Database names in a combobox

Hi Everybody,
I really need your help!!!
I'm wondering if it's possible in Java to read all the database names that are installed in the computer. For example, I have about 3 databases in DB2 with the names: AAA, BBB, CCC and I want to put these names in a Combobox so that I can choose to which one to connect.
Connecting to the database or adding Items to the Combobox is not a problem , but I don't know how to get the names dynamically, I mean to avoid writing the names of the databases in a file.
Thanks in advance for any help

IF your DB2 JDBC driver supports it then you can use java.sql.DatabaseMetaData to get the names of databases. Use the method getCatalogs()

  • Passing the database name as a PL/SQL procedure parameter

    How do I pass the name of the database as a parameter to a procedure?
    If dbs is the variable name to which I pass the database name as shown in the example,
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Extract_gl_acct_Tbl(dbs varchar2)
    and I use dbs in the code as follows,
    SELECT ACCOUNT,
    SETID
    FROM SYSADM.PS_GL_ACCOUNT_TBL@dbs
    It gives me an error saying 'ORA-04054: database link DBS does not exist'.

    You will need to use dynamic SQL to handle this:
    create or replace ...
    is
    type rc is ref cursor;
    v_rc rc;
    begin
    open v_rc for 'select ... from sysadm.ps_gl_account_tbl@' || dbs;
    fetch v_rc into ... -- some variables
    -- if multiple rows, you'll need to do the fetch in a loop and exit when v_rc%notfound.
    close v_rc;
    end;

  • Error: The specified mailbox database [Mailbox Database Name] does not exist, when you try to export mailbox in Exchange 2007

    [Symptom]
    ======================
    In Exchange 2007, when you want to export mailbox to a .pst file, you should run the
    Export-Mailbox cmdlet from a 32-bit computer that has the following installed:
    The 32-bit version of the Exchange management tools
    Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 SP2 or later versions
    If not, you may encounter the following error message:
    You check that you have these required installed, but you get the error below when you run Export-Mailbox in EMS.
    “The specified mailbox database [Mailbox Database Name] does not exist.”
    [Cause Analysis]
    =======================================
    This is because that the account you use to run Export-Mailbox cmdlet don’t have the Exchange Server Administrator role assigned.
    You can check if this account has been delegated the Exchange Server Administrator role through the following path.
    EMC -> Organization Configuration-> Check permissions in the result pane.
    To delegate this Exchange Server Administrator role, right click on the
    Organization Configuration node and choose Add Exchange Administrator,
    you will see the Add Exchange Administrator window.

    Hi,
    Based on my test, if you make the user the owner of the database (rather than a user with the db_owner role), when you create a query, it creates it under the dbo schema rather than DOMAIN\username.
    Steps to do so (in Management Studio):
    Right click database, select Properties 
    Click File 
    Change Owner in the textbox 
    OK to confirm 
    Downside - other users under db_owner role will still have their username appended. So schemas have to be created for these users.

  • How to develop a report in Crystal with flexible database name?

    Hello
    I am a Project Manager of a project of developing reports in Crystal 11.
    The idea is to develop reports on top of the content in MS SQL tables.
    The initial testing and demonstration to the customer is done within the Crystal development environment.
    In a later stage, we need to integrate the reports with C# WPF application, using Crystal control.
    We currently use ODBC connections.
    We want the flexibility to set the actual database dynamically, by using the "default database" of the ODBC connection (or any other way). In other words, we want not just the flexibility to change the database server, but work with different database names, like "ProductDB_TEST", "ProductDB_PROD" etc. - without changing the report.
    Unfortunately, we got the answer from the developer that the database name should be pre-defined for a given report. Although the connection can be set to another server, the DB name cannot be set dynamically.
    Looking into the "Database" -> "Show SQL Query" menu, we see the following piece inside the query:
    INNER JOIN "DATABASE_NAME"."dbo"."IncidentTypeSnapshotData"
    So it looks like the query itself contains the DB name.
    Is it really a limitation of Crystal, or rather the developer working on the project doesn't know the trick?
    Thanks for any hint

