Count NULL Records

Hi,
I am trying to count null records in the email field by using a running total. However, the running total is not calculating it correctly. I am using SQL Server and I have checked the database to make sure the cells are actually null and are not blank. What formula do I need to use to get the running total to work? I have tried isNull() and that didn't work. Here is my current formula:
{vwGenPatInfo.Patient_Email} = "" and
Next ({vwEncounterForms.Patient_ID}) <> {vwEncounterForms.Patient_ID}

1) Is this a running total field or did you create a manual running total?
2) Why are you comparing the next record?
3) Do you have "Convert NULL values to Default" turned on in your report or global options?

How can I get a count of records in a DB?

If I want to get a count of the number of records in a table how do I do it?

Generally, it's good practice to close the connection once you're done with it unless you have a reason to keep going back to it, in which case it probably becomes a performance issue. If you need to keep accessing the same connection repeatedly while your form is running (in Acrobat), I think you would be best to leave it open after initialization. You might consider placing the code which counts the records into a function inside a Script Object. This way, you can just call the Script Object method and retrieve the record count whenever you need it. Make sure you define the oDB variable outside the function but inside the Script Object: <pre>var oDB = null; function GetRecordCount() { if (oDB == null) { var sDataConnectionName = "<value>"; // example - var sDataConnectionName = "MyDataConnection"; // Search for sourceSet node which matchs the DataConnection name var nIndex = 0; while(xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex).name != sDataConnectionName) { nIndex++; } var oDB = xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex); oDB.open(); } oDB.first(); // Search node with the class name "command" var nDBIndex = 0; while(oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).className != "command") { nDBIndex++; } // Backup the original settings before assigning BOF and EOF to stay var sBOFBackup = oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.getAttribute("bofAction"); var sEOFBackup = oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.getAttribute("eofAction"); oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute("stayBOF", "bofAction"); oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute("stayEOF", "eofAction"); var itemCount = 0; while(!oDB.isEOF()) { itemCount++; oDB.next(); } // Restore the original settings oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute(sBOFBackup, "bofAction"); oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute(sEOFBackup, "eofAction"); return itemCount; }</pre> You can create a script object by right-clicking on the top-level form node ("form1" by default). Say you name your script object "Utils", you can then call the function inside of it from any event script like this: <pre>this.rawValue = Utils.GetRecordCount();</pre> Stefan Adobe Systems

Fetching null records out of a function takes much longer than non-null

Hi,
We have a function that is called thousands of times on SQL. This function has a SELECT than can return one row at max.
We realized that when the SQL statement doesn't return any record, it takes 3x times longer in the fetch phase.
I made a simple test with three functions were each one was executed 1000 times. The first one has an extra outer join that guarantees that it always returns one record, a second one with an explicit cursor that can return 0 records and a third one with an implicit cursor that can also return 0 records.
Here is the sample test code:
DECLARE
-- Local variables here
CURSOR c IS
SELECT teste_vasco.teste_vasco1(epis.id_episode) as val
FROM episode epis
WHERE rownum <= 1000;
TYPE t_c IS TABLE OF c%ROWTYPE;
l_c t_c;
BEGIN
-- Test statements here
OPEN c;
FETCH c BULK COLLECT
INTO l_c;
CLOSE c;
 for i in l_c.first..l_c.last
 loop
 dbms_output.put_line(i || ' :' || l_c(i).val);
 end loop;
END;
The difference between the tests is that instead of calling the vasco1 function, vasco2 and vasco3 is called.

As you can see, in the first example the fetch time of the SELECT in the function vasco1 takes 0.02 seconds and 0.06 in the SELECT of the test script. This test returned 1000 non-null records.
In the tests 2 and 3, the fetch phase of the SELECT in the test script takes much more time - 0.27 seconds, despite the fetch of the SELECT in the functions (vasco2 and vasco3) took 0.00 seconds (as it only returned 1 row for the 1000 executions) and the only difference between them is the function that is called. Both test2 and test3 returned 999 null records and 1 non-null record.
How it's possible than a select null records takes much longer than selecting non-null records?
Hope you can understand the problem and thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.

