Question on Query

Hi Friends,
Business wants empty values to be displayed as zeros (0.00) in the query for key figures. Please help me how i can proceed further, becasue i am new to BEX.
Many Thanks!
Regards,
Syed

hi,
go in query properties-> value display-> zero value display and here there are different option:
With Currency/Unit: Zeroes are displayed with the currency/unit that is 0.00USD
Without Currency/Unit: Zeroes are displayed without a currency /unit that is 0.00.
A Empty Cells: Cells containing a zero value remain empty.
Display Zeroes As: Choosing this setting activates the Display Zeroes As field. You are now able to enter the required value (character, number or letter), for example, *. The cells containing a zero value are filled with this value.
i guess for your secanrio without currency/unit fits in, please use that setting , i hope this will resolve your issue

Crystal Report Question on query

I am trying to design a report to where it lists a name of a unique person in a table and totals the amount of money they owe. Essentially it's a letter for parking tickets and it will total all the fine amounts for that individual person. I don't know how to design the report to produce this result and how to design the query to produce this result.

Hi, I copied the question, so I would not miss anything.

First off, depending on your version of CR, some of the instructions may not be correct. I have CRXI
Create a group based on the persons information (I assume you would have a drivers license number, or something you could group off of. You may also want to group off date/time or amount.
In your details section drop in whatever fields you wish to return from the Database.
When you run your report, you should see all the records, sorted by the persons Id and then the date.
Now, this will be more data than you want, so you can use the select expert to limit what is returned. For example if the ticket is paid, you do not need to send a letter. The select statement will look something like this, if your field that indicates a ticket is paid is ticket_# not ({Ticket_#} like "paid") So if Paid shows up in that field, the record is suppressed. Also, look at the example reports, they may help you get some id's

Another question about query execution speed.

I know I should normally start with posting the query but my question will take a little different direction, so here is the deal:
We have an Apex application, there is a query on one of the pages that for certain users takes quite long, lets say 1min to 2 min, depending on how many records the query returns. The actual query varies depedning on some security settings and other parameters on the page - it's constructed by pl/sql function returning sql.
By querying v$sql I get the exact sql run by the user for who the query takes long time to execute.
Then I run that same sql statemt in Toad and it always takes 2 seconds to execute. For the user executing the same sql from Apex takes consistently 50-100 sec. My Toad is set to return up to 10,000 records and the query returns less than 500.
Can somebody help me make some sense of this?

The actual query varies depedning on some security settings and other parameters on the page - it's constructed by pl/sql function returning sql.To render a page, Apex does much some more stuff than just run the query. For instance, depending on the type of pagination you have enabled it needs to get the total number of rows to display "x to y of z" (or to display the message "more than nnn rows found"). Have you enabled debugging in Apex to be sure that most of the waiting time is spent on that query?

General question about query

Hi,
You create a InfoCube, with aggregate been performed in it, now you write a query for that cube, how will you Identify a query with a cube, which has aggregate performed in it, is there a way to find it?
Please let me know, if you dont understand the question.
Thanks.
will reward points.

Hi,
The fact that a query uses an aggregate to fetch the data from is transparent on the Bex front-end. If you want to check if a query is fethcing data from the cube or its aggregates, execute the query in RSRT with the Debug options set for aggregates.
Hope this helps...

Question on query causing timeouts and CXpacket

Hello,
I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 SE with 24 processors as shown below:
This is a standalone non clustered server. The MAXDOP setting is 8 as shown below:
These settings have been the same for more than an year. But since last week I am noticing that query is taking longer time to execute and complaining on 94% wait time is on CXPACKET. Does this necessarily mean the MAXDOP setting has to be changed?
I added a few indexes for this query and CXPacket is gone but the indexes are causing failures somewhere else. As soon as the indexes were disabled these failures are gone.
Experts I need your valuable thoughts on this. Thanks a bunch.

Hello,
But since last week I am noticing that query is taking longer time to execute and complaining on 94% wait time is on CXPACKET. Does this necessarily mean the MAXDOP setting has to be changed?
I would think not at this moment (though that's just a guess right now). Is this a problem with just a single query, a few, all, etc? The first step I would take (against CXPACKET waits on a query) is to check out the execution plan and verify that statistics
skew isn't causing a problem with work divisions per thread. To do this, find the parallelism operators (press f4 to show details in SSMS) and investigate the threads and the amount of rows each processed. If it is skewed on some threads that could be participating
in the issue you are having. Let's start checking here and see what the result is.
You could also get the execution plan and upload it somewhere for us to look at.

Questions for Query Migration to 7.x

Hi, I am sure lots of people have converted all of their Queries from 3.x to 7.x at this point in time so I'm hoping to leverage from the experienced knowledge base that is out there.
When Migrating the Queries did everyone... (If you could add your detailed experience that would be appreciated!
1. Migrate in Dev and transport
or ---
2. Migrate Queries separately in each environment?
Thanks

Hi
Before Migration , make sure system having BI 7 installation for query designer and other.
As Per your thread , YES we need to migrate the queries in Development system , collect the transport and move it further system.
Migration process like:
1). Goto Query Designer open the 3.x in BI 7.
2). If there were no warning and errors after query opened in query designer, Then Save query into BI7. With this step query migrated into BI 7.
3). If query wants to restore into 3.x , we are having program COMPONENT_RESTORE to get it back, This program will gets query back into older version as its same as old query.
4). After migration of queries use transport connection to collect transports. With this help we can make sure all query elements also collected successfully.
Hope this will clear all your concerns.

