Selecting from external table

Hi,
I have an external table with 3 data files. How can I define by the select statement from which data file I'd like to select, is it possible at all?
( like at partitioned table I can define the partition name in the select statement)
Is there a limit how many data files can belong to an external table?
Thanks

Hi,
I wasn'rt clear, so I write an example:
CREATE TABLE ADMIN_EXT_EMPLOYEES
EMPLOYEE_ID NUMBER(4),
FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
LAST_NAME VARCHAR2(25 BYTE),
JOB_ID VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
MANAGER_ID NUMBER(4),
HIRE_DATE DATE,
SALARY NUMBER(8,2),
COMMISSION_PCT NUMBER(2,2),

EMAIL VARCHAR2(25 BYTE)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
( TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY ADMIN_DAT_DIR
ACCESS PARAMETERS
LOCATION ('empxt1.dat', 'empxt2.dat', 'empxt3.dat'')
I'd like select only from one of the dat files, and my question is if is it posible to do that.
Thanks

It would appear that you external table definition and the external data file data do not match up. Post a few input records so someone can duplicate the problem and determine the fix.

Importing Users from external table in obiee 11g

Hi Every one,
Do any one help me giving suggestions that how we can import users from external table.
I am using obiee 11.1.1.6.
In that external table Which i am using there are 56K users.
They are able to login to obiee analytics.
But for setting object level security I need to make diffrent groups with these users to assign the dashbords and required objects in front end.
But how can we get all these users into BI server or presentation server to make them into groups.
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: 861096 on Mar 13, 2012 8:44 AM

Hi,
or if your lowest level is the same like
Day->month->year->Total
Day->businessMonth->businessyear->Total
Then yes, it is.
Create the first, then you start to create the second by adding your top(business year) level on the same level as the one you have (year) both under your total.
Then when you would add your second base level, there is a special option for it, something like use other hierarchy level/shared level (sorry can't recall and does not have a connection right now) then you select your existing day level under your businessmonth level.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
D

How to populate a table based on a row selection from another table.

Hi, i just started to use ADF BC and Faces. Could some one help me or point me a solution on the following scenario .
By using a search component , a table is being displayed as a search result. If i select any row in the resulted table , i need to populate an another table at the bottom of the same page from another view. These two tables are related by primary key . May i know how to populate a table based on a row selection from another table. Thanks
ganesh

I understand your requirement and the tutorial doesn't talk about Association between the views so that you can create a Master-Detail or in DB parlance, a Parent-Child relationship.
I will assume that we are dealing with two entities here: Department and Employees where a particular Department has many Employees and hence a Parent-Child relationship.
Firstly, you need to create an Association between the two Entities - Department and Employees. You can do that by right clicking on the model's entity and then associating the two entities with the appropriate key say, DepartmentId.
Once you have done that, you need to link the two entities in the View section with this Association that you created. Then go to AppModule and make sure that in the Available View Objects: 'EmployeesView' appears under 'DepartmentView' as "EmployeesView via <link you created>". Shuttle the 'DepartmentView' to the right, Data Model and then shuttle
"EmployeesView via <link you created>" to the right, Data Model under 'DepartmentView'.
This will then be reflected in your Data Controls. After that, you simply would have to drag this View into your page as a Master-Detail form...and then when you run this page, any row selected in the Master table, would display the data in the Detail table.
Also, refer to this link: [Master-Detail|http://baigsorcl.blogspot.com/2010/03/creating-master-detail-form-in-adf.html]
Hope this helps.

How to do a SELECT from different tables into an internal table?

How to do a SELECT from different tables into an internal table?
I want to select data from MARA, MARC and ZPERSON and populate my ITAB_FINAL
REPORT zinternal_table.
TABLES:
mara,
marc,
zperson.
TYPES:
BEGIN OF str_table1,
v_name LIKE zperson-zname,
v_matnr LIKE marc-matnr,
v_emarc LIKE marc-emarc,
v_werks_d LIKE marc-werks_d,
v_dstat LIKE marc-dstat,
END OF str_table,
i_table1 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF str_table1.
DATA:
BEGIN OF str_table2,
v_mandt LIKE mara-mandt,
v_ernam LIKE mara-ernam,
v_laeda LIKE mara-laeda,
END OF str_table2,
itab_final LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF str_table2.

first find the link between mara , marc and zperson , if u have link to 3 tables then u can jus write a join and populate the table u want ( thats final table with all the fields).
u defenitely have alink between mara and marc so join them and retrieve all data into one internal table.
then for all the entries in that internal table retrieve data from zperson into another internal table.
then loop at one internal table
read another internal table where key equals in both the tables.
finally assign fileds if sy-subrc = 0.
gs_finaltable-matnr = gs_table-matnr
etc...
and finally append gs_finaltable to gt_finaltable.
there u go ur final table has all the data u want.

