SQL command to feed a dynamic param

I have created a sql statement :-
SELECT "SRMHOST"."HOSTNAME"
FROM "EMCSTS"."SRMAGENTCOMPONENT" "SRMAGENTCOMPONENT" INNER JOIN "EMCSTS"."SRMHOST" "SRMHOST" ON "SRMAGENTCOMPONENT"."HOSTKEY"="SRMHOST"."HOSTKEY"
WHERE "SRMAGENTCOMPONENT"."AGENTDESC" LIKE 'Host%' AND "SRMAGENTCOMPONENT"."COMPSTATUS"='inactive' AND "SRMAGENTCOMPONENT"."COMPVERSION" LIKE '6.1%'
It just displays host names, which match the "where".
I want to use the output from this command to feed a dynamic param. I am able to create the param, and set it to record selection, but i get presented with the list of "hostnames", and have to make a selection(s).
I want the output from the sql command to just feed the dynamic param without any interaction from myself. I do not see a setting to do this.

I my short experience with SQL, I learned that linking from the crystal reports database expert to a command field is very slow indeed, and short of doing your whole select statement SQL. I do not know anyway around it.

Dynamic SQL Command Queries Using Parameters

Post Author: tdoman
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I'm using Crystal Reports 11 and am trying to dynamically build part of the "Where" clause in the SQL command query to filter data on the server before the results are sent to the client. I'm doing this to decrease the load time of my reports by not having to send a large set of data to the client, then filter the results on the client side.
I want to create a parameter list that is dynamically generated from a table in a database and allows you to select mutiple values from that list. For example: I have two tables. One employee table and one employee type table. The employee table lists all employees and their related employee types (full-time, part-time, and contractor). The employee type table lists the employee types that will dynamically be loaded into the parameters list.
Employee Table
ID    Name       TypeID
1     Bob          2
2     Steve        1
3     John         3
4     Bill            1
Employee Type Table
ID   Type
1     Full-Time
2     Part-Time
3     Contractor
Assuming the user selects u2018Full-Timeu2019 and u2018Contractoru2019 from the parameter list, the SQL command query I want to generate is as follows:
SELECT *
FROM emp, emp_type
WHERE emp.ID = emp_type.ID and emp.TypeID in (u20181u2019, u20183u2019)
I tried building the following SQL command query so it would dynamically replace {?EmpType} with the IDu2019s of the types the user selected but it doesnu2019t work. Any ideas how to fix this?
SELECT *
FROM emp, emp_type
WHERE emp.ID = emp_type.ID and emp.TypeID in ({?EmpType})

Post Author: tdoman
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
btw...I just realized I had a typo in my "where" clause of the previous example. It should have been like so:WHERE emp.TypeID = emp_type.ID and emp.TypeID in (u20181u2019, u20183u2019) satish_nair31:
Instead of passing the filter condition as parameter it would be fine if you pass it by ReportViewer.SelectionFormula Property.
The selection formula property of report viewer control will dynamically append the where condition with the SQL value. You will pass the filter condition as per the syntax of language supported by crystal reports.I believe using the ReportViewer.SelectionFormula property you are referring to is only available if I'm loading the report through a VB application. If this is true, then this option will not work for me because I'm loading the report in a browser from the Crystal Report web server and currently don't have a VB application that can load the report. If I did, then I could dynamically build the SQL string using VB then pass it to the Crystal Report on the fly.But I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to do it without loading the report using VB. Please correct me if I'm wrong on these assumptions.

SQL Command Dynamic Parameters

I have several reports which run on SQL commands. I created a number of parameters and inserted them into the Command. When I then modify the parameters to be 'dynamic', I get 2 sets of prompts.
I'm told this is a bug in XI. I'm using Crystal reports 2008. Does anybody know if there is a fix for this bug?

Use a separate Command to pull your LoVs (make sure that it's doesn't require any parameters). There should be no need to link the LoV Command to your main data Command... Just make sure you aren't placing any of the LoV fields on the report.

