Need help in Report From SQL Query

Hi All,
I am facing a problem with a report. I need your help.
I am creating a Report From SQL Query (Portal) with some arguments passed at runtime. I am able to view the output, if the query returns few rows ( arount 1000 rows). But for some inputs it needs to generate >15000 records, at this point the page is getting time out (i think!) and showing error page. I am able to execute query from the SQL Plus console ot using TOAD editor. Here the query is not taking more that 2 mins time to show the result.
If i am executing from Portal i observed that, once i give the appropriate input and hit submit button a new oracle process is getting created for the query on UNIX (I am usign "TOP" command to check processes). The browser page will be shown error page after 5 minutes (i am assuming session time out!) , but on the backend the process will be executed for more than 30 mins.
I tried also increase the page time out in httpd.conf, but no use.
The data returned as a result of the query is sized more than 10 MB. Is caching this much data is possible by the browser page? is the returned data is creating any problem here.
Please help me to find appropriate reasone for the failure?

There could be a variety of reasons for the delayed processing of this report. That includes parameter settings for that page, cache settings, network configurations, etc.
- explore best optimization for your query;
- evaluate portal for best performance configuration; you may follow this note (Doc ID: *438794.1* ) for ideas;
- third: for that particular page carrying that report, you can use caching wisely. browser cache is neither decent for large files, nor practical. instead, explore the page cache settings that portal provides.
- also look for various log files (application.log and apache logs) if you are getting any warnings reflecting on some kind of processing halt.
- and last but not the least: if you happen to bring up a portal report with more than 10000 rows for display then think about the usage of the report. Evaluate whether that report is good/useful for anything?

Can you post the URL that is giving you the page not found error ? I am not sure if I can be of much help though.
In order to increase your chances to get a reply you should also post your question in the Portal Forum - Oracle Application Server Portal

Adding update and delete buttons to a Report from SQL Query

There is an option when creating a QBE to add update and delete
links which i find quite useful, but this option doesn't seem to
be possible on a Report from SQL Query. Do i need to do
something special to add them? is the option located in a
different place?

Hi,
You can only add Update ,Delete in QBE Reports,
there is no option in Portal which can be used to
have these buttons in the Reports from Query Wizard or
Report from SQL Query.
Thanks

Getting zero-sized reply error when running report from SQL query

Hi,
I have a Report from SQL Query in Portal. When I select Excel in Output Format and then run the report, it works properly, but when I select HTML in Output Format, the report works if the rows returned are not so many (I've been able to display the report for up to 701 rows), but when I try selecting a value from the LOV that selects many rows, I get the following error:
ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL: <data suppressed>
The following error was encountered:
Zero Sized Reply
Squid did not receive any data for this request.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Why does the number of rows returned affect the report this way?
Thanks,
Lorena

Problem comes when any of the filter is applied in any one of the cases selected from the GUI.Do you mean that the problems only shows when you run the report in your browser via 9iAS?
Which version are you using?
Can you post the before report trigger?

Width of field in Report From SQL Query

I have created a report from SQL query with 15 columns being selected. However, no matter what column width and column type (pixel, char, percent) I enter in the column formatting tab of the report, I cannot get the report to format the column to the width I desire. It is always a fixed width. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Martin

Hi,
Char (used for ASCII format)
Displays the output in the specified number of
characters per line. For example, if you enter 20
in Width, the report displays 20 characters of the
column data in each line. If the number of
characters per line exceeds the specified
number, the remaining characters are wrapped
to the next line.
Pixel
Displays the output in the specified number of
pixels per row. For example, if you enter 10 in
Width, the column data displays 10 pixels of
data per line of the displayed table.
Percent
Displays the output in the specified percentage
of the table. For example, if you enter 25 in
Width, the column data displays in 25% of the
displayed table.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Can Portal Report from SQL Query use where column IN (:bind_variable)

I would like to create a portal report from sql query with IN (:bind_variable) in the where clause. The idea is that the user would enter comma-separated or comma-quote-separated values for the bind_variable. I have tried this several ways but nothing seems to work. Can this be done?
Trenton

Hi,
Which version of portal are you using. This is a bug. It has been fixed in 30984.