Thank you for the replies...
But the thing is that the SELECT in the function is very fast and the fetch phase takes no time (0.00 second).
And, as you can see in the execution plan, there's no need for a full index scan...only a range scan is performed:
SELECT CS.DT_SET, CS.FLG_STAGE, CS.DT_WARN
FROM
CARE_STAGE CS WHERE CS.ID_EPISODE = :B1 AND CS.FLG_ACTIVE = 'Y'
call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows

Execute 1000 0.07 0.06 0 0 0 0
Fetch 1000 0.00 0.00 0 2001 0 1
total 2001 0.07 0.06 0 2001 0 1
Misses in library cache during parse: 1
Misses in library cache during execute: 1
Optimizer mode: ALL_ROWS
Parsing user id: 286 (recursive depth: 2)
Rows Row Source Operation

1 INDEX RANGE SCAN CS_EPIS_FACT_FST_I (cr=2000 pr=0 pw=0 time=7951 us)(object id 688168)
But, the fetch phase of the SQL that calls the function that has this query takes 0,27 seconds.
As far as the contex switch, we are aware of that, but we can have modularity with this solution and the first function also have many context switching and is must faster.

How to find total count of records in a cursor

Aassume below is the cursor i defined
cursor c1 is select * from emp;
now, i want to find the total count of records in this cursor using an existing function etc., using one line statement.
FYI: c1%rowcount is always giving 0, so i cant rely on this.
Any thoughts, please share.
Thanks in advance.

I am just showing this to show how to get the rowcount along with the cursor, if the program has so much gap of between verifying the count(*) and opening the cursor.
Justin actually covered this, he said, oracle has to spend some resources to build this functionality. As it is not most often required, it does not makes much sence to see it as a built-in feature. However, if we must see the rowcount when we open the cursor, here is a way, but it is little bit expensive.
SQL> create table emp_crap as select * from emp where 1 = 2;
Table created.
SQL> declare
2   v_cnt     number := 0;
3   zero_rows         exception;

5    for rec in (select * from (select rownum rn, e.ename from emp_crap e) order by 1 desc)
6     loop
7        if v_cnt = 0 then

How to know the count of record in CR XI?

Post Author: Liu ming
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi All,
I create a report by CR XI release 2. The report is viewed in ASP.Net. So, I would like show a message when the report have no record. My question is how to know the count of record?
Thanks.

I was able to do this by using
ora:countNodes('Receive_1_Read_InputVariable','BILL','/ns2:BILL/ns2:CMS1500')

Need a relative sequence (count of record) in an input file in ESB input fi

I am using ESB to pick up text files and pass them to a stored procedure. I have multiple variable length records in the file. I pass each record to the
output file adapter, along with the input filename. I would also like to get a relative record number for each record within the file. I use an xsd file
to convert the input to XML. The entire file is at the root level, each record is an element. Is there a way to get a relative count of each element?
Here is the xsd file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:nxsd="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/nxsd"
targetNamespace="http://TargetNamespace.com/Filein"
xmlns:tns="http://TargetNamespace.com/Filein"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified" nxsd:encoding="ASCII" nxsd:stream="chars" nxsd:version="NXSD">
<xsd:element name="Root-Element">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="C1" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="C1" type="xsd:string" nxsd:style="terminated" nxsd:terminatedBy="${eol}" nxsd:quotedBy=""">
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>


I need to map the relative record number to a field in the output.
Is there a function similar to the get filename that would return this value to me?
<xsl:value-of select='ehdr:getRequestHeader("/fhdr:InboundFileHeaderType/fhdr:fileName","fhdr=http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/file/;")'/>
I use this in the xsl file to get the file name .

does each record start with a new line? if it does a
simple wc -l can help you. If not, you can pre
process this XML file by first removing all the new
line characters using sed and then adding new line
characters after the end tag of the xml using sed and
finally doing a wc -l . this would be a simple shell
script. Not sure if you want to use Unix shell
scripting to achieve this.The sheer nature of XML means that it does not conform to any visual formatting. i.e. An xml file containing...
<employee><empno>3</empno></employee>
is identical in XML terms to...
<employee>
<empno>3</empno>
</employee>
which is also identical in XML terms to...
<employee>
<empno>
3
</empno>
</employee>
which is also identical in XML terms to...
<employee><empno>
3
</empno></employee>
etc.
You cannot rely on the number of CR's or CR/LF's in the file to count the records. Proper XML processing should be used for such a task.

