BW 3.5 Subquery variable

I am working with BW3.5. I have many variables that are created by replacement path from a subquery. I currently have the problem that if I need to check the name of the subquery used by a variable I have to do a change variabel.When I do this the system sometimes comes back with a response "Specify a Technical Name" in a box named SAPVarEditor and after clicking OK the Query name in the Replacement Path area is blank. Anyone know what causes this?

Hi Armin
I am having the same SAPVarEDitor dialog pop-up on my BW3.5 system (copy of BW production) for some of the variables. It's not happening on the BW production system though. I thought you may have a solution for your question, if so, if you can kindly post them to me ..
much appreciated..

Bind variables in custom sql subquery

Is it possible to use bind variables in a custom sql subquery? I have a top level query built with expressions and I am using the builder.subQuery() method to execute the report query containing the custom sql.
Thanks,
Will

Yes, that should be possible. Here is what to do. Make your SQL string. Where you want to bind variables, use a question mark.
example: select empId from employee where employeeId=?
Then you want to create a Call object. Then you can do ReportQuery rq = new ReadAllQuery (sqlCall);
here is how to bind:
queryParams is a Collection
//start code
Call sqlCall = new SQLCall();
((SQLCall)sqlCall).setSQLString(sqlString);
if ((queryParams != null) && (queryParams.size() > 0)) {
     Vector sqlParameterTypes = new Vector(queryParams.size());
     Vector sqlParameters = new Vector(queryParams.size());
     Iterator iter = queryParams.iterator();
     while (iter.hasNext()) {
          Object queryParameter = iter.next();
          sqlParameterTypes.add(SQLCall.IN);
          sqlParameters.add(queryParameter);
     ((SQLCall)sqlCall).setParameterTypes(sqlParameterTypes);
     ((SQLCall)sqlCall).setParameters(sqlParameters);
//end code
I hope this helps. The APIe changed from 9.0.4.5 to 10.1.3 so this code is for 10.1.3. Post if you have any more questions.

Is it possible to pass a subquery with variable value ?

Hi
Is it possible to pass a subquery with variable as date ....which inturn is used to retrieve the value from the main query .
For ex, this query is used to obtain the forecast details based on month and i need to obatain the month value from the sub query where the user need to select the forecast date as one of the parameter
select OFCT.Name,Fct1.ItemCode,sum(fct1.Quantity) as S_Qty,month(Fct1.date)as For_Month
from Fct1,OFct
where Fct1.absid = ofct.absid
and fct1.ItemCode = '26259939'
and month(fct1.date) in (select month(fct1.date)from fct1 where fct1.date =<b> '[1%]'</b>)
Hope somebody will respond
Regards
Mini

Hi Owen,
I have tried this query in Query Generator after trying it SQL Query Analyzer for syntax error as you had mentioned ,
The query i have tried and is working with Analyser is :
select OFCT.Name,Fct1.ItemCode,sum(fct1.Quantity) as S_Qty,month(Fct1.date)as For_Month
from Fct1,OFct
where Fct1.absid = ofct.absid
and FCT1.ItemCode = '4/4650017/2'
and month(fct1.date) = '11'
group by FCT1.itemcode,OFCT.NAme,FCT1.date
In Query Generator when i try the same query,the Itemcode and Month need to be entered as variable, Iam able to take the item.Even the variable window shows me the Forecast date but the query throws an error 8180.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you

Please help: How to pass variable from main select to subquery

I have a table with four columns (id, status, start_date and end_date) as follows. What I want is to get the difference between the statuses' start_date to find out how long it takes for the ID to change status. Basically getting the difference of the Start_dates of the statuses for the ID.
ID         Status               Start_date          End_date
1         NEW             02-FEB-07        02-FEB-07

1         BAD             09-FEB-07        14-FEB-07

SELECT ID, (SELECT Start_date from tbl where Status = 'OLD' and ID = 1) - (SELECT Start_date from tbl WHERE Status = 'NEW' and ID =1) from tbl where ID = 1
but that would not work since I have more than one id and implementing inside Java will be complicated. Please help me what I need to do .. Thank you

How can I remove distinct from subquery?

