Trying to do a Dynamic Column in a Cursor

So, for lack of a better way to explain it, I need to do the following.
I need a EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to be able to use a CURSOR but its saying its not declared. Is their a way to pass the cursor so a Execute Immediate can use it...
V_SQL := 'REPLACE(V_DATA,'TEST',CUR_DATA.'||V_FIELD||');';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE (V_SQL);
I know thats just a small part... but it shows the end goal. I need to append a VARCHAR that has the COLUMN NAME I need from the CURSOR. CUR_DATA is the open cursor. V_DATA is just a VARCHAR with text in it.
Any thought would be great.
Thanks

REPLACE(V_DATA,'<?'||V_FIELD||'?>',R_DATA.V_FIELD);

You will need to use DBMS_SQL dynamic sql to make that work.
See this thread for a question that is related to yours. In particular see BluShadow's reply
Re: Assegnazione colonne tabella in array

Ah, now it's in English... the data is coming from a cursor. In that case using something like DBMS_SQL to execute the query and reference the columns by position would be the best approach, if indeed there is really a need to load the data into an array in memory in the first place.

Dynamic Columns in Ref Cursor

Hi All,
I have a requirement that i need to execute query having dynamic number of columns using Ref Cursor e.g.
v_string := 'PO_NUMBER , ORG_ID' ;
v_query := 'SELECT '|| v_string || 'FROM table_name';
Can someone please quide me how to define Type dynamically for the above requirement ?
Thanks
Vipul Maheshwari

hope you understand how to use this with the help of ref cursor
CURSOR Expressions
A CURSORexpression returns a nested cursor. This form of expression is equivalent to
the PL/SQL REF CURSORand can be passed as a REF CURSORargument to a function.
A nested cursor is implicitly opened when the cursor expression is evaluated. For
example, if the cursor expression appears in a select list, a nested cursor will be
opened for each row fetched by the query. The nested cursor is closed only when:
■ The nested cursor is explicitly closed by the user
■ The parent cursor is reexecuted
■ The parent cursor is closed
■ The parent cursor is cancelled
■ An error arises during fetch on one of its parent cursors (it is closed as part of the
clean-up)
Restrictions on CURSOR Expressions The following restrictions apply to CURSOR
expressions:
■ If the enclosing statement is not a SELECTstatement, then nested cursors can
appear only as REF CURSORarguments of a procedure.
■ If the enclosing statement is a SELECTstatement, then nested cursors can also
appear in the outermost select list of the query specification or in the outermost
select list of another nested cursor.
■ Nested cursors cannot appear in views.
■ You cannot perform BINDand EXECUTEoperations on nested cursors.
Examples The following example shows the use of a CURSORexpression in the
select list of a query:
SELECT department_name, CURSOR(SELECT salary, commission_pct
FROM employees e
WHERE e.department_id = d.department_id)
FROM departments d
ORDER BY department_name;
The next example shows the use of a CURSORexpression as a function argument. The
example begins by creating a function in the sample OEschema that can accept the
REF CURSORargument. (The PL/SQL function body is shown in italics.)
CREATE FUNCTION f(cur SYS_REFCURSOR, mgr_hiredate DATE)
RETURN NUMBER IS
emp_hiredate DATE;
before number :=0;
after number:=0;
begin
loop
fetch cur into emp_hiredate;
exit when cur%NOTFOUND;
if emp_hiredate > mgr_hiredate then
after:=after+1;
else
before:=before+1;
end if;
end loop;
close cur;
if before > after then
return 1;
else
return 0;
end if;
end;
The function accepts a cursor and a date. The function expects the cursor to be a query
returning a set of dates. The following query uses the function to find those managers
in the sample employeestable, most of whose employees were hired before the
manager.
SELECT e1.last_name FROM employees e1
WHERE f(
CURSOR(SELECT e2.hire_date FROM employees e2
WHERE e1.employee_id = e2.manager_id),
e1.hire_date) = 1
ORDER BY last_name;

Sorry Frank i could not figure out what u rtrying to say.
In my case i have ADF table with two predefined coulmns :
1 : a serial number read only column
2 : a separator coumn
I need help to bind the newly created dynamic attribute in the VO with my newly created column in the ADF table which has a input text as child.
My problem is binding the is not working properly as values entered in the Table are not reflected in the VO.
And when i insert a new column in between two columns which has already filled values the data in the rows does not shift coreespondingly..

