Create opaque view in OBIEE with multiple tables

Hi,
I need some help with the opaque view since i have never created it in past. I want to create an opaque view which fetches data from multiple tables. Is it possible to do that ? Or is there any other alternate option available in OBIEE ? I read the following blog and other similar blogs on opaque views but could not find option to use it for query with multiple tables:
Oracle Business Intelligence: Creating Opaque View in Physical Layer in OBIEE 10g
Also can you please advice how to join two tables from different databases in OBIEE ?
Kindly advice.
Regards,
Andy

Hi Andy,
As per my knowledge you can create Opaque View on one table at a time.Joining two tables from different databases yes we can create a report from multiple data sources.Check this

Mark if helps.
Thanks,

  • How to build a form with multiple tables in oracle application express

    Hi everyone,
    I have got problem in building a form with multiple tables.I have a main table with (20) columns and this main table is related to the other tables with the primary key-foreign key relation ship.My requirement is i have to build a form which has fields from many tables and all the fields are related to the main table using (ID) column.In that form if i enter ID field i have to get information from differnt tables.
    Please help me to solve this (building a form with mutiple tables)
    Thank you

    Sans,
    I am no Apex expert, but with a situation as "complex" as yours, have you thought about creating a VIEW that joins these 7/8 tables, placing an INSTEAD OF trigger on that view to do all the business logic in the database, and base your application on the view?
    This is the "thick-database" approach that has been gaining momentum of late. The idea is to put your business logic in the database wherever possible, and let the application (Form, Apex, J2EE, whatever) concentrate on UI issues,

  • How to create new view without interlinking with gantt chart or resource views

    ok clear
    one another question
       In msp how to create new view without interlinking with gantt chart or resource views

    Hi Shiv PMC--
    I splitted your question above in another thread in order not to have  a huge thread with many topics in it.
    That being said, I'm not sure to understand. A view is just a manner to display MS Project data with columns. A view can have a table with column (left part) associated with a Gantt chart. It can also just contain a table with no Gantt chart (like the task
    table) or a table with a timephased grid (resource and task usage).
    Please give us more information, maybe with a concrete example so we can help you.
    Hope this helps,

  • Creating Opaque views in 10g

    Hi team
    I wanted to know that , Is it possible to create opaque view for a table( In Physical layer ) without necessarily importing the table into the physical layer for which view has to be created .
    Thanks

    Hi Rohit
    Yes, sure it's possible. An opaque view is just a physical source based on a select statement. You can create this in the physical layer and add the columns manually.

  • BaseTableName blank when calling GetSchema on a query with multiple tables

    I am using ODP.NET 11.2.0.3.0 and when calling GetSchemaTable on a DataReader that contains a join the returned SchemaTable has the BaseTableName and BaseColumnName fields blank - this is different than what I see with the Oracle OLE DB Provider and with how SQL Server's native provider works. I can't find any discussion of this - is this on purpose or is it a bug? why does the available schema information vary so drastically between a single table query and a query with multiple tables joined?
    Thanks,

    Hi Bryan,
    I am also facing the same issue. Did u find any work around or any suggestions will be well appreciated.

  • Ability to query on all columns from a view with multiple tables

    I have view with 4 tables. view has about 50 columns.
    hypothetically, I want to build a form to give the user an ability to query on any of those 50 columns. user can search on one or more fields.
    what is the best way to write the query to retrieve the results without performance impact.
    please let me know if the question is not clear.

    If you want to permit them to query any of 10 fields with no restrictions, you could create 10 separate single-column indexes. The optimizer would have to try to pick the best of these indexes if you specified multiple search criteria. But since you have a view which presumably means that you've got multiple other indexes involved for the underlying join conditions, you'd probably want/need to combine the column lists of the indexes you're adding for searches with the indexes you've created for joins, which requires looking at the text of the view and figuring out the best way to optimize the 10 single-column searches. Of course, it is possible that the optimizer could chose to do something like a b-tree to bitmap conversion on multiple indexes which could allow it to use multiple independent indexes for your queries, but that's generally not ideal performance-wise.
    All this is a fancy way of saying that there probably isn't a cut and dried answer to your question. You need to figure out the queries you're trying to optimize (say, the 10 single-condition queries) and you need to figure out what set of indexes on the various underlying tables provides the best performance weighing those benefits against the cost on other side of maintenance during DML. Which is going to depend on the text of the view, the underlying tables, the existing indexes, etc.

    if :p3_note_id is null
    then
    insert into notes (project_id, note, notes_month, notes_year) So, p3_note_id is NULL.
    Another option is that you have a trigger on table NOTES that generates a new note_id even for an update.