How to find count of records based on batch wise.

Hi All,
We are working on OWB10gr2. I would like share one requirement. Any one can suggest me how to do it and which is the best way to get accurate information.
We have 2 schemas’ like nia_src and nia_tgt. currently we are moving data from nia_src to nia_tgt for that reason we implemented some mappings based on requirement. In my source schema (nia_src) having 100 tables with data and similar structure replicated in target schema (nia_tgt).
In source schema every table having one date field for which record is inserted and based on that field we can find how may records are inserted on particular table ,particular time.
Same like target also maintaining date fields for tracking purposes.
We have done some mappings and scheduled also. Every day we are into the target with incremental data. All are working fine not any issues.
I wanted to know how many records inserted, updated, merged for particular batch
How can we find?
Can we find exact information in OWB_REP_OWNER schema on WB_RT_AUDIT?.
For tracking purposes I need to find those values how many records are available in
Source table and how many records are populated to the target schema?
How to find schedule batch count of records table wise for batch wise?
Please suggest me any one on this.
thanks and regards,
venkat.

RE: based on pre operator can we find count of records. if yes how to do it.
No, you cannot tell from the pre- operator how many records will be inserted or updated into a mapping. How could you? The mapping hasn't run yet!
At best (if you have simple mappings with single targets) you could come up with a strategy to have the pre-mapping procedure aware of it's package name, then select from user_source for that package body until you find that first cursor used for the row-based processing, copy the cursor into a local variable, and then execute immediate select count(*) from that cursor definition. But still, all that would get you is the number of rows selected - not inserted / updated / errored etc.
A post-mapping procedure that is aware of the package name will, however, run prior to package exit so that the package spec is still in memory so you can access the public variables in the package spec. We do that in our standard post-mapping procedure
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure erscntrl_finalize_prc(
                       p_process_id     in number,
                       p_process_name   in varchar2)
as
      l_numread      number         := 0;
      l_numInserted number         := 0;
      l_numUpdated   number         := 0;
      l_numMerged    number         := 0;
      l_owb_audit_id number         := 0;
      l_owb_status   number         := 0;
      sqlStmt        varchar2(2000) :=
                           'begin '||
                           ' :1 := '||p_process_name||'.get_selected; '||
                           ' :2 := '||p_process_name||'.get_inserted; '||
                           ' :3 := '||p_process_name||'.get_updated; '||
                           ' :4 := '||p_process_name||'.get_merged; '||
                           ' :5 := '||p_process_name||'.get_audit_id; '||
                           ' :6 := '||p_process_name||'.get_status; '||
                           ' end;';
begin
      -- we use dynamic SQL to return required audit field values.
      -- This allows us to alter which values we need at a later date
      -- without impacting the deployed mappings.
    execute immediate sqlStmt
    using   out l_numread,   out l_numInserted, out l_numUpdated,
            out l_numMerged, out l_owb_audit_id, out l_owb_status;
-- then execute our own logging package.
   owb_mapping_log_pkg.finalize(
                       p_process_id,
                       p_process_name,
                       l_numread,
                       l_numInserted,
                       l_numUpdated,
                       l_numMerged,
                       l_owb_audit_id,
                       l_owb_status
end;
/However, even in this case bear in mind that if you run the mapping in set-base mode, all Oracle returns is the number merged which does not give values for the inserted and updated counts. If you really need those values you need to either a) run in row-based mode or row-based-target-only, or come up with some custom queries. For example, in your pre-mapping do a select count(*) from your_target_table, then run the mapping, then get the number merged, then do another select count(*) from your_target_table. With these values and basic math you could tell the number inserted by the growth in the table, and the rest of the number merged must have been updates.
That being said, if you are playing with dimensions as large as most of the ones I am - there is no bloody way that you want to do two select count(*) statements on each run without a really, really good reason.....
Cheers,
Mike

