Dynamic Column Names - Table Maintenance - SM31

Hey Everyone - I hope you are all having a good day )
Basically I have a custom Z table containing a number of different fields. I have created table maintenance for this table so it can be updated via SM31. This table is a generic mapping table that will be used for all mappings.
What I want to do is change the name of the columns based on x criteria when maintained in SM31. So for example.
The user chooses to edit line one, through SM31- for Company Code 123 - at this point I want to change the name of Columns 1 through 5 to relevant names for that Company Code. e.g A, B, C, D, E respectively. If the User chooses Company Code 567 then the names of Columns 1 through 5 will be something else. e.g. F, G, H, I, J respectively.
In the PBO of the overview screen I have implemented code to process this behaviour. From here I can hide fields etc etc. However I dont know where to change the actual Columns names to what I want them to be - i.e overwrite the Field Name coming in from the data element.
I would be very appreciative if anyone could help out on this. As always, thanks for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards
Damien

When system generates the Table Maintenance, it creates LABEL (text fields) for the column heading in the table control and we can't control this labels from our program. These Label names are as like
*tablename-fieldname E.g. *ZTEST_TAB-FIELD1
So, you can replace these labels with Input Output Text field.
Make sure you give the same name as respective label's name.
Make these fields as "Output Only".
Now, you would be able to change the value of these fields from the PBO.
Word of caution: These of changes would go away if try to recreate the table maintenance.

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:

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?

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.

Dynamic column name sql?

I need to do a select statement using dynamic column names. Can it be done WITHOUT building a string to execute the sql?
In other words, I want to use a variable name in the SELECT part of a statement.
Thanks

Properly done, there shouldn't be a great difference in the performance of static and dynamic SQL. Of course, dynamic SQL is a whole lot more complicated to get right. It's also rather at odds with your requirement that column names get passed in dynamically-- if you don't know what columns you're going to select at compile time, you can't use static SQL.
That said, there are a handful of tricks around using Oracle's built-in XML processing functionality to simulate dynamic SQL. This is almost certainly less efficient than doing dynamic SQL in your case, and a whole lot more complicated, but it's technically not dynamic SQL.
The proper response, though, is almost certainly to either
1) figure out how to design the application so that column names need not be passed in at runtime or
2) use dynamic SQL.
If at all possible, option 1 is generally preferable. While there are situations where dynamic SQL is necessary, those tend to be rather rare.

Parse SQL: How to extract column names, table names from a SQL query

Hi all,
I have a requirement wherein a SQL query will be given in a text file.
The text file has to be read (probably using text_io package), the SQL query needs to be parsed and the column names, table names and where clauses have to be extracted and inserted into separate tables.
Is there a way to do it using PL/SQL ?
Is there a PL/SQL script available to parse and extract column names, table names etc ?
Pls help.
Regards,
Sam

I think I jumped to conclusion too early saying it is completely possible and straight forward. But after reading through your post for one more time I realised you are not interested only in the column_names, also the table_names and the predicates .
>
SQL query needs to be parsed and the column names
>
The above is possible and straight forward using the dbms_sql package.
I am pasting the same information as I did in the other forum.
Check this link and search for Example 8 and .
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_sql.htm#sthref6136
Also check the working example from asktom

>

>
Now this is the tricky bit. You can extract the list of tables by getting the sql_id from v$sql and joining it with v$sql_plan. But sometimes you may not get all the results because the optimizer may choose to refine your query (check this link)
http://optimizermagic.blogspot.com/2008/06/why-are-some-of-tables-in-my-query.html
and you can get the predicate information from the same table v$sql_plan but I will leave that area for you to do some R&D.

Dynamic Column Names from one table and its corresponding values from another table

I have 2 tables. First tables gives the specification if a column is required or not. we have the 2nd table with the same column name where we provide the actual values.
I want to select all the required columns from the 1st table and retrieve the values for those from the 2nd table. Both this i want to achieve in a single select statement.

This wil require a dynamic Query with a Pivot
DECLARE @ColsPivot as VARCHAR(MAX);
DECLARE @Query AS VARCHAR(MAX);
1. Retreive the ID for all required field
SET @ColsPivot = (SELECT STUFF((SELECT ',' + quotename(CAST([RequirementID] as varchar(3))) FROM [dbo].[Requirement] WHERE required=1 FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)') ,1,1,''));
This will give you : [1],[2],[3],[8],[9],[14] for exemple.
2. Build your Query
SET @Query ='SELECT ClientID,'+@ColsPivot+''
   FROM (
       SELECT [ClientID],[RequirementID],[Value]
       FROM dbo.RequirementValue
       WHERE ClientID=@CliendID --Optional SP parameter
   )src
         PIVOT(
           MAX(Value)
           for [RequirementID] in ('+@ColsPivot+')
   ) p';
3. Exec(@Query);

