Tables within Tables Question

Hello!
I have been searching through the forums and can't seem to find an answer. Maybe it's just that I am not sure what I am looking for. I am trying to build a table that has a 1 large picture next to 6 small ones. I figured that I could be a table that is 3 rows by 4 columns, merge all cells in the first column, and use the top two remaining rows for the pictures. It works fine in Chrome:
But in Explorer, it looks like this:
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you!

I strongly suggest taking the time to learn about cascading style sheets and how you can use css to control <div> tags to layout your page over attempting a table based layout. There are many places online to find tutorials about css, one of my favorite references is http://www.w3schools.com they also have a walk through tutorial for css that will help you on your way, away from nested table layouts.
That being said.
You can do it with tables, but you're going about it the wrong way. Start out with a 2 colum 1 row table. In the left cell, place your large image. In the right cell, place another table with 3 colums and 2 rows. Place your small images in those cells.

Table question/problem

This is an html table question, but since I am working with
CF on this, I thought I would post here for help.
I query and cfoutput the data in a table. The table has ten
columns. The first five are alpha numeric and the last five are
numeric. The output displays fine.
What the want to do now is to put a black border around the
number columns, the last five.
I tried to make each column its own table, but that just puts
a box around each value, the columns are not connected.
How can I do this ?
Thanks for helping.

Put a thin black left border in the sixth column and a
similar right border in the tenth (last) column.
It is neater and advisable to use CSS.
<style type="text/css">

</style>
<td class="bdrLft">
The inline formatting will look like:
<td style="border-left-color:##000000;
border-left-width:thin;">
Do the same for the top border (last 5 column headers). The
bottom border may be trickier. The idea is to apply bottom border
at the last query count. One can do without the top and bottom
borders, however.

Transaction PP02 / HRP1001 table question

Hi Friends,
We're creating new objects under different categories (example., Department, Operating Unit) in transaction PP02. I have the following questions in regards with this?
1. Is the information stored in the backend in database tables HRP1000 / HRP1001 / HRP1002?
2. How can we differentiate between the objects stored in different category (example., Department, Operating Unit). FYI... all of these categories are having same plan version, object type, infotype, subtype, and planning status.
Regards,
Aman

Hi,
Why can't you simply make use of short text and long text within infotype 1000? You could use, for instance, D or OU to distinguish. For example: D - Sales, OU - Procurement etc.
Infotype 1003 serves a different purpose. Per my knowledge, it allows you to flag objects that do not take part in normal reporting. It influences how objects appear in a structure (side-by-side vs hierarchy). Please check the following SAP help on it:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/bb/bdb282575911d189240000e8323d3a/frameset.htm
Infotype 1002 is helpful but it will just add to user maintenance. Also, the descriptions are not stored in HRP1002. You have to pick the reference number (TABNR) for an entry and then read HRT1002 to get the description from field TLINE.
HRP1000 on the other hand stores short text and long text, so it is easier to read and report on. Short text and long text also appear when you view the structure through PPOSE and also available on user record on IT0001.
Hope this helps.

Summary Tables Questions...

Hi to everybody,
I use Oracle Discoverer 10.1.2 and created some summary tables - using both methods : being specified by me and Discover automatically defined them....
I have two questions:
1) Is there any way to define the summary table(materialized view in the 'language' of Oracle Database ) in the application db user and not in the Discoverer Repository db owner.....????
NOTE: I have created the Discoverer Repository in a user , let's say EUL, whereas all referenced tables in the summary tables are owned in another user , say HIS...
Simply , I ask if a summary table can be created in the HIS dataschema and not in EUL.....
2)Is there any way to give the summary table a more meaningful name in the process of creating it..... I mean a name different from this one: EUL5_MV102497
Thanks , a lot
Simon

