hi DanielB,
i created an item and written the query "select count(NAME) from STUDENT where VALUE>0" in default value section, but it is showing the whole text as it is instead of query's result.
I have also made that item hidden.
Any suggestion would be really appreciable.

Ssrs expression to sql query

Hi,
I am unable to convert the below ssrs expression to sql query. can you guys help.
-- IIF(Parameters!parameter1.Value Is Nothing,
-- " 3>2 ",
-- "column1 NOT LIKE
-- Replace(IIF(Left(Parameters!parameter1.Value, 1) = "'",
-- Parameters!parameter1.Value,
-- "'" & Replace(Parameters!parameter1.Value, "'", "''") "'"),
Thanks.

Thank you for your response Carnegie,
I actually have two stored procedures as below. (columns and joined tables are excluded)
I need to change the dates of @DateFrom and @DateTo parameter, I am passing @DateFrom_FD and @DateTo_LD as well.
CREATE ROCEDURE [dbo].[Test]
(@DateFrom
SMALLDATETIME
, @DateTo
SMALLDATETIME
, @program
VARCHAR(MAX))
AS
DECLARE
@DateFrom_FD
SMALLDATETIME
, @DateTo_LD
SMALLDATETIME
SET @DateFrom_FD = DATEADD(MONTH,DATEDIFF(MONTH,0,@DateFrom),0)
SET @DateTo_LD = DATEADD(DAY,-1,DATEADD(MONTH,DATEDIFF(MONTH,0,@DateTo)+1,0))
SELECT
DimDate.[Year]
, DimDate.[Month]
, DimDate.PK_Date
, CustomerID
FROM DimDate
WHERE DimDate.PK_Date BETWEEN @DateFrom_FD AND @DateTo_LD
Now I am using one of the SP as a main report and the other SP as a subreport.
In order to configure the main report and the subreport, I believe that I need to link them with parameters.
However, in the parameters of subreport properties, the option given are only @DateFrom and @DateTo.
No @DateFrom_FD AND @DateTo_LD
Therefore, I am thinking to use expressions to convert @DateFrom and @DateTo the same way I did in SQL.
I am not sure if this works....but this is the only thing that I could think of.
Thank you,

Issue in creation of group in oim database through sql query.

hi guys,
i am trying to create a group in oim database through sql query:
insert into ugp(ugp_key,ugp_name,ugp_create,ugp_update,ugp_createby,ugp_updateby,)values(786,'dbrole','09-jul-12','09-jul-12',1,1);
it is inserting the group in ugp table but it is not showing in admin console.
After that i also tried with this query:
insert into gpp(ugp_key,gpp_ugp_key,gpp_write,gpp_delete,gpp_create,gpp_createby,gpp_update,gpp_updateby)values(786,1,1,1,'09-jul-12',1,'09-jul-12',1);
After that i tried with this query.but still no use.
and i also tried to assign a user to the group through query:
insert into usg(ugp_key,usr_key,usg_priority,usg_create,usg_update,usg_createby,usg_updateby)values(4,81,1,'09-jul-12','09-jul-12',1,1);
But still the same problem.it is inserting in db.but not listing in admin console.
thanks,

hi vladimir,

It is a sequence.
See here for details on oracle sequences:
http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/sequences.php
Most of the OIM database schema is created with the following script, located in the RCU distribution:
$RCU_HOME/rcu/integration/oim/sql/xell.sql
there you'll find plenty of sequence creation directives like:
create sequence UGP_SEQ
increment by 1
start with 1
cache 20
to create a sequence, and
INSERT INTO UGP (UGP_KEY, UGP_NAME, UGP_UPDATEBY, UGP_UPDATE, UGP_CREATEBY, UGP_CREATE,UGP_ROWVER, UGP_DATA_LEVEL, UGP_ROLE_CATEGORY_KEY, UGP_ROLE_OWNER_KEY, UGP_DISPLAY_NAME, UGP_ROLENAME, UGP_DESCRIPTION, UGP_NAMESPACE)
VALUES (ugp_seq.nextval,'SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS', sysadmUsrKey , SYSDATE,sysadmUsrKey , SYSDATE, hextoraw('0000000000000000'), 1, roleCategoryKey, sysadmUsrKey, 'SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS', 'SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS', 'System Administrator role for OIM', 'Default');
as a sequence usage example.

