Display Query results in excel on the Web

Hello,
I am trying to display data from a query in excel on the web without creating an actual file. I know that I can create a CSV file using UTL_FILE and display it but I was hoping there was a way to do it without actually creating the file. I have a procedure that looks similar to
PROCEDURE displayAsCSV is
cursor STUD_CURS is
select * from students;
BEGIN
for STUD_REC in STUD_CURS loop
htp.print(' " '||STUD_REC.FIRST_NAME||' " , " '||STUD_REC.LAST_NAME||' " ');
end loop;
END;
Does anyone know if it is possible to display these results in excel in the browser by altering the MIME types or something similar?
Thanks

Check Tom's owa_sylk utility together with the appropriate mime-type.

Hi all,

thank you

Do you really need an Excel file (binary) or a simple CSV?
If you just need a CSV then search for DUMP_CSV at http://asktom.oracle.com or at this forum
If you need formatting and/or multiple worksheets then you can use free tools like
https://xml-spreadsheet.samplecode.oracle.com/ or https://exceldocumenttype.samplecode.oracle.com/

How to open the TFS query results in Excel?

Hello Guys,
Question 1: Is there any way to export the query results from the TFS web browser?
Question 2: Is there any way to export the query results from Team Explorer 2013?
Here is the query results in TFS:
How do I export this result in excel for further analysis?
I have also connected to Team explorer 2013 and right clicked on the query, but there is no option to open the results in Excel, see below:

Hello,
_Pls follow these guide lines for ensuring proper output in Microsoft Excel:
1.First compare the fields properties and the frames properties between the reports created with wizard and the reports created manually.
2. Do not leave any space between two adjacent objects.
Explanation: Because any space, including a few pixels, between two adjacent objects will result in an empty cell or column in Excel output
3.Make sure that the widths of all objects are vertically consistent.
Explanation: If the objects are not exactly aligned vertically, that is, have inconsistent widths, it is likely to result in insertion of unwanted cells/columns in Excel.
4. Pls. Make sure that the vertical elasticity of the frames and repeating frames is not fixed unless you are sure you have allocated enough space to accommodate all the records.
Explanation: If you set the Vertical Elasticity property of a frame to Fixed, the output in Excel will show only as many records as could appear on the first page of the paper output. Since Excel does not have a page concept, it is not able to overflow the remaining rows to the next page.
5. For reliable formatting of spreadsheet output, enclose the whole layout area in a frame.
Explanation: This action prevents the possibility of parallel objects displaying in different vertical positions, one following the other.
Hope this helps.

Alex

Create SP that returns value and at the same time displays query result in output window

I would like create an SP which will return the records from the table and also return value to my c# client application.
For Example:
Select * from employee returns all the query results in output window.
Now I want to create an SP
Create procedure Test
As
Declare @ret int,
Select * from employee
set @ret = Select count(*) from employee
if @ret > 0
return 1
else
return 0
The above algo should return 1 0r 0 to c# client application and at the same time display all employees in sql query output window.
Can u pls help in this regard.

The above algo should return 1 0r 0 to c# client application and at the same time display all employees in sql query output window.
Why? and No!
Why? Your procedure generates a resultset of some number of rows. You check the resultset for the presence of rows to determine if "anything is there". You don't need a separate value to tell you this. Note that it helps
to post tsql that is syntactically correct. While we're at it, if you just need to know that rows exist there is no need to count them since that does more work than required. Simply test for existence using the appropriately-named function
"exists". E.g., if exists (select * from dbo.employee).
No! A stored procedure does not display anything anywhere. The application which executes the procedures is responsible for the consumption of the resultset; it chooses what to do and what to display.
Lastly, do not get into the lazy habit of using the asterisk in your tsql code. That is not best practice. Along with that, you should also get into the following best practice habits:
schema-qualify your objects (i.e., dbo.employee)
terminate every statement - it will eventually be required.

