Read SQL database by ABAP using OLE

Is somebody using abap to get a sql recordset?
I can connect to SQL and get a recordset but I can not retrieve data from the recordset.
I think this syntax is not correct:
<
data: records type P.
get property of field 'Value' = records.
>
is someone can help me?
thanks.
report chap2801.
include ole2incl.
data: con type ole2_object,
rs type ole2_object,
field type ole2_object.
* creating an object
create object con 'adodb.connection'.
check sy-subrc = 0.
* setting properties

* calling methods
call method of con 'open'.
check sy-subrc = 0.
create object rs 'adodb.recordset'.
check sy-subrc = 0.
set property of rs 'activeconnection' = con.
call method of rs 'open'
exporting #1 = 'select count(*) as a from Products'.
check sy-subrc = 0.
get property of rs 'fields' = field exporting #1 = 0.

What's a better connection to an SQL database? ODBC or OLE DB

NEw user here, but what would be a preferred way of connecting to my SQL database? So far I have option of using ODBC (RDO) connection or OLE DB(ADO) connection. I'm not sure what the differences or when to use one or the other.
Thanks

I like OLE DB for the simply because it's "portable". With OLE DB the connection info is stored in the report. With ODBC, the report is using a system dsn connection. It means that if you want to send it to another user / computer, you also have to make sure the other computer has the same ODBC connection.
In terms of performance... I've used both and have never seen a difference.

Unable to launch a new document in winword 2007 from abap using OLE

Dear Developers,
We have a customized abap report which use OLE to launch a new document and display SAP data in that document. It is working on winword 2003.
When we upgrade our version to office 2007 (winword 2007), the abap report will only launch a blank screen with no new document , no data is displayed.
After reading OSS note 1286768, I tried with sap gui version 7.10 patch 17, but it still did not work.
Some part of the codes below :
CREATE OBJECT wordobj 'Word.Basic' .
CALL METHOD OF wordobj 'AppInfo' = version EXPORTING #1 = 2.
CALL METHOD OF wordobj 'FileNew' EXPORTING #1 = 'normal.dot'.
CALL METHOD OF wordobj 'AppShow'.
Do we need to install any files in SAP server to enable winword 2007?
Do you have any tips to share?
Thanks & regards
Bee Khuan

HI,
   use the following
create object wordobj 'WORD.APPLICATION' .
if sy-subrc ne 0 .
    message s000(su) with 'Error while creating OLE object!'.
    leave program .
endif .
set property of gs_word 'Visible' = '1' .
SET PROPERTY OF gs_word 'Save' = '1' .
get property of gs_word 'documents' = gs_documents.
call method of gs_documents 'Add' = newdoc.

How to read Oracle Database as Input using BDC..

Hello SAP Minds,
How to read the data from Oracle data base to SAP tables. How can i use directly the Oracle database as input..
I have to upload the time data for my client for each of its employee per day. Their clock in and clock out time is recorded in the time maching and finally it gets stored into centralised oracle database, now they want me to use this centralised database as input and upload the same into SAP.
For example :
pernr time-in time-out begda endda
00001 8.00 18.00 26-11-2007 26-11-2007

You can use the database connector (DBCON) to read external databases directly.

Excel from abap using OLE, trying to make an excel cell-property currency

Hello everyone,
I have build an abap application which generates a price list as a MS Excel file using OLE techniques (ole2incl).
One small thing in the excel file is lacking and I hope some one can help me out:
I want to give certain cells in excel the "cell property - currency", so that excel shows the amounts as currency values.
Has anyone done or seen that before?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Kind regard, Archie Oomen

Hi,
I am having a similiar problem trying to fix the CELL format as TEXT.
No matter how I try, it often ends up as 'GENERAL.
Have you resolved your issue?
Prehaps, you could share it if you had already rectify your problem.
Thanks a lot

Querying an SQL Database from ABAP

Is is possible from within ABAP in R/3 (or NetWeaver) to query a non-SAP database? For example, can I write ABAP code which will go after data in say a non SAP DB2 database at some remote location?
Kevin

