Using textField input as parameter to SQL Query

Hi,
Only a newbie can ask a quetion like this. I need my user to input a value in a text box, click a button and see the results of the Query displayed. I can do that if I bind a Dropdown box to a table, but since the table is huge, my page will slow down.

Hi,
Exactly,
The below peice of code may give u an idea.
this.getSessionBean1().setid(textField1.getValue().toString());
where id would be bean property.
Cheers:)

How to add a parameter to sql query in report

Hi
How to add a parameter to sql query in report.
Parameter is from Visual studio
example:
select * from tab1 where dl=parameter???
I have VS 2008 prof CR XI R2, mysql

Hello,
If you have this API available then you can modify the record selection formulae in code to add filtering:
string recordSelectionFormula = "{T_INV_RPT_ADDR.IND_PROMUS} = {?P_PROMUS?} AND {T_INV_RPT_POINT.INVOICE_DATE} = DATE(2008, 05, 31) AND {T_INV_RPT_POINT.CHECKOUT_DATE} = date(2008, 04,29)";
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.RecordSelectionFormula = recordSelectionFormula;
You have to format and follow the rules as in the Designer so not too much work to get this to work.
CR for .NET may not have the ability so you will need to upgrade to a Developer version of Crystal Reports.
Thank you

Date parameter to SQL query

Hi,
I am using from_date and to_date parameters. Data type and Param type for both are 'Date' and my Format string is 'dd/MM/yyyy'
I need to pass these two values to my data model which is SQL query. Whenever I use below WHERE clause I am getting
"ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected", Please let me know how to fix this error.
trunc(a.scan_timestamp) between to_char(to_date(:p_from_date,'DD/MM/YYYY'),'DD-MON-YYYY') and
to_char(to_date(:p_to_date,'DD/MM/YYYY'),'DD-MON-YYYY')

Hello,
if you choose Date for Data type and Parameter Type for the parameters then the format of your date has nothing to do with your selection.
Please try
trunc(a.scan_timestamp) between :p_from_date and :p_to_date

Problem using alias field names in a sql query

Hello,
I have a question regarding a simple Oracle database SQL query writeup:
In the following (badly written but properly working) SQL query:
Query 1:
select
soe.field1,
(soe.field2 + soe.field3) as field4,
(soe.field5 - (soe.field2 + soe.field3)) as field6,
(select comp.parValue*soe.field7
from
CompTable comp) as parValue,
(select soe.field8 - (comp.parValue*soe.field7+ soe.field9)
from
CompTable comp) as field10
from
SomeTable soe
PROBLEM 1:
I am re writing the code (soe.field2 + soe.field3) to get the alias field4 or column name field4 that I have created on the fly in the previously for use with the following fields. Can't I rewrite the query as follows. There is something simple missing!
Query 2:
select
soe.field1,
(soe.field2 + soe.field3) as field4,
soe.field5 - field4 as field6, <<< field4 does not work here
(select
comp.parValue*soe.field7
from
CompTable comp) as parValue,
(select
soe.field8 - (comp.parValue*soe.field7+ soe.field9)
from
CompTable comp) as field10
from
SomeTable soe
PROBLEM 2:
Similar to the above problem, I was thinking to get a field parValue out of the CompTable table and re-use many times rather than the code shown in Query 1:
Query 3:
select
soe.field1,
(soe.field2 + soe.field3) as field4,
soe.field5 - field4 as field6,
soe.field7* (select comp.parValue from CompTable comp) as parValue1,
soe.field8 - (parValue1*soe.field7+ soe.field9) as field10 <<<< parvalue1 does not work here
parValue1*soe.field9 as TaxCondition <<<< parvalue1 does not work here
from
SomeTable soe
See that the query becomes so simple, but the above query does not work. There is something fundamentally wrong in my usage of the alias field names in creating other fields. The Query1 seems to be the only working option but its very slow as I am redoing and re-writing the whole code again and again to get the parValue field out of the CompTable table for use to create many other fields.
I will appreciate if you can guide me in the right direction on this issue.
Thanks and Regards

