To fix a column in a sortable table

Hi team,
the issue is that i need to sort a table, but a column should be "fixed", namely it does not change its order, since it represents the order, at the beginning state, of the rows.
How can i do it (programmatically / or not)?
Thanks in advance,
Ciao

Thanks for the answer.
Sorry if i did not explain correctly my problem.
I try to do it better.
I have a table that has some columns sortable, so if i click on one of them all the rows of all the columns will change their position, depending on the relationships with the sorted column(on which you have clicked on).
There is a column that i do not want to be sorted(while the other i do). i want that this column remain in its state.
for istance(3 columns)
1 b x
2 c y
3 a z
ordering alphabetically the middle column, it should become:
1 a z
2 b x
3 c y
the left column(123) is the one that i do not want to be sorted.
how can i do it since the table changes also its positions?
Thanks
Ciao

Can fix the column width in af:table

I am using af:table, i need to fix the static column width, it can be able to do it?

How to fix the column width in a table in htmlb tableview control

HI Experts,
I have an issue with my htmlb table view controller. I have created a custom iView with a htmlb table view control and placed it in quick navigation window.
When data in columns exceeds, I am getting horizontal scroll bar and column,table are getting extened. I don't want column size increases when text length increses. Instead when lenght of the text incrases in a column, I want the text displyed in multiple columns.
I have tried for this as below.
<hbj:tableView
    id="statTable"
    model="bean.stattableModel"
    design="ALTERNATING"
    headerVisible="false"
    footerVisible="false"
    fillUpEmptyRows="false"
    navigationMode="BYPAGE"
    selectionMode="NONE"
    headerText="Report List"
    visibleFirstRow="1"
    visibleRowCount="10"
width="100%">
<%
     stattableModel.getColumn("D").setWidth("5px");
     stattableModel.getColumn("D").setWrapping(false);//tried true aswell
     stattableModel.getColumn("H").setWidth("px");
     stattableModel.getColumn("H").setWrapping(false);
%>
No change happen ever after I used the above code.
Any one has the idea, how make it work.

Can we fix the column headers of a table placed in a scroll container?

Hi
I have a big table placed inside a scroll container.
The table is so big that both horizontal and vertical scroll bars appears always.
So what happens is...
     when the user moves the vertical scrollbar down, the column headers move
     up,so that they are no visible, when he reaches the bottom of the table.
What is our requirement is, even if the user moves the vertical scrollbars the headers should be visible.
Can anybody solve this problem??
Thanks
Smitha

hi Smitha,
    We cannot avoid that. but an alternate is that use another table above this table and which has the number of rows as zero. hide the table header for the below table. you need to adjust the header of above table so that it fits for the below table.
This works fine if the table doesn't have sorter facility.

How to fix the column length and table length?

Hi Experts/Gurus,
I want to fix the column lenght so that if data exceeds it should be in the same colum. But the size of the table should not get changed.. I used the width property of both table and column. But its not working..
Regards,
Yugesh

Hi Yugesh,
For column wrapping you can use the SET_WRAPPING of cl_salv_wd_header and the data.....you have got cell editor for that column right...then using the cell edtior reference you can get the specific cell tyep(like cl_salv_wd_text_view type check this)
this is object reference and you can use the set_wrapping of this class. using this you can get the wrapping functionality for the data also....
DATA: lr_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column,
           lr_column_header type ref to cl_salv_wd_header,
           lr_editor type ref to cl_salv_wd_uie,
           lr_textview type ref to cl_salv_wd_uie_text_view.
wd_this->alv_value->if_salv_wd_table_settings~set_fixed_table_layout( ABAP_TRUE ).
lr_column = wd_this->alv_value->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_column( 'EDITION' ).
lr_column->set_width( '55' ).
lr_column_header = lr_column->get_header( ).
lr_column_header->set_wrapping( abap_true).
lr_editor = lr_column->get_cell_editor( ).
lr_textview ?= lr_editor.
lr_textview->set_wrapping( abap_true ).
Now for the column and it's data the wrapping is set...

How to update column values in a table where that column is referring to different tables

i have a table Order it has columns
OrderID, Name, Total
1            trade   value populated from i.e. tradeorder table
2            fixed   value is populated from fixedorder table
3            annual value populated from another table
I m thinking of creating function for every order id to call those tables..
and there are many insertions taking place in order table ,,at the moment its 20 rows ..
kindly provide your suggestions

You can group rows in order table and update the set of row from the specific table. For instance
UPDATE [ORDER] SET [TOTAL]=B.[TOTAL] FROM [ORDER] A INNER JOIN [TRADEORDER] B ON A.ORDERID=B.ORDERID WHERE A.NAME='TRADE'
UPDATE [ORDER] SET [TOTAL]=B.[TOTAL] FROM [ORDER] A INNER JOIN [FIXEDORDER] B ON A.ORDERID=B.ORDERID WHERE A.NAME='FIXED'
UPDATE [ORDER] SET [TOTAL]=B.[TOTAL] FROM [ORDER] A INNER JOIN [ANOTHERTABLE] B ON A.ORDERID=B.ORDERID WHERE A.NAME='ANNUAL'

How can I add a new column in compress partition table.