How can I show all the results returned by a sql query?

Hi guys,
I need your help.
Let's say I have one table: TableA. Fields of TableA are aleg, anon, apes. The following sentence can return, in general, several rows: select anon from TableA where aleg = somevalue. I'd like to show the result of column anon but no luck. If I try to show the results in a TextArea and the origin is an sql query only shows the first row value. I tried Show as: show as text (based in PLSQL) and coding an anonymous plsql block as
DECLARE
v_anon TableA.anon%TYPE;
CURSOR v_cur IS
select anon from TableA where aleg = somevalue;
BEGIN
OPEN v_cur;
LOOP
FETCH v_cur INTO v_anon;
EXIT WHEN v_cur%NOTFOUND;
:FIELD_IN_FORM := v_anon;
END LOOP;
CLOSE v_cur;
END;
but in this case it's not shown any result.
So the first question is what kind of field should I use to show the result. And the second one is what can I do to being able to show all the results returned by the query (provided that is more than one single row).
regards

Hi Denes,
Just starting with apex. I think I know how to show the results in a report region. I've simplified the posted question.
A more detailed question would be: Suppose you have a region where you have put several text areas to accommodate the result of a multi-column query (lets say for TableA) that only returns one row, each column value returned put in a different text area. Also you want to show the values of other fields in TableB that depends on some value just retrieved from TableA and that you want all values retrieved (from TableA and the linked TableB) to be show in the same region. Is that possible? If yes, how?
Thank you in advance

Help Required -- Can we use SQL Query to READ data from SAP MDM Tables

Hi All,
Please help.........
Can we use SQL Query to READ(No Creation/Updation/Deletion just Read) Data from SAP MDM tables directly, without using MDM Syndicator.
Or direct SQL access to SAP MDM tables is not possible. Only through MDM Syndicator can we export data.
Thanks in Advance
Regards

All the tables you create in Repository comes under A2i_CM_Tables in Database named as your repository name. So the tables names are fields of table A2i_CM_Tables. Now i tried it but cant make it.
Now, I dont think its possible to extract all fields in tables and there values using select query. May be pure sql guy can do that or not.
But there is no relation of data extraction and syndicator. Data is viewed in Data Manager. and you can also store data in a file from DM also.

Region source (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)

Hi, guys.
Here is what i try to do:
Create a region of type SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query). In the source area i tried to put this:
DECLARE
v_new VARCHAR2(10);
v_SQL varchar2(32000);
BEGIN
v_new := :P102_HDN_NEW;
-- htp.p(v_new);
IF v_new = 'N-Set' THEN
v_SQL := 'select ' ||
ELSIF v_new = 'Y-Set' THEN
v_SQL := 'select ' ||
END IF;
RETURN v_SQL;
END;
And here is the reply from APEX:
1 error has occurred
Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the ''generic columns'' checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing. The query can not be parsed, the cursor is not yet open or a function returning a SQL query returned without a value.
Now.
1. Variable is set with the right value.
2. Each statement (separately) returns SQL that works with no problems
3. Problem occures if i try to put IF statement around the SQL creation.
4. If i select "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)" instead of "Use Query-Specific Column Names and Validate Query" then the script returns SQL properly, however report's column names are set to Col1, Col2,Col3 ......