Hi Simon
As mentioned by Sabine, if you create the materialized views in the database you have full control. To answer your question I always build my summary tables in the schema of the user who owns the EUL.
However, I would have thought that you can do what you ask, but I'm not so sure. In theory, all you need to do in order to make this work is to make sure the EUL owner and the owner of the schema into where you want to insert the summary table has the following privileges:
These are the grants the EUL needs:
ALTER ANY MATERIALIZED VIEW
CREATE ANY MATERIALIZED VIEW
DROP ANY MATERIALIZED VIEW
ANALYZE ANY
These are the privileges needed by the user in whose schema you intend to create the materialized view:
CONNECT
RESOURCE
GLOBAL QUERY REWRITE
With these privileges granted you should be able to create summary tables inside Discoverer and have full control over the schema in which the materialized view is created and the name of the materialized view. I say should be able to because it doesn't seem to work. Please read on.
To control the MV schema and name, I should be able to use this workflow:
1. When you are in the manual summary folder process, you will come to a screen that allows you to maintain Combinations.
2. From the Combinations screen, highlight a combination and click the Properties button.
3. The Database Storage Properties dialog box will open.
4. In the Database Storage Properties dialog box, use the drop-down alongside the Table Owner and switch this to be a user who has the privileges mentioned earlier.
Note: the drop-down is not visible until you click in the Table Owner box
5. Click in Table Name (this is the name of the materialized view) and change it to a name that complies with your naming standards.
6.Change any other properties you wish, then click OK.
7. Click Finish to complete the summary folder.
At this point, even though I had granted the Global Query Rewrite to the other user, Discoverer Admin stopped and reported that the user needed this privilege. I was therefore unable to complete the summary folder process. Interestingly enough, the materialized view was actually created but I, as the owner of the EUL, was unable to use it. This is because in order for the EUL owner to be able to use an existing MV / Table that is owned by someone else, the other user needs to have run a grant like this:
GRANT SELECT ON MY_MV TO EUL_OWNER WITH GRANT OPTION
But how can this be done because the table is being created by me? The problem therefore is that only the owner of the MV can grant this but when you are inside Discoverer Admin you are not logged in as that user. I therefore am suspicious that, despite Discoverer having a screen to do so, it is not possible to create a summary table in someone else's account.
Has anyone been able to make this work?
In summary though, if the intention is to produce a materialized view that everyone can use then the above doesn't appear to work. However, it looks like you are able to create a materialized view within a user's schema that is only available to that user. This opens up the interesting possibility that you could create different materialized views for different users, thus giving users individual copies and potentially different copies of the data.
It would be interesting if someone were to test this out and report back. My only concern would be that once created, because it is the EUL owner who has the ALTER and DROP privileges, how would the schema owner update it? As I say, this is an interesting conumdrum.
Personally, as stated at the beginning, I always create my summary folders (aka materialized views) in the EUL owner's schema.
I hope this helps
Best wishes

