Name of built in unique row identifier field in Oracle

I believe that I read somewhere that each Oracle database table comes with a built in unique row identifier field. Could somebody please confirm whether this is true and if so, please tell me the name of that field.
Thanks.

Are you referring to ROWID by any chance? If yes, this may help with the relevant information - http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/datatype.htm#i8776

Oracle Unique Row Identifer

I am an Oracle newbie type and need to do some basic synchronization between Oracle and another database. I need access to a unique row identifier to track changes to a row in a meta table. Does Oracle provide this sort of thing that is consistent between replicated Oracle database, or do I need to create my own sequence to do this?
Thanks.

You will need to use your own unique value to manage the synchronization.

SSMS 2012:FOR XML PATH Using XPath Node Tests-Columnn name 'test()' contains an invalid XML identifier as required by FOR XML?

Hi all,
I am learning XPATH and XQUERY from the Book "Pro T-SQL 2008 Programmer's Guide" written by Michael Coles, (published by apress). I copied the Code Listing 12-8 FOR XML PATH Using XPath Node Tests (listed below) and executed it in my

I have no ideas why I got this error message. Please kindly help and advise me how to resolve this error.
Thanks in advance, Scott Chang

Hi Michelle, Thanks for your nice response.
I corrected the mistake and executed the revised code. It worked nicely.

I feel this xml output is not like the regular xml output. Do you know why it is diffrent from the regular xml xml output? Please comment on this matter.
Thanks,
Scott Chang
What do you mean by regular xml document? Are you referring to fact that its missing a root element? if yes it can be added as below
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
SELECT
p.NameStyle AS "processing-instruction(nameStyle)",
p.BusinessEntityID AS "Person/@ID",
p.ModifiedDate AS "comment()",
pp.PhoneNumber AS "text()",
FirstName AS "Person/Name/First",
MiddleName AS "Person/Name/Middle",
LastName AS "Person/Name/Last",
EmailAddress AS "Person/Email"
FROM Person.Person p
INNER JOIN Person.EmailAddress e
ON p.BusinessEntityID = e.BusinessEntityID
INNER JOIN Person.PersonPhone pp
ON p.BusinessEntityID = pp.BusinessEntityID
FOR XML PATH('ElementName'),ROOT('RootName');
replace ElementName and RootName with whatever name you need to set for element as well as the root element

Setting row level field in table using jQuery

Hi,
I'm utilising the following to read and then set values in the same row within a report.
Re: Referencing a row level field value in an Interactive Report using jquery
Consider the following snippet
// read information eg
var row = $x_UpTill(this.triggeringElement, 'TR');
var dateCompleted = $('input[name="f03"]', row)[0];
console.log(dateCompleted.value);
// write information eg
var dateBooked = $('input[name="f02"]', row)[0];
//dateBooked.value = 'xyz'; // sets to xyz, as expected
dateBooked.value = return_date; // sets the actual code, not returning stringAll works as I'd expect except the last line. I have a js function returning a formatted string (Set Date With Javascript but in this case my field now contains the actual code definition, not the date string the function actually returns.
I'm thinking I'm just misunderstanding a simple concept for JavaScript here?
A simple workaround could be to create field P0_SYSDATE, calculated to TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,:F_DATE_FORMAT), then apply
dateBooked.value = $v('P0_SYSDATE');but I'm trying to improve my understanding of javascript/jQuery...
Cheers,
Scott

So are you saying that return_date is an actual javascript function that returns the formated string/date you want?
If so, then I think you simply need parenthesis to run the function:
dateBooked.value = return_date();Or... am I missing something here?
Thanks

Select unique rows from two tables...

Hi,
I have two tables, replies1 and replies2.
SQL> desc replies
Name Null? Type
URN VARCHAR2(36)
ADDRESS VARCHAR2(18)
FILESIZE NUMBER
AS_NUM VARCHAR2(6)
SQL> desc replies2
Name Null? Type
URN VARCHAR2(36)
ADDRESS VARCHAR2(18)
AS_NUM VARCHAR2(6)
Both of the tables have no primary keys, but I have indixes on (urn, addrss) combination on both....
I am trying to select the unique rows with (urn, address) from replies2, and then find the matching size from replies...
I am using the following query:
select distinct replies2.urn, replies2.address, replies.filesize from replies2, replies where replies2.AS_NUM like 'XYZ' and replies.urn = replies2.urn;
I cannot figure out why it won't work. the way I understand it is that, distinct will give all distinct combination of all column names that follow, which is what I want...
I know it is wrong, because the query:
select count(*) from replies2 where AS_NUM like 'XYZ' returns less number of rows than the above query.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Oz.

Thanks a lot Mohan for your reply.
urn is not a unique key. Several rows could have the same (urn, address) pair in both tables. What I want is retrieve all (urn, address) rows from one table, and find the size from the other table to make a (urn, address, size). I want all unique combinations of (urn, address) to appear in the output.
AS_NUM is an empty column in replies... It would've been a lot easier if it wasn't, since then I'll just say: select distinct urn, address, filesize from replies where AS_NUM like 'XYZ';
I will try your query though and let u know how it goes. It takes quite a while to run since my tables are huge.

