"stringing a query"

Is it possible, or how do I compile the results of a query
column into one string.
for example... If I query a table and the query results
brings back 5 rows for column a:
(results)
Column A
1
2
3
3
4
How do I get coldfusion to enter all five results into one
variable.
So my end result is I want a new variable (lets call it
"var1") to be as follows:
var1 = 1 2 3 3 4
thanks

if you want to create a comma-delimited list, use
<CFSET foo = ValueList(myQueryName.myVariables)>
To create a space-delimited list, use
<CFSET foo = ValueList(myQueryName.myVariables, "
")>

Powershell use Connection String to query Database and write to Excel

Right now I have a powershell script that uses ODBC to query SQL Server 2008 / 2012 database and write to EXCEL
$excel = New-Object -Com Excel.Application
$excel.Visible = $True
$wb = $Excel.Workbooks.Add()
$ws = $wb.Worksheets.Item(1)
$ws.name = "GUP Download Activity"
$qt = $ws.QueryTables.Add("ODBC;DSN=$DSN;UID=$username;PWD=$password", $ws.Range("A1"), $SQL_Statement)
if ($qt.Refresh()){
$ws.Activate()
$ws.Select()
$excel.Rows.Item(1).HorizontalAlignment = $xlCenter
$excel.Rows.Item(1).VerticalAlignment = $xlTop
$excel.Rows.Item("1:1").Font.Name = "Calibri"
$excel.Rows.Item("1:1").Font.Size = 11
$excel.Rows.Item("1:1").Font.Bold = $true
$filename = "D:\Script\Reports\Status_$a.xlsx"
if (test-path $filename ) { rm $filename }
$wb.SaveAs($filename, $xlOpenXMLWorkbook) #save as an XML Workbook (xslx)
$wb.Saved = $True #flag it as being saved
$wb.Close() #close the document
$Excel.Quit() #and the instance of Excel

I would like to use connection string to query the database and write results to EXCEL, i.e.
$SQL_Statement = "SELECT ..."
$conn = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
$conn.ConnectionString = "Server=10.10.10.10;Initial Catalog=mydatabase;User Id=$username;Password=$password;"
$conn.Open()
$cmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand($SQL_Statement,$conn)
do{
try{
$rdr = $cmd.ExecuteReader()
while ($rdr.read()){
$sql_output += ,@($rdr.GetValue(0), $rdr.GetValue(1))
$transactionComplete = $true
catch{
$transactionComplete = $false
}until ($transactionComplete)
$conn.Close()
How would I read the columns and data for $sql_output into an EXCEL worksheet. Where do I find these tutorials?

Hi Q.P.Waverly,
If you mean to export the data in $sql_output to excel document, please try to format the output with psobject:
$sql_output=@()
do{
try{
$rdr = $cmd.ExecuteReader()
while ($rdr.read()){
$sql_output+=New-Object PSObject -Property @{data1 = $rdr.GetValue(0);data2 =$rdr.GetValue(1)}
$transactionComplete = $true
catch{
$transactionComplete = $false
}until ($transactionComplete)
$conn.Close()
Then please try to use the cmdlet "Export-Csv" to export the data to excel like:
$sql_output | Export-Csv d:\data.csv
Or you can export to worksheet like:
$excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$excel.Visible = $true
$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add()
$sheet = $workbook.ActiveSheet
$counter = 0
$sql_output | ForEach-Object {
$counter++
$sheet.cells.Item($counter,1) = $_.data1$sheet.cells.Item($counter,2) = $_.data2}
Refer to:

How to convert LongRaw to String when querying using DB Adapter?

Hi All,
How do we use a DB Adapter to query on LONG Raw data? Is there a way to implicitly convert data to a string before returning the resultSet?
JDev: 11.1.1.4
Regards.

Hi,
LONG RAW data will be retrieved as base64binary, you can use and Embed Java to convert it back to string.
How to convert String to base64Binary in BPEL process
Or you can use doTranslateFromNative oracle extension function, you will need a NXSD template to use it.

A text with strings from query - how???

There is on-demand process, that return text to text-area element.
DECLARE
LIST_OF_APP varchar2(32000) := '';
BEGIN
BEGIN
FOR i IN (SELECT TITLE, TIMEOFCHECK FROM ACTIVEWINDOWSOFUSERS WHERE NUMBEROFPROCCESS=:STATE_SR AND MYUSER=:USERID_SR ) loop
LIST_OF_APP := LIST_OF_APP||~??????~ ||i.TITLE ||', '|| i.TIMEOFCHECK;
END LOOP;
exception when no_data_found then null;
END;
htp.prn(LIST_OF_APP);
end;
But my text return to me as ONE ROW, and I don't know - how to split it into different rows. I know ~empsep~, ~colsep~ - but have no idea about STRING SEP!
I've try `~rowsep~` - but it doesn't work.
Help me. Please,please,please...