Question on query expression

I read through the ondemand webservices guide but didn't fiind the answer I was looking for.
I have a requirement to query Opportunities by setting a multiple search criteria on a single field. For ex, OpportunityConcatField Not equal to VALUE1, VALUE 2 etc.
If I set only one value in the expression the query works fine. The moment I set more than one value the query bombs out. I read in the forum somewhere that, if I need to set multiple criteria I need to create multiple objects (each with a single criteria) and add them to the list of the input. I would like to avoid it if I can as my criteria is dynamic and is specified in a config file.
Is there any other alternative ?.
Thanks

If i understand your problem correctly, you want to query the records where OpportunityConcatField not equal to VAL1, VAL2,VAL3 etc...
why don't you use AND operation
((<>'VAL1') AND (<>'VAL2)) AND (<>'VAL3') like this.

Question with Query

Hello all,
This might be simple for a experienced user. I wrote a query in my sql 2000 database, to retrieve records. The query looks like this.
select employee.employeeLName,employee.employeefname,employeepay.badgeNumber,
from employee
INNER JOIN employeepay
ON employee.employeeid=employeepay.employeeid;
Since this is our payroll database, everytime a user is changed whether its , pay rate, fulltime-partime, etc, it updates a new record within the database. So when I run this query it pulls like 10 or so records of each employee. There is a column in the
employeepositions table that is Effectivedate. I need to write this exact query but have it pull the records of only the newest effective date for each employee? Any help would be great!

Welcome to the forums.
Looks like you've not met the alias yet. An alias is a short way to refer to a table. After you've used the table name, you can follow it with a short name (FROM employee e), you can then reference that table using it's short name else where in the query.
This can make your queries significantly shorter, and much easier to read.
Since you're on 2000, we have to use ugly inserts. Sorry about that. I've mocked up your tables based on the information you gave us. In future if you could do this yourself, it will help people to help you.
Basically, we need to self-join the table and get the most recent effective date for any given employee:
DECLARE @employee TABLE (employeeID INT IDENTITY, employeeLName VARCHAR(50), employeeFName VARCHAR(50), badgeNumber INT)
INSERT INTO @employee (employeeLName, employeeFName, badgeNumber) VALUES ('Bond','James',007)
INSERT INTO @employee (employeeLName, employeeFName, badgeNumber) VALUES ('Kirk','James',1701)
INSERT INTO @employee (employeeLName, employeeFName, badgeNumber) VALUES ('Archer','Jonathon',01)
INSERT INTO @employee (employeeLName, employeeFName, badgeNumber) VALUES ('Archer','Sterling',1)
DECLARE @employeePay TABLE (employeeID INT, effectiveDate DATETIME, salary FLOAT)
INSERT INTO @employeePay (employeeID, effectiveDate, salary) VALUES (1, '2000-01-01',1007)
INSERT INTO @employeePay (employeeID, effectiveDate, salary) VALUES (1, '2001-01-01',2007)
INSERT INTO @employeePay (employeeID, effectiveDate, salary) VALUES (1, '2002-01-01',3007)
INSERT INTO @employeePay (employeeID, effectiveDate, salary) VALUES (2, '2000-01-01',1701)
INSERT INTO @employeePay (employeeID, effectiveDate, salary) VALUES (2, '2001-01-01',2701)
INSERT INTO @employeePay (employeeID, effectiveDate, salary) VALUES (2, '2002-01-01',3701)
INSERT INTO @employeePay (employeeID, effectiveDate, salary) VALUES (3, '2000-01-01',101)
INSERT INTO @employeePay (employeeID, effectiveDate, salary) VALUES (3, '2001-01-01',201)
INSERT INTO @employeePay (employeeID, effectiveDate, salary) VALUES (3, '2002-01-01',301)
INSERT INTO @employeePay (employeeID, effectiveDate, salary) VALUES (4, '2000-01-01',9999)
INSERT INTO @employeePay (employeeID, effectiveDate, salary) VALUES (4, '2001-01-01',99999)
INSERT INTO @employeePay (employeeID, effectiveDate, salary) VALUES (4, '2002-01-01',999999)
SELECT *
FROM @employee e
INNER JOIN @employeepay ep
ON e.employeeid = ep.employeeid
AND ep.effectiveDate = (SELECT MAX(effectiveDate) FROM @employeePay WHERE employeeID = e.employeeID)
hope this helps.

Questions on Query Variable

HI,
I have a query where I can see the list of variables in the Query Property out of which I cant find one variable used in the query but it comes up in query properties.
How can i find out where the variable is used?
Thanks,
Dave.

