Limitting the number of records in query

I like to limit the number of records retrieved in the query. I set Query All Records block property to NO, Query Array Size to the number I want to retrieve. Before doing that, I set form Preference - Array Processing checked. The result is form always retrieves all records meets the search condition. Could someone tell me what's wrong with it?

I do not understand why and what exactly you want to do. The query array size defines the number records your form should fetch at a time, i.e. if you have 100 records in the database and you set the array size to 20, forms will perform 5 fetch cycles to retrieve all records. However, this is transparent to the user and he will see all 100 records. This property is used for performance tuning when working with a large volume of records.

Limiting the number of records to be pooled from the database in DB adapter

Hi
I am using Oracle SOA 11g and Jdeveloper 11.1.1.4
My requirement is i need to poll on a database and process the records. I have a primary key on which i can do the polling.
My challenge over here is, I need to pick up one and only one record per 1 minute.
I tried to acheive this using the polling options
Database Rows per Transaction =1
Polling Frequency =60 Seconds
But when i deploy and run this process it is picking up all the records based on the criteria but not a single record.
Please help on how we can acheive the above requirement.
Thanks
Vamsi

I guess you haven't changed the setting in your schema file.
You need to set the Database rows per XML document to 1, you can see this setting in screen number 10, while configuring database adapter.
Have you ?

How do I count the number of records returned in the CMIS query

How do I count the number of records returned in the query CMIS?
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ora:t:IDC:GlobalProfile WHERE ora:p:xRegionDefinition = \'RD_PROJETOS_EXCLUSIVOS\''}
Euler Homero

Hi Euler,
interestingly enough, the reference guide for CMIS ( http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/CMIS_Query_Language ) that I found does not mention the COUNT function at all. On the other hand it states that: "The SELECT clause identifies which virtual columns to return in the result set. It can be either a comma-separated list of one or more queryNames of properties that are defined by queryable object types or * for all virtual columns."
There are, however, some other posts like e.g. http://alfrescoshare.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/count-the-total-number-of-documents-in-alfresco-using-sql/ which state that they could make it working.
Having asked in the WebCenter Portal forum, I assume that your content repository is WebCenter Content. The CMIS doc for the Content is available here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e15813.pdf (no COUNT there either). It does, however, mention explicitly that "CMIS queries return a Result Set where each Entry object will contain only the properties that were specified in the query.". This means your could rather investigate the Result Set. Note that there are also other means than CMIS how to get the requested result set (e.g. calling a search service directly via so-called RIDC).
In the given context I am also interested what your use case is. OOTB CMIS in WebCenter Portal is used, for instance, in Content Presenter, where it is content rather than "parameters" what's displayed.

How to count the number of records retreived through a query?

Dear All
I want to find the total number of records retreived for a particular query .
does BW provide any internal count function , which can solve my requirement??
if yes, please provide some details.
Thanks.
Regards,
Pandurang.

hi pandurang
when u see the contents of a particular cube
RSA1->Infocube->manage->contents
there is a option "Output number of Hits"
An extra keyfigure is created displaying the number of records rolled up
Aggregating the column might just solve ur issue
Try

Returning the number of records retrieved by a query

Hi everyone,
I did a search on this question, but I'm still unclear as to why it's so difficult to retrieve the number of records returned by a query.
What is the easiest and most straight-foward way ?
Thanks,
Bob

Shay
I am confused. I still do not know how to achieve the count of records retrieved in a block. I have viewed the viewlet calculated field demo. I am unclear of what you were refering to when you said use the count as the function.
I did try setting function to be "get_block_property('myblock',query_hits)", but this always had value of zero. But I do not think this is what you meant.
Has anybody been able to answer the original question?

Variable to hold the number of records returned by the SQL Query.

Hi folks,
Is there any way to hold the number of records that could be returned by the SQL query we use to make a report?
If so, please do come up with the answer.
Cheers,
PCZ.

Hi there,
Well, there is no actual business requirement.
It is just the curiosity of mine.
I would like to handle
1) the number of records our report query returns or
2) the query itself
to write a better pl/sql code in any trigger/program unit, if any business logic beckons in future.
Cheers,
PCZ.

Limit the number of record to download to excel from a report

I am just wondering if there is a way to limit the number of rows that I want to download to excel from a report in apex, right now when I click download to excel it downloads all records. If I am displaying 15 records on report page I want the ability to download only those records.
Any help with that would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Sofia.

Sofia,
The same report query runs for downloading the data into excel, I don't think you can limit the number of records in download.
You can achieve it using custom code, like on click of download excel redirect to another page and then restrict the data as per your need, or you can use the custom procedure to download the limited data.

How to limit the number of records in WebI Report

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to display the WebI Report data only if the number if record is less than 65k.
Incase if the records are more than 65k then the report should be blank and a text message needs to be displayed.
The client dont want to set the number of records either in universe or at the edit query at the report. They want to limit once the report is executed.
Please let me know if its possible to do it at the report level.
Thanks in advance!!
Best Regards
SAP BO

Optional prompts are not a problem.
Assuming you first query uses the following SQL statement
select a,b,c from t where x=y and z=@prompt(...)
The query for checking the number of rows should use the following SQL code
select count(*) from t where x=y and z=@prompt(...)
The original query should be modified as follows
select a,b,c from t where x=y and z=@prompt(...) AND (select count(*) from t where x=y and z=@prompt(...)) < 65000

How to calculate the number of records in Multiprovider

Hi Experts
I have created a report based on the multiprovider (Consist of Cube and ODS)
I need count the number of records inside the multiprovider, how can i do it in the reporting level
Regards
Santosh

