Type of Database field

Hi all,i have a problem;
Can i know the type of a database field; for example date,character,integer?
How can i retreive that?
By Simon

You can know the type of column by using getColumnTypeName method on the ResultSetMetaData
You can get the ResultSetMetaData from the resultset using getMetaData() method
Hope this helps !

Store values of different data types into single database field

Hi Friends,
I have to store values of different data types(character, numeric, date, time, text, etc) into a single database field(Char 80). Then read the same values and display it into ABAP Webdynpro report.
Appreciate any ideas, examples, suggestions.
Thanks

Hi,
Try like this:
data: txt1 type string,
      var1(1) type c,
      var2(1) type n,
      var3 like sy-datum,
      var4 like sy-uzeit.
parameters: a type c,
            b type n,
            c like sy-datum,
            d like sy-uzeit.
concatenate a b c d into txt1.
write txt1.
var1 = txt1+0(1).
var2 = txt1+1(1).
var3 = txt1+2(8).
var4 = txt1+8(8).
write: / var1,
       / var2,
       / var3,
       / var4.

How can I read the data type of a field in an MS Access database

I need to be able to determine if a field in an Access database is of a certain data type, and if it isn't, to change it to what it should be.
I can't seem to find any way of reading the data type of any field in any table - can anyone give me a metod of getting this info?
Thanks

Does <cfdbinfo> work for Access DBs?
You might be better off asking this on a MS Access forum. It's more of an Access issue than a CF one.

Impact of changing data type of a field in Database table

Hi All,
I need to change the data type of a field(which is not a key field and it has no dependency with any other field) from NUMC to CHAR by maintaining the same length. Please let me know if there will be any impact in doing this. Hope the following things need to be taken care:
- Take backup of entire data in the table before doing the change
- After changing the data type, I need to set the option 'Save Data' and then 'Activate and Adjust Database' in 'Database Utility'.
- Use 'Where Used List' to check the related objects.
Please let me know if there is any impact or any thing else need to be taken care apart from the above things.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Vidhya.

Hi,
even if the length is same there would be no impact.
just v need to adjust the database in the database utility.
check the table maintenence generator also. if not reflected there u need to delete it and create it again.
reward if useful,

Database fields importing as wrong data type

I am using Crystal Reports 2008, connecting to an Oracle 9i database.
Some of our database tables have a field with data type of SDO_GEOMETRY. I know this is an unsupported data type in CR, so the field list in the field explorer skips over it when I import tables using the Database Expert. However, it doesn't skip over the data type, giving each field below the SDO_GEOMETRY field the wrong type. To illustrate:
Field Name     Type (Size)
GEOLOC          SDO_GEOMETRY (1)
ID          NUMBER (22)
NAME          STRING (25)
DESC          STRING (200)
CR 2008 will skip GEOLOC, assign ID as String (2000)how it interpreted SDO_GEOM in ver. XIName as Number, and Desc as String (25). I also noticed this behavior in CR XIR2. Has anyone else run into this? The workaround I've found is to write a SQL command; but is there a setting or hotfix out that fixes the bug?

Hello,
I would recomend using a stored procedure to connect to the data and assign a Crystal-valid data type to each field so that there won't be a chance for this sort of issue to happen when pulling in data.

Update sql server database field of type datetime using jsp

I'm working in a jsp applicaion which use SQL server 2000 as database. I need to update database field with current time, so I used a bean for that in which I used following method:
public java.sql.Time getSqlTime(){
Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(new Date());
java.sql.Time sqlTime=new java.sql.Time(cal.getTime().getTime());
return sqlTime;
when I print the time on a page using this method works properly, but I update a database field of type datetime, it takes correct time but updates with '01/01/1900 12:26:46 PM' like that. I need only time , how can I correct this?
Thank you

public java.sql.Time getSqlTime(){
Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(new Date());
java.sql.Time sqlTime=new
java.sql.Time(cal.getTime().getTime());
return sqlTime;
}to get the Time for current time, you can just simply do
java.sql.Time sqlTime = new java.sql.Time(System.currentTimeMillis());I dun know about SQL server 2000... but thinked that you should declare you
field as time rather as datetime.

