Combine queries dynamically (union?)

Hello Friends
I got very tuff problem, plz help me out.
I want to combine some some query's using "UNION" oprator of SQL Server. Supposed we name it as SET 1.
Again I have to make UNION of output of SET1 with n number of SET 1 like query set.
In short dynamically I have to create differnt UNION OF SOME QUERIES & AGAIN MAKE CHAIN of such queries.
If any one have solution for it . Plz replay immdtly.

Thanx For Rplay
Actually I wan to get empids like id from multiple database. & Id Should not be repeated. I have used UNION option. But Dynamically database can be more or less if use more union query become so big. And StringBuffer Become so big. For execution it take time.
So I got one solution for it. I am fetching id from database & storing it in TreeSet Object.
Its very good idea to store record in TreeSet bcoz no Id get repeated.
I got unquie Id & futher I can process. It took very few minutes. If I use UNION it took too much time.
Thanx For ur response

Combined Queries

Hi
I have a query regarding combined queries. I am using BO XI R2 Deski. When i create combined queries, i have observed that BO is processing theses queries in the order from right to left i.e it is executing the last two queries first and then then the next right most and so on...
For example if i want to calculate (A Union B) minus (C Intersection D). I am unable to frame this query. When i see the SQL the order is different. Please advise how can i set this preference like first calculate ( A Union B) and ( C Intersection D) and then subtract bothe the result sets.
Thanks,
Raveendra

Hi Raveendra,
I Tried and able to perform operation Separately like (A union B) and (C Intersection D) and also succeed to put the result side by side but not able to succeed in finding the Minus of the results. Because as you said DESKI perform operations from left to right for each combined query.
I performed union and Intersection operations separately by using 2 data providers.
I used demo universe eFashion for union and intersection.
The Steps followed are as follows:
1. Select eFashion Take objects Year, Store Name, Sales revenue
2. Click Combine Queries and Take same objects because Union operation requires both queries Must have have same objects.
3. Union these 2 Queries Run The Report you will get the Union of 2 Queries. (A Union B)
4.Select New Data Provider (Data New Data Provider)
5. Select Universe you want  Take objects in Query C, I Took Same objects with different condition like (Year Inlist(2002,2003))
6. Query D with Condition (Year Equalto(2002)) you will get Results (Query C intersection D). Results that contain only Year Equal to 2002.
Now you have objects from 2 data providers together, Drag and Drop Objects from 2 data providers and put them at different places on Report now you can compare the results.
Here we canu2019t Minus the results because when you click Edit Data Provider, DESKI will Prompt you to select the data provider to Edit and hence we can perform edit operation on One data provider one at a time and not together.
I Hope this is useful.
Thanksu2026

Re : How to retrieve Combined Queries (RE Bean SDK) -XIR2 SP2

Hello all,
Hope all is well. I am kinda stuck here ...trying to retrieve Combined Queries from WebI Document. I just have 1 report , 1 DP, 1 combined query(union) with 2 nodes coming off of universe ( __NO__ Custom SQL).
Could someone give me sample code as how to retrieve this...I was able get DP and then Query container...then kinda got lost.How do I retrieve individual query and then get more information of an individual query like DataSourceObject.
QueryContainer qCont = dataProv.getCombinedQueries();
int operator = qCont ();
// getQueryContainerOperator
// then how doi I proceed further to retrieve individual query.
Thanks in advance,
Sam.

I don't have any code for retrieving the combined queries, however I have some code for retrieving the SQL from a dataprovider- it might give you an idea of how to get the combined query
oInfoObject = (IInfoObject) oInfoObjects.get(0);
// Initialize the Report Engine
ReportEngines oReportEngines = (ReportEngines) oEnterpriseSession.getService("ReportEngines");
ReportEngine oReportEngine = (ReportEngine) oReportEngines.getService(ReportEngines.ReportEngineType.WI_REPORT_ENGINE);
// Openning the document
DocumentInstance oDocumentInstance = oReportEngine.openDocument(oInfoObject.getID());
DataProvider oDataProvider = null;
SQLDataProvider oSQLDataProvider = null;
SQLContainer oSQLContainer_root = null;
SQLNode oSQLNode = null;
SQLSelectStatement oSQLSelectStatement = null;
String sqlStatement = null;
out.print("<TABLE BORDER=1>");
for (int i=0; i<oDocumentInstance.getDataProviders().getCount(); i++) {
     oDataProvider = oDocumentInstance.getDataProviders().getItem(i);
     out.print("<TR><TD COLSPAN=2 BGCOLOR=KHAKI>Data Provider Name: " + oDataProvider.getName() + "</TD></TR>");
     oSQLDataProvider = (SQLDataProvider) oDataProvider;
     oSQLContainer_root = oSQLDataProvider.getSQLContainer();
     if (oSQLContainer_root != null) {
          for (int j=0; j<oSQLContainer_root.getChildCount(); j++) {
               oSQLNode = (SQLNode) oSQLContainer_root.getChildAt(j);
               oSQLSelectStatement = (SQLSelectStatement) oSQLNode;
               sqlStatement = oSQLSelectStatement.getSQL();

