Parameter Query

How to create a Parameter Query which ask the user to key in data and search the result from keyed data.
I have managed to create Parameter Query in MS Database but i am struggling in SQL+ (oracle)

use the & (ampersand) and subsitution variables if using SQLPLUS
e.g
SELECT field1,
field2
FROM table1
WHERE field3 = '&field3' (for strings)
or WHERE field3 = &field3 (for numbers)
Check Oracle - the Complete Reference for further info on this;
If programming in PL/SQL used parameterised Cursors (See a good pl/sql text book)
Hope this helps.

Parameter Query for True or False values

I have what seems like a painfully simple task and it has me stopped dead. I reviewed a similar thread, and the answers there don't seem to apply. Working in Crystal 11.5 with an MS SQL database.
I am pulling data from vwCommmittees. There is a field in this view called IsActive. I want to create a committee list report that will allow the user to select only the active committees or all committees.
A SQL select statement that says where dbo.IsActive = '1' will return only the active committees.
In Crystal reports, if I place the IsActive field on the report, it returns with "True" or "False."
When I create a parameter for this field, I find that 1) I can't see the parameter in the report expert -- my only choices are Is any value, Is true, Is false or Formula.
I've made several attempts to create a formula and nothing is working. It's not clear to me wheter I should be creating a static or a dynamic parameter. When I choose boolean as the type, that doesn't seem to help. I tried a dynamic parameter which gave me true and false values, but don't seem to work.
Any pointers on dealing with this kind of parameter query would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Ridge (in New Joisey)

Hi..
Create a static parameter and give the default values like
0 and 1
In Record Selection check like..dbo.IsActive = {?parameter}
If the above is not working for you, then create a formula
like..
If dbo.IsActive = '1' then
"Active"
Else "In Active"
Place this formula on your report and create a static parameter with default values Active and In Active.
In record selection filter the above.
Thanks,
Sastry

3 range parameter query to Oracle data base from Excel 2000

A user bas been trying to setup parameter queries into an Oracle
DB. He normally used MS query and written VBA code to
modify the query for daily or adhoc updates.
With Excel 2000, he wanted to take advantage of parameter
queries linked directly to cells in a spreadsheet.
He was able to get single or two level parameter queries
directly linked to the spreadsheet to run, however every time he
went to a
three level parameter query it crashed while returning the data
to Excel.
The error windows read: Microsoft Excel [Oracle][ODBC] with no
other details.
Is there a limit on the number of "levels" for parameter
queries.
The user was able to build and see the results of a three level
query in MS Query, but every time he tried to return the data to
Excel, it crashed.
Jeff

This is an Microsoft Access problem. When you initally connect
to an ODBC source database Access caches the connection and does
not ask for connection information on subsequent linked table
accesses. This causes a problem if you request information from
tables belonging to different users during the same Access
session. The way to avoid this error happening is to create a
user with access privileges to both users being used by the
Access front end. When you connect to Oracle use the new user
and you should be able to connect to all the linked tables. It
may also be worth copying the Access databases to one single
database and trying the migration that way.

Oracle date parameter query not working?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14539489/oracle-date-parameter-query-not-working
Trying to run the below query, but always fails even though the parameter values matches. I'm thinking there is a precision issue for :xRowVersion_prev parameter. I want too keep as much precision as possible.
Delete

where ITEMID = :xItemId

The Oracle Rowversion is a TimestampLTZ and so is the oracle parameter type.

Parameter query or cascading combo boxes

In my Access 2013 web app, I have a form for entering a specific type of activity. I am using a related item control to add contacts to each activity. The main table is Activity, the related Item Control is based on (join table) Assignment.
So far so good.
Now on the popup view I need to be able to assign contacts to the activity and I need to filter the choice of contacts based on location and group, so for example, when I open the contact combo box, I see only my volunteers from office 1, or only my staff
from office 2, etc. Is this best accomplished by cascading combo boxes? Or should I somehow use a parameter query? I have tried the cascading combo boxes but so far have not been able to get them to work.
FYI: In the contacts table, every contact has a location and group. Also, I have one table for location and one for group, so that I can use those in look ups.
My join table is: Activity ID (look up to activity table) / Contact (look up to Contact Table)

Hi,
>>
I need to filter the choice of contacts based on location and group
Is this best accomplished by cascading combo boxes?
I have tried the cascading combo boxes but so far have not been able to get them to work.
<<
In this case, I will suggest you using the Combo Box control which has the build-in support on cascading feature.
And what do you mean by “not been able to get them work”? I did a quick test and it worked as expected.

Access Parameter Query by form, returns a form for each returned value

I have a form set up with a parameter query. It returns data from multiple tables. My problem is it returns the data for say 7 records, but then it repeats the entire form 7 times, the forms are identical with all the data included. I want it to return
the data on one form. It must be a setting, or statement that is lacking but I can't seem to find it.

Hans,
Thank You for the response. I first changed the setting in the SubForm Query, same result. Then I changed it in the Report, still no difference. After reading some information in other forums it may be because I am pulling the data from the Tables using
the InvoiceNum field from one table, on both the Report and the SubForm, and I have the Report and Subform linked by this field. The InvoiceNum field is the Foreign key created to pull the desired data, if I don't use it I get all the data in the tables, not
just the data I need.

Access Parameter Query

Does anyone know how to call an Access parameter query with a
Dreamweaver
recordset (ASP/VBScript)?
For instance, if I have an Access query like the one below.
PARAMETERS varUser Text ( 255 );
SELECT Users.FirstName, Users.LastName, Users.Login
FROM Users
WHERE (((Users.Login)=[varUser]));
Above is just an example. I know I could easily place the
where clause in
the SQL for the recordset on the page if that was all I
wanted. I need to
use an Access parameter query though.

Hans,
Thank You for the response. I first changed the setting in the SubForm Query, same result. Then I changed it in the Report, still no difference. After reading some information in other forums it may be because I am pulling the data from the Tables using
the InvoiceNum field from one table, on both the Report and the SubForm, and I have the Report and Subform linked by this field. The InvoiceNum field is the Foreign key created to pull the desired data, if I don't use it I get all the data in the tables, not

Problem in parameter query.

CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I'm using Crystal reports xi. I have problem on parameter fields. field name-EmployeeCode, datatype-String.In report,I kept the following query in selection expert,(EmployeeTable.EmployeeCode) like "" +{?employeeCode} employeeCode-String Parameter,(while selecting Single option,it'll display in report that particular employeecode only), like "" (while selecting All option in Jsp page,it'll display All employeecodes from database).Now, I have changed my EmployeeCode datatype as integerfield name-EmployeeCode, datatype-String.In Slection Expert, I'm facing problem on previous query "String required" ,though I kept employeeCode as number.(It should fit for Single and All Option)Pls help me on Previous query with integer datatype.

CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
It appears that your problem comes from using "+" as the concatenation operator. From the documentation for this operator:If you want to include a value from a numeric field (for example, an account
balance), you must first convert that value to a text string using the ToText function:
"Your account balance is " + ToText({file.BALANCE}) + "."
Instead of casting, you could also switch to the "&" concatenation operator which gives the added benefit of avoiding subtle bugs when attempting to concatenate strings of numbers.

Using IN Operator in Query Parameter querying an Oracle dataset

I have created a main data set querying from Oracle in which I have two query parameters that are multi-valued lists. I created a data set for each of those multi-valued lists. These two parameters are configured to be multi-valued and selected
from the query. On the main data set, the parameters are set to an expression: = Join(Parameter.Field.Value, ","). If I sent just one value as a default in each of those parameters, works great. If I select "Select All"
in my drop down and rerun the report then I get "Query execution failed for dataset" and "rsErrorExecutingCommand". I am using Report Builder 3.0. I have seen some older posts saying you have to use a stored procedure to generate
a string from the selects to be passed to the parameter? I don't get this. Obviously I want to stick with using a query parameter for the performance gain. Is there an easy way to make this work?
Grateful for any help! Laurie

Laurie, you are right that the execution time is too long. Your instinct is correct to put the burden on the database to return the correct resultset, rather than filtering it in the report.
I think I wasn't clear about my explanation and you may have made this more complicated than it needs to be. The functionality that you want is already in ReportBuilder. Please check out this example from MS:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337396(v=sql.105).aspx
This is the correct syntax:
AND soh.SalesPersonID IN (@BusinessPersonID)
Is this how you have your query configured? If not, could you supply an example.
Hope that helps,
Mark

3061 Error related to an parameter query

Hi,
I see I am not the only one encountering the 3061 error, but I would not be surprised I could be the only one not understanding how to solve it..
J
I am using the below function in a module XX (this is curtesy of Mr DbGuy) .
In query X , field B I have the following parameter referring to form C. [Forms]![FRUITS_FORM]![FRUIT_COMBO]
I do not understand how to apply previous suggestion in the below context. All this process is to be triggered from Button XX in Form XX.
Public Function SimpleCSV(strSQL As String, _
            Optional strDelim As String = " OR ") As String
'Returns a comma delimited string of all the records in the SELECT SQL statement
'Source: http://accessmvp.com/thedbguy
'v1.0 - 8/20/2013
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strCSV As String
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenSnapshot)
'Concatenate the first (and should be the only one) field from the SQL statement
With rs
    Do While Not .EOF
        strCSV = strCSV & strDelim & .Fields(0)
        .MoveNext
    Loop
    .Close
End With
'Remove the leading delimiter and return the result
SimpleCSV = Mid$(strCSV, Len(strDelim) + 1)
Set rs = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
End Function

If the SQL statement being passed into the function as a string expression references a query with parameters you won't be able to do that with this function as it stands. Where it is necessary to establish a recordset object on the basis of a query
with parameters then you must firstly evaluate the parameters by looping though the querydef object's Parameters collection, and then call the OpenRecordset method of the querydef object. Here's code snippet which illustrates this:
    Dim dbs As DAO.Database
    Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
    Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
    Dim prm As DAO.Parameter
    Set dbs = CurrentDb
    Set qdf = dbs.QueryDefs(strQuery)
    For Each prm In qdf.Parameters
        prm = Eval(prm.Name)
    Next prm
    Set rst = qdf.OpenRecordset
However, you have no reference to a querydef object in the code, so you'd need to amend the function to create a temporary querydef object on the basis of the SQL statement, whose parameters you can evaluate as above, and then call its OpenRecordset method.

Parameter QUERY ON/OFF in *START_BADI

Hello,
I would like to know how the data selection happens for a BADI for both QUERY parameter settings. (ON/OFF)
Thx a lot
Dieter

Hello Dieter,
If you have QUERY = ON in START_BADI then input parameter CT_DATA is populated with data from Application retrieved using XDIM and DM Package restriction.
If QUERY = OFF then CT_DATA is empty.

Then, if you want to connect the Remedy's oracle database, please see the thread:

On what OS you are trying to do that ?
What oracle version ?
Did you try to use parameter file ?
Have in mind that when using parameter file , special characters don't need to be escaped.
