Display bullet in select statement

select '* ' || desc
from Administered ai
Is it possible to display a bullet instead of the '* '. If so how do I write the select statement.
Thanks

select '* ' || desc
from Administered ai
Is it possible to display a bullet instead of the '*
'. If so how do I write the select statement.If you do it in SQLPlus, you can try:
column desc format a20 word_wrapped
select '· ', desc from Administered ai
Note: the character I pasted here is the "Middle Dot" character copied from windows character map.

One select Statement - Number of hits displaying in ST05

Hi,
I am using single select statement on MARA table along with that using SELECT FOR ALL Entries,
However, I am getting number of hits for each records in ST05 like 2,3,8,2,2 etc.
I need to reduce number of hits by using single query only... please suggest..
Thanks,

Hi Siegfried,
just out of curiosity:

> + duplicates in the driver table, remove as written above
> + duplicate execution of the SELECT
> + fieldlist smaller than the primary key, which is not the case here
What exactly do you mean with the last point?
fieldlist in the select statement like this?
data it like table of t100.
select sprsl arbgb msgnr
from t100 into table it up to 500 rows.
select "sprsl" from t100 into table it
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it
    where sprsl = it-sprsl
    and arbgb = it-arbgb
    and msgnr = it-msgnr.
or field list in the where clause like this?
data it like table of t100.
select sprsl arbgb msgnr
from t100 into table it up to 50000 rows.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM it COMPARING sprsl arbgb.
select sprsl from t100 into table it
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it
    where "sprsl" = it-sprsl
    and "arbgb" = it-arbgb.
Or something else?
I'm asking because i've never heard or seen this before as a problem reg. identicals
for FAE. Only duplicates in driver tables or multiple executions of the FAE with the same
driver table contents (or parts of it).
If we have a smaller select field list we may read too many records which are thrown away in thd database interface
because of the distinct property of the FAE (distinct sprsl in the 2nd case) but we don't see identical selects in ST05.
How does a FAE that produces identical selects with unique driver table that is executed once look like?
So I'm a little bit confused what you meant here... .
Kind regards,

BI Publisher : SELECT statement in RTF template

Hi Guys
I have written a BI Publisher Report using XML file created from Oracle Reports(in Oracle Apps).
Repors runs from Oracle Apps perfectly ok. Now I need to fetch some data from couple of tables and display on the Report.
I am wondering whether I can directly code SELECT statement in RTF file rather than messing with Oracle Report(.rdf) file.
Please advise.
Thanks and Regards
Vijay

Hey Vijay,
You cannot query in RTF using select :)..
You have to mess/play with RDF to do it ;)
Oh wait, did i say , we cannot in RTF, we can , but that is difficult approach to go with., keep this as an end of the world option.

Is there any way to Mask the Name when a select statement is issued?

Dear all,
Is there any way to mask the name .. i mean if User issue a select statement in a customer table the real name should come like ' ABCXXXDEFXXCFXX'... Which is not the actual name?
e.g if Name: CHIEV SONG MEE
If user issue a statment select * from customers;
The Result Should come something Like this:
Name
CHXXV SXNG MXX
Thank You

user3029023 wrote:
but it seems there is no option in oracle it self which can be used as there they are saying to get a data masking software which we can't due to some internal issues....I would not say that. How one implements masking depends entirely on the requirements that need to be met.
For example, schema A owns all the tables. Schema B can be created as a "trusted" schema - in other words, schema A trusts schema B and allows it full access (with grants) to its tables. Schema B implements data masking as views. For each table in A, a view exists in B that implements the required masking. B can now grant select access on these views to user C. User C will see the same data object names in B as it would have if it used A - only, by using the B data objects it uses masked data objects and not the original source data objects.
Another example - schema Dev is to have all the data objects of schema Prod, but masked where needed. One can use CTAS (Create Table As Select) to create the required tables in Dev with masked values where relevant. This Dev schema can be "refreshed" on weekends by dropping all tables and getting a new fresh copy of production data and masking it - ready for the next week's development cycle.
If the application use is for example APEX, then instead of coding SQL directly as reporting regions to display, a function is used instead. APEX supports reporting regions where it calls a function and this function provides the APEX run-time with the SQL to execute and contents to render. It is easy to use this approach to implement logic in functions that masked column data depending on who the APEX user is, the security/role attributes of the user, and so on.
No there is not a single "+mask this column!+" feature in Oracle.. but that does not mean that such a feature is not supported and cannot be implemented. Oracle has a very comprehensive and rich set of tools - more so than most (if not all) other RDBMS products.
It is up to the architect/designer/developer to use this toolkit in creating a system that meets the specific requirements at hand.

