Datatable - One column bound, one column dependent

Hi,
I am trying to make a datatable. What I want, which gives me some difficulty, is one column bound to data, while the next column uses that data to decide what to print.
Specifically, here is what I am trying to do. I have a column in the table pulled from a database column. The only values are 1 and 0. If it is 1, I want the second column to say "working" and if it is 0, to say "not working".
Please let me know a way to do this. Thank you.

Thanks for your reply. I figured out a way to show what I wanted another way. I put two static texts in the same column as the 0/1 column. I made a boolean property which was false when {currentRow.getValue['colName']} was 0 and true when it was 1. Then I bound the render property of the 2 static texts in the column to the boolean. The value I used for the "working" text was {boolProperty} and for "not working" I used {not boolProperty}.
This strategy works really well.

  • Multi-column Index vs One index for each column

    Hello everyone,
    i have one table about 20 000 000 rows, some developers have to generate reports on it and i want to create indexes on this table.
    The table has 34 columns, no primary key, no unique keys.
    The "where..." clause of the reports usually use 8 columns but some reports uses 8 + some other columns.
    can any one help me on what kind of indexes do i have to create?
    1. one index for each column used in "where clause"
    2. one index for 8 columns and some other indexes for other used columns
    3. one index for all columns

    or something else etc...What's the version of your data base? what kind of database you have, DWH or OTLP? The answer might depend on the type of database as far as bitmap indexes might suit or might not depending if you are runing DWH or OLTP kind of database
    Let me suppose that you are runing OLTP database and you have a where clause with 8 columns.
    1) are all those where clause equalities (where col1 = and col2 =) or there are inequalities?
    2) could you evaluate the most repetitive columns?
    3) could you know the column that could have the best clustering factor (the column which most follow a certain order in the table)
    Based on that I would suggest to create one b-tree index having 8 columns (even though that it seems for me to high) this index should follow the following points:
    1) put the most repetitive column at the leading edge (and compress the index if necessary)
    2) put the columns that are used in equalitity predicate first
    3) put the column having the best clustering factor first
    The most precise index you have the best access you could gain.
    Of course that you have to know that an index access is not always good and a FULL table scan is not always bad.

  • SQL update one column from another column

    I'm looking for a way to update a SQL column with a portion
    of info from another column in the same table.
    example of a sql command
    UPDATE table1
    SET table1.columnname1 = table1.columnname2
    FROM table
    WHERE blah blah blah
    Here's the thing... I only need a portion of the data found
    in the source column. I'm not sure how I would do this then.
    for example, the database has countries and states combined
    into one column like this 'US-DC', 'US-CA', US-FL', etc. I want to
    separate these into two columns, a country column and a state
    column.... and I dont want to go though all the results and do this
    line by line. How would I write the SQL command so that it puts
    just the country in the country column, and puts just the state in
    the state column, and it omits the dash all together.
    any ideas?

    It depends. Are you using PHP and mySQL or ASP and SQL?
    If you are using mysql and PHP you could use the following
    code to loop through all records in your datatbase.
    $sql="SELECT * FROM tablename"; //SET tablename to the name
    of your database table.
    $result=mysql_query($sql)or die(mysql_error(). " - $sql");
    for($x = 0; $row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result); $x++){
    //set up the variables from the table
    $ID=$row['ID']; //this is the primary key
    $var1=$row['contrystatecolumn']; //this is the name of the
    column which holds the country-state
    $var2=explode("-", $var1); //now we explode the string to get
    the country and the state seperated and place the results into an
    array
    $country=$var2[0]; //this is the first piece of the exploded
    string in the array
    $state=$var2[1]; //this is the second piece of the exploded
    string in the array
    //now we update the database record with the new information
    //remember to replace the tablename with your actual table
    name and the columns country and state with the acutal names of
    your columns in your table
    $sql2="UPDATE tablename SET country='$country'.
    state='$state' WHERE ID='$ID'";
    $result2=mysql_query($sql2)or die(mysql_error() . " -
    $sql2");
    This code will loop through every record in your table and do
    what you want very quickly.
    Hope this helps

  • Hide a column in one table view but show it in another

    I need to hide a column in one tables view but show it in another table view in the same report. Is this possible?
    Any help on this is appreciated.
    Edited by: VNC on Jan 11, 2010 9:26 AM

    Hi VNC,
    If you're crafty with javascript, you could probably write a script that would set the CSS property DISPLAY to NONE to hide the column in the table view you didn't want but leave it there in the view you did want.