Report Custom Vertical Table Question

Hello Guys,
I am trying to display some data in a custom vertical table (for a report). The data that I have looks like this :
Customer number          Name               Product          Age
123               John Customer          Checking     50
456               Jane Customer          Savings          40
When I display it using a vertical table (or attribute value pairs) the data looks like:
Customer number: 123
Name : John Customer
Product: Bank Account
Age: 50
Customer number: 456
Name : Jane Customer
Product: Bank Account
Acct No: 40
But I want to display the data like this:
Customer number: 123 456
Name : John Customer Jane Customer
Product: Bank Account Bank Account
Age: 50 50
The option here is to change the data to dynamic columns rather than dynamic rows. I tried manipulating the templates but it would not do it. Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi Badri,
OK - this is what I did (there's no documentation as such, so I'll just give you the step-by-step guide here!):
1 - In your application, go to Shared Components then Templates
2 - Click the Create button
3 - Click the "Report" option
4 - Select "From Scratch" and click Next
5 - Enter a name for the new template (for example, "Vertical Report"), leave the Theme as your current theme, set Template Class to "Custom 1", tick the "Named Column (row template)" option and click Create
This creates a new blank report template - scroll down the list of templates to this new one and click on the name to edit it.
In there, you need to enter the following:
Row Template 1 setting:
<td>
<table cellpadding="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" class="t18Standard" style="border-collapse:collapse">
<tr><td class="t18Data">#1#</td></tr>
<tr><td class="t18Data">#2#</td></tr>
<tr><td class="t18Data">#3#</td></tr>
<tr><td class="t18Data">#4#</td></tr>
</table>
</td>NOTE: In my example report, I show four columns (EMPNO, ENAME, SAL, COMM) - these are refered to as #1#, #2#, #3# and #4# above (#1# means column number 1, #2# is column 2 and so on - but use the column numbers not the names in your template). If you have a different number of columns add in or remove lines of: <tr><td class="t18Data">#nn#</td></tr> (replacing nn with the column number)
Leave all other settings in the Row Templates section blank
Before Rows setting:
<table cellpadding="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" style="border-collapse:collapse;">
<tr>
<td>
<table class="t18Standard" cellpadding="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" style="border-collapse:collapse;">
<tr><th class="t18ReportHeader">EMPNO</th></tr>
<tr><th class="t18ReportHeader">ENAME</th></tr>
<tr><th class="t18ReportHeader">SAL</th></tr>
<tr><th class="t18ReportHeader">COMM</th></tr>
</table>
</td>NOTE: You will need one TR tag for each of the column headings - I have four here (EMPNO, ENAME, SAL and COMM) - add or remove lines of <tr><th class="t18ReportHeader">COLUMNNAME</th></tr>
After Rows setting:
</tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
#PAGINATION#
</td>
</tr>
</table>Leave all settings in the Pagination section blank
NOTE: Any "class" name used above assumes that you are using Theme 18 (t18Standard is the standard report style class, for example) - you will have to update these to match your own theme
Click Apply Changes to save this
Now go back to your page and click on the "Report" link for your report region - this takes you to Report Attributes. Scroll down to the "Report Template" setting and change this to your new template. Click Apply Changes to save that.
When the page is rendered, a new table will be created for the report, the headings will be created within another table in the first TD on that table. All data lines are created as separate tables within new TD tags - this makes the output go across the page instead of down.

SQL and External table question

Hello averyone,
I have a file to be read as an external table part of it is below:
ISO-10303-21;
HEADER;
FILE_DESCRIPTION((''),'2;1');
FILE_NAME('BRACKET','2005-07-08T',('broilo'),(''),
'PRO/ENGINEER BY PARAMETRIC TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, 2004400',
'PRO/ENGINEER BY PARAMETRIC TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, 2004400','');
FILE_SCHEMA(('CONFIG_CONTROL_DESIGN'));
ENDSEC;
DATA;
#5=CARTESIAN_POINT('',(5.5E0,5.5E0,-5.1E1));
#6=DIRECTION('',(0.E0,0.E0,1.E0));
#7=DIRECTION('',(-1.E0,0.E0,0.E0));
#8=AXIS2_PLACEMENT_3D('',#5,#6,#7);
The first question is: how to ignore the lines until the DATA; line or SQL already does it for me?
The second question is: since the fields of interest are separated by commas and the first field does not interest me (it is solved with a varchar2) how can I read the following fields as numbers ignoring the (,# and ) characters please?
Thanks for any help.
Sincerely yours,
André Luiz

The SKIP option can be used with SQL*Loader to skip a certain number of lines before starting to load. Off hand I cannot see any easy way to load the data in the format given. The format does not resemble a typical CVS format. You can look at the test cases provided for SQ*Loader in the Oracle® Database Utilities guide - or simply write PL/SQL code to load this data manually using UTL_FILE.

Parent child table question

HI i have some questions which iam unclear please help me
1) in a parent child relationship.. is it always 1-m relation from parent to child?
2) can a parent table be on many side? i.e can a child - parent be 1- m?
3) if i itake employee as child table and department as parent table then dept_id will be the foreigh key in employee table ...
Now if i want to add a new employee who is not assigned to any department can i add it ?
4) In an identifying relationship ... a child table has concatenated primary key (pk of child,pk of parent)
should we still add any other primary key to the table....in addition to this concatenated key?
thanks in advance
raj

Hi!
1) in a parent child relationship.. is it always 1-m relation from parent to child?
yes unless you create a unique index on the foreign key column
2) can a parent table be on many side? i.e can a child - parent be 1- m?
no, if you need an n-m you will need an intersection table
e.g. employees - emp_dept - departments
in this case the emp_dept table would contain the foreign keys of employees and departments
3) if i itake employee as child table and department as parent table then dept_id will be the foreigh key in employee table ...
Now if i want to add a new employee who is not assigned to any department can i add it ?
no, you will have to insert the master first
Best regards,

