How to modify a SQL query?

Hi all,
I am using Crystal Reports version 10. I have a number of reports that have been written by a software vendor wherby the name of the database they were connected to when the report was written is coded into the FROM command of the reports SQL query, eg "GCUK_2" in the of the SQL snippet below.
SELECT "Clients"."NAME", "Quotes"."QUOTE_ID", "Quote_Items"."UPRICE", "Quote_Items"."QTY", "Quote_Items"."UOM", "Quote_Items"."QUSAGE_ID", "Report_Control"."QUSAGEID", "Quote_Items"."STANDARD", "Quote_Items"."SECT_FLAG", "Quote_Items"."DISPORDER", "Quotes"."DESCRIPT", "Report_Control"."SECT_NAME", "Quote_Items"."CNT", "Category_and_Type"."TYPEDESC", "Quote_Items"."DESCRIPT", "Report_Control"."DISP_SORT"
FROM   ((("GCUK_2"."schedwin"."QTE_CTRL" "Report_Control" INNER JOIN "GCUK_2"."schedwin"."QUSAGE" "Quote_Items" ON "Report_Control"."QUSAGEID"="Quote_Items"."QUSAGE_ID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "GCUK_2"."schedwin"."QUOTES" "Quotes" ON
I have tried setting the Datasource Location, but it doesn't change the query at all. I have read on another forum that you can generate another SQL query using the Database Expert, Current Connections, then right click the Add Command for the database you want to create a SQL command. Is this the only way to update the database names in the query?
Thanks,
Scott.

Hi Sourashree,
Thanks for that. All the reports were created by the vendor using tables as opposed to the command object. I would have thought that changing the datasource would automatically cause Crystal to rewrite the SQL query syntax, but this doesn't appear to be the case.
Yes, I've noticed that modifying the record selection will change the sql query. The only way I can see to change the database name in the query is to change to the desired databsource and then remove and re-insert the tables, which will then update the query with the correct name. However, this seems to be a convoluted way of changing the db name in the query.

  • 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...

    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.

  • How to view the sql query?

    hi,
      how to view the sql query formed from the xml structure in the receiver jdbc?

    You can view SAP Note at
    http://service.sap.com/notes
    But you require SMP login ID for this which you should get from your company. The content of the notes are as follows:
    Reason and Prerequisites
    You are looking for additional parameter settings. There are two possible reasons why a feature is available via the "additional parameters" table in the "advanced mode" section of the configuration, but not as documented parameter in the configuration UI itself:
    Category 1: The parameter has been introduced for a patch or a SP upgrade where no UI upgrade and/or documentation upgrade was possible. In this case, the parameter will be moved to the UI and the documentation as soon as possible. The parameter in the "additional parameters" table will be deprecated after this move, but still be working. The parameter belongs to the supported adapter functionality and can be used in all, also productive, scenarios.
    Category 2. The parameter has been introduced for testing purposes, proof-of-concept scenarios, as workaround or as pre-released functionality. In this case, the parameter may or may not be moved to the UI and documentation, and the functionality may be changed, replaced or removed. For this parameter category there is no guaranteed support and usage in productive scenarios is not supported.
    When you want to use a parameter documented here, please be aware to which category it belongs!
    Solution
    The following list shows all available parameters of category 1 or 2. Please note:
    Parameter names are always case-sensitive! Parameter values may be case-sensitive, this is documented for each parameter.
    Parameter names and values as documented below must be used always without quotaton marks ("), if not explicitly stated otherwise.
    The default value of a parameter is always chosen that it does not change the standard functionality
    JDBC Receiver Adapter Parameters
    1. Parameter name: "logSQLStatement"
                  Parameter type: boolean
                  Parameter value: true for any string value, false only for empty string
                  Parameter value default: false (empty String)
                  Available with: SP9
                  Category: 2
                  Description:
                  When implementing a scenario with the JDBC receiver adapter, it may be helpful to see which SQL statement is generated by the JDBC adapter from the XI message content for error analysis. Before SP9, this can only be found in the trace of the JDBC adapter if trace level DEBUG is activated. With SP9, the generated SQL statement will be shown in the details page (audit protocol) of the message monitor for each message directly.
                  This should be used only during the test phase and not in productive scenarios.

