Date BETWEEN query with a difference?

Hi,
I have a BETWEEN query (at least I think that's what it will need), but with a difference.
Normally you would specific a field which was BETWEEN two set variables
ie. {fieldname} BETWEEN 1 AND 3
However I need mine the other way round.
I have a series of records which have a startdate and enddate held against them.
When a user submits a new record to the db, I need it to check that the starting and ending date range doesn't overlap any of the existing start-end date ranges that exist.
In order to do that I'm trying to build a query which takes in the incoming startdate variable and see if that is within any of the existing start-date-enddate dates ranges of the existing records, and then same for the incoming endate. I actually want the ones that are going to cause a problem to appear...
I;m sure there is a pretty easy way of coding this, but I'm struggling to get my head round it.
Anyone offer any advice?

You can try something like this
use adventureworks
go
select birthdate from humanresources.employeetest where birthdate between
(select min(birthdate) from humanresources.employee) and
(select max(birthdate) from humanresources.employee)

Dates Between Query :( with out TO_DATE.

Greetings,
I have a query whete in the where clause I compare a column b/w two dates. The Query looks like this,
trunc(LAST_UPDATE_DATE) BETWEEN '22-FEB-03' AND '21-MAR-03'.
This query doesn't fetch any records. Whereas when I use the query with a TO_DATE function it works fine. The query looks like,
TRUNC(LAST_UPDATE_DATE) BETWEEN TO_DATE('22-FEB-03','DD-MON-YY') AND TO_DATE('21-MAR-03','DD-MON-YY')
Ideally I can't impose this becasue the query is a generarted query by one of the reporting tools.
Kindly Help. I really appreciated your help in this regard.
Thanks,
Badhri ...

Your NLS_DATE_FORMAT is set to something other than 'DD-MON-YY'. This can be changed at a session level by executing a query
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD-MON-YY'
You could also change this at an instance level, but that would likely have side-effects on other queries. One of the reasons that not having to_date can be a royal pain.

Web Template with multiple Data Provider Query with partial authority

Dear Guru,
I have a single web template, that contains 2 query data providers (e.g. Query A, Query B), and all users access to this web template for both queries.
Now, there are some users that have authority to Query A only.
When they access to this web template, the system automatically say the users do not have authority for Query B in the variable entry screen, and show the variable selection for query A only.
And the problem comes, when user submit the variable entries, the system keep asking for the mandatory variables for query B, which the user actually not authorized to execute. How can this be fixed??
Please kindly help me. Thank You.
Best regards,
Chris

Hi all,
I am looking into the use of Javascript and CustomExtension, but still cannot find any solution.
Can I use CustomExtension to generate Javascript to redirect the page to another web template??
Can I use Javascript to check authority of the users, and alter the Web Items?
Can Anybody help? Many many thanks.
Best regards,
Chris

Transferring Data between Databases with Character Sets UTF08 and US7ASCII

Hi,
I am trying to transfer data from Oracle 10g (character set :UTF08) to Oracle 8i ( character set: US7ASCII). I have tried the transfer using the DBLinks and found that there is no way the data could be transferred from 10g to Oracle 8i.
The last option available is to use staging database for transfer. The staging database would be Oracle 10g only but the character set would be US7ASCII. I am expecting that since the character set is US7ASCII, this would be able to get compatible with Oracle 8i (US7ASCII). Secondly, Transfer from 10g to staging 10g should also work, since staging 10g would support UTF08 character set.
Kindly tell me if this option would work or if there is any other way around.
Thanks

You possibly have a fundamental problem,which is more important than any technical issues. If your UTF8 (Unicode) database stores non-english characters you will lose these characters when transferring.

Move data between tables with INSERT-LOOP?

Greetings
I need to move all the contact information (contained in 5
fields- call it the address table) into the table (call it the main
table) that contains all the other associated information. Tables
are related via the "vendor_ID" key field.
There are about 7000 records.
I tried the attached code- with no luck- am I in the
ballpark?
Thanks!
newportri

Sorry- yes the tables are in the same DB because I imported
them together.
I am trying to clean this DB up for eventual porting to SQL
Server (it is in Access now) - I saw no good reason why the
designer used 2 separate tables- one with most info on each vendor,
but split the addresses off in another table?
I guess there are lumpers and splitters- but I can't see the
point of inserting/updating/deleting form 2 tables vs 1?
ERROR: The field 'Vendor1.vendor_ID' cannot contain a Null
value because the Required property for this field is set to True.
Enter a value in this field.
Thanks for your quick response.

Synching calendar dates between 2 handhelds

Computer idiot here. Sorry if this is a dumb question. My wife and I each have a Zire 72. We want to get the calendars on each of them to show the same appointments etc. We've tried synching them thru the desktop (we have separate user names on the desktop) but that doesn't seem to work. Have also tried to beam but the handheld says calendar data can't be beamed. EIther way, we can't seem to make it happen, but I have to think that there must be a way to do this! Can anyone tell me how it can be done? Thanx!
Post relates to: Zire 72

You should be able to beam the data, sounds like you are trying to beam the calendar database file thats why its saying it can't do this, instead go into the calendar application then select menu and select send event.
There is also a program called SyncUs this will allow you to share pim data between devices with each device having its own username.

