How to Edit SQL Query in Crystal XI?

Post Author: sk8skiier
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I'm wondering if any of you can help me. We've recently upgraded from Crystal Reports 6 to Crystal Reports XI, the version on my machine is 11.0.0.2178 and is the Professional version.
In Crystal 6, it was very easy to change the data that you wanted returned by editing the sql query, but in XI, I can only find a way to view the query, not edit it. Am I missing something?
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

Good news and bad news. Bad news is you can't edit the viewed sql statement anymore in any version of Crystal 9 or higher.Good news is you can write custom sql commands instead of dealing with having to join tables. So if you know the sql you want to produce that was in version 6 just copy and paste it into the add command feature and edit it in there and you will be exactly where you want to be.

How to enable show SQL Query in Crystal report tool

Hi,
How can we enable the show SQL Query under Database tab in crystal report...
We have a requirement to modify the SQL query in Crystal reports.
Thanks,
Gana

Gana,
CR has an "Add Command" feature that will allow you to use hand-coded SQL as your data source.
Look at Defining an SQL Command in CR's online help (F1).
If a command was used in the original report creation, it's a simple matter to go in and edit that SQL.
If the report was not originally built w/ a Command you may find it difficult to switch over. In most cases it easier to start over from scratch, creating a new, blank report, that uses the command.

EDITING SQL SCRIPT IN CRYSTAL REPORTS

I just installed Version 12 and am trying to edit SQL scripts in Crystal Reports that were created in Version 8. When opening the Database tab on the Main Menu, the Query Panel is greyed out and not accessible. I can view the SQL Query but cannot edit it. If someone can advise me what to do I would be very appreciative.

Hi Frank,
Here is the SAP Note that says that you cannot edit SQL from Crystal 9 and later
Symptom
In Crystal Reports (CR) 8.5 and earlier, it is possible to edit the SQL statement in the 'Show SQL Query' dialog box. Doing so allows the report designer to modify the SQL statement that CR generates. Starting with Crystal Reports version 9, users are no longer able to modify the SQL in the 'Show SQL Query' window.
How can you control the SQL statement that Crystal Reports sends to the database?
Resolution
To control the SQL statement that Crystal Reports 9 and later uses, use the 'Add Command' feature to create a Command Object. The 'Add Command' feature replaces the ability to edit SQL statements in the 'Show SQL Query' dialog box. Use this dialog box to write your own SQL command (query) which will be represented in Crystal Reports as a Table object.
More Information
Additional information about creating and using Command Objects ('Add Command') can be found on our support site and within the Online Help file contained in Crystal Reports.

Help with SQL query into Crystal

Afternoon all,
I am trying to convert the following SQL query into Crystal by using the tables given in the query however the relationship given in the query is bit awkward, in a sense that I cannot create a relationship under Crystal desgin.
Here is the query
select count(order_progressed.order_no),reason_code
from order_progressed,lab_reasons, rework_groups
where
order_progressed.date_created=Today
and (order_progressed.order_status=from_gate
and lab_reasons.reason_code between from_reason and to_reason)
group by lab_reasons.reason_code
order by 2
We have three tables
1: Order_Progressed
2: Lab Reasons
3: Rework_Groups
Order_progressed can be linked with rework_group by Status (if you see the line order_progressed.order_status=from_gate)
However how to link the following line?
lab_reasons.reason_code between from_reason and to_reason
I mean when I try to link it by Lab Reasons.Reason Code to From_reason, to reason, it doesn't seem to work.
The report is grouped by Lab Reasons. Reason Code, so I really have to some how create a relationship between Lab Reasons table and Rework_Group table.
This is what I get when I run the same query into Crystal using the relationship
SELECT lab_reasons.reason_code, order_progressed.date_created, order_progressed.order_no
FROM maxmast.lab_reasons lab_reasons, kevin.order_progressed order_progressed,
roger.rework_groups rework_groups
WHERE (order_progressed.order_status=rework_groups.from_gate) AND
((lab_reasons.reason_code=rework_groups.from_reason) AND
(lab_reasons.reason_code=rework_groups.to_reason)) AND (order_progressed.date_created>={ts
'2008-01-01 00:00:00'} AND order_progressed.date_created<={ts '2008-12-17 00:00:00'})
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Kind Regards
Jehanzeb