    Create view in your HAGGIS database which will join all of the exam grades together. You should have one view which will produce the following relation :
    examGrade(upn, subject, examlevel, sn, grade,academicYear)
    so I need to create a view which gets the data from both the tables in both the databases.
    create view as examGrade(upn, subject, examlevel, sn, grade,academicYear) as select s.upn
    But i am not getting how to select a column from 2 tables in different databases
    I mean if i said

    Another problem i am having which i am trying to solve and written up my ideas but haven't been getting the expected results.Hope you can help.Thank you.
    Information:
    =======
    All children take exams at the age of 16 called a General Certificate of SecondaryEducation (GCSE).
    They have to study and take exams in Mathematics, English and Science, and can take other subjects such as History, French, Art etc. Most students will study between 5 and 10 different subjects before taking their GCSEs.
    For each exam, a student is awarded a grade from A*, A, B,C,D,E,F,G,U,X An A* grade is the best grade achievable and an X is the worst grade.
    In order to analyze how students have performed, each grade is mapped to a numeric value as follows:
    Grade Numerical score
    A* 8
    A 7
    B 6
    C 5
    D 4
    E 3
    F 2
    G 1
    U 0
    X 0
    Now why i need this avgGCSE is because i have to create a view containing avgGCSE of the students it is used in the next question where a condition is avgGCSE is between 6.5 and 7
    In order to calculate the avgGCSE the idea is to calculate the grades of the students and map the grades to their corresponding scores/values
    add them all up and div by the total no of grades to get the avg.
    desc comqdhb.STUDENT@glink;
    STUDENT

    I have a opinion that xgcse in STUDENT table refers to the avgGCSE which i want to calculate as when i asked my professor as to what xgcse he said that he forgot to take it out of the table and it is not necessary while creating avggcse.
    select *
    from comqdhb.student@glink
    where xgcse<6.5; Displaying a result
    returns:

    ===========================================================================
    1386 STEPHANIE AANNESSON 15-JAN-79 f none 6.88873 2 2 so if xgcse is the avgGCSE then upn 1011 has avggcse<6.5 and 1386 has avggcse >6.5
    my idea was backward strategy like so now if we find out upn 1368 has suppose xgcse(avggcse)>6.5 how to extract the avggcse for the particular upn We need to map grades from GRADEVALUES to grade in STUDENTINGROUP and map upn from studentingroup to upn in student to output the values for the corresponding grades from GRADEVALUES
    select grade
    from comqdhb.studentingroup@glink
    where upn = 1011;
    Result:

    But the xgcse for upn 1011 is 3.935 and i am getting 4!! maybe xgcse isn't avggrade but ? is the procedure by me correct for calculating avggcse

  • How do I create a single PDF file with multiple pages?

    Hi, I occasionally need merge several jpg images into a single pdf file with multiple pages (one Jpg per page). I have tried doing this on Preview, and by selecting all the pages I want to include in my document and trying to save to Pdf through the "Print" function, but every time it only saves the first page.
    Can anyone tell me if there is a way to save multple-page pdf files without having to purchase a specific program (i to this too infrequently to justify the cost)?
    Thanks very much,

    This works for me...

  • How to create a view on a Non-Transparent Tables.

    Hi,
    i want to create a view on P0001 & P0002 tables.
    these two tables are non transparent.
    Can any body help me ,
    Thanks in Advance,
    Regards
    Vinay

    Hi Vinay
    It seems you program HR-ABAP. Generally it is not required to create views since we use LDB (Logical database) utilizations in our programs. Doesn't it satisfy your requirement? Or is it required at somewhere you do not use LDB?

  • Best way to do a lookup with multiple tables

    Hello,
    I am looking for an example or how to do a lookup through ESB XSL transformation. What I am wanting to accomplish is something like below:
    I am reading in a flat file and then want to use a field in that file to do a lookup in multiple tables.
    i.e.
    Select c.customer_name
    from customers c, order_lines ol, order_headers oh
    where ol.customer_id = c.customer_id
    and ol.header_id = oh.header_id
    and oh.order_number = p_order_num;
    I know that there is the lookup-table function but didnt know if that would work with this scenario. Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • Creating chart from single column of multiple tables in Numbers '09

    I have multiple tables (spread across multiple sheets) in my document. In column B of each table is a name. The other columns contain other categorized data. Each table has a variable number of rows, but each name is unique within a table. A particular name in any one table may or may not occur in another.
    What I want to do is create a chart that shows the total number of times each unique name occurs across all the tables. Not really sure how to do this...
    I would also like to be able to sort the chart from highest to lowest.

    That won't quite work, as I have hundreds of names to process. It was a good starting point though. Here's what I had to do:
    1) create a new table (mynames) containing all the names in mynames::A
    2) in mynames::B1 put the formula =SUM(COUNTIF(Table 1::A, A1), COUNTIF(Table 2::A, A1), ...)
    3) Select column mynames::B and then choose *INSERT -> Fill Down* from the menu
    It becomes a bit tedious to have to update the formula and refill the column every time I add another data table. Imagine if I had hundreds of tables to enter. Hmmm....
    I currently have one table per sheet, but if I were to move all the tables onto one sheet, categorize a column, and then collapse all the categories, that wouldn't take up too much space on one sheet. Say I had 100 tables, I could then reduce the formula to:
    =COUNTIF(Table 1:Table 100::A, A1)
    I would also have to make sure to place the mynames table before Table 1 in the table list. All in all, much less of a hassle to add new table data.
    Hopefully, Apple will add multi-sheet spanning collections, in the same way you can do multi-table collections now.