<script type="text/javascript">
function application_in_detail(state,uid){
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,&APP_ID.,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=GetApplications',0);
get.add('STATE_SR',state);
get.add('USERID_SR',uid);
gReturn = get.get();
if(gReturn)
{//document.write(gReturn);
var resp=gReturn.split('mysep');
var resText='';
for (i=0; i < resp.length; i++)
{resText=resText+resp[i]+CHR(13)}
html_GetElement('TITLES').value=resText; }
get=null;
</script>
It falls with "error on the page"..
I believe that I am close to end - but what have I to put on th e place CHR(13)???

Create field list as a string in Query of Query

Can you please correct this query

<cfquery name="getPrivByUser" dbtype="query">
select entity_id, entity_name,#P_loopStr# leid
from getView
</cfquery>
I am getting this error:
Encountered "<. Incorrect Select Statement, Expecting a 'FROM', but encountered '<' instead, A select statement should have a 'FROM' construct.

In view of the comma at the end of loopStr, I will assume that leid is a column name. Then the likely cause of the error is ColdFusion escaping the single quotes you added. To prevent this, modify the select statement to
select entity_id, entity_name,#preserveSingleQuotes(P_loopStr)# leid

Use all_tab_columns if you're interested in all columns in all tables.

).extract ('ROWSET/ROW/*')
) t
order by "Table";You may have noticed that this site noramlly compresses whitespace.
Whenever you post formatted text (such as query results) on this site, type these 6 characters:
\(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section of formatted text, to preserve spacing.
When referencing a table in a differenct schema, you must qualify the table name with the owner (unless there happens to be a synonym). For example, if you are connected as some user other than scott, and you want to use the emp table that is in the scott schema; then you can't just say "SELECT ... FROM emp;", because that would look for the emp table in yur own schema. You have to say "SELECT ... FROM scott.emp;" instead. If the table is in your own schema, then the scema name is optional. The OWNER column in all_tab_columns gives the schema name.

If I use the data dictionary view cols (as in {message:id=3325696} which you cited), it runs correctly.
If use what I though was the equivalent data dictionary view, user_tab_columns, or if I use all_tab_columns or other data dictionary views, then I get those errors. I'm using Oracle 10.2.0.1.0.

Performance Issue - Index is not used when a zero padded string is queried

Hi All,
I have a table T1 which has many columns. One such column say C1 is a varchar2(20). T1 has 10 million rows and there is an index called I1 on C1. Stats are current for both tables and indexes. These are the scenarios:
Scenario 1
select *   from T1 where C1 = '0013206263' --Uses index I1
187 ms
Scenario 2
select *   from T1 where C1 = '8177341863' --Uses index I1
203 ms
*Scenario 3*
*select *   from T1 where C1 = '0000000945' --Uses Fulll Table Scan --Very Slow*
*45 seconds*
When I force the sql to use the index through a hint, it is working fine:
Scenario 4
select /*+ INDEX (t1 i1) */ *   from T1 where C1 = '0013206263' --Uses index I1
123 ms
Scenario 5
select /*+ INDEX (t1 i1) */ *   from T1 where C1 = '8177341863' --Uses index I1
201 ms
*Scenario 6*
*select /*+ INDEX (t1 i1) */ *   from T1 where C1 = '0000000945' --Uses index I1*
*172ms*Is there any reason for this performance issue? Why does the optimizer goes for FTS in Scenario 3?

It's possible you do have a histogram, even though you didn't plan on creating it, if you're running 10g.
In the absence of a histogram and with 7M distinct keys in 10M rows, Oracle should have predicted 2 rows for both queries, not 244,000 and 532.
If you do have a histogram, you probably need to get rid of it.

Example to use Query String in Oracle Access Manager Policy.

Hi All,
Can any one please tell me what is the use of Query String and Query String Variable in OAM Policy?
If possible please explain with a sample example.
Thanks in Advance.
Siva Pokuri.

