Convert the formula written in SQL

Our users are having problem with the below formula on Reports. I am not sure what this means. Our Users told that they need
(Tons Used/spread miles) * 2000 lb/ton = lbs/spread mile for their report.
And I see the below formula being used by our developer. Not sure how to read it though. Can any one let me know the formula used in the below code could actually represent the above formula. Users are complainting as below
from user ->column doubles or triples the amount if there are multiple records for the same truck/driver/beat/with the same amount for Dry Mat used and Spread Miles. If spread miles or the Dry Mat used is different if calculates correctly.
SUM (ROUND ((NVL (sim_trip.dry_mat_used, 0)) /
                  nullif(sim_trip.spread_miles_total,0) * 2000, 2 ))
            OVER (PARTITION BY sim_trip.trip_no,   sim_trip.dry_mat_code,        sim_trip.liquid_mat_code,
                               sim_trip.dry_mat_used,      sim_trip.liq_mat_used,         sim_trip.spread_miles_total
              )

OK sorry, but maybe the better way is to catch the ZERO_DIVIDE exception.
I think there is a problem with the parenthesis no ? shouldn't it be
SUM(ROUND((NVL(sim_trip.dry_mat_used, 0) / nullif(sim_trip.spread_miles_total,0)) * 2000, 2))instead of :
SUM(ROUND((NVL(sim_trip.dry_mat_used, 0)) / nullif(sim_trip.spread_miles_total,0) * 2000, 2))

How to convert the following query to sql server 2005

hi
i have the following query in ms access and i want to convert it into sql server 2005 express edition
SELECT iif(Max(BNo) is null,1,Max(BNo)+1) AS BNo from ( SELECT iif(Max(Product.BNo) is null,0,Max(Product.BNo)) AS BNo FROM Product union all SELECT iif(Max(grndetail.BNo) is null,0,Max(grndetail.BNo)) AS BNo FROM grndetail UNION ALL SELECT iif(Max(srdetail.BNo) is null,0,Max(srdetail.BNo)) AS BNo FROM srdetail ) as t
how to do this

The construct involving case when MAX sounds suspicious. Can you explain what the query is supposed to be doing, the structure of your table, then we can re-write it?
E.g. if you provide your table, some data and desired result, you'll get better answer than direct translation of this suspicious query.

To convert the "IBM DB2 Store Procs written in C" to Oracle PL-SQL

Hi, Is it possible to convert the "IBM DB2 Store Procs written in C" to Oracle PL-SQL. If you have any info, PL do let me know. Thanks in advance.
EG :
/* SMG Stored Procedures */
/* DB2 Stored Procedure: OrganisationExists */
/* Linkage: SIMPLE (no NULLs permitted) */
/* Load module name: SMGEC00 */
/* Purpose: DELETE FROM SSE_LOOKUP_MAP */
/* to run. */
/* Parameters: argvÃ1Â¨ short - return error code - OUT */
/* argvÃ2Â¨ char - return error message - OUT */
/* argvÃ3Â¨ char - BLEID - IN */
/* Reason for edit Date Who */
/* Initial version 09/04/03 Arockia */
#pragma runopts(plist(os))
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
void main (int argc, char *argvÃÂ¨)
EXEC SQL INCLUDE SQLCA;
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
char bleid??(12??);
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
/* Set defaults for error code (argvÃ1Â¨) and error message (argvÃ2Â¨) */
strcpy(argv??(2??)," ");
*(int *)argv??(1??) = 0;

EXEC SQL
DELETE FROM SSE_LOOKUP_MAP
WHERE BLEID = :bleid;
/* Set error code to record status of last SQL command */
*(int *)argv??(1??) = SQLCODE;
return;

For this program, you could do some thing like:

Table created.
SQL> CREATE or replace PROCEDURE test(p_bleid_in IN varchar2)

Can anyone help on this?
Thanks

1) Are you sure that you even need a temp table? Fetching all the rows from a cursor 1-by-1 and then inserting them into a temp table (I'm assuming the Oracle table TEMP is declared as a global temporary table) would seem rather unusual and most likely pointless. In Oracle, readers don't block writers, so there is generally no need to use temp tables to hold intermediate results.
2) If you do need to store a set of results into a table, it's going to be more efficient to do this in a single SQL statement rather than using a cursor. Something like
INSERT INTO my_table ( <<list of columns>> )
SELECT <<list of columns>>
    FROM <<other tables>>
   WHERE <<some conditions>>The SELECT part of the statement here is likely whatever SQL you use in declaring the cursor.

Convert to Formula - what are the benefits?

