Report Builder 2.0 returning duplicate rows in query designer

Hi,
I have a query running off a model, when I explore the data in the model and in a standard sql table it returns one row for each record, which include a unique id for each which is correct.
When I go into report builder query designer, it shows duplicate rows for each record. I have removed and added fields to try and pin point why and the only reason i can come up with is that it runs fine until I add in a field thats varchar(255) or
varchar(max). This is when it starts to duplicate the records.
Can anyone tell me why it does this or point me in the direction of how to stop this. I can't edit the query in text to add DISTINCT so thats not an option.
Many thanks,
JJSJ

OK - I have found a partial answer.   By Googling Report Builder and VARCHAR, I found another post which reported problems with the semantic query builder when the underlying table/view was returning columns of type VARCHAR(MAX).
On looking at the length setting for the data column in the DSV, this reported a length of 2,147,483,647 for this field.   This is very odd because on querying the underlying table the largest length that I can find for this column is 191,086
(which is far larger than I would have expected - I am investigating this separately).
However, why should the Report Model think that this field contains such a large value?
Anyway, the other post that I found reported that they had solved their problem by converting the field to a VARCHAR (255).    I tried this (by casting the column in my View to VARCHAR(255)) and this resolved the problem
- no more duplicate rows when adding this field to the query!!!
I also tried CASTING to TEXT and to VARCHAR(8000). The former did not resolve the problem; the latter did.
So I have a workaround but I don't understand why.
Can anybody explain why having a VARCHAR(max) column in my entity causes duplicate rows.
I suspect it is to do with the fact that for some reason the Report Model seems to think that there is an exceptionally long text string stored in this column in one of the rows but that again is a puzzle.
Thanks

Inserting empty row in query designer

Crystal report returning duplicate rows - Linking issue?

Hello,
I know this is a commonly brought up issue - that duplicate rows are returned in Crystal reports for various reasons. In a lot of instances, where it's only a single row of data per case that I'm looking for, I'll move them to their own group. But that solution doesn't work here.
The tables and links used in the simple report I have are illustrated in the attached "Report Database Expert Links.jpg" file, and the conditions and report fields required as as follows:
Select Expert conditions:
{CLAIM_PERIODS.CPE_START_DATE} < Today and
{CLAIM_PERIODS.CPE_END_DATE} > Today and
{CLAIM_ROLES.CRO_START_DATE} < Today and
IsNull({CLAIM_ROLES.CRO_END_DATE})
Report Design fields (in Details section):
CLAIMS.CLA_REFNO, CLAIM_ROLES.CRT_CODE, PARTIES.PAR_PER_FORENAME, PARTIES.PAR_PER_SURNAME
So what this report is to do:
It looks for benefit claims which are live (have a CLAIM_PERIODS.CPE_START_DATE prior to today, and CLAIM_PERIODS.CPE_END_DATE after today), and for these claims gives a breakdown of all people in the household (everyone associated with that claim, where CLAIM_ROLES.START DATE is prior to today, and end date is null - to pick out those who are currently active in the household).
This works fine otherwise, but the issue is that each live claim can have either one or two rows present in CLAIM_PARTS and CLAIM_PERIODS (so could satisfy my first two conditions twice). For claims with only a single claim part active, I get each household member listed once. But when they have two claim parts active, I get eveyone listed twice.
Is there a way - either in how I'm linking the tables up, or how I'm arranging the report design, that I can have every household member only appear once no matter how many related rows there are in CLAIM_PARTS and CLAIM_PERIODS?
Many thanks in advance,
Sami
P.S. I don't seem to be allowed to attache image files to my post, but have embedded the content instead:

Thank you very much Don - this is a feature I wasn't aware of previously, and is a big step in the right direction for me. Really useful.
In the report mentioned, this sort of works. It works very well on individual fields - so I could just "Suppress If Duplicated" on the forename and then remove duplicates on that column when exported to Excel (or simply bring in a unique field such as the party reference number and do likewise).
However, is there a way to get Crystal to do this for me? So to suppress the whole line based on whether or not I'm suppressing this one field?
Just applying "Suppress If Duplicated" to all fields at once seems to have slightly unpredictable behaviour - not suppressing every field in the row. So I experimented a bit with using the "Suppress" tick to do this, then applying a formula to it. But the closest I can get for the formula is something like:
- {PARTIES.PAR_PER_FORENAME} = previous({PARTIES.PAR_PER_FORENAME}) and
{PARTIES.PAR_PER_SURNAME} = previous({PARTIES.PAR_PER_SURNAME}) and
Which will only compare the current row with previous. Is there a way to do the same comparison but with all previous rows?