How to avoid ORA-3113 when selecting from XMLTYPE table

Hi,
If I register an XML-schema, Oracle automatically creates a table xxxxxx_tab of XMLTYPE. (I use Oracle 9.2.0.1)
When I do a DESCRIBE or a SELECT from this table I get the error: 'ORA-03113:
end-of-file on communication channel' and my connection is dropped.
I opened a TAR for this and Oracle says: 'It is an internal bug so cannot be viewed in metalink. This is fixed in release 10i.' (do they mean oracle DB rel 10i, or a new version of XDK?)
I saw an example in Oracle Magazine (Jan
2003) "Make XML Native and Relative" about Oracle 9i Rel 2 and XML. As you can see in codeListing 7, the author also does a select from such a
table (CD331_tab): Why doesn't he have any problems?
Is there a workaround for this bug? What's the purpose of being able to automatically upload XML-data to a registered schema if you can't do a select of the data?
Thank you!

It appears that the XML Schema is not entirely valid. Specifically, the definition of element "DeviceCategory" has two definitions of element "Audio" appearing within a <choice> model i.e. something like :
<element name="DeviceCategory">
<choice>
<sequence>
<element name="Audio">
</sequence>
<sequence>
<element name="Audio">
</sequence>
</choice>
This is disallowed by XML Schema spec per. the Unique Particle Attribution Constraint. The general idea is that a XML Schema describes a determinstic content model i.e. schema processor can always unambiguosly determine the matching declaration when it encounters an element. However that's not the case with the declaration above. On encoutering "Audio", it could match either the first or the second declaration of the element. Hence the error.
You will have to rework the schema to avoid this constraint. One mechanism could be to define complexType and their restrictions.

Select from a table from other schema

Hi,
I want to make a select from a table how is into other Schema and into other instance.
form example, if I have _2 schemas (in diferent instances)_:
SCHEMA1 =
*(DESCRIPTION =*
*(ADDRESS =*
*(PROTOCOL = TCP)*
*(HOST = XXX.XXX.XXX.XX1)*
*(PORT = 1560)*
*(CONNECT_DATA =*
*(SERVER = DEDICATED)*
*(SERVICE_NAME = SCHEMA1)*
SCHEMA2 =
*(DESCRIPTION =*
*(ADDRESS =*
*(PROTOCOL = TCP)*
*(HOST = XXX.XXX.XXX.XX2)*
*(PORT = 1560)*
*(CONNECT_DATA =*
*(SERVER = DEDICATED)*
*(SERVICE_NAME = SCHEMA2)*
and into SCHEMA2 there is a table TABLE_A.
If I`m connected into SCHEMA1:
how can I do to make a select from the TABLE_A?
thanks very much.

1) Referring to an entry in the tnsnames.ora file as a "schema" as you have here with schema1 and schema2 is likely to be confusing. You have multiple schemas in the same database-- in this case, you appear to be trying to query tables in a different database. If we try to answer using your TNS aliases "schema1" and "schema2", there is likely to be a great deal of confusion between schemas/ databases/ and TNS aliases. So I will assume that your tnsnames.ora file actually reads
TNS_ALIAS1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS =
      (PROTOCOL = TCP)
      (HOST = HOST1)
      (PORT = 1560)
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = DB1)
TNS_ALIAS2 =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS =
      (PROTOCOL = TCP)
      (HOST = HOST2)
      (PORT = 1560)
(CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = DB2)
)2) Given the TNS aliases above, assuming that we are talking about the tnsnames.ora file on HOST1, you would need to create a database link from DB1 to DB2. You can either specify a fixed username and password for the database link or you can specify that the connection happens as the current user (which assumes that the passwords are synchronized between the databases).
CREATE DATABASE LINK to_db2
CONNECT TO username_on_db2
IDENTIFIED BY password_on_db2
USING 'TNS_ALIAS2'3) Assuming the database link is in place
SELECT *
FROM schema2.table_name@to_db2Justin

LDAP in weblogic. Need additional GROUP from External Table

I have the LDAP authentication in weblogic & I need to get the GROUP information from external table also since I have some more groups in table apart from LDAP groups.So how can I get that.
I tried using GROUP variable in RPD but it didn't work.
Please let me know if anyone has faced this issue in OBIEE11g

HI,
As per my knowledge OBIEE user should be authenticated from only one source. it should be either database authetication or LDAP authentication. we cant associate multiple initilization blocks for single system variable USER. so you should convey client to insert groups/users in LDAP.
I hope this help you and understand it.
Thanks

Selecting from two tables and confirming from them despites they not relate

Please I need a query to select from two tables that are not related to each other.
I also want to confirm data's as in verify wether what the user has entered is in accordance with what is in the tables
Examples
the first table is named "Card" and the second table is named "Student_Details"
Card table contains a column named "Pin_Number".
The Student_Details table contains fields such as Exam_Number, Name, Age, Sex.
The user has to Enter the Pin_Number which has to be confirmed in the Card table and Exam_Number which has to be confirmed in the Student_Details table and verify that both data's are correct.
Please I need the SQL and PL/SQL queries for this problem.
Thanks

Hi,
I think you need two different queries
You can write a procedure like:
create or replace procedure p1 (p_pin_number number, p_exam_number)
is
r_card_row            card%rowtype;
r_student_details     student_details%rowtype;
cursor c1 is
select *
    from card
   where pin_number = p_pin_number;
cursor c2 is
select *
    from student_details
   where exam_number = p_exam_number;
begin
open c1;
    loop
      fetch c1 into r_card_row;
      exit when c1%notfound;
      .... do whatever you want..... and the samething you can do with other cursor
    end loop;
close c1;
end p1;Hope this helps