Prompts for Combine similar request (Union query)

I have been given 5 tables for creating one report out of each table. I created aliases and
necessary self joins. I now need a summaryreport that combines these five tables. I tried the
"combine similar request" and the report functions fine. Now I have to create two prompts, one for
country and one for job. These are fields available in 4 tables and have the same format alongwith
the same datatypes. Please help me with this.
Table 1 Report A
Table 2 Report B
Table 3 Report C
Table 4 Report D
Table 5 Report E
Table 1 - Table 4 contains Country and Job field which is of the same format and datatype.
Table 5 does not have these and its not necessary for us to prompt this.
This has no star schema setup and I am not in a position to get it done as well. I considered each
table to be a fact table and created aliases, selfjoins etc. Please help with the procedure to
create the two dashboard prompts. If I choose USA then the first four amongst the union queries
should reflect data for the USA. The same applies for Job.

Hello
Thanks for the reply.
My problem here is that I have 5 different tables with country fields in them. They are of the same format and datatype but there is no join between these tables. If I choose one Country field from any particular table, then the combine similar request doesnt seem to take it for other queries where the fields come from a different table.
eg.
Table 1 - table 5 have country fields
I choose to create a prompt based on Country from Table 1. The union query doesnt seem to reflect on filtering values on the queries from other tables. It would filter only the values from table 1.
Please let me know as to what can be done!

Combined Queries in BO 4.0 WebI

Hi,
I am creating a combined query in the report query panel. Query 1 has combined query 1 and combined query 2 with UNION Operator.
The combined query 1 has one dimension from Table1.Col1. The combined query 2 has one dimension from Table2.Col1.
When clicking the view script i am expecting the query to be as
select Table1.Col1
from Table1
union
select Table2.Col1
from Table2
But the webi is returning the query like below.
select Table1.Col1
from Table1, Table2
where Table1.Col1 = Table2.Col1
Union
select Table2.Col1
from Table1, Table2
where Table1.Col1 = Table2.Col1
Can anyone please suggest why it is joining both the tables? Any settings has to be done in the CMC to avoid this join?
when creating a union query in the universe with these tables no joins are formed.
Please help me on this. Thanks in advance.

This is really very strenge could you please check the parameter value in the file<Parameter
COMBINED_WITH_SYNCHRO
it should be yes.
Also, please check if this the universe spacific problem or happening with all the universe. Did you check with taking other dimention value in the combind query.

Combine Queries in one workbook

Hi guys,
I am looking for a way to combine multiple queries in one workbook.
For example: If I set a filter in one query to the month November, the same filter (e.g. November) should apply to all other queries (which are on another worksheet or on the same worksheet).
How can I do this?
Many thanks,
Sabin

Hi Sabine,
You have two options:
1. the easy one is to use same variables in the refresh screen for all queries in the same workbook; if you do this, then use the "refresh all queries" option, you will get the same restrictions applying to all queries in the workbook simultaneously.
2. the more difficult way to do this is to use a lot of Visual Basic. Using Visual Basic, you can "read" the filter value set on a particular query, then "apply" that filter value to every other query in the workbook. OR, you can use the "Copy Filter Value" function. I prefer the latter for a number of reasons.
From your earlier notes, I assume you want to use option 2. To help you further, it would be useful to know what version of BW you are using, and how your users typically refresh queries (i.e., with a button in the workbook, or using the Business Explorer toolbar?).
It would also be helpful to know your level of comfort with VBA in Excel.
Here are some notes on the "Copy Filter Value" function:
Function SAPBEXcopyFilterValue(fromCell As Range, Optional atCell As Range) As Integer
Return value of zero indicates that no errors were encountered. Otherwise, function returns number of errors encountered.
If atCell is not specified, the active cell is used to determine which characteristic to return information for. If the active cell is not part of a query definition, then function returns an error state.
Characteristics (fromCell and atCell) must have same technical name; for example, cannot copy filters for Ship-to (0SHIP_TO) in Sales cube to Ship-to (YCOCUSSH) in a Shipments cube
Queries (copying from and to) must be in same Excel Workbook.
Sub CopyFilterOnce()
Dim filterRng1 As Range, filterRng2 As Range
    'in this example, we are copying filters from query on sheet
    'with code name Query1 to query on sheet with code name Query2
    Set filterRng1 = Query1.Range("F10")
    Set filterRng2 = Query2.Range("D13")
    retVal = Run("SAPBEX.xla!SAPBEXcopyFilterValue", filterRng1, filterRng2
End Sub
Hope this helps.

