Database - Show SQL Query question..

Greetings:
I am helping a co-worker with Crystal. I don't use crystal but I am able to explain the problem. My co worker is currently using crystal reports 8.5. If he pulls a query and the report is generated he can then click on Database menu then click on Show SQL Query. From there he is able to edit, add, remove fields. Now we want to place him on Crystal V10. When he does the same task, instead of being able to edit the Show SQL query he can only view it. Is there a way around this so that he can Edit the sql query in version 10 or did that feature go away in versions 9 and above. Also we are going to Purchase Crystal 2008, is this feature available in 08? Any help would be appreicated..

Hi there!
I have the same problem as described above. I have been asked to figure out what is wrong with one of the reports that used to work when we used MAS 4.05. We are now on MAS 4.20 with Crystal Reports v.10 and the report fails to run. I loaded the report into Crystal to see if I could see the problem and I discovered that the report is still trying to access a table from the old MAS database. The SQL code as shown in the Show SQL Query window is as follows:
SELECT "AR_InvoiceHistoryHeader"."InvoiceNo", "AR_InvoiceHistoryDetail"."ItemCodeDesc", "AR_InvoiceHistoryDetail"."ItemCode", "AR_InvoiceHistoryDetail"."ExtensionAmt"
FROM "AR_InvoiceHistoryHeader" "AR_InvoiceHistoryHeader", "AR_InvoiceHistoryDetail" "AR_InvoiceHistoryDetail"
WHERE "AR_InvoiceHistoryHeader"."InvoiceNo"="AR_InvoiceHistoryDetail"."InvoiceNo" AND "AR_InvoiceHistoryHeader"."HeaderSeqNo"="AR_InvoiceHistoryDetail"."HeaderSeqNo" AND "AR_InvoiceHistoryHeader"."CommissionAmt"="AR_InvoiceHistoryDetail"."CommissionAmt" AND ARO_InvHistoryDetail."SOItemNumber" <> 'COMMENT' AND ARN_InvHistoryHeader."InvoiceDate" = {d '2007-09-21'}
ORDER BY "AR_InvoiceHistoryHeader"."InvoiceNo"
The problem is that ARN_InvHistoryHeader needs to be AR_InvoiceHistoryHeader and SOItemNumber needs to be ItemCode.
When I go into the Database Expert, I can only see the tables in the FROM clause. I don't know how to modify the WHERE clause. It kind of looks like this report was only partially converted to the new version. Is there a way to changed these attributes without rebuilding the whole report?
By the way, I apologize for not setting my SQL off in a code box, but I tried that and it caused the page to be very wide with no horizontal scroll bar.

Show SQL Query is Incorrect

Crystal 11.5.0.313
I removed all conditions from the Select Expert but when I go to Database, Show SQL Query it includes a WHERE condition that is restricting the data. The report doesn't have any commands but one may have existed in the past. Is my report corrupt or something? How do I get it to "refresh" that SQL Query without having to recreate the whole report.
Thanks.

Hi,
Try to update datasource from .Database Expert->Set datasource.
Now refresh the report.

Show SQL Query to be showed in Text object at the report

Is there any way where I can take/copy the query showed in "Database->Show SQL Query" to be showed as a field in a TextBox inside the report.
So it is a bit clearer what I am trying to do, it is to get who, when and what runs that report.
Thanks in advance
Tonio

Hi Toni,
I am not sure if I have understood your requirement. If you could elaborate what you are trying to do then i may be able to help.
I understand you want to copy the query which is displayed in DATABASE->Show query name... I hope u are refering to SQ01 trx...
I am not sure what next part..