    CR CR 2011 / "Crystal reports For Visual Studio 2010", you are correct.
    Re. the database thinggy. You can connect to a database via ODBC, OLE DB or in some instances natively. Once a report is created you an change the datasource. A good sample app on how to do this is  csharp_win_dbengine / vb_win_dbengine. A link to the samples is here:
    Crystal Reports for .NET SDK Samples - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
    More info on connecting to dbs and changing them is in the developer help files:
    SAP Crystal Reports .NET SDK Developer Guide
    SAP Crystal Reports .NET API Guide
    More info on CR APIs for .NET (applies to all versions of CR and VS):
    Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 Walkthro... | SCN
    You can also use ADO .NET Datasets and in this way you handle the database connections in your app. A good sample is csharp_win_adodotnet (also available in VB) - same link as above.
    More info on datasets:
    Crystal Reports Guide To ADO.NET
    Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET - Walkthrough - Reporting Off ADO.NET Datasets
    For more complicated operations (e.g.; changing a report from ODBC to OLE DB, changing one table, etc., you will want to use the InProc RAS SDK that is also available in CRVS. Developer help files are here:
    Report Application Server .NET SDK Developer Guide
    Report Application Server .NET API Guide
    Sample apps are here:
    NET RAS SDK Samples - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
    and here:
    Crystal Reports .NET In Process RAS (Unmanaged) SDK Sample Applications
    More info on RAS SDK:
    How to Use The RAS SDK .NET With In-Process RAS Server
    Lastly, do use the search box in the top right corner. I find simple search strings such as 'crystal net parameter' return best results (KBAs, Blogs, docs, wikis, discussions and more).

  • How can I get a list of database names from environment

    Hi,
    How can I get a list of database names from environment.
    I had found a method in JE API Docs named Environment.getDatabaseNames(), and i couldn't found the same method in Berkeley DB.
    I use java interface, is it supported?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    I don't know if it would work for you, but have you checked the db_archive utility at:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17076_01/html/api_reference/C/db_archive.html
    Check the -s option.
    Thanks,

  • Can we enable Database Name box while scheduling report

    Hi, I am boxi administrator and I am working on a unique client requirement. I don't know if it needs to be in administration forum or crystal reports.   we are using crystal reports  and  We are on boxi R2 SP3 on IIS.
    We have 8 DB servers for load balancing ( look www.intersystems.com for details of how). We want to publish report in BOXI and user will then schedule report. We don't want multiple copies as it will be difficult to maintain at several places. So please rule out the possibility of  8 copies of same Crystal report connected to each 8 DB servers.
    When user schedules report then we want to load balance the DB servers i.e. we have defined 8 ODBC connections on each application servers and want to use all ODBC ( DB) for each report. When we schedule reports then I see server name and Database name is disabled in Database logon properties.
    Please let me know if this  is possible. We will be using standard infoview to schedule reports.
    Thanks,

    This is not feasible. I figured out one option that is using Virtual IP with Load balancer. We can load balance ODBC using this. This is tested in another project of state govt.
    Thanks,

  • How can I get a report to use a DSN instead of a database name?

    DSNs are great things.  By using a DSN in a database connection string, you don't have to worry about what happens if you have to look at a different database, or if a database name changes.  All you have to do is change the database the DSN points to, and everything that was built using that DSN still works.
    Everything, that is, except Crystal Reports.
    I am using CR XI.  Our customer's database is named "Anneal", and it uses PostgreSQL.  I have several copies of that database, taken at different times and for different purposes, on my machine:  "Anneal", "AnnealTest", "Anneal_2_8_10", and on and on.  I also have a DSN named "WinCaps".  The reorts I have developed for this customer were set up to use an ODBC connection based on the WinCaps DSN.  But if WinCaps pointed to the "AnnealTest" database when it the report was created, and then I delete the AnnealTest database and change the WinCaps DSN to point to a database named "Anneal", and then try to open the report, I get a complaint that the AnnealTest database does not exist!  Yes, I know it doesn't exist.  I am expecting CR to use the DSN I told it to use, which should get me to the Anneal database.
    The fact that CR complains about the AnnealTest database tells me that internally, CR is retrieving the actual name of the database and storing that instead of storing the DSN name, completely defeating the purpose of the DSN.
    Is there any way I can set up my report to use whatever database the DSN happens to be pointing to, instead of the database the DSN pointed to at design time?
    Thanks very much!
    Rob Richardson

    Hi Rob,
    Crystal assumes you are setting location to the database and it stays that way when run. Yes we do keep the connection info in the RPT file.
    There's a few options that may help. First, can you upgrade to CR XI R2? It' still supported...
    Go to this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
    Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
    Second, in the report itself check on the Verify on first refresh, save the report and then test it on another PC connecting another database.
    Next option to to try these registry key changes, usual warnign about altering the registry:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareBusiness ObjectsSuite 11.0Crystal ReportsDatabaseOptions - VerifyWhenDBDriverUpgraded = Yes
    And try changing this one also - DontAutoConvertODBC = Yes
    Close the Designer first or your changes won't stay.
    THey may have to simply verify the data manually and then save the report so the updated location info is saved in the Report.
    Crystal is very database dependant obviously so asumming changes made to the DSN are automatically updated can cause a lot of issues for the end user also but it depends on your point of view. We consider this working as expected.
    Thank you

  • How to display database name in page footer in webi report

    Hi Every one,
    I have migrated deski report from BO 6.5 to BI 4.1. and converted Deski to WEBI in 4.1.

