Oracle 9i query in Oracle 8 (Running Total)

Please tell me the alternate SQL for Oracle 8 against this query which is written in Oracle 9i:
SELECT empid,empname,empgpay,sum(empgpay) over (order by empid) AS runningtotal
FROM employee;

There is not a sql structure in Oracle8i to do that directly in SQL Statement. You have to create a program unit to carry out it.

Oracle report running total Resseting balance

Dear All,
I am developing report on Oracle R12 fixed Assets, I have to calculate the running total for each asset.
In brief
Asset 1
cost Deprciation Adjusted Cost
50 - 2 48
48 -5 45
45 - 4 41
I achieved that by using
if :p_val is null then
:result := nvl(:cost,0)-nvl(:depriciation,0);
:P_val :='5';
return :result;
else
:result := nvl(:result,0)-nvl(:depriciation,0) ;
return :result;
end if;
working fine
But problem is when the next asset start on same report
Asset 2
cost Deprciation Adjusted Cost
100 5 36
it substracts the last total (running total of previous asset with depriciation which was 41 in this example).
Oracle Champs pl advice me how to solve this.
I really dont got any idea how to solve this.
thanks

Dear,
Thanks for your reply , in your reply what you said I tried this but in pl/sql I am not actually achieving the result. The balance is not resetting at next group if you give one accurate line it would be really helpfull.
thanks

How can implement running total in oracle forms

I want to implement a running total in oracle form
like
100 100
300 400
200 600
500 1100
200 1300
100 1400
PROCEDURE calculate_srno IS
current_rownum     integer:=:System.Cursor_Record;
starting_srno integer:=:rs_1;
last_rownum integer;
BEGIN
     last_record;
     last_rownum:=:system.cursor_record;
     go_record(1);
     FOR counter IN 1..last_rownum LOOP
          :sum_1:=:rs_1;
          :rs_1:=:sum_1+:rs_1;
     --     :offered_srno_to:=starting_srno;
          if last_rownum=:System.Cursor_Record then exit;
          end if;
     END LOOP;
END;
it is not working after want to insert between in the table

Why write code for this? Oracle Forms 10g has Calculated/Summary fields that will do this for you without the need of writing any PL/SQL.
Simply add a non-table item to the data block with the item you want to keep the running total for. Then change the following properties of the item:
Data Type: Number
Calculation Mode: Summary
Summary Function: Sum
Summarized Block: <Your Data Block>
Summarized Item: <Your Block Item>
Number of Items Displayed: 1 (if your item is in a Multi-Record (Tabular) layout else you don't need to change this property.
You will also need to change the following property of the block: Query All Records: Yes
If changing the Block's "Query All Records" property causes your form to be too slow because of the number of records in your block, then you could keep a running total manually by using a combination of the Post-Query and When-Validate-Item (WVI) triggers. If your block does not allow data entry, then you could do this with just the Post-Query trigger. For example:
BEGIN
/* This code sample assumes you have added a non-table item */
/* to your block called SUMMARY. */
:YOUR_BLOCK.SUMMARY := :YOUR_BLOCK.SUMMARY + NVL(:RS_1,0);
END;If your block allows data entry, then you would add the following to your existing WVI trigger.
BEGIN
/* Perform your data entry validation logic first... */
IF ....
ELSE
    ...Validation is successful...
    :YOUR_BLOCK.SUMMARY := :YOUR_BLOCK.SUMMARY + NVL(:RS_1,0);
END IF;
END;Hope this helps.

Oracle Reports : How to Create Filtered Running Totals

I need to create a column in a group to represent a running total. But I want that running total to only count rows that meet specific criteria, such as [Field_Value_1] = 'Yes'. How can I accomplish this?

make a hidden (hidden) column in select like decode(Field_value_1, 'Yes', Val_to_Sum, 0) and make running total on that column ...
Hope This Helps