Combining queries.

Hi,
Is there a code when we can combine the following three queries in one and imprrove performance
DATA: XAUFPL LIKE AFKO-AUFPL,
XARBPL LIKE CRHD-ARBPL,
XARBID LIKE V_QAPO-ARBID.
SELECT SINGLE AUFPL FROM AFKO INTO XAUFPL WHERE AUFNR = '007200000059'.
SELECT SINGLE ARBID FROM V_QAPO INTO XARBID WHERE AUFPL = XAUFPL AND VORNR = '0020'.
SELECT SINGLE ARBPL FROM CRHD INTO XARBPL WHERE OBJID = XARBID.
WRITE: / XARBPL.

you can try this:
SELECT SINGLE CRHD~ARBPL
FROM AFKO
INNER JOIN V_QAPO ON V_QAPOAUFPL = AFKOAUFPL
INNER JOIN CRHD ON CRHDOBJID = V_QAPOARBID
INTO XARBPL
WHERE AFKO~AUFNR = '007200000059'
AND V_QAPO~VORNR = '0020'.
WRITE: / XARBPL.
Hope it will be helpful
Thanks

Combined Queries in Crystal

I need to create a report that answers multiple questions:
Step 1: List markets where product is distributed by CompanyA
Step 2: List top 250 markets based on overall product sales across all companies
I then wish to create a report which contains a union of markets in Steps 1 and 2. Is this possible, and if so how?
All help is appreciated.

Yes it can be done you need to use a command object in Crystal to create you union
Select , field1, field2, field3 etc..
from tablea where company = 'Compnay A'
Union All
Select Top 250 field 1, field 2, field 3, from table A
not sure which database you are using but this could wourk for you with some modifications

hello my query below is not working for my cf application can
you help?
thanks
this is my previous question so i tried to do it my self.
tcase_req.tcase_req_id is added
tcase.case_id=tcase_req.case_id :note that this is not part of the
inner join in the from clause. it does not depend on the rest of
the inner join.
the reaon for this is that i need to get
WHERE tcase_req.case_req_typ_cd = cwc and
tcase_req.case_req_typ_cd = cwnc
here is the original question
Hello ,
I need help again on the inner join/and conditions in the
where clause
I have these 2 tables tcase and tcase_req where there common
field Is the case_id.
tcase is the parent table and the tcase_req is the child
table.
(1)I wanted to add this to the from clause using the inner
join table . what do I do and where do I put it
(2)I then need to put a condition in the where clause to
replace
WHERE TCASE.CASE_NBR Like '%HPOZ%'
AND TCASE.CASE_NBR = 'DIR-2004-4269-HPOZ-CCMP'

Link queries dynamically in a work book

Hi,
I have a workbook which has two queries (both of type transaction data), embedded. Both of them have a document number which is unique and could exist in both the queries. I want to link the two queries and in my third sheet in the work book I want to print Key figure values of both the queries if two key characteristics ex: doc number and date are the same. Please let me know if there is any thing to be done in the Bex analyzer side other than a "Vlookup" in excel.
Thanks

You can use excel macros to achieve this.

Combine queries instead of join

disregard.
Edited by: Jay on Jan 20, 2011 8:12 AM

It is always helpful to provide the following:
1. Oracle version (SELECT * FROM V$VERSION)
2. Sample data in the form of CREATE / INSERT statements.
3. Expected output
4. Explanation of expected output (A.K.A. "business logic")
5. Use \ tags for #2 and #3. See FAQ (Link on top right side) for details.

Can we combine prompt values in Webintelligence Report(Combined Q:Union)

Hi Every One,
I had 4 Queries which are combined queries(Union).When i run the report ,displaying prompt values which are there in first Query.Can't we get combined prompt values when i run the report.I will explain with Scenario.
Eg:
Q1:Product level Country Information
Prompt Values:Country(A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H)
Q2:Component level Country Information
Prompt Values:Country(A,B,C,D,E,F,L)
Q3:Product level Source Information
Prompt Values:Country(A,B,C,D,E)
Q4:Product level Country Information
Prompt Values:Country(A,B,C,D,E,F,M)
When i run the report iam getting prompt values for country as (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H)
Could you help .
Regards,
Swapna.