Issue in creation of group in oim database through sql query.

hi guys,
i am trying to create a group in oim database through sql query:
insert into ugp(ugp_key,ugp_name,ugp_create,ugp_update,ugp_createby,ugp_updateby,)values(786,'dbrole','09-jul-12','09-jul-12',1,1);
it is inserting the group in ugp table but it is not showing in admin console.
After that i also tried with this query:
insert into gpp(ugp_key,gpp_ugp_key,gpp_write,gpp_delete,gpp_create,gpp_createby,gpp_update,gpp_updateby)values(786,1,1,1,'09-jul-12',1,'09-jul-12',1);
After that i tried with this query.but still no use.
and i also tried to assign a user to the group through query:
insert into usg(ugp_key,usr_key,usg_priority,usg_create,usg_update,usg_createby,usg_updateby)values(4,81,1,'09-jul-12','09-jul-12',1,1);
But still the same problem.it is inserting in db.but not listing in admin console.
thanks,
hanuman.

hi vladimir,

It is a sequence.
See here for details on oracle sequences:
http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/sequences.php
Most of the OIM database schema is created with the following script, located in the RCU distribution:
$RCU_HOME/rcu/integration/oim/sql/xell.sql
there you'll find plenty of sequence creation directives like:
create sequence UGP_SEQ
increment by 1
start with 1
cache 20
to create a sequence, and
INSERT INTO UGP (UGP_KEY, UGP_NAME, UGP_UPDATEBY, UGP_UPDATE, UGP_CREATEBY, UGP_CREATE,UGP_ROWVER, UGP_DATA_LEVEL, UGP_ROLE_CATEGORY_KEY, UGP_ROLE_OWNER_KEY, UGP_DISPLAY_NAME, UGP_ROLENAME, UGP_DESCRIPTION, UGP_NAMESPACE)
VALUES (ugp_seq.nextval,'SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS', sysadmUsrKey , SYSDATE,sysadmUsrKey , SYSDATE, hextoraw('0000000000000000'), 1, roleCategoryKey, sysadmUsrKey, 'SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS', 'SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS', 'System Administrator role for OIM', 'Default');
as a sequence usage example.

Crystal's "Show SQL Query" like feature for OracleReports

Dear experts, after finding the solution for RDf to CrystalRPT conversion, i need to ask 3 possiblities rather asking the same solution millionth time :)..
1. Does oracle have some tool, internal lab built etc as seperate downloadable to serve as Crystal's "Show SQL Query".
2. Can OracleDesigner, OracleDiscoverer help in this regard, i found no Import RDF feature there
3. Can Oracle Optmizer be intercepted to show what resultant SQL(s) it ran for that report.
4. Is there any way to intercept, diagnnose the SQL runing at Database so we grab the SQLs from there.
I have opened an RDF in Notepad and though SQLs etc are visible unencrypted still it seems work of months or years for me.
very thank full.

Can v$session, v$sql http://www.oracle-training.cc/oracle_tips_v$sql.htm help for this... how to see which SQLs are sent by a particular report by a particular machine.

How to enable show SQL Query in Crystal report tool

Hi,
How can we enable the show SQL Query under Database tab in crystal report...
We have a requirement to modify the SQL query in Crystal reports.
Thanks,
Gana

Gana,
CR has an "Add Command" feature that will allow you to use hand-coded SQL as your data source.
Look at Defining an SQL Command in CR's online help (F1).
If a command was used in the original report creation, it's a simple matter to go in and edit that SQL.
If the report was not originally built w/ a Command you may find it difficult to switch over. In most cases it easier to start over from scratch, creating a new, blank report, that uses the command.

Show SQL Query

I've inherited many existing reports. They all access stored procedures in SQL Server 2000. As I've been trying to study them, I've noticed a major disconnect between the sproc referenced in Database Expert and the 'Show SQL Query' window. How can I sync these up? And how can I modify the sproc call that's referenced within the Show SQL Query? Using VS .Net, I've even looked at the underlying class file, and cannot find any reference to the actual sproc call.
Thanks.
Dave

Hi David,
Open the report in Crystal and go to Database | Set Datasournce Location. You will then be able to logon to your database and select the Stored Procedure you want. You will be prompted to set the parameters if there are any and chances are you will get a message saying the database has changed and asking if you want to update the report. Say yes to that and the report should be using the updated Stored Procedure now.
Unlike tables, Crystal is calling the Stored Procedure and executing it. This is why you can't see the code for the query and just the Call.
Good luck,
Brian

Discoverer Report showing Null VS Show SQL query showing results !!!

