Dynamic SQL in non oracle Data Template

Hi All
I am currently working on a project with BI Publisher and we are developing on an OBIEE data source using data templates.
Does anyone know how to handle dynamic sql &Lexicals when your only data source is OBIEE.
I have found some code in the help which doesn't seem to work.
{$ if ${P_COUNTRY} = '*,*' $}
WHERE "Customers"."Country" in (&P_COUNTRY)
{$ elsif ${P_COUNTRY} = '*' $}
WHERE "Customers"."Country" = :P_COUNTRY
{$ else $}
{$ endif $}
Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy,
If you are using Answers as data source, Dynamic query is not possible.

Can you use SQL Developer against non Oracle data bases?

If so, then how do you define the connection for non Oracle data bases?

Look, SQL Developer has got to be a 'gateway' into Oracle DBs from other databases. JDBC allows simple introspection and execution of SQL commands. So the 'explain' button won't be available, or some of the DDL stuff, big deal! Let them get a taste of what they are missing by not having an Oracle database.
If we can get non-Oracle developers (especially MS SQL Server) to use SQL Developer it will expose them to the superiority of the Oracle DB server.
If they have heterogenous services installed they are already an Oracle customer -- we have little additional DB server sale opportunity there. SQL Developer is a really sweet tool and it could be a real draw into the DB server sales.
SQL Developer must be easily usable by non-Oracle customers in order to help us sell the DB server to them!

Mapping deploy for Non-Oracle Data Source hangs

Hi All,
I am trying to deploy mapping for Non-Oracle Data Source and it hangs.
Oracle version is 10.2.0.3 and OWB version is 10.2.0.1.3.1
It would be really appreciated if you can help.
Thanks!
PS.

That helpes quite a bit. I still can't get the app to retrieve data, but I am getting a more useful message in the log:
[Error in allocating a connection. Cause: Connection could not be allocated because: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied]
As you suggested, I removed the <default-resource-principal> stuff from sun-web.xml and modified it to match your example. Additionally, I changed the <res-ref-name> in web.xml from "jdbc/jdbc-simple" to "jdbc/oracle-dev".
The Connection Pool "Ping" from the Admin Console is successful with the user and password I have set in the parameters. (it fails if I change them, so I am pretty sure that is set up correctly) Is there another place I should check for user/pass information? Do I need to do anything to the samples/database.properties file?
By the way, this is the 4th quarter 2004 release of app server. Would it be beneficial to move to the Q1 2005 beta?
Many thanks for your help so far...

Can SQL*Plus connect via ODBC to NON-Oracle data source?????

I am struggling to understand something. I downloaded Oracle instance client, SQL*Plus and ODBC components with the hopes of being able to connect via SQL*Plus to a non-Oracle/ODBC compliant database.
Is this possible? Or is SQL*Plus ability to connect via ODBC only to an Oracle data source??
Thanks...

sqlplus only connects to oracle. you can use the odbc driver from instant client to allow other applications to access oracle via odbc (e.g. excel). if you need to connect to non-oracle odbc database (ms-access, foxpro, etc.) you need odbc driver for those sources.
you can use sqldeveloper to connect to oracle and non-oracle databases. check otn product info for sqldeveloper for more details.

