Dynamic alias name in query

Is it possible to use dynamic alias name in query for interactive report?
I have this SELECT and I would like to use the parameters used in alias request to build a dynamic crosstab report:
SELECT p.annee AS "Année", p.desc_rls AS "RLS",
SUM(CASE WHEN p.age BETWEEN :P2_AGE1 AND :P2_AGE2 THEN p.pop END) "0-4 ANS",
SUM(CASE WHEN p.age BETWEEN :P2_AGE3 AND :P2_AGE4 THEN p.pop END) "5-9 ANS",
SUM(CASE WHEN p.age BETWEEN :P2_AGE5 AND :P2_AGE6 THEN p.pop END) "10-14 ANS"
FROM pop_rls_isq_111 p
GROUP BY ROLLUP(p.annee, p.desc_rls);
Instead of coding "0-4 ANS" as alias, I would like for example use the parameters ":P2_AGE1 - :P2_AGE2 ANS".

Hi,
to make your column headings dynamic you can use the substitution syntax in the "Column Heading" property of your IR columns. For example:
&P2_AGE1. - &P2_AGE2. ANSHope that helps

Dynamic schema name in query

hi there,
who knows how to cheat a little and add schema name dynamically in report query?
curently trying PLSQL function body returning SQL
...from ' || '&P1_SCHEMA.' ||'.IM_INVOICES_V
where...
any bright thoughts?
crazy Simon

Hi,
You could try something like this...
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW IM_INVOICES_V_VW AS
SELECT 'SCHEMA_1'.the_schema,
       IM_INVOICES_V.*
FROM   schema1.IM_INVOICES_V
UNION ALL
SELECT 'SCHEMA_2'.the_schema,
       IM_INVOICES_V.*
FROM   schema2.IM_INVOICES_V;
and then...
SELECT *
FROM   IM_INVOICES_V_VW
WHERE the_schema = :P1_SCHEMA

SQL query alias names errors with dynamic lists

Hullo,
Problem:
- Made a query form book database. Have authors in separate table with unique ID's referring to them on book table.
- Query fetches author name in "Surname, Firstname initial.Secondfirstname initial" format, --> like "Bukowski, H.C" and giving that combo alias name in SQL like "AS 'author'"...
- Dynamic list works fine at start, but when ordered from detail table back to the mainlisting, it does make an error with SQL stating "unknown column 'author' in where clause"
That must be because the script looks for "author" column from the original table yeah, but how can I solve this? Any ideas? Does this mean that Alias names for columns are not possible or is there something i've missed?
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks,
KimmoK

Hi Kimmo,
ADDT´s dynamic lists can handle alias columns fine to my experience, but I reckon that you most probably applied the "CONCAT(...) AS author" query modification after having generated the list, and the list´s internal WHERE clause seems to have no clue of this alias column.
You can get an idea about using alias columns in Dynamic Lists in my tutorial "Dynamic Lists: exploring the Filter Conditions": http://www.guenter-schenk.com/tutorials/tutorial.php?id=6
Can you please post the list´s code on your server as text file (e.g. code.txt) and provide a link to this file ?

Get alias name from dynamic query

Hi All,
I would make a plsql function using dynamic query.
And the function takes a whole sql query as a parameter.
The main issue is that the function should get what alias or columns were queried.
For example,
FUNCTION_GET_QUERY_ALIAS('SELECT 1 AS col1, 2 AS col2 FROM DUAL')
Inside the function, it should find the alias name COL1 and COL2.
I'd appreciate for any help.

I have modified print_table as function and made it to satisfy your needs.

How to set dynamic table name in sql query?

I want set dynamic table name by parameter in sql query,just like:

but run report is error,BI P report table name is invalidation.
What can i do? Thanks!

Hi,
that's only possible inside a data template with a lexical parameter.

SQL query - Alias name (value) as parameter to an Oracle function

Hi,
I have a sql query something like
Select tbl1.valueA, tbl1.valueB, tbl2.valueX, MAX(CASE tbl2.valueY = 'XX' THEN tbl2.valueZ END) AS "ValueZ header", Function(tbl1.valueB, tbl2.valueX, "valueZ header")
FROM table1 tbl1
JOIN table2 tbl2 ON tbl1.id = tbl2.tbl1id
WHERE ...
my problem is that I need the value from MAX statement as parameter to the function and I have tried to use the alias name (valueZ header) but this is not working. I guess because of some syntax error. Can I use alias name as parameter into the function at all - if - how should I do this?

You could repeat the entire MAX (CASE ...) expression as the 3rd argumnet to your function, or you could compute it once in a sub-query, then reference the column alias as often as you like in the super-query, like this:
WITH     got_valuez_header     AS
     Select tbl1.valueA
     ,     tbl1.valueB
     ,     tbl2.valueX
     ,     MAX ( CASE
                        WEHN tbl2.valueY = 'XX'     -- Don't forget the keyword WHEN
                  THEN      tbl2.valueZ
                END
              )          AS "ValueZ header"
     FROM         table1     tbl1
     JOIN         table2     tbl2     ON     tbl1.id     = tbl2.tbl1id
     WHERE          ...
     GROUP BY     ...
Select tbl1.valueA
,     tbl1.valueB
,     tbl2.valueX
,     "ValueZ header"
,     Function_x ( tbl1.valueB     -- FUNCTION is not a good name for a function
             , tbl2.valueX
             , "ValueZ header"     -- Case-sensitive

Dynamic table name, how to query?

