Extract Data Using SQL Expression

Hello, I've created a staging table and just realized that I need some new extra fields.
Should I create them in the stage or in the target table?
I want to use the SQL expression COUNT so to fill these new fields with edited source data,
but don't know exactly how to do it. I am a bit amateur.
Thank you.

I' ve just realized that I am reading your book! Oracle Warehouse Builder 11gR2: Getting Started 2011.
What If I need the rest of the fields not to be changed? Fields like Name or whatever.I can't figure it out. Thanks again.
For example, I have these two fields Name and Date and I want to use the count expression through the aggregation operator for the Date field and create a new field Quantity to store the reaults. But I need the field Name to remain intact.
How can I manage this? Thank you.

Filtering "created on" date using SQL Expressions

Hi there!
I want to build a filter for opportunities "created on" date.
I need to find all opportunities that were created over 30 days ago in lead stage.
I was trying:
Created on date is Not equal to or is not in:
1) NOW()
2) TimeStampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY,-30,CURRENT_DATE NOW())
I keep getting an error message.
Any help is appreciated.

I am in the historical opp area, here is the error:

Using sql expression in filter

Hi Experts,
I have a question using 'sql expression' in filters in answers. Let's say i have a date filter and i would like the value for that date as max(tablename.colname). Please tell me the syntax for passing this.
One more question is i have a date prompt the data will be refreshed weekly let's say the data refreshed like this *08/1/11 ,08/8/11 and 08/15/11* . Now if i select 08/08/11 it will show the data
populated on *08/08/11* which is ok but if i select *08/09/11 to 08/14/11* it show only *08/08/11* data. Same way if select *08/16/11 or 09/16/11* it should show the last refreshed data which is *08/15/11*
Thanks in Advance.
chak

Ok, so you want the report to be restricted as of last refresh date when your selects a date in prompt which is beyond/greater than the last refresh date.
One way of doing this can be as below:
- Capture the last refresh date in a repository variable. So this variable will always hold a value for last refresh date.
- In prompts, capture the date selected by user in a presentation variable and apply the below statement in the Advanced SQL of the report.
DateColumn = case when Timestamp '@{pvar}{2011-01-01 00:00:00}' <= valueof("lastRefDate") then timestamp '@{pvar}{2011-01-01 00:00:00}' else valueof("lastRefDate") end
Here pvar is your presentation var and lastRefDate is your rep variable holding the last refresh date. What this statement would do is if user selects a date which is less that equal to last refresh date, then report will be filtered as of that date. Else, the report will be filtered by value of the Last Refresh date.
Thanks

Loading data with dates using SQL*Loader

Dear everyone
I am currently trying to load some data containing dates using SQL*Loader.
For termination of fields I have been using ^ because I have some book titles which contain " and ' as part of their title. I found that the TO_DATE function did not seem to work using ^ instead of ". Would I be correct? I think the Oracle manual says that " must be used.
After some Web research I eventually amended my control file to as follows:
load data
infile 'h:\insert_statements\22_insert_into_SCAN_FILE_INFO.txt'
REPLACE
into table SCAN_FILE_INFO
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '^'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(scan_id, scan_filename
file_format_id
orig_scanning_resolution_dpi
scanner_id, scanner_operator_id
scanning_date "TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')"
original_map_publication_id
reprint_publication_id)
A simple line of data is as follow:
280001, ^1910 - London^, 270001, 400, 250001, 260001, "TO_DATE('2007-06-06', 'YYYY-MM-DD')", 200019,
The final column being null.
However when I attempt that I get the following error message:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table SCAN_FILE_INFO, column SCANNING_DATE.
ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0
If I change the scanning_date part to:
scanning_date "EXPRESSION TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
or
scanning_date "CONSTANT TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
I get the error message:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table SCAN_FILE_INFO, column SCANNING_DATE.
ORA-00917: missing comma
As soon as I do the following:
scanning_date "EXPRESSION, TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
or
scanning_date "CONSTANT, TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
I get too many values error message:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table SCAN_FILE_INFO.
ORA-00913: too many values
I also tested out scanning_date DATE "YYYY-MM-DD", but that just gave the same ORA-01841 error message as above.
I must be doing something very simple which is wrong but I cannot figure it out.
Kind regards
Tim

