How to get custom columns from Database in BO Universe

Hi,
We have 'n' databases. All the databases have identical tables and views but some tables in few database have custom columns.
Ex. 'database1' has table 'sites' with the following columns
       1. sitenumber
       2. sitename
       3. siteaddress
       4. phone
       5. email
'database2' has table 'sites' with the following columns
       1. sitenumber
       2. sitename
       3. siteaddress
       4. phone
       5. email
       6. IsDepot
The condition says that
"If IsDepot field is present in the site table then list sites where IsDepot equals 0 or null otherwise list all sites"
How do i create a condition at the universe level which checks whether the object 'IsDepot" is present in the database or not.
A single universe needs to be created for this purpose

Hi,
We have implemented a solution for the IsDepot problem as mentioned above.
It is not done at the BO Universe level but at the SQL Server database level.
Steps Followed:
1. Created a stored procedure which checks the 'syscolumns' table for available fields
2. The SP creates a temp table with a value list based on previously mentioned conditions
3. This temp table can be used in the universe or a condition can be used to filter data based on this temp table.
Thanks,
Arun

How to get string value from database table using Visual Studio 2005?

Please some one guide me.

As I said in the other thread, this really isn't the place to ask questions about a database API unrelated to the Illustrator SDK. You're far more like to find people familliar with your problem on a forum that is dedicated to answering those kinds of questions instead.

How to get multiple rows from database table?

hello !
I need to get multiple rows from a OLEDB database table and display them on a table object.
I did "Wrap in subfrom" on the table, set subform of the table to "flowed", and checked "Repeat row for each data item" of Row1 of the table.
But I can get only one row on the table object.
I need your help.
Thanks

Hi,
best practices when deleting multiple rows is to do this on the business service, not the view layer for performance reasons. When you selected the rows to delete and press submit, then in a managed bean you access thetable instance (put a reference to a managed bean from the table "binding" property") and call getSeletedRowKeys. In JDeveloper 11g, ADF Faces returns the RowKeySet as a Set of List, where each list conatins the server side row key (e.g. oracle.jbo.Key) if you use ADF BC. Then you create a List (ArrayList) with this keys in it and call a method exposed on the business service (through a method activity in ADF) and pass the list as an argument. On the server side you then access the View Object that holds the data and find the row to delte by the keys in the list
Example 134 here: http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/#134 provides you with the code

How to get Date value from database and display them in a drop down list?

Hello.
In my Customers table, I have a column with Date data type. I want to create a form in JSP, where visitors can filter Customers list by year and month.
All I know is this piece of SQL that is convert the date to the dd-mm-yyyy format:
SELECT TO_CHAR(reg_date,'dd-mm-yyyy') from CustomersAny ideas of how this filtering possible? In my effort not to sound like a newbie wanting to be spoonfed, you can provide me link to external notes and resources, I'll really appreciate it.
Thanks,

Hi
What part is your biggest problem?? I am not experienced in getting data out of a database, but the way to get a variable amount of data to show in a drop down menu, i have just messed around with for some time and heres how i solved it... In my app, what i needed was, a initial empty drop down list, and then using input from a text-field, users could add elements to a Vector that was passed to a JComboBox. Heres how.
package jcombobox;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.Vector;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Main extends JApplet implements ActionListener {
    private Vector<SomeClass> list = new Vector<SomeClass>();
    private JComboBox dropDownList = new JComboBox(list);
    private JButton addButton = new JButton("add");
    private JButton remove = new JButton("remove");
    private JTextField input = new JTextField(10);
    private JPanel buttons = new JPanel();
    public Main() {
        addButton.addActionListener(this);
        remove.addActionListener(this);
        input.addActionListener(this);
        buttons.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        buttons.add(addButton);
        buttons.add(remove);
        add(dropDownList, "North");
        add(input, "Center");
        add(buttons, "South");
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        if (e.getSource() == addButton) {
            list.addElement(new SomeClass(input.getText()));
            input.setText("");
        } else if (e.getSource() == remove) {
            int selected = dropDownList.getSelectedIndex();
            dropDownList.removeItemAt(selected);
    public void init(String[] args) {
        setSize(400,300);
        getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        getContentPane().add(new Main());
}And that "SomeClass" is show here
package jcombobox;
public class SomeClass {
    private String text;
    public SomeClass(String input) {
        text = input;
    public String toString() {
        return text;
}One of the things i struggled a lot with was to get the dropdown menu to show some usefull result. If the list just contains class references it will show the memory code that points to that class. Thats where the toString cones in handy. But it took me some time to figure that one out, a laugh here is welcome as it should have been obvious :-)
When the app is as simple as this one, using a <String> vector would have been easier, but this is just to demonstrate how to place classes in a vector and get some usefull info out of it, hope this answered some of your question :-)
The layout might have been easier to write, than using the toppanel created by the JApplet and then the two additional JPanels, but it was just a small app brewed together in 15 minutes. Please comments on my faults, so that i can learn of it.
If you need any of the code specified more, please let me know. Ill be glad to,

How to get all request from database between two dates in servlets

I am having a servlet in which i am I accepting two form values i.e 'fromdate' and 'todate' by using req.getParameter(fromdate & todate).
Now i have to query a table called REQUEST which has 4 columns like req_id, name, createdate and status.
In the servlet I would like to retrieve all the request during that period say for example. between 1st July to 31stJuly, and then display it on the browser with all req_id(first column in the table) having a hyperlink to another XML file which consists of all the details when a user had send his request in the month of July.
The output on the browser is preferable in a Table format which has to be created dynamically depending the number of request.
Kindly let me know how I can proceed with this .
Thanks,
Regards,
Lijoy

