Use of SQL CTBL tables in logic

In v4, the conso engine produced a side table all preceded with CTBL and this table contained each parent and all its ultimate children. By querying this table, you could get in scope in your query all the children of a specific parent. This technique was used very often in logic in the %SELECT% statements where you would do something like return all the ultimate children for your consolidation (or GROUPS) structure on which you need to perform additional logic steps after consolidation (for example to correct capital charges).
It is my understanding that these CTBL tables are no longer generated in v5 and hence v7.
Hence my question:
- is this true
- if so, what would be an alternative to using this technique you have experience with ?
Thank you for your help,
Edwin van Geel, SAP Netherlands

Hi Edwin,
Most of the CTBL tables are still being generated and can still be used using logic.
I don't have experience with v7, so I can't really help you with this one, but on the other hand, somehow I can't imagine that they removed this from v7 M.

How to use PL/SQL type table in SQL FROM clause

Hi All,
I have to use a PL/SQL type table in our SQL statement as a table?
I am using the syntax (below) but it gives PL/SQL: ORA-00902: invalid datatype
SELECT ... FROM TABLE(CAST( var_pl/sql_table AS pl/sql_table)) tab WHERE tab.a=1;
Plz reply with an example.
Thanks.. Ratan

You don't need a cast!!!
     select *
     from table ( <nested_table> )
     where <condition>Anyway, are you sure that tab.a is a number?
Here follows an example with an useful function
CREATE OR REPLACE
type string_table as table of varchar2(4000)
CREATE OR REPLACE
FUNCTION split_string (
     string IN varchar2,
     delimiter IN varchar2
) RETURN string_table IS
     tab string_table;
     pre integer;
     post integer;
     step integer;
     i integer;
BEGIN
     pre := 1;
     step := length(delimiter);
     i := 0;
     tab := string_table();
     loop
          tab.extend;
          i := i + 1;
          post := instr(string,delimiter,pre);
          if ( post = 0 ) then
               tab(i) := substr(string,pre);
               return tab;
          end if;
          tab(i) := substr(string,pre,post-pre);
          pre := post + step;
     end loop;
END;
select * from table (split_string('abc,dfg,hij',','))

Using MS-SQL Server tables to build Universes

My team has been tasked to create Universes so users can create WEBI reports. We don't have a business warehouse, but that appeared not to be a problem as our understanding is that we can create Universes directly from MS-SQL Server tables.
On attempting to use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (20005), we find that once we expand the list of tables for SAP performance slows down to a 5 to 10 second response time between mouse clicks.
Is there a setting to work around this? Are we approaching this the wrong way? Is there documentation that addresses this?
Thanks,
Leo

Hi Leo,
There are a couple of options which can help improve the performance of your designer.
1) Under tools, options on the graphics tab if you turn off the Show Row Counts, then the db will not be queried for the number of rows
2) Check tools, options general ensure Automatic parse upon defintion and check universe integrity at opening are checked off
It is not clear from your message, but you mentioned SAP as your source. I am not sure if you intended that you were connecting directly to SAP or not.
The number of tables can also have an impact of the performance of the designer tool. You can limit the number of tabels by tailoring a tables strategies. This means you can limit the query that returns the list of table to a specific set.
Hope this helps

Dynamic SQL : passing table name as parameter

Hi
I have a SQL query (a store procedure ) that i want to convert to PLSQL
This is a part of my SQL query that i am trying to to find a solution for it, because i cant convert it to oracle :
DECLARE lookupTableRow CURSOR FOR
SELECT TableName FROM SYS_LookUpTable
OPEN lookupTableRow
FETCH NEXT FROM lookupTableRow INTO @tableName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS=0
BEGIN
SET @sql='SELECT * FROM '+@tableName
EXECUTE sp_executesql @sql
IF @counter=0
BEGIN
INSERT INTO T_TABLE_MAPPING VALUES('P_MAIN_METADATA', 'Table', @tableName)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO T_TABLE_MAPPING VALUES('P_MAIN_METADATA', 'Table'+CONVERT(NVARCHAR(10),@counter), @tableName)
END
SET @counter=@counter+1
FETCH NEXT FROM lookupTableRow INTO @tableName
END
CLOSE lookupTableRow
DEALLOCATE lookupTableRow
As i understand i can't use ORACLE dynamic sql (execute immediate) when the table name is a parameter
Furthermore when i execute this dynamic query in my SQL store procedure each SELECT statement return me as a result the relevant table rows , those result are different in each loop .
So i cant do this too with ORACLE dynamic sql .
Please advice for any solution
* how can i use dynamic sql with table name as parameter ?
* how can i use a "dynamic" cursor, in order to be able to display the dynamic results ?
Thanks for the advice