Hello Experts,
Can anybody explain to me in simple words what this function does? I have read in SAP Bex tools (by SAP Press) that it enables some custom formatting, inserting columns and allows for additional calculations based off of the query key figures. I tried to convert a query to the formula mode, but I lost all query functionality (no BW menu on rightclick, not able to add characteristics etc.), and the query doesn't refresh. Moreover, I was not able to switch this mode off...
What are the benefits then?
I am still fairly new to BI 7.0 and currently testing it's functionalities, and I am getting more and more frustrated at it's complexity which seems to be no longer intuitive
Thanks,
A.

Error Message while adding Item in Item Master Data- [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 's008 01' to data type int. (CINF)

end
-- Select the return values
select @error, @error_message
end

Hi Rathna,
Just put the SP like this, without the -- before the IF. A -- marks the line as a command therefore you need to uncomment and it will work.
IF @OBJECT_TYPE = '59' AND (@TRANSACTION_TYPE = 'A' or @TRANSACTION_TYPE = 'U')
BEGIN
   IF EXISTS(
    SELECT T0.Price FROM IGN1 T0
    where IsNull(T0.Price, '0') = '0' and T0.DocEntry = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
   BEGIN
    SELECT @ERROR=1,@ERROR_MESSAGE='Please insert the price !'
END
end
Hope it helps

Note that all Forms objects should be referenced indirectly, for example,
you have to rewrite
:B1.DEPT_CODE := :B2.DEPT_CODE;
:B3.TOTAL_AMOUNT := 100;
==>
copy('B2.DEPT_NO','B1.DEPT_NO');
copy('100','B3.TOTAL_AMOUNT');
This is the best way to share PL/SQL code among Oracle Forms.

Converting Cobol Programs to PL/SQL Packages/Procedures

Our company is trying to move away from Cobol and code all new projects and begin to convert old code to pl/sqlpackages/procedures. I was wondering if anyone in here had any experience in converting Cobol programs to Pl/sql. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have written a lot of Cobol and converted a lot of Cobol (not to PL/SQL though). But the mere thought of it, brings a song to my heart. :D
PL/SQL will be significantly faster and more scalable than using Cobol. It is also a lot simpler to design and code than using Cobol. Always found Cobol development very boring - except for the odd occasions when we had to design and write re-entrant Cobol code..
Just do not make the mistake of attempting a straight port - rewriting a Cobol program essentially line by line into a PL/SQL unit. Implementing row-by-row slow-by-slow processing into PL.SQL.
Without rethinking the process flow, the program design and so on, the resulting code unit will be little better than the original Cobol unit. Which begs the question, why bother and why use the new code then? In fact, seen this first hand back in the 80's when this approach was used to convert a pretty large system from Cobol to Natural. After many man years of development (and lots of money), the new system had all the problems of the old.. and was canned during the testing phase. Money, time and resources utterly and totally wasted.

How can i convert the firefox-history-timestamp in places.sqlite into a normal date format? The firefox-timestamp is not equivalent to the unix-timestamp, that's why I ask. I could not find a conversion function. Does anyone know something about this?

As I opened the places.sqlite with an sqlite-editor I found out that firefox saves the last_visit_date via a timestamp which is 16 digits long. I realized that the first 10 digits are similar to the corresponding unix-timestamp but not equal. So.. how can i convert the firefox-timestamp into a normal date? Or into the corresponding unix-timestamp?

Write a bash script or 'C' program to change the date format and then use the sql update function to receive the stdio output 'where date_field='embeded date value'.

How can i convert the data from mutiple-table to the other database(MSSQL)?

Dears,
How can i convert the data from mutiple-table to the other database such as MS-SQL?
I have a third party system based on MS-SQL 2000.
Now we want to make a integration between SAP R/3(Oracle) and SQL server.
When my user releases the purchase order in R/3, the application we coded will convert the releated data to the temp database on the SQL server.
But i don't know which tools will help me reach the purpose. BAPI, LSMW, IDoc... ???
Would anybody tell me which way is better and how to do?
Thanks a lot!

Hello Kevin,
The question to use which method depend on your detail requirements. If you use BAPI, you need to find which Bapi can provide the data you want. Bapi normally use as a function called by external system. So you need to develop an external program like VB/Java to call this Bapi and move it to SQL. LSMW is use when you want to upload data from an external system to SAP. So it does not serve your requirement. Idoc can be use to export data to an external system. Again like Bapi, you need to find what Idoc can provide the data you want. However, it does not any programming from the external system. If I were you, based on your requirements, I think writing an Abap program that read the data you want and download it to NT/SQL server will be faster and easier.
