Select statement on cube

Hi
I am writing a routine (select statement) on the characterstics which has to get the data from other cube.
My scenairo:
Extracting the data from the flat file.
In the cube i have a characteristics for which I need to pull the data from other cube.
Routine:
Select single xxxx into result from /bic/fsd_c03
where bill_no = source_fields_rule-bill_no..
When i click on the check, I am getting the following error" Unknown column name "XXXX" until runtime, you cannot specify a
field list.
Can we write select statements on cubes? or is there any issue in my routine?
Thanks
Annie

Hi Annie,
I would suggest not because of the following reasons:
1) The way data is stored in the Info cube is multi-dimensional, which means to say that all the characteristic are grouped into dimensions and they result in unique dimension ID's which connect to your fact table (/BI0/F*)
This would mean, your characteristics and key figures would not be available in the same table for doing the select.
2) If you happen to compress the data in the infocube, the data in the fact table would be moved to the E fact table (/BI0/E) from the f fact table (/BI0/F).
This would need change of code.
I would rather suggest to go about this way.
--> Check if the cube which you are trying to do a lookup is fed from a DSO.
--> If so, use the Active table(/BI0/A*00) of the DSO for the lookup.
Hope this helps!

"Check Statistics" in the Performance tab. How to see SELECT statement?

Hi,
In a previous mail on SDN, it was explained (see below) that the "Check Statistics" in the Performance tab, under Manage in the context of a cube, executes the SELECT stament below.
Would you happen to know how to see the SELECT statements that the "Check Statistics" command executes as mentioned in the posting below?
Thanks
====================================
When you hit the Check Statistics tab, it isn't just the fact tables that are checked, but also all master data tables for all the InfoObjects (characteristics) that are in the cubes dimensions.
Checking nbr of rows inserted, last analyzed dates, etc.
SELECT
T.TABLE_NAME, M.PARTITION_NAME, TO_CHAR (T.LAST_ANALYZED, 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS'), T.NUM_ROWS,
M.INSERTS, M.UPDATES, M.DELETES, M.TRUNCATED
FROM
USER_TABLES T LEFT OUTER JOIN USER_TAB_MODIFICATIONS M ON T.TABLE_NAME = M.TABLE_NAME
WHERE
T.TABLE_NAME = '/BI0/PWBS_ELEMT' AND M.PARTITION_NAME IS NULL
When you Refresh the stats, all the tables that need stats refreshed, are refreshed again. SInce InfoCube queries access the various master data tables in quereis, it makes sense that SAP would check their status.
In looking at some of the results in 7.0, I'm not sure that the 30 day check is being doen as it was in 3.5. This is one area SAP retooled quite a bit.
Yellow only indicates that there could be a problem. You could have stale DB stats on a table, but if they don't cause the DB optimizer to choose a poor execution plan, then it has no impact.
Good DB stats are vital to query performance and old stats could be responsible for poor performance. I'm just syaing that the Statistics check yellow light status is not a definitive indicator.
If your DBA has BRCONNECT running daily, you really should not have to worry about stats collection on the BW side except in cases immediately after large loads /deletes, and the nightly BRCONNECT hasn't run.
BRCONNECT should produce a lof every time it runs showing you all the tables that it determeined should have stats refreshed. That might be worth a review. It should be running daily. If it is not being run, then you need to look at running stats collection from the BW side, either in Process Chains or via InfoCube automatisms.
Best bet is to use ST04 to get Explain Plans of a poor running InfoCube query and then it can be reviewed to see where the time is being spent and whether stats ate a culprit.

Hi,
Thanks, this is what I came up with:
st05,
check SQL Trace, Activate Trace
Now, in Rsa1
on Cube, Cube1,
Manage, Performance tab, Check Statistics
Again, back to st05
Deactivate Trace
then click on Displace Trace
Now, in the trace display, after scanning through the output,
how do I see the SELECT statements that the "Check Statistics" command executes
I will appreciate your help.

Slow query results for simple select statement on Exadata

I have a table with 30+ million rows in it which I'm trying to develop a cube around. When the cube processes (sql analysis), it queries back 10k rows every 6 seconds or so. I ran the same query SQL Analysis runs to grab the data in toad and exported results, and the timing is the same, 10k every 6 seconds or so. r
I ran an execution plan it returns just this:
Plan
SELECT STATEMENT ALL_ROWSCost: 136,019 Bytes: 4,954,594,096 Cardinality: 33,935,576
1 TABLE ACCESS STORAGE FULL TABLE DMSN.DS3R_FH_1XRTT_FA_LVL_KPI Cost: 136,019 Bytes: 4,954,594,096 Cardinality: 33,935,576 I'm not sure if there is a setting in oracle (new to the oracle environment) which can limit performance by connection or user, but if there is, what should I look for and how can I check it.
The Oracle version I'm using is 11.2.0.3.0 and the server is quite large as well (exadata platform). I'm curious because I've seen SQL Server return 100k rows ever 10 seconds before, I would assume an exadata system should return rows a lot quicker. How can I check where the bottle neck is?

