Query/Looping Problem

I have a database table with columns as follows.
racerID
race1
race2
race3
race4
race5
race30
totalScore
I do my query as follows:
SELECT *
FROM races
WHERE racerID = URLVar
I want so loop through the query results to list the points
by race... my problem is that they are all in one record...
I tried these:
<cfloop index="i" from="1" to ="30">
<p>#races.race#i##</p>
</cfloop>
I also tried using square brackets around i at the end of
races.race...
How can i reverence a field name using i?
All help is appreciated. I have had this problem on more than
one site i have done and i have always just broke down and typed
all the code out for each field, but there has to be an easier
way.

Just from what you have listed, this seems to be a bad data
model design. What happens if you add another race? You would have
to add another column to your table. You might consider having a
racer table, with all of the attributes associated with a racer, a
race table with all of the attributes associated with a race, then
an "associative entity" (link table) to link race with racer. This
race_racer table would have the ID for the racer, and the ID for a
given race, and the points for that race and racer so that you
could find race info for any particular racer of race by joining
these tables. Then it would be a snap to list the points by race or
racer using SQL and not having to use outside loops, etc. In other
words, normalize your data.

Hi Vishal,
the value '70302/20307' is not an whole number so converting it to an int is not possible.
You should check your data for this value an change your query or data.

Query designing problem while applying cell properties

Hello Experts,
I have a problem while designing query. Problem is as follow:
I have a calculated field on key figure column. This key figure calculates variance between 2 columns.
for E.g I have 2 columns Budget and Actual and third column is %Variance which should be
1. ((Actual - Budget)/Budget) *100 or
2. ((Budget -Actual)/Budget)*100, depening on some values on the row i should use any of these 2 formulas but the result should be dispalyed in single column % Variance.
how can i change the formula in key figures depending on these conditions. I can achieve this by applying cells but i dont want to do so as it is very complex way to desing these queries.
also let me know applying cells on query affects its performance or not?

Hi Nitin,
Your reply may help me.
But my exact requirement is not that. Requirement is as follow:
I have created Char. Structure in row which contains few rows as revenue and few rows as expense.
I created them by creating selections. Now in case of expense the variance should be (Budget-Actual)/Budget *100.
In case of revenue variance should be (Actual-Budget)/Budget *100.
So, here i have to find out revenue & expense char. iresspective of which one is greater.

Not the usual 'login loop' problem, help.

The login loop problem I'm facing is not the usual login loop problem when starting up mac; it's when I'm trying to log into websites or applications (most of them, eg. facebook, instagram).
I have tried:
using other browsers: Safari, Firefox, Maxthon, Chrome
clearing all cookies / caches / keychains / passwords
repairing disk
deleting launchservices cache
using other userid to login
All to no avail.
How do I solve this without having to reformat/install mac?
Thank you.

That loop will loop until readLine() returns null, which will only happen when the other end closes its end of the connection, and it will block while no data is available.

Nested query loops

If you have nested query loops (<cfloop
query="qA"><cfloop query="qB"> qA vars in here
</cfloop></cfloop>), is it possible to carry the vars
from qA into the qB loop.
Not sure if this makes sense, but any time i have nested
query loops, i can't access the outer loops vars.

Use a different index variable for each loop. Use complete
syntax, ie queryname.fieldname[rownumber] for each query
variable.

Failure to search - query window problem

Hello again,
Have anyone of you came across a problem with SAP search mechanism in query window attached to document field? I've created a simple query of "Select acctcode,acctname from OACT where acctcode like '2%' and postable='Y' order by acctcode" and attached it to one of document fields (doesn't matter which one). When I run this query a usual window poped up with a search field on the top, but when I typed "2" in it, selection bar moved right into first 231 account ignoring any of the lesser numbers. There is more - when I changed query to search for '5%' like accounts, I gained the same result - accounts less than 530 were ignored even if I typed "50" or "51". BUT - when I changed query sort order to "desc", all account became "findable".
I got this problem in one database only which is SAP 8.8 PL10 version upgraded recently from 2007A one. I've checked with a newly created 8.8 and such problem hasn't occured.

Hello Thomasz,
I might be off base here, what happens when you use this???
Do you get the same types of query window problem???
Select
acctcode,
acctname,
segment_0
from OACT
where Segment_0 like '2%'
order by acctcode
for browse

