Query Builder and 8i

Is it possible to use Query Builder with 8i?
I installed it but was unable to connect to the starter database installed with 8i.
I installed the Query Builder(and Project Builder) into a different directory from the 8i install.
When QB starts, it asks for the name, PW, and connection. I enter the N and PW and the instance of the 8i DB but it comes back with a transport error.
1. Is Q Builder compatible with 8i?
2. Is there a document describing how to set them up to work together?
Thank you very much,

Query Builder and Expanded Form in Search

I've changed the labels of some metadata fields like content type. In the expanded form it shows OK, but in the query builder drop down it's still content type. How can I change it?
tnx in advance

Hi, where did you make the change of label?
I use rules, so the way I do it (and it shows for both query builder and extended search) is by putting the value in the "use custom label" when I edit my rule.

QueryString issues with Query Builder and Search Box

Hi Guys,
I've got the following scenario (Issues are bolded for quicker reading):
I have a search results pages named results.aspx
I have a page, named messages.aspx, with a webpart that display messages from a specific folder (which can be changed in the webpart properties). On that page, there's a search box which will lead to results.aspx, and will do search only on the specific
folder.
On the other hand, when I'm using Content Search Web Part, I can use the query builder to do the following:
ParentLink:{QueryString.folder}
So all I have left to do is to send the folder as a query string parameter from messages.aspx to results.aspx.
(1) The search box doesn't support sending other QueryString parameters,
which is also known to happen in previous SP versions, so I fixed the onclick events and voila, the folder parameter is transferred to results.aspx.
But something weird happens in results.aspx:
When I'm first redirected from messagses.aspx to results.aspx I get the follwing URL:
/Pages/results.aspx?k=Washington&folder=Home - I've got results
When another query is issued from the search box of results.aspx I'm getting the folliwing URL:
/Pages/results.aspx?k=Washington&folder=Home#k=Indiana - I've got NO results.
Same with paging:
/Pages/results.aspx?k=Washington&folder=Home#s=11
(2) When a QueryString parameter is present in the results.aspx page, and than another query (different keywords, paging or anything) is issued using AJAX and hashtags - no results are returned.
My guess is a client side issue: When the a new query is issued, adding a hashtag (#) to the URL, it ignores the QueryString parameter currently present in the URL, and thus the server doesn't recieve it in the query packet/http post xml, which creates a
valid query with no results, in my case: ParentLink:"", which I manually checked and does yield no results.
I've also tried the following with no help:
/Pages/results.aspx#k=Washington#folder=Home - no results. my guess is that folder is now not a QueryString
/Pages/results.aspx?folder=Home#k=Washington - No results.
/Pages/results.aspx#k=Washington&folder=Home - The query text issued was "Washington&folder=Home" - no results of course.
Any ideas any one?
Amir

Hi Amir,
after some months I found a workaround that solves this issue: just add & after your query string value, it will separate your parameter value from other strings that may be added by sharepoint controls.
ie:
if your page is http://spsite/page.aspx?param=value
just call it like this http://spsite/page.aspx?param=value&
It works!
Ciao

Clarifications about Query Builder and Additional Default Layout in Reports 6i

1) Is Query Builder re-entrant in Reports 6i? If yes, what is the method. As when I tried to re-eter, it gave me message '..... Syntax Error'.
2) IN 'ADDITIONAL Default Layout', Reports 6i does not allow group field to be
included in 'the fields to be printed' list. It allows but in next tab it omits that group field.
As a result no repeating frame for the Group is generated in the 'ADDITIONAL Default Layout'.
What is wrong?
Pl. guide.
Tariq

2) IN 'ADDITIONAL Default Layout', Reports 6i does not allow group
field to be included in 'the fields to be printed' list. It allows
but in next tab it omits that group field.
As a result no repeating frame for the Group is generated in >the 'ADDITIONAL Default Layout'. Not sure I fully understand the question but you seem to be saying that if you select a field in the ADL tool, it doesn't show up in the layout. This can only happen if you select a field in the "Fields" tab from a group you haven't selected in the "Groups" tab.
Ideally Reports shouldn't show these fields since you haven't selected the groups. Unfortunately it does and you need to ensure all the appropriate groups have been selected in the "Groups" tab.
At least it will tell you if you have selected a group but haven't selected any fields for the group or if you haven't selected enough groups for the type of layout you're trying to create.

Query builder and multiple linked tables...

