How to use floor(to_number(substr x))) in where clause???

Hi,
I have a column doc_id which value like abcd.01.023. If I
select floor(to_number(substr(doc_id, instr(doc_id, '.', 1)+1, instr(doc_id, '.', 1)+1 )))
it works,
but get ORA-01722: invalid number if I use in where clause like:
Where floor(to_number(substr(doc_id, instr(doc_id, '.', 1)+1, instr(doc_id, '.', 1)+1 ))) =0
Could you tell me how to fix?
Thansk

My guess is that you didn't process the same rows with each query. Maybe you have some where conditions on the 'select' query that filters out the offending rows. If the doc_id value could not be converted to a number is should raise the error in either case.
Besides that, your substring looks wrong to me. Why take "instr(doc_id, '.', 1)+1" characters? Why not just:
floor(substr(doc_id, instr(doc_id, '.') + 1))
Even then, the portion after the first '.' must be a valid number.

How to use a lexical variable in a WHERE clause and as a function argument.

Hello,
My report has a lexical variable which has values like 'and id in (1,3,4)'. I want to use this variable in two separate queries. In the first, it is used in the WHERE clause, something like:
.. where date is not null &var;
In the second query, the variable is used in a function call, something like:
select * from table (my_function(&var));
The trouble is that the first query works when the value of the variable is unquoted, but for the second query the value should be quoted.
Does anyone have an idea how I could solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Frans

How to use multiple search conditions in the where clause

Hi,
Below is my query
/****** Script for SelectTopNRows command from SSMS ******/
SELECT distinct
ctacct,sum(GLMN02)
FROM [ODS].[Staging].[tODS_INF_GLPCT]
inner join
[ODS].[Staging].[tODS_INF_GLPGL] ON tODS_INF_GLPCT.CTPAGE = tODS_INF_GLPGL.GLPAGE
where
CTACCT like '[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9]-63020-4110%'
This one gives me the exact result i want, now if i add one more to my where clause like this
/****** Script for SelectTopNRows command from SSMS ******/
SELECT distinct
ctacct,sum(GLMN02)
--,ctdesc,CTPAGE
--SUM(GLMN02)
FROM [ODS].[Staging].[tODS_INF_GLPCT]

where
CTACCT like'[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9]-63020-4110%' or
CTACCT like '[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9]-63020-4115%'
This query doesnt give me the exact values instead it gives me all the weird values.Can someone please help me with how to work on this where clause?
Thanks

Hi Patrick,
This is what i ve tried earlier and it isnt working .If i use the first query
/****** Script for SelectTopNRows command from SSMS ******/
SELECT distinct
ctdesc,SUM(GLMN02)
--,ctdesc,CTPAGE
--SUM(GLMN02)
FROM [ODS].[Staging].[tODS_INF_GLPCT]
inner join
[ODS].[Staging].[tODS_INF_GLPGL] ON tODS_INF_GLPCT.CTPAGE = tODS_INF_GLPGL.GLPAGE
where
CTAcct LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9]-63020-4110%'
--OR
--CTAcct LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9]-63020-4115%'
and GLYEAR = 2014
and CTDESC = 'Sales'
group by ctdesc
The result set is
Sales
-182273.96
And if i use the second query
SELECT distinct
ctdesc,SUM(GLMN02)
--,ctdesc,CTPAGE
--SUM(GLMN02)
FROM [ODS].[Staging].[tODS_INF_GLPCT]
inner join
[ODS].[Staging].[tODS_INF_GLPGL] ON tODS_INF_GLPCT.CTPAGE = tODS_INF_GLPGL.GLPAGE
where
CTAcct LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9]-63020-4110%'
OR
CTAcct LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9]-63020-4115%'
and GLYEAR = 2014
and CTDESC = 'Sales'
group by ctdesc
The result set i get is
Sales
-1455441.08
And i verified that CTAcct LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9]-63020-4115%'
this second line of where clause has not desc as Sales.
I am not sure whats causing the difference in the values.
Can you please help me with this?

CHEERS,

I see a couple of problems here.
First, what you posted below is not a syntactically valid query. It seems to be part of a larger query, specifically, this looks to be only the GROUP BY clause of a query.

If you want to apply a filter condition such as:

PL/SQL: how to use in parameter in select sql where clause

Hi
in a procedure, I need to apply 'in parameter' in 'where clause' along with other table fields. Purpose is to create dynamic select querry with multiple conditions.
select count(*) from table xx
where y_code=2008 and v_type in ('SI', 'TI', 'DI') ;
my requirement is replace 'and v_type in ('SI', 'TI', 'DI')' with in parameter. pls note in paramter may contain null value.
Regards

... e.g. why on earth do you want to pass in a string to be appended to the WHERE clause of an SQL.I second that and I strongly advice NOT to do it. If you really want to do it, then come back and show us, how you would prevent SQL injection. This approach is too dangerous (and too complex) IMHO.
Do it straight forward as in the article of Tom Kyte (link in the post of BluShadow above)

Using a Dimension/ Measure in a Where clause of Another Dimension/ Measure in IDT

