SQ01 Query Field Name Lengths

Hi all,
I am trying to translate the Query below.
My issue is that the field in yellow is only allowing 25 characters? Can we extend this?

Let us know if you want to explore this further. Also consider that just because I think something, doesn't make it the last word.

Field name lengths

The field name lengths in the Citadel database are approaching 80 characters when Citadel adds the total path to each field. I am saving data from a process running on computer #1 to computer #2. I am using OPC and to select the analog input values require an extremely long length to the field names.
i.e.
"\\Dispatchbd1\Freq_Process\FreqOPC.'OPC DAQ Items'.'Analog Input'.'PHS Narrow Freq'" is just one of my field names. When you have 75 values in a database that you want to look at this long name gets discouraging. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Wapa,
You are right the names are a bit long. Citadel stores the absolute names (includes computer and process name), to make sure the names are unique. For example if process1 and process2 have both Pot1 and you are storing the data to the same database, unless you log it with a process name and computer name you would get a conflict - (if there is just Pot1 you would not know from which process).
So, the computer and process parts are always there. The Item name has to be also included, but you have more choise there. The member ('OPC DAQ Items'.'Analog Input'.''PHS Narrow Freq') can be aliased to anything you want (and is valid). Go to the Edit database - select the item in the second window - select the datatype - type in alias (for example item1) - check the log to
historical database and hit save (you are going to get a warning - don't worry about it, just make sure the alias (item1) you typed is is not already an existing item - because of the folder structure exposed by DAQ OPC you'll be fine).
Now instaed of using "\\Dispatchbd1\Freq_Process\FreqOPC.'OPC DAQ Items'.'Analog Input'.'PHS Narrow Freq'" you can go with "\\Dispatchbd1\Freq_Process\FreqOPC.item1" - you can stop loggin the original member.
If you need to go even shorter, you can create an expression object for every member you want to log and then log the expression. Then you get to something like:
"\\Dispatchbd1\Freq_Process\Exp1"
I hope this helps.

How to extract field name, length, descrip & field type out of repository

How can I extract field name, length, descrip & field type out of repository? Or is it possible?

Hi Victor,
To get any info about any field you should know the code of that field that we specify in console while creating field.
Using this code you will get property whatever you defined in consloe.
RepositorySchemaEx repositoryschema= MetadataManager.getInstance().getRepositorySchema(usrCtx);
where usrctx is usersession context that you create to access yr repository
FieldProperties fProp = repositoryschema.getField(tableName,fieldCode);
where tablename is tablecode in which field belong
field code is code of field that you define in console for that field
if you check with frop then it will show the general properties like type etc.
suppose yr field of type text field then you can acces all properties that is coomon as well that is respective to text type field.
FixedWidthTextFieldProperties textField = ( FixedWidthTextFieldProperties) fProp
if you have other field type then that use thta properties . you will get in java api docs on help.sap.com whatever the properties MDM supporting.
Hope ot helps you get the solution
thanks,

Query Field names in Crystal

In Crytal I see parameters but the database field names are the long name ie (0CCA_C11_ZNN_0CCA_C11_Q004.M[Measures].[8WEVD1XARY9RST55SBE42RTJD3VA0MBXNGQL9Y0JC76EALK4XU]C
Can someone explain how to the user friendly name ?

Hi,
I assume that this field is pointing back to a keyfigure in the SAP BW Query.
The Query Designer is offering you an option in the context menu to create a technical name for the keyfigure.
As soon as you did that and after a "verify database" in Crystal Reports you will see these defined technical names in Crystal Reports

Query field names renamed to Expr1

I recently had things quit working in a newer Access database that has been stable for several months.  I tracked it down to field names in the queries changed from a name to "Expr1".
Behaved like this topic:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/b92d559b-2ce3-4b37-9939-a2a519b3429b/upgrade-from-2003-to-2010-causing-query-column-name-problems?forum=accessdev
It's in Access 2010 and I did not upgrade, and I did not change any linked tables.
I'm wondering if it had anything to do when I did a Compact and Repair on the database.
Per other articles I have unchecked ALL boxes under Access/Options/Current Database/Name AutoCorrect Options
Thanks for any help you can provide!

I had a backup copy so this morning I went through all the queries and found the Expr1 and changed them back. I had no calculated fields, and I didn't change anything in the queries. (I added a new and different query, but that was it.
Didn't touch any other queries, and this happened in all the other queries.)
My main concern is not knowing what caused it, and preventing it from happening again. I'm hoping removing the Name AutoCorrect prevents that.
I appreciate the reply. Thanks!

How do I reduce cell width with a long field name?

I'm creating an asp page, connected to an Access database.
When I create a page with, say the Dynamic Data Table "wizard," I
find that I cannot reduce the width of the data cells to anything
less than the label/field name length.
For instance, one field is "rsCities.ID" but it's only 2 or 3
digits wide. I'd like that cell in the table to be small, but I
can't figure out how to reduce it. Trying to move the resizing
handles doesn't work. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using Live Data view in DW?
When it's set up properly with a testing server, the Live
Data feature will
insert actual values from your database into Design View
rather than
fieldname placeholders.

