Problem by using EXCELL button to export query results

PLS try to assist me. By using this SAP option I got a message saying : "The following template is missing - SAP-SM.XLS" (see the attached file) Our basis people fixed the problem in the development environment The are very responsible people - and they are aware to update the QA and PROD environment with it . It is comfortable SAP option and I am really interested to have it in the Production environment. PLS inform me what can be corrupted and what should be checked to be on the sure side before updating the PROD. Thank You in Advance Sincerely, Ronna

Hi mallorz,
According to your code, a computed column is a virtual column that is not physically stored in the table, unless the column is marked PERSISTED. I recommend you can use a common table expression (CTE) as a temporary result set,
a CTE can be self-referencing and can be referenced multiple times in the same query. You can refer to the following T-SQL statement.
;with cte as(
SELECT ItemID, Price, DiscountAmount,ItemPrice - DiscountAmount AS TotalCost
FROM MyItems )
select * from cte
WHERE TotalCost > 500
ORDER BY TotalCost DESC
Or you can add a new computed column to the existing table, then you can specify an expression for a computed column in T-SQL.
For more information, you can review the article about specify computed columns in a table.

Problem when using About Operator in Contains Query

Hi,
I'm new to Oracle and this forums too. I have a problem when using about operator in contains query.
I create a table with some records and then create a context index on 'name' column.
CREATE TABLE my_items (
id           NUMBER(10)      NOT NULL,
name         VARCHAR2(200)   NOT NULL,
description VARCHAR2(4000) NOT NULL,
price        NUMBER(7,2)     NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE my_items ADD (
CONSTRAINT my_items_pk PRIMARY KEY (id)
CREATE SEQUENCE my_items_seq;
INSERT INTO my_items VALUES(my_items_seq.nextval, 'Car', 'Car description', 1);
INSERT INTO my_items VALUES(my_items_seq.nextval, 'Train', 'Train description', 2);
INSERT INTO my_items VALUES(my_items_seq.nextval, 'Japan', 'Japan description', 3);
INSERT INTO my_items VALUES(my_items_seq.nextval, 'China', 'China description', 4);
COMMIT;
EXEC ctx_ddl.create_preference('english_lexer','basic_lexer');
EXEC ctx_ddl.set_attribute('english_lexer','index_themes','yes');
EXEC ctx_ddl.set_attribute('english_lexer','theme_language','english');
CREATE INDEX my_items_name_idx ON my_items(name) INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT PARAMETERS('lexer english_lexer');
EXEC ctx_ddl.sync_index('my_items_name_idx');Then I perform contains query to retrieve record :
SELECT count(*) FROM my_items WHERE contains(name, 'Japan', 1) > 0;
COUNT(*)
      1
SELECT count(*) FROM my_items WHERE contains(name, 'about(Japan)', 1) > 0;
COUNT(*)
      1But the problem is when I using ABOUT operator like in Oracle's English Knowledge Base Category Hierarchy it return 0
SELECT count(*) FROM my_items WHERE contains(name, 'about(Asia)', 1) > 0;
COUNT(*)
      0
SELECT count(*) FROM my_items WHERE contains(name, 'about(transportation)', 1) > 0;
COUNT(*)
      0I can't figure out what 's wrong in my query or in my index.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello (and welcome),
You'd be best asking this question in the Oracle Text forum, here:
Text
And by the way, it will help others to analyse if you put {noformat}{noformat} (lowercase code in curly brackets) before and after your code snippets.
Good luck!

How do you overcome this problem ?
Thanks in advance for your answer

How to export query results

How can I export query results from sqlplus on the command line? Are there ways to specify the format such as CSV, TAB, XML, etc?
I've seen one approach that involves creating a shell script and piping the output to a file:
#!/bin/sh
sqlplus user/password <<__EOF__
set heading off;
set newpage none;
select f1, ',', f2, ',', f3 from some_table;
__EOF__
Then pipe the output to a file. Is there a simpler solution to this?

