DEFECT: Worksheet (sometimes) disabled on cancel of query

I write a query in a worksheet.
I run the query.
It takes too long, so I stop it by pressing the red circle button with an X in it.
The query is cancelled.
Frequently, but not always, the worksheet gets disabled after I do this.
All the worksheet buttons except for the red circle with an X in it get grayed out.
I am totally unable to change anything in that worksheet.
I have to create a new worksheet, copy the query to it, connect to the database in the new worksheet, and then close the frozen worksheet.
I can see no valid reason why a cancelled select statement should cause this to happen.

Just canceled another version of the query.
This time, I got a pop-up telling me I had cancelled the query.
When I acknowleded that, the rows that had been retrieved were shown.
This time, the worksheet works properly afterwards.
Thought this might help to track down the problem.

Trying to cancel Discoverer query - it's taking along time to cancel ....

Hi Everyone,
I cancelled a query bec. it was taking a long time to run
Now it's taking a long time to cancel
The admin is out to lunch...
any advice pls, thx, sandra

Hi Sandra
Typically the reason for canceling a query is that it has been running too long - right?
Behind the scenes, one of two things is happening, either:
1. The query was having a hard time finding any data and is still searching, or
2. The query has found some data but not enough to satisfy the query governor settings
For the latter, depending upon how much data has so far been retrieved, Discoverer has to put that data somewhere. This is called a cache. The more data you put into a cache the more has to be cleared out of it should you decide not to proceed. This is probable what happened to you.
By the way, when you cancel a query you're generally asked a question about whether Discoverer should keep the last change but return no data. If you click Yes in reply to this question this is generally what triggers the clearing of the cache. Most of the time I just click No, even if I made a small change. I tend to get my query back quick.
Finally, if your Discoverer worksheet is a Crosstab or it uses Page Items, or even both at the same time, this is one of the causes of a long running query. In any of these scenarios, Discoverer has buckets to compute and it has no idea how many buckets to allow for until it has read all of the data.
In my Discoverer 10g Handbook and in my training courses I talk about The Query From The Twilight Zone. This are the queries that never or seems like never return any data and either time out or have to be stopped manually. Sometimes these runaway queries are trying to return every row of data from the database but more typically they are caused by the overcasual use of page items or Crosstabs.
Hope this synopsis helps

Reasons why a query timeout would fail to cancel the query

Let's say I am running an SQL query via JDBC and then I hit the query timeout I had set on the session. 9 times out of 10 Oracle complies and I get hit with a ORA-01013 user canceled query, as I would expect. But sometimes, it seems the database just doesn't abide by my request. Is that possible? I know it's a "request", so is it truly a request and not a demand? :) Can the database choose to not obey the request or could it be in some state where it cannot comply even if it wanted to?

Oracle Enterprise Edition 10.2.0.3.0. The application is my application, a Java application that uses Hibernate sessions to communicate with the database in read only mode. I have a query timeout set on the Query object for a particular query. On my instance (Oracle 11g) i never see the occurrence. Oracle always cancels the query with an ORA-01013 right at exactly the 3 minute timeout. On their Oracle 10 instance, we see examples of the query surviving the cancel request and running as long as 10 minutes.

Conditionally disabling record updation after query

Dear members
I've a single record block and I wanna conditionaly disable records updation after query has fetched data. Problem is that if I disable the record updation in Post-Query trigger then it checks the condition for the very first fetched record and it the condition is true, then Updation is disabled for all the fetched records, even if the next records dont meet the condition. I'm using forms-10g. Can u give a better solution??? thanx.

you have to use SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY to modify only one record:
BEGIN
    IF ... <your_condition> THEN
        SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('YOUR_BLOCK.YOUR_ITEM1', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
    ELSE
        SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('YOUR_BLOCK.YOUR_ITEM1', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
    END IF;
END;

How to disable the cancel button in the ProgressMonitor

hi,
I need to know, is there any way to disable/remove the (cancel)button in the ProgressMonitor?
One more problem is,
Once i click the cancel button, isCanceled() return true, how to make it false again so that the process continue....
It is very urgently.....
please help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Deepa Raghuraman

I don't think that's a good solution, because Cancel button itself is not disabled, so user is tempted to click it and nothing happens.
A better but dangerous solution is this:
progressMonitor = new ProgressMonitor(ProgressMonitorDemo.this,
"Running a Long Task",
"", 0, 100);
progressMonitor.setMillisToDecideToPopup(0);
progressMonitor.setMillisToPopup(0);
progressMonitor.setProgress(0);
JDialog dialog = (JDialog)progressMonitor.getAccessibleContext().getAccessibleParent();
JOptionPane pane = (JOptionPane)dialog.getContentPane().getComponent(0);
pane.setOptions(new Object[]{});Refer to the same question here [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/512151/how-do-i-disable-the-cancel-button-when-using-javax-swing-progressmonitor] .

Cancel a Query

Hi
Forms 10gR2. Default forms query behaviour is to stay in ENTER_QUERY mode when a query retrieves no records.
How do I "Cancel" that query or return back to normal mode?
thanks in advance.

Use Alt+F4 or Ctrl+Q to exit the enter-query-mode.
If you want to do it each time, when your execute_query didn't return values, then you can code an exit_form in your on-error or on-message, where you can filter the message, which forms shows you ("Query returned no rows")

IF name_in('System.Mode') = 'ENTER-QUERY' THEN
exit_form(NO_VALIDATE);

Sorry, I realize ...
when exit_form(NO_VALIDATE) is executed, the trigger KEY-EXIT is firing and I did not know this.

How to cancel a query when execute query builtin fire and No Records found.

Hi,

ABORT_QUERY;

Hello,
I would test the record status of the first record in the block. If this status is 'NEW', then there is no record retrieved, so that you can exit the query mode with exit_form()

Can't do anything to table- data tab after cancelling initial query

When I select a table and go to "Data" tab, sqldeveloper executes initial query to fetch first 50 rows. While it does so, "refresh", "add" etc. icons, and "Sort..." button are blocked. The problem is, if I cancel that initial query, icons and buttons STAY grayed-out, so I can't refresh the table. Pressing enter on "filter:" field also doesn't work. The only way to restore functionality is close the tab and open it again.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open a large table
2) Filter it with some query
3) Sort results
4) Close the tab
5) Open the table again. "Sort" settings persist, so SQLDeveloper starts running a very long query
6) Press "Cancel Query" in the appearing box
Canceling the query somehow resets persisted Sort settings, so it works fine next time I open the table.

Can't reproduce it,Is there any setting
Umm, I'm not exactly sure what do you mean by that. I don't remember modifying anything in the preferences for persisted settings (like sorting order or hidden columns). In fact, I'm pretty sure there is no such settings in preferences.
As for reproducing the bug, may I ask you which step fails, exactly? Do sort settings reset when you open the table again? Or does the query executes instantly? Oracle sorts table too fast if it's under 1 000 000 rows, and it becomes visible on 8 000 000+ rows table.

How can I cancel a query?

If a query run too long time,I need to cancel it.However, even if I force user logout,the query is still runing.How can I do?

Depending on the version of Essbase you are running, you may need to kill the Essbase application process. If you have a more recent version (I think it was 6.2) you can kill processes running on the server via Application Manger.Hope that helps.Regards,Jade----------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]