I have a SQL query (a store procedure ) that i want to convert to PLSQL
I doesn't help when you use one term to mean another thing.
SQL is a language used in both Oracle and other products, such as Microsoft's SQL Server. I don't know much about SQL Server, but Oracle (at least) doesn't support stored procedures in SQL itself; they have to be coded in some other language, such as PL/SQL.
As i understand i can't use ORACLE dynamic sql (execute immediate) when the table name is a parameter
If the table name is a parameter (or only known at run-time for any reason), that's exactly the kind of situation where you MUST use dynamic SQL.
The number of columns that a query produces (and their datatypes) is fixed when you compile a query, whether that query is dynamic or not. If you have multiple queries, that produce result sets with different numbers of columns, then you can't combine them into a single query. The best you can do with one query is to add NULL columns to some of the queries so they all produce the same number of columns.
If you're just displaying the results, there might not be any reason to combine separate result sets. Just display one result set after another.
Whenever you have a question, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).

Future support for using PL/SQL core business logic with ADF BC

We want to migrate our large Forms client/server (6i) application to ADF, possibly using a migration tool like Ciphersoft Exodus.
One scenario could be to use ADF BC and ADF-Faces or a different JSF-Implementation for presentation and business layer but keep our heavy PL/SQL-businesslogic inside the Oracle database in packages, triggers, functions and procedures.
This scenario could be chosen due to the huge amount of interconnected logic inside the database (10 years of development; no technical components; any package may access any table and more of this kind of dependencies). The business logic nowadays held in Forms client will be moved mainly into the database as a prerequisite to this scenario.
Choosing this "keep-logic-in-DB"-scenario we need a good support by ADF BC to do so. We know and prototyped that it is possible to call some PL/SQL via JDBC from ADF BC and it is possible to use stored procedure calls for standard business entity data access (ins, del, upd, ..). But this does not solve our problems. We want to reuse core business logic coded in PL/SQL. This is much more than change the ADF standard behavior for an update with an own PL/SQL-call.
Now my question:
Will there be a kind of sophisticated support to use ADF BC in combination with database-kept logic?
If so, when will this happen and how will the common problems of transactional state inside the database and inside the ADF BC be solved? Any plans or ideas yet?
Many other clients do have similar applications built in Forms and PL/SQL and would be glad to hear about a path of direction.
I've read the technical article 'understanding the ADF BC state management feature' which you have contributed to. One current limitation is pointed out there: Using PL/SQL with ADF BC limits ADF AM pooling to 'restricted level' which reduces scalability.
Are you aware of additional main problems/tasks to solve when using PL/SQL heavily with ADF BC, which we have to think about?
Thank you for any response.
Ingmar

My main problem is two 'concurrent' areas holding state in an application system based on DB-stored PL/SQL-logic in combination with ADF BC.
For a new System everything can be made ok:
Sure, it is possible to build a new system with the business logic included in ADF BC only. All long-living state will be handled in the BC layer ( including support for UnitsOfWork longer than the webside short HTTP-requests and HTTP-sessions and longer than the database transactions.
For an old system these problems arise:
1. DB data changes not reflected in BC layer:
Our PL/SQL-logic changes data in tables without notifying the ADF BC layer (and its cache). To keep the data in ADF BC entity objects identical to the changed database content a synchronization is needed. BC does not know which part of the application data has been changed because it has not initiated the changes through its entity objects. Therefore a full refresh is needed. In a Forms4GL environment the behavior is similar: We do frequently requeries of all relevant (base)tables after calling database stored logic to be sure to get the changed data to display and to operate on it.
-> Reengineering of the PL/SQL-logic to make the ADF BC layer aware of the changes is a big effort (notifying BC about any change)
2. longer living database transactions
Our PL/SQL-logic in some areas makes use of lengthy database transactions. The technical DB-transaction is similar to the UnitOfWork. If we call this existing logic from ADF BC, database state is produced which will not be DB-committed in the same cycle.
This reduces scalability of ADF BC AM pooling.
Example:
a) Call a DB-stored logic to check if some business data is consistent and prepare some data for versioning. This starts a DB-transaction but does not commit it.
b) Control is handed back to the user interface. Successful result of step a) is displayed
c) User now executes the versioning operation
d) Call another DB-stored logic to execute the versioning. DB-transaction is still open
e) Business layer commits the transaction automatically after successful finishing step d). Otherwise everything from a) to e) is rolled back.
-> redesign of this behavior (= cutting the 1to1 relation between LogicalUnitOfWork and the technicalDatabaseTransaction is a big effort due to the big amount of code.

