Multiple or Single Query?

I am trying building a ConstituencyMap of electoral
Constituencies each of which a couple of polling stations. I want
to output information containing the Name and Region of each
constituency and also a running total of the votes from each
polling station in that constituency until all polling stations in
that constituency have reported their results. Further more I will
use a query to find out which party won and change the color of the
cell to the parties assigned color.
My question is how do I get all this information in a single
cell. I do not know if I can use multiple query values in the same
logic. For example, my code to show the constituency name and
region is as attached. Being a novice in databases, I would rather
use multiple queries and try to add the results to the cell, but I
do not know if this is possible, I think a single query drawing
information from my multiple table would be the way to go, but this
would be a complex query.
I will appreciate any insight into this. Thanks

As well as Dan's suggestion for "Teach Yourself SQL in 10
Minutes" by
Ben Forta.
You can reference multiple queries. You just have to
reference the
record set data structure yourself, rather then relying on a
shortcut
such as <cfoutput query="aQuery">
A fully qualified record set reference is
queryName.columnName[row] OR
queryName['columnName'][row].
I.E.
<cfquery name="aQry".../>
<cfquery name="bQry".../>
<cfoutput>
#aQry.aColumn[1]# <---> #bQry['bColumn][2]
</cfoutput>

How to use multiple hierarchies for a single char in single query

Hi,
Is there any way that we can use multiple hierarchies for a single char in single query. I tried and it just allows me to select one hierarchy even if I use hierarchy variable.
I have a requirement where user wants to see information related to a cost center with different cost center groups in different hierarchies (every year has different cost center group hierarchies).
Suppose I want to see information related to a cost center from year 2001-2004.in these four year cost center may have been associated to different groups depending upon that year hierarchy. How can I do that?
Thanks
Jona

Nope. Now way to do this.
There is always just one hierarchy assigned to a characteristic. And even if the hierarchy was time dependent, it only reads it for one key date and not according to transaction data.

Beat

Multiple databases in a single query

I need to query multiple databases in a single query.
e.g.
Database d1 contains table t1 with column id
Database d2 contains table t2 with column id
I need a query like
SELECT * FROM t1, t2 WHERE t1.id = t2.id;
is this possible in jdbc? if yes can anyone help with some sample code?
thanks,
Ashish Saraf

It is not possible using the JDBC API to query tables in two or more databases using a single query. The reason is that a JDBC Connection is made to a single data source.
However, some databases support the idea of federations or linked tables. What you do is inside the database manager link or federate a table that is present in another DBMS. Then, pose a single JDBC query to the one DBMS which will have its own table and links to the external tables.
Another approach is to use a special JDBC driver with a built-in integration engine that will perform a query across multiple databases. In effect, the system poses separate queries to the different databases and integrates and joins the data together for you automatically on the client-side. That is much easier than doing it yourself in code, but that is also possible for simple queries.
As part of my research program, we have released a shareware version of the UnityJDBC driver that can query multiple databases using a single SQL query. For more information, see:

Populate Multiple Items bundled in a single query

Hello,
I am trying to create a report in which I have mulitple items that I want to populate. All of these use the same query but use different rows in the query to populate themselves. My question is:-
Is there a way to bundle the item assignment into a single query and populate the items from there? I want to reduce the time it takes for me to display the report and just hit the database once instead.

Hi there,
when u say report, i think its a more of a page showing few items on a region whose values are populated from Database rather than a SQL report which will not have any items. Is that correct?
yes, multiple items of a page can be assigned values at once.
assume: P1_ITEM1,P1_ITEM2,P1_ITEM3,P1_ITEM4 are different items on a page, an "On-Load Before Header" PL/SQL process can be created to assign values to the items in this way:
SELECT tab.col1,tab.col2,tab.col3,tab.col4 INTO :P1_ITEM1,:P1_ITEM2,:P1_ITEM3,:P1_ITEM4 FROM TABLE tab;
Item "Source Used" should be of type: Only When Current Value in session state is null
Source Type: PL/SQL Expression or function
and Source Value or EXpression should be some thing like this :P1_ITEM1
Hope this helps.

group by
     yr, mnth, region
order by
     yr, mnth, region;I wouldn't recommend storing your data for year / month in 2 columns like that unless you have a really good reason. I would store it as a date column and add a check constraint to ensure that the date is always the first of the month, then format it out as you wish to the client.