And why do you have scanning date as "TO_DATE('2007-06-06', 'YYYY-MM-DD')" in your infile? All you need is 2007-06-06. If you can not change infile generation code, use:
load data
infile 'h:\insert_statements\22_insert_into_SCAN_FILE_INFO.txt'
REPLACE
into table SCAN_FILE_INFO
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '^'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(scan_id, scan_filename
file_format_id
orig_scanning_resolution_dpi
scanner_id, scanner_operator_id
scanning_date "TO_DATE(REPLACE(REPLACE(:scanning_date,'TO_DATE('),'''YYYY-MM-DD'')'), 'YYYY-MM-DD')"
original_map_publication_id
reprint_publication_id)SY.

Can we change the system date using Sql

can we change the system date using Sql statement..
can anyone help
Tariq.

There is an initialization parameter called FIXED_DATE which lets you set a fixed sysdate for testing purposes, and you can alter that date using the ALTER SYSTEM command, but as implied by the name you are setting a data/time that doesn't change. Since the normal sysdate is derived from the O/S it cannot be altered through SQL

Export/Import data in SQL Express 2014

Hello,
I have SQL Server 2008 on the network server and 'central' DB. To workaround cases when the network is down I decided to implement 'local' design on all clients. Actually I have 5 clients. I installed SQL Express 2014 on each client and created exact as
'central' empty database on each client.
Now during network outage I'm able to continue collect data and populate it in each of 5 db's.
When the network is up again I have to copy/move collected data from each client to 'central' db. Unfortunately 'central' and 'local' db's are on the different network and can't see each other hence I have to somehow export package from each 'local'
db and then import it into 'central'.
The problem that I hit is that in SQL Express there's not an option to save package i.e. it allow only immediate export which would not work for me.
Do you have an idea how to handle this situation?
Thanks
EV

Hi,
I agree with Ronen and Scott. You can use SQL Server Replication to
copy the data.
Replication is a set of technologies for copying and distributing data and database objects from one database to another and then synchronizing between databases to maintain consistency. Using replication, you can distribute data to different
locations and to remote or mobile users over local and wide area networks, dial-up connections, wireless connections, and the Internet.
Replication processing resumes at the point at which it left off if a connection is dropped.
Please check out the following links for more information about SQL Server Replication:

Error when extracting data using DB Connect from an Oracle database

Hi All,
We are on BI 3.5 and loading data from a non-SAP (Oracle 10g) database using DB Connect.
I received the following error messages when trying to perform "Check DataSource" using the DB Connect setup in RSA1.
Event with errors RSDL_META_UPLOAD in DataSource
Message no. R8287
Warning Messages;
Message no. RSDL053
Field name ReceiptID contains non-alpha-numeric characters

etc...
Views are created under the owner's user name. I have checked with DB personnel and they confirm that all the authorization and security access privileges have been correctly granted to the views.
We are also able to extract the data by running a sql query statement from the views using SQL Plus
Currently we also have a similar extraction process set up with an Oracle 9 database, which extracts the information without any issues.
Thanks,

Hi Mr Loh.
I know that this thread has over a year ago but i was looking for something similar for over 2 weeks ago and i ialways found this thread...I want to share my experience even that maybe you already found the same solution or something similar (i saw that you check your own post as answered):
I made a similar connection from BI 7 SP 18, but in my case was to a Microsoft SQL database 2005. When i "check the datasource" i receive like almost 150 warnings and 1 error and all the warnings and errors are the same ones as you describe above. What i did is create a custom view in the MSSQL database and convert all the column names to uppercase and the column names i limited to 16 characters at most. after doing that all the warnings and the error described disappear and i can view the database content when you made click in the "view content table" button.
I hope that this will help somebody and best regards

