Constructing Dynamic Where clause:

Hi experts ,
In my real time environment in java code for a select query they they are appending dynamically to where clause and retrieving the data using hybernet .I want to do this in PL/SQ
1)is it possible ?
2)How can i do this one
3)Can you provide the sample document or example for this one .Please help me

1)is it possible ?Yes it is. But it is a HORRIBLE idea and explains, in part, why Hibernate is a piece of smelly +<insert derogatory term here>+ when it comes to performance, and scalability.
Dynamic SQL is very seldom a good idea. ANY reporting environment deals with IDENTIFIABLE questions that are asked and need to be answered. A so-called ad-hoc reporting environment where any query (no matter how idiotic and illogical) can be constructed is a FAILURE on the part of the business analyst and end-user to establish actual business requirements that need to be met. (and yes, there are a lot of these failures out there that know nothing about what analysing and determining business requirements are about, despite their job titles)
2)How can i do this one Using DBMS_SQL. Not that difficult programming wise. This in essence is what Apex uses for running web applications that provides report SQLs to execute and contents to be rendered.
If this SQL query is constructed on behalf of a client, then you need Oracle 11g - as the DBMS_SQL cursor variable that refers to the SQL cursor created, needs to be changed into a pointer (ref cursor) in order to be passed to the client.
3)Can you provide the sample document or example for this one.See Oracle® Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference guide for details and basic examples.

Dynamic Where Clause in SQR

How to construct dynamic WHERE clause in our sqr programming ?
In my run control table I am having parameters fromdate, thrudate [mandatory parameters] and location as [Optional Parameter] how can I declare dynamic where clause to achieve this could any one help me with coding ? Here is my sample coding
Begin-Procedure Main
if $prcs_process_instance=' '
do askvalues
else
do getvalues
end-if
End_Procedure Main
Begin-Procedure askvalues
input $frmdate 'Enter From Id' type=text format=number !Mandatory Parameter
input $todate 'Enter To Id' type=text format=number !Mandatory Parameter
input $loc 'Enter Location' value=text !Optional Parameter
End-Procedure
Begin-Procedure getvalues
Begin-Select
FROMDATE
THRUDATE
SQR_LOCATION
let $frmdate=&FROMDATE
let $todate=&THRUDATE
let $loc=&SQR_LOCATION
let where=-------------------------- ?
FROM
PS_PROCESS_TBL WHERE OPRID=$PRCS_OPRID AND RUN_CNTL_ID=$PRCS_RUN_CNTL_ID
End-Select
End-Procedure getvalues
Begin-Procedure selectall
BEGIN-SELECT
SQR_EMPLID
SQR_FNAME
SQR_LNAME
SALARY
FROM
PS_SQR_FIRST_TBL WHERE SQREMPID BETWEEN $frmdate AND $todate
END-SELECT
End-Procedure selectall

SQR will understand Where Clause as dynamic, when you include it in Square Brackets []
In your case, since fromdate & thrudate are mandatory values, I would code like this
let $frmdate=&FROMDATE
let $todate=&THRUDATE
let $loc=&SQR_LOCATION
let $Where_Clause = 'SQREMPID BETWEEN' || ' ' || $frmdate || ' ' || 'AND' || ' ' ||$todate
if $loc != ''
let $Where_Clause = $Where_Clause || ' '|| 'AND' || ' ' || 'LOCATION = ' || $loc
end-if
Now you can use this Dynamic Where Clause in which procedure you want. Only thing is you need to encode the where clause with brackets([$Where_Clause])

If you are using Apex, the for performance (and even query flexibility) it will be better creating a separate reporting region for each unique query. A boolean rendering condition checks the existing bind variables in order to determine if that specific reporting region should be executed.
This results in a reporting region having a proper and dedicated SQL query (no hacking of the where clause) and that region only being rendered for the proper combination of supplied filter criteria.
A slightly more complex, but more flexible approach, is using a generic reporting region that calls a PL/SQL function that creates returns the SQL query for execution and rendering. The approach to this is very similar to constructing a SQL ref cursor (dynamically) for a client. The only difference is that instead of creating the actual ref cursor, the code simply needs to return the SQL source code statement - with bind variables. The Apex run-time does the rest (does the binds and execution and rendering).
If you are not using Apex - you should still consider these approaches. And not hacking a single SQL to cater for all different types of filter conditions.

