Dynamic query with x.recordcount output

I have a query that gets Distinct States listed in a Sponsor table
<cfquery name="statecount" datasource="#db#">
SELECT DISTINCT STATE FROM tbl_sponsors
WHERE SalesRep = "#form.user#" or Manager = "#form.user#"
</cfquery>
I then loop through the results with this:
<cfloop from="1" to="#statecount.RecordCount#" index="i">
The results are: WA and OR
Inside the loop I create an array for:
<cfset getTotals = ArrayNew(1)>
<cfset ArrayAppend(getTotals, "getTotals#statecount.State[i]#")> This sets "getTotalsWA" and "getTotalsOR" correlating to each loop.
I use the "getTotals" variable to name my query:
<cfquery name="#getTotals[1]#" datasource="#mydatasource#>
I run into a problem when trying to call the RecordCount of the "getTotals[1]" result - #getTotals[1].RecordCount#.
I get the error:
You have attempted to dereference a scalar variable of type class java.lang.String as a structure with members
My logic makes sense to me, but obviously is wrong. How can I adjust it to work?

So I see where yur logic is failing you.
So let's say that getTotals[1] = "getTotalsWA"
That means that getTotals[1] is a string
Now you create a query with that value
<cfquery name="#getTotals[1]#" ... >
You now have a query object names "getTotalsWA"
But what you are trying to output is: #getTotals[1].RecordCount#
getTotals[1] is still just the string "getTotalsWA" and therefore does not have the attribute RECORDCOUNT. You are still referencing the string in the array get totals, you are not referencing the newly created variable named "getTotalsWA"
To access that value you need to go at it a little differently.
Try this: #variables[getTotals[1]].RecordCount#
I think this will work. Here, I am telling CF to get the variable named #getTotals[1]# (which translates to "getTotalsWA" from the VARIABLES scope.

Please help.
Thanks in advance,

select 1 id, 'A' keyword from dual union all
select 2 id, 'B' keyword from dual union all
select 3 id, 'C' keyword from dual
table2 as (
select 'Alice' name from dual union all

Create a dynamic query with or/and

Hello!
Please help to accomplish the following:
User needs to create a dynamic query.
There are few select lists: sex, race, state …
User selects whatever he needs from select lists, which would become the first part of the “where clause” – i.e. (sex = ‘M’ AND state = ‘NY’).
Then the user wants to add an additional condition using “OR/AND” – i.e. i.e. (sex = ‘M’ AND state = ‘NY’) OR (sex = ‘F’).
I have been able to build the first clause and pass to a variable. I need to be able to clear the values in the select lists, but keep the value stored in the variable, and then append each new clause to the variable. This needs to be event driven by an item on the page.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
At that point my application works fine.
But I need to add ability to clear select lists and enter a new condition with 'OR'
operator.
The final SQL statement should look:
select employee_id, name from employee_v where (sex = ‘M’ AND state = ‘NY’) OR (sex = ‘F’)
Thank you.

OUTPUT variable from dynamic query with openquery

I am working on a dynamic sql statement that uses openquery to retrieve some columns from an Oracle source. My goal is to take the variables from the select openquery statement and store them, so they can be passed to an insert statement. I am
having no problem getting the emplid but the first_name and last_name are NULL
Any help would be appreciated.
DECLARE @sql nvarchar(max)
declare @emplid varchar(11)
declare @first_name varchar(50)
set @emplid = '1234'
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SET @sql = 'select distinct emplid,
First_name ,
Last_name
from openquery(DWHCRPT, ''select p.emplid, p.First_nAME, p.last_nAME
FROM PS_OCC_BIODEMO_S P
where P.emplid = ''''' + @emplid + ''''''') A';
EXEC SP_executesql @SQL, N'@emplid VARCHAR (11), @first_name varchar(50) OUTPUT', @emplid, @first_name = first_name;
select @emplid, @first_name --currently returning NULL
END

Patrick's query would work, but it would drag the entire table over to SQL Server, which could be expensive.
The code you posted have several flaws. You are not assigning @first_name, and you have failed to provide OUTPUT for the actual parameter. Also, the DISTINCT looks out of place. Isn't emplid a key?
This should work better:
SET @sql = 'select @first_name = First_name
from openquery(DWHCRPT, ''select p.First_nAME, p.last_nAME
FROM PS_OCC_BIODEMO_S P
where P.emplid = ''''' + @emplid + ''''''') A';
EXEC SP_executesql @SQL, N'@emplid VARCHAR (11), @first_name varchar(50) OUTPUT', @emplid, @first_name = @first_name OUTPUT;
select @emplid, @first_name --currently returning NULL

