Creating matrix in SQL

I have an SQL script
select
     substr(e,5,2) || '-' || substr(e,1,4) period_entered,
     r region,
     count(q) Count_of_quotes
from
(     select     distinct
          sps.region_code r,
          to_char(oq.date_entered,'YYYYMM') e,
          oq.quotation_no q
     from
          ifsapp.order_quotation oq,
          ifsapp.sales_part_salesman sps
     where
          oq.salesman_code=sps.salesman_code(+)
     and
          oq.objstate in ('Released','Revised')
     and
          oq.company= upper('OIA')
     and
          oq.date_entered >=      ifsapp.km_util_api.conv_from_date_fmt('OIA','11/01/2006')
     and
          oq.date_entered <= ifsapp.km_util_api.conv_from_date_fmt('OIA','03/31/2007')+ ( 1 - 1/ ( 60*60*24 ) )
     and
          ('' is null or upper('')=oq.authorize_code)
     and
          ('' is null or sps.region_code like upper('%'))
group by
     e,
     rwhich generates output like this:
Period_Entered     Region     Count_Of_Quotes

Hi!
You can check the following script --
select decode(period_entered,'11-2006',Q,0) "11-2006",
       decode(period_entered,'12-2006',Q,0) "12-2006",

from (
select      substr(e,5,2) || '-' || substr(e,1,4) period_entered,     
        r region,     
          q

    Rajesh

    This issue is really becoming a problem for us. Does anyone have any examples of label templates. The label when generated automatically converts from pontrait to landscape. If you increase the size of the template then word complains about the page and margin size before printing.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Create Simple Printable SQL Reports in APEX 3.2 Without a Print Server

    Oracle Apex 3.2
    Oracle 11g
    OHS
    I thought I'd post an answer on how to get a printable SQL report in Oracle Apex without having to configure a print server. I'm sure that similar things have been posted in various other places, but I found the documentation for using custom row templates (to create a printable report) to be incomplete at best. For my needs, I was not looking for an awe inspiring report printout, but rather simple directory information printouts. For example, if you wanted a printable report to look like this:
    =================================
    CURRENT ACTIVE EMPLOYEES REPORT
    =================================
    First Name: Bob                  Employee ID: 0000000000
    Last Name: Swarts              Company Credit Card Number: 0000-0000-0000-0000
    Middle Initial: F                  Social Security Number: 000-00-0000
    First Name: Sue                  Employee ID: 1111111111
    Last Name: Johnson           Company Credit Card Number: 1111-1111-1111-1111
    Middle Initial: G                 Social Security Number: 111-11-1111
    etc.....In MS Access, doing this is very easy. From what I understand, this is also very easy to do this using PDF software with a print server. However, if you are like me, you don't want to waste time and money by obtaining and configuring a print server (even if it is free). However, never fear because you can create simple reports like this with relatively minimalistic effort; and you can do so without having to configure a print server.
    1.) Create a new page
    2.) Create a new sql query report region on the page
    3.) Make your query just as you would normally.
    For this example the query would be:
    select first_name, employee_id, last_name, company_credit_card_number, middle_initial, social_security_number from employee_table4.) Go to "Shared Components"
    5.) Under "User Interface" click on "Templates"
    6.) Click on the "Create" button
    7.) Select "Report"
    8.) Select "From Scratch"
    9.) For the "Template Class," choose one of the "custom" classes. For the "Template Type," choose "Named Column"
    10.) Click the "Create" button
    11.) Now that you created a custom row template, go back to "Shared Components" and then to "Templates"
    12.) Find your custom template and click on it
    CUSTOM TEMPLATE HOW TO
    1.) In the "Row Template 1" textbox, you are going to create some custom css that will display the data on the page. The css to make the report look like the report above would be:
    <div style = text-align: justify">
    <table>
    <tr>
    <td style = "width: 200px"><b>First Name: #1#</b></td>
    <td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
    <td style = "width: 215px"><b>Employee Id: #2#</b></td>
    <tr>
    <td style = "width: 200px">Last Name: #3#</td>
    <td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
    <td style = "width: 215px">Company Credit Card Number: #4#</td>
    <tr>
    <td style = "width: 200px">MI: #5#</td>
    <td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
    <td style = "width: 215px">Social Security Number: <b>#6#</b></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    <p style = "page-break-after: always">----------------------------------------------------------------</p>
    </div>
    {code}
    As you probably figured out, the numbers between the two pound signs ("#") are substitution strings for the variables in your select query in the SQL report.  As you have also probably noticed, the "page-break-after: always" line will always make it so that only one report is shown on a page.  To fix this, we will need to use logic and row template 2.
    2.)  For the "Row Template 1 Condition," select "Use Based on PL/SQL Expression" from the select list.
    3.)  In the textbox for the row template 1 expression enter in the following:  {code}substr('#rownum#',-1) = 0 or substr('#rownum#',-1) = 5{code}
    ***** This condition will make sure that this template is applied when the last digit in the row number is either a "0" or a "5."  So, only 5 reports will be displayed per page.
    4.)  Now go down to "Row Template 2" and enter in the following in the textbox:
    {code}
    <div style = text-align: justify">
    <table>
    <tr>
    <td style = "width: 200px"><b>First Name: #1#</b></td>
    <td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
    <td style = "width: 215px"><b>Employee Id: #2#</b></td>
    <tr>
    <td style = "width: 200px">Last Name: #3#</td>
    <td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
    <td style = "width: 215px">Company Credit Card Number: #4#</td>
    <tr>
    <td style = "width: 200px">MI: #5#</td>
    <td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
    <td style = "width: 215px">Social Security Number: <b>#6#</b></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    <p>----------------------------------------------------------------</p>
    </div>look familiar? that is because it exactly the same code as above, except without the page-break-after piece.
    5.) For the "Row Template 2 Condition," select "Use Based on PL/SQL Expression" from the select list.
    6.) In the textbox for the row template 2 expression enter in the following: substr('#rownum#',-1) != 0 or substr('#rownum#',-1) != 5***** This condition will make sure that this template is applied when the last digit in the row number IS NOT a "0" or a "5."
    7.) Scroll down to column headings and enter this in the textbox for the "Column Heading Template": OMIT
    8.) Click the "Apply Changes" button
    9.) Now go back to your application and the page you want to apply the custom report to
    10.) On the report, click on the report tab
    11.) Scroll down to "Layout and Pagination"
    12.) Click on the "Report Template" select list
    13.) Select your custom template
    14.) Click the "Apply Changes" button and run the page
    Try printing the report, if it does not print correctly, try it in Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome. Please note that it is my understanding that only Firefox does not understand the css "page-break-after: always"
    If needed, add some css to the page to hide tabs and other items when you print.

