Selecting values for query where clause

hi guys, this is possibly a silly question but not sure if i am approaching the solution in the correct mannor.
At the top of my form i have text box which the user fills in various values. These values are then used to refine the query results in the block below. I know i can go into the datablock being queried and set the where clause to equal the value of the text boxes above but i dont feel this is the right place to do it.
If i do it that way when the text box above is blank it returns no reults when infact i want to query everything if the values are left blank. So should i put it in pre query? if so what way should it be done?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
If i do it that way when the text box above is blank it returns no reults when infact i want to query everything if the values are left blank. So should i put it in pre query? if so what way should it be done?Not really if you use like below in block's where clause...
db_field_name1=NVL(:form_field_name1,db_field_name1) AND
db_field_name2=NVL(:form_field_name2,db_field_name2)-Ammad

Using a report value for a where clause in other report

Hi All,
i'm getting kinda nuts here. I created a page with three reports.
First report show the name of the user who logged in with his/her whole name. Second report shows the year, week, begin/end date of the week for the user in the first report. The third report show the hours the user worked in the week selected in the second report.
The link between first and second report is on column report. Somehow i managed it to work with second_report.mdw_code = :P3_ACRONIEM. I have no idea were this P3_ACRONIEM item is coming from, while i have no items in my page whatsoever. Now i need to link the second report to the third report. I have to use the second_report.mdw_code, second_report.year and second_report.week but i have no idea how to link these together. Any idea's? (Like making items, but then i have no idea how to link that item to the value in the second report). Please help.
Kind regards,
Dave
The link between the first and the second i could get it to work with :P3_ACRONIEM. I have no idea where this ITEM is coming from, because i have no items in my page (and it's the only page in the application). Then

Hi Dave,
If I understand you correctly, you have a one report that lists users, a second report that lists dates and a final report that shows hours worked?
If so, you may find it easiest to have hidden fields on your page and base the second and third reports on these using appropriate WHERE clauses. (I generally put hidden fields in a region in the "After Header" position)
So, if the first report contains a USER_ID field, have a hidden field called P1_USER_ID. The link on the first report will branch back to the same page and set the value of P1_USER_ID to #USER_ID# The second report can then use WHERE USER_ID = :P1_USER_ID. When the page reloads, the second report redisplays and is filtered to show only those records relating to the selected USER_ID in the first report.
To extend this, if the second report contains WEEK_NUMBER, it should have a link that branches back to the same page and sets a hidden P1_WEEK_NUMBER field with #WEEK_NUMBER#. The third report should when have WHERE WEEK_NUMBER = :P1_WEEK_NUMBER AND USER_ID = :P1_USER_ID. You can, if need be, have and set more than one hidden field during each link.

Parsing an input parameter for the where clause or record select value

In my limited CR experience, I've always used a command database connection so that I can write my own SQL. However, now I have to parse a pipe delimited parameter to get my value for the where clause, so I'm selecting several tables and joining them through the Database Expert Links tab. All works fine, but after doing that and then parsing the parameter with the below formula in the Select Expert, I notice that there is no where clause in the SQL query, and although the report eventually displays the proper values, it runs through thousands of records first. Here is my Select Expert - Record formula:
StringVar array Parm1;
Parm1 := Split({?DATA_AREA}, "|");
{SO_ORDERS.CASE_ID} = Parm1[2]
If I change "Parm1[2]" on the last line to a valid Case ID, then there is a where clause in the SQL and the report generates immediately.
It seems like the record select formula is applied AFTER all of the records (without a where clause) are searched when I use the parsed parameter value, but when I hard code a valid value, it places that into the where clause BEFORE the sql is executed. Is there a way to get the parameter parsed first and then use that parsed value in the SQL where clause?
Thanks.
Bill

Yes crystal will run the query first to get 100% data and then applies record selection condition. To increase the performance you need to pass the where condition at the command level instead of report level. So you need to create a report using add command like this
select * from tablename where field={?Parameter}
{?Parameter} is a command level parameter.
Now insert this report as a subreport in another report which has no connection but has a parameter
{?DATA_AREA} and create a formula like this in the main report
Split({?DATA_AREA}, "|")[2]
Now right click on the subreport and go to change subreport links and add this formula from main report and link this to sub report parameter {?Parameter} without linking any database field from the subreport.
Now your subreport runs with the where clause to get the data.

