Java Aggregate Function

I'd like to write an aggregate funtion in Java. I've successfully implemented the types and methods in PL/SQL, but the documentation does not seem to provide any java examples. Just says, load the the CartridgeServices and ODCI packages, use a context, and have a go. I don't see the methods I used with PL/SQL:
ODCIAggregateInitialize()
ODCIAggregateIterate()
ODCIAggregateTerminate()
ODCIAggregateMerge()
I expected to see java implementations in the above packages, but maybe this is not what I should be using? Has anyone done this? Do I even need to override these functions?
Thanks,
Jason.

Hello again,
I opened a case at BEA's ticketing system and it took BEA about 3 weeks just to inform me that my company has no valid kodo-license and i therefore am not allowed to open tickets, which is not quite true, because my company has indeed a valid license - otherwise i wouldn't have been able to open a ticket in the first place.
To make a long story short, i did my best reporting this bug to BEA by posting in the forum and opening a case, and now i hope this thing's getting fixed anyway.
So long,
Markus

  • Java JDBC-ODBC GROUP BY (aggregate function) error

    I get the error
    "java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression 'CUSTOMER_ID' as part of an aggregate function."
    when I try to execute the following query:

    Funny thing is this query works fine when I execute it in Microsoft Access directly. I can't figure out what's causing the problem. Any help?

    Have you tried:

  • Lookiing for example of a user define aggregate function in Java

    I want to write an aggregate function in Java. Every example I found is in PL/SQL.
    I have written my fair share of JSPs, but this is different in that it is methods off an object.
    The documentation says it can be done in Java, but it's not clear to me how to define the ODCIAggregateInitialize, ODCIAggregateIterate, ODCIAggregateTerminate, and ODCIAggregateMerge methods.
    If any one can point me to, or send me, an example, I would be very grateful.
    TIA

    Hii Greg:
    You can find the code to implement a Domain Index for Oracle which uses ODCI Api in Java at.
    http://dbprism.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dbprism/ojvm/src/java/org/apache/lucene/indexer/LuceneDomainIndex.java?revision=1.29&view=markup
    This is the code of the implementation of the Lucene Domain Index:
    http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddgw7sjp_54fgj9kg
    The strategy to implement an use aggregate function is similar to implement a Domain Index.
    The PLSQL wrapper for the above code is:
    http://dbprism.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dbprism/ojvm/db/LuceneDomainIndex.sql?revision=1.20&view=markup
    Take a look at the code and if you have another question just drop me an email or post again into this list.
    Best regards, Marcelo.

  • Does EJBQL in JDeveloper support max aggregate function ?

    Does EJBQL in JDeveloper support max aggregate function ?
    I can't get it to work using select max(o.time) from MyObject o; It always returns the MyObject to me.
    Anybody knows how to do this ?
    Thanks.

    No one knows how exactly this works in JDeveloper 11g? As I see it, it's most likely a bug. For one, JDeveloper already supports plenty of databases and enforces some limitations on the useability of these databases where necessary (for instance, JDBC Positioning instead of Oracle's way of binding for the bind variables in a query). However, this enforcement does not happen with the WHERE clause of the view criteria in MySQL when you choose an operator that concatenates strings together in the WHERE clause, such as "contains". You'd expect it's smart enough to use different syntax for concatenating the strings, depending on the database (e.g., CONCAT for MySQL, || for Oracle). Second, lack of this enforcement should not break functionality, and here it does (searching with wildcards in LOV is just not possible declaratively with MySQL), which resembles a bug in the software.
    For now, I've completely rewritten the LOV in Java, so it's not declarative anymore, but programmatic. It works, resembles searching with "contains" and it stays that way, despite of the higher difficulty in maintenance, until this issue can be solved declaratively, by any means: via a patch release or via a workaround. I hope someone can provide me (and quite possibly others facing this issue) with insight upon this.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to get the value retruned by java script function into my jsp page

    Are you talking about server-side java code (servlets/jsp) or client side (applet)? Given we are in the JSP forum I'll assume we're talking server side.
    If so, you are making a common but fundamental mistake. JavaScript executes on the client, not on the server. If you want client data on the server it has to get there somehow. The simplest way to do this in JSP land is via HTTP. So... have your JavaScript code call a JSP (or servlet) and pass the value you want as a URL parameter. Of course this will also change the browser location, so if you don't want this to happen use a frame or iframe to capture your HTTP request.
    For example:
    Javascript....
    function someFunction() {
    return 1;
    var value = someFunction();
    location.href="somejsp.jsp?value=" + value;

