Formatting output from a select statement?

Hi: a trivial question.
When I run a select on four fields, it prints the first field in one line and the rest in the second line.
TYPE
PROTO CLASS_ID DSTPORT
BUILT_INBOUND_UDP
     17    50007      53
Is there a any variable I can configure so that all four fields are printed in the same line?
TYPE              PROTO CLASS_ID DSTPORT
BUILT_INBOUND_UDP 17    50007      53Thanks
Ray

How to pass output from one selection-as input to another selectiion??

From a user prompt will iniate many user table selections.   And the outputs of each table selection will be used as inputs for the next table selection
I reviewed variable Scope and inner and outer Declare—it would be a great help if some one could give me a example of the right approach??

Hi,
Sorry, it's unclear what you want to do.
Whenever you have a problem, it helps to be as specific as you can.
Post a little sampel data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and the results you want from that data. Since your problem involves parameters, give a couple of sets of parameters, and the results you want for each set, given the same data.
Are you saying that, after the user enters one set of parameters, you will need to run a variation of this query:
SELECT a.assembly_item_id, a.organization_id, a.bill_sequence_id, b.bom_item_type, b.bill_sequence_id, b.component_item_id
FROM    bom_structures_b a, bom_components_b b
WHERE   a.assembly_item_id = '303'
AND
        a.organization_id = '207'
AND
        b.bill_sequence_id = a.bill_sequence_id
AND
        b.bom_item_type = '4';several times? What will be different each time? Will the hard-coded strings in the WHERE clause ('303', '207' and '4') be values from the earlier query?
Do you really want to run this query several times, or would you rather run one query, and have it produce results for all the relevant values? (That would probably be eaisest and less error-prone). When you post your desired results, post what you would most like to see. If something else is acceptable, describe it.
You can write SQL*Plus scripts to use parameters (substitution variables.
For example, you can write a query that says:
WHERE   a.assembly_item_id     = '&1'
AND     a.organization_id      = '&2'
AND     b.bill_sequence_id      = a.bill_sequence_id
AND     b.bom_item_type      = '&3';and call it like this
@Section_03A_bom_structures_b 303 207 4You can have a query output several such rows (for example:
@Section_03A_bom_structures_b 303 207 4
@Section_03A_bom_structures_b 304 298 3
@Section_03A_bom_structures_b 306 99   4), send all of that output to a SPOOL file, and then execute the SPOOL file.

Count the number of rows resulting from a select statement

Hi,
Is there any way of counting the number of rows resulting from a select statement. i.e I have a select distinct statement and I then want to perform an IF statement on the number of rows resulting from the select statement.
Any help appreciated
Thanks
Gary

Declare
var1 number;
Begin
select count(distinct column_name) into
var1 from table_name;
If var1 > x Then
End IF;
End;
Hope I understood the problem correctly

How to pass an array to a function from a SELECT statement

Hi all. I have a problem with passing an array to a function directly from a SELECT statement.
Here is what I want. If I have a function
function AAA(arrayVar <ArrayType>) return number;
I want to be able to call this function this way
select AAA((2,3,4))
from dual
or this way
select AAA((10,12))
from dual
In other words I want to be able to pass an arbitrary number of numbers to the function. And I want this to work in a SELECT statement.
Does anyone have any ideas how to implement this? What <ArrayType> should I use?(I've read about VARRAY, nested tables in the Oracle documentation but as far as I've understood these array types are meant to be used within PL/SQL blocks).
I found only this http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:208012348074 through Google but it didn't help me.
Thank you in advance.

> What <ArrayType> should I use?
SQL data types - as 3360 showed above. You cannot use PL/SQL structures and user types in the SQL Engine.
You can however use all SQL structures and types in PL/SQL.
Arrays in SQL is created as collection type - basic o-o. The collection type (or class) serve as a container for instantiated objects or scalar type.

How to get XML format output from Hyperion Financial Reporting

Dears,
We are using Hyperion Financial Reporting to replace FSG in fusion. I found that Hyperion FR report can be exported to html/excel/pdf format. However, I would like the report to export to xml format.It means I only need the xml data source.
Anyone who knows how to get the xml format output from Hyperion FR, is there any avaiable API?

I think if you export the report, you will be able to open the .des file in Notepad/Wordpad and see xml content.

