How to store report data in some other tale

Hi All,
I have one requirement from client but i don't know whether it is possible or not?
Any one give me an idea if it is possible.
EX:
I run the report with EMP table with SCOTT schema.i got the output.Now i want that output to be stored in some other table called TEST_EMP.
how i can store data from the report.I have to write any PL/SQL code in AFTER REPORT TRIGGER.
Please give me reply ASAP.

Hi,
I would do this in group filter (in the lowest group of the query)

Hi,
You just need to assign package while saving your report.
No extra is required providing you are aware of package to be used.

How to store the datas in a .txt file in to a JTable in Java Swing

Hi sir,
Here i want to know how to store the data's of a .txt file

Where here the .txt file like for eg,spooler.txt is in the server and from there it will come to my client machine what i have to do is to take that .txt file and store the datas of the .txt file
in a JTable.This is what i want.So pls. do help and provide the code as well.I will be thankful.Since i am involved in a project which involves this it is Urgent.
Thanx,

You can't just display data from a text file in a JTable. You have you understand the structure of the data so that you can parse the data and create a table model that can access the data in a row/column format. Here is an example of a simple program that does this:

How to store measurement data in a single database row

I have to store time-data series into a database and do some analysis using Matlab later. Therefore the question might be more a database question rather than Diadem itself. Nevertheless I'm interested if anyone has some best practices for this issue.
I have a database which holds lifecycle records for certain components of same nature and different variants. Depending on the variant I have test setups which record certain data. There is a common set of component properties and a varying number of environmental measurements to be included. Also the duration of data acquisition varies across the variants.
Therefore having tables appears to be non-optimal solution for storing the data because the needed number of columns is unknown. Additionally I cannot create individual tables for each sample of a variant. This would produce to many tables.
So there are different approaches I have thought of:
Saving the TDM and TDX files as text respectively as BLOB
This makes it necessary to use intermediate files.
Saving the data as XML text
I don’t know yet if I can process XML data in Matlab
Has anybody an advice on that problem?
Regards
Chris

Sorry for the lateness in replying to your post.
I have done quite a bit of using a Database to store test results. (In my case this was Oracle DB, using a system called ASAM-ODS)
My 2 Cents:
Three functions were needed by users for me. 1) To search and find the tests, and 2) To take the list of Tests and process the data into a report/output summary. 2) If the file size is large, then being able to import the data quickly into analysis tool speeds up processing.
1) Searching for test results.  This all depends on what parameters are of value for searching. In practice this is a smaller list of values(usually under 20), but I have had great difficulty getting users to agree on what these parameters are. They tend to want to search for anything.   The organization of the searching parameters has direct relationship to how you can search. The NI Datafinder does a nice job of searching for parameters, so long as the parameter data are stored in properties of Channel Groups or Channels. It does not search or index if the values are in channel values.
Another note: Given these are searchable parameters, it helps greatly if these parameters have a controlled entry, so that the parameters are consistent over all tests, and not dependent on free form entry by each operator. Searching becomes impossible if the operators enter dates/ names in wildly different formats.
2) Similar issue exists if put values into databases. (I will use the database terms of Table and column(Parameter) and Row (instance of Data that would be one test record.)
The sql select statement, can do fast finds, if store the searchable parameters in rows of a table. Where would have one row for each Test Record.   The files I worked with have more than 2000 parameters.   Making a table that would store all of these, and be able to search for all of these, makes a very large number of rows. I did not like this approach, as it has substantial maintenance time, and when changes are made, things get ugly quick.
3)This is where having the file format be something that the analysis tool can quickly load up is beneficial.   Especially if the data files are large. In DIAdem's case, it reads TDM,TDMS files very quickly into the dataportal.   It can also read in the MDF or HDF files, but these are hierarchical structures that require custom code to traverse the information, and get the information into dataportal to use in Analysis /reporting. (Takes more time to read data, but have much more flexibility in the data structure than the two level tdm/tdms format.)
My personal preferences
I would not want to put the test data into a Table row. Each of the columns would be fixed and the table would be very wide in columns.
>
I personally like to put the test Data into a file, like TDMS, MDF, or HDF and then the database would have a entry for the reference to the attachment. The values that are in the database is just the parameters that are used for test Searching, either in datafinder or in sql commands in the user interface.
Hopefully these comments help your tasks some.

How to store bit data in VARCHAR(4000) field?

