Column alias for graph

Hi,
I have to display the project_value as Project Value in graph series in oracle reports 10g.
my column name is project_value it is exactly shown in report but i want to show as Project Value. If i give like "Project Value"(giving in sql*plus) its not accepting so in graph its shows with "_" as in block value.

I seem to remember that when you build the graph in Reports10g you can specify the column name in the graph. Havnt got the Report Builder with me at the mo so cant tell you more.

Column alias for spatial column within cursor loop using dynamic SQL

The following PL/SQL is trying to generate an error report for records or objects which are 3 dimensional or above.

Using column alias for calculations in same select list

Hi All,
I want to use a calculated column of query to create further calculated columns in same query using column alias. I have to do so because the calculation is too big to write it everytime.
e.g.
Select decode(Month, 1, Tran_January, 2, Tran_February, ....) as MonthTran,
Month, Year,
round(MonthTran/Intrest_rate, 2) as Amount <---(using previous alias)
from ledger;
Thanks in advance,
Mona

Probably the easiest way of doing this is to write an inline view, viz
SELECT l.Month
       , l.Year
       , round(mt.MonthTran/l.Intrest_rate, 2) AS Amount
FROM   ledger l
       , (SELECT x.pk_col, decode(Month, 1, Tran_January, 2, Tran_February, ....) AS MonthTran
          FROM ledger x) mt
WHERE l.pk_colunm = mt.pk_colunm
; If you have any criteria in a WHERE clause on ledger you shouldn't need to repeat them providing LEDGER does have a primary key column. You may need to tweak it a bit for performance, if LEDGER is a big table.

Alias for Columns

Hello,
I am using Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0.
I would like to have an Alias for my columns in a query.
The main column value is a date like 201204 the Alias which should appear as column heading when the query is run should be like Apr-2012
So I would like my output to be like
Apr-12 May-12 Jun-12
201204 201205 2012-06
I am using a query like
select '2001204'||' "'||to_char(to_date('201204','yyyymm'),'Mon-yy')||'"'
from dual;
This does not seem to give me the correct results. Am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks

fmThe names/datatypes/sizes and number of columns from a query is called the "projection" and is determined at parse time; therefore it cannot be determined by the data without using 2 passes of the data (one to determine what the projection should look like and a dynamic one to query the data again with that dynamically generated projection).
Essentially what you are trying to do is abuse the SQL engine, and it is really something that is best done by reporting tools that query the data and then process it to format the output based on the data itself.

If you don't explicitly specify a name for the output column, Oracle will try to generate one based on the input expression. If the name does not follow the normal rules for identifiers (one of which is that the name can't contain special symbols, like parentheses) then the name must be enclosed in double-quotes.
Notice that these rules are a little different from the rules about result sets. In the result set of a main query, for example, column names do not have to be unique, and a system-generated name like 'SUM(E.SALARY)" is acceptable.
Actually the book hasnt specfied the need for an alias at this place ...so i wanted to know why am getting this error ..I can't see which book you're reading. Post a quote. If the book is available on line, post a link, too.

Interview questions on column alias

Hi
Interviewer asked me this question.
Why do we need an alias for column and is it improving query performance?
I said
if we select columns with same name from different table, alias is useful but no way related to query performance.
is it correct? Please explain me on alias topic

Question about the Cluster and Column width in Graphs in Illustrator CS2

How do they relate to each other? How do the Percentages work together? Is there any information about how you can mathematically figure how much area each Cluster width takes. If you make a graph and make both the cluster and column widths 100%, the entire area is filled. If you make the Column width 50% the bar will sit exactly in the center of the Cluster width, but if you make the cluster width 75%, the bars move closer together.

Gregg,
The set of bars that represent each row of data in the graph spreadsheet is called a "cluster".
Let's let
   W = the width of the whole area inside the graph axes
   R = the number of rows of data
   C = the number of columns of data
Then the maximum potential space to use for each row of data is W/R. The cluster width controls how much of this potential space is assigned to each row. This cluster space is then divided by C, giving the maximum potential width of each bar. The maximum potential width for each bar is then multiplied by the column width percentage to get the actual width of each bar.
So the actual width of each bar is ((W/R)*Cluster width)/C)*Column width
The graphs illustrated below have three rows of data, with two columns each. The solid colored areas in the background have the same cluster width as the main graph, but they all have a column width of 100%. This lets you see more easily how the gradient bars that have a column width of 80% are using up 80% of their potential width.
Notice that as the Cluster percentage gets lower, the group of bars that represent a row of data get farther apart, so that you can more easily see the "clumping" of rows. When the Cluster percentage is 100%, the columns within each row are no closer to each other than they are to the columns in other rows.
As the Column percentage gets lower, the bars for each data value occupy less of the space within their row's cluster, so that spaces appear between every bar, even in the same row.

