SQL field (not large enough) - Create Report Dialog - User Defined Reports

When creating a user defined report it would be good to have the sql field the query is entered into bigger. The tiny size is awkward for large queries.

When you increase the window size, we increase horizontally but not vertically. I will log an enhancement request to see if we can get it longer.

Error creating a user defined report in the grid control

I am trying to create a simple User Defined report in the Grid OEM
Under the 'Elements' tab I have a 'Type' - 'Database Table from SQL'
And I have this 'Statement' - SELECT * FROM SYS.DBA_USERS
When I Click the 'Preview' button I get this error.
Error rendering element. Exception: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
I'm logged on as SYSTEM.
Isn't the SYS.DBA_USERS table accessible by SYSTEM?
Any advice on what I'm doing wrong/

What are the tricks?
It has to be some what supported since I found this somewhere in an Oracle note...
How to create custom reports on tables other than mgmt* views.
To create reports on other tables, grant permissions to MGMT_VIEW user as MGMT_VIEW is responsible for creating reports in grid control
SQL> GRANT SELECT on SYSMAN.<table_name> to MGMT_VIEW;
And then create the reports in the reporting framework referencing SYSMAN.<table_name> in the query.
I tried GRANT SELECT on SYS.DBA_USERS to MGNT_VIEW but this did not work.

Minor problem creating user defined reports

Hi:
I noticed that when you create a new user defined report or folder
-> right click on User Defined Rpeports and choose 'Add Folder' or 'Add Report'
the cursor focus is on the *Name field, but if you type nothing happens.
Then you click on another field (i.e.: Description, Tooltip...) and what you typed in *Name appears in the field you selected. This is not correct.
I see this on the Linux version.
Does the same happen on other operating systems?
Thanks,
Andrea

Thank you.
I am running Fedora FC4 with Sun JDK-1.5.0_06
Anyone else notices the same behaviour?
Happy new year everyone,

Keep Buffer Cache Not Large Enough

What happens if I pin a table/index in the keep buffer cache but the keep buffer cache is not large enough? How does oracle determine what to initially put into the keep buffer cache and what to leave out?

>
Well, I got some of them directly from the Oracle docs:
“A good candidate for a segment to put into the KEEP
pool is a segment that is smaller than 10% of the
size of the DEFAULT buffer pool and has incurred at
least 1% of the total I/Os in the system”.
But the rules you quoted in your previous post were - not the rule you got from Oracle !
- Use the KEEP pool if the object consumes more than 10% of the total size of the data buffer.
- Use the KEEP pool if more than 50% of the objects blocks already resides in the data buffer, according to an x$bh query.
But I agree, I use my own set of decision rules, which vary by system.
There is no "one size fits all" set of rules . . . . . But you just said you use the rules you got from Oracle in the previous post that:
The placement criteria for tables and indexes into the KEEP buffer are straightforward:
Please make up your mind.
By the way, your script hot_buffers.sql from the page you mentioned above has a few errors in it. The join between x$bh and dba_objects should be on data_object_id, not on object_id; and by joining dba_objects to dba_segments on object_name = segment_name you've introduced a lot of errors relating to index-organised tables, partitioned tables, clusters etc.
Please see Metalink note: 135223.1. Although it's got a couple of things in it that appeared back in the days of 8i (the original document was written in 1998 I believe) it has a better analysis of the issues.

I have just installed Photoshop Elements for a MAC. MY photos were in iPhoto, I have 47,000 pictures and my drive on my Mac laptop is not large enough. I store my photos in iPhoto on an external drive. Can I store all my photos on an external drive when using Photoshop Elements? If so, in what format should they be stored in? I do I move them from iPhoto to the new storage location? How do I call them up in organizer? And how do I call them up to Edit? I do not want to store any pictures on my Apple Mac laptop. I want to store pictures on several external devices.

Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

Not able to edit user defined reports

Hi,
I've run into an issue recently with user defined reports. After some time, I'm not able to edit them. This only happens on some of them. Is there a way to work around this?
Thanks.

Hi,
The platform is Windows XP Pro (32 bit) sp3, sql developer 1.5.5 (although I've seen this happen on earlier versions as well). After some time, some reports become un-editable. If I right click on the report and click edit, nothing happens. I've also tried exporting and re-importing the reports, but that doesn't seem to help.
Also, I open it up via sqldeveloper.exe, but no console window come up.

Storing User defined reports in SQL Developer

Hi All,
I have created some user defined reports in SQL Developer. My company requested me to update the OS from Win XP to Win 7. I forgot to export those reports. I got my machine back, they said that the data is retained. Now i need to take those reports back. Can anyone tell me in which folder would SQL Developer stores the User Defined Reports by default? My bad I dont remeber the Report Name too.
Can anyone help me on this?

4.1EA2 User-Defined-Report strips CRLF when using PL/SQL DBMS Output

Hi,
I have a report with a child report.
That child report uses pl/sql to print to the screen. (dbms output)
When i use the procedure manually it prints fine.
When i copy this output to a text editor i can see the CRLF in there.
If i call the same procedure tru the reports section of SQLDeveloper the output is stripped of any CRLF characters.
This is causing it to be useless for me: i am using it to generate code and it all appears as one big line on the screen.
Copying this to a text editor indeed shows all CRLFs gone.
Is this intentional or a bug ?