Hi,
You can use calculated key figure with replacement path variable.
Follow This:
1) From the context menu of the Key Figure directory, choose New Calculated Key Figure.
2) From the context menu for the Formula Variable, choose New Variable.
3) Choose the Processing type as Replacement Path.
4) In the next screen, select the Characteristic Info Object based on which the number of documents is to be displayed in the report (For example: Document Number / Order Number).
5) Choose Next.
In the Replace Variable with drop down box, choose Attribute Value.
In the Attribute drop down, select Characteristic Reference (Constant 1).
6)Choose Next.
On the Save Variable page, an overview of the settings made for the variable will be displayed.
Confirm the entries and Choose Finish.
7) If the Formula variable is directly assigned to the Calculated Key Figure, a warning Calculated Key Figure is not defined correctly will be displayed while executing the Query.
8) Properties of Calculated Key Figure dialog box, assign a Technical name for the CKF.
9) set the Time of Calculation to After Aggregation.
Hope this will help you.
Cheers,
DK

How to get the number of records of a streaming result set

Hi guys.
So if it wasn't a streaming result set, I would have done this:
{noformat}myResultSet<code class="jive-code jive-java">.last();
{color:navy}*int*{color} numResults = </code>myResultSet<code class="jive-code jive-java">.getRow();
</code>myResultSet<code class="jive-code jive-java">.beforeFirst();
</code>{noformat}
but being a streaming result set, beforeFirst() throws an exception...
So how do you get the number of records in that result set? I wanna avoid an extra count(*) query, so I would appreciate other solutions than that.

If you get an exception, then you surely have a stack trace. That should tell you what happens, or at least where.com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.checkForOutstandingStreamingData(MysqlIO.java:2066)
Why do you need to know the number of elements beforehand, anyway?I need to know the number of elements because the incoming data goes into a table. Now of course, I could use ArrayList<String[]> or something, but wouldn't that require more memory resources than Object[][] ?
No one can tell you that, at least not without more information (say, the stack trace for example).Here's the exception message:
java.sql.SQLException: Streaming result set com.mysql.jdbc.RowDataDynamic@10c0ef2 is still active. Only one streaming result set may be open and in use per-connection. Ensure that you have called .close() on any active result sets before attempting more queries.

Restrict the number of records to be fetched

Hello Gents,
The situation is like this, I have a report on Oracle reports 6i which fetches 2+ million records and it takes lot of time to generate,
I’m not sure whether it can be handled in discoverer because the report has some validation procedures (Program Unit) and triggers.
I want to restrict the number of records to be fetched in groups; I have gone through of Oracle online help
1. Group Filer: Filter fetches all records from database and displays only the number of records which is set to the property
2. Maximum Rows to Fetch: This property fetches only the number of records which is set to the property.
I want to fetches records incrementally; I don’t want to keep resources busy
Is there any property similar like Discoverer “Retrieve data incrementally in groups of” or any workaround?
Help or any advice is appreciated

If you generate a pdf, it has to fetch all records for pdf.
If its in previewer: do you display total number of pages on the report?. If yes, >remove that and see how it comes. Other options are tunning queries and gather >the data into temp table before displaying it on the report. No, I'm generating a pdf
No, the report is not having display page no on it.
If I would have to create temp table, I would have used discoverer instead
Is there any property in reports to restrict the query to get the data in groups?
Any advice appreciated.

MDM Limitation Maximum number of records ?

Hello,
we have requirement to implement SAP MDM. Customer has 20 million entries for its customer data. Can MDM support this? I heard maximum MDM can handle only 6 millions entries, above that it cannot work.
Please confirm.

Hi Dony,
I think you need to do sizing as per number of records.
https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001921872008E
You need SAP Service Market place SUID and Password for open above link (MDM sizing guide).
I think you can check with SAP if you still have doubts regarding the number of records.
Please find similar thread as given below:
Does MDM 7.1 have any limitations re: number of records per repository?
Hope this helps..

Count the number of records between two key values (BTREE)

How can I count the number of keys between two values?
I'm using python driver, and BTREE access method.
====>
ideally what I want is to average a whole time-series data set (the intervals can change) to a given number of points. The keys are the time stamps and the values are the data that needs to be averaged. I need to count the number of records between two time stamps so that I can divide that number by the number of points i need, and average the data. What is the best way to do this? Or should I just keep the intervals for the time stamp constant and use RECNO access method?
Thank you
(first post btw.. and why aren't there many people in stackoverflow who answer Berkeley DB questions?)

BDB is an embedded db and it does not have any internal counters or statistics that you could grap to use for this. You will need to do it manually.
You can create a cursor, grap the records you want, each time you get the next record you bump a counter.
If you are using RECNO, you can use a cursor to get the record number of the record (DB_GET_RECNO), and if all you data is in
sequentail records with no missing records you can figure out the total count by take last rec # - initial rec # + 1 to get a total count.
If you switch over to the SQL API, you can issue a SQL query to give you a count. Select count(*) Where .......
Since you have to grab the data anyway, then best may be to count records as you go along.
thanks

Fetching the number of records in a multi-record block...

Hi ,
In Forms10g runtime-and in previous releases too- there is , as a message, the number of records fetched/inserted in a multi-line block such as Record:5/9. Is it possible to catch these two numbers (i mean 5 and 9 , or at least the number of records)...not only in query but in the insert mode as well...?????
Many thanks ,
Simon

No, you can't capture that text, but you can write your own code to do the same thing.