Using WHERE command in property loader SQL query

Hello All,
Hopefully this will be a fairly straight forward question.
I am attempting to use Property Loader to read in test limits from a SQL database. There are many types of models that need to be tested, each having a unique set of limits. I want to be able to retrieve the appropriate limits for the model of product under test.
To do this I have the product model number available in a FileGlobal. The database contains a table with the test limit information with an identifying 'ModelNumber_Number' column.
I have written the following SQL query achieve this:
"SELECT * FROM TESTLIMITS WHERE ModelNumber_Number=+ FileGlobals.ModelNumber"
However, this is where I am confused. I'm not sure on the syntax for accessing a variable in the SQL command. I receive the following error:
The multi-part identifier "FileGlobals.ModelNumber" could not be bound.
Can someone please provide guidence on how to do this?
Many thanks,
Cam.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you very much for your reply.
Upon changing the query to as you suggest, I am presented with the following:
Error In SQL Statement Expression. "SELECT * FROM TESTLIMITS WHERE ModelNumber_Number = " + FileGlobals.ModelNumber
Specified value does not have the expected type.
The type of FileGlobals.ModelNumber is a numeric represented as a double precision 64 bit signed integer.
The database column is also of type int 64.
Can you suggest a solution?
Many thanks.

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

Jsf and putting parameter in sql query

Hey,I have a database,and I want for the selected checkboxes that a user checks,to get their Ids from the database.I am assuming that I need a query something like this: SELECT person.Id FROM person WHERE person.Id=?. I am using NetBeans for my project.My questions are
1.How do I make the query?Do I use a string with the above value, and then I ask it where?
2.How do I say that the parameter ? would be the Ids of the selected checkboxes?
3.Is there anything else I have to add in the query to make it right?A while function maybe?
Sorry for the question but I am new in the business!

1) This question has nothing to do with JSF at all. Are you familair with JDBC and SQL? If not, start reading tutorials/books about that.
2) You can obtain the selected values in the JSF backing bean and pass it through to a DAO class which should obtain data from the DB.
3) Just some background knowledge and understanding.

Using multiple 'and' conditions in a SQL query

Is it possible to reduce the SQL required to query using multiple 'and' conditions, e.g. I have a query like the following:
select stat.personal_id, appt.username, appt.password, apps.rgn_apt_id, apps.apy_apn_id
from apy_ast_application_status stat, rgn_usr_user appt, rgn_aps_applications apps
where stat.apy_apn_id = apps.rgn_apt_id
and apps.rgn_apt_id = appt.rgn_apt_id
and stat.application_completed is null
and stat.application_started_date > '01-MAY-11'
and stat.amount_paid is null
and stat.personal_details = 'C'
and stat.further_details = 'C'
and stat.education = 'C'
and stat.employment = 'C'
and stat.personal_statement = 'C'
and stat.choices = 'C'
and stat.reference = 'C'
and stat.student_finance = 'C'
Is there a way, to reduce all the multiple 'and' queries, to be read from say one line? If you know what I mean.......

Ah, Ok this looks nice, thanks very much. It doesn't quite run as is because the stat.amount_paid query value is 'is null', while the others are 'C'. I tried amending the relevant line to various versions of the following:-
in (select 'is null' 'C','C','C','C','C','C','C','C' from dual)
which doesn't work.
I can get the following to work so I am assuming that the it is not possible to use different query values within the brackets of the 'in (select....' statement?
select stat.personal_id, appt.username, appt.password, apps.rgn_apt_id, apps.apy_apn_id
from apy_ast_application_status stat, rgn_usr_user appt, rgn_aps_applications apps
where stat.apy_apn_id = apps.rgn_apt_id
and apps.rgn_apt_id = appt.rgn_apt_id
and stat.application_completed is null
and stat.application_started_date > '01-MAY-11'
and stat.amount_paid is null
and (stat.personal_details, stat.further_details, stat.education,
stat.employment, stat.personal_statement, stat.choices, stat.reference, stat.student_finance)
in (select 'C','C','C','C','C','C','C','C' from dual)
Thanks for everybodys help - the suggested alternatives seem so much more elegant

Problem with parameter and sql query

I've a problem with te query of my report. The query is:
SELECT [DESCRIPTN]
      ,[LOGTIME]
      ,[STATUS]
      ,[CARDNO]
      ,[LOGDATE]
FROM [Granta5P0].[dbo].[TIMELOG32]
where cardno in ({?cardNo})
the parameter as multiple values checked so I can query for more than one card.
If i put just one parameter everything works fine but when I put 2 or more I have his error
[http://www.megagaleria.com/pictures/Pic_10074_25.jpg]
I realized that the field as no ' delimiting the parameters, I have a function that already does it but I don't know how to put it in my sql command.
If anyone can help I appreciate

