MaxDB / SQL studio - command question..

Hello,
I have MaxDB7.6 installed in my system(winxP prof) during NW2004s ABAP installation.
I tried to connect in command line using 'superdba' and 'control', it connects.
dbmcli - d NSP -u superdba,admin
dbmcli - d NSP -u control,admin
At the same time, when I connect to SQL studio using
'control' user(admin is password), it fails with below error message.
Invalid authorization specification, -4008 POS(1) Unknown username/password combination return code :SQL ERROR (-4008)
But, it connects to SQL studio successfully using 'superdba' login id.
Could any body please throw some light on this..
thanks,
partha

Hi,
one difference (there are more differences!) between the 'control' and 'superdba' user is that one is a non-sql user (control) and the other a sql user (superdba).
The control user is the standard name for the DBM user, whereas 'superdba' is the standard name for the SYSDBA user.
More on this can be found in the documentation:

Replacement for MaxDB's SQL Studio

Is there a better frontend on the market to manage SQLs on MaxDB?
We had Oracle before with an excellent tool called GOLDEN => http://www.benthicsoftware.com/products.htm
Do you know any better for MaxDB???
Thanks.

Hi Rainer,
we're ofcourse interested in improving our SQL Studio tool, but let's see if I can help you with what we currently got.
1. Line numbering of SQL output does not work properly (if you have some 100 recs and you jump to the end if the output list, line numbers disappear)
Answer:
I've tried this on a local database with about 2500 results. Jumping from beginning to end or back does always show the correct line number.
I then tried it on a remote database, with a statement which showed over 10000 results, same thing: line numbers were showing all the time.
During page-wise jumping, sometimes I had to wait a second or 2, because I had enabled the 'clipped resultset.
2. There should be an easy way to UN-/COMMENT a complete block of SQL commands.
Answer:
If you select a block of text in the SQL Dialog window and right click the highlighted text, there should be an option to (un-)comment it.
3. If you have several SQL statements, all of them should appear in the output box.
Answer:
I'm sorry, I don't really know what you mean here. Do you mean that you specify multiple SQL statements and would like to see all results?
Hope that helps a bit.
Thanks & regards,
Roland
P.S.: btw. I am using SQL Studio version 7.6.00 Build 27

How to view /SAPAPO/ tables using SQL Studio question

Hi,
This is for Livecache 7.4 on AIX.
I have installed a SQL Studio 7.6. When I logged using SUPERDBA/admin, I can only see tables owned by SUPERDBA, SYS, and DOMAIN.
I cannot see any tables owned by SAP<LC Name>. I want to see details about table e.g. /SAPAPO/ORDKEY, which is owed by SAP<LC Name>.
Is it possible to see it using SQL Studio?
Please let me know if anybody has any idea about it.
Regards.
Sume.

Hello Sume,
If you would like to see details about table e.g. /SAPAPO/ORDKEY.
=>
Did you check the owner of this table?
=> You could check, for example, in LC10 -> liveCache:Monitoring
-> Problem Analysis -> Tables/Views/Synonyms ->
 Database Object Schema SAPLCT
 Name of Database Object *
 < execute >
 & review if the table /SAPAPO/ORDKEY is listed.
=> If the table is listed, you should be able to run the select statement as SAPLCT user on this table.
If you are sure that you was using the SAPLCT user, please
Check if this user has application tables:
< May be the password was changed from the default sap for the
Standard liveCache user, you should know it. >
dbmcli -d LCT -u control,control
dbmcli on LCT>sql_connect SAPLCT,sap
dbmcli on LCT> sql_execute select * from users
dbmcli on LCT> sql_execute select * from users

dbmcli on LCT>sql_execute select tablename from tables where owner='SAPLCT'
< If the SAPLCT is the owner of the liveCche application tables,
and the table /SAPAPO/ORDKEY will be listed. >
dbmcli on LCT> sql_execute select * from tables where owner='SAPLCT'
dbmcli on LCT> sql_execute select count(*) from "SAPLCT"."/SAPAPO/ORDKEY"
< to get number of the entries in the table with owner - SAPLCT >
dbmcli on LCT>exit
You could also to check what user did you set for the LCA connection.
And run //om16 transaction in the liveCache relevant client on the system
to see the entries in the /sapapo/ordkey & /sapapo/ordmap in liveCache in this client.
Question: What details you need about table /SAPAPO/ORDKEY?
 Do you have problems on your system?
Thank you and best regards, Natlia Khlopina

Default USR and PW for SQL Studio

I've searched the archives and not found the correct answer to this question. Have both MaxDB and Db manager 7.4 up and going with no problems. Installed the SQL Studio and it did not ask for pw, etc. The dbname is SDB. The default usr/pw for the manager is "control". I've tried the following in Studio so far;
control/control
SUPERDBA/admin
SAPSDBDB/SAPSDBDB
Any other suggestions or a pointer to where I might look?
Thanks,
Bob

Peter,
Guess I didn't explain my issue. The svr and db are registered. I can see the avialable info in Db Manager with no issues.
I created a new account in the DB Manager which I originally entere using the default pw.
However, when I open SQL Studio and attempt to connect, a logon dialog appears. None of the known usr/pw combo's work there. That is my issue. How to I create these in Studio, or what is the default?
I agree entirely about posting pw. The first thing a person should do when installing software, is to change the default pw. Our auditors check that frequently.
Thanks,
Bob

SQL Studio and DB Manager GUI - wrong installers

There is a bug in these downloads.
Under DB_Manager_GUI_7_6_Windows_x86_32_bit.exe is installer of SQL Studio, and under SAP_MaxDB_SQL_Studio_7_6_Windows_x86_32_bit.exe is installer of DB Manager GUI respectively.
Please switch/rename these files. Chris

Hello,
1)
Please review the document at
http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/default.htm -> Glossary -> Database Manager
"SAP MaxDB Database Manager is a database tool for creating and managing databases, database users, and Database Manager operators."
You could run the SAP MaxDB Database Manager without passwords, but you need the user/pwd information to connect to the database.
2)
You could check the default database user's , DBM Operator passwords in MaxDB Library:
http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/default.htm -> Glossary -> DBM Operator
http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/default.htm -> Glossary -> Database System Administrator
-> Changing Passwords of Standard Users
3)
If you have further questions/problems to connect to your database using Database Manager, please create the new thread. Please post also additional information :
What is the version of the database instance?
What SAP MaxDB Database Manager tool you are using < dbmcli ? Database Studio? DBMGUI? > ?
What version?
Thank you & best regards, Natalia Khlopina

SQL STUDIO ACCESS

All,
im new to MAXDB and i have installed it along with the SAP PORTAL installation. My server name ia ERP and the database name is J2E, but i was not able to login to the database using SQL Studio, any thoughts.. please let me know
BTW i get the following error
ODBC - Error:[SQLOD32 DLL][SAP DB] Invalid authorization specification;-4008 POS(1) Unknown user name/password combination. return-code: SQL_ERROR (-4008).
~Gopi

Hi,
logging onto your DB instance using SQL Studio requires a correct user-id and password. This user must be an SQL user. These are normally:
(sys)dba -> normally 'superdba' (standard password: admin)
sap-user (dba user) -> normally either 'sapr3', 'sap<sid>' or when using J2EE: 'sap<sid>db'. (where <sid> denotes the db instance name). (standard password: sap)

Unable to open file: "repscheme.sql" The command failed.

Hello,
I'm trying to apply the commands specified in repscheme.sql but am getting the error in the subject line when trying. The replication documentation did not specify the location to save repscheme.sql to, so I suspect I may have it in the wrong place.
It's currently saved to c:\temp\ - the same location as the masterds & subscriberds.
Thanks,
Gary

I assume that you are trying to run this from inside a ttIsql session? The 'default' location for .sql files, if no path is incldued is your current directory (i.e. the directory you were in when you started ttIsql. So, if you were in C:\Temp when you started ttIsql you could issue the following at the ttIsql command prompt:
Command> run repscheme.sql;
or
Command> run repscheme;
or
Command> *@repscheme.sql;*
or
Command> *@repscheme;*
If your current directory is elsewhere then you can give the full path of the file as follows; note that as the '\' character is the 'escape' character you have to escape it.
Command> run C:\\temp\\repscheme.sql;
or
Command> run c:\\temp\\repscheme;
or
Command> *@c:\\temp\\repscheme.sql;*
or
Command> *@c:\\temp\\repscheme;*
Is that what you were asking or have I misunderstood the question?

