Database Toolkit: Reading data from SQL database

Hello,
I have been working on a automated test system storing data into a SQL server database. Once you get your head wrapped around the toolkit and walk through some of the examples it is not too bad. Writing to the database was very straight forward. I simply put all of my data including the primary keys into a cluster and inserted the cluster into the specified table. As I learned the hard way, it is very important for all of your types to match up. I saved double type from labview as decimal type in the SQL database, and long integer in labview as integer in the SQL database.
For the the read VI, this is where my questions lie. After establishing a connection reference I used the "DB Tools Create Parameterized Query" VI combined with a SQL statement to find the recordset that I was looking for. I used a standard SQL statement using the primary keys such as, "Select * From TableName Where Measurements = "%Measurements%" ". This VI creates a command reference which I then passed to multiple "DB Tools Get Parameter Value" VIs. I could not get this to work with the command reference.
I then switched over to the "DB Tools Execute Query" inputting the same SQL statement I had used before. THis VI passed a recordset reference, which I then passed to a "DB Tools Get Properties" VI to check if the database was empty or not. I then passed the recordset reference to multiple "DB Tools Fetch Element Data" VI's to read the data from the SQL database. THis worked very well.
therefore I am wondering:
What is the difference between a command reference and a recordset reference in the Database connectivity toolkit?
Why would one work and not the other?
Is there ever a case when you would want to use one method over the other?
I have asked my app guys and Labview training instructor different database type questions, and I not received a decent answer to date.
Thanks,
Jackson

Hello,
Can you pass the command reference to a single "DB Tools Get Parameter Value" VI? What exactly do you mean when you say you couldn't get this to work with command references... can you post an error message or the results? The documented difference is that they are different flavors of ADOs (activeX data objects), one is a command and the other is a recordset reference. I know this does not draw a precise distinction, but I'd like to understand this problem fully so we can find one!
Please repost with anything more you can give!
Best Regards,
JLS

Reading Data from SQL Server 2000 Linked Servers

Hello,
I have a colleague who wants to read data from a OO4O driver Linked Server my FRENCH_FRANCE.US7ASCII Oracle 8i database.
He's got some troubles to read data with "é", "à", and so on. They always replaced by "?"
Since I have ask him to use SQL Developer on his server to see if he has got configuration problems, his PL/SQL queries return "square figure" characters (not the usual "²") instead of "?".
For info, I've said it to use CONVERT(column, 'FR8DEC', 'US7ASCII) but it doesn't work too (also try with 'UTF8' or 'WE8MSWIN1252')
Is there a way with the SQL Server collation ???
How can I solve his problem ???

The select query returns the following infos :
PARAMETER VALUE
NLS_CHARACTERSET US7ASCII
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET US7ASCII
My colleague uses the 10.2.0.1.0 client with ODAC 10.2.0.2.20.
His SQL Server linked server is 2000 with the SQL_Latin1_General_CP437_BIN (he tried the use of the distant NLS_LANG option and the no set the NLS_LANG too with no results).
Thanks in advance,
Yours,

Importing data from SQL Server 2005 database

Dear Friends
Scenario:
We have built an application for which the database is SQL Server 2005.
Now, we have planned to switch over to Oracle 8i database.
There is a field with data type as Varchar(Max) – which can hold data with a maximum length of 231 characters (SQL Server 2005)
In Oracle 8i, the Varchar2 max size 4000 bytes or characters.
We want to import the data from SQL Sever 2005 database into Oracle 8i database.In the process, the value for the particular field whose data type set as Varchar(Max) in SQL Server 2005 and contains more than 4000 characters gets automatically truncated while importing into oracle.
We want the entire characters stored in the field to be imported into oracle database.
Please suggest solutions.
Thanks and regards
Bharath Kumar V

Use CLOB if the data is purely text data. BLOB otherwise.
But the question is why you want to switch over to an Oracle version which is de-supported by Oracle?