On Submit process not firing -report (PL/SQL function returning SQL query)

Can anyone suggest possible causes / solutions for the following problem?
I have a report region that uses a PL/SQL function returning SQL query. The report allows the user to update multiple fields / rows and then click a button to submit the page which should run the On-Submit process to update the database. However the process does not run and I get a 'HTTP404 page cannot be found' error; and when I navigate back using the Back button I cannot then navigate to any other page in my application without getting the same error. The button was created by a wizard selecting the options to submit the page and redirect to a (same) page. The button does not actually have a redirect in its definition but the wizard created a branch to the same page which should work and the button has the text 'submit as SUBMIT' next to it so it appears to be set up correctly.
I have recreated this page several times in my application and I cannot get the On-Submit process to run. However I have created a cut down version of the same page in the sample application on apex.oracle.com at http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=4550:1:179951678764332 and this works perfectly so I am at a loss to understand why it does not work in my application. I cannot post any part of the application itself but if anybody would like to check out page 30 of the sample application (Customer Update Test tab) updating the surnames only, using credentials ja, demo, demo this is pretty much what I have got in my application.
Any ideas would be much appreciated?

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I have now identified that the problem goes away when I remove the second table from my report query. The original report query retrieved data from two tables and the process was updating only one of the tables. I thought I had approached the task logically i.e. first get the report to display the records from the two tables, then get the process to update the first table and finally to modify the process further to update the second table.
Can anyone point me to an example of multiple row updates on multiple tables using a PL/SQL function returning an SQL query?

Doubt in conversion of SQL query to oracle

Hi guys,
I'm new to oracle. I have a SQL query like the following,
Select * From my_table With(Index(PK_my_key))
I want to convert this to oracle. How can I specify the syntax *'With(Index(PK_my_key)) '* in oracle.
Please advice.
Ram

Is it possible to test that and find out the performance of the query? You need to check the execution plan of the query.
See these informative threads that explain in more detail :

How to get thr number of rows of an SQL query in JSTL

hi guys,
can anyone please tell me how do i perform a function which finds out the particular rownumber of an sql query in JSTL.....
the same code in jsp is:
<% plateRSet.getRowNum() %>
how do i do this given plateRset is the var for a given iteration
thanks
rahul

make your result set scrollable...Not such a good idea. With Oracle, the JDBC driver will read and cache all the ResultSet in memory (with other DBMSs/drivers the behavior will probably be different, but you will still have some unnecessary overhead).
You can do the caching yourself if you think it's worth it. If the piece of code you posted is why you need this for, then use a List or Vector and you won't need to know the size upfront.

SQL Query Help - Is this possible or impossible????

Hi guys,
I need help with an SQL query that I'm trying to develop. It's very easy to explain but when trying to implement it, I'm struggling to achieve the results that I want.....
For example,
I have 2 tables
The first table is:
1) COMPANY create table company (manufacturer varchar2(25),
                                                      date_established date,
                                                      location varchar2(25) );My sample test date is:
insert into company values ('Ford', 1902, 'USA');
insert into company values ('BMW', 1910, 'Germany');
insert into company values ('Tata', 1922, 'India');The second table is:
2) MODELS create table models (manufacturer varchar(25),
                                             model varchar2(25),
                                             price number(10),
                                             year date,
                                             current_production_status varchar2(1) ) ;My sample test data is:
insert into models values ('Ford', 'Mondeo', 10000, 2010, 0);
insert into models values ('Ford', 'Galaxy', 12000,   2008, 0);
insert into models values ('Ford', 'Escort', 10000, 1992, 1);
insert into models values ('BMW', '318', 17500, 2010, 0);
insert into models values ('BMW', '535d', 32000,   2006, 0);
insert into models values ('BMW', 'Z4', 10000, 1992, 0);
insert into models values ('Tata', 'Safari', 4000, 1999, 0);
insert into models values ('Tata', 'Sumo', 5500,   1996, 1);
insert into models values ('Tata', 'Maruti', 3500, 1998, 0);And this is my query:
SELECT
        com.manufacturer,
        com.date_established,
        com.location,
        DECODE(nvl(mod.current_production_status, '0'), '0', '-', mod.model),
        DECODE(nvl(mod.current_production_status, '0'), '0', '-', mod.price),
        DECODE(nvl(mod.current_production_status, '0'), '0', '-', mod.year),
        mod.current_production_status
FROM
       company com,
       models mod
WHERE
      mod.manufacturer = com.manufacturer
      and com.manufacturer IN ('Ford', 'BMW', 'Tata')
      and mod.current_production_status IN (1,0)
ORDER BY
        mod.current_production_status DESCWhat I want the query to output is this:
com.manufacturer        com.date_established          com.location          mod.model          mod.price             mod.year     mod.current_production_status
Ford               1902                    USA               Escort               10000               1992          1
BMW               1910                    Germany               -               -               -          0

