Split char. Column to 2 columns in BEx

Hi Friends, is this possible in BEx?
I have data in DSO like this
Acc. Doc   G/L Account    Amount
101            41000001         $10
101            41000001         $20
101            71000001         $30
101            71000001         $40
In my BEx report. I want to split G/LAccount Column to 2 columns depending on account #
If G/L Account # is betn 41000000 - 41999999 ==> Rev. G/L account
If G/L Account # is betn 71000000 - 71999999 ==> Cost . G/L account
report output should look like below.
Acc Doc   Revenue G/L Account        Cost G/L account       Rev. Amount     Cost Amount
101                  41000001                           71000001                 $30                     $70
building a new DSO is not an option.
thanks

I am using MS SQL v2005
I want to split a column into two columns : -
one column must have all the odd rows data while the other column must have even rows data
in other words I want the data in Table1 to be displayed as data in Table2.
Col, Odd and Even are column names

In SQL 2005 wont approach like what I suggested do only a single scan of the table?
A major problem with your solution is that you assume that 1) the values are contiguous 2) they are numeric. Try the below:
CREATE TABLE #t (id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1), Col1 CHAR(1))
INSERT INTO #t VALUES ('A'),('B'), ('C'),('D'), ('E'),('F'), ('G'), ('H'), ('I')
go
SELECT MAX(CASE WHEN Col1 % 2 > 0 THEN Col1 END),
MAX(CASE WHEN Col1 % 2 = 0 THEN Col1 END)
FROM
SELECT Col1,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY (Col1 % 2) ORDER BY Col1) AS Rn
FROM #t
)t
GROUP BY Rn
go
; WITH numbering AS (
SELECT Col1, row_number() OVER (ORDER BY Col1) AS rowno
FROM   #t
), leading AS (
   SELECT Col1 AS odd, LEAD(Col1) OVER(ORDER BY rowno) AS even, rowno
   FROM   numbering
SELECT odd, even
FROM   leading
WHERE rowno % 2 = 1
go
DROP TABLE #t

Inserting blanks into a NOT NULL CHAR column

How do you insert a value of blank/spaces into a NOT NULL CHAR column. Oracle 9i interprets the space as a NULL and the insert fails because the column does not allow NULLS. Thanks in advance.

Display Parent node in a separate column in BEx

Hi all,
I have a requirement to display parent node of a node in a separate column in BEx.
For e.g. If 'a' and 'b' belong to the parent node 'c,' I need to display 'c' in a separate column whenever 'a' or 'b' occur in the report.
Any ideas how I can accomplish this? I already have a hierarchy enabled in the report. The client
still wants to display the parent node in a separate column
Thanks and points will be assigned.

Hi Claus,
You can use the following as table cell editor:
1. Image -- just displays plain image
2. Caption -- dislays image along with text or image only (or text only).
3. LinkToAction -- same as caption, however provides you a way to have something like "onClick" action.

ORA-01401 error on char column with oracle oci driver

Hello,
We found a potential bug in the kodo.jdbc.sql.OracleDictionary class
shipped as source with Kodo:
In newer Kodo versions (at least in 3.3.4), the method
public void setString (PreparedStatement stmnt, int idx, String
val, Column col)
has the following code block:
// call setFixedCHAR for fixed width character columns to get padding
// semantics
if (col != null && col.getType () == Types.CHAR
&& val != null && val.length () != col.getSize ())
((OraclePreparedStatement) inner).setFixedCHAR (idx, val);
This block seems to be intended for select statements but is called on
inserts/updates also. The latter causes a known problem with the Oracle
oci driver when settings CHAR columns as FixedCHAR, which reports an
ORA-01401 error (inserted value too large for column) when definitely no
column is too long. This does not happen with the thin driver.
We reproduced this with 8.1.7 and 9.2.0 drivers.
For us we solved the problem by subclassing OracleDictionary and removing
the new code block.