Try to use dynamic sql connection for additioal data for xml publisher

I understand that the xml publisher is using template to merger the xml data output (say from Oracle report).
We have some Oracle seeded report and do not wish to modify these report, but we do need to add additional data to these reports. In the past, the tool we used has the capability to make dynamic sql calls to get these additional data. Can this be achieved in xml publisher?
I did noticed that the template builder has two options for upload data source: from a data file or from a sql connection, but seems they can not be used together. Not much document I can find for this. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi All,
Sandeep: if u have the solution pls send to my email id [email protected]
ill really appriciate u r response.
I have the same requirement to develop AR Invoice Report in XML publisher, actually it was developed using Optio Layout.my issue is the actual AR Invoice RDF contains 20 records and it showing the 20 recodes when we run that program (concurrent program output) after that while printing this report uisng the OPTIO layout (The Optio system is fetching some more records (10 records)) it printing total 30 records. i mean here the OPTIO is handling some pl/sql code i guess..
so now how we can handle this requirement using XMLP.I am using RTF Templates with 5.6.2 v. Is it possible to do the same manner how the OPTIO was doing. Is this possible with any other Templates ?. or we need to customize the RDF itself ? .but I know that I can go ahead and modify the existing out-of-the-box report, but I do not want to do that. I do not have control over the XML that is generated since the XML is generated when the report is run. Is there any way to retrieve the extra information AFTER the xml has been generated and BEFORE the template is applied ?
Thanks,
Rad

Can I change the SQL Datatype for Oracle Date?

xMII 11.5 maps Oracle's Date type to its SQL type code 91 (Date). When used in a display template, this xMII type displays only the date component (for example, "5/5/2007"), but in Oracle it holds the date and time. In Java, the java.sql.Date type also holds the time component. To get xMII to display a date/time (for example, "5/5/2007 11:23:59") you must have a SQL type code of 93 (Timestamp).
Is there any way to get my xMII widgets to show the date and time components of an Oracle Date? Is there a mapping of some kind that tells xMII which database SQL types map to which xMII SQL type codes?
-tim

In Aqua Data Studio:
SELECT CREATED_DATE_TIME, MESSAGE FROM COLLABORATION_LOG
where CREATED_DATE_TIME > to_date('01/01/07','mm/dd/yy') and site='DEM1'
order by CREATED_DATE_TIME DESC
GO
results:
CREATED_DATE_TIME   MESSAGE
5/3/2007 8:30:25 PM   (403)Access Forbidden
5/3/2007 8:30:25 PM   (403)Access Forbidden
5/3/2007 8:30:25 PM   (403)Access Forbidden
If I put the exact same SQL (without the "GO" at the end which is an Aqua Data Studio keyword) into a Fixed SQL Query in xMII and click "Test" and choose html format I get:
CREATED_DATE_TIME MESSAGE
05/03/2007 00:00:00 (403)Access Forbidden
05/03/2007 00:00:00 (403)Access Forbidden
05/03/2007 00:00:00 (403)Access Forbidden
The time component is reported as "00:00:00" in xMII which is not the desired result. I want xMII to see that column as a Timestamp which should read and sore both the date and time components in xMII.

Access non-Oracle data base from Oracle Data base?

Hi,
I have a system using Oracle data base but i have to query some data in
Access data base called TA_2008.mdb for specific table called FPTrans
My oracle database SID=Ahmed10g my schema is attend/attend.
I have tried to use the Heterogenous Services Generic Connectivity Agents .
I think i have to build the ODBC driver for Access database not for oracle and specify the Access DB name
But i built the driver for oracle.
Please clear the steps for me and correct me if i am wrong .......................
1. Create ODBC driver [microsoft ODBC for Oracle] as File Data Source Name =attendoraclefds
user : attend
password : attend
Server :ahmed10g
2. create intilization Parameter file in the path D:\oracle10gDB\product\10.2.0\db_1\hs\admin
called : initATTENDORACLEFDS.ora
CONTAINS PARAMETERS:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=FILEDSN=attendoraclefds
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=ON
3. Edit TNSname.ora file :
attendoraclefds =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = awahaishi_lptp.sepocye.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = attendoraclefds)
(HS = OK)
4. Edit Listener.ora file :
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle10gDB\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = attendoraclefds)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle10gDB\product\10.2.0\db_1)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = awahaishi_lptp.sepocye.com)(PORT = 1521))
5. Restart the listener
6. create the data base link:
CREATE DATABASE LINK accessDB
CONNECT TO attend IDENTIFIED BY attend
USING 'attendoraclefds';
select * from EMP_JOBS@accessDB;
Error occures say :
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
ORA-28541: Error in HS init file on line 9.
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from AAL

