How to display a db record with a variable number of joined records

I'm building a website for an airshow http://www.hollisterairshow.com and the organiser would like to post a list of things he needs for the show and have people respond via the website. For example, he might need 20 tents and potentially up to 20 people could respond, each offering one tent, or fewer people could each offer several tents. I'd like to create a view showing the item needed and underneath it one row for each offer he receives. I already have a couple of tables defined, one called "needs" and the other called "offers" , the "offers" table has a column called "needId" which is the index from the needs table.
So far I have created a recordset to join the tables but each row contains the need and the offer so I'm seeing the need repeated on each row and I only want to see it once. Here's the SQL generated by DW CS4
SELECT needs.needId, needs.title, needs.`description`, needs.quantity, needs.needMet, offers.needId, offers.offerId, offers.name, offers.email, offers.phone, offers.quantity, offers.`comment`
FROM needs, offers
WHERE needs.needId = offers.needId
ORDER BY needs.title
I'm sure there must be a simple solution to this but I'm unable to figure it out. I'm new to SQL and doing this as a volunteer for the airshow.
Thanks,
Tony

Thanks so much, for pointing this out. This looks like it'll do what I need. I think I understand the code so I'll modify it and try it.
It looks like it will create an output that looks something like this
Need1    Offer 1
             Offer 2
             Offer 3
Need 2     Offer 1
               Offer 2
etc....
This is certainly workable. Ideally I'd like to create something like this
Need 1
     Offer 1
     Offer 2
     Offer 3
Need 2
     Offer 1
     Offer 2
Is there a way to do this? Would I need a different recordset or am I still looking at a layout issue?
Thanks again for the help.

How do I submit to procedure with a variable number of controls in portlet?

I need to submit to a stored procedure but my portlet has a variable number of controls. How do I do this?
In the past I have always had an input parameter for each control. In this case the number of controls vary at runtime. Is there a way to submit to a procedure that takes some type of array of controls as an input parameter.
Don

Another way to do this is to apply a gradient for the background of your block.
If you place the blue at 40% and the white at the same percentage, the transition is abrupt and looks like what you need.
Here is an exemple, where the cyan marker is hidden behind the white one in the gradient.
Of course, if you use something like that, you must have one object style for each height as the bar will move with the frame.

How to display the message along with a value using BBP_CHECK_BADI

Hi Gurus,
I need to display a message dynamically when the user create's a shopping cart. I am using Check_badi for this. i.e., I need to display the buyer number and amount left for him dynamically. I am storing both of them in variables and don't know how to display the messages laong with some message " the amount left for <XXXXXX> is <$$$$$$$$>". Can you help me out.
Thanks,

Hi,
you can use the function module 'BBP_PD_MSG_ADD'. This is the function module normally used for the displaying the error messages in SRM.
See wether you can use already available error messages , use the transaction SE91 , and the message class being BBP_PD

How can I make the popup with empty fileds and create new record?

I would like to use a popup to create new record.
I created a af:popup by drag and drop a VO from data control to jsff. then, I created a button and place a af:showPopupBehavior. I was able to popup window by click the button.
however, the window filled with the information from the 1st record. and when I select a record in table and click popup, the popup is filled with that record.
How can I make the popup with empty fileds and create new record by saving the popup?
Thanks

You can have edit and new buttons, in the PopupFetchEvent identify button source (using popupFetchEvent.getLaunchSourceClientId()) if new button clicked clear the binding using below code.
If you want to see empty fields, in the popup PopupFetchEvent clear the input component bindings.
resetBindingValue("#{bindings.<componentid>.inputValue}", null);
    public static void resetBindingValue(String expression, Object newValue) {
        FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        Application app = ctx.getApplication();
        ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
        ELContext elContext = ctx.getELContext();
        ValueExpression valueExp = elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext,expression,Object.class);
        Class bindClass = valueExp.getType(elContext);
        valueExp.setValue(elContext,newValue);
    }

How to generate report with dynamic variable number of columns?

How to generate report with dynamic variable number of columns?
I need to generate a report with varying column names (state names) as follows:
SELECT AK, AL, AR,... FROM States ;
I get these column names from the result of another query.
In order to clarify my question, Please consider following table:
CREATE TABLE TIME_PERIODS (
PERIOD     VARCHAR2 (50) PRIMARY KEY
CREATE TABLE STATE_INCOME (
     NAME     VARCHAR2 (2),
     PERIOD     VARCHAR2 (50)     REFERENCES TIME_PERIODS (PERIOD) ,
     INCOME     NUMBER (12, 2)
I like to generate a report as follows:
AK CA DE FL ...
PERIOD1 1222.23 2423.20 232.33 345.21
PERIOD2
PERIOD3
Total 433242.23 56744.34 8872.21 2324.23 ...
The TIME_PERIODS.Period and State.Name could change dynamically.
So I can't specify the state name in Select query like
SELECT AK, AL, AR,... FROM
What is the best way to generate this report?

