Generate documentation of tables and columns?

Is this possible? the tables has a field called description and so does the columns.
I need to generate a data dictionary.

Here i can execute document on my local sever but when i tried to execute network servers from my work station It is throwing below error
8/28/2006 2:30:17 PM
Executing query to: server = (AHADMD01) ; database = AHAWEEKLY ; Trusted_Connection = yes ;
Error occured. If you think this error is caused by a bug, copy
everthing you see here and send it to [email protected]. If
you can, also attach a SQL script to generate the database that
reproduces this bug, it will help us reproduce the issue. Thanks!

Get description of tables and columns

Good afternoon.
Is there any option in SAP B1 to get a description of table and column dynamically? That is, without the "Tools -> Queries -> Query Generator"?
I am developing an add-on, which lists all the tables and columns of the sap, and I have to bring the descriptions automatically. If you do not have to get the SDK route descriptions, as you suggest doing this?
Edited by: Harley Rodrigues on Feb 1, 2012 9:38 PM

Hi Harley,
Welcome to the Forum!
please refer to your SDK Help. you can find it from this path C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One SDK\Help
also alternatively you can view it from your MS SQL Server Management under Databases

Tables and Columns used in Universe (BO 6.5)

Hi All,
Please help me out with the below queries:
1. Is there any automated way to find out which report is using which universe? (may be through a SQL fired in BO repository)
(Note: As per the BO Documentation, OBJ_X_DOCUMENTS This is the only table in the document domain. It stores the binary content of all documents sent to the repository (through the user actions Publish to corporate documents, Send to users or Send to Broadcast Agent). The document contents are stored as BLOBs (Binary Large Objects) stored in slices.)
2. I need to identify the universes which use certain tables and columns.
I fired the following SQL in BO repository:
SELECT
UNV_UNIVERSE.UNI_FILENAME,
UNV_UNIVERSE.UNI_LONGNAME,
UNV_TABLE.TAB_NAME,
UNV_COLUMNS.COLUMN_NAME
FROM UNV_UNIVERSE, UNV_TABLE,UNV_COLUMNS
WHERE
UNV_UNIVERSE.UNIVERSE_ID = UNV_TABLE.UNIVERSE_ID
AND UNV_TABLE.TABLE_ID = UNV_COLUMNS.TABLE_ID
But as 'UNV_COLUMNS' table is empty, no data is returned. My question is is this table supposed to be empty in BO repository?
Is there any other way to find out this (identify the universes which use certain tables and columns)?
Many Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

Capture DB Table and column comments when creating new Business Area/Folder

Does anyone know if it is possible to pull the DB table and column comments into Discoverer when creating new Business Area/Folders? Our developers take the time to put the information in the Db data dictionary and we would like to leverage it (reduce need for manually adding descriptions) ... has anyone done this?
If there isn't a way to automatically do it, would there be any harm in using a sql script to populate the description fields from the DB data dictionary directly into the EUL tables appropriate?
I have been searching through documentation and forums for information - with no luck at this point.
Thanks!

Hi Seymour
You can add column comments to views as well, as this example will show:
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW MY_SEQUENCE
(SEQ_ID, SEQ_NAME, SEQ_NEXTVAL)
AS
SELECT "SEQ_ID","SEQ_NAME","SEQ_NEXTVAL" FROM EUL5_SEQUENCES;
COMMENT ON COLUMN MY_SEQUENCE.SEQ_NAME IS 'The sequence';
So you could add the comments at the view level and then refresh Discoverer.
Best wishes

Can we hide the tables and columns from subject areas in the front end

Hi,
Is there any way to hide the tables and columns from the subject area in front end.I need to create a report with some tables which the user does not want to see.So after creating the reprot can I hide those tables and columns in the front end

Hi,
Your question is not that clear to me...do you want to hide the entire table/column that dont want to show up in the front end then you could do in Presneation Layer in the RPD by going Permissions in the property of that object.
But if you want to hide the column in the report that can be visible in the subject Area: go to column properties -> Column fomat...thereis Hide option.
Can you please elaborate your question...what exactly you are looking for...

Using of already existing logical tables and columns in a new subject area.