I created a simple Cross Tab Discoverer report from a custom SQL which has a calculation for balances. The output is giving all null values even though there are balances. The output doesn't seem right. So I copied the query from Tools-->Show SQL and ran the query in the TOAD where I'm showing balances for the report. I don't understand why it is not showing in the discoverer. Please help.
Thanks

Show SQL Query Info

It seems every portal user can use 'Show SQL Query Info' at application component manage page. How to disable it?

In case anyone is interested I found 2 methods to get round this problem:
1. First if you are calling the url directly you may need to convert some characters to their hexidecimal equivalent to make this be interpreted correctly by the browser.
i.e. Space = %20
% character = %25
& character = %26
So in the example I used this would become:
?p_arg_names=costcentre&p_arg_values=B15&p_arg_names=projsearch=%25Teach%25
Binding:
:cost_centre binding with B15
:projsearch binding with %Teach%
2. The second method is to use a pl/sql stored procedure to call the report passing the parameters in as follows.
PORTAL_CUST.P11_PROJECT_SEARCH_RESULTS.show (
p_arg_names => PORTAL.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2 (
'parameter1:' ||
'parameter2'),
p_arg_values => PORTAL.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2 (
p_parameter1_value || ':' ||
p_parameter2_value));
Cheers,
Gary.

What Option Allows Permanent Change of Query in the Show SQL Query Window?

I am trying to create a report in Crystal Reports v8.5 (or v10). I would like to create the report by simply cutting and pasting an SQL query from SQL Designer into the appropriate place in Crystal Reports. I can paste the query into the "Show SQL Query" window, but it reverts back to something else. What Option do I change to allow me to do that, i.e, change the query in the "Show SQL Query" window?

Hi Alan,
In CR10 there is no option to past SQL qurety in Show Sql command option. There is another option provided 'Add Commad' to execute customized SQL queries. After connecting to your datasource before selecting tables you can choose Add Command option and past your SQL queries.
Also you can modify the queries which you have pasted in add command.
Thanks,
Sastry

Generated SQL query question

In my OBIEE development environment, a report I create in Answers generates the following SQL query to the database:
select T29323.LOCATION as c1,
T29323.TOOL_NAME as c2,
T29323.JOB_NUMBER as c3,
from
EDB.EDB_JOB_NUMBER_PARAMETER_T_V T29323
where
( T29323.JOB_NUMBER = 1319511
and T29323.CREATION_DATE <= TO_DATE('2008-05-21 08:38:18' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
and (T29323.LOCATION in ('MOO', 'RR'))
and T29323.CREATION_DATE >= TO_DATE('2008-05-18 08:38:18' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'))
However, in my OBIEE Production environment the same report generates the following SQL query to the database;
select D1.c12 as c1,
D1.c11 as c2,
D1.c10 as c3
from
(select T29323.JOB_NUMBER as c10,
T29323.TOOL_NAME as c11,
T29323.LOCATION as c12
from
EDB.EDB_JOB_NUMBER_PARAMETER_T_V T29323
where ( T29323.JOB_NUMBER = 1319511
and T29323.CREATION_DATE <= TO_DATE('2008-05-21 09:19:03' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
and (T29323.LOCATION in ('MOO', 'RR'))
and T29323.CREATION_DATE >= TO_DATE('2008-05-18 09:19:03' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'))
) D1
Any ideas why the queries are different? I have looked through my config files to see if a setting is different, but all are the same.
I am running OBIEE 10.1.3.3.2
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
I have the same problem with generated SQL querys, I get different result with the same repository, same query in Answers, same OS... in several environments.
The BI vesion is 10.1.3.4
Any idea about the question?

