Query builder no tables

Hi,
I am using the trial of query builder. It loads, but has no connection to the database, so there are no tables. I have no trouble creating a record set the regular way, so I think there is no problem with my connection.
Any ideas appreciated.
thanks, Shelly

Well - many hours later:
Twice in 40 or 50 tries, the query editor opened with tables in it. I tried to figure out why it worked those 2 times and had prepared a long message explaining the possibilites. I had been messing with security settings in IE, rebooting, etc. But then it ocurred to me to open an old project with just a few tables, and it worked perfectly.
So you asked how many tables. 73 in the database that doesn't work. Assuming that is the problem, do you know how many is okay? Please let me know.
thanks, Shelly

  • Version 3.0.04: Query builder shows tables minimized

    When we save a SQL statement, and then re-open that file, the view of the SQL from the Query Builder tab shows the tables as "rolled-up", such that, you can only see the table name and the selection box which allows you to pull in all columns from that table. If you drag the bottom edge of the table downward, it just creates an empty box.
    You can copy & paste the SQL into a fresh editor window & keep working. So there's a workaround. Unless someone knows how to make the individual columns re-appear in the original Query Builder window?
    Thanks,

    Hi Chuck -
    I'[m assuming the query(ies) in question are of the form "select *". The Query Builder relies on a connection to the database to get the meta data about fields for the tables. Opening the file, then choosing the appropriate database in the connection drop-down at the right, then switching to Query Builder will show the fields.
    (Note that in the current version you must use that order [open, database, query Builder] (or after selecting database, go to worksheet & make a dummy edit [for example, erase/replace something] then switch back to Query Builder. This has been fixed for the next release.)

  • Query Builder - How to create a link between tables with many fields?

    I have many fields in my tables. When the query builder loads the tables, the tables are expanded to accomodate all the fields. Suppose I want to link Table A's Customer ID (the first field in Table A) wiith Table B's Customer ID (the last field in Table B). How can I do that if the last field in Table B are not visible in the screen?
    Currently, I create a link in Table A's customer with a random field in Table B. Then I edit the link to create a proper condition. Is there a more efficient way to do this?
    Thanks.

    Hi woro2006 -
    Easiest way is to grab Table A's title bar & drag Table A down the page until the columns you want to link are visible.
    FYI, there is an outstanding bug
    Bug 10215339: 30EA1: MISSING THE 2.1 RIGHT CLICK OPTIONS ON DATA FIELDS TO CREATE A LINK
    to add a context menu on the field for this. That is, Link {context field} to > {other data sources} > {fields from that source}
    It is being considered for 3.1, but I have no idea where it will end up in the priority queue.

    P.S.: Arghh, Unfortunately, I just tried it and the diagram does not auto scroll while you drag, so there is some guess work/repositioning the view involved.

  • Tables not in Query Builder table list bug?

    In HTML DB version 1.6.0.00.87 we have tables defined in our schema in our workspace. When we create a view and click on the [Query Builder] link, no tables are in the drop down list for our schema. Why? The schema is there. I can go into the SQL Workshop and query the records our of the tables, but they are not listed in the [Query Builder].
    I tried this same function but with my workspace at htmldb.oracle.com. The tables in my schema are listed there.
    Is this a bug that was fixed in version 1.6.1.00.02?

    There is one schema assigned to the workspace. That schema is listed in the pop-up window. Here are the steps I am doing:
    1.) Click on SQL Workshop
    2.) Click on Create Object
    3.) Click on View
    4.) The correct schema is listed in the Schema field. There is only one schema in the drop-down list for the Schema field.
    5.) Click on [Query Builder]. A separate browser window appears with the correct schema. There is only one value in the drop-down list for the schema. "- Select Table -" is in the TABLE field.
    6.) I click on the TABLE field to get a list of tables for the schema. Only "- Select Table -" is listed. No other tables are listed.
    I can cancel the Create View and return to the main page of the SQL Workshop. I can click on Tables to see what table are available. I select the correct SCHEMA and see the list of tables.
    I tried this in the same version of HTML DB (v 1.6.0.00.87) in a different database ie. a different HTML DB repository and received the same results, missing tables in the pop-up page
    I do not know why the tables do not list in the [Query Builder] for the Create View.