Need to execute SQL PLUS commands from C# code

Hello all,
This is my first question here and hopefully I will get my solution :)
Right now we are doing 3 tasks manually
1) Clearing everything from a DB.
We use sql plus and execute this :
RAMNIVAS_CI/RAMNIVAS_CI@orclwex3
set pages 0
set lines 80
spool c:\delete_objects_CI
select 'drop '||object_type||' '||object_name||';'
from user_objects;
spool off
start c:\delete_objects_CI.lst
purge recyclebin;
set pages 100
select count(*) from user_objects;
RAMNIVAS_CI/RAMNIVAS_CI@orclwex3 are the username and pwd which gets input when we paste entire thing in sql plus
2) Then we restore that DB again using sql plus to do it using the command:
imp file=CL.DMP log=CL.log buffer=1000000 fromuser=RAMNIVAS_CL touser=RAMNIVAS_CL statistics=none grants=n commit=y
3)Execute sql scripts on it using sql developer. (This is not hard I guess coz I know we can use oracle client)
4) Take backup using this command:
exp RAMNIVAS_CI/RAMNIVAS_CI@ORCLWEX3 file=CI.dmp log=CI.log direct=y compress=y buffer=1000000 grants=n statistics=none
Is there anything I cna do to execute SQL PLUS commands using c#?

Hi,
You can execute OS commands via the SHELL function provided in .NET. See the MSDN for more info.
Some of the things you can do directly from .NET via ODP and PLSQL, some not.
1) Dropping the user objects can be done via a plsql procedure where you open a cursor for "select 'drop '||object_type||' '||object_name||';' ..." and then use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to execute the resulting commands. You can invoke the procedure via ODP.
2) IMP is an exe, not a sqlplus command, so you're not actually using sqlplus there. You can still use the SHELL command though to invoke that.
3) Executing SQL Scripts via ODP.NET is not something you can do very easily. If you search the threads here you should be able to find some solutions others have come up with to parse the file and execute the statements one by one, but there's nothing built in to ODP to execute a script file.
You may want to just shell out to sqlplus user/pwd@db @scriptfile.sql but you may have issues trying to track down errors if any occurred, as I'm not sure where they go in that case.
4) just as with IMP, EXP is an exe, so you could shell out to that.
Corrections/comments welcome.

.......Embedding SQL PLUS commands inside PL/SQL.....

hai every body,
I have a doubt regarding sql plus commands and PL/SQL..I am using Oracle 10g..I have created 1 procedure for deletion/updation of transactions..and the number of effected rows I just displayed with using " *dbms_output.put_line* (SQL%ROWCOUNT)"..hence before executing the procedure the sqlPlus command "*SET SERVEROUTPUT ON*" should turn on..at most times it is forget to turn on and output becomes vague..
hence my question is "*Is there any package or any thing to execute sql plus commands(here it is SET SERVER OUTPUT ON) through PL/SQL statements???*"
with thanks,
jp@valapad

Easy PL/SQL supports PL/SQL commands and embedded SQL, which are found in the PL/SQL and SQL reference manuals.

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10592/toc.htm
It does not support the commands of other applications or languages such as SQL*Plus, Unix or COBOL for example.

Creating tables on SQL studio and viewing the table in the SAP system

i have just created a table using the SQL studio and wants to use it view it in the SAP system using the SAP logon. till now i have not found a way to create it therefore any help is much appreciated.

Hmm... you want to see tables via SAPLogon ??
Ok, let's assume you really want to access tables via ABAP instead.
For that you've two options:
1. Create the table in the ABAP dictonary (SE11) exactly like you created it in the database and activate the table.
After that you can access the table via SE16 or any ABAP as you like.
2. You don't create the table in the ABAP dictonary and use native SQL to access the data.
Neither of these options is meant to be the way to do it.
The correct way would be to design the whole table in the ABAP dictionary and create the table on the database from that.

Lars

SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format

Hi,
what is the SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format?

841731 wrote:
Hi,
what is the SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format?SQLPlus doesn't print, and it doesn't know about 'landscape' vs. 'portrait' any more than it knows about fonts. the only 'formatting' it knows is line size, page size. And all it does with line size is know where to insert a CR/LF pair (windows) or a CR (*nix). The only thing it knows to do with page size is repeat column headers.
The rest is up to whatever application you use to open the pure asciii text spool file.

What is SQL Studio. Do you have any idea ?

