Retrieving values from Database in Excel Task Pane App

So far,
I created a website with a database on Azure, I then published my App to Azure. My problem is that I'm not sure how I retrieve values from the database (in SQL: SELECT * FROM EXAMPLE_TABLE WHERE date = str). If someone could provide me with sample code,
that would be amazing! :D
It would also be very helpful if anyone knew a method to automatically update the database using information from a xml stream on another website, once a day.
Thank you!

Hi,
>> My problem is that I'm not sure how I retrieve values from the database
You can use jquery ajax call to call your webserivce or REST API, which will query the database and return a json result.
Sample:
Apps for Office: Create a web service using the ASP.NET Web API
>> It would also be very helpful if anyone knew a method to automatically update the database using information from a xml stream on another website
For the database sync-up question, I suggest you posting them on the forums like SQL Server Forum.
Thanks for your understanding.

How to display checkbox that retrieve value from database?

Hi,
I have a problem, hope someone will help me.
The problem is, I have 3 checkbox where contain different values.
I will insert the values to db in array. When I retrieve the values, I got a problem to display it.
Let say,my checkbox's value is:
1.car
2.bus
3.lorry
when I checked car and lorry, my array will be [car,bus] insert to db.
For editing purpose, I need to display the checkbox again with the values from db. So, it should be :
1.car (checked)
2.bus (checked)
3.lorry (unchecked)
I can display the car and bus (checked) , but not the unchecked checkbox. Sometimes, it's repeating, car (checked) and car (unchecked) will display.
Anybody have a suggestion?
My codes:
String[] list = {"car","bus","lorry"};
String[] logtype ={"car","bus"}//retrieve from db (example)
for (int i=0;i<logtype.length;i++){
if (logtype.equals(list[i]){
<input type="checkbox" name="type" value="<%=list[i]%>" checked>
else{
<input type="checkbox" name="type" value="<%=list[i]%>" >

hey u can solve this problem by using vector instead of array
here's the code
<%
Vector list=new Vector();
list.addElement("car");
list.addElement("bus");
list.addElement("lorry");
Vector logtype=new Vector();
logtype.addElement("car");
logtype.addElement("bus");
for(int i=0;i<list.size();i++)
     if(logtype.contains(list.elementAt(i)))
     { %>
          <%=list.elementAt(i)%><input type="checkbox" name="type" value="<%=list.elementAt(i)%>" checked>
     <%}
     else
     {%>
          <%=list.elementAt(i)%><input type="checkbox" name="type" value="<%=list.elementAt(i)%>" >
     <%}
%>

Retrieve values from database

Hi,
one of the search form contains the select option for country , state and
distributor type.
the country drop down has 2 values - US and canada
the conditions needed to be satisfied are :
(1) if the country selected is US - then the states dropdown should only show the states that are associated with US in the table in the database(TABLE name is - "distributors")
and if country selected is Canada - then should show states in canada only
(2) if canada is selected in the country dropdown, the distributor type which has 2 values - stationary and automotive - should show only the stationary in the dropdown and not show the automotive
This is done with the LocateQueryServlet.java...can someone please tell me how this needs to be updates so that the above conditions are satisfied...

Thanks in advance

I thank you for the link, it's something I've already done several times ....
actually this code tries to manage a key incremental, I am obliged to do that because I am in MS SQL Server and therefore what works for oracle does not work for SQL Server, which is why I want to do it manual, I also posted this in a previous post and I was asked to retrieve the field value by Code: Help please : dbsequence refresh on MS sql server
now admitting that it is not what I want to do and I have the following code:
if (it1.getValue () == null) (
Connection connection = ConnectionManager.getInstance (). GetConnection ();
Statement statement = connection.createStatement ();
ResultSet resultset = statement.executeQuery ("SELECT id FROM WHERE name = spider" it2.getValue + () + "");
while (resultSet.next ())
it1.setValue (resultSet.getInt (1));
BindingContainer getBindings bindings = ();
OperationBinding operationBinding bindings.getOperationBinding = ("Commit");
OperationBinding.execute Object result = ();
if (! operationBinding.getErrors (). isEmpty ()) (
return null;
else (
BindingContainer bindings2 getBindings = ();
OperationBinding operationBinding2 bindings2.getOperationBinding = ("Commit");
OperationBinding2.execute Object result = ();
if (! operationBinding2.getErrors (). isEmpty ()) (
return null;
What code ADF BC I will put in place of jdbc code

Retrieving values from a table

Hi all,
I need to retrieve values from CSKS-KOSTL for values containing the pattern entered by the user. For example, if the user enters 1, need to retrieve all the KOSTL values starting with 1. But when i write a SELECT statement mentioning where kostl in '1', it is ignoring all the values like (0000001, 00001034, 0012334, and others). Only values starting with 1 is only retrieved as this is a character field and due to conversion routine, zeroes are prefixed while storing in the database.
Could any one let me know how to retrieve the values from the database in this situation?