  • More than one SDO_GEOMETRY columns in one Oracle 8i spatial table

    I have a spatial table as follows:
    CREATE TABLE TEST(
    ID VARCHAR2(255) NOT NULL,
    POINT MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY,
    LINE MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY,
    POLYGON MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY,
    PRIMARY KEY(ID));
    Is it a good practice to have more than one SDO_GEOMETRY columns
    in one spatial table? What are the drawbacks if any to have a
    spatial with more than one layer?

    I have one question about more than one SDO_GEOMETRY columns
    in one table in Oracle 8.1.7. When I wanted to create two
    spatial indices for this table, every time I got some error.
    Can anyone tell me how to figure it out?
    Thanks very much,
    Fan Fan,
    You need to insert metadata record before creating spatial
    indices.
    Try the following:
    REM USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA :
    REM insert a row for the geom layer for TEST TEST2 tables
    REM
    INSERT INTO USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA

  • I can't import a table contains BLOB column  from one user to another user.

    1) I create two user both have connect role,and each has its own tablespace, DDL:
    create user d2zd identified by d2zd default tablespace d2zd quota unlimited on d2zd account unlock;
    grant connect to d2zd;
    create user d3zd identified by d3zd default tablespace d3zd quota unlimited on d3zd account unlock;
    grant connect to d3zd;
    2)Then enter oracle as d2zd and create a table contains BLOB column and insert data to the table.
    3) export d2zd as follow:
    exp d2zd/d2zd file=d2zd.dmp
    4) import to d3zd as follow:
    imp d3zd/d3zd fromuser=d2zd touser=d3zd file=d2zd.dmp
    the question is the table with BOLB colum can't be import,
    it says:have no privilege on tablespace d2zd.
    How can I import a table contains BLOB column from one user to another user?

    Hi - the reason for as our friend already told ist that a blob can be stored outside of the table segment, in another Tablespace, This is for performance reason.
    Sou you would need to have Quota on two tablespaces.
    the one which holds the table segment the other which holds the blob(segment).

  • More than one index for a column.

    Hi,
    I am trying to create more than one index for a particular column of the table.But oracle does not allow more than one index for a column.
    I just want to make sure whether we can add more than one index for a column
    and if yes what are the scenarios.
    Because as far as i know some database allows more than one index for a single column.

    You cannot create more than one index for the same column(s).This is not so true Nicolas. Look at following example:
    SQL> create index idx_mytest_id on mytest(id);
    Index created.
    SQL> create index idx_mytest_id_desc on mytest(id desc);
    Index created.
    SQL> create index idx_fbi_mytest_id_upper on mytest(upper(id));
    Index created.
    SQL> create index idx_fbi_mytest_id_upper_desc on mytest(upper(id) desc);
    Index created.
    SQL> create index idx_fbi_mytest_id_lower_id on mytest(lower(id));
    Index created.
    SQL> create index idx_fbi_mytest_id_lower_id_dsc on mytest(lower(id) desc);
    Index created.
    SQL> create index idx_fbi_mytest_id_tr_up on mytest(trunc(upper(id)));
    Index created.
    -- I can still continue but for this example this will be enough
    SQL> select index_name from dba_indexes where table_name = 'MYTEST';
    INDEX_NAME                                                                                                    
    IDX_MYTEST_ID                                                                                                 
    IDX_FBI_MYTEST_ID_UPPER                                                                                       
    IDX_MYTEST_ID_DESC                                                                                            
    IDX_FBI_MYTEST_ID_UPPER_DESC                                                                                  
    IDX_FBI_MYTEST_ID_LOWER_ID                                                                                    
    IDX_FBI_MYTEST_ID_LOWER_ID_DSC                                                                                
    IDX_FBI_MYTEST_ID_TR_UP                                                                                       
    7 rows selected.You can see 7 indexes for one column (ID) and I could still continue...
    So according this test we can say you can't create more than one index for one column (or the same group of columns in case of composite index) with same condition(s).

    Or simplified: you can't create the same index for same column(s) twice :-)

  • Help needed in returning multiple columns from one field

    Hi,
    I have been given a task to rewrite the query (see below), so that I get three columns from the one field, based on their contents.