Dynamic WHERE clause in SELECT statement

Hi,
I need to extract (SELECT) all the products in different salesorganizations. Since a product can be available in more than 1 salesorg I have created several properties in the PRODUCT dimension - 1 for each salesorganization (naming: Sxxxx where xxxx is the salesorganization number).
Since I need to prefix the salesorganization property with an "S" I have created a property on the SALESORG dimension called SALESORG.
Therefore I need to create a dynamic WHERE clause in the SELECT statement. Currently my script is:
*SELECT(%SORG%, "[SALESORG]",SALESORG, [ID]=%SALESORG_SET%)
*SELECT(%PROD%, "[ID]",PRODUCT, [%SORG%]="X")
My first SELECT find the Sxxx (equal to the property I need in the PRODUCT dimension). My second SELECT uses the variable in the first SELCT statement to use the correct property for the WHERE clause.
Unfortunately the code is not validated - any suggestions?
/Lars

Hi Lars,
If you run it from a DM package without validating it, does it still work? I would bet it does.
If this is the case I would open a message with SAP (it would be an enhancement request). Until they fix the validation code, you would just have to live with the script not validating.
Cheers,

Dynamic where clause in select query

Hi
I'm trying for a dynamic query and in the dynamic where clause i'm checking a field for constant.....for instance if i wanna to use WERKS EQ '0478' how to declare it in dync where clause. i tried for the following:
SELECT (TAB_FIELD) INTO TABLE DITAB UP TO 10 ROWS FROM (TAB_NAME) WHERE (CONDI).
heree CONDI = 'werks eq 0287' . in this case the query fails as the werks shud be equal to '0287' and not just 0287. How to handle this? i tried for the following
CONDI = 'werks eq " '0287' " ' but no luck as it is not a valid stmt as i knew.

Dynamic Where clause in 4.6C [Literals allowed but not variables]

Good afternoon-
We have a dynamic select statement that works perfectly in 4.7 ext 2, but is causing a short dump in 4.6C. The error in the short dump says:
The current ABAP/4 program attempted to execute an ABAP/4 Open SQL

runtime in the internal table itab contains an invalid

HDR_COMP_CODE is in incoming parameter to the function module that is calling this code. It is of type BKPF-BUKRS.
Here is the code:

Well, in this case, unless I'm missing something, you do not requre a dynamic WHERE clause. You can use RANGES instead.
report zrich_0001.

How to add a dynamic where clause for a sql based VO with group by query?

Hi,
Here is my case, I have a sql query based VO with the query like "select status, count(*) StatusCount from my_table group by status". Now I used the following java code trying to dynamically add the where clause to my VO to filter the rows based the type attribute in my DB table.
vo.setWhereClause("type='MyType1' ");
vo.executeQuery();
Then I got the sql syntax error. Looks like the ADF has added the where clause to the end of my sql so my sql becomes "select status, count(*) StatusCount from my_table group by status where type='MyType1' ". But what I expected was the correct syntax "select status, count(*) StatusCount from my_table where type='MyType1' group by status".
Does anyone know if this is an ADF bug? Or is there any other way to achieve my goal?
Thanks,
Chunyang
Edited by: Chunyang on Dec 13, 2012 9:09 PM

Hi,
When you use setWhereClause on the VO, it is applied on top of the VO query. I.e, assume your VO has the following query.
select empno, ename from empNow, if you apply the where clause programatically, only the two attributes that you are using in the select statement could be used. I.e
select * from (select empno, ename from emp) where ename='KING' - VALID
select * from (select empno, ename from emp) where deptno=10 - INVALID (because the inner query - the one you've defined as query for your vo does not have deptno attribute selected)If you would need to set a dynamic where clause, you need to make them available in your select statement / use bind variables.