If you want to use IN operator in your where clause then you should define a range variable(R_KOSTL) which refers to CSKS=KOSTL and populate the range as below
R_KOSTL-SIGN = 'I'.
R_KOSTL-OPTION = 'CP'.
R_KOSTL-LOW = '1*'.
APPEND R_KOSTL.
and then write your select statement as .... WHERE kostl IN r_kostl.
The approach suggested by Amit should also work fine.
Thanks

List of values from Database Adapter - BPM Forms

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me how to get list of values from Database adapter and a ServiceTask.
As example lets say a table has Employee and Department columns.
I want to list down all the Employees in BPM form (Select One List Box) once i provide the department to the Database Adapter.
Is it possible from the DB Adapter?? What will be the variable type?
Thanks,
Nir

Hi DanielAtwood,
Thanks for your reply...
Actually when i send the variable in 'WHERE Clause' in Db Adapter query it will retrieve more than one record as the output.
I want to put that values to a 'SelectOneChoice' component and list down all the values..
First I tried with data control. But i couldn't find the way to pass the value to the variable(in WHERE clause) to the query in data control view.
Thanks,
Nir

And didn't you read the stack trace?
guestbk.doGet(guestbk.java:32)You could've tracked down line 32 and seen what was there at that line.

Get username from session and retrieve records from database wit tat userna

hello..
i got a ChangePassword.jsp which i retrieve the username from session using bean to display on e page..
<jsp:getProperty name="UsernamePassword" property = "username"/>
but in my servlet, i wan to retrieve records from database with tat username..
i tot of coding
String username = (String)request.getSession().getAttribute("UsernamePassword");
and then use tat username to retrieve records.. but is that e right way? The page did not display and i got a CastingException..
Please help.

If you are using the session inside a jsp, you can say "session" without having to declare it.String usernamePassword = (String) session.getAttribute("usernamePassword");However, right after you get this value, check if it is null:
if(usernamePassword==null)
// do sth like forward to error page
else
// continue processing
If it is null, then you are probably not setting it right in the first place. Make sure that in your servlet A you create a session, and before you return or forward to a jsp, that you actually set this value in the session like saying
session.setAttribute("usernamePassword", usernamePassword);
and it is case sensitive for the key.

As long as you're unable to compile Java code, please use the 'New to Java' forum. This is really trival.
To ease writing, debugging and maintenance, I highly recommend you to write Java code in Java classes rather than JSP files. Start learning Servlets.

How to get string value from database table using Visual Studio 2005?