  • 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
    Cheers,

  • Query Builder - Find WEBI reports that are using a table

    I am trying to find list of WEBI reports using a specific table. This specific table is used in only 1 universe.
    Though I could successfully find list of reports that use this universe, I am unable to find drill down further and find the subset of reports using this table/object.
    SELECT si_name, SI_KIND, si_id, SI_PARENTID,SI_AUTHOR,SI_OWNER FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS, CI_APPOBJECTS
    WHERE PARENTS("SI_NAME='WEBI-UNIVERSE'","SI_NAME ='MyUniverse'")
    Is it possible to find the information I am looking for using query builder.
    Also, for a given WEBI report I am trying to find the list of report names and the folder they reside in:
    Select SI_NAME, SI_ID, SI_PATH, SI_KIND, SI_OWNER From CI_INFOOBJECTS, CI_APPOBJECTS WHERE
    PARENTS("SI_NAME='Folder Hierarchy'",
    "PARENTS('SI_NAME=''WEBI-UNIVERSE'' ', 'SI_NAME=''MyUniverse'' ')" )
    The above query just gives me the folder names. I am looking to find the report names as well the the folder (and preferably the path) in a single query. Is that possible.

    Sri,
    With respect to your 1st requirement:
    In BusinessObjects 6.5 it was possible. However, post BOXIR2 this information could not be retrieved from CMS via query builder.  I agree with Jorge Sosua's comment above.
    With respect to your 2nd requirement:
    The field 'SI_PATH' will retrieve Filestore path(physical path). If you were referring logical path(Public folder path or psuedo-reference path) will you please refer my respone to Kelly Stone at BusinessObjects Query builder queries - Part II , If this may assist you.

  • Query Builder doesnt load the tables. Schema not loaded

    Hi all,
    One small issue i am facing.. I have made a connection to Oracle db using the user id given by my DBA.
    But when I try to open the query builder it doesnt load any tables.. cant see any tables.
    Findings:
    If on toad i run a query
    select * from table it returns me noting.
    But if i run it with SIEBEL
    Select * from SIEBEL.table it returns result.
    just prefixing it with SIEBEL gives me the result.
    Do i need to ask the DBA to give my user id the access to run queries without prefixing SIEBEL... what exactly shld i ask him to do
    OR is something we can do at the publisher end itself so that it strt loading required tables avalable for my user id?
    thanks a lot!!
    Dev

    From your description I'd conclude that your DBA has provided you database access via a user ID (schema), let's say USER1. If you have registered this database as JDBC / JNDI data source using this particular user, then you will always need to prefix your table names with 'SIEBEL.' as the database objects are stored in the SIEBEL schema, and not in the USER1 schema.
    You may question your DBA about the feasibility of setting up a logon trigger on the USER1 account so that it automatically switches the current schema to the SIEBEL one.
    alter session set current_schema = <your_schema_name>;
    Something similar was discussed in the following thread:
    how to switch schema in a logon trigger when in 3-tier (how to define case)

  • Query Builder Table Limit

    What is the limit on the number of tables that Query Builder can display? I am new to BI Publisher and when I connect to my datasource and select my schema I get the message "The list of tables is too long." There are about 80 tables in the selected schema.
    We will have some developers working on our project who are not familiar with this applications schemas and would like to know what the limit is so we can understand how big a problem it will be for us and whether we should use something other than Query Builder to write our queries.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    I get the same message.I connected to the Apps database and the connection was successful.
    I would retrieve tables from schema which has 60 tables in it.For others even when I enter the first few letters in the serach entry field they cannot be retrived.
    I installed the BI Publisher 10.1.3.3.2 for Windows x86 (703 MB) on my local machine and I'm using http://wal1cd231.cis.concentra.corp:9704/xmlpserver/
    to login into BI publisher enterprise using the administrator credentials provided when installed.
    Any solution???

