Using aggregate functions in Oracle DBAdapter of Oracle BPEL

Hi All,
Need some info on the following:
1) Is it possible to configure a DBAdapter in line with a query like in Oracle BPEL 10.1.2
select * from emp where ROWNUM<500
The problem I am facing is that when in the process of configuring the DBAdapter , during building of the where clause I am restricted to select only the explicit feilds of EMP like first name and the last name .If this is the case then how do i select an implicit feild like ROWNUM .
It is possible to build a query like above, only if we can select ROWNUM as the first argument in the expression building wizard.
Please suggest various ways to handle the above.
Thanks
Sai

i think it is possible to specify the sql explicitly, but don't know how at the moment. if you know toplink, you may be able to do this.

  • Using FILTER function in oracle answers

    Gurus,
    I have a question related to using Filter function in oracle answers.
    When trying to insert a Filter (expr) Using (expr) clause in the formula area of a fact table field, It errored out with msg saying about using a wrong measure.
    I know this can be done with a case expression but I tried filter clause since this is available in oracle answers.
    Please help me figuring out this scenario.

  • Using Aggregate function in queries

    Hi all,
              Please take a look on this query and suggest me why i'm getting the error..
    This is my simple query using aggregate function in it..

    Both the cases are treated as same .

    It would help if you could provide sample input data and associated output that illustrates the problem

    Should your query be a valid SQL query?
    I can't think that the query you have would be valid in a SQL plus window.

  • How to use Aggregate Functions during Top N analysis?

    Say i want to find top 5 highest salaries and their totals and average. In that case how to use aggregate functions. Please give me an example on this.
    Regards,
    Renu

    user642387

    Hi,
    Yes, you can do that with aggregate functions.
    First, do a sub-query to retrieve all the salaries (in descending order), then say "WHERE ROWNUM <= 5" in the main query. Use the aggregate SUM and AVG functions in the main query.
    Analytic functions are easier to use for jobs like this, once you get familiar with them. If you're not leaving the field this month, then it's probably worthwhile for you to get familiar with analytic functions.

    I have tried like this but its errored out <?MIN (current-group()/CREATION_DATE)?>.
    I have also tried like this but it doesnt works
    <?xdoxslt:minimum(CREATION_DATE)?>
    Is it possible to use aggregate function with date values.
    Thanks & Regards
    Srikkanth

    Hi KAVI PRIYA,
    if date is not in cannonical format, how can we change it in BI publisher, then how to calcualte minimum and as well as maximum.
    please advise me,
    Thanks,

    for example:
    select konts ltext from ztab into corresponding fields of gw_konzs.
    select count(*) from kna1 into gw_konzs

  • User-Defined Aggregate Function in oracle

    Somebody knows if in oracle 10g is possible to create a User-Defined Aggregate Function?
    Sometingh like my_sum, that aggregate the values in a way that i want...
    select manager, my_sum(salary)
    group by manager
    In internet i've found rellay notingh for oracle 10g...can somebody help me? Thank's in advance!

    Thank's to everybody!!! I've made my custom function sum_distinct
    create or replace type AggregateCD as object
    (  nb                   number,
         ListOfDistinctValue  clob,
        static               function ODCIAggregateInitialize(sctx IN OUT AggregateCD) return number,
        member               function ODCIAggregateIterate(self IN OUT AggregateCD, value IN VARCHAR2) return number,
         member               function ODCIAggregateTerminate(self IN AggregateCD, returnValue OUT number, flags IN number) return number,
        member               function ODCIAggregateMerge(self IN OUT AggregateCD, ctx2 IN AggregateCD) return number
    create or replace type body AggregateCD is
       static function ODCIAggregateInitialize(sctx IN OUT AggregateCD) return number is
         begin
             sctx := AggregateCD(0,null);
             return ODCIConst.Success;