Hello, I'll expose my problem, I don't know if may be is a bug.
Suppose We have
Table A:
field A1 primary key
field A2
field A3
Table B
field B1 primary key
field B2 foreig key to A(A1)
field B3
I use reverse tool to build objects from DB schema.
Everything runs ok but when I want to recover A objects
with sum(B3) from B,it doesn't runs fine.
To achieve this I've made a class C with fields of class A and a double
for sum. The code I've use is:
KodoQuery query = (KodoQuery)getPersistenceManager()
.newQuery(A.class, "this == b.b2");
query.declareVariables("B b");
query.declareImports("x.x.B");
query.setResultClass(C.class);
query.setResult("this as a, sum(b.b3) as s");
query.setGrouping("a");
Collection c = query.execute();
I use PostGreSQL 7.4, and the sql that Kodo generates is like this:
SELECT s.A1, SUM(s.C) AS c
FROM ( SELECT DISTINCT a.A1 AS A1, s.B3 AS C
FROM PUBLIC.A a INNER JOIN PUBLIC.B b ON (a.A1 = b.B2) ) s
GROUP BY s.A1
But the problem is 'DISTINCT' keyword. If I have records on B
with same B3 value then:
B1=1,B2=1,B3=25
B1=2,B2=1,B3=25
The query returns SUM(B3)=25 which is not valid!!!, it must be 50.
It fails with repeated B3 values because distinct keyword.
I bypass this adding a third field to class C that I will not use, and
introduce it into query:
KodoQuery query = (KodoQuery)getPersistenceManager()
.newQuery(A.class, "this == b.b2");
query.declareVariables("B b");
query.declareImports("x.x.B");
query.setResultClass(C.class);
query.setResult("this as a, sum(b.b3) as s, sum(b.b1) as t");
query.setGrouping("a");
Collection c = query.execute();
With this, I force to put primary key into subquery, and disables
DISTINCT, but I never will use this field :(. SQL generated by KODO:
SELECT s.A1, SUM(s.C) AS c, SUM(s.T) as t
FROM ( SELECT DISTINCT a.A1 AS A1, s.B3 AS C, s.B1 as T
FROM PUBLIC.A a INNER JOIN PUBLIC.B b ON (a.A1 = b.B2) ) s
GROUP BY s.A1
Questions:
1.- What may I doing wrong?
2.- How can I disable Distinct from subquerys?
And, no, I don't want to select by class B and then search A objects.
I want a C object with A object plus SUM of values from B.
I am achieving this with this patch.
I know that when there aren't B objects I don't receive results.
Is there any way to build an OUTER JOIN with JDOQL ?
In order to bypass this, I execute the query another time but reseting to
0, but I will prefer to be able to build an OUTER JOIN ;)
PD: Little class descriptions:
class A{ int a1, int a2, int a3} (autogenerated by kodo)
class B{ int b1, int b2, double b3} (autogenerated by kodo)
class C{ A a, double c, int t} (generated by me)
Sorry for my english :(
thanks.

I'll address your outer join question first, since it's the easiest. Kodo will
create outer joins automatically as needed to satisfy your JDOQL. In this case,
your JDOQL does not warrant an outer join. Your filter criteria on the query is
"this == b.b2". That means the query cannot and should not return any values
when there are no A's that match that join. Why not try this equivalent but
simpler query?
Query q = pm.newQuery (B.class);
q.setResult ("b2 as a, sum(b3) as s");
q.setGrouping ("b2");
q.setResultClass (C.class);
That will return results grouped by the A objects from the b2 field, and the sum
of the b3 field for all B's in each group. It should use an outer join.
About DISTINCT:
The pattern of a distinct subselect is caused by two conditions:
1. Your result clause is non-distinct. That is, you did:
q.setResult("this as a, sum(b3) as s")
rather than:
q.setResult("distinct this as a, sum(b3) as s")
This means that you want to allow duplicates in the projected values you get back.
2. You use an unbound variable ("b") in a way that could lead to duplicates
caused by relational joins. JDO always eliminates duplicates caused by database
joins.
So in order to eliminate the possible duplicates caused by #2, Kodo issues the
query as a DISTINCT subselect. Then in order to allow duplicates of the
projected results (#1), Kodo uses a non-distinct outer select.
The simplest way to eliminate the DISTINCT subselect is to use the alternate
query on B.class I mentioned above. That will result in no DISTINCTs at all.
Another way is to use the "distinct" keyword in your setResult() call, as I
showed in #1. That will result in a DISTINCT select without any subselect.
Without reverting to a SQL query (which you can still execute through JDO APIs,
as described in the documentation), I believe those are the options available.

Using all results in a multiple row resultset returned by a subquery

I solved the problem of splitting up the dimension fields for each account code as referenced in my first post. Now I am needing to return the budget amounts of each account code (some account codes return multiple amounts). I need to do this
for five sets of years so that I show each year in its own column (a Proposed Budget Year, a Current Budget Year, and three historical budget years).
Right now I am attempting to use joins to the three tables that show the different types of amounts. Some account codes will return multiple amount values for the same account code in the same year. I need all of these amounts in a row associated
with the account code so that I can group and sum them later on by differing criteria from the dimension fields. Here is what I have so far (it returns the account codes and dimension fields correctly, but the amounts aren't working and I can't figure
out how to make them work.