Rainer-
I read at
re:'ORA-01401 inserted value too large for column' - 9i that:
"This is fixed in Oracle9i Release 2"
Can you try that version of the driver? Also, does it fail in the Oracle
10 OCI driver?

Querying CHAR columns with character length semantics unreliable

Hi again,
It appears that there is a bug in the JDBC drivers whereby it is highly unlikely that the values of CHAR columns that use character length semantics can be accurately queried using ResultSet.getString(). Instead, the drivers return the value padded with space (0x#20) characters out to a number of bytes equal to the number of characters multiplied by 4. The number of bytes varies depending on the number and size of any non-ascii characters stored in the column.
For instance, if I have a CHAR(1) column, a value of 'a' will return 'a ' (4 characters/bytes are returned), a value of '\u00E0' will return '\u00E0 ' (3 characters / 4 bytes), and a value of '\uE000' will return '\uE000 ' (2 characters / 4 bytes).
I'm currently using version 9.2.0.3 of the standalone drivers (ojdbc.jar) with JDK 1.4.1_04 on Redhat Linux 9, connecting to Oracle 9.2.0.2.0 running on Solaris.
The following sample code can be used to demonstrate the problem (where the DDL at the top of the file must be executed first):
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
This sample generates another bug in the Oracle JDBC drivers where it is not
possible to query the values of CHAR columns that use character length semantics
and are NOT full of non-ascii characters. The inclusion of the VARCHAR2 column
is just a control.
CREATE TABLE TMP2
TMP_ID NUMBER(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,

TMP_VCHAR VARCHAR2(10 CHAR)

TopLink JPA - trailing spaces on Char column

Gurus,
In JDBC you use the following to ignore trailing spaces when querying on Char column:
OracleConnection conn = (OracleConnection) c;
conn.setDefaultFixedString(true);
How to achieve this using TopLink JPA?
Thanks much,
Nicky

Nicky,
I believe you would need to do this in API. Ideally setting these configurations on the properties of the JDBC connection pool is easier but if you wish to do it with TopLink Essentials I would use a session event listener's postAcquireConnection to customize it.
In the persistence.xml you will need to configure your persistence unit to use a session customer like:
        <property name="toplink.session.customizer" value = "mypackage.JDBCConnectionConfig"/>Then you will need to implement this customizer and include it on the classpath of your application:
public class JDBCConnectionConfig implements SessionCustomizer {
    public void customize(Session session) {
        session.getEventManager().addListener(new JDBCConfigEventListener());
    class JDBCConfigEventListener extends SessionEventAdapter {
        public void postAcquireConnection(SessionEvent event) {
            Connection conn = ((DatabaseAccessor) event.getResult()).getConnection();
            OracleConnection oconn = (OracleConnection) conn;
            oconn.setDefaultFixedString(true);
Note: I did not see setDefaultFixedString in the most recent version of the Oracle JDBC driver
I would definitely look into configuring your data source's connection pool with this property enabled before adding this event listener.

Webi report display splits a column

Hi
fairly new to Webi so I hope this doesn't sound too basic. I have a Webi report that is 30 odd columns wide (this is currently BOXI R2 on Windows 2003); it's displayed in Landscape mode and splits several columns down the middle. How can you define where the vertical page breaks should be and/or which columns should not be split?
Cheers
Mark Gillis

Thanks for getting back. That's not quite the problem: it's a 'standard' Webi report (not a crosstab) and has over 40 columns. Even in landscape mode, that displays over 5 pages. The problem is vertical splits: I can fit columns 1 to 7 on page 1 and then column 8 is half on the first page and half on the second (this is displaying in Page mode in Infoview: I can display in Draft mode, of course, to get a full span display of the report).
What I'm trying to do is define the report so that when a user displays in Page mode columns do not get split. It may be that Draft mode is the only answer but I was hoping a setting would exist to say "don't split columns over pages".

How to split a column in adobe livecycle design?