It doesn't make sense to read a database directly from an applet. If an applet needs data from a database is should request if from the server which the applet is located on and the server should do the actual database actions.
The whole point of applets is that they require no installation on the client machine. If you have to change policy files or the like, you might as well install a Swing application. Furthermore accessing a database tends to depend on how the client is set up on the network. Any sensible network has firewall settings that block access to the database ports to any external access (and, again, if you are limiting the facility to a few internal machines then why not just install a program on them).

Read data from Excel and write into oracle database

Hi
I want to know how can i read data from excel and write into oracle database using java.Kindly help me out to find a solution.
Thanks and Regards
Neeta

Hai,
I am suggesting the solution.
I will try out and let u know soon.
Make a coma separated file from your excel file.
Assuming that your requirement allows to make a csv file.
This file may be passed as an file object to be read by java.Using JDBC you must be able to populate the data base.You can also use String Tokenizer if needed.
You do not want to go via sql Loader?
For reading the excel file itself do you want java?

Loading data from SQL server to Oracle database

i want to create one table in oracle db from table in sql server. Table is huge it got 97,456,789 records.
I created db link (HS) in oracle database which is pointing to sql server. i can select that table from oracle thru db link.
select * from "dbo"."t1@dblink;
i fired below create table.
create table t2 nologging parallel (degree=3) as select * from "dbo"."t1@dblink;
and its taking long time.... but its running...
is there any alternate method to do this and and populate table in oracle db faster.
Please advise. thanks.

vhiware wrote:

and its taking long time.... but its running...I doubt that parallel processing will be used as this is unique to Oracle (using rowid ranges typically) and not SQL-Server.
is there any alternate method to do this and and populate table in oracle db faster.Part of the performance overhead is pulling that data from SQL-Server to Oracle across the network link between them. This can be sped up by compressing the data first - and then transferring that across the network.
For example: using +bcp+ to export the data on the SQL-Server box to a CSV file, compress/zip the file, scp/sftp the file to Oracle, and then unzipping it there. Parallel and direct load processing can now be done using SQL*Loader to load the CSV into Oracle.
If this is a Linux/Unix base system, then the unzip/decompress process can be run in parallel with the SQL*Loader process by creating a pipe between the two - where the unzip process writes uncompressed data into the pipe and SQL*Loader reads and loads data as it becomes available via the pipe.
Alternatively, you can do you own PQ processing. Let's say the data is date ranged. You can create a procedure on Oracle that looks something like this:
{code}
create or replace procedure CopyDay( day date ) is
begin
insert /*+ append */ into local_tab select * from remote_tab@remotedb where col_day = day;
-- add logging info, commit, etc.
end;
{code}
You can now start 10 or more of these for different days and run it in the background using DBMS_JOB.

Oracle DB: How to read data from a corrupted database table.

Hi All,
Wanted to know if there is a way I could read data from a corrupted Oracle database table?
Are there any tools that I can use? Or does Oracle provides any mechanism to do that?
Any pointers in this regard would be helpful.
Thanks in Advance.

Table shows inconsistent data.You are going to have to be more specific. Inconsistent in what sense? A correct data model should not allow for inconsistencies to crop up.
However, you may be able to use one of the many FLASHBACK features of Oracle to look at the table at a prior point in time before the corruption.
HTH!