Need help in identifying fields of sd report creation

Hi Experts,
I need to create report in sd from manual report .The fileds in report are taken from Quickbooks.so inorder to create report in sap I need to identify fields in sap first.we dont had functional guy so i need help in identifying fields in sap for below mentioned report.
Report: invoice distribution report-service billing for all states.
Fields:customer number,customer name,city state,SAP Document number,Invoice date,period(month,year)invoice number,invoice type,currency,invoice amount in usd.
Please help me in suggesting tcodes or table names from where i can fetch these fields.
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,
narasimha.

Hi Experts,
Finally with all above suggestions i have chosen tables vbrk(billing document header data),kna1(customer header),vbrp.
1.I created view to find the output of report with conditions as follows:
tables:vbrk,kna1,vbrp
vbrk-vbeln(invoice number)
vbrk-fkart(invoice type)
vbrk-fkdat(invoice date)
vbrk-waerk(currency)
vbrk-netwr(netvalue)
vbrk-kunag(customer number)
kna1-name1(customer name)
kna1-ort01(customer city)
kna1-regio(customer state)
join condition:
kna1-mandt=vbrk-mandt
kna1-kunnr=vbrk-kunag.
when i execute the report i am getting same value for lot of times.
i am confused how to include sales document number.I hope sales document number and invoice are different.
2.i have also added vbrp-aubel and join condition as
vbrk-mandt = vbrp-mandt
vbrk-vbeln = vbrp-vbeln.
but when i execute the report i am getting lot of duplicated with same value and unknown invoice numbers.
please let me know where i went wrong.
is there any standard adhoc report so that i can manipulate it with above requirement.
vf05n is somewhat useful .is it possible to add customer details in this??
Thanks&Regards,
narasimha.

SQL query - return single unique rows

Hi
If you have an employee table where employees are listed per department, using SQL, how could you return the names of the employees listed per department on a single unique row?
Eg - select deptno, first_name from employee
deptno first_name
10 Jane
20 Jack
10 Joe
20 Jill
10 Jacinta
30 John
30 Jeffrey
10 Jackie
30 Jennifer
... etc.
the return set of the query would look like:
deptno first_name concat
10 Jane Joe Jacinta Jackie ..
20 Jack Jill ..
30 John Jeffrey Jennifer ..
Cheers

Here you go:
WITH t AS
(SELECT 10 deptno, 'Jane' first_name FROM dual UNION
SELECT 20 deptno, 'Jack' first_name FROM dual UNION
SELECT 10 deptno, 'Joe' first_name FROM dual UNION
SELECT 20 deptno, 'Jill' first_name FROM dual UNION
SELECT 10 deptno, 'Jacinta' first_name FROM dual UNION
SELECT 30 deptno, 'John' first_name FROM dual UNION
SELECT 30 deptno, 'Jeffrey' first_name FROM dual UNION
SELECT 10 deptno, 'Jackie' first_name FROM dual UNION
SELECT 30 deptno, 'Jennifer' first_name FROM dual)
SELECT   deptno,
         RTRIM(XMLAGG(XMLELEMENT(c, first_name||' ') ).EXTRACT ('//text()'), ' ') names
FROM     t
GROUP BY deptno

How to view field name for a field in Oracle form?

I was told you can do this but I forgot how.
If you want to build a report, but don't know what the field name is in Oracle, you can open up the Oracle form and find the screen with that field name and do a trick that tells you the Oracle field name. Any help?

Try this....
REPORT ZZDYNAMIC_FIELD.

    ASSIGN COMPONENT i OF STRUCTURE it1 TO <field>.
    if <field> is not assigned.
      EXIT.
    endif..
    IF <field> IS ASSIGNED AND <field> EQ 'KBLOGO'.
      READ TABLE descr_ref->key INDEX i ASSIGNING <key_comp_wa>.

How to chage the display name in SC browser for the custome fields?

Hi,
I created 2 custom fields for Shopping cart in SRM. How to chage the display name in SC browser for this custome fields?
Thanks
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
when you have defined your customer fields, you have created new fields in the CUF structures. The labels displayed on the SC screen come from the data element you have assigned to those cust fields in the include structure.
If you have used a std data element, then you can change its translation (attention, this will impact all structures, tables... abap objects using this data element).
If you have created a Z data element, then adapt its description accordingly.

What is "Advance Row Ref" field on JE Form Settings -- Document-- Table

Hi Experts,
Can someone please tell me what is ""Advance Row Ref" field on JE Form Settings > Document>Table" check box.
Regards
Dave

Hi Dave,
it's a functionality used to autopopulate the Ref3 field in the matrix of the JE. For example, you enter a BP or GL account & manually enter the value of '5' in the Ref3 field, when you now click on the account code field to enter an account in the second row, the application will automatically put in the manually entered value+1 into the Ref3 Ffield in the second row, here '6'.
All the best,
Kerstin
