Number of records in a database table

Hi,
Is there a way to find the no of records for database tables ? I have over 1000 tables and need to find the tables without any records. I have found an FM for this requirment but it isnt of much use as i dont have developer access to the system.
Thanks & Regards,
Esha Raj

Hi esha,
This is one way. Just copy paste to get a feel.
On the screen, in select-options, enter a few tables, and it will output the table name and the record count.
report abc.
data : mycount type i.
tables : DD02L.
select-options : tabname for dd02l-tabname no intervals.
loop at tabname.
select count(*)
into mycount
from (tabname-low).
write :/ tabname-low , mycount.
endloop.
regards,
amit m.

Count Number of Records in Oracle Database Table

Please help me to see if I "set" and "return" the number of records in my database table correctly (I am using the Oracle 9i):
   public int getNumberOfRecipientBeans() throws AssertionException, DatabaseException
      Connection conn = null;
      PreparedStatement stmt = null;
      String query = "SELECT count(*) FROM ContactEntry WHERE ContactTypeID = 6";

How to count and display the number of records in a database table

My webpage has a list of items and their details, every item has a button
Read / Make comments that loads the item in its own page displaying
a comments form and previous comments.
This is all working fine.
I would like to add to each item information stating how many comments have
been made about that item.
Allowing the user to see before hand if it is worth while clicking on the
Read / Make comments button.
Ideally each item will have a different number of comments.
The problem I have is outputing the number of comments associated with each item.
My comments table is called guest my items table is called titles.
I'm sure mysql statement is correct -
The table guest currently has 7 comments,
Item 1 has 3 comments
Item 2 has 2 comments
Item 3 has 1 comment
Item 4 has 1 comment
When I test the query in dreamweaver
$Recordset1 = "SELECT COUNT(guest.software_id) as COUNT, titles.id FROM titles LEFT JOIN guest ON titles.id = guest.software_id GROUP BY guest.software_id";
the outoput is a list showing 2, 3, 1, 1
My problem is, getting the totals into my repeat region.
I tried the following line
<td align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="#e5f8cb">Current comments:<?php echo $row_Recordset1['COUNT']; ?></td>
resulting in all comments so far displaying 0
I have highlighted in bold the parts that I am having difficulty with.

I changed the mysql as you suggested GROUP BY titles.id
and added a while loop to iterate over the data
mysql_select_db($database_abe, $abe);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT COUNT(guest.software_id) as COUNT, titles.id FROM titles LEFT JOIN guest ON titles.id = guest.software_id GROUP BY titles.id";
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $abe) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1) or die(mysql_error());
<td>Current comments:<?php
if($row_Recordset1)
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($row_Recordset1))
echo $row['COUNT'];
} ?></td>
The first item now displays the following,
comments:2311000000000000000000000000000
all others
comments:
the number matched the database table exactly, 30 records 4 of which have 2, 3, 1, 1 comments.
It looks as if the problem is trying to get the repeat region to pick up on it!

To count the records in the database table...

I want to count the number of records in the database table (infotypes PA0000)
is it possible to count ?
Any function module is there?
Thanks in advance..

Hi dhavamani ponnusamy,
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM <DB TABLE NAME> WHERE <CONDITION>.
or
SY-DBCNT Will have total no of records satisfying the given criteria in where clause.
See below sample..
Data: itab like mara occurs 0 with header line.
Select * from mara into table mara.
write:/ sy-dbcnt.
Hope it will solve your problem...

Only one round trip to database from BizTalk per message irrespective of number of records in message per table.

I am creating biztalk application to store the data into sql server.
and my client says this line what i am not understood .
"Only one round trip to database from BizTalk per message irrespective of number of records in message per table."
Any one can help me to understand this line.!
Thanks,

One more option is -
Create a stored procedure to perform batch insert, you can insert into any number of tables you want.
--sample SP code...just added the steps you need to know to extract XML and perform insert
CREATE PROCEDURE <SPName>
@YourXML XML
AS
BEGIN
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @idoc OUTPUT, @youXML
SET @j = 1
            WHILE @j <= @recordCount
            BEGIN
                 SET @xpath = '//ns1:RootNode/Record[' + CAST(@j AS VARCHAR(11)) + ']'
                 ;WITH XMLNAMESPACES('record namespace' as ns0, 'rootnode namespace' as ns1)
     INSERT INTO YourTable
                  (field1, field2....field20)
                  SELECT
                        field1, field2....field20
                  FROM OPENXML(@idoc, @xpath, 2)
                        WITH(field1 varchar(2), field2 varchar(20)........field20 varchar(100))
                  SET @j = @j + 1
            END
END
On BizTalk side its quite simple...generate schema for your stored procedure...and in your map transform your XML to StoredProcedure schema using CDATA.
Hope it helps!!