I have a compress partition table when I add a new column in that table it give me an error "ORA-22856: CANNOT ADD COLUMNS TO OBJECT TABLES". I had cretaed a table in this clause. How can I add a new column in compress partition table.
CREATE TABLE Employee
Empno Number,
Tr_Date Date
COMPRESS PARTITION BY RANGE (Tr_Date)
PARTITION FIRST Values LESS THAN (To_Date('01-JUL-2006','DD-MON-YYYY')),
PARTITION JUNK Values LESS THAN (MAXVALUE));
Note :
When I create table with this clause it will allow me to add a column.
CREATE TABLE Employee
Empno Number,
Tr_Date Date
PARTITION BY RANGE (Tr_Date)
PARTITION FIRST Values LESS THAN (To_Date('01-JUL-2006','DD-MON-YYYY')),
PARTITION JUNK Values LESS THAN (MAXVALUE));
But for this I have to drop and recreate the table and I dont want this becaue my table is in online state i cannot take a risk. Please give me best solution.

Hi Fahed,
I guess, you are using Oracle 9i Database Release 9.2.0.2 and the Table which you need to alter is in OLTP environment where data is usually inserted using regular inserts. As a result, these tables generally do not get much benefit from using table compression. Table compression works best on read-only tables that are loaded once but read many times. Tables used in data warehousing applications, for example, are great candidates for table compression.
Reference : http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/04-mar/o24tech_data.html
Topic : When to Use Table Compression
Bug
Reference : http://dba.ipbhost.com/lofiversion/index.php/t147.html
BUG:<2421054>
Affects: RDBMS (9-A0)
NB: FIXED
Abstract: ENH: Allow ALTER TABLE to ADD/DROP columns for tables using COMPRESS feature
Details:
This is an enhancement to allow "ALTER TABLE" to ADD/DROP
columns for tables using the COMPRESS feature.
In 9i errors are reported for ADD/DROP but the text may
be misleading:
eg:
ADD column fails with "ORA-22856: cannot add columns to object tables"
DROP column fails with "ORA-12996: cannot drop system-generated virtual column"
Note that a table which was previously marked as compress which has
now been altered to NOCOMPRESS also signals such errors as the
underlying table could still contain COMPRESS format datablocks.
As of 10i ADD/SET UNUSED is allowed provided the ADD has no default value.

How to create a fixed-width column within an APEX 4 interactive report?

This thread is a follow-up to {message:id=9191195}. Thanks fac586.
Partial success: The following code provided by fac586 limits the column width of the Apex 4 interactive report column as long as the column data contains whitespace within a Firefox 3.6 browser:
<pre class="jive-pre">
<style type="text/css">
th#T_DESCRIPTION {
width: 300px;
td[headers="T_DESCRIPTION"] {
width: 300px;
word-wrap: break-word;
</style>
</pre>
Notes:
1. The code above is put into the HTML header section for the page.
2. T_DESCRIPTION is defined as VARCHAR2(2000).
3. The code above works within the Firefox 3.6.12 browser but does not work within the Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 browser.
I tried adding "float: left;":
<pre class="jive-pre">
<style type="text/css">
th#T_DESCRIPTION {
width: 300px;
td[headers="T_DESCRIPTION"] {
width: 300px;
word-wrap: break-word;
<font color="red"> float: left;</font>
</style>
</pre>
Notes:
1. "float: left;" does not require whitespace and successfully splits the column between characters in lieu of whitespace.
2. "float: left;" shrinks the cell height and allows the page background to show through... couldn't determine how to fix this.
3. The code above works within the Firefox 3.6.12 browser but does not work within the Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 browser.
I've done some more research, but I still haven't discovered how to create a fixed-width column within an APEX 4 interactive report that displays properly within an Internet Explorer 7 browser.
Any ideas and help will be appreciated.

Thanks for your help with this!
<pre class="jive-pre">
what theme are you using?
</pre>
A customized version of theme 15.
<pre class="jive-pre">
Floating a table cell makes no sense (to me anyway).
</pre>
You are correct. I was just trying a different approach ... trying to think out of the box.
<pre class="jive-pre">
Think you'll need to create an example on apex.oracle.com with sample data
if there are any further problems.
</pre>
Great suggestion! The code your provided works in the Firefox 3.6.12 browser, but still doesn't work within my Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 browser.
UPDATE:
I have recreated the problem at apex.oracle.com, you can use the following information to check it out:
URL: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=43543:100::::::
Workspace: IR_FIXED_WIDTH_COLS
Username: GUEST
Password: Thx4help
Application: 43543 - CM_RANDY_SD
Note: Table name is TEST_DATA
The following code provided by fac586 works in both Firefox 3.6 and IE7 using default theme "21. Scarlet" at apex.oracle.com; however, it doesn't work when I use a copy of our customized theme "101. Light Blue":
<pre class="jive-pre">
<style type="text/css">
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA {
th#T_DESCRIPTION {
width: 300px;
max-width: 300px;
td[headers="T_DESCRIPTION"] {
max-width: 300px;
word-wrap: break-word;
</style>

</pre>
Any idea what in the theme could be causing the fixed width column to be ignored in IE 7?

