Crystal Report with 2 oracle datasources (left outer join) very slow
I've made a crystal report with 2 oracle datasources (2 commands). I'm using crystal 10.
These 2 data sources are linked with a left outer join.
The report takes a while to run (more then one hour).
i can run Both query's in a couple of seconds/minutes, but it looks like crystal is runniing the second query for each record in the first query.
When i make the same report in BO. Just 2 queries with merged dimensions in the report, it is taking a couple of minutes to complete the report.
Question is if somebody knows how crystal is handling these 2 different data sources.
Is there any way to say to crystal to fetch the data of both queries and do the join after that?
At the moment it looks like that crystal is going to the other datasource for each record in the first query, which will cost a lot of time.
Joris,
I've always had a bad time combining a Command with any other object. Performance seems to drop dramatically, just as you've described.
I can't tell you specifically why, it falls off so bad...
The solution I've used is to do a linked server query (at least that's what it's called in MS SQL Server) I've never used Oracle, but I'd be VERY surprised if it didn't have that same feature. This will keep 100% of the processing on the server(s) and will get your run times back to what you would expect.
HTH,
Jason

Problem with XMLTABLE and LEFT OUTER JOIN
Hi all.
I have one problem with XMLTABLE and LEFT OUTER JOIN, in 11g it returns correct result but in 10g it doesn't, it is trated as INNER JOIN.

Is this a bug?, Metalink says that sometimes we can have an ORA-0600 but in this case there is no error returned, just incorrect results.
Please help.

Thanks a lot, I tried with this:

)x,
XMLTABLE
'id'
passing x.id
columns
seqno FOR ORDINALITY,
id_real VARCHAR2(30) PATH '.'
)(+) y ;And is giving me the complete output.
Thanks again.

A single quote/apostrophe in string parameter passed to a Crystal Report with Command datasource connecting to a SQL Server database, using sqljdbc driver does not escape the special character correctly. When doing a preview in the Crystal Reports IDE it allows you to escape the input parameter as expected and work correctly, but through the JRC component it fails. For string parameters without special sql server characters I experience no problems at all. When replacing the Command with a direct table there is also no problem.
Reproduction:
1. create a database db1, create a table table1 with a String type column col1.
2. Create new report Report1.rpt, create a connection to above, Add Command using 'SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM table1 WHERE col1 = '{?Par1}' . Add a parameter field Par1 : String
3. In your java stand alone application using JRC add the parameter Par1 with a value "Jon Doe's Value" containing a single apostrophe. Export to PDF. (I also tried MSWord and this failed too, similar behavior). Additionally, in another test try to replaceAll("'","''") to escape it, preventing the code to break, but now it does not retrieve the expected row anymore and you end up with an empty report.

How to integrate Crystal Report with oracle JDeveloper 11g
Hi,
How to integrate Crystal Report with oracle JDeveloper 11g
Regards ,
AmolI dont think that you can integrate Crystal Reports with JDevelpoer but you can use runtime libraries to your project to get crystal report functionality
To know more please go through supported platforms

Using Command to fix null / left outer join issue
Hi
I was told awhile ago that it's possible to fix crystal's issue with left outer join and null records being eliminated.
I think i remember most of how this goes, but i can't seem to duplicate it.
1) You can't have any select expert -- record
2) You create the report normally and then make a new report using the SQL Query
- Can't remember if its the whole report or upto the tables that have hisotry (null results)
3) You move parts from WHERE to FROM
Hopefully someone can help correct the steps i'm doing wrong or add what i'm missing from this.
Below is the Query from my comlpeted report, but when i run it with the last LEFT OUTER JOIN added it removes all the products with no sales during that year.
Any help would be greatly appreciated even if it's to say this can't be done.

Take a look at what I've done with the last line of the last join. The issue is that when you left join to a table and you use that table in the Where clause, you've basically turned your you left outer join into an inner join because the record has to be there in order to get the value in the filter. By moving the filter into the join, you'll still get the rest of the data when there is no corresponding record.
NOTE: Crystal adds all sorts of "extra" stuff like quotes and parentheses that you don't need and which I have removed to make the query easier to read.

