Practical limitations to user defined table

Hi all,
I am thinking of setting up a user defined table which will have 5 columns and around 45,000 rows. It will be used in a simple formatted search to retrieve the value in column 5 when the values in columns 3 and 4 match an item code and an invoice header code on an invoice.
Will a table of this size slow things down significantly?
Regards, David.

Hi David,
It shouldn't be that slow, but if you're worried about performance, you can also add indexes (keys in SBO) to the UDT.
For that go to User-Defined Field - Managment (I'm using SBO 2007), select the table and press the button Keys. Make sure no one else is connected for you to add the index (not even an add-on), otherwise you'll get an error.
Hope this helps,
Ian

How do i declare a user defined table type sproc parameter as a local variable?

I have a procedure that uses a user defined table type.

Why are you asking how to be an awful SQL programmer?? Your whole approach to SQL is wrong.
We have a DATE data type so your insanely long NVARCHAR(50) of Chinese Unicode strings is absurd. Perhaps you can post your careful research on this? Can you post one example of a fifty character date in any language?
The use of the "sp_" prefix has special meaning in T-SQL dialect. Good SQL programmers do not use CREATE TYPE for anything. It is dialect and useless. It is how OO programmers fake it in SQL.
The design flaw of using a "tbl-" prefix on town names is called "tibbling" and we laugh at it.
There are no lists in RDBMS; all values are shown as scalar values. First Normal Form (1NF)? This looks like a set, which would have a name.
In any -- repeat any -- declarative programming language, we do not use local variables. You have done nothing right at any level. You need more help than forum kludges.

User defined table usage

Dear Experts,
I would appriciate your advice on the sales budget screen that I am currently woking on.
the screen contains a matrix with a cfl on the product group column and a couple of columns stand for sale figures for each month.
this screen will be called form the BP form. so i would pass the selected BP code to my form.
I am not sure whether a user defined table is the answer to this job.
if i add productGroup,productCode,cardcode,Jan,Feb, ... user defined fields to this table then the system will add Code and Name fields automatically to this table, if the userdeined table is the right way to go for this job, what values i should held for the code and name fields considering both of these fields are stand alone primary key fields.
Many thanks.
Maryam.

I usually load the same value into both fields, but since the code field is only eight bytes its kind of limiting. If you don't have any information to load in the table that would be unique, like a date or year field, (or your product code if its less than 9 bytes & will be unique) then a sequential number works fine. There are threads on this forum that show different ways to do it, but one way is basically to select max(code) from the table, convert the value to numeric, add one to it and then use it as the value for both fields.
Here's a link to a thread I posted with some code on the specifics of assigning the next sequential number as code and name:

Dealing with User Defined Tables with the DI Server

I have a general question about the best way of working with the data in user defined tables using the DI Server. It appears from previous posts that it is not possible to use the standard methods such as UpdateObject. Also since update/insert and delete statements or explicitly forbidden using the ExecuteSQL method then how do we interact with the data in the tables?
Do we need to code our own data access layer for this type of access and is this a good practice?
Is this type of functionality going to be available in a future release of the DI Server?
Thanks

Using SQL for Update/Insert/Delete is not forbidden on UDTs (at least non-UDO UDTs; UDO UDTs are somehow in a gray area since they carry internal fields + e.g. inserts require further manipulation in B1 tables...)...
I.e. using ExecuteSQL to add data into UDTs is OK for DI Server...

Insert to User Defined Table

Guys.. How can i insert my data to my user defined table (Master Document), i have write code:
Set oUserTable = oCompany.UserTables.Item("TR_MD_FAKPAJAK")
oUserTable.Code = "1"
oUserTable.Name = "TORO"

Else
 MsgBox "Masuk"
End If
my question is, when i run always display error "-4002 To Generate This Document, first defined the numbering series in Administration Module",
any idea guys ??
Thx

Hi Ria,
Unfortunately you cannot insert data in to a UDO table using the DI API (by marking your table as a 'Master Document' table you have made your UDT part of a UDO). It is one of the current limitations with working with UDOs. All data must be entered through the UI (ie manually).
If you just want to store data in a UDT then it is best to create the table as 'No object'. You can then use the DI API to read and write data to your table. However, you do lose the UDO functionality (eg no automatic saving or searching etc).
Kind Regards,
Owen

Print Layout to User Defined Table

Hello guyz..
I want a make preprinted for my user query from user defined table where the header information is from another query.
I guess, the base template User Report (system) can only show the repetitve data from one query but the header area is not,
could you help, showing the header information from another query ??
Thanks Regards

Ria
The word is that you cannot use the PLD with user defined tables (i wish it was possible). So in any case to do that you have to use third party tools such as Crystal Reports and Reporting Services