The topic seems a little broad.
The SQL would look something like
select req_id, name, createdate, status
from request
where createdate > fromdate and <= todate

How to get images dynamically from database without file paths in the table field

I have a MS-Access database. I am working with ASP.NET. In the database there is product table in which I have "CodeNo" as a field which is a text field, and the product codes like "SM-R-2035". I also have another field "Image" which is also a text field and which have a file path in it corresponding to the particular product Image (e.g. Images\Products\SM-R-2035.jpg). So far every thing is ok. I have to update this site very frequently and lots of images are added each and every time. Its a tedious work to type the paths and file name every time and it also take a lot of time.
What I am asking is : Is it possible to get images from a specific folder at runtime which is referenced by the "code no" itself and not the file path from the database. (Say at run time the "code no" is referenced from the database and the corresponding image is loaded dynamically from the specified folder). In other word I want to avoid the tedious work of typing.
Can any one help with this issue. Any other simple suggestions are welcome.

All you need to do is simple concatenation to obtain the path for the image file. You didn't mention whether you are using VB.Net, C# or some other language to do your coding.
If the code in your database is SM-R-2035, the file name is SM-R-2035.jpg and the path to the images foilder is Images\Products\SM-R-2035.jpg, Conceptually here is what you need to do:
dim code_var
dim path_var
code_var = the code you obtain from your relevant field in the database
path_var = "Images\Products\" & code_var & ".jpg"
Now path_var is what you would call to obtain the image from your images folder.

How to get log information from database server?

Oracle 9.2 in Unix
we got blocking error in the production database last midnight for 40 min and nothing was being processed during that time which delayed our production night batch process. Then it was gone after 40min. I like to know what was happening during that time in the database. My question is where I can find error in the database server? In bdump? Appreciate any ideas.
Thanks
S.

If you have jobs regularly collect statspack report, then it will be easier to troubleshoot. You can just pull the report from the time period.
A couple of things you can check if there's any storage issue during the time, like some backup or other jobs running taken all OS storage, so Oracle hung because no space to archive logs. Usually this will log errors in alert.log but if bdump destination also full, the error will not be logged.
Check OS activity during the time frame, what's CPU and IO activity. See if you have sar installed and configured
check OS message file.

How to get a column from a JTable whose columns may have been reordered

Hi,
After I have collected the indicies of the selected rows into an array, I now want to get a specific column. I am trying to use getColumnIndex method of the tableColumnModel. I don't know what to use for a paramater because I originally created the JTable as a vector of vectors. Can someone give me a detailed description of what to do? I am very new to Java.
Thanks!

You most likely want to look at the method JTable.convertColumnIndexToModel(int).
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/javax/swing/JTable.html#convertColumnIndexToModel(int)
This should allow you to convert a column number you are used to into the new column number.

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

If the data is on a remote server (for example, PHP running on a web server, talking to a MySQL server) then you do this in an AIR application the same way you would do it with any Flex application (or ajax application, if you're building your AIR app in HTML/JS).
That's a broad answer, but in fact there are lots of ways to communicate between Flex and PHP. The most common and best in most cases is to use AMFPHP (http://amfphp.org/) or the new ZEND AMF support in the Zend Framework.
This page is a good starting point for learning about Flex and PHP communication:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex_php.html
Also, in Flash Builder 4 they've added a lot of remote-data-connection functionality, including a lot that's designed for PHP. Take a look at the Flash Builder 4 public beta for more on that: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder4/

How to get the column index inside a dataTable

Hello,
before I get staked, there are multiple threads handling familiar topics to the one I'm questioning about but none gives an anwer. If there is one, I'm propably to less skilled to see it.
So here is my Problem: I've build a web-interface to a time-recording system. The hours worked on a certain project are displayed in a dataTable component which is generated out of a mySQL Query. Each entry (column/row) contains a inputText component to display and edit the specific value.
Editing one of these inputText elements now fires a valueChangeEvent which reads the new value and stores it in the database. For that cause I need to know the row- and column-index of the inputText component that fired the event.
Using the getClientId method from the valueChangeEvent I get some Information which makes it possible to calculate the row/column index. A typical clientID looks like "form_table:mainTable:0:_id14". "form_table" is the ID of the form the dataTable is in. "mainTable" is the id of the dataTable component. "0" is the row the component is in. And finally "_id14" stands for the id randomly given to the inputText component by JSF.
My Problem is now, that though I can calculate the column out of the[i] "_id14", this calculation is hardcoded. So everytime I add a component in before the dataTable, the calculation needs to be adjusted in the code.
The Questions:
- How to force a sensefull id indicating a column-index for the inputText components inside the columns of a dataTable?
- Nicer since no workaround: How to get the column-index inside the dataTable on a natural way? (e.g. out of the valueChangeEvent the specific inputText component fires)
After some investigation here on the board and on the net I know multiple ways to get the row index, (Things like component-binding and so on) but I can't find a answer on how to get the column-index.
Thanks to all answers and/or links to things my eyes missed while searching for one.

...then index 0 becomes index 1 and my program doesn't work properlyThe program works properly, just not as you expect it to.
As you've noticed the table gives you the flexibility to move columns around. So if you move column 0 to column 1, why would you expect to still use 0 as the index? The table manages the reordering of columns for you to make sure the data being displayed in each table column comes from the correct column in the data model.
You can manage this yourself using one of the following methods (I forget which one):
table.convertColumnIndexToModel(int viewColumnIndex)
table.convertColumnIndexToView(int modelColumnIndex)
Or, you can get data from the data model directly:
table.getModel().getValueAt(row, 0);
