How to define a constant in TSQL ?

I need to define a group of int constants and use them by a group of functions .
so how I define a constant ?
and how to make it accessible by multiple functions ?

Hi,
I am guessing that you are developer by your nickname, so i will add something for developers :-)
This is actually a good question and the answer is that you can use database (and this is where this forum come to help you, and
Kalman Toth gave you the basic answer), but if your need is for application that you are developing then there are several more option which you need to check what is best for you.
define a group of int constants in application can be done:
>> Using database table (best for big collection or a Collection that you need some changing)
>> Using ini file (very useful for constant Collection)
>> Using app config file (useful for constant Collection, remember that changing the file will restart the app and all users sessions will end in some cases)
>> Using static class
and so on
I hope this is useful :-)

How to use a constant defined as a concat of char values in an IN clause

Greetings,
I defined a CONSTANT as a concatenation of values and attempted to use it in an IN clause without success ...
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE PKG_TEST AS
Q_IDS CONSTANT VARCHAR2(25) : = '''3'''||','||'''14'''||','||'''16'''||','||'''18'''||','||'''24''';
procedure insert_test;
END PKG_TEST;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY PKG_TEST AS
PROCEDURE insert_test as
BEGIN
insert into test1
select *
from test_table
where q_id in ( Q_IDS );
END insert_test;
END PKG_TEST;
I'm guessing this doesn't work because the CONSTANT is being treated as one long string as opposed to a succession of comma separated values.
Is there a way to do this?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thank you.

One example:
SQL> ed

How to define a process level constant to be used inside a BPM Object?

I need to define a constant with the name of the process of the instance that it is executing.
I have a BPM Object that it is shared with multiple processes.
Inside that BPM Object I have a method that needs the name of the process it is running.
Is there any way to define a constant visible anywhere in the process? By anywhere I mean inside an BP-Method, not in an Automatic Activity.

Not sure if this what you're looking for, but in a samples project named 'ExpenseReimbursement' there is a way to set and get global Process Options.
It might not be suitable for your problem (and maybe not the cleanest solution), but such a setup might be used to construct a globally available variable.
Kind regards,

How to reference a Constants.as actionscript in another actionscript class

Hi,
How can I use constant variables from a Constatnst file (.as file) in another actionscript class?
Thanks.

What id I don't have the Constants.as not defined as a class.
Constants.as
public static const BASE_NAME = "ABC";

I can't import is file as its not a class file, right?
So, how can I access BASE_NAME, etc.
In a mxml file, I use the <mx:Script source="/../Constants.as"/>

Norbert
The schema location used to register the XML schema with XML DB does not need to be a valid URL for accessing the XML Schema
I can use the same URL , for instance
http://xmlns.example.scom/xsd/myXMLSchema.xsd
on machines dbserver1, and dbserver2. The only reason some people choose to use the hostname / portnumber convention is that this makes it possible to validate the XML Instance documents against the copy of the XML schema stored in the XML DB repository using an external tool like XMLSpy without have to add entries to XMLSpy's OASIS catalog files.
I am concerned about the message you are getting. That's not correct AFAICT but I'd need to see the complete XML Schema and Instance to be sure.

How to define BPC architecture?

Hi All,
Iu2019m a BI and BPS consultant and Iu2019m doing a prototype for evaluating BPC for Sales Planning and I need some help.
Process flow as:
a.     Extract sales from COPA (amount and quantities);
b.     Copy Actual to Budget version;
c.     Create new customers;
d.     Delete old customers;
e.     Calculate the seasonality of sales & and adjust budget;
f.     Load & adjust prices
g.     Load & adjust sales costs
h.     Calculate Net Revenue
i.     Calculate costs
My file format is as given below:
Account|Category|Time|RptCurrency|Entity|Customer|Product|Amount|Quantity
Questions:
1- There is a specific KF to load quantity or I should use another account? If so how do I load the unit measures?
2- I tried to load my file in u201CEuru201D but I received an error. The upload only finished OK when I changed the currency to u201CLCu201D. There is any trick?
3- In customer dimension, I add the sales org. attribute but it didnu2019t work out because a customer can have more than one sales org. There is any way to define a compound key for a dimension?
4- Where can I find relevant documentation about BPC?
Thanks for reading my post.
Regards, Fred