  • Trying to create a Histogram type/object for aggregate functions

    Hi,
    I am trying to create an aggregate function that will return a histogram
    type.
    It doesn't have to be an object that is returned, I don't mind returning
    a string but I would like to keep the associative array (or something
    else indexed by varchar2) as a static variable between iterations.
    I started out with the SecondMax example in
    http://www.csis.gvsu.edu/GeneralInfo/Oracle/appdev.920/a96595/dci11agg.htm#1004821
    But even seems that even a simpler aggregate function like one strCat
    below (which works) has problems because I get multiple permutations for
    every combination. The natural way to solve this would be to create an
    associative array as a static variable as part of the Histogram (see
    code below). However, apparently Oracle refuses to accept associate
    arrays in this context (PLS-00355 use of pl/sql table not allowed in
    this context).
    If there is no easy way to do the histogram quickly can we at least get
    something like strCat to work in a specific order with a "partition by
    ... order by clause"? It seems that even with "PARALLEL_ENABLE"
    commented out strCat still calls merge for function calls like:
    select hr,qtr, count(tzrwy) rwys,
    noam.strCat(cnt) rwycnt,
    noam.strCat(tzrwy) config,
    sum(cnt) cnt, min(minscore) minscore, max(maxscore) maxscore from
    ordrwys group by hr,qtr
    Not only does this create duplicate entries in the query result like
    "A,B,C" and "A,C,B" it seems that the order in rwycnt and config are not
    always the same so a user can not match the results based on their
    order.
    The difference between my functions and functions like sum and the
    secondMax demonstrated in the documentation is that secondMax does not
    care about the order in which it gets its arguments and does not need to
    maintain an ordered set in order to return the correct results. A good
    example of a built in oracle function that does care about all its
    arguments and probably has to maintain a similar data structure to the
    one I want is the PERCTILE_DISC function. If you can find the code for
    that function (or something like it) and forward a reference to me that
    in itself would be very helpful.
    Thanks,

  • EJB 3.0: EJBQL aggregate functions not working properly

    Hi!
    We are experiencing problems when using aggregate functions within EJBQL queries. In my case, we have to use max() function to retrieve the max start_date from a specific table. In order to do this, we wrote the following code:
    String strQuery = "select max(o.dt_fim) from Questionario o";
    Query queryTeste = em.createQuery(strQuery);
    List x = queryTeste.getResultList();
    OBS: dt_fim is an Oracle 10g datetime column, with its corresponding entity attribute in Questionario entity class.
    AFAIK, the query above should return only one record (object instance) containing the date value, right? However, it brougth a list of the entity objects, corresponding to all records in the table, as we had just run "select o from Questionario o".
    Examining the server log we can see this behavior:
    [TopLink Fine]:2006.09.12 01:47:55.526--
    ServerSession(7119662)--Connection(7048401)--Thread(Thread[ApplicationServerThread-0,5,RequestThreadGroup])
    --SELECT ID_QUEST, DT_INICIO, DT_FIM, DS_QUEST, DT_CRIACAO, TP_QUEST, NM_QUEST, COD_SEGMENTO, ID_GRUPO FROM TBBOP_QUEST
    Are anyone experiencing this issue?
    Is there any workaround?
    Any help would be much appreciated, since we need to deploy the application for user testing asap.
    Thanks in advance.

    I create a pivot table using wizard, everything ok except one thing: as i understand, in pivot table for data in rows we can use only one kind of aggregate function e.g. only sum or only count.
    Is there any way to use different aggregate functions in data cells?
    Thank you

    As you can see, when we use crosstab tag we can specify only one aggregate function for data cells.
    Is there any way to get in XSL-FO (where we can what really happens) instead of:
    <T1>
    <xsl:value-of select="sum(current-group()/_BI_PERS_ACCOUNT_CARD_._BI_PAC_UNID_)"/>

  • Why doesn't PIVOT clause work with COLLECT aggregate function in 11g ?

    Hello all !
    I am really puzzled as to what is considered an aggregate function in the context of the PIVOT clause in 11g.
    I have been toying with quite a few things related to collections lately and this arose as an aside :
    CREATE TABLE TEST_COLL
       NODE_ID    VARCHAR2(15 CHAR) NOT NULL,
       NODE_VALUE VARCHAR2(45 CHAR) NOT NULL,
       NODE_LEVEL NUMBER(1)         NOT NULL
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TREE_NODE AS OBJECT
       NODE_KEY  VARCHAR2( 15 CHAR),
       NODE_NAME VARCHAR2(127 CHAR)
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TREE_NODES AS TABLE OF TREE_NODE NOT NULL;At this stage I am sure we all agree that the query
    SELECT NODE_LEVEL,
           CAST(COLLECT(TREE_NODE(NODE_ID, NODE_VALUE)) AS TREE_NODES) AS NODES
      FROM TEST_COLL
    GROUP BY NODE_LEVEL;is perfectly valid as the COLLECT function is an aggregate function according to the [Official Documentation|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10592/functions031.htm#i1271564]
    But then, one of the following two queries should work
    SELECT CAST(REGION_NODES     AS TREE_NODES) AS REGIONS,
           CAST(DEPARTMENT_NODES AS TREE_NODES) AS DEPARTMENTS,
           CAST(AREA_NODES       AS TREE_NODES) AS AREAS,
           CAST(CENTRE_NODES     AS TREE_NODES) AS CENTRES
      FROM (SELECT NODE_LEVEL, TREE_NODE(NODE_ID, NODE_VALUE) AS NODE
              FROM TREE_COLL
    PIVOT (COLLECT(NODE) FOR NODE_LEVEL IN (1 AS REGION_NODES,
                                             2 AS DEPARTMENT_NODES,
                                             3 AS AREA_NODES,
                                             4 AS CENTRE_NODES
    or (better)
    SELECT REGION_NODES     AS REGIONS,
           DEPARTMENT_NODES AS DEPARTMENTS,
           AREA_NODES       AS AREAS,

    ORA-56902: expect aggregate function inside pivot operationInvestigating further, I found the same behaviour when using XMLAGG as the aggregate function in the PIVOT clause.
    Is this normal ? And if it is, is there any other way to achieve the result I was anticipating ?

    Most likely a bug. But you can bypass it by using any other aggregate making sure group consists of a single row and apply collect to a pivoted value. Yes, the cost is double aggregation. And also there is another cost - you would need to create MAP member function otherwise aggreations like MAX/MIN, etc. will not work:
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TREE_NODE AS OBJECT
       NODE_KEY  VARCHAR2( 15 CHAR),
       NODE_NAME VARCHAR2(127 CHAR),
       map member function f return varchar2
    Type created.
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE BODY TREE_NODE AS
      map member function f return varchar2 is
      begin
         return NODE_NAME;
      end f;
    end;
    Type body created.
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TREE_NODES AS TABLE OF TREE_NODE NOT NULL
    Type created.

  • Aggregate functions cannot be used in group expressions

    Hi have report showing sales by Vendor. I need to list all the vendors with Monthly Total>5000 and combine the rest as "OTHER VENDORS"
    Vendor is a Group in my report, so I tried to put an expression as a Group on:
    =IIF(Sum(Fields!Mth_1_Sales.Value)>5000,Fields!Vendor_No.Value,"OTHER VENDORS")
    I've got an error: "aggregate functions cannot be used in group expressions"
    How do I get Vendors with Sales < 5000 into  "OTHER VENDORS" ?

    Hi,
    You need to group by Month on group expression,
    And you can use the same expression in the report column as 
    =IIF(Sum(Fields!Mth_1_Sales.Value)>5000,Fields!Vendor_No.Value,"OTHER VENDORS")
    Many Thanks

  • How can I use User-Defined Aggregate Functions in Timesten 11? such as ODCI

    Hi
    we are using Timesten 11 version and as per the documentation, it doesn't support User-Defined Aggregate Functions.
    So we are looking for alternatives to do it. Could you please provide your expert voice on this.
    Thanks a lot.
    As the following:
    create or replace type strcat_type as object (
    cat_string varchar2(32767),
    static function ODCIAggregateInitialize(cs_ctx In Out strcat_type) return number,
    member function ODCIAggregateIterate(self In Out strcat_type,value in varchar2) return number,
    member function ODCIAggregateMerge(self In Out strcat_type,ctx2 In Out strcat_type) return number,
    member function ODCIAggregateTerminate(self In Out strcat_type,returnValue Out varchar2,flags in number) return
    number
    How can I use User-Defined Aggregate Functions in Timesten 11? such as ODCIAggregateInitialize ?

    Dear user6258915,
    You absolutely right, TimesTen doesnt support object types (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13085_01/doc/timesten.1121/e13076/plsqldiffs.htm) and User-Defined Aggregate Functions.
    Is it crucial for your application? Could you rewrite this functionality by using standart SQL or PL/SQL?
    Best regards,
    Gennady

  • Can't have aggregate function in WHERE clause clause

    Dear all,
    I've created object in BO XI 3.1 Designer with following criterias:
    http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/833/20111201124314.th.jpg
    It is a simple number - 1,2,3,4,5.
    Now I need to use this object as a criteria for WHERE function in another object.
    http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/1543/20111201124717.th.jpg
    I receive an error "Can't have aggregate function in WHERE clause <clause>"
    How can I overcome this?
    P.S. I'm sorry in advance if such topic already exist - I didn't found one.

    Hi,
    You will have to use Sub query to achieve this. Give more details on what is available and what you need then i could help you out with the complete solution.
