Using a string host variable in SQLJ

Hi all,
Im a newbie to SQLJ. I am trying to execute a simple select query in SQLJ in which the where clause takes a string value:
So my SQLJ method is as follows:
public ResultSet test(Connection connection,String s){
Ctx myConnCtx = new Ctx(connection);
ResultIterator itr = null;
#sql [myConnCtx] {
SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE columnName=:s
return itr.getResultSet();
Is the syntax for specifying ":s" correct? I seem to be having a problem with this, i get a NullPointerException, whereas a similar query for integer parameter works fine. That is if s is an int variable, then the above method works fine.
I was wondering if I have to use some other syntax instead of :s if s is of type String??
Does anybody have any idea?
Thanks in advance.

No that is not the case. The exception im gettting is as follows:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.ibm.ws.rsadapter.jdbc.WSJdbcPreparedStatement.setString
at com.ibm.db2.jcc.sqlj.g.setString(g.java:1282)
I cannot figur out why it occurs!
Please help

How to use host variable in Java?

How do I use host variable in java? I am getting SQL code of -404 and description of SQL code is The UPDATE or INSERT statement specifies a String that is too long column-name SQLSTATE=22001. Below is my code:

if my longMessage is smaller like one line then everything works fine, but as soon as my longMessage if greater than 254 it starts giving me -404. How do I work around or Is there any way to use host variable in Java?
All kind of help is appreciated. Any question then please email me at [email protected].
Thank you.

This is what you got to do to insert a larger value.
//Assuming that message length is less than 254+ 254 characters.
//If larger then run the update loop that many times.
String longMessage = "Blah blah ... ";
String firstPart = "";
String secondPart = "";
int messageLength = longMessage.length();
if (messageLength > 254)
     try
          firstPart = longMessage.subString(0, 253);
          secondPart = longMessage.subString(254, message);
     catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException e)
//In the first insert set the first 254 characters
ps.setString(1, firstPart);
int result = ps.executeUpdate();
if (result != 0)
       System.out.println("Insert sucessful ");
       if (messageLength > 254)
            //now update with the second part.
            static String UPDATE_SECOND_PART = UPDATE my.table SET LONG_COL = LONG_COL || ? WHERE KEY_COL = ?;
            ps2 = connection.getPreparedStatement(UPDATE_SECOND_PART);
            ps2.setString(1, secondPart);
            ps2.setString(2, businessId); //assuming that businessId is the primary key.
            int result2 = ps2.executeUpdate();
            if (result2 != 0)
                  System.out.println("Update sucessful ");
            else
                 System.out.println("Update failed ");
else
       System.out.println("Insert failed ");
}Hope this helps.

Management Report - Cannot assign an empty string to host variable 10

We ran a Management Report for the first time after completing the User/Role/Profile Full Sync and the user/Role/Profile Batch Risk Analysis. The job failed with the following error:
Oct 16, 2008 12:13:29 PM com.virsa.cc.xsys.bg.BatchRiskAnalysis runBkgMgmReport
WARNING: Exception in Management Report Job: Cannot assign an empty string to host variable 10.
com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException: Cannot assign an empty string to host variable 10.
We are on GRC 5.3 support pack 4. Has anybody encountered this error? What does host variable 10 refer to?

I checked our USOBT_C table and we have a lot of empty values. If this is allowed to be empty in SAP and this is the table that is uploaded into CC, why would all the fields in CC tables then be defined as NOT NULL? We suspect that since we had uploaded USOBT_C under 5.2 and if this had been an issue before, it may have been corrected when we upgraded to 5.3 but then the old data is still in our system. Is there an easy way to get around or correct this?
Thanks.

Use a String to get data from a variable?

Hi, I've got a major problem, I need to get data (int []) from a variable, using a String with the name of the variable..
Does anyone know if this is possible?
public class Commands {
    private static final int[] deploy_1 = {64,37,73,1};
    private static final int[] deploy_2 = {4,167,6,51};
    /** Creates a new instance of Commands */
    public Commands() {
    public int[] get(String name)
// what code here?
}I should be getting the data with
int[] command = Commands.get("deploy_1");
or something like that...
Please help me!
FYI, a hashtable is not a option!
Many thanks, Vikko

java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: deploy_1

Any ideas why I get a NoSuchFieldException?

Using a string to reference a variable

hi all,
i've encountered an interesting scenario where i need to use a string to reeference the value of a variable...the following would show the scenario in a simpler way...
let's say we have such function called foo:
void foo(String aString)
int a = 20;
int b = 20;
system.out.println(?????);
now let's say i run the function as:
foo("a")
and i want it to return:
20
what should be put to replace those "?????" in my function above?
please note that variables "a" and "b" are arbitary and so having a conditional statement like the following would NOT be useful:
void foo(String aString)
int a = 20;
int b = 20;
if (aString.equals("a"))
system.out.println(a);
if (aString.equals("b"))
system.out.println(b);
thank you very much!