Nested tables questions

I ve been using nested tables ( with the 'index by' clause ).
I understand that the created array is stored in the RAM memory ( and not in the database files ).
1. Does this mean that my program might not run one day when the machine is running low on RAM ?
2. If yes, will there be an exception or something ?
3. I understand that the memory is freed when the 'session ends'. When does my session end ? ( Is it when my PROCEDURE/function ends or is it when I quit sqlplus )
4. Are nested tables/collections thread safe ?
If I declare a nested table within the procedure, and if the procedure is called simultaneously by two clients, will there be a problem ?
Thanks

1. Yes
2. Yes, possibly "PLS-00996: out of memory" although there may be others
3. PL/SQL does garbage collection at various times, including when your session ends (i.e. when you disconnect from Oracle) and when a variable goes out of scope (e.g. when a procedure ends). I don't think the full list of rules is documented.
4. Yes, although I'm not sure what happens in connection pooling.

Temp table Question

In Oracle... can we use temp tables in procedures??? what would be the performance issue if I use a temp table in procedure?? After the procedure is run.. how can I assure that the temp table is deleted???

Hi,
You have miss interpreted Justin. He clearly replied all your questions which you have highlight in you 2nd post. You can use global temporary table in procedures but nto in manner in which you are using.
First of all your creation of temporary table inside a procedure is wrong. Create this table at SQL> prompt, as you create normal tables.
I don't see any requirment in which you have to create a table inside a procedure. The thing you are trying is not logical. Secondlly, you are firing a DDL statement inside a procedure so, you have to EXECUTE_IMMEDIATE.
Now, we come back to temporary table. You create temporary table on the SQL> prompt and use this table in your procedure as normal table. Perform any insert, update or delete on this table. Different user who perform DML on this table will have their own copy of data, means every user working on temporary table has it own copy of data.
Regarding the delete of data. You dont' have to worry bout this as oracle itself truncate data from temporary table when user finised with his session.
Any other doubt on temporary tables welcomed........

Filter Table question

Question regarding 'local menu | Filter Table' option.
I have a long sheet (1000+ entries) that has customer names in a column. There is over 200 distinct customers in this column. However, when I choose the above option, it only shows 25 names.
Is this a known limit? If so, is it possible to change the names that show on the list, so the most frequent / common names are shown?
Just looking for a quick on-the-fly quick filtering which I do dozens of times per day.
P.S Trying to switch from Excel for Mac which does have this capability.
Thanks
Nick

I am just wondering if there is a hard limit of 25 entries that are shown, no matter how many different names there are.
It appears that the maximum number is 25 entries in the dropdown filter list. However, you can filter on any value you want via Edit Table Filters in the dropdown or by clicking the Filter icon upper right.

Basic table question - include empty rows

Hi msdn,
I create SSRS reports for MS CRM 2011 in Visual Studio Shell 2010 (SQL Server 2012).
For
my Dataset, i use fetch xml from the crm.
I'm currently creating a report which should list all the lost opportunities from one year grouped by the reason(statuscode)
of their loss.
The table below is working but it doesn't include "empty statuscodes"(Reasons with no opportunities attached to
it)
(Stückzahl 2013 = number of opportunities) (Angebotssumme 2013= Sum of all opportunities in CUR)
I have a list in my crm with all the possible reasons, a number of 25 Statuscodes.
I want them all to appear in the table and when there is no lost opportunity linked to it, just display a 0.
Below is my dataset query and as you see, i select the opportunity first and statuscode is a field in it
<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="true">
<entity name="opportunity">
<attribute name="name" />
<attribute name="customerid" />
<attribute name="estimatedvalue" />
<attribute name="statuscode" />
<attribute name="opportunityid" />
<order attribute="name" descending="false" />
<filter type="and">
<condition attribute="statecode" operator="eq" value="2" />
<condition attribute="statuscode" operator="not-null" />
<condition attribute="estimatedvalue" operator="not-null" />
<condition attribute="actualclosedate" operator="not-null" />
</filter>
<link-entity name="new_automatisierung" from="new_verkaufschance" to="opportunityid" alias="ae"></link-entity>
</entity>
</fetch>
So my question is which possibilities i have to achive my goal?
Is it even possbile with this dataset?
I hope i made it clear enouth for you guys to understand. As you can see, im fairly new to SSRS.
Thank you in advance

Hi there,
You may need two queries to do this, #1 to retrieve status codes & opportunities and #2 above query to get details. Bind the table to #1 query. Then use lookup or lookupset function to retrieve results from #2.

