couldn't fill in the types of the columns in the SELECT ... FROM list. You can always do that yourself by hand editing the XSD (including in the wizard before you hit next). Then put back the WITH ... clause before the remaining SELECT .... If the XSD gets overwritten, copy the version you saved in the other window and paste it over top. Then hit next and the runtime should still work.
Keep in mind that SQL is very complex and hard to fully parse in the UI. However the minimum information the DbAdapter needs is quite limited; basically just the name and number of columns that are coming back. The XSD is meant to be editable in the wizard if the SQL is too complex.
Thanks

Query can't include an "ORDER BY" clause when having column heading sorting

I'm getting the following error when I try to include "ORDER BY" in my sql statement :
"Your query can't include an "ORDER BY" clause when having column heading sorting enabled"
I have used other sql statements with "ORDER BY" but this is the first time I have come across this and I don't understand why it's going wrong. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I could fix it? Here is one of the sql statements which I have tried which is giving me the error:
select "ID_NUMBER",
"PROJECT_NAME",
"PROJECT_TYPE",
"OWNER",
"PRIORITY",
"STATUS",
"END_DATE",
"COMMENTS"
from "PROJECT"
WHERE "STATUS" != 'Completed' AND "STATUS" != 'Cancelled'
ORDER BY "END_DATE"

Ed.

You must deselect column heading sorting that is in the page "Report Attributes" .This is a check box placed on the same line of the element of the report.

ORA-32036 unsupported case for inlining of query name in WITH clause

I have a query with a WITH clause. In the WITH clause I am using the TABLE command to pull multiple records from a PL/SQL function in the FROM clause:
WITH select_a AS
(select x.col1,
x.col2
from A,
TABLE(schema1.function1) x
where ...)
select ...
from ...;
The query is returning 32036 oracle error. Any thoughts on why I get this error? Is it valid to use the TABLE command with a function in the WITH clause?

Is it valid to use the TABLE command with a function in the WITH clause?Something else must be going on: Even on my old 9i I can use WITH together with TABLE:
SQL> select * from v$version where rownum = 1

1 row selected.
SQL> create or replace function f1 (deptno int) return sys.dbms_debug_vc2coll

end;
Function created.

Joins with multiple fact tables

Hi Experts,
i have one doubt in joins
we have two dimensions D1 and D2,
D1 is having A1 and A2 columns
D2 is having B1 and B2 columns
two facts F1 and F2 these are joined like D1 to F1 D1 to F2 and D2 to F1, D2 to F2
D1----->F1
D1------>F2
D2-------->F1
D2-------->F2
if i selected A1 and B1 in a request from which FACT table will get the data and why can you please explain
please help me
reg,

Hi All,
I have a similar requirement where I have 4 multiple fact tables and we can't combine all those facts into one single fact table. In that case how can a query work with multiple common and uncommon dimensions and measures from multiple fact tables, if it doesn't work that way - can you please explain how can we expect a query to work with multiple fact tables.
For eg: D1– Dim
D2 – Dim
D3 – Dim
D4 – Dim
F1 –Fact
F2 – Fact
F3 – Fact
D1 -> F1
D2 -> F1,F2
D3 -> F2
D4 -> F1, F3
In this case if we want to query from D1,D2,D3, F1, F2 or D1,D2,D3,D4,F1,F2,F3. Kindly please explain how it can be modeled in BMM or what are the limitations. I have done with two fact tables in past and didn't had issues but this is kind of a vast implementation. Your help is appreciated.