        member function ODCIAggregateIterate(self IN OUT AggregateCD, value IN VARCHAR2) return number is
            ListOfValue CLOB:=self.ListOfDistinctValue ;
         begin
             self.nb:=self.nb+to_number(substr(value , INSTR(value, ';', 1, 1)+1 ,length(value)));
            return ODCIConst.Success;
        end;
        member function ODCIAggregateTerminate(self IN AggregateCD, returnValue OUT number, flags IN number) return number is

         begin
             self.nb := ctx2.nb;
             return ODCIConst.Success;
        end;
      end;
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION sum_distinct (input VARCHAR2) RETURN number
      PARALLEL_ENABLE AGGREGATE USING AggregateCD;you can use so:
    select sum_distinct(distinct t.primary_key||';'||t.import)
    from table1 t, table2_with_bad_join
    it's the same of
    select sum(t.import)
    from table 1

  • Database Aggregate Functions and Oracle Discoverer

    Hello Guys.
    There are a lot of aggregate function inside the database, unfortunatelly some of them are not directly accesible from Oracle Discoverer.
    For example :
    STATS_BINOMIAL_TEST
    STATS_CROSSTAB
    STATS_F_TEST
    STATS_KS_TEST
    STATS_MODE
    STATS_MW_TEST
    STATS_ONE_WAY_ANOVA
    STATS_T_TEST_*
    STATS_WSR_TEST
    What is the best way to incorporate this kind of function in Oracle Discoverer ?
    Thanks
    Ramiro Ortiz Rios

    While Discoverer today is unable to recognize these Oracle Database functions, we are looking at adding this capability into the product. If you think this is important, please take the poll at http://oraclebi.blogspot.com/2006/04/must-have-in-discoverer.html
    Also, if you can spare a few minutes, do send me a mail at abhinav.oracle at gmail.com with a brief description of a use case that describes where and how these functions would be used.
    Thanks

  • Problem to  Use C function in oracle

    Hi Friends,
    i m trying to use c funciton in oracle
    as per oralce documentation its working fine when i used the demo example
    but in demo example thr are only interger data type used
    i need to use the char data type from c
    and while calling that function in c when i tried to call char as parameters data type
    its giving following error :
    SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION endecrypt(
    2 x Varchar2,
    3 y BINARY_INTEGER)
    4 RETURN Varchar2 AS
    5 EXTERNAL LIBRARY pass
    6 NAME "crypt" -- Name of function call. Quotes preserve lower case.
    7 LANGUAGE C
    8 PARAMETERS (x Char, y short);
    9 /
    Warning: Function created with compilation errors
    SQL> show err
    Errors for FUNCTION PRIME.ENDECRYPT:
    LINE/COL ERROR
    8/16 PLS-00235: the external type is not appropriate for the parameter
    0/0 PL/SQL: Compilation unit analysis terminated
    the bold part (x char) at line number 8 is having problem
    how can i solve it ?????

    If you had read the documentation as you claim to have done so you would know that STRING is probably what you want.

  • How to find exception occured while using LOGON function in oracle 10g

    Hi,
    I am using LOGON function to login with a different user name in oracle 10g forms.
    LOGON ( User, Pass@tns, FALSE)
    The third parameter is passed as 'FALSE' to avoid the login screen to be opened. If any of the other parameter ( User Name, Password, TNS) is passed wrong, connection is not established but no exception is occurred. The value for 'FORM_FAILURE' is set to 'TRUE'.
    What i need is the ORA error for connection failure. The error message related to user name/password (ORA-01017) or connection identifier (ORA-12155).
    How i can get this error code if connection is failed. Is there any other way to login in oracle forms other than 'LOGON'.

    If you pass FALSE in login you can't catch anything. Want to catch the error ?
    Then change
    LOGON ( User, Pass@tns, FALSE)
    to
    LOGON ( User, Pass@tns, TRUE) Now Create On-Error trigger at form level
    and try the following code
    if error_code=01017 then
         message('invalid user name or password');
         message('invalid user name or password');
         raise form_trigger_failure;
    elsif error_code=12154 or error_code=1215 then
         message('invalid connection string');
         message('invalid connection string');
         raise form_trigger_failure;
    end if;Hopes this helps