Rerieve Duplicate Rows from a SELECT statement

Hi, I want to see all the duplicate rows from my SELECT statement. Looks like Oracle by default suppresses the duplicate rows. Here is my SQL statement.
I like to see all the 5 rows. Please help.
select a.partid, a.pdesc
from product a
where a.partid in ('10-30000-4',
'10-30000-4',
'10-30000-4',
'10-30000-4',
'10-30000-5')

Looks like Oracle by default suppresses the duplicate rowsSure no, if you have duplicate rows, Oracle will show you the dup rows.
Please, paste your data and the query result.
And this is no because you'll put multiple time the same condition that Oracle will show you multiple time the same row (in case of non-duplicate).

Function output in a select statement

I have written a function(get_cols) which returns the following string (this string is created dynamically from the fuctions depending on the rows of the tables)
the output of the function is;
MAX (CASE WHEN field_code = 'test_pho' THEN VALUE END ) AS test_pho
,MAX (CASE WHEN field_code = 'ESN' THEN VALUE END ) AS ESN
,MAX (CASE WHEN field_code = 'IMSI' THEN VALUE END ) AS IMSI
,MAX (CASE WHEN field_code = 'PHONE_NO' THEN VALUE END ) AS PHONE_NO
What I need to do is to use this as it is in a another select statement like;
(1)
select
empno,
MAX (CASE WHEN field_code = 'test_pho' THEN VALUE END ) AS test_pho
,MAX (CASE WHEN field_code = 'ESN' THEN VALUE END ) AS ESN
,MAX (CASE WHEN field_code = 'IMSI' THEN VALUE END ) AS IMSI
,MAX (CASE WHEN field_code = 'PHONE_NO' THEN VALUE END ) AS PHONE_NO
from my_employee e, my_columns c
where e.emp_no = c.emp_no
and c.emp_no = '100003'
group by empno
function returns the correct output, but when i call the function in the select like below it get it as a whole string and doesn't give the correct output
(2)
select empno, get_cols('100003')
from my_employee e, my_columns c
where e.emp_no = c.emp_no
and c.emp_no = '100003'
how can i get the output of the function to the select as separate line as shown is above(1)
When I get the above output separately and give in the select as above (1) it gives the correct output I want ??
any help please

Hi BluShadow,
Your solution seem interesting. Can you explain how can this be used to produce the required output ? Do we need to maintain a separate my_columns table ?Not quite sure what you are asking?
As with any query, the output columns have to be defined at design time, you cannot have the number of columns dynamically generated based on the data. So, if you said you wanted to pivot data from rows to columns and the number of possible values in those rows could change, you cannot pivot those to columns unless you are expecting those values or have allowed for maximum number of values.
Basic example... Let say we have the following data:
SQL> select * from dept;

        30 SALES          CHICAGO
        40 OPERATIONS     BOSTONAnd we want to pivot that data to put the departments as columns rather than rows. We can simply do something like:

SQL>So, now there is a single function that acts like a table and does the functionality of pivoting the data. What the function actually does to generate the data is entirely up to you whether that is obtaining data from different tables or some PL/SQL code processing to perform some complex algorithmic type thing on the data from a passed in parameter etc. The point of the pipeline function is that it can return multiple columns of data and act as if it is a table that can be queried against, however it still remains that the output columns must be known at design time. This is actually a requirement of the SQL engine, as you cannot make a dynamic function that returns X number of columns based on data.
There is however a technique that can allow you to dynamically generate a number of columns based on data, but it involves getting a little more under the hood of Oracle and interfacing with the ODCI interface, actually using a pipelined funcion technique in conjunction with, in laymans terms, stepping in at the point the query is executing and telling oracle what columns this pipelined function is going to return, but at the same time as defining the returned columns.
An example of doing this is given by AScheffer on this thread: How to pipeline a function with a dynamic number of columns?
... but you really are getting into a complex world if you try and write your queries this way, just to try and make generic queries with dynamic columns.
In essence, the actual business need to actually return a dynamic number of columns is very slim as most applications, whether that is a user facing interface or report generator etc. will be expecting certain data columns to be returned to expected columns or fields within them. If you really want to dynamically pivot data with an unknown number of columns it is usually best to let things like reporting tools deal with this area as that is what they are best at, and don't try and do it within SQL.

How to processing the results from the select statement in SQL query?