    DOH. Too much copy/paste.
    In my code, I was setting an application variable to contain the email address I was retrieving from AD. Once commented out, it worked fine.
              IF l_attr_name = 'mail' THEN
                 APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('F111_USER_EMAIL',l_vals(i));

  • How to create a .mdf SQL Server database from a Data-Tier Application file that has data?

    This is a noob question, though I do use SQL Server databases all the time with Entity Framework when I code in C# using Visual Studio 2013.  The development environment is found below at [A].  I am trying to make a clone of a SQL Server 2008 R2
    database (.mdf)  that exists online.  I can read, connect and work with this database in Visual Studio 2013, but I wish to make a local copy of the database, as an .MDF file.  Somewhere in my notes I have a way of creating a local copy from
    an online database when using Visual Studio but I forgot how (it seems, reviewing my notes, that it deals with ADO.NET which is deprecated in Visual Studio 2013 these days, or so it seems).  So I'm looking for another way.  What I did was create
    (or export) a "Data-Tier Application File" from the online SQL Server database, with data, and it seems to have worked in that this Data-Tier Application file exists on my hard drive and seems to have data in it ("SQL Server Replication Snapshot"
    is the format it seems).  It contains skeleton code to create a database, but when I tried to execute it with SQL Server 2014 Management Studio, I got a bunch of errors.
    So my question is:
    1) Can I somehow create a .MDF SQL Server Database from an Data-Tier Application file that has data?  What tool do I use?  I saw this link, http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2639.how-to-use-data-tier-application-import-and-export-with-a-windows-azure-sql-database.aspx 
    and it relates to Azure, but is there a tool for C#Visual Studio 2013, standalone?
    2) If there's an easy way to create a .mdf SQL Server Database file from an online file, within SQL Server Management Studio?  I don't think so, since it would require Administrator permissions on the online server, which I don't have. I have permission
    to read, update, delete the online database file, but strangely not to download it (the service I use has a tool for backup, but not for download).
    3) same question as 2), but for Visual Studio 2013?  I don't think so, since I notice none of the templates even mentions ADO.NET anymore, but instead they go with Entity Framework.  Using EF I can of course do anything I want with the online database
    (CRUD), but it remains online.  Maybe there's a switch to make a local copy?  I guess I could write a short program to suck all the data out of the online database and put it into a new, duplicate database having the same tables, that I create on
    my localhost, but my question here is if there's an easier way than this, maybe a tool or command I can run from inside Visual Studio?
    Any advice on any of the above questions is appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Thanks but these links are too general to help.
    "2. what do you mean by online file?" - I mean the SQL Server database file is on a remote web server that I rent from, but I am not the administrator of.  I can access my database using SQL Server Authentication, but nothing more.

