Multiple column table

Hi obiee experts,
I am new to obiee and reporting itself.
I have requirement to create a table as follows:
for-each GROUP_NAME
DATE
SHIFT_NAME
PERSON_NAME NUMBER_OF_HOURS
For clarity, I am adding two sample records,
GROUPNAME : IT
02-FEB-2012
0900 1500 2000
ABC 0 5 3
GROUPNAME : SERVICES
03-FEB-2012
0900 1500
XYZ 4 1
0 3
And to add more to this, all this data is available in a flat structure as,
<RESULTS>
<GROUPNAME></GROUPNAME>
<DATE></DATE>
<SHIFT_NAME></SHIFT_NAME>
<PERSON_NAME></PERSON_NAME>
<NUMBER_OF_HOURS></NUMBER_OF_HOURS>
</RESULTS>
which repeats for the same group but different DATE and SHIFT etc.
Is this doable?

Hi ,
You can do that.Its not the problem.
As you are new to BIP just follow the below steps.
1.Open the word Load your XML.
2.Goto Insert option --> Select table wizard ..
3.Follow the pop up window..select which columns you want to show in your Report.
4.Under the group by select your shift column.
Finish the template check the preview and do the change as per your need.
As a new to OBIEE and BIP this will be very helpful for you.
Thanks,
Ananth v

I am unable to sort multiple columns in a table created in Pages.

I had been using Appleworks up until I installed Lion and have now switched to iWork. I created a table within a Pages document and am able to sort a single column (using the Table Inspector and choosing Sort from Edit Rows and Columns) but the Sort option is grayed out when I attempt to sort multiple columns.
In another post, someone talked about this being a problem if you have merged fields. I do not believe I have done this (to be honest I don't know the function of merging fields).
This is very frustrating as I was easily able to sort these tables in Appleworks.

Thanks for your quick response! I have been trying that but then found that Numbers would only let me print in landscape view so I had to paste the table back into Pages. Is there a way to print in portrat view (from Numbers?)
Not so. In the lower left corner of the window, there's an icon that looks like a piece of paper. If you see this:
you are in Sheet View, or normal, mode. If you see this:
You are in Print View mode. Now you see the icons for portrait and landscape modes. Click your choice. Then arrange your content to fit the pages as you wish.

How to use a USER_DATASTORE to index multiple columns in different tables

I would appreciate if somebody can give an example or point to links with examples on how to use USER_DATASTORE on multiple columns in different tables. THe Oracle Text documentation only shows multiple columns in the same table.
Thanks in advance.

I am not sure why your getting the wrong results but you should seriously reconsider the approach your are taking. Using functions like this is very ineffecient and should be avoided at all cost.

How to insert from one table to another (multiple columns to single column)

I want to insert data from table1 into table2 and the data looks in 3 columns as below
Table1
RepNm ObjNm DbNm
123     abc def
456     def xyz
789     123 456
and the data in table2 should be display as
Table 2
ObjNm
123
456
789
abc
def
xyz
the dupes should get eliminated and only the distinct values should be inserted into a single column in table2 from multiple columns in table1

How do you want to handle nulls? If there is a null in any value of a column, do you want to insert it?
Then,
WITH T
     AS (SELECT LEVEL colnum
           FROM DUAL
         CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 3)
SELECT DECODE (colnum, 1, RepNm, 2, ObjNm, 3, DbNm) as ObjNm
FROM table1, T;if you dont want to insert nulls then,
WITH T
     AS (SELECT LEVEL colnum
           FROM DUAL
         CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 3)
SELECT DECODE (colnum, 1, RepNm, 2, ObjNm, 3, DbNm) AS ObjNm
FROM table1, T
WHERE DECODE (colnum, 1, RepNm, 2, ObjNm, 3, DbNm) = DECODE (colnum, 1, RepNm, 2, ObjNm, 3, DbNm)G.

Indexing multiple columns in multiple tables

I have a multiple tables in which I want to search. I need to do text search that supports fuzzy logic for which I've currently set up a context index using the user_datastore. I also need to search columns such as numbers/dates/timestamps which from what I understand is not supported with the context search. I'm looking at setting up a second index of type ctxcat for this purpose - but I will need to index multiple columns in multiple tables. Is this possible?
Can someone advise on the best way to create indexes and search when a table schema such as the following exists. I've tried to keep it simple by just giving a few example columns and tables.
Order Table
- Has columns related to the order details - order name (varchar2), description (varchar2), date order placed (timestamp), date order completed (date), order amount (number), customer Id
Customer Table
- Has columns related to the customer information - customer name, address, city, state, telephone etc (all varchar2 fields)
Items Table
- Has details about the items being ordered - item name (varchar2), item description (varchar2), cost (number) etc
Order-Item Table
- Table that maps an order to the items in that order - orderId, itemId, quantity
Comments Table
- Logs any comments with the customer - comment description (varchar2), call type (varchar2), comment date (timestamp)
Currently with the Context index, I have it set up so I can search all text columns in all tables for a search term. This works fine.
I now need to be able to do more advanced searches, where I can search for a specific text in all orders as well as orders created after a certain date or orders above a certain amount or orders with a item quantity purchase of more that 10. The text has to be searched across the all text columns in all tables. How can I achieve this with Oracle Text?