There are two possibilities here.
The preferable one, if you have control over the names and nature of the variables, then don't use individual variables - use a Hashtable (or any implementation of Map). Your code would then look something like:void foo(String aString)
    Map table = new Hashtable();
    table.put("a", new Integer(20));
    table.put("b", new Integer(30));
    system.out.println(table.get(aString));
}The down side to this is that you have to use Integers - Maps can't take primitives.
If, on the other hand, you have to have variables, then take a look at using reflection. It's more complicated than using Maps, and less efficient, so I would recommend the first technique if possible.

How to set #HOST# variable used in Chart template using Multiple Domains?

I have a extended question to How can I set #HOST# variable referenced in the Chart template?
In addition to the Proxy layer, we are looking to use multiple sub-domain names into the same Oracle APEX instance (through the one DAD) each mapped to a different application id. Therefore I don't think the solution in the link will work for me - as this embeds a single domain name in the DADS.CONF.
Two questions:
- Is it possible to set the "HTTP_HOST" in "dads.conf" using an existing HTTP Header value? - my proxy can pass on the original domain as "HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST". So if it was possible to use (say: using whatever form/syntax of parameterisation is available) ?
>
PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList HTTP_HOST=%{HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST}
>
If it can then that would work for me. It would be great if modl_plsql handled this out of the box as I understand the "X-FORWARDED" approach is pretty standard in the proxy world including passing on original IP addresses. Hitting an phpinfo() site shows headers
>
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR     192.168.2.100
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST     dev.mycompany.com:443
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_SERVER     mycompany.com
>
- Alternatively is it possible in APEX environment to set the #HOST# from the HTTP Header "HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST" if it exists for all requests?
Thanks

Hi Donna,
changing the CGI environment variables HTTP_HOST, REQUEST_PROTOCOL and SERVER_PORT is the correct way how to resolve this, because it appears that your hiding the web server where you have installed mod_plsql or EPG by a different outside facing web server (also called reverse proxy). That's why APEX gets the host name, protocol and port of the internal web server, but should actually get the values of your reverse proxy web server. Can can fix that by changing the following CGI environment variables.
HTTP_HOST should just contain the domain name (no protocol or port). For example: www.oracle.com
REQUEST_PROTOCOL should contain http or https
SERVER_PORT should be the port for https
I don't want to add a new cgi variable called HOST because HOST sounds so generic and it might interfere with something else running in our environment. Or, I don't want to change the plsql cgi environment variable (such as HTTP_HOST) because many developers may use owa_util.get_cgi_env('HTTP_HOST') to get the current server. If the SERVER_PORT is part of the #HOST# then what could I change it to if it needs to be null. If you leave it blank, then the default SERVER_PORT comes from the CGI variables.The value of HTTP_HOST is wrong anyway and points to your internal web server, but I assume your developers actually want to get the host name of your external web server if they use it to generate absolute URLs. That's why I wouldn't bother and set it to the correct host name.

Can I use C++ objects as Host variables in Pro*C++

Hi,
I have a C++ object in my Pro*C++ program. The objects has
members representing all the fields of a oracle table record.
e.g. For a table TEST_PRODUCT ( product_id, name),
the C++ class is :
class prd
public:
int id;
char name[50];
Can I use the Object of this class as a Host Variable ? In SQL
select query , I want to directly fetch record into this object.
When I declare this object within EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION
and END DECLARE SECTION , it gives me compilation error.
Is that supported by Pro*C++ ? If yes, how to do it?
Pls help.
Thanks

I find it easier to decalre a local variable in the EXEC SQL
block and then assign that to your class variable at the end of
the statement. It makes it easy to check for nulls and db
errors without affecting the C++ object.

How to create dynamic connection string with variables using ssis.

Hello,
Can anyone let me know on how to create dynamic connection string with variables using ssis?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi vinay9738,
According to your description, you want to connect multiple database from multiple servers using dynamic connection.
If in this case, we can create a Table in our local database (whatever DB we want) and load all the connection strings. We can use Execute SQL Task to query all the connection strings and store the result-set in a variable of object type in SSIS package.
Then use ForEach Loop container to shred the content of the object variable and iterate through each of the connection strings. And then Place an Execute SQL task inside ForEach Loop container with the SQL statements we have to run in all the DB instances.
For more details, please refer to the following blog:
http://sql-developers.blogspot.kr/2010/07/dynamic-database-connection-using-ssis.html
If there are any other questions, please feel free to let me know.

Substring for Strings, what do I use for a int variable???