Passing table names as parameters (aka Trouble building a dynamic SQL command)

I am attempting to develop a template for publishing some data, and would like to pass standard table names as parameters to the various queries. What I have created generates the following error:
Msg 137, Level 16, State 1, Procedure spPublishTrans_FlashersCaution, Line 68
Must declare the scalar variable "@tmpTable".
I thought I was declaring it properly ?
Thanks.
DECLARE @FeatureClass as Nvarchar(MAX) = 'Trans_FlashersCaution'
DECLARE @ED as Nvarchar(MAX) = 'edgis.dbo.' + @FeatureClass
DECLARE @tmpTable TABLE
[OBJECTID] [int] NOT NULL,
[Id] [int] NULL,
[Location] [nvarchar](60) NULL,

EXECUTE sp_executesql @execquery

Always PRINT the SQL string prior to execution when developing dynamic SQL script:
PRINT @execquery
--EXECUTE sp_executesql @execquery
Second step, test the printed SQL script for validity.

Passing Params & Formulas to SQL Command & Strd Proc in CR 11.5 & 2008 - 1

I am working with CR 11.5 and heavily use SQL Command rewrites and Stored Procedures (SPs)with the usual limitation that only single parameter values can be passed into SPs, and Parameters must be created within the SQL Command editor (and cannot be referenced to those generated in Field Explorer, or can they?)
I understand from BE/CR's sales material for CR 2008 that multiple values can now be used under these conditions. As I recall, Multivalue Parameters are actually arrays that can be made into comma delimited strings.
Local StringVar StringExpression;
Local NumberVar ArrayCount := Count({?Code});
Local NumberVar i;
if ArrayCount = 0
   then StringExpression := ""
else
   StringExpression := {?Code}[1];
   i := 2;
While i <= ArrayCount Do
    StringExpression := StringExpression + ", " + {?Code}<i>;
    i := i + 1;
See part 2 for continuation....

Here is my use case (since most of my reports are against very large databases, running "tuned" SQL Commands is essential).
SELECT
PERSON.PatientName,
PROBLEM.Code,
PROBLEM.Description
LASTLABS.HDID,
RPTOBS.ObsDate,
RPTOBS.ObsValue
FROM

    PROBLEM ON

      LASTLABS.HDID IN (28, 53, 67, 102) LEFT OUTER JOIN      -- Paramaterize
    RPTOBS ON
     (LASTLABS.HDID = C.HDID AND
      LASTLABS.MaxObsDate = RPTOBS.ObsDate AND
      LASTLABS.PId = RPTOBS.PId AND
      RPTOBS.Change IN (2, 5, 7))                             -- Paramaterize
WHERE
    (PROBLEM.Code LIKE '249%' OR                              -- Paramaterize
     PROBLEM.Code LIKE '250%' OR                              -- Paramaterize
     PROBLEM.Code IN ('V77.1', 'V80')                         -- Paramaterize
What I am looking for is a Parameterized form as follows....
SELECT
PERSON.PatientName,
PROBLEM.Code,
PROBLEM.Description
PROBLEM.Qualifier,
LASTLABS.HDID,
RPTOBS.ObsDate,
RPTOBS.ObsValue
FROM

    LASTLABS ON
     (PERSON.PId = LASTLABS.PId AND
      LASTLABS.HDID ({?HDID_In_Param}) LEFT OUTER JOIN          -- Paramaterize
    RPTOBS ON
     (LASTLABS.HDID = RPTOBS.HDID AND
      LASTLABS.MaxObsDate = RPTOBS.ObsDate AND
      LASTLABS.PID = RPTOBS.PID AND
      RPTOBS.Change ({?Change_In_Param}))                       -- Paramaterize

     PROBLEM.Code {?Code_In_Param})                             -- Paramaterize
Is this possible? Has it been thought of yet. Has passing in well-constructed @formulas been considered?

