Crystal XI - Cannot see SQL Tables, View, Stored Procedures

I have read a couple of similar posts but no answers. I used to be able to see tables, view and stored procedures in Crystal XI, but suddenly I cannot. I have spent days researching this, changing SQL security settings, checking options in Crystal, etc., etc., to no avail. I really need an answer to this. Does anyone know if I can call someone in support and give a credit card number for a one-time call? I don't have a support agreement. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
In the data explorer, you can see the datasources such as oracle, sqlserver etc.. If you are using oracle then right click that one, you see options, a windowss opens you need to spectify the views, stored procedures etc..
hope this helps

Import a schema (tables, Views, Stored Procedures) on logical standby

Hi,
We have a logical standby for reporting purpose. The logical standby build through data guard
we need to import a new user in logical standby using import utility. The user dump contain tables, views, procedures, packages, roles).
The new user import has to go in users tablespace.
Is is possbile to import a new user in logical standby and what are the steps.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Can you give me more details about your envirnoment configuration, O/S, DB version.
But generally i don't think that is this possible becuase as you know standby only for cloning the primary database, so you can import it on the production then it will be transfered to the logical standby database.

Requirements of SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedures to Develop Crystal Report

Hi All,
I want to learn how to create crystal report off of SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedure. So anybody please let me know from where I can download the documentation on "Requirements of SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedures for crystal report.
I am using Crystal Report XI. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Hello,
When CR uses Stored Porcedures we only look at the last SELECT statement. We can't use TMP tables because they are owned by the system and not the user. Even though you created them under your logon credentials you are not the actual owner. Or so I have found so far.... CR does not have permissions to get to those temp tables. If you can find out dynamically what the table names are called then it may work. I don't have a sample but it has the usual table info with a random GUID or temp name, really long, and changes every time.
What should work is create a real table, not one of MS's tempTables and then push all your data to that table and then the last select statement returns all of your data from that temp table:
SELECT * FROM MYTEMPTABLE.DBO.TABLE.
Then CR should ahve no issues.
It may be that the JDBC driver has problems. Test it using OLE DB or ODBC.
Thanks again

Cannot See Database Tables in BI Discoverer Admin

Hello All -
My organization recently upgraded to Discoverer 10g from Discoverer 4i. In 10g the EUL is called BIEUL and in 4i it was called V9EUL. During the upgrade, all the Business Areas belonging to V9EUL in 4i were assigned to BIEUL in 10g. I'm not sure how our DBA accomplished this part of the upgrade.
When I'm logged into BI Discoverer Admin (version 10.1.2.00.00) I am unable to see the database tables in order to create folders from them. For instance, today I want to create a brand new Business Area so I click on File...New to start the Load Wizard then I click on "Create a new business area" then I specify to load the meta-data from the on-line dictionary and click the "Next"button. In the next window (Load Wizard: Step 2) I can see all the available users as I expect so I check the user I want and click 'Next".
Here's the point where the problem arises. In the window "Load Wizard: Step 3" I see the user I chose in the "Available" list on the left, but when I click on + to see the tables owned by the user it does not expand and I cannot go any further.
I experienced the same thing when I try to add a "New Folder from Database" to an already-existing Business Area.
Many Thanks in Advance,
Patrick

At first it sounds like it's a simple matter as the EUL owner not having the rights to see the tables / views pointed to by the EUL (grants).
However, the part about the DBA where you say all BAs belonging to V9EUL in 4i wre assigned to BIEUL in 10g, I hope the DBA didn't do anything fancy. All the EUL manager should have to do is fire up the new version of Disco Admin 10g and it will see that the existing EUL is a version 4 one and will ask if you want to upgrade. Saying yes, you will get an entirely new EUL, tables, etc. created pointing to the same database tables / views as your still existing v4 EUL is.
So you'll have 2 EULs - a v4 one and a v10 one as it's not a destructive upgrade.
Is it possible the DBA hacked something? - or just a grants problem to the new EUL owner?

