Basing a Data Block on a Select Query

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to create a data block in Forms 6i, based on a from clause query which I give in the Query Data Source Name Property of the data block, but when I run the form the fields are blank and even when I execute the unrestricted query from the forms runtime environment, the fileds are still not populated and FRM-40505 error is given. Am I missing some basic stuff here?
TIA
Hassan

Where do I go to see ALL_UPDATEABLE_COLUMNS? I'm not familar with that. (nevermind, i just spelled the object name wrong in my query)
I think thats the way i'd like to go. But, i think i'll have to use the ON-Insert, ON-Update, etc. trigger method. But, I still can't seem to figure out how to get the view fields "editable" on the form.

How can i update rows in a table based on a match from a select query

Hello
How can i update rows in a table based on a match from a select query fron two other tables with a update using sqlplus ?
Thanks Glenn
table1
attribute1 varchar2 (10)
attribute2 varchar2 (10)
processed varchar2 (10)
table2
attribute1 varchar2 (10)
table3
attribute2 varchar2 (10)
An example:
set table1.processed = "Y"
where (table1.attribute1 = table2.attribute1)
and (table1.attribute2 = table3.attribute2)

Hi,

Hi, Frank
taking nulls into account, what if some attributes are null ;) then the query should look like
NOT TESTED !
update table1 t1
set processed = 'Y'
where exists(select null

where lnnvl(attribute1 != t1.attribute1)
and exists(select null
from table3
where lnnvl(attribute2 != t1.attribute2)
and processed != 'Y'Regards
EtbinYes, you could do that. OP specifically requested something else:
wgdoig wrote:
set table1.processed = "Y"
where (table1.attribute1 = table2.attribute1)
and (table1.attribute2 = table3.attribute2)This WHERE clause won't be TRUE if any of the 4 attribute columns are NULL. It's debatable about what should be done when those columns are NULL.
But there is no argument about what needs to be done when processed is NULL.
OP didn't specifically say that the UPDATEshould or shouldn't be done on rows where processed was already 'Y'. You (quite rightly) introduced a condition that would prevent redo from being generated and triggers from firing unnecessarily; I'm just saying that we have to be careful that the same condition doesn't keep the row from being UPDATEd when it is necessary.

Can I retrieve data from a multiple select query?

I recently have been able to consolidate many queries into one large one, or into large compound queries. I found an instance where I am using a select query in a for loop that may execute up to 400 times. I tried building a huge compound query, and using DB Tools Execute Query vi, followed by the DB Tools Fetch Recordset Data vi. The query executes at the database without an error, but the Fetch Recordset Data vi only returns the first instance. Is there a way to retrieve all the data without having to send up to 400 separate select queries?

Sorry I didn't replt earlier, I was on vacation. The query I am using is to check serial numbers, and determine if they are all valid. The programs purpose is to define a serial number to a pre-existing part number. Our company makes inclinometers and accelerometers, and this entire series of LabVIEW programs is designed to automate the calibration and testing of these units. The part number definitions can contain 3 or 4 hundred parameters, so the database itself consistes of 44 tables with potentially several hundred columns per table. It is designed to not only provide definitions to every part number, but also to store all potential raw unit data to be calculated and formed into a report at any time. The logistics of getting that much data in and out of the database have forced me to do things more effeciently. The actual query in question is to take each serial number either manually entered, or automatically picked, and see if they already exist with the part number they are being defined as. If there are any duplicates, then the program will alert the operator that serial numbers x, y, and z for instance have already been asigned as the part number in question. Currently I run a simple query once for each serial number. This works, but there may be 200 serial numbers assigned. Also the serial numbers can contain upper or lower case letters. By making all the serial number letters into capitals, then into lower case, it could mean up to 400 individual queries going out over the LAN. This is a bandwidth hog, and time consuming. I started experimenting with compound queries. The actual query used is below.
SELECT SERIALNO FROM "maintable" WHERE PARTNO = '475196-001' AND SERIALNO = '3000005';SELECT SERIALNO FROM "maintable" WHERE PARTNO = '475196-001' AND SERIALNO = '3000006';SELECT SERIALNO FROM "maintable" WHERE PARTNO = '475196-001' AND SERIALNO = '3000007';SELECT SERIALNO FROM "maintable" WHERE PARTNO = '475196-001' AND SERIALNO = '3000008';SELECT SERIALNO FROM "maintable" WHERE PARTNO = '475196-001' AND SERIALNO = '3000009'
When I execute this query, SQL Server 2000 has no problem with it, but the DB Tools Fetch Recordset Data vi only returns the first match. I think my answer may lie with OR statements. Rather than sending what amounts to potentially dozens of individual queries, I should be able to chain them into one query with a lot of OR statements. As long as the OR statement is not an exclusive OR statement, I think it should work. I haven't tried it yet, and it may take some time to get the syntax right. The query is built in a for loop with the number of iterations equal to the number of serial numbers being defined. Once I get this working I will alter it to include both upper and lower case letters that can be included in the query. Any suggestiona of how the query should be structured would be most helpful, or another way to achieve what I am trying to accomplish.

