Crosstab Query syntax

Hi
I'd like to create a crosstab query but I'm not sure what function to use to do it.
MSAccess has 'Transform' but what do I use in Oracle SQL?
Does anyone have any examples or references to look at? Thanks

Woof,
Here's an example. If you are running Oracle 11, then Pivot is also available.
SELECT state,
       round( sum( mens ), 2 ) "Mens",
       round( sum( womens ), 0 ) "Womens",
       round( sum( accessories ), 0 ) "Accessories"
FROM   ( SELECT demo_customers.cust_state state,
                CASE
                   WHEN demo_product_info.category = 'Mens'
                   THEN
                      demo_order_items.quantity * demo_order_items.unit_price
                   ELSE
                      0
                END
                   mens,
                CASE
                   WHEN demo_product_info.category = 'Womens'
                   THEN
                      demo_order_items.quantity * demo_order_items.unit_price
                   ELSE
                      0
                END
                   womens,
                CASE
                   WHEN demo_product_info.category = 'Accessories'
                   THEN
                      demo_order_items.quantity * demo_order_items.unit_price
                   ELSE
                      0
                END
                   accessories
         FROM   demo_order_items,
                demo_product_info,

Ora-01704 string literal too long error on long query syntax

I have a query with more than 4000 characters. I can't seem to get ociparse to accept it. The bind variables are not an issue as I am not concatenating any strings to the query syntax. It is just that my query will all the columns and unions etc exceeds 4000 characters. Any way around this short of hiding it in a view ( which I have already done for other long queries ).
System:
PHP 4.3.10
OCI driver
Oracle 9i Release 2
Thanks,
Bryan

Misread your post, sorry. Oracle limits literal strings to 4,000 chars. According to the documentation it's required that you use bind variables where possible to shorten literal strings below 4,000. You could also try a pl/sql block.
The error you're getting is being returned by Oracle, not PHP. I've seen it pop up on bugtraq a couple of times for PHP, but the answer is always the same. I'm more of a programmer than a database expert, so forgive me for not having a better answer. You may want to try posting this to one of the more specific oracle forums where someone will probably have a better answer for you.

Crosstab Query in Oracle

Dear members:
I have been trying to generate a crosstab query in Oracle using SQL.
This is the situation:
I have two tables in Oracle. One contains characteristics of institutions which people visit, and includes, amongst other fields, the ID of the institution (number) and an identificator for the district where the institution is implanted (number; ranging 1 - 18).
The second table also contains a field with the ID of the institution, and more: the date when the visit occured (date), and a sequential (unique) number for each visit.
What I need to obtain is a final table containing the following fields:
Date of the visit, total number of visitors per date of visit, and a field for each district containing the total number of visitors to instituitions of the district per each date of visit.
Can anyone give me a hint on this?
Also; is there a user-frindly interface minimizing the use of SQL that I can download from Oracle for generating this?
Thank You
André

Crosstab is a reporting function not a SQL one. SQL statements must have a fixed number of columns regardless of the data.
The only way to do it using SQL is to use PL/SQL to generate a dynamic query as shown on Ask Tom here

XPATH Database Query Syntax in an Assign

Trying to get an XPATH Database query to work by assigning the Input variable value in a simple BPEL Process to my query condition. I keep getting invalid XPATH errors. I cannot seem to figure out how get write it out.
Here is what I have:

Any help?
Thanks!!!

Ok. I have figured out how to place the condition (variable value) inside a concatentated string. So my final result is the actual XPATH Query-Database statement. But the problem is it is being returned as a String. How can I turn that final string into the XPATH expression I need? I suspect another <COPY> block could pull this off but I am not sure how to do it.

Format Column Header in Crosstab Query in Crystal Reports for Enterprise

Hi
I am using Crystal reports for Enterprise and I would like to format the Column header of a crosstab query one block of colour say light blue. However I cannot select the header in isolation to the rest of the cross tab. All I can select is either column text boxes, which doesnu2019t look good formatted as a different colour to the background of the crosstab. Or I can only select either entire column or the entire row, which kind of defeats the object of formatting just the column header itself. Is there a way to isolate the column headers so I can format just the header, as the report is looking extremely bland all in white?
Many Thanks in advance
Regards
Neil

Alright, here's what you need to do:
1) RIght-click one of the Column Headers and select 'Format Result Object Element' > Appearance > click on the formula button (fx) beside 'Fill' and use this code:
if currentrowindex < 0 then crBlue
You wanted light blue right? So, the rgb value for light blue or sky blue would be 135-206-250. So, you can change the color by modifying the formula like this:
if currentrowindex < 0 then color(135,206,250)
If this is not the exact blue you're after, just google!
Hope this helps!