Single report with multiple queries OR multiple reports with single query

Hello Experts,
I have a confusion regarding Live Office connection for many days. I asked many people but did not get a concrete answer. I am re-posting this question here and expecting an answer this time.
The product versions that I am using are as follows:
FrontEnd:
BOE XI 3.1 SP4 FP 4.1
Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP4
Backend:
SAP BW 7.0 EHP1
I have created a dashboard which is getting data from a webi report using LO connections.
The webi report has five report parts which are populated by five different queries.
Now my question is, when the five LO connections are refreshed, is the webi report refreshed five times or just once?
If the report is refreshed five times, then I guess it is better to have five different webi reports containing single report part, because in that way we can prevent same query being executed multiple times.
SO what is the best practice- to have a single report having multiple queries - OR - to create multiple webi reports with single query?
Thanks and Regards,
PASG

HI
I think Best Practice is Multiple reports with single query
Any way If LO connections refresh 5 time the query will refresh 5 timesRegards

Query Design Strategies - servicing multiple reports from a single query

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good web resrouces (articles and such) to assist with Query Design Strategies. What I am specifically looking to do is replace multiple reports from the previous system with just views of a single query. So I was looking at grouping the existing reports that we are replacing into queries and creating views for each report.
The catch is that we will only be utilizing web reporting for report distribution, so we need to:
1. Use views as DataProviders to web templates
2. Broadcast views to users as links where they can see that particular view
Is this possible and does anyone have some info on how to do this?

Lets say that 10 broadcasted reports all could use the same query but each in a different navigational state.
1. Can you navigate the query and save as a view and then set up a brodacast rule for that view?
2. Can a DataProvider in a web template be a view?
3. Can the BI Launcher iView take a view name in place of a query?

Want to retrieve multiple XML fragments in CLOBs in a *single query*

Hi,
I am trying to retrieve some well formed XML fragments stored as CLOBs from an 8i DB. For a single fragment at a time this is not a problem using <xsql:include-xml>. However, I am trying to retrieve multiple well formed fragments in a single query, "stacked" like so...
<xsql:include-xml>
<![CDATA[
select theXMLFrag from tclob1 where id = 'open'
union all
select theXMLFrag from tclob2 --returns multiple rows
union all
select theXMLFrag from tclob3 --some more rows
union all
select theXMLFrag from tclob1 where id = 'close'
]]>
</xsql:include-xml>
What I am really after are the contents from the middle two selects. (The 'open' and 'close' bit was just a cheap attempt to ensure that the included XML is well formed.) Though it is not shown in my example, the problem is that the number and source of the CLOB fragments is not known until run time, and I wanted to use a dynamic query to assemble the needed CLOBS...
I have since learned that <xsql:include-xml> returns the first column of the first row of the query result as parsed XML, either from a CLOB or a VARCHAR containing well-formed XML. So my attempt is no good... all but the first row are ignored.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a way to do this using the existing xsql tag library? Or will I need to create my own <xsql:action>?
Thanks,
Bob Nugent

Hi,
Let me correct if i am right:
- Central Contract -> new concept of SRM 7.0. 1 contract which is visible and usable from ECC and SRM as well. (not available in SRM 5.0 - agree)
- GOA -> it exist in SRM 5.0 for sure! (we are currenlty using it for ECC procurement).
The solution what you are mentioned is good...but as you said only for SRM 70...we are in SRM 5.0 and we need solution for here. Do you have any idea?
Currently i am thinking about a new solution based on "standard" functionalities: if a GOA need to be created for mulitple company, it has to be populated in Header distribution (all company will have the same contract header). It item detail all the required information need to be poupulate in SRM (i.e.: item 1 for p.org1/comp.cod1; item 2 for p.org2/comp.cod2).
When this is done, the BADI need to check the informatoin in SRM GOA and create contract according to that -> in this case 1GOA is created, but the 2 items for totally different p.org/comp.code, the BADI needs to create 2 different contract in ECC (i would like to avoid using reference purchasing organization in ECC!
Thanks in advance!