How to make reports based on Data block work on web?

I am using form 6i and oracle 9ias
I have successfully call the common reports from the form on the web using run_report_object, then web.show_documnet(..);
But when it come to the reports based on the data block from the form, it doesn't work. it always fetch all the records from the table which the data block is based
Anyone can tell me how to make that work?
thanks

I have successfully do this when I am running forms and >reports in localhostTell me how did you achieve this?
Did you have both Reports and Forms running under same oracle home?
and off course was it a clinet server architecture?
What version for Form and Reports did you use?
Which executables did you use and what was your call from forms? When you call from Forms, which Reports executable use to run the report?
The data integration can only be achive if both the product were running under same Oracle home and were in client server architecture. I do not think data integration is possible in web architecture.
Thanks

Data fetching problem in select query

HI Expert,
               Pls check the below code as data is not fetching due to BGMKOBJ-OBJNR(22) not equal to EQKT-EQUNR(18).
select EQUNR
        EQKTX
       from EQKT into corresponding fields of table IT_EQKT
       from EQKT into table IT_EQKT
         into table IT_EQKT
         from EQKT
       for all entries in IT_BGMKOBJ
       for all entries in IT_ITOB
         where EQUNR = IT_ITOB-OBJNR
        and spras eq 'EN'.
Pls help me with code.
Thanks & Regards,
Singha

Create a new internal table with the field EQUNR with BGMKOBJ-OBJNR values and do for all entries on this table.There is no alternative on this.
e.g,
types: begin of t_equnr,
equnr type EQKT-EQUNR,
end of t_equnr.
data : it_equnr type table of t_equnr,
         wa_equnr type t_equnr.
loop at IT_BGMKOBJ into wa_BGMKOBJ .
wa_equnr-equnr = wa_BGMKOBJ-OBJNR.
append wa_equnr to it_equnr.
endloop.
select EQUNR
EQKTX
from EQKT into corresponding fields of table IT_EQKT
from EQKT into table IT_EQKT
into table IT_EQKT
from EQKT
for all entries in IT_BGMKOBJ
for all entries in it_equnr
where EQUNR = it_equnr-EQUNR

Query on Data Block based on View

Hi,
I am new to forms and am trying to modify an existing form which currently works in the following way :
The same form is used for insert/updates/queries.
The data block is based on a table and a post query trigger is written which updates the other text items on the canvas(which come from different tables) based on the values returned by the data block. Since the query functionality is based only on the table, you cannot query on the other items that are on the canvas. I need to make the query work on the other items that come from different tables.
I created a view which joins all the tables but when I query although it returns the right record I get an error message " Cannot insert into or update view"
I'm not sure what the best way to resolve this is ?
Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Preeti

Thanks for the replies.
I created an updateable view and an instead of trigger. The Form is now queryable on all fields and the insert to the table works beautifully.
However, now I'm getting an error on Update. Updating any column on the form results in a
ORA-01733: virtual column not allowed here
FRM-40501: ORACLE error: unable to reserve record for update or delete.
The code for the view is :
select a.*,
B.vendor_name as Supplier_name,
     'PRE' AS TO_OWNER,
     C.vendor_site_code as supplier_site,
     ARCH.vendor_name AS Architect,
     p.segment1 as Project,
     ph.segment1 as PO_number,
     decode(a.interface_status,'I','Interfaced', 'U', 'UnInterfaced',
     'P', 'Partial',null) Interface_display_status,
     decode(a.approval_status,'A','Approved', 'P', 'Partial',
     'R', 'Rejected', 'U','Unapproved',null) Approval_display_status
from idc_aia_g702 a, po_vendors b,
po_vendor_sites_all C,
PO_VENDORS ARCH,
pa_projects_all p,
po_headers_all ph
where b.vendor_id = a.vendor_id
AND A.vendor_site_Id (+) = C.vendor_site_id
AND A.VIA_ARCHITECT_VENDOR_ID = ARCH.VENDOR_ID (+)
and a.project_id = p.project_id
and a.po_header_id = ph.po_header_id;
I know I have to do something on either the data block property palette or the individual item property palette and clicking on any field within the form in order to update it results in the error mentioned above.
Shd I have all the item props as Query Only set to Yes ? or the ones for Table A as Query Only set to N and the other table columns as Y ?
Thanks

How to query two data blocks simultaneously?