Custom column in Crosstab query in BO 6.5

Hello Gurus,
I am trying to create a report in BO 6.5 using data from two flat files by linking them and I applied cross-tab template as I need row data as columns based on a field called STATUS (Approved, Cancelled, In process etc). And in this STATUS field I want to add another column (Not Ordered) on the run using some conditions which is not in the flatfile. How can I do that?
Please let me know if my post in unclear so that I can provide more data regarding the report.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Let me elaborate my requirement. I am trying to create a report using data from two flat files. I am supposed to give the status of orders. So I created crosstab query and I chose STATUS field data to be as columns. Currently it have three fields----Approved, In process, Waiting for approval. Now as per requirement I am supposed to include another column called Not applicable based on two fields Amount and Local/No local. Before this we used to create the same report uising excel and I used below formula:
=IF(AND(Amount=0,B2="Non-Local"),"Not Applicable","Approved")
But in BO if the above condition is False I want that particular record to fall under already existing "Approved" but it is creating another "Approved" status and it is not catagorizing Not applicable....I mean every record with amount =0 falls under new Approved status but not in Not applicable as expected. Hope you understand my issue.
Am i doing anything wrong in creating formula?

Display Crosstab query in DataGrid

Hi, I'm a Flex beginner. Could someone please help me how to
display crosstab query result in DataGrid? The following query
returns 6 columns:
- First column: values in the field Sell_Channel
- Second: Sum(Revenue Total) from the Revenue field.
- Others: Revenue Subtotal by Sell_Channel and quarter.
Quarters are values stored in the field name Quarter. In Datagrid,
what would be the datafield for these 4 quarter columns?
Thanks millions.
Here is my SQL:
TRANSFORM Sum(Revenue.RevenueTotal) AS SumOfRevenueTotal
SELECT Revenue.Sell_Channel, Sum(Revenue.RevenueTotal) AS
[Total Of RevenueTotal]
FROM Quarter INNER JOIN Revenue ON Quarter.FiscalQuarter =
Revenue.Quarter
WHERE (Revenue.Fiscal_Year="2006")
GROUP BY Revenue.Sell_Channel
PIVOT Quarter.Quarter;

Use for a Crosstab Query?

I have a table with the following metric data in it.
one entry for a metric, whether its integrity was checked and the date checked.
I need a report that puts all monthly activity on a single line.
Examples:
Here's what the table looks like
proj_name metric integrity_checked Date
abc broke Y 01-Apr-08
abc fixed Y 01-Apr-08
abc trashed Y 01-Apr-08
abc broke Y 01-Mar-08
abc fixed Y 01-Mar-08
abc trashed Y 01-Mar-08
xyz broke Y 01-Apr-08
yxz fixed Y 01-Apr-08
yxz trashed Y 01-Apr-08
yxz broke Y 01-Mar-08
yxz fixed Y 01-Mar-08
yxz trashed Y 01-Mar-08
Report needs to look like this.
Prog Metric Apr-08 Mar-08
abc broke Y Y
abc fixed Y Y
abc trashed Y Y
xyx broke Y Y
xyz fixed Y Y
xyz trashed Y Y
Does this call for a crosstab-type query and if so
how would I code it?
I've done one crosstab query before but can't get this one to come out right.
Thanks
David

Crosstab Query for Remaining Revenue (Count, If, Date Between )

Hi all, hope you had a great new year.
I am wanting to create a crosstab query for my Projects which shows ProjectID in the row headers and Time Periods split into months quarter or year as the Column Headers using the [DateAgreed] from the Session table.
I have created crosstabs which show revenue from sessions and count of sessions with different time periods but i am trying to make it so that it counts only completed sessions from before the column date, so that i can then multiply by the [SessionCost].
Any ideas guys?
Here's what i have been working with;
TRANSFORM Sum(([tblSession]![SessionCompleted]*[tblProject]![SessionCost])) AS Revenue
SELECT tblProject.ProjectID, tblCompany.CompanyName
FROM (tblSession INNER JOIN tblCompany ON tblSession.CompanyID = tblCompany.CompanyID) INNER JOIN ((tblProject INNER JOIN tblProjectMetrics ON tblProject.ProjectID = tblProjectMetrics.ProjectID) INNER JOIN qryProjectStatus ON tblProject.ProjectID = qryProjectStatus.ProjectID)
ON (tblProject.ProjectID = tblSession.ProjectID) AND (tblCompany.CompanyID = tblProject.CompanyID)
GROUP BY tblProject.ProjectID, tblCompany.CompanyName, tblProject.Total
PIVOT Format([DateAgreed],"yyyy-mm");
Thanks :)

Hi Gord0oo,
You could concatenates the data as a result and show in a cell.
TRANSFORM Sum([tblProject]![SessionCost])) & ";" & Sum([tblSession]![SessionCompleted]) AS Revenue

Data Entry - Crosstab Query

Is it possible to do perform data entry in a crosstab query view?