Database fields empty after creating a new (Crystal) Report in MSY

Hello,
I have some issues to use Crystal Reports in Mobile Sales Maintenance (MSY). The situation is as follows
My example is based on this standard report, which is working
Report Name: BPartnerActivities
Reporting Tool: Crystal Reports
Category: Standard reports
Subcategory: Lists
Report Type: Report
Data Source: Business Content provider
Business Content Provider: BPActivities
My requirement is to build a new report, which is based on the standard "BPartnerActivities" Report. If I use the "copy" functionality, I get an working Copy of the standard report. However, I need to modify the Business Content Provider, but I do not want to make the modifications on the standard content provider "BPActivities".
I am now forced to used the "copy" functionality to create a copy from "BPActivities" for my own Content Provider "My BPActivities copy", which I want to use in a new report.
Issue:
I cannot modify the defined Business Content Provider after using the "copy" functionality and hence forced to create a new report from scratch to be able to set a different Content Provider.
I create my own report "MyBPartnerActivities" based on the standard report "BPartnerActivities" using the same settings and assign my new business content provider.
If I use the "Design Report" or "Modify Report" button, the Crystal Report designer pops up. Now the problem, the Crystal Report designer does not offer me any data below "Database fields".
In the standard report, the "Database fields" has a child element "BOACTIVITY-ttx" with several field options. My own created report from sratch does now have anything?!
Why my report does not offer my any data or is there anything additional to do?
Another Test
I tried to create another report using the standard content provider "BPActivities", but I have still the same issue.
In addition I recongized that the "browse data" fuctionality does not work on the fields in the standard report. The path to the database file does not exist. It starts with "C:\WINNT\...", but my system has "C:\WINDOWS\...". But the executed report is able to retriev the data?!
Unfortunately was not able to find any proper documentation, but I would really appreciate any help.
Regards,
Andreas

Update
It looks like that the *.ttx file is not uploaded/create to/on the MSY system. The system shows the file in the Crystal Report Designer, but there is no file on the file system. The confusing thing is, that any standard report is still working and does not really complain about a missing ttx file. I think the content of the ttx file is somehow embeded to the report.
Does someone know how the system should behave? Should a ttx file be automatically created & assigned to any new report or do I have to create the file by my own every time?
Cheers,
Andreas

Full list of database fields not showing in Database Explorer

Good Afternoon,
After a recent upgrade to Windows 7 which included having Crystal Reports 2011 reinstalled on to the PC, I am now unable to open the full list of database fields when connecting to an ODBC.
I can open old reports and refresh them without issue, but I cannot create new reports.
Any suggestions gratefully received at this point
Thanks in advance
Andy

What type of database are you connecting to? Is your Win7 machine 32- or 64-bit? If it's 64-bit you need to create a 32-bit odbc connection. If you're connecting to SQL Server, make sure that you have the "SQL Server Native Client" version 10 or 11 installed - the connection doesn't work well with the version 6 SQL Server ODBC driver that's installed as part of Win7.

How to read the source file and copy the entire content to the target Database field

Hi All,
PI system extracts the actual business content from the incoming attachment file and copy the entire format to the target Database field which is a blob data type field.
Sender Adapter: SOAP
Receiver Adapter: JDBC
JDBC Structure
Can we achived the above requirement by using UDF with out Java Mapping?
Thanks,
Mahi.

Ok, in this case yo can use the conten converion of the file adapter. Therefore you first need to create a Datatype in ESR with the required structure
Then in your file adapter you need to use this datatype and its required fields:
The Datatype then can be used as usual within you mapping.

How to get 10 characters if there are 18 characters in database field

IF there are four fields in a internal table and each field have 18 character length. i should less the filed length of only 3 fields to 10 characters and should get this fields in Application layer and flat file ( out bound interface),
so can u guide me the logic how to populate the data in application layer and flat file with new field length of 3 fields and old field length of fourth field.

Hi Azeez,
First declare your internal by referring database fields and fetch data from data base into this internal table.
Ex:
types: begin of stru,
 f1 type <t1>-f1,
 f2 type <t1>-f2,
 f2 type <t1>-f2,
 f2 type <t1>-f2,
 end of stru.
Lets consider all the above fields have length 18 in database.
data: itab type standard table of stru.
data: wa_itab type stru.
data: lv_char(48) type c.
select f1 f2 f3 f4 from t1 into table itab.
loop at itab into wa_itab.
concatenate wa_itab-f1+0(10) wa_itab-f2+0(10) wa_itab-f3+0(10) wa_itab-f4
 into lv_char.
now transfer this variable (lv_char) to application server.
endloop.
hope this helps.

Phani.

Database Field for Picked Quantity in Delivery

Hi All,
We want to know the Database Field for Picked quantity in a delivery. We checked the help for the field and it points to the LIPSD structure and the field PIKMG. However I could not find it in LIPS table or any other table. Could somebody please help me locate this field in the database ?
Thanks,

Hi, This is late response i know, but maybe someone else is looking for same and needs code for same. Please keep in mind that you also need to check if users have done LT0G return from GI are back to picking bin. In this case you need minus the TO from total picking qty.