Jeff,
Thnx for the answer.
I don't have a problem writing html in my code being a former webdeveloper with experience in apex as well.
The problem is that the option presents itself as a standard plsql dbmsoutput, which suggests identical output as a dbmsoutput pane in sqldeveloper.
From your answer i gather it really is supposed to do html formatting.
Your "solution" of inserting br tags would be fine if it weren't for the fact that when i do a copy of the output in this report pane sqldeveloper strips away the br tags but doesn't replace them with crlf's.
And since the crlfs that were in the output are also stripped in this result pane i get a single line of text when i copy over a page of text from the result pane into a normal texteditor.
As such it behaves differently then say a browser when i copy a page of text from the browser and paste it in a text editor. There i see the crlfs that were present in the original source.
Is there a listing somewhere that explains what tags are supported?
Or CSS ?
Does it support stuff like white-space: pre ?
I understand the usefullness of a html-aware plsql dbmsoutput output option in the reports list of a user-defined report.
However i would like to use this opportunity to advocate to include , as an extra option or tick box etc., an option to just display the output as the normal dbmsoutput pane displays it.
That is without extra formatting.
I like the idea of being able to click in the table section above and to have bottom pane generate the appropriate code as output.
That use-case can not happen right now since it formats as html (and not even the correct way) or, when going along with this route, strips everything to a single line of text when copying the data from the result pane.

Cannot create user defined report

Guys,
For an unknown reason, I'm unable to create new reports in some subfolder inside the "User defined report". When I rigth-click on the subfolder, the contextual menu contains only "Copy" and "Paste". But If I'm going to the root folder (User defined report), I'm able to create a new subfolder and new report. I'm even able to create an new report in the subfolder.
Did you already encounter the same issue and how did you solve it ?
Thanks

I vaguely remember someone having issues with user defined report operations, the problem there was solved by changing the user language to English by adding
AddVMOption -Duser.language=ENto the sqldeveloper.conf file normally located in
SQLDEVELOPER_INSTALL_DIR/sqldeveloper/binIf you are not already running in English try changing this.

SQL Developer user defined reports (appropriate utilization)

I have used SQL developer on a limited basis but I have never created a user defined report. Can someone compare and contrast the
types of user defined reports that can be created via SQL developer versus the types of user defined reports that can be created via
a tool such as Crystal Reports or similar tool.

Hi user7753875 -
I agree with reidelme that it won't match the capabilities for fancy organisation/output of tools like Crystal Reports, but you can do interrelated parent/multiple child reports.
Check out the Reports tab on the SQL Developer Exchange for some examples of what other users have done with this.

Turns out no one has used that in a long time. You will have to do some interpretive cut/past from xml given by web site & report editor in SQL Developer. Here is the "Who" report (master+2 child reports) from the exchange in a format you can use the import function from "User Defined Reports" on.

PL/SQL in user defined reports

Is it possible to use PL/SQL in user defined reports? As far as I know, it isn't, but...
And one more question: can we do something like this in user defined reports:
' select * from :TABLE '
where
:TABLE is a bind variable?
Thanks in advance
Aliq

I want to create a parent-child report, which in simply version does three things:
parent
1. takes all the table names from user_tables
2. for each table_name (taken from user_tables) it takes a few rows from this table (selet A,B,C from table_name).
child
3. for each table name (from master) gives additional information from this table (select D,E,F from table_name)
And I wonder if it's possible.

SQL Developer 3.1 EA3 unable to import / export user defined reports

Hi gentlemen,
Name says it all. Import / Export do not appear anymore neither in dropdown menu for User Defined Reports, nor export for other reports (DD reports or shared reports).

Those are now Save As / Open...
Hope that helps,

Best practice to share user defined reports?

What is the best practice to share user defined reports among team members?
Currently I can create a folder under the Reports/User Defined Reports system folder and any reports or subfolders under that can be exported into xml by right-clicking on the folder and selecting 'Save As'. Then sending the file over or put it on a shared point or check in to SVN, then the other team members can right click on the User Defined Reports system folder and chose "Open report..." and select the xml file.
Is there any more elegant way?
Is it a good idea to share the C:\Users\lgal\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\UserReports.xml on Windows, or ~/.sqldeveloper/UserReports.xml (on Linux) among users?
Is there a standard way to bring this under standard SVN control in SD?

I think the best thing would be if someone set up a config sharing site!
It would be very easy to do on system like drupal or e107. People could register and submit their configs to different download sections based on what sort of configs they are. My site runs e107 so it's not hard to see how easy it would be
It would be easy to set up - I could do it in about 30mins but I think I have done more than enough of that! There seems no need to officialize it to any degree and burden the server even more.
I guess user-cb could host it couldn't? If you restrict people to posting only small config files with no icons and link to big stuff offsite it should be tiny bandwidth usage.
That's what I would do anyway

Columns tab in User Defined Report

I've written a few user defined reports, but so far I've just filled in the SELECT command. I'm looking at the tab labeled "Columns" and trying to understand how that affects the report formatting.
Am I right in assuming that this is equivalent to the COLUMN command in SQL*Plus? So "Name" maps to the column name in the SELECT, right? "hAlign" and "vAlign" are pretty self explanatory, and valid values for these are listed in the on-line help. But what about "Format"? What are valid values for this field? Do I use the format values from SQL*Plus, like "A30" for a 30 character wide column?
Finally, is there a way to specify that a column is not to be displayed? I have a primary key that I don't want to display, but I do need to include in the SELECT, because the report has a Child query that needs to use this as a bind variable for a foreign key.


I've found part of the answer to my own question:


Formats for the "format" field in the Columns tab are the formats used in the java.text.MessageFormat class. For example, you can use:

{0,date,yyyyMMdd hh:mm:ss}
The zero means the first argument; it will always be zero because we are only formatting one column. The second part tells what kind of formats to use, date or number. There is also a "choice" format type, which is related to number - works sort of like the DECODE function. The third part is the format itself, which can be one of several default formats like "currency", "percent" and "integer" for numbers, or "short", "medium", "long" or "full" for dates. I used an explicit format.


I still don't have an answer to the second part of my question: How do I include a column in my query to be used as a bind variable in a child query, but exclude it from the report?
