BusinessObject 4.0 API to get SQL statement from webi or crystal report

Hello,
Need your help.... could you confirm whether BusinessObjects 4.0 provides any SDK, API or Web Service to get physical SQL statement from the webi or crystal reports file?
If so, could you provide name of package, class and method?
If I am not wrong, there is an SDK in v3.0 that allows to extract the SQL. But I am reading a lot on these forums that lot of SDK classes and functions are deprecated / removed in v4.0.
Thanks for your help.

For Crystal Reports in BI 4.0 to retrieve the SQL query you can use Report Application Server SDK. Here is a code snippet that retrieves the SQL statement.
//oInfoObjectReport is of type IInfoObject corresponding to the crystal report.
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = reportAppFactory.openDocument(oInfoObjectReport, 0, Locale.ENGLISH);
 //for all crystal reports
 GroupPath grpPath = new GroupPath();
 //get CR SQL query string
 String reportSQL=reportClientDoc.getRowsetController().getSQLStatement(grpPath,null);
 System.out.println("report SQL String: "+reportSQL);
 //for report whose datasource is command object:
 Tables tables = reportClientDoc.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables();
 for (int i = 0; i < tables.size(); i++)
 ITable table = tables.getTable(i);
 ICommandTable ic= (ICommandTable) table;
 //Command can be obtained from the report using getCommandObject() method
 //get CR SQL query string
 String SQLText=ic.getCommandText();
 System.out.println("SQLText_"+i+": "+SQLText);

Getting SQL statement from OCIStmt

Is there a way to retrieve the SQL statement from OCIStmt structure? That is, does anyone know what this structure is? For example, if used OCIPrepareStmt, then bound all the variables to OCIStmt, can I tell from OCIStmt what the final SQL statement is? What about the statement string that was originally passed to OCIPrepareStmt()?
Thanks!
Igor

Hey! Thanks for your time!
use preparedStatements.I'm trying that
Then use a wrapper class called
[url=http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-01-2002/jw-0
25-overpower.html]debuggableStatement. You willget the SQL that the driver is using.
Is that only for Debugging or can i use that in live code?
Thanks again,

How to get SQL statement from (Collection) query.execute();

We have a JDO Persistence class ClassName that execute query using following code. After this statement get executed, record does not get updated in the DB. Is there a way to check what SQL statement got submitted in the (Collection) query.execute(); ??? 
Extent extent = pm.getExtent(ClassName.class, false); 
Query query = null; 
try { 
query = pm.newQuery(extent, filter); 
Collection results = (Collection) query.execute(); 
Iterator i = results.iterator(); 
if (i.hasNext()) { 
... 
} 

You can always find out the names of tables that are views, using java.sql.DatabaseMetaData and its getTables() method.
This tends to be a nice source of examples:
javaalmanac.com
However, if you're asking for the underlying SQL used to CREATE VIEW, I don't see anything in the API that will give you that. After all, JDBC shouldn't have to know if it's dealing with an ordinary table or a view. I think you'd have to ask your DBA for the underlying SQL.
Once you have it, what do you plan to do with it?

Get an set the SQL statement from a report at runtime

i know there is an opportunity to filter the records by using setRecordSelectionFormula() method...but i wondered if you can anyhow get the whole SQL statement that is in the report. i think it would be very useful for many developers to maipulate the SQL directly like you were able to using the PE-functions in the old CRPE32.DLL...
but in CR XI the CRPE32.DLL is no longer supported. now we have to substitute these functions with the JRC but i am not sure if it provides everything we had in the CRPE32.DLL...
after all i do not understand why the CRPE32.DLL is still delivered but not supported. in my CR XI R2 installtion i found this file signed with version 11.5.3.438
by the way it is a question of performance...a query would be faster if you could directly query the database by changing the reports sql statement instead of allowing the report to retrieve all data and then performing the filtering.
so please, for the next version of the JRC give us the opportunity to get an set the sql statement of a report directly!