Hash Marks in Field Names

Forgive me but I have forgotten how to do this.
I'm trying to pass the query field name: "Pat #" , which
can't be changed.
<cfset pat_no = '#Pat ##'>
Problem is the hash mark in the field name.
I've tried:
<cfset pat_no = '#Pat #'#''>
but it errors out.

You escape ColdFusion control characters by doubling them. So
your line
should probably be <cfset pat_no = '#Pat ###'>

How to display the field name in the tabulated view for a content query web part

I have added a content query web part changed the web part file to include custom columns imported and reffered itemstyle.xsl
to include the tabulated view for the content query.
However the way it is displayed is such that only the content is displayed.
As i am using a tabular view wto display the data, i want to display their field names as well.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you need to display the field in the tabulated view for a content query web part.
For your issue, please refer to the code as below:
<xsl:template name="VendorCustomStyle" match="Row[@Style='VendorCustomStyle']" mode="itemstyle">
<html>
<table width="100%">
<xsl:if test="count(preceding-sibling::*)=0">
<tr>
<td width="8%" valign="top"><div class="item"><b>Vendor ID</b></div></td>
<td width="12%" valign="top"><div class="item"><b>Vendor Name</b></div></td>
<td width="50%" valign="top"><div class="item"><b>Vendor Description</b></div></td>
<td width="10%" valign="top"><div class="item"><b>Vendor Country</b></div></td>
<td width="10%" valign="top"><div class="item"><b>Vendor Date</b></div></td>
<td width="10%" valign="top"><div class="item"><b>Created By</b></div></td>
</tr>
</xsl:if>
<tr>
<td width="8%" valign="top"><div class="item"><xsl:value-of select="@VendorID" /></div></td>
<td width="12%" valign="top"><div class="item"><xsl:value-of select="@Title" /></div></td>
<td width="50%" valign="top"><div class="item"><xsl:value-of select="@Vendor_x005F_x0020_Description" disable-output-escaping="yes" /></div></td>
<td width="10%" valign="top"><div class="item"><xsl:value-of select="@Vendor_x005F_x0020_Country" /></div></td>
<td width="10%" valign="top"><div class="item"><xsl:value-of select="@Vendor_x005F_x0020_Date" /></div></td>
<td width="10%" valign="top"><div class="item"><xsl:value-of select="@Author" /></div></td>
</tr>
</table>

Problem using alias field names in a sql query

Hello,
I have a question regarding a simple Oracle database SQL query writeup:
In the following (badly written but properly working) SQL query:
Query 1:
select
soe.field1,
(soe.field2 + soe.field3) as field4,
(soe.field5 - (soe.field2 + soe.field3)) as field6,
(select comp.parValue*soe.field7
from
CompTable comp) as parValue,
(select soe.field8 - (comp.parValue*soe.field7+ soe.field9)
from
CompTable comp) as field10
from
SomeTable soe
PROBLEM 1:
I am re writing the code (soe.field2 + soe.field3) to get the alias field4 or column name field4 that I have created on the fly in the previously for use with the following fields. Can't I rewrite the query as follows. There is something simple missing!
Query 2:
select
soe.field1,
(soe.field2 + soe.field3) as field4,
soe.field5 - field4 as field6, <<< field4 does not work here
(select
comp.parValue*soe.field7
from
CompTable comp) as parValue,
(select
soe.field8 - (comp.parValue*soe.field7+ soe.field9)
from
CompTable comp) as field10
from
SomeTable soe
PROBLEM 2:
Similar to the above problem, I was thinking to get a field parValue out of the CompTable table and re-use many times rather than the code shown in Query 1:
Query 3:
select
soe.field1,
(soe.field2 + soe.field3) as field4,
soe.field5 - field4 as field6,
soe.field7* (select comp.parValue from CompTable comp) as parValue1,
soe.field8 - (parValue1*soe.field7+ soe.field9) as field10 <<<< parvalue1 does not work here
parValue1*soe.field9 as TaxCondition <<<< parvalue1 does not work here
from
SomeTable soe
See that the query becomes so simple, but the above query does not work. There is something fundamentally wrong in my usage of the alias field names in creating other fields. The Query1 seems to be the only working option but its very slow as I am redoing and re-writing the whole code again and again to get the parValue field out of the CompTable table for use to create many other fields.
I will appreciate if you can guide me in the right direction on this issue.
Thanks and Regards

Using field names stored in the database in a query

Hi,
I'm working on a database that has field names stored in tables. In order to construct a query using the field names stored in the table, normally I'd use dynamic SQL.
For example in table1 I have
Field_Name Value
Field1
'Name'
Field 2
'Address'
I want to build a select statement "SELECT Name, Address, FROM tblCustTable" - if possible not using dynamic SQL.
Is there a neat way to do this?
Thanks very much.
Sad old developer

No, it is not possible to dynamically include ANY object names (Columns, Tables, Functions, Procedures, etc) in SQL without using Dynamic SQL.
The closest you can get, if you are choosing from a known set of names, is to use CASE statements:
SELECT CASE
WHEN t1.Field1='Name' THEN ct.[Name]
WHEN t1.Field1='Address' THEN ct.[Address]
END AS Field1
FROM tblCustTable ct
CROSSJOIN table1 t1
WHERE ...
However there are several disadvantages to this approach, and the SQL will quickly get very convoluted and difficult to maintain. Dynamic SQL is much cleaner.