Sony D-50 "boot-up loop" problem

I have a Sony D-50 portable recorder barely three months old that did something totally strange. Has anyone else had this problem?
During a shoot yesterday, I noticed that the Sony D50 I bought back in August would not turn OFF.
When I moved the power switch to the OFF position, the machine went into a "boot up loop," that is:
I'd turn it OFF after recording.
Screen goes black.
I get the "See you!" message.
Screen lights up again.
The word "SONY" appears as though it's gonna boot up,
Then the whole process starts over again
Screen goes black.
I get the "See you!" message.
Screen lights up.
The word "SONY" appears as though it's gonna boot up....
So, same thing late last night.
I get up this morning and turn it ON; it works fine until I turn it off, then it goes back into the "boot loop" thing again.
I tried everything I could think of, even searching for a "RESET" on the machine and in the Menu. I finally had to take the batteries out of it to shut it down.
Then, I did something that apparently---so far---fixed it.
This is so strange---right out of the Twilight Zone:
I put the batteries back in it, then it starts the loop again.
Since it won't turn OFF, I take the batteries out of it in the OFF position. I wait five minutes and put the batteries back in it with it in the OFF position.
Same problem---the "boot up loop" thing.
I take the batteries back out of it again in the OFF position and wait fifteen minutes. I put the batteries back in it while it's still in the OFF position. Guess what?
Problem solved: It's doesn't start the "boot up loop" thing.
So, I turn it back ON. Machine boots up fine and is ready to record.
OK, I turn it OFF.
Back to the exact same problem---It shuts down and goes into the "boot up loop" again.
I go back through the same process of removing and installing the batteries with the machine in the OFF position.
Nothing changes.
Then, I have an idea.
With the machine in the OFF position and going through the "boot up loop" thing, I remove the batteries.
I then move the power switch to the ON position before I put the batteries back in it---had not tried that before: reinstalling the batteries with it in the ON position. I install the batteries with the machine in the ON position.
Machine boots up fine and is ready for recording.
Now, I turn it OFF.
The machine shuts down fine with no "boot up loop" problem.
Putting the batteries back in the machine with it in the ON position instead of the OFF position apparently solved the problem.
So, I turn it back ON and then OFF several times.
Same thing: No "boot up loop" problem.
Do-do-Do-do....
The machine now works fine.
Anyone ever had this happen to a Sony D-50?
I'm wondering if I should send it to back to Sony before it does this again. For God's sake, it's only three months old!
I bought it after rave reviews in the "recorder" community, and I haven't found anyone else who has had this problem with one..

Sorry to see that you were having this issue with your PCM-D50 Linear PCM Recorder - if you continue having the issue the unit may need service - give Sony Business and Professional team a call and they will be happy to assist:

SAP QUERY LOOPS AND INTERNAL TABLE

Hi All, I have a query which i have made. It runs from Table EKPO which has PO details and what I want to do is now via ABAP Code pull through the total of goods receipt for the PO and Line Item into a field. Sounds Easy enough..Problem now,
The table which contains the GR data is EKBE which agains a PO and Line Item can have many 101 movements and 102 movements so what I want is an ABAP Statent to basically sum up the total of 101 for the PO & LINE ITEMS and then minus this from the total of 102 for the PO & LINE ITEMS and post the result in to this new field I have created.
I am pretty decent with ABAP Code in Querys I.e Select statements etc but from what I can see i need to create an internal table and do a loop and collect statement but I keep on failing due to not enough knowledge. Please can some one help me with this and provide me with the code and explanation as i would like to understand,
POINTS WILL BE REWARDED
Thanks

Query Optimization Problem

Hi
I have a optimization problem and wondering if you can help me, The problem is I am getting two diffrent costs for two diffrent users, when I login and run as the object owner the cost is normal but when I login and run the query as a diffrent user I have a dramatic increase in the costs.
For example to retrieve the rows from Work_Order_Coding_Tab as the object owner the cost is 1 while logged in as the other user the cost is 26070 :(.

Does the query bring back the expected results? There appears to be an issue with your customer_no logic. The only customer_no that will meet your criteria is '10027', the < '5%' appears redundant.
with a as (
select '10027' customer_no from dual union all
select '10027x' customer_no from dual)
select *
from a
where a.customer_no < '5%'
and a.customer_no like '10027';Also, your LIKE operators can be rewritten as '=' if you do not use wildcards, ie '%' or '_'.
If the active_work_order table is larger than the others, you may want to use the smallest table when comparing the customer_no column as it may assist in the execution path.

Explain plan looks different in steps 19 to 28. I am not sure why 10g have more steps

Hi
I have no experience in 8i. I do know 10g does costing different from 8i. So I think the other plan might got elliminated.
Normally when I see differences. I just collect statistics on the tables and the indexes and remove the hints. Hints are not good . This has helped me to solve few problems.
Thanks

WHERE clause in a SMARTFORM loop, problems with parenthesis

Hi all gurus,
a simple question: I'm coding a LOOP in the form builder for a smartform ... this simple loop should bind text elements to every position of a purchase order. The WHERE clause should be as follows:
WHERE GUID = WA_ITEM-GUID
AND ( TDID EQ 'ZDES' OR TDID EQ 'ZDST' ).
Anyway, in the Form Builder I didn't find a way to add parenthesis; I workarounded the problem with the following query:
(conditions in lines are in AND conjunction)
GUID EQ     WA_ITEM-GUID
TDID      EQ   'ZDES'
OR
GUID EQ     WA_ITEM-GUID
TDID      EQ 'ZDST'.
It's quite a 'bad' way, but it works. I wonder if there's a way to express "complex" WHERE clauses (with addiction of parenthesis) in Form Builder.
Thanks in advance

In this case, your solution is the one that works. However in more complex cases with more variables, this can proove difficult to make or mantain.
What I usually do is use the first part of the condition in the where and then add a condition to the printing area with the rest of the formula. Just remember to document this so that you'll find it easy and it's way more amintainable.
In this case the loop would contain WHERE GUID = WA_ITEM-GUID and the inside condition TDID EQ 'ZDES' OR TDID EQ 'ZDST. This creates the and between the two blocks.

ah ok , I was confused with this q:= q||'AND (ab.status = '''||list_status(i)||'''';I think I get it now
basically stop the string and write double quotes before the variable
'AND (ab.status = ' + ''||list_status(i)||'' + ''No, more like "wherever I want a single quote within a string, I put two single quotes instead and that tells oracle it's a quote and not the end of the string".
