REG COLUMN

Hi,
Is there a way that we count the number of columns present in a table.
Count(*) - provided the number of rows in a table.
How too count the number of columns for a table. Any advices please
Cheers
Kumar

This?:
select count(*) from all_tab_cols where owner=YOUR_OWNER and table_name=YOUR_TABLE_NAME and hidden_column='NO'

Reg:column name

Hi,
I have column names like this
OR_LOG.LOG_ID , POSTOP_TABLE.POSTOP_DIAG , POSTOP_TABLE.NO_POSTOP
so can i write a query like this
select ol.log_id , pt.postop_diag , pt.no_postop from table;

You can do. For this you need to specify the table alias. For example...
select t1.col1, t1.col2, t2.col1, t2.col2 from table t1, table t2-Ammad

Reg : Column Size -

Hi All,
I've got a doubt regarding alter the column size.
There's a table column which is currently 255 and I want to increase it to max i.e. 4000 Char
It is used in many places by various objects - Procs/Packages/Triggers/Views...
Is it advisable to use Varchar2(4000Char) or using LONG or CLOBS??
If I use LONG/CLOB now, will it affect the existing objects since they believe the column to be VARCHAR2...?
Help highly appreciated.

There's a table column which is currently 255 and I want to increase it to max i.e. 4000 CharBe aware, the Maximum is 4000 bytes not char. If your database is using a multi byte character set, the maximum could actually be as small as 1000 characters (if you have 4 bytes per character).
It is used in many places by various objects - Procs/Packages/Triggers/Views...
Is it advisable to use Varchar2(4000Char) or using LONG or CLOBS??Never use LONG. the LONG datatype was deprecated over a decade ago. If you're needing to store large amounts of text, use CLOB.
If I use LONG/CLOB now, will it affect the existing objects since they believe the column to be VARCHAR2...?It's one of those "it depends" answers, because it depends what the code is doing with it. It's not so much a case of the code/objects believing it to be varchar2, but whether that code or objects can do implicit conversions without issue. If it's just a case of something inserting into it, believing it's a varchar2, then it would work ok e.g.
SQL> create table mytable (x clob);
Table created.
SQL> insert into mytable (x) values ('This is my varchar string');
1 row created.The problem would obviously be if there is code that is reading the data into a varchar2 variable or datatype and the data exceeds the 4000 byte limit, in which case you will get issues.
The best way to look at is is... Yes, it will effect existing code/objects, and you need to carry out an impact analysis to see where and how it's used.

Reg Column wrapup

Hi all,
I have a requirement wherein i need to wrapup the text after 30 characters, i have used the following code in Iterator- Get_Column_Definition
tv_column-COLUMNNAME = 'COMMENTS'.
tv_column-edit        = 'X'.
tv_column-sort        = 'X'.
tv_column-TITLE       = 'COMMENTS'.
tv_column-WIDTH = '30'.
tv_column-WRAPPING = 'X'.
But i could not see any result. Here i want the visible length of the field as 30.
Can anyone suggest?
Thanks and Regards,

Reg:How to delete the column in table control also from database table.

Hi Experts,
Once again thank u all for giving the responses.
one more doubt is how to delete the columns of table control and also the record shold delete from ztable.
With Regards,
Saroja.P.

Hi,
If you want to delete the rows in the table control and simultaneously delete it from the database table, then you can implement a 'DELETE' functionality specific to your table control. Have a MARK field (you will find that in the screen attributes of the table control -> give a name for the MARK field, you will find an additional MARK column at the beginning of your table control). You can check whatever rows you want to delete from the table control, call the delete module.
"This portion of code inside the LOOP...ENDLOOP.
IF sy-ucomm eq 'F_DELETE'.
gt_itab2-check = mark. " Store the MARK field status into your internal table's correspoding field 'check'
MODIFY gt_itab INDEX tabcontrol-current_line.
ENDIF.
iF sy-ucomm eq 'DELETE1'.
DELETE gt_itab WHERE check eq 'X'. "Your internal table does not have rows that you want to delete
ENDIF.
Now you can modify your database table using the MODIFY statement.
MODIFY ZDB FROM TABLE gt_itab.