Output Technical Field Names in the SAP query Output

Hi Experts,
I am new to SAP Query/ABAP Query or Quick Viewer. Just would like to know if there is a way whereby I can print the technical field names as opposed to the English field headers. For example I want to print BUKRS in the place of CoCode.
I have a vague feeling this could be possible through custom coding in SQ02 but have no idea which code section to choose.Any inputs greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance,

Hi Sreegopalan,
Open your infoset in SQ02, by default in the left hand side you'll be having the tables that you have selected, double click the field name which you want change the long text, it will open a attributes window below your field group. Change the header data text as you wish.
Please find the query documentation in the below link.

Alias a field name in a join query

I have a database with spaces in the field names (not my fault).
I am having a problem with the query because one of the fileds I am joining on has a space in its name. See bolded text.
SELECT *
FROM employee_passwords
INNER JOIN employee_general_info
ON employee_passwords.Employee_ID=employees.[Employee ID]
WHERE username = '#username#' AND password = '#password#'
So I get this error message
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Invalid object name 'employees.Employee ID'.
Is there a way to alias the employees.[Employee ID] field?

Should be
ON employee_passwords.Employee_ID=employee_general_info.[Employee ID]

Oracle 9ir2 Max length of element/field name?

Does anyone know what the max length of a element/field name can be in Oracle 9ir2?
thanks,
-mcd

Thanks.. So, the max length is still 30.. what about this:
Is this also true for the length of element names defined in an XML schema for use by Oracle XML DB?
There are two ways in which XDB can absorb a schema -- one that causes the XMLTYPE to be stored in a CLOB, the other causes the XMLTYPE to be broken down into relational tables behind the scenes. The latter uses the element names for the table names, so I'm assuming it would be restricted by the 30-character column name limit (unless XDB has some way of truncating the column names but preserving the element names). But what about the case where the XMLTYPE is stored in a CLOB? In theory, there's nothing limiting the length of the element name.

Cfoutput query and form field names

I have a form that have two field inputs. I would like to repeat the form fields as part of a cfoutput query. The first field of the form automatically populates the different person's name (via cfoutput query) and this form field is called "tenant". The next field of the form is called "sales". The sales field is left open for user imput. The entire form is in between the cfoutput query tags. When the cfoutput query is executed, Both form fields of the form is displayed with each tenant name listed in each of the first form fields of each row. The problem I'm running into is that even though the form elements appear to display correctly, I would like the name of each of my form elements in the cfoutput query, of each row to have a different form field name like, tenant2, sales2, tenant3, sales3 etc. is that possible?
Here's what my code look like.
<cfform action= "addsales.cfm" method="post">
<cfoutput query="tenantsales"><Input name="tenant" type="text" value="#office.tenant#" size="32" />
<select name="sales"><option>$5</option><option>$10</option><option>$12</option></br></cfoutput>
<input name="submit" type="submit" />
</cfform>

I cannot imagine why you would want to show a list of pre-populated input fields. What makes sense to me is a select-box. If that is indeed what you want, then you could do something like this:
<cfform action= "addsales.cfm" method="post">
<cfselect name="tenant">
<option value="">Tenant</option>
<cfoutput query="tenantsales">
<option value="#tenantsales.tenantID#">#tenantsales.tenantName#</option>
</cfoutput>
</cfselect></br>
<cfselect name="sales">
<option value="">Sales</option>
<option value="5">$5</option>
<option value="10">$10</option>
<option value="12">$12</option>
</cfselect></br>
<cfinput name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />
</cfform>
Like Dan, I have assumed your database table has a column for tenant ID.

Write a query for which has its field name as input parameter

Hi All,
I need to write a query for SSRS report. StartDate, EndDate and ChangedField are the input parameters.
Let's consider that we are taking employee details. The table contains lot of fields like emp name,add1,add2,city,state,country,designation,rank etc. We have almost 30 fields are there. These field name are coming as input parameter "ChangedField"
. I need to show the records which belong to the start date and end date also data change for the field which is given in the input parameter "ChangedField". That meand If I give ChangedField="city", we need to check for data which
has been updated with new City name in the given time period.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Julie

Hi Julie,
Per my understanding that you have many fields in the table to be displayed in the report, some of the fields will always show and others should be hide and show based on the selection of the parameters which include the columns names, right?
By default, we can't display columns dynamically in the report automatically without insert this column in the report before. So, in your scenario, I will suggest you to add all the columns in the reports first and then add show/hide expression on
the column visibility based on the selection of the parameter "ChangedField", when some of the fields selectted they will be display, otherwise they will be hidden. For the fields which you want to be always displayed will not need to add the expression
in the column visibility.
Details steps about how to acheive this, please referencet to the article below:
Displaying Dynamic Columns in SSRS Report
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
