Querying data

I have acces to a Microsoft Access data base via Livecycle Designer 8 and I want to compare the user name in the database to a user name I get from the the person filling out the form. I need to know how to put a specific name from a database into a variable so that I can compare the two values. Does anyone have any idea how I would I go about doing this?

You will need to set up an ODBC connection to get the data from the database. Look in the help it describes how to access a DB. You can bind the appropriate column in the DB to a hidden field (holds the value). Then you can compare the two fields and perform the appropriate action.

Use evdre to query data from a SQL View

Hi all
I believe that it is possible to use evdre to query data from a SQL View. If this is possible then how does one go about setting it up in the evdre options (assuming that the view has already been created)?
Regards,
Byron

Byron, perhaps this is no longer supported, it might be worth opening up a case at service.sap.com on this. However, I did find the following on Page 11 of the "Usages and Considerations of EVDRE" pdf file. This doc is imbedded in the helpfile for BPC 7 SP5 (which was released in August of 2009, well after note 1315011 was last updated.
It looks like you are limited to one custom view per application, since you have to name the view in a parameter at the APPLICATION level. Go into BPC Administration, login to the application related to the custom view, choose "Set Application Parameters" and enter the name of the view to the Application Parameter called "EVDRE_QUERYVIEWNAME" If it is not listed, go ahead and create it at the bottom of the Application parameter screen.
Also: I interpreted the following info from Page 10 of the same doc:
In your EVDRE, set the following options:
QueryEngine: MANUAL
QueryType: enter either NEXJ OR TUPLE see below:
NEXJ - Use two-dimensional queries using the nonemptycrossjoin function
TUPLE - Use two-dimensional queries using tuples"
And I'm assuming you'd enter a Y for the following two parameters:
QueryViewName
"..to enforce the query engine to use a used-defined SQL view of the fact tables, when trying to read the values using SQL queries. This option is typically used in conjunction with the SQLOnly option (see below). "
Option SQLOnly
"..to enforce the query engine to only execute SQL queries, when reading data. This can be achieved using this option."

Not able insert ,query data from forms

hi,
I am not able to insert data or query data from forms(10g devsuite).getting error frm-40505,frm 40508 .i am able to insert and select record from sql plus.the block ihave created is control block .it is connected to the table using the properties.
should i do anything to insert record.please help

the block ihave created is control block .it is connected to the table using the properties.A Control Block, by definition, is a non-database block. This means the block is not directly connected to a table so you have to manually display data in the block and any DML you want to perform on data in this block you must do manually as well.
There are four database objects you can base your database block on; 1) a Table, 2) a View, 3) From Clause Query (basically an In-line View), and 4) a database stored procedure. I recommend you use one of these four methods rather than manually display your data.

Is there a way to consolidate calculations used in SQL Query Data Sets?

I am building SQL Query Data Sets against multiple DB Views which all have different date formats. I have the date parameter working well, but want to consolidate the changes that I have to do to it especially for the quarter. For example the SQL against a monthly view would use "where year_month > to_char(:ST_DATE, 'YYYY-MM')" which is not too hard, but to make that work for the quarterly view I need several concats and a decode to get a "> '2012-Q2'". I would like not to have to do this within every where clause. I had put this into a global element hoping to use that in a filter for the data set, but the filter does not have access to global elements only parameters.
Is there any way to refer to a calculated global element from the data set to do this? I am using Layout Templates, so even if I wanted to I could not do the condition within the template.
     Thanks,
     Rick

Change the following line to include the red coloured parts
<div class="MasterColumn" spry:repeat="ds4" spry:setrow="ds4" spry:hover="MasterColumnHover" spry:select="MasterColumnSelected">
<span>{Dsp_#}</span><span>{Dsp_WkDay}</span><span>{Dsp_Event}</span>
</div>
The add the following style rule to your document:
.MasterColumn span {
    display: inline-block;
I hope this helps.

Hello,
many thanks for the reply. Your examples are very usefull for me.
To answer your questions.
An XML structure:
/etd
    /header - repeat in each row in output
    /account_group/account
        /invoice
            /da - repeat for each details under "selected "invoice
            /detaildc/dc - the lowest level
            /detaildn/dn - the lowest level
            /dt - repeat for each details under "selected "invoice
    /footer - repeat in each row in outputI would like to to have a 1 row for each "record" in /detaildc section and include related nodes at higher levels.
Please see below XML file, which is simplified file of example in first post, but includes a complete xml structure which needs to be queried in db.

anyone know pls help me
Many thanks

As a general rule, it's a good idea to separate the
presentation (JSP and HTML) from the business rules
(database access). I know you didn't do that on the
AS/400, you had display files and business logic in
the same program (at least, we certainly do in ours),
but it's a good policy to follow in the web world.
That means, don't put your database access code in
the JSP. Other than that, it depends on the data.
If you have simple data (e.g. customer's name and
d address) then a Java bean would suffice. If you
have complex data (e.g. customer's payment history)
then a bean still might suffice. You would use an
"include" if you had some data (static or dynamic)
that you wanted to appear in several different pages
in the same form.Thanks, I figured putting the code in the JSP was not the best way, but I wasn't sure about the other options.