Getting the count of records in a cursor

Hi,
How can I get the count of records satisfying a conditin in a cursor.
This is the code that I have written. Please tell me where I am going wrong.
declare
cursor c is
select * from Details where Name like 'M%';
rec number;
r c%rowtype;
begin
for r in c
loop
rec:=rec+1;
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line(rec);
end;
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You have to initialize the rec variable.
declare
cursor c is
select * from Details where Name like 'M%';
rec number :=0;

It takes time to get count of records if the table size is hugCan YOU count to 1000000000000000000 as quickly as you count to 10?????????????????????????
If it takes you longer to count many things, why do you expect Oracle to do better than you?Really??
Let's try some counts and see.
First off, let's count a few 1000 rows.
SQL> set timing on
SQL> select count(*) from all_objects;
COUNT(*)
45045
Elapsed: 00:00:17.08So 17 seconds for 45,000 rows.
Now if you're logic is correct, counting let's say a few billion rows, should take an hour? Perhaps more?
Here's what I see on one of my larger tables:
SQL> select count(*) from daily_xxxxxxx;
COUNT(*)
2569780329
Elapsed: 00:00:10.03Oops... it is faster.
Get a clue!I hereby sincerely apologise that my database does not adhere to your fine logic that says it should take a few hours - I will speak disapprovingly to the CBO for allowing the 2nd select count (on the same database) to be faster than the 1st select count. I will even use the backchannel to inform Larry that this is not acceptable.
Of course, this is assuming that you do not have your head stuck up somewhere and are indeed correct that it takes a "+looooonnngggg+" time to count lots of rows.

Exel to SQL DFTask loads some Null records

I have an SSIS package to import Excel data into SQL. When I look at Excel I dont see ANY Null rows. However when I run the SSIS package and check SQL, It loads some NULL RECORDS IN SQL. WHy is that It loads Null records in SQL, When i cannot see the Null
recs In Excel?

That's because the person who created the Excel file and added the data to it pressed the "Enter" key on some of the empty cells under that specific column. In excel, such a row might look like any other empty, non-data row but for SSIS, its an
actual data row except that it doesn't have any value. SSIS treats a missing data value as a DBNULL and that's what you saw.
There are multiple ways of fixing this.
1. Educate the creator of the excel to be more careful at the time of data entry.
2. Make that target column in the DB table as NOT NULL.
3. Handle such "empty" data values as exception inside your SSIS (using a data flow task and ignoring such rows).
4. Switch to using CSV file format instead of excel format.
5. All of the above :)
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

Chart: amount (count) of records per month (and year). How?

I need to create a chart eventually. Can't get what formula to use. The data is:
1 | 15 Jan
2 | 20 Jan
25 | 14 Mar
26 | 16 Mar
28 | 20 Mar
The chart should show amount(count) of records per month(and year). So in this example:
Jan: 2
Mar: 3
Hm... totally lost. Any tips?

To do this it would be best to add a column in which you isolate the month from the rest of the date information. Here's an example:
You may hide the Month-Isolated column if it impacts your presentation.
The Month-Isolated formula is: =IF(ISBLANK(B), "", (MONTH(B)))
The formula for the count in the Summary table is: =COUNTIF(Data Table :: $C, COLUMN())
Hope this gets you on your way.

Jerry

Show count of records in prompt..

Hi all,
we have a requirement where the users need to see the count of records for each value in the last prompt in a sequence of prompts(i.e after applying all the filters).
Any ideas on how we can do this?
Thanks.

Suggestions:
1) Keep the origianal employeeid also in the prompt ..but it would feel redundant to users
or
2) use intermediate report as in here Re: MONTH and YEAR functions. Please help...
