SQL format

Hi,
Are there any requirements for the SQL query? Lower case or upper case?
I am having issues creating a Layout and usually that means some is not right with the query. It comes back with "Failed to load auto layout", this is trying on the data model.
I executed this sql in PL/SQL developer and it ran fine.
also - on another note, I selected the DEBUG MODE - what happens next, where can I see this as log file or stepping thru?
Thanks.

I believe I am having a similar problem, except I did remember to remove the terminating semicolon after pasting my SQL query into BI Publisher.
I have a report which is simply a copy of a different report which works perfectly in all ways. The copy has only had its SQL edited, and I get the same error:
"Failed to load auto layout"
Also, the data won't finish loading into Excel when I hit the 'Excel Analyzer' button from the web interface from the 'View' screen. It leaves me with an empty sheet called 'remove_me_please'. I feel like removing the whole damned BI Publisher system from our servers when I see this.
What is so confounding is THE REPORT GENERATES VALID DATA! I can set the output to 'Data' and the XML produced is perfect. I can even make a pivot table in the Online Analyzer. I just can't autogenerate an RTF layout or use the Excel Analyzer. I'm using a fully updated version of .NET 2, and fully patched MS Office 2003 Pro. BI Publisher version is 10.1.3.3.2, and the Excel & Word add-ins are those downloaded from our BI Publisher server.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEMS IN THE QUERY IF THE QUERY WORKS IN MOST SITUATIONS. It works in Toad, and even in BI some ways. The SQL interpreter needs to be trashed and rebuilt from the ground up. This system stinks, Oracle! I have been very frustrated with BI Publisher for the 6 months I've been using it. That Query Builder has got to go, too! (No numeric aggregation? What is wrong with you?)
Furthermore, even after we update everyone's MS Office and .NET, the 'Oracle BI Publisher' menu doesn't even show up in half the installations we do. Everyone around here is starting to doubt that IT is really going to come through on their reporting needs. I'm thinking 6i sounds really good right now.

':' in SQL Format causes analysis auth failure

Hi,
When running a SEM-BPS planning folder it fails due to analysis authorisation errors. On doing a trace it fails as the SQL Format has PLANT = ':' and SALESORG = ':'. These values are not within the analysis auths set-up.
Talking to the SEM-BPS person here they don't know how those got into the query.
Any ideas how we can get round this?
Thanks,
Nick.

hello,
does oracle showing any errors in user_scheduler_job_run_details for this job ? I would advise try inserting some debug statement to identify where exactly its stuck. Also please check sample configurations syntax for user_scheduler_jobs.

Convert smalldatetime type SQL format to Date in OBIEE

I have a SQL database which holds date in the smalldatetime type SQL format. I want to read this date in the OBIEE. How I can achieve this. I didn't find any direct CAST for this OBIEE Answers.
thanks,
Naresh

sorry to confuse here. I would reframe my question as following
Hi,
I have a data in SQL Database which is in ‘float’ format. The data is being stored for TimeStamp such that casting it for ‘smalldatetime’ gives the exact timestamp in SQL Server.
For example I have dates (dTime) column and the converted columns when did casting for smalldatetime gives following result (in SQL Server)
dTime (Float) ########################## small_date_time (CAST dTime AS smalldatetime)
40322.271099537 ########################## May 26 2010 6:30AM
40322.275706018503 ########################## May 26 2010 6:37AM
40415.121770833299 ########################## Aug 27 2010 2:55AM
Now problem is I have this (dTime) column coming as Double in OBIEE and when I’m trying to convert this to TIMESTAMP/DATE it gives error.
To Simplify I tried following query in Answers directly.
CAST(CAST('40322.271099537' AS CHAR) AS TIMESTAMP)
and the error shown is below
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 46046] Datetime value 40322.271099537 does not match the specified format. (HY000)
Do we have a way to get the format right by using cast or any other function.

Authorization log / Hierarchy node in SQL format

Hi!
I execute rsudo on a restricted user and the authorization log tells me that this fails because the user is not authorized for "Content(in SQL format): Node 5 8 0 31 E"
Now how do I translate this sql format into something I can read? I've looked through the hierachy tables for the relevant characteristic but I can only identify 31 as the hierarchy sid and E as the version.