Hi.
Please help!
We are porting some C/C++ software with embedded SQLs from NT/DB2 to Linux/Oracle.
On NT/DB2 we have some table to store file data in a VARCHAR(4000) blocks.
Table looks like this
CREATE TABLE FileData (filetime as timestamp not null, idx int not null, datablock varchar(4000) FOR BIT DATA not null, primary key (filetime, idx) );
As you can see DB2 has appropriate field modifier - "FOR BIT DATA" which makes DB2 storing data as-is, not converting characters.
I need to know - if it is possible to do the same in Oracle like in DB2?
If Oracle has some kind of field modifier like "FOR BIT DATA" in DB2?
If not, how can I do the same in Oracle?
The current problems are:
1) when application imports the file with some national chars the Oracle stores "?" in a database in place of national chars.
2) another piece of a problem - if file is more than 4000 bytes length, it reports the ORA-01461 error (see it is trying to expand some chars to UTF8 char which is not fit a single char, so finally - not fit the field size).
So, it seems that it cannot proceed national chars at all. :-\
For details please see enclosed [C code|http://dmitry-bond.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!D4095215C101CECE!1606.entry] , there is example how data written to a table.
In other places we also need to read data from FIELDATA table and store back to file (other filename, other location).
Here is summary on a field-datatype variants I have tried for the "datablock" field:
1) VARCHAR2, RAW, LONG RAW, BLOB - does not work! All reports the same error - ORA-01461.
2) CLOB, LONG - both working fine but(!) both still returns "?" instead of national chars on data reading.
Hint: how I did try these field types - I just drop the "FileData" table, created it using different type for "datablock" field and run the same application to test it.
I think I need to explain what the problem - we do not provide direct access to Oracle database, we use a some middle-ware. Middle-ware is a C/C++ software which also has a interface for dynamic SQLs execution. So, exactly this middle-ware (which is typically running on the same server with Oracle) receives the "?" instead of national chars! But we need it to return all data AS-IS(!) without any changes!!! That is wjhy I did ask - if Oracle has any options to store byte-data as-is?
The BIG QUESTION - HOW CAN WE DO THIS?!
Another thing I need to explain - it is ok to use Oracle-specific SQL ONLY IF THERE IS REALLY NO WAY TO ACHIEVE THIS WITH STANDARD SQL! Please.
So, please look on a C code (by link I have posted above) and tell - if it is possible to make working in Oracle the VARCHAR approach we using at the moment?
If not - please describe what options do we have for Oracle?
Regards,
Dmitry.
PS. it is Oracle 11gR2 on CentOS 5.4, all stuff installed with default settings, so Oracle db encoding is "AL32UTF8".
C/C++ application is built as ANSI/ASCII application (non-unicode), so sizeof(char)=1.
The target Oracle db (I mean - the one which will be used on customer site) is Oracle 10g. So, solution need to be working on Oracle 10g.