"Between NVL" - Works in SQL Command, not in APEX report region

First, I realize I could use dynamic SQL (model 4), but I don't want to (too hard just yet).
I have a select statement with a series of Where conditions that employ values, in bind variables, supplied by the user.
I want the choice of parameters to be optional, so I am checking for and replacing nulls.
Select emp_name from employee_table where
emp_rating between nvl(:p7_rating_choice, 0) and nvl(:p7_rating_choice, 99)
and
emp_language_no between nvl(:p7_lang_choice, 0) and nvl(:p7_lang_choice, 99);
(the binds should be numeric).
The actual statement is quite a bit longer, but the point is that the BETWEEN NVL(:x, min) AND NVL(:x, max) piece does not seem to work when used in a report region.
It works fine if ALL parameters are provided, but returns an error if one or more are null.
In the SQL command window it works (with a pop-up) just fine.
By the way, the :p7_lang_choice bind variable is chosen from a LOV list which works in all other cases.
Also, if I disable nulls (choosing "no" in ITEM page), everything works fine. It seems that the substitution of the min and max values via the NVL returns the wrong data type.
Any ideas what I have done wrong?

Thanks Scott.
Every day brings a little more understanding!
I also noticed a simplified method in the APEX documentation (although there was no explanation of the code) as follows:
Where
(column = :p1_user_input_1 OR :p1_user_input_1 = [null substitution value])
AND
(column = :p1_user_input_2 OR :p1_user_input_2 = [null substitution value])
AND
etc...
Using the value you provide in the LOV section for the null, the second part of the OR handles the null situation.
For some reason I was so tied up with comparing to the column that I never thought to have an OR with a compare to something else.
Oh well.
Thanks,
Norm

Executing a SQL Command in my bean class

Hello everyone,
I'm using JDeveloper 12.1.2.0.0.
I have an interest in executing a query in my bean method. I've done some research and i still got a code but it can't find the method that the method requires so i tried to added the query in my AppModule and i've added my method as a data control but how can i access it and modify it in my bean method?
The page with the code that doesn't find the method: http://jjzheng.blogspot.pt/2010/11/run-single-query-in-application-module.html
Which gives me: "Method 'getDBTransaction' not found"
The page that creates my method as a data control: http://amit-adf-work.blogspot.pt/2013/09/how-to-execute-sql-using-adf-application.html
Is any of this the right way? How can i execute a SQL Command in my bean class?
Regards,
Frederico.

This is the code I use
// GET A METHOD FROM PAGEDEF AND EXECUTE IT
// get the binding containe
BindingContainer bindings = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
// get an Action or MethodAction
OperationBinding method = bindings.getOperationBinding("YourMethodAction");
// if there are parameters to set...
Map paramsMap = method.getParamsMap();
paramsMap.put("param","value") ;
// execute the method
method.execute();
List errors = method.getErrors();
if (!errors.isEmpty())
// handle errors here errors is a list of exceptions!
// no error resume normal work

How to pass SQL command parameter using OpenDocument

Hi !
I have a dynamic List of values configured in Business View manager, used across multiple reports.
The data source for this LOV is a SQL Command which accepts a static parameter named stringParam. I need to pass this static parameter in the URL using OpenDocument command. How can I do this?
I tried
http://bobjdev/businessobjects/enterprise115/InfoView/scripts/opendocument.aspx?spath=[ReportFolder]&sDocName=WebReport.rpt&stype=rpt&lsSstringParam=ABC
but it still prompts me to select the parameter. I need to avoid this prompt.
Any help, please.

Hi,
I would recommend to take a look at the documentation in order to identify the correct syntax for your URL

JDBC: send batch of SQL commands as anonymous PL/SQL block

Hi All,
I did a little measurement to see if I can improve jdbc
applications by batching dissimilar SQL commands into one
anonymous PL/SQL block and execute it once. To my surprise, for
a batch of 5 SQL commands, it take 60% more time than execute
each of the 5 SQL commands separately.
The same JDBC code, using similar SQL text batching, running
against Sybase or MSSQL shows 60%-300% improvement.
Is there any other way to batch dynamic dissimilar SQL commands
in Oracle other than using anonymous PL/SQL block? Here is an
example of how the "text-batching" PL/SQL block looks like:
"begin insert into testtab1(col1, col2) values(1, 'row1');
insert into testtab2(col1, col2) values(100, 1);....; end;"
Thanks,