Hi Vino,
The process for downloading into excel with correct columns can be done in many ways
I suggest you to read the following and then go about for a trial and error and in case you find difficulty revert back
After generating a report, it is possible to export it into Microsoft Excel and/or Microsoft Word using three different options. Each of these options saves the file in a slightly different format. Before using any of these options, you have to set the macro security in your Office products to medium.
Within your Office program, follow the menu path Tools > Macro > Security. Select the Medium security setting. Then click the Trusted Sources tab and ensure all the check boxes are selected. Click OK to save the changes. For the best results, ensure your Office program is closed before performing any of the following actions.
Save to Local File
Using this export option will retain all of the formatting that you may have done to the report in SAP, such
as moving columns, setting filters and sorts, etc., but will not retain any of the color or font formatting in
SAP, unless you choose the HTML option.
1. Click (Local file). The Save list in file... box will open.
2. Choose the desired file type in which to save the file.
u2022 unconverted - tab-delimited file not associated with a program
u2022 Spreadsheet - Microsoft Excel file
u2022 Rich text format - Microsoft Word file
u2022 HTML format - HTML file. This option adds some formatting, which will make it display
similiar to the report in SAP.
3. Click (Continue). The Transfer DAT to a Local File box will open.
4. The default location in which to save the file is your "SAPWorkDir" folder. Click (Search) to
choose another location.
5. Enter your file name at the end of the path and use the proper extension associated with the file
type you chose in step 2.
u2022 unconverted - none
u2022 Spreadsheet - .xls
u2022 Rich text format - .rtf
u2022 HTML format - .html
6. Click . The message "XXX Bytes transferred" will display, indicating that your file was
successful exported.
Exporting to Microsoft Excel
Using this export option will not retain any of the formatting that you applied in SAP, such as moving
columns, setting filters and sorts, etc. However, it does add a colored background and heading and
retains the proper column width.
1. Click (Spreadsheet...). An Information box will open advising you that any formatting you have
applied in SAP will not be exported with the data.
2. Click (Continue). The Export list object to XXL box will open.
3. Choose Table and click (Continue).
4. Click (Continue) again.
5. Excel will open with the report displayed. You can now format the report and save it as necessary.
6. In SAP, an Information box opens stating that you should save the data in the spreadsheet. As
soon as you click (Continue), the report in Excel closes, so be sure you have saved it if
necessary before doing so.
Opening Microsoft Excel within SAP
This export option will actually open Microsoft Excel within SAP, allowing you to use any of the formatting
or calculation features available in Excel along with the SAP tools. However, modifying the data in the
Excel spreadsheet within SAP will not change the actual data in SAP itself.
1. Click (Change layout...). The Change layout box will open.
2. Click the View tab.
3. Choose the Excel option.
4. Click on sap_om.xls in the Template list that displays on the right side of the box.
5. Click (Transfer).
6. Microsoft Excel will open in the window where the report data was displayed. You can now use all
of the options within Microsoft Excel and SAP to format and manipulate the data as necessary.
7. To save the file, follow the Excel menu path File > Save Copy As.
8. To close Excel, click (Change layout...), click the View tab, choose the Grid option, and click
(Transfer).
Exporting to Microsoft Word
Using this option will not retain any of the formatting that you applied in SAP, such as moving columns,
setting filters and sorts, etc., and it will export the data in a table within Word.
1. Click (Word Processing...). The Word Processor Settings box will open.
2. Choose the Create Document option and select Include Colors and/or Start MS Word if desired.
3. Click (Continue). The Transfer RTF to a Local File box will open.
4. The default location in which to save the file is your "SAPWorkDir" folder. Click (Search) to
choose another location.
5. Enter the file name at the end of the path and add the extension .rtf.
6. Click .
7. If you chose the option to have Word open, it will now open with the data displayed.

Reg: read excel column and insert into table.

hi Friends,
      i wanted to read the data from Excel and insert into in my oracle tables.
      can you provide the link or example script.
    how to read the column value from excel and insert into table.
please help.