I've notice the same querying speed using Toad (export to CSV)That's not really a good way to test performance. Doing that through Toad, you are getting the database to read the data from it's disks (you don't have a choice in that) shifting bulk amounts of data over your network (that could be a considerable bottleneck) and then letting Toad format the data into CSV format (process the data adding a little bottleneck) and then write the data to another hard disk (more disk I/O = more bottleneck).
I don't know exedata but I imagine it doesn't quite incorporate all those bottlenecks.
and during cube processing via SQL Analysis. How can I check to see if its my network speed thats effecting it?Speak to your technical/networking team, who should be able to trace network activity/packets and see what's happening in that respect.
Is that even possible as our system resides off site, so the traffic is going through multiple networks.Ouch... yes, that could certainly be responsible.
I don't think its the network though because when I run both at the same time, they both are still querying at about 10k rows every 6 seconds.I don't think your performance measuring is accurate. What happens if you actually do the cube in exedata rather than using Toad or SQL Analysis (which I assume is on your client machine?)

If statement in select statement alias

I have the following select statement. It has the alias Survivors, Deaths and "All Cases". Is it posible to use :P_LANGUAGE variable to say that -- IF :P_LANGUAGE = FRENCH THEN alias are Survivants for survivors, Décès for Deaths, Tous_les_cas for All Cases. Please advise
SELECT ALL T_NTR_MULTIBAR.CAT, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_LEFTBAR AS Survivors,
T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_MIDDLEBAR AS Deaths, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_RIGHTBAR AS "All Cases"
FROM T_NTR_MULTIBAR
WHERE INSTANCE_NUM = :P_INSTANCENUM
order by ORDERS

You may not be able to add this condition inside the SQL Statement. But you can add this condition outside the statement, if you're using PL/SQL...
IF :p_language = french THEN
SELECT ALL t_ntr_multibar.cat,
t_ntr_multibar.num_cases_leftbar AS survivors,
t_ntr_multibar.num_cases_middlebar AS deaths,
t_ntr_multibar.num_cases_rightbar AS "All Cases"
ELSE

How to get all values from an interval using select statement

Hi,
Is it possible to write a select statement that returns all values from an interval? Interval boundaries are variable.
something like this:
select (for x in 1,1024 loop x end loop) from dual
(this, of course, doesn't work)
The result in this example should be 1024 rows of numbers from 1 to 1024. These numbers are parameters, so it is not possible to create a table with predefined values.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Mia.

For your simple case, with a lower boundary of 1, you can use:
SELECT rownum
FROM all_objects
WHERE rownum <= 1024For a set of number between say 50 - 100, you can use something like:
SELECT rownum + (50 - 1)
FROM all_objects
WHERE rownum <= (100 - 50 + 1)Note, that all_objects was used only because it generally has a lot of rows. Any table with at least the number of rows in your range will work.

Select statement operators in ecc 6.

Hi Experts,
I have a small doubt about the '>=' ( greater than or equal to ) operator usage in select statement. Is this operator by any chance perform not as desired in ECC 6.0. Is it a good option to use 'GE' instead of '>='. ?
It may sound a bit awkward, but still I would like to know. I am facing a situation, which could be related to this. An early response would be highly appreciated.
I would request,you NOT TO REPLY with links/explanations which says how to use select statement. Only answer if you have the answers related to this query.

????? Every Open SQL statements is translated to the SQL slang the underlying database is talking regardless if you type GE or >=
If the result differs using >= or GE i would open a call at SAP instead of asking in SDN.