I'm having trouble understanding your scenario as you explain it.
You are doing a union of the queries?
So create query A, combine queries, union, create query B, etc.
All of them use the same prompt message?
So you either build the condition and reuse the same prompt message or you use a filter from the universe.
In this case it is not possible to specify something different for each of the various subqueries.
So you would have only one prompt answer, being whatever you answered to the prompt.
If you have different prompt messages, you can give different answers, but then you have 4 prompt answers to display.
It would be logical that only the first one is displayed if that is the one you display, you should display all four.
If you just want to display the superset of countries which have been retrieved by the query you can put this information in a separate table block. If you make it a horizontal one, without borders, you should be able to come close to a normal prompt layout.
Good luck,
Marianne

Help with using dynamic sql logic in a view please?

Greetings,
I want to create a dynamic union using all the databases on server. The following works:
declare @sqlvarchar(max)
select
@sql=IsNull(@sql+'union
all ','')+'select
* from '+name+'.[dbo].[A]''
inner join '+name+'.[dbo].[B]'' on
a.f1=b.f1'
from
sys.databases
where
name
in(select
name
from
sys.databases)
exec
(@sql)
The problem is I need something tangible, like a view, to query using SSAS later. I've tried to use SELECT into to load a new table with a resulting dataset. It gives me a syntax error - the dynamic part can't be combined with static. I can't use OPENQUERY
because it all happens on the same server. Assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

Well, you could regenerate the view each time a database is created or dropped.
Or you can define your cube using an empty view and load the cube using SSIS, eg with
Dimension Processing Destination.
Or you can use something like a CLR TVF inside your view.

SQL query error using Union

Hello!
I need some correction in the following query. I am trying to make a 2 page QPLD so I am joining 2 queries and then printing the report into 2 pages.
SELECT T0.[U_OANumber], T0.[custmrName], T0.[U_Inspection], T0.[U_Cust_PO_Num],
T0.[U_ModelType], T0.[U_Duty], T0.[U_NamePlate],
T0.[U_Indicator_Obs], T0.[U_Fastners], T0.[U_Mounting_Type], T0.[U_Casing_Orientation], T0.[U_Impeller_Dia],
T0.[U_Bearing_Style], T0.[U_Motor_HP_Size], T0.[U_InsulationWedges], T0.[U_Varnish], T0.[U_Paint_Shade],
T0.[U_PlugsSeal], T0.[U_Remarks], T0.[U_Despatch]
FROM OINS T0 WHERE T0.[U_OANumber] = '[%0]' or T0.[customer] = '[%1]' or T0.[manufSN] = '[%2]'
Union all
SELECT T0.[U_ModelType], T0.[U_Size], T0.[U_Discharge], T0.[U_Head], T0.[U_RPM], T0.[U_YOM], T0.[U_HP],
T0.[U_Amps], T0.[U_Insulation_Class], T0.[U_Winding_Connection]
FROM OINS T0 WHERE
T0.[U_OANumber] = '[%0]' or T0.[customer] = '[%1]' or T0.[manufSN] = '[%2]'
Do I have to use the where clause just once since it is identical to both statements?
I get the error stating that all queries using Union, Intersect or Except must have an equal number of expressions. what does this mean?
scorp
Edited by: scorpion 666 on Feb 12, 2009 1:30 PM

Union has to have exact same numbers of fields to combine two results. Your query shows no need of union because your where clauses are identical.
Right syntax would be like this:

TOPN filter on two combined cubes

Hi guys,
do you know how to apply a TOPN filter on two combined queries like the one below:
SELECT saw_0, saw_1, saw_2 FROM ((SELECT Companies.Company saw_0, "Non Revenue Facts".Rooms saw_1, "Local Revenue Facts"."Room Revenue" saw_2 FROM COMPANY) UNION (SELECT "Travel Agent".Travel saw_0, "Non Revenue Facts".Rooms saw_1, "Local Revenue Facts"."Room Revenue" saw_2 FROM TRAVEL_AGENT)) t1 ORDER BY saw_1 DESC
The filter should be this one WHERE TOPN("Non Revenue Facts".Rooms,10) <= 10)
I tried to apply it on each query, but doesn't give the expected results.
the filter should apply for both queries.
Any idea?
Thanks!

Hello User,