  • Move column from one place to another..

    Hi
    I need to  arrange the order in which the columns are displayed in my ALV Grid displayed so that i can move the columns from one position to another but its not been allowed in the program so could u pls suggest which field needs to be set for this?
    Regards
    Gunjan

    Hi
    You can use the following statement
    ls_fcat-col_pos           =  01.
    By using this you can fix your column position
    or else to sort the column try like this
    sort-spos = '10'.
    SORT-FIELDNAME = 'Years'.
    SORT-TABNAME = 'DATA_TAB2'.
    sort-UP = 'X'.
    sort-subtot = 'X'.
    SORT-GROUP = '* '.
    APPEND SORT. CLEAR SORT.
    In the It_SOET internal table write:
    IT_SORT-Group = 'X'.

  • How to add one date column and charecter column

    hi all,
    i have 3 column start_date(date),end_date( date),duration (varchar2)
    i am trying to add start_time and duration like this
    end_date := to_char(start_time) + duration;
    but its showing value_error
    how to add one date column and charecter column.
    Thanks

    you need something that does:
    end_date (DATE) := start_date (DATE) + <number of
    days> (NUMBER)Not necessarily, because if the duration is just a string representation of a number then it will be implicitly converted to a number and not cause an error
    e.g.
    SQL> ed
    Wrote file afiedt.buf
      1  with t as (select to_date('01/07/2007','DD/MM/YYYY') as start_dt, '3' as duration_days from dual)
      2  -- END OF TEST DATA
      3  select start_dt + duration_days
      4* from t
    SQL> /
    START_DT+

  • How to insert select columns from one internal table to another

    Hi,
    How to insert select columns from one internal table to another based on condition as we do from a standart table to internal table.
    regards,
    Sriram

    Hi,
    If your question is for copying data from 1 int table to other ;
    we can use
    APPEND LINES OF it_1 TO it_2.
    or if they have different columns then:
    loop at it_1 into wa_it1.
    move wa_it1-data to wa_it2-d1.
    apped wa_it2 to it_2.
    clear wa_it2.
    endloop.

  • How can I select rows of cells and merge them vertically into one cell in each column?

    I'm working in CS4 and need to be able to select 2 to 6 rows of cells (with many columns) in a table and then merge the selected cells vertically into one cell in each column. A few cells in the chart will not need to merge so I must select the ones that do. I have almost 100 pages of charts with cells that need merged this way by Tuesday. Please help!
    Top chart example needs to change to the bottom example.

  • How to display more than 30 columns in one line?

    Hi,
    I want to display some 30 columns in the report.
    I dont want to split it into sub reports.
    How can i do.
    In that i have 3 groups.
    For each group i need one total.
    For example.
    after group 3 i need sub-total
    after group 2 i need total
    after group 1 i need Grand-total.
    Please help me to solve this issue.
    Thanks in advance,
    Saravanakumar.

    Sorry about that,
    Ill tell you clearly.
    Actualy I am having 12 columns, under each column, i have 5 sub-columns.
    I couldn't accomodate all the columns in a single horizontal line(I tried in A2 paper size).
    So i decided to have cross tab. Because top 5 columns can be dinamic.
    How can have subtotals inside cross tab after each group.
    Thanks ,
    Saravanakumar

  • Column text to flow across more than one page in same column

    I am trying to write a document of several pages with three, or maybe even four columns. There will be text headers in one column, alongside which there will be the main text associated with the headers. In another column there will some more key phrases, and again these will need to be lined up against particular text in the first two columns.
    I would like to make the text in one column stay in that single column across the whole document, and not flow into the next column on the particular page. I know that using a succession of text boxes is one solution, but it is clumsy and is also difficult to manage. Perhaps another solution would be to use a table, but again that feels clumsy.
    Can anyone advise on the best way to do this please.

    Hi everyone and thanks for your help. I tried to explain more clearly than I seem to have done. Walt has understood that I want the text in column one, page one, to flow to column one, page two; and the text from column two, page one, to flow to column two, page two, etc. I thought it might have to be text boxes. I now need to learn about how to 'link' them, and whether it is across or down the page I need to create the links.
    The document is an aide memoire or manual for a trainer to use. It has the media to be used in one column, the visual aid in the next column and the notes in column three. I might also include a fourth column to show essential or key questions etc that have to be used.
    Thanks again everyone.
