Returning operation, table and column from a sql query

Hi,
I am working on Oracle 10g and i have to do achieve something like this.
i have to create procedure or functions which will accept a SQL query and will return following :
1). Operation like 'SELECT', 'INSERT', 'UPDATE', 'DELETE' etc.
2). Column names
3). Table involved.
One way to achieve this would be through hard parsing of string which might be time consuming. So do we have any in-built oracle package or function for the same job ?
Regards,
Vikas Kumar

Check for DBMS_SQL package and DESCRIBE_COLUMNS procedure in that package.
You might need a combination of this package and Hard parsing of the input string.
For operation you can trim any space and brackets using TRIM function and then you can extrcat first 6 characters using SUBSTR for Operation.
I have not worked or used DBMS_SQL so wont be able to help you much on this.
Here is the link for DBMS_SQL

Can we hide the tables and columns from subject areas in the front end

Hi,
Is there any way to hide the tables and columns from the subject area in front end.I need to create a report with some tables which the user does not want to see.So after creating the reprot can I hide those tables and columns in the front end

Hi,
Your question is not that clear to me...do you want to hide the entire table/column that dont want to show up in the front end then you could do in Presneation Layer in the RPD by going Permissions in the property of that object.
But if you want to hide the column in the report that can be visible in the subject Area: go to column properties -> Column fomat...thereis Hide option.
Can you please elaborate your question...what exactly you are looking for...

Chart not getting columns from the SQL Query with InlineTransform(xsl)

Hi All,
I am using MII 12.0 . I tried to use the mii standard xsl for converting rows into columns by Inline Transform in a SQL Query.
while executing the Query it is giving me the correct output but i tried to load the same Query in a IChart there it is not showing me the available columns that i can able to see in simple executiion and chart is also not plotting it keeps on loading.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi LinoVaz,
Some things to try for testing purposes -
1. Don't do any Data Mapping of the query columns
2. If a SQL Query, you may need to change the Server Scaling to use Global AutoScale.
I found that when I mapped the inline-transformed query into a bar chart display template, and hit the Refresh button, only the first column name show in the Column Names area. If I mapped it, I got only that column. If I didn't map any columns, I got them all.
Let me know if you find similar results. I think this is likely a bug, so you may consider using a Business Logic Transaction and an XacuteQuery to accomplish the same result.
Kind Regards,

Parse SQL query and extract source tables and columns

Hello,
I have a set of SQL queries and I have to extract the source tables and columns from them.
For example:
Let's imagine that we have two tables
CREATE TABLE T1 (col1 number, col2 number, col3 number)
CREATE TABLE T2 (col1 number, col2 number, col3 number)
We have the following query:
SELECT
T1.col1,
T1.col2 + T1.col3 as field2
FROM T1 INNER JOIN T2 ON T1.col2=T2.col2
WHERE T2.col1 = 1
So, as a result I would like to have:
Order Table Column
1 T1 col1
2 T1 col2
2 T1 col3
Optionally, I would like to have a list of all dependency columns (columns used in "ON", "WHERE" and "GROUP BY" clauses:
Table Column
T1 col2
T2 col1
T2 col2
I have tried different approaches but without any success. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Beroetz

Sql query parsing (retrieve tables and columns used in query)

Hi,
1. Is there any view in Oracle which can tell me, which tables and columns were used in the last ran query, no matter how complex the query is.
2. Secondly I can get table names, used in stored procedures and views, using USER_DEPENDENCIES VIEW, however this System View does not return column names, used in that procedure / view, any idea please .
Thanks and Regards,

Secondly I can get table names, used in stored procedures and views, using USER_DEPENDENCIES VIEW, however this System View does not return column names, used in that procedure / view, any idea please .Oracle added fine grained dependency tracking in 11g, but didn't expose any views to query this information.

SQL text parsing to obtains referenced tables and columns

I wonder if anyone has a method of scanning an SQL statement to retrieve tables and columns referenced. EG:
select
f.cola, f.colb, f.colc, b.cold
from
foo f, bar b
where
f.cola=b.cola and f.colb=b.colb
order by f.colz, b.colawould provide
Tables
foo
bar
Columns
foo.cola [SELECT] [WHERE]
foo.colb [SELECT] [WHERE]
foo.colc [SELECT]
foo.colz [ORDER BY]
bar.cola [WHERE] [ORDER BY]
bar.colb [WHERE]
bar.cold [SELECT]The reason is that I'd like to query through several SQL scripts and validate tables and columns in a new version of the ERP system exist

That query with date substitution should also work. Are you seeing some errors?