There is some contradiction in your requirements:
- if you want to store data as is without any translation use RAW or BLOB
- if you want to store national character data try to use NVARCHAR2 or NCLOB.Seems you did not understand the problem. Ok, I'll try to explain. Please look on the code sample I provided in original question
(I just added expanded data structures there, sorry I forgot to publish them when post original question):
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
struct {
    char timestamp[27];
    char station[17];
    char filename[33];
    char task[17];
    char orderno[17];
    long filelen;
gFilehead;
struct {
    char timestamp[27];
    long idx;
    struct {
      short len;
      char arr[4001];
    } datablock;
gFiledata;
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
#define DATABLOCKSIZE 4000
#ifdef __ORACLE
#define VARCHAR_VAL(vch) vch.arr
#elif __DB2
#endif
short dbWriteFile( char *databytes, long datalen )
short nRc;
long movecount;
long offset = 0;
gFilehead.filelen = gFilehead.filelen + datalen;
while ((datalen + gFiledata.datablock.len) >= DATABLOCKSIZE)
    movecount = DATABLOCKSIZE - gFiledata.datablock.len;
    memcpy(&VARCHAR_VAL(gFiledata.datablock)[gFiledata.datablock.len], databytes, movecount);
    gFiledata.datablock.len = (short)(gFiledata.datablock.len + movecount);
    exec sql insert into filedata (recvtime, idx, datablock)
      values(
        :gFiledata.recvtime type as timestamp,
        :gFiledata.idx,
        :gFiledata.datablock /* <--- ORA-01461 appears here */
    nRc = sqlcode;
    switch (nRc)
    case SQLERR_OK: break;
    default:
      LogError(ERR_INSERT, "filedata", IntToStr(nRc), LOG_END);
      exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    offset = offset + movecount;
    datalen = datalen - movecount;
    gFiledata.idx = gFiledata.idx + 1;
    memset(&gFiledata.datablock, 0, sizeof(gFiledata.datablock));
    databytes = databytes + movecount;
    gFiledata.datablock.len = 0;
if (datalen + gFiledata.datablock.len)
    memcpy(&VARCHAR_VAL(gFiledata.datablock)[gFiledata.datablock.len], databytes, datalen);
    gFiledata.datablock.len = (short)(gFiledata.datablock.len + datalen);
return 0;
}So, the thing we need is - to put some data into the "datablock" field of following structure:
struct {
    char timestamp[27];
    long idx;
    struct {
      short len;
      char arr[4001];
    } datablock;
gFiledata;Then insert it into a database table using static SQL like this:
    exec sql insert into filedata (recvtime, idx, datablock)
      values(
        :gFiledata.recvtime type as timestamp,
        :gFiledata.idx,
        :gFiledata.datablock /* <--- ORA-01461 appears here */
        ); And then expect to read exactly the same data back!
The problems are:
1) Oracle make decision to convert the data we are inserting (why? and how to disable converting?!)
2) even if it inserts the data (CLOB and LONG field datatypes are working fine when inserting data with such static SQL + such host variable) then it became not readable! (why?! how to make it readable?!)
P. Forstmann wrote:
ORA-01461 could mean that you have a wrong data type for bind variable variable in your client code:Not me decided that host variable is the "LONG datatype value" - the Oracle make that decision instead of me. And that is the problem!
Looks like Oracle react on any char code >= 0x80.
So, assume if I run the code:
// if Tab1 was created as "CREATE TABLE Tab1 (value VARCHAR(5))" then
char szData[10] = "\x41\x81\x82\x83\x84";
EXEC SQL INSERT INTO Tab1 (value) VALUES (:szData);
Oracle will report the ORA-01461 error!
EXACTLY THIS IS THE PROBLEM I HAVE DESCRIBED IN MY ORIGINAL QUESTION.
So, problem - why Oracle make such decision instead of me?! How we can make Oracle insert data into a table AS-IS?
What other type of host variable we should use to make Oracle think that data is a binary?
void*? unsigned char? Could you please provide any examples?
Ok, you did recommend - "use the RAW datatype". But RAW datatype is limited to size 2000 bytes only - we need 4000! So, it is not match our needs at all.
Also you have mentioned "use BLOB" - but testing shows that Oracle reports the same ORA-01461 error on inserting data into a BLOB field from such host variable! (see the code I posted)
What also we can do?
Change type of host variables? BUT HOW?!

Java servlet: how to store large data result across multiple web session

Hi, I am writing a java servlet to process some large data.
Here is the process
1), user will submit a query,
2) servlet return a lot of results for user to make selection,
3). user submit their selections (with checkboxes).
4). servlet send back the complete selected items in a file.
The part I have trouble with (new to servlet) is that how I can store the results arraylist (or vector) after step 2 so I needn't re-search again in step 4.
I think Session may be helpful here. But from what I read from tutorial, session seems only store small item instead of large dataset. Is it possible for session to store large dataset? Can you point me to an example or provide some example code?
Thanks for your attention.
Mike

I don't know whether you connect the databases and store the resultset?

How to store the data coming from network analyser into a text or excel file

Hii everyone
I'm using Agilent 8719ET network analyser and wish to store the data coming from netowrk analyser into a text file/ excel file.
Presently I'm able to get the data on Labview graph using GPIB . Can anyone suggest how to go ahead after collect data sub vi. How can the data be stored into a file apart from showing on the graph?
Attached is the vi for kind consideration...
Looking for help

First let me say that your code really looks pretty good. The data handling could be made more efficient by calculating the number of datapoints that are going to be in the completed dataset and preallocating the entire array -- but depending upon your answer to my questions, the logic in the lower shift register may be going away - so we won't worry about that right now.
The thing I need to know before addressing the data storage question is: Each time you call "Collect and Display Data.vi", how many element are in the array? Are you reading single data points, or a group of data? (BTW: if the answer to that question is obvious based on the way the other VIs are setup, I don't have the drivers so I can't tell what the setup values are.) Second, how fast does the loop iterate? Are we talking msec per loop?, seconds? fortnights?
The issues here are two-fold: how much data? and how fast is it coming? The answer to these will tell you how to save the data.

How to store multiple data in one aray at one go?

