Help with simple XPath query in OSB

Hi!
I'm trying to extract part of XML message with Oracle Service Bus using XPath but I can't find the way to get it done
For testing purposes I initialize a "test" variable with an assignation action with following content:
<Countries><Country><COUNTRY>ES</COUNTRY><EU_COUNTRY>S</EU_COUNTRY><NOMBRE>Spain</NOMBRE><ID>1</ID><Country></Countries>
Then I use following code to access COUNTRY element but I get blank result:
$test/Countries/Country/COUNTRY/text()
I'm rather new to XPath but I think this expression should work.
Could anyone give me any advice?
Thank you.

Great! But why must I avoid root XML element in expression?

Help with simple LIKE query...

I have a person table, the person table has a field which has their interests... In a form they choose which interests they have i.e. swimming, tennis through checkboxes. What i don't get IS how do i create a query based on this? (for example one person likes swimming and the other tennis:
SELECT * from Person WHERE interests LIKE '%Swimming%Tennis%';
the above gives me 0 results any ideas?

You can avoid difficult application issues by enabling a more appropriate schema.
Here is a very basic schema that may or may not work for you, but I hope it will give you some ideas. I did not create any unique indexes in this sample, but both PERSON and INTEREST table would have a unique index created on them. The PERSON_INTEREST table would have a non-unique index created for it. I also included a query that shows how to correctly query against this schema. This is in Oracle syntax, but the DDL should be similar to whatever DBMS you are using, and the SQL should be the same.
I'll be honest, this might be overkill for what you are attempting, but if you plan on extending your project / assignment in anyway, you would be better off with a more complete schema. I hope it helps. Good luck on your project / assignment.

Need some help with the Select query.

Need some help with the Select query.
I had created a Z table with the following fields :
ZADS :
MANDT
VKORG
ABGRU.
I had written a select query as below :
select single vkorg abgru from ZADS into it_rej.
IT_REJ is a Work area:
DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ,
        VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
        ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
       END OF IT_REJ.
This is causing performance issue. They are asking me to include the where condition for this select query.
What should be my select query here?
Please suggest....
Any suggestion will be apprecaiated!

Hello Everybody!
Thank you for all your response!
I had changes this work area into Internal table and changed the select query. PLease let me know if this causes any performance issues?
I had created a Z table with the following fields :
ZADS :
MANDT
VKORG
ABGRU.
I had written a select query as below :
I had removed the select single and insted of using the Structure it_rej, I had changed it into Internal table
select vkorg abgru from ZADS into it_rej.
Earlier :
IT_REJ is a Work area:
DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ,
VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
END OF IT_REJ.
Now :
DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ occurs 0,
VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
END OF IT_REJ.
I guess this will fix the issue correct?
PLease suggest!

Help with an SQL Query on the Logger

We are running UCCE 8.5(3) and need help with an SQL query. When I run the below I would also like to see skill group information(name preferably)? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
select * from dbo.t_Termination_Call_Detail where DateTime between '10-11-2012 00:00:00:00' and

David, thanks for replying. Unfortunitly I don't know enough about SQL to put that into a query and have it return data. Would you be able to give an example on what the query would look like?

