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.

Many thanks,
Andrew

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 ;

How to search records in a standard table with * ?

Hi everyone,
Can anyone tell me how to search records in a standard table with * ?
That is, in screen if user type * abc * for searching the records in which the field MC_STEXT contains 'abc'. What the code should be? How to complete the code below?
SELECT SINGLE objid FROM p1000 INTO p1000-objid,
WHERE MC_STEXT = ? .
Thanks!

Hi
There are several way to do that, probably just as some guys wrote the easier way is to use LIKE in WHERE condition and the sign % instead of *:
V_STRING = '%ABC%'.
SELECT SINGLE objid FROM p1000 INTO p1000-objid,
WHERE MC_STEXT LIKE V_STRING.
U can also use a range (just like select-options):
RANGES: R_MC FOR P1000-MC_STEXT.
R_MC-LOW = 'ABC'.
R_MC(3) = 'ICP'.
APPEND R_MC.
SELECT SINGLE objid FROM p1000 INTO p1000-objid,
WHERE MC_STEXT IN R_MC.

You can use these instructions using two internal tables, but please be aware to not forget any line.
REFRESH my_table2.
APPEND LINES OF my_table FROM 1 TO 990 TO my_table2.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI'....

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";
      ResultSet rs = null;
      try
         conn = DBConnection.getDBConnection();
         stmt = conn.prepareStatement( query );
         rs = stmt.executeQuery();
         // do I have to set anything here?
         if ( !rs.next() )
            throw new AssertionException("Assertion in servuce.getNumberOfRecipients");
          // Am I returning the counts here?
          return rs.getInt( 1 );
      catch( SQLException sqle )
         sqle.printStackTrace();

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,

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!!

Changing The record in a Standard Table

Hi,
I need to change the record which i had entered in the standard table.I can able to delete it by going in to the debugging mode but my question is how to change the record.
Regards,
Vijaya Lakshmi

To update the data of any table, go to transaction SE16N, type u201C&SAP_EDITu201D. It will activate SAP editing function.
Esle.
Opern any record in SE16.Double click on the record so that all the fileds will be displayed in vertical format.
start debugging by /H
change the value of "code" to "DELE" and execute.
Moreover if you want to do this in PROD environment, I would NOT use the SE16n way, due to dependencies, which can have unwanted effects (database inconsistencies). Although in this case (only Name of customer), it might not be as bad as it normally would be.

Max number of records in an internal table

Hi,
Can any one tell me what is the Max Number of records we can get into an internal table.
if you have any link of sap help on this please FWD.

Hi lakshmikanth,
Internal Tables as Dynamic Data Objects
Internal tables are always completely specified regarding row type, key and access type. However, the number of lines is not fixed. Thus internal tables are dynamic data objects, since they can contain any number of lines of a particular type. The only restriction on the number of lines an internal table may contain are the limits of your system installation. The maximum memory that can be occupied by an internal table (including its internal administration) is 2 gigabytes. A more realistic figure is up to 500 megabytes. An additional restriction for hashed tables is that they may not contain more than 2 million entries. The line types of internal tables can be any ABAP data types - elementary, structured, or internal tables. The individual lines of an internal table are called table lines or table entries. Each component of a structured line is called a column in the internal table.

keerthi.

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!

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.