Hi Shyam!
Thanks for your answer.
1. I followed your suggestion and load the data twice (one for amount and another for quantity) but I still have de unit measure problem (KG, TON, etc.). Any suggestion about how to handle this situation?
2. Yes is easy for me to convert LC in any other currency after the data load. But the problem is that I must load data in multiple currencies (EUR, USD)u2026
3. No it didnu2019t work out. Let me give you an example:
Customer       Sales Org            Distribution Channel
100001      AX01          1
100001      AX02          2
When I tried to process dimension I received the following message u201CMember ID must be   uniqueu201D. Any other idea about how to define the compound key Customer and Sales Org?

Frederico

Here is an example right out of the Oracle documentation and the syntax for adding PK since you mention adding a composite PK.

How to define a Custom Action in VC 6.0 ?

Hi all
I want to know how to define a custom action like for a check box UI Element, I want particular action to be performed when it is checked ? How can I achieve this in VC 6.0
Please feel free to ask me if my question is unclear ?
Regards
Kapil

Hi,
Try adding an expression element on your form.
Go to the Expression control properties and in the Expression attribute enter
IF(@Selected==true,"X"," ")
@Selected is the checkbox. For your function call input use the expression element and not the checkbox.
Hope this helps. Let me know if it works.
Thanks.

How to define ABC class field in the Customer Master Sales tab

HI All,
can any one let me know how to define the new ABC class in the Customer Master Sales tab like below.
u2013 A (> 6,000,000 )
u2013 B (> 1,000,000u20136,000,000 )
u2013 C (> 100,000u20132,000,000 )
u2013 D (< 100,000 )
can any one let me know how to define and path in IMG.
Thanks in advance.
kumar reddy.

In my opinion, you don't have any such std table/view to update ABC Classification field. You might need to update relevant infostructure based on your requirement, such as sales, invoiced, etc..
Try with following, based on your requirement:
MC(A
SIS: Customer,Inc.Orders - Selection
MC+A
SIS: Customer Returns, Selection
MC+E
SIS: Customer, Sales - Selection
MC+I
SIS: Customer Credit Memos - Selec.

How to define a Value for an Attribute of an Class

Hi,
How to define a Value for an Attribute of a Class ...
( I need to change the value of an Attribute of a class in standard program ....
Ex...
   cl_hrce_masterswitches=>infotype_framework_is_active
Here infotype_framework_is_active is the attribute .. its value in standard program is 'X'... Now i need to change it as ' '.
How to define it and set value as ' '.

Hello Surendar
The static attribute INFOTYPE_FRAMEWORK_IS_ACTIVE is read-only and there is not SETTER method to manipulate its value.
However, the attribute is filled in the CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR:
METHOD class_constructor.
    IF ce_is_active                 = true OR
       global_payroll_is_active     = true OR
       mngmt_global_empls_is_active = true.
      infotype_framework_is_active = true.
      perid_infotype_is_active     = true.
    ELSE.
      infotype_framework_is_active = false.
      perid_infotype_is_active     = false.
    ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.
Thus, you need to analyze how attribute CE_IS_ACTIVE, GLOBAL_PAYROLL_IS_ACTIVE and MNGMT_GLOBAL_EMPLS_IS_ACTIVE are filled in the CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR.
For sure you will find customizing settings that are responsible for this.

