Sending a parameter to a Oracle view

I want to create a oracle view with a variable and i want to change the value of variable according to my needs.
Can i Do This.
Query of view is a complex one assume as like this
SELECT ........ FROM
( SELECT ........ FROM .............
WHERE tempDate=TO_DATE('2007/2/23', 'YYYY/MM/DD')
WHERE ...............................Date should be a variable.
Variable should in a sub query.
Pls Help as soon as possible

Try using a PreparedStatement and insert a parameter placeholder ("?") instead of "TO_DATE('2007/2/23', 'YYYY/MM/DD')".
Pls Help as soon as possibleUsually I don't, good you told me ...

Question on using a Parameter against an Oracle date field

Post Author: klkemp100
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
newbie here just getting started in Crystal Reports v11.0
writing a report to go against an oracle view. i need the report to use a parameter that the user enters to select a specific date.
i went through the database expert and keyed in my own sql since i first tested this via TOAD and know that the sql works fine with a hard-coded date etc.
next i created a parameter and set it first up as a DATE but got the message that FAILED TO RETRIEVE DATA FROM THE DATABASE, even though I know that there is data to retrieve and i have previously retrieved it when the selection date is hard-coded in the query.
i then changed the field type in the view to be a VARCHAR2 and changed the parameter to be a STRING, but am still getting the same thing.
is there something special about using dates and parameters within crystal against oracle?
thanks in advance for your help.

you also may check the date format , oracle maybe excpecting you to send the parameter in some format and you are sending it into another format
if both are type dates in report and database you can use this
where to_date(to_char(mytable.my_date_field,'dd/mm/yyyy'),'dd/mm/yyyy') = to_date(to_char(,'your_format'),'dd/mm/yyyy')
you may use this in a free hand SQL
good luck

How to create view object for a predefined Oracle view

Trying to create an entity object with no success,,,
I have an Oracle view(complex query in PL/SQL) that I need to encapsulate as a View Object then represent a column from this view as a '' | | linkcolumn | | ''
then get a reference of the requestParameter "p" in this case that I need to use as whereclause parameter on another view object that is part of the ListPage.jsp.
The application is basically a page of organization links that when click filters their reports as a list,
In Jdeveloper's context webBean(RowSetBrowser list [org links] to RowSetBrowser [org report list])
Can I implement this functionallity using the wizards or possibly writing custom code using the standard webBeans.

Jerry,
First, you can create an entity object based on an Oracle view. If you check the "Views" checkbox in the EO wizard, you'll see a list of database views. Then you can create a view object based on your entity object, and use it like any other view object.
As for getting the page into the format you want, I suggest you start by generating your page using the BC4J JSP wizard, then customize the generated JSP.
Thanks
Blaise

How to send/keep parameter

Hi,
I have a classic report and I linked col1 by another page page3. I have here an text_item that show me this parameter. I try to send this parameter to a procedure and it is not working. How can I keep this parameter in a variable?
Thank you

Coco,
in an APEX PL/SQL Process, you can reference Page Items by using the colon-Notation:
BEGIN
    MyProcedure (
        p_param1 => :P2_ITEM1,
        p_param2 => :P2_ITEM38 );
END;brgds,

Find out the name of parameter file while oracle is running

can any one please tell me how can i find the name of oracle parameter file while oracle is running, i mean is there any parameter that specifies this thing, or is there any data dictionary view
second thing i want to change the default database i mean istead of starting the default database at startup the oracle should start the database that i specify,
i would be greatfull if any one could answer my questions

Ok, so you're running with SPFILE in default location. The file you speak about is used during the database create phase.
Just having a look at the file:
c:\oracle\admin\orcl\pfile\init.ora.1142006183316I can say that:
. The SID is ORCL
. You used DBCA to create the database
. DBCA started creating the database: Saturday 11 of February 2006 at 18:33
This file is used by the DBCA because when you create a database, you must have a parameter file in order to start the instance. This file is easily created as a text file (PFILE) first, then the instance is started. Once the database creation is over, the SPFILE is created from this PFILE. If you check the database create logs (in the %ORACLE_BASE%\admin\ORCL\* directory) you'll see a "CREATE SPFILE FROM PFILE" is ran after the database creation, or before, it depends, and the instance restarted in order for it to use the newly created SPFILE. After that, this file is useless.