Returning Duplicate Rows

Hi. I'm working on this query, and I'm having problems. When I add an inner join, I start getting multiple rows returned.
What I want returned is ONLY the first row below, but I'm instead getting both rows (which are identical).
SALESMAN_NO | CUSTOMER_NO | ORDER | SALES | COGS | MARGIN
97 | 1306969000 | 00477023 | 517.40 | 298.20 | 219.18
97 | 1306969000 | 00477023 | 517.40 | 298.20 | 219.18
Here's my query. And when I add the inner joins, I get the 2nd row above. If I run the SAME query without the inner joins, I get the 1 and only 1 row - which is what I'm trying to get to. Getting this 2nd row is screwing up the SUM functions I'm ultimately trying to use.
SELECT
SOE.SALESMAN_NO AS [SALESMAN],
SOE.CUSTOMER_NO AS [CUSTOMER #],
(SOE.SALE_ORDER_NO) AS [ORDERS],
(SOE.SALES_AMT/100) AS [SALES],
(SOE.COST_GOODS_SOLD/100) AS [COGS],
((SOE.SALES_AMT/100) - (SOE.COST_GOODS_SOLD/100)) AS [MARGIN]
FROM
SOE_HEADER SOE
INNER JOIN CUST_NAME CUST
ON SOE.CUSTOMER_NO = CUST.CUSTOMER_NO
INNER JOIN OUTSIDE_SALES OUTSIDE
ON CUST.SALESMAN_NO = OUTSIDE.SALESMAN_NO
WHERE
SOE.SALESMAN_NO <> '83'
AND SOE.TYPE_OF_ORDER = '00'
AND SOE.ORDERS_STATUS = '06'
AND SOE.DATE_OF_ORDER > 20080101
AND SOE.TYPE_OF_FRGHT IN ('13','14')
AND SOE.CUSTOMER_NO = '1306969000'
I've looked at the data and at this query for about an hour now, and need some help. Thanks.

If you want to get the distinct rows only in this SELECT then you may use DISTINCT. ie replace the table with a query
,(Select Distinct SALESMAN_NO,CUSTOMER_NO, ORDER SALES ,COGS , MARGIN From YourTableName) AS AliasName

Hi,
Could you please provide some more information.
if you have characteristics iobject whose values are (A, B etc) and calendar month in rows and then at column level you have key figures then if you have turn on the "Display Result Rows" property of both iobject in Bex as "Always" you can get the result. At the same time you can set "Display Overall result" property of the Query to get overall result.

DB / Integation adapter returning duplicate rows on select [not all rows]

I am seeing some unusal behavior, we have Application adapter invoking BEPL and which invokes DB adapter to make a select call to ERP database. Select should return 2 different records, where as in the response xml it has same record [only first record] listed twice. On DB adapter wsdl, -"Return Single Resultset " is unchecked. Should this be checked? or is there any other reason why the first record may be cached. I have not seen this in other connectors, restarted server but still same issue. connector is in prod environment. Any help/ideas are welcome.

Can you tell us more about the options you have selected in the Adapter to select the records ?

Hi Ian,
Sorry for the delay in replying, was stuck due to some Internet connectivity issues. Coming to the problem, I solved it myself, by changing the Running Total conditions when to evaluate and and when to reset. And my required O/P was:

Business Objects is not returning all rows from Query

We set the rowcount to 1000000 and the business objects query only returns 16,960 rows. We then uncheck the limit for the rowcount and the first run of the query returns 65,535. The subsequent run of the query returns all the rows which is greater than 65,535. We are on release 6.1A of business objects and selecting from Microsoft SQLServer 2005 in 2000 compatablility mode. We noticed that the rowcount being sent to SQLServer is replacing the set number with the 65,535 the first time the query is sent and subsiquent queries have the correct rowcount set. What would be causing the rowcount to be reset and how can it be fixed?