Hi Everyone,
I am still in the process of learning SQL, and I am having trouble specifically with the the left outer join. I normally join tables using equijoin's, but I am not getting the right data set returns, and thought the using a left or right outer join would resolve the problem...
Here is my SQL that is working properly with 1 left outer join. I am building the query slowly so in the next SQL you will see where I am seeing the error. I don't expect you to understand the data and columns I am trying to join, I believe the problems I am experiencing are related to syntax, and I am hoping you can find where my syntax errors are.
select
s.name as "Screen Name",
sv.view_name as "View Name",
s_view.name
from
s_screen s,
s_screen_view sv
left outer join s_view
ON (sv.view_name = s_view.name)
where
sv.screen_id = '1-866A-1X3LU' and
s.row_id = sv.screen_id and
s.repository_id = '1-866A-1' and
s_view.repository_id = '1-866A-1';
Here is the SQL where I am experiencing the following error...
Error:
ORA-00904: "SV"."VIEW_NAME": invalid identifier
00904. 00000 - "%s: invalid identifier"
*Cause:

Problematic SQL:

s_applet.name as Applet
--a.name as "Applet Name"
from
s_screen s,
s_screen_view sv,
s_view_wtmpl_it wti
left outer join s_view
ON (sv.view_name = s_view.name)
left outer join s_applet

s.row_id = sv.screen_id and
s.repository_id = '1-866A-1' and
s_view.repository_id = '1-866A-1';
Thanks in advance for your help.

s.row_id = sv.screen_id
"Oracle style" or "old style" joins have commas between tables in the FROM clause, and the join conditions are all in the WHERE clause. They do not use the keywords JOIN or ON.
ANSI style joins have the keyword JOIN between tables (sometimes accompanied by other keywords, such as LEFT, OUTER or CROSS), and the join conditions are given in the FROM clause, usually after the keyword ON.
The first example you gave is an ANSI style join. It has the JOIN keyword, not a comma, between tables.
The second example you gave:
s.row_id = sv.screen_id
could be part of either. It could occur in an ANSI join (in the FROM clause, after the keyword ON), or it could occur in an old-style join (in the WHERE clause). -

I can't seem to get the left outer join function of Crystal Reports to emulate the same SQL query in SQL 2005. Any ideas on how I can create this same query in Crystal 2008?
Thanks,

Edited by: Dominic Carissimi on Oct 28, 2008 7:56 PMIf you want the list of values for command level parameter then you need to add another command like
select PropertyField from table
and delete the links between this command and the existing command.
Now go to field explorer and edit the command level parameter and make it as dynamic and add the property field from newly added command.
Hope this helps!

OJ syntax for multi-table left outer join with MS Oracle Driver
I have a multi-table left outer join that works fine in SQL Server ODBC Driver, Oracle ODBC driver 8.01.07.00, but not with Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle 2.573.7326.0
SELECT * from { oj A LEFT OUTER JOIN B ON A.col1 = B.col1 LEFT OUTER JOIN C ON A.col1 = C.col1 }
I noticed someone had a similar problem (the proposed solution doesn't work):
http://www.justpbinfo.com/listarchive/msg02874.html
Does anyone know how to get this working with the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle? Or does it just not work?The Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle 2.573.7326.0 does perform the same 'fix up' with {oj} in Oracle 8i. The problem is that it doesn't work when joining more than two tables:
This works:
SELECT * from { oj A LEFT OUTER JOIN B ON A.col1 = B.col1}
This doesn't work:
SELECT * from { oj A LEFT OUTER JOIN B ON A.col1 = B.col1 LEFT OUTER JOIN C ON B.col1 = C.col1 }
(The second query will work with the Oracle Oracle ODBC driver, with a bit of tweaking. But I haven't found a way to get it to work with the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle 2.573.7326.0. My suspicion is that it just doesn't work.)

Left Outer Join with more than two tables in both CR 8.5 and XIR2
I am trying to create a report and I have tried two versions of Crystal but I ultimately need the report in CR8.5 for compatibility with the client's system. I think I am starting to figure out what might be wrong and it might be my understanding of SQL, but I can't see why someone hasn't needed this in the past. Ultimately I want to see all projects and any journal entry that might be posted for that project.
Database is MySQL 5.0.38 and using MySQL ODBC driver 3.51.19.
Project header table information will be populated. Each line item on a journal entry can be tagged with the project ID. But for me to pull the journal entry date I need also to link to a third table for the journal entry header info.
I want to see all projects, whether a journal entry has been posted or not.
So the links are like this
ProjectHeader --->Left Outer Join ---> JELines ---> Inner Join ---> JEHeader
I think in this scenerio Crystal is treating the LOJ as an IJ.
I created two brand new reports today, one in CR8.5 and one in CR XIR2. Once I edited the automatic CR8.5 SQL statement (which I have been doing for years, usually without problem), they both ran properly. I linked customers to their invoices. Customers without invoices showed properly. But then I linked the invoices to the payments of the invoices and immediately lost customers without orders in both reports.
So apparently only two tables are allowed in Outer Joins. Does this make sense? I checked out the w3schools tutorial on SQL and it doesn't mention this limitation and I can't find anywhere else that it specifically indicates this but all samples of code I have seen only show two tables. I just thought for presentation as a sample that was easiest to understand and we could expand as necessary.
If this is correct, how does one go about accounting for this kind of thing? One solution that goes through my mind is creating a view at the database level for the link between journal entry lines and journal entry headers. Would this be a good solution under normal circumstances?
A second option that I had to implement because of timelines, is to use a subreport linked to the main report through the project ID to pull the information for the journal entries and just pass the totals I need to the main report through a shared variable.
These aren't normal circumstances because I don't have access to the database so I can't create the view. I have come across this concept several times and I have been able to use subreports to solve it but I am trying to find a better solution for the future as sometimes subreports can be slow. So are there any alternatives I have not considered here?
TIA rasincSo after some more work and another post. I was able to get this to work.
Items disappear when linking to another table
My issues were two fold. I was selecting on the tables on the right-side of the original Inner Join. However, I was checking for Nulls. This apparently is correct but you must check for the Nulls first eg. (IsNull (JEHeader.Field1) OR JEHeader.Field1 <= 100). I had my original statement reversed checking for <= 100 before checking for Nulls.
I also did not set all links to be Left Outer Join. I had the Inner Join. I actually have about 6 tables in this report so all the links need to be set Outer Join. So this now seems to be corrected.