Issue with SQL Query with Presentation Variable as Data Source in BI Publisher

Hello All
I have an issue with creating BIP report based on OBIEE reports which is done using direct SQL. There is this one report in OBIEE dashboard, which is written using direct SQL. To create the pixel perfect version of this report, I am creating BIP data model using SQL Query as data source. The physical query that is used to create OBIEE report has several presentation variables in its where clause.
select TILE4,max(APPTS), 'Top Count' from
SELECT c5 as division,nvl(DECODE (C2,0,0,(c1/c2)*100),0) AS APPTS,NTILE (4) OVER ( ORDER BY nvl(DECODE (C2,0,0,(c1/c2)*100),0)) AS TILE4,
c4 as dept,c6 as month FROM

When I try to view data after creating the data set, I get the following error:
Failed to load XML
XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: . Location: http://172.20.17.142:9704/xmlpserver/servlet/xdo Line Number 2, Column 580:
Now when I remove those Presention variables (@{PV1}, @{PV2}) in the query with some hard coded values, it is working fine.
So I know it is the PV that's causing this error.
How can I work around it?
There is no way to create equivalent report without using the direct sql..
Thanks in advance

I have found a solution to this problem after some more investigation. PowerQuery does not support to use SQL statement as source for Teradata (possibly same for other sources as well). This is "by design" according to Microsoft. Hence the problem
is not because different PowerQuery versions as mentioned above. When designing the query in PowerQuery in Excel make sure to use the interface/navigation to create the query/select tables and NOT a SQL statement. The SQL statement as source works fine on
a client machine but not when scheduling it in Power BI in the cloud. I would like to see that the functionality within PowerQuery and Excel should be the same as in Power BI in the cloud. And at least when there is a difference it would be nice with documentation
or more descriptive errors.

What's the exact difference between "Query Def. Filter Value Selection" and

Hi Gurus,
what's the exact difference between "Query Def. Filter Value Selection" and "Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn" in info-object's "Business explorer" tab?
I found out that if my info-object A has a input-ready variable in a query,after the query running,in the selection screen,my info-object A's F4 value is follow the setting of "Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn",as the setting of "Query Def. Filter Value Selection" I tried every diff setting, it won't effect my query anyway.
so:
1.what's the exact difference between "Query Def. Filter Value Selection" and "Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn" in info-object's "Business explorer" tab?
2.how they effect query's presentation?
I searched forum,didn't find the answer what I want.
Thanks everyone.

Hi Denny,
I will try to explain it again.
Query Def. Filter Value Selection : Let say the value is set to "Only Values in Infoprovider"
Lets take an example infoobject - 0MATERIAL (Material)
Total material records in material Master = 1000 (master Data table /BI0/PMATERIAL)
You create a query on top of an Infoprovider using Material.
Total unique materials in Infoprovider= 500.
Now when you are in design mode in Query Designer, and you try to restrict Material by few materials (for e.g. 1, 2, and 3), for this you right click on material and select Restrict, the pop-up opens with list of materials, this list is all those 500 materials which are in the infoprovider, because the setting is "Only Values in Infoprovider". Which means then when you are trying to restrict a characterstic in query definition the list of values displayed for restricition is derived from Infoprovider.
Query Execution Filter Value Selection - I think you already know what it is , its the read mode for F4 help selection.
I hope this helps.
Thanks

OWL with Default Set containting Current Date as query parameter

Hello Everybody,
I have a custom BO which mainly consists of a name and a time period (start and end date).
Now I'd like to create a Default set like
"Give me all objects with today between start and end date."
I already tried the following:
Filling a field using UI-Scripting:
$data.UIState.Today = $controller.DateTimeUtils.DateNow;
Copy the field into the search parameter
executing the query with this search parameter.
However, I using this approach, I only managed to search for objects matching exactly todays date, but not using greater/lower comparators.
Furthermore I also searched for a field transformation giving me the current date but did not succeed.
Does anyone have any ideas how to achieve this or how to get one of the above ideas to work?
Best regards,
Ludger

Hello Ludger,
That`s what I expected: The fields do not define the interval.
Therefore you need to define it by yourself via this "less or equal".
What you can do in the UI Designer at the query definition is to provide an interval
For the field "CurrentDate" provide
- SelectOption = "between"
- Low Value = your start date
- High Value = your end date
- Select Option = "include"
HTH,
Horst

Date Query With Restricted Dates

Sorry not really an easy thing to explain:
I have specified in a Query that i Only want values with a date BETWEEN:
01JAN2002 08:00 AND 01SEP2003 08:00
Now in the same query, what is the simplest way to restrict that only the following dates are examined and not all the dates within the above time window:
Say 06/01 - 07/01
The following dates i am looking to analyze will thus be
01JUN2002 08:00 - 01JUL2002 08:00
01JUN2003 08:00 - 01JUL2003 08:00
Thanks

Had a little bit more time to test, today. So in case you couldn't find the complete soultion yourself, here you go. The records with flag='Y' are the ones that fit within your selection criteria (between any 7-OKT 8:00AM and 8-OKT 8:00AM).
drop table testDate;
create table testDate(id number,flag char,yourDate date);
insert into testDate values (1,'Y',to_date('7-OKT-2003 11:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'));
insert into testDate values (2,'Y',to_date('8-OKT-2003 7:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'));
insert into testDate values (3,'N',to_date('7-OKT-2003 3:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'));
insert into testDate values (4,'N',to_date('8-OKT-2003 11:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'));
insert into testDate values (5,'Y',to_date('7-OKT-2002 11:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'));
insert into testDate values (5,'N',to_date('6-OKT-2002 11:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'));
insert into testDate values (5,'N',to_date('9-OKT-2002 11:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'));
commit;
select id,flag,to_char(yourDate,'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS') from testDate
where trunc(yourDate,'HH')-trunc(yourDate,'YYYY')
between to_date('7-OKT-2003 08:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS')-to_date('01-JAN-2003')

You either have a SQL problem and this is the incorrect place to ask.
Or you have a Java problem in code we cannot see. When posting code use the code tags. Click the CODE button and paste your code between the tags that appear.