Need to return dynamic column names for a function returning nested table

I am having a pl/sql function which is returning a nested table.
For this i have defined an object which is having 4 attributes- 1 number type, 3 varchar2 type -p1,p2,p3.
My function is taking input parameter v1,v2,v3 all of varchar2 type.Inside the function body,i am using these (v1,v2,v3) to filter data from an sql query and i am also
using pivot function in this sql query.
At the end my function is returning the object as defined in the starting .
When i am excuting this function,thru select statement :
select * from table(f1_test('A','B','C'));
i am geting p1,p2,p3 as column name ,which are names used when i had defined object type.Instead i want column name to be dynamic (wotever i am passing in function as
parameter while executing the function ,here A,B,C)
Please help me in geting column names dynamic as passed in input parameter (i.e A,B,C for this case )
Sample code for the problem:
create or replace TYPE obj1 AS OBJECT
( id number(5,0)
,p1 varchar2(10),
,p2 varchar2(10)
,p3 varchar2(10)
create or replace TYPE tt1 AS TABLE OF OBJ1;

Dynamic Column name in a Cursor

Hello there,
How can I access data in cursor's field with dynamic fields names, more illustration follows:
My table has columns named as C1,C2,C3 so on
defined a cursor cursor_name on that table,
I need to access the fields by a loop like this:
OPEN cursor_name;
Fetch cursor_name into rec;
for i in 1 .. 10 loop
if rec.ci = 1Then
end if;
end loop
close cursor_name;
where rec,ci represents the name of the cursor fields, so that I loop over them,
how can I implement such an idea,
thanks in advance
regards

Thanks Bily, and user10715047,
actually the reason behind the need of such an approach, is as following:
assume that I have table of set of logical conditions, " LOGICAL CONDITIONS" has three columns: ID, Condition_name and the logical_condition, example:
1, c1, x = 1
5, c2, y = 2
10, c3, p = 3 where ID is just a sequence to identify the records from each other "primary key"
assume that I need to provide the possible combination of the result of applying each of the conditions, for example :
if c1 = 1 ,c2= 0 and c3= 1 then my result must be 1 ' This according some predefined rulesso that I created table which contains all the possible logical conditions, ( as the max number of logical conditions are known)
defined as follows : combination( combination_ID, c1, c2, c3, c4, ....cmax, result)
sample record:
combination_ID, c1, c2, c3, .. c max, result
100, 1, 0, 1, ....., 1, 1in the PL/SQL procedure, I would get all the needed combination, into a cursor, then to optimized the code, I need to access the fields ( which is the Ci) in a loop
for i in 1..3 loop
if cursor_rec.ci = 1 then
Action
end if;
end loop;the dynamic name I meant in my first post was this : cursor_rec.ci ,
so that I can access the cursor's fields without the need to name them one by one, as there could be long sequence of conditions to be checked.
hope that I made the idea clearer, Any suggestions, please !
anyway I will give the DBMS_SQL cursors a shot , try if I can use to implement the purpose,
as I know similar dynamical variable names, is available in Java,
Regards,

Dynamic forms using dynamic column names

I have a table with columns such as level_1, level_2, etc.
until level_11 and I have another table with level_id and
description, i.e. for level with id = 1 the description could be
'Crawl.' Id 2 could be 'Walk' etc.
I'm trying to make a checklist so people can mark when
they've done things on the checklist, and then upload those values
to the appropriate tables to store the information so it's all
still there when they go back to check off a new skill.
I can't figure out how to make the column names in the form
dynamic.
I've played around with the formatting and still can't quite
get it. I've tried evaluate(queryname.level_#level_id#),
queryname.label, a bunch of other ones, and I can't seem to get it
to work.
Thanks for the help!

Get to know CF's structure / array notation. This comes in
very handy when dealing with queries and form fields.
- Form.myFieldName can also be referenced by
Form["myFieldName"]
- MyQuery.myField can also be referenced by
MyQuery["myField"][rowNumber]
Anything in the above example surrounded by quotation makes
can be made dynamic by just adding in a cf variable surrounded by
pound signs:
get_dealer_completion["level_#level_id#"][1]

Dynamic Column Names using Refcursors

Hi,
I have a stored procedure which returns a refcursor. The refcursor contains a SQL query in which the column names and number of columns vary dynamically based on the date parameters passed.
"My objective is to return certain XYZ details of employees for a certain month range."
For ex: For the month of Aug-2011, the column names would be '1-AUG-11' to '31-AUG-11 and for Feb-2011 '1-FEB-11' to '28-FEB-11'
My issue is, when I execute the refcursor query using "EXEC", my column names/headings are preserved.
FIELD NAMES: EMPLOYEE_CODE XYZ_TYPE *1-AUG-11* *2-AUG-11* ... *31-AUG-11*
DATA: EMPCODE_Z TYPE1 VALUE_1 VALUE_1 ... VALUE_31
Whereas when I fetch the refcursor into a collection of nested table and display, my column names are lost.
DATA: EMPCODE_Z TYPE1 VALUE_1 VALUE_1 ... VALUE_31
Is there a way where I can preserve the column names from the refcursor after fetching into pl/sql collections?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