Hi,
Im developing plugin in illustrator cs3 using visual studio 2005. I need to get the values eneterd in database. Im able to get the integer values. But while getting string values it is returning empty value.
Im using the below code to get the values from database table
bool Table::Get(char* FieldName,int& FieldValue)
    try
        _variant_t vtValue;
        vtValue = m_Rec->Fields->GetItem(FieldName)->GetValue();
        FieldValue=vtValue.intVal;
    CATCHERRGET
    sprintf(m_ErrStr,"Success");
    return 1;
Im using the below code to get the values.
AIErr getProjects()
    char buf[5000];
    int i;
    std::string catName;
    ::CoInitialize(NULL);
    Database db;
    Table tbl;
    errno_t err;
    err = fopen(&file,"c:\\DBResult.txt","w");
    fprintf(file, "Before Connection Established\n");
    //MessageBox(NULL,CnnStr,"Connection String",0);
    if(!db.Open(g->username,g->password,CnnStr))
        db.GetErrorErrStr(ErrStr);
        fprintf(file,"Error: %s\n",ErrStr);
    fprintf(file, "After Connection Established\n");
if(!db.Execute("select ProjectID,ProjectName from projectsample",tbl))
        db.GetErrorErrStr(ErrStr);
        fprintf(file,"Error: %s\n",ErrStr);
    int ProjectID;
    int UserID;
    int ProjectTitle;
    char ProjectName[ProjectNameSize];
    if(!tbl.ISEOF())
        tbl.MoveFirst();
    ProjectArrCnt=0;
    for(i=0;i<128;i++)
        buf[i]='\0';
        int j=0;
    while(!tbl.ISEOF())
        if(tbl.Get("ProjectID",ProjectID))
            fprintf(file,"Project ID: %d ",ProjectID);
            ProjectInfo[ProjectArrCnt].ProjectID = ProjectID;
            sprintf(buf,"%d",ProjectID);
            //MessageBox(NULL, buf,"f ID", 0);
            j++;
        else
            tbl.GetErrorErrStr(ErrStr);
            fprintf(file,"Error: %s\n",ErrStr);
            break;
        //if(tbl.Get("ProjectTitle",ProjectName))
        if(tbl.Get("ProjectName",ProjectName))
            MessageBox(NULL,"Inside","",0);
            fprintf(file,"ProjectTitle: %s\n",ProjectName);
            //catName=CategoryName;
            ProjectInfo[ProjectArrCnt].ProjectName=ProjectName;
            //sprintf(buf,"%s",ProjectName);
            MessageBox(NULL,(LPCSTR)ProjectName,"",0);
        else
            tbl.GetErrorErrStr(ErrStr);
            fprintf(file,"Error: %s\n",ErrStr);
            break;
        ProjectArrCnt++;
        //MessageBox(NULL, "While", "WIN API Test",0);
        tbl.MoveNext();
    //MessageBox(NULL, ProjectInfo[i].ProjectName.c_str(),"f Name", 0);
    ::CoUninitialize();
    //sprintf(buf,"%s",file);
    //MessageBox(NULL,buf,"File",0);
    fprintf(file, "Connection closed\n");
    fclose(file);
    for(i=0;i<ProjectArrCnt;i++)
        sprintf(buf,"%i",ProjectInfo[i].ProjectID);
        //MessageBox(NULL,buf,"Proj ID",0);
        //MessageBox(NULL,ProjectInfo[i].ProjectName.c_str(),"Project Name",0);
    return 0;
In the above code im geeting project D which is an integer value. But not able to get the project name.
Please some one guide me.

As I said in the other thread, this really isn't the place to ask questions about a database API unrelated to the Illustrator SDK. You're far more like to find people familliar with your problem on a forum that is dedicated to answering those kinds of questions instead.

Retrieve values from a HTML table !!!

Hi.
How can i retrieve values from a HTML table using javascript ?
I´m trying to use the command "document.getElementsByTagName" without success.
Thanks in advance.
Eduardo

Hi, Deepu.
I´m still with trouble in retrieving the value in HTML.
In debug the C_CELL_ID seems to be correctly updated but
when using the command "document.getElementById" the value is always "null".
I implemented in the method DATA_CELL the code :
if i_x = 3 and i_y = 2.
C_CELL_ID = 'zs'.
C_CELL_CONTENT = 10.
endif.
And in HTML :
var ztest = document.getElementById('zs');
alert(ztest);
Could you help me please.
Many regards

i think normally u will get data from databsae as objects.they are like java beans having getter and setter methods.so you create a collection of those objects like collect all the objects coming from database into an arraylist or....
suppose you want to populate the dropdown box with say "username" from database object s, your code will look like that
<html:select property="name">
<html:options collection="databaseList" property="username" />
</html:select>
"databaseList" is collection(say.. ArrayList) of objects you are getting from database.this dropdown will contain all the "usernames" you are getting from database.

From database to excel and back to database from excel - how?

Environment: db 8,10 server (HPUX), IAS (SUSE), forms6i,10+report6i,10
On principle there is no problem to get data from database to excel but there is the problem how to get data from excel back to database. I don't have intention to use APEX. The goal is to move the cursor to certain row in excel sheet and depends of data in this row call Oracle form in query only mode. Here is the solution to write URL into the excel cell but still exists the problem how to reduce number of session because each call of the form open the new session what I don't like to do.
Thanks for purposes!
m.

Inolau, I'd like to open form between watching excel sheet depends of data in excel. For example:
Cells:
A B C
1. 1 2 3
2. 4 5 6
When I put the cursor on B:2 cell I'd like to open a form. After this I'd like to put the cursor on cell C:1 and I'd like to open the same form again. All in one session.
