Can't add a new column to LCD table? Option there, just wont add it.

I have a LCD form with a table in it. Im trying to simply add a new column to the table. The option is there but the column just wont appear after clicking add Column to Left. I selected a column, right clicked the space > Insert > Column to left. But wont intsert. The table object properties tab shows rows and colum numbers but they are grayed out.
See screenshots:

This is a dynamic table where a new row can be inserted using a button. Is that dynamic nature the issue? Id hate to undo all the dynamic flow and programming just to add a column then reapply everything.
Thanks!

Hi,
You don't add columns in the Object > Table palette (Screenshot 2). I suspect that the problem is that there is not enough on the page (within the content area) to actually add the column. In Screenshot 1, if you look at the width of the highlighted column versus the space available to the right of the table, you will see that a column cannot be added due to space restrictions.
Reduce the width of the highlighted column (temporarily), then add a column. Once added, you can resize the columns to match the page width.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Check 2 tables(Table A and Table B) and figure out new columns present in Table A and add these new columns to Table B

How to check 2 tables(Table A and Table B) and figure out new columns present in Table A and add these new columns to Table b.
DDL-
Create table A
( A INT,
B INT,C VARCHAR(2)
Create table B

Any advice on the best approach or method to achieve this.
I understand that I need to check the schema of the columns and then do a match between 2 tables and find new columns and then alter my target table
Mudassar

Can you try this..
CREATE TABLE A ( A INT, B INT, C VARCHAR(2) )
CREATE TABLE B ( A INT, B INT )
Declare @ColumnVar nvarchar(128),@DatatypeVar nvarchar(128)
SELECT @ColumnVar=x.COLUMN_NAME, @DatatypeVar=x.DATA_TYPE
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS AS x
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'A'
AND NOT EXISTS ( SELECT *
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'B'
AND COLUMN_NAME = x.COLUMN_NAME )
Declare @SQL VarChar(1000)
SELECT @SQL = 'ALTER TABLE B ADD ' + @ColumnVar + ' '+ @DatatypeVar
Exec (@SQL)
select * from B

Add a field in a form after creating a new column in a table

Hi,
I have searched extensively in the help menus and tutorials and maybe I have missed this, but after adding a new column to a table. How do I update the form so that when data is entered into the form it is populated in the table? Is there a tutorial or explanation of the process somewhere?
Thanks,

Hi
That has to be done manually but it is simple. Create a new item of the desired type e.g. Text Item, Select List by Right clicking on the region and select Create Page Item. A wizard will start where you will select the desired type. Press next and enter the name of the item. e.g. P3_LAST_NAME. Press Next and Enter a label for the Item. Press next and choose Source Type as Database Column when asked. Press Create button.
Hope it helps.

ADF - New columns in DB table need to be reflected in Data Control Palette

I am new to ADF. I am editing a JSF that does add and edit to data in database table. I added new columns to the table and need to modify the JSF accordingly.
I have not been able to find info on how to take a new "snapshot" of the database table that will reflect my new columns in the DataBindings.cpx.
Can someone steer me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Chris

Chris,
if your business service is ADF BC, then synchronize the EO with the database for it to pick up the changes. Once this is done, go to the VO and add the two new attributes. Right after that the data control palette will show the new entries.
If you use EJB as a business service layer, change the entity classto expose the two attributes, re-generate the session facade ad then re-generate the data control.

In the previous version, the menu table in table options, there is an option that gives me the option: the Return key moves to next cell. I do not see this option in the new number. can you help me please?

in the previous version of Number, the menu table in table options, there is an option that gives me the option: the Return key moves to next cell. I do not see this option in the new number. can you help me please?

Hi silvano,
If you use a regular pattern when entering values, press enter (return) after entering the last value in a row. That will take you to the first Body Cell of the next row.
Start in Cell B2
1 Tab 2 Tab 3 Enter
4 Tab 5 Tab 6 Enter
7 Tab 8 Tab 9 Enter
Now you are ready to type into B5 .
Another way that some people find easier is to enter one column at a time
Start at B2
1 enter
4 enter
7 enter
etc.
Now start with C2.
Use whatever suits your work flow.

Ian.

Dear thread users!
You have here (in my post in this thread - see above) good example for inappropriate post in one thread.
I posted to fast - I didn't realise am I sure what I wrote!
Consequence was that, after posting, I asked myself is it correct my statement about rights on SYS-objects, I started to search for answer, etc.

How to add new column in partition table

Hi,
In Oracle 10g Database, I have one table (X) with list partition . I have added one new column to "X" by "Alter Table" command. Please advise whether any other command needs to be executed since it is a partition table .
The "X" table is used for partition swapping with another table (Y). I have added the same column also in table "Y". Will there be any issue while swapping the partion with the following command
alter table X exchange partition partition_name with table Y
Version Details :
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 OS
Solaris 5.10
Thanks in advance

you would have to explicitly put that into the create table as select - the partition details.

Can you have a calculated column in a table not a view?