Hi all,
I have a database with a large table (50+ fields) and lots of tables (at
least 10 tables) linked to the bigger one.
I can link 7 or 8 tables using Query builder but after that, it gets slow
and slower.
I can't link other tables since it appear to hang.
How can I solve this?
Here is a sample of the large table (articles):
- id_art
- code_art
- material_id_art (fk)
- color_id_art (fk)
- finishing_id_art /fk)
- and so on... with other fields set as foreign keys.
The color table is:
- id_col
- colid_col
- name_col
- language_col
The table view is:
id_col colid_col name_col language_col
1 1 rosso it
2 1 red uk
3 1 rojo es
The other tables follow the same color table specification.
I would like to obtain all articles with color_id_art field equal to the
color.colid_col field AND color.language_col equal to a session variable
(language). This session variable contains 'it', 'uk', or 'es', depending
on user selection on other pages.
I can use query builder to do something similar with few tables but when
the linked tables are 10 or more the query builder began to slow down too
much and is totally unusable.
Is there a way to create such a query manually?
I'm not a SQl programmer so, I have not all the knowledge to do this.
Can anyone point me in the right direction or point me to some tutorial
about such a problem?
I thank you in advance.
tony

Ciao Tony,
Well, the main table is 4000+ records
I´ve heard of other users having similar issues with this (or more) amount of data, what´s not surprising, because every time you´re making a change to your query, the Query Builder tries to refresh the browser
I think that the problem is related to too much inner joins and too many WHERE clauses with AND condition
maybe this might add to the problem, but I´m pretty convinced that the major bottleneck is the substantial amount of records your main table has.
Günter, can I ask you how would you manage a multilingual product catalog where the main table (products) has lots of linked details tables (color, finishing, structure...) to be translated on a number of languages?
this is indeed a little tricky by nature, however I think that storing e.g. all the international color names in a table is too complicated, when you could simply...
a) check the currently running language session variable
b) define a PHP if/else condition which will "virtually" translate the stored "id_col" values, example:
if ($_session['language'] == "uk") {
$pattern = array("1", "2", "3", "4");
$replace = array("red", "blue", "black"', "green");
$colors = str_replace($pattern, $replace, $row_queryname['columnname']);
else {
$pattern = array("1", "2", "3", "4");
$replace = array("rosso", "blu", "nero"', "verde");
$colors = str_replace($pattern, $replace, $row_queryname['columnname']);
3. later in your page "echo" the alias variable $colors, which should return different results depending on the currently active language session variable

Query Builder and SQL-Developer

Hello everyone,
My proposal is to customize SQL-Developer (via Tools > Preferences ...) so that the end user can use it without danger for the data.
Example: the end user can only create reports, without possibility of drop, update, delete, etc.
The paragraph “Query Builder” of the article “ [Building Queries Visually|http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/08-mar/o28sql.html] ” (Oramag march/april 2008, page 59) inspired this question.
Please, vote for this proposal!
Thank you
Jean-Louis

I overlayed the pre-release versionsDo you mean you installed in the same directory?
Don't do that.
There's a system directory (sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\system) which holds settings and everything, which very well might be corrupted to be used for a newer release.
Try deleting it, it will be regenerated at next startup. Or even better: re-install in another directory all together...

Enhancement Request - Query Builder and Synonyms

My APEX instance is not the same one as some of the data we need to access. Is it possible to allow the query builder to see Synonyms as well as tables and views?

I'd echo that, though it'd be even better if it only showed synonyms for tables and views...but then you have to answer the question of how far down the rabbit hole you want to go (what about synonyms of synonyms of tables, etc.?)
For now, at least, you can always create a view, rather than a synonym.

How to add a new field in Query Builder or Report

Hi,
I am writing a report using Oracle 6i query builder and report.
example:
QTY_1 QTY_2 QTY_3
QTY_1 and QTY_2 are table fields and QTY_3 Is not. I need to show the value of (QTY_2-QTY_1) in QTY_3.
I need to create a field QTY_3 which is not in the database table. How do I do that?
Jun

Hi,
Try using formula to return the qty_1 - qty2.
or
select qty_1, qty_2, (qty_1 - qty_2) qty_3
from table;

How to specify an outer join in query builder

I've very quickly built a large query with the query builder, and it works fine, but only produces 9 out of 2200 records - so I need to change it to an outer join.
My problem is that I can't seem to find a way to specify an outer join. I've tried editing the query that query builder formed, but it won't let me.
I know I can capture the query, edit it and run it in sql developer, and that works fine, but I want to use query builder as it is the fastest way I know of to quickly add and remove items - my users are unsure of exactly what to include.
I know it is kind of a trivial question, but i've searched the forum, the manual, the web and no luck
Thanks for any help you can give
Glenn

Hi Glenn,
When you use the Query Builder to create the sql statement, you should click on the empty square to the right of the fields on each table to create the join. When you've done this, you should see a line drawn between the two tables. Click on this line and a small popup appears allowing you to select inner, left outer or right outer joins.
Once the report has been created, though, you need to edit the statement. For example, if you use the Query Builder to join DEPT to EMP based on the DEPTNO field on both tables, you get:
select      "DEPT"."DEPTNO" as "DEPTNO",
      "DEPT"."DNAME" as "DNAME",
      "DEPT"."LOC" as "LOC",
      "EMP"."EMPNO" as "EMPNO",
      "EMP"."ENAME" as "ENAME",
      "EMP"."JOB" as "JOB",
      "EMP"."MGR" as "MGR",
      "EMP"."HIREDATE" as "HIREDATE"
from      "EMP" "EMP",
      "DEPT" "DEPT"
where   "DEPT"."DEPTNO"="EMP"."DEPTNO"Change this to:
select      "DEPT"."DEPTNO" as "DEPTNO",
      "DEPT"."DNAME" as "DNAME",
      "DEPT"."LOC" as "LOC",
      "EMP"."EMPNO" as "EMPNO",
      "EMP"."ENAME" as "ENAME",
      "EMP"."JOB" as "JOB",
      "EMP"."MGR" as "MGR",
      "EMP"."HIREDATE" as "HIREDATE"
from      "EMP" "EMP"
      LEFT OUTER JOIN "DEPT" "DEPT" ON "DEPT"."DEPTNO"="EMP"."DEPTNO"Andy