Yes, because your parameter is only looking for one card.
where cardno in ({?cardNo})
Will you only be creating querys on two cards or less ?
Are you trying to create an Array?
If two or less you could
where cardno = ({?cardNo}) or cardno = ({?cardNo2})

Input result from a SQL-query into a Variable in ProcessFlow

I am trying to select a value from a table with file names.
This file name should be input to an ftp function. I use a owb function to read the file name then I try to asign the result to a variable.
The function GET_FILENAME looks like
f_name varchar2(30);
BEGIN
select distinct FILENAME_SOURCE into f_name from CTL_SOURCE_FILES
where FILEID = (select min(FILEID) from CTL_SOURCE_FILES where status is null);
RETURN f_name;
END;
When running it as a SQL-script it returns only one row/name.
When I am running it in the ProcessFlow the following message is found:
RPE-02040: Internal error: GET_FILENAME cannot be converted to a constant value.

Let me talk about this in context of a mapping:
create a mapping :
use a function within a mapping
assign the output of the mapping to a mapping input variable"
use this mapping within your process flow and see if it works.
if you are directly going to use the output of a function in a process flow , the FTP should be able to accept the filename from the outparam of the function which i am not sure how it works.
try using the first approach as it is relatively simple and straightforward.

Using a Variable to create the SQL Query

I need to create a "dynamic" Update query. I want to store
the meet of the command in a variable and then reference the
variable in in query.
Example:
<cfquery name="fred" datasource="mydb">
update db_table_name set
pbname = 'Fred Flintstone',
pbnumber = '555-555-1234'
pbage = 25
where recnum = 24
</cfquery>
I would like use code this:
<cfset upst = "pbname = 'Fred Flintstone', pbnumber =
'555-555-1234', pbage = 25">
<cfquery name="fred" datasource="mydb">
update db_table_name set
#upst#
where recnum = 24
</cfquery>
When I run this, I get the following error message:
Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC
Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error
(missing operator) in query expression ''Fred Flintstone''.
The SQL line is:
update db_table_name set pbname = ''Fred Flintstone'',
pbnumber = ''555-555-1234'', pbage = 25 where recnum = 24
I know its hard to see, but the '' are 2 ' not 1 " . I have
no idea why Coldfusion (or maybe the ODBC driver??) is placing the
2nd ' in the command which causes the errors.
Can anyone shed some light on this topic?
While this is a simple example, my application is far more
complex. I have over 50 fields in the udpate and depending on
changes to the form values, I may need to update all the fields,
some of the fields or NONE of the fields.
I can use <cfif> to test if any fields have changed and
if so, include them in the update command, but if NONE of the
fields have changed, I would have an empty update command and
therefore get an error. I want to avoid having to test for changes
twice (once to determine if I am doing the update and twice to
perform the update).
Thanks,
Mike.

cf automatically escapes the single quotes, so you need to
preserve them
<cfquery name="fred" datasource="mydb">
update db_table_name set
#PreserveSingleQuotes(upst)#
where recnum = 24
</cfquery>

Using the LIKE keyword in a SQL query

Does anyone have an example using the Database Connectivity Execute Query vi and the LIKE keyword? I would like to do something like:
SELECT TestNum, TestType FROM tests WHERE DeviceType ='Paul_AF125_Ver1' AND DeviceID = 'Test1' AND (TestType LIKE "Cyclic Voltammetry*")
It works fine if I say LIKE "Cyclic Voltammetry" (without the *) but if I put the * in there, I get no records.
I'm using Microsofts SQL Server Desktop Engine (comes with Access).
Thanks,
Paul

Paul-
Thank you for contacting National Instruments. I don't have an example program, but I did find some information for you.
LIKE - similar to.
Using the LIKE command, you can use the wildcard symbol %. To find names starting with J : names LIKE 'J%'; Ending in s ? name LIKE '%S'; You can use more than one % charactor too : names LIKE '%sam%'; Also, LIKE is not case sensitive.
What you have written, may work if you change the wildcard syntax from * to %.

Can we just link to an oracle form using a url still as we can with reports? I've built a report that requires the user to select from a dynamic list as well, and I know how to do this through forms, but can I simply call the form from a webpage?
