Hiding a column

Hi,
Can I hide a column in select query output?
I have a Rank() function in my query for computing other results ,but i don't want to show the Rank() in the result output. Is it possible to hide it?
Thanks
Harhsini

Easy - nest the query, eg:
select col1, col2, col3, col4
from (select col1, col2, col3, col4, row_number() over (partition by col1 order by col2) rn
from some_table)

Hiding Table Columns with the Spry Element Selector

I am trying to set up a toggle button that will show/hide
rows >1 when clicked. I've used Adobe's
"Hiding
Table Columns with the Spry Element Selector" example and it
worked fine with an HTML list, until I linked to actual XML data.
Now it works in reverse. What gives?
Here's the example:

Hiding the column data. What is the point of DBMS_CRYPTO package?

DB version:10g R2
A requirement has come where we need to hide some columns' data from end users.
Trasparent Data Encryption feature wouldn't do the trick as it encrypts the data only at the storage level not at user level.
I've seen PL/SQL codes using DBMS_CRYPTO which encrypts and decrypts input strings like the code mentioned in
Re: Need some hints on using dbms_crypto
What is point of these PL/SQL codes?
They can only be used to create functions which will be called in VIEWS. That is the only use of DBMS_CRYPTO package. Right?
Do you guys have any suggestion in hiding/obfuscating column data? Is creating a view my only option?

One solution to "hide" data (columns or rows) from end users is simply to create a view.
The end user will be granted only access to the view and not to the base tables behind the view. The view will only expose those cloumns and rows that the end users is supposed to see.
Of cause this has nothing to do with encryption. But I don't see anything in your business requirements that needs to use encryption methods.

Changing the Column Header and Hiding the Column dynamically???

Hi friends..
I'm new to OBIEE field. I'm working in a OBIEE project that requires to dynamically change the column header, and dynamically hide the column depending on the prompt value.
I know we can dynamically change the table header using the presentation variable but I couldn't do that same thing with column header.
I searched some forums that suggest to use java script for this purpose but I'm not able to do the same also. If anyone had same issue before please help.

toony, I'm not sure it's possible to do all that you want exactly the way you want, but here are some ideas you can pursue.
To dynamically change column headers without javascript, check this blog out...
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/01/25/oracle-bi-ee-101332-dynamic-column-headers-using-presentation-variables-sets-and-conditional-formatting/
As far as dynamically hiding a column, I don't think you can do this, but since you don't provide any details on how the PV is supposed to hide a column based on the value, are you talking about hiding a column for one PV value and another (different) column for a different PV value? Or are you talking about hiding one column when a PV has certain values and displaying it when the PV has a different set of values?
I have managed to create both scenarios via a work-around, but the procedures require some writing so I don't want to put both. Please detail how you want your PV to "hide" a column or columns.
P.S. I don't think column selectors will do the trick for you. Basically column selectors work like this: Say you have a report using Sales Region ID, Region Name, and Sales. Now let's say you want the user to choose if he/she wants to see annual sales, or quarter sales or weekly sales, etc. The column selector view would allow you to put the various columns (Year Sales, Quarter Sales, Weekly Sales) as an option the user can select. Once selected, the sales figure will change for the time period selected. For an example of how this is done, check out the section in this "Oracle by Example" link.
Waited too long to publish this... Madan beat me to it, so there is some overlap here...

Hiding few columns before displaying alv grid output

Hi All,
I struck up at hiding few columns before displaying alv output. I have used used FM: REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY. By using this i am displaying 29 fields to the output. But before displaying the output i want to hide few columns among them, and also those fields have to be avialable for further selection by the user by using layout.
Kindly help me in this,
Regards
Srinivas K

Hi,
In field catalog set NO_OUT='X' for all the columns you want to hide. They will be available when changing layout for ALV, so you can show them at any time.

Updating a JTable by hiding/displaying columns

I have a customizable JTable where I display/hide columns according to a users' selection criteria. My code works fine for hiding/displaying columns if the Jtable is opened for the fist time, but doesnot work if I want to hide columns in already displayed table.How do I do it?? Any clue?? I tried
myTabModel.fireTableDataChanged();
but this only works for updating the table data...it does not hide columns for me... when I hide column I just remove desired column like this:
myTable.removeColumn(myTable.getColumn("Column 3"));

Here is the sample code I tried. It worked without any invalidate or repaint or updateUI(). generated using NetBeans

I want to hide a column when i select Hide option from a popup menu and
again bring it back when i select show option again from the popup menu.
How to get this done?

Hi!
The simplest way to do that, is to set the column width to 0 for hiding and back to its normal size to show it again.

Hiding a column used in the custom view!

Hello! I would like to find out if there is any way to do the following: I have a view based on a table (Configuration Manager - Views). I specified to display 4 columns to show up in the View, so that we can modify the columns without going into the Database. In the "Default Display Expression" entry on the Info tab of the view, I've specified how these columns should be displayed on the UI. My problem: I don't want to display the fourth column on the UI at all, but I want this column to still be accessible by administrators via the view! Is it possible to specify somehow NOT to display this column, but still use it in the view? Thanks for the suggestions! Anya

Hello! I've actually created a separate view just to hide this fourth column, and we will be using this for the administration (relates to your point b). However, someone had asked not to use so many views! Do you know of any problems if several views are being used for the same table? In our case some tables have up to 3 views already. We use this view for the Metadata field, but the Metadata field is an option list (or controlled vocabulary in our terms). To enable more user-friendly selection, we are using DHTMLX Grid (dhtmlx.com) to display values in the View. The grid is displaying all columns from the view, by default! (Perhaps I need to check if I can somehow customize the Grid - however, I was hoping to do this from the View itself) Thanks!

Hiding the column headers in boxed view

I've created a custom list that I'm displaying in boxed view. Here's a sample of the columns:
Business Systems Manager
Project lead
Project number
SFA?
Etc...
In boxed view, it displays like I have it here - vertical. The names of the people and info display next to each item.
However, the web part is still displaying the column headings across the page like in this example:
Business Systems Manager - Project Lead - Project Number - SFA? - etc...
Some of my custom lists carry on for 12 or 13 columns and the main page view has about 6 or 7 of them so needless to say, the extra real estate the column headers (which are completely redundant because the column heading info is IN the boxed view!!!) are taking up is killing the layout of the page.
Is there anyway to remove the column headers from the boxed view with out of the box Sharepoint? Or is Designer required?
Thanks!
Lorraine

This worked well for me:
1) Add a Content Editor Web Part
2) Click Source Editor
3) Enter the following code:
[css] <style> .ms-viewheadertr { display: none;} </style> [/css]
4) Select Save
5) Go to Layout and Select 'Hidden'

Hiding a column when displaying an alv

Hi Gurus,

This node is in CONTEXT of my view and in componentcontroller.
Now i want to hide some attributes(columns) when displaying this alv. Can anybody help me?
Thanks..

Hi,
When i write that code, it gives me an error message :

lr_salv_table type ref to cl_salv_wd_config_table.
lr_salv_column = lr_salv_table-if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_column( 'm_no' ).

Error message:
"Class "CL_MAINV_CTR" does not contain an interface

"Mainv" is the name of my view.
I am new at WDA, please give me detailed information.
