Confused on SQL Expressions

(Actually, CR10, but I don't see a forum for it here...)
I just realized that I can use StartsWith in Crystal to get this functionality, but I still want to figure out how I could make it work, if at all.
<!break>
I have an Oracle query that contains the following expression:
<pre>Medicate.gpi like '65%'
     OR Medicate.gpi like '6299%'
     OR Medicate.gpi like '6010%'
     OR Medicate.gpi like '6020%'
     OR Medicate.gpi like '6099%'
     OR Medicate.gpi like '57%'</pre>
I tried to put that into a SQL Expression, but got various errors, such as "FROM keyword not found" or "missing right paren". Should this have worked? Would it have worked if I had written it a different way? Thanks.

Hey Garrett,
    You're close, just no cigar. 
Go to Reports/Record Selection/Records and paste it there.
This becomes part of the "where" clause.  The SQL Expression is part of the "select" portion, so Crystal was wondering where to select what you want "from"   
    Smoke'em if you got'em,

  • Using SQL view From SQL Express in Flex

    Hello All ,  i am new at Flex and yet searching for a basic answere to even more basic question...
    i am currently looking for a way o extract and import SQL views from my SQL Express database ( on my local host) and present it with RIA on desktop, grpahs Charts etc.
    my question is, which way is the best to do so ? 
    need i to use Coldfusion For the Data ?  and then Flex3 For the design ( i.e Graphs)?
    or maybe using another ODBC program for XML file and then Connect it as Data Resource into the flex3 project
    as you must see , i am a bit confused....
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
             If you go for AIR you can directly connect to Database and you can get the data and can be shown graphically ,
             But if you Go for Webapplication(Flex ) then definately u should use some backend like CFC,PHP,JAVA,.Net............ in order to connect to DB and use Remote Objects/HttpService and show the Result Graphically..............

  • SQL Expression in decode function or case statement?

    Can I put SQL expressions in decode function or case statement?
    For example,
    select le.profile, decode( select count(1) from profile_data where NAME= 'XXXX_AFTER' and object_id = le.profile, 0, 'N', 'Y')
    from element le;
    or
    select le.profile, case WHEN ( select count(1) from profile_data where NAME= 'XXXX_AFTER' and object_id = le.profile) = 0 THEN 'N'
    ELSE 'Y'
    from element le;
    None of the above work.
    Can anyone tell me how to make it work?
    Is there any workaround?
    Thanks,
    J

    You simply needed and END to your CASE statement;
    SQL> with profile_data as (
       select 'XXXX_AFTER' name, 1 object_id from dual),
         element as (
       select 1 profile from dual union all
       select 2 from dual)
    select le.profile,
       case WHEN ( select count(1) from profile_data where NAME= 'XXXX_AFTER' and object_id = le.profile) = 0

  • SQL Expressions in RAD -Getting error during runtime while generating rpt

    Hi
    We have just migrated from WSAD to RAD Version: 7.0.0.7. 
    The issue is: I am getting the error at the runtime when I am trying to use the SQL expression in my one of the report. The SQL Expression feature is not supported by this version of RAD. I checked the Help contents. It says
    Field Objects: SQL expression fields
    This report contains SQL Expression fields. These fields are not visible in this version of the Crystal Reports designer, but they will be evaluated by the system when the report is executed. New SQL Expression fields cannot be created by the designer. SQL Expression fields will remain in the .rpt file after saving and can be edited by other Crystal Reports designers
    To me it seems you can use the 'SQL Expressions' in the report using some Crystal Reports designers and at the runtime it will be evaluated. So I edited my report with some Crystal Reports Designer and tested it on WSAD. It worked fine. Now since we have migrated to RAD, this is an issue since I am getting the following error:

  • First time an SQL expression is placed on report a DB SELECT executes

    The same problem can be created using the normal Crystal Reports XI Release 2 developer environment and/or code (not only a code issue). I'm using CR XI.
    Symptom:
    We dynamically auto generate SQL Expressions, Tables, Joins, Formula's and anything through C# and place it onto the Crystal Report through code via run-time user input in a web environment. I recieved a notification from one of my DB admins that crystal reports is causing massive memory consumption via unknown SELECT statements that have no joins and/or WHERE criteria.
    Some Detective Work/More Info:
    After using Microsoft "SQL Profiler" along with Crystal, I understand what is happening but don't know the "work around" to make Crystal stop executing the following SELECT scenario.
    Anytime I create a new "SQL Expression" for the first time and then physically "drag and drop" it onto the report then Crystal is executing a "silent" SELECT statement against the database in the design environment. I'm calling it "silent" because I need MS SQL Profiler to see it happen. I'm guessing that this is used for validation or something but this is causing problems when automatically generating a report in a production environment.
    Steps to re-create:
    1. Open MS "SQL Profiler" and get it running. (will show Crystal Engine silently executes the SELECTS)
    2. Add a new "SQL Expression" to your report.
    3. Drag and Drop your new "SQL Expression onto your report
    4. You will see that Crystal has created an SQL query and executed it against your database in design environment.
    The Problem:
    I can see under normal circumstances why you might want this funtionality (if it's actually used for the Crystal Engine to validate your SQL Expression). But, What also makes this functionality horrible is that on my behalf Crystal is creating these SELECT statements and using cross joins which is a major problem in a production environment. As a result, huge record sets are being created on our DB Server. I don't believe that this has any purpose in a production evironment when the cross-joins can create huge amounts of results just for the sake of Crystal Internally validating a new SQL Expression placed onto a report. It would be nice to disable this functionality in production. I don't know a "work around" since these SELECT queries are created on my behalf by the Crystal Engine at design time (via code auto generation in production).
    Questions:
    Can this functionality be disabled to prevent a production server from incurring the execution of these queries?
    Anybody else notice this and have a "work around"?