Problem using a SQL database Catalogue to insert data to a table

I am developing with Version:
10.3.1.0, Build: #99765....
as part of a step in my process I need to store some data in an audit table.
I have setup the SQL Catalogue entry and then use the following code:
sentMail is defined as a local variable
sentMail = RSPCA.Resources.RSPCA.R_SENTEMAIL()
sentMail.sentemailBody = sendInternalRequest.htmlbody
sentMail.sentemailDatesent = Fuego.Lang.Time
sentMail.sentemailSubject = subject
sentMail.sentemailTo = creation.participant.email
sentMail.sentemailType = "People"
store sentMail
This works if I comment out this line:
sentMail.sentemailBody = sendInternalRequest.htmlbody
The issue I'm having maybe something to do with the size of the data, in oracle the field is a varchar2(4000) and it looks like the catalogue treats it as a String(4000), if I make sure I only put around 1500 characters in the field it works, but as soon as I put all in from my test data (about 2300) it fails with this message:

Suspect you're not going to like this answer, but I never use the store() method for a database heir object anymore.
The store() database method has been broken and then fixed and then broken again on too many release cycles to trust that it will work consistently as MPs/Hotfixes are applied. I'd suspect that your "String(4000)" problem might also be related to using the store() method.
Others will probably disagree, but only use the OOTB PBL (JDBC) SQL or Dynamic SQL in the PBL logic. In your case, I think you might be best served by using Dynamic SQL. With Dynamic SQL you don't run into the shortcomings of JDBC SQL (String(4000) might be one of them) and you can then test / debug your SQL in your favorite DB tool of choice first (e.g. Toad, Squirrel, Sql Plus). Once successfully tested, you can then paste it back into your PBL.

How can I load a .xlsx File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS?

I know I've REALLY struggled with this before. I just don't understand why this has to be soooooo difficult.
I can very easily do a straight Data Pump of a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a normal Excel Connection and a normal Excel Source...simply converting Unicode to DT_STR and then using an OLE DB Destination of the SQL Server Table.
If I want to make the SSIS Package a little more flexible by allowing multiple .xlsX spreadsheets to be pumped in by using a Foreach Loop Container, the whole SSIS Package seems to go to hell in a hand basket. I simply do the following...
Put the Data Flow Task within the Foreach Loop Container
Add the Variable Mapping Variable User::FilePath that I defined as a Variable and a string within the FOreach Loop Container
I change the Excel Connection and its Expression to be ExcelFilePath ==> @[User::FilePath]
I then try and change the Excel Source and its Data Access Mode to Table Name or view name variable and provide the Variable Name User::FilePath
And that's when I run into trouble...
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]:SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occured. Error code: 0x80004005.
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]: Opening a rowset for "...(the EXACT Path and .xlsx File Name)...". Check that the object exists in the database. (And I know it's there!!!)
I don't understand by adding a Foreach Loop Container to try and make this as efficient as possible has caused such an error unless I'm overlooking something. I have even tried delaying my validations and that doesn't seem to help.
I have looked hard in Google and even YouTube to try and find a solution for this but for the life of me I cannot seem to find anything on pumping a .xlsX file into SQL Server using a Foreach Loop Container.
Can ANYONE please help me out here? I'm at the end of my rope trying to get this to work. I think the last time I was in this quandry, trying to pump a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS, I actually wrote a C# Script
to write the contents of the .xlsX File into a .csv File and then Actually used the .csv File to pump the data into a SQL Server Table.
Thanks for your review and am hoping and praying for a reply and solution.