Change my sql query where-clause in an extended controller

Hello,
i am trying to change my sql query where-clause in an extended controller
personAplListVO.setWhereClause(null); // first set to null
personAplListVO.setWhereClauseParams(null); // first set to null
personAplListVO.setWhereClause(personAplListVOWhereClause +
newWhereClause);
personAplListVO.setWhereClauseParams(whereClauseParams);
personAplListVO.executeQuery();
System.out.println(">>>>>>>>getQuery = " + personAplListVO.getQuery());
when i get the query ( personAplListVO.getQuery()) after executeQuery(), the new newWhereClause values are missing.
Also i am getting null from personAplListVO.getWhereClause() after executeQuery()
as if the above code is not making any effect.
any ideas why?
Thank you

Variable for entire where clause

Is it possible to use a variable for the entire where clause in a PL/SQL select statement?
I have a where clause stored as a string in the database and I want to use that entire string as a variable, but my procedure will not compile because it is missing the relational operator.
SELECT whereclause FROM clausetable WHERE clause = 'TEST'; will return this string: column1 = 'abc'
Here's my procedure:
create or replace
PROCEDURE TESTWC
(c_out OUT sys_refcursor )
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
v_whereclause VARCHAR2(255);
BEGIN
SELECT whereclause
INTO v_whereclause
FROM clause_table
WHERE clause = 'TEST';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_whereclause);
OPEN c_test FOR SELECT * FROM dpacsoftware WHERE v_whereclause;
NULL;
END;
END TESTWC;

Is it possible to use a variable for the entire where clause in a PL/SQL select statement?Unfortunately yes.
I have a where clause stored as a string in the databaseThis is a really bad idea, like storing the source for half your program in a text file with a bunch of Java or C or FORTRAN code and opening, reading, compiling and linking at run time.
It is slow, slow, slow as you can expect, and dangerous and insecure, since someone could have put a format C: command in your source file, or something equivalently nasty to a database.

Copy 'Favorites' in 'Select Values for Variables' screen

I need to copy a list that I created as a 'Favorite' in the 'Select Values for Variables' screen for Customer to all the other userids so that everyone is using the same list of customers. Can someone tell me the table(s) where these values are stored? Is there a function module or program available that copies 'Favorites'.
It would be nice if you could select if the 'Favorites' you create can be 'Global'.
Thanks.

the variant values are stored in RSRPARAMETRIZA. the field content stores in XML format. you can write an ABAP program to read and update it.

About SELECT VALUE FROM NLS_INSTANCE_PARAMETERS WHERE PARAMETER =""

I am developing a web application based on Oacle 10g .But after the DBServe was startedup for about 5~6 hours, the max connection process exceeded. From the DB Administration Tool it shows that there were many INACTIVE Connections which executed
SELECT VALUE FROM NLS_INSTANCE_PARAMETERS WHERE PARAMETER ='NLS_DATE_FORMAT'
But it seems that this is called by the JDBC driver, not my application. How to avoid this, or release the inactive connection?
By the way,who and when call that sql?
Thanks a lot.

By the way,who and when call that sql?Also for this you can take an 10046 level 8 sql trace and format the output with sys=yes option of tkprof - http://tonguc.wordpress.com/2006/12/30/introduction-to-oracle-trace-utulity-and-understanding-the-fundamental-performance-equation/
Since we are talking about a web application you may use a database logon trigger to start sql trace for your application user, or if possible you may set sql_trace database parameter to true at instance level for a while and since you are at 10g you can use new package dbms_monitor and trcsess utility - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14211/sqltrace.htm#sthref2001

