Create physical table using select in repository

Hi Gurus,
Can we create Physical table in OBIEE 11.1.1.6 repository using stored procedure and select?
How is the right syntax?
Thank you so much
JOE

Hi,
Yes. physical layer just select and put it like below
for example,
select field1, field2, . field_n
from tables
UNION
select field1, field2, . field_n
from tables;

Creating Physical table as select in the .rpd

When creating a physical table as a select we can write the SQL statement like SELECT A,B,C... FROM xxx etc.
Trouble is that we then have to go the tab COLUMNS and define each column... This is kind of very error prone and lots of work...
Pls. is there a way to somehow leverage the columns alreaday defined in the PHYSICAL TABLE ?
Txs. for any help.
Antonio

Hi Antonio,
You didnt catch me..
1)Open actual rpd and create a view using select query, do not add any columns.
2) Create view in dev db.
3) Create a new rpd file import the view into the physical layer.
4) Select columns from step3 and copy
5) paste in the actual rpd on selecting the 'select query' object
you are good to go.
This wold help you with all columns and their datatypes.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
SVee

Creating a table using SELECT

I want to create a copy of an existing table. What is the proper SQL statement that will execute this?

Note that constraints, indexes and triggers are not copied if you use this method. You will have to create statements to do that. A tool like TOAD makes it easy to do that.
You can also use dbms_metadata package to create the table definition.
SQL> SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLE','EMP','SCOTT') FROM DUAL;
CREATE TABLE "SCOTT"."EMP"
   (    "EMPNO" NUMBER(4,0),
        "ENAME" VARCHAR2(10),
        "JOB" VARCHAR2(9),
        "MGR" NUMBER(4,0),
        "HIREDATE" DATE,
        "SAL" NUMBER(7,2),
        "COMM" NUMBER(7,2),

Using case when statement in the select query to create physical table

Hello,
I have a requirement where in I have to execute a case when statement with a session variable while creating a physical table using a select query. let me explain with an example.
I have a physical table based on a select table with one column.
SELECT 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.NAME_PARAMETER)' AS NAME_PARAMETER FROM DUAL. Let me call this table as the NAME_PARAMETER table.
I also have a customer table.
In my dashboard that has two pages, Page 1 contains a table with the customer table with column navigation to my second dashboard page.
In my second dashboard page I created a dashboard report based on NAME_PARAMETER table and a prompt based on customer table that sets the NAME_ PARAMETER request variable.
EXECUTION
When i click on a particular customer, the prompt sets the variable NAME_PARAMETER and the NAME_PARAMETER table shows the appropriate customer.
everything works as expected. YE!!
Now i created another table called NAME_PARAMETER1 with a little modification to the earlier table. the query is as follows.
SELECT CASE WHEN 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.NAME_PARAMETER)'='Customer 1' THEN 'TEST_MART1' ELSE TEST_MART2' END AS NAME_PARAMETER
FROM DUAL
Now I pull in this table into the second dashboard page along with the NAME_PARAMETER table report.
surprisingly, NAME_PARAMETER table report executes as is, but the other report based on the NAME_PARAMETER1 table fails with the following error.
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: S1000 code: 1756 message: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated. [nQSError: 16014] SQL statement preparation failed. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SET VARIABLE NAME_PARAMETER='Novartis';SELECT NAME_PARAMETER.NAME_PARAMETER saw_0 FROM POC_ONE_DOT_TWO ORDER BY saw_0
If anyone has any explanation to this error and how we can achieve the same, please help.
Thanks.

Hello,
Updates :) sorry.. the error was a stupid one.. I resolved and I got stuck at my next step.
I am creating a physical table using a select query. But I am trying to obtain the name of the table dynamically.
Here is what I am trying to do. the select query of the physical table is as follows.
SELECT CUSTOMER_ID AS CUSTOMER_ID, CUSTOMER_NAME AS CUSTOMER_NAME FROM 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.SCHEMA_NAME)'.CUSTOMER.
The idea behind this is to obtain the data from the same table from different schemas dynamically based on what a session variable. Please let me know if there is a way to achieve this, if not please let me know if this can be achieved in any other method in OBIEE.
Thanks.

Error while retrieving data from PL/SQL Table using SELECT st. (Urgent!!!)

Hi Friends,
I am using Oracle 8.1.6 Server, & facing problems while retrieving data from a PL/SQL Table:
CREATE or REPLACE PROCEDURE test_proc IS
TYPE tP2 is TABLE of varchar2(10); --declared a collection
dt2 tP2 := tP2('a','b','c');
i NUMBER(8);
begin
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO i FROM TABLE(CAST(dt2 as tP2));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('**'||i);
end;
While executing the above procedure, I encountered foll. error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [15419], [severe error during PL/SQL execution], [], [],
ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [pfrrun.c:pfrbnd1()], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [0]
Can anyone please help me, where the problem is??
Is it Possible to retrieve data from PL/SQL TABLE using SELECT statement? & How ?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Jay Raval.

Thanks Roger for the Update.
It means that have to first CREATE TYPE .. TABLE in database then only I can fire a Select statement on that TYPE.
Actually I wanted to fire a Select statement on the TABLE TYPE, defined & declared in PLSQL stored procedure using DECLARE TYPE .. TABLE & not using CREATE TYPE .. TABLE.
I was eager to know this, because my organization is reluctant in using CREATE TYPE .. TABLE defined in the database, so I was looking out for another alternative to access PL/SQL TABLE using Select statement without defining it database. It would have been good if I could access a PLSQL TABLE using Select statement Declared locally in the stored procedure.
Can I summarize that to access a PL/SQL TABLE using SELECT statement, I have to first CREATE TYPE .. TABLE?
If someone have any other idea on this, please do let me know.
Thanks a lot for all help.
Best Regards,
Jay Raval.
You have to define a database type...
create type tP2 is table of varchar2(10)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST_PROC
IS
dt2 tP2 := tP2('a','b','c');
i NUMBER(8);
begin
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO i FROM TABLE(CAST (dt2 AS tP2));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('**'||i);
end;
This will work.

FETCHING VALUES IN MULTI RECORD BLOCK FROM ANOTHER TABLE USING SELECT STATEMENT.

Hi,
I have one multi record block in which i want to fetch values
(more then one record) from another table using select statement
IN KEY NEXT ITEM.I am getting following error.
ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows
Thanks in advance.

In your case I see no reason to use non-database block and to try to populate it from a trigger with a query, instead of using the default forms functionality where you can associate the block and the fields with table, create where clause using bind variables and simply use execute_query() build-in to populate the block. The power of the forms is to use their build-in functionality to interact with the database.
Also, you can base your block on a query, not on a table and you dynamically change this query using set_block_property() build-in. You can use any dynamic queries (based on different data sources) and you simply need to control the column's data type, the number of the columns and their aliases. Something like creating inline views as a block data source.
However, you can replace the explicit cursor with implicit one like
go_block('non_db_block_name');
first_record();
FOR v_tab IN (SELECT *
FROM tab
WHERE col_name = :variable)
LOOP
:non_db_block_name.field1 := v_tab.col1;
:non_db_block_name.field2 := v_tab.col2;
next_record();
END LOOP;

To retrieve physical tables used in SP

Hi all,
Can anyone help me to get result for Retrieving list of physical tables used in Stored Procedure.
Thanks in advance.

You need to run via loop to traverse all physical tables and issue
SELECT * FROM sys.sql_modules
WHERE definition LIKE '%'+@table_name+'%'

Hi Sweta,
Create the interface attributes of type string and xtring type.
Create node in the context of type graphics. bind the interface fields to the graphic node context element properties -
Graphic content, field of xzstring type and mimetype to be string/any char data type of suitable length.
In layout drag and drop the image field and bind it to the graphic element.
In yoour report programme-
do the code as berlow to pass the graphic data -
<i>CALL METHOD cl_ssf_xsf_utilities=>get_bds_graphic_as_bmp
EXPORTING
p_object = 'GRAPHICS'
p_name = '<mime type graphic name>'
p_id = 'BMAP'
p_btype = 'BCOL' "BMON if monochrome
RECEIVING
p_bmp = w_binary
EXCEPTIONS
not_found = 1
internal_error = 2
OTHERS = 3.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.</i>
in the call <form function module>
pass the inerface values for
xstring (graphic field) to be w_binary (import parameter of the previous method)
and mime type to be 'image/bmp'.
This would work.
Hope fully you may be able to see a tutorial on this soon ;).

I am creating a request for proposal form and I need to add a commission structure field. I created a table using the ranking field and now I need to delete the "dots/buttons" and turn them into text fields, is this possible?

I created a table using the ranking field and now I need to delete the "dots/buttons" and turn them into text fields, is this possible?

It sounds like what you are trying to do is edit the choices in a likert field to something other than the default radio button. This is not something that you can do in Formscentral at this time.

Create temporary Tables using SQL

Hello,
I'm wondering if SAP allows the creation of new Tables without SDK objects,
I want to create temporary tables using SQL scripts an compile them when an specific addon is connected and erase them when the addon disconnects,
Do you think this is allowed?.
thanks,
Gabriela

You could always have a second DB to create your temp tables in. This is the way I've done this, as well as created my own views and stored procedures in it. No updating of the primary table necessary. The way I named things was:
Company_DB - Company Database
Company_DB-Extern - My own stuff
Then, in sap, you can just do [Company_DB-Extern]..Object to call it, or you do the same from withing your project.

OBIEE generated SQL differs if it's a Physical Table or Select Table...

Hi!
I have some tables defined in the Physical Layer, which some are Physical Tables and others are OBIEE "views" (tables created with a Select clause).
My problem is that the difference in the generated SQL for the same table, differs (as expected) whether it is a Physical Table or a "Select Table". And this difference originates problems in the returned data. When it a Physical Table, the final report returns the correct data, but when it is a Select Table it returns incorrect/incomplete data. The report joins this table with another table from a different Database (it is a join between Sybase IQ and SQL Server).
This is the generated SQL in the log:
-- Physical Table generated SQL
select T182880."sbl_cust_acct_row_id" as c1,
T182880."sbl_cust_acct_ext_key" as c2,
T182880."sbl_cust_source_sys" as c3
from
"SGC_X_KEY_ACCOUNT" T182880
order by c2, c3
-- "Select Table" generated SQL
select
     sbl_cust_acct_ext_key,
     ltrim(rtrim(sbl_cust_source_sys)) as sbl_cust_source_sys,
     sbl_cust_acct_row_id,
     sbl_cust_acct_camp_contact_row_id,
     ods_date,
     ods_batch_no,
     ods_timestamp
from dbo.SGC_X_KEY_ACCOUNT
As you may notice, the main difference is the use of Aliases (which I think that it has no influence in the report result) and the use of "Order By" (which I start to think that it its the main cause to return the correct data).
Don't forget that OBIEE server is joining the data from this table, with data from another table from a differente database. Therefore, the join is made in memory (OBIEE Engine). Maybe in the OBIEE Engine the Order by is essential to guarantee a correct join...but then again, I have some other tables in the Physical Layer that are defined as "Select" and the generated SQL uses the aliases and the Order by clause...
In order to solve my problem, I had to transform the "Select Table" into a "Physical Table". The reason it was defined as a "Select Table" was because it had a restriction in the Where Clause (which I eliminated already, althouth the performance wil be worse).
I'm confused. Help!
Thanks.
FPG

Hi FPG,
Not sure if this is a potential issue for you at all, but I know it caused me all kinds of headaches before I figured it out. Had to do with "Features" tab Values in the database object's settings in the Physical Layer:
Different SQL generated for physical table query vs. view object query?
Mine had to do with SQL from View objects not being submitted as I would expect, sounds like yours has more to do with "Order By"? I believe I remembered seeing some Order By and Group By settings in the "Features" list. You might make a copy of your RPD and experiement around with setting some of those if they aren't already selected and retesting your queries with the new DB settings.

So you need to grant “*insert any table* “ privileges to a;