We have a set of oracle clients running on T5220 zones that need some help

Greetings all -
We have a set of oracle clients running on T5220 zones that need some help.
If, for example, I execute the query "select (all) from dba_objects", trace output reports 90% of the elapsed time spent under "SQLNet message from client".
Here are OS details for the clients: Solaris 10 5/08 s10s_u5wos_10 SPARC
Running "uname -a" from the client gives:
(SunOS bmc-ste-app 5.10 Generic_127127-11 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5220)
Here are OS details for the dataserver: Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2
Running "uname -a" from the dataserver gives:
(2.6.18-92.1.6.0.2.el5 #1 SMP Thu Jun 26 17:44:55 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
The RDBMS is 10.2.0.4
Again, please note, there is no application in the picture here. We are just running a simple catalog query (select * from dba_objects) from sqlplus. Why the wait on something like this? The wait also occurs when a different query is used (select (all) from SYS.COL$ where rownum < 50000). And it doesn't matter if I used the full client or the instant client. I still get the same high-wait.
We had thought - maybe this is a network thing - so we put a test client on the same subnet as the dataserver. This helped - but not enough. The wait is still way too high even with firewalls taken out of the equation.
We've also looked at arraysize, SDU, kernel settings. And we've spent time going over tkprof, truss and sqlnet-tracing.
Has anyone ever had to solve this HIGH WAIT ON CLIENT issue? Is there a work around or some tweak I'm missing.
Is anyone configured like we are (linux dataserver, solaris clients)? If so - did you see anything like this?

Hello,
We have the exact same issue. Did you ever solve this issue? We have a t5220 and have just upgraded our 11.5.10.2 11i system on it from 9.2.0.8 32-bit sparc to 11.2.0.1 64-bit sparc. Things should be faster but arent, and our consultant has tracked it down to high wait times when the apps tier using forms connects to the database tier on the same box. So even though the t5220 is both server and client, there is something about the client sql connection.through TNS that his having trouble. Thanks for any information. We've also created an S/R with Oracle.
Note: I am well aware of the other issues with the CMT server series but this particular issue seems independent of the regular / known issues and remains a mystery to us. Other known issues with the CMT servers for SPARC:

How to integrate Oracle Portal running on Oracle Application Server 10.1.2

I have an Oracle Portal running on a Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.
Portal is responsible ( along with OID ) for the users authentication and authorization.
There is a new JEE application that was developed recently, which the Portal users must have access to.
HOW can I put a link into a page of the Portal, that redirects the portal user to a new browser window displaying my new application?
HOW can this new application, running in a separate weblogic 11g (10.3.5) server, automatically authenticate with the same username/password previously authenticated when the user logged into the portal?
Any ideas?
I´ve already thought in a bunch of ways to do it:
- put a link into the portal with a sessionId, then when opening the new app, it automatically tries to use the same session. How can I configure this session id during the creation of the portal's page? How can I use it from the new app to use the same session?
- put a link into the portal with a userid, then when opening the new app, it automatically tries to authenticate using a different authentication provider configurated in WL, which points to Portal´s OID. In this situation, how can I ensure that the user is already logged in and the session has not timed out?
- Should I use OSSO?
- Should I use OAM?
Any help would be appreciated!
Murilo

Hi Murilo,
A portletized version of your J2EE app would probably have been ideal for your purpose as it would handle both authentication (through SSO) and session information (through Portal framework as the framework can pass session information to the provider/producer). This would require changes to the application however.
Easiest approach would be to use mod_osso to protect your J2EE application. SSO would then handle the authentication for your Portal and your J2EE application.
Thanks,
EJ

Error "PPE is working" on File Upload with Oracle Portlet running 10.1.2

I am attempting to perform file upload using an Oracle Portlet running under the 10.1.2 Portal.
All the examples I have seen indicate you must identify the encoding type as "multipart/form-data" in your JSP. When I do this and attempt to submit the page I get a blank screen with the words "PPE is working.".
Looking at the "http-web-access.log" on my OC4J Standalone server I can see that the Standalone server never actually receives the request. For some reason it appears the Portal is not forwarding the request to OC4J like it is suppose to.
Can someone tell me what might be wrong? Does anyone have experience implementing file upload using Oracle Portlets and the 10.1.2 Portal?
Thanks,

I have encountered the same problem 4 years before. Finally i figured out, Oracle Portal is not supporting "multipart/form-data".
Work around is write a servlet program to upload the file into DB.

