Changing the Column names / alias

Hi,
I have an oracle query and it works fine.
select q.sname,
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,10,1,0)) as "0 - 5",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,9,1,0)) as "6 - 10",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,8,1,0)) as "11 - 15",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,7,1,0)) as "16 - 19",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,6,1,0)) as "20 - 20",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,5,1,0)) as "21 - 27",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,4,1,0)) as "28 - 30",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,3,1,0)) as "31 - 40",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,2,1,0)) as "41 - 45",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,1,1,0)) "46 - Over",
COUNT(q.sname) "TOTAL"
from task_core@cds t, cor_queue q, profile_core@crb p
where t.nmboxid = q.nmboxid
and p.ncodaid = t.nobjectid
and p.ntype=2
GROUP BY q.sname
ORDER BY q.sname
It generates a Cross-tab sort of result and I am using the decode function to generate the result.
My problem is that right now I am using hardcoded column names or alias for the columns generated by the decode function. eg. "0-5", "6-10" etc.
I have another table which contains these values ("0-5","6-10"). I would like to know instead of hard coding the column names like
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,10,1,0)) as "0 - 5"
can we retrieve the values from the Other table that contains the values "0-5","6-10" etc and display it there in the decode function?
Pls help me with this issue
Thanks

hi,
the column names are always fixed. You can try dynamic sql in pl/sql or spool then execute, but in pure sql, it is not possible

Hi,
Add the following CSS Code to the custom skin css file that is to be created as per the suggestions above.
*af|column::column-header-cell{*
color:Blue;
font-weight:bold;
This would ensure that all the table column headers are blue in color and bolder font style through-out the application.
By the way, what version of JDeveloper are you using?

Column prompts can be modified through the OAF Personalization screens. This will ensure you are declaratively setting the values.

Changing the column names displayed via an ODBC driver

Hi we are just starting to used Crystal Reports to improve the reporting capabaility of a legacy application, we can access the data fine using an ODBC driver. What we want to do is change the column names that are displayed within Crystal Reports so they are more user friendly and not in techno speak,, so that the users can create their own reports. Do we need to used Business Objects to setup a Universe to do this, is their a simple cheaper method sorry if this post is in the wrong section

Can you set up "views" in your database?Â That would probably be the easiest way to do this.

Dynamically change the column name....

Hi,
I am facing a problem in displaying name of the columns dynamically as a parameter selected from the dashboard prompt.
I have some facts which contains data according to the selected month (From Prompt).
As of now the column names are:
Curr, Next1, Next2, Next3 which displays the data for the months accordingly to the selected month from prompt.
Data is coming correctly but on the report the column name are displayed as Curr, Next1, Next2 and Next3 which I want to be displayed as the month name for which it contains data.
How can I do that? I have tried presentation variables to be used in custom heading but that is only as string.
Thanks in advance !!!
Regards,
S Anand

My scenario is little different, let me explain:
My columns will remain same but values changes (based on column formula) according to the selected prompt value
If I select 'Oct' from prompt then
Curr will contain data for 'Oct' only
Next1 will contain data for 'Nov' only
Next2 will contain data for 'Dec' only
Next3 will contain data for 'Jan' of next year only.
Later if I select 'Jul' from prompt then
Curr will contain data for 'Jul' only
Next1 will contain data for 'Aug' only
Next2 will contain data for 'Sep' only
Next3 will contain data for 'Oct' only.
I don't have different columns for each months but the columns are capable to reflect data for any month.
So, how can I reflect the column name as month name for which that contains data.

S Anand

Changing the Column Name in Criteria is not reflected on the Column Selecto

When we rename the column name in the Criteria, it is not being reflected on the Column Selector drop down list.

Since you have to add the columns from the presentation layer to the column selector view, my guess is you would have to rename the columns at the presentation layer to accomplish that.

How to change the column name of Data Entry View of CAT2?

Hi experts,
The requirement is to change the name of one of the columns in the Time Sheet: Data Entry View appearing on execution of t-code CAT2. What should be the procedure to do the same?

I came across the thread
CAT2 Worklist enhancement.
which aims to do the same. Does this method work? How is the problem mentioned in Step 5 of the final post to be resolved?

Changing the Column name of a table horizontally

Hi ,
I have a table named emp.
Empno Sal
10 1000
20 2000
30 3000
40 4000
I need the output like
Empno 10 20 30 40
sal 1000 2000 3000 4000
Note: It should work for any table. Also not the column & row mapping which should be synchronised like the original structure.

I dont want to go for pl/sql . It should work any table.You want Dynamic SQL without using PL/SQL? Tricky. I'm sure there's a possible way using some very complex and convoluted XML functionality of SQL but in reality you are asking for something that isn't natural to SQL queries, especially if you are expecting a dynamic number of columns to be produced for each row of data. SQL expects a table structure, including output formats, to be a defined number of columns with any number of rows, not a defined number of rows with any number of columns.
Perhaps if you explain why you need this sort of functionality then we may be able to offer a better solution.

Can the column names be changes dynamically in OBIEE presentation

Hi,
Is thr any way through which I can change the column names depending on the value of a column.
the table structure is
Plan_name Character1 Character2 Character3 ....
so here according to plan_name the meaning of each character column changes. And I want to display each type of meaning on the presentation layer.
I cannot create aliases as the number of different plan name is 1200.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Akansh Agarwal

Hi,
I haven't tested these options, but you might. Maybe you try to supress the header for your table with data. After that, create a second table, which will be used as the header, and insert the same number of columns as the first table.
So on the 'header' table, create a conditional style (Criteria, Column Properties, Conditional Formatting), pointing to the values on shown in the first table. (You maybe need the data to be queried in both).
If this does't work, you can try to adapt the javascript shown in this blog: DELIVER BI OBIEE 11g &amp; 10g , ODI , OBIA: OBIEE Table make a row BOLD with JAVA
And instead of making the row bold, change the value.
Hope this helps. Sorry if it does't work.
Best regards.

How to change the attribute name for a relation

When the Data Modeler engineers a logical model into a relational model it create table columns for the relations. The names of the generated columns are listed in the attributes list in the properties dialog of the relation. The actual name of the attribute gets calculated by the attribute name of the entity which is part of the relation. This is okay, if there is only one relation between two entities. But when there are two relations between two entities the second attribute gets a stupid number suffix. This makes it impossible to give the attribute a useful semantic meaning.
When I engineer the model into a relational model I can change the column name in the relational model. Changing the column name in the relational model is not perfect but it would be okay for me, if it would not be overwritten during the next engineering run.
So I have two questions:
How can I change the attribute name in the attributes section of the properties dialog of a relation? See here for screen shot:
http://public.ceving.de/2012050300/relationattribute.png
And if it is not possible:
How can I preserve any changes on column names in the relational model during a re-engineering run?
Edited by: 931739 on 03.05.2012 08:07

Hi,
I've logged an Enhancement request on this.
I don't believe it's possible to change it from the Entity or Relationship dialog, as it's not updatable in these dialogs.
What you can do is change it in the Relational Model, and then reverse engineer the change back to the Logical Model.