Not an option. crpe32 is proprietory and the SQL we generate is to complex to assume it will be done correctly. Which is why the ability was removed

Extracting SQL statement from a Webi document's data provider using SDK.

Hi all,
Is it possible to extract the SQL statement from an existing Webi document's data provider using BO SDK? I've searched through the class library but haven't found any information on this yet. If you have done it, could you provide some guidance. Many thanks.

I found the following Java code that might be of some help to you. I realize you are using .NET but this might push you down the right path.
The trick here is to use the Report Engine SDK to get the DataProvider of the DocumentInstance. Then, look at the SQLDataProvider to get your SQLContainer.
My apologies for the poor formatting. This didn't copy and paste over to the forums very well. I've cleaned up as much as I could.

Building up dymanic SQL statement from user entered fields on a jsp

Hi guys.
I'm building up a sql statement from a bunch of input fields that the users can type in on a .jsp page. No real problem there, but I get a problem when they type in words with ' character in it Eg: Don't, I'll etc.
This confuses the java code totally and usually results in a spectacular crash of the system.
Any ideas/thought/wild speculations would be most appreciated.

Even in pure read-only databases SQL injection can be a problem, as the user might be able to read data he should not be able to see.
You can also create dynamically created sql statements using PreparedStatements, that's not a problem, I'm doing it pretty often myself.
List<Object> arguments = new ArrayList<Object>();
StringBuilder sql = new StringBuilder("SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE");
if (someCondition) {
sql.append(" foobar = ? ");
arguments.add(someValue);
if (someOtherCondition) {
sql.append(" AND barfoo = ?");
arguments.add(someOtherValue);
// later on use setObject() to fill in the parametersObviously you'll have to handle putting the correct ANDs and ORs there, but you probably has solved that already, as it isn't any different if you don't use a PreparedStatement.

How to store data into database by reading sql statements from text file

how to write java program for storing data into database by reading sql statements from text file

Step 1: Create a property file to add various queries.
Step 2: Read the properties file using ResourceBundle
Step 3: Use the jdbc to execute the query read from the property file.
So in future if you need to change query no need do any modifications in java program. But depends on how you use the property file.

How Can I Retrieve SQL Statement From The User ?

Hi
I want to know, how can I make the user can enter the SQL statement from himself ?? in this code he can't enter it. Only he can display the SQL that i wrote it...
this is my Code:
import java.sql.*;
public class db_testing {
 static final String DRIVER = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
 static final String DATABASE_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/S204111933";
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 Connection cn=null;
 Statement st= null;
 ResultSet rset=null;
 try{
 Class.forName(DRIVER);
 cn=DriverManager.getConnection(DATABASE_URL, "root", "admin");
 st=cn.createStatement();
 rset=st.executeQuery("select * from employee");
 ResultSetMetaData metadata=rset.getMetaData();
 System.out.println("The begining: ");
 for(int i=1;i<=metadata.getColumnCount();i++)
 System.out.print(metadata.getColumnName(i)+"\t");
 System.out.println();
 System.out.println();
 while(rset.next()){
 for(int i=1;i<=metadata.getColumnCount();i++)
 System.out.print(rset.getObject(i)+"\t\t");
 System.out.println();}
 catch(Exception e){
 e.printStackTrace();
 finally{
 try{
 cn.close();
 st.close();
 rset.close();
 catch(Exception e1){
 e1.printStackTrace();
}

The following changes in the code will make the user to give the input
import java.sql.*;
public class db_testing {
static final String DRIVER = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
static final String DATABASE_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/S204111933";
public static void main(String[] args) {
Connection cn=null;
Statement st= null;
ResultSet rset=null;
try{
Class.forName(DRIVER);
cn=DriverManager.getConnection(DATABASE_URL, "root", "admin");
// st=cn.createStatement();
// rset=st.executeQuery("select * from employee");
PreparedStatement pstmt=null;
pstmt=cn.prepareStatement("select * from employee where id=?");
pstmt.setInt(1,Integer.parseInt(args[0]));
rset=pstmt.executeQuery();
ResultSetMetaData metadata=rset.getMetaData();
System.out.println("The begining: ");
for(int i=1;i<=metadata.getColumnCount();i++)
System.out.print(metadata.getColumnName(i)+"\t");
System.out.println();
System.out.println();
while(rset.next()){
for(int i=1;i<=metadata.getColumnCount();i++)
System.out.print(rset.getObject(i)+"\t\t");
System.out.println();}