How to find the number of fetched lines from select statement

Hi Experts,
Can you tell me how to find the number of fetched lines from select statements..
and one more thing is can you tell me how to check the written select statement or written statement is correct or not????
Thanks in advance
santosh

Hi,
Look for the system field SY_TABIX. That will contain the number of records which have been put into an internal table through a select statement.
For ex:
data: itab type mara occurs 0 with header line.
Select * from mara into table itab.
Write: Sy-tabix.
This will give you the number of entries that has been selected.
I am not sure what you mean by the second question. If you can let me know what you need then we might have a solution.
Hope this helps,
Sudhi

Use of LIKE in where clause of select statement for multiple records

Hi Experts,
I have a account number field which is uploaded from a file. Now this account numbers uploaded does not match fully with sap table account numbers but it contains all of the numbers provided in the file mostly in the upright positions.
For example in file we have account number as 2ARS1 while in sap table the value is 002ARS1.
And i want to fetch data from sap table based on account number uploaded. So, i am trying to use LIKE with for all entries but its not working as mentioned below but LIKE is not working with FOR ALL ENTRIES.
data : begin of t_dda occurs 0,
        dda(19) type c,
       end of t_dda.
data : begin of t_bukrs occurs 0,
        bukrs type t012k-bukrs,
       end of t_bukrs.
data : dda type t012k-bankn,
       w_dda type t012k-bankn.
CONCATENATE '%'
                         '2ARS1'
                 INTO W_DDA.
MOVE W_DDA TO T_DDA-DDA.
APPEND T_DDA.
CLEAR T_DDA.
free t_bukrs.
SELECT BUKRS
FROM T012K
into TABLE t_bukrs
    for all entries in t_dda
WHERE BANKN like t_dda-dda.
Can anybody suggest what should i use to get the data for multiple account numbers using one select statement only instead on using SELECT UP TO 1 ROWS in LOOP....ENDLOOP ?
Thanks in advance,
Akash

Hi,
yes, For All entries won't work for LIKE with '% '.
I think the other alternative is go for Native SQL by writing sub-query
sample code is here:
data: begin of i_mara occurs 0,
          matnr like mara-matnr,
          matkl like mara-matkl,
       end of i_mara.
exec sql.
select matnr, matkl from mara where matnr in (select matnr from marc) and matnr like '%ma' into :i_mara
endexec.
loop at i_mara.
write:/ i_mara-matnr, i_mara-matkl.
endloop.
hope u got it.

What is the use of additon in up to 1 rows in SELECT statement

Hi All,
         What is the use of up to 1 rows in select statement.
for example
SELECT kostl
      FROM pa0001
      INTO y_lv_kostl UP TO 1 ROWS
      WHERE pernr EQ pernr
      AND endda GE sy-datum.
    ENDSELECT.
I'm unable to get in wat situations we hav to add up to 1 rows
please help me out...
Thanks,
santosh.

Hi,
Use "select up to 1 rows" only if you are sure that all the records returned will have the same value for the field(s) you are interested in. If not, you will be reading only the first record which matches the criteria, but may be the second or the third record has the value you are looking for.
The System test result showed that the variant Single * takes less time than Up to 1 rows as there is an additional level for COUNT STOP KEY for SELECT ENDSELECT UP TO 1 ROWS.
The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns the first record of the result set.

Secondary Index Select Statement Problem

Hi friends.
I have a issue with a select statement using secondary index,
SELECT SINGLE * FROM VEKP WHERE VEGR4 EQ STAGE_DOCK
                                  AND VEGR5 NE SPACE
                                  AND WERKS EQ PLANT
        %_HINTS ORACLE
        'INDEX("&TABLE&" "VEKP~Z3" "VEKP^Z3" "VEKP_____Z3")'.
given above statement is taking long time for processing.
when i check for the same secondary index in vekp table i couldn't see any DB index name with vekp~z3 or vekp^z3 or vekp____z3.
And the sy-subrc value after select statement is 4. (even though values avaliable in VEKP with given where condition values)
My question is why my select statement is taking long time and sy-subrc is 4?
what happens if a secnodary index given in select statement, which is not avaliable in that DB Table?

Hi,
> ONe more question: is it possible to give more than one index name in select statement.
yes you can:
read the documentation:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/A97630_01/server.920/a96533/hintsref.htm#5156
index_hint:
This hint can optionally specify one or more indexes:
- If this hint specifies a single available index, then the optimizer performs
a scan on this index. The optimizer does not consider a full table scan or
a scan on another index on the table.
- If this hint specifies a list of available indexes, then the optimizer
considers the cost of a scan on each index in the list and then performs
the index scan with the lowest cost. The optimizer can also choose to
scan multiple indexes from this list and merge the results, if such an
access path has the lowest cost. The optimizer does not consider a full
table scan or a scan on an index not listed in the hint.
- If this hint specifies no indexes, then the optimizer considers the
cost of a scan on each available index on the table and then performs
the index scan with the lowest cost. The optimizer can also choose to
scan multiple indexes and merge the results, if such an access path
has the lowest cost. The optimizer does not consider a full table scan.

