Sql commands in RMAN

I tried to execute in Rman this SQL statement
sql 'alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT='MM-DD-YYYY'';
but rman gives me an error.
MM is a "bad identifier"...
I know that single quotes make some trouble....but I tried all
escape sequences (duoble quotes, Backslash etc)
None of them worked....
what can i do???
thx in advance.

From Oracle8i Recovery manager User's Guide and Reference,
p. 10-150
If the string that RMAN passes to PL/SQL contains a filename,
then the filename must be enclosed in duplicate single
quotes and the entire string following the sql parameter
must be enclosed in double quotes.
Try
RMAN> sql "alter session set nls_date_format=''DD-MON-YY''";

FLASHBACK Database : rman vs sql command differnces

I am new to Oracle and want understand the difference and which is the correct way of flashing back the database?
RMAN command vs SQL Command on using FLASHBACK DATABASE
SQL> FLASHBACK DATABASE TO RESTORE POINT BEFORE_ONLINE_TEST; {CODE} Vs rman> run{
     flashback database to restore point BEFORE_TEST_320130313;
     sql "alter database open resetlogs"; }
Referring this article on http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmflash.htm#BGBDCAFA it says we can use both RMAN and SQL command for database flashback.
Questions:
1. Difference between using RMAN and SQL command on database flashback?
2. When to use RMAN or SQL on the database flashback?
3. Which is the Oracle recommended or best way ?

When we issue the SQL Plus command, if there is need of old database backup of archive log, how does that SQL Plus communicate with rman recovery catalog and retrieve?

How to create backup using sql commands

can i create a backup using sql/sqlplus commands

I would actually advice you to use RMAN, instead of backup using sql commands, but if you want or have a requirment to do so..
First off all you should ensire that your databasse is in archilog mode.. (ALL PRODUCTION DATABASES should be in archivelog mode)
you can do it using sql*plus
archive log list
Then if you would like to make a cold backup (the only one posible in noarchivelog mode)
ypu have to
shutdown immediate
copy all database files (you don't need to copy redo logs) to another device
startup - to startup database
Actually I will suggest that your read User manager Recovery guide from oracle documentation

Os commands in rman

hi friends,
In sqlplus , we can run linux cmds using '!' sign.
Similarly, can we run linux cmds in rman command prompt.

First of all, it is very important to specify your DB version, rman has changed each time a new oracle version is released, and depending on the version there are commands such as recover, alter database, and other which can be issued from recovery manager without requiring a special syntax. The standard compatible way to issue sql commands from recovery manager is:
run{ sql 'alter database mout';}
You should bear in mind that the sql commands supported by recovery manager are related to database management, such as startup, shutdown, recover, alter database, etc. Commands requiring a fetch operation such as SELECT are not supported.
Take a look at this example
RMAN> startup mount;
Oracle instance started
database mounted
Total System Global Area     209715200 bytes
Fixed Size                      788696 bytes

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.

Query help in sql commands

using apex 4.1 i'm entering the following query in the sql command window and I keep getting a pop-up for Entering Bind Variable. I'm not using bind variables though, anyone else see this issue before?
SELECT A.FIRST,A.LAST,A.COMPANY AS CNAME,
J.TOT_MAN_HOURS,
J.ACREAGE,
W.NUM_WORKERS,
W.START_DT
FROM EW_ACCOUNTS A, EW_WORK_ORDER W, EW_JOBS J
WHERE A.ID = J.ACCT_ID
AND J.JOB_ID = W.JOB_ID
AND W.START_DT >= SYSDATE
AND W.START_DT < SYSDATE+1
ORDER BY W.START_DT

I tried that and it didn't seem to help either.
Funny though, if I write a new query against just one of the tables and write out each column name. it works. If I use the * instead of writing each column name, I have the same issue.
This is in apex.appshosting.com free demo environment. I sent them an email asking about it and they told me it was a code issue and they don't support the demo environment.

Delete table in SQL command

Hello,
As part of my report I populate a table then reference it in several following subreports.
The issue I'm having is that I need to clear all the data from my table after using it to allow the report to run again (and not get multiple results)
To do this I have tried to add a sub report at the very end (and start) of my report with the SQL command truncate table <tablename> or delete <tablename> or delete <tablename> where 1 = 1.
When I try truncate I get an error saying that I don't have permission (despite granting it but hey...) which is why I switched to delete, this runs fine but the table doesn't get deleted...
Any thoughts as to why this isn't working/how I can clear my table? I have thought of setting up a separate scheduled job to delete the table contents however I do also need to run the report several times with different parameters so this isn't an ideal solution.
I have tried adding a select after my delete statement as I thought if it had something to display on the report it would have to look at it but this didn't make any difference.
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks
Chris

Thanks for that!
I have had a go at this and I can see how it will work although I have limited access on the Crystal userid I have so will need to have the SP created as part of our nightly refresh script I think.
Is there no way of getting crystal to run my delete statement otherwise?
Thanks again
Chris

Crystal Report performance - subreports or sql command?