Hi All
I am building a Universe using Information Design Tool. In the Business Layer, I need to use a created Business Layer Dimension (not Tables) in a Where clause of another dimension as follow:
Dimension: "Current Week No"
     SELECT
          budgets.dbo.Calenderweeks.WeekNo
     WHERE
          budgets.dbo.Calenderweeks.EndDate = convert(SMALLDATETIME, fn CURDATE()})
Dimension: "Last Week No"
     SELECT
          budgets.dbo.Calenderweeks.WeekNo
     WHERE
          budget.dbo.Calenderweeks .WeekNo = @Select(Dimension\Current Week No) - 1
The first dimension is working well. However, the "Last Week No" shows NOTHING (I do not get any value)
Anyone can explain why I am not get any value from the second dimension, and how I can use a Dimension/ Measure in a Where clause of another Dimension/ Measure ?
Thanks

Short answer:
Beware of object WHERE clauses. They are rarely (I'd almost say never) the solution to the problem you're trying to solve.
Long answer:
It doesn't work because you are inadvertently filtering the same value twice in two incompatible ways in the same SQL statement. Both objects SELECT the same column in the database. The first object uses a WHERE clause to set it to the current week. The second object attempts to use a WHERE clause to set it to the previous week, but does so by selecting the first object, so you end up with both objects in your data provider.
Remember that BO is going to place all the objects in your data provider in the same SQL (except of course where your context definition has ensured otherwise.), so you have two WHERE clauses in your generated SQL which attempt to find a line equal both the current week and the previous week... and returns, naturally, no results.
Rewrite it with a derived table (as explained in the response above) and you'll get what you want.

How to use string functions (substr or ltrim or replace) in OLAP universe.

cost element (0COSTELMNT) - 10 CHAR
Controlling area (0CO_AREA) - 4 CHAR
[0COSTELMNT].[LEVEL01].[[20COSTELMNT]].[Value]
cOST ELEMENT is compounded/prefixed with Controlling Area. I just want to see cost element without conrolling area in the BO report.
Currenlty BO unierse is build based on bex query. I am able to suppress the compounding object in bex query by chaning controlling area to 'No display'. But still BO Webi report displaying compounded values in the report. (Bex report works as expected)
eg: Current display in reort.
controlling area/cost element.
AB00/2222
AB00/2223
AB00/2224
Wanted like below:
2222
2223
2224
I think by using string fucntions (substring, ltrim or replace etc.), I can get the required result. But I am having issues with syntax. I have used like below.
substr(0COSTELMNT ; 5 ; 10)
substr(0COSTELMNT; 5 ; Length(0COSTELMNT)-5)
substr(0COSTELMNT; Pos(0COSTELMNT;"/")+1;10)
ltrim(0COSTELMNT,'AB00/')
What is the syntax for substring/replace functions in OLAP universe. Technical name of cost element in OLAP universe is [0COSTELMNT].[LEVEL01].[[20COSTELMNT]].[Value].
I want to fix this at universe level not at report level as i am using cost element in filter/variable section of the report. Please provide me syntax for above example.

Hi,
In fact SAP BW MDX supports limited string manipulation and only with NAME and UNIQUENAME attributes.
Here are some samples that you can use in universes:
MID([0COSTELMNT].currentmember.NAME,1,4)
LEFT([0COSTELMNT].currentmember.NAME,2)
RIGHT([0COSTELMNT].currentmember.NAME,3)
MID([0COSTELMNT].currentmember.UNIQUENAME ,1,4)
LEFT([0COSTELMNT].currentmember.UNIQUENAME ,2)
RIGHT([0COSTELMNT].currentmember.UNIQUENAME ,3)

Using a report value for a where clause in other report

Hi All,
i'm getting kinda nuts here. I created a page with three reports.
First report show the name of the user who logged in with his/her whole name. Second report shows the year, week, begin/end date of the week for the user in the first report. The third report show the hours the user worked in the week selected in the second report.
The link between first and second report is on column report. Somehow i managed it to work with second_report.mdw_code = :P3_ACRONIEM. I have no idea were this P3_ACRONIEM item is coming from, while i have no items in my page whatsoever. Now i need to link the second report to the third report. I have to use the second_report.mdw_code, second_report.year and second_report.week but i have no idea how to link these together. Any idea's? (Like making items, but then i have no idea how to link that item to the value in the second report). Please help.
Kind regards,
Dave
The link between the first and the second i could get it to work with :P3_ACRONIEM. I have no idea where this ITEM is coming from, because i have no items in my page (and it's the only page in the application). Then

Hi Dave,
If I understand you correctly, you have a one report that lists users, a second report that lists dates and a final report that shows hours worked?
If so, you may find it easiest to have hidden fields on your page and base the second and third reports on these using appropriate WHERE clauses. (I generally put hidden fields in a region in the "After Header" position)
So, if the first report contains a USER_ID field, have a hidden field called P1_USER_ID. The link on the first report will branch back to the same page and set the value of P1_USER_ID to #USER_ID# The second report can then use WHERE USER_ID = :P1_USER_ID. When the page reloads, the second report redisplays and is filtered to show only those records relating to the selected USER_ID in the first report.
To extend this, if the second report contains WEEK_NUMBER, it should have a link that branches back to the same page and sets a hidden P1_WEEK_NUMBER field with #WEEK_NUMBER#. The third report should when have WHERE WEEK_NUMBER = :P1_WEEK_NUMBER AND USER_ID = :P1_USER_ID. You can, if need be, have and set more than one hidden field during each link.
Regards
Andy

How To change the ADF View Object query where-clause at RunTime?

I am trying to create a simple display page which will display user data (username, assoc_dist_id, assoc_agent_id, status , etc). The User data is stored in a database table and i am using an ADF Read Only table based on the View Object to display the data on the JSF page.
However, i want to display only the users that a particular person accessing the page has the AUTH LEVEL to see. e.g. If the person accessing the page is an 'ApplicationAdministrator' then the page should display all users in the table, If its a 'DistributorAdministrator' then the page should display only users associated with that Distributor (i.e. assoc_dist_id = :p_Dist_id ) and If its an 'AgentAdministrator' , then the page should display only users associated with that Agent ( i.e. assoc_agent_id = :p_Agent_id).
Currently my af:table component displays all the users in the table because the query for the view object is (select * from users) . However, i want to use the same viewobject and just set the where-clause at runtime with the appropriate parameter to restrict the dataset returned.
Do anyone knows how to accomplish this ?

David,
See the custom method initializeDynamicVariableDefaults() in the SRViewObjectImpl.java class in the FrameworkExtentions project in the SRDemoSampleADFBC sample application. You can find out how to install the demo if you haven't already from the ADF Learning Center at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/learnadf.html
This class is a framework extension class for view objects that adds a neat, generic feature to be able to dynamic default the value of named bind variables. You can read more about what framework extension classes are and how to use them in Chapter 25, "Advanced Business Components Techniques" of the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers, also available at the learning center above.
It is an example of generic framework functionality that "kicks in" based on the presence of custom metadata properties on a named bind variable. See section 25.3.3 "Implementing Generic Functionality Driven by Custom Properties" in the dev guide for more details. Using this sample code, if you add a bind variable to a view object, and define a custom metadata property named "DynamicDefaultValue" on that bind variable, and set this custom metadata property to the value "CurrentUser", then that bind variable will have its value dynamically defaulted to the name of the authenticated user logged in. If instead you set this custom property to the value "UserRole", then the bind variable will be set to the comma-separated string containing the list of roles that the authenticated user is part of.
Once you've created a framework extension class for view objects like this, you can have the view objects you create inherit this generic functionality.See section 25.1.4 "How to Base an ADF Component on a Framework Extension Class" in the dev guide for more info on this.
By adapting a technique like this (or some idea similar that better suits your needs) you can have your view object query contain bind variables whose values automatically take on the defaults based on something in the user-session environment.

How to populate bind variable in view objects where clause in ADF faces

I've got a page with 2 input items.
The user manually enters the first value.
On the second input item I have created a LOV for the item which opens in a popup. How do I restrict the data returned in the LOV using the value entered in the first input item. I have created a bind variable and have included it in the where clause for the view object but how do I populated it.

Here is an example:
Using the HR schema with the EMPLOYEES and DEPARTMENTS tables.
Example is using ADF BC and created an EMPLOYEES entity with an updateable view object for page,
and created a DEPARTMENTS view as a lookup
(SQL: select department_id, department_name from departments where department_name = :DeptName)
1: add method to the backing bean to filter the LOV
public void getTextValueToFilterLOV(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
Object value_from_form = valueChangeEvent.getNewValue();
FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Application fapp = fctx.getApplication();
JUFormBinding formBinding = (JUFormBinding)fapp.createValueBinding("#{bindings}").getValue(fctx);
DCIteratorBinding dcBinding = (DCIteratorBinding)formBinding.get("DeptLOVIterator");
ViewObject vo = dcBinding.getViewObject();
vo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("DeptName",value_from_form);
vo.executeQuery();
2. add valueChangeListener to the inputText on the page with an id and autoSubmit="true"
<af:inputText value="#{bindings.LastName.inputValue}" label="#{bindings.LastName.label}" binding="#{backing_DeptForm.inputText3}"
id="inputText3"
autoSubmit="true"
valueChangeListener="#{backing_DeptForm.getTextValueToFilterLOV}">
</af:inputText>
3. reference the LOV with the id name on the partialTriggers property
<af:selectOneChoice value="#{bindings.EmployeesUpdView1DepartmentId.inputValue}"
label="#{bindings.EmployeesUpdView1DepartmentId.label}" binding="#{backing_DeptForm.selectOneChoice1}"
id="selectOneChoice1"
partialTriggers="inputText3">
<f:selectItems value="#{bindings.EmployeesUpdView1DepartmentId.items}"
binding="#{backing_DeptForm.selectItems1}"
id="selectItems1"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>
Summary:
When you entered a text (LastName), that value is passed into the backing bean method.
The Bean method code will find the LOV Iterator and put the value into the bind variable.
Cheers,
Jim