Report from SQL Query -Excel format only show the first page

Hi,
I have some Reports from SQL Query. In the display options, I choose Excel as default format. The Excel documents only show the first page. If I choose HTML as default format, it shows every rows.
Please advise on how to have a complete Excel document as HTML format does.
Thanks a lot.
Lina Han

I beleive when you export Oracle reports to Excel it is the Data that is transferred along with Column Names.
You cannot export the variables defined on the report.
Hence you will not be able to export the Footer to excel. (Still looking into it will let you know if i find anything interesting)

Report from sql query invalid date condition

Hi, I created a Reports From SQL Query. My sql is like
"select column1, column2
from myschema.tablename
where mydate > :p_date1 and mydate < :p_date2"
I am using portal with turkish and english option. If I pass p_date paramaters 'dd-MON-yyyy' format
(for example p_date1 = 23-MAR-2003 p_date2 = 26-APR-2003) in english mode portlet is return correct result,
in turkish mode 'No Row Returned'. I changed my sql statement with
"select column1, column2
from myschema.tablename
where to_date(mydate,'dd/mm/yyy') > to_date(:p_date1,'dd/mm/yyy') and to_date(mydate) < to_date(:p_date2,'dd/mm/yyyy')"
and I pass p_date parameters 'dd/mm/yyyy' format (for example p_date1 = 23/03/2003 p_date2 = 26/04/2003)
but now turkish and english mode No row returned.
How may I write correct sql statament. My database NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/YYYY and NLS_LANGUAGE=TURKISH.
thanks.

Hi,
Try this for turkish mode:
Case 1: the 'mydate' column has a kind of a char data type (like char, varchar or varchar2)
and a value like '30/03/2003'
"select column1, column2
from myschema.tablename
where
to_date(mydate,'DD/MM/YYYY') > :p_date1
and
to_date(mydate,'DD/MM/YYYY') < :p_date2"
Case 2: the mydate column has a date type:
"select column1, column2
from myschema.tablename
where
mydate > :p_date1
and
mydate < :p_date2"
In both cases use the following parameter values:
p_date1 = 23/03/2003
p_date2 = 26/04/2003
This should work
Thanks

Can I declare variables in Reports from SQL Query

Hi
I have a Report from SQL Query published as a portlet on a page among other reports. In the query report I am using the fuction WWCTX_API.GET_USER at quite a few places to filter the data returned to the user. Can I assingn the user id to a variable at some level & replace the fuction WWCTX_API.GET_USER with the variable in all the places.
For eg:
usr varchar2(25);
usr:= PORTAL30.WWCTX_API.GET_USER;
select USER_ID, USER_LVL, BUSINESS_ID, BRANCH_ID from crs_user where user_id=usr;
can i declare variable and assign the value like the above at any level(Report or Page Level) to the acces the variale in queries.
Thanks in advance

I have found that you can't use a * in a dynamic page.
Try this:
<ORACLE>
DECLARE
usr varchar2(25):=PORTAL30.WWCTX_API.GET_USER;
BEGIN
for c in
(SELECT <column_name> <alias> FROM PORTALWORK.CRS_USER WHERE USER_ID=usr)
Loop
htp.p(c.<alias>);
END;
</ORACLE>
You can also add table tags for column formating:
<table>
<tr><td>column 1</td></tr><tr><td nowrap>
<ORACLE>
DECLARE
usr varchar2(25):=PORTAL30.WWCTX_API.GET_USER;
BEGIN
for c in
(SELECT <column_name> <alias> FROM PORTALWORK.CRS_USER WHERE USER_ID=usr)
Loop
htp.p(c.<alias>);
END;
</ORACLE>
</td></tr></table>

Need help in rewriting a sql query

Can any one please tell me if there is any utility that can help me correcting the sql I have I need to tune the query as its taking lot of time. I want to use some tool that will help me re-formating the query.
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

If you think that Oracle SQL Tuning Tools like SQL Tuning Advisor and SQL Access Advisor are not helping.
You might look into thrid party tools like Quest- SQL Navigator and TOAD.
But I don't advise this based on the following:
Re: Oracle Third Party Tools and Oracle Database
Oracle have enough tools of its own to satisfy the various needs.

Customizing the HTML for a Report from SQL Query

Hello
I have created a Report from a SQL query that outputs a list of items from a single table column. There are 65 rows returned by the report. I would like to display all the results on one page but the length of the list prevents this. Is there any way of presenting the results as multiple columns on the same page?
ie
Res1 Res2 Res3
Res4 Res5 Res6
or
Res1 Res3 Res5
Res2 Res4 Res6
I thought about using a 3 column portlet region and attempting to customise the report displayed via each of the portlets but I would prefer to avoid this as it would require the development and maintenance of an additional template.
Thanks
Lisa

Problem solved...
I have used my SQL query as a cursor in a dynamic page and then used the cursor and htp.p statements to tabulate my results as per my requirements.

