Crystal Syntax "Like" Statment on date searches.

Post Author: smilbuta
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hello,
I am currently developing an application using VS2005 and Crystal Reports.
I wish to pass a Crystal Syntax statement to the report that searches for like dates in a date column in a SQL 2005 Database..
The statments as follows.
crystalsyntax = "{EQ_Equipment.equipment_warranty} like '2009'"
I get returned an error saying string expected??
so i tested diferent formats, and if i use this string i get only one record returned out of a known test group of 10 records.
"{EQ_Equipment.equipment_warranty} Like DateValue('2009')"
so im unsure what im doing wrong. Any advice would be apreciated.

CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
LIKE is used to compare strings. You're trying to compare a date with a string. That's why it says "string expected".
I'm not sure what the result of DateValue('2009') is, but it's pretty certain that what you've then got is a date (warrenty) being 'liked' with a date, so both are being implicitely converted to strings first.
What you could do is explicitely convert the warrenty date to a string in a format of your choice (don't rely on the implicit format) and then LIKE that with '2009'.
Or change your statement to Year() = 2009 but this might result in Crystal doing the hard work instead of the database.
Best would be to test that the warrenty date is in the year range, so that you can still use any index that might exist on the warrenty date column. See the help on 'in range operator'. e.g. in DateValue(<year>, 01, 01) to DateValue(<year>, 12, 31)

Are there any tools to generate doc plsql like javadoc???

Hi
I want to know if there are any tools or plugin in order to buil-in javadoc with pl/sql code.
Thanks

For what version?
There are plenty of third-party tools available and there is an excellent built-in with 11gR1.

[b]how to use EJB QL for LIKE and ROWNUM[/b]

Hi,
i am using CMP EJB with OC4J server
i face two problems in it when i make any query like
select object(o) from Partymas o where o.stationCode like '?1' and o.rownum >='?2' and o.rownum <='?3' order by party_name
then it shows error on rownum so i cant understand how to solve it
second is when i use LIKE statment in EJB QL like this:-
select object(o) from Partymas o where o.pinCode like '%?%'
then it shows error so can any one help me
thanks
warm regards
vikassheelgupta

<ejb-ql>select object(o) from Partymas o where o.stationCode like '?1' and
rownum >='?2' and rownum <='?3' order by party_name</ejb-ql>Try this:
rownum >= ?2 and rownum <= ?3
<ejb-ql>select object(o) from Partymas o where o.partyName like '%?%'</ejb-ql>Try this:
like ?1

Using database links in a plsql page process

I am trying to use a database link in a pl/sql page process.
It works fine when I use the link name in the plsql like this:
BEGIN
SELECT
CARD_ID
into
:P12_HDR_CARD_NUMBER
from     [email protected];
But the link name will be coming from a page item (P12_DBLINK) populated as follows:
select db_link d, db_link r from user_db_links;
I have tried the following and it's not working:
DECLARE
l_link VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
l_link := :P12_DBLINK;
SELECT
CARD_ID
into
:P12_HDR_CARD_NUMBER
from     fusion.EXM_CC_COMPANY_ACCOUNTS@l_link;
this gives me:
ORA-04052: error occurred when looking up remote object FUSION.EXM_CC_COMPANY_ACCOUNTS@L_LINK.WORLD ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 3 ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found
I thought that maybe the link name was getting appended with .WORLD automatically but the link name already has .WORLD at the end. I tried stripping that off first but the error is the same.
Is there some synatx for this that will work for this? Will I need to use dynamic sql?
Any suggestions are most appreciated.
thanks,
john

Hi John,
check the following example to use the execute immediate statement for your purpose
sql - Variable for Database Link Name - Stack Overflow
let me know if this answers your query in the current thread

Passing parameters to like condition

hi all,
i am trying to pass a parameters from a form to a report and use this parameter
in a where condition of the sql query , my problem is that i need to use this parameter in a like statment to bring all the records which are like this parameter
its not working...
function AfterPForm return boolean is
V_WHERE VARCHAR2(200);
begin
--:P_called is the parameter sent from the form
IF :P_called IS NOT NULL THEN
V_WHERE := '%'||:P_called||'%';
END IF;
:P_where := 'AND CALLED like' || V_WHERE;
return (TRUE);
end;
----- this is the query----
SELECT *
FROM VOIP_CDR
where substr(VOIP_CDR.CALL_INITIATION_TIME,1,8) between :f_date and :t_date
&p_where

What if you change the code like:
:P_where := ' AND CALLED like' || V_WHERE;
so add an additional space in front of the AND statement

Plsql exceptions from Java?

