Can ResultSetMetaData() return the table name if it is selected from a view

hi all
can anyone tell me if ResultSetMetaData() can return
the name of the table if it is selected from a view?
thanks, i tried and it didn't return nothing. is it
because the view is treated differently than table in
ResultSetMetaData?I would say "no". A view could be a multi-table join query, or maybe even a no-table query. The bigger picture I think though, is that you shouldn't need to know what the underlying table(s) were for this query - smells of a mis-design.

How can I get the table name of my column?

I'm using the JDK 1.3 trying to get a table name of a column from a result set. Regardless of what driver I'm using (ODBC Bridge/Oracle) I always get a null returned. Does this method work?
If not, if I'm doing an SQL query that uses more than 1 table and each table has a return of the same column name, how do I distinguish which table the column is from. Thanks

You can use ResultSetMetaData interface and method
String getTableName(int column)
This should return you the table name.
To get ResultSetMetaData object, you can use
ResultSetMetaData getMetaData()
method of ResultSet interface.

How can we get the table name...

Hi All,
How can we get the actual table name for an argument if its datatype is %ROWTYPE.
For Ex :
function ACCOUNT_UPDATE (account_no number,
person person%rowtype,
amounts dbms_describe.number_table,
trans_date date)
return accounts.balance%type;
In the above function 'ACCOUNT_UPDATE', for argument person the datatype is 'person%rowtype'.
Is there any way to get the name from Data Dictionary tables.
I tried using All_Arguments and DBMS_DESCRIBE, I can able to get all the individual fields of %ROWTYPE by I could not able to know the exact table name thru the DD.
my requirement is dynamically I need to declare a variable for the argument datatype.
Your help is highly appreciated.

Can I change the table name in a mapping without redoing the connections?

Hi All,
I have a mapping that connects table A to table B_old. Is there a way change table "B_old" to "B_new" without altering any of the connections? (in other words, I just want to swap out the table)
Thanks
irene

You can rename the table within the mapping and then synchronize it with the new table, using the option "match by names". The fields must have the same names as the new table fields. New fields will be created in the table.

How can I get the logoff time of each db user from system view?

I can get the logon_date from gv$session.
Now,I want to get the logoff_date from some view or table.
I know that I will get it with trigger.
But,I am not will to user trigger for it.
Who can tell me which view or table will show the info?

But,I am not will to user trigger for it.Are you saying you are not willing to fire a trigger to gather this information?
I don't know of a table, if one exists, someone will know.
I say until you find a table, just write a SYSTEM TRIGGER on LOGOUT and place this information in your own table.

poelger is right, use GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY either with QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME for the Query-table or with DML_DATA_TARGET_NAME for the DML-target

Changing the table name while drill down at the dashboard query

I have a DAY fact table that has about 1B rows.
The purpose of this table is to store on hand quantity for each item per day.
On the presentation layer I have a dashboard that will display average on hand qty per year and then user can drill down to quarter/month/week and then by day level to see the actual value at evey level.
Its hard to run aggregation on fly as all my 3 TEMP tablespace 32gb each filled and then I get error can not extent TEMP file.
So I thought I will do the aggregation at the database level and store the aggregated data in another table. So at first dashborad will read this new aggregated table to display qty at yearly. As soon as user drill down to quarter the dashbord should query the actual DAY fact table by filtering for specific year and quarter.
IS it possible? Can I change the table name while I drill down to lower level?
Thanks in advance.

Hi use,
Yes. This is possible in OBIEE. You need to use Action Links to have navigation between reports. The main idea is to have 2 analysis. One with your aggregated data by year (using your aggregated table), and another one with the rest of the hierarchy and data (using normal fact table)
You add an action link on this report, that can navigate to the second report. showing "the details" (in your case would be the rest of the time dimension).
Please refer to http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/07/obiee-11gr1-action-framework-and-conditions/ for actions links.
Another way is to create 2 analysis, then go to the 2nd analysis, and filter the column year as "Is based on results of other analysis" and you select there the first analysis. In this case when you click on the year in the first analysis, this value will be passed to the second analysis so you can filter the rest of the hierarchy based on the year you clicked on the first analysis.

Get the table names from a specified schema name

Can't any one can hlep me how to use OCIDescribeAny() to retrive the list of table names for a given schema name?
I have problem when I connect to the database using syste as usr id. I can't ge the table name form the SCOTT schema.

If I understand you correctly, I don't think OCIDescribeAny() is the way to go.
You can get a list of tables owned by a particular schema by using the following SQL:-
SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM DBA_TABLES WHERE OWNER = 'SCOTT'
Just change the where clause to your needs.

The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost. I can see the network in my connections and connect to it. How do I get it back to the orginal name and password. I have an HP laptop

The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost. I can see the network in my connections and connect to it. How do I get it back to the orginal name and password? I have an HP laptop.

Chances are, there was a signficant power surge or voltage fluctuation just before the power went out. This type of thing can cause the AirPort Extreme to reset back to default settings.
If this occurs, your only option is re-configure the device again, just as you did originally.
In order to improve your chances this next time this happens, (especially if you live in an area where thunderstorms are severe), a good quality surge suppressor / voltage limiting power strip will really help, and may save you the entire device or a nearby computer next time something like this occurs.

Can the table name in a cursor be parameterized?

I would like to do the following in pl/sql
Procedure my_proc ( varchar2 table_name) is
CURSOR my_cursor ( table_name VARCHAR2 ) IS SELECT some_column FROM table_name ;
i.e. parameterize the table name. I know it is possible to parameterize the SELECT cause by doing the above but, as written, my example will not compile. So, I'm wondering if it is even possible to create a cursor like this.
Thanks for any help/advice,
-=beeky

I wanted to add that I have no control over the database design. The reason I want to parameterize a cursor is to allow a single procedure to do exactly the same thing to six tables. These tables contain data for different geographic regions and are supplied by an outside party. My script essentially merges these tables into our relational model.
Thanks again to all who replied,

How to get the table name of a field in a result set

So far as I'm aware, you can't get metadata information about the underlying tables in a query from Oracle and/or the Oracle drivers. I suspect, in fact, that the driver would have to have its own SQL parser to get this sort of information.
I'm curious though-- how do you have application logic that depends on the name of the source table but not know in the application what table is involved? Could you do something "cheesy" like
SELECT 'tbl_customerRegistration' AS tbl1_name,
tbl_customerRegistration.*