  • SQL Browser not started in SQL Express 2012

    I just installed SQL Express 2012 on a Windows Server 2008. I downloaded the advanced 64bit installation file and selected all the options except SSRS. Everything seemed to install successfully including SSMS. I was able to connect to the instance locally
    and create a database. However, when I tries to connect from a client PC, I got the "not configured for remote connections" error. I went into Configuration Manager on the server and saw that that SQL Browser was stopped. But the Start Service option
    was grayed out. How can I enable SQL Browser?

  • How can I Purge in SQL Express database?

    For development purposes, we created a Hyper-V VM running Windows 7 with BizTalk Server 2010 installed running against a SQL Express database. We also installed Visual Studio (licensed) for map development.
    Over time, the BizTalk tables grow, and are taking up way too much storage space.
    I looked at the "Microsoft recommended" method of purging the BizTalk database/tables, but it requires enabling a DTA job in SQL Agent which is not available in SQL Express (as far as I know.)
    How can I purge the BizTalk tables in SQL Express to reclaim storage space?
    Since this is a development platform, I do NOT care about ANY historical data being retained, only "system" data (such as parties, etc.)
    Thanks!!
    Jim Barr

    You can use the various cleanup scripts to purge the database.  Details:
    http://biztalkscheduledtask.codeplex.com/
    Of course, you should not be using SQL Express.

    Aren't these rules equivalent to "Monday this week, where Monday is the first day of the week"? In which case the PL/SQL Expression you require is:

  • SQL Expression Question

    To the forum members
    In the Crystal Formula Editor, under Print State, there is a function called Previous.  This compares the contents of the current field to the previous one.  Is there a similar function in the SQL Expression Editor.  I'm trying to use a Case When statement to compare the current value in two fields to their previous value.  If these values do not match I need the SQL Expression to add 20 fields together and display the total.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Error using presentation variable in SQL Expression

    Hi all,
    I'm receiving an error - '...Error getting drill information...' due to a presentation variable being used in a SQL Expression. It probably has something to do with a data type issue. I've narrowed the error to the use of the presentation variable.
    I'm setting a presentation variable, pres_mth_nme_to, from a dashboard prompt. The prompt contains a month name.
    I'm using the presentation variable as part of a SQL Expression in a filter. The gist of the SQL Expression is to use the
    presentation variable in a CASE and set a value accordingly. For example:
    Column: Month Sort Value
    Operator: Between
    Value: *10*
    SQL Expression: *Case  @{pres_mth_nme_to}{some default} WHEN 'NOV' THEN '10' WHEN 'DEC' THEN '11' WHEN 'JAN' THEN '12' WHEN 'FEB' THEN '13' WHEN...END*
    The month name is character. If I were to hard code this, I don't recieve the error. For example:
    CASE 'SEP' WHEN 'NOV' THEN '10' WHEN 'DEC' ...END
    There something going on with the data type from the prompt and it being used in the comparison. If I use a CAST, the problem still exists.
    CASE CAST(@{pres_mth_nme_to} as char(3)) WHEN 'NOV' THEN ... END
    If I'm in Answers, the problem doesn't exist, I'm assuming because of the default values. If I'm on the dashboard, it does exist, I'm assuming because of recieving the prompt value.
    I don't know what I'm missing. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    DJ,
    if the formula presented by you is exactly true, i mean it was not fabricated to present as an example in the forum, you should include the presentation variable in single quotes.
    i.e. your formula must look somthing like
    Case '@{pres_mth_nme_to}{some default}' WHEN 'NOV' THEN '10' WHEN 'DEC' THEN '11' WHEN 'JAN' THEN '12' WHEN 'FEB' THEN '13' WHEN...END
    let me know if it did solve the issue...

  • OBIEE-Presentation Variable in SQL expression in a Column Filter

    Hi,
    I have the following:
    (1) A dashboard prompt having Month names like eg. October,July etc
    (2) I have declared a Presentation Variable by name @{Month}
    (3) A report is there where i have a column called 'Scenario' which has values like 'Actual','Budget','LE_Jul','LE_Oct' etc
    (4) In 'Scenario' column , i have given in the column filter-->SQL Expression as below:
    ('LE_'||SUBSTRING(CAST('@{month}{July}'AS CHAR(40))FROM 3))
    My end result should be like whatever month name(ex. July) is selected in the Dashboard Prompt, my scenario should be equal to 'LE_Jul'.
    I am getting Error like :
    State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.

[nQSError: 16002] Cannot obtain number of columns for the query result. (HY000)
    Pls give ur inputs if anyone has faced such an issue.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I checked that box in Connection Pool Settings.
    But now , though i have data for Scenario "LE_Jul", i still get No Results.
    Kindly let me know what else i am missing out in this regard.
    Thanks.

  • How to change sql expression of SQL-Calculated Attribute of view object ?

    Hi
    jdev 11.1.1.5
    I have a view object with a SQL-Calculated Attribute (sumAnalytic) how can I change sql expression of this attribute in runtime?
    for example in application module method??

    Hi Mr Timo
    Thanks for your reply but I do not need dynamic vo because I can not change all of my vo
    I only need to change expression of SQL-Calculated Attribute of view object in run time.
    For this I set expression in view object something like this 'select 2 from dual' and in run time in my AM method I get the vo query and replace 'select 2 from dual' with something like 'selet sum(amnt) over (partition by 1)' and set new query.
    But I think the better solution must exist
    Thanks
