Using & in the SQL statements

Hi,
I have a big sql file which contains a lot of insert statements and one of the columns which contains customer details the value can be 'Mr & Mrs xxx'. when i am running this from SQl*PLUS whenever the insert statement with a value like this comes up i am being prompted to enter a value for Mrs ... Can i set any parameter in Sql*plus so that sql*plus ignores the & and inserts the record.
Thanks in advance

Since scan seems obsolete in 10gR2, work with : 
set define off

How to use presentaion variable in the SQL statement

Is there any special syntax to use a presentation variable in the SQL Statement?
I am setting a presentation variable (Fscl_Qtr_Var)in the dashboard prompt.
If i set the filter as ADD->VARIABLE->PRESENTATION, it shows the statement as 'Contract Request Fiscal Quarter is equal to / is in @{Fscl_Qtr_Var} '.
And this works fine but when i convert this to SQL, it returns
"Contract Request Date"."Contract Request Fiscal Quarter" = 'Fscl_Qtr_Var'
And this does not work.It is not being set to the value in the prompt.
I need to combine this condition with other conditions in the SQL Statement. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Try this: '@{Fscl_Qtr_Var}'

The SQL statement is not valid - when importing data from SQL Server using a query

Hi there,
I am trying to import data from SQL to Power Pivot using a SQL query like below:
SELECT Score.FieldCount, Score.Record.GetAt(0), Score.Record.GetAt(1), Score.Record.GetAt(2), Score.Record.GetAt(3), Score.Record.GetAt(4)
FROM
SELECT * FROM dbo.CLR1(
dbo.CLR2('c:\FILES\Test.xml'),
'SELECT * FROM [dbo].[CXCustomer_Small]') Input
) Score
And when I tried to validate it, it returns
The SQL statement is not valid. A column name cannot be blank.
I ran the above SQL statement in Management Studio and it works without problem. Any idea?
Thanks!

Error when generating the SQL statement while running the Query

Hello SDN Mates,
Am using three cubes in one infoset and build a query on that. Intially it was running fine, but now am getting error generating the SQL statement. Can you please throw some light on this. Your idea would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Arun S

Hi Arun
is there any change in the objects (Check also the consistency of infoobject ) included in infoset, just make sure those are active, open the query in designer and check if no error/warning message are present
Thanks

How to view the SQL statement generated during execution of the BW Query?

Dear Experts,
I am trying to retrieve data in a SAP BW Query from a Non-SAP system.
I think if I am able to see the complete SQL statement that was generated when I executed the BW Query, I may be able to use it to retrieve the data.
Do you know how and where I can see the SQL statement of a BW Query's SQL statement?
I tried RSRT options to execute the Query but still could not find the SQL statement.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shunhui.

hi
goto rsrt
give your query name
select execute + debug option
in the debug option under data manager check the check box "display SQL/BIA query
selcet continue
you can see the sql statement

How to pass the bind variable value to the sql statement of the LOV

Hi,
I am using Forms 10g builder.
I have a text item which will be populated by a LOV when i press a button, but i have a bind variable in the SQL statement of the LOV. That bind variable should be replaced by a value which is derived from a radio group in the same data block.
For Ex: ( )radio1 ( )radio2
before i click on the push button, I'll select one of the radio button above,so my question is how to assign this radio group value to the bind variable in the sql statement in the LOV?
Pl any hint is appreciated!
Thanks
Reddy

The variable can be taken into account in the SELECT order contained in the Record Group used by the LOV.
e.g. Select ... From ... Where column = :block.radio_group ...Francois

There is an unclosed comment block in the SQL statement. Ensure that there are balanced "/*" and "*/" comment markers in the SQL statement.

I get this error - when I try a Multi-line comment entry - by using the /* and */
"There is an unclosed comment block in the SQL statement. Ensure that there are balanced "/*" and "*/" comment
markers in the SQL statement."
Even though I am entering both the /* and the */.
I tried it many way - in the same line, in different lines etc..
like
/* Select xxx from xxx */
or
Select xxx from xxx
or
/* Select xx from xx
Please help anyone..! ;=(

But When I do a Help/About I see that it is
the SSMSE's Help About screen says "SQL Server 2005"
However I downloaded and installed SQL Server 2014 last night and was entering queries..
Most Select Queries work fine..
the -- comment line works fine..then I stumbled on the /* - */ does not work.
Thanks.
Well, you have two different version of SQL Server installed on your machine. Please connect again from SSMS to the SQL Server 2014.

Setting the sql statement

http://www.egbolig.dk/drift_bo_syd.rpt (HERE IS THE REPORT)
We are using SAP Crystal Report .NET Runtime files (http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824 newest version 13.0.9.1312) in our web asp.net application. Everything have been working fine, but we have can into problems when showing the certain kinda reports.
In our code get the reports sql statement using getSQLStatement.
Dim gp As New GroupPath() Dim sql As String = report.ReportClientDocument.RowsetController.GetSQLStatement(gp)
This will get the sql, and we use this sql (getSqlStatement) and attach a sql WHERE clause from the code to only get a certain number of records.
The report Drift_bo_syd.rpt has 5 tables, and the following sql statement.
Database/Show Sql Statement
SELECT "rekvstam"."Sel", "rekvstam"."Afd", "rekvstam"."Levadresse", "rekvstam"."Rekvisition", "rekvstam"."Lejemaal", "rekvstam"."Lejer", "rekvstam"."Udfoertaf", "rekvstam"."Udfoertdato", "rekvstam"."Krit", "Selskab"."Adresse", "Selskab"."Postby", "Selskab"."Tlf", "Selskab"."Fax", "rekvstam"."Kontor", "rekvstam"."Hjemme", "rekvstam"."Rekvdato", "rekvstam"."Aftale", "rekvstam"."InitialRet", "rekvstam"."Arbejde", "kreditor"."Att", "rekvstam"."Konto", "Selskab"."Navn", "Selskab"."Email", "Interessentadresse"."Navn", "Interessentadresse"."Adresse", "Interessentadresse"."Postby", "Interessentadresse"."Email1", "Interessentadresse"."Telefon_Fax", "Interessentadresse"."Type", "Interessentadresse"."Tlf1", "rekvstam"."tlfLejer", "kreditor"."Kred", "Interessentadresse"."Interessentnr" FROM (("Rekvstam" "rekvstam" INNER JOIN "Selskab" "Selskab" ON "rekvstam"."Sel"="Selskab"."Sel") LEFT OUTER JOIN "Kreditor" "kreditor" ON "rekvstam"."Kred"="kreditor"."Kred") INNER JOIN "Interessentadresse" "Interessentadresse" ON "kreditor"."Interessentnr"="Interessentadresse"."Interessentnr" WHERE "Interessentadresse"."Type"='K'
But if we run the report from our asp.net code, we get the following error:
Cannot determine the queries necessary to get data for this report. Failed to retrieve data from the database. Error in File Drift_Bo_Syd {97FED382-1BAC-4DB1-970F-9E098ECE28F1}.rpt: Failed to retrieve data from the database.
After a long time searching for a solution, we found out that if we place the column kred from the kreditor table on the report, the report will work. (field explorer / database fields / kreditor (table) / kred (column)
Very important is that the field "kreditor.kred" is a primary key of the table kreditor, and also used in the linking.!
(We can get the report to work if we call the sql statement with the "kreditor"."kred" in the SELECT statement.
SELECT "kreditor"."kred", "rekvstam"."Sel", "rekvstam"."Afd", "rekvstam"."Levadresse", "rekvstam"."Rekvisition", "rekvstam"."Lejemaal", "rekvstam"."Lejer", "rekvstam"."Udfoertaf", "rekvstam"."Udfoertdato", "rekvstam"."Krit", "Selskab"."Adresse", "Selskab"."Postby", "Selskab"."Tlf", "Selskab"."Fax", "rekvstam"."Kontor", "rekvstam"."Hjemme", "rekvstam"."Rekvdato", "rekvstam"."Aftale", "rekvstam"."InitialRet", "rekvstam"."Arbejde", "kreditor"."Att", "rekvstam"."Konto", "Selskab"."Navn", "Selskab"."Email", "Interessentadresse"."Navn", "Interessentadresse"."Adresse", "Interessentadresse"."Postby", "Interessentadresse"."Email1", "Interessentadresse"."Telefon_Fax", "Interessentadresse"."Type", "Interessentadresse"."Tlf1", "rekvstam"."tlfLejer", "kreditor"."Kred", "Interessentadresse"."Interessentnr" FROM (("Rekvstam" "rekvstam" INNER JOIN "Selskab" "Selskab" ON "rekvstam"."Sel"="Selskab"."Sel") LEFT OUTER JOIN "Kreditor" "kreditor" ON "rekvstam"."Kred"="kreditor"."Kred") INNER JOIN "Interessentadresse" "Interessentadresse" ON "kreditor"."Interessentnr"="Interessentadresse"."Interessentnr" WHERE "Interessentadresse"."Type"='K'
But it should not be necessary to include this field (which is the primary key and used in linking the report) in the sql statement,
BECAUSE it is not used in the report. So maybe this is a bug?
It has not been necessary in RDC Crystal Report or RAS Crystal Report in a classic asp envoriment.
Here is the code we use to set the reports SQL Statement)
Try
Dim conn As New SqlConnection(connString)
conn.Open()
Dim sd As New SqlDataAdapter(New SqlCommand(nySQL, conn))
Dim ds As New Data.DataSet()
Dim navn As String = report.Database.Tables.Item(0).Name
sd.Fill(ds, navn)
report.SetDataSource(ds)
conn.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
Throw
End Try

Hi Jan
I understand your problem completely but we have asked R&D to be able to edit the SQL and they explained due to how the report Engine works it's simply not possible anymore. It would take a complete rewrite in all of our DB drivers and query dll's to be able to allow it. They did that in CR 9 when they rewrote the DB drivers and removed the SQL part of the code into separate dll's and that is when the ability was removed, it's been that way ever since.
One possibility is to get the SQL from the Report and then connect to your DB using a .NET and if the results from the SQL is less than 5K rows and not too many columns you could then set the Report data source to a Dataset.
As long as all of the field names are the same CR will run the report using this work flow.
For data larger than 5K rows, limit is due to memory resources, you could save the DS to an XML file and then set the reports data source to the XML file. We've seen 100meg XML's used so the amount of data should not be a problem, but of course there are limits to everything so test...
This should not affect performance much.
So the work flow would be:
Load the report
Get the SQL Statement
Paste it into a Dataset Query
Something like this should get you started:
//string connString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=MySQLServer;Database=xtreme;User ID=sa;Password=pw";
string connString = "Provider=SQLNCLI10;Server=MySQLServer;Database=xtreme;User ID=sa;Password=pw";
Detail"".""Quantity"" FROM   ""xtreme"".""dbo"".""Orders Detail"" ""Orders Detail""";
string sqlString = @"SELECT top 10* FROM ""xtreme"".""dbo"".""Financials"" ""Financials""";
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection oleConn = new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(connString);
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand cmd = oleConn.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandText = sqlString;
System.Data.DataSet ds = new System.Data.DataSet();
OleDbDataAdapter oleAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(sqlString, oleConn);
//OleDbDataAdapter oleAdapter2 = new OleDbDataAdapter(sqlString2, oleConn);
DataTable dt1 = new DataTable("Financials");
//DataTable dt2 = new DataTable("Orders Detail");
oleAdapter.Fill(dt1);
//oleAdapter2.Fill(dt2);
ds.Tables.Add(dt1);
//ds.Tables.Add(dt2);
ds.WriteXml("c:\\reports\\sc2.xml", XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema);
// as long as the field names match exactly Cr has no problems setting report to a DS.
try
    rpt.SetDataSource(ds.Tables[0]); // incremtent [0] for more than 1 table.
    rpt.SetDataSource(ds);
catch (Exception ex)
    MessageBox.Show("ERROR: Schema Mismatch. Error reported by CR: " + ex.Message);
//Now check for subreport and set to same DS
foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section section in rpt.ReportDefinition.Sections)
    foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportObject reportObject in section.ReportObjects)
        if (reportObject.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
            CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.SubreportObject subReport = (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.SubreportObject)reportObject;
            CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument subDocument = subReport.OpenSubreport(subReport.SubreportName);
            subDocument.SetDataSource(ds);
And for XML it would use this part, not above I am saving the data and structure in the XML file so it should match what is in the report:
foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table rptTable in rpt.Database.Tables)
    try
        rptTable.Location = btrDataFile.ToString(); // @"D:\Atest\" + rptTable.Location + ".xml";
    catch (Exception ex)
        MessageBox.Show("ERROR: " + ex.Message);
Only issue you may run into is sometimes XML does not have a direct field type and your original data source but you'll get an error if that happens which could be trapped and handled.
If you have a report that only uses 2 tables I do have code that will convert it to use a Command Object. That is the limit the engine is capable of, there is a lot of logic to be able to do this in CRD and the SDK so that is all we could get for now.
I hope that helps

How to put the SQL-statement returned value into the field (as a default)

Hi,
I am using Developer/2000 (Forms Designer) under windows 98.
Please tell me how to put the SQL-statement value (as a default value) into the field before enter-query mode. Noted that I have tried the following ways but still some problems:-
1) Place the SQL-statement into PRE_QUERY trigger in the form/block level.
There is a message box which ask 'Do you want to save the changes?'.
2) Place the SQL-statement before execute enter_query. There is still a
message box which ask 'Do you want to save the changes?'.
Any hints? Thanks. Urgent.

solved it!
1) Suppress DEFAULT save message
if form_failure then
raise form_trigger_failure;
end if;
2) Place the default value before enter-query.
Ref: Title='Default value in query field in ENTER_QUERY mode' in designer forum by CVZ
form level trigger
============
WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE
=======================
if :system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' then
:block.item := 'default waarde';
end if;
3) Suppress the changes whenever leaving the default field.
if :block.item is null then
-- assign statement
end if;

How to isolate the Sql Statement from Java Code

Hi
I Need to know that can we segregate the Sql Statements and convert them to Stored Procedures so as to isolate the Sql statements from Java Code.
So i have one static web page which uses four select Statements so what i want is to create a stored procedure encapsulating these queries. So that the Java Web Developer will simply call the Stored Procedure instead of using four different SQL Statements.
Suppose the developer has these four Statements
Select ename,empno,sal,job from emp;
select empno,ename,mgr from emp;
select deptno,dname from dept;
select emp.ename,emp.empno,emp.deptno,dept,dname fromemp,dept;
So can i encapsulate these four Sql Statements in one Procedure and the Web developer can call the Store procedure and dont need to write the Sql Statements in his code.
Can Anybody guide me how to write this Stored type of Store procedure.
Thanks

How do i see the sql statements that are run ?

i want to see (in a log file) what are the sql statements that oracle had ran.
how do i do it ? what configurations should i do ? how ?
please help ... thanks

Current SQL statements are viewed in dynamic tables:
SELECT SCHEMANAME, SQL_ADDRESS, SQL_TEXT, last_call_et
FROM V$SESSION, V$SQLAREA
WHERE V$SESSION.SQL_ADDRESS=V$SQLAREA.ADDRESS
A historical log of all SQL statements is recorded in Oracle Archived Logs, and can be viewed using the Oracle Logminer approach. This process requires your database to be in ARCHIVELOG mode, and that Logminer be configured to read the archived logs.

Make your own.
Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
int year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int month = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
int day = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
//use calendar object to get other infos such as time of query
//append your query string
File f =new File ("c:\\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.4\\webapps\\ASD\\LOGS\\log" + df.format(day) + df.format(month) + year + ".txt");

Find all the sql statements that are executed in a database

Hi
I would like to get all the sql statements that have been executed till now on the database. Also, i need the session and user details who has executed the statement.
I know this can be done after enabling auditing.
I would like to get the details without enabling the auditing option.
I am using oracle 9i and oracle 10g.

You can use {noformat}{noformat} tags to preserve the SQL format. Below is an example of how to use it.
<place your code here>\When your do that your code may look like this.select
 substr(sid || ',' || serial#,0,15) sid,
 USERNAME,
 PROGRAM,
 MACHINE,
 OSUSER,
 TERMINAL,
 sql_text Query
from
 v$sqltext,
 v$session
where
 address=sql_address
 and hash_value=sql_hash_value
 and status='ACTIVE'
order by LOGON_TIME,sid,piece
This one is more readable to everyone.