Sastry I didn't understand why did you use Lab_reasons.reason_code twice in your SQL.
What I have done since I posted this thread,
I created a command like this
Select *
from rework_groups,lab_reasons
where
lab_reasons.reason_code between from_reason and to_reason
Then I took out the lab_reasons table and rework_groups table, then I linked the order_status from Order_progressed table to From_gate of the newly created table (I called it Reason_Code).
This made the report running but it is crunching quite allot of numbers. I wonder if I made a mistake somewhere?
Oh and please note, I'd like to create an SQL (if need be) without the date entry which was done in the original SQL because I'd like to setup my own date range within Crystal Reports instead of getting passed by SQL itself.
This is how it looks like in Crystal now.
sae1_live
SELECT order_progressed.date_created, order_progressed.order_no, order_progressed.order_status
FROM kevin.order_progressed order_progressed
WHERE (order_progressed.date_created>={ts '2008-01-01 00:00:00'} AND
order_progressed.date_created<={ts '2008-12-17 00:00:00'})
EXTERNAL JOIN order_progressed.order_status={?sae1_live: Reason_Code.from_gate}
sae1_live
Select *
from rework_groups, lab_reasons
where lab_reasons.reason_code between from_reason and to_reason
EXTERNAL JOIN Reason_Code.from_gate={?sae1_live: order_progressed.order_status}

Hi,
Depends on datasource type but you could have a look at ODBC trace or if you have access to the SQL Server you could use profiler to monitor the session.

Modify SQL query in Crystal Reports 2013

Bonjour,
Je voulais savoir s'il était possible de modifier la requête SQL dans Crystal Reports 2013, car les bases de données de notre application pour bibliothèque utilise un format de date particulier qu'il nous faut corriger directement dans la requête SQL.
Merci pour vos informations.
Cordialement

Hello,
I wanted to know if it was possible to modify the SQL query in Crystal Reports 2013. Databases of our application library indeed use a particular date format that we need to fix directly into the SQL query.
Thank you for your information.
Best regards
Claude Marcilly
Cannes - France

Hi Claude,
If you are creating reports using tables then go in Database menu and click on show SQL query, this will show the SQL generated by crystal reports. Now go in database expert and expend your connection and double click on Add Command and past the query which was generated by Crystal and try to modify the date format and click OK.
Now you need to redesign your reports based on Add command.
or
If your reports datasource is Add command you can directly go in add command and change it.

Validate and Edit SQL Query Errors

I am trying to "Validate or Edit SQL Query" in APEX 3.0. When I open up the SQL Query its highlighted in red and when I click on the Validate or Edit button it gives me an error.
I modified my marvel.conf file to include:
AddType text/xml xbl
AddType text/x-component htc
and this still didnt take care of it. Any ideas and thank you in advance.
PS: OPS - Windows Server 2003
Upgraded from 1.6 to 3.0

I've gotten so used to command line editing, that I rarely us "ed". back in the days of DOS, the default editor was EDLIN - one of those goofy editors that only showed one line at a time, so it wasn't much of an improvement. you could switch to the old dos editor, but that wasn't much better (just checked, it's still there)

How to create sql query for item master with operator LIKE with variables?

hi all,
How to create sql query for item master with
operator LIKE(Contains,Start With,End With) with variables using query generator in SAP B1 ?
Jeyakanthan

Hi Jeyakanthan,
here is an example (put the like statement into the where field)
SELECT T0.CardCode, T0.CardName FROM OITM T0 WHERE T0.CardName Like '%%test%%'
The %% sign is a wildcard. If you need start with write 'test%%' and otherwise ends with '%%test'. For contains you need '%%test%%'. You also could combinate this statements like 'test%%abc%%'. This means starts with test and contains abc.

How to write sql query for counting pairs from below table??

Below is my SQL table structure.
user_id | Name | join_side | left_leg | right_leg | Parent_id
100001 Tinku Left 100002 100003 0
100002 Harish Left 100004 100005 100001
100003 Gorav Right 100006 100007 100001
100004 Prince Left 100008 NULL 100002
100005 Ajay Right NULL NULL 100002
100006 Simran Left NULL NULL 100003
100007 Raman Right NULL NULL 100003
100008 Vijay Left NULL NULL 100004
It is a binary table structure.. Every user has to add two per id under him, one is left_leg and second is right_leg... Parent_id is under which user current user is added.. Hope you will be understand..
I have to write sql query for counting pairs under id "100001". i know there will be important role of parent_id for counting pairs. * what is pair( suppose if any user contains both left_leg and right_leg id, then it is called pair.)
I know there are three pairs under id "100001" :-
1. 100002 and 100003
2. 100004 and 100005
3. 100006 and 100007
100008 will not be counted as pair because it does not have right leg..
But i dont know how to write sql query for this... Any help will be appreciated... This is my college project... And tommorow is the last date of submission.... Hope anyone will help me...
Suppose i have to count pair for id '100002'. Then there is only one pair under id '100002'. i.e 100004 and 100005

Sounds like this to me
DECLARE @ID int
SET @ID = 100001--your passed value
SELECT left_leg,right_leg
FROM table
WHERE (user_id = @ID
OR parent_id = @ID)
AND left_leg IS NOT NULL
AND right_leg IS NOT NULL
