How to handle CREATE or INSERT in JDBC

Hi experts,
i'm designing my idoc to JDBC scenario, but is it possible when the message arrives into the database to CREATE a table if it does not exist or to INSERT data if the table already exists?
Thanks in advance,
Regards.

Hi,
check some links on JDBC.

  • How to Handle Huge record count in JDBC

    Hi,

  • How many messsages can we insert using JDBC receiver adapter in to DB

    Hi Friends,
    We are having 30 JDBC receiver interfaces in my current implementation project; load of JDBC receiver interfaces was 50 k messages per day and Performing only INSERT operation on data base.
    We have created individual communication channel for every JDBC receiver interface and max concurrency value set in CC was 5.
    Now we are testing all interfaces in quality with all possible cases, but we found that JDBC receiver adapter unable to process 50 k messages per day, we are on PI 7.1 EHP1 SP7.
    Please share your experiences with JDBC adapter receiver like per day how many messages we can transfer.
    Thanks a Ton,

    Hi raj,
    I have seen some interfaces that deal with upload of 5000 rows at a rime.. I don't there will be a restriction in the no of messages that can be transferred using the JDBC adapter as such  unless until the requirement is so para-normal and in your case it is not

  • How to handle fieldnames ending with # in JDBC receiver?

    Hello Experts,
      I am developing a scenario JDBC to IDOC. I have 2 tables for  header & line item. I have to retrieve a header record first using sender JDBC & then for that header need to fetch the corresponding lineitems from second table.
        We cannot have data types defined in XI with fieldnames containing # or any other special charecter. Both DB tables contain fieldnames ending with #.
      For Sender JDBC, I managed it in SQL query using :
        Select abc, xyz# as xyz .... from tbname
    But for receiver JDBC we need to define a data type with the typical format ( Doccument format required for JDBC receiver).
    Please let me know how to handle this for JDBC receiver.
    Thanks in Advance & hope for a quick replies.
    Abhijeet.

    Hi Abhijeet,
    If you can write a query with join( you can call join query using JDBC adapter), i think this would be a fastest way and good approch rather than having 2 JDBC call.
    Another approch would be writing SP( stored procedure and then you can have your complete logic here). You can call SP using JDBC adapter.
    Eventhough query would be complex...it will be one time job.:)...I am not sure about data type for handling field names with special characters.
    Let me know if you need more details.

  • How to handle ORA-28001 error with JDBC thin driver ?

    Dear reader,
    As you all know, ORACLE returns error ORA-28001 upon a connection attempt when the user's password has expired.
    Handling the error in OCI is quite simple, thanks to the function OCIPasswordChange(). However, I have not been able to find a JAVA equivalent in the Oracle JDBC library.
    I have found a field called oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.set_new_password_string, and a field oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection.CONNECTION_PROPERTY_SET_NEW_PASSWORD, but I have really no idea on how to use them (if appropriate) so as to allow the user to change his/her password on the fly.
    I greatly appreciate having any advice from anyone who happened to be faced with that problem.
    Best regards.

  • How to handle BLOB field in receiver JDBC adapter into ABAP table

    Dear Experts,
    I am working in a synchronous scenario with Sender ABAP Proxy to Oracle Database as receiver via SAP PO 7.4.I will be calling a stored procedure view with fields ID, NAME,Age,*** and BLOB (Image binary).
    1. The response from Oracle Database field BLOB is to be stored in ABAP table.Would I have to write any JAVA program to read the BLOB or the receiver JDBC adapter will handle it and store in a table by using ABAP proxy once it reaches ECC.
    2. If yes, would the JAVA program have to deal with other 4 fields.
    3. Can I use a UDF mapping to this BLOB field.
    Regards
    Rebecca...