Hi
Please review this URL.
http://www.sapdb.org/7.4/sap_db_tools.htm
- What is SQL Studio. Do you have any idea ?
- I installed the same in my desktop ( Win XP). Unable to establish the connection to the database using my application login/pwd. Am I doing something wrong ?
- Do I have to install any other software for me to SQL Studio work. ?
- Where do I go and get more help ?
PS: I thought it is same like sqlplus but against SAP database, required application userid/pwd not the database login/pwd.
thanks

Embedded SQL against Oracle Question

Software: Forte 3.0.J.
Server Platform: HPUX 10.2
Database: Oracle
Problem Description: During the course of development, I ran into a
problem using multiple columns in an sql UPDATE/SET statement. I was trying
to update a.COLUMN_1 and a.COLUMN_2, which constitute part of the primary
key of associative TABLE_A (a). In order for me to make the update, I
needed to use the existing value of a.COLUMN_1 to lookup the new b.COLUMN_1
in TABLE_B (b). Where a.COLUMN_1 = b.RELATED_COLUMN_1, I am able to find
each b.COLUMN_2 that correspond to each a.COLUMN_2.
I was able to resolve the issue by separating the two columns so
that each had it's own select statement. Theoretically, it appears that
this shouldn't work, because the SET statement for a.COLUMN_1 would cause
the a.COLUMN_1 reference in the select statement of a.COLUMN_2 to be
overwritten.
In spite of this, I tried it, and it worked. I would like to
understand why the sql works, and how sql actually executes the statement.
Here is the sql:
UPDATE TABLE_A a
SET a.COLUMN_1 =
(SELECT DISTINCT b1.COLUMN_1
FROM TABLE_B b1
WHERE b1.RELATED_CASE_ID =
a.COLUMN_1 AND
b1.RELATED_COLUMN_TYPE_CD = 'NEPHI'),
a.COLUMN_2=
(SELECT DISTINCT b2.COLUMN_2
FROM TABLE_B b2
WHERE b2.RELATED_COLUMN_1=
a.COLUMN_1 AND
b2.RELATED_COLUMN_TYPE_CD = 'NEPHI' AND
b2.RELATED_COLUMN_2= a.COLUMN_2)
WHERE a.COLUMN_1 = 100
The table structure is as follows:
TABLE_A: (primary keys are bolded) This is an associative table.
Column_1 and Column_2 comprise the pk of one table; Column_3 and Column_4
comprise the pk of another table. Assume that the Column_1 and Column_2
values replacing the original values already exist in the parent table of
which they form the pk).
COLUMN_1
COLUMN_2
COLUMN_3
COLUMN_4
COLUMN_5
TABLE_B: (primary keys are bolded) This is a reference table.
COLUMN_1
COLUMN_2
RELATED_COLUMN_1
RELATED_COLUMN_2
RELATED_COLUMN_TYPE_CD

If you do an explain plan or set autotrace on against this update statement,
you'll find that the select operations are actually executed first by Oracle
- I believe because of the nature of the transaction. Thus, no problem.

How to find GUI SQL*Plus command tool in Oracle 8i (version 8.1.7)

I had installed Oracel 8i Enterprise Edition (version 8.1.7) on my server machine (Windows NT 4.0), I'd like to use Oracle Navigator (GUI SQL*PLUS command tool), but I can not find it from the menu. I know Oracle Navigator is available in Oracle 7. Can anyone tell me where and how to use GUI SQL*PLUS command tool in Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition (version 8.1.7) ?
thanks a lot.
David Zhu

Hi
Oracle Navigator is part of Personal Oracle7 and Oracle Lite. I don't know is it available in 8i Personal Edition but I am sure that it is not part of Standard and Enterprise Edition.

Unicode display in SQL Studio 7.5

Hello,
my SQL Studio displays Unicode strings as "??" when I display the contents of a table. The strings are stored correctly and can be retrieved from the DB intact.
I am testing with chinese.
Is there a setting to be changed or does the SQL Studio just display 8-bit characters?
thanks
Walter

Hi Roland,
yes I really tested these four areas and it is exactly the Result Window that does not do it.
Summing up: We know we use the newest available version of SQL Studio, we checked the country settings in our system, we experimented with the font settings in Studio and one of four areas does not work as expected.
Looks like an omission to me now (or maybe a bug ).
Here is how to produce the error:
- install the MS PinYin IME on your Windows system (this will enable you to enter chinese characters)
- in SQL Studio, take any table that has a string column.
- in SQL Dialog, do an
INSERT INTO table VALUES (1, "kuai4")
in which you switch to PinYin input to enter the character kuai4
- you will see the chinese char in the Status Window, too
- upon
SELECT * FROM table
the Result Window will show a "?"
Thanks
Walter