Query string is used to protect URL with complete query string.
Ex: in case you want to protect http://hi.com/first.html?uid=abc&pqr=123 URL then you will specify query string as uid=abc&pqr=123.
In case you want to protect a URL with one of the query parameter as xyz and you do not care of other query parameters, then query string variables are used.
Ex: in case you want to protect http://hi.com/first.html?uid=abc&pqr=123 and http://hi.com/first.html?uid=abc&pqr=456 both with same policy then you will create a policy to protect first.html and in query string variables you will specify uid=abc.
Let me know if you have any problems in understanding this.
Thanks
Kiran Thakkar

Set Query String Parameter

What I am trying to do is to check whether does that variable exist in the querystring, if it does change the value to another value.
How am I suppose to do abt doing that?

Well, it's not too complex to do it with java... here is a simple example:
public class QueryStringChanger
 public static String changeParameter(String query, String key, String value)
 String[] keyValuePairs = query.split("&");
 StringBuffer newQuery = new StringBuffer();
 for (int k = 0; k < keyValuePairs.length; k++)
 if (keyValuePairs[k].indexOf(key) != -1)
 String[] thePair = keyValuePairs[k].split("=");
 keyValuePairs[k] = thePair[0] + "=" + value;
 if (k != 0) newQuery.append("&");
 newQuery.append(keyValuePairs[k]);
 return newQuery.toString();
 public static void main(String[] args)
 if (args.length != 3)
 System.out.println("Syntax: java QueryStringChanger 'the query string' theKey theValue\n"+
 "Example: java QueryStringChanger page=1&area=3&title=Not+So+Good title Pretty+Darn+Good");
 System.exit(1);
 System.out.println(changeParameter(args[0], args[1], args[2]));
 System.exit(0);
}Not so sure what you would gain from a HashTable though...

_layouts/Authenticate.aspx losing Query String Parameters in redirection

Hi,
we are losing query strings when _layouts/Authenticate.aspx redirects to a application page after user authentication.
Example shown below
http Request is shown below
/_layouts/Authenticate.aspx?Source=http://ourwebsite.com/somepage.aspx?paramapp=testapp&paramdata=testdata
redirection happens fine, but all the query string expect the first gets truncated.
In the above the example paramdata gets truncated

Hi Chandan,
please have a check if should this situation applied, i just talked with my colleague regarding this,
if you are using OOB, there are a set on AAM that may not eligible to do so, for example there is an encoding feature on it, sharepoint by design may not able to receive this because security concern.
"When the AAM redirect is configured requests for data that doesn't exist in the local farm is directed to another farm. If this request contains a query string, the query string is dropped"

Query running fine in one environment but failing in other environment

Hi,
I have a query which i am trying to execute in two different environments.
Test :- Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
Prod:- Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
Now query executes finely in one environment and fails in other environment.
It gives following error.
ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
01861. 00000 - "literal does not match format string"
The query is too long and contains CHAR-DATE and DATE-CHAR conversions.
The same query works fine on TEST environment and and fails on PROD environment.
Any help related to it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mahesh

MaheshThat's called a bug. One caused by the person who developed the code. They relied on implicit conversion between strings and dates when
production quality code will always use to_char and to_date functions with a format mask.

FS - Error code 3006 from SQL-Query

Hello world!
Can someone inform me which possible errors in a query cause the following error message after the query is activated?
Internal Error (3006) Message [131-183]
Until now I had only error code 1003, which signals syntax errors etc. in the query.
By the way: Does anywhere exists a list of error codes/messages occuring in SAP B1?
Thank you!

Spatial vs. materialized views/query rewrite

Dear all,
we are trying to use Spatial (Locator) functionality together with performance optimization using materialized views and query rewrite, and it does not seem to work. Does anybody has experience with this?
The problem in more detail:
* There is a spatial attribut (vom Typ GEOMETRY) in our table;
* we define a materialized view on that table;
* we run a query that could be better answered using the materialized view with query rewrite;
*the optimizer does not choose the plan using the materialized view, query rewrite does not take place;
This happenes, even if neither the materialized view, nor the query contains the spatial attribut.
The explanation given by the procedure DBMS_MVIEW.Explain_Rewrite is:
"QSM-01064 query has a fixed table or view Cause: Query
rewrite is not allowed if query references any fixed tables or views"
We are using Oracle 9R2, Enterprise Edition, with locator. Nevertheless, it would also be interesting, if there is any improvement in 10g?
A more complicated task, using materialized views to optimize spatial operations (e.g., sdo_relate) would also be very interesting, as spatial joins are very expensive operations.
Thanks in advance for any comments, ideas!
Cheers,
Gergely Lukacs