Hi
Connecting to an External database from SAP
Step 1: Create an entry for the External database in DBCON table using Trxn: DBCA.
Table: DBCON (Description of Database Connections)
Field Name Description Value (For: E.g.:)
CON_NAME Logical name for a database connection RAJ
DBMS Database system MSS
USER_NAME Database user <username>
PASSWORD Password for setting up the connection to the database <pwd>/<pwd>
CON_ENV Database-specific information for a database connection MSSQL_SERVER=depotserver MSSQL_DBNAME=HOF_INDORE
DB_RECO Availability type for an open database connect
Step 2: Now you can write code to connect to the external database
Your Sample code can be something like this
DATA: BEGIN OF wa,
c_locid(3),
c_locname(50),
c_locstate(5),
END OF wa.
EXEC SQL.
CONNECT TO 'RAJ' AS 'V'
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
SET CONNECTION 'V'
ENDEXEC.
*- Get the data from MS-SQL Server
EXEC SQL.
open C1 for
select
loc_id,
loc_name,
loc_state
from ho_loc_mast
ENDEXEC.
DO.
EXEC SQL.
FETCH NEXT C1 into :wa-c_locid, :wa-c_locname, :wa-c_locstate
ENDEXEC.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
PERFORM loop_output.
ELSE.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
EXEC SQL.
CLOSE C1
ENDEXEC.
*& Form LOOP_OUTPUT
Output
FORM loop_output .
WRITE: /5 wa-c_locid, 10 wa-c_locname, 65 wa-c_locstate.
CLEAR wa.

What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do? I'm lost!
Thank you for your help!
Johannes.

Thank you Durairaj, as a matter of fact my program is based on your post (one that you pointed me to). For whatever reason I'm not having luck figuring it out (may be just a bit of work pressure) could you please hlep me a bit more by pointing me to where in my program code/xslt I'm going wrong? I somehow feel that it could be my table structure or xslt.
I would really appreciate it!
Thanks again,

Transfering data from External SQL database to BW

Hi Experts,
     I am trying to extract data from an External SQL Database in BW using
     DB Connect.
    1. I have created a DB Source System.
    2. Using this Source System I have generated a Datasoure.
       ( following all the naming conventions for Table Names and Field Names)
    Till this point everything is OK.
    Then I assign a Infosource and try to upload the data into PSA.
    The process is never complete and I am getting a message
   <i> <b>Request still running
    Diagnosis
    No errors could be found. The current process has probably not finished yet.
    System response
    The ALE inbox of the SAP BW is identical to the ALE outbox of the source
    system
    and/or
    the maximum wait time for this request has not yet run out
    and/or
    the batch job in the source system has not yet ended.
    Current status
    No Idocs arrived from the source system</b>.</i>
     please help me.
thanks
arshad

please first tell me which wich user you connect and the exact name of your table/view: is it dbo.table?
as I said, better create a user in your SQL, log with this user and create a view.
in RSBDC select this view and generate datasource. Check if you see data.
if yes, the load shouldn't fail.
We came across the same issue: login with sa, accessing a dbo. object; seing the data in RSDBC but nothing loading...
let me know
Olivier.

Load image from SQL database with ASP?

Hello,
Does anyone know a tutorial where you can load an image from
a SQL database ?
I would like to show this image in Flash, but i don't know
how to load in from a SQL database using ASP.
Regards,
Micheal

Flash cannot load images from an SQL database.
Flash can load JPEG, PNG, GIF, SWF, MP3, and FLV files.
An SQL database can be used to store the file names and their
location. ASP can retrieve that data from the SQL and return to
Flash to load the above file formats.
For Flash to do the communication with ASP you need to
determine if you are using URL Encoded or XML data structures.
For URL Encoded data you look at
LoadVars.sendAndLoad
For XML Encoded data you look at
XML.sendAndLoad
Then in their onLoad methods you use
MovieClip.loadMovie
to load JPEG, GIF, PNG and SWF;
Sound.loadSound
for MP3,
NetConnection.connect,
Video.attachVideo and NetStream.play for FLV.
For the ASP side the work with the database has nothing to do
with Flash other than using any search variable sent from Flash
with LoadVars.sendAndLoad or XML.sendAndLoad. In other words it
could be an HTML form sending the same variable and calling the
same ASP script. Same with returning values except with Flash only
URL Encoded or XML data structures are sent back and not
HTML.

Data Type for saving Base64 image string into SQL database

Hi Team! I have image base64 string to be save into sql database. I use Varchar(MAX) data type. The problem is there are certain image string that cannot be enter (paste) into the table (due to the size) then i need to resize the image then i can paste
the string into the table. How to make all image string size be able to be save in the table? Or there is limit on the image size to be save into the table? I'm using mssql 2008. Thanks a lot.