Using multiple values in a where clause, for values only known at runtime

Dear all
I am creating a PL/SQL program which returns multiple rows of data but only where it meets a set id values that a user has previously chosen. The id values are stored in an associative array and are chosen by a user in the preceding procedure at run time.
I know all the table and column names in advance. The only things I don't know are the exact number of ids selected from the id column and what their values will be. This will only be known at runtime. When the procedure is run by the user it prints multiple rows of data to a web browser.
I have been reading the following posting, which I understand to a large extent, Query for multiple value search But I cannot seem to figure out how I would apply it to my work as I am dealing with multiple rows and a cursor.
The code as I have currently written it is wrong because I get an error not found message in my web browser. I think the var_user_chosen_map_list_ids in the for cursor loop could be the problem. I am using the variable_user_chosen_map_list_ids to store all the id values from my associatative array as a string. Which I modified from the code that vidyadhars posted in the other thread.
Should I be creating a OPEN FOR ref cursor and if so where would I put my associative array into it? At the moment I take the value, turning it into a string and IN part in the WHERE clause holds the string, allowing the WHERE clause to read all the values from it. I would expect the where clause to read everything in the string as 1 complete string of VARCHAR2 data but this would not be the case if this part of the code at least was correct. The code is as follows:
--Global variable section contains:
var_user_chosen_map_list_ids VARCHAR2(32767);
PROCEDURE PROCMAPSEARCH (par_user_chosen_map_list_ids PKG_ARR_MAPS.ARR_MAP_LIST)
IS

AND MI.map_publication_id IN
(var_user_chosen_map_list_ids);
var_map_list_to_compare VARCHAR2(32767) := '';
var_exe_imm_map VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
FOR rec_user_chosen_map_list_ids IN 1 .. par_user_chosen_map_list_ids.count
LOOP
   var_user_chosen_map_list_ids := var_user_chosen_map_list_ids ||
   '''' ||
   par_user_chosen_map_list_ids(rec_user_chosen_map_list_ids) ||
END LOOP;
var_user_chosen_map_list_ids := substr(var_user_chosen_map_list_ids,
                                        1,
                                        length(var_user_chosen_map_list_ids)-1);
var_exe_imm_map := 'FOR rec_search_entered_details IN cur_map_search
LOOP
htp.print('Map date: ' || cur_map_search.map_date || ' Map title: ' || cur_map_search.map_title)
END LOOP;';
END PROCMAPSEARCH;EXECUTE IMMEDIATE var_exe_imm_map;
I would be grateful of any comments or advice.
Kind regards
Tim

I would like to thank everyone for their kind help.
I have now successfully converted my code for use with dynamic SQL. Part of my problem was getting the concept confused a little, especially as I could get everything work in a static cursor, including variables, as long as they did not contain multiple values. I have learnt that dynamic sql runs the complete select statement at runtime. However even with this I was getting concepts confused. For example I was including variables and the terminator; inside my select string, where as these should be outside it. For example the following is wrong:
     TABLE (sys.dbms_debug_vc2coll(par_user_chosen_map_list_ids))....
AND MI.map_publication_id = column_value;';Where as the following is correct:
     TABLE (sys.dbms_debug_vc2coll('||par_user_chosen_map_list_ids||'))....
AND MI.map_publication_id = column_value';PL/SQL is inserting the values and then running the select statement, as opposed to running the select statement with the variables and then accessing the values stored in those variables. Once I resolved that it worked. My revised code is as follows:
--Global variable section contains:
var_user_chosen_map_list_ids VARCHAR2(32767);
var_details VARCHAR(32767);
PROCEDURE PROCMAPSEARCH (par_user_chosen_map_list_ids PKG_ARR_MAPS.ARR_MAP_LIST)

BEGIN
FOR rec_user_chosen_map_list_ids IN 1 .. par_user_chosen_map_list_ids.count

   '''' ||
   par_user_chosen_map_list_ids(rec_user_chosen_map_list_ids) ||

var_user_chosen_map_list_ids := substr(var_user_chosen_map_list_ids,

Select multiple value in a where clause

hello,
im using developer 2000.
suppose I have several values in a data grid. I want to use all of them in a where clause using IN operator or something. anybody knows how to do that. what I do is always insert all values in the grid into a temporary table and use that table in the where clause. is there any other easy, effective way of doing that?
select *
from table1
where category in (-- I want to select multiple values form a data grid here--)
thanks in advance.
bonny.