Hi Dan,
thanks for your rapid response!
A simple example is:
alter session set query_rewrite_integrity=trusted;
alter session set query_rewrite_enabled=true;
set serveroutput on;
/* Creating testtable */
CREATE TABLE TESTTABLE (
KEY1 NUMBER (4) NOT NULL,
KEY2 NUMBER (8) NOT NULL,
KEY3 NUMBER (14) NOT NULL,
NAME VARCHAR2 (255),
X NUMBER (9,2),
Y NUMBER (9,2),
ATTR1 VARCHAR2 (2),
ATTR2 VARCHAR2 (30),
ATTR3 VARCHAR2 (80),
ATTR4 NUMBER (7),
ATTR5 NUMBER (4),
ATTR6 NUMBER (5),
ATTR7 VARCHAR2 (40),
ATTR8 VARCHAR2 (40),
CONSTRAINT TESTTABLE_PK
PRIMARY KEY ( KEY1, KEY2, KEY3 ));
/* Creating materialized view */
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW TESTTABLE_MV
REFRESH COMPLETE
ENABLE QUERY REWRITE
AS SELECT DISTINCT ATTR7, ATTR8
FROM TESTTABLE;
/* Creating statistics, just to make sure */
execute dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname=> 'TESTSCHEMA', tabname=> 'TESTTABLE', cascade=>TRUE);
execute dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname=> 'TESTSCHEMA', tabname=> 'TESTTABLE_MV', cascade=>TRUE);
/* Explain rewrite procedure */
DECLARE
Rewrite_Array SYS.RewriteArrayType := SYS.RewriteArrayType();
querytxt VARCHAR2(1500) :=
'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (
SELECT DISTINCT
ATTR8 FROM
TESTTABLE
i NUMBER;
BEGIN
DBMS_MVIEW.Explain_Rewrite(querytxt, 'TESTTABLE_MV', Rewrite_Array);
FOR i IN 1..Rewrite_Array.count
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(Rewrite_Array(i).message);
END LOOP;
END;
The message you get is:
QSM-01009 materialized view, string, matched query text
Cause: The query was rewritten using a materialized view, because query text matched the materialized view text.
Action: No action required.
i.e. query rewrite works!
/* Adding geometry column to the testtable -- not to the materialized view, and not to the query! */
ALTER TABLE TESTTABLE
ADD GEOMETRYATTR mdsys.sdo_geometry;
/* Explain rewrite procedure */
DECLARE
Rewrite_Array SYS.RewriteArrayType := SYS.RewriteArrayType();
querytxt VARCHAR2(1500) :=
'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (
SELECT DISTINCT
ATTR8 FROM
TESTTABLE
i NUMBER;
BEGIN
DBMS_MVIEW.Explain_Rewrite(querytxt, 'TESTTABLE_MV', Rewrite_Array);
FOR i IN 1..Rewrite_Array.count
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(Rewrite_Array(i).message);
END LOOP;
END;
The messages you get are:
QSM-01064 query has a fixed table or view
Cause: Query rewrite is not allowed if query references any fixed tables or views.
Action: No action required.
QSM-01019 no suitable materialized view found to rewrite this query
Cause: There doesn't exist any materialized view that can be used to rewrite this query.
Action: Consider creating a new materialized view.
i.e. query rewrite does not work!
If this works, the next issue is to use materialized views for optimizing spatial operations, e.g., a spatial join. I can supply you with an example, if necessary (only makes sense, I think, after the first problem is solved).
Thanks in advance for any ideas, comments!
Cheers,

How to parse select lines in an html string?

I've been writing a program to deal with demographic data and the first server it calls returns an xml string. However, the backup server returns an html string instead of an xml string, so the formatting is a bit different. I was going to use a regex as I did with the xml server, but regex's don't work that well with html. i was wondering if you could offer some advice on how to effectively parse the html string? It is in this format <html>

}Currently it functions using a regex, and executes, but doesn't return any numbers, only returns zeros...If you could help me out with this, that would be amazing! Thanks so much.

hmm, is there a way to do it without an external API? Of course there is.
looks like i have to download the API and the idea behind the program is to make it so multiple people running only java can run the program, without having to download APIs, ect, to make it run. Not sure if that is what JTidy entails, but is that what you were suggesting?Personally, I don't understand the resistance to using well-tested tools already in existence as opposed to trying to rewrite a shallow facsimile of said tools. You can distribute the JTidy library along with your application and save yourself a great deal of development and debugging effort.