Having trouble writing to a database although SQL query is correct

Hi there. I am trying to write an sql query to a database but I am failing to understand what is going wrong in terms of executing the query.
I have the following code.
static public int writeToStockTable (String suppIn, String nameIn, String typeIn, float quantIn, float priceIn, String descIn, String styleIn, String finishIn) { // Temporary variable to hold the SQL query String SQLString, SQLString2; ResultSet rs = null; // Build a string containing the SQL INSERT instruction to be used later SQLString = "INSERT INTO "+typeIn+" VALUES ('1', '" + suppIn + "', '" + nameIn + "', " + quantIn + ", " + priceIn + ", '"+descIn+"', '"+styleIn+"', '"+finishIn+"')"; SQLString2 = "SELECT Name FROM Suppliers WHERE Name = '" + suppIn + "'"; try { // The createStatement() method creates a Statement object. Object will be // attached to my reference variable (statement) defined at the top of class. statement = connectionToBellFiresDB.createStatement(); // The executeUpdate() statement can be used here to execute an // SQL INSERT instruction. rs = statement.executeQuery (SQLString2); if ((rs == null)) { System.out.println ("Trying to say no supplier"); return (-2); } else { System.out.println (SQLString); statement.executeUpdate (SQLString); } } catch (SQLException exception) { return (-1); // Return -1 if problem writing record to file } return (0); // Return with 0 if record successfully written }
Please ignore the attributes not used, it is very much a work in progress. The command that prints SQLString prints
INSERT INTO Fireplace VALUES ('1', 'a', 'a', 1.0, 1.0, 'a', 'a', 'a')
which is correct, but will return the error code -1 when asked to execute the query. The database jdbc:odbc driver has been initialised in the control panel and the program has no other problems accessing the database as far as i am aware.
Any help would be appreciated, i hate database connections :)

How do i print it out and what is a stack trace?Do you know what an exception is? If not, then you should stay far away from JDBC/Database programming for the time being.
Read [the Exception Tutorial|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/exceptions/] first.
Then: an exception has quite a bit of useful information attached that tells you what went wrong.
In your case you catch the exception and ignore everything it could tell you by simply returning -1. Returning 0 and -1 to indicate success/failure is a very bad idea and should not be used in Java code, it's a C-style convention for C-era programming languages. In Java you use exceptions instead.
For starters you could simply add "exception.printStackTrace()" in your catch-block to get some more information out of the exception.

How to backup database using sql query?

Hello,i'm student, i'm researching oracle database,i want to backup database that using sql query (like backup query in SQL SERVER) ,how to do that ??
Thank!

No, database backups cannot be done from within the database.
Commands for backups are outside of the database.
See the "2 Day DBA Guide" http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10897/toc.htm
and the "Backup and Recovery Users's (actually Adminsitrator's) Guide : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/toc.htm

Sql query question - been trying for two days

Hi guys im trying to carry out an sql query
Im using a left join to do a query, which gives me a set of results:
select COURSESTUDENT.StudentNo, COURSESTUDENT.CourseCode, COURSESTUDENT.Year, MARKS.ExamMark, MARKS.EntryNo FROM COURSESTUDENT LEFT JOIN MARKS ON COURSESTUDENT.StudentNo=MARKS.StudentNo AND COURSESTUDENT.CourseCode=MARKS.CourseCode AND COURSESTUDENT.Year=MARKS.Year
but I would like to do a select on this result but do not want to use a create view as if more than one person access this page at a time then if the servlet tries to create the view an error will occur.
I would like to do the following select statement on the results of the query above..
select * from (above) where CourseCode='ELE304' AND Year=1999;
Is this possible, im using postgres..
Please help......
thanks
tzaf

Sorry, I have never used postgres, but in several databases, the following syntax would work and provide the correct ResultSet.
select *
from (
     SELECT
         COURSESTUDENT.StudentNo,
         COURSESTUDENT.CourseCode,
         COURSESTUDENT.Year,
         MARKS.ExamMark,
         MARKS.EntryNo
     FROM
         COURSESTUDENT LEFT JOIN MARKS ON
         COURSESTUDENT.StudentNo=MARKS.StudentNo AND
         COURSESTUDENT.CourseCode=MARKS.CourseCode AND
         COURSESTUDENT.Year=MARKS.Year
     ) A
WHERE
    CourseCode='ELE304' AND
    Year=1999

SQL query question for SQL Swing Applet

Hi
I am building a little SQL Swing applet.
I was wondering if there is a SQL query statement to
find:
* The names of all the tables in the Database loaded.
* The number of tables in a database loaded.
Thank you very much in advance, A.

Not positive, but check out Connection.getMetaData(). It returns a DatabaseMetaData instance that has a number of get... methods that may provide the info you need.