Stored procedure in package return multiple columns from multiple tables

Hi ,
Can a single stored procedure return multiple column values from different tables.
example:
tabA: col2, tabB:col3,tabC:col4 etc.
one more question:
if a stored procedure like to return 10 columns for a particular record from a single table do i need to define a TYPE statement for each colum like
TYPE col1 is TABLE of varchar
TYPE col2 is TABLE of varchar
here i want to return only one row, not many rows.
thanks

You can try one procedure with OUT or IN/OUT parameters that collect the values from one or more sql statements.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE P1
(P_COD IN TABLE.COD%TYPE,
P_DESC1 OUT TABLE1.DESC1%TYPE,
P_DESC2 OUT TABLE2.DESC2%TYPE)
IS
BEGIN
SELECT table1.DESC1, table2.DESC2
INTO P_DESC1, P_DESC2
FROM TABLE1, table2 WHERE
table1.COD = P_COD and
table1.cod = table2.cod ;
END P1;

How do you count the multiple columns of a field in a table

How do you count the multiple columns of a field in a table

How do you count the multiple columns of a field in a table
Whenever you have a problem, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).
See the forum FAQ: https://forums.oracle.com/message/9362002
"Field" isn't a standard database term. Some people say "field" when they mean "column", but I don't think that's what you mean ("How do you count the multiple columns of a column .."). Do you want to know how many times a column is used (as opposed to NULL), or the number of different values in a column? You really need to show what you want.

Indexing multiple columns of multiple tables

Hi,
I'm trying to index multiple columns of multiple tables.
As I have seen, the way to do this is using User_Datastore.
have the tables to share a (foreign)key? My tables have only 2 or 3 similar columns(description, tagnr...)
I want to get the different tagnr belonging to the same description etc.
Can I do this?
Has anyone a Samplecode indexing multiple tables?
Any suggestion would be helpful.
Arsineh

A USER_DATASTORE works like this:
create table A
( id number primary key,
textA varchar2(100));
create table B
( id number primary key,
textB varchar2(100));
procedure foo (rid in rowid, v_document in out varchar2)
v_textA varchar2(2000);
v_idA number;
v_textB varchar2(2000);
begin
select id, textA
into v_idA, v_textA
from A
where rowid = rid;
select textB
into v_textB
from B
where id = v_idA;
v_document := textA | | ' ' | | textB;
end;
create preferences for USER_DATASTORE
create index ...
on table A ( text) ...
you also can build on table B
This depends where you want the
trigger to be build to sync the
documents.

Multiple Column hiding in advance table using Switcher

Hi All,
I am having requirement of hiding multiple columns in advance table using swithers.
Lets says I am searching for the the parties in party search page. If the party is of type person then two columns should be visible one is firstName and LastName.
and If party is of type organization then firstName and lastName column shpould be hidden and only the PartyName column should be visible.
Is this possible through switchers if yes please explain?
Br, 903096

Hi ,
This can be done through switcher case , along with switcher you also need to use SPEL binding the each of those attribute
that you wish to hide .
Go through delete exercise to understand how to implement switchers case .
Let me know if you need any help .

Index Multiple Column of Multiple Tables

Hi All,
I would like to know how to create a index which can search through all column in my database tables. Eg: I have 30
tables and every tables have around 10 columns. I want to create a index which can search through the columns in
these tables.
I know that User_DataStore can helps in create multiple column search across multiple tables. But in my case the BLOB
created will be very huge. Any work around? I mean is there any solutions like concatenated datastore?
Thank You.
Regards,
LG Tan

Hi,
I figured out how to do this today. The first thing is that the type of index you need is a USER_DATASTORE.
The idea behind this type of index is pretty straight forward but the documentation does a very good job of not drawing attention to just how powerful it is.
The idea behind a USER_DATASTORE is that you can write your own stored procedure to extract the data that you want to index and return it to the indexer. Take an example where you have a master table which contains enough information to allow you to find associated data in other tables i.e. a shared key. The idea is that when you set up a USER_DATASTORE index, you specify the name of a stored procedure that the indexer will call for each row in the master table. The stored procedure has one input and one output parameter, rowid (in) and clob (out).
When the index is created, the stored procedure you specify is, as I said above, called for each row in the master table. Your stored procedure uses this ROWID to extract the shared key (this can be anything you want) from the master table and uses this to build the necessary SELECT statement to retrieve the related data from the other tables. The rest of the stored procedure simply appends the data returned from your select statement to the return CLOB. The indexer then indexes the inforamation in this CLOB and discards the data.
The index can of course only return hits against the master table. It's up to your application to extract shared key from the returned row(s), bind to the other tables and present the results.
You will find a basic example of how to implement USER_DATASTORES in the Oracle Text Reference Guide (http://download.oracle.com/otndoc/oracle9i/901_doc/text.901/a90121.pdf). Feel free to email me if you want some example code.

How to update multiple columns from different tables using cursor.