Cannot query using both conforming and cached query result

TopLink doesn't allow me to both use conforming and cached query result at the same time.
Conforming is certainly not a superset of the [cached query result] features.
Can you confirm that it's a limitation of TopLink?
Any know workaround to end-up with the same features as using both conforming and cached query result?
Conforming is about seeing modifications you do in the same transaction. As a bonus, if you query for one object and specify at least the id as criteria because TopLink will have to check in memory anyway it can avoid going to the database.
But if I do a query like "give me employees hired before now and after 30 days ago" it's about more than one objects and about finding existance so cached query result is needed to get acceptable performance in a complex application trying to avoid the same SQL generated over and over again.

Thats where the trace just ends? It doesnt look like there's any LIKE or filtering going on (with respect to the Oracle pieces anyway), apparently MSAccess simply requested the whole table.
What do you mean by 'hang' exactly? Are you sure it's just not taking a long time to complete? How long have you waited? How fast does it complete on the other environment?
ODBC tracing isnt likely to help much for that. SQLNet tracing would be better to see what is going on at a lower level. Specifically, what is going on at the network level? Is the client waiting for a packet to be returned from the database?
Is the database having a hard time processing the query, perhaps due to index/tuning issues?
Assuming that is indeed the query that is "hung", how much data does that return?
Are you able to reproduce the same behavior with that query and vbscript for example?

Problems exporting query results to Excel

Hi!
I hope you can help me
We have a web template that uses the class ZVIG_ART that we created in the transaction SE24, this class display some label in the query
results, the problem is when we export this report to excel the label disappear. The numbers indicates the stock of the item and the label N/V indicates that the item is not in the store's catalog. Another case is that we can have N/V items but with stock, for example the ITEM2 of the STORE3 with the label N/V-1piece. How can we export this label to EXCEL?
           | STORE1     |    STORE2   | STORE3
ITEM1      | 10 PIECES |    N/V      | 20 PIECES
ITEM2      | 11         |    20       | N/V-1PIECE
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Mari,
Thanks for the reply.
I can understand the resason for not being able to change the Posting Date. But what are the reasons for not being able to change the Document Date? What is the fiscal reason for not being able to change the Document Date? Please provide an example. Reversing the document doesn't work in this case as the SQ01 report would still include the incorrect date.

Export query result to csv using Export Wizard

Been a decade since I last used Oracle and related tools.
I had to use Oracle server again, I have a query over multiple tables, I am to run a scheduled script that will spit out the query result as a csv file.
I started with SQL Developer Export wizard, in step "Specify Data", I am at a loss, where to specify the query itself? I see a Name,Schema,Type input, a text area below, Up,UpAll,Down,DownAll buttons etc etc. Where do I specify my query here? Can someone please help?
Is this the best way to go about to schedule a data export (query to csv) daily?

To export a user query rather than a whole table, run it in a worksheet and export using the context menu on the result grid. However none can be scheduled.
Instead you can look at the SPOOL command and schedule it through SQL*Plus. Any questions can go to the iSQL*Plus and/or SQL And PL/SQL forum.
Have fun,
K.

Using command button to select query - WAD 7.0

Hello all
Can anyone please tell me how to configure a command button (button group) to display a particular query in WAD 7.0?
Here's what I mean -
I have a web template with three queries. I have inserted 3 command buttons on the template. I want to assign one button to one query, so that the users can select which of the three they want to view. Which Command do I select in the command wizard to do this? Also, is it possible to hide the other two queries, when one is selected?
Thanks
Karen

Hi,
Here is one approach - Keep three analysis items in the WT. Assign three different data providers to all three analysis items. If you do not want to show any query when the WT first loads, don't assign any query to the data providers. When a button is pushed, you can use the command SET_DATA_PROVIDER_PARAMATERS to assign a query to a DP so that that query will show up.
Other commands that will help you would be SET_ITEM_PARAMETERS using which you can hide analysis items and also, you can use the command BACK_TO_INITIAL_DP_STATE on data providers so that they do not show up if they were blank at the start.
Another way to hide a query is to assign the analysis item to a data provider which is blank.
For your requirements, you will have to put multiple commands behind each button - you can decide which of the above commands suit you best.