If not dynamic SQL, how can the number of columns be altered based on the input parameters?Cannot. A dynamic SQL projection means dynamic SQL (there's an exception to this, and despite interesting is not relevant to 99.99% of problems dealing with dynamic SQL projections).
You can however still use a dynamic projection and wrap that into a user defined type interface.
Here's the basic approach:
// create a user define type that will provide the wrapper for the SQL projection
create or replace type TString as table of varchar2(4000);
// build dynamic SQL projections via this type, e.g.
select
TStrings( object_id, object_name, created )
from user_objects
select
TStrings( emp_id, dept_id, salary, commission )
from employeesDespite the SQL cursors being different and the columns and number of columns being selected different, the SQL projection of both are the same. The Count method tells you the number of columns in the projection. Referencing an applicable column is simply done by using the column's sequential number in the projection.
You also do not have to use a collection or varchar2 as the wrapper type - you can create complex user objects and use the collection type for that, as the SQL projection.
Another alternative is converting the ref cursor into a DBMS_SQL cursor and using the latter's describe interface to dynamically determine the structure of the SQL projection and fetching the column values from it. But 11gr1 or later is needed for doing this.

Dynamic column name in OBIEE

Hi all,
In my report i need to show one chart view. I'm having one prompt. There the user is asked to select a no. for eg. say 10. and a date eg. 10-JAN-09. So my report should show the data from 10-JAN-09 and go backwards to 10 days. if he selects 5 days then only 5 days of data only need to show from that date. This part is ok. The chart has five sections in it. They are
1) 80-100% of the time period
2) 60-80%
3) 40-60%
4) 20-40%
5) <20%
So the legends should vary according to this.
Suppose if the user selects 10 days then the legend should be,
1) 8-10 days
2) 6-7 days
3) 4-5 days
4) 2-3 days
5) less than 2 days
If user selects 5 means then the legend should be,
1) 5 days
2) 4 days
3) 3 days
4) 2 days
5) 1 day
In the prompt im saving this value in one variable. So all i need to do is to apply aggregation on the variable and place it in the column name. But i dont know where to give it. Please help.
Thanks,
Karthick

Hi when you dynamically change the table column that will automatically reflect in the chart legend.

My scenario is little different, let me explain:
My columns will remain same but values changes (based on column formula) according to the selected prompt value
If I select 'Oct' from prompt then
Curr will contain data for 'Oct' only
Next1 will contain data for 'Nov' only
Next2 will contain data for 'Dec' only
Next3 will contain data for 'Jan' of next year only.
Later if I select 'Jul' from prompt then
Curr will contain data for 'Jul' only
Next1 will contain data for 'Aug' only
Next2 will contain data for 'Sep' only
Next3 will contain data for 'Oct' only.
I don't have different columns for each months but the columns are capable to reflect data for any month.
So, how can I reflect the column name as month name for which that contains data.

Cannot use alias for dynamic column name in SELECT statement

Hi,
I want to retrieve values from several tables by using dynamic column & table name as below:
DATA: tbl_name(30) TYPE c VALUE '/bic/tbi_srcsys', " staticly initialized for this example
col_name(30) TYPE c VALUE '/bic/bi_srcsys'. " staticly initialized for this example
SELECT (col_name) INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_values FROM (tbl_name).
The internal table "it_values" does not contain a field named "/bic/bi_srcsys", instead it has another generic field "value" so that the above code can be applied to other tables. I tried to use alias (AS) as below:
SELECT (col_name) AS value INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_values FROM (tbl_name).
But this cannot work. I know that there are other ways to solve this problem, such as by using a single field in SELECT .. ENDSELECT and subsequently appending it to the work area and internal table as below:
SELECT (col_name) INTO (lv_value) FROM (tbl_name).
wa_value-value = lv_value.
APPEND wa_value TO it_values.
ENDSELECT.
Just wonder if there is any other more elegant workaround, because I might have several other fields instead of only one?
Thanks.

Joon Meng

Sorry that I have not well described the structure of the internal table "it_values". This internal table contains several other fields (key, type, value, etc.).
I guess that the following code
SELECT (col_name) INTO TABLE it_values FROM (tbl_name).
works if the internal table only has one field (value) or the field "value" is in the first position, right?
In this case, I need to fill the "value" field of internal table it_values (ignore the other fields like type, key) with values retrieved from (col_name) of the DDIC table.
Looking forward to your reply.
BR,
Joon Meng

Dynamic actions on button and dynamic column name

Hi!ynam
I want to create a dynamic action on button click in my tabular form.
I have a select list with values of my column names (P7_X_COLUMN) and a text field where users input values for update (P7_X_UVALUE).
My idea is that when they click the button, they update selected column to desired value in all rows.
However, I get the following error:
ORA-06550: line 5, column 5: PL/SQL: ORA-01747: invalid user.table.column, table.column, or column specification ORA-06550: line 4, column 1: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored (Go to error)
It seems to me that I have not referenced the column name correctly, I thought it was the same as referencing values. How do I do that?
This is my code:
begin
update "#OWNER#"."IZV_SLOG_DET"
set :P7_X_COLUMN=:P7_X_UVALUE;
end;
Regards,
Ivan

I got it to work, but the query is too big. Can anyone help me with how to get it to work?
I tried breaking it into more varchar2 strings, but i always get the same error:
Error processing row.
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