How does one split a column in adobe livecycle design. I have found that one can split a column after you have merged it. But I want to split two columns into four in the middle of a table. This can be done in Word. Is there a way even if one has to split each row? Does any one know? Like in the table below I would like to make Header 2 & Header 3, Rows 2 and 3 into 2 rows 4 columns.
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
Header 4
Thanks
Sheila

If you want to have 1 column to be split in 4 columns, you can insert a table with 4 columns inside a column cell.. If you mean to add rows and you want to keep those 4 columns, you should add instances of the row where you inserted the table with 4 columns...
Hope this helps!

Split a Column to Three Columns

Hello Y'all Gurus,
I have a column and I need to split this column to three columns. The following are samples of data to be split:
Sample #1:
From
Column: 2.5 (3 - 47) or
              2.5 (3-47) or

PreparedStatement and CHAR columns

Hi
I am having troubles using preparedStatements on tables with columns of type CHAR:
My table has a column of type CHAR(3). The data in this column is 0,1,2 or three characters long.
My query contains this column in the WHERE clause in the from "WHERE colName = ?".
The problem is now, that I have to use a String in the pstmt.setString(1, str) statement that is exactly 3 characters long. Otherwise I don't get any result.
If I use a 2 char string i get nothing. But with a 'normal' statement or in SQL*Plus it works perfectly fine.
Of course, I could trim() my column or fill the string up to be always 3 chars, but I think that's not state of the art.
Any other solutions?
Thanks in advance.

What you describe is the ANSI behavior of a CHAR column. VARCHAR columns can match on any length (and can be any length up to the maximum or the column constrint limit), but a char column is required to be blank padded. If you must use CHAR then write a function to automatically pad the string for you so that it will match.

Split multiple columns into rows using XML

Hi Forum,
I am trying to split 2 columns that each contain values separated by semicolon into single rows. The relation between the values of the two columns is that the order in the cells corresponds to each other.
The data looks like this:
pk    Manufacturer                partnumber
1     Man1; Man2;Man3      PN1;PN2;PN3
2     Man4; Man2;Man5      PN4;PN5;PN6
The result should be:
pk    Manufacturer     partnumber
1       Man1                   PN1
1       Man2                   PN2
1       Man3                   PN3
2       Man4                   PN4
2       Man2                   PN5
2       Man5                   PN6
I am not sure how to format the XML to get a useful Basis for XML.value or XML.query
Any ideas?
TIA
Alex

Hi,
Try like this ,
DECLARE @tmp TABLE (pk INT,Manufacturer NVARCHAR(50),partnumber NVARCHAR(50))

Splitting one column into different columns.

Hello Experts,
How do i split datetime column into different columns while doing a Select statement.
Ex:
The column "REC_CRT_TS" has data like "2014-05-08 08:23:09.0000000".The datatype of this column is "DateTime". And i want it in SELECT statement like;
SELECT
YEAR(DATETIME) YEAR,
MONTH(DATETIME) MONTH,
DATENAME(DATETIME) MONTHNAME,
DATEPART(DATETIME) WEEKNUM,
DAY(DATETIME) DATE,
DATEPART(DATETIME) HOUR
FROM TABLE_NAME;
The output should look like this;
--YEAR| MONTH | MONTHNAME| WEEKNUM | DATE | HOUR
--2014| 5 | May | 25 | 08 |08
Any suggestions please.
Thanks!
Rahman

I made a very quick research and I see in this blog post
http://www.jamesserra.com/archive/2011/08/microsoft-sql-server-parallel-data-warehouse-pdw-explained/
that It also uses its own query engine and not all features of SQL
Server are supported. So, you might not be able to use all your DBA tricks. And you wouldn’t want to build a solution against SQL Server and then just hope to upsize it to Parallel Data Warehouse Edition.
So, it is quite possible that this function doesn't exist in PDW version of SQL
Server. In this case you may want to implement case based month name or do it in the client application.

is it possible to filter like this? Should we use any case statement in query while we have diff formats
like this?