Vice -
We had to do basically the same thing for 0CRM_TR hierarchy, but our steps were a little different since we are on BI 7.0 - 2004S.
We also had to limit the users visibility to data from certain nodes and below on the hierarchy.
1st, we made the 0CRM_TR object auth releveant.
2nd, we created an analysis authorization for the object via transaction code RSECADMIN. In the transaction we had to specify the Hierarchy variable name that would be used in Queries. We then selected the node (GUID) where we wanted the authorizaion to take place. We set the Type Auth to 1(subtree and below) and Hierarchy Validity Area as 2(Name Identical). We set it to 2 since the Hierarchy would always be loaded in the same name.

Convert date in sql format

how to convert a date in string format to sql date format?
thanx in advance

Use java.text.SimpleDateFormat to parse the String into a java.util.Date.
Create a java.sql.Date from the java.util.Date.
Use a PreparedStatement and its setDate() method to set the date in the SQL. The JDBC driver will take care of putting that java.sql.Date object into the correct format for your DB.

I'm trying to create a query that will produce the following output:
DNAME ENAME

Java - sql format

I am using a java program to retrieve information from Oracle Database.
The valus is stored in a result string and printed to file. I want to pad the number with leading zeros.
sql command: SELECT LPAD(PAS_ID,9,'0') FROM PA_COURSES WHERE PAS_ID = '121345';
This returns the value in the format that I need: 000121345
When attempting to run this statement through java I get:
column not found error.
Does anyone know of a better way to format using java?

Are you using:
String Sql="SELECT LPAD(PAS_ID,9,'0') FROM PA_COURSES WHERE PAS_ID = '121345';".
You should omit the ; in the string.
Try to use :
String sql="SELECT LPAD(PAS_ID,9,'0') FROM PA_COURSES WHERE PAS_ID = '121345'". You should be ok

HOW do I turn off SQL Formatting for existing objects?

SQL Developer's formatting does not match mine and is driving me mad.
My version is 2.1.1.64.
I create a view, I run it in a database, I look at in in SQL Developer ...
The SQL tab shows everything every which way.
I have tried all the options.
ALL I WANT is to see the code just as I ENTERED IT ...
Instead, I get all my column names in quotes (I HATE quotes!!!!!!!)
and it aligns things, no matter how I tell it to turn off stuff.
I want to see ...
create or replace view XYZ (Col1, col1, col3 ... coln) as
select a.yadda, zeda,
(select b.yadda_desc from somewhere where b.yadda=a.yadda) as col3,
something_else, ... more things as col N
from somewhere a
where something=true;
BUT INSTEAD I SEE THIS ...
create or replace view "schema"."XYZ" ("Col1", "col1", "col3" ... "coln") as
select a.yadda, zeda,
(select b.yadda_desc
from somewhere
where b.yadda=a.yadda
) as col2, something_else,
... more things as Col N
from somewhere a
where something=true;
and it insists on wrapping the columns and subselects and function calls in some willy-nilly way.
I just want it to stop .... no quotes, no schema, wrap the text the way I entered it.
How can I get it to do that?
Please help me, please ...

Hi
I'm having the exact same problem with SQL Dev 2.1.64
Don't recall this ever happening before, looked through all possible options/preferences and no luck.
I completely agree, this default formatting really gets on your nerves specially if your source is quite large and you need to preserve the code formatting in a very structured and clear way!.Anyone found out how to prevent this? im considering rolling back to one of the not so stable previous versions.
E.g... i compile it like this
SELECT DISTINCT
F.DEVICE,
SUBSTR(F.PROD_TYPE,1,6) B_TYPE,
F.INBOUND_BNR BNR_INBOUND,
F.COUNTRY_OF_ORIGIN
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT C.LOT AS LOT,
c.inbound_bnr AS inbound_bnr,
C.PROD_TYPE AS PROD_TYPE,
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT
A.TRANS_DATE AS TRANSD,
a.lot_number AS lot,
a.quantity_1 AS waf_qty,
and after compiling i get this
SELECT DISTINCT F.DEVICE DEVICE, -- ' ' DEVICE,
SUBSTR(F.PROD_TYPE,1,6) B_TYPE,
F.INBOUND_BNR BNR_INBOUND,
FROM
(SELECT DISTINCT C.LOT AS LOT,
C.WAF_QTY AS WAF_QTY,
c.die_qty AS die_qty,
FROM
(SELECT DISTINCT A.TRANS_DATE AS TRANSD,
a.lot_number AS lot,
a.quantity_1 AS waf_qty,
FROM sf_movem_move a,
(SELECT DISTINCT pred_bnr_1 AS labbnr,
PRED_BNR_1 AS INBB,
bnr AS outbb,