Issue with the last column stretching in ADF table

There is an issue wherein when I try stretching the last column of the ADF table to reduce its width it does stretch. But whenever I try stretching it back to this original position it doesn't despite having columnstretching attribute set to multiple and assign widths in percentages to columns . When I set the columnstretching attribute to none, the last column does stretch back and forth but on page load the table does not stretch to its full width despite having styleClass="AFStretchWidth". Now I dont want to be assigning fixed width in pixels to the columns. I would want the last column to stretch back and forth with columnstretching="multiple" and styleClass="AFStretchWidth". I see the same issue on components demo page as well. Tag Guide

If you are trying that each column gets equally stretched based on the browser, its not possible as adf doesn't supports that.
If your table is not stretching use styleClass="AFStretchWidth".
But if all your columns are not stretching you can only try setting column widths + columnStretching property (where you can specify which column to stretch to fill all the spaces)

any guys update this solution.

;WITH Datematrix(AllocationDate)

SELECT @StartDate AS AllocationDate
UNION ALL
SELECT DATEADD(D,1,AllocationDate) AS AllocationDate
FROM Datematrix WHERE AllocationDate<@EndDate
Insert into Datematrix(AllocationDate)
select * from Datematrix
Hello,
Your CTE bases only on fix value = @StartDate , not on a table/view; here do you want to insert data to? This don't work in any way.

Variable length column to fixed length column

Hi,
Iam new to oracle. Below is the query in which column1 will be displayed as a fixed length column of 16 characters.
SELECT char(column1,16), column2 from table
Please let me know if there is any command in oracle to get a single field as a fixed length.

How to fix the column header

Try to display something like this:<br><br>
HA HB <br>
A1 B1<br>
A2 B2<br>
<br>
So I use:
<div class="Show2Rows"><br>
<table><br>
<tr><br>
<th>HA</th><br>
<th>HB</th><br>
</tr><br>
<tr><br>
<td><input ... value="A1" ></td><br>
<td><input ... value="B1" ></td><br>
</tr><br>
<br>
</table><br>
</div><br>
<br>
The rule is: allow it to display ONLY two rows in the window. When more rows are added, a vertical scroll bar will be enabled. --And, yes, it works just as expected.
The problem is that when more rows are added, when I scroll the bar downward, of course the rows will move up. When this happens, the Column Headers (HA and HB) will disappear. Obviously I need to fix the Column Headers.
So question is: How can I fix the headers while still be able to scroll the data rows up and down?
Thanks

Dear Vam,
you can easily do that with css, search the source code of the executed web template for the td tag which is around your coloumn header, remember the style sheet class name it is ´displayed as class= in the td tag.
Now you can add this code the beginning of your web template:
</style>
This will only work in Web.

Adding a column to a DB table with CMP entities

Morning all.
I've been asked whether adding a column to a database table will break the CMP entity bean (EJB2) associated with the table. I suspect that it won't and that the new field will be ignored. Another developer here says that it will no longer compile (I can't see how this could be the case but still...) and I can find no evidence to either refute or corroborate either position.
Can anyone tell me for definite - if we add a column to a database table mapped to a CMP entity bean, will we HAVE to update the bean, or can we leave it ignorant of the new column?
(For the purposes of the question, please assume that the column has no constraints i.e. can be null etc.)
Thanks in advance
-- kaideejee
Message was edited by kaideejee : CMB entities? What are they? Typo fix.

Well alterations(adding / removing a column) to the
table should be made available to the bean
irrespective of the persistance(CMP OR BMP) or normal
bean with your own methods that depicts the
behaviour.
reason is simple: probably bean may/may not contain
the corresponding setter or getter or finder methods
related to the ALTERED TABLE(NEW COLUMN)The reason for what is simple? Sorry I may have missed your point there. Are you saying that it's correct practice to make it available to the bean, or that it will be made available behind the scenes, subject to getters/setters being created?
Assuming we choose not to create these getters and setters (we have a horrible hybrid monster which uses stored procedures for some things and EJB for others, so it's feasible that the EJB end may not need to see some fields used by other parts) would the entity beans continue to play nicely with the database rows, or would the additional columns throw it completely?
Cheers