Hi Every one,
i am new to OBIEE technology.
In my project i need to create a new subject area for already existing RPD.
In that RPD there are some logical tables and column created for previous project and i need to use those in this new subject area that i am going to create.
My question is what is the best way to use them .
I mean just to drag and drop them into new subject area or any other way.
please have your valuable suggestions
thanking you

Yes, you can basically copy paste all the tables that you need from BMM layer into your new folder in the presentation layer. Just make sure all the joins are defined well between all the tables that exists in the new folder, so you wont end up running into ODBC errors when you run analysis.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Retrieve tables and column names in a universe

Hi - Is there a way to retrieve tables and columns used in a given universe? We have to do analysis and need to know the tables as well as fields used anywhere in any object defined in the universe.
I tried Query Builder and did some selection on ci_infoobjects and ci_appobjects; they don't seem to have that kind of information.
Please advise.
Thanks

Sql query parsing (retrieve tables and columns used in query)

Hi,
1. Is there any view in Oracle which can tell me, which tables and columns were used in the last ran query, no matter how complex the query is.
2. Secondly I can get table names, used in stored procedures and views, using USER_DEPENDENCIES VIEW, however this System View does not return column names, used in that procedure / view, any idea please .
Thanks and Regards,
Luqman

2. Secondly I can get table names, used in stored procedures and views, using USER_DEPENDENCIES VIEW, however this System View does not return column names, used in that procedure / view, any idea please .Oracle added fine grained dependency tracking in 11g, but didn't expose any views to query this information. However, it has been reverse engineered a bit: About Oracle: DBA_DEPENDENCY_COLUMNS

Help with adding a table and column which are strings to a database

I want to add a column and table into a database.
I want to do this both for the Table and Column.
I want (Data) and Test to be replaced with my strings.
String MyData = "My column"; // This will change at times.
String MyData2 = "My table";
String sql = "Insert into Test (Data) Values (?)";
How can I change (Data) and Test to add variables "MyData" and "MyData2".
Thanks.

Including table and column comment in the Data Modeler

Hi all,
I used Oracle's SQL Developer Data Modeler (Version 3.0.0.665) and created a data model for my project. I e-mailed a PDF format of the data model to our Systems Analyst. She asked if I could re-create the data model and include table and column comments. Is this a possibility and if so how is this done?
Thank you for your input,
Seyed

Hi Kent,
Using the information you provided and Oracle’s Working with SQL Developer Modeler Reporting I did the following:
1) Created a Reporting Schema User
1.1) Using my Oracle 10g Personal Edition, I created a new user and gave him DBA administrative privileges
2) Exported Relational Design to Reporting Schema
2.1) Opened the Relational Design
2.2) Exported it to the Reporting Schema. Note, I never got a message ‘Design has been exported successfully’.
3) Reviewed the Report Results
I think exporting the relational design was not successful, and didn’t get any error messages. Had step 2 completed successfully, I would have reviewed the Report Results in SQL Developer. By the way, I know I have marked this topic as closed, but would like to learn your method too.
Thank you for your help,
Seyed

Parse SQL query and extract source tables and columns

Hello,
I have a set of SQL queries and I have to extract the source tables and columns from them.
For example:
Let's imagine that we have two tables
CREATE TABLE T1 (col1 number, col2 number, col3 number)
CREATE TABLE T2 (col1 number, col2 number, col3 number)
We have the following query:
SELECT
T1.col1,
T1.col2 + T1.col3 as field2
FROM T1 INNER JOIN T2 ON T1.col2=T2.col2
WHERE T2.col1 = 1
So, as a result I would like to have:
Order Table Column
1 T1 col1
2 T1 col2
2 T1 col3
Optionally, I would like to have a list of all dependency columns (columns used in "ON", "WHERE" and "GROUP BY" clauses:
Table Column
T1 col2

I have a set of SQL queries and I have to extract the source tables and columns from them. In a recent db version you can use Re: sql injection question for this.

The new table and Columns to look for in picking headers, etc

Hi,
What are the new tables and columns to look for mapping the following old ones:
1) Pick_Slip_Number from So_Picking_Headers,
2) Sequence_Number from SO_Picking_lines
3) Line_ID from So_Note_References
Thanks and Regards,
Praveen

Actually, we are working on that same analysis. If you receive any responses, please forward to myself as well.

SQL text parsing to obtains referenced tables and columns

I wonder if anyone has a method of scanning an SQL statement to retrieve tables and columns referenced. EG:
select
f.cola, f.colb, f.colc, b.cold
from
foo f, bar b
where
f.cola=b.cola and f.colb=b.colb
order by f.colz, b.colawould provide
Tables
foo
bar
Columns
foo.cola [SELECT] [WHERE]
foo.colb [SELECT] [WHERE]
foo.colc [SELECT]
foo.colz [ORDER BY]
bar.cola [WHERE] [ORDER BY]
bar.colb [WHERE]
bar.cold [SELECT]The reason is that I'd like to query through several SQL scripts and validate tables and columns in a new version of the ERP system exist

That query with date substitution should also work. Are you seeing some errors?
SQL> explain plan for select * from scott.emp where hiredate = to_date(':some_date', 'dd-mon-yyyy') ;
Explained.
SQL> @utlxpls