    Dear Praveen,
    Thanks for your response...
    Please correct me if I am wrong.
    1. For 1-1 response mapping for BLOB field, I will use just use the below UDF code.
    public static byte[] hexStringToByteArray(String s) { 
                int len = s.length(); 
                byte[] data = new byte[len / 2]; 
                for (int i = 0; i < len; i += 2) { 
                            data[i / 2] = (byte) ((Character.digit(s.charAt(i), 16) << 4) 
                                                                                         + Character.digit(s.charAt(i+1), 16)); 
                return data; 
    2. ===Using the byte data, create binary attachment in mapping for abap proxy response===
    Could you please share how to create the binary attachment.. I am not clear

  • How to handle the BOLB column Using JDBC adapter

    Hi,
      I want to sending of a BOLB column from a DB2 database table to another DB2 database, and the sender and receiver both by using JDBC adapter. The two tables in each other database have the same columns.
      Here is the table's structure:
      <ID>string type</ID>
      <PDF>blob type</PDF>
      Also, i haved create two DataTypes in PI system.

    Hi Terry Qin,
    I understand, you are getting below XML from sender JDBC channel. But when you getting SAX parser error, in receiver JDBC.
    <ns:DT_PDF_Req xmlns:ns="http://XXXXX.com/sap/xi">
    <row>
    <ID>1</ID>
    <PDF></PDF>
    </row>
    </ns:DT_PDF_Req>
    I think it is because the XML which is going to receiver JDBC channel is not well formed (because pdf can containg < & characters).
    You can achive this sceanrio, by selecting receiver JDBC channel as Message Protocol "Native SQL Format" [Link1|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/44/7c24a75cf83672e10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm] you can send non XML to receiver channel.
    Before that, you have convert above input XML into SQL statement, using Java Mapping.

  • Creating a CLOB in jdbc

    I have a PL/SQL stored procedure which accepts a CLOB data type as one of the arguments. This procedure inserts a record into a table which has a column of datatype CLOB.
    Using jdbc, my java program creates a CallableStatement to the stored proc. Now I wish to create the CLOB based on a String value and pass it to the stored proc.
    This is a snippet of my code.
    import java.io.*;

    String user = "user";
    try {

    connection = DriverManager.getConnection(host, user, user);
    } catch ( Exception e ){
    System.out.println("could not get connection" + e.toString());
    } catch ( Throwable t ){
    System.out.println("could not get connection" + t.toString());

    try
    oracle.sql.CLOB cl = new oracle.sql.CLOB( (OracleConnection) con);
    //byte[] msg = message.getBytes("UTF8");
    //CLOB cl = new CLOB( (OracleConnection) con, msg);
    if ( cl == null ) System.out.println("clob is null");
    long index = cl.getLength();
    System.out.println("length is " + l );
    int i = cl.putString(index+1, message);
    stmt.setCLOB(1, cl);
    stmt.executeUpdate();

    Hello,
    First of i must admit that i am naive to installation softwares. But i can tell u that u can create tables using java and jdbc. I have done it myself. As far as creating database in concerned i haven't tried it out yet. But my gut feeling is that u can create it. I u are interested in having a look at the sample code then here it is.
    import java.sql.*;
    public class demoddl

  • Create and insert Dynpro

    How can I create and insert a Dynpro in the initial screen of a R/3 program in order to show a long text just after a Selection-Screen that contains the input parameters of the program?

    Hi Ruben
    1. You can put a screen having a text editor control (CL_TEXTEDIT), or you can use wrapper functions "RH_SET_EDITOR", "RH_GET_EDITOR" if you have in your system.
    2. You can use the function for displaying long texts of messages.
    3. You can write each line of your text to a table control and display that control without horizontal grid lines.
    These are just the ones I remember firstly. Sorry for not giving exact names since I am not connected to a SAP system.