Single query return multiple value

Hi ALL,
I have a sql query as below :
select order_number,
(select decode(hcp.contact_point_purpose,'ABC',hcp.email_address,'CDE',hcp.email_address,null)
from hz_contact_points,
hz_parties hz
WHERE hz.party_id=hcp.owner_table_id) Email
FROM oe_order_headers_all h
WHERE h.order_number='102'
Actually the problem i am facing is the inner select query is returning multiple row , so my main query is erroring out, i need to capture the multiple row.
in the above example the inner decode statement returning two mail address, i need to capture that, but while executing the whole query it is erroring out as saying single query returns multiple values.
please help me on this to capture multiple values
Thanks

>
select order_number,
(select decode(hcp.contact_point_purpose,'ABC',hcp.email_address,'CDE',hcp.email_address,null)
from hz_contact_points,
hz_parties hz
WHERE hz.party_id=hcp.owner_table_id
/* a join is missing here that points to table oe_order_headers_all h*/) Email
FROM oe_order_headers_all h
WHERE h.order_number='102'
>
I can see a join missing in your select sub query.
However, if you you are still getting the single query return multiple value error then you need to replace the sql sub query
select decode(hcp.contact_point_purpose,'ABC',hcp.email_address,'CDE',hcp.email_address,null)
from hz_contact_points,
hz_parties hz
WHERE hz.party_id=hcp.owner_table_id)by decode(hcp.contact_point_purpose,'ABC',hcp.email_address,'CDE',hcp.email_address,null)
and join the two tables in you main query..

Updating multiple node in a single query

Hi
Shall I update multiple nodes (which satisfies the given condition) in a single query? From the prototype we suspect that all nodes in all document are not updated in the container.
Version: BDB XML 2.4 - Fedora core 4 Linux - C++ language
Query:
replace value of node collection()/File[@Id="57565C01327A"]//Entry[@Class="Measurement" and @Id="0"]/Attribute[@Name="apDlBhUtil"]/@Value with 8'
Result:
XmlException occurred with msg 'Error: Sequence does not match type node() - the sequence contains more than one item [err:XUTY0008], <query>:1:1'
We have tried running the query in both Lazy and Eager evaluation type. Please clarify that the issue is with the query/execution type or BDB XML doesn't support this feature?
Thanks
Santhosh

Santhosh,
Try:
for $i in collection()/File[@Id="57565C01327A"]//Entry[@Class="Measurement" and @Id="0"]/Attribute[@Name="apDlBhUtil"]/@Value return replace value of node $i with 8'The problem with your original is that the argument for "replace value of" needs to be a single item, not a sequence.

You could also put the ranges into a table (or a sub-query, as shown below) and join:

     SELECT     3000 AS low_val, 5000 AS high_val FROM dual UNION ALL

     SELECT     7800,           7899               FROM dual
SELECT       r.*

Single Query with multiple fiscal variants / fiscal period

Experts,
Currently we have two different queries 1) for US and 2) for Mexico.
Both the queries are hard-coded with respective company codes and different fiscal variants. We have i step =1 variable, so in both query we have respective fiscal period by default in variable screen. The user can decide to run the query for current fiscal period or manually overwrite it for past few fiscal periods.
Now, we want to consolidate two queries into a single one and behind the scene depending on company code entered by user we want the query to run for default period AND we also want user to have liberty to change it for different fiscal periods (similar to istep 1 variable) which is hard coded for each query. Please advice how to proceed?
Thanks!

Hi Durgesh,
I agree with part 1- we can let user select his company code, but my challenge is pre-populate or get the default fiscal period for different company codes.
2) You can keep rest of the things as it is, because you will be populating the default period value and if user want he can select the required value manually.
(Alok) = So if user runs report in Nov'2011 = the US fiscal period is 002/2012; but for Mexico it might be 011/2011 - so is there any way where we can give this value in prompt screen and at the same time not let user remember these values...
Since with single query and without hardcoding how to determine the current fiscal period for different company codes?

Multiple or Single Query?