Dynamic SQL report on Oracle apex4.0

Hi Everyone,
I have two reports in one page.One is the Interactive and other is Sql report. Based on the selection of the row(using checkbox) in the interactive report, the sql report has to display the selected columns.
Note :The report has to be loaded whenever a row is selected and without submitting a button
Can anyone please suggest?
I am using oracle Apex4.0
Regards
Raj

I believe you store the values in the checkboxes. For example, your Interactive Report query looks like:
SELECT '<input type=checkbox value='||OBJID||' />' AS CHECKBOX, T.*
FROM SOME_TABLE T
and in "Report Atributes" the CHECKBOX is displayed as "Standard Report Column".
*1.Create a hidden check list input field.*
It will store a list values of selected checkboxes. make it long enough, eg. 1000.
Let's say the input name is: P000_X_CHECK_LIST
*2. Create Dynamic Action*
This dynamic action is supposed to fill in the P000_X_CHECK_LIST with a list of values, separated by ":" character.
These values will be an input for the SQL report.
Name: Update Check List
Event: Change
Selection Type: jQuery Selector
jQuery Selector: input:checkbox
Action: Set Value
Set Type: JavaScript Expression
function check_list() {
var n = "";
$(":checked").each( function () {
n = n + (n === "" ? "" : ":") + $(this).val();
return n;
check_list();
Selection Type: Item(s) - P000_X_CHECK_LIST
*3. Adjust the "SQL report" query with this magic formula*
AND SEARCHED_ITEM IN (
SELECT item
FROM (SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, '[^:]+', 1, LEVEL) item
FROM (SELECT :P000_X_CHECK_LIST str
FROM DUAL)
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= length (regexp_replace (str, '[^:]+')) + 1)
for example:
SELECT O.*
FROM SOME_OTHER_TABLE O
WHERE SEARCHED_ITEM IN (
SELECT item
FROM (SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, '[^:]+', 1, LEVEL) item
FROM (SELECT *:P000_X_CHECK_LIST* str
FROM DUAL)
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= length (regexp_replace (str, '[^:]+')) + 1)
*4. Adjust the Dynamic Action:*
Advanced: Event Scope: "live"
*5. Add one more True action to the Dynamic Action:*
Action: Refresh
Selection type: Region
Region: The region of the "SQL report".
Volia!
Best regards,
Krzysztof

Regarding Native SQL to access Oracle Data from SAP

Dear Gurus,
This query is regarding Native SQL.
Our database is Oracle and the client's database is also Oracle.
To access the data directly from the client's database(Oracle), can I use Native SQL commands?
Is there any disadvantage to use Native SQL?
If Native SQL can be used, can any one send me the code to access the data from Oracle?
Points will be rewarded.
Thanks & Regards,
Neeraj K.

The problem is always data integrity. Doing things this way you are bypassing any business logic. So for example if you are connecting to a SAP Oracle database. SAP will not support your SAP system as you are doing direct updates to the database. I would suppose that this would be the same for any other product using the Oracle database. If you are only reading data from the database then it should be fine. I would however always using API's to access/update data.

Oracle to Non-oracle data transfer

Does anyone know about how to get the data on the oracle database to the Teradata platform for reporting purposes?

Pl/sql procedure in XML Data Template.

Hi
I have a procedure , which is returning a ref cursor , i need to use this ref cursor in xml data templete . how we will write this data templete.
Also how to call the procedure in data templete.
Please guide me.
SS

If it's function you can call it direct, Procedure all you need to do is to wrap the procedure around a function and call that function which return the ref cursor
For example :
I have getdept procedure which has OUT ref cursor, I will wrap this with
get_dept function which return the ref Cursor then
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[SELECT get_dept(:p1,:p2,....) dept from dual]]>
</sqlStatement>

Dynamic style with non spatial data?