We have a table which contains a series of rows
Key   Effective Date   Value
1       10/Feb/2006     123
1       23/Oct/2006      456
...We have a requirement to store an indicator that tells us which row is the most current and what the end date of the preceding row was so that we get something along the lines of:
Key   Effective Date   Value   Status         End Date
1       10/Feb/2006     123      HISTORY    22/Oct/2006
1       23/Oct/2006      456     CURRENT   NULL
...I can produce this result quite easily using the analytic function LEAD. My question is, is the answer to this problem to create a view over the table that includes the analytic function or is it possible to define a calculated column in a table that would populate/maintain this vale as part of a table definition?
And as I finish writing this I feel I've answered my own question but hey, there's no harm in asking how others have handled this kind of situation.
Cheers
Richard

My bias would be to create a view that did the calculation.
In theory, you could add those additional columns to a table and maintain the data via a set of triggers, but that would be substantially more complicated than the alternatives for little or no benefit.
A third option would be a materialized view. That might be easier to deal with if you want to have different indexing strategies for current and historical records or if the historical data is queried often enough and updated infrequently enough that it ends up being cheaper to do the calculation once during the update rather than every time the query is run.
A fourth option would be to use stored procedures to maintain the data and have that stored procedure expire the current row and add the new row.
Finally, you might consider version-enabling your table using Workspace Manager rather than writing your own code since Oracle has already written all this code for you.

Best approach to publish new table or new column on existing table on MDW?

Hi,
I'm refering to Olite R3 without any patches. I don't use Java API, I use MDW.
if I have a new table or a new column on a existing table, what's the best approach to publish it?
I'm asking this because I've trying lots of approaches and the only solution was, step-by-step:
1) On MDW, drop the publication item
2) Add again the publication item
3) Associate the publication item to the publication
4) Save everything
5) File / Deploy (if I don't do it, it does not work)
6) Tools/Package... (that's where it's a problem: if I don't remove the app and create it again it does not work!)
7) on the client side, I perform a msync with "force refresh"
That's the only way I found to publish new items for sure. Any other action does not push the new table or new column to the client's embbeded DB.
Any comments?
Regards,
Maurício Américo Vernaschi.

I do not use MDW, rather a mix of java and the final publish step you use, but
Adding new PIs should be easy, just add them and re-publish (no need to drop anything)
for changes, if you just have new columns and the sql statement is 'select * from' then you should just need to make the changes in the base schema objects, and run the publish with no changes and the updates should be picked up. If selecting specific columns, then update and re-publish.
When using MDW at the end you can save the application as a jar file, and then use this jar file to publish in the mobile manager - this is the best wayto publish.
Have a look at this jar file in winzip, and you will find it contains a web.xml file. This is the xml definition of the publication items, and for simple changes it is possible to just edit this file and republish via the mobile manager

New columns in the table control do not appear

Hi,
We have a requirement to add two fields(columns) in a table control for a transaction upon clicking Create button and those two fields should be editable. We have added the two fields in the table control. But, they do not appear in the transaction ( If I delete an existing column, then I am able see the new column). Have checked everywhere, but not sure if I am missing something here. There is no hide statement used.
Appreciate help on this.
Thanks,
Pavan

Hi Pavan,
What I understood is you are adding fields to the table control dynamically.\
For that you have to use field-symbols to add fields to the work area dynamically.
( If this is not your actual requirement share your code with me I will try to solve it. )

Can i delete the Subtotal column in Cross Table?

i create a crosstab named: hr_count, used for counting different kind of employees.
and in 'crosstab expert', the 'column' area, i have 2 items: level_1 and level_2; the 'row' area has 1 item: department.
my problem is, there's always a 'subtotal' column at the last column of every level 1 area, but i don't need it, i can see the 'total' number at the very last column.
how can i delete or suppress this 'subtotal' column?
i know i can suppress the very last 'total' column by right click mouse and choose not to show this column, but it seems i can do nothing to the 'subtotal' column. or, i must keep this 'subtotal' column in the table?

Hi Stefanie Tan ,
You can suppress the sub totals, Right click on your cross tba and go in Cross Tab Expart--Customize Style tab here you will find Rows: and Columns; which will have fileds. Now click on Rows fields once you click on sub group field you can see suppress subtotal check box enables click in that check box and click on Ok. Now check for sub totals.
Thanks,
Sastry

Question about creating and updating new columns in a table

Hi, I have a couple of questions that would love some answers to
Please bear in min that questions relate to datawarehouse / Just large tables with say about 50 million records
1) How do you create new columns in a big table
2) how do you update the new columns
3) would you create an index on a column in a table with 200m rows when the only two possible values are stored in the column (e.g.Y, N) - give your resason
my aswers to these would be
1) simple alter table ...
2) simple update statements
3) No need to create an index
I might be wrong on these in the context of datawarehouse
cheers
css_jay99

If the number of Y vs. N is about 50/50, you only have to parse through 50% of the
overall amount of columns.Fnord. If the ratio of Y to N was 1:20 then the index would be useful for searching for values of Y only. Or if the column is nullable and the bulk of the entries were null then it might be useful. But a 50/50 split? FTS is much more effective.
So, it does depend on the data distribution, but in most cases such an index would never be used (or should never be used).