Problems exporting query results to Excel

Hi!
I hope you can help me
We have a web template that uses the class ZVIG_ART that we created in the transaction SE24, this class display some label in the query
results, the problem is when we export this report to excel the label disappear. The numbers indicates the stock of the item and the label N/V indicates that the item is not in the store's catalog. Another case is that we can have N/V items but with stock, for example the ITEM2 of the STORE3 with the label N/V-1piece. How can we export this label to EXCEL?
           | STORE1     |    STORE2   | STORE3
ITEM1      | 10 PIECES |    N/V      | 20 PIECES
ITEM2      | 11         |    20       | N/V-1PIECE
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Mari,
Thanks for the reply.
I can understand the resason for not being able to change the Posting Date. But what are the reasons for not being able to change the Document Date? What is the fiscal reason for not being able to change the Document Date? Please provide an example. Reversing the document doesn't work in this case as the SQ01 report would still include the incorrect date.

Trying to display query results in 2 columns

The results of this modified code can be see
Here
as you can see what I have done gives the correct number of
columns (2)
and the correct number of rows for the quantity of data (3)
however each row shows only the first 2 pieces of data
returned by the query
Can I modify the query output so that it returns pieces of
data off set by the amount of data already output?
if so how?

Right off the bat, you have 2 loops and I cant see why...
So what is happening, is the outer loop is going 3 times...
for 3 rows, then your inside loop is showing the first record, the
Breaker var is breakign out of this loop after one row is shown.
Then the main loop says do it again...
You don't need nested loops to accomplish this, I dont
understand why you would think of needing that...
Looking at your code, just get rid of the outer loop... there
is no need for it. You are already looping around the query object
in the inner loop, thats all you need...
Heres some psudeo code to help you out...
loop around query maximum of 6 rows
-- display data
-- if recordcount EQ 2 or recordcount EQ 4 then
----- </tr><tr> 
end loop

2.1 EA2 does not display query results, query works fine in sqlplus

2.1 EA2/Windows XP 32-bit
The following query does not show any results for Total(GB) and Free(GB) columns. The diskgroup name shows correctly.
SELECT
DG.name ,
ROUND(SUM(DSK.TOTAL_MB)/1024,2) "Total (GB)",
round(SUM(DSK.FREE_MB)/1024,2) "Free (GB)"
FROM
V$ASM_DISK DSK,
V$ASM_DISKGROUP DG
WHERE
DSK.GROUP_NUMBER=DG.GROUP_NUMBER
group by DG.name;
The query works fine when run from SQL*Plus:
SQL> SELECT
2 DG.name ,
3 ROUND(SUM(DSK.TOTAL_MB)/1024,2) "Total (GB)",
4 round(SUM(DSK.FREE_MB)/1024,2) "Free (GB)"
5 FROM
6 V$ASM_DISK DSK,
7 V$ASM_DISKGROUP DG
8 WHERE
9 DSK.GROUP_NUMBER=DG.GROUP_NUMBER
10 GROUP BY DG.name;
NAME Total (GB) Free (GB)
DG1 707.98 162.32
DG2 134.84 122.68
SQL>
This must be something unique to SQLDeveloper. I tested in 2.1 EA1 and 1.5.5.59.69 and the query does not show results for the Total (GB) and Free (GB) columns.

I would like to update the problem. It seems like when SQLDeveloper is connected to ASM instance, it has trouble using the divide operator (/). For example, the following query works fine:
SELECT
name,
TOTAL_MB
FROM
V$ASM_DISKGROUP;
But if I try to divide the TOTAL_MB by any number, the column shows blank (the column is blank, not NULL). So, if I try to run the following query, the output will just display diskgroup names. The TOTAL_MB/1024 column shows blank.
SELECT
name,
TOTAL_MB/1024
FROM
V$ASM_DISKGROUP;
If I run the same query in SQL*Plus from the same desktop using the same TNS alias, it works just fine which tells me that it is a SQLDeveloper problem.
When I am connected to a regular database, then the problem does not show up and SQLDeveloper is able to display the results even when I am using the divide operator (/).