If you want to insert, update or delete in a view you need to write ON-INSERT, ON-UPDATE and/or ON-DELETE trigger and perform your DML inside these triggers ...
Hope it helps

Crosstab query is it possible in BEX?

Hi
I am working with the Marketing attributes ODS 0ATR_DS01 and I want a query that has the partner in rows with the attribute name in columns showing the attribute values i.e. a crosstab query.
I've been playing with BEx trying to create a crosstab query - something I thought should be very straight forward but I just don't seem to be able to get it to work. I searched the forums for Crosstab and don't get any hits, has anyone tried to create a crosstab - is it possible with BW - if so please point me in the right direction.
Regards
Gareth

Hi,
Make the Attribute the navigational attribute.
Then you can take Partner in rows and attribute in columns.

Crosstab Query?

Is there Oracle Crosstab query like access?

Hi,
Shirani wrote:
... Any idea to diplay data in this format using ASP Classic Code.. but connectivity with Oracle DB?Sorry, I don't know anything about ASP.
If the problem is that ASP needs to know how many columns the dynamic query will be returning, then perhaps you can do something on the ASP side like the preliminary query.
Another approach would be not to return separate columns, but to concatenate the pivoted results into one huge VARCHAR2 column, with the columns delimied as in a csv file. This might be simpler on the Oracle side; you can do String Aggregation without dynamic SQL. Your ASP application could then parse the huge VARCHAR2 to get the individual parts.

Crosstab query using pure SQL only

Hi all,
Found a lot of threads on crosstab, but none seems to address what I need. I need to perform crosstab query using pure SQL only & the number of columns are dynamic. From a query, I obtained the below table:
Name Date Amount
Alex 2005-06-10 1000
Alex 2005-06-20 1000
Alex 2005-07-10 1000
Alex 2005-07-20 1000
Alex 2005-08-10 1000
Alex 2005-08-20 1000
John 2005-06-10 2000
John 2005-06-20 2000
John 2005-07-10 2000
John 2005-07-20 2000
John 2005-08-10 2000
John 2005-08-20 2000
And I need to transform it into:
Name 06-2005 07-2005 08-2005
Alex 2000 2000 2000
John 4000 4000 4000
Reason for the columns being dynamic is because they'll be a limit on the date ranges to select the data from. I'd have a lower & upper bound date say June-2005 to August-2005, which explains how I got the data from the above table.
Please advise.
Thanks!

Hi,
I couldn't resist the intellectual challenge of a pure SQL solution for a pivot table with a dynamic number of columns. As Laurent pointed out, a SQL query can only have a fixed number of columns. You can fake a dynamic number of columns, though, by selecting a single column containing data at fixed positions.
 
 
If it were me, I'd use a PL/SQL solution, but if you must have a pure SQL solution, here is an admittedly gruesome one. It shows the sum of all EMP salaries per department over a date range defined by start and end date parameters (which I've hardcoded for simplicity). Perhaps some of the techniques demonstrated may help you in your situation.

Any Help Is Much Appreciated..

It appears as though you already have your groupings and counts per grouping, but require a ratio of each groupings count against all other counts. Is that correct ?
If so, try the new 11g analytic function, something like this:
select Grouping_Condition
,Warehouse
,ratio_to_report(Value) over () as Count_Ratio_over_Report
..

Question about WebLogic query syntax

Hello,
I am using WebLogic Server 6.0, which came as part of the WebGain
Studio SE 4.5 development kit. My question regards the Web Logic query
syntax, which I have not yet mastered.
I am trying to create a finder method that takes a single argument
of type "char" and finds all matching fields of the column "keyword" in
which the argument is the first letter of keyword. That is, if I were
only looking for fields beginning with the letter "M", I'd use:
(like keyword 'M%')
However, I'm looking for all fields beginning with the first letter
defined by the first argument. Sadly, this syntax:
(like keyword '$0%')
doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions on the correct syntax?
If this is not the right forum for this question, could someone
suggest an appropriate newsgroup?
Thanks, Dave

Hi all,

With the output of 20120801. I cannot understand why I am able to run this partition create statement by hardcoding 20120901 but passing it in as a variable I receive the error. Note that I am not having problems with the &&1 variable. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks!I don't understand why you are taking a string, converting it to a date, then converting the date BACK TO a string ... then trying to convert that string to a number.
What is the data type of the partitioning key? It appears that it is a NUMBER, but actually represents a DATE. If so, that is a fundamentally flawed design.