Hello,
bit of quandary, I've an existing report that contains six subreports all sharing the same parameter to the main report, a 'projectID' field.
The main report approximately returns 300 records/projects and each of the 6 subreports are passed the corresponding 'projectID' field 300 times.
Now, I've succesfully incorporated the main report query and corresponding subreports into a TSQL command containing a number of subqueries in the Select clause:
SELECT   PROJECT.PROJECTID, PROJECT.TITLE, PROJECT.REFERENCE, PROJECTSTATUS.PROJECTSTATUS, PROJECT.INPUT_DATE
,(SELECT max(INPUT_DATE) FROM V_PROJECT_NOTE AS VPN
WHERE PROJECT.PROJECTID = VPN.PROJECTID) AS LastHeadline
,(SELECT
MAX(CASE
     WHEN MODIFIED_DATE IS NULL THEN INPUT_DATE
     WHEN INPUT_DATE > MODIFIED_DATE THEN INPUT_DATE
          ELSE MODIFIED_DATE
END) FROM ISSUE WHERE PROJECT.PROJECTID = ISSUE.PROJECTID) AS LastNewIssue
,(SELECT max(ISSUENOTE.INPUT_DATE) FROM ISSUE
INNER JOIN ISSUENOTE ON ISSUE.ISSUEID = ISSUENOTE.ISSUEID
WHERE PROJECT.PROJECTID = ISSUE.PROJECTID ) AS LastIssueNote
,(SELECT max(modified_date) FROM V_PROJECT_RISK_LAST_AMMENDED AS VPR
WHERE PROJECT.PROJECTID = VPR.PROJECTID) AS LastRiskLogUpdate
,(SELECT max(INPUT_DATE) FROM PROJECT_CHECKLIST AS PC
WHERE PROJECT.PROJECTID = PC.PROJECTID) AS LastChecklistUpdate
,(SELECT max(input_date) FROM V_PROJECT_ACTIVITY_LAST_AMMENDED AS VPA
WHERE PROJECT.PROJECTID = VPA.PROJECTID) AS LastGANTTUpdate
,V_PROJECT_KEYCONTACT.USERNAME AS KeyContact
,(SELECT     USERPROFILE.USERNAME AS Supervisor
FROM         USERPROFILE INNER JOIN
                      PROJECT_MEMBER AS SUPERVISOR ON USERPROFILE.USERID = SUPERVISOR.USERID RIGHT OUTER JOIN
                      PROJECT_MEMBER AS KEYCONTACT ON SUPERVISOR.PROJECT_MEMBERID = KEYCONTACT.PARENTID
WHERE PROJECT.PROJECTID = KEYCONTACT.PROJECTID
AND KEYCONTACT.KEY_CONTACT =1) AS Supervisor
FROM         PROJECT INNER JOIN
                      PROJECTSTATUS ON PROJECT.PROJECTSTATUSID = PROJECTSTATUS.PROJECTSTATUSID LEFT OUTER JOIN
                      V_PROJECT_KEYCONTACT ON PROJECT.PROJECTID = V_PROJECT_KEYCONTACT.PROJECTID
WHERE V_PROJECT_KEYCONTACT.USERNAME IN ('aaa','bbb','ccc')
AND (PROJECTSTATUS.PROJECTSTATUS IN ('111', '222', '333'))
AND ((PROJECT.TITLE NOT LIKE 'xxx%') AND (PROJECT.TITLE NOT LIKE 'yyy%') AND (PROJECT.TITLE NOT LIKE 'zzz%'))
ORDER BY V_PROJECT_KEYCONTACT.USERNAME, PROJECT.INPUT_DATE
Now, I've run both SQL Server Profiler and looked at the Performance Information in Crystal and the SQL command method is an order of magnitude less efficient!!
I may have to post my query on a TSQL forum but was wondering if anyone on here can possible shed any light on it?
Thanks in advance,
Dom

