How-To Display the Number of Records Returned from a List to the User?

We currently are using lists to identify accounts that meet various criteria. Because the territories vary from 4k to 60k customers the users have stated that they don't know the size of the list and therefore don't know if they need to refine the list. Currently they are exporting to Excel to look at the row count to see if they need to further refine their searches. This takes quite a while and while shuffling through many lists is a bit painful. Isn't there a way to just show the total records returned from the list down at the bottom of the screen where it allows you to see 25/50/75/100 records at a time?
There is probably a simple way to do this but it is a large user dissatisfier at the time because we simply don't know how to make this show up. Again we are using lists and not analytics for simple lists at this time.

Thanks Bobb. I can't believe that one wasn't in R1 :)
Is there a link to the items being worked in the next release by any chance?

How do I count the number of records returned in the CMIS query

How do I count the number of records returned in the query CMIS?
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ora:t:IDC:GlobalProfile WHERE ora:p:xRegionDefinition = \'RD_PROJETOS_EXCLUSIVOS\''}
Euler Homero

Hi Euler,
interestingly enough, the reference guide for CMIS ( http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/CMIS_Query_Language ) that I found does not mention the COUNT function at all. On the other hand it states that: "The SELECT clause identifies which virtual columns to return in the result set. It can be either a comma-separated list of one or more queryNames of properties that are defined by queryable object types or * for all virtual columns."
There are, however, some other posts like e.g. http://alfrescoshare.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/count-the-total-number-of-documents-in-alfresco-using-sql/ which state that they could make it working.
Having asked in the WebCenter Portal forum, I assume that your content repository is WebCenter Content. The CMIS doc for the Content is available here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e15813.pdf (no COUNT there either). It does, however, mention explicitly that "CMIS queries return a Result Set where each Entry object will contain only the properties that were specified in the query.". This means your could rather investigate the Result Set. Note that there are also other means than CMIS how to get the requested result set (e.g. calling a search service directly via so-called RIDC).
In the given context I am also interested what your use case is. OOTB CMIS in WebCenter Portal is used, for instance, in Content Presenter, where it is content rather than "parameters" what's displayed.

How do you limit the number of rows return from query?

How do you limit the number of rows return from query? Do all databases support this kind of feature?

i think the standard is limit
to get the top 30
select * from mytable LIMIT 30;returns the first 30 rows
also if you want a range
select * from mytable LIMIT 10,30;returns 30 rows starting from 10
this last one is useful for displaying ranges... something similar happens in these forums when viewing topics and messages

Getting the number of rows returned from ResultSet

Hi,
Does anyone know a method to get the number of rows returned with a query using the Resultset class?
Thanks.

Hi 281080,
If your database and JDBC driver support it, in order to use the solution that da-alexj has suggested, you need to create a 'scrollable' "ResultSet" -- the javadoc for method "createStatement()" (in class "java.sql.Connection") has more details.
However, I have found with Oracle 8.1.7.4 database and Oracle (thin) JDBC driver, that part of their implementation of the "last()" method (in class "java.sql.ResultSet") is to actually iterate through the entire "ResultSet" in order to reach the last row. If your "ResultSet" is very large (I tested it with a 100,000 row "ResultSet"), this will take a long time.
Just wanted to make you aware of that.
Of-course, this may be irrelevant to you since I didn't see any mention in your post of what database and JDBC driver you are using.
Hope this has helped you, anyway.
Good Luck,
Avi.

Variable to hold the number of records returned by the SQL Query.

Hi folks,
Is there any way to hold the number of records that could be returned by the SQL query we use to make a report?
If so, please do come up with the answer.
Cheers,
PCZ.

Hi there,
Well, there is no actual business requirement.
It is just the curiosity of mine.
I would like to handle
1) the number of records our report query returns or
2) the query itself
to write a better pl/sql code in any trigger/program unit, if any business logic beckons in future.
Cheers,
PCZ.

Returning the number of records retrieved by a query

Hi everyone,
I did a search on this question, but I'm still unclear as to why it's so difficult to retrieve the number of records returned by a query.
What is the easiest and most straight-foward way ?
Thanks,
Bob

Shay
I am confused. I still do not know how to achieve the count of records retrieved in a block. I have viewed the viewlet calculated field demo. I am unclear of what you were refering to when you said use the count as the function.
I did try setting function to be "get_block_property('myblock',query_hits)", but this always had value of zero. But I do not think this is what you meant.
Has anybody been able to answer the original question?

How to find the number of records in ods?

how to find the number of records in ods?
Pls suggest the solution apart going to the table of ods and seeing the number of records.
Is there any program or function module to see the number of records in ods?
For eg: SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS is a program which gives the detail (number of records) of infocube.

Hi,
I was looking at this and found the following tables that may be of help.
One of these tables will include a summary of the record count of all the tables in your system based on the last time each table had it's database statistics calculated:
DBSTATTADA
DBSTATTDB2
DBSTATTDB4
DBSTATTDB6
DBSTATTINF
DBSTATTMSS
DBSTATTORA
We run on an Oracle database so the table record counts can be taken from DBSTATTORA. Type in AZ in table selection field in SE16 to restrict the output to ODS (or DSO) tables only.
The record count is at the time indicated in the timestamp field. Obviously this is not real time but should not be too out of date - if it is you may be having performance issues and should get your DBA / Basis to run a full refresh of DB stats.
Hope this helps, alhtough not real time the table should give you a decent indication of the size of all your ODS objects (or any other table for that matter!)

