Missing column in query results CF9

I've got a very simple table in mssql 2005 consisting of these columns:
id (pk int),
app_id (int),
name (varchar50),
dir_key (varchar50),
path (varchar100),
size_limit (smallint),
ext_limit (varchar50),
virtual_dir (varchar50)
My query, run via cfquery or as a query object in script:
SELECT * FROM dbo.tblAppUploadSettings WHERE app_id = 1
Now, when that query runs, column virtual_dir is missing in the result set. It is present when running the same query via sql management studio.
If I explicitly add virtual_dir to the select list ( *,virtual_dir ) then I get the column returned twice.
I've made sure to clear query cache, etc. but to no avail.
Any thoughts?

Which 'query cache' did you clear?

DO NOT USE
SELECT *
When you do, the database driver will cache the table structure the first time it is executed, and from then on it will not see any changes made to the table in the database, until such a time as this 'cache' is cleared. And the only way, AFAIK, to do this is to restart services and|or servers. This can lead to a whole host of hard to debug issues, such as the one you are experiencing.

PL/SQL to map query results to a column?

Is there a programmatic way to map the query result to a value in a table?
I have table A. There's a column with a carat-delimited string 0^0^1^ that I can parse with substr/instr functions. So, query that table/column for a 5th digit that sits between 5th and 6th ^ character.
There's table B. It has a 'position' column and 'key' column. How do I let the table A know that when I query table A for 5th digit, it needs to map to table B's where position=5?
thanks,

Did you try to run those statements? Please do so next time.
Also the creation of table C (or is it D) and E are missing.
However, the tricky part is in deciphering table A to make up for the flawed design.
I hope this piece of SQL is helpful for you, because you could join the outcome to your other tables:

Transferring multi-column query result into MS Excel

Hello everybody!
An ultimate novice in Oracle, with some database concepts, is here.
The very first challenge; which I encoutered is that I want to transfer a Select query result, with multiple columns, into MS Excel sheet in a way that each field occupies a separate column in the sheet.
I hope the forum members will show me a simple way to get around the problem.
Thanks in anticipation.
Rabi

what will happen the query returns too many rows that
Excel cant hold? I faced this problem and divided the
report into "n" numbers based on the number of rows
returned. Is there any internal logic for it in
oracle?Excel is capable of holding 65536 rows of data on a sheet.
Oracle is capable of writing data out to files.
Oracle does not know or care whether the file it is writing is for Excel or any other product, as the file you are likely to be writing is CSV (comma seperate format) which is an open format, not specifically for Excel. If you need to limit the number of rows per CSV file then you will have to code this "business logic" into your code that produces the CSV file from Oracle.

How to implement 'Quick Select' column in a query result table?

Hi,
I have a requirement in OAF to design a search page with 'Quick select' column.
One of the column in the query result table should be a quick select.
Once user clicks on the quick select column, we have to navigate back to the previous page with the row value selected.
Can anyone help me in this.
Thanks.

Also refer the search exercise in the toolbox tutorials.
you can implement the quick search in the same way as update and delete buttons.

Query Result Column Order

I'm working with an embedded db query that specifies columns
by name in the result set, i.e., no *. However, the order of the
columns in the result set seem to be quite random - or at least
dependent on which column is being searched. I'm showing the
results via "resultsGrid." How do I enforce a consistent column
order in query results?
Thanks,
Al

What you describe boils down to a reinvention of materialized views.
Did you consider using them?

Conversion away from column type may result in sub-optimal query plan

For what it is worth, whenever you compare a date column to either sysdate or any built-in function returning a date you will get that warning.