How to define keys in target DSO

hi gurus!!
..can you please extrapolate on how to define key in target DSO and transformation logic.. (please refer to below discussion from for scenario from earlier posting)
thanks in advance
I have data from 3 datastore objects which I need to update one infocube. However, I need the data to come together to form one line per record. I've found that if I update the cube directly from the 3 DSO I get 3 lines rather than one, and if I update them all to a DSO and then to the cube, the same thing happens because I take the data from the change log.
If I go via an InfoSet, I can not do a delta upload to the cube.
I need this to run a min of once an hour.
Any tips or advice would be greatfully recieved.
Thanks
Alice
answer:::::
You need to have an common key fields set in all of the three transformations.
In your case it is probably:
The key in target DSO is: k1..k3
ODS1 - updates key k1, leaves k2, k3 empty
ODS2 - updates key k2, leaves k1, k3 empty
ODS3 - updates key k3, leaves k1, k2 empty.
If you have it that way, you will end up with three records, instead of one.
k1, empty, empty
empty, k2, empty
empty, empty, k3
To resolve this, all of the source DSO must be able to determine and set a common key part in the transformations.
Target ODS:
Key K1,
ODS1 - updates K1, key figures/characteristics from ODS1
ODS2, updates K1, key figures/characteristics from ODS2
ODS3, updates K1, key figures/characteristics from ODS3
result:
K1, key figures/characteristics from ODS1, then
K1, key figures/characteristics from ODS2 - result is - previous record's key is overwritten, but the key figures/characteristics are mapped to the correct infoobjects (depending on how you set the transformation....)
K1, key figures/characteristics from ODS3 - as for ODS2.
The final result:
K1, key figures/characteristics from ODS1, key figures/characteristics from ODS2, key figures/characteristics from ODS3.

Hi,
As thomas said you maintain your keys same as your source DSO's in the target DSO.This is how the procedure goes when no specification for the keys are given.So maintain same keys which are in the sources.

How to define tablespaces in Oracle 10g and how put tables on tablespaces

Hello,
I'm having trouble to define the structure of tablespaces and how to distribute the tables/indexes/lobs on these tablespaces.
Do you know some rules on how to define this?
What I have until now:
1) Put table indexes in separate tablespace
2) Put lobs in separate tablespace and use storage clause when defining the lob column. Not sure how many tablespaces to use, I have tables with millions of lobs and tables with just one lob (with row containing the lob).
3) Please fill more rules here ...
Thank you, Alex.

Long story: I received database and schema creation scripts defined in Oracle 9i. I want to redesign the tablespaces number/storage and also to change the distribution of tables into tablespaces.
As an example I will show how tablespaces are created now. There is one tablespace for indexes BLUE_AUTO_INDX and one for each EXTENT MANAGEMENT of:
- 64K for BLOB , name BLUE_K064_BLOB
- 64K for tables , name K064_NTAB
- 128K for tables, name BLUE_K128_NTAB
- 512K for CLOB , name BLUE_K512_CLOB
- 4M for BLOB , name BLUE_M004_BLOB
- 64M for CLOB , name BLUE_M064_CLOB
- 8M for tables , name BLUE_M008_NTAB
- 1M for tables , name BLUE_M001_NTAB
- 256M for tables, name BLUE_M256_NTAB
Definition of each tablespace is like:
CREATE TABLESPACE BLUE_AUTO_INDX DATAFILE 'BLUE_AUTO_INDX01.DBF' SIZE 200M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 100M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 64M SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
CREATE TABLESPACE BLUE_K064_BLOB DATAFILE 'BLUE_K064_BLOB01.DBF' SIZE 20M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 64K SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
CREATE TABLESPACE BLUE_K064_NTAB DATAFILE 'BLUE_K064_NTAB01.DBF' SIZE 20M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 20M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 64K SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
CREATE TABLESPACE BLUE_K128_NTAB DATAFILE 'BLUE_K128_NTAB01.DBF' SIZE 20M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 128K SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
CREATE TABLESPACE BLUE_K512_CLOB DATAFILE 'BLUE_K512_CLOB01.DBF' SIZE 20M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 512K SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
CREATE TABLESPACE BLUE_M004_BLOB DATAFILE 'BLUE_M004_BLOB01.DBF' SIZE 20M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 4M SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
CREATE TABLESPACE BLUE_M064_CLOB DATAFILE 'BLUE_M064_CLOB01.DBF' SIZE 400M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 100M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 64M SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
CREATE TABLESPACE BLUE_M008_NTAB DATAFILE 'BLUE_M008_NTAB01.DBF' SIZE 200M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 100M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 8M SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
CREATE TABLESPACE BLUE_M001_NTAB DATAFILE 'BLUE_M001_NTAB01.DBF' SIZE 100M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 50M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 1M SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
CREATE TABLESPACE BLUE_M256_NTAB DATAFILE 'BLUE_M256_NTAB01.DBF' SIZE 512M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 256M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 256M SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
Does this structure of tablespaces ok? I mean if the logic of one tablespace for different EXTENT SIZEs looks ok?