ORA-02070: Error when updating a SQL Server table thru an Oracle View

I have a SQL Server table TIMESHEET which contains a number of VARCHAR and NUMERIC columns plus a DATETIME column.
Only the DATETIME column is giving me trouble.
On the ORACLE side I have a view which selects from the SQL Server table but in order to get the SELECT to work, I had to either put a CAST or TO_DATE function call around the DATETIME field
Below is the relevant part of the 2 view definitions I have tried
create view TIMESHEET as
SELECT
"TsKeySeq" as TS_KEY_SEQ,
"EmployeeNo" as EMPLOYEE_NO,
CAST("PeriodEnding" AS DATE) as PERIOD_ENDING,
. . . (more columns - not relevant)
FROM [email protected];
An update to the view generates this message
ORA-02070: database OLEMSQLPSANTDAS6 does not support CAST in this context
create view TIMESHEET as
SELECT
"TsKeySeq" as TS_KEY_SEQ,
"EmployeeNo" as EMPLOYEE_NO,
TO_DATE("PeriodEnding") as PERIOD_ENDING,
. . . (more columns - not relevant)
FROM [email protected];
An update to the view generates this message
ORA-02070: database OLEMSQLPSANTDAS6 does not support TO_DATE in this context
If I don't include either the TO_DATE() or CAST() then I get
Select Error: ORA-28527: Heterogeneous Services datatype mapping error
ORA-02063:preceding line from OLEMSQLSANTDAS6
Does anyone have any idea how to update a SQL Server DATETIME column thru an ORACLE view?

You can't cast accross heterogenious databases and there is no need to. HSODBC treats SQL Server DATETIME column as DATE. For example, I have SQL Server table:
CREATE TABLE [Ops].[T_JobType](
     [JobType] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
     [JobDesc] [varchar](200) NULL,
     [InsertDt] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [InsertDt_00000006] DEFAULT (getdate()),
     [InsertBy] [varchar](128) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [InsertBy_00000006] DEFAULT (user_name()),
     [LastUpdated] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [LastUpdated_00000006] DEFAULT (getdate()),
     [LastUpdatedBy] [varchar](128) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [LastUpdatedBy_00000006] DEFAULT (user_name()),
CONSTRAINT [T_JobType_PK] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
     [JobType] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 100) ON [DATA01FG]
) ON [DATA01FG]Now on Oracle side I do:
SQL> desc "Ops"."T_JobType"@pbods
Name                                      Null?    Type
JobType                                   NOT NULL VARCHAR2(50)
JobDesc                                            VARCHAR2(200)
InsertDt                                  NOT NULL DATE
InsertBy                                  NOT NULL VARCHAR2(128)
LastUpdated                               NOT NULL DATE
LastUpdatedBy                             NOT NULL VARCHAR2(128)

Oracle view in OBIEE

Hi Experts ,
We have Oracle View . There is no primary key is defined in this view. I need to join this view with some table in OBIEE physical layer.
1. I have created one opaque view with query
SELECT 'YES' PRESERVE FROM DUAL (Dummy table)
and make the join ..and report is also working fine...
So is this correct method.
2. Can we define Key at OBIEE level.(Make an alias and do self join)
If we define key at obiee level the key should be uniqe and for that we need to make all the view column as key.
please suggest..which method is good.
Thanks.
S

so can i create my key on any column and do the self join by creating alias...
I just want to give a join to my view so that obiee will not give any warning...
report is coming from view only...no fact and dimension here...view is on OLTP system

How to pass in a parameter into a report viewer on a jsp - and hidden

Hi, I've built a php application and am using the java environment to enable the crystal report/viewer. The developer was looking how to pass in a parameter into a report viewer on a jsp. Ultimately the end product we need is to get an HTML report viewer loading a report file with hidden parameters so to not expose other customer data (it's a shared database for multiple customers) preferably loaded from php using maybe the php java bridge. Would anyone happen to have any sample code or any guidance?
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@ taglib uri="/crystal-tags-reportviewer.tld" prefix="crviewer"%>
<%
// just a test to grab rpt name from GET
String rptFile = "report_files/" + request.getParameter("rpt");
%>
<crviewer:viewer reportSourceType="reportingComponent" viewerName=""
isOwnPage="true">
<crviewer:report reportName="<%= rptFile %>" />
</crviewer:viewer>
Many thanks in advance!
Mark

I am not aware of any html tags you can pass to the viewer for parameter values. Normally, you would load the report in code and then use the SDK with the report object to pass parameter values.

Parameter Form in Oracle Report!!