You could always analyze the tables:
declare
begin
for X in (select owner, table_name from all_tables
             minus
            select owner, table_name from all_external_tables) LOOP
      dbms_stats.Gather_Table_Stats(X.Owner, X.Table_Name) ;
end loop;
end;
/Then: Select Owner, Table_Name, Num_Rows from All_Tables ;

Inserting multiple records in to database table using webdynpro abap

Hi all,
I have created a username inputfield,a button and a table
with one coloumn.
If i enter names in the input field then the values should be
displayed in that table.
Even i have got the answer i am not able to insert
the values in to database(ztable) table.
i.e. only one value(1st) was inserted the second value was
not inserted ....
so kindly send me the coding to insert multiple records
into the database table......
by,
ranjith

hi Ranjith,
If you want to insert multiple records from the webdynpro view table to database table then try the following code.
DATA lo_nd_tablenode TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_tablenode TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_tablenode TYPE wd_this->element_tablenode.
DATA it_tablenode LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF ls_tablenode.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <tablenode> via lead selection
lo_nd_tablenode = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_tablenode ).
get element via lead selection
lo_el_tablenode = lo_nd_tablenode->get_element( ).
get all declared attributes
lo_nd_tablenode->get_static_attributes_table(
IMPORTING
table = it_tablenode ).
MODIFY databasetablename FROM TABLE it_tablenode.
here it_tablenode is the internal table which holds the value from webdynpro view..

Locking multiple records in a database table at a time

Hi Experts,
   I have a requirement to lock multiple records in the database table for writing. I have created lock object in SE11. But with this we have only 2 possibilities either lock entire table or lock a single record at a time.
   My requirement is, i have table with key field PROJECTID. I want more than one project to be locked, but not the complete table. I dont have any other field in the table to compare.
Thanks in advance..

Hi ,
Try with FOR UPDATE in the SELECT sentence.
SELECT FOR UPDATE *
    INTO Internal_Table
FROM Table
WHERE Conditions.
UPDATE "Table_name" FROM TABLE Internal_Table.
COMMIT WORK.
This sentence blocks only the records that satisfy of the WHERE conditions (not the entire table) and unlocks after commit work.
Hope this information is help to you.

Number of records in a standard table

Hi,
How to find number of records, without fetching them into a internal table?
is there any command for that?
I want to know the number of records of a standard table in a report.
Thanks

Hi,
If you want to know the number of records in your internal table after select statement.
You can use the below statement.
data : wa_lines like sy-tfill.
DESCRIBE TABLE itab LINES WS_LINES.
In wa_lines you will have the number of records.
If you want to know the number of records from standard itself.
You can use below :
select count(*) from table into variable
endselect.
Thanks,
Sriram Ponna.

To count number of records in an internal table for a condition

Hello All,
I want to count number of records in an internal table for a condition.
For e.g. -- I have one internal table IT which having fields F1, F2, F3, F4, F5.
Now, I want number of records in itnternal table IT where F1 = 'ABC'.
Is it possible to do..?? If yes, then how.??
Thanks in advance...!!
Regards,
Poonam.

Hi,
If you mean an internal table, there are a few ways to do this.
1 One would be to loop over the table with a WHERE clause and increment a counter.
data: lv_counter type i.
clear lv_counter.
loop at itab where fld1 = 'ABC'.
lv_counter = lv_counter + 1.
endloop.
lv_counter now has the number of rows per the condiction.
2 Well, you may want to try this as well, and compare to the LOOP way. Not sure what kind of overhead you may get doing this way. Here ITAB is our main internal table, and ITAB_TMP is a copy of it. Again I think there may be some overhead in doing the copy. Next, delete out all records which are the reverse of your condition. Then whatever is left is the rows that you want to count. Then simply do a LINES operator on the internal table, passing the number of lines to LV_COUNT.
data: itab type table of ttab.
data: itab_tmp type table of ttab.
itab_tmp[] = itab[].
delete table itab_tmp where fld1 'ABC'.
lv_count = lines( itab_tmp ).
Thanks & Regards,

Selecting the last record from a database table

In my ABAP Program, I have to use a select statement to retrieve the last record from the database table with the same key. In other words, the Program will get more than one hit on the database table for the selected keys and I need to retrieve values from only the last record and not the first. I know I can use an internal table to sort the records first and then retrieve the right value.   But to make things easier, is there a SELECT statement keyword than I can use to do this in one single step? Thanks!