Running Total Variation Query Time Optimization

Hi all,
I've been struggling with this query for a while. I need to set a customer specific running total for 10 million rows (reset for every customer). But every time the number goes negative, I need to set it as zero.
For example,
member no amount wallet
member1 400 400
member1 -500 0
member1 200 200
member2 700 700
member2 -200 500
Query:
DECLARE @member float
DECLARE @prev_member float
DECLARE @amount float
DECLARE @wallet float
DECLARE db_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT [Member no], [Transaction Amount]
FROM [wallet_master_3]
ORDER BY [Member No], [rownum]
FOR UPDATE
OPEN db_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @member, @amount
SET @prev_member = @member
set @wallet=0
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
IF @prev_member <> @member set @wallet=0
SET @wallet = @wallet + @amount
IF @wallet < 0 SET @wallet = 0
UPDATE [wallet_master_3] SET walletsize = @wallet
WHERE CURRENT OF db_cursor
set @prev_member=@member
FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @member, @amount
END
CLOSE db_cursor
DEALLOCATE db_cursor
I've tried using a cursor. In five minutes, it ran 17,000 rows but after running it for 15 hours, the code only manages to set the running total for 175,000 rows. I'm not exactly sure why. Is there a faster approach I can use?
Thanks!

As an exercise a 'Quirky Update' may help you in this scenario. Try the below trick!
DECLARE @Wallet AS TABLE
MemberNo VARCHAR(10),
RowNum INT,
Amount INT,
Wallet INT
INSERT INTO @Wallet (MemberNo, RowNum, Amount) VALUES
('member1',1, 400),
('member1',2, -500),
('member1',3, 200),
('member2',1, 700),
('member2',2, -200)
DECLARE @RunTotal AS INT
UPDATE W1
SET
@RunTotal = W1.Wallet =
CASE
WHEN W1.RowNum = 1 THEN W1.Amount
WHEN @RunTotal + COALESCE(W1.Amount, W2.Amount) < 0 THEN 0
ELSE @RunTotal + COALESCE(W1.Amount, W2.Amount)
END
FROM @Wallet W1
LEFT OUTER JOIN @Wallet W2
ON W1.MemberNo = W2.MemberNo AND W2.RowNum = W1.RowNum - 1;
SELECT * FROM @Wallet;
RESULT
MemberNo RowNum Amount Wallet
member1 1 400 400
member1 2 -500 0
member1 3 200 200
member2 1 700 700
member2 2 -200 500

Tomcat 6 stop running while Oracle XE runs

Hi All,
=========
My Env:
Ubuntu 10
=========
After a full day's research & work I managed to install Tomcat 6, Cocoon & Java files successfully. The following is my problem.
I have an existing Oracle XE running with Apex 3.2.
When I start Tomcat 6 it gets started fine, but in few seconds it stops running and gives the message " Tomcat servlet engine is not running, but pid file exists.". I can stop & start this, or restart this but the same problem happens again after few seconds with the same message ( I know this by checking the status). During this few seconds running I am able to access it via the browser by http://localhost:8180 ( I modified the port from 8080 to 8180). Apex uses port 8080. During this time I don't have any problem with Apex (set to run at start up).
When I stop the Oracle Database and start Tomcat 6 it works fine, it continues to run perfectly. Again when I start the database, I am unable to access Apex via port 8080 & get the message "can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8080."
Can anyone please help me?
Thanks ever so much
Naushad

Hi Naushad,
you probably have missed a setting to migrate the tomcat to port 8180. The behaviour you describe fits to the one I'd expect for a port conflict - either service runs perfectly when he's "alone", but doesn't work if the other one started before.
You can fix this on both sides. Reconfiguration of the port your EPG hosts your APEX may be a little easier. You just have to login as sys and execute the following block:
begin
dbms_xdb.sethttpport(8081);
end;
commit;Change the port to whatever value you want.
To change your Tomcat port configuration, you probably edited the following piece in your server.xml
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
...You'll find other ports used by the Tomcat in that file as well. Make sure you don't have a conflict with some other service.
I'm running a Tomcat next to XE on Ubuntu 8.04. Since I had to reconfigure the Tomcats default SSL Port (8443 was already used by another web server on that machine), I moved all Tomcat ports from 80XX to 100XX, keeping the EPG on port 8080, and it works fine for me.

Can Oracle 9i run in Windows 2008?

Hi All,
Can Oracle 9i run in Wondows Server 2008 environment?
Thanks,
Sam.
Edited by: user6533646 on 2010年3月17日上午12:08

Oracle 9i is desupported.
To the best of my knowledge Oracle 10g is also not supported on Windows 2008.
Go ahead and try installing if it works its great. Of course I will not recommend it for official use.