Hi i am creating a Recipe Cooking Book and i have got a recipe class, ingredient class, equipment class and jFORM GUI. the gui form will have a list and it will contain couple of equipments. the user should be able to select more than 1 equipments which would use the pass- by - value to the recipe class and it will be passed to equipment class.
The problem that encounter is that when i have to select multiple values from list, it should store all selected equipments to array.
This is where i am stuck as i don't know how to store couple of equipment at one creation.
This is my recipe constructor in recipe class
public Recipe(int aRecipeID, String aRecipeName, String aCountryofOrigin,
                  String aType, String aPreparationTime, String aCookingTime,
                  String aRecipeDescription, String aProcedure,
                   ClsEquipment[] aequipment, String aImage1, String aImage2,
                  String aImage3) {
        Create(aRecipeID, aRecipeName, aCountryofOrigin, aType,
               aPreparationTime, aCookingTime, aRecipeDescription, aProcedure,
               aequipment, aImage1, aImage2, aImage3);
    public void Create(int aRecipeID, String aRecipeName,
                       String aCountryofOrigin, String aType,
                       String aPreparationTime, String aCookingTime,
                       String aRecipeDescription, String aProcedure,
                        ClsEquipment[] aequipment, String aImage1, String aImage2,
                       String aImage3) {
        RecipeID = aRecipeID;
        RecipeName = aRecipeName;
        CountryofOrigin = aCountryofOrigin;
        Type = aType;
        PreparationTime = aPreparationTime;
        CookingTime = aCookingTime;
        RecipeDescription = aRecipeDescription;
        Procedure = aProcedure;
        *equipment[j] = aequipment[k];*
        Image1 = aImage1;
        Image2 = aImage2;
        Image3 = aImage3;
this is The command that i have in Jform gui
    public void jRcreateButton_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        int i=0;
myRecipe.Create(Integer.parseInt(jRidTextField.getText()),jRnameTextField.getText(),jRcountryTextField.getText(),jRtypeTextField.getText(),jRptimeTextField.getText(),jRctimeTextField.getText(),jRdescriptionTextArea.getText(), jRprocedureTextArea.getText(),new ClsEquipment(jAEequipmentList.getSelectedValues()),jRimage1TextField.getText(),jRimage2TextField.getText(),jRimage3TextField.getText());
Let me conclude what i am trying to do. Basically i want the user to select more than 1 equipments from the List and the user should also input other recipe data. once this is done, the should click on create.
when creating one recipe, u need more than 1 equipment so that created recipe should store selected equipments, which i will later on retrieve and display on screen.
can u please guide me where i am goin wrong and how i could fix it.
thank you in advance

       *equipment[j] = aequipment[k];*JList's getSelectedValues() method returns an array of Objects, so if you wanted to store it into another Object[] reference, you'd just use
equipment = aequipment;But, you are storing it as an Equipment array, so you'll need to loop over the Object array and cast each element to an Equipment reference, and store it into the Equipment array. Something like this:
equipment = new Equipment[aequipment.length];
for (each element x in aequipment) {
    equipment[x] = (Equipment)aequipment[x];
}

How to store the data of a file into an ArrayList?

Hi! everyone.
I want to know
if I have a File, and the data in the file are type int, type String...
And I have a ArrayList which is of type Question
How do I store the data of that file into the ArrayList
I tried to use the while loop(use the hasNextLine() to read the data line by line)
But I cannot add data which are not of type Question to the ArrayList.
Can you tell me what I should do, please?
I also wonder that
The data of the file are of many types, but when I try to read it with the nextLine(), the data all turn out to be of type String. Why?
Thank you.

No, a line in the file is just part of a question
The format of the file is like this:
*<question type code>                    :     String*
*<question point value>                    :     int*
*<question category>                         :     String*
*<question difficulty level>               :     int*
*<question text>                              :     String*
*<question correct answer>               :     String*
*<optional question-specific data>     :     String*
*<question terminator>                    :     String*
And here is an example
TF //TrueFalseQuestion
5 //points value
None //category
3 //difficulty level
The capital of the United States is Washington, D.C. //question text
True // answer
*** //quetion terminator
I created an ArrayList in the Test class:
private ArrayList<Question> questions; // Create inside constructor
    public Test (String name, String instr)
        testName = name;
        scoreEarned = 0;
        scorePossible = 0;
        instructions = instr;
        questions = new ArrayList<Question>(); //[MAX_NUMBER_OF_QUESTIONS];
    }And I tried to use the following method to store the data of the file to the ArrayList
// This method loads a set of questions from a plain text file
    public void loadQuestionsFromFile(String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException
        try
            File fileReader = new File("input.txt");
            Scanner sc = new Scanner(fileReader);
            while (sc.hasNextLine())
                // I don't know how to pass the data I got from the nextLine() method to the ArrayList because they are of different type
        catch (FileNotFoundException a)
            System.out.println(a);
    }    As all you said, I should create an Question object in the while loop
Question temp = new Question ();But I have no idea how to pass the int and String to the Question object.
Thank you