    I want database name in page footer.
    Please any one help me to solve this issue.
    Thanks

    Hi Thanks for your reply.
    We have tried this option but its not helpful.

    Hi,
    Can we rename the database name in oracle 10g.
    Please help

    Yes as already said, using DBNEWID Utility can renamed the database name.
    You can also take a look at the Oracle Metalink Note:429674.1 (Which was written by me) - Subject: How We Used the Oracle DBNEWID Utility to Change the Database Name

  • Logical database names

    hi experts,
                  pls give me the main logical databases names used for taking reports using SAP query in sq02.
    ex hr- pnp,material ckm etc

    Hi
    Check the tables related to LDB's
    LDBS
    LDBT
    T0220
    see the doc on LDB
    A logical database is a special ABAP/4 program which combines the contents of certain database tables. You can link a logical database to an ABAP/4 report program as an attribute. The logical database then supplies the report program with a set of hierarchically structured table lines which can be taken from different database tables.
    LDB offers an easy-to-use selection screens. You can modify the pre-generated selection screen to your needs. It offers check functions to check whether user input is complete, correct, and plausible. It offers reasonable data selections. It contains central authorization checks for data base accesses. Enhancements such as improved performance immediately apply to all report programs that use the logical database.
    Less coding s required to retrieve data compared to normal internel tables.
    Tables used LDB are in hierarchial structure.
    Mainly we used LDBs in HR Abap Programming.
    Where all tables are highly inter related so LDBs can optimize the performance there.
    Check this Document. All abt LDB's

  • SQL script based on hostname and database name?

    I am trying to write a script that I can run on several unix servers and databases that will do different sql statements based on which server and database it is being run in.
    Something like:
    if hostname = 'A' and database name = 'D' then do this
    else if hostname = 'B' and database name = 'F' then do that
    I have tried many diifferent combinations of shell scripts and sql scripts but can't seem to get anything that works.
    Can someone help me out? Thanks.

    Since you are already able to get he db and host info, you are well on your way to branching based on that information. All you need is the basic framework:
    declare
      db VARCHAR2(30);
      host VARCHAR2(30);
      sqlcmd VARCHAR2(4000);
    begin
      select sys_context('userenv','host') host
           , sys_context('userenv','db_name') db_name
        into host
           , db
        from dual;
      case
        when db = 'XE' and host = 'mypc' then
          sqlcmd := q'[local_package.do_something('parm1', :db, :host)]';
          execute IMMEDIATE sqlcmd USING db, host;
        when db = 'DEV' and host in ('serv1','serv2') then
          sqlcmd := q'[different_packge.do_something('parm1', :db, :host)]';
          execute IMMEDIATE sqlcmd USING db, host;
        else
          dbms_output.put_line('unrecognized db/host combination: '||db||', '||host);
      end case;
    end;
    /In this example I've used dynamic SQL since not all instances are guaranteed to have any or all of the package procedures referenced in the dynamic sql. With out the dynamic sql, you would get errors and be unable to run the script on any instance lacking one or more of the reference package procedures..

  • Can not connect the database via query string (C#). The SQL Server Management Studio is showing the full path of a location instead of database name.

    I can not connect to the database via C#. The database is showing full path of the database file instead of the database name. See the pic: a database showing only name 'emart' and the other database showing the full path.
    : Robby

    Hi,
    According to your post, I know that the database name is showing file path of the database rather than the database name in SQL Server Management Studio. You were not able to
    establish a connection to the database using C#.
    As Olaf said, was any error message thrown out when the connection failed? How did you create these databases?
    You can use the following T-SQL to attach the database and see if the issue persists.
    CREATE DATABASE
    databasename
        ON (FILENAME = 'filepath _Data.mdf'),
        (FILENAME = 'filepath_Log.ldf')
    FOR ATTACH;

    Hi Mseberg,
    As of now I do not have standby INIT file and one which INIT file which I am showing here that's for my primary database i.e mydb. I would like to let you know I am planning to implement dataguard where mydb would be my primary database ad orcl would be my stabd by database. Before creating standby database I am preparing all initilization parameter in my primary database.
    I have started my database with SYSDBA but still getting the same error. Please check below:
