Lookup in the same table

Hi All
I have a data model looking like this:
Table 1.
Flyer code
Article
Link
1
Fujifilm Finepix Jv 500 14.0 Mp
link 1
1
Fujifilm Finepix Sl 300 14.0 Mp
link 2
1
Lg 32 Ln5400 Led "32
link 3
2
Lg 42 La640s Led "42
link 4
2
Lg 42 Ln5400 Led "42
link 5
2
Lg 47 La640s Led "47
link 6
(there are more columns but it is not necessary to show all)
What I want to do is to add calculated column with lookuplinks. I do not need link to a given article but one link for each flyer which could be represented by any of article's links. So my data model should look like this:
Table 1.
Flyer code
Article
Link
Lookuplink
1
Fujifilm Finepix Jv 500 14.0 Mp
link 1
link 1

Fujifilm Finepix Sl 300 14.0 Mp

Lg 32 Ln5400 Led "32

Lg 42 La640s Led "42

link 4
2
Lg 42 Ln5400 Led "42
link 5
link 4
2
Lg 47 La640s Led "47
link 6
link 4
How to do this?

As you can see in my source Table 1 I have a Flyer code "1" corresponding with three links (Link 1, Link, 2 , Link 3)
Each link connect to given article and indirectly also to a Flyer with code 1 .
In my pivot table based on this model I want to show the Flyer code corresponding with just one link. It could be
(Link 1, Link, 2 , Link 3) doesn't matter which one because all of them are assign not only to article but also to Flyer with code 1.
This is how my pivot should look like
Pivot. 1
Flyer code    Link
code 1          Link 1
code 2          Link 4
This is how my pivot looks like now:
Pivot 2.
Flyer code    Link
code 1          Link 1
                    Link 2
                    Link 3
code 2          Link 4
                    Link 5
                    Link 6
I do not need (Link 2, Link 3, Link 5, Link 6) in my pivot table.

LookUp to the same table with multiple conditions

Hi,
I nead to do a lookup to the same table in the flow but with diffrent quieres, each query contains it's own 'where'.
Can I do it somehow in one look up or do I have to use a few ?
select a from table where a=1
select b from table where c=3
Thanks

Hi,
Using multiple lookups will be a cleaner approach. If you are using multiple lookups on the same table consider using Cache transform. Refer the below link for details on Cache transform
Lookup and Cache Transforms in SQL Server Integration Services
Alternatively if you want to go ahead with single look up , you may have to modify the SQL statement in the Lookup accordingly to return the proper value. In you case it may be
select a,b from table where a=1 or c=3
Note : Consider the above as a pseudo code. This needs to be tested and applied based on your requirement.

Two LOVs in same UIX page based on the same table

Hi group,
Recently I ran into a problem with a UIX page that has two LOVs based on the same database table. In Emp and Job terminology, here's what I tried to do.
Suppose we have use the Employees and Jobs tables from the HR scheme with one small modification. Add a column called PREFERRED_JOB_ID of type VARCHAR2(10) which is exactly the same as JOB_ID. Hypothetically speaking, this column will be used to allow Employees to select their preferred job in case they want to change their jobs.
Next, create business components in JDeveloper based on the Employees and Jobs table. In order to be able to generate the LOVs for Job and PreferredJob create two ViewObjects, one called JobsLookupView and one called PreferredJobsLookupView. These both need to be based upon the same Jobs EntityObject. Also include the Jobs EntityObject twice in the EmployeesView ViewObject and give one the alias PreferredJobs. Include the JobTitle attributes of Jobs and PreferredJobs in EmployeesView so they can contain the JobTitles selected in our future LOVs.
Next create a ViewController project if it's not already there and enable JHeadstart on it. Create an Application Structure File and create the lookups for the two LOVs. When I run the application I see this happening:
When I click the flashlight icon next to the PreferredJob LOV and select a job, the PreferredJob field is selected in the UIX page but no job title appears. When I next first select the Job LOV and select a new job and then select the PreferredJob LOV again and select a different job, the job that was selected in the Job LOV is now also entered in the PreferredJob field. When I make sure the PreferredJob field isn't required (remove the required="yes" property on the messageLovInput entry for PreferredJobTitle and remove the PreferredJobTitle field from the addRequiredRowItems list in the UIX page) I can save the changes I made in the Employees.uix page. The same JobId is stored in the database for Job and PreferredJob.
This behaviour is probably due to cacheing issues because both LOVs and the EmployeesView ViewObject use one EntityObject for four values in three ViewObjects.
So I then modified my model a bit. I created a new EntityObject called PreferredJobs based on the JOBS table. I modified the EmployeesView ViewObject to use this EntityObject for the PreferredJobTitle attribute and modified the PreferredJobsLookupView to use this EntityObject.
I needed to modify a few things as well in the Application Structure File (which were prompts and whether or not the attribute should be visible in a table) and after regenerating I made sure the PreferredJob attribute isn't required in the UIX page. When I then run the application again, I never see the JobTitle I select in any LOV allthough the PreferredJob field is selected when I select a Job in the PreferredJob LOV. The correct JobId now is stored in the database though.
Has anyone ever encoutered this behaviour? Would anyone know how to get two LOVs based on the same table in one UIX page?
Thanks in advance,

OK I figured it out. When I added the second Lookup ViewObject (PreferredJobs) no additional Association was created. Therefore, ADF BC wasn't able to figure out which field to update. When I added the Association between the PreferredJobs Lookup ViewObject and the Employees ViewObject everything started working ok.
I then recreated my inital situation: one EntityObject for Jobs and one for Employees, now with two Associations between them. After modifying the Employees ViewObject and making sure the Jobs EntityObject was referred twice and via the corresponding Association, everything started working ok.

Mapping to the same table through multiple references

Hello,
I'm trying to map aggregate fields (from my target) to mutlitple tables (back on my source), but am hung up because I need multiple references to the same table (basically a lookup values table) in my target. I believe that the problem lies in not being able to reference (in the mapping workbench at least) the same table more than once (such as through an alias, or otherwise defining multiple references) in the multi-tables tab. Is there a way around this, or some other approach to mapping it that I can take?
Thank you,
John

Not exactly sure what you are trying to do, perhaps listing the object model and data model would help.
If you are having trouble mapping the aggregate in the Mapping Workbench you may be able to workaround the problem through using a descriptor or project amendment method and defining the mapping through the code API.

Several FKs to the same table

Hello,
I have a master table with several Forign Keys all of them to the same table. In order to display a column from the lookup table I'm using a select like:
select     m.code,
     m.lcode1, f1.label,
     m.lcode2, f2.label,
     m.lcode6, f6.label
from      MTABLE m,
     FTABLE f1,
     FTABLE f2,
     FTABLE f6
Where      m.lcode1 = f1.code and
     m.lcode2 = f1.code and
     m.lcode6 = f6.codeIs this the correct and optimal way of doing it?
Thanks for the help,
Arie.

Arie,
It sounds like perhaps the best way might be to create your forms/reports based upon a view instead of the underlying tables (especially if you are running 10gR1 or 10gR2).
I say this because:
1. With 10g (maybe even back in 9i?), you can create INSTEAD_OF triggers, so instead of manipulating (insert, update or delete) the view, the trigger has the code to perform the action to the underlying base tables instead.
2. This makes development easier, since all your joins are pre-defined in one place instead of re-creating them in numerous places.
3. Grants can be issued to the views, instead of the various tables, with just select privs to the lookup tables.
4. Change your join conditions to use the JOIN syntax, LEFT OUTER JOIN, etc., whatever is appropriate for your query. It's much easier to (eventually) figure out and maintain when you have multiple join conditions (especially against multiple tables), when any or all of them could null.
For details on the JOIN syntax or the INSTEAD_OF triggers, try the on-line Oracle documentation (I'm at home today and don't have all my reference material handy).
I'm using the above with great success (so far). I'm swamped with different work projects and different bosses and different priorities, so anything that makes my life easier is worth a couple hours of research, even if I have to do it from home in my off-time (if I can fit it into my schedule). I've been working on an HTMLDB (AppEx) application for over a year now, but I've probably only spent about 40-60 hours actually working on it, so I'm always forgetting most of what I've previously learned and done.

Multiple key lookups to the same dimension

I have a fact table that has columns old_item and new_item. These are both foreign keys to the items dimension.
The source has old and new item codes. Therefore I want to do two key lookups to the item dimension.
Using the key lookup function the generated code combines the two lookups into one thus giving the wrong result. That is the lookup become like shown below,
INSERT INTO "FT1"
"L1_ID",
"L1_ID1"
SELECT "DT1"."L1_ID" "L1_ID",
"DT1"."L1_ID" "L1_ID$0"
FROM "ST1" "ST1",
"DT1" "DT1"
WHERE ("DT1"."L1_ID" (+) = "ST1"."C1")
AND ("DT1"."L1_ID" (+) = "ST1"."C2")
Does anyone know how to get WB to produce the correct code?
I can create my own transforms to do this but can it be done using the key lookup function?
Thanks

Jean-Pierre,
I think Jeffrey didas you adviced. The problem is that even when you are using two different key lookup objects referencing the same table, the table is used only once in the select-statement, but with both conditions, instead of selecting the table twice, each with its own alias and conditions.
Matbe that you can tell us which version does generate the correct code. I have have tested it again with OWB 9.0.3.35.1 (the latest version I believe), and still ran into this and many other problems.
If you don't want to use a transformation, my advice would be not to use the key lookup object at all, but stick to the joiner object to join the lookup tables with the source table(s). The "drawback" is that you have to write the extra conditions yourself.

Data of column datatype CLOB is moved to other columns of the same table

Hi all,
I have an issue with the tables having a CLOB datatype field.
When executing a simple query on a table with a column of type CLOB it returns error [POL-2403] value too large for column.
SQL> desc od_stock_nbcst_notes;
Name Null? Type
OD_STOCKID N NUMBER
NBC_SERVICETYPE N VARCHAR(40)
LANGUAGECODE N VARCHAR(8)
AU_USERIDINS Y NUMBER
INSERTDATE Y DATE
AU_USERIDUPD Y NUMBER
MODIFYDATE Y DATE
VERSION Y SMALLINT(4)
DBUSERINS Y VARCHAR(120)
DBUSERUPD Y VARCHAR(120)
TEXT Y CLOB(2000000000)
NBC_PROVIDERCODE N VARCHAR(40)
SQL> select * from od_stock_nbcst_notes;
[POL-2403] value too large for column
Checking deeply, some of the rows have got the data of the CLOB column moved in another column of the table.
When doing select length(nbc_providercode) the length is bigger than the datatype of the field (varchar(40)).
When doing substr(nbc_providercode,1,40) to see the content of the field, a portion of the Clob data is retrieved.
SQL> select max(length(nbc_providercode)) from od_stock_nbcst_notes;
MAX(LENGTH(NBC_PROVIDERCODE))
162
Choosing one random record, this is the stored information.
SQL> select length(nbc_providerCode), text from od_stock_nbcst_notes where length(nbc_providerCode)=52;
LENGTH(NBC_PROVIDERCODE) | TEXT
-------------------------+-----------
52 | poucos me
SQL> select nbc_providerCode from od_stock_nbcst_notes where length(nbc_providerCode)=52;
[POL-2403] value too large for column
SQL> select substr(nbc_providercode,1,40) from od_stock_nbcst_notes where length(nbc_providercode)=52 ;
SUBSTR(NBC_PROVIDERCODE
Aproveite e deixe o seu carro no parque
The content of the field is part of the content of the field text (datatype CLOB, containts an XML)!!!
The right content of the field must be 'MTS' (retrieved from Central DB).
The CLOB is being inserted into the Central DB, not into the Client ODB. Data is synchronized from CDB to ODB and the data is reaching the client in a wrong way.
The issue can be recreated all the time in the same DB, but between different users the "corrupted" records are different.
Any idea?