Using if the else logic in regards to a select statement for a report

Hi all,
I've a question regarding if then else logic in Oracle.
I'm developing a report application which contains 3 selectlists
- ProductGroup - SubGroup - Manufacturer
Each one containing several values. And are based on eachother, meaning if you select an item from the PG list, you only get the SG items regarding the PG item you've choosen before. The process logic should be as the following:
When a user selects one item from for example the PG list, the query will be:
select * from x where PG = :P_PG
and the report displays all the items in the PG category selected
The other two bindvariables would be null as the user didn't pick them
If he then proceeds and selects one item from the SG list, the query would be:
select * from x where PG = :P_PG and SG = :P_SG
and the report displays all the items in the PG and SG category selected
If he then proceeds and selects one item from the MA list, the query would be:
select * from x where PG = :P_PG and SG = :P_SG and MA =:P_MA
and the report displays all the items in the PG and SG and MA category selected
Now, I've read some documentation about the decode function, but I can't figure it out, please help.
Peter

Okay, Chet, have set it up on htmldb, so you can see my problem, will go in high detail, it is not producing what I want. Example on htmldb:
DEMO/test
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=33229:6
Defenitions:
3 LOV's, namely:
- LOVPG - select distinct productgroep, productgroep pg from plijst
- LOVSG - select distinct subgroep, subgroep sg from plijst where productgroep = :P6_LOVPG
- LOVLE- select distinct leverancier, leverancier le from plijst where productgroep = :P6_LOVPG and subgroep = :P6_LOVSG
3 Selectitems with submit, namely:
- :P6_LOVPG
- :P6_LOVSG
- :P6_LOVLE
Report region select statement:
select * from plijst where (productgroep = :P6_LOVPG or :P6_LOVPG IS NULL) and (subgroep = :P6_LOVSG or :P6_LOVSG IS NULL) and (leverancier = :P6_LOVLE or :P6_LOVLE IS NULL)
Branch to:
Branche to page on submit after processing
What it should do is:
When you select an item from the first selectlist, productgroep, the report should show all rows containing the specified productgroep.
When the user selects the next item in the subgroep selectlist, the report should show all rows containing the previously selected prodctgroup and the just selected subgroep.
When the user selects the final item , the report should show all rows based on all three selected itemvalues, productgroep, subgroep, leverancier.
The problem is that with this setup the report is only generated after the final selectlist choice of the user. But the user should see a report before that, going deeper into the structure. Hope, you see my problem?
Sincerely,
Pete

Is it possible to display only dynamically selected fields in the out put?

Is it possible to display only dynamically selected fields in the out put? i need to display set of columns in the selection criteria, but in the output i have display only input given fields. because i need to convert it into .csv file. So i have to display selected fields from internal table. In oracle they are using"execute immediate". is there any equivalent in SAP?
thanks in advance.

Hi Remya,
Are you talking about dynamic programming in ABAP ?
If yes, there are concepts like RTTS which facilitates it.
Yes, the select query also supports dynamic selection of fields. ( Please care about ( ) in dynamic sql ).
Do more research on Field Symbols and statements like ASSIGN COMPONENT OF.

Philip.

Regarding Logical database and select statement..

Hi
Experts.
i would like to know the diff b/w logical data base & select statement while using report.
wt is the use of logical databases in R/3. is there   any   advantage used in the reports.
Thanks & Regards..
Spandana.