< unnecessary reference to personal blog removed by moderator >
Here are the steps:
1) First create a directory and grant read , write , execute to the user from where you want to access the flat files and load it.
2) Write a generic function to load PIPE delimited flat files:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION TABLE_LOAD ( p_table in varchar2,
p_dir in varchar2 DEFAULT ‘YOUR_DIRECTORY_NAME’,
P_FILENAME in varchar2,
p_ignore_headerlines IN INTEGER DEFAULT 1,
p_delimiter in varchar2 default ‘|’,
p_optional_enclosed in varchar2 default ‘”‘ )
return number
is
– FUNCTION TABLE_LOAD
– PURPOSE: Load the flat files i.e. only text files to Oracle
– tables.
– This is a generic function which can be used for
– importing any text flat files to oracle database.
– PARAMETERS:
– P_TABLE
– Pass name of the table for which import has to be done.
– P_DIR
– Name of the directory where the file is been placed.
– Note: The grant has to be given for the user to the directory
– before executing the function
– P_FILENAME
– The name of the flat file(a text file)
– P_IGNORE_HEADERLINES
– By default we are passing 1 to skip the first line of the file
– which are headers on the Flat files.
– P_DELIMITER
– Dafault “|” pipe is been passed.
– P_OPTIONAL_ENCLOSED
– Optionally enclosed by ‘ ” ‘ are been ignored.

‘.txt’,
‘_’ || TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, ‘DD_MON_RRRR_HH24_MI_SS_AM’) || ‘.txt’
commit;
RETURN L_ROWCOUNT;
end TABLE_LOAD;
Note: when you run the function then it will also modify the source flat file with timestamp , so that we can have the track like which file was loaded .
3) Check if the user is having UTL_FILE privileges or not :
SQL> SELECT OWNER,
OBJECT_TYPE
FROM ALL_OBJECTS
WHERE OBJECT_NAME = ‘UTL_FILE’
AND OWNER =<>;
If the user is not having the privileges then grant “UTL_FILE” to user from SYS user:
SQL> GRANT EXECUTE ON UTL_FILE TO <>;
4) In the function I have used two tables like:
import_hist table and badlog table to track the history of the load and another to check the bad log if it occurs while doing the load .
Under the same user create an error log table to log the error out records while doing the import:
SQL> CREATE TABLE badlog
errm VARCHAR2(4000),
data VARCHAR2(4000) ,
error_date TIMESTAMP
Under the same user create Load history table to log the details of the file and tables that are imported with a track of records loaded:
SQL> create table IMPORT_HIST
FILENAME varchar2(200),
TABLE_NAME varchar2(200),
NUM_OF_REC number,
IMPORT_DATE DATE
5) Finally run the PLSQL block and check if it is loading properly or not if not then check the badlog:
Execute the PLSQL block to import the data from the USER:
SQL> declare
P_TABLE varchar2(200):=<>;
P_DIR varchar2(200):=<>;
P_FILENAME VARCHAR2(200):=<>;
v_Return NUMBER;
BEGIN
v_Return := TABLE_LOAD(
P_TABLE => P_TABLE,
P_DIR => P_DIR,
P_FILENAME => P_FILENAME,
P_IGNORE_HEADERLINES => P_IGNORE_HEADERLINES,
P_DELIMITER => P_DELIMITER,
P_OPTIONAL_ENCLOSED => P_OPTIONAL_ENCLOSED
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(‘v_Return = ‘ || v_Return);
end;
6) Once the PLSQL block is been executed then check for any error log table and also the target table if the records are been successfully imported or not.

Reg: Rows_Processed column in v$SQLAREA

Hi all,
I had a request to check the rows processed while an insert statement is running in the database.
Can anyone clarify me on this from v$sqlarea (rows_processed) is it possible to get the rows processed till that time.
As i am in thinking that it depends on how application has commit transactions.
Can any one throw some light on this request...
Thanks in advance...
Satya G

Hi,
Rows_processed column of v$sql gives the count of total rows that has been processed whether it is committed or not committed. It gives the sum of rows processed by the query even if some of the transaction has been rollbacked.
I suppose you are looking for USED_UREC in v$transaction.