How do I sum across the same table in multiple sheets?

So I'm trying to figure out an annoying problem.
I have a largish (100's) amount of data with each collection being a table in a sheet, one sheet per data collection. This means I have 100's of sheets, each with the same table name and layout. Each sheet has several hundred data points in it.
How do I do a sum across all of the same table in all the sheets?
For example I want to do Sum('Data Sheet Number *'::'Table 1'::A1) to get a sum of everything in all the A1 cells of all the sheets named 'Data Sheet Number ' followed by anything (I'm using the star in the same way one would do it in a shell...)
Thanks!

Multiple and conditions in the same table

Ok I am going to kick myself for this, but I can't figure it out. I am trying to figure out how to find employees which match multiple criteria in the same table.
create table emp
(empno number,
name varchar2(10))
create table skills
(skill_id   number,
skill_code varchar2(20))
create table emp_skills
(empno    number,
skill_id number,
rating   number)
insert into emp values(1, 'SMITH');
insert into emp values(2, 'JONES');
insert into skills values (1, 'SQL');
insert into skills values (2, 'PLSQL');
insert into skills values (3, 'JAVA');
insert into emp_skills values(1,1, 8);
insert into emp_skills values(1,2, 9);
insert into emp_skills values(1,3, 10);
insert into emp_skills values(2,1,9);
insert into emp_skills values(2,2,2);
insert into emp_skills values(2,3,7);Now I need to come up with a query finding all employees who match all 3 of the following criteria:
1) Have at least a 5 rating in SQL
2) Have at least a 6 rating in PLSQL
3) Have at least a 7 rating in JAVA
So using this I would expect to return only SMITH since his/her skills meet all 3 criteria. I dont want to use OR in my query since I want all 3 to match not just one of them.
I have a feeling I will need to self join the table - but this is going to be part of a dynamic query for APEX where the users can choose the skills and ratings they want employees to adhere to, so I dont know the number of criteria or the exact criteria in advance. But I figure if I can get a proof of concept SQL I can make it work dynamically.
Any ideas are appreciated - sorry for the long post but I figure more detail is better

with es1 as(
select s.skill_code, es.empno, es.rating
from skills s, emp_skills es
where s.skill_id = es.skill_id

How can I align two different text row in the same table in two different way (one centered and the other one on the left)?

Hi,
I want to center two different text row that are in the same table but one on the center and the other one on the left. I put a <span> tag hoping that it has been overwhelmed the table's class properties The .bottomsel's font-family and the .Cig84's font-family and colour work but the text-align don't: they're both on the left.
These are my source and CSS codes:
Source:
<table width="600" border="0">
<tr>
    <td class="bottomref"><p><span class="bottomsel">| <a href="index.html" target="_self">Main</a> | <a href="about.html" target="_self">About</a> | <a href="clients.html" target="_self">Clients</a> | <a href="contact.html" target="_self">Contact</a> |</span><br />
      <span class="credits">Credits: <span class="Cig84">Cig84</span></span></p></td>
</tr>
</table>
CSS:
.bottomsel {
text-align: center;
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
.credits {
text-align: left;
.Cig84 {
color: #F00;
font-family: "Comic Sans MS", cursive;

Use paragraph tags with CSS classes.
CSS:
     .center {text-align:center}
     .left {text-align:left}
HTML:

How to read the hierarchy data from the same table using loop in AMDP method

Hi All,
We have a requirement to get the top partner from BUT050 table.
Here the Top parent is nothing but the top most in the hierarchy of the partners from BUT050.
Example:
For partner 1234 (BUT050-PARTNER1) there is partner 3523(BUT050-PARTNER2) one level above
For partner 3523(BUT050-PARTNER1) there is partner 4544 (BUT050-PARTNER2) last level .
so in this case for the partner 1234 the Top parent is 4544 .
I have created AMDP Procedure method to get the top-parnet and below given is the logic implemented in AMDP method.
Here i have implemented a recursive logic with the WHILE loop to get the top most hierarchy partner from the same table BUT050
IV_Parent is the input partner and ev_top_parent is the output value.
AMDP Procedure Method:
    DECLARE lv_date VARCHAR(8) := TO_VARCHAR (current_date, 'YYYYMMDD');
    DECLARE found INT := 1;
          iv_partner1 = SELECT partner1 FROM but050
                          WHERE partner2 = iv_partner
                          AND reltyp = :iv_hierarchy
                          AND date_to >= :lv_date
                          AND date_from <= :lv_date;
     WHILE found <> 0 do
       select partner1 into ev_top_parent from :iv_partner1;
                       iv_partner1 = SELECT partner1 FROM but050
                       WHERE partner2 in ( select partner1 from :iv_partner1 where partner1 is not null)
                       AND reltyp = 'ZBP004'
                       AND date_to >= :lv_date
                       AND date_from <= :lv_date;
       select COUNT ( partner1 ) INTO found FROM :IV_PARTNER1;
    END WHILE;
This method is working fine, but here it is only taking one single partner and getting the top parent as output.
Now i would like to convert this mehtod so as to accept n number of partners (not one single partner) as input and should process each partner to get the top parent.
Could anyone guide me how can i handle the given AMDP method further so as to work some how it is within another loop from other AMDP method.
Thanks.
Regards,
Laxman.P

Hi

Load Data from a table on one server's database, to the same table structure in multiple server databases

Hi,
I have a situation where i have to load data from one server/database table to multiple servers/databases.
Example:
I need to load data from dbo.TABLE_A (on Server: Server_A & Database: Database_A) to the same table on the list of server databases like
Server: Server_B , Database: Database_B
Server: Server_C , Database: Database_C
Server: Server_D , Database: Database_D
Server: Server_E , Database: Database_E
Server: Server_F , Database: Database_F
Server: Server_G , Database: Database_G
Server: Server_H , Database: Database_H
so on and so forth on 250 such server database combinations.
The table structure is the same on all the servers.
If i make the source or destination dynamic, it throws an error while mapping ?
I cannot get Linked server permissions and SQL Server Config thing doesn't work as well.
Please suggest on how to load data from one source to multiple server/databases.
Thank you.

I just need to transfer one table's data. its like i have to use a query to pick data for
the most recent data. So i use something like, select A, B, C, D from dbo.table where ETL_TIMESTAMP > (the max(etltimestamp) in the destination on different server). There are no foreign key relationships and the data should not be truncated. it just had
to append the new records.

A standard disclaimer, the mutating trigger error is telling you that you really, really, really don't want to be doing this. It generally indicates a major data model problem when you find yourself in a situation where the data in one row of a table depends on the data in another row of that same table. In the vast majority of cases, you're far better off fixing the data model than in working around the problem.
If you are absolutely sure that you cannot fix the data model and must work around the problem, you'll need
- A package with a collection (or global temporary table) to store the keys that are modified
- A before statement trigger that initializes the collection
- A row-level trigger that adds the keys that were updated to the collection
- An after statement trigger that iterates over the data in the collection and updates whatever rows need to be updated.
If you're on 11g, this can be simplified somewhat by using a compound trigger with separate before statement, row-level, and after statement sections.
Obviously, though, this is a substantial increase in complexity over the single trigger you have here. That's one of the reasons that it's generally a bad idea to work around mutating table exceptions.

How to update a table (CUSTOMER) on a Report Server with the data from the same table (CUSTOMER) from another server Transaction server?

I had an interview question that is:
How to update a table (Customer) on a server ex: Report Server with the data from the same table (Customer) From another server ex: Transaction server?
Set up steps so inset, update or delete operation takes place across the servers.
It would be great if someone please enlighten me in details about this process in MS SQL Server 2008 R2.
Also please describe would it be different for SQL Server 2012?
If so, then what are the steps?