Left Outer Joining multiple tables to one source table FAILS with VLD-1511
Hi all,
Is it me, or is OWB unable to handle left outer joining 1 source table to multiple other tables?
I want to load a fact table so I have 1 source table with measures. This table must be outer joined to some dimensions that have their FK in the fact table.
The SQL statement would look like this (and is perfectly valid):
select ...
from input, dim1, dim2
where input.c1 = dim1.c1(+)
and input.c2 = dim2.c2(+);
I put the where clause in the joiner operator and validate, but that gives me message VLD-1511: A table may be outer joined to at most one other table.
Even splitting this up into one outer join per joiner still gives this message.
A search and look around on the forum and on metalink shows there are related issues (like bug 3334035). Seemingly creating a view is the work-around to use.....? (ie downgrading owb to a simple gui tool) }-;
Have other people experienced this problem of not being able to outer join one input table to multiple other tables?
Thanks,
EdI have had some feedback from Oracle. It turns out this has to do with 2 issues. Below I have pasted the text that Support gave me:
<---------- START QUOTE ---------->
RESEARCH
=========
Bug 3437036 KEY LOOKUP DOES NOT DETECT ORA-1417 IN VALIDATE/GENERATE STEP
Unpublished Bug 4211684 FORWARD PORT OF BUG 3437036
shows:
Some more development has been completed when this bug is fixed in Paris.
The following are the details:
1. If the join condition contains a full outer join such as
tab1.c (+) = tab2.c (+) and tab2.c (+) = tab3.c
then the new validations implemented for this bug do not apply since
in OWB, full outer join triggers generation of joins in ANSI syntax.
ANSI syntax does not have the original problem the base bug of this
bug reported.
2. If the join condition does not contain any full outer join condition,
then the join is generated in Oracle join syntax, which is subject two
several restrictions. The fix to this bug check two of the restrictions.
3. The first restriction in Oracle syntax is that the outer join operator
"(+)" can only directly be attached to a column name. If you attach it
to an expression, such as the following:
(tab1.c + 1) (+) = tab2.c
Then there will be an ORA-936 error at the time of mapping deployment.
For this case, I have added a validation message VLD-1512 to error out
this situation.
4. The second restriction in Oracle syntax is that a table can only be
outer joined to exactly one other table.
For example, this is an invalid join in Oracle syntax:
tab1.c (+) = tab2.c and tab1.d (+) = tab3.d
because tab1 is left outer joined to tab2 and tab3.
But note that the following is still valid in Oracle syntax:
tab1.c (+) = tab2.c and tab1.d = tab3.d (+)
because tab1 is left outer joined to tab2 and right outer joined to tab3.
So this latter case does not violate the restriction that "same oj" to
more than 1 table is not allowed.
If same oj to more than 1 table is specified in a join condition,
VLD-1511 will be issued, and the map is made invalid.
<---------- END QUOTE ---------->
OWB does a partial validation, ie not all access paths are (can be) checked. A full check is only done by the database itself. So some scenarios (like checking whether multiple tables are outer joined the correct way) are not checked, and in this case are flagged with an error (even though it is actually a correct scenario).
Seemingly this was not flagged with an error in earlier versions of OWB, so beware, OWB behaviour may change when upgrading...
Alternative solutions are (1) using key lookups, (2) using a view with all outer joins in there, (3) using intermediate result tables between the joins.
Hope this info helps some people prevent spending too much time on a false error message,