Duplicate rows in query

Hi,
I am writing a query as below :-
select T0.Cardname as Customer, T0.ShiptoCode, T0.docnum as Ref, T1.Itemcode as Product, T1.SubCatNum As [Catalogue Number], CAST(CAST(T1.U_Packages as int) as nvarchar (20)) + ' x ' + CAST ((T1.U_Package) as nvarchar(20)) as Package,T0.docdate as [Date of Order],T0.U_ReqDate as [Req Date], T0.docduedate as 'Date Despatched', T2.Name as Haulier, T0.U_Actions As Actions
from ordr T0
Inner JOIN rdr1 T1 on T0.docentry = T1.docentry
Left JOIN [dbo].[@BCHAULIERS] T2 ON T0.U_Haulier=T2.Code
Where T0.U_DelCountry = 'United Kingdom' AND T0.U_Dispatched = 'N' and T0.canceled <> 'Y'
This works fine, but I also need to link to the OPDT table as this is where out Customer notes are stored. As soon as I try and link to this, the rows are duplicating. I tried to link via the CRD1 table as each customers notes from the Predefined Text are stored against individual ship to addresses, and then linking CRD1 to OPDT.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
Thank you.

Good Morning
This is the original query.
select T0.Cardname as Customer, T0.ShiptoCode, T0.docnum as Ref, T1.Itemcode as Product, T1.SubCatNum As [Catalogue Number], CAST(CAST(T1.U_Packages as int) as nvarchar (20)) + ' x ' + CAST ((T1.U_Package) as nvarchar(20)) as Package,T0.docdate as [Date of Order],T0.U_ReqDate as [Req Date], T0.docduedate as 'Date Despatched', T2.Name as Haulier, T0.U_Actions As Actions

Inner JOIN rdr1 T1 on T0.docentry = T1.docentry
Left JOIN [dbo].[@BCHAULIERS] T2 ON T0.U_Haulier=T2.Code
Where T0.U_DelCountry = 'United Kingdom' AND T0.U_Dispatched = 'N' and T0.canceled <> 'Y'
We have notes against each customers shipto address which I need to appear on the report. So I tried to add table OCRD joined to CRD1, then OPDT linked to CRD1 using CRD1.U_delnotes on OPDT.textcode, but as soon as I did this, rows were duplicated - I was using an inner join.
Thanks

Oracle 10G and UCCX 5.0 Database Connection return 0 rows on query

Currently I have an issue with UCCX 5.0 and Oracle 10G, we need to access a table on an Oracle10G DB, form IP IVR, so I installed the driver, created the ODBC connection and declared the ODBC, user and password on the Database subsystem (name on UCCX match the ODBC name) and restarted the engine.
Im trying to do simple select statement (SELECT * FROM TABLE) and I'm getting a 0 count once I test it.

Hi,
I see it has been a while since you posted this question, but I am having exactly the same problem with an Oracle integration and I was wondering if you were able to fix this and how.
Your reply will be greatly appreciated.

Using CLOBs in oracle Report Builder

I want to select all the data in a CLOB column using SQL Navigator by just doing
select entry_note
from chartentries;
just as you say in your example by it just gives me back a result of (ORACLOB).
If I do
select to_char(entry_note)
from chartentries;
I get this error.
If I do
select dbms_lob.substr(entry_note,4000,1)
from chartentries
I get this (there’s more up to 32000 characters in a clob) and these weird squares which I think are CR (carriage returns) or LF (line feeds). I don’t want to see those characters and I would like to retrieve the entire CLOB in one swoop without doing data manipulations of substringing.
Using the same data in Oracle Report Builder, I want to select all the data in a CLOB column into a field in a Paper report layout but I keep getting errors, ora-6502, and I've found out that I am restricted to 4000 characters and in Report 9i it looks like the largest field you can have is 4000 characters. My CLOB information can be up to 32000 characters long or longer and I do not want to substring out 4000 characters at a time into separate fields. In Crystal reports there is no problem just selecting the clob in a simple query and it is there in one shot. I would have thought by now that Oracle would have changed its development tools to be able to handle Clobs simply without any manipulation. Does anyone know how to do this in Report builder? I just have a simple query:
select entry_datetime,
to_char(replace((entry_note),chr(13))) as entry_note
from chartentries
where patient_id = 49741
Another thing I want to do, is call this Oracle report from a PL/SQL block passing several parameters to the report and also call a Crystal report from a PL/SQL block passing several parameters to the report. Does anyone know what the commands are?

What I had to do is create a query using query builder. This works fine; it's when trying to add the column to an existing query is where the data inconstancy error occurs. One thing you have to keep in mind is it will only work using the query builder in conjunction with the report wizard; I am not sure why. To incorporate the comments into an existing frame you will have to cut the frame created by the wizards and copy it into the existing frame. Otherwise the column name will not show in the source list of the property Inspector.
Good Luck