You could use the function queryAddColumn to add the numbers as a separate column to the query.
Let us suppose the name of the query is "myQuery". Then you could proceed as follows

<cfset staticList = "11,12,32,15,36,13,23,14,33,16,44,31,17,34,18">

<cfset staticNrArray = ArrayNew(1)>
<cfset staticNrArray = listToArray(staticList)>

<cfset nColumnNumber = QueryAddColumn(myQuery, "staticNr", "integer", staticNrArray)>

<cfdump var="#myQuery#">
The list I have given here has 15 numbers. This will naturally instruct ColdFusion to add a new column named staticNr, having 15 rows. You might like to know that the queryAddColumn function enables padding.
Here is how it works. Suppose that the query originally had only 8 rows before you added the column(of 15 rows). Then, in the new query, ColdFusion would pad the last 7 rows of the other columns with null values. If the original query had 20 rows instead, then Coldfusion would pad the last 5 rows corresponding to the staticNr-column with null values.

How to ensure that the query results are fetched from the BW acclerator.

Hi Experts,
Suppose if i want to execute the query with BIA option, I can achieve it in RSRT .
1)But is there some query settings or properties where we can make sure that whenever a query(say Q1) is executed, always the data should be fetched from the BIA index.
2)Suppose the BIA indexing has failed due to some reasons, will the data be fetched from the previously updated BIA index??
regards
akshay

Hi man,
1)But is there some query settings or properties where we can make sure that whenever a query(say Q1) is executed, always the data should be fetched from the BIA index.
If you have built up BIA index on a cube, then every query on the cube or MultiProvider will automatically use BIA index. No additional settings required. You can use the following way to test whether a query is using BIA or not:
Go to RSRT, input query name, click 'execute and debug' and check 'Display Statistics Data' and 'Do Not Use Cache'. Execute. After the query result press F3, now you should be able to see statistics. There's a tab 'BIA Access'. If you see something there then it means BIA index is used.
2)Suppose the BIA indexing has failed due to some reasons, will the data be fetched from the previously updated BIA index??
If BIA rollup is failed, then the last request(s) would not available in reporting and query will use BIA index for earlier requests. You can consider it like aggregate. But if initial fill of BIA failed then you would not be able to use BIA index.

Frank

Menu toolbar icons not displayed in colour when deployed on the Web

Hello!
We are developing an application using Forms6i on Windows NT.
Our problem is that menu toolbar icons are not displayed in colour when the application is deployed on the Web using lookAndFeel = generic. This is the case both when using Microsoft IE5 and Netscape 4.5. When lookAndFeel = oracle, however, the icons are displayed in colour.
The icons are stored as *.gif files in the same directory as the application *.html file. It does not help to create a virtual path /web_icons/ in the www listener and edit the parameter default.icons.iconpath in the file Registry.dat.
When running the application as client/server, the menu toolbar icons are displayed in colour as expected.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Hi,
I got the same problem and I didn't figure out, how to solve this problem.
But did you try to printout the form anyway? I guess you will see the icons on the printout, won't you?

How can you display a dynamically loaded vi to the Web Server?

I am working with LabView 6.1 and the Web Server. I can call a subvi and have it display on a remote machine using a browser with no problem. But what I would like to do is dynamically load and run a vi and have it display on the remote computer using only a browser. I have tried a small example of a front panel that invokes the run vi method (and fp.open prop) on another vi when a button is pressed, but the invoked vi is displayed only on the local computer. Is there any way of viewing dynamically loaded vi's on a remote machine without having a copy of LabView running on it?

If i understand your question correctly, you want to monitor vi that are dynamically loaded on a remote machine without having LabVIEW installed on the machine from witch you want the monitor. I don't think it's possible how ever a good reference book would be Internet applications in LabVIEW. You can find it on BARNES&NOBLE.
Hope i could help