Dear all,
Need your inputs on the following problem statement...
Existing Functionality:
We have two data blocks A (Parent) and B (Child) in a relationship. Both data blocks refer to different tables.
Data block A is the query data block and for a single record in block A we can have multiple records in block B. Multiple records in block B are shown one at a time after executing a query, this is implemented by using a list item C (belongs to a third block).
For example
Let us say block B can have 5 different types of entries for each record in block A. In this case the list item C will have 5 values corresponding to these entries. Once the query is executed, block B will show the default entry for the queried record in block A. To see other entries for the record user can select the required value in list item C and corresponding entry in block B will be fetched.
Requirement:
Our requirement now is to enable querying upon both data blocks A and B simultaneously. To implement this I replaced data blocks A and B with a single data block X which is based on the join of the two tables referred by the Data blocks A and B earlier. As the fields should allow insert, update, delete operations we did not use a view here.
Issue:
Now the problem is, each record in block A for which block B had multiple entries earlier is now getting listed multiple times because of the join.
I have tried but could not find any solution for this. I would appreciate if any of you can suggest how we can query both blocks simultaneously without affecting the existing functionality.
Thanks,
Amit

I don't understand your requirement in detail. I try to repeat what i understood so far.
You have a master-block A based on a table A and a detail-block B based on a table B. So far so good. You can now query based on conditions just the datablock A, because B is a detail and therefore can only be queryied in context of block A.
Your reuirement is to query on both blocks A and B and find block in B also without giving conditions for the relevant block A.
Is it that ?
What i don't understand, what is block C used for?
An idea for the querying of block B's data: Create Non-database-items items in block A for the search-criteria you need on block B and make them Queryable.
In the PRE-QUERY-trigger on block A build a WHERE-condition if that search-criteria is entered, something like
IF :BLOCK_A.SEARCH_CRITERIA_FOR_BLOCK_B IS NOT NULL THEN
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('BLOCK_A', ONETIME_WHERE, 'WHERE PKVALUE IN (SELECT FKVALUE_TO_A FROM TABLE_B WHERE FIELDVALUE=' ||:BLOCK_A.SEARCH_CRITERIA_FOR_BLOCK_B)');
END IF;This would query also records to A for which you want to have the B-records. So you could keep block-structure up to master-detail.

Select Query in Want unique time.

Please go through below detail
I have one table.
File Id, Date, Time
00001 10/12/2010 10:10
00001 10/12/2010 10:10
00001 10/12/2010 10:10

00002 10/12/2010 10:10
00002 10/12/2010 10:10
I want unique fileid,date and time in select query only.
If apply group by File Id, Date, Time then I want increment time +1.
New column
00001 10/12/2010 10:10 10:10
00001 10/12/2010 10:10 10:12 <-- We can not set 10:11 due to it's already exist in table.
00001 10/12/2010 10:10 10:13
00001 10/12/2010 10:11 10:11
In short i would like select fileid,date,time,(Id duplicate entry then time +1 to generate uniquness).
I have do this for myself but i face this problem.
Query to fatch below all duplicate row
time+1
00001 10/12/2010 10:10 10:10
00001 10/12/2010 10:10 10:11 <-- But this enty again become duplicate due to it's already exist in table.
00001 10/12/2010 10:10 10:12
Thanks in advance.

I want time as it is means 23:11 it should not convert to 11:11:00 PMThat has nothing to do with the query.

Needs help to retrive the last row in a select query without using rownum

Hi ,
i need to retrive the last row from the select sub query without using rownum.
is there any other way to retrive the last row other than the below query.
is that the ROWNUM=1 will always retrive the 1 row of the select query ?
select from*
*(select ename from employee where dept_id=5 order by desc) where rownum=1;*
Please advise.
thanks for your help advance,

Does the number of records returned match the number in the DB?

Because i am able to fetch data by writing a selct query on ONE DATABASE VIEW and ON TRANSPARANT TABLE
but i am not able to fetch data by writing a query on TWO DATABASE VIEWS
Query which i am able to fetch data is
select * from CSKS where OBJNR = COVJ-OBJNR
Query which i am NOT able to fetch data is
Select * from COAS where OBJNR = COVJ-OBJNR
Here
COVJ is a DATABASE VIEW
CSKS is a Transparant Table
COAS is a DATABASE VIEW
Thanks in advance
Regards
Ajay

Hi
I tried with code and I am able to fetch data from view COAS
DATA:it_coas TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF coas.
SELECT * FROM coas INTO TABLE it_coas.
IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
WRITE:/ 'Sucess'.
ENDIF.
I think in your case COAS view does not have a value for COVJ-OBJNR.

Helo Kanish,
this is not the one i was asking..
wht i mean was .
i use bind variable to get date while running the select statement , once i get the date then i want to choose any one of the table to run select query.
EG..
select col1,col2 from table1 where date between only if 01-jan-01 and 01-jan-05;
select col1,col2 from table2 where date between only if 02-jan-05 and 01-jan-08;
Run any one of the two . not all
thanks,