Export query result to txt file

Hello,
I'm trying to export a query result to txt file but I facing some problems.
I'm using the comand below:
set echo off newpage 0 space 0 pagesize 0 feed off head off trimspool on
set colsep ,
spool C:\estados.txt
select id_estado,cod_estado,nme_estado from tb_estado;
spool off
First problem: My select statement is being writen on my estados.txt
Second problem: The results are being writen with a lot of blank spaces in start of line, for example, instead of write "1,AC,Acre" the line is write as " 1,AC,Acre".
Third problem: The "spool off" statement is being written on my estados.txt
How could I solve it?
Thanks

1. Works here - what version of SQL*PLUS are you using?
2. If you want to prevent spaces, you have to write your SELECT like this:
select id_estado || ',' || cod_estado || ',' || nme_estado from tb_estado;Note: not tested.
3. See 1.

Export query results to flat file with dynamic filename

Hi
Can anybody can point me how to dynamic export query serults set to for example txt file using process flows in OWB.
Let say I have simple select query
select * from table1 where daterange >= sysdate -1 and daterange < sysdate
so query results will be different every day because daterange will be different. Also I would like to name txt file dynamicly as well
eg. results_20090601.txt, results_20090602.txt, results_20090603.txt
I cant see any activity in process editor to enter custom sql statment, like it is in MSSQL 2000 or 2005
thanks in advance

You can call existing procedures from a process flow the procedure can create the filename with whatever name you desire. OWB maps with file as target can also create a file with a dynamic name defined by an expression (see here ).
Cheers

2.1.0.62: Exporting query results does not work if SQL has a join

I get an error message, when I try to export the following test case to any data format.
create table test1 (id number(2), text varchar2(5));
create table test2 (id number(2), text varchar2(5));
insert into test1 values (1,'test');
insert into test2 values (1,'test');
select t1.*
from
test1 t1,
test2 t2
where
t1.id=t2.id;
I try to translate my german error message to english:
"There are no valid columns for export available. Clob- or Blob-Columns are currently not supported"
I get this message, when I right click into the query result grid and select export and then any data format.
Hope that is not a double post but searching for export did not find results for 2.1.
The following SQL also produces the error:
select t1.* from test1 t1;
These SQLs can be exported though:
select * from test1 t1;
select t1.id from test1 t1;
I should have mentioned that I work with Windows XP and Oracle 10.2.0.4.

Hi,
Dhalek.
I've got the same problem here.
In my SQL Dev, I disabled the Autopopup code completion insight in SQL Worksheet. (Tools - Preferences - Code Editor - Code Completion - untick the checkbox). Restart SQL Dev. Tried to export a query.
The same error message appears.
My workaround is to re-enable the autopopup and restart SQL Dev.
The disabled autopopup code completion insight caused me these

Export query results into .csv file?

Hello I have a T-SQL script that gets row counts for a specified date range and then needs to loop (by incrementing +1 day to get the next day's counts) for a large date range. I'm aiming to output & append each query results day counts
into a .csv file via a SQL Agent job since this will take quite a while to complete.
Would using the following as an example template...
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0','Text;Database=D:\;HDR=YES;FMT=Delimited','SELECT * FROM [FileName.csv]')
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3
FROM DatabaseName
...be the method or something else?
If this is good to use I've tried running this but get the following error:
Msg 7357, Level 16, State 2, Line 76
Cannot process the object "SELECT * FROM [FileName.csv]". The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)" indicates that either the object has no columns or the current user does not have permissions
on that object.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Techresearch7777777,
The error in your post says that the file FileName.csv has to be created with the column names in the first row. Like:
Field1,Field2,Field3
Either you can create a schema.ini file under the same folder:
[FileName.csv]
Format=CSVDelimited
ColNameHeader=False
Col1=Field1 [DataType]
Col2=Field2 [DataType]
Col3=Field3 [DataType]
For the [DataType],you can reference
Schema.ini File (Text File Driver)
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.