Dynamic query with Data Access Layer

I have a program that has a multiselect box (JSP form) to select certifications and then search to see which employee may have them.
I have no issues when searching by only one, but if I select multiple certifications from the multiselect box, it doesn't work. I've tried and tried and I can't seem to figure this out.
Below is the code for returning employees that match what certifications were chosen. Again, it works fine if only 1 was selected. I wish for it to return only the employees that match all selections.
the arguments passed to the DataAccess Layer are an array of certification ID's and the size variable is how many certifications were chosen. The for loop is supposed to dynamically append to the end of the query an extra "AND" sql operator to match up. The 3 tables selected in the query are Employee (a list of employees and ID's), Certificates (a list of possible certificates and their ID's) and Employee_Certificate (a table that matches which employees have which certificates).
What am I doing wrong?
public List certSearch(int cert[], int size) throws Exception{

Dynamic query with drop down lists

I have two select queries in my program.
The first query is to obtain and then display the list of
clients.
The second query I want to display only projects which are
linked to a specific client.
<cfquery name="getClient" datasource="#request.DSN#">
Select tblClients.ClientID, tblClients.ClientName
From tblClients
Order by tblClients.ClientName</cfquery>
<cfquery name="getProjects" datasource="#Request.DSN#">
Select tblprojects.ProjectID, tblProject.Project,
tblProject.ProjectID
From tblProject, tblClients
WHERE tblClients.ClientID = tblProject.ClientID AND
tblClients.ClientID = #getClient.ClientID# </cfquery>
I am displaying the first select box ok and it is populated
with the correct information.
The second select box is ot quite correct. It is only
displaying one record - the first record in the file.
<select name="Client">
<cfoutput query="getclient">
<option
value="#getclient.ClientID#">#getclient.ClientName#</option>
</cfoutput>
</select>
<select name="Project">
<cfoutput query="getProject">
<option
value="#getProject.ProjectID#">#getProject.Project#</option>
</cfoutput>
</select>
Any ideas on how to correct this would be greatly
appreciated.
Kind regards

In your second query you are using the variable
#getClient.ClientID#
Outside of a <cfloop query=""> or a <cfoutput
query=""> CF assumes you meant
: #getClient.ClientID[1]# (which is the first record of the
getClient Query.
If you are trying to pull up a list of projects that are for
the getClient list, then try this instead
<cfquery name="getProjects" datasource="#Request.DSN#">
Select tblprojects.ProjectID, tblProject.Project,
tblProject.ProjectID
From tblProject, tblClients
WHERE tblClients.ClientID = tblProject.ClientID AND
tblClients.ClientID IN (#valuelist(getClient.ClientID)#)
</cfquery>
Valuelist changes any 'column' from a query into a list.
Hope this helps

Dynamic query with ref cursors

please help me out there.
can you give an example of how to construct a procedure using ref cursors.
say if I had an employee table.
employee table
first name
last name
position
dept
I would have three input parameters, last name, position, dept. Sometimes only one parameters would be passed. Sometimes only two or sometimes all three.
How can I construct the procedure being that the parameters will be dynamic
thanks.

Don't worry user484105 I don't do kicking, sarcasm and bad humour are other matters though.
Yes you can use sys_refcursor, in fact all the tests that Todd and I have supplied, have done just that. Do you have a development database to work in?
if so I would recommend
1. Run demobld.sql if you don't already have emp table.
2. Copy my second post in your other thread.
3. Edit out all the sqlplus output and the first four columns.
4. If any of this puzzles you see if you can find the answer in the SQL Reference, PL/SQL Guide or SQL*Plus manuals
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/toc.htm
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14261/toc.htm
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/toc.htm
5. If you can't find the answer post what you have and the error here.
6. It is probably best if you use sqlplus for this.
You will learn a lot if you can do this.