Hi
This might be too simple, but my knowledge of the SQL is very limited...
I have table where I do have details from calls (Lync QoE).
I can take all calls from the table, but I would like to count the concurrent calls on the table. This is how I got it work on the Excel to work (but I would like to do that on the SQL statement to get it more dynamic use):
Table have these line and this is what I get out from the Select):
[callid],[start],[end]
1ABC,1.1.2014 01:00:15, 1.1.2014 01:01:00
5DEF,1.1.2014 01:00:45, 1.1.2014 01:05:00
FDE2,1.1.2014 01:03:15, 1.1.2014 01:04:00
KDJ8,1.1.2014 01:04:15, 1.1.2014 01:06:00
FDJ8,2.1.2014 01:04:15, 2.1.2014 01:06:00
KDSE,3.1.2014 01:04:15, 3.1.2014 01:06:00
The information I would like to get, is what is the maximum amount of the concurrent calls per day.
On the excel I basically count line by line how many concurrent calls each line have had, and then pickup the highest one. On above example the calls 5DEF, FDE2 and FDE2 have been active at the same time which gives 3 for the first day.
The table is ordered by the start. So let say the code is on the third line (FDE2). I need to count calls from before which end time is after the start time (of FDE2), but also I need to count calls after (FDE2) which are started before the current
call has ended.

Querying many tables at once from a select statement for specific values

Hi all,
I'm very new to PL/SQL and have a daunting task ahead of me. I'm pretty sure our database normalization scheme is all out of whack, which I dont have the experience to fix yet, but this is the task ahead of me without getting to change or fix our structure:
in the universe has 1000+ tables.
need--> Some of those tables have fields that contain a value that has to be changed.
The only thing I have to go on is the column name will contain 'EMP'... but there is no specific naming convention for the column names.
When I search on:
select * from all_tab_columns where column_name like UPPER('%EMP%')
It returns 750 rows. (So 750 rows = 750 columns in 500 different tables (some tables have 2 or more columns in it))
tables names are random (table1, table2, etc).
columns names are random with EMP in it (column1,column2,etc).
I have 75 possible field values that I need to check each of those 750 columns for.
Maybe this is too messy, but I'm looking at subqueries, joins, arrays, cursors, etc, anything to minimize the amount of work I have to do.
I think this is too much to do a join with, but that seems to be what all the documentation is pointing me to.
can you point me to a simple example of what i could
write?
the logic i see it would be
run the select statement to grab the column names that meet EMP.
one at a time, search each column in the corresponding table for the 75 values.
return the results of rows for each column/table that meet one of the 75 unique values.
I'll have to also update each of the 75 values to (used to be values 1, 2, 3 ... to new values X1, X2, X3, etc.)
Any help at all would be very helpful,
aspiring pl/sql programmer but having a rough time of it

I think you're looking to do something like the following pseudocode:
BEGIN
    FOR tblrec IN (SELECT table_name, column_name
                     FROM all_tab_columns
                    WHERE column_name LIKE '%EMP%')
    LOOP
        FOR rec IN (SELECT ROWID
                      FROM tblrec.table_name
                     WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(tblrec.column_name, '(expr1|expr2|...)')
        LOOP
            DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(
                'Found expression on ROWID ' || rec.rowid
                || ' in column ' || tblrec.column_name
                || ' on table ' || tblrec.table_name);
        END LOOP;
    END LOOP;
END;

Fetching a value from a select statement inside select clause

hello all,
I have a problem executing a procedure it gives me a runtime error, what am doing is i have multiple select statement inside a select clause. am using the entire select statement for a ref cursor. when running the query seperately am able to get the records but it's not getting compiled.
here is the piece of code which am working with
create or replace procedure cosd_telecommute_procedure
(p_from_date in date,
p_to_date in date,
p_rset in out sys_refcursor)
as
p_str varchar2(10000);
begin
p_str := 'select personnum, '||
'fullname, '||
               'personid, '||
     'hours, '||
     'applydtm, '||
'paycodeid, '||
     'laborlev2nm, '||
     'laborlev3nm, '||
     'laborlev2dsc, '||