Parse SQL: How to extract column names, table names from a SQL query

Hi all,
I have a requirement wherein a SQL query will be given in a text file.
The text file has to be read (probably using text_io package), the SQL query needs to be parsed and the column names, table names and where clauses have to be extracted and inserted into separate tables.
Is there a way to do it using PL/SQL ?
Is there a PL/SQL script available to parse and extract column names, table names etc ?
Pls help.
Regards,
Sam

I think I jumped to conclusion too early saying it is completely possible and straight forward. But after reading through your post for one more time I realised you are not interested only in the column_names, also the table_names and the predicates .
>

>
The above is possible and straight forward using the dbms_sql package.
I am pasting the same information as I did in the other forum.
Check this link and search for Example 8 and .
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_sql.htm#sthref6136
Also check the working example from asktom

Now this is the tricky bit. You can extract the list of tables by getting the sql_id from v$sql and joining it with v$sql_plan. But sometimes you may not get all the results because the optimizer may choose to refine your query (check this link)
http://optimizermagic.blogspot.com/2008/06/why-are-some-of-tables-in-my-query.html
and you can get the predicate information from the same table v$sql_plan but I will leave that area for you to do some R&D.

Tables and Columns used in Universe (BO 6.5)

Hi All,
Please help me out with the below queries:
1. Is there any automated way to find out which report is using which universe? (may be through a SQL fired in BO repository)
(Note: As per the BO Documentation, OBJ_X_DOCUMENTS This is the only table in the document domain. It stores the binary content of all documents sent to the repository (through the user actions Publish to corporate documents, Send to users or Send to Broadcast Agent). The document contents are stored as BLOBs (Binary Large Objects) stored in slices.)
2. I need to identify the universes which use certain tables and columns.
I fired the following SQL in BO repository:
SELECT
UNV_UNIVERSE.UNI_FILENAME,
UNV_UNIVERSE.UNI_LONGNAME,
UNV_TABLE.TAB_NAME,
UNV_COLUMNS.COLUMN_NAME
FROM UNV_UNIVERSE, UNV_TABLE,UNV_COLUMNS
WHERE
UNV_UNIVERSE.UNIVERSE_ID = UNV_TABLE.UNIVERSE_ID
AND UNV_TABLE.TABLE_ID = UNV_COLUMNS.TABLE_ID
But as 'UNV_COLUMNS' table is empty, no data is returned. My question is is this table supposed to be empty in BO repository?
Is there any other way to find out this (identify the universes which use certain tables and columns)?
Many Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

Get description of tables and columns

Good afternoon.
Is there any option in SAP B1 to get a description of table and column dynamically? That is, without the "Tools -> Queries -> Query Generator"?
I am developing an add-on, which lists all the tables and columns of the sap, and I have to bring the descriptions automatically. If you do not have to get the SDK route descriptions, as you suggest doing this?
Edited by: Harley Rodrigues on Feb 1, 2012 9:38 PM

Hi Harley,
Welcome to the Forum!
please refer to your SDK Help. you can find it from this path C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One SDK\Help
also alternatively you can view it from your MS SQL Server Management under Databases

Can Verity/Solr index files AND columns from db into one resultset?

Hi,
I have a form where users upload a document and also add some meta data that goes with the document. I currently store the meta data in the db and the actual document on the file system.
How can I use Verity/Solr to index files and columns from a database table so it will return one recordset?

Capture DB Table and column comments when creating new Business Area/Folder

Does anyone know if it is possible to pull the DB table and column comments into Discoverer when creating new Business Area/Folders? Our developers take the time to put the information in the Db data dictionary and we would like to leverage it (reduce need for manually adding descriptions) ... has anyone done this?
If there isn't a way to automatically do it, would there be any harm in using a sql script to populate the description fields from the DB data dictionary directly into the EUL tables appropriate?
I have been searching through documentation and forums for information - with no luck at this point.
Thanks!

Hi Seymour
You can add column comments to views as well, as this example will show:
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW MY_SEQUENCE
(SEQ_ID, SEQ_NAME, SEQ_NEXTVAL)
AS
SELECT "SEQ_ID","SEQ_NAME","SEQ_NEXTVAL" FROM EUL5_SEQUENCES;
COMMENT ON COLUMN MY_SEQUENCE.SEQ_NAME IS 'The sequence';
So you could add the comments at the view level and then refresh Discoverer.
Best wishes

List tables and column names a stored procedure is querying

Hello,
Is there a way to list tables and column names that a stored procedure is querying, i.e, selecting from, using T-SQL? If yes, is there a way to also show data types for the columns that a stored procedure is querying, i.e, selecting from?
Thank you,
Lenfinkel

One way to view the dependencies of an object is to use SSMS; navigate to the object, right click and select "view dependencies". However this does not tell you what columns are being referenced by the Stored Procedure.
One way to view what is being referenced by a stored procedure is to run something like
select
text
from syscomments
where
id in
(select id
from sysobjects
where
name
=[Your Object Name]
And xtype
in
('p','P')

Using of already existing logical tables and columns in a new subject area.

Hi Every one,
i am new to OBIEE technology.
In my project i need to create a new subject area for already existing RPD.
In that RPD there are some logical tables and column created for previous project and i need to use those in this new subject area that i am going to create.
My question is what is the best way to use them .
I mean just to drag and drop them into new subject area or any other way.
please have your valuable suggestions
thanking you

Yes, you can basically copy paste all the tables that you need from BMM layer into your new folder in the presentation layer. Just make sure all the joins are defined well between all the tables that exists in the new folder, so you wont end up running into ODBC errors when you run analysis.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
-Amith.