    Prateek

  • How to execute an SQL query present in a string inside an ABAP program?

    hello,
    How to execute an SQL query present in a string inside an ABAP program

    Raut,
    You can execute Native SQl statements.
    Ex: To use a Native SQL statement, you must precede it with the EXEC SQL statement, and follow it with the ENDEXEC statement as follows:
    EXEC SQL [PERFORMING <form>].
      <Native SQL statement>
    ENDEXEC.
    There is no period after Native SQL statements. Furthermore, using inverted commas (") or an asterisk (*) at the beginning of a line in a native SQL statement does not introduce a comment as it would in normal ABAP syntax. You need to know whether table and field names are case-sensitive in your chosen database.
    In Native SQL statements, the data is transported between the database table and the ABAP program using host variables. These are declared in the ABAP program, and preceded in the Native SQL statement by a colon (:). You can use elementary structures as host variables. Exceptionally, structures in an INTO clause are treated as though all of their fields were listed individually.
    If the selection in a Native SQL SELECT statement is a table, you can pass it to ABAP line by line using the PERFORMING addition. The program calls a subroutine <form> for each line read. You can process the data further within the subroutine.
    As in Open SQL, after the ENDEXEC statement, SY-DBCNT contains the number of lines processed. In nearly all cases, SY-SUBRC contains the value 0 after the ENDEXEC statement. Cursor operations form an exception: After FETCH, SY-SUBRC is 4 if no more records could be read. This also applies when you read a result set using EXEC SQL PERFORMING.
    EXEC SQL PERFORMING loop_output.
      SELECT connid, cityfrom, cityto
      INTO   :wa
      FROM   spfli
      WHERE  carrid = :c1
    ENDEXEC.
    Pls. Mark If useful

  • Modifying the sql query in doDML of entity

    I am using Jdev 11.1.1.4.0 and SQLServer Database
    I want to modify the sql query in "doDML(int operation, TransactionEvent e)"
    I could check what kind of operation like (operation == DML_UPDATE) and do some additional stuff.. But I want to edit the query because of which we entered doDML..
    I want to edit the query because when i use SQLServer database with SQLBuilder as SQL92, the update statement will have table alias like "update table <table alias>" which the SQLServer is not recognizing.. So I want to remove that alias from sql query in doDML..

    It isn't possible.
    However as per the following MSDN page a table alias is fine in an UPDATE statement so are you sure this is your problem?: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa260662(v=sql.80).aspx

  • How to run recordset SQL query in FORM DATA event

    How can I run recordset SQL query in FORM DATA event upon clicking on Add button in the document?

    Hi Slamet,
    When you receive a form data event you have a class containing inside it a ObjectKeys xml info regarding the object added/modified,...
    With the objects keys you can then use the DI API method called GetByKeys to obtain the DI Object.
    There is some information about it in the SDK Help file, mainly in the "FormDataEvent" class definition:
    <i>The event provides the unique ID (BusinessObjectInfo.ObjectKey) of the modified business object. You can use the value of this property as an input parameter in the DI API DataBrowser.GetByKeys method to get a DI object.</i>
    Pay attention you don't have this information in the Before=True event of the Add as it is not yet in the database.
    Hope it helps

    Use PreparedStatement. Always. It not only eases setting Java objects in a SQL query, but also protects you against SQL injections.

  • How to write a sql query to retrieve data entered in the past 2 weeks

    Hi,
    I have file names and last accessed date(java.sql.Date format) stored in my database table, I would like to know how I can write a query to get the name of files accessed in the past 2 weeks,I use open sql server at the back end.
    Thanks in advance.

    This has essentially nothing to do with JDBC. JDBC is just an API to execute the SQL language using Java and thus interact with the databases.
    Your problem is related to the SQL language, you don't know how to write the SQL language. I suggest you to go through a SQL tutorial (there is one at w3schools.com) and to read the SQL documentation which come along with the database in question. A decent database manfacturer has a website and probably also a discussion forum / mailinglist as well.
    I'll give you a hint: you can just use equality operators in SQL like everywhere. For example: "WHERE date < somedate".

  • How to run a sql query from a button in apex 3.0

    Hi,
    I am brand new and went through/installed the obe project tracker. I have need to create a simple application that displays a result (2 fields, name and license number) based on two parameters (dob and login id) which all are stored in 1 table in the database. I could this very simply in VB or VB.net but have no idea how to do it in apex.
    Please provide guidance,
    Thank you,
    Tom

    Hi Tom,
    Sounds like a report region will satisfy your requirements.
    Create a new report region on one of your pages.
    Choose SQL Report and give the region a title.
    When you get to the "Enter SQL Query or PL/SQL function returning a SQL Query:" step, type:
    SELECT name, license_number
    FROM   <insert_your_table_name_here>
    WHERE  dob = :P<n>_dob
    AND    login_id = :P<n>loginid(replace <n> with the page number that the region is on and use your own table name).
    Don't try to run the page yet - it will give 'No data found'
    Now, go back to the Page Definition screen and add two items in the region you just created - call them P<n>dob and P<n>login_id
    Then, create a button in the same region (to be displayed amongst the region's items) - call it P<n>_GO and click 'Create' (take all the other defaults).
    Now you can run the page, put some values into the fields and click go.
    If you want to get fancier, you can change the text items to select lists etc. - let us know if you need help with that.
    Hope this helps,
    Bryan.