Query data from MS SQL db through Oracle ? By using JAVA ?

Hi folks,
I would like to sync our one table in oracle db with table in different system, stored in MS SQL database.
What would be the easiest option for connection from Oracle to MS SQL db to be able to query data from MS SQL through some Oracle package?
If possible, I would like to keep all "tricky steps" within Oracle database. I heard about option with Java, but so far we have no experience with java in Oracle.
Our database: Oracle 11g Database Standard Edition One
Many thanks,
Tomas

Trying to query data from a view - ORA-01882 and ORA-02063 Errors

Hey there,
I tried to query data from a view that was provided by a colleague. This view works fine and gives correct data using PL/SQL Developer or SQLPLUS, but in SQL Developer, I get the following error:
ORA-01882: Time zone region not found
ORA-02063: preceding line from SYSTOOLS
01882.00000 - "timezone region %s not found"
* Cause: Specified reason name was not found
* Action: Please contact Oracle Customer Support
Vendor Code 1882
Where comes this error message from?! SYSTOOLS is the database link.
Can't see an obvious reason for this error.
OS is Windows 2000 SP4, SQL Developer is v1.1.1.25 BUILD MAIN-25.14

With clause in SQL query data model

Hello!
isn't it possible to use the with clause in sql query data models?
for example following query:
WITH
a_test as (
select dummy from dual
select *
from a_test
brings up a "XML Parsing Error: no element found"-error...
BR Paul

I tried a slightly different query (see below) and the query worked fine and retrieved data.. I did not get any errors.
WITH
a_test as (
select 'dummy' from dual
select *
from a_test
This works as well.. retrieving the value of the parameter
WITH
a_test as (
select :Test_ID from dual
select *
from a_test

Question on Dynamic Query Data Source and Form Folders in Oracle Forms 6i

Hi there -
I have one interesting requirement in Oracle Forms.
This is what I wanted to do.
1. Have a LOV and Go button on Form.
2. From LOV, I will select a pre-defined custom table and click Go.
3. Based on the selected custom table, I have to populate the Block (Tabular Format).
4. User should be able to do update, delete, insert on this block.
5. User should be able to use the Oracle Form folders functionality (select only necessary column and save views etc. Std folder functionality).
6. If user selects a different custom table name in the LOV on top, I need to refresh the data from the block based on this new table. Remaining functionality should be as it is (steps 3 to 5).
You can see here, I am going to have dynamic query data source (Table Name as well as column mapping) on the block. I do not know before hand how many columns the user selected table has!
This is what I have planned for this so far but I have some major questions before I can move on with this design:
1. I am going to create a table structure with fixed number of column in form (40 cols assuming that the custom table will not have more that 40 cols). (Kind of limitation but it's okay as of now).
2. Dynamically populate the block based on the table name selected by the user from LOV. Dynamically change the table column names based on the table selected etc.
3. Perform insert, update, delete using PL/SQL package.
So far it looks okay.
Now my real question is,
Can user still be able to user "Folders" functionality here? I have never done this kind of development before and I doubt the dynamic column naming, dynamic column data source will really work for "folders"!
Also, I am not really sure whether user will be able to save these "folder" queries?
Okay so form experts, can you ppl suggest me if this is really going to work? Are there any better ways to do this?
Initially I tried to do this in OA Framework but I got stuck at because as per OAF developer guide "I cannot user OAF personalization for dynamic items, regions etc".
For more info on that thread see this link...
Re: setUserCustomizable issue!
Thanks in advance for the help.

Any suggestion anyone?

SQL Concat function seem not to work properly in SQL query data model. BIP 11g

I try to use this function to show entire name CONCAT(name, ' ', surname) and it doesnt show the surname. it looks like it only tooks 2 arguments. I use it with the option "Add element by expression" within a SQL Query - Data set.
Lucia

i don't believe you
please post more info, may be screen or sql or some more useful statement
CONCAT(name, ' ', surname) and it doesnt show the surname
may be because for some case "surname" is empty or may be you incorrect use concat function
one way mentioned by BluShadow is " || " operator - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/operators003.htm#SQLRF51156
and another is concat function http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/functions026.htm#SQLRF00619
so for your case it can be like
CONCAT(CONCAT(name, ' '), surname)

Multiple PS Query Data Sources in RTF Template

Is it possible to use two PS Queries as Data Sources on an RTF template in XML Publisher?
There is a field in the main Data Source (PS Query) that needs to join to some other tables. This slows down the query considerably even after tweaking the join and tuning, etc. Instead of doing the join in the main PS Query Data Source, can we do any of these?
1. Do a select statement inside an RTF template Form Field?
2. Use two PS Queries on the same RTF template?
3. Import a sub template that uses its own PS Query Data Source for the field?
Hope this makes sense. Thank you.

