Recursive Java programming method for executing recursive SQL queries

Anybody has a Java/JDBC example method to execute recursive SQL queries and print results? The method has to work for any number of queries and levels and the first query passes the parameter to the second query.

Guys, the problem what I am trying to solve is much more complex and I don’t think SQL level recursion is enough. I am looking for Java solution with SQL queries in it to make it more flexible and DB independent.
If you want to do recursion in SQL then it has nothing to do with Java.
And if you want to do recursion in Java then the idiom itself has nothing to do with SQL.
Other than that you have provided enough detail for anyone to even guess at what you are asking.
As a start I am not even sure that you understand what recursion is nor how JDBC works. (But it could be that you are using the terms to mean something else.)
And looking at your original post it could be nothing more than that you are looking for a design pattern - perhaps the interpreter.

Java programming guide for Sun ONE

Where can I find the "Sun ONE LDAP SDK for Java Programming Guide" for version 5.2. ?
I have the programming guide for Netscape Directory SDK 4.0 for Java. Will that do?
Thanks for your help.
[email protected]

this to also create and manage the LDAP groups. We
are using the Sun ONE 5.2 LDAP directory server. Are
there significant advantages to using JNDI over the
SunONE directory SDK, or vice versa?JNDI (bundled with J2SE) in combination with the Booster Pack release version 1.0, provides API support for accessing both static and dynamic Groups. It also provides API support for the new extensions and controls that are made available in Sun ONE DS 5.2.
The Booster Pack can be downloaded from:
http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/
You can also check the LDAP trail of the JNDI Tutorial that contains detailed descriptions and examples of how to use JNDI . It is available at:

There are several ways to do what you are wanting, but you should consider posting your question in the correct forum (PL/SQL). This forum is for question about Oracle Forms! :)
As to your question, take a look at this: How to output query results as HTML.

Accessing oracle DB from a java program - question for oracle driver

Hi,
I have Oracle 10 G under vista on my desktop. I am trying to write a simple java program to access/update database tables. I saw in one of oracle example to import 2 packages - namely --- import oracle.jdbc.driver.*; import oracle.sql.*;
Where do I find these 2 packages. Also I read some documentation to download drivers. I would like to use 2 drivers, the thin driver and the OCI driver. Can someone tell me where I can find these drivers and where do I copy these two drivers - so javac and java command can recognize it.
I will greatly appreciate the help. Julia

You can download the drivers from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html.
Note that oracle.jdbc.driver is desupported after 10.2, http://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=201, so you might want to consider using a DataSource to provide Connections.

How to get the time for executing an SQL statement?

hi all...
How can I get the total execution time for a given SQL statement to a ViewObject which is created dynamically for this SQL so that the end user knows it before hand and try to stop it or go further..?
Please post any ideas if you have got..!!!
thanx in advance..

This is not really a question for the JDeveloper forum, but rather for the DB forum.
Since Oracle9i there is a way to estimate how long a query will take, before executing it.
Check it out in the Oracle DB documentation or ask on the DB forum.
There is no built-in functionality for this in JDeveloper, but you should be able to call out to the DB from your Java code to get the estimate.

Desktop java program: wait for page to load

We're using a macro-builder which records actions and re-executes them via a java program. Basically, the program is supposed to open IE, go to a page, enter a username and password, and click a link within the new page that comes up after login. The issue at hand is that the second page takes too long to load, and the recorded "click" in the macro occurs to soon. Is there any way to identify when the page has completed loading before the app continues?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Is there any way to identify when the page has
completed loading before the app continues?Not in Java. Probably not even in Visual Basic (I wrote some VB programs that attempted to do that sort of thing several years ago and they never worked properly).

Please sugges the link helpful for writing efficient sql queries

Please suggest any good resource that is weblink which can help me in optimizing sql queries. especially while writing select statements improve the execution time of the sql query.
Thanx in advance
prasanth

in general I found books from O'Reilly very helpful (not only for Oracle, but for Unix too).
Moreover there is pretty good Oracle Documentation available.
After all, it's not only about writing good queries, but also about setting up data-models, indexes, primary keys, etc.
Look for a real slow computer, take a lot of data, then try writing your speedy queries. This is the school of hard knocks, on the long run it's the best training.

RRMX for executing and creating queries

Hi,
I have some users which are able only to create queries and another group which are only able to execute them.
Which auth object and values should I consider in order to distinguish these 2 roles?
Thanks and regards
FedeX

Hello, Firstly, may I suggest that the subject is misleading for the question asked.
Transaction RRMX only excute the BEX analyzer add in.
In BI/BW the authorization objects that govern whether the user is authorized to display/ execute / create / change queries are S_RS_COMP and S_RS_COMP1.
Both these objects work in tandem. Where as S_RS_COMP covers the infocube, info area authorizations along with activity and Report IDs, S_RS_COMP1 covers the authorization to execute reports (queries) created by author /Owner (SAP username). example: If the owner field in S_RS_COMP1 has user ID PTERRY01, a user who is assigned the role containing this authorization will only be able to execute queries created by the user PTERRY01.
Standard Activities 03, 16 allow the user to display / execute reports while 01,02 determine whether the user can create / change reports and if he can, what reports example: If the acitivty 01 is combined with report ID Y*, the user can only create queries whose names start with Y.
And please note, RRMX (Bex analyzer) does not allow you to create queries, Query designer does (link from BEX Analyzer opens up Designer).

Prashant