Displaying SQL Query results in rows instead of Columns

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Oracle so forgive me if this is a really stupid question.
I used Mysql for a while and if I wanted to display query results in rows instead of columns I could end the SQL command with '\G' instead of a semicolon.
This would give me output like...
Column_1: AAAA
Column_2: BBBB
Column_3: CCCC
Instead of the normal
Column_1 Column_2 Column_3
AAAAAA BBBBBBB CCCCCCC
Is there an equivalent in SQLPlus to the MySQL \G termination?
Thanks.
John

It is certainly not a stupid question, but pivoting is a very frequently asked and answered question:

Passing a query-limit-value to a Computed-Column on the Results Page

Hello All,
Is it possible to use a user-selected variable-limit (filter), and pass it to an IF statement in a Computed-Column in a Results Screen.
Example:
I have a Computed Column in a Results screen which uses the following logic:
if ( Accounting_Period == "2" && Ledger == "ACTUALS" ) {Year_to_Date_Actuals} else (0)
Instead of [Accounting_Period == "2"], I would like to set Accounting_Period == <variable_query_limit>
How would one do this?
Thanks!
smg

if not using a dashboard you may want to look at the OnPostProcess event and put script there to collect the selected value of the limit and modify the computed column of the results section.
strongly recommend you review documentation

Missing operator in query expression

Greetings,
I'm attempting to access a MS Acess database, but getting the following error.
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Org Name'.
The error occurs between the following two lines.
String SQL = "SELECT Org Name FROM OrganizationTable";
ResultSet resultset = statement.executeQuery(SQL);Where Org Name is the data set I'm trying to access and OrganizationTable is the database table.
Any help would be appreciated.

What is happening is that the interpreter is seeing
"Org Name" as two different columns and/or values and
is expecting an operator. Somehow you need to
indicate that it should be interpreted as a single
column.
Try one of these (I'm not sure if one will work since
I don't work with access much, but I'm guessing that
it would work similar to other dbs I've used):
String SQL = "SELECT [Org Name] FROM
OrganizationTable";
or
String SQL = "SELECT 'Org Name' FROM
OrganizationTable";
Thanks boss,
I started to get it figured as I was able to open a result set that didn't have any whitespace in the name in the same table.
FYI, [Org Name], did the trick. Single quotes do not work.
Thanks again :)

SQL Query results to CSV as two worksheets

I'm trying to take two SQL queries and get the results sent to a CSV file on two worksheets. Looking online I have not found a solid example of using the Excel ComObject to create a CSV then add a new worksheet to the CSV file. An added bonus
would be using AutoFit on the columns so everything is easily visible.
Code found online got me the following script which does work, however it takes 12 minutes to pipe the SQL queries to Excel. Switching to a CSV and the script executes in 5 seconds.
This is another nice to have, I was also looking the best way to look at the results (only 1 column) and depending on the length of the data, insert what Excel would call a Cell thereby shifting cells RIGHT but so far have found no clear examples of how
to accomplish that. My guess would be modifying my SQL queries but I've posted a question on StackOverFlow and someone suggested modifying the PowerShell Table created from the SQL dataset.Tables

them into one Excel workbook, one CSV per worksheet. In my case, this happens in 5 seconds. There is one thing which must be mentioned, I've seen this script fail the first time it is run but will successfully run the second time.
Also note, after much trial and error, this code correctly cleans up the Excel ComObject!! -Thanks go to JRV.

Swap columns in query

Hi All,
We've a new query that we are now using on a regular basis is missing a feature ability to swap columns in the query results pane.
All of our original queries/workbooks allow the user to "Swap" Column headings with other column headings. The above query does not offer this as an option or choice. Other existing column headings are absent from this selection.
Is there any way to activate this feature?
Thanks

The order of columns in a strucure can be very easily changed in the BEx Excel Analyzer:
You can change the order in the Local Query definition, or in the Filter settings in the query output in Excel.
I had a look and it appears be more difficult in the Web Analyzer.
Without spending too much time on this issue, I did find a roundabout way to change the order of the structure columns:
- execute the query in the BEx Excel Analyzer
- change the column order as outlined above
- save the resulting workbook as a global view
- open (& refresh) the global view in the Web Analyzer.
You may need to create a number of views to satisfy the column orders desired by the users.
Hope this helps . . .