Dom,
I assume that the last edit was to remove a few curse words...
The reality is that we can give a good explanation as to why the sub-report version would execute faster that the command version w/o seeing the report (with the sub-reports included).
Looking at the SQL, I can tell that it's a fairly expensive query, firing several sub-queries for every row returned by the outer query. That said, I sounds like the same thing is taking place with the sub-report version too... So I would think that the performance would be similar.
The only thing that I can think of, and this is just a guess... With the sub-report version, each all queries are being run independently and then combined locally by CR, whereas the command version, everything is combined. The more complex the query, the harder the optimizer has to work to come up with the best execution plan... and the greater the likelihood that that the resulting plan isn't as optimized as it could be.
That said, I'd still think the command version would be faster over all. Are you seeing real differences between the two reports, in the amount of time that it takes from refresh to final render?
Either way, I think moving all of those sub-queries from the select list (where they are executing once for every row) down to the FROM area (where they only have to execute once) should increase the speed dramatically and surpass the sub-report version by a decent margin.
Give this version of your SQL a test drive and see if it yields an improvement.

Query running on sql commands prompt not running on report region

Hi All,
Facing a weird issue now. I have written a report query which is running absolutely fine in sql command prompt but when i trying to run this as a report it is just processing and the report is not loading. What could be the reason behing this?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
With no other information about the problem is hard to know what's happening. If you could at least provide us with the query then I think it would be easier for us to help you.

"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

Without using SubReport or SQL Command in Main Report, get desired results without duplicating

It seems so simple. I just need the cost, at a certain time (based on a parameter), for each item. I wrote a SQL Command that works beautifully, but when it connects to the existing report, it slows to a horrible crawl and cannot be used for tables with over 4 million records. Here is the SQL Command that provides the desired results:
SELECT TOP 1 WITH TIES "INVENTITEMPRICE"."ITEMID", "INVENTITEMPRICE"."PRICETYPE", "INVENTITEMPRICE"."MARKUP", "INVENTITEMPRICE"."PRICEUNIT", "INVENTITEMPRICE"."PRICE", "INVENTITEMPRICE"."PRICEQTY", "INVENTITEMPRICE"."ACTIVATIONDATE", "INVENTITEMPRICE"."DATAAREAID"
FROM ("AX09PROD"."dbo"."INVENTITEMPRICE" "INVENTITEMPRICE" INNER JOIN "AX09PROD"."dbo"."INVENTTABLE" "INVENTTABLE" ON (("INVENTITEMPRICE"."ITEMID"="INVENTTABLE"."ITEMID") AND ("INVENTITEMPRICE"."DATAAREAID"="INVENTTABLE"."DATAAREAID")))
WHERE ("INVENTITEMPRICE"."DATAAREAID"=N'TMC' AND "INVENTITEMPRICE"."PRICETYPE"=0 AND "INVENTITEMPRICE"."ACTIVATIONDATE"<={?As Of Date})
ORDER BY ROW_NUMBER () OVER(PARTITION BY "INVENTITEMPRICE"."ITEMID" ORDER BY "INVENTITEMPRICE"."ACTIVATIONDATE" DESC)
I've attached the report with saved data. However, when I remove the restrictions of just certain items, it is unusable as it is SO SLOW!
I can also get the desired results from using a subreport but it takes forever to export due to the number of records/items. Whenever possible, I avoid subreports for this reason. I've attached that report with data as well.
Please be patient as I'm not savvy in SQL, but decent in generating reports. What am I doing wrong? This seems SO simple. The premise is that I want the corresponding information based on the date entered: If the date entered is 3/15/2014, the result should be 91.15 as indicated below. I'd simply like this value to be placed in a formula per item.
Item 80014:
Activation Date
Cost Price
6/2/2014
104.43
4/1/2014
91.58
3/1/2014
91.15
2/1/2014
92.89
1/1/2014
93.57
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!
Teena
Update: I was unable to attach the reports with .rpt or .txt extensions. There were well under 1MB. Any suggestions?

hi Teena,
if you're going the inline subquery route, try something like the following...the last line in the sub-query 'where' clause should in theory take care of matching the correct price based on relating the item id's between your cost price & inventory data. this should leave you with distinct values for each itemid then. hopefully it won't error out as i'm just guessing on the syntax.
SELECT DISTINCT