Hi!
There is a table name that is decided dynamically. the name is:
someNameYYY where YYY denotes the client number.
I get the client number by sy-mandt and concatenate it with someNameYYY to lc_table_name but then comes the problem:
I cannot do
SELECT *
FROM lc_table_name
because I get compiler error "lc_table_name" is not defined in ABAP dictionary.
How do I query a table with the name decided dynamically?

Dynamic change in the query name based on user input

Hi Gurus,
In a scenario, country appears as a user input variable.When the user specifies his country, the same query displays Business trends' data pertaining to his own country and rest of the world(international) in two tables.The reports are developed using Web application designer.
Can the name(description) of the query be changed so that the user input value for country gets dynamically reflected in the query name like Business trends:Selected country vs International?
Regards,
Balaji

Hi Bala,
ya this can be done by text variables. create a text variable( replacement path on the country infoobject) by going to the query properties on the description.
if the user enters country value then it will be displaed on the description of the query .
assign points if useful .

Can I use dynamic alias to name a column?

I guys. I just want to know if it is possible to assign dynamic names to a column. for instance:
SQL> select sysdate+1 from dual;
SYSDATE+1
09-JUL-08the column name is SYSDATE+1. can I do something like:
SQL> select 1 as (select sysdate from dual) from dual;(this throws error)
The reason for this requirement is that I need to assign a column name according to a value that comes from a parameter. So, instead of returning something like:
SQL> select sysdate, sysdate+1 from dual;
SYSDATE SYSDATE+1
08-JUL-08 09-JUL-08I need to find a way to return something like:
SQL> select sysdate as <<dynamic column name based on parameter that has been passed in>>, sysdate+1 AS <<dynamic column name based on parameter that has been passed in>> from dual;Obviously I can use something like:
select sysdate as "08-JUL-08", sysdate+1 AS "09-JUL-08" from dual;But in this case I'm hard coding it. I need this alias to be dynamic.
Any way to do it?

Why? Column names are a "programming thing" - not a "display thing".
When you render the columns, you can decide what and how to display them. It does not make any sense to attempt to do this dynamically.
Why not?
Sharable SQL.
Everytime you create a SQL and dynamically change the column aliases, you create a brand new unique SQL - even if the rest of the SELECT is exactly the same. This means you are stuffing the shared pool full of non-sharable SQL.
This is bad for performance (lots of hard parsing). It is bad for the shared pool (memory fragmentation).

Hi,
If I've understood the intention of your code correctly, you are trying to pivot the rows into columns and assign a "nice" header to the resulting columns.
You cannot dynamically assign a column name to a pivoted row. You need to know beforehand what row you are pivoting so you can assign a column name to it. This isn't as difficult as it sounds, there are a number of ways you could know what row will become what column.
Since I have no way to test using your code, I am posting an example for you that uses the EMP table that is part of the standard example databases shipped with Oracle.
Also, notice that, the code I am presenting is enclosed between the tags (which you cannot see) [ code ] and [ / code ] which is why it appears nicely formatted. Your code would be much easier to read and folks would be much more likely to understand what you want and therefore help you if you take the time to format your code so it is comprehensible.
See the basics of using tags to format your code at this page:
http://wiki.oracle.com/page/Oracle+Discussion+Forums+FAQ
Now the example that will help you get what you want:
/* this query calculates the total salaries per deptno */
SELECT job,
 deptno,
 sum(sal) sal
FROM emp
GROUP BY job, deptno;
/* output is */
JOB SUM(SAL)
CLERK 4150
SALESMAN 5600
PRESIDENT 5000
MANAGER 8275
ANALYST 6000
/* this query pivots the above query (which is what you're trying to do) */
SELECT *
FROM (
 SELECT job,
 deptno,
 sum(sal) sal
 FROM emp
 GROUP BY job, deptno
PIVOT (sum(sal) FOR deptno IN (10, 20, 30, 40));
/* output is */
 CLERK SALESMAN PRESIDENT MANAGER ANALYST
 4150 5600 5000 8275 6000If you are not using 11g, there are ways of doing the above without using the PIVOT clause. There are lots of examples in this forum on how to pivot rows. Here is one that pretty much does manually what the PIVOT clause does:
select max(case when job='CLERK'
 then ename else null end) as clerks,
 max(case when job='ANALYST'
 then ename else null end) as analysts,
 max(case when job='MANAGER'
 then ename else null end) as mgrs,
 max(case when job='PRESIDENT'
 then ename else null end) as prez,
 max(case when job='SALESMAN'
 then ename else null end) as sales
from (
select job,
 ename,
 row_number()over(partition by job order by ename) rn
from emp
 ) x
group by rn
/* outputs */

How to change recordset bahaviour to accept dynamic column names in the where clause

Hi
im using php-mysql and i make a recordset and i want to make the column names in the where clause to be dynamic like
"select id,name from mytable where $tablename-$myvar";
but when i do this my i break the recordset and it disappear
and when i use variables from advanced recordset it only dynamic for the value of the column not for the column name
and when i write the column name to dynamic as above by hand it truns a red exclamation mark on the server behaviour panel
so i think the only way is to change the recordset behaviour is it? if so How to make it accept dynamic column names?
thanks in advance.