Dear Spandana,
Go through the below description of LDB. I hope you wil get a fair amount of idea.
SAP comes loaded with all the extras. Among the extras that are most helpful to IT managers are all the access routines needed to pull any business object that managers can think of out of SAP databases. However, SAP has not thought of everything where your particular applications are concerned. SAP organizes its standard database tables to service business units based on conventional business applications. Itu2019s likely your business requires something new, perhaps even something exotic. In that case, you will need to create a new database, using information from different places. Basically, you need a logical database. You need to create a virtual business data object repository consisting of a new kind of record or table that suits your purposes. In addition, the repository should be composed of information that is actually stored in a number of different locations, none of them necessarily logically associated with one another. Letu2019s take a closer look at creating logical databases.
A case for a logical database
Suppose my company manufactures widgets of the most obscure variety, and they are components of other widgets. I sell my widgets as raw material for the more sophisticated widgets built by others, but in some cases I actually partner with other manufacturers in creating yet another class of widget. Now, in my world, I consequently have customers who are also partners. I sell to them and I partner with them in manufacturing and distribution. Also, I need an application that uses both of these dual-use relationships.
Essentially, I have a customer database and a partner database. Neither contains records that are structured to contain the identifying particulars of the other. Thus, I need a hybrid database that gives me tables detailing these hybrid relationships. What can I do? I can go the long way around and write a new database, pulling information from both and creating new objects with a customized program that I write by hand. However, this process is cumbersome and contains maintenance issues. On the other hand, I can use SAPu2019s logical database facility, create my logical database in a couple of minutes, and have no maintenance issues at all.
Logical database structures
There are three defining entities in an SAP logical database. You must be clear on all three in order to create and use one.
u2022     Table structure: Your logical database includes data from specified tables in SAP. There is a hierarchy among these tables defined by their foreign keys (all known to SAP), and you are going to define a customized relationship between select tables. This structure is unique and must be defined and saved.
u2022     Data selection: You may not want or need every item in the referenced tables that contributes to your customized database. There is a selection screen that permits you to pick and choose.
u2022     Database access programming: Once youu2019ve defined your logical database, SAP will generate the access subroutines needed to pull the data in the way you want it pulled.
Creating your own logical database
ABAP/4 (Advanced Business Application Programming language, version 4) is the language created by SAP for implementation and customization of its R/3 system. ABAP/4 comes loaded with many predefined logical databases that can construct and table just about any conventional business objects you might need in any canned SAP application. However, you can also create your own logical databases to construct any custom objects you care to define, as your application requires in ABAP/4. Hereu2019s a step-by-step guide:
1.     Call up transaction SLDB (or transaction SE36). The path you want is Tools | ABAP Workbench | Development | Programming Environment | Logical Databases. This screen is called Logical Database Builder.
2.     Enter an appropriate name in the logical database name field. You have three options on this screen: Create, Display, and Change. Choose Create.
3.     Youu2019ll be prompted for a short text description of your new logical database. Enter one. Youu2019ll then be prompted to specify a development class.
4.     Now comes the fun part! You must specify a root node, or a parent table, as the basis of your logical database structure. You can now place subsequent tables under the root table as needed to assemble the data object you want. You can access this tree from this point forward, to add additional tables, by selecting that root node and following the path Edit | Node | Create. Once youu2019ve saved the structure you define in this step, the system will generate the programming necessary to access your logical database. The best part is you donu2019t have to write a single line of code.
Watch out!
The use of very large tables will degrade the performance of a logical database, so be aware of that trade-off. Remember that some tables in SAP are very complex, so they will be problematic in any user-defined logical database.
Declaring a logical database
Hereu2019s another surprising feature of logical databases: You do not assign them in your ABAP/4 Code. Instead, the system requires that you specify logical databases as attributes. So when you are creating a report, have your logical database identifier (the name you gave it) on hand when you are defining its attributes on the Program Attributes screen. The Attributes section of the screen (the lower half) will include a Logical database field, where you can declare your logical database.
Logical databases for increasing efficiency
Why else would you want to create a logical database? Consider that the logical databases already available to you begin with a root node and proceed downward from there. If the data object you wish to construct consists of items that are all below the root node, you can use an existing logical database program to extract the data, then trim away what you donu2019t want using SELECT statementsu2014or you can increase the speed of the logical database program considerably by redefining the logical database for your object and starting with a table down in the chain. Either way, youu2019ll eliminate a great deal of overhead.