Help with Inner Join query in SQL

Hope someone can help with this, as this is quite an involved project for me, and I'm just about there with it.
My table structure is :
table_packages
packageID
package
packageDetails
etc
table_destinations
destinationID
destination
destinationDetails
etc
table_packagedestinations
packageID
destinationID
..so nothing that complicated.
So the idea is that I can have a package details page which shows the details of the package, along any destinations linked to that package via the packagedestinations table.
So this is the last part really - to get the page to display the destinations, but I'm missing something along the way....
This is the PHP from the header, including my INNER JOIN query....
PHP Code:
<?php
$ParampackageID_WADApackages = "-1";
if (isset($_GET['packageID'])) {
$ParampackageID_WADApackages = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_GET['packageID'] : addslashes($_GET['packageID']);
$ParamSessionpackageID_WADApackages = "-1";
if (isset($_SESSION['WADA_Insert_packages'])) {
$ParamSessionpackageID_WADApackages = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_SESSION['WADA_Insert_packages'] : addslashes($_SESSION['WADA_Insert_packages']);
$ParampackageID2_WADApackages = "-1";
if (isset($_GET['packageID'])) {
$ParampackageID2_WADApackages = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_GET['packageID'] : addslashes($_GET['packageID']);
mysql_select_db($database_connPackages, $connPackages);
$query_WADApackages = sprintf("SELECT packageID, package, costperpax, duration, baselocation, category, dateadded, agerange, hotel, educational_tours, field_trips, corporate_outings, plant_visits, budget_package, rollingtours, teambuilding, description, offer FROM packages WHERE packageID = %s OR ( -1= %s AND packageID= %s)", GetSQLValueString($ParampackageID_WADApackages, "int"),GetSQLValueString($ParampackageID2_WADApackages, "int"),GetSQLValueString($ParamSessionpackageID_WADApackages, "int"));
$WADApackages = mysql_query($query_WADApackages, $connPackages) or die(mysql_error());
$row_WADApackages = mysql_fetch_assoc($WADApackages);
$totalRows_WADApackages = mysql_num_rows($WADApackages);
$colname_educationalDestinations = "1";
if (isset($_GET['PackageID'])) {
$colname_educationalDestinations = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? packageID : addslashes(packageID);
mysql_select_db($database_connPackages, $connPackages);
$query_educationalDestinations = sprintf("SELECT * FROM destinations INNER JOIN (packages INNER JOIN packagedestinations ON packages.packageID = packagedestinations.packageID) ON destinations.destinationID = packagedestinations.destinationID WHERE packages.packageID = %s ORDER BY destination ASC", GetSQLValueString($colname_educationalDestinations, "int"));
$educationalDestinations = mysql_query($query_educationalDestinations, $connPackages) or die(mysql_error());
$row_educationalDestinations = mysql_fetch_assoc($educationalDestinations);
$totalRows_educationalDestinations = mysql_num_rows($educationalDestinations);
?>
And where I'm trying to display the destinations themselves, I have :
<table>
        <tr>
                 <td>Destinations :</td>
            </tr>
           <?php do { ?>
        <tr>
             <td><?php echo $row_educationalDestinations['destination']; ?></td>
        </tr>
        <?php } while ($row_educationalDestinations = mysql_fetch_assoc($educationalDestinations)); ?>
</table>
If anyone could have a quick look and help me out that would be much appreciated - not sure if its my SQL at the top, or the PHP in the page, but either way it would be good to get it working.
Thanks.

First off, you need to get the database tables so that there is a relationship between them.
In fact, if there is a one to one relationship, then it may be better to store all of your information in one table such as
table_packages
packageID
package
packageDetails
destination
destinationDetails
etc
If there is a one to many relationship, then the following would be true
packages
packageID
package
packageDetails
etc
destinations
destinationID
packageID
destination
destinationDetails
etc
The above assumes that there are many destinations to one package with the relationship coloured orange.
Once you have the above correct you can apply your query as follows
SELECT *
FROM packages
INNER JOIN destinations
ON packages.packageID = destinations.packageID
WHERE packages.packageID = %s
ORDER BY destination ASC
The above query will show all packages with relevant destinations

Need help with LikeFilter for querying the keyset instead of value

Hi,
I'm looking for help with the LikeFilter.
I need to query the cache to get all entries with key starting with a particular string.
I could see samples using LikeFilter for querying the values in the cache but not the keyset.
Can someone help?
E.g:
Cache Entries:
abc123 - value1
abc234 - value2
bcd123 - value3
I want to get all entries with key starting with 'abc'.
thanks,
rama.