Dynamic WHERE Clause in a Calendar

I would like to have a Calendar display values based on a dynamic WHERE clause created using PL/SQL anonymous block evaluating the values of items that the user uses as filters. I have done this dynamic SQL for reports and would lke to do the same for a Calendar.

I figured out how to do this.
I created a Hidden Item with the source value of &APP_USER.
named P50_APP_USER.
This is how my query looks now:
SELECT * FROM APX_EVENT WHERE APX_EVENT.STORE_NR IN (SELECT APX_Z.STORE_NR FROM APX_Z WHERE APX_Z.USERNAME = :P50_APP_USER)
And it works.
I got the answer from this thread:
CALENDAR - SQL ORDER BY CLAUSE NOT WORKING

Constructing a where clause in my report.

I have a report based on a view, I also have a parameter call P_status and user can select multiple statuses. The status selected is based on a rule table.
Eg IF Status is active, the condition is
select empid from emp where termination_date is Null
If status is terminated the the condition is
select empid from emp where termination date is not null.
my report view is
select * from emp
where empid IN p_status.
In case of multiple statuses , how can this be achieved.
Thanks.

1. create a user parameter called p_where_clause (character 4000 and default value of 1 = 1).
2. Edit the query to include the reference to p_where_clause:
select empid
   from emp
where &p_where_clause2. in the after param form trigger construct the where clause (assuming p_status is a comma delimited string of statuses, ie. "Active, Terminated, Suspended"):
function AfterPForm return boolean is
begin
if :p_status = 'Active' --only for active status
   then :p_where_clause := 'termination_date is null';
   elsif :p_status = 'Terminated' --only for terminated status
   then :p_where_clause := 'termination_date is not null';
   elsif :p_status is not null --for all others
   then :p_where_clause := 'staus IN ('''||replace(p_status,',',''',''')||''')';
   else :p_where_clause := '1 = 1';
end if;
return (TRUE);
end;

How to create VO with multiple dynamic where clauses on select with UNION?

I am trying to implement the View Object for the UNION query that looks like this:
     select a,b,c...
          from t1,t2,...
          where dynamic_where_clause1
     union all
     select a,b,c,...
          from t11,t12, ...
          where dynamic_where_clause2
There are up to 60 input parameters that are used to generate dynamic where clauses. They are actually created by calling PL SQL function.
So far, I was not able to assign both where clauses to the view object. Is there a workable solution for this problem, besides resorting to programmatic View Object?
I understand that recommended way with UNIONs is to wrap both queries into a parent select:
select * from (
     select a,b,c...
          from t1,t2,...
          where ... -- table relationship joints
     union all
     select a,b,c,...
          from t11,t12, ...
          where ... -- table relationship joints
) QRSLT
     where dynamic_where_clause
Unfortunately this approach doesn't work here, since individual selects are producing unmanageable amount of data and resulting query takes forever to complete.

I afraid I would not have any real benefits from using VO if I replace the entire query with every request. Actually, the performance may suffer.
I solved the problem by creating a POJO Data Control and invoking the custom select query from java. Not sure if it is the best approach to the problem, but implementation time is limited and it works.
Actually, this is not the first time I see the need to implement VO with complicated SQL like select with unions and dynamic pieces. It would be nice to find a solution and not resort to workarounds.

Dynamic where clause in "delete itab where..." variant

Hi, I need to be able to delete the contents of an internal table based on a dynamic where clause. I don't want to loop through the entire table to test each record. Since the delete statement doesn't seem to allow a dynamic "where" clause I am trying to use a macro. I can't get the macro to work either.
I get the following error in my syntax check:
Statement concluding with "...FINAL_STATEMENT" ended unexpectedly.
Is there any way to get this macro to pass the syntax text or accomplish the dynamic delete?