    What do you mean by too general? It explains on how you can use data tier application to create and deploy databases
    May be this will help you to understand better

  • Can't create a new SQL Azure Standard Tier db

    I'm having an issue creating a new sql azure standard tier db. Here's the basic steps I've done to migrate a web tier db.
    Register for the sql preview programme
    https://account.windowsazure.com/PreviewFeatures
    Perform a db export to blob storage
    use the + (new) button to create a new SQL db
    select the import option
    browser to your saved export
    hopefully see the new tiers as options in dialog. 
    The new tiers require a separate server to web. Can create this from the import dialog
    I have 2 independent azure accounts, the above process worked for my test account but for the live account where I was also experimenting after success on the test account I hit an issue. I request to create a new server whilst importing. This step seems
    to work but then the actual import fails with this msg
    "Error encountered during the service operation. 
     Could not import package.
     Error SQL72014: .Net SqlClient Data Provider: Msg 40823, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid value provided for parameter EDITION. Please provide a value that is valid on server version 1.0.
     Error SQL72045: Script execution error. The executed script:
     CREATE DATABASE [$(DatabaseName)] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
     (EDITION = 'Standard', MAXSIZE = 1 GB)"
    Tried a couple of times but no joy. Using the portal I can browse to the new sql server and it looks okay other than the list of ENABLED
    RESERVATION SIZES ONLY HAS P1, P2, P3 I'm requesting a standard (s1) db not premium (P1, P2, P3). On my test server I see in this list also S1,
    S2. As you can see in the error message I'm requesting Edition = Standard. I get the feeling the newly created server is not accepting standard tier dbs?
    Now the server is created if I try an import I see the server in the list of available servers but when I select a tier of Basic or Standard the new server is grayed out, not so if I select Premium or the older Web or Business? Interestingly my current live
    sql server shows up as supporting the new premium?
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to open a new Worksheet without creating a new *.sql file

    Hello Community,
    Declaimer: It may be a trivial question. I just willing to make SQL Developer my default day to day tool.
    I is possible to open a new Worksheet without creating a new *.sql file. Like in an MS Word. If I just need some space to write something and than destroy the file without saying. I can quickly click < ctrl + N > and get the space.
    In SQL Developer to get a new "space"/work sheet i
    -a- < ctrl + N >
    -b- choose "SQL File"
    -c- confirm default location
    -d- choose the connection to be used (right top conner)
    This process is way to long for getting a new sheet to put write an SQL.
    Can you suggest a better way to get a workspace with current connection assigned in no time (like in MS Word)?
    Please ;)
    Yury

    There is no need to create new .sql file.
    I don't know why you need new SQL Worksheet when you can simply do the space by pressing Enter, but you can open a new one from Tools -> SQL Worksheet. There is also a toolbar button for this.