Hi!
substring for Strings...
String s1 = p.substring(1,2);
but what do I use for a int variable?
int i1 = integ."???????"(1,2);
/Henrik

why, you use maths of course!!
or if you're not up to that, try this:
int x = 931;
String s = x+"";
String res = s.substring(1, 2);
and of course set it back to an int
with Integer.parseInt(res);

Using a string variable to create an object

Hi, I just have a quick question. It is probably very simple but I can not seem to find an asnwer anywhere.
I have a class called Receive, from this class I derrive 12 difference other classes.
I also have a hashtable with a bunch of Object objects. At run time I get one of these objects according to some hastable key. So once I have this object I need to cast it to the right type (one of the above mentioned 12).
So I know I can find out which type this object is by doing this: object.getClass()
This returns a Class object. I then need to somehow use this class object to perform the cast. I tried everything and it doesnt seem to work. Then I thought well I can get the string name of the class : object.getClass().getName()
So I'm wandering if there is a way to use this string to cast my object. Or maybe there is another way.
I did see the cast() method in the Class api but I can't figure out the point of it since is returns an Object class object and not my class's object.

I took your advice and re factored the Receive class so it had all the functionality I needed except two methods which would then be overridden in the derived classes. What I had a hard time understanding is once an object of class say SpecialReceive extends Receive it can be referred to as Receive yet still maintain that it's a SpecialReceive.
What I mean is if I give a Receive object to some method and this method has no idea that this object is actually SpecialReceive and it calls a method say run() which gets overridden by the SpecialReceive. I thought that since this method has no idea what type of Receive this object is it will execute Receive's run(). But it actually does know what type of class it is and it executes the right run() method (the one that SpecialReceive overrides).
After I realized this there is no more need for casting.
Thanks everyone for your contributions.

DB2Exception - The value of a host variable in the EXECUTE or OPEN statemen

I want to store a XML file into database.
To undersdande my problem, please see the code below:
java.sql.Connection conn = null ;
PreparedStatement ps;
// Here I'm calling a function to get Database Connection.
String sXmlFile = "" ; // This variable stores a XML file as String
String sSQL = "INSERT INTO Crs_x_xml (XML_TRAN_ID,XML_MESSAGE,SUSPENDED_FLAG ) VALUES(?,?,?)";
try {
     ps = conn.prepareStatement(sSQL);
     ps.setLong(1,1);
     ps.setBytes(2, sXmlFile.getBytes());
     ps.setString(3,"A");
     ps.executeUpdate();
     conn.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
The Problem:
The table Crs_x_xml that I used has three columns, the first is a int, the second is a BLOB and third is Char(1) and its in DB2 running on AIX.
Sometimes it execute very well. But sometimes gives following error :=
COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2Exception: [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2/AIX64] SQL0302N The value of a host variable in the EXECUTE or OPEN statement is too large for its corresponding use. SQLSTATE=22001
I dont know whats going wrong. Plz help....

Hi,
I am using a CMP query in websphere, in which i am trying to execute a select query.
The query is as follows:
SELECT OBJECT(o) FROM HrTmmbrAct o WHERE o.tmmbrActC IN ( 1,2,3 ) AND o.effD BETWEEN '2000-02-11' AND '2008-02-22'
The tmmbrActC is defined as a string in the Websphere CMP fields. I am not sure now to pass the value to it. Do we need to pass it as objects. pls help.
Thanks

Host variables in JDBC

Hi,
I am trying to write INSERT statements to an Access 97 table using JDBC. It works fine when the fields (mostly strings) to insert are directly given but when i try to use host variables it does not work.
I have seen it work with Oracle though. Does anybody know if this is possible with Access 97?
Thank you!

Thnaks for replying. I declared a string:
String na="seles";
and tried to pass na as a parameter in my insert statement. See code below:
import java.sql.*;
public class InsertRows {
public static void main(String args[]) {
String url = "jdbc:odbc:ds2";
Connection con;
Statement stmt;
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
} catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
try {
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "davys", "password");
stmt = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
String na="seles";
stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO CONTACTS " + "VALUES (12, na, 'ny', 'tennis player')");
stmt.close();
con.close();
} catch(SQLException ex) {
System.err.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
}