How to limit the number of records in WebI Report

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to display the WebI Report data only if the number if record is less than 65k.
Incase if the records are more than 65k then the report should be blank and a text message needs to be displayed.
The client dont want to set the number of records either in universe or at the edit query at the report. They want to limit once the report is executed.
Please let me know if its possible to do it at the report level.
Thanks in advance!!
Best Regards
SAP BO

Optional prompts are not a problem.
Assuming you first query uses the following SQL statement
select a,b,c from t where x=y and z=@prompt(...)
The query for checking the number of rows should use the following SQL code
select count(*) from t where x=y and z=@prompt(...)
The original query should be modified as follows
select a,b,c from t where x=y and z=@prompt(...) AND (select count(*) from t where x=y and z=@prompt(...)) < 65000

How to set the number of records displayed at run time

Is it possible to set the number of records displayed block property at run time? The built-in 'GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY' can retrieve the number of RECORDS_DISPLAYED. But I can't find SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY to set this property. Is there anyway I can set this property programmatically? Thanks for any suggestions!

Bookmark Go to End
goal: How to vary the number of records displayed in a block
programmatically
fact: Oracle Forms Developer
fix:
Block property 'Number of Records Displayed' can not be changed during runtime
using SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY. However, it is still possible programmatically change
the visual appearance of the form so that it creates effect of changing this
property. To achieve such an effect follow these steps:
1. in Forms Builder, in the multirecord block define the new set of items.
The simplest way is to copy/paste the original item and rename created item.
2. set properties of these new items so that they are the same as the properties
of the original items. If these new items were copied from original items
then properties are already the same. Modify following properties
'Database item' on new items to value 'No'
'Synchronize with item' to the value of the original item
'Number of Items Displayed' to desired value.
'Visible' to 'No'
In other words, these new items are mirrors of original items.
3. code event, which is meant to trigger the change in block appearance.
This code should use SET_ITEM_PROPERTY built-in to set properties
like 'VISIBLE', 'ENABLED', 'NAVIGABLE', 'UPDATE_ALLOWED' and others
to desired value for items which are about to be displayed, then
move cursor to one of these just displayed items with GO_ITEM built-in
and then hide the previously displayed items.
Example:
Assume that the block is built on SCOTT.DEPT schema. Following will
change the set of displayed items
set_item_property('dept.mdeptno',visible,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdname',visible,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mloc',visible,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdeptno',enabled,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdname',enabled,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mloc',enabled,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdeptno',update_allowed,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdname',update_allowed,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mloc',update_allowed,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdeptno',navigable,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdname',navigable,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mloc',navigable,property_true);
go_item('dept.mdeptno');
set_item_property('dept.deptno',visible,property_false);
set_item_property('dept.dname',visible,property_false);
set_item_property('dept.loc',visible,property_false);

How to calculate the number of records in Multiprovider

Hi Experts
I have created a report based on the multiprovider (Consist of Cube and ODS)
I need count the number of records inside the multiprovider, how can i do it in the reporting level
Regards
Santosh

Hi,
You can use calculated key figure with replacement path variable.
Follow This:
1) From the context menu of the Key Figure directory, choose New Calculated Key Figure.
2) From the context menu for the Formula Variable, choose New Variable.
3) Choose the Processing type as Replacement Path.
4) In the next screen, select the Characteristic Info Object based on which the number of documents is to be displayed in the report (For example: Document Number / Order Number).
5) Choose Next.
In the Replace Variable with drop down box, choose Attribute Value.
In the Attribute drop down, select Characteristic Reference (Constant 1).
6)Choose Next.
On the Save Variable page, an overview of the settings made for the variable will be displayed.
Confirm the entries and Choose Finish.
7) If the Formula variable is directly assigned to the Calculated Key Figure, a warning Calculated Key Figure is not defined correctly will be displayed while executing the Query.
8) Properties of Calculated Key Figure dialog box, assign a Technical name for the CKF.
9) set the Time of Calculation to After Aggregation.
Hope this will help you.
Cheers,
DK

How to find the number of records per months in cube

Hi,
how to find the number of records per months for my all cubes?
Can i use the ListCube transaction to find totl number f records per cube monthwise ?
Jimmy

Hi,
Here is a program to generate no of records and list of ODS and Cubes in Active version.Schedule this program in background and create a cube to load this information and schedule to the data from the file generated by the program. Schedule this all per you requirement.
1.Copy the code into your Z<programname> from Se38.
2.change the FILENAME in CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' in the program to the location from where you can pick the information to load data to cube(eg Application server).
3.Save program.
4.Schedule the program in background as required
5.Create cube with infoobjects to hold no of records and Infoprovider name
6.Load this cube based on event after the program job is done.
Hence you can report on this cube to see no of records in CUBE or ODS in your box.
Please find the code below.

Rows Per Page doesn't affect the number of records displayed

I just updated from 3.2 to 4.0 this morning. When I change the Rows Per Page value in the action menu the report doesn't change and the number of records displayed stays at 10. The report has ~6000 records. I edited the report attributes and add the rows selector to the IR search bar. This doesn't change the behavior either. I noticed that if I change the rows per page in the action menu then the drop down select list is updated, but the report still doesn't change from 10. I tried paging to the next set of results and it still remains at 10.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Tony

Yes, Tony, I've seen this in several versions of APEX. In most cases, simply starting a new session was enough to force APEX to refresh the page and grab the new set of pagination directives. If that doesn't work, please give more info like: what type of report you are doing and what the Pagination values are. Please note the following:
Report Template
Pagination Scheme
Enable Partial Page Refresh
Display Position
Number of Rows/Number of Rows Item
Maximum Row Count

How can I limit the number of rows returned by a select stat

statement. I have a query where I return the number of stores
that are located in a given area.. I only want to return the
first twenty-five stores. In some instances there may be over
200 stores in a given location.
I know is SQL 7 that I can set the pagesize to be 25....
Anything similiar in Oracle 8i?