  • Using LV 8.6 to access database created in MS SQL Server Management Studio

    I am using Labview 8.6 to access a database created in MS SQL Server Mgmt Studio, using LabSQL ADO utilities. I don't have LV's add-on DB connectivity toolkit, but just the ADO utilities. Can i do it? If yes, how? I have no experience whatsoever in connecting and accessing data from a DB. An example would help.
    Thanks,

    As for my opinion you cant access without DB connectivity toolkit.
    Nonsense.
    With LabSQL, you should first find an on-line SQL tutorial and refer to the Microsoft help files. I would recomend creating a UDL file. This is the connection string you use for the ADO Connection Open function. You might want to to get a little help from the db administrator. You'll certainly need help in getting a login and password.
    There are examples that come with LabSQL

    as "Dateofbirth", t3.ADDRESS, t3.CITY, t3.STATE, t3.CODE, t3.HOMETELEPHONE, t3.WORKTELEPHONE, t3.INTERESTING, t3.personid
    from pnames t1, people t3, groups t4
    where t3.persongroup = t4.groupid
    and t1.personid = t3.personid
    I have no problem to run that query under sqlplus!

    Hi,
    I'm cuurently using the portal inside of 9iAs 1.0.2.2.2a. What version of that Portal? By the way, how can I find out the version of Portal that I using? And also can I display image inside of report which created by Portal? I tried statement:
    select
    '<IMG SRC="'|| decode(IMAGE, '', SJAYARAM309.wwctx_api.get_image_path || 'noimg.jpg',
    owa_util.get_cgi_env('DOC_ACCESS_PATH') || '/' || IMAGE) ||'">' stu_pic,
    from stu
    However, it doesn't work. It came out error:
    Unable to describe SQL statement. Please correct it (WWV-13010)
    Invalid SQL statement: select '<IMG SRC="'|| decode(IMAGE, '', SJAYARAM309.wwctx_api.get_image_path || 'noimg.jpg', owa_util.get_cgi_env('DOC_ACCESS_PATH') || '/' || IMAGE) ||'">' pic from test (WWV-13005)

  • Hi, I would like to create a database from my numbers spreadsheet and create reports (like SQL). Is there a way?

    Hi, I would like to create a database from my numbers spreadsheet and create reports (like SQL). Is there a way?

    Numbers is a lightweight spreadsheet.  If you know sql you will know that it can handle many queries and is a real databases that can handle many thousands of records.  Number is not the correct tool.  You can make something that does something like a query but it is not truly a query.
    Can you share anything about the specific application and how much information there is in each record?  How many records (rows)?

  • Create Tables using sql.

    Hi Dear;
    can i create tables from SQL enterprise manager and not from SAP-BO without having problem in the upgrade?
    thank you Dear.

    Hi Adele,
    I never heard that there is any issue with additional / custom tables in a B1 <b>company</b> database.
    For certification there is no issue with that - except that you must use your SAP namespace also for these tables.
    For your reference I add here the current links to the page about Solution Certification (B1-SDK) + the Test Plan - which lists all requirements:
    B1-SDK: SAP BUSINESS ONE ADD-ON SOLUTION CERTIFICATION  (B1-SDK) [original link is broken]
    Test Plan: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/81a22ee1-0701-0010-45aa-ec852e882de3

    PS: Adding tables to SBO-Common is a different game though since it is not expected that a partner adds tables there and <u>eventually</u> additional tables there might get removed during upgrades.
    If you have a need for additional data storage across all companies, please create a dedicated database for that purpose.

  • Tip in create trigger thru SQL Developer 1.5

    I try to create trigger in SQL Developer, which simply delete all the related rows in other tables, the trigger is as below:
    create or replace trigger delregion
    after delete on regions
    for each row
    begin
    delete from countries where region_id=:old.region_id;
    end delregion;
    when I test it and it throws the following error:
    delete from hr.regions where region_id = 4;
    ORA-04098: trigger 'HR.DELREGION' is invalid and failed re-validation.......
    However, I try exactly the same trigger in the SQLPLUS command console, it works just fine.
    Finally, I found out I should click the "Run Script" button instead of the "Execute Statement" button..... :-)

  • Create DB through SQL*Plus

    What is the syntax used to create a database within SQL*Plus (my
    assumption as an Oracle newbie is that it can be done)?
    A "Create Database <dbname>" command returns an insufficient
    privileges error (user = system).
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi
    To create database from SQL*Plus you need to use connect as
    sysdba. But not only this. The hole procedure is very dificult.
    You need to set iniSID.ora file, setup environment variables and
    so on. It is easy to use graphical tools.
    But if you want to know more about database administration it is
    good idea to create at least one time database from 'scrap'.
    Read create database topics in Oracle Database Administration
    Guide. If you do it alone it will be great task. Good luck.