DataGrid with dynamic columns & renderers

I'm developing using Flash Builder 4 & Flex SDK 4.1.
I need to manage very dynamic DataGrid components and keep their definitions, which are all part of a complex item renderer of an Offers list.
The objects structure is simplified as follows -
Data: Model --> Offers ArrayCollection --> Offer VO --> DataGrid data ArrayCollection & DataGrid columns Array
View: List --> Offer Item Renderer --> DataGrid
1. Since the DataGrid's columns property accepts only an Array (not ArrayCollection), it seems like Data Binding for defining the columns is very problematic.
I tried to bind it to the source property of an ArrayCollection that would keep my columns definitions, but it didn't really work (mainly header display bugs).
What is the recommended way to keep the dynamic columns definition of a DataGrid?
2. Each column can have a set of dynamic properties, so I created a "mutant" - Column VO that extends DataGridColumn and got a dynamic properties ArrayCollection on it.
The columns got a custom header renderer that includes an icon when there are properties.
The header renderers got 4 main states (NotSelectedWithProperties, SelectedWithProperties, NotSelectedWithoutProperties & SelectedWithoutProperties).
However, the header renderer area seems a bit buggy when maintaning dynamic columns.
Any thoughts on the subject?
3. Anyway, I ended up recreating the DataGrid's columns Array very often (copying the columns definition on the offer's item renderer's dataChange event handler).
Note that the dynamic properties can be edited when the column is selected and I copy their values from the view back to the model when entering the state NotSelectedWithProperties.
This feels way too complicated and I really try to keep it simple, inspite of the required complexity.
Does anyone have better ideas?
4. In some cases the column's item renderer should also be modified into another DataGrid (grid-in-grid).
I used the MXDataGridItemRenderer with a DataGrid and included an ArrayCollection for the "newValue" returned by the editor.
(I use RendererIsEditor=true and on updateComplete populate that variable with the DataGrid's dataProvider contents)
When needed, I loop though the data objects of the parent DataGrid and populate the related field with an ArrayCollection of key-value objects that are displayed on the internal DataGrid.
After adding this feature I encounter very strange bugs -
a. After editing the grid-in-grid values and changing the column's state (selecting & deselecting), I get the following exception:
ArgumentError. Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/setChildIndex()
at mx.core::UIComponent/setChildIndex().......6993....
All I could find about this is that it might be related to some context error or something, but I'm really stuck on this one.
b. Sometimes another column might copy value from one row to another, running over the previous value.
I'm not sure exactly what sequence of actions causes this behavior, but it's related to that itemRenderer for sure.
c. Switching places with a column that uses the grid item renderer (headerShift) causes a stak overflow of StyleManager that tried to get style from the DataGridItemRenderer. This one I just found out, but couldn't reproduce a second time... strange!
I'm pretty sure this caused another problem that I don't remember at the moment.
The bottom line is that there got to be a better way to implement this feature within this already-complicated environment.
Maybe I'm doing something very wrong here...
Please advice and thanks for reading all this.

Update on item 4a -
This was a major issue (the main reason for opening this thread really) and I managed to resolve it!
As part of my application, I override the default DataGrid behavior for column selection (headerRelease event).
Instead of sorting, I change the column's header looks and define it as Selected (for showing its dynamic properties and enable its deletion).
At first I did this by setting styles, but the look didn't refresh unless I created a new instance of the header renderer.
Later I changed thi behavior to work with states, but I left the new header renderer instance creation commands and those lines created all the mess!
Conclusion -
If you define a custom header renderer for your datagrid column and then a custom item renderer, don't create a new instance of your header renderer!
It would still be nice to get some response for the other issues I raised.
Thanks and have a nice week.