Hi all,
Here is the situation : I have two spatial tables with attributes.
Each row in the first one will be affected to a row or several rows in the second using a third table that links the primary keys of both tables. (the third table is actually a temporary table loaded from an xml file)
I would like to represent that on the map using a dynamic style. My column on which is based the affectation is varchar2 column. So I can't use numeric buckets.
Is it possible to do that? And how?
Thank you for your help.
Max

Hi Max,
for varchar2 columns you can use Collection bucket styles where the values can numbers of strings. Post the general sturcture of each table (the attributes), and how you would like to link them. You may be able to define a view linking the tables, and then use one attribute of the view for the collection style.

Dynamic sql generation using meta data

I am trying to generate a sql statement, which should select all the columns of a table. (120 columns around.) I dont want to write like select * from tablename
so I am trying to wrtie liek this, but I am having hard time.

I like output select col1,col2,col3,col5,col6 from MBR_RPT_CONT;
Can you help me?

from cols
where table_name = 'DEPT'
group by table_name
SEL_STM

Different LOV behavior between SQL query data model and data template

I have noticed different behavior when using parameters linked to list of values (LOV) of type menu with the multiple selection option enabled and a SQL query data model vs a data template. Here's the example because that first sentence was probably really confusing.
SQL Query:
select
plmc.MonthCode, plmc.ModalityDim, plmc.ModalityName,plmc.RegionDim
from
DataOut.dbo.PatientLabMonthlyCross plmc
where
plmc.MonthCode = 200202
and plmc.RegionDim = 1209
and 1 =
case
when coalesce(:modalityDim,null) is null
then 1
else
case
when plmc.ModalityDim in (:modalityDim)
then 1
else 0
end
end
Putting BI Publisher into debug mode, defining a data model of type SQL Query, defining a parameter called :modalityDim linked to a LOV that allows multiple selections, and selecting a couple of values from the LOV the output of the prepared statement is:
[081607_122647956][][STATEMENT] Sql Query : select
plmc.MonthCode,
plmc.ModalityDim,
plmc.ModalityName,
plmc.RegionDim
from
DataOut.dbo.PatientLabMonthlyCross plmc
where
plmc.MonthCode = 200202
and plmc.RegionDim = 1209
and 1 =
case
when coalesce(?,?,null) is null
then 1
else
case
when plmc.ModalityDim in (?,?)
then 1
else 0
end
end
[081607_122647956][][STATEMENT] 1:6

[081607_122654713][][EVENT] Total Data Generation Time 7.0 seconds
Note how the bind variable :modalityDim was changed into two parameters in the prepared statement.
When I use this same SQL Query in a data template the output is:
[081607_012113018][][STATEMENT] Sql Query : select
plmc.MonthCode,
plmc.ModalityDim,
plmc.ModalityName,

where
plmc.MonthCode = 200202
and plmc.RegionDim = 1209
and 1 =
case
when coalesce(?,null) is null
then 1
else
case
when plmc.ModalityDim in (?)
then 1
else 0
end
end
[081607_012113018][][STATEMENT] 1:'6','7'
[081607_012113018][][STATEMENT] 2:'6','7'
[081607_012113574][][EXCEPTION] java.sql.SQLException: Syntax error converting the nvarchar value ''6','7'' to a column of data type int.
Note the exception because it is trying to convert the multiple parameter values.
Am I doing something completely wrong here? I really need to use a data template because I will need to link a couple of queries together from different database vendors.
-mark

This is for 10.1.3.4 - because in 11g every SQL query is automatially part of a data model.
In 10g SQL query is for simple unrelated SQL queries.
If you need to use advance features such as:
a) multiple SQL queries that are joined in master-detail relation ships
b) before/after report triggers
Then you will need to use the data template, which is an XML description
of the queries, links, and PL/SQL calls.
hope that helps,
Klaus