  • JDBC - how to handle insert that returns value (bind?)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to do an insert into a table in an Oracle database with an auto-incrementing primary key (using a trigger and sequence) and I need to retrieve the value after the insert. From SQL*Plus, I'd enter:
    var id number;
    INSERT INTO mytable (name) VALUES ('foo') RETURNING id into :id;
    whereupon if I do "print id", I get the value of the id field from the newly-inserted record.
    The big question is how to achieve the same thing using JDBC. I've been flailing around all morning trying to figure it out and suspect it has something to do with using a CallableStatement instead of a PreparedStatement, but all of the examples I've seen so far only deal with calling stored procedures instead of raw SQL, and they all omit the part where some variable is bound to the resultset.
    Assuming I want to have the Java variable (int? Integer()?) "newId" set to the value being returned by the SQL statement as "id" (or ":id"?), what do I need to do between getting the connection and looking at "newId" to see what the value returned by the statement is?
    ie,
    Connection conn = db.connect();
    int newId;
    // show me what I need to do here
    System.out.println("The id of the newly-inserted record is:");
    System.out.println(newId);Thanks!

    This is untested:
    use the executeUpdate() method from the Statement. The return value will be your result from the RETURNING id portion of your SQL statement, if not then you'll probably have to do a seperate select or/and explicit return to get the value back from SQL.

  • SQL Server 2012 Management Studio:In the Database, how to print out or export the old 3 dbo Tables that were created manually and they have a relationship for 1 Parent table and 2 Child tables?How to handle this relationship in creating a new XML Schema?

    Hi all,
    Long time ago, I manually created a Database (APGriMMRP) and 3 Tables (dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates, dbo.Table_2_Soil, and dbo.Table_3_Water) in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012). The dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates has the following columns: file_id,
    Pt_ID, X, Y, Z, sample_id, Boring. The dbo.Table_2_Soil has the following columns: Boring, sample_date, sample_id, Unit, Arsenic, Chromium, Lead. The dbo.Table_3_Water has the following columns: Boring, sample_date, sample_id, Unit, Benzene, Ethylbenzene,
    Pyrene. The dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates is a Parent Table. The dbo.Table_2_Soil and the dbo.Table_3_Water are 2 Child Tables. The sample_id is key link for the relationship between the Parent Table and the Child Tables.
    Problem #1) How can I print out or export these 3 dbo Tables?

    Please kindly help, answer my questions, and advise me how to resolve these 4 problems.
    Thanks in advance,
    Scott Chang    

    In the future, I would recommend you to post your questions one by one, and to the appropriate forum. Of your questions it is really only #3 that fits into this forum. (And that is the one I will not answer, because I have worked very little with XSD.)
    1) Not sure what you mean with "print" or "export", but when you right-click a database, you can select Tasks from the context menu and in this submenu you find "Export data".
    2) I don't know why you get that error, but any particular reason you want to run PowerShell?
    4) If you have tables, you query them with SQL, not XQuery. XQuery is when you query XML documents, but left and right joins are SQL things. There are no joins in XQuery.
    As for left/right join, notice that these two are equivalent:
    SELECT ...
    FROM   a LEFT JOIN b ON a.col = b.col
    SELECT ...
    FROM   b RIGHT JOIN a ON a.col = b.col
    But please never use RIGHT JOIN - it gives me a headache!
    There is nothing that says that you should use any of the other. In fact, if you are returning rows from parent and child, I would expect an inner join, unless you want to cater for parents without children.
    Here is an example where you can study the different join types and how they behave:
    CREATE TABLE apple (a int         NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
                        b varchar(23) NOT NULL)
    INSERT apple(a, b)
       VALUES(1, 'Granny Smith'),
             (2, 'Gloster'),
             (4, 'Ingrid-Marie'),
             (5, 'Milenga')
    CREATE TABLE orange(c int        NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
                        d varchar(23) NOT NULL)
    INSERT orange(c, d)
       VALUES(1, 'Agent'),
             (3, 'Netherlands'),
             (4, 'Revolution')
    SELECT a, b, c, d
    FROM   apple
    CROSS  JOIN orange
    SELECT a, b, c, d
    FROM   apple
    INNER  JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
    SELECT a, b, c, d
    FROM   apple
    LEFT   OUTER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
    SELECT a, b, c, d
    FROM   apple
    RIGHT  OUTER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
    SELECT a, b, c, d
    FROM   apple
    FULL OUTER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
    go
    DROP TABLE apple, orange