1 Conditional report based on 3 select lists/ 3 different select statements

I have made 1 report based on the three select lists. The report is displayed in the center of the page. The user needs to fill them in order, the select lists are:
Selectlist:
1. P1_LOVPG - Null is allowed, but is only appearing at top with a label of Productgroup
2. P1_LOVSG - Null is allowed, but is only appearing at top with a label of Subgroup
3. P1_LOVMA - Null is allowed, but is only appearing at top with a label of Manufacturer
LOVPG contains a distinct collect of the ProductGroups
QUERY LOV = select distinct pg from X
LOVSG contains a distinct collect of the SubGroups inside the selected PG.list
QUERY LOV = select distinct sg from X where pg = :P1_LOVPG
LOVMA contains a distinct collect of the Manufacturers inside the selected SG.lst
QUERY LOV = select distinct ma from X where sg = :P_LOVSG
Based on the the selected items the user would see the following:
Table X
PG SG MA ART
A-----X----M---1
A-----X----N---2
A-----Y----M---3
A-----X----M---4
B-----X----M---5
B-----Y----N---6
B-----Z----O---7
Seletion 1 PG = A -> selects PG A in select list result, User sees:
Report A
PG SG MA ART
A-----X----M---1
A-----X----N---2
A-----Y----M---3
A-----X----M---4
Query would be: select * from X where PG = :P1_LOVPG
Selection 2, user still sees the above, can only select from the SG select list NULL, X, Y. User needs to choose between X or Y value. He picks X, he sees:
Report B
PG SG MA ART
A-----X----M---1
A-----X----N---2
A-----X----M---4
Query would be: select * from X where PG = :P1_LOVPG and SG = :P_LOVSG
Selection 3, user still sees selection 2 on his screen, can only select from the MA list bewteen NULL, M or N, user needs to choose between M or N. He picks M, he sees:
Report C
PG SG MA ART
A-----X----M---1
A-----X----M---4
Query would be: select * from X where PG = :P1_LOVPG and SG = :P_LOVSG
As you can see the query changes as the user goes deeper into the structure. It is a simple if then else system where the quey changes. How do I set this up in htmldb?
(I've read something about Oracle's SQL and it's decode function, but can they be used with changing select statements?)

are you sure your data meets the JOIN conditions?
You can make a quick check.. only example...
select single * from KONP into ls_konp
where knumh = P_knumh.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
select * from from A905 into table lt_a905 where
     kappl in so_kappl
     and kschl in so_kschl
     and VKORG in so_vkorg
     and vtweg in so_vtweg
     and kondm in so_kondm
     and wkreg in so_wkreg
     and knumh = ls_konp-knumh.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
select * from A919 into table lt_a919
for all entries in lt_a905
where kappl = lt_a905-kappl
and kschl = lt_905-kschl
and knumh = lt_905-knumh.
endif.
endif.

Using TRIM function in select statement

Hi All,
I'm using the TRIM function in my select statement to eliminate the white spaces.
But while using in select the TRIM function is not working in SQL*PLUS client(The query returns the white spaces also)
Kindly provide some pointers regarding the issue.........
I want to get only the data without the spaces in select statement
Regards,
Mohan

Hi, Mohan,
SQL*Plus always pads columns to make them line up nicely.
If you have a column declared as VARCHAR2 (20), then SQL*Plus will normally display 20 characters for that column, even in the maximum actual length is, say, 5 (or even if the column always happens to be NULL).
If you want the output to include only the actual data, without the padding that SQL*Plus adds, then concatenate all the columns into one big string column.
People often do something like the following to generate a CSV file, with no exta spaces:
SELECT       TO_CHAR (empno)
|| ',' || ename
|| ',' || job
|| ',' || TO_CHAR (deptno)
|| ',' || TO_CHAR (hiredate, 'DD-Mon-YYYY')     AS all_data
FROM          scott.emp;

Edit an object's select statement of OLAP universe SAP BW

Hi everybody
I am new at working with Olap Universes BW, and I have to edit one universe SAP BW, I don't know if I can to use substring function on a select statement, for example substring([0D_DIV].[LEVEL01],5,5), I try to use this function but I have a error,
Could you help me? I need to returns part of a string, is correct to do it on a universe or is better to do at BW.

Hi,
First of all I recommend you read the documentation that gives you information about OLAP universes and especially SAP BW universes.
I also recommend to download documents related to SAP universes deployment, administration and customization:
[OLAP Universes - how to samples and recommendations |https://wiki.wdf.sap.corp/wiki/display/globalregions/OLAPUniverses-howtosamplesand+recommendations]
[SAP Integration |https://wiki.wdf.sap.corp/wiki/display/globalregions/SAP+Integration]
Now you can customize expression using MDX in OLAP universes. MDX expressions must be enclosed with <EXPRESSION></EXPRESSION> XML tags.
Unfortunately SAP BW MDX does not support calculations that return string or date values.
The onlyway to return string is to use NAME or UNOIQUENAME attribute.
See answers I already in the forum: [Forum answer |Re: Create new dimension on top of SAP BW data]

How to use a select statement with chinese characters?

I am currently developing a java servlet<using tomcat 4.x> which allows me to use select statement to retrieve results from the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database. I am using a simple form to get the parameter for querying. The main problem i'm facing is that there are chinese information in the SQL database, but i can't retrieve it through the sql statement with the chinese characters input<thru the form with the help of NJ STAR>in the WHERE condition. When i execute the statement, it returns me no results even though the rows are present in the database.
Does anyone have the solution to using chinese words in the WHERE clause of the select statement to retrieve results with columns which contains chinese characters? Please help me. Thanks everyone. :)
PS: when i cut and paste those characters in the sql database and paste onto java.. it is ??? in questionmarks.. but when i paste them into excel 2000.. its shown as chinese chars again..
please heelppp~~

Greetings,
PS: when i cut and paste those characters in thesql
database and paste onto java.. it is ??? in
questionmarks.. but when i paste them into excelThis is why the SELECT is not returning any results.
You need to set the character encoding set on your
statement and parameters for the characters to be
properly translated. Refer to the charsetName
parameter in the String class constructor in your API
docs and also to
$JDK_DOCS/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html in your JDK
documentation.
2000.. its shown as chinese chars again..Because Office programs are performing the same kind
of character translation with the appropriate MS APIs.
please heelppp~~Regards,
Tony "Vee Schade" Cookis it possible for you to show me some coding examples? i don't really understand what is to be done in order to set the char set and what does it really do.. tried reading up but still dun understand.. :(
pardon my shallow knowledge of java..
ok..
The thing is when i used an insert statement with chinese characters of GBK format hardcoded into the java servlet and then i use the insert statement to insert the chars into the database, it cannot be seen as a chinese word when i off the NJStar. and then it can be searched out with my current form of servlet.. below is my coding of the servlet..

thank you so much for helping.. really hope any one else who knows the answer to this will reply too... thank you all so much...

my problem is it says exception in select statement and no data found
can someone resolve my problem}

Check the below code snippet this what my fellow poster meant.check whether the proposed works well or not.
public List dis(int getmodified,int getindex){
    List outerList = new ArrayList();
    List display=null;
     try{
          System.out.println("testing.....3");
          con = getconnection();
          pstmt = con.prepareStatement("SELECT title from newss where nno > ? and nno <= ?");
          pstmt.setInt(1,10*getmodified);
          pstmt.setInt(2,10*getindex);
          System.out.println("testing.....2");
          rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
          while(rs.next()){
               display=new ArrayList();
               String title = rs.getString(1);
               display.add(title);
              System.out.println("###########################" +title);
              System.out.println("(((((((((((())))))))))" +display);
              outerList.add(display);
   }catch(Exception e){
       e.printStackTrace();
   }finally{
       if(rs != null){
             try{rs.close();}catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
       if(pstmt != null){
               try{pstmt.close();}catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
       if(con != null){
               try{con.close();}catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}

Getting Username to pass into LOV select statement

Hello!
I'm wondering if its possible to get the username of the current user logged in and pass it as a variable into a select statement used in a dynamic LOV in Oracle AS Portal?
What I'm attempting to do is pull all the values from a table that equal the current user's username to user on a portal report
so (as a rough example)
select color from mytable where username = 'whatever the user name is would be here'
And then the current user would get a list of values from which to select based off of the values entered in this table.
The issue I'm having is determing how to fill the 'whatever the user name is would be here' portion with the actual logged in user's username (or even if its possible). I know on the actual portal one can do #USER.FULLNAME# to display their username, is there a similar "variable" one may use to get the username for a LOV sql call?
I can get it to work if I statically fix the username to a particular value (ex: where username = 'Joe.Hacker') but I'm unsure if theres a variable or bind value (for lack of a better term) to grab the username on the fly.. dynamically.

portal.wwctx_api.get_user can be used in the SQL query of your portal report to get the user_name of the currently logged-in portal user. For more info on wwctx_api, see the 10.1.2 or 10.1.4 portal API docs at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/plsqldoc/pldoc1012/index.html or http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/plsqldoc/pldoc1014/index.html