Syntax Error when using SQL Expression

Morning all,
When I try to type any SQL Expression within Crystal I am getting syntax errors, even when I type only SELECT {field name} FROM {table name}.
Here is the query I did which gave me the following error:
Query
SELECT order_progress . date_created
FROM order_progress
WHERE order_progress . order_no = order_header . order_no
AND order_progress . order_status =77
ORDER BY order_progress . date_created DESC
Error
Error in compiliing SQL Expression

Now this means, 1: I am getting a connection error with my db, for no apperent reason. 2: my syntax is not approved?!
Can someone explain why is this happening and how to resolve this?
many thanks

Morning Kyle,
Thanks for the informative answer, I have found out the formula which counts number of days however, I am not sure what you meant by the following:
>
Kyle McAdam wrote:

Done this, it counts the working days as in weekdays and takes bank holidays out as well
here is the formula:
WhileReadingRecords;
//{order_progress.order_status}= 77;
//{order_header.order_status}>=77;
Local DateVar Start := {order_header.date_entered}; // Starting Date
Local DateVar End := {order_header.act_despatch}; // Ending Date
Local NumberVar Weeks;
Local NumberVar Days;
Local Numbervar Hol;
DateVar Array Holidays;
Weeks:= (Truncate (End - dayofWeek(End) + 1
- (Start - dayofWeek(Start) + 1)) /7 ) * 5;
Days := DayOfWeek(End) - DayOfWeek(Start) + 1 +
(if DayOfWeek(Start) = 1 then -1 else 0) +
(if DayOfWeek(End) = 7 then -1 else 0);
Local NumberVar i;
For i := 1 to Count (Holidays)
do (if DayOfWeek ( Holidays<i>) in 2 to 6 and
Holidays<i> in start to end then Hol:=Hol+1 );
Weeks + Days - Hol;
You will then have a formula field that is evaluated to 1, if the status is 77.
you mean second formula? How I used,
If Order_header.Order_Status=77 then
1
else
2;
however this doesn't seem to be working.
> Now, sum that formula in each group footer. Suppress the detail lines...
which formula to sum up?
> **Don't use a cross tab with this solution. For a cross tab, you would have to calculate the totals in a different manner.
so far I used Cross tab and it is showing the right days, however not showing the correct jobs per day.
You might be right there that it calculates the totals differently, additionally how am I suppose to get the right Percentage if using the Cross tab. The percentage should be, count of number of jobs % Total jobs.
hence:
{#NumofJobs} % {#Total_Jobs}
however, when I create this formula it does not let me add that into the cross tab.
I also need to put a subreport in my report, can I use Crosstab to contain a link to my subreport?
Many thanks

Error while extracting data using function module

Hello,
I created one generic datasource and i want to extract data with the option "Extraction by Function Module".
But when i specified function module name and was trying to save, it thrown a error message saying
'The specified table does not exist'.
What could be the reason?
Please help me out.
Thanks,
Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Once you execute T.Code RSO2, you need to fill in the details and click Create, specify the Appl. Component and in Extraction by Function Module, give Function Module name and Extrct Structure in the given boxes.
"This structure is used by a DataSource that was created using the transaction RSO2 (generic extraction) and selects data using a function module.
The data must be transferred from this function module to an interface table E_T_DATA."
I'll try to comeup with small piece of code to sort your issue.
Hope it helps!!!!

While extracting data, if there is any negative value for the key figure, negative sign is appending on the right side of the value(Eg: "123.67-"), which is the standard behaviour but I want the sign to be on the left side of the value (Eg: "-123.67") while extracting to the file at application server.
Could any one please let me know if there is any setting to do this change ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Changing the SIGN position from one side of the NUMBER to the other side can happen in following ways.
1) After the file is place in the application server. Deploy a OS SCRIPT file (for .csv) for obtaining the required changes to the required COLUMN [Basis team will have more idea on this]
2)This is time consuming idea. well deploy a routine at the Open hub -Infospoke level.