Generating Dynamic Query for Ad-Hoc Reports

Hello,
What is the best way to create a dynamic query to generate ad-hoc reports? I have a couple of ideas but not sure which would work best and be most flexible.
I would like our users to be able to check checkboxes for what data they would like returned in their report. The data would be pulled from a number of tables, 10+, depending on what pieces of data they checked.
Should I write one dynamic query, with a bunch of IF statements in it?
Should I write many individual queries and then join them together in a temp query?
Should I create a temp table on our SQL server which contains the data from all of the tables; then query that? (I am worried about data being out-of-date with this option.)
Which one of these solutions should I go with or is there a better solution that I am not considering?
Thanks for the help.
Josh

Do you mean a Stored Procedure? Would the Stored Procedure then have one query on it with a bunch if IF statements? Maybe a bad example, but something like this?
Yep.
I haven't written a proc for a coupla years (I have DB people to do that for me now, bless 'em), but every DB is different, so the approach will vary depending on what DB you have. It's perhaps time to buy a book or do a google or something.

Error in dynamic query while sort allowed is true

Dear all
I m entering search creteria dynamically and search result comes in a table.I have set Sort allowed true for all colum in that table.So when I click on any colum for sorting and then search data, an order by clause will be added before dynamic section of the code.
and query becomes as -
SELECT pp.name,
pp.segment1 project_number,
pp.project_status_code,
pps.project_status_name,
pp.carrying_out_organization_id,
hau.name organization,
pp.project_type,
pp.project_id,
pp.start_date,
pp.completion_date
FROM pa_projects pp,
pa_project_statuses pps,
hr_all_organization_units_v hau
WHERE pp.project_status_code = pps.project_status_code AND
pp.carrying_out_organization_id = hau.organization_id AND
pp.template_flag <> 'Y') QRSLT ORDER BY PROJECT_NUMBER asc AND pps.project_status_name ='Active'
as u can see at the last line of code ' ORDER BY PROJECT_NUMBER asc ' is added before qynamic section 'AND pps.project_status_name ='Active' and it makes query invalid.
If u have any suggestions ,Plz let me know.
Thanks
bhupendra

Bhupendra,
As per Oracle SQL Standard "Order by clause" always be the last synatx of Query.
As per OAF Standard , always avoid for dynamic query, instead we can create View Object.
As you are created dynamic query with "order by clause" syntax., The code is also adding where clause after the order by clause. So you are getting the error.
So Delete the "order by clause", it will work fine.
After adding the where clause (i.e. AND pps.project_status_name ='Active' ), You should add the setOrderByClause();
Thanks,
Kumar

Sql query with dynamic fiscal year

Hi,
I wrote this query with static fiscal year and fiscal period, I need info on making the variables dynamic
Fiscal year : starts from July1st. So this year until June'30 it is '2011' and from July'1st its '2012'
Fiscal period: July1st its '1' and June'1st its '12'
Query:
select distinct o.c_num, o.ac_num, s.sub_ac_num, o.fiscal_year, o.ac_exp_date, s.sub_ac_ind
                         from org_account o
                              left outer join sub_account s
                              on o.c_num = s.c_num and o.ac_num = s.ac_num
                         where (o.ac_exp_date >= CURRENT_DATE or o.ac_exp_date is null)
                         and o.fiscal_year = *'2011'* --> need to be dynamic
                         and o.fiscal_period = *'12'* --> need to be dynamic
thanks,

Hi, Mano,
Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you have a question, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), and the results you want from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.
Since this is your first thread, I'll post some sample data for you:
CREATE TABLE     table_x
(     dt     DATE
INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2010-12-31');
INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2011-01-01');
INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2011-06-02');
INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2011-06-30');
INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2011-07-01');Is this the output you would want from that data?
DT          FISCAL_YEAR     FISCAL_PERIOD
31-Dec-2010 2011            06
01-Jan-2011 2011            07
02-Jun-2011 2011            12
30-Jun-2011 2011            12
01-Jul-2011 2012            01If so, here's one way to get it:
SELECT       dt
,       TO_CHAR ( ADD_MONTHS (dt, 6)
            , 'YYYY'
            )     AS fiscal_year
,       TO_CHAR ( ADD_MONTHS (dt, 6)
            , 'MM'
            )     AS fiscal_period
FROM       table_x
ORDER BY dt
;Since your fiscal year starts 6 months before the calendar year, you need to add 6 months to the actual date to get the fiscal year and month.
The query above produces strings for fiscal_year and fiscal_period. If you'd rather have NUMBERs, then use EXTRACT instead of TO_CHAR:
SELECT       dt
,       EXTRACT (      YEAR
            FROM     ADD_MONTHS (dt, 6)
            )     AS fiscal_year
,       EXTRACT (      MONTH
            FROM     ADD_MONTHS (dt, 6)
            )     AS fiscal_period
FROM       table_x
ORDER BY dt
;The first query will work in Oracle 6 (and higher).
I'm not sure when EXTRACT was introduced. It definitely works in Oracle 10, and may be available in earlier versions, too.