If I have plsql like this:
blue exception;
red exception;
Is there some way that I can tell from
which java which of those exceptions has
been raised? (I am aware of raise_application_error).

Why can't I view and download PDF's?

Folks;
I keep having problems since I upgraded to Snow Lepard. Since the upgrade I have not been able to view or down load PDF's like statments from various organizations. It doesn't seem to make any difference which browser I use, Safari or FireFox. Before SL I was able to download these same files and view them in Preview. Any suggestions? Do I need Acrobat Reader?
Thanks
Cap2799

Only a few PDFs require Adobe Acrobat. Preview should be able to open most. What happens if you Option click the PDF link and open it from your download folder using the control-click Open-with Preview?

Jdeveloper with VPD / FGAC possible ? i.e. oracle portal tables and views

I am trying to create some view objects based on oracle portals views and tables. However I always get the following error.
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_SSO", line 1407
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_SSO", line 1216
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_SSO", line 1469
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_API", line 152
This is because I have not set the context using plsql. i.e
portal.wwctx_api_private.set_context(p_user_name => 'PORTAL',p_update_flat => true);
Is there a way of using portal views in jdevloper and setting the context first. I am thinking the portal database uses vpd, fine grained access control.
Regards
Orlando

Hi,
using ADF BC you can override the prepare session method on the AM to set the context.
public void prepareSession(Session _session)
super.prepareSession(_session);
// some PLSQL like
String appContext = "Begin ctxhrpckg.set_userinfo('"+getApplicationUserName()+"'); END;";
java.sql.CallableStatement st= null;
try
st = getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement(appContext,0);
st.execute();
} catch (java.sql.SQLException s)
throw new oracle.jbo.JboException(s);
} finally
try
if (st!= null)
st.close();
} catch (java.sql.SQLException s2){}

Any EVAL() equalant functions in SQL or PL/SQL

good day
i have 2 loops ,
outer loop has the real data from a table
and
inner loop has the column name to be selected from outer loop.
so in runtime, i need to select the columns dynamically .thats why i use inner loop. please see below.
for i in data Loop
for j in col_name Loop
--column name of data loop should be selected from this col_name loop.
dbms_output.put_line(i.||j.col_name);
End Loop;
End Loop;
But this should not work.
is there any eval function in plsql like in java and javascript to resolve this?
please advice.
thanks

> so in runtime, i need to select the columns dynamically .thats why i use
inner loop.
There are two basic approaches to dealing with dynamic projections. (projection = the columns and data types returned by a SELECT)
One is to use an interface that allows you, at run-time, to describe the projection. This is called a cursor's describe interface. In PL/SQL, that requires you to create a DBMS_SQL cursor. Details are in the [url
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_sql.htm#sthref7370]Oracle® Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference guide.
The other approach is to deal with the projection as a collection. This is illustrated below. The two problems with this approach is that you must use the collection's constructor in the projection, and that you must deal with implicit conversions or hardcode explicit data type conversions.
SQL> create or replace type TStrings as table of varchar2(4000);

Disable profile option updation at user level

I want to disable the profile option HR: Security Profile or for that matter any other profile option at user level. The user should be able to see the value set by the system administrator (Field should be grayed out) and user should not be able to update it.
How to do it??

Try a personalization combined with custom PLSQL, like this:
1) Acces System Profiles
2) Help->Diagnostics->Custom Code->Personalize
3) In the newly displayed Form Personalization form, create a line with a description like this: Prevent modification of USER_VISIBLE_VALUE
4) In the Conditions tab, set Trigger Event = WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE
5) Set Trigger Object = PROFILE_VALUES.USER_VISIBLE_VALUE
6) In the Condition text area, enter:
apps.xxror_test_sysprofile(:PROFILE_VALUES.USER_PROFILE_OPTION_NAME,'USER')=1
7) Set Processing Mode to Both
8) Switch to the Actions tab and create two actions:
first:
type = property
description = Don't update
Language=all
enabled=yes
object type=Item
target object=PROFILE_VALUES.USER_VISIBLE_VALUE
property name=UPDATE_ALLOWED
value=false
second:
type=property
description=Don't enter
language=all
enabled=yes
object type=Item
target object=PROFILE_VALUES.USER_VISIBLE_VALUE
property name=ALTERABLE_PLUS
value=false
9) Repeat steps 3-8 if desired for other levels, such as:
Prevent modification of SITE_VISIBLE_VALUE
Prevent modification of APPL_VISIBLE_VALUE
Prevent modification of RESP_VISIBLE_VALUE
Prevent modification of SERVER_VISIBLE_VALUE
Prevent modification of ORG_VISIBLE_VALUE
paying attention to update the corresponding names for xxx_VISIBLE_VALUE.
10) Create the following PLSQL function:
CREATE OR REPLACE function xxror_test_sysprofile (
prof_opt_name in varchar2,
lvl in varchar2
return number
is
v_ret number;
s_prof varchar2(1024);
s_uname varchar2(100);
s_lvl varchar2(10);
begin
-- returns 0 if the user "uname" must be granted access the profile named "prof_opt_name" at the "lvl" level
-- returns 1 if the user "uname" must be forbidden to access such a profile at such a level.
-- important assumption: the "lvl" parameter may have only one of the following values:'SITE', 'APPL', 'RESP', 'USER', 'SERVER', 'ORG'
-- or else this function will return 1, thus forbidding the access
s_uname:=substr(upper(trim(nvl(fnd_profile.value('USERNAME'),''))),1,100);
if s_uname in ('MY_ADMIN_1','MY_ADMIN_2','SYSADMIN') then
v_ret:=0; -- no restrictions
else
     if s_uname in ('MY_POWERUSER_1','MY_POWERUSER_2') then
     -- restrict to only the below mentioned profiles
     s_prof:=substr(upper(trim(nvl(prof_opt_name,''))),1,1024);
          s_lvl:=substr(upper(trim(nvl(lvl,''))),1,10);
          if
          (s_prof like '%WHATEVER%')
          then
               if s_lvl in ('SITE', 'APPL', 'RESP', 'USER', 'SERVER', 'ORG') then
                    v_ret:=0; -- level acceptable for these users on these profiles
               else
                    v_ret:=1; -- unknown level, so reject
               end if;
          else
               -- these users may not access these profiles, so reject
               v_ret:=1;
          end if;
     else
          if s_lvl = 'SITE' then
          -- no way any other user than those above may modify site-level profiles
          v_ret:=1;
          else
               -- any other user than those above may modify lower-level profiles, but
               -- for now reject all
               v_ret:=1;
          end if;
     end if;
end if;
return v_ret;
end;
Pls be aware that testing first on a test instance is always advisable.

Install error and PL/SQL error

Hello,
I'm new to Oracle. I installed Oracle8iR2 on Redhat Linux 6.2. During installation (more precisely during "Linking Oracle8i Enterprise Edition 8.1.6.1.0") I got this error :
Oracle: Error in invoking target ioracle of makefile /home/oracle/OraHome/rdbms/lib/ins-rdbms.
mk
ORA-124547: TNS: lost contact
ORA-03114: not connected to Oracle
I clicked "Ignore" and the installation continued without any other errors.
After the installation was finished I performed the initial configurations described in the manual as user root and user oracle. After that as user oracle I tried to start plsql like this :
Enter user-name : system
Enter password : *******(manager )
oraclebogdan: error in loading shared libraries libdsbtsh8.so : cannot opeb shared object
file : No such file or directory
ERROR : ORA -12547 : TNS : lost contact
Can you help me to fix the problems?
Thank you,

I have a similar problem on Red Hat 5.2. In my case, the
failing command is:
Command: make -f ins_plsql.mk install <<!
The failing portion of that make file is:
`cat /raid/u01/app/oracle/8.0.5/lib/sysliblist`
It seems that file (sysliblist) contains the following:
-lnsl -lm
So, it appears to be looking for
/raid/u01/app/oracle/8.0.5/lib/libnsl.a and
/raid/u01/app/oracle/8.0.5/lib/libm.a
Neither of those files exist anywhere on my hard disk. This
appears to be the same problem originally reported, above.
So far, no clues.....
============================================
By the way, I had an earlier failure during a different make
where it was trying to compile something and include a header
file of "sys/types.h" and I fixed it by creating a "sys"
subdirectory in /usr/include that only had in it a symbolic
link to the regular "types.h" file.