Hello Bonny,
You might consider the use of PL/SQL Collection Types
The first step in the process is to create a type and a table of that type.
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE DateType IS OBJECT ( Arg1 DATE );
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TableList IS TABLE OF DateType;
DECLARE
list1 tablelist;
BEGIN
SELECT datetype (arg1)
BULK COLLECT INTO list1
FROM table1;
FOR c1 IN (SELECT arg1
FROM TABLE (CAST (list1 AS tablelist)))
LOOP
---- Your code -----;
END LOOP;
END;
For further insight please refer: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96624/05_colls.htm

Query - select values for variables form list / Bex 7

Hello together,
when I open a query in the 'Business Explorer Analyzer 7' and I want to select the values for my variables from list, BW shows always the values from history.
Is it possible to change this? I want to see always the single values.
Thanks and best regards.
Jörg

Hello Jörg
The variable values in history are shown in drill down button of variable input box, whereas a button beside it will show a list of values when clicked. These are F4 value help selections.
How is variable created? Please create variable with basic settings as
'single value'.

Query to select value for max date from a varchar field containing year and month

I'm having trouble selecting a value from a table that contain a varchar column in YYYY-MM format.
ex.
Emp_id Date Cost
10264 2013-01 5.00
33644 2013-12 84.00
10264 2013-02 12.00
33644 2012-01 680.0
59842 2014-05 57.00
In the sample data above, I would like to be able to select the for each Emp_id by the max date. Ex. For Emp_id 10264, the cost should be 12.00.

create table test (Emp_id int, Date varchar(10), Cost decimal (6,2))
insert into test values(
10264, '2013-01', 5.00 ),
(33644, '2013-12', 84.00 ),
(10264, '2013-02', 12.00 ),
(33644, '2012-01', 680.0 ),
(59842, '2014-05', 57.00 )
Select Emp_id,[Date],Cost FROM (
select *,row_number() Over(Partition by Emp_id Order by Cast([Date]+'-1' as Datetime) Desc) rn
from test)
t
WHERE rn=1
drop table test

Query in selected value for radiogroup

Is it possible to have a query in the p_selected_value of an htmldb_item.radiogroup ?
If yes, how ?
If not, is it possible to always set the first radio button as the selected value ?
thx,
Patrick

Hi Enric,
After the execution of a query using Query designer, after the selection of the variable values, you will get navigation block and the data beside that in Data Analysis tab. In this navigation block, you will find only the restricted values after the variable selection. You will not find the values selected displayed over there. When you select a chracteristic and click on filter button, you will get the values which are restricted only within the data displayed beside that in the output.
If you want to have a look at the variable selection parameter that you have selected in the popup, you should go to Information tab and you can check the same there.
The Navigation Pane Web item shows the navigational state of a data provider. All the characteristics and structures of the data provider are listed. You can alter the navigation status by using drag and drop to drag characteristics or structures to an axis (rows or columns) of the table, or to remove them from the axis. Using drag and drop, you can swap the axes in the navigation area; the table changes accordingly. You can also drag characteristics to the filter pane using drag and drop.
Hope this helps u...
Regards,
KK.

How to Get the required List Item values by using Where Clause

I have two tables named "TAX_RULES","BILL"
1. " Tax_Rules" (Sub_Head_Code,Tax_ID,Tax_Percentage)
{ While "Sub_Head_Code" field is unique,
Tax_ID describes that there are two kinds of Tax_IDs based on Tax_percentage which is 6% for some Sub_Head_Codes and 3.5% for the remainng Sub_Head_Codes. I have given Tax_ID 1 for 6% and Tax_ID 2 for Sub_Head_codes having 3.5%. }
2. "BILL" (Bill_ID,Sub_Head_Code,Tax_ID,Bill_Amount)
{While "Bill_ID" describes unique Bill Identification Number,
Sub_Head_Code and Tax_ID are behaving like composite foreign key from Tax_Rules table}
I have design form for both tables.
In BILL form i am trying to get values of Tax_ID from Tax_Rules table at run-time by using WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE.
For this whenever i select a Sub_Head_Code in Bill Form, all the Tax_IDs that i have recorded against each Sub_Head_Code which is either 1 or 2 against 6% and 3.5% respectively.
But I want that whenever i select a "Sub_Head_Code", Only that Tax_ID which is associated with that Sub_Head_Code ahould come in the LIST ITEM.
I have used WHERE clause but that is useless.
Following is the Code that i have applied in the WHE-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE Trigger at FORM LEVEL
<CODE>
DECLARE
     rg_n1 VARCHAR2(40) :='TAX_ID';
     rg_idn1 RecordGroup;
     gc_idn1 GroupColumn;
     errcode NUMBER;
BEGIN
     CLEAR_LIST('BILL.TAX_ID');
     rg_idn1 := Find_Group(rg_n1);
IF      Id_Null(rg_idn1) then
          rg_idn1 := Create_Group(rg_n1);
     gc_idn1 := Add_Group_Column(rg_idn1,'EXPLAIN',CHAR_COLUMN,60);
          gc_idn1 := Add_Group_Column(rg_idn1,'TAX_ID',CHAR_COLUMN,3);
     END IF;
     errcode := Populate_Group_With_Query(rg_idn1,'select TAX_ID,TAX_ID from TAX_RULES');
     POPULATE_LIST('BILL.TAX_ID',RG_IDn1);
END;
</CODE>