Hi,
i have two tables test1 and test2. i want to udpate the column(DEPT_DSCR) of both the tables TEST1 and TEST2 using select for update and current of...using cursor.
I have a code written as follows :
DECLARE
v_mydept1 TEST1.DEPT_CD%TYPE;
v_mydept2 TEST2.DEPT_CD%TYPE;
CURSOR C1 IS SELECT TEST1.DEPT_CD,TEST2.DEPT_CD FROM TEST1,TEST2 WHERE TEST1.DEPT_CD = TEST2.DEPT_CD AND TEST1.DEPT_CD = 'AA' FOR UPDATE OF TEST1.DEPT_DSCR,TEST2.DEPT_DSCR;
BEGIN
OPEN C1;
     LOOP
          FETCH C1 INTO v_mydept1,v_mydept2;
          EXIT WHEN C1%NOTFOUND;
          UPDATE TEST2 SET DEPT_DSCR = 'PLSQL1' WHERE CURRENT OF C1;
          UPDATE TEST2 SET DEPT_DSCR = 'PLSQL2' WHERE CURRENT OF C1;
     END LOOP;
     COMMIT;
END;
The above code when run says that it runs successfully. But it does not updates the desired columns[DEPT_DSCR].
It only works when we want to update single or multiple columns of same table...i.e. by providing these columns after "FOR UPDATE OF"
I am not sure what is the exact problem when we want to update multiple columns of different tables.
Can anyone help me on this ?

oops my mistake.....typo mistake...it should have been as follows --
UPDATE TEST1 SET DEPT_DSCR = 'PLSQL1' WHERE CURRENT OF C1;
UPDATE TEST2 SET DEPT_DSCR = 'PLSQL2' WHERE CURRENT OF C1;
Now here is the upated PL/SQL code where we are trying to update columns of different tables --
DECLARE
v_mydept1 TEST1.DEPT_CD%TYPE;
v_mydept2 TEST2.DEPT_CD%TYPE;
CURSOR C1 IS SELECT TEST1.DEPT_CD,TEST2.DEPT_CD FROM TEST1,TEST2 WHERE TEST1.DEPT_CD = TEST2.DEPT_CD AND TEST1.DEPT_CD = 'AA' FOR UPDATE OF TEST1.DEPT_DSCR,TEST2.DEPT_DSCR;
BEGIN
OPEN C1;
LOOP
FETCH C1 INTO v_mydept1,v_mydept2;
EXIT WHEN C1%NOTFOUND;
UPDATE TEST1 SET DEPT_DSCR = 'PLSQL1' WHERE CURRENT OF C1;
UPDATE TEST2 SET DEPT_DSCR = 'PLSQL2' WHERE CURRENT OF C1;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;
Please let us know why it is not updating by using using CURRENT OF

Mapping multiple columns of a table to single dimension using odi

Hi John,
Can we map multiple columns of a table to a single dimnesion?
For example, in RDBMS, for the employee details, Grade position etc will be in different columns, and in Planning these would be as members of one dimension.
So while loading data from oracle to essbase can we map these multiple columns to single dimension?
If yes how?

Hi,
In your staging area/target you can concatentate the columns.
So in your interface and on your target datastore, pick the column which is going to hold the details of the concatenation.
Then in the expression editor use the CONCAT function, or you could use ||
eg CONCAT(<sourceCol1>, <sourceCol2>)
or <sourceCol1> || <sourceCol2>
obviously you need to change the information between <sourceCol1> to your source datastore column
Cheers

Sort functionality using MULTIPLE columns in a table control

Hi all,
I have a custom screen with table control.Now i need to provide SORT functinality in this screen for the columns in the table control.
My questins:
1.Is it possible to seelct MULTIPLE columns in a table control for SORTING?If yes,what explicit settings do i need to do while creatng the TABEL CONTROL in the screen?DO I need to select "Column selection " as MULTIPLE??
2.How do I write the code for SORT functinonality for multiple columns?
I know how to write the code for SORTING on basis of single column .
Thanks!

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the reply.
However I was thinking to apply the same logic as for single columns as follows:
types : begin of ty_fields,
            c_fieldname(20),
           end of ty_fields.
data : t_fields type table of ty_fields,
           wa_fields like line of t_fields.
WHEN 'SORTUP'.(Ascending)
      loop at TABLE tc01-cols INTO wa_tc01 where selected = 'X'.
      SPLIT wa_tc01-screen-name AT '-' INTO g_help g_fieldname.
      wa_fields-c_fieldname = g_fieldname.
      append wa_fields to t_fields.
      endloop.
      describe table t_fields lines l_index.
      c_count = 1.
      if c_count <= l_index.
      read table t_fields into wa_fields index c_count.
      case c_count.
      when '1'.
      l_field1 = wa_fields-c_fieldname.
      when '2'.
     l_field2 = wa_fields-c_fieldname.
    and so on depending on the no of columns in the table control...
      endcase.
      endif.
      SORT t_tvbdpl_scr BY l_fields1 l_fields 2......l_fieldn.
Let me know if the above method will work!Also for the above method to work will the type of fields(columns on whihc sort function will be applied) matter???
Thanks again for your time.