Left outer join Bug? Oracle 11 g.
Hi , I am facing a strange problem in oracle 11 g .
I have a select query like this
Query 1 :
Select A.name, B.name, C.name from A Left outer join B on A.id = B.id left outer join C on b.id = c.id and (Some complex condition) left outer join D on C.id = D.id;
A, B, C, D are tables.
(Assume that I have data which satisfies the above join conditions)
However I am not getting C.name in the result. Getting NULL in C.name.
Now if I add a where clause to the above query like the following Query 2 then I get C.name in the results
Consider that there is a field called field1 in table C and the value of field1 is ‘xyz’ for all the rows of table C .
Query 2 :
Select A.name, B.name, C.name from A Left outer join B on A.id = B.id left outer join C on b.id = c.id and (Some complex condition) left outer join D on C.id = D.id where c.field1 = ‘xyz’;
I find this strange , What role where clause is playing ? Why I get C.name only after adding where clause.
I also tried following setting with Query 1 however this also did not help me.
alter session set "_optimizer_join_elimination_enabled"=false;
Is oracle does some optimization if no where clause is specified ? Is this a bug?
Please help me out.
Thanks,

I have two tables and I want to return all data from the first table with a piece of information from the second based on an effective date being at least a certain value. The tables I am working with contain billions of rows so I need a solution that will also scale.
Sample tables:
create table pp ( x number, y number);
create table ec ( x number, y number, effdate date);
insert into pp values (1,2);
insert into pp values (2,3);
insert into pp values (1,3);
insert into ec values (1,2,sysdate);
insert into ec values (2,3,sysdate);
insert into ec values (1,3,sysdate+365);
commit;
select * from pp, ec where pp.x = ec.x(+) and pp.y=ec.y(+)
and (effdate = ( select max(effdate) from ec ecc where ecc.y=ec.y and ecc.x = ec.x and effdate < sysdate) or effdate is null);
The above query (and the one below) returns two rows. it does not return where the date does not meet the criteria.
select * from pp LEFT OUTER JOIN ec ON pp.x = ec.x and pp.y=ec.y
WHERE (effdate = ( select max(effdate) from ec ecc where ecc.y=ec.y and ecc.x = ec.x and effdate < sysdate) or effdate is null);
This returns the three rows BUT IS VERY SLOW when run against the billion+ row table (because we cannot correlate the subquery results.)
select * from pp LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT x, y, effdate
FROM ec WHERE effDate = (SELECT MAX(EFFdate) from ec ecc where ecc.y=ec.y and ecc.x = ec.x and effdate < sysdate)) c ON c.x = pp.x and c.y = pp.y;It would help quite a bit to know
1) your Oracle version
2) your indexes and data volumes (do BOTH tables have billions of rows?)
But here's something that may perform faster.
ME_XE? WITH Maximizied AS
2 (
3 SELECT
4 MAX(EffDate),
5 x,
6 y
7 FROM ec
8 WHERE EffDate < SYSDATE
9 GROUP BY x, y
10 )
11 SELECT *
12 FROM pp p, Maximizied m
13 WHERE p.x = m.x (+)
14 AND p.y = m.y (+);
X Y MAX(EFFDAT X Y

Update Statement with left outer join
hi,
i have to update a column in table "a" from table "b" and both of them joined with left outer join
How can I do this
Thanks in AdvancePlease consider the following when you post a question. This would help us help you better
1. New features keep coming in every oracle version so please provide Your Oracle DB Version to get the best possible answer.
You can use the following query and do a copy past of the output.
select * from v$version 2. This forum has a very good Search Feature. Please use that before posting your question. Because for most of the questions
that are asked the answer is already there.
3. We dont know your DB structure or How your Data is. So you need to let us know. The best way would be to give some sample data like this.
I have the following table called sales
with sales
as
select 1 sales_id, 1 prod_id, 1001 inv_num, 120 qty from dual
union all
select 2 sales_id, 1 prod_id, 1002 inv_num, 25 qty from dual
select *
from sales 4. Rather than telling what you want in words its more easier when you give your expected output.
For example in the above sales table, I want to know the total quantity and number of invoice for each product.
The output should look like this
Prod_id sum_qty count_inv
1 145 2 5. When ever you get an error message post the entire error message. With the Error Number, The message and the Line number.
6. Next thing is a very important thing to remember. Please post only well formatted code. Unformatted code is very hard to read.
Your code format gets lost when you post it in the Oracle Forum. So in order to preserve it you need to
use the {noformat}{noformat} tags.
The usage of the tag is like this.
<place your code here>\
7. If you are posting a *Performance Related Question*. Please read
{thread:id=501834} and {thread:id=863295}.
Following those guide will be very helpful.
8. Please keep in mind that this is a public forum. Here No question is URGENT.
So use of words like *URGENT* or *ASAP* (As Soon As Possible) are considered to be rude.