Powershell use Connection String to query Database and write to Excel

Right now I have a powershell script that uses ODBC to query SQL Server 2008 / 2012 database and write to EXCEL
$excel = New-Object -Com Excel.Application
$excel.Visible = $True
$wb = $Excel.Workbooks.Add()
$ws = $wb.Worksheets.Item(1)
$ws.name = "GUP Download Activity"
$qt = $ws.QueryTables.Add("ODBC;DSN=$DSN;UID=$username;PWD=$password", $ws.Range("A1"), $SQL_Statement)
if ($qt.Refresh()){
$ws.Activate()
$ws.Select()
$excel.Rows.Item(1).HorizontalAlignment = $xlCenter
$excel.Rows.Item(1).VerticalAlignment = $xlTop
$excel.Rows.Item("1:1").Font.Name = "Calibri"
$excel.Rows.Item("1:1").Font.Size = 11
$excel.Rows.Item("1:1").Font.Bold = $true
$filename = "D:\Script\Reports\Status_$a.xlsx"
if (test-path $filename ) { rm $filename }
$wb.SaveAs($filename, $xlOpenXMLWorkbook) #save as an XML Workbook (xslx)
$wb.Saved = $True #flag it as being saved
$wb.Close() #close the document
$Excel.Quit() #and the instance of Excel
$wb = $Null #set all variables that point to Excel objects to null
$ws = $Null #makes sure Excel deflates
$Excel=$Null #let the air out
I would like to use connection string to query the database and write results to EXCEL, i.e.
$SQL_Statement = "SELECT ..."
$conn = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
$conn.ConnectionString = "Server=10.10.10.10;Initial Catalog=mydatabase;User Id=$username;Password=$password;"
$conn.Open()
$cmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand($SQL_Statement,$conn)
do{
try{
$rdr = $cmd.ExecuteReader()
while ($rdr.read()){
$sql_output += ,@($rdr.GetValue(0), $rdr.GetValue(1))
$transactionComplete = $true
catch{
$transactionComplete = $false
}until ($transactionComplete)
$conn.Close()
How would I read the columns and data for $sql_output into an EXCEL worksheet. Where do I find these tutorials?

Hi Q.P.Waverly,
If you mean to export the data in $sql_output to excel document, please try to format the output with psobject:
$sql_output=@()
do{
try{
$rdr = $cmd.ExecuteReader()
while ($rdr.read()){
$sql_output+=New-Object PSObject -Property @{data1 = $rdr.GetValue(0);data2 =$rdr.GetValue(1)}
$transactionComplete = $true
catch{
$transactionComplete = $false
}until ($transactionComplete)
$conn.Close()
Then please try to use the cmdlet "Export-Csv" to export the data to excel like:
$sql_output | Export-Csv d:\data.csv
Or you can export to worksheet like:
$excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$excel.Visible = $true
$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add()
$sheet = $workbook.ActiveSheet
$counter = 0
$sql_output | ForEach-Object {
$counter++
$sheet.cells.Item($counter,1) = $_.data1$sheet.cells.Item($counter,2) = $_.data2}
Refer to:
PowerShell and Excel: Fast, Safe, and Reliable
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Modbus Ethernet read and write to a Eurotherm 6180XIO Modbus server using LV8.2 shared variables

I am having EXTREME difficulty trying to establish communications with a Modbus device using LV8.2 shared variables. The device is a Eurotherm 6180XIO Datalogger configured as a Modbus master. The PC and a cFP-1804 are slaves. All IP addresses are set correctly. This approach using shared variables would seem simple, but I can't find any examples or proper guidance on how to get it working. I am trying to avoid having to mess around with TCP/IP, OPC, or any other old-fashioned method.
I have read many threads on related topics but none directly apply to this situation. I have created a library containing a Modbus I/O server and shared variables bound to read and write holding registers. I have followed all recommended tips for creating such variables but I can neither read or write data. All data types are U16 due to Modbus protocol limitations. I have also applied the LV x10 factor in the most significant digit in the register offset (6 digits instead of 5).
I have a cFP-1804 on the same network which reads into the datalogger OK. The registers I use are 31000 (for CH0 on module 0, 31002 for CH1, etc) and the data can be read as FLOAT32. I have updated the firmwate on the 1804 to the latest level. I cannot even get shared variables to read SGL values. Using registers 301001 for CH0 and 301002 for CH1 I can only read U16 values, and not a 2-word SGL.
Third party Modbus simulation software is able to write to and read from registers very easily, but not LabVIEW.
Some questions are:
- do I use a Modbus master or slave as an I/O server in the library as a target for binding the shared variables?
- is there some other wierd translation in register offsets between LabVIEW and traditional Modbus?
- is this actually possible using shared variables or am I wasting my time?

Sending the whole 60-character string using a string or array would be the most efficient. I have tried both methods, and these only cause the datalogger to flag a message log but no text is displayed.
For a string variable, I have used the following binding "My Computer\Modbus Test.lvlib\ModbusServer6180\442305", where ModbusServer6180 is a Modbus I/O server configured with the logger IP address, and 42304 is the register offset at the start of the text block in the logger. I need to write to 30 consecutive registers starting with this one. I am not using buffering and have not enabled single writer.
Can anyone confirm whether this method should work in 8.2?
Does the string need a special termination character?
