Using SQL Query Values as Report Parameters

Why can I not use a page item to pass a value to a report when that page item is populated by a SQL query? If the item is populated as a database item, it can be passed, but not otherwise. Is there a way to work around this problem so that I can pass parameters to a report?

Hi, Jeff
Thanks for asking about this problem. This issue involves two tables mainly and others peripherally. I have a person table with borrower names and addresses, and each record in this table has an identifier in a column called IDENT. There is also a loan table with essential data on the loan, e.g.., loan identifier (DKTNR), the amount, interest rate, maturity date, etc., and also the IDENT linking to the person table. The borrower can be identified from any table that has the DKTNR in it by querying the borrower's name from the person table via the IDENT in the loan table. E.g., select borrower's name from loan_table, person_table where loan_table.ident = person_table.ident and the dktnr here equals the dktnr in the loan table.
I put the borrower's name on each APEX page using this query. I have one table, for example, which stores default accountings (i.e., accountings on loans that have defaulted and, generally, on which the lender has had to expend money to maintain the loan's maritine collateral). The records in this table are identified by the DKTNR. So on the reports page which shows this accounting, there is a non-database_column field (page item) populated via this query. If I want to use the value of this page item on an Oracle report that can be printed, I cannot do so. I place it into a variable (I forgot the name of the variable type, but it is the &PX_ITEM_NAME. type) in the URL which calls the report, but it will not be placed in the report. It is as if I have put a null value into the variable.
Ideas?

Thanx in advanceArrggh. I wish people wouldn't just answer a question without taking the time to actually think about what the user is asking for and if it makes sense. I like Diney's response best: Why not use the Title View? (i.e., asking questions until it is clear what is needed.) So along those lines, why are you trying to put the name of your report in a column of your report?? And why do you need to use direct sql to do this??
Kindly or not, urgent or not, state what you are trying to achieve and why you need it (if the obvious answer like "using the Title View" doesn't work for you), instead of simply assuming your method is right and you need to know how to do what envision. Your method may not be correct or necessary.

Retreving Hexadecimal Values from a table using SQL query.

Hi,
I'm looking for a query to retreive Hexadecimal values contained in a column using SQL query.
The column contains the values of all types, alphanumeric, numeric and hexadecimal.
I need to retreive only hexadecimal values.
any help to me in this regard will be appreciated.
Thanks

Presumably, you can be sure that any valid hex value is indeed MEANT to BE a hex value. For example the value 'ACE' is meant to be a hexadecimal value and not the word.

ReportViewer using SQL Query error states: Incorrect syntax near ','.

Hello Community
    Using Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008 I created a Windows Application
that uses SQL Server Reporting Services. The application uses ReportViewer and
calls a method written using SQL query.
            1-First I created the form.
            2-Next I dragged the ReportViewer (Toolbox) and Table (from DataSource) onto the form.
The problem is that when it reaches the last line of the SQL query (ie, da.Fill(ds, "TableOne");)
the code fails stating the error message:
            "Incorrect syntax near ','."
     The following is the code behind the form containing the query:
        private void ReportPgm1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
            // TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'ReportDBDataSet.TableOne' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
            this.TableOneTableAdapter.Fill(this.ReportDBDataSet.TableOne);
            reportViewer1.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Local;
            LocalReport ReportOneLocalReport = reportViewer1.LocalReport;
            DataSet ds = new DataSet("ReportDBDataSet.TableOne");
            pgmReportOne(FromDate, ToDate,   ds);
            ReportDataSource ds = new ReportDataSource("ReportDBDataSet.TableOne");
            ds.Value = dataset.Tables["TableOne"];
            ReportOneLocalReport.DataSources.Clear();
            ReportOneLocalReport.DataSources.Add(ds);
            this.reportViewer1.RefreshReport();
        private void pgmReportOne(DateTime FromDate, DateTime ToDate, DataSet ds)
            SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("Data Source=ReportDBServer;Initial Catalog=ReportDB;Uid=sa;pwd=Password");
            string sqlReportOne = "Select ([InDate], [FirstName], [LastName], [AGe]" +
                               "from TableOne";
            SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(sqlReportONe, connection);
            command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("paramFDate", FromDate));
            command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("paramTDate", ToDate));
            SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(command);
            da.Fill(ds, "TableOne");
    Why does the last line throw an error?
    Thank you

--NOTE: The statement below cannot be run on SQL Server 2012
--If you have an earlier version and can set the compatibility
--level to 80, it can be run.
SELECT sso.SpecialOfferID, Description, DiscountPct, ProductID

Hi Scott
The *= is old syntax and not compatible with SQL Server 2012 (as stated in the comments).
You could do something like this instead
SELECT sso.SpecialOfferID
,Description
,DiscountPct
,ProductID
FROM Sales.SpecialOffer sso
left outer join Sales.SpecialOfferProduct ssop on sso.SpecialOfferID = ssop.SpecialOfferID
WHERE sso.SpecialOfferID != 1

Help Required -- Can we use SQL Query to READ data from SAP MDM Tables

Hi All,
Please help.........
Can we use SQL Query to READ(No Creation/Updation/Deletion just Read) Data from SAP MDM tables directly, without using MDM Syndicator.
Or direct SQL access to SAP MDM tables is not possible. Only through MDM Syndicator can we export data.
Thanks in Advance
Regards

All the tables you create in Repository comes under A2i_CM_Tables in Database named as your repository name. So the tables names are fields of table A2i_CM_Tables. Now i tried it but cant make it.
Now, I dont think its possible to extract all fields in tables and there values using select query. May be pure sql guy can do that or not.
But there is no relation of data extraction and syndicator. Data is viewed in Data Manager. and you can also store data in a file from DM also.

Hi,
Depends on datasource type but you could have a look at ODBC trace or if you have access to the SQL Server you could use profiler to monitor the session.

How to enable show SQL Query in Crystal report tool

Hi,
How can we enable the show SQL Query under Database tab in crystal report...
We have a requirement to modify the SQL query in Crystal reports.
Thanks,
Gana

Gana,
CR has an "Add Command" feature that will allow you to use hand-coded SQL as your data source.
Look at Defining an SQL Command in CR's online help (F1).
If a command was used in the original report creation, it's a simple matter to go in and edit that SQL.
If the report was not originally built w/ a Command you may find it difficult to switch over. In most cases it easier to start over from scratch, creating a new, blank report, that uses the command.

How to numberformat when using sql:query alogn with c:forEach JSTL tags

Is there anyway to format the numeric values returned from the database when using <sql:query> alogn with <c:forEach> tags
Here is my jsp code
<sql:query..../>
<c:forEach var="row" items="${queryResults.rows}">
<tr>
<td><c:out value="${row.COL1}" /></td>
<td><c:out value="${row.COL2}" /></td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
Col1 values are numeric without any formats Eg: 1000, 10000, 1000000 etc.
how can i format them to 1,000 , 10,1000 , 100,000 etc

It is polite to mention what your answer was. These posts are not just here for you to ask questions, but to be used as a resource for other people to find answers. Saying "I solved it" with no details helps noone.
I presume you discovered the JSTL <fmt:formatNumber> tag?

Modify SQL query in Crystal Reports 2013

Bonjour,
Je voulais savoir s'il était possible de modifier la requête SQL dans Crystal Reports 2013, car les bases de données de notre application pour bibliothèque utilise un format de date particulier qu'il nous faut corriger directement dans la requête SQL.
Merci pour vos informations.
Cordialement

Hello,
I wanted to know if it was possible to modify the SQL query in Crystal Reports 2013. Databases of our application library indeed use a particular date format that we need to fix directly into the SQL query.
Thank you for your information.
Best regards
Claude Marcilly

Hi Claude,
If you are creating reports using tables then go in Database menu and click on show SQL query, this will show the SQL generated by crystal reports. Now go in database expert and expend your connection and double click on Add Command and past the query which was generated by Crystal and try to modify the date format and click OK.
Now you need to redesign your reports based on Add command.
or
If your reports datasource is Add command you can directly go in add command and change it.

List of Project Permission in PS 2010 Using SQL query

Hi
Is there any way to get a list of Project permissions associated with user using sql query. If i go manually Project center --> select project plan --> project permission it would take lot of time to find out for each user
Regards

Before you continue (which you probably will overlook) - please understand that you should only be querying the REPORTING database and not the published database. A recommendation is to use a select statement statement to insert the tables into a table
int the reporting database, then query that table for your results/report.
The following page I believe has what you're looking for (Users with direct permissions- query below)
and more
http://pmpspecialists.com/Blog/2013/10/