Did you check in Query Properties ? will show the list of variables and their sequence for the selection screen
QD - Left hand side - expand char - you will see char values of variables
BI 7.x click on rows/columns tab - you will see the variables for selection under Default values and click on variable and choose where used list from the menu , will show u list of variables
check the table for variables RSZGLOBV

Simple Question - SQL Query

List the branch number and names of shops which do not have any books written by Pratt in stock. Order the list by branch number.
how can I code this? if that statement was positive, i would say something like "where ..... author_last IN ('Pratt')"
But in this case, how can I do it? i don't think there's a command like "OUT" in SQL :)

Hi,
If you how how to find the shops that DO have such books, then you're off to a good start!
Make a NOT EXISTS or NOT IN sub-query.
For example, in the scott.dept table, if you wanted to find all the departments that do not have any salesmen working in them (as found in the scott.emp table):
SELECT *
FROM    scott.dept
WHERE   deptno NOT IN ( SELECT deptno
                         FROM    scott.emp
                         WHERE   job = 'SALESMAN'
;"NOT IN" is sort of like "OUT".

Basic question about querying georaster tables

hello all
i have a table with georaster column containing georeferenced images covering large area. can i query the table to get an image covering any user given cooordinates . the user given coordinates can span more than one image in the table. is this possible
thanks

Hi,
Yes this is possible to operate with several GeoRaster images in one or several tables. But before this you should create specific GeoRaster metadata structure to join those separate images. You can find information about this procedure in GeoRaster documentation.

Datapump question with "query"

Hi,
I'm trying to use expdp to export only certain rows of a table. Am I doing something wrong? (obviously yes ;-) Getting the following error
$ expdp user/password directory=DP dumpfile=dunp.dmpdp tables=user.t_calculationhistory query=user.t_calculationhistory:"WHERE DATEOFCALCULATION>TO_DATE('20081111','YYYYMMDD') AND DATEOFCALCULATION<TO_DATE('20081112','YYYYMMDD')"
**LRM-00116: syntax error at ')' following 'YYYYMMDD'**
$
Any suggestions on the syntax

Hi,
Try this
$ expdp user/password directory=DP dumpfile=dunp.dmpdp tables=user.t_calculationhistory query=user.t_calculationhistory:' "WHERE DATEOFCALCULATION>TO_DATE('20081111','YYYYMMDD') AND DATEOFCALCULATION<TO_DATE('20081112','YYYYMMDD')" '
Your condition is wrong because date of calculation is greater than 11 and less than 12, i think you have given wrong date.

Performance question 1 query with several tables, or several queries?

Say I want to gather data from various tables, for instance.
1. big query like this....
Select col1, col2, col3, col4, col5
from tab1, tab2, tab3, tab4, tab5
where tab1 = tab2
and tab2 = tab3
and tab3 = tab4
and tab4 = tab5;
or
different queries in a cursor (to gather each column i need), like this...
cursor c_1 Is
select col1
from tab1
where col1 = :param
cursor c_2 Is
select col2
from tab2
where col2 = :param
cursor c_3 Is
select col3
from tab3
where col3 = :param
cursor c_4 Is
select col4
from tab4
where col4 = :param
Efficiently, what's better, faster and resources saver?
Gracias a lot.

Truthfully, the only way you will know or sure is to run both queries and compare timing results and resource demands. The phrase "your mileage may vary" applies here. Anything else anyone tells you is a rule of thumb which is most often going to be correct but may have exceptions to that rule.

Java Persistance: Question about query within inheritance class

In father class here is the annotation:
@Entity
@Table(name = "CONTENT_MEDIA")
@Inheritance(strategy=javax.persistence.InheritanceType.JOINED)
@DiscriminatorColumn(name="CONTENT_TYPE", discriminatorType=javax.persistence.DiscriminatorType.INTEGER)
@DiscriminatorValue("4")

@Entity
@Table(name = "ISBN_BOOK")
@DiscriminatorValue("1000001")
@NamedQueries( {
@NamedQuery(name = "ISBN_BOOK.findViaISBN", query = "SELECT g FROM ISBNBook g WHERE g.ISBNnumber = :isbn")
When I do the query, the result is:
Internal Exception: org.apache.derby.client.am.SqlException: Comparisons between 'INTEGER' and 'CHAR' are not supported.Error Code: -1
Call:SELECT t0.CONTENT_ID, t0.CONTENT_TYPE, t0.OBTAIN_DATE, t0.SEARCH_TIMES, t0.LAST_SEARCH_DATE, t1.CONTENT_ID, t1.BOOK_NAME, t1.AUTHOR, t1.ISBN_NUMBER, t1.CURRENT_LOCATION FROM CONTENT_MEDIA t0, ISBN_BOOK t1 WHERE ((t1.ISBN_NUMBER = CAST (? AS VARCHAR(32672) )) AND ((t1.CONTENT_ID = t0.CONTENT_ID) AND (t0.CONTENT_TYPE = '1000001')))
bind => [AAA]
The problem is: t0.CONTENT_TYPE = '1000001'. I have set the column to Integer, why the JPA use the char?
Can anyone solve the problem for me?