If current_production_status is 0 it means the manufacturer does not have any discontinued models and all are in procuction.
The rule is only one record per manufacturer is allowed to have a current_production_status of 1 (so only one model from the selection the manufactuer offers is allowed to be discontinued).
So the query should output the one row where current_production_status is 1 for each manufacturer.
If for a given manufacturer there are no discontinued models and all have a current_production_status of 0 then ouput a SINGLE row that only includes the data from the COMPANY table (as above). The rest of the columns from the MODELS table should be populated with a '-' (hyphen).
My query as it is above will output all the records where current status is 1 or 0 like this
com.manufacturer        com.date_established          com.location          mod.model          mod.price          mod.year     mod.current_production_status

P.S. Database version is '10.2.0.1.0'

Hi Vishnu,
Karthiks query helped...
But this is the problem I am facing...
SELECT
        com.manufacturer,
        com.date_established,
        com.location,
        DECODE(nvl(mod.current_production_status, '0'), '0', '-', mod.model),
        DECODE(nvl(mod.current_production_status, '0'), '0', '-', mod.price),
        DECODE(nvl(mod.current_production_status, '0'), '0', '-', mod.year),
        mod.current_production_status
FROM
       company com,
       models mod
WHERE
      mod.manufacturer = com.manufacturer
      and com.manufacturer = 'Ford'
      and mod.current_production_status IN (1,0)
ORDER BY
        mod.current_production_status DESCThe value of:
and com.manufacturer = 'Ford'will be dependent on front end user input....
When I run the query above I get all the rows where current_production_status is either 1 or 0.
I only require the rows where current_production_status is 1.
So if I amend it to look like this:
     and mod.current_production_status = 1This works....
BUT if a user now passes in more than one manufacturer EG:
and com.manufacturer IN ('Ford', 'BMW')The query will only return the one row for Ford where current_production_status is 1. However because BMW has no models where current_production_status is 1 (all 3 are 0), I still want this to be output - as one row....
So like this:
com.manufacturer        com.date_established          com.location          mod.model          mod.price             mod.year     mod.current_production_status
Ford               1902                    USA               Escort               10000               1992          1
BMW               1910                    Germany               -               -               -          0So (hopefully you understand), I want both cases to be catered for.....whether a user enters one manufacturer or more than one...
Thanks you so much!
This is really driving me insane :-(