You can have multiple data models and then use the 'concatenated SQL data source' to generate a single xml file that includes data based on both queries. You can not do a select statement inside a RTF template.
Within the RTF template you can write logic to join the two data sets... see this blog post:http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/formatting_concatenated_dataso
Thanks,

Best Practice on querying Data from Database

Hello and I was wondering what is the preferred and best practice for querying data from an SQL database inside a JSP page. Is it using the JSTL library or another method? Thanks

It depends on the size of the application really.
The "correct and preferred" approach in a large MVC app would be to have a seperate class that does all the database access, retrieving the data into java objects.
Check out [url http://java.sun.com/blueprints/corej2eepatterns/Patterns/DataAccessObject.html] DAO pattern
You then "save" the data into request/session attributes, and forward to a jsp page to render the result.
Most approaches recommend a separation between JSP (the view) and SQL code.
The JSTL sql tags are provided more for "quick and dirty" code applicable in small applications, or for fast prototyping. That approach is not really robust for large scale applications.

Export Query Data to Excel

Hey guys, I have a cfm page that I am using to query data, and the result set is displayed on the same page when a user clicks submit.
My question is, I would like to create a clickable icon where, after a user runs the query and the data table displays, I want the user to be able to click a little Excel icon that will allow them to download the data in Excel.
So, a user clicks on a little icon somewhere on the page and IE or Firefox or whatever pops up a little dialog box asking them if they want to OPEN or SAVE the file results.xls. How can I do this?
Here is my current code, but where do I implement the cfoutput stuff to export? On the same page?
<cfquery name="qActivity" datasource="khamp" result="resultInfo">
     SELECT KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ACCOUNT, KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT.DES1, KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ENTITY,
    SUM (KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.AMOUNT) AS "TotalAmt"
     FROM KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT, KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL
    WHERE 0=0
    <cfif Form.Entity IS NOT "">
          AND KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ENTITY = '#Form.Entity#'
     </cfif>
    AND KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ACCTG_DATE <= '#Form.asofday#-#Form.asofmonth#-#Form.asofyear#'
    <cfif Form.accountnum IS NOT "">
    AND KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT = '#Form.accountnum#'
    </cfif>
    AND KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT=KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ACCOUNT
    GROUP BY
KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT,
KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ACCOUNT,
KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT.DES1,
KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ENTITY
     HAVING SUM(KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.AMOUNT)<>0
     ORDER BY KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT ASC
     </cfquery>
<cfif resultInfo.Recordcount eq 0>
    No Records Match the Search Criteria.
    <cfelse>
    <hr/>
    <br/>
    <table border="1" class="displaytable">

        <tr>
           <th>Account</th>
           <th>Description</th>
           <th>Entity</th>
           <th>Book 1</th>
      </tr>

      <cfoutput query="qActivity">
      <tr>
        <td>#qActivity.ACCOUNT#</td>
        <td>#qActivity.DES1#</td>
        <td>#qActivity.ENTITY#</td>
        <td style="text-align:right">#NumberFormat('#qActivity.TotalAmt#', "_(999,999,999.99)")#</td>
      </tr>
      </cfoutput>
I got the following code off of a thread in the forum, but it trys to download the excel file as soon as the query is run (the excel download doesn't work though, it trys to download the actual cfm page instead):
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition"
value="inline; filename=tb.xls">
<cfcontent type="application/vnd.ms-excel">
<table border="2">
<tr>
<td> Account </td><td> Description </td><td> Entity </td><td> Book1 </td>
</tr>
<cfoutput query="qActivity">
<tr>
<td>#qActivity.ACCOUNT#</td><td>#qActivity.DES1#</td><td>#qActivity.ENTITY#</td><td>#NumberFormat('#qActivity.TotalAmt#', "_(999,999,999.99)")#</td>
</tr>
</cfoutput>
</table>
</cfcontent>
Thanks guysq

To actually get the data into excel, google "cold fusion excel poi" and look for Ben Nadel's cfc. Otherwise you might have issues with Office 2007.
For the icon or whatever, make your query a session variable. Then have the icon link to either a self closing popup or a very small iframe that exports the query to an excel file and then uses cfcontent to download it to the user.