Did you run the query in SQL plus? Check whether all the column are valid in your database. Below is the query which i got from your procedure just run and check it out. It is really hard for us to tell you the problem without knowing the table structure
select personnum, fullname, personid, hours, applydtm, paycodeid, laborlev2nm, laborlev3nm,
laborlev2dsc, adjdate, timeshtitemtypeid,
(select max(eff_dt) from cosd_telecommute_info_tbl
where emplid = cosd_vp_telecommute.personnum
and eff_dt between '01-aug-2005' and '30-aug-2005') thisyreffdt,
(select elig_config7 from cosd_telecommute_info_tbl where emplid = cosd_vp_telecommute.personnum
and eff_dt = (select max(eff_dt)
                from cosd_telecommute_info_tbl
                where emplid = cosd_vp_telecommute.personnum
                and eff_dt between '01-aug-2005' and '30-aug-2005'
   ) thisyrmiles,
(select max(eff_dt)
   from cosd_telecommute_info_tbl
   where emplid = cosd_vp_telecommute.personnum
   and eff_dt between trunc(p_from_date) and trunc(p_to_date)
   ) fiscalyreffdt,
   (select elig_config7 from cosd_telecommute_info_tbl where emplid = cosd_vp_telecommute.personnum
   and eff_dt = (select max(eff_dt)
                 from cosd_telecommute_info_tbl
                 where emplid = cosd_vp_telecommute.personnum
                 and eff_dt between trunc(p_from_date) and trunc(p_to_date)

How can I call a Page Process from the Select statement for Report Page

I'm able to call a javascript using the below:
img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#add2.gif" border="0" alt="Icon 4" onClick="javascript:add_connect1('||CPORT.ID||')"
But Now,
I'd like to accomplish (2) New things:
1. instead of using,....... onClick="javascript:add_connect1,
I'd like to call a Page Process, onClick=
2. I'd like to be able to call two different processes onClick.
a. onClick="javascript:passBack('||ID||')"
b. onClick= <Please see my question #1 above>
Can someone please help me with the syntax for this,
If indeed it can even be done?
Thanks- Gary

Greg.
It seems that my situation is the one you describe in you second paragraph, where you mention:
you could then add the ID column value as a parameter to the javascript functionBut,
I do not know how to reference the variable in my javascript nor how to use it in my on-demand process.
If you can hellp me past this last little bump, then I think I will be able to use these skills in Sooo many different areas of my design.
Here's what I've got so far:
A. In the select statement I identify the javascript as:
onClick="javascript:connect_port('<font color=blue>''||ID||''</font>')";
B. In my javascript I have this:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function connect_port(ID)
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=CONNECT_PORT',0);
gReturn = get.get();
get = null;
</script>
C. In my on demand function I have this:
BEGIN
INSERT INTO CCONNECTIONS_B
BLDG_ID,CLST_ID,PORT_ID,STRAND_ID
) VALUES
:P2004_BLDG_ID,:P2004_CLST_ID,:P2004_PORT_ID,:P2004_STRAND_ID1
END;
You can see that I dont know how to use the value for 'ID' in either the javascript or the On-Process function.
If you can help me out with this one, Then I can imitate it for the rest.

Output count of SELECT statement is diff from count(*) of the same query

Has this ever happened to you?
I was wondering why some of the items were not appearing in my output. I have this select query:
    SELECT
        bukrs
        gjahr
        hkont
        belnr
        wrbtr
        dmbtr
        matnr
        bschl
        kunnr
        vbeln
        shkzg
    FROM bseg
    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE i_output
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_bkpf
    WHERE
        bukrs EQ i_bkpf-bukrs
        AND belnr EQ i_bkpf-belnr
        AND gjahr EQ i_bkpf-gjahr
        AND hkont IN hkont
        AND hkont IN
            ('0004000000',
            '0004000010',
            '0004000020',
            '0004000030',
            '0004000040')
When I tried to put sample filters (bukrs: 1000; belnr 1800000016; gjahr: 2005; hkont: 4000000), I am getting 3 entries from bseg. But when I tried using SE16 or SE16N, I am getting 6 (which is the expected output). When I modify the same SELECT query to return just the output count, I AM getting 6.
    SELECT count(*)
    FROM bseg
    INTO count
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_bkpf
    WHERE
        bukrs EQ i_bkpf-bukrs
        AND belnr EQ i_bkpf-belnr
        AND gjahr EQ i_bkpf-gjahr
        AND hkont IN hkont
        AND hkont IN
            ('0004000000',
            '0004000010',
            '0004000020',
            '0004000030',
            '0004000040')
Do you have any idea why this happens? My internal table is a standard table with no header line and no OCCURS statement.
Kyle