Substitution strings in chart sql query

Hi Guys,
I am creating line charts and bar charts based on a query in HTML DB 1.5. I am using substitution strings in the query. Though I can use substitution strings in the line chart, I cannot do it in the bar chart. I am using almost the same sql query in both line and bar charts.
The sql query in line chart is
SELECT null, TO_CHAR(t1.extract_date, 'W-MON-YYYY') extractdate,
MIN_OF_AVERAGES(AVG(&P40_METRICS.),:P40_REGION_LIST,:P40_SUBREGION_LIST,NULL,:P40_METRICS,'ind') orgid
FROM ind t1,geography t2
WHERE t1.country_id = t2.country_id(+)
AND t2.region_name like
DECODE(:P40_REGION_LIST,'ALL REGIONS','%',:P40_REGION_LIST)
AND t2.subregion_name like
NVL(:P40_SUBREGION_LIST,'%')
GROUP BY TO_CHAR(extract_date, 'W-MON-YYYY')
order by to_date(extractdate,'DD-MON-YY')
The sql query in bar chart is
SELECT null, TO_CHAR(t1.extract_date, 'W-MON-YYYY') extractdate,AVG(&P40_METRICS.) orgid
FROM ind t1,geography t2
WHERE t1.country_id = t2.country_id(+)
AND t2.region_name like
DECODE(:P40_REGION_LIST,'ALL REGIONS','%',:P40_REGION_LIST)
AND t2.subregion_name like
NVL(:P40_SUBREGION_LIST,'%')
GROUP BY TO_CHAR(extract_date, 'W-MON-YYYY')
order by to_date(extractdate,'DD-MON-YY')
The min_of_averages function in the line chart query is some function I am calling. Even if I cut-paste the line chart query in the bar chart I get the error.
The substitution string which is giving the problem is "&P40_METRICS."
The error I am getting is
Query cannot be parsed, please check the syntax of your query. (ORA-00909: invalid number of arguments)
The only difference I see is that line chart query is inside a series and bar chart is not, does this make a difference??? Or is it because I am using the substitution string in choosing the column??? Please help!!!!
Thanks,
Swaroop

Swaroop,
You might be using an HTML bar chart and an SVG line chart, I can't tell, but their implementations differ. You won't be able to use a substitution string to replace a column name in the query in the situation you found, you'd have to figure out a way to construct the query string before it gets executed and I'm not sure the chart pages will let you do that.

Sql query from Oracle/Hyperion

Hi, guys. my problem is:
My work environment is windows 2003 server sp2 on both servers, to have a Hyperion System 9.2 and the other Hyperion System 9.3.1. I have an Oracle ODBC server to fetch data.
When you load data from an Oracle database (version 9.2.0.5) to an Essbase cube through a rule file sql Hyperion System with version 9.2 everything works fine, I am all the necessary information. But when I try to do the same (in another server, version 9.3.1 Hyperion System) with the sql query does not do well. What is the problem. the bag is a bad version or set the ODBC
please help me
Thank you very much.
Alberto.

without knowing more information, I'm going to guess the probem is with the ODBC driver. Try using the SQL in a tool like toad to use the ODBC to query the data. That will tell you if it is an ODBC issue or not.

Data server switch in SQL query

Hi guys,
I have a question about data server switch in the sql query template. We have been developing all the sql queris pointing to the customer test db server say "TESTDB", now we have to change the db connection to "PRODUCTDB", do we need to change sql queries one by one or is there a better solution for this? I think this is a common requirement to change back and forth data server connection for a bulk number of queries
Thanks,
Tony.

Tony,
From a design perspective it is advisible to name your data servers in a more abstract way, since the query templates themselves only save the Name of the data server in them. Data Servers also have a description field (typically overlooked) which will appear in the list and the workbench where you can be explicit or to even serve as a reminder that you are working with either test or production data. The true 'switch' should happen when you reconfigure your data server settings for server url and user/pwd.
TESTDB and PRODUCTDB might be better served with a meaningful name that provides a correlation to the data stored in the database. In more mature system landscapes having a DEV/QA/PROD arrangement of MII servers, the ability to promote content comes from configuration and projects, not from actually changing the content on the same server.
If you need to rapidly modify your content to adopt this practice then I would simply export the associated project and unzip it to a folder. Then use windows explorer to do a search for files containing your data server name (they will appear in your query templates as Server="TESTDB"). With a text editor that can do search and replaces across multiple files (http://www.editplus.com is my personal favorite) you can easily change the data server name to a better convention. Then zip up the folder content and reimport the project. This will effectively switch your data servers (don't forget to create the new abstract data server in place of the TESTDB and PRODUCTDB).

Jeremy