As bregent has already explained to you, customizing the recordset code will result in Dreamweaver no longer recognizing the server behavior. This isn't a problem, but it does mean that you need to lay out your dynamic text with the Bindings panel before making any changes. Once you have changed the recordset code, the Bindings panel will no longer recognize the recordset fields.
Using a variable to choose a column name is quite simple, but you need to take some security measures to ensure that the value passed through the query string isn't attempting SQL injection. An effective way of doing this is to create an array of acceptable column names, and check that the value matches.
// create array of acceptable values
$valid = array('column_name1', 'column_name2', 'column_name3');
// if the query string contains an acceptable column name, use it
if (isset($_GET['colname']) && in_array($_GET['colname'], $valid)) {
$col = $GET['colname'];
} else {
// set a default value if the submitted one was invalid
$col = 'column_name1'
You can then use $col directly in the SQL query.

Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for:

>> I need to select from a dynamic column name and save the result in a variable, but seem to be having trouble with the values being fed to sp_executesql <<
This is so very, very wrong! A column is an attribute of an entity. The idea that you are so screwed up that you have no idea if you want
the shoe size, the phone number or something else at run time of this entity.
In Software Engineering we have a principle called cohesion that says a model should do one and only one task, have one and only one entry point, and one and only one exit point.
Hey, on a scale from 1 to 10, what color is your favorite letter of the alphabet? Yes, your mindset is that level of sillyity and absurdity.
Do you know that SQL is a declarative language? This family of languages does not use local variables!
Now think about “month_val” and what it means. A month is a temporal unit of measurement, so this is as silly as saying “liter_val” in your code. Why did you use “sp_” on a procedure? It has special meaning in T-SQL.
Think about how silly this is:
SET @month_val = 'Month' + CAST(@month_nbr AS VARCHAR(2));
We do not do display formatting in a query. This is a violation of at the tiered architecture principle. We have a presentation layer. But more than that, the INTERVAL temporal data type is a {year-month} and never just a month. This is fundamental.
We need to see the DDL so we can re-write this mess. Want to fix it or not?

Dynamic file name in case of .txt output files

Hi all,
I have a query related to dynamic file name scenario.
In case of IDOC-XI-FILE sceanrio,
Is it possible to generate .txt file name based on Plant number like
%<Plantname>%_%<BusinessDay>_filename.txt
Note:I have implemneted this for .xml output files but I am not able to implement it for .txt output files .
PLEASE HELP ME .
Regards
Prabhat

Hi Prabhat,
I think, the normal Dynamic File Name generation should work fine in your case also. Even if you perform Content Conversion, you can use Variable Name Substiution to create your Destination file name as, the name of the file is determined first and only then is the content converison perfromed.
for info on content conversion, I would suggest that you go through this thread and check my reply,

Passing Dynamic File Name to ODI nterface for processing to another system

Hi,
I need help regarding passing a Dynamically Name changing fixed length Flat File in ODI Interface. This interface is built for taking the Flat File as Input and process it to SQL Server by applying Data Mapping and transformations... The input Flat File Name is sequence generated for eg: OEORD1123.txt and next file will be OEORD1124.txt and it sits in Oracle Conc tier. How to pass the latest file name to ODI interface for processing
Regards,
Anil..

Hi Guys...
I would like to suggest a way.
a) create a single interface with dynamic resouce name (a ODI variable) with a filter to the month column like:
month_column = '#vCountMonth'
b) in the refresh tab of a first variable (I named "vMonth"), use the following query: (varialbe should be alphanumeric, "not persistent")
select to_char(to_date('#vCountMonth','MM'),'month') from dual
c) create one more ODI variable (I named "vCountMonth"), alphanumeric, not persistent and at its refresh tab write:
select lpad(to_char(#vCountMonth + 1), 2, '0') from dual
d) now just create a package, drag and drop the objects in the following order:
d.1) vCountMonth in set mode and set = 0 (zero)
d.2) vCountMonth in refresh mode
d.3) vMonth in refresh mode
d.4) the interface
d.5) vCountMonth in evaluate mode, evaluating "= 12"
==> if NO (KO, red line) link the KO line to d.2 step
==> a OK line is not necessary unless you have others steps after finish the evaluating
Make any sense? That is a single loop to have the interface developed only one time.
Please, remember to check each thread reply as Useful or Correct if they are useful to you...