  • How do I create an Event Handler for an Execute SQL Task in SSIS if its result set is empty

    So the precedence on my entire package executing is based on my first SELECT of my Table and an updatable column. If that SELECT results in an empty result set, how do I create an Event Handler to handle an empty result set?
    A Newbie to SSIS.
    I appreciate your review and am hopeful for a reply.
    PSULionRP

    Depends upon what you want to do in the eventhandler. this is what you can do
    Store the result set from the Select to a user variable.
    Pass this user variable to a Script task.
    In the Script task do whatever you want to do including failing the package this can be done by failing the script task, which in turns fails the package. something like
    Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure

  • How do I create a 1d array that takes a single calculation and insert the result into the first row and then the next calculation the next time the loop passes that point and puts the results in thsecond row and so on until the loop is exited.

    The attached file is work inprogress, with some dummy data sp that I can test it out without having to connect to equipment.
    The second tab is the one that I am having the problem with. the output array from the replace element appears to be starting at the index position of 1 rather than 0 but that is ok it is still show that the new data is placed in incrementing element locations. However the main array that I am trying to build that is suppose to take each new calculation and place it in the next index(row) does not ap
    pear to be working or at least I am not getting any indication on the inidcator.
    Basically what I am attempting to do is is gather some pulses from adevice for a minute, place the results for a calculation, so that it displays then do the same again the next minute, but put these result in the next row and so on until the specifiied time has expired and the loop exits. I need to have all results displayed and keep building the array(display until, the end of the test)Eventually I will have to include a min max section that displays the min and max values calculated, but that should be easy with the min max function.Actually I thought this should have been easy but, I gues I can not see the forest through the trees. Can any one help to slear this up for me.

    I didn't really have time to dig in and understand your program in depth,
    but I have a few tips for you that might things a bit easier:
    - You use local variables excessively which really complicates things. Try
    not to use them and it will make your life easier.
    - If you flowchart the design (very similar to a dataflow diagram, keep in
    mind!) you want to gather data, calculate a value from that data, store the
    calculation in an array, and loop while the time is in a certain range. So
    theres really not much need for a sequence as long as you get rid of the
    local variables (sequences also complicate things)
    - You loop again if timepassed+1 is still less than some constant. Rather
    than messing with locals it seems so much easier to use a shiftregister (if
    absolutely necessary) or in this case base it upon the number of iterations
    of the loop. In this case it looks like "time passed" is the same thing as
    the number of loop iterations, but I didn't check closely. There's an i
    terminal in your whileloop to read for the number of iterations.
    - After having simplified your design by eliminating unnecessary sequence
    and local variables, you should be able to draw out the labview diagram.
    Don't try to use the "insert into array" vis since theres no need. Each
    iteration of your loop calculates a number which goes into the next position
    of the array right? Pass your result outside the loop, and enable indexing
    on the terminal so Labview automatically generates the array for you. If
    your calculation is a function of previous data, then use a shift register
    to keep previous values around.
    I wish you luck. Post again if you have any questions. Without a more
    detailed understanding of your task at hand it's kind of hard to post actual
    code suggestions for you.

  • How do I create a DVD with no theme, i.e., it plays what was recorded when inserted in the player?

    How do I create a DVD with no theme, i.e., it plays what was recorded when inserted in the player?  Nothing extra, just the recorded content.

    Hi
    No Menu on DVD
    from. Mishmunken
    How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
    1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the auto-play box in iDVD's Map View, then set your auto-play item (your movie) to loop continuously.
    Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy. If you don't want your (auto-play) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the drop-zone (text needs to be black as well).
    Disadvantage. The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time. Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage. One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software. Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn.
    Disadvantage. you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    5. The "hard way". Post-production with myDVDedit (free-ware)
    Tools necessary. myDVDedit ( www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned. If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager.