Drop and recreate table in stored procedure

Hi all
When creating tables using Transact-SQL scripts, I have always preferred to drop the table if it exists and then create it explicitly using CREATE TABLE. For two reasons:
1) It does not matter if it is the first time the SP is run ie. if I create the table manually in the first instance and just use TRUNCATE TABLE it could fail if the table is deleted
2) I have control over the data types of the table fields
Just recently though I discovered the error that can occur when dropping and creating a table in the same batch (see link below)
Microsoft Website
This causes me a problem when dropping and creating tables in stored procedures, as I understand that a stored procedure is in itself a single batch?
Can I avoid this error in a stored procedure whilst continuing to drop and create tables? Or should I be taking a different approach?
Coding best practice advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Thanks Ronen
Please see my second post immediately before your reply.
Given that I need to store the data output in a physical table for use in QlikView, would you suggest truncating the table each time the SP runs? And then having a script that handles both dropping and creating the physical table, and also creating
the SP?
>> QlikView
QlikView is an Israeli company, right?
In any case I am not familiar with QlikView's application, therefore I can only give you general information, based on assumptions regarding the application, and facts regarding the SQL Server.
>> for use in QlikView
I assume that external application use specific database structure (table
structure) and it is change only in rare situations (for example CMS interface might change the tables if and when a module s update/install). In this case there is no need to drop the table and recreate it and TRUNCATE is the solution.
>> would you suggest truncating the table each time the SP runs
I am sorry but i cant recommend on TRUNCATE a table each time you execute SP, without know the exact reason for this logic. It sound to me, at this point of time (with the information that we have), that this
is very bad logic (application architecture). As I wrote above, basing your application on TRUNCATING the table each time mean that you have problems with multi users. Thins about 2 people that try to execute the same SP at almost the same time. Think about
locking in the SQL Server and bad data (one truncate while the other already inserted the new data and get no rows, if there is no locking).
But TRUNCATE is much better in this case probably then DROP and DELETE, since it is faster, and locking will be shorter (hopefully the application use the correct locking). There are other reasons why TRUNCATE is better, and other people already mentioned
most of them, but time in this scenario might be critical.
>> having a script that handles both dropping and creating the physical table, and also creating the SP?
I do not undestand what is this second step. we said that you truncate the table, so why do you need to
dropping and creating the physical table and who
creating the SP?
Are you meaning that the application create the tables and SP?
There are lot of application that during installation create the database structure. is this what you mean?

Sys Tables In Stored Procedure

How can I use Sys Table in Stored Procedure.
I want to use DBA_TAB_COLOUMNS, in stored procedure.
When I used this table in stored procedure I got an error
ORA - 00942 Table or View Does not exists.
Thanks,
Ahamed

Note:
To create without errors (to compile the procedure or package successfully) requires the following additional privileges:
The owner of the procedure or package must be explicitly granted the necessary object privileges for all objects referenced within the body of the code.
The owner cannot obtain required privileges through roles.
>
You need to run
grant select on dba_tab_columns to <owner of procedure>;

What is the data dictionary that stores the SQL text of stored procedures?

I am handling both Oracle 8i on IBM AIX 5L and Oracle9i on SUN Soliars 8 /9.
What is/are the data dictionary tables, or v$ views that store the SQL text of stored procedured and triggers?
Thank you in advance!

If the procedures are not wrapped, you can view them in the dba/all/user_source view. Trigger bodies can be seen in dba/all/user_triggers view.

How to execute .sql file in Stored Procedure?

Hi,
I have an urgent requirement, where i have to execute .sql file form Stored Procedure.
This .sql file will have set of update statement. I need to pass value to this update statement.
Kindly please help me.
Regards,
Irfan

This is required as part of Data Migration where i have to do 100 of table's update. Each time update table will defer, so its better to have in separate script file (.sql). Can u paste some sample/syntax to exceute .sql file from stored procedure. I am new to this PL/SQL.
How have you determined that it's "better" to have seperate scripts? I assume you mean the table name will "differ" (and not "defer" - I assume that's just because English isn't your first language? no problem - I think I understand what you're asking).
So what I think you're asking is that you have dynamic table names but each table needs to be updated in the same way?
Question: Why do you have tables with different names that all need the same process doing to them?
Assuming it's a valid requirement (and 99% of the time doing dynamic coding implies it's not).... you could use dynamic code, rather than 'scripts'...
e.g.
create procedure update_table(tbl_name varchar2) is
begin
execute immediate 'update '||tbl_name||' set lastupdate = null';
end;
As you haven't bothered to provide a database version, any example code/data or explanation of what you're actually doing, you're not going to get any detailed answer. Please do take the time to read the FAQ and post appropriate details so people can help you.

Using temporary tables in stored procedures

Suppose that I have created a temporary table in a stored procedure using an "EXECUTE IMMEDIATE" statement. When I compile the procedure, that table is not created yet, so the compiler says that the table does not exist.
What is the way of using temporary tables in stored procedures?