Dear Oracle Users' Group:
I have problem with "Parameter Form" in Oracle Report.
The Report that I created has the SQL:
"SELECT A.FIELD1, A.FIELD2
FROM MYDATABASE.MYTABLE A
WHERE
A.FIELD1 = :P_1";
When the report is run, it asks for the parameter
and generates the report based on the runtime
parameter. Works perfect on Oracle8i database's
Report front end.
The PROPERTY PALETTE for the FIELD (Field that
takes the runtime parameter) is:
====================
General Information
Name: PF_P_1
Comments:
Parameter Form Field
Source: P_1
Parameter
Datatype: Character
Width: 40
Initial Value:
Validation Trigger:
List of Values:
(For the list of values, I have put the SQL:
"SELECT DISTINCT A.FIELD1 from
MYDATABASE.MYTABLE A", Also I had
tried with list of fixed values like A, B, C)
Web Setting
Additional Attributes (HTML):
================
But the report does NOT work when called from the Web.
(This is only because of the problem with this Parameter
Form in my report. If I get rid of the parameter form by
changing the last line of my SQL to: "A.FIELD1 = 'Chicago'",
it works fine from the Web).
When accessed the report from the Web, the error I get
is:
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Report Job has terminated with this error.
Reports Server Replies:
REP-0788: Warning: The value of restricted LOV parameter P_1 is not among the selectable values.
I do not know what is the error with this simplest Parameter Form based Report!!
In the Property Palette (above) of the Field, there was a field named "Additional Attributes (HTML)"
under "Web Setting" heading.
Do I need to write something there!!
Please help!!
thanks.

Hi, Kimmy
Try: &paramform=yes]http://webserver.com:80/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?server=repserver&report=rep1&userid=scott/tiger@orcl&destype=cache&desformat=htmlcss&paramform=yes
I've also sent you an email about key maps.
Enjoy! Web Reporting is a great feature.

Sending mails with attachments using oracle 8i

Hi,
Could anybody please send a sample code for sending mails
with attachments using oracle 8i.
Thanks in advance

For oracle8i there is an example package from OTN:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/pl_sql/htdocs/Utl_Smtp_Sample.html
You have to re-write the package a bit to work it with BLOBs instead of RAW attachments, but that should be no problem
Hop this helps,
Michiel

Note 830576 - Parameter recommendations for Oracle 10g

hi all DBA experts.
I am not good familiar with Oracle database while i read a Note 830576 - Parameter recommendations for Oracle 10g. in which SAP General Recommendation:
You should delete obsolete initialization parameters from the profile.
To determine which obsolete parameters are currently set, proceed as follows:
SQL> SELECT NAME FROM V$OBSOLETE_PARAMETER WHERE ISSPECIFIED = 'TRUE';
when i execute above command then result is no rows selected
while there are many parameters in above SAP Note which are already obsolete and not set in initSID.ora file.
for exp. the parameter OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ is showing
#### OPTIMIZER MODE
#optimizer_index_cost_adj = 10
as you know that this parameter is very important regarding System Performance.
now please guide me . I have to set these parameter or no need while there is not showing any parameters against obsolete command.
waiting you valuable reply.
Regards,

hi both,
thanks for knowledge sharing with me other SDN users,
Dear Orkun,
Ok. At this stage, I can recommend you that apply what they have suggested,
in the message. So, you already did a part of it by configuring
Oracle parameters, already.

Rebuilding of the InforSource of DBCONNECT to Oracle View

Hello,
following problem:
I use DB connect to an Oracle Database to an View
It works fine.
I change the View in the Oracle Database and recompile it.
I get an Error while loading with an InfoPackage.
I have to drop the regenerate the Datasource and
I must Drop ! the InfoSource and
rebuild it completly again to be able to load again !
This stemms due to the fact that BW seems to protocol the internal state of the Oracle View, like displayed in the Oracle Dictionnary views user_views, all_views
or dba_views.
This is an inacceptable BW system behaviour and impossible for day to day
business, development and much work, espescially if You develop a 12 or more
DBConnect View interfaces !
Does anybody out there know how to make BW a more pleasent thing , customize it better to avoid this burden ?
Thank You !

Hello,
in all its ok, except You change the format ( number to char or char to number etc.) or the column name of DBConnect's View or Table.
In this case You have do delete the BW Datasource and rebuild it.
It is advisable to name the DBConnect View or Table exactly as
in BW. This makes setting up of the InfoSource very easy.
Thank You