How to fill the records from a User Define Table to PO item Grid

Hi To all,
I need to fill data from User Define table records into Purchase Order Item Grid.
I created an UDF Filed in PO - Header Part - "PRS"(Filed Name)
By using Formatted Search in itemcode column, i called a query,
"Select itemcode, qty from (@user define tablename) where PRS = $http://OPOR.U_PRS"
For eg:
Output from querry
ItemCode Qty
ABC 1
DEF 2
DFG 7
SDGD 9
By using formatted search it is filling only first data in to itemcode column in PO Grid.
Please help, how can i fill ALL the data in to my PO Grid?
Thanks in Advance

The easisest way is to create datasource and the result bind to grid.
Datasource:
           oDBDataSource = oForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Add("@usertablename")
            Dim xoConditions As SAPbouiCOM.Conditions
            Dim xoCondition As SAPbouiCOM.Condition
            xoConditions = New SAPbouiCOM.Conditions
            xoCondition = xoConditions.Add
            xoCondition.BracketOpenNum = 1
            xoCondition.Alias = "u_zn"
            xoCondition.Operation = SAPbouiCOM.BoConditionOperation.co_EQUAL
            xoCondition.CondVal = "cond"
            xoCondition.BracketCloseNum = 1
            oDBDataSource.Query(xoConditions)
binding (example for matrix, in grid is simillar)
            oMatrix.Clear()
            Dim cols As SAPbouiCOM.Columns
            Dim column As SAPbouiCOM.Column
            cols = oMatrix.Columns
            column = cols.Item("colX")
            column.DataBind.SetBound(True, "@usertable", "u_x")
oMatrix.LoadFromDataSource()
hoep it helps

Error creating user defined tables: Ref count (-1120)

Hi all !
I have to create user defined tables per code, so I wrote 2 main functions, first to create a table (with TableName,TableType and TableDescription properties)and and second to add fields (to a certain table which is sent as parameter).
I call these functions to create multiple tables. For the first 6 tables it works totally ok. But beginning from the 7th table it gives that "Ref count for this object is higher then 0. " (-1120) error. All parameters are ok just as the first 6 tables.
Found such an explanation like below in help files.
The DI API allows only one instance of a meta data object at a time. This maintains data integrity by preventing any manipulation of a business object while modifying the object's user fields. Therefore, verify that no other DI object is active except the meta data object.
But why do I get such an error after sixth call of the function (but not beginning from the second table )?

Gül,
Have you tried doing some grbage collection?

Creating user defined table in SBO-COMMON

Hello experts,
I'd like to create a user defined table in SBO-COMMON. I'll tell you why:
I have successfully created a SAP B1 addon which adds freight costs to an order if the total amount is under a certain threshold. We have 2 administrations running, a live one and a test administration. We have put the connectionstring to determine the expense code of the freight costs in the exe.config-file of the addon.
We want to be able to point the addon from one administration to the other by modifying only one value, a centralized value, independent of SAP administration. The most proper way to do that in my opinion is to put it in SBO-COMMON and the only logical way to do that is a user defined table in SBO-COMMON.
Is there such a way?
My alternative is to abuse another database on the server and just add the info there, but I'd prefer to store it in SBO-COMMON.
Thanks for your time!
Vincent

UDT cannot be created in sbo-common. You may create new db and work with table in this db (but it will be not UDT, but standard sql table), or create new company db only for this purposes and create UDT there.

Error while linking user defined table to user defined field using vb6.0

Hi,
I am creating a userdefined field on a SAPB1 table(PDN1) using vb 6.0
I am trying to link this field to a user defined table.
When i do that i get the following error:
"The field 'Related table' should consist of 8 alphanumeric chracters with no valid or default values"
When i try to do the same thing from SAPB1(not using code) there is no such problem.
My vb code is as follows:
Set oUserFieldsMD = oCmp.GetBusinessObject(oUserFields)
oUserFieldsMD.TableName = "PDN1"
oUserFieldsMD.Name = "OB_Locn"
oUserFieldsMD.Description = "WH Location"
oUserFieldsMD.Type = db_Alpha
oUserFieldsMD.EditSize = 30
lRetCode = oUserFieldsMD.Add
If lRetCode <> 0 Then
 oCmp.GetLastError lErrCode, sErrMsg
 MsgBox sErrMsg
 GoTo Err_
End If
If Not oUserFieldsMD.GetByKey("PDN1", 0) Then
 MsgBox "Error"
 GoTo Err_
End If
oUserFieldsMD.LinkedTable = "OB_TEST"
lRetCode = oUserFieldsMD.Update
Your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Great Sébastien!
Looks like we could not survive here one day without your contribution
Best regards,
Frank
PS: For readers of this thread who don't understand why
EditSize
must be "8":
This is the size of the
Code
field in the user-defined table to which the new field OB_Locn (in the DB it will be U_OB_Locn) is linked to...
So, it should be preferrably of the same size.