Help on performance with dynamic query

Hi All,
We are using SQL Server 2008R2. In our one of report we are using Dynamic query and it is taking more time to retrieve the data. to retrieve 32 records it is taking 13-15 secs. In my observation in a table variable, created more than 60 columns. In
the SP called one more sp with insert statement.
Please let me know how i can improve performance of the SP.
I know that i have to provide the SP for observation but unfortunately I cannot provide the SP. Please guide me how i can achieve this .
I tried with temp tables by creating indexes on temp tables but i couldn't find improvement in performance.
Waiting for valuable replies.

First of all a "dynamic query" is not "a query" - it is a multitude of them. Some of them may be fast, others may be slow.
There is of course no way we can give specific suggestions without seeing the code, the table and index definitions etc.
We can only give the generic suggestions. As for the code, make sure that you are using parameterised SQL and you are not building a complete SQL string with parameters and all. If nothing else, this helps to make the code more readable and maintainable.
It also protects you against SQL injection. And it also helps to prevent performance issue due to implicit conversion.
You will need to look at the query plan to see where the bottlenecks may be. You should look at the actual query plan. Note that the thickness of the arrows are more relevant than the percentages you see; the percentages are only estimates, and estimates
are often off. Next step is to see if you can add indexes to alleviate the situation. You should also analyse if there are problems in the query, for instance indexed columns that are entangled in expression. If you are using views, make sure that you don't
have views built on top of views etc. This can often result a table appearing multiple times in a query, when one would be enough.

Input query with dynamic actual & forecast values by month per year

Hello,
I am working on a Input ready query for a forecasting application which shows both actuals and forecast numbers and the user will revise the forecast numbers by month
Requirement: I want to build a Input query for monthly forecasting for the current year. It will be dynamic rolling of months with actuals & forecast data.
E.g. My report has 12 months for the current year
and if run the report in May, the months before May has to show the actuals and the months after May has to show the old forecast data so that the user will revise the numbers again in each month and save the data to the real time cube.
Jan.Feb.Mar.Apr.May.Jun.Jul.Aug.Sept.Nov.Dec
Act Act Act Act Act Old frcst for the remaining months
user will revise forecast for these months
So, i am able to create Input query with all restricted key figures( plan kf has change mode set to change, actual kf are not set change) and calculate key figures and all the logic is done on dynamically moving/rolling the data based on the input month of the year.
But the problem is that i am using cal kf to dynamically roll months, i was not able to set the change option for the cal kf.
So, how can i make sure that the dynamically changed plan months will open for entering forecast and the actuals months not to change?
Do you guys have any better solutions in implementing it?
I really appreciate it your input....:)
Thanks,

Hi,
Please look at the following DOC which may be useful to you and if so please grant me point.

Input-Ready Query
Use
You use input-ready queries to create applications for manual planning. These can range from simple data entry scenarios to complex planning applications.
Integration
You define a query that you want to use for manual planning in the BEx Query Designer (see Defining New Queries).
In the Web Application Designer or the BEx Analyzer, you can combine the input-ready queries with other queries and planning functions to create complex planning applications.
Prerequisites
You can define an input-ready query on any of the following InfoProviders:
●     Aggregation levels (see Aggregation Levels)
●     MultiProviders that include at least one simple aggregation level
The aggregation levels are created in the planning modeler; MultiProviders are defined in the modeling functional area of the Data Warehousing Workbench.
Features
Definition of an Input-Ready Query
Once you have defined a query on an InfoProvider, you see the Planning tab page under the Properties of structural components (for example, in key figures or restricted key figures). The options provided there allow you to determine which structural components of an input-ready query are to be input ready at runtime and which are not. With structural components that are not input ready, you can also determine whether these components are viewed as reference data or are just protected against manual entry.
For the structural components, you also have the following options:
Input readiness of structural components of a query
Option
Description
Not input ready (reference data)
If they are being used as reference data, the structural components are not protected by data locks to ensure exclusive access for one user because this data serves as a reference for many users.
This is the default setting.
Not input ready (no reference data)
If you want to protect structural components against manual entries but allow changes by planning functions, you can use locks to protect this data for one particular user. In this way you can ensure that the planning function works with the displayed data only and not with data that has been changed by other users.
Input ready
You can also determine whether an input ready query is to be started in change mode or in display mode. You find this property in the Query Properties on the Planning tab page. If there is at least one input-ready query component, the query (as long as it has not been determined otherwise) is started in display mode.
In BI applications that use input ready queries as data providers, you can enter data manually at runtime. For more information, see Performing Manual Planning and Creation of Planning Applications.
Example
You want to create an input-ready query for manual planning for a plan-actual comparison of revenues for a set of products. You want the plan data in a real-time-enabled InfoCube and the actual data in a standard InfoCube.
       1.      Create a MultiProvider that includes the InfoCubes for the plan and actual data.
       2.      Define an aggregation level on the MultiProvider which contains the characteristic Product and the key figure Revenue.
       3.      On the aggregation level, create two restricted key figures Plan Revenue and Actual Revenue. For restriction, choose the characteristic 0INFOPROV and restrict it to the plan or actual InfoCube.
       4.      Add the restricted key figures to the key figure structure. Insert Product into the rows. For Plan Revenue, choose Input Ready for the input-readiness option. For Actual Revenue, choose the option Not Input Ready (Reference Data).
       5.      In the query properties, set the indicator that determines whether the queries are started in display or change mode as required.
Example of an input-ready query
Product
Plan Revenue
Actual Revenue
P01
20
P02
30
If you want to keep actual and plan data in a real-time enabled InfoCube, you do not require a MultiProvider for the task described above. Create an aggregation level on the InfoCube and define the input-ready query for the aggregation level. In the example above, a version characteristic acts as the InfoProvider. Create restricted key figures with the plan or actual version and proceed as in the previous example.