Dynamic where clause in Loop

Is iot possible to use a dynamic where clause in a loop? If so how to you code this?
i.e. Loop at itab in wa where (dynamic_where_clause)...
    endloop...
Moderator message: please read ABAP documentation for your SAP release.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Mar 29, 2011 3:20 PM

You should be aware that a LOOP AT ... WHERE is not an optimized access .
+ because on a standard table there is not sort order,
   so the loop goes over the whole table and does
   something when the condition is fulfilled
+ it is optimzed for sorted tables, but only for one key!
=> so your idea must have bad performance!
If this is not a problem, then you can solve the problem
in the following way:
loop at table
   if ( dynamic condition )
   endif.
endloop.
But maybe is dynamic condition is not necessary, but
a some fixed if-conditions are also o.k.

ADF dynamic where clause for VO query using BC

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have a read only view object that I want to filter results based on some user choices. For example the user may want to see all results or they may only want to see a much smaller subset. This is for an error dashboard, the smaller subset maybe by application or maybe by application and by error severity. I think I can use a dynamic where clause but I'm not sure, Can someone get me started down the right path, or post an example that I can see.

Hi user,
You can use a dynamic where clause for this, but maybe there is a more practical option. Maybe you can have a fixed where clause, but using a bind parameter, like:
vo.application like :applicationParam. This makes an executeWithParams method available that you can call from your page, and use in the bindings. This parameter you can populate with the results of for example a poplist, with a default value of '%'.
When you do want to use a dynamic where clause, you will need to add a method to the java code of your application module, and make this method available for the client. In this method, you can use findViewObject to retrieve your VO, use VO.setWhereClause to set the whereclause to what you want, and then call VO.executeQuery. This method can then again be called from the page.
Success,
Jeroen van Veldhuizen

Dynamic where clause for MULTIPLE values

In the following of dynamic where clause?
i have some somewhat different problem.
Is a dynamic where clause for multiple values possible?
If the inputvariable varCode1,varCode2,varCode3,varCode4 are 0 then show all id's otherwise filter the resultset on var1 and/or var2,and/or var3,and/or var4.
Example table:
create table t
(d int,var int);
insert into t values (1 ,1 );
insert into t values (2 ,1 );
insert into t values (3 ,2 );
insert into t values (4 ,3 );
insert into t values (5 ,4 );
insert into t values (6 ,4 );
insert into t values (7 ,4 );
insert into t values (8 ,4 );
insert into t values (9 ,5 );
insert into t values (10, 6);
insert into t values (11, 6);
So what i want to change the where clause upon the value of the varCodes. If var1 and var are not 0 a "AND" should be used otherwise an "OR"
select id
from tst
where var = DECODE( :varCode1, 0, var, :varCode1)
or/and(?) DECODE( :varCode2, 0, var, :varCode2)
or DECODE( :varCode3, 0, var, :varCode3)
or DECODE( :varCode4, 0, var, :varCode4)

Dynamic WHERE clause

Creating dynamic where clause with string delimiter " ; "

hi...
i need a solution for complex problem like, 1. start_date IN date,
end_date IN date,
shift_type IN varchar2
i will get shift_type as "first_shift" or "first_shift;second_shift" or "first_shift;second_shift;third_shift" ....etc any combination. where fist & second & third shits are nothing but 1 , 2 , 3. i need to find out data between start_date and end_date in combination of shifts ( may be 1;2 or 1;3 or 1;2;3 or 2;3 ...etc) . now i need to write this code in dynamic where clause ...i tried in different ways...but not succeeded. can anybody guide me step by step...or with script.
NOTE: there is a table called "shift" with data like
shift_type shift_mode
1 first_shift
2 second_shift
3 third_shift

Hi,
Whenever you have a problem, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and the results you want from that data.
If the question involves parameters, give a few different sets of parameters and the results you want for each set, given the same sample data.
It's unclear that you need dynamic SQL at all.
If shift_type is a variable, that can be either a single value or a ;-delimited list (such as '1;3'), you can compare that to a column called shift_column like this:
WHERE ';' || shift_type || ';' LIKE
'%;' || shift_column || ';%'No dynamic SQL or PL/SQL required.
If you really do want to use dynamic SQL, these two pages should gives you some ideas:
