How to use Query in Crystal??

Dear all, This must be the simplest question around however, I cannot understand how to use SQL queries under Crystal.
I read the help file and it says you need to use universe to create queries.
I don't have a universe in my report nor it is coming from Universe. I am using direct ODBC connection link to database and then using formulas to put the information into the report.
Can someone please guide me to the Help articles or forum link where Query in Crystal is explained?
many thanks

Hello,
I have done all that however, now my reports are taking way too much time to load. I mean nearly 5mins before it loads the report.
I used the SQL command as
Select order_no
From Order_header, Order_progress
Where Order_progress=77
Using this, even the fastest report takes forever to load.
Is it because it is checking every records against the tables and then loading the report.
Can we make it faster?
Regards
Jehanzeb

  • How to use 'query data source Name '  property in a block

    I want to create a block using query and want to show the columns on a form.
    Could you please tell me how can I do this?
    Regards

    Hi!
    Create a new block manually.
    Set the Query Data Source Type Property to FROM clause query.
    In the Query Data Source Name Property write your query like you would
    write it in sql*plus or toad but without a order by clause.
    Set the DML Data Target Type Property to None.
    Create items for the columns in your query.
    May set the where clause and order by property of the block.
    Build the form and execute a query in your new block.

  • How to use Query Builder in JDeveloper?

    I am not able to use Query Builder with JDeveloper version 11g 2.
    The online documentation about Query Builder:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35521_01/user.111230/e17455/db_tools.htm#OJDUG2380
    "To use Query Builder:
    Open the SQL Worksheet.
    Right-click and choose Query Builder."
    But when I right-click on the SQL Worksheet, there is no menu item "Query Builder".
    Does the documentation belong to a different version of JDeveloper?
    Edited by: Ralf_user4689599 on 06.05.2013 15:40

    all features of 11.1.2.3.0 are installed.
    It makes no difference wether I start studio developer or database developer role.
    There's no query builder in the context menu of the sql worksheet.

  • How to use Query-views as input-ready

    I have a input-ready query working fine saying the IP field is input-ready, and a value can be entered.
    If I save the query as a query-view and want to use the view instead, the input-ready field change to 'not input-ready'.

    Hello,
    My first question is can Apex 3.1 work with 9.2 - 10.1 - 10.2 and 11.1?Correct. That's said in the installation guide.
    My second question is how can I open the Query Builder inside the Create Region>SQL Report wizard to my users inside a custom user defined form?This does not yet exist out of the box. You can have a look how Oracle did it and try to mimic it in your own application.
    My third question is if the answer of second question is it is not possible, then anyone can advice on alternatives for this kind of a need with Apex?Import app 4500 in your own workspace. On page 1002 you should find the query builder.
    Again you can't just run this, you would need to make customizations to it. Alternatively you can add just a textarea on a page where you can run SQL statements from. But I guess you want to have the graphical display?
    My last question is how Apex can handle a distributed database environment, like Java applications can it open several database connections as needed?APEX is living in the Oracle database. So everything inside that database you can potentially work with. If you need data from other sources you can use a database link or hytrogenous connectivity. Basically if you can do it from the Oracle database, you can also do it from within APEX.

  • JDEV 10.1.3 Searching how to use query named in client

    I find all necessary information about creating a named query but i didn't find anything about using it in my application code.
    Does somebody know how to call a named query.

    Michel,
    Named queries is documented at: http://download-east.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/toplink/1013/MAIN/_html/qryun008.htm#CACFBJCI
    To execute a named query you want to use:
    session.executeQuery("query-name", MyClass.class, args);http://download-west.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/toplink/1013/MAIN/b13698/oracle/toplink/sessions/Session.html#executeQuery_java_lang_String__java_lang_Class__java_util_Vector_
    There are several versions of this method depending on the arguments you wish to pass. For named queries defined on a descriptor you want to use the methods that take a reference class as well as the query name.

    i have a sql query and i want to see its result on report with the help of print layout design.

    In addition to Tuvia's answer, here is the printing procedure of query PLD:

    Use
    After you have linked a user-defined query to a user report template, you can print it according to its linked print layout.

    Using the Query Print Layout window:
    1. Choose Tools u2192 Queries u2192 Query Print Layout.
    2. Choose the Reports tab page and select the query you would like to print.

  • How to use query-result as a new query-fiter

    HI, All
    Is it possible to execute sub-query filtererd by the pre-query-reslted lists ?
    As far as I investigated, only way to do is that I combine two suject-areas by using set operations like "Union" or around.
    But in this way, there is an impractical restriction to define these datatype and column in common. (namely, "Union" conditions)
    I just want to query filtered by ex-query-results at anytime; for example, I extract a customer lists by one query and use various analysis in the group of customer list.
    Please give me some advise.
    Regards

    First create a Request with your FilterQuerey. Secund Create a Request und create a Filter. Under Advanced you will find the path to the first Requst. Than you can select the columns.
    Thats it :-)

  • How to use Query Builder in Oracle10g

    Since I'm new to Oracle , thus I'm facing some problem in some portions. When I went through the Query Builder option, actually I was not able to build the query as some of the features present in it were not clear to me like the "Condition" part and if I need to perform some join in it, how would that part work on it.
    Please reply and help me out. Thanks.
    Regards,
    Praveen Rai

    Query Builder is level 8.0, it's part of desupported developer 6i. Installation media has an online manual, which answers your questions. You should consider an alternative like SQLDeveloper. Query Builder may still work with 10g, but no guarantee.

  • How to use query method in bopf?

    following was the code written to return the key.
    CALL METHOD lr_srv_mgr->query
         EXPORTING
           iv_query_key            = zif_viv_trq_c=>sc_query-root-test_query

    *     et_data                 =
           et_key                  = lt_trq_key.
    however the lt_trq_key was not filled.
    what is the significance of parameters
    is_query_options       
    iv_fill_data           
    it_requested_attributes .

    Hi Vivek,
    If you require only key, there is no need to pass values to IV_FILL_DATA & IT_REQUESTED_ATTRIBUTES.
    Before you call the method, you should fill the lt_filter.
       DATA lt_filter       TYPE         /bobf/t_frw_query_selparam.
        DATA lt_filter       TYPE         /bobf/s_frw_query_selparam.
        ls_filter-attribute_name = '<SEARCH_CRITERIA>'.
        ls_filter-sign = '<SIGN>'.
        ls_filter-option = '<OPTION>'.
        ls_filter-low = <SEARCH_VALUE>
        APPEND ls_filter TO lt_filter.
    <SEARCH_CRITERIA> -> Search Criteria within single quotes in captial letter. This should be one of the component in Query structure of test_query.
    <SIGN' -> sign, I - Range limit included or E - Range limit excluded
    <OPTION> -> range types option, It may be EQ, BT, CP, LE, GE, NP, NB, GT, LT
    Thanks,
    Dhivya.