Creating Query with dynamic columns to show results

Hi experts,
I need to know how to create a query with dynamic columns. Meaning, I don't want to create a query with fixed columns representing the 12 periods of the fiscal year to show me actuals as the fiscal year proceeds.
For example, if I am currently in the middle of period 3 (March) of a fiscal year, when I execute the query, I need it to automatically only show me the 'Actuals' for periods 1 and 2, without seeing the columns from periods 3 to 12 showing blank.
Then when I am in the middle period 5 (May) the query should ONLY show me the columns for periods 1 to 4 'Actuals', no results should be shown for periods 5 to 12 yet, and I don't want to even see blank columns for period 6 to 12.
How do I define my columns, to achieve this.
Maximum points will be awarded.
Thanks Everyone.

Hi Josh,
I'm having a little difficuluty understanding what should be included in my restricted key figures.
The time characteristics that I have available to use are:
0FISCPER3 (posting period)
0FISCYEAR (fiscal year), currently using SAP EXIT to default current fiscal year.
0FISCVARNT (fiscal year variant).
In addition, I have the following characteristics available to be used in the columns:
Value type (10)
version (currently I'm using variable for it)
Currency type (020)
Currency (USD).
Can you explain what my restricted key figure should be based on and how it should look.
I tried to create a restircted key figure using 0AMOUNT, and 0FISCPER3. For 0FISCPER3 I created a range from 1 to previous period (using SAP EXIT that supplied previous period).I also had value type, version, currency type, and currency included in that restricted key figure.Then when I tried to drag 0FISCPER3 under the restricted key figure once again, it wouldn't let me, probably because I've already used 0FISCPER3 in the restricted key figure.
Please let me know if my explanation is not clear.
Your step by step help would be great.
Thanks

Absolute dynamic select query with dynamic join and where

Has anyone ever tried creating an absolutely dynamic SELECT query with dynamic Join and Where conditions.
I have a requirement of creating such a query in an Utility Class, and i have written the code. But its throwing my sysntax errors.
Please let me know where am I going wrong OR is it really possible to create such a dynamic Query??
    SELECT (FIELDS) INTO TABLE IT_TABLES
      FROM ( (ME->TABLE1) inner join ( me->table2 )
      on ( on_condition ) )
      WHERE (me->where_fields).
Ags.

It worked for me in a following way:
select * into corresponding fields of table <result_table>
        from (join_string)
        where (l_where).
Where the contents of join_string were dynamically build using concatenation. So it will be something like
concatenate ME->TABLE1 'as a INNER JOIN' me->table2 'as b ON (' into join_string separated by space.
<...>
add here matching/reference colums, something like
concatenate 'a~' me->TABLE1_JOIN_COL into temp1.
concatenate 'b~' me->TABLE2_JOIN_COL into temp2.
concatenate join_string temp1 '=' temp2 into join_string separated by space.
<...>
concatenate join_string ')' into join_string separated by space.
And then use similar approach for l_where variable.