It's a good practice to avoid using DDL statements being executed from stored procedures. "Truncate Table" via dynamic SQL from stored procedure is a different story and is useful in DSS environments.
But if you insist on "creating" tables using Dynamic SQL from Stored Procedures then you must also embed your DML statements in Dynamic SQL to avoid compilation errors.
Example:
Create or Replace Procedure Proc_TestDynamicSQL is
Begin
Execute Immediate 'Create table myTable as select * from user_tables' ;
Execute Immediate 'Update myTable set table_name = ''Test'' ' ; --two single quotes before and after the string "Test"
End;
In this case, Oracle wouldn't care about the table references during compilation.

MS SQL Server system stored procedures can't be migrated into Oracle 11g

During database migration from MS SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11g R2, if the application stored procedure invokes the MS SQL Server system stored procedures (for example: sp_getapplock, sp_releaseapplock ....), these SQL server system stored procedures can't be transferred. See following migrated Oracle application stored procedure for example:
create or replace
PROCEDURE spPwSysID_GetNextID
v_ID OUT NUMBER,
iv_SysType IN NVARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL ,
iv_Cnt IN NUMBER DEFAULT NULL
AS
v_SysType NVARCHAR2(50) := iv_SysType;
v_Cnt NUMBER(10,0) := iv_Cnt;
v_result NUMBER(10,0);
BEGIN
--SQL Server BEGIN TRANSACTION;
utils.incrementTrancount;
v_Systype := UPPER(v_Systype) ;
IF v_Cnt < 1 THEN
v_Cnt := 1 ;
END IF;
v_result :=sp_getapplock(v_Resource => v_Systype,
v_LockMode => 'Exclusive') ;
IF v_result >= 0 THEN
BEGIN
SELECT ID
INTO v_ID
FROM PWSYSID
WHERE SysType = v_SysType;
IF SQL%ROWCOUNT = 1 THEN
UPDATE PwSysID
SET ID = ID + v_cnt
WHERE SysType = v_SysType;
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO PwSysID
( ID, SysType )
VALUES ( v_cnt + 1, v_SysType );
v_ID := 1 ;
END;
END IF;
v_result :=sp_releaseapplock(v_Resource => v_Systype) ;
END;
ELSE
BEGIN
raise_application_error( -20002, 'Lock failed to acquire to generate Cityworks Id.' );
END;

Returning SQL cursor from Stored Procedure

Hi,
I have a query regarding returning sql cursor from stored procedure to java in oracle 11g.
I want to query some data ex: my query returns A, B, C. Also, now I want to query some other data ex: D, E, F. Now I want to return this data as an sql cursor as a single row . Example: A,B,C,D,E,F. Is it possible to return/create a cursor in stored procedure?
assume both query returns equal number of rows.. however both are not related to each other..

assume both query returns equal number of rows.. however both are not related to each other..It sounds like what you need is a ref cursor.
First thing to remember though is that cursors do not hold any data (see: {thread:id=886365})
In it's simplest form you would be creating a procedure along these lines...

Calling SQL * LOADER in stored procedure

Hi Experts,
Can we call sql*loader in stored procedures? . If yes , please let me know the syntax.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

You can also use dbms_schedular to execute any shell or batch file - i guess ->
BEGIN
-- UNIX
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job(
    job_name             => 'unix_command_job',
    job_type             => 'EXECUTABLE',
    number_of_arguments => 1,
    job_action           => '/bin/ls',
    auto_drop            => FALSE,
    enabled              => FALSE);
DBMS_SCHEDULER.set_job_argument_value('unix_command_job',1,'/tmp');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.set_attribute('unix_command_job', 'credential_name', 'TIM_HALL_CREDENTIAL');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.set_attribute('unix_command_job', 'destination', 'marge.localdomain:65001');

BI Publisher 11g - calling SQL Server 2005 stored procedure error

Hi experts
I have been calling succesfully an SQL server 2005 stored procedure for the data model of a BI publisher report in 10g, passing it a customerNo parameter.
EXEC     [dbo].[usp_WelcomeLettersConsumerNo]
          @CustomerNo = :sCustomerNo
However it does not work in 11g I get the error:
[Hyperion][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'is'.
which is frustrating as there is no 'is' in the statement (perhaps it is picking up :s?) - I wonder does anyone know if there has been a change in 11g that may be causing this?
cheers