If I run the query without the amounts included, I get all the account codes and dimension fields fine. If I try to include the amounts I get an empty result set. I tried using a subquery to get the amounts, but it erred out due to returning multiple
results for each account code on a given amount type in a given year. I'm stuck. Please help.
RandyHJ1957

The amounts are coming from three other tables that are not yet included in the existing query. Depending on the year being referenced, the amounts come from the following tables:
ProposedBudget amounts come from the BudgetPrep table (BudgetPrep.Amount).
CurrentBudget amounts come from the Budget table (Budget.Amount)
Each of the the historical years of budget amounts come from the Transactions table, which I call three times with different table aliases (T1, T2, T3) so that I use the following columns T1.Amount, T2.Amount, and T3.Amount for each respective historical
year.
For example, I want my years to appear as columns in the result set:
ProposedBudget Current Budget Historical 1 Historical 2 Historical 3
2015 2014 2013 2012
2011
I need to join the amounts to the account codes for each year I am dealing with.
Sometimes there are several results for the amount per account code in a year (representing different fund divisions) and I need to display all the amounts so I can group and sum them later in a report. I'm trying to gather all the amounts for each
account code (and its respective line items) for each of the five years so I can present the data in a report.

How to pass parameter [bind variable or substitution variable] to a view?

How can I pass a parameter [bind variable or substitution variable] to a view in Oracle?
Some will tell me that this is not necessary, that I can only pass the parameter when I query the view, but I found some case where this cause performance issue. In long view where I use subquery factoring [WITH], it's necessary to pass the parameter many time through different subqueries and not only to the resulting view.
In other database (SQL Server, Access), we can pass parameters through query. I can't find how to do that in Oracle. Can some one tell me what is the approach suggest by Oracle on that subject?
Thank you in advance,
MB
What I can do:
CREATE VIEW "HR"."EMP_NAME" ("FIRST_NAME", "LAST_NAME")
AS
SELECT FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME FROM EMPLOYEES;
What I want to do:
CREATE VIEW "HR"."EMP_NAME" ("FIRST_NAME", "LAST_NAME")(prmEMP_ID)
AS
SELECT FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE EMPLOYEE_ID IN (:prmEMP_ID);

Views are a form of dynamic SQL and it is hard to predict how they will perform later.
You can't pass parameters to a view. They are not functions. The mechanism to put the values in is what you mentioned, passing the parameter when you query the view.
In other database (SQL Server, Access), we can pass parameters through query. I can't find how to do that in Oracle. Can some one tell me what is the approach suggest by Oracle on that subject? This functionality is not supported.
What I can do:
CREATE VIEW "HR"."EMP_NAME" ("FIRST_NAME", "LAST_NAME")
AS
SELECT FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME FROM EMPLOYEES;
What I want to do:
CREATE VIEW "HR"."EMP_NAME" ("FIRST_NAME", "LAST_NAME")(prmEMP_ID)
AS
SELECT FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE EMPLOYEE_ID IN (:prmEMP_ID);Include the bind value when you use the view in a SELECT. The value will be applied to the view at run-time, somthing like
CREATE VIEW "HR"."EMP_NAME_VW" ("FIRST_NAME", "LAST_NAME","EMPLOYEE_ID")(prmEMP_ID)
AS SELECT FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME FROM EMPLOYEES;
select *
from emp_name_vw
WHERE EMPLOYEE_ID IN (:prmEMP_ID);To use EMPLOYEE_ID I added it to your list of columns in the view so it can be referenced in the WHERE clause. If you don't want to see that value don't select it from the view.

Use of a alias in one subquery

Executing the command below it returns an error informing that "A1" is an invalid identification.
select 1 as a1, (select a1 as b2 from dual) as b1 from dual
Is not possible to create one alias and to use it in one subquery in the same command?
It exists another form of if getting this result?

I placed ' the changeable ' term for you understand what I really need. I go to more clearly try to be.
I attribute to value 1 to variavel a1, and in subquery I attribute to the variable a1 to the second variable b2. And the result of this is attributed to the third variable b2.
In the first column of mine ' select ', I create column I unite a1 to receive value 1, in the second column of mine ' select ', I make one subquery selecting column I unite a1 (first column of select) and I create as column you unite to receive the value from column you unite a1. This select must return the content from column unites a1=1 and b1=b2=a1=1.
My problem is of this type, only that in a context of my application.
If I to decide this basic example, I will also decide the problem of my application.
You can make tests with as select that I passed (select 1 aa, 2 bb, (aa + bb) the dual c from).
In this in case that, I create column you unite aa to receive value 1, I create column you unite bb to receive value 2, I add the content of the two column you unite and I create column you unite c to receive the addition, that is equal (1+2)=3.