  • Query Builder - Tables not Appearing

    Hi, I am encountering a problem when trying to use Query Builder.
    If I have a table that is joined to by more than one other object and wish to drag TWO instances of this table into Query Builder, it will not allow it to happen. It doesn't give any error message, just at the end of the drag operation, nothing appears.
    I've now tried it with a blank canvas and just tried to drag two instances of any table there. It will just not allow the second one to appear.
    I am using SQLDeveloper in the following environmeny
    OS Name Windows XP (version 5.1)
    java version 1.5.0_05
    java.vm.version 1.5.0_05-b05
    SQLDeveloper version 1.1.2.25
    and am connecting to a local version of Oracle Database XE.
    Am I doing something wrong or is this a known problem?
    Chloe

    Thanks. I've requested it as a missing feature, but it seems odd that this functionality is not already there. Using the ubiquitous EMPLOYEE table that all good examples seem to use, you would not even be able to join this table to itself to get the details of managers of employees.
    That's why I wondered if it was a bug on my laptop first.
    I have taken your advice and created views of the tables I need to have multiple joins to as a workround for now, but I may end up with multiple views of the same table which could get unwieldy.
    Thanks again though. :-)

  • Query builder: tables from Database Link

    Hi APEX people,
    Is there a way to use tables from a (remote) Database Link in the Query Builder?
    In the Query Builder I seem to have only access to locally (schema) stored tables.
    I already tried to define a Synonym for the remote tables I wanted to use, but that didn't work either.
    Thanks in advance.
    Maurice

    Hi,
    First of all, can you select from them ie
    SELECT  *
    FROM my_table@my_linkAlso you can't see them as tables in the schema because they're not tables in the schema.
    Try creating a view like...
    CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW m_table_vw AS
    SELECT *
    FROM my_table@my_link;You should be able to see the view in the schema in the query builder and use that.
    Cheers

    Hi Hema,
    First of all you have to make sure that you had given the correct data source in JDBC Connecction.
    When the work is in progressand we click on Backspace button then we will get the page as greyed.Make sure that you have to wait for a while after saving the report and never use the Backspace button.

  • Query builder; list of tables

    Hello,
    We use BOXIr2. I would like to use query builder to look up some things. But I don't have information about the (system) tables I can query on. I know one of them:  CI_INFOOBJECTS.
    Is there any documentation about these tables?
    Lia

    Thanks this was very helpful. I don't think I would have found this myself.
    Still, I can't find any helpful queries using query builder. I need an overview of all scheduled jobs which are recurrend. So I know which jobs are scheduled on a regular basis.

  • Can I turn off Autofit for tables in Query Builder?

    Using SQL Developer 3.2.20 and tabbing between the Query Builder and Worksheet always Autofits the height of the tables. Since the tables I'm using are in Enterprise Business Suite they have hundreds of rows making the graphical reprentation almost useless without resizing the table objects.
    Is there any way to turn off this "feature"?
    I am a new user of Query Developer and am using version 3.2.20.09.
    I copied in a sql statement, clicked the query builder tab, visualized my sql statements and resized all the objects so they were viewable. Then when I click on the Worksheet tab and then click on the Query builder tab again all my objects are autofit to the height of the table and it takes about 15 minutes to size them again so I can see all the joins in the gui display - which is the point of the graphical interface.
    Edited by: 969018 on Nov 1, 2012 2:13 PM

    Thank you for confirming what I suspected.
    If there was a workaround that allowed under the View menu to resize all objects to fit the current window, that would be an acceptable choice. It would seem if the box can be drawn to the maximum size that shows all the columns in the table, then maybe an easy override would be draw the table showing only one column??
    Do you work on the development team for SQL Developer?
    Another idea would be to be able to zoom out so the resizing of objects would be easier.
    Unfortunately your good suggestion of starting with Query Builder and finishing up requires more skill than I posses when working with many tables. I find it necessary to go back to the visual representation to understand all of my joins when I get many tables and then have a problem with my query. If only I could write it correct the first time.