Explain sql format and OpenSQL

Hi!
My problem is that if I want to use the "Enter SQL statement" functionality of st05, I have to enter my sql commands in a different format, than in my abap code.
The format in the abap code:
select * from sbook as a inner join scarr as b on acarrid = bcarrid
The format of st05:
SELECT T_00 . *
FROM "SBOOK" T_00 ,
"SCARR" T_01
WHERE ( T_01 . "MANDT" = '000' AND T_00 . "CARRID" = T_01 . "CARRID" ) AND
T_00 . "MANDT" = '000'
1, Is there a converion FM for this? How could I know the "explain format", without running st05 and executing my command?
2, Where can I find a log of SQL commands, that were actually sent to the database engine?
Actually this is not an Oracle specific problem, but I found no "general" database related forum.
thanks,
Tamas

Hello,
Abap code is "generic", it does not depend on the database that is running below ( SQL Server, Oracle, MaxDB, DB2/6 )
But each of the mentioned databases can have a slightly different way of implementing the "SQL". The kernel will perform a transformation between the "generic" abap code and the specific database ( the database interface does it )
I do not think there is an easy way of knowing exactly how the transformation will be done as it does depend on several things, like SAP parameters.
As far as I know, the only way of knowing the exact methond to see the SQL parameters sent to the DB is to enable a trace.
From SAP an SQL trace with ST05.
From the DB, it can also be enable some tracing options.
But tracing everything can be "overkill", therefore, I would only do an ST05 trace for the specific transaction/report to be studied.

The actual problem are:
1. Do not show double quote (""), ie:
in SQL Developer
CREATE INDEX "SCHEMA"."F1005_AREA_IX2" ON "SCHEMA"."F1005"in TOAD
CREATE INDEX SCHEMA.F1005_AREA_IX2 ON SCHEMA.F10052. has a break after numbers, ie:

Use the tag and let us know what is actually 'correct'.
You commented both outcomes as being correct, I assumed the latter wasn't, based on column formats. I might have assumed wrong.

Why's the SQL format different for the same report on different PCs?

I have 2 PCs running the same version of Crystal Reports (11.0.0.1994) using an identically configured system DSN with the exact same driver. When I view the SQL that CR is using on PC 1, part of it looks like this:
" FROM {oj (("PUB"."LOQEstimate" "LOQEstimate1" LEFT OUTER JOIN "PUB"."LOQComponent" "LOQComponent1" ON ("LOQEstimate1"."Estimate-ID"="LOQComponent1"."Estimate-ID") AND"
On PC 2 it looks like this:
"FROM "PUB"."LOQEstimate" "LOQEstimate1", "PUB"."LOQComponent" "LOQComponent1", "PUB"."CustContact" "CustContact1", "PUB"."LOQSegment" "LOQSegment1"
WHERE"
It's the exact same report. Can someone tell me why the SQL is different?
TIA for the help.

Thanks for the reply, Patrick. Here are the answers you requested:
1. Verify you are indeed using the same driver, and they are of the same version
The driver on both PCs is the Progress OpenEdge 10.1A driver. The file is pgoe1021.dll, version 05.10.0037.
2. Verify if you have the same database client install on both computer.
Both use prowin32.exe, v10.1.1.1326
If everything is the same, then it might be a registry key, and in this case, can you provide the following information:
1. What database are you connecting to? ( Oracle, DB2, ... )
Progress OpenEdge 10 RDMS (/community [original link is broken])
2. What is the version of the database?
10.1A
3. What is the version of the database client?
v10.1.1.1326
4. How are you connecting to your database? ( Native, ODBC, OLEDB,... )
ODBC
5. If you are connecting via ODBC, what is the name of the driver used and it's version?
The driver is the Progress OpenEdge 10.1A driver. The file is pgoe1021.dll, version 05.10.0037.
6. What is the SQL query syntax do you prefer? ( PC 1, or the one generated on PC 2 )
The SQL generated on PC1 doesn't return any records. The SQL generated on PC2 does. Records are preferable ;o)