Dynamic Columns in BI Report

Hi,
In my report i have dynamic columns and i am achieving this using <?split-column-header:header?> , <?split-column-data:variable?>
I need to define width for the dynamically created columns.
How do i achieve this.
i have seen <?split-column-width:name?>,<?split-column-width:@width?>
I tried <?split-column-header:header?><?split-column-width:@200pt?><?heading?><?end split-column-data?> but didn't succeed.
Please advice.

Dynamic columns in OBIEE

Dynamic column names in Oracle

HI SOS!! calling for help...
i am trying to query the following. I want to remove the duplicates in the ID, and combine them into one... While doing so, I want to keep the data as it is by creating dynamic columns reason_1, reason_2, reason_3 with their corresponding TIME. In case of same reasons, I want to add the TIME. The database is as follows:
ID     REASON     TIME
A     41A..........     27
A     93K..........16
B     89C...........3
B     93K...........7
B     48C..........     4
C     93K..........     24
C     93K..........     7
C     48C.........10
Expected Result is
ID     REASON_1......TIME_1.... REASON_2...TIME_2....REASON_3.........TIME_3
A........ 41A............ 27........... 93K............16
B........ 89C............ 3............ 93K............7...........48C.................. 4
C........ 93K........... 31.......... 48C..............10
Would be grateful if someone could try helping me out of this as early as possible.

You still haven't made it clear what the requirement is.
Is there a maximum number of reasons that can occur per ID? If so, you can code the pivoting of your data with something like:
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 with t as (select 'A' as ID, '41A' as reason, 27 as time from dual union all
2             select 'A', '93K', 16 from dual union all
3             select 'B', '89C', 3 from dual union all
4             select 'B', '93K', 7 from dual union all
5             select 'B', '48C', 4 from dual union all
6             select 'C', '93K', 24 from dual union all
7             select 'C', '93K', 7 from dual union all
8             select 'C', '48C', 10 from dual)
9 --
10 -- END OF TEST DATA TABLE SIMULATED USING 'WITH' CLAUSE
11 -- SIMPLY USE THE SELECT STATEMENT BELOW ON YOUR OWN TABLE
12 --

15        ,max(decode(rn,1,time)) as time_1
16        ,max(decode(rn,2,reason)) as reason_2
17        ,max(decode(rn,2,time)) as time_2
18        ,max(decode(rn,3,reason)) as reason_3
19        ,max(decode(rn,3,time)) as time_3
20        ,max(decode(rn,4,reason)) as reason_4
21        ,max(decode(rn,4,time)) as time_4
22        ,max(decode(rn,5,reason)) as reason_5
23        ,max(decode(rn,5,time)) as time_5
24 from (/* assign some row numbers within each ID, ordering by 'reason' then 'time' */
25        select id, reason, time
26              ,row_number() over (partition by id order by reason, time) as rn
27        from   t
28       )

C 48C         10 93K          7 93K         24In this example, it will cater for up to 5 reasons/times per ID... and you can code for more if you need very easily.
Also, as you're using 11g, you can use the new PIVOT query, for which you can find plenty of examples if you google or search these forums, or follow the FAQ link.
If you don't have any idea how many reasons there could be, then you really are looking at generating columns dynamically.
The problem with that is, because Oracle needs to know the SQL projection (see the FAQ link already provided), it has to know how many columns are going to be returned from a query before any data is fetched... but you are saying that the columns returned have to be based on the data itself. To do that you have two main options:
1) You query the data once to determine how many columns you are going to need and then dynamically build up a query in PL/SQL code with the right number of columns (or use one of the other dynamic methods shown in the FAQ)
or
2) You step back and ask yourself if SQL is really the best place to be trying to produce this output. Reporting tools are often better suited to this requirement as they are made to query the data back from a database and then pivot and layout the data based on the data returned.