You might have more luck in Dynamics forum.

Detail Reveal/Nested Table Questions

Hey Folks,
I have a table that was generated with Jheadstart. Within this table is a nested table with a master-detail relationship to the outer table. It was generated using the 'Detail Reveal' function of Jheadstart, so it renders a 'show' hyperlink to show the associated details with the master record. The problem I am having is when the user navigates back to this page, the detail reveal is not working properly. Say the user shows the a set of details, click continue, decided they selected they wrong set, hits cancel. The cancel does a rollback then navigates back to the nested table page. What happens is this: the FIRST set of details is always shown, except under the master record that was originally selected! If the user shows then hides the details, the problem goes away. So for example, if the user had originally shown the details of the third master record, hit continue, then hit cancel, the details from the first master record would be incorrectly shown under the third master record.
What is causing this? How can I fix this? Ideally I would like to have it HIDE all detail when the user cancels back to the page.
I did some snooping around in the JHSDataAction class, and it looks like a request param named 'value' determines which detail is shown, but I have been unsuccessful in trying to manipulate this parameter to get it to do what I want.
Also, how could I manipulate it to show all the details if the master table only had one record? I already have a dataAction that determines if the master query returned a single hit or not, I just don't know what I can do with the request object to force it to show the detail lines in the case that it does....
Help?
Thanks,

Extenal Table question..

Hi everyone,
I am new to working on "EXTERNAL TABLES".Is it possible to add another column(which is not
in the flat file) with a "defalut value" ?
I am just trying to create a simple "EXTERNAL TABLE"..
question 1
==========
EX:
===
Flat file that i get will be like this (sample)
ENG,England,English
SCO,Scotland,English
IRE,Ireland,English
WAL,Wales,Welsh
If i create a external table like the following everyting would be fine..
CREATE TABLE countries_ext (
country_code      VARCHAR2(5),
country_name      VARCHAR2(50),
country_language VARCHAR2(50)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL (
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY ext_tables
ACCESS PARAMETERS (
    RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
    MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
      country_code      CHAR(5),
      country_name      CHAR(50),
      country_language CHAR(50)
LOCATION ('Countries1.txt','Countries2.txt')
PARALLEL 5
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
but i need another column with a "default value" "N" which is not in flat file
CREATE TABLE countries_ext (
country_code      VARCHAR2(5),
country_name      VARCHAR2(50),
country_language VARCHAR2(50)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL (
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY ext_tables
ACCESS PARAMETERS (
    RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
    MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
      country_code      CHAR(5),
      country_name      CHAR(50),
      country_language CHAR(50)
    -- Valid_flag default value "N" Is it possible to add this
                                     column while creating the external table?
                                     this column is not there in the flat file.
LOCATION ('Countries1.txt','Countries2.txt')
PARALLEL 5
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
quetion2
========
LOCATION ('Countries1.txt','Countries2.txt')
I have multiple files (around 150) which are in the same format.
Do i have to mention all the file names in the location clause? if i have to create a table
on those 150 file?
Ex LOCATION ('Countries1.txt','Countries2.txt','Countries3.txt','Countries4.txt','Countries5.txt','Countries6.txt','Countries7.txt','Countries8.txt', and so on....)
or
Is it possible to put (countries*.txt)?sorry if this topic have discussed somewhere in the forum.
Thanks

Hi Hoek,
thanks for the reply...
You could also just select an extra 'N' when selecting from your external table:You are correct hoek..we can do like that too..but i would like to know is it possible to
have that column in the table itself ?
ex: when creating the external table..something like the following
valid_flg default value 'N' Is it possible to put (countries*.txt)?
Just give it a try?
I tried it before posting this forum..it is not taking the file names like that...and it is throwing error..
is there any other option to specify multiple files?thanks
phani