If you do:

l_value varchar2(32767);
begin
select query_sql into l_sql from lov where lov_id = 100;
dbms_output.put_line(l_sql);
end;
You'll see something like that:

Sql commands in cmd file

I have been forced to write some simple scripts for Windows users who use Oracle. I used to write in bash/ksh and have no experience at all about windows scripts. What I figured out is :
cmd file:
echo off
set script_dir= .
set log=%script_dir%\log\db.log
set scrsql=%script_dir%\db.sql
sqlplus /nolog @%scrsql% >> %log%
so my questions are :
- I would like to have all commands ( batch and sql) visible inside cmd file. Is it any way to put sql commands line by line into cmd file ?
- how to redirect output of sql command ( for example simple select ) to screen or file
- how to put external parameter into sql command ( for example select xx from yy where zz=@param)
KP>

well, I do not see too much responses for my question - maybe it was not clear enough ?
Let me write it in this way:
I have a short ksh script:
+#!/usr/bin/ksh+
LOG_DIR=$ORACLE_HOME/dba/scripts/log
LOG=$LOG_DIR/log.txt
VAR=$2
export ORACLE_SID=$1
sqlplus -s '/as sysdba' << ! >> $LOG << call sqlplus commands inside a script
whenever sqlerror exit failure;
select * from table where columnsvalue= $VAR; << use variable in sql query
+!+
How to convert, in most easy way, such a script to windows batch. If I get an answer it solves almost all problems I have.

Is there a way to execute the SQL command in PLSQL block

Hi all
With reference to the above subject do you have any example.
Thanks in advance.

What sort of SQL command do you have in mind? DML can easily be wrapped in PL/SQL blocks. DDL requires the use of dynamic SQL such as EXECUTE IMMEDIATE.

    The current ABAP program "CL_UJE_MEMACCESS_CACHE========CP" had to be
     terminated because it has

Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_DYNAMIC_OSQL_SEMANTICS', was

    The reason for the exception is:
    An invalid table name "/1CPMB/RDWCSUMAS" was specified in an Open SQL command:
    Due to one of the following reasons, the error occurs only at runtime:
    - the table name was specified dynamically, or

Hi Naresh,
As far as I know You have specify Explicit Access to all the dimensions mentioned as Secured in your Application.
You can't skip the secured Dimesions.
In your case if you want to restrict only one dimension for 1 Member Access Profile then give Read & Write access to other 2 Dimensions and select ALL members.
This might solve your problem.
Hope it helps.

Mixing SQL Command parameters and UI created parameters

Post Author: shecter
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I'm using Crystal Reports XI. I've created a report with an SQL Command - no other tables or views. I want to allow my users to be able to choose data from a dynamic parameter and have the SQL read that and spit out the results. I was able to add a parameter to the SQL using the Parameter column in the Command window. This allows my user to type in a parameter. However, when I run the report after creating a parameter using the UI (i.e. Field Explorer/Parameters/right clicking and selecting "new" and then adding the parameter to a field using the selection wizard), i first get a screen that shows me the parameter that I created in the SQL Command window, then I get a screen that shows me the UI created parameters. How can I make it show only one screen with all the parameters? -Marc

Possible to change the datasource from a business-view to a Sql Command ?

Hello,
When a business view contains a lot of elements it takes a while just to open the report.
We'd like to keep the BV as the dictionnary, but,
once the report design completed,
we'd like to disconnect the business view and replace it by the Sql command which can be seen in the menu option 'show SQL query'.
Is it possible via the RAS sdk ?
Did somebody experience this ?
How to proceed ?
Thanks a lot
Alain

Hi Ted,
I'm thinking opening a Case for this problem of opening reports based on a big BV.
We can't really reduce the BV, since it is the dictionnary and we need the whole thing...
I'm wondering why it is impossible to change the Datasource if the tables and fields underneath are identical.
Is it impossible to change the fields' mapping ?
The other solution, as you suggest, is to create a report from scratch, create a new Datasource with the Sql command format, and rebuild the report... I agree it looks like a big job...
Do you know if it is possible to export the report in XML for instance, change the XML, and then re-import ?
Thanks for your Help.