Reg BSP table column title

Hi All,

The table field titles are defined and comes by default. From where does the sap table title text is coming. Here can we now update to display the new title for one of the new table field.
Thanks in advance. Please let me know if you need any further details.
From
Reddy.

Hi Readdy,
The column title of the BSP application comes from each data-element's field label of your table columns.
For example, let us assume that internal table contains two columns, say
col1 type char10
col2 type char50
where,
col1 and col2 are column names of the internal table and
char10 and char50 are data elements associated with col1 and col2 respectively.
Now when you display this structure in a table view then by default the title is got from the data element. The field label in the data element is used for this purpose.
In our example, the char10 field label is blank and char50 filed label is 'c'. So by default the col1 title will be blank and col2 title will be 'c'. (Don't worry i have cross-checked it).
There are three ways where you could give your own title
1. Provide a correct data element to the columns with correct field labels.
2. Change the BSP code by providing the title as given below,
<%@page language="abap"%>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb"%>
<htmlb:content design="design2003">
<htmlb:page title = "Table view column defult title text ">
    <htmlb:form>
        <htmlb:tableView id="tv1" table="<%= itab %>">
        <htmlb:tableViewColumns>
        <htmlb:tableViewColumn columnName="col1" title="Column 1"></htmlb:tableViewColumn>
        <htmlb:tableViewColumn columnName="col2" title="Column 2"></htmlb:tableViewColumn>
        </htmlb:tableViewColumns>
        </htmlb:tableView>
    </htmlb:form>
</htmlb:page>
</htmlb:content>
3. To implement a iterator for this table view and change the title. (This has loads of features in order to modify the table view display).
Hope it helps! Please search in the sdn forums for more intresting ways of using the tableview tag. As suggested by SAP Mentor Graham Robinson, please look into the example BSP application for more information.

Maheswaran

Reg: Nullable column search

Hi all,
I have a table DIAGNOSIS which has a QDESC as a nullable column.
columns DIAGCODE and SDESC are not nullable.
I have written a Stored Procedure to retrieve records from DIAGNOSIS table based on the columns values specified.
p_<column_name> indicates the parameter passed to the Stored Procedure
The correspong SQL statement goes as follows.
SELECT * FROM DIAGNOSIS
WHERE
UPPER(DIAGCODE) LIKE
(CASE WHEN LENGTH(p_DIAGCODE) > 0 THEN '%' || UPPER(p_DIAGCODE) || '%' ELSE '%' END)
AND UPPER(SDESC) LIKE
(CASE WHEN LENGTH(p_SDESC) > 0 THEN '%' || UPPER(p_SDESC) || '%' ELSE '%' END)
-- QDESC is a nullable field; but the following logic doesnt work :-(
AND UPPER(QDESC) LIKE
(CASE WHEN LENGTH(p_QDESC) > 0 THEN '%' || UPPER(p_QDESC) || '%' ELSE '%' END)
Sample data of the table is as follows.
DIAGCODE SDESC QDESC
123 DESC 1 AAA
123 DESC 2
123 DESC 3 BBB
123 DESC 4
When I use the above query to find records with DIAGCODE as 123, I get
DIAGCODE SDESC QDESC
123 DESC 1 AAA
123 DESC 3 BBB
i.e QDESC with null values are not displayed.
How am I supposed to modify the query to get the correct result?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks n Regards,
Tanuja

Let's assume the formal parameter is called p_column_name.
The actual content of that parameter is 'DIAGCODE' or 'Q_DESC' or whatever.
In static sql
you can only have
<column_name> = <constant>
and <constant> can be replaced by a bind variable.
This construct
select *
from <table>
where p_column_name is null
is not going to work, as there is no p_column_name in that table.
This construct
declare
dynstr varchar2(100);
p_dummy varchar2(100);
p_column_name varchar2(30);
begin
p_column_name := 'bar';
dynstr := 'select bar from foo where '||p_column_name||' is null';
execute immediate dynstr into p_dummy;
end;
although silly dummy code is going to work.