Problem reading data from oracle database 11g using OleDbDataReader

Hi everyone I work with Visual Studio 2010 and C# programming language. I have a problem reading data from the oracle database. I created a WPF application with my main Window Xaml and class files and 1 more class called DataFiles. The thing I want is to read some data from the database on my grid in my WPF window. Problem is even though it connects to the database the grid is always empty. It isn't the connection string as I tested it and it connects to the database the problem seems to be in showing the LASTNAME (PREZIME in my native tongue) on the grid which is what it's supposed to do.
Here is the code:
Data Files Code
using System;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Data.OleDb;
namespace SQLKonekcija
    public class clsEmployee
        public string Prezime { get; set; }
    public class DataAccess
        OleDbConnection oleCon;
        OleDbCommand oleComd;
        public DataAccess()
            string connectionString = "provider=ORAOLEDB.ORACLE; data source=ORCL; password=****; user id=****;";
            oleCon = new OleDbConnection(connectionString);
        public ObservableCollection<clsEmployee> GetAllEmployee()
            ObservableCollection<clsEmployee> EmpCol = new ObservableCollection<clsEmployee>();
            oleComd = new OleDbCommand();
            oleComd.Connection = oleCon;
            oleComd.CommandText = "Select PREZIME from UPOSLENICI";
            oleCon.Open();
            OleDbDataReader Reader = oleComd.ExecuteReader();
            Reader.Read();
            while (Reader.Read())
                EmpCol.Add(new clsEmployee()
                    Prezime = Reader["PREZIME"].ToString()

I tried it, commented out the reader.read and have the following connection string
string connectionString = "provider=ORAOLEDB.ORACLE; data source=ORCL; password=****; user id=****; OLEDB.NET=True"
Unfortunately the result is the same.

Help Required -- Can we use SQL Query to READ data from SAP MDM Tables

Hi All,
Please help.........
Can we use SQL Query to READ(No Creation/Updation/Deletion just Read) Data from SAP MDM tables directly, without using MDM Syndicator.
Or direct SQL access to SAP MDM tables is not possible. Only through MDM Syndicator can we export data.
Thanks in Advance
Regards

All the tables you create in Repository comes under A2i_CM_Tables in Database named as your repository name. So the tables names are fields of table A2i_CM_Tables. Now i tried it but cant make it.
Now, I dont think its possible to extract all fields in tables and there values using select query. May be pure sql guy can do that or not.
But there is no relation of data extraction and syndicator. Data is viewed in Data Manager. and you can also store data in a file from DM also.

Hi experts, how to use open sql to read data from one " maintenance view"?

i want to use this part of data within report ,so how to use open sql statement to read data from one " maintenance view"?

Hi
You can't use OPEN SQl statements to fetch data from maintenance view
You have to use only Database views
see the different types of views and the difference
The followings are different types of views:
- Database View (SE11)
Database views are implement an inner join, that is, only records of the primary table (selected via the join operation) for which the corresponding records of the secondary tables also exist are fetched. Inconsistencies between primary and secondary table could, therefore, lead to a reduced selection set.
In database views, the join conditions can be formulated using equality relationships between any base fields. In the other types of view, they must be taken from existing foreign keys. That is, tables can only be collected in a maintenance or help view if they are linked to one another via foreign keys.
- Help View ( SE54)
Help views are used to output additional information when the online help system is called.
When the F4 button is pressed for a screen field, a check is first made on whether a matchcode is defined for this field. If this is not the case, the help view is displayed in which the check table of the field is the primary table. Thus, for each table no more than one help view can be created, that is, a table can only be primary table in at most one help view.
- Projection View
Projection views are used to suppress or mask certain fields in a table (projection), thus minimizing the number of interfaces. This means that only the data that is actually required is exchanged when the database is accessed.
A projection view can draw upon only one table. Selection conditions cannot be specified for projection views.
- Maintenance View ( SE54 )
Maintenance views enable a business-oriented approach to looking at data, while at the same time, making it possible to maintain the data involved. Data from several tables can be summarized in a maintenance view and maintained collectively via this view. That is, the data is entered via the view and then distributed to the underlying tables by the system.
Please have a look at below link. It will help you.

Read data from SharePoint using ABAP sql command

We need to read data from a SharePoint site and update the sap object services with the information. There is a lot of information on how to put data into Sharepoint from SAP, but we need to get data from SharePoint and put it into SAP. Is it possible to retrieve data from SharePoint using sql command in ABAP program? If it is possible, what do we need to do to have SAP recognize where to get the SharePoint data?
Richard Newman

Hi Newman,
You can use native sql in your abap code to read data from SharePoint's database. But I would suggest you to generate a SharePoint webservice which can provide you the neccessary data so that you can consume this webservice in ABAP
(Will be quite faster than native sql).