HT1349 how can you track you ipod with only serial number ]

2nd Generation ipod Touch

Hello, Tommyty,
I am sorry you have lost your iPod. You don't yet seem to understand that its serial number is not tracked electronically. Here is my attempt at explaining the same thing that Limnos and stevejobsfan0123 have already told you.
Tommytj wrote: ... HT1349 how can you track you ipod with only serial number ] ...
Only by physically looking at the iPod's serial number.
Tommytj wrote: i need to find my ipod can anyone help me find a way to track my ipd touch with only a serial number using icloud.
No.
Nobody can help you with that request because iCloud and "Find My iPod touch" do not work that way.
If you cannot see the iPod, you cannot track its serial number. Unless someone sees the serial number, nobody can track it.
Regardless of whether you have properly installed and enabled "Find My iPod touch", iCloud does not track your iPod's serial number. This is true even when you or someone else can see your iPod's serial number.
Regardless of how much you wish iCloud could track your iPod's serial number, it cannot.
"Find My iPod touch" can sometimes track an iPod's location but only under the specific circumstances Limnos has already explained to you.
If "Find My iPod touch" cannot locate your iPod by its location, there is no iCloud way to find it. In that case, the only way to identify your missing iPod is for you or someone else to physically look at it.
Perhaps you will be successful with one of these alternative possibilities for recovering your iPod:
• you can physically search and find your misplaced iPod
• someone may it returned in response to a reward that you offer
• the police may find it after you have reported it stolen

Please do have a look at the below mentioned query.
select * from emp where empnm like 'B%';Now suppose it will display 10 rows. But I want to display first 5 rows out of them.
How can I do that? I tried this with rownum and rowid. It worked because the records are in order,
but if those records are in arbitrary order, now what? What should be done here?

How to display the info visually with the help of data present in the DB

I need to reserve a resource for a particular period of time,When i finished in
specify the date & time (ie start time and end time).
I need to give a report for the particular day by displaying the timing details visually( ie by shading the cell) in the table formatt
for example if I enter the resource name as printer and mention the start time (6:00)and end time(7:00)
Based on the specified time(ie start time and end time) for the particular resource which are present in the Database, The displaying table's cell
(the table that contains time in x axis,resource name in y-axis & each cell represent 1/2 hour )should be shaded. (ie 6:00 to 6:30 & 6:30 to 7:00 cells are to be shaded)
hope u understand my problem
Plz help me in this regards....
Thank u in advance

Hi,
to display the header first append the header as the first record and then append your data.
to remove comma seperator use the following code:
replace all occurences of ',' with space.
then condense.
and last u can download data to presentation and application servers at the same time using 'gui_download' and datasets.
Thanks & Regards,
Sudheer.

How to display double byte characters with system.out.print?

Hi, I'm a newbie java programmer having trouble to utilize java locale with system io on dos console mode.
Platform is winxp, jvm1.5,
File structure is:
C:\myProg <-root
C:\myProg\test <-package
C:\myProg\test\Run.java
C:\myProg\test\MessageBundle.properties <- default properties
C:\myProg\test\MessageBundle_zh_HK.properties <- localed properties (written in notepad and save as Unicode, window notepad contains BOM)
inside MessageBundle.properties:
test = Hello
inside Message_zh_HK.properties:
test = 喂 //hello in big5 encoding
run.java:
package test;
import java.util.*;
public class Run{
public static void main(String[] args){
    Locale locale = new Locale("zh","HK");
    ResourceBundle resource =
        ResourceBundle.getbundle("test.MessageBundle", locale);
    System.out.println(resource.getString("test"));
}//main
}//classwhen run this program, it'll kept diplay "hello" instead of the encoded character...
then when i try run the native2ascii tool against MessageBundle_zh_HK.properties, it starts to display monster characters instead.
Trying to figure out what I did wrong and how to display double byte characters on console.
Thank you.
p.s: while googling, some said dos can only can display ASCII. To demonstrate the dos console is capable of displaying double byte characters, i wrote another helloWorld in chinese using notepad with C# and compile using "csc hello.cs", sure enough, console.write in c# allowed me to display the character I was expecting. Since dos console can print double byte characters, I must be missing something important in this java program.

after google a brunch, I learned that javac (hence java.exe) does not support BOM (byte order mark).
I had to use a diff editor to save my text file as unicode without BOM in order for native2ascii to convert into a ascii file.
Even the property file is in ascii format, I'm still having trouble to display those character in dos console. In fact, I just noticed I can use system.out.println to display double byte character if I embedded the character itself in java source file:
public class Run {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws UnsupportedEncodingException{
          String msg = "中文";    //double byte character
                try{
                System.out.println(new String(msg.getBytes("UTF-8")) + " new string"); //this displays fine
                catch(Exception e){}
                Locale locale = new Locale("zh", "HK");
          ResourceBundle resource = ResourceBundle.getBundle("test.MessagesBundle", locale);
                System.out.println(resource.getString("Hey"));      //this will display weird characterso it seems like to me that I must did something wrong in the process of creating properties file from unicode text file...