Hi ITBobbyP,
If I understand correctly, you want to load data from multiple sheets in an .xlsx file into a SQL Server table.
If in this scenario, please refer to the following tips:
The Foreach Loop container should be configured as shown below:
Enumerator: Foreach ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator
Connection String: The OLE DB Connection String for the excel file.
Schema: Tables.
In the Variable Mapping, map the variable to Sheet_Name, and change the Index from 0 to 2.
The connection string for Excel Connection Manager is the original one, we needn’t make any change.
Change Table Name or View name to the variable Sheet_Name.
If you want to load data from multiple sheets in multiple .xlsx files into a SQL Server table, please refer to following thread:

How can I use the SQL to create a primary key for a existing table?

create table a(bm number,mc varchar2(20));
when the table was created,i want to make the column bm as
the primary key and my SQL is "alter table a enable primary key bm",the system show
me error,how can I write the right one?

create table a(bm number,mc varchar2(20));
when the table was created,i want to make the column bm as
the primary key and my SQL is "alter table a enable primary key bm",the system show
me error,how can I write the right one? You do not have any primary key defined on your table yet, so, it does not make sense to enable it (if at all possible) !
You need to add PRIMARY KEY using something like this:
SQL> alter table a add constraint pk_a_bm primary key (bm) ;

can you guys suggest me how can I use pl/sql tables for the below query to incresing the performance.
There would be absolutely no point at all in improving the performance of code that has NO benefit.
The only result of executing that code is to possibly produce some lines of output AFTER the entire procedure if finished:
dbms_output.put_line (imgname_rec.cs_ownerid || ',' || total_val || ',' || freeform_id || ',' || freeform_name);
So first you need to explain:
1. what PROBLEM you are trying to solve?
2. why you are trying to use PL/SQL code to solve it.
3. why are you using 'slow by slow' (row by row) processing and then, for each row, opening a new cursor to query more data?
You should be using a single query rather than two nested cursors. But that begs the question of what the code is even supposed to be doing since the only output is going to a memory buffer.

How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.

How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.
1. Excel File is on My PC.
2. And I want to write a Stored Procedure or Package to do that.
3. DataBase is on Other Server. Client-Server Environment.
4. I am Using Toad or PlSql developer tool.

If you would like to create a package/procedure in order to solve this problem consider using the UTL_FILE in built package, here are a few steps to get you going:
1. Get your DBA to create directory object in oracle using the following command:
create directory TEST_DIR as ‘directory_path’;
Note: This directory is on the server.
2. Grant read,write on directory directory_object_name to username;
You can find out the directory_object_name value from dba_directories view if you are using the system user account.
3. Logon as the user as mentioned above.
Sample code read plain text file code, you can modify this code to suit your need (i.e. read a csv file)
function getData(p_filename in varchar2,
p_filepath in varchar2
) RETURN VARCHAR2 is
input_file utl_file.file_type;
--declare a buffer to read text data
input_buffer varchar2(4000);
begin
--using the UTL_FILE in built package
input_file := utl_file.fopen(p_filepath, p_filename, 'R');
utl_file.get_line(input_file, input_buffer);
--debug
--dbms_output.put_line(input_buffer);
utl_file.fclose(input_file);
--return data
return input_buffer;
end;
Hope this helps.

Dropping a Table Using PL/SQL

I've read that PL/SQL doesn't support DDL, which seems to mean that I cannot use PL/SQL to create, alter, or drop a table. Is this true? I've written (but not tested) some PL/SQL code that needs to drop a table and rename another table under certain circumstances. Would this code work?:
IF archAlertCount = 0 THEN
     EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP TABLE ' || tName(x);
     EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'RENAME ' || tName(x) || '_temp TO ' || tName(x);
     COMMIT;
ELSE
     ROLLBACK;
     END IF;
END LOOP;
I can't test it because my test environment isn't ready... that's why I'm asking instead of just trying it.
As always, I appreciate any responses.
Rebecca

Hello;
This Points you should have still in focus.
* Implicit Commit's with DDL's
your transaction before a DDL are automatically committed.
* Invalid Package
If your procedure references the Object, which should be dropped,
in static code it will get invalid.