There is a limit of 2GB. Which means that the actual image size must be less, since you encode the image in Base64 for some reason.
Now, "pasting" strings is not the normal way to store data in an SQL Server database, so the question is a little funny. Normally data is stored in a database through a program of some sort. One way is to use OPENROWSET(BULK) as HuaMin suggested.
Here is a link to a simple example of how to do it from .NET:

Troubles Exporting SQL databases from Azure

1. If I connect via SQL Server Management Studio and choose Export Data Tier Application to local disk, it never ends
2. If I export via Azure web portal, it takes few hours
3. The only way that works is using SQL Server Management Studio and exporting to Azure container and then downloading it and importing via SQL Server Management Studio, seems like a lot of hassle
I need Azure SQL database to be transferred daily to my local machine, preferably automatically. How can I do it?

Hi Alex,
Since the issue regards Windows Azure SQL Database, I will help you move the question to the related forums, It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
As Olaf’s post, if you want to migrate databases between the SQL Server Database Engine and Windows Azure SQL Database, you can use the Windows Azure SQL Database Import and Export operations to copy databases between two different SQL Database servers.
In addition, you can also use the Windows Azure SQL Database copy database feature to make a consistent copy of a database, and perform the export from the copy. For more information, see
Copying Databases in Windows Azure SQL Database. And you also can migrate a database by using the generate scripts wizard. For more information, see:
How to: Migrate a Database by Using the Generate Scripts Wizard (Windows Azure SQL Database)
According to your description, you want to migrate database daily and automatically, you can configure automated exports to schedule export operations for a SQL database, and to specify the frequency of export operations, and to set the retention period
to store export files. Also you can set data sync between SQL Server and Windows Azure SQL database, configure bi-directional for database. For more information, see:
Windows Azure SQL Data Sync.

Who to use Native SQL statements in ABAP

hi all,
who to use native sql staements in abap bypassing Application server.
with regards,
suresh babu aluri.

Hi
Native SQL statements define an area in an ABAP program in which one or more Native SQL statements are to be carried out. The area between EXEC and ENDEXEC is not completely checked by the syntax check. The statements entered there are passed to the Native SQL interface and processed there as follows:
Almost all SQL statements that are valid for the addressed database system can be included between EXEC and ENDEXEC, in particular the DDL statements. These SQL statements are passed from the Native SQL interface to the database system largely unchanged. The syntax rules are specified by the database system, in particular the case sensitivity rules for database objects. If the syntax allows a separator character between individual statements, you can include several Native SQL statements between EXEC and ENDEXEC. Generally, the semicolon ( is used as the separator character.
You can also include SAP-specific Native SQL language elements between EXEC and ENDEXEC. These statements are not passed directly from the Native SQL interface to the database, but are converted appropriately.
All Native SQL statements bypass SAP buffering.
The ENDEXEC statement sets sy-dbcnt to the number of table rows processed in the last Native SQL statement. After implicit cursor processing with PERFORMING, sy-dbcnt contains the total number of lines read.
Programs with Native SQL statements are generally dependent on the database system used, so that they cannot be executed in all ABAP systems. This is especially true for the examples in this section, which was written for Informix database systems.
Example
Inserting two rows in the database table SCARR. If neither of these rows exists, sy-subrc is set to 0 by ENDEXEC and sy-dbcnt to 1. Otherwise, an exception is raised and handled.
DATA: exc_ref    TYPE REF TO cx_sy_native_sql_error,
      error_text TYPE string.
TRY.
    EXEC SQL.
      INSERT INTO scarr
                  (MANDT, CARRID, CARRNAME, CURRCODE, URL)
        VALUES ('000', 'FF', 'Funny Flyers', 'EUR',
                'http://www.ff.com');
      INSERT INTO scarr
                 (MANDT, CARRID, CARRNAME, CURRCODE, URL)
        VALUES ('000', 'EF', 'Easy Flyers', 'EUR',
                'http://www.ef.com');
    ENDEXEC.
CATCH cx_sy_native_sql_error INTO exc_ref.
    error_text = exc_ref->get_text( ).
    MESSAGE error_text TYPE 'I'.
ENDTRY.

Update database outside SAP using Abap program

Hi guys, I have the following scenario:
Today, I have an abap program that calls a RFC to update a database outside SAP using Business Connector.
The problem is that I won't be allowed to use Business Conncetor (and can't use XI too) to access the outside database (SQL Server 05).
Is possible to update the SQL Server 05 from an Abap program without a Java based connector? Because my main problem is that I can't use Java...
Thank you
Robert

How to store data into database by reading sql statements from text file

how to write java program for storing data into database by reading sql statements from text file

Step 1: Create a property file to add various queries.
Step 2: Read the properties file using ResourceBundle
Step 3: Use the jdbc to execute the query read from the property file.
So in future if you need to change query no need do any modifications in java program. But depends on how you use the property file.
