Using System Variables in a SQL Query

Hi!
I´m new to Oracle and SQL so i don´t know very much about it.
There is miy Problem:
Is there a way to Use the System Variable %USERNAME% in an SQL Query?
I tried .... where table.shorttag = '%USERNAME%' ;
but this doesnt work.
Is Oracle able to handle Systemvariables? Or is there another way to use the current Windows User in an SQL Query.
It is very Important to use the current Windows user and not the Oracle user.
Thank you,
Mfg

Are you looking for something like this ?
SQL> SELECT sys_context('USERENV', 'OS_USER') FROM dual;
SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','OS_USER
SAUBBANE\IBM
SQL> SELECT sys_context('USERENV', 'TERMINAL') FROM dual;
SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','TERMINA
SAUBBANEAlso you can look at the dbms_application_info package.

Error in using System Variable

Dear all,
I want to use System Variable 225 ( VAT percent (per VAT code) ) which is used in one of document i.e. "VAT Only Invoice".
When I used it in my Invoice document the following error occurs:
Printing Error : Invalid Variable number (RPT -6300)(Field:F_XXX) Variable 'XXX'
Please help me to use this System Variable in my Invoice.
Note: I have already read "How To Use the PLD Variables File in Release 2007 A" .pdf file.
can any one tell the meaning of folowing which is in the sheet "vars utilisation" of PLD_Vars_march2007 xls file
" it means that this variable can be used only under certain repetitive area exclusive numbers (109, 126, 132, 135, 139, 148, 149, 309, 316, 427, 502, 509, 686)
Regards,
Ghazanfar
Edited by: Ghazanfar Ahmed on Jun 18, 2009 12:16 PM

Hi,
It is a special variable available for the VAT summary part, not to be used in the rows but in a separate repetitive area.
To display the respective VAT rates in each row, create a database field instead: Tax Definition - Rate%. It will populate the VAT percentage for you.

Use realational operators in an SQL query??????

does any one knows how to use realational operators in an SQL query??????
i wud like to do something like
select decode(2<3,sysdate,sydate +1) from dual
but i know decode does not supports relational operators......
thanx and Regards
amyt

You can use a CASE statement which does support relational operators, or if you must use DECODE, then you can use something like:
SELECT DECODE(SIGN(2 - 3),-1,sysdate,sysdate - 1)
FROM dual;The SIGN function returns -1 if the expression is < 0, 1 if the expression is > 0 and 0 if the expression is 0. This works for numeric comparisions. You can use the GREATEST or LEAST functions in a similar fashion for character comparisions.

Thanks in advance

We never saw your procedure, but maybe you could wrap it in a function
SQL> create or replace procedure get_members(in_something IN number, out_members OUT sys_refcursor)
is
begin
open out_members for
    'select level member_id from dual connect by level <= :num' using in_something;
end get_members;
Procedure created.
SQL> create or replace type numbers as table of number;
Type created.

fetch member_cur bulk collect into members;
close member_cur;
return members;
end;

Declare, Set, and Use a variable in a SQL Developer Query

I come from the SQL Server world and am trying to do something very simple: Declare, set, and use a variable in a query. For example:
Declare @lastPeriod date;
Set @lastPeriod = (select max(payperiod) from table 1 where payperiod < current_date);
Select field 1,
Field2
From table2
Where payperiod = @lastPeriod
The variable is going to be used in more areas in the query which is why I am simply not using a Sub-query in the where clause. I appreciate any assistance.

This forum is for issues with the SQL Developer tool. You'd get more response in the SQL And PL/SQL forum.
That said, read up on bind variables and substitution variables.
Whenever you can you should use Bind variables (e.g. *:lastPeriod* ), as they increase performance. In sqldev, there's no need to declare as you will be prompted to enter them on execution (F9), but you do if you execute as script (F5) (e.g. VARIABLE lastPeriod VARCHAR2(30);).
Alternatively, Substitution variables (e.g. *&lastPeriod* ) will literally be substituted in your statement before the database parses it. In sqldev, there's no need to declare as you will be prompted to enter them on execution (either F9 or F5), but you can (DEF lastPeriod='TEST'; ).
Have fun,
K.

Using a URL parameter in SQL Query

Newbie question...
I have been developing a dashboard application, and I have been using input bind variables in the SQL. That all works fine.
What I would like to do is to have a user go to a page via a URL with paramaters like this:
http://atlas:7777/pls/apex/f?p=112:1:9191429456552868531:::::P1_ITM_CD_PASSED:JMINV
where P1_ITM_CD_PASSED is the parameter and JMINV is the value.
Then, I want the SQL to execute using that:
select *
from itm
where itm_cd = ': P1_ITM_CD_PASSED'
I tried testing this on a page. Set up a report region, but it appears that the paramater is not making it to the SQL. "No Records Found".
Is there a simple example out there that anyone knows of? Maybe I am missing an item, computation, process, etc. to be able to utilize the paramater?
Thanks in advance

varad
Thanks for the reply. I did try that, and same results. It seems that the parameter is not getting bound to the variable, or it's getting flushed after the page loads. Here is what debug shows me:
P1_TEST
0.08: show report
0.10: determine column headings
0.10: activate sort
0.10: parse query as: CUSTOM
*0.11: binding: ":P1_ITM_CD_PASSED"="P1_ITM_CD_PASSED" value=""*
0.11: print column headings
0.11: rows loop: 15 row(s)
no data found

Using IN keyword in an sql query in a view criteria

Hi,
I am using jdev 11.1.1.1.0 and defined an lov query/viewobject as
select a, b, c from myTable
I now need to predefine filtering for lov search functionality and need something like the following
select a, B, c from myTable where B in ('X','Y')
I could not find a way to do it (i.e. specify the use of IN Keyword) in the Create View Criteria dialog box. I tried to define OR, but is that the best way to redefine IN as i have a long list (the above is just an example)
(( ( (UPPER(B_FLAG) = UPPER('X') ) ) OR ( (UPPER(DISPLAY_FLAG) = UPPER('Y') ) ) ))

If you know how many variables are in your "in" You can just write this in the sql query of your VO:

How to pass a variable for a SQL query in OLEDB source?

Hi All,
I am new to SSIS and working on it past few days. Can anyone please help me getting through a scenario where I need to pass a variable in the SQL statement in OLEDB source connection. Please find below for the details.
eg:
1) I have a SQL table with the columns SerialNumber, Name, IsValid, FileName with multiple rows.
2) I have the file Name in a variable called Variable1.
3) I want to read the data from my SQL table filtering based on the FileName (Variable1) within a data flow task and pull that data to the destination table.
Question: In the data flow task, added source and destination DB connection with a script component in between to perform my validations. When trying to retrieve the data from source using the variable (i.e. SQL Query with variable), I am not able to add
the query as the SQL statement box is disabled. How to filter the data based on the variable in the source DB ?
Any help/suggestions would be of great help.
Thanks,
Sri

Just to add with Vaibhav comment .
SQL Command : SQL query either with SQL variable or any condition or simple Sql statement
Like ;
Select * from dimcustomer
SQL Command using Varible :
Sometimes we design our dynamic query in variable and directly use that variable name in oledb source.
If you Sql query needs a condition based on SSIS variable .
you can find a Example here :

BUG ? : ADF creating extra VO instance using bind variables in a LOV query

ADF 11.1.1.1.0
After "playing around" with bind variables Setting bind variables in view objects for LOV I've come across something strange that I've reproduce using the HR schema and tables Employees and Departments. Its a bit long but here goes :
Using the HR schema tables departments and employeesI'm trying to create a LOV (selectOneChoice) for the
employee department, the LOV having a bind variable that limits the values returned in this case returning only DepartmentId = 50
I've create a VO lovDepartment (not based on an EO) with the following query :
SELECT Departments.DEPARTMENT_ID,
       Departments.DEPARTMENT_NAME,
       Departments.MANAGER_ID,
       Departments.LOCATION_ID
FROM DEPARTMENTS Departments
where DEPARTMENT_ID = :pDeptIdA LOV has been defined on the DepartmentId attribute of the EmployeesView.
The lovDepartmentImpl overrides the executeQueryForCollection to set the bind variable value.
    @Override
    protected void executeQueryForCollection(Object object, Object[] object2,
                                             int i) {
        setNamedWhereClauseParam("pDeptId", "50");
        super.executeQueryForCollection(object, object2, i);
    }When using an ADF form to create a new employee the DepartmentId lov is empty.
Enabling SQL tracing shows the following :
[370] _LOCAL_VIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1_0 ViewRowSetImpl.doSetWhereClause(-1, pDeptId, null)
[371] _LOCAL_VIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1_0 ViewRowSetImpl.execute caused params to be "un"changed
[372] Column count: 4
[373] _LOCAL_VIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1_0 ViewRowSetImpl.doSetWhereClause(-1, pDeptId, null)
[374] _LOCAL_VIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1 ViewRowSetImpl.setNamedWhereClauseParam(pDeptId, 50)
[375] ViewObject: _LOCAL_VIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1 Created new QUERY statement
[376] _LOCAL_VIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1>#q computed SQLStmtBufLen: 235, actual=195, storing=225
[377] SELECT Departments.DEPARTMENT_ID,
       Departments.DEPARTMENT_NAME,
       Departments.MANAGER_ID,
       Departments.LOCATION_ID
FROM DEPARTMENTS Departments
where DEPARTMENT_ID = :pDeptId
[378] Bind params for ViewObject: _LOCAL_VIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1
[379] For RowSet : _LOCAL_VIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1_0
[380] Binding null of type 12 for "pDeptId"
[381] No Resource Bundle found but null value id:LOV_DepartmentId_LOVUIHints_NullValueId is defined in an ListBinding Definition.It would seem that 2 lovDepartment instances are used one at line 370 LOCALVIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1_0
and one at line 374 LOCALVIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1
The one at line 374 LOCALVIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1 gets the variable bound at line 374
however LOCALVIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1_0 gets a null value and would explain the empty LOV
Can anybody explain what is happening here ? (and how to use bind variables in LOV queries)
Regards
Paul

I've now tried all types of LOV from ChoiceList to Radio groupe by testing the application module - none of them work.....
Edited by: Paul (MITsa) on 14-Jul-2009 22:52

when you rinvoke executeQueryForCollection the bind variables are allready set and they exist in Object[] object2 method parameters.
in order to change them you need something like:
private void changeGenericBindVariable(Object[] params, String paramName, Object paramValue) {
for (int i = 0; i < params.length; i++) {
if (paramName.equals(((Object[])params)[0].toString()))
((Object[])params[i])[1] = paramValue;
* executeQueryForCollection - overridden for custom java data source support.
protected void executeQueryForCollection(Object qc, Object[] params,
int noUserParams) {
changeGenericBindVariable(params, "pDeptId", "50")
super.executeQueryForCollection(object, object2, i);
But its better to set bind variables before you executeQueryForCollection. like when you invoke LOV.
For cascading LOVs and the problems i have check:

How do I use a variable within a sql statement

I am trying to use a local variable within an open SQL step but I keep getting an error.
My sql command looks like this "SELECT BoardDetailID FROM BoardDetails WHERE SerialNumber = " + locals.CurrentSerialNo
If I replace the locals.CurrentSerialNo with an actual value such as below the statement works fine.
"SELECT BoardDetailID FROM BoardDetails WHERE SerialNumber = " + " 'ABC001' "
Can someone tell me how to correctly format the statement to use a variable?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I have changed the required variable to a string, but with no success. I have reattached my updated sequence file and an image of the error.
When looking at the Data operation step I see that the sql statement is missing everything after the last quotation mark.
Thanks again,
Stuart

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}'

Use of FIELD in Attribute SQL Query

Hi folks,
Back in 7.1 you could use %FIELD.[attributename]% in a sql query defining an identity store attribute's values.
Does anyone know if this functionality was lost in 7.2? Can't seem to get it to work.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Moritz,
did you consider that note:
Note: Both
fields must be
defined as "Single value" with presentation type "Single select"?
It does not work as soon as you use other storage or presentation types.