DECODE is not working in WHERE clause when subquery returns more rows

Hi Gurus,
I want to write a query on CCENTERS table(Script given below) and expect the following result:
1. When I pass a value of 0 for ID, It returns all the rows given in the table.
2. When I pass a value other than 0, It returns the row for the given value as well as all its child records.
CCENTER has parent-child relationship in ID and BASE column. I am using a query with DECODE function. but DECODE function in WHERE clause is not capable of handling sub-query with multiple rows.
VARIABLE ParaCCenter NUMBER
BEGIN
:paraccenter:=0;
END;
CREATE TABLE ccenters
(id NUMBER,
name VARCHAR2(20),
base number);
INSERT INTO ccenters VALUES(1,'NUST',null);
INSERT INTO ccenters VALUES(2,'SEECS',1);
INSERT INTO ccenters VALUES(3,'NBS',1);
commit;
SELECT * FROM ccenters
WHERE id IN DECODE(:ParaCCenter, 0, id,
(SELECT id FROM ccenters
START WITH base=:ParaCCenter
CONNECT BY PRIOR id = base
UNION
SELECT :ParaCCenter FROM dual
BEGIN
:paraCCenter:=1;
END;
SELECT * FROM ccenters
WHERE id IN DECODE(:ParaCCenter, 0, id,
(SELECT id FROM ccenters
START WITH base=:ParaCCenter
CONNECT BY PRIOR id = base
UNION
SELECT :ParaCCenter FROM dual))
The result is
(SELECT id FROM ccenters
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row
How this query can be rewritten for the given functionality. Any response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Global variable in a package

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if this is possible?
I have a table with some control values in it and want to be able to access some of these values in a package.
In the spec of my package I want to be able to set a global variable for the value of a specific record.
i.e. I want to be able to say something like:
glo_value_1 := (select value_col from control_table where id_col = 1);
I'm trying to avoid just creating a cursor that I will have to open/fetch/close for every procedure and function in my package. I'd like to be able to just set the value in the specification so that I can just refer to it as glo_value_1.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Yog

Well there is no support for scalar subquery in PL/SQL (in-line SELECT) but you could of course write a function to geth the control value based on it's id and assign the result of the function to the global, something like...
glo_value_1 := control_value_function (1);

How to reduce different versions of SQL with bind variables

There is an application, developed on Java.
Application executes SQL following types:
select * from t where id in (:1)
select * from t where id in (:1, :2)
select * from t where id in (:1, :2, :3)
select * from t where id in (:1, :2, :3, :4)
...And as a result very many versions (thousands) of similar SQL.
Do you know a method to reduce number of such SQLs?
I see one method: use one form of SQL with large number of prepared bid variables.
Like as
select * from t where id in (:1, :2, :3, :4, :5, :6, :7, :8, ...);And if query will be executed with one variable, the others will be equal to null.
Is there another method?

Cannot you insert those values into a temporary table and work within a subquery against that table ? That will make the code more secure, especially if the number of values is high.

Error with clob column: "No pl/sql translation for the blind type given for this bind variable"

This is reports 11g
I've got a clob column. Reports seems to recognize its type, but if I try to reference it in a format trigger, I get this error at compile time:
"No pl/sql translation for the blind type given for this bind variable"

Actually, Reports is in something better than Forms.
Neither Forms nor Reports do not have "complete" SQL engine (both have only "complete" PL/SQL engine), but have their own SQL parser, which does not understand SQL commands after the database 8.0.
But, in Reports Data Model - SQL Query Statement, we can write "modern" SQL statement (> database 8.0), because Reports sent it directly to the database, without using their own SQL parser.
For example, in Reports Data Model - SQL Query Statement, we can write this (scalar subquery expressions, in bold):
select empno,
       ename,
       deptno,
       (select dname from dept where deptno = emp.deptno) dname
from emp
order by empno;
although scalar subquery expressions was introduced in the database 9.0.1, and in databases 8.0 and 8.1 we should write someting like this:
select emp.empno,
       emp.ename,
       emp.deptno,
       dept.dname
from emp,
       dept
where dept.deptno = emp.deptno
order by empno;

Help : How to use list of values in Variable in ODI

Dear All,
I have a multiple values in table, and I would to use these values a a parameter in ODI to retrieve rows based on these values. As I know that we can use single value in variable in ODI.
Any one can Help me please?

Can't you use a join between the tables ?
ODI mostly take advantage of native technologies.
i.e If my source technology is oracle then i will create a join between the table i.e. MAINTABLE.column = LOVTABLE.COLUMN and also put a filter on LOVTABLE to take required values.
OR you can write a subquery in the Filter i.e. MAINTABLE.COLUMN in ( Select LOVVALUES from LOVTABLE where LOVTABLE.ATTRIBUTE = 'BUSINESS_UNIT')