Comma in report column alias breaking PDF Printing?

It appears that some (but not all) special characters (e.g., a comma) in a report column alias causes an error when using PDF printing under "Print Attributes" for reports.
This query works fine:
select sysdate as "Date Today" from dual
But the query below causes the error "Adobe could not open 'report[1].pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged...":
select sysdate as "Date, Today" from dual
Does anyone know a work-around? My real alias is "Lastname, Firstname" so I would like to keep the comma!
We're using APEX 3.0.1 and PDF printing with Apache FOP.
Thanks ahead of time.
Cindy

Hi Cindy,
why not use the "Heading" property of a report column to show a speaking column heading? The column alias isn't really intended for that purpose.
Set the "Heading Type" to "Custom" then you are able to change them for each column.

@Column alias possible?

Hi all
is there a way to define an alias for an entity column?
I'd like to define a named querey in a super class. The 'where clause' of the EJB Query contains a field that has a certain functionality, but is not yet named (as this is the job of the subclass (developer)) - Anyhow, I'd like to prepare the query (cause it's all the same for every subclass) and use a columnname like 'defalutname' for the column I don't yet know the name of.
Later when setting up the subclass entity, I'd define something like this:
@Column( name = ..., ALIAS = "defaultname", ... )
... so the predefined queries would work with that entity.
@Entity
public class ... {
@Column( name = "shortname", ALIAS = "defaultname",
columnDefinition = "varchar(100) default ''",
nullable = false, insertable = true, updatable = true )
public java.lang.String getShortname() { return this.shortname; }
Any ideas how to get this work?
Ty in advance.

Hi,
I can't think of any way to do that in SQL.
In SQL*Plus, you can use COLUMN ... HEADING, with doubled double-quotes:
COLUMN     dummy     FORMAT     A20     HEADING     "COL1"" param=123"
SELECT     *
FROM     dual;Output:
COL1" param=123

Relational Diagram not showing Views column alias (R3.3)

This seems to be a change as well? When I build views I often alias the columns in the view query builder. I would like the diagram to show those alias names rather than the name of the underlying column. Otherwise I have to look at the DDL to see if I got the names the way I want them.
In previous version I thought it showed me the alias (I could be wrong?)

Hi Kent,
I logged a bug for that. It was added support for view header and unfortunately alias was lost.
here is a script you can use to copy alias to header alias. If you have header alias for all columns then header will be included in generated DDL for that view.

views = model.getTableViewSet().toArray();
for(var i=0;i<views.length;i++){
     cols = views.getElementsCollection().toArray();
     for(var k=0;k<cols.length;k++){
          col = cols[k];
          if("".equals(col.getHeaderAlias()) && !"".equals(col.getAlias())){
               col.setHeaderAlias(col.getAlias());
               views[i].setDirty(true);

Flexible column alias name?

Hi
Is that a way to assign the column alias name at run time.
Example: I want to sums a column and label it based on the current year.
For 2007, I should have:
SELECT
‘A’
‘B’,
‘C’,
sum(RESERVE_AMT) AS RESERVE_AMT_2007
FROM table_name
For 2006 I should have:
SELECT
‘A’
‘B’,
‘C’,
sum(RESERVE_AMT) AS RESERVE_AMT_2006
FROM table_name
For 2005 I should have:
SELECT
‘A’
‘B’,
‘C’,
sum(RESERVE_AMT) AS RESERVE_AMT_2005
FROM table_name
Etc.
For some reason I need a sql (something like above) in the procedure to be run in each year and populate a column labeled the current year concatenated with a fix string such as RESERVE_AMT_2007.
Thanks.

Try this...

mebs_temp10 tablespace mebs_tempt nologging as
SELECT
TRUNC(meddate) as meddate,
ctype,
btext btext,
COUNT (1) count_field,

Creating Alias for command which contains two piped cmdlet

hi friends
i use powershell 4.0. is it possible to create Alias for cmdlet which is piped to another cmdlet?
i need to use this command frequently:
Get-windowsFeature | select-object name ( to see only "name" column)
i checked & non of the following commands works:
new-alias myalias Get-windowsFeature | select-object name
or
new-alias myalias "Get-windowsFeature | select-object name"
any solution please?
thanks in advanced

You can't do that with an alias, it only works to substitute the name of a cmdlet or function, and takes a string value as it's argument. You can accomplish the same effect with a function, which takes a script block argument:
function myalias {Get-windowsFeature | select-object name}
[string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "
