Convert row of fields to column of fields?

Hi All,
I have a fairly sizeable SQL query that I've written to return a single row of results.
I.e.
Organisation : RateA: RateB: RateC: RateD: RateE
College X: 0.05: 0.15: 0.14: 0.11: 0.02
(note, the ":" indicates separate fields)
Is there a simple way of 'pivoting' this data into a single column? I need to convert it to a column so I can put the results into a chart in MS SSRS. I'm trying to avoid a union query because of the size of the original query which uses several sub queries. I've read about several solutions - xmlagg, listagg, cross join, but I'm not sure how to apply them? I'm not sure if these can be used though as we're on Ora 9x.
Sorry for the vagueness of this. Any help appreciated. :) :) :)

... As I'm looking to include this in SSRS 2005, can I use WITH, LEVEL and CONNECT BY in the SSRS SQL text editor?Sorry, I don't know anything about SSRS. Try it and see.
If WITH doesn't work, use an in-line view for cntr.
If LEVEL and CONNECT BY don't work, then don't generate a counter table at all; use any existing real table (or view) that you know will have at least as many rows as you need. Fpr example:
SELECT     CASE ROWNUM
         WHEN 1 THEN TO_CHAR (d.deptno)
         WHEN 2 THEN d.dname
         WHEN 3 THEN d.loc
     END     AS single_column
FROM          scott.dept     d
CROSS JOIN     all_objects     c
WHERE     deptno = 10
AND       ROWNUM <= 3
ORDER BY ROWNUM
;I've never seen an all_objects view with less than 5000 rows.
Generating the numbers using CONNECT BY is actually more efficient, but you'd probably have to generate thousands of numbers before you noticed a difference.

Not for that data, no. You have a set of characters with no information about 'order', so they could appear in any order.
If you had some numbering against them, you could pivot the data and concatenate them, but in truth even the concatenation symbol "||" is a built in function, as well as the functions needed to pivot it...

Update all rows in a View Column via one Apex Form field

Appreciate any helpful answers to this query.
I have an Apex App (4.x) where I have a view: PRICE_MODEL_CRA_V
In the view, I have the following applicable columns:
COUNTRY
GRADE
SALARY
In the form I have the following fields
:P16_COUNTRY (DROPDOWN)
:P16_GRADE (DROPDOWN)
:P16_SALARY (Number)
In my app, I have a form with an Update button. I am simply trying to get Apex to update all rows in the salaray column in the view, where the country and grade match.
I've the following code for the Update button:
UPDATE PRICE_MODEL_CRA_V
SET SALARY = :P16_SALARY
WHERE COUNTRY = :P16_COUNTRY
AND GRADE = :P16_GRADE
The option I have chosen in condition type is:
Value of Item / Column expression is NOT Null (as there are values in the column)
Also tried SQL Expression and it does not like..says that there is No Expression.
Thanks again if anyone can help :)

Hi,
Sorry I realize now that piece of information was not well supported.
If I choose SQL Expression for Condition Type in my Form Page and I try to Apply Changes
Apex says this..
•Failed to parse SQL query!
ORA-00936: missing expression
I was assuming that I need to have the colon for the items in the form where I am wanting Apex to grab the values entered by the user. I tried them without the colons with the SQL Expression condition and same result.
UPDATE PRICE_MODEL_CRA_V
SET SALARY = P16_SALARY
WHERE COUNTRY = P16_COUNTRY
AND GRADE = P16_GRADE
I did put 1-1/0 in my expression field and applied changes and then tried ot submit the form and it does not produce an error, so perhaps it is not being called? Where would I start with troubleshooting that?
Thanks,

Setting row level field in table using jQuery

Hi,
I'm utilising the following to read and then set values in the same row within a report.
Re: Referencing a row level field value in an Interactive Report using jquery
Consider the following snippet
// read information eg
var row = $x_UpTill(this.triggeringElement, 'TR');
var dateCompleted = $('input[name="f03"]', row)[0];
console.log(dateCompleted.value);
// write information eg
var dateBooked = $('input[name="f02"]', row)[0];
//dateBooked.value = 'xyz'; // sets to xyz, as expected
dateBooked.value = return_date; // sets the actual code, not returning stringAll works as I'd expect except the last line. I have a js function returning a formatted string (Set Date With Javascript but in this case my field now contains the actual code definition, not the date string the function actually returns.
I'm thinking I'm just misunderstanding a simple concept for JavaScript here?
A simple workaround could be to create field P0_SYSDATE, calculated to TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,:F_DATE_FORMAT), then apply
dateBooked.value = $v('P0_SYSDATE');but I'm trying to improve my understanding of javascript/jQuery...
Cheers,
Scott

So are you saying that return_date is an actual javascript function that returns the formated string/date you want?
If so, then I think you simply need parenthesis to run the function:
dateBooked.value = return_date();Or... am I missing something here?
Thanks

How to convert the text field into currency field

Hi,
I have an requirement to converting the text field into currency.
If I convert directly it gives dump.
If I convert this to Numeric means it takes the decimals also as whole value.
Is there any FM to convert the text field into Currency field.
Please advice me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am on an SRM sytem, which unfortunately does not have th FM: PSSV_TEXT_INTO_FIELD_CURRENCY.
But I also need to transfer a string value like '12,99' to a field with type curr.
Can i Do that manually, or is there another FM?
I have already checked code with write to or pack/unpack.
But without success yet.
Something like this:
DATA: g_str(11) type c.
DATA: g_p type p.
WRITE '12,99' TO g_str CURRENCY 'EUR'.
is no use for me. Finally I need to move g_str to my curr-field, which causes st22.
also: PACK g_str to <curr-field or g_p> dumps.
Help appreciated.

Converting Rows into Column in Oracle 10g

Dear frank,
Thanks for your support,.
It's working fine for static cases.If the first column is dynamic then how come i will resolve it.
Example:
Create table mytab (ID_C Varchar2(15),Value_N Number);
Records Population into MyTab table is dynamic.
Insert into mytab values('HO',5000);
Insert Into mytab values('PG1',2400);
Insert Into mytab values('PG2',3000);
Insert Into mytab values('PG3',800);
Commit;
SQL> Select * From MyTab;
IDC_ ValueN_
HO 5000
PG1 2400
PG2 3000
PG3 800
Then My expected result will be as follows
HO PG1 PG2 PG3
5000 2400 3000 800
Thanks and Regards,

How to convert row into column

Hi All,
My oracle apps version is r12 and db is 10 and i am using Bi publisher version 10g.
Is it possible to convert row into column in Rtf template,
My Query is
SELECT distinct pvs.vendor_site_code,sum(aia.invoice_amount)
FROM ap_invoices_all aia, po_vendors po, po_vendor_sites_all pvs
WHERE aia.org_id = pvs.org_id
AND aia.vendor_id = po.vendor_id
AND aia.vendor_site_id = pvs.vendor_site_id
AND aia.org_id=204
group by pvs.vendor_site_code
And output is like this
Vendor sitecode Invoiceamt
EAM-ERS 79240
STAR GATE - PAY 3245902.31
UPS - HQ 10792040.9
Like this
So in template i need the output like this
Vendor sitecode EAM-ERS STAR GATE - PAY UPS - HQ
Invoiceamt 79240 3245902.31 10792040.9
I tried to achieve the output using sql query but by hardcoding only i have achieved it, so i have tried to convert directly in RTF template.
can any one tell me is it possible.
And if new project is added from the front end ie(now the query will produce 4 rows but now in template i have created only three columns)
Is it possible to add a new column dynamically.
Can any one please guide me and tell me is there any example.
Thanks & regards

How to convert a date field with format (dd,mm,yyyy) to format (mm,dd,yyyy)

Hello.
How to convert a date field with format (dd,mm,yyyy) to format (mm,dd,yyyy)
I have text field which has a databind to a date field. When I click on it, we can select the date, it is added on the format (dd,mm,yyyy). When I want to insert this date field to a database It doesnu2019t allow me to do it because it will only accept date field on the format (mm,dd,yyyy)
I tried to store this format on a date variable and I get a message saying that is impossible to convert a string into a date.
Regards,
Jose

Hi Jose,
usually you format strings in c# like
string.Format("{0:yyyyMMdd}", insertyourstring);
in your case
string.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}", insertyourstring);
[look here|http://idunno.org/archive/2004/14/01/122.aspx]
there are more details
if everything fails split the string with Mid()

Name of built in unique row identifier field in Oracle

I believe that I read somewhere that each Oracle database table comes with a built in unique row identifier field. Could somebody please confirm whether this is true and if so, please tell me the name of that field.

Are you referring to ROWID by any chance? If yes, this may help with the relevant information - http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/datatype.htm#i8776
