Using prompts with SQL query

Post Author: wleonetti
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hello!
I have acquired a report from our regional headquarters, and have been asked locally to add a prompt to one that already exists in the report.
The report currently uses an SQL query, which in turn uses a single prompt to limit the data reported. However, the name of the parameter in the Field Explorer in Parameter Fields is "Facility", but, when I use the Database Expert and select edit for the query (under Selected Tables, right-click on "Command" under the database and click on "Edit Command"--is Command a default name?), under the Parameter List, the name of the parameter there is "Facility1" (?). The SQL references the parameter "Facility1" (...like '{?Facility1}'), but I cannot find any link/interface between the Parameter List "Facility1" to the Parameter Field "Facility", and I cannot find any other references to "Facility1" anywhere else in the report (sorry, I'm very new at CR, and am not sure how to do a global search of a desired text string in the reports).
I have asked the author for an explanation, but he would only offer, after indicating that he ... was not obligated to help me in any way .., the following bone: "I just simply rename the parameter in Command from Facility1 to Facility which bears the same name as the parameter interface and it just works fine." This only served to confuse me more, since the parameter name currently in Command is "Facility1" (and the report works the way it is)--when I change the name of the parameter in Parameter List (and the parameter name in the SQL query) to "Facility" (to match the Parameter Field's "Facility"?) ... the parameter in the Parameter Fields ... disappears?
Can someone please instruct me how to, in whatever steps are necessary, add a parameter to the Parameter Fields and edit the SQL code to use that parameter? or point me to some documentation that will help me with this?
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Hi Eric,
Try expressing the source as this:
begin
return functionname(to_date('30-sep-2010', 'dd-mon-yyyy'));
end;That works fine for me, and if I take out the begin-end and the trailing semicolon from the return statement I get the same behavior as you.
It does mention in the help for the source (only during the wizard though) that this source type has to be expressed that way, but I agree it would be helpful if the tool would validate for this format when 'Function Returning SQL Query' is used or give some sort of indication of the trouble. Anyway, this should get you going again.
Hope this helps,
John

Report region with sql query

Hi
I have a report region with sql query. There are two regions in page. On top of page, user enters data and after that second region show enterd data which is report region
based on sql query.
Now,when this page is opned, as user had not entered any thing, report region shows "no data found" message. Is it possible to remove that message or
may i conditionally disaply report region i.e if data is inserted then only report region is dispalyed.
Thanks

i was trying with select count(1) in expression.

Just for your info, COUNT() (without any grouping obviously) with always return 1 row. If there are no result for the query then 1 row will be returned with a value of zero - so there are results returned.
Secondly, why were you using COUNT(1) rather than COUNT(*)? That is is faster is a very common misconception and not true. If you need to know how many rows have been returned, use COUNT(*). If you need to take nulls into account (ie. not include them in your count) then use COUNT(column_name) and name the column that you are interested in specifically.

Use a manual SQL query in an interface

Hello,
I would like to know if I can use a manual SQL query in an interface.
Here is what I need.
I have two tables.
T1 with 4 fields :
idT1, LibC, val, lib_val
An example of a line from T1
1, field1, 33 , value 33
2, field2, 44 , value 44
And table T2 with fields such as:
idT2, ... , field1, field2
There is no key to join T1 and T1, but I should retrieve the value of field lin_val from T2 which corresponds to the value of field1.
In SQL, the query looks like this:
SELECT t2.lib_val
FROM t2 , t1
WHERE T2.LibC = "Column_name"
AND T2.val = T1.Column_name
AND t1.idT1 = xyz

You should go for yellow interface.It will solve your problem. Here you go

Datasource works with java code but not with sql:query dataSource=...

Hello everyone! I have a small problem with binding a DataSource object via JNDI and retrieving it in a web application. This is the case:
I did not wish to make the DataSource available through the server.xml, because I want to create applications that can be bundled in a simple .war file. So I create the DataSource when the context is created in the contextInitialized() method of ServletContextListener like this:
InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.setProperty( "driverClassName", "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" );
properties.setProperty( "factory", "org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory" );
properties.setProperty( "username", servletContext.getInitParameter( "dbUser" ) );
properties.setProperty( "password", servletContext.getInitParameter( "dbPass" ) );
properties.setProperty( "url", servletContext.getInitParameter( "dbUrl" ) );
properties.setProperty( "defaultAutoCommit", "false" );
properties.setProperty( "maxActive", "25" );
properties.setProperty( "initialSize", "15" );
properties.setProperty( "maxIdle", "10" );
properties.setProperty( "testOnBorrow", "true" );
properties.setProperty( "testOnReturn", "true" );
properties.setProperty( "testWhileIdle", "true" );
properties.setProperty( "validationQuery", "SELECT 1" );
properties.setProperty( "removeAbandoned", "true" );
DataSource dataSource = BasicDataSourceFactory.createDataSource( properties );
initialContext.rebind( "daers", dataSource );Please comment if you think this is a bad idea!
All the above seems to work fine. When I try to retrieve the DataSource in a .jsp file then it all works fine like this:
<% try {
 javax.naming.InitialContext initialContext = new javax.naming.InitialContext();
 java.sql.Connection conn = ( ( javax.sql.DataSource )initialContext.lookup( "daers" )).getConnection();
 java.sql.Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
 java.sql.ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT users.name FROM users;");
 while (resultSet.next()) {
 System.out.println(resultSet.getString(1));
 } catch ( java.sql.SQLException e ) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 } catch ( javax.naming.NamingException e ) {
 e.printStackTrace();
%>But when I try to execute the same sql query through the appropriate JSTL taglib I get a:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Unable to get connection, DataSource invalid: "java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver"The JSTL code I use is this:
<sql:query dataSource = "daers" var = "query" scope = "page">
 SELECT users.name
 FROM users
 </sql:query>I do put both of the two above pieces of code in the same .jsp page and the first works but the second causes the exception...
Any clues..?
Is it illegal to lookup a DataSource in <sql: dataSource=...> if the DataSource is not registered in the server.xml file..?
If so, do I have any alternatives (like putting the DataSource as a servlet context variable)..?

Problem with SQL query pulling info out of a collection

Here's my issue, I use a PL/SQL query to pull info from an XML file and put it in a collection. I then query the collection with a SQL statement to pull the info from the collection and put it into a table. I can see that the collection is being created properly, but then my SQL query is failing to pull the info out of the collection. Here's my PL/SQL query:
declare
l_clob clob;
l_buffer varchar2(32767);
l_url varchar2(4000);
l_http_req utl_http.req;
l_http_resp utl_http.resp;
begin
utl_http.set_proxy(apex_application.g_proxy_server, NULL);
l_url := 'http://www.jobster.com/partnerfeeds/Servinity/Servinity.xml';
l_http_req := utl_http.begin_request(l_url);
l_http_resp := utl_http.get_response(l_http_req);
dbms_lob.createtemporary( l_clob, FALSE );
dbms_lob.open( l_clob, dbms_lob.lob_readwrite );
begin
loop
utl_http.read_text(l_http_resp, l_buffer);
dbms_lob.writeappend( l_clob, length(l_buffer), l_buffer );
end loop;
exception
when others then
if sqlcode <> -29266 then
raise;
end if;
end;
utl_http.end_response(l_http_resp);
apex_collection.create_or_truncate_collection('JOB_RESPONSE');
apex_collection.add_member(
p_collection_name => 'JOB_RESPONSE',
p_clob001 => l_clob );
end;
This part works fine because I can check the collection and see the info was put there properly. Here's the XML file (part of it at least):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<job-list xmlns="http://jobster.com/feed/1.3">
<site>
<name>Jobster</name>
<url>http://www.jobster.com</url>
</site>
<job>
<id>58117925</id>
<key>51253677</key>
<featurelevel>1</featurelevel>
<title>
And here's the SQL query which isn't pulling anything back:
select extractValue(value(t),'/*/name') "Name",
extractValue(value(t),'/*/url') "URL"
from apex_collections c,
table(xmlsequence(extract(xmltype.createxml(c.clob001),'/job-list/site'))) t
where c.collection_name = 'JOB_RESPONSE'
What am I missing? Thanks in advance!

my mistake 
take a look to the examples can be very helpful...sometimes 
 
select anz,rueck 
 
from (select (case when exists(select ek_id

Problem with SQL Query Action

Hi,
I have a problem in using transactions with SQL Querys.
I developed a TA based an SQL Querys against a MS SQL Server by using the jtds driver.
After execution of the sql query I iterate through the result data by using the repeater action on the xMII XML results of the query. Using the jtds driver all table and field names are in lower case letters.
Now I changed the data server to test it with oracle to an oracle database by using the oracle jdbc driver. The database and tables on both Oracle and MS are created with the same sql script.
The oracle driver returns table and field names in only capital letters. So the created transaction can not be used. Because it for example accesses the node "type" in the XML structure which is fine for jtds. But when oracle is used, the node has the name "TYPE", so the TA tries to use node type but there is only node TYPE that causes the TA to run into an error.
Anyone has an idea how to avoid / solve this problem?
Regards
Timo

That's exactly what I used as solution now.
Instead of doing
"select fieldname from tablename"
I do now
"select fieldname as "fieldname" from tablename"
So both in Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server the returned field names of the query are in lower case letters.
Thank you for your help.
Regards Timo

Need help with SQL Query with Inline View + Group by

Hello Gurus,
I would really appreciate your time and effort regarding this query. I have the following data set.

4653456----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------paid for cleaning------------------------35654765--------------------I---------------------30.00-------------19
Please Ignore '----', added it for clarity
I am trying to write a query to aggregate paid_amount based on Reference_No, Check_Number, Payment_Date, Invoice_Number, Invoice_Type, Vendor_Number and display description with Invoice_type 'I' when there are multiple records with the same Reference_No, Check_Number, Payment_Date, Invoice_Number, Invoice_Type, Vendor_Number. When there are no multiple records I want to display the respective Description.
The query should return the following data set
Reference_No---Check_Number---Check_Date--------Description-------------------------------Invoice_Number----------Invoice_Type---Paid_Amount-----Vendor_Number
1234567----------11223-------------- 7/5/2008----------paid for cleaning----------------------44345563------------------I-----------------*10.00*------------19

4653456----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------paid for cleaning------------------------35654765-------------------I---------------------30.00--------------19
The following is my query. I am kind of lost.
select B.Description, A.sequence_id,A.check_date, A.check_number, A.invoice_number, A.amount, A.vendor_number
from (
select sequence_id,check_date, check_number, invoice_number, sum(paid_amount) amount, vendor_number
from INVOICE
group by sequence_id,check_date, check_number, invoice_number, vendor_number
) A, INVOICE B
where A.sequence_id = B.sequence_id

Using 'Function Returning SQL Query' with Flash charts

I have created a pl/sql function that returns a SQL query as a varchar2 of this form:
select null link
<x value> value
<Series1 y value> Series 1 Label
<Series2 y value> Series 2 Label
<Series3 y value> Series 3 Label
from tablea a
join tableb b
on a.col = b.col
order by <x value>
If I now call the function from a Flash Chart Series SQL box with the Query Source Type set to 'Function Returning SQL Query' like this:
return functionname(to_date('30-sep-2010', 'dd-mon-yyyy'))
it parses correctly and the page is saved; however, when I run the page I don't get any output - nor any error messages or other indication of a problem.
Now, if I call the function in a SQL client, capture the SQL query output using dbms_output and paste that into the Flash Chart Series SQL box - changing the Query Source Type to SQL Query - and save the page it works fine when I run it and returns a multi-series flash chart.
Can anyone suggest either;
1. What have I might have missed or done wrong?
2. Any way to usefully diagnose the problem...
I have tried using the Apex debugger - which is very nice, by the way - but it doesn't provide any info on what my problem might be. I even tried writing my own debug messages from my function using the apex_debug_message package - got nothing...
Thanks,
Eric

Error using Database addons with SQL query.

I get a LabVIEW error when I provide the following SQL query to the NI database VI: ..vi.lib\addons\database\Connection.llb\Conn Execute.vi.
declare @SR_ID table ( script_result_id uniqueidentifier )
insert into @SR_ID
select script_result_id from SCRIPT_RESULT
where script_result.software_name = '%s'
SELECT distinct STEP_RESULT.STEP_TYPE
FROM STEP_RESULT INNER JOIN @SR_ID s ON
STEP_RESULT.SCRIPT_RESULT_ID = s.script_result_id
The error is:
Error -2146824584 occurred at NI_Database_API.lvlib:Rec Destroy - Connection.vi->Database_Query Database with flattened string reply.vi->ADUTS-RPT Query DB.vi->ADUTS-RPT Get Step Names.vi->ADUTS-RPT Top.vi
Possible Reason(s): Exception occured in ADODB.Recordset: Operation is not allowed when the object is closed.
The query works fine when given directly to my SQL server.
Any ideas on this problem would be most appreciated.

It looks like the bug is related to ADODB objects. I found a related KnowledgeBase article that was written about the same issue, but never published for some reason. Here's what it has to say about your error:
"This error occurs when a query is run on the database that does not return any recordset data, such as a delete command. In this case, when you encounter the DB Tools Fetch Recordset Data VI, the state of the recordset is "closed" and produces the error.
To avoid the error, you can check for the state of the recordset and make sure that it isn't closed. To do this, use the DB Tools Get Properties VI and check the state from the properties cluster. An additional, or alternate, check would be to check for the beginning of file and end of file properties. If both BOF and EOF are both true, there is no data in the recordset.
If you open the example program, Database Fetching, you can see that they are using both of these checks.
In versions of the toolset prior to version 1.0.2, these checks were built in. This causes code without the checks to return this error if the toolset is updated from a previous version."

Using Interactive Report with SQL query accessing tables via db link

Problem with SQL query region source containing OLAP clauses

Hi team,
I believe I found a bug when HTMLDB validates the SQL Query in a report region.
My query includes an ORDER BY clause within a windowing function and HTMLDB refuses to accept the source owing to the presence of the ORDER BY and the column heading sort preference.
Clearly the order-by in a window function has little to do with the column heading sort, but this error prevents me from updating the conditional display item in the page definition.
Note also that the page was imported smoothly from the 1.5 version, so probably the region source is not checked at that time, but only when you update it "manually".
So, in the end, if I don't change anything the page works because the sql query is assumed to be correct but unfortunately I need to change the condition and I cannot.
The problem shows up in page 126 of app 21670, SQL query region.
Bye,
Flavio
PS: may be I can work around this by using the pl/sql function returning the sql query.

Flavio,
We're aware of this problem. For now, your workaround is described in this thread:

Help with sql query the status of A/P Reserve Invoice

Hi,
I am trying to write a query which lists all A/P Reserve Invoice info with OPEN status.
I check the OPCH table and cannot find the rule to tell the status.
The "DocStatus" field has two values only: 'O' for open and 'C' for closed.
However, the status of A/P Reserve Invoice are OPEN, CLOSED, DELIVERED, PAID, etc.
I try to use DocStatus field to filter, but the result does not match what I see in SAP.
Could you please give me some hints about how to get the data I need? Thank you.
Best regards,
Sylvia
Edited by: csylvia on Jun 23, 2011 5:54 AM

Hi Darius,
Thanks for your reply.
However, I don't know what is the relationship between Purchase order and A/P Reserve Invoice.
Do you mean using "SELECT T0.DocEntry FROM OPCH T0, OPOR T1 WHERE T0.DocNum = T1.DocNum AND T1.DocStatus = 'O';" to query the A/P Reserve Invoice data with OPEN status?
But the result is not what I want.
The result of "*SELECT * FROM OPOR WHERE DocStatus = 'O';*" is also not.
I'd like to query A/P Reserve Invoice list with OPEN status, and I try the following sql query:
SELECT DocEntry FROM OPCH WHERE DocStatus = 'O' AND InvntSttus = 'O';
The result is close to what I need, but it's not exactly correct.
Moreover, I don't think the sql query conditions is accurate.
Please give me some advice. Thank you.
Best regards,
Sylvia

Issue with SQL Query with Presentation Variable as Data Source in BI Publisher

Hello All
I have an issue with creating BIP report based on OBIEE reports which is done using direct SQL. There is this one report in OBIEE dashboard, which is written using direct SQL. To create the pixel perfect version of this report, I am creating BIP data model using SQL Query as data source. The physical query that is used to create OBIEE report has several presentation variables in its where clause.

So I know it is the PV that's causing this error.
How can I work around it?
There is no way to create equivalent report without using the direct sql..
Thanks in advance

I have found a solution to this problem after some more investigation. PowerQuery does not support to use SQL statement as source for Teradata (possibly same for other sources as well). This is "by design" according to Microsoft. Hence the problem
is not because different PowerQuery versions as mentioned above. When designing the query in PowerQuery in Excel make sure to use the interface/navigation to create the query/select tables and NOT a SQL statement. The SQL statement as source works fine on
a client machine but not when scheduling it in Power BI in the cloud. I would like to see that the functionality within PowerQuery and Excel should be the same as in Power BI in the cloud. And at least when there is a difference it would be nice with documentation
or more descriptive errors.

Using Parameters in SQL-Query not only in where clauses

Hi,
I try to use Publisher parameters in the SQL Query from a Data Set.
All of them have default values.
So far, this is no problem, unless I try to use such a parameter value as an ordinary attribute value:
>
select
 case when (:pv_Group = 'no') then "DM15D_BETRIEBSTEIL"."BETR_TEIL"
 else :pv_some_Text end as Betr_Teil,
 case when (:pv_Group = 'no') then "DM15D_BETRIEBSTEIL"."SUVA_NR_FORM"
 else :pv_some_Text end as Suva_Nr,
 case when (:pv_Group = 'no') then "DM15K_RIS_FAKTEN_PRO_BTT_JHR"."RIS_VOLLBESCH"
 else sum("DM15K_RIS_FAKTEN_PRO_BTT_JHR"."RIS_VOLLBESCH") end as Vollbesch
from "GDWH05"
where
 "DM15D_BETRIEBSTEIL"."SUVA_NR_FORM" in (:pv_nim100)
 fetch first 65001 rows ONLY
>
The parameters 'pv_Group' and 'pv_nim100' are working fine. (when or where clauses)
The parameter 'pv_some_Text' unfortunately not. (simple literals)
When I try to validate the above SQL, I get the following Error:

java.io.IOException: prepare query failed[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 46033] Datatype: 25 is not supported.

After use a cast function:
>
else CAST(:pv_some_Text AS CHARACTER)
>
I get this ERROR:

java.io.IOException: prepare query failed[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 19002] Incorrect use of parameters. The parameters used in CAST cannot be resolved without ambiguity.

We use OBIEE 11.1.1.6.4 on a Win64-System.
Thank's for any help.

Hi Alex,
let's leave away any unnecessary details.
This is the SQL, inserted in the window 'Edit Data Set' of BIP Data Model:
>
select
 '--1' as Betr_Teil,
 '--2' as Suva_Nr,
 sum("GDWH05"."DM15K_RIS_FAKTEN_PRO_BTT_JHR"."RIS_VOLLBESCH") as Vollbesch
from "GDWH05"
where
 "DM15D_BETRIEBSTEIL"."SUVA_NR_FORM" in ('122-4.4')
 fetch first 65001 rows ONLY
>
Everything is fine when I click OK, the script goes back to the metadata.
Let's try this script with bind values in ORACLE SQL Developer.
This SQL is the physical part, found in the OBIEE-Log (Log level 5), except the bind values. Therefore we find, in the where clause, the join. In the logical sql, we don't have to join, because it's handled in the Common Enterprise Information Model (CEIM)

with
sawith0 as
select
sum(t39617.ris_vollbesch) as c1
from
dm15d_betriebsteil t39455,
dm15k_ris_fakten_pro_btt_jhr t39617
where
t39455.id_betriebsteil = t39617.id_betriebsteil
and t39455.suva_nr_form = '122-4.4'
select
d1.c1 as c1,
d1.c2 as c2,
d1.c3 as c3
from
select
:pv_some_text as c1,
:pv_some_text as c2,
sum(d1.c1) as c3
from
sawith0 d1
d1
where
rownum <= 65001

This SQL works fine, even with bind values for 'pv_some_text'.
But, when using the following SQL in the BIP Data Model:
>
select
 :pv_Text as Betr_Teil,
 :pv_Text as Suva_Nr,
 sum("GDWH05"."DM15K_RIS_FAKTEN_PRO_BTT_JHR"."RIS_VOLLBESCH") as Vollbesch
from "GDWH05"
where
 "DM15D_BETRIEBSTEIL"."SUVA_NR_FORM" in ('122-4.4')
 fetch first 65001 rows ONLY
>
The following ERROR occurs:
java.io.IOException: prepare query failed[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 46008] Internal error: File server\Query\Optimizer\ServiceInterfaceMgr\Utility\Src\SQOIUTypeVisitor.cpp, line 643.
In my opinion, either I use a wrong syntax, or BIP has a problem with parsing the script.
Thank you for your most welcome help.