Multiple dynamic column in cross table

Hi all,
I have a cross table which stored the sale's quantity and amount.
The layout in view result likes below:
saler     quantity1 quantity2 quantity3 quantitysummary amount1 amount2 amount3 amount4 amountsummary
S3           100           20
S2           50             30
S1           300           40
The layout in view structure likes below:
saler     quantity quantitysummary amount amountsummary
S3           100           20
S2           50             30
S1           300           40
the quantity1...n and amount1...n columns is not fixed.the 2 columns is dynamic.
It's easy that only one column is dynamic,but now there are two columns is dynamic,I don't know how to achieve it.
Has anyone an idea how to accomplish this?
Thank you trying to help me!

You cant do this on BO , you can add static columns but if you put some dynamic column in the left or right i turns dynamic...

Cannot use alias for dynamic column name in SELECT statement

Hi,
I want to retrieve values from several tables by using dynamic column & table name as below:
DATA: tbl_name(30) TYPE c VALUE '/bic/tbi_srcsys', " staticly initialized for this example
col_name(30) TYPE c VALUE '/bic/bi_srcsys'. " staticly initialized for this example
SELECT (col_name) INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_values FROM (tbl_name).
The internal table "it_values" does not contain a field named "/bic/bi_srcsys", instead it has another generic field "value" so that the above code can be applied to other tables. I tried to use alias (AS) as below:
SELECT (col_name) AS value INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_values FROM (tbl_name).
But this cannot work. I know that there are other ways to solve this problem, such as by using a single field in SELECT .. ENDSELECT and subsequently appending it to the work area and internal table as below:
SELECT (col_name) INTO (lv_value) FROM (tbl_name).
wa_value-value = lv_value.
APPEND wa_value TO it_values.
ENDSELECT.
Just wonder if there is any other more elegant workaround, because I might have several other fields instead of only one?
Thanks.

Hi Suhas,
thanks for the quick reply.
Sorry that I have not well described the structure of the internal table "it_values". This internal table contains several other fields (key, type, value, etc.).
I guess that the following code
SELECT (col_name) INTO TABLE it_values FROM (tbl_name).
works if the internal table only has one field (value) or the field "value" is in the first position, right?
In this case, I need to fill the "value" field of internal table it_values (ignore the other fields like type, key) with values retrieved from (col_name) of the DDIC table.
Looking forward to your reply.
BR,
Joon Meng

Pivot Table with Dynamic Columns and Headers

Hello,
I'm trying to pivot a table of data where the column headers will be dynamic. While I know how to pivot the table to get what I want how will I be able to pick up the table column header from the Pivot to display in the report?
For example:
Unpivoted data is Employee Code, Branch Code, Problem Code, # of Problems.
There is many records for a given Employee and Branch that I want to pivot so the Column headers are the Problem Codes and the data below is the SUM(num_problems) for that Problem.
So the data may look like this for Tech Bob, Branch NY.
Problem = LEAK, Num_problem = 5
Problem = DAMAGE, Num_problem = 2
Problem = OTHER, Num_problem = 3
Which problem codes may appear is unknown but selecting the DISTINCT(problem) across all techs gives me the column headings to use.
So if I pivot this data, I get this Row:
Tech = Bob, Branch = NY, DAMAGE = 2, LEAK = 5, OTHER = 3
So first can SSRS handle having dynamic columns? Only Tech and Branch are known and the remaining columns are dynamic based on how many Problems they worked on.
Second, how can I set the column heading in my Tablix to be the Problem Code?
Sherry

You just need to use a matrix container
Use EmployeeCode and BranchCode for row group
ProblemCode as column group and SUM([No Of Problems]) as the data expression and it will generate the columns for you based on ProblemCode values automatically.