How to isolate the Sql Statement from Java Code

Hi
I Need to know that can we segregate the Sql Statements and convert them to Stored Procedures so as to isolate the Sql statements from Java Code.
So i have one static web page which uses four select Statements so what i want is to create a stored procedure encapsulating these queries. So that the Java Web Developer will simply call the Stored Procedure instead of using four different SQL Statements.
Suppose the developer has these four Statements
Select ename,empno,sal,job from emp;
select empno,ename,mgr from emp;
select deptno,dname from dept;
select emp.ename,emp.empno,emp.deptno,dept,dname fromemp,dept;
So can i encapsulate these four Sql Statements in one Procedure and the Web developer can call the Store procedure and dont need to write the Sql Statements in his code.
Can Anybody guide me how to write this Stored type of Store procedure.
Thanks

Exec SQL statement from BW to MS SQL

Hi Experts,
I need to execute sql statement from BW on MS SQL Server.
I want to do it in process chain. There is a so called ABAP Program Component.
How to implement such a program or function module that will execute on MS SQL Server an sql statement such as for instance:
"Create view SOME_VIEW as select * from XTABLE".
I have already configured database connection using DBCO transaction.
Waiting for response.
Krzysztof

Thanks, but that is not what I was asking for.
I just need to send some SQL statement from BW to MS SQL Server using ABAP program (exec sql or something like this).
Could you provide me a pattern of such an ABAP program?
The sql statement is not importent here, I have already extracted data from MS SQL to BW, I have configured dataflow, process chains and so on.
No I need to determine DELTA on MS SQL Server. I've got some ideas but I need to know how to send SQL statement from BW to MS SQL Server using ABAP program.
Please any help will be appreciated

How could I investigate SQL statement from standard audit record ?

We use Oracle 11gR2.
We use standard audit , audit_trail=DB.
We found suspicious audit record but that SQL_BIND,SQL_TEXT colums were NULL.
How could I investigate that SQL statement from standard audit record ?

Only "DB, EXTENDED" would cause the SQL statement to be captured.
If you have the Diagnostics Pack licence you could try querying DBA_HIST_SQLTEXT (joined to DBA_HIST_SNAPSHOT) -- but this would only list SQLs captured by AWR (i.e. the "Top 'N'" SQLs in that snapshot).

Patterns to execute a SQL Statement from a Droplet (select)

Hi,
I need to perform a query on a table, Example: select * from ARF_QUERY "the database used is Oracle. I would like to know if the atg has some
standard method to perform this database connection and execute the SQL statement from a Droplet (select).
Thank.

I dont think there is any generic droplet to run a select query directly against a table.
However, there are various lookup droplets available that run on the repositories.
Like /atg/targeting/RepositoryLookup droplet. you can run it for specific id or for all.
You might want to have a look at it in documentation of how exactly to use it.
Thanks

How could I extract past executed SQL statement from dictionary ?

We use oracle11gR2 on win2008R2.
How could I extract the past executed SQL statement from dictionary ? (Is it possible from V$SQLTEXT or other dictionary table ?)

IvicaArsov wrote:
Hi,
You can find executed SQL in V$SQLAREA view (if it's still in memory). If it does'n't exist and you have AWR enabled you can query DBA_HIST_SQLTEXT table, but remember that the statistic information in AWR tables is filtered (1 out of 10).
I.Arsov
As you know when taking snapshot oracle will capture only top sql statements and stored in AWR.
But can you please link(source) dba_hist_sqltext contain only 1 out of 10 filtered data?. In dba_hist_active_sess_history yes it contain 1 out of 10 sampled data.