BI Publisher : SELECT statement in RTF template

Hi Guys
I have written a BI Publisher Report using XML file created from Oracle Reports(in Oracle Apps).
Repors runs from Oracle Apps perfectly ok. Now I need to fetch some data from couple of tables and display on the Report.
I am wondering whether I can directly code SELECT statement in RTF file rather than messing with Oracle Report(.rdf) file.
Please advise.
Thanks and Regards
Vijay

Hey Vijay,
You cannot query in RTF using select :)..
You have to mess/play with RDF to do it ;)
Oh wait, did i say , we cannot in RTF, we can , but that is difficult approach to go with., keep this as an end of the world option.

Can we use is null in our select statement in ABAP program

Performance issue - Select statement

Hi I am having the 10 lack records in the KONP table . If i am trying to see all the records in SE11 , it is giving the short dump TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED . I know this is because of less memory in the Server . Is there any other way to get the data ? How to optimise the below SELECT statement if i have large data in the table .
i_condn_data - is having 8 lack records .
SELECT knumh kznep valtg valdt zterm
        FROM konp
        INTO TABLE i_condn_data_b
        FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_condn_data
        WHERE knumh = i_condn_data-knumh
        AND kschl = p_kschl.
Please suggest .

Hi,
try to use "UP TO n ROWS" to control the quantity of selected data in each Loop step.
Something like this:
sort itab by itab-knumh.
flag = 'X'.
while flag = 'X'.
SELECT knumh kznep valtg valdt zterm
FROM konp
INTO TABLE i_condn_data_b UP TO one_million ROWS
WHERE knumh > new_value_for_selection
AND kschl = p_kschl.
describe table i_condn_data_b lines i.
read table i_condn_data_b index i.
new_value_for_selection = i_condn_data_b-knumh.
*....your logic for table i_condn_data_b
if one_million > i.
clear flag.
endif.
endwhile.

Retrieving multiple values from one column in SELECT statement

Hi,
I have a slight dilemma in that I'm trying to pull down all the values from a column from a select statement that includes some JOINS in it.
If I run the query at the SQL Plus prompt, it pulls back all the values/rows.
When I run the select (and prepared ) statement in my JSP, it only pulls back one of the 4 values I'm trying to retrieve.
e.g.
at the DB level :
SELECT role_name, CC_ID FROM votetbl a
INNER JOIN APPROVERS b ON
a.BUSVP = b.BUSVP AND
a.BRANCH = b.BRANCH
WHERE CC_ID = 1688this will return:
ROLE_NAME CC_ID
ops 1688
ops 1688
comply 1688
legal 1688
comply 1688
When run in my JSP, like so:
String primID3a = request.getParameter("primID");
Statement stmtovoter = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
String prepvotSQL = "SELECT role_name, CC_ID FROM votetbl a INNER JOIN APPROVERS b ON a.BUSVP = b.BUSVP AND " +
"a.BRANCH = b.BRANCH WHERE CC_ID = ?";
PreparedStatement prepvotstmt = connection.prepareStatement(prepvotSQL);
prepvotstmt.setString(1, primID3a);
ResultSet rest3 = prepvotstmt.executeQuery();
rest3.next();
String votecat = rest3.getString(1);
out.println("Vote category: "+votecat);I only get ops returned.
Do I need to run an enumerator? Or reqest.getParameterValues or use a while statement around the results set?
Any feedback and direction here is welcomed!
Thanks!

Actually, I tried looping and still only get 1, but returned several times.
i.e.
PreparedStatement prepvotstmt = connection.prepareStatement(prepvotSQL);
prepvotstmt.setString(1, primID3a);
ResultSet rest3 = prepvotstmt.executeQuery();
rest3.next();
String votecat = rest3.getString(1);
while (rest3.next()) {
out.print("category roles "+votecat);
}then I get returned the following:
admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admin
like so.
Where as at the DB level I get
ROLE_NAME CC_ID
admin 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
risk 1688
comply 1688
legal 1688
legal 1688
ops 1688
comply 1688
Maybe the while should go around the getString(1) designation? But I was thinking I'd tried that and gotten invalid cursor error
Something is definitely amiss, between the prepared statement in the servlet and the SELECT statement at the DB level.
I can totally hardcode the statement in the servlet or JSP and it will return one value potentially several times, but only one.
Other times, it will not return a value at all, even though one resides in the db.
Yet go to the DB/SQL Plus prompt and it returns perfectly. I can simply copy and paste the SELECT statement from the out.print line I made and it works like a champ in SQL Plus. Any ideas why the same exact thing cannot return the proper values within the servlet/JSP?
Yeeeeeeesh!!! : (