NJ, thanks for the quick reply.
I tried something similar (as below) but this code gives me 'java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/tangosol/util/ValueExtractor'.
KeyExtractor extractor = new KeyExtractor("getKey");
Filter filter = new LikeFilter(extractor, id+":%",'-',false);
-rama.

Help with a PowerPivot query

Hi,
I've got a server audit log in PowerPivot (114,000 rows) which I provide some basic reporting from (PowerPivot is not my specialist subject so go easy). What I now need to perform a Distinct filter, but can't get the logic right. Basically the log
as two bits of information, 1) is the source of the job and 2) if it was a success or failure. What I need to do is to find all of the Source items that have never completed sucessfully. Any ideas on what formula is best to use, or
do I need to split in to multiple sheets and create a table relationship?
Source,Status
======,======
Source1,Fail
Source1,Fail
Source1,Success
Source2,Fail
Source3,Fail
Source3,Success
So in the above example, I would only expect the filter to show me Source2
Thanks
Alex

Hi Alex,
using Power Query instead, it would work like this:
Once you've pushed your table to PQ, add a column "helper" with value=1.
Then pivot on "Status", taking "helper"-column into "values column"
(hope translation is understandable, as I'm using localized Version & translation via "Quick info" isn't working in the PQ menu)
Then filter on column "Success" = blank.

I need help with a SELECT query - help!

Hello, I need help with a select statement.
I have a table with 2 fields as shown below
Name | Type
John | 1
John | 2
John | 3
Paul | 1
Paul | 2
Paul | 3
Mark | 1
Mark | 2
I need a query that returns everything where the name has type 1 or 2 but not type 3. So in the example above the qery should bring back all the "Mark" records.
Thanks,
Ian

Or, if the types are sequential from 1 upwards you could simply do:-
SQL> create table t as
2 select 'John' as name, 1 as type from dual union
3 select 'John',2 from dual union
4 select 'John',3 from dual union
5 select 'Paul',1 from dual union
6 select 'Paul',2 from dual union
7 select 'Paul',3 from dual union
8 select 'Paul',4 from dual union
9 select 'Mark',1 from dual union
10 select 'Mark',2 from dual;
Table created.
SQL> select name
2 from t
3 group by name
4 having count(*) <= 2;
NAME
Mark
SQL>Or another alternative if they aren't sequential:
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 select name from (
2    select name, max(type) t
3    from t
4    group by name
5    )
6* where t < 3
SQL> /
NAME
Mark

Please help with some solution.

OK: the third parameter of the SUBSTR function indicates the (maximum) length of the returnd string.
Therefore SUBSTR("EES_ENERGY_MASTER"."ICD_CODE",1,2) could possibly be '68' , but never '68-gyn'.
'68-gyn' is just 4 characters too long.

Need help with writing a query with dynamic FROM clause

Hi Folks,
I need help with an query that should generate the "FROM" clause dynamically.
My main query is as follows
select DT_SKEY, count(*)
from *???*
where DT_SKEY between 20110601 and 20110719
group by DT_SKEY
having count(*) = 0
order by 1; The "from" clause of the above query should be generated as below
select 'Schema_Name'||'.'||TABLE_NAME
from dba_tables
where OWNER = 'Schema_Name'Simply sticking the later query in the first query does not work.
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks

Remember that anything inside quotes is case-sensitive. Is the owner really "Schema_Name" with a capital S and a capital N, and 8 lower-case letters?
Simply sticking the later query in the first query does not work.Right; the table name must be given when you compile the query. It's not an expression that you can generate in the query itself.
Any pointers will be appreciated.In SQL*Plus, you can do something like the query bleow.
Say you want to count the rows in scott.emp, but you're not certain that the name is emp; it could be emp_2011 or emp_august, or anything else that starts with e. (And the name could change every day, so you can't just look it up now and hard-code it in a query that you want to run in the future.)
Typically, how dynamic SQL works is that some code (such as a preliminary query) gets some of the information you need to write the query first, and you use that information in a SQL statement that is compiled and run after that. For example:
-- Preliminary Query:
COLUMN     my_table_name_col     NEW_VALUE my_table_name
SELECT     table_name     AS my_table_name_col
FROM     all_tables
WHERE     owner          = 'SCOTT'
AND     table_name     LIKE 'E%';
-- Main Query:
SELECT     COUNT (*)     AS cnt
FROM     scott.&my_table_name
;This assumes that the preliminary query will find exactly one row; that is, it assumes that SCOTT has exactly one table whose name starts with E. Could you have 0 tables in the schema, or more than 1? If so, what results would you want? Give a concrete example, preferably suing commonly available tables (like those in the SCOTT schema) so that the poepl who want to help you can re-create the problem and test their ideas.

Help with simple script

I was wondering if someone could help me with a simple bit of action script 3. I need to make a movie clip (single_mc) disappear when the user clicks on the mouse (stop_btn). Here’s what I have so far.
function setProperty(event:MouseEvent):void
single_mc.alpha=0;
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setProperty);
Also I was wonder if you could recommend an Action script 3 book for me. I would like one that is not a training book, but has situations and then the script written out. For example: I click a button and a movie symbol disappears from the stage. I am a graphic artist, that from time to time, needs simple interaction in flash, but cant justify the time to learn the script.
Thanks for your time

use the snippets panel to help with you with sample code for basic tasks.
function setProperty(event:MouseEvent):void
single_mc.visible=false;
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setProperty);

Please help with simple Drag N Drop

I’m desperate and need some help with this simple drag
and drop. Here is the scenario…this animation is for a
kindergarten course. I have 6 different colored teddy bears on the
floor and the bears are to be placed on the middle shelf in the
room, in no particular order. I have the code in place to drag the
bears, and they return to their original location if dropped in the
wrong area. Everything works, except I can’t make the bears
stick to the target area. The target area has to be the same for
all 6 bears. Can someone help me out with this?
I have a feeling that the problem has something to do with my
instance names, but I have tried everything I can think of and
cannot get it to work. Is there some way I can post, send, or
attach my .fla file for someone to look at? I’m desperate.

Help with a update query from a subquery

Hello All,
I wanted to see if someone can help me with an update query.
I need to grab a latitude & longitude from a the same user that is in two accounts. therefore i am trying to update lat/long in a users table for one account based off of the same user in another account. I am matching the users up by phone number and last name. I tried a subquery but am having difficulty.
I was thinking of something like the following:
update users
set lat = getlat, long = getlong
inner join (select lat as getlat, long as get long from users where account_id = '1')
on phone = phone and last name = lastname
where account_id = '2' and lat IS NULL and long IS NULL
Am I going in the right direction???
Thanks in advance for any assistance!!!!

What difficulty are you having? Have you tried what you posted and get an error?
Although someone may be able to give you sql advice here, I would try posting this over at Stack Overflow as its not really related to Coldfusion.

Help With Geodetic Rectangular Query Please

I'm new to spatial so I appreciate your help.
I have a 3D geodetic coordinate system defined that is index in 2D (lon & lat).
I want to do a query that returns all points (lat, lon, alt) within the rectangle described by the query.
I read in the "Oracle Spatial User's Guide" that this rectangle must have 5 points (since I'm using geodetic).
I have not found a good example of how to format the query. Can you help with an example?

here is an example which assume a wgs-84 coordinate system (srid=8307). Note that altitude will be ignored.
select col1,col2,etc
from geom_table
where sdo_relate(geom,mdsys.sdo_geometry(2003,8307,NULL,
mdsys.sdo_elem_info_array(1,1003,1),
mdsys.sdo_ordinate_array(-70.05,40.8, -69.05,40.8, -69.05,41.2, -70.05,41.2, -70.05,40.8)),
'mask=anyinteract querytype=window') = 'TRUE';