Creating Query with dynamic columns to show results

Hi experts,
I need to know how to create a query with dynamic columns. Meaning, I don't want to create a query with fixed columns representing the 12 periods of the fiscal year to show me actuals as the fiscal year proceeds.
For example, if I am currently in the middle of period 3 (March) of a fiscal year, when I execute the query, I need it to automatically only show me the 'Actuals' for periods 1 and 2, without seeing the columns from periods 3 to 12 showing blank.
Then when I am in the middle period 5 (May) the query should ONLY show me the columns for periods 1 to 4 'Actuals', no results should be shown for periods 5 to 12 yet, and I don't want to even see blank columns for period 6 to 12.
How do I define my columns, to achieve this.
Maximum points will be awarded.
Thanks Everyone.

Hi Josh,
I'm having a little difficuluty understanding what should be included in my restricted key figures.
The time characteristics that I have available to use are:
0FISCPER3 (posting period)
0FISCYEAR (fiscal year), currently using SAP EXIT to default current fiscal year.
0FISCVARNT (fiscal year variant).
In addition, I have the following characteristics available to be used in the columns:
Value type (10)
version (currently I'm using variable for it)
Currency type (020)
Currency (USD).
Can you explain what my restricted key figure should be based on and how it should look.
I tried to create a restircted key figure using 0AMOUNT, and 0FISCPER3. For 0FISCPER3 I created a range from 1 to previous period (using SAP EXIT that supplied previous period).I also had value type, version, currency type, and currency included in that restricted key figure.Then when I tried to drag 0FISCPER3 under the restricted key figure once again, it wouldn't let me, probably because I've already used 0FISCPER3 in the restricted key figure.
Please let me know if my explanation is not clear.
Your step by step help would be great.
Thanks

SmartForms Dynamic Columns

Hi, Can I in a SmartForms Report add dynamic columns?. It is this possible???
Similarly as they grow in row I can grow in columns my report.
Thank u.

If you are trying to vary the number of columns, this may not be possible. You may have fixed number of columns and change the contents (and heading) of the same in a pre-determined manner.

Column with for dynamic Columns

Hi,
In my report i have dynamic columns and i am achieving this using <?split-column-header:header?> , <?split-column-data:variable?>
I need to define with for the dynamically created columns.
How do i achieve this.
i have seen <?split-column-width:name?>,<?split-column-width:@width?> but didn't succeed.
I tried <?split-column-header:header?><?split-column-width:@200pt?><?heading?><?end split-column-data?>
Please advice.

Building dynamic columns in BO Report (BO 4.0)

Hi All
To start with I am new to BO and using reporting tool
I have a requirement to create a WEBI report which contain a table with a feature to hide / remove columns based on input selection. ( dynamic columns)
I tried to do this by following concept
In my test scenario table has 3 columns. user will select which columns to show when refreshing the report.
I created 4 tables .
table 1: column 1, column 2 and colum 3
table 2: column 1, column 2
table 3: column 1, column 3
table 4: column 2, column 3
all tables were overlapped in display.
I am trying to hide the table using the property which is available in table properties "Hide when following formula is true"
to display table 1: formula is as follows
=UserResponse("Enter Column") = "column1;column2;column3"
The problem doing this way is
1. selection should happen in a given order
2. If there are mulitple columns , it doesn't make sense to create multiple tables as combination of columns increases.
Is there a better formula to set using user response to achieve the above.
Is there any better way to achieve the above generally.
any suggestion and guidance will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello Guruprasad,
PFB link to a good explanation how to display columns dynamically.
http://blog.davidg.com.au/2011/09/dynamic-measures-in-webi-on-any-data.html
hide formula for different tables will not be easy when you have more number of columns.
another option is conditional formatting of columns based on a variable value. ie, indirectly hiding it by making background and value color white and keeping dynamic width for column.