Hello Kyle,
Thats because when using FOR ALL ENTRIES, it will delete the duplicates if the records selected dont have all the primary keys specified in the select query. In your first select query, the field BUZEI is missing which makes the records unique. Change your first select query as this and try
SELECT
        bukrs
        gjahr
        hkont
        belnr
        buzei   -------> Add this and check
        wrbtr
        dmbtr
        matnr
        bschl
        kunnr
        vbeln
        shkzg
    FROM bseg
    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE i_output
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_bkpf
    WHERE
        bukrs EQ i_bkpf-bukrs
        AND belnr EQ i_bkpf-belnr
        AND gjahr EQ i_bkpf-gjahr
        AND hkont IN hkont
        AND hkont IN
            ('0004000000',
            '0004000010',
            '0004000020',
            '0004000030',
            '0004000040')

A litttle help formatting output from powershell?

Hi all, I am working on a software inventory project and am (as will become obvious) a novice at powershell. I have the script running so I get what I need, but the formatting is borderline un-useable. I would like to see if anyone can point
me in the direction of creating one or two of the following: a single, collated file of all installed programs on all computers in the OU, filtered for duplicates (ie, only unique entries, not 37 instances of Office 2010 Service Pack 2), and/or an excel worksheet
with a page for each pc in the OU, and the list of installed programs on each page. This is what I have so far:
$rtn = $null
Get-ADComputer -filter '*' -searchbase 'ou=levy chd, dc=doh,dc=ad,dc=state,dc=fl,dc=us'|
ForEach-Object {
$rtn = Test-Connection -CN $_.dnshostname -Count 1 -BufferSize 16 -Quiet
IF($rtn -match 'True') {write-output $_.name | out-file C:\chd38computers_ping=true.csv -Append }
ELSE { write-output $_.name | out-file C:\chd38computers_ping=false.txt -Append }
$computers = Import-Csv "C:\chd38computers_ping=true.csv"
foreach($obj in $computers){
Get-WmiObject -Class win32reg_addremoveprograms | Select DisplayName,Publisher,Version,Installdate | Sort Publisher -Descending| Export-Csv d:\installed_apps.csv -append
Thanks in advance for the help!
adam

To filter out duplicates, you can use the -unique switch for Select here:
Get-WmiObject -Class win32reg_addremoveprograms | Select DisplayName,Publisher,Version,Installdate -unique | Sort Publisher -Descending| Export-Csv d:\installed_apps.csv -append
To manipulate excel file from Powershell you will need to use New-Object -ComObject "Excel.Application". I'd add the result of each computer into an array and then use the ComObject to add the content to a new sheet. You can read more here:

Formatting Output from a procedure

Hi all,
I want to format the output of this procedure
declare
cursor c1 is select tname from tab where tabtype = 'TABLE' ;
tabname varchar2(1000) ;
i number := 1;
rc number ;
str varchar2(1000) ;
begin
open c1 ;
loop
fetch c1 into tabname ;
exit when c1%notfound ;
str := 'select count(*) from ' || tabname ;
execute immediate str into rc ;
dbms_output.put_line(i || ' - ' || tabname || ' -- ' ||rc) ;
i := i + 1 ;
end loop ;
close c1 ;
end ;
The OUTPUT is like this.......
1 - asdf -- 0
2 - asdfsdafasdf -- 16
3 - asdfsaf -- 327
4 - asdfasdfasfsdafsdfs -- 27
5 - asd -- 128562
Now, I want this output should be like this
1 - asdf -- 0
2 - asdfsdafasdf -- 16
3 - asdfsaf -- 327
4 - asdfasdfasfsdafsdfs -- 27
5 - asd -- 128562
Thanks in advance,
Pal

Use [ pre ] and [ /pre ] with no sapce.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/forums/faq.html#q14
But,for your question, using to_char or lpad, you can format.
dbms_output.put_line(i || ' - ' || tabname || ' -- ' ||lpad(rc,20)) ;
-- Oops, I correct as following.
dbms_output.put_line(rpad(i || ' - ' || tabname || ' -- ' ,60)||lpad(rc,20)) ;