In the Tax Rules table, you state:
"Sub_Head_Code" field is unique
In the Bill table, you state:
Sub_Head_Code and Tax_ID are behaving like composite foreign key from Tax_Rules table
If the Sub_Head_Code is unique, then it's acting as a primary key, so Sub_Head_Code and Tax_ID in the Bill table are not behaving like a composite foreign key. The Sub_Head_Code is a foreign key, and the Tax_ID is irrelevant as far as keys are concerned.
It is not clear what it is you want to do.
If you want to display the Tax_IDs from the Bill table when you select a Sub_Head_Code from the Tax_Rules table, then change your query to:
select TAX_ID, TAX_ID from BILL where Sub_Head_Code = :Tax_Rules.Sub_Head_Code
If you want to display the Tax_IDs from the Tax_Rules table when you select a Sub_Head_Code from the Bill table, then change your query to:
select TAX_ID, TAX_ID from TAX_RULES where Sub_Head_Code = :Bill.Sub_Head_Code
If this is not what you want, then clarify what it is you want to do. Don't say:
"I want that whenever i select a "Sub_Head_Code", Only that Tax_ID which is associated with that Sub_Head_Code"
because it is not clear what tables you are referring to.

How To change the ADF View Object query where-clause at RunTime?

I am trying to create a simple display page which will display user data (username, assoc_dist_id, assoc_agent_id, status , etc). The User data is stored in a database table and i am using an ADF Read Only table based on the View Object to display the data on the JSF page.
However, i want to display only the users that a particular person accessing the page has the AUTH LEVEL to see. e.g. If the person accessing the page is an 'ApplicationAdministrator' then the page should display all users in the table, If its a 'DistributorAdministrator' then the page should display only users associated with that Distributor (i.e. assoc_dist_id = :p_Dist_id ) and If its an 'AgentAdministrator' , then the page should display only users associated with that Agent ( i.e. assoc_agent_id = :p_Agent_id).
Currently my af:table component displays all the users in the table because the query for the view object is (select * from users) . However, i want to use the same viewobject and just set the where-clause at runtime with the appropriate parameter to restrict the dataset returned.
Do anyone knows how to accomplish this ?

David,
See the custom method initializeDynamicVariableDefaults() in the SRViewObjectImpl.java class in the FrameworkExtentions project in the SRDemoSampleADFBC sample application. You can find out how to install the demo if you haven't already from the ADF Learning Center at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/learnadf.html
This class is a framework extension class for view objects that adds a neat, generic feature to be able to dynamic default the value of named bind variables. You can read more about what framework extension classes are and how to use them in Chapter 25, "Advanced Business Components Techniques" of the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers, also available at the learning center above.
It is an example of generic framework functionality that "kicks in" based on the presence of custom metadata properties on a named bind variable. See section 25.3.3 "Implementing Generic Functionality Driven by Custom Properties" in the dev guide for more details. Using this sample code, if you add a bind variable to a view object, and define a custom metadata property named "DynamicDefaultValue" on that bind variable, and set this custom metadata property to the value "CurrentUser", then that bind variable will have its value dynamically defaulted to the name of the authenticated user logged in. If instead you set this custom property to the value "UserRole", then the bind variable will be set to the comma-separated string containing the list of roles that the authenticated user is part of.
Once you've created a framework extension class for view objects like this, you can have the view objects you create inherit this generic functionality.See section 25.1.4 "How to Base an ADF Component on a Framework Extension Class" in the dev guide for more info on this.
By adapting a technique like this (or some idea similar that better suits your needs) you can have your view object query contain bind variables whose values automatically take on the defaults based on something in the user-session environment.
