You would jettison the entire LAST_WEEK subquery. Then replace your failure calculation with
    current_week.failure - lag(current_week.failure) over (order by current_week.year, current_week.week) as failures_compareI suppose you might want to think about renaming the sub-query as well ....

    Hi Niels,
    As I'm sure you know, the conundrum is that Reports doesn't know how many total pages there will be in the report until it is all done formatting, which is too late for your needs. So, one classical solution to this problem is to run the report twice, storing the total number of pages in the database using a format trigger, and throwing away the output from the first run when you don't know the total number of pages.
    Alternatively, you could define a report layout so that the number of pages in the output is completely predictable based upon, say, the number of rows in the main query. E.g., set a limit of one, two, ... rows per page, and then you'll know how many pages there will be simply because you can count the rows in a separate query.
    Hope this helps...
    regards,
    Stewart

  • How can i use param in my select query ( see code)

    Hi ,
    I need to use the param instead of hardcoding the value in the select query , when i did that it is working .
    I think the limit of args is only till the end of main and my select query is in a method called Load() .
    How can i use the param in my select query .
    public static void main(String[] args){
    name = args[0];
    class= args[1];
    new Load();
    }//end of main
    public Load()
              try {
                   Class.forName(JDBC_DRIVER);
                   connection = DriverManager.getConnection(DATABASE_URL,"username","pw");
                   statement = connection.createStatement();
                   //First Query : pin and ticket number
                   ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT pin , ticketnumber from airport ,year where "+                                                                      "year.year_name= Here i need to use the param (instead of hardcoding) and year.class_year= Here too i need to use param");
    }// end of method Load()Edited by: 1sai on Sep 24, 2008 7:34 AM

    Might I suggest you change the structure of your program to the following:
    public class Load {
      private Connection conn;
      private PreparedStatement statement;
      public Load(String sql) {
        init(sql);
      protected void init(String sql) throws Exception {
        Class.forName(JDBC_DRIVER);
        conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DATABASE_URL, "username", "pw");
        statement = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
      public ResultSet execute(String p1, String p2) throws Exception {
        statement.setString(1, p1);
        statement.setString(2, p2);
        return statement.executeQuery();
      public void close() throws Exception {
        if (statement != null)
          statement.close();
        statement = null;
        if (conn != null)
          conn.close();
        conn = null;
      public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String sql = args[0];
        String param1 = args[1];
        String param2 = args[2];
        Load load = new Load(sql);
        ResultSet rs = load.execute(param1, param2);
        while (rs.next())
          System.out.println(rs.get(0));
        rs.close();
        load.close();
    }This allows you to use the same "Load" object for multiple queries with different parameters.
    I do not recommend you actually use the code above in any sort of production application. You should really take a look at Spring Framework along with an ORM tool like Hibernate or Ibatis to simplify your DAO layer.
    Hope this helps,
    David

  • How can I use a class like this?

    public class Test<N, T extends Test<N, T>> {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    Test<String, Test<String, Test>> test = null; //compile failed...
    }

    I could suggest the following example:public class Test<N, T extends Test<N, T>> {
        public void op(T t){
            System.out.println("T: " + t.getClass().getName());
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            SubTest<String> subTest = new SubTest<String>();
            subTest.op(subTest);
    class SubTest<N> extends Test<N, SubTest<N>>{   
    }The problem is that T parameter should be a descendant of Test class

  • How can I use a variable in webi query filter

    I created a webi report using the fiscal year/month(period) field as a filter to show a window of 18 periods.  The report works just as requested using a between filter on fiscal period with prompts for both the start and ending periods.  Now I'd like to calculate the start period based on what was entered in the prompt for the ending period (e.g. enter 201106 for the TO prompt on the between statement and have the FROM statement filled in as 201001.)  I can create variables in the report to display both the user response to the ending period prompt and the calculated starting period, but I cannot figure out how to incorporate that calculated starting date into the FROM side of the between query filter.
    Any suggestions? 
    Thanks,
    Doug
    Sorry I got my froms and to's mixed up in the first draft. Edited by: Doug Roswold on Mar 4, 2011 6:27 PM

    Let me understand what you want to do.  You don't want to use two prompts, just one, insn't it?
    I mean, instead of:
    Filter area:
    Date between "From prompt" to "To Prompt"
    You want something like:.
    Filter area:
    Date between Variable  to "To Prompt"
    if I'm not wrong that's not possible to achieve in Webi Query  Panel.
    Can you modify your universe? The only way to achieve it is modifying your universe, creating your formula in the universe and assigning it to an object, so you can use this new object in your filter area like this:
    Date between MyUniverseObject  to "To Prompt"

    <I want a query with the same result without using union all>
    You can write a pipelined function, which will be about ten times the work. Its best to use the simples tools; why don't you want to use UNION ALL since its probably the best answer?

    If you are just visiting Singapore, then leave the account as it is. If you have moved there, then view your account using the iTunes app on a Mac or PC and change the country/region to your current location and address. If you do not have a bank card, you can fund your account using iTunes gift cards if available in Singapore.

    Thanks

    It is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

  • How can I use the old Apple TV with new iTunes?  It tells me to input a code in iTunes but iTunes no longer has a spot to input this code to allow sync.  I can access the iTunes Store fine, just none of my Library

  • My employer is issuing an iPad 4 to me, but has informed me that I "...can expect no privacey" of any personal information that may be put on the iPad. This is not acceptable to me. How can I use iTunes to keep my personal information off the iPad?

    My employer is issuing an iPad 4 to me, but has informed me that "...I can expect no privacy" with regard to any information on it. What has me concerned is that my employer has also requested that I use my Persoanl iTunes account to syc and update the iPad.  I am concerend with my personal privacey, as I have two other iPads that use this account regualary.
    My question is: How can I use iTunes to update etc. the company iPad using iTunes without compromising my personal information?
    What I have done is to set up a different sign in (is that called an Apple ID?) within iTunes (I now have two different names I can use to sign in to iTunes). They both still use the same iTunes and my personal apps and information appear to be available to my second sign in name (the second sign in name is what I intend to use for the company iPad). When I sync the company iPad how do/can I keep my persoanl information from being syc'd automatically to the comapany iPad?

    Hi herbie13!
    It sounds like you will still want to link your iPad and computer, but you want to prevent the iPad from syncing information from your computer to your iPad. I have an article here for you that can help tell you how to set this up:
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    You will want to follow the steps here to set up the iPad for syncing, but when it comes time to sync, you'll just want to make sure that the boxes for syncing the multitude of items that you can sync remain unchecked so that none of that information gets synced into the iPad.
    Another note: your second Apple ID will not be able to access the apps, music, movies, tv shows, etc., that you have purchased under your primary Apple ID. Even though it seems that the secondary Apple ID still has access to those items, that is just because you are viewing your second Apple ID through the iTunes Store section on your computer and you have those items saved locally on your computer. You will need to repurchase and download all of the content that you wish to use again on your second Apple ID, if that is what you wish to solely use on this iPad.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