Multiple schemas in query builder

Hi,
I have seen variations of this question returning a couple of times in the forum, but no answer has come forward so far. So let's try again...
In APEX 4.1 (maybe also in earlier versions) there is a drop-down at the top-right of the query-builder tool to select a different schema.
The problem is, that it only shows the "parsing" schema. So the user the workspace is associated with.
I have taken all of the following steps, that i would expect to make the other schemas show up:
- associate my second scheme, SCHEMA_2, to the workspace SPACE_1
- grant the "parsing" schema, SCHEMA_1, select access to all objects in SCHEMA_2
And I have tested the following things:
- in "SQL Commands" run a query that selects objects from SCHEMA_2, using "select * from SCHEMA_2.TEST_TABLE;". This works
- in query builder, select the "SQL" option and insert the same query and click "run". Results in "Please enter a valid query to see results"
- create an application with a "SQL report" page, and insert the same query. Results in "Query cannot be parsed, please check the syntax of your query. (ORA-00942: table or view does not exist)"
My toughts on this issue:
- A different user is used in query builder and the application builder?
- the "SQL commands" uses the "parsing" schema, as expected
So, what's wrong?

Is using more then one schema in the query builder such an uncommon requirement?
Or did this message pass by unnoticed?

Results in Query Builder Differ From Report Results

I've got a report I built in SSRS using an SSAS dataset. The problem is that the results differ between the query builder result set and the actual report. For some reason, when running the actual report, certain rows are being filtered out, but yet those
same rows appear in the result set when validating the query in the query builder.
Here's the result set as it appears in query builder:
...and here are the results of the actual report:
As you can see, 3M and Angie's popcorn are not returned in the report. I have no filters defined on the report at all.
This appears to be happening with other result sets for the same report.
No idea why the results are accurate in query builder and then off in the actual report.
Any help would be appreciated!
A. M. Robinson

Hi A. M. Robinson,
The issue may be caused by the data cache. When we preview a report, the report processor runs all the queries for datasets in the report using the current parameter defaults, and saves the results as a local data cache (.rdl.data) file. We can continue
to design our report without incurring the overhead of retrieving this data again if we make no changes to either the report dataset queries or the report parameters. Please to delete the cache (.rdl.data) file try to solve the issue.
Reference: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157366.aspx
Alternative, you can create a similar report to check if the issue is persist.
If the issue is persist, could you please post more detail information about your report design? It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

Query Builder in Business Object Edge 3.1

Greeting,
When I was using Crystal Vision Server 11.5, I can use the Query Builder to get metadata for objects stored in the repository. Now we moved to BO XI Edge 3.1 with WACS. I click on the click for Query Build and the system said the link is broken. I read SAP note "1206301 - How to access the query builder in XI 3.x ", but it is only for Java / Apache server.
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi Leo,
It is my understanding that Query Builder, QAAWS and Live Office are Java based, and therefore only work with Tomcat and not WACS. Unless something has changed, you will have to uninstall and reinstall BO with Tomcat in order to use those tools.
Thanks

Can Execute Report But Fails in Query Builder

I'm running into an odd issue...
I've inherited a report that was built using Visual Studio. It's going against an Analysis Services cube and the query is in MDX.
For some reason, when I view the query in Query Builder and attempt to execute the query, it throws an error. I then cancel out of Query Builder and cancel any changes. Now if I actually run the report, it runs just fine. Users have verified that the results
are correct.
I've never seen this before! I've attached the query and the error message:

Query builder bug in outer joins ?

I understood that if you were joining two tables A and B, the following was a
LEFT OUTER JOIN
SELECT A.COL, B.COL
FROM A, B
WHERE A.ID = B.ID (+)
ie: a LEFT outer join has the (+) on the Right-hand table.
However, query builder puts the (+) on the Left-hand table.
Same for a RIGHT outer join - I think the (+) should be on the Left-hand table, but query builder puts it on the Right-hand table.
Cheers,
Andrew
(running Version 2.1.0.00.39)

Hi Andrew,
I just played a little with the query builder and created a join between two of my tables:
PROJECTS and ACTIVITIES, linked via KCC.
When I create a left outer join in query builder, I get the following result:
select     "PROJECTS"."KCC" as "KCC"
from     "ACTIVITIES" "ACTIVITIES",
     "PROJECTS" "PROJECTS"
where "PROJECTS"."KCC"(+) ="ACTIVITIES"."KCC"
Which is correct: Left refers to the first table in the from clause (ACTIVITIES) and places the (+) on the other table!
Left and right refers to the order of tables in the from clause, not in the where clause. Query builder sorts the tables in FROM alphabetically, maybe this is differing from the graphical order in query builder.

Alex