"INVENTTRANS"."DATAAREAID",
"INVENTTRANS"."DATEPHYSICAL",

Problem creating a SQL command object and adding it to a Crystal report

Hi,
I'm trying to add the following SQL command object with the following sql for MYSQL 5.1
SELECT lic.id, lic.productionname, comp.companyname, lic.paymentreceiveddate, lic.licenseissuedate,
IFNULL((SELECT sum(licsong.feequoted) from licensesong licsong where licsong.licenseid = lic.id), 0) as totalfeequoted,
IFNULL((SELECT sum(licsong.feetax) from licensesong licsong where licsong.licenseid = lic.id), 0) as totalfeetax,
IFNULL((SELECT sum(licsong.feequoted + licsong.feetax) from licensesong licsong where licsong.licenseid = lic.id), 0) as totalfee,
IFNULL((SELECT sum(pay.fullamount) from payment pay where pay.licenseid = lic.id),0) as totalpaid
FROM license lic
INNER JOIN company comp on lic.licensecompanyid= comp.id;
This sql runs fine in the Query Browser of mysql and returns what I want.
When I try to add this SQL command to a new Crystal Report, (by right clicking in the sql editor and selecting Crystal Reports - Add to new Crystal Report), it locks up my Eclipses and it ends up not responding. If I just do a simple SELECT * FROM license it works fine.
The Eclipse I'm using is from the CR4E download page with the crystal plugin already installed.
Any help with this would be greatful, as I am not having much joy with this CR4E 2.0 with MySQL and may have to scrap it and go back creating reports in Apache POI.
Any help greatly received.
Kind regards

Hi,
Try to select a particular columns instead of doing SELECT * FROM license.
Thanks,

How can I search multiple columns in a SQL command of Union tables

Hi:
We have a database with tables that are nearly identical that we use for production and production history.
I have created an SQL command in Crystal 2008 to joins several of the tables and then added a "UNION" to connect the History and Prod tables.
I need to search multiple (3 total) columns for 5 different data types, to return the records being investigated. I tried this using an "OR" statement in the where clause and have had inconsistant results.
The first two or statement function perfectly the third works as long as the value being passed is numeric and the last two fail consistantly with invalid column name errors. It appears that crystal is getting confused and passing the wrong data type especially if I do a new search using a different option for the "?SearchParam"
Can some one offer some insite on how I can search these fields to return the record data needed
-- {?SearchParam} is the search parameter passed by Crystal that is a number 1 thru 5
-- {?Search_Val} is a parameter that is passed by Crystal that is a string of what to search for 1 = Numeric CMP ord #("TBSLI21"."LI21_OR_NO"), 2 = Numeric CI ord # ( "TBSLI33"."LI33_CI_OR_NO"),
--   3 =String Ext Sys ord string ("TBSLI33"."LI33_EXT_SYS_SL_OR_NO"), 4 = String CMP Grp string ("TBSLI21"."LI21_OP_GRP_NO"), 5 = composit string PP ord string ("TBSOP13"."OP13_CLR_DAY" & "TBSOP13"."OP13_PP_GRP_SEQ_NO" & "TBSOP13"."OP13_CELL_ID")

This is actually a fairly easy fix - because of the way the "OR" works in SQL, you need to surround each "set" of statements in the or with parentheses. So, it would look something like this:
Where
({?aSearchParam} = 1 and "MFG_PLANT_LI"."PRFR_MFG_PLANT_FLG"='Y' AND "TBSLI21"."LI21_OR_NO"=Cast( {?Search_Val} as Int))
or
({?aSearchParam} = 2 and "MFG_PLANT_LI"."PRFR_MFG_PLANT_FLG"='Y' AND "TBSLI33"."LI33_CI_OR_NO"=Cast( {?Search_Val} as numeric(12,0)))
or
({?aSearchParam} = 3 and "MFG_PLANT_LI"."PRFR_MFG_PLANT_FLG"='Y' AND Convert( VarChar(20),"TBSLI33"."LI33_EXT_SYS_SL_OR_NO")= Convert( VarChar(20), {?Search_Val}))
or
({?aSearchParam} = 4 and "MFG_PLANT_LI"."PRFR_MFG_PLANT_FLG"='Y' AND Convert( VarChar(8),"TBSLI21"."LI21_OP_GRP_NO") = Convert( VarChar(8), {?GroupNo}))
or
({?aSearchParam} = 5 and "MFG_PLANT_LI"."PRFR_MFG_PLANT_FLG"='Y' AND Convert( VarChar(8), ("TBSOP13"."OP13_CLR_DAY" & "TBSOP13"."OP13_PP_GRP_SEQ_NO" & "TBSOP13"."OP13_CELL_ID")) = Convert( VarChar(8), {?GroupNo}))