ORA-01006 during report from SQL Query

We are running WebDB 2.2 against a 7.3.4.4 database. I have a report created from a SQL query which references 4 bind variables. During execution I receive the following, Failed to bind - :periodyr| |' with
ORA-01006: bind variable does not exist.
Anyone have any idea what causes this error, could it be because I reference a bind variable (:periodyr) more than once in the query? Is there a work around?
I have included the where clause as reference:
WHERE gcc.code_combination_id = gb.code_combination_id
AND gb.code_combination_id = gjl.code_combination_id
AND gjl.je_header_id = gjh.je_header_id
AND gb.budget_version_id =
(select budget_version_id
from gl.gl_budget_versions
where budget_name = :periodyr| |' OPERATING')
AND gjh.actual_flag = 'B'
AND gb.actual_flag = 'B'
AND gb.period_name = gjl.period_name
AND gb.period_year = nvl(:periodyr,gb.period_year)
and gcc.segment2 = nvl(:cstctr,gcc.segment2)
and ffvobj.attribute10 = nvl(:ctrlgrp,ffvobj.attribute10)
and gcc.segment3 = nvl(:objcode,gcc.segment3)
Thanks
Mark

I think there is a bug in the procedure which picks up the bind variables from a SQL.
Workground: put a space between variable :periodyr and operator | | as:
where budget_name = :periodyr | |' OPERATING')
Hope this will work

Need Help with Creating the SQl query

Hi,
SQL query gurus...
INFORMATION:
I have two table, CURRENT and PREVIOUS.(Table Defs below).
CURRENT:
Column1 - CURR_PARENT
Column2 - CURR_CHILD
Column3 - CURR_CHILD_ATTRIBUTE 1
Column4 - CURR_CHILD_ATTRIBUTE 2
Column5 - CURR_CHILD_ATTRIBUTE 3
PREVIOUS:
Column1 - PREV_PARENT
Column2 - PREV_CHILD
Column3 - PREV_CHILD_ATTRIBUTE 1
Column4 - PREV_CHILD_ATTRIBUTE 2
Column5 - PREV_CHILD_ATTRIBUTE 3
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Here the columns 3 to 5 are the attributes of the Child. Lets assume that I have two loads, One Today which goes to the CURRENT table and one yesterday which goes to the PREVIOUS table. Between these two loads there is a CHANGE in the value for Columns either 3/4/5 or all of them(doesnt matter if one or all).
I want to determine what properties for the child have changed with the help of a MOST efficient SQL query.(PARENT+CHILD is unique key). The Database is ofcourse ORACLE.
Please help.
Regards,
Parag

Hi,
The last message was not posted by the same user_name that started the thread.
Please don't do that: it's confusing.
Earlier replies give you the information you want, with one row of output (maximum) per row in current_tbl. There may be 1, 2 or 3 changes on a row.
You just have to unpivot that data to get one row for every change, like this:
WITH     single_row AS
     SELECT     c.curr_parent
     ,     c.curr_child
     ,     c.curr_child_attribute1
     ,     c.curr_child_attribute2
     ,     c.curr_child_attribute3
     ,     DECODE (c.curr_child_attribute1, p.prev_child_attribute1, 0, 1) AS diff1
     ,     DECODE (c.curr_child_attribute2, p.prev_child_attribute2, 0, 2) AS diff2
     ,     DECODE (c.curr_child_attribute3, p.prev_child_attribute3, 0, 3) AS diff3
     FROM     current_tbl    c
     JOIN     previous_tbl   p     ON c.curr_parent     = p.prev_parent
                            AND c.curr_child     = p.prev_child
     WHERE     c.curr_child_attribute1     != p.prev_child_attribute1
     OR     c.curr_child_attribute2     != p.prev_child_attribute2
     OR     c.curr_child_attribute3     != p.prev_child_attribute3
,     cntr     AS
     SELECT     LEVEL     AS n
     FROM     dual
     CONNECT BY     LEVEL <= 3
SELECT     s.curr_parent     AS parent
,     s.curr_child     AS child
,     CASE     c.n
          WHEN 1 THEN s.curr_child_attribute1
          WHEN 2 THEN s.curr_child_attribute2
          WHEN 3 THEN s.curr_child_attribute3
     END          AS attribute
,     c.n          AS attribute_value
FROM     single_row     s
JOIN     cntr          c     ON     c.n IN ( s.diff1

Generate Report from SQL Query with Parameter

I have a web application that needs to generate static PDF reports. What I want to do is:
1. Use Acrobat to create a form
2. Open the form programmatically on the webserver
3. Pass it a parameter such as a "clientID"
4. Automatically populate the rest of the form using a SQL stored procedure with the clientID as the parameter
5. Save the form as a static, non-editable PDF and display it for the client to either view/save/print
Example:
Database would contain a table called Clients
ID LastName Location Phone
1 Doe New York 111-111-1111
2 Smith California 222-222-2222
Stored Procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE GetClient
@id int
AS
SELECT LastName, Location FROM Clients WHERE ID = @id
GO
Acrobat Form
Last Name: [txtLastName]
Location: [txtLocation]
Website user requests report for clientID=1. Result is a PDF that looks like this:
Last Name: Doe
Location: New York
I am very new to Acrobat, so please explain in detail how I can go about doing this. Thanks very much in advance.

Good morning. Did you find a solution to your problem? I'm looking for something to do the same for a from created in Live Cycle 7.0. If you can share some information or examples, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Ernest
