Using TMVL in Select Statement

Dear All,
Is the usage of TMVL in Select Statement valid?
*SELECT(%VAR_YEAR%, YEAR, TIME, ID = TMVL(-12, %TIME_SET%))
I don't think I manage to get this statement running.
Thanks,
YL

Thanks All.
My requirement is:
Copy from Source to Destination using script logic:
Package Selections:
Category : Forecast
Time : 2025.12
Version : 2025
Source
Dimension Category : Plan
Dimension Time : 2025.12
Dimension Version : 2024
Destination
Dimension Category : Forecast
Dimension Time : 2025.12
Dimension Version : 2025
And question is how to derive Version 2024 which is 2025 - 1, without using a specific property for it, i.e. Previous Year?
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Yen Li

Using procedure in SELECT statement

I have a select statement that currently uses 4 functions to receive necessary values. All the functions are recursive and returns values from the same row.
What I would like to do is replace these for function calls with 1 procedure. Does anybody know if it possible to use a procedure in this way inside a select statement?
If so, do you have the syntax for doing this?
E.g
SELECT
Mdbrd_Pkg.calculate_fixed_charge_fn(in_rc_id, ap.CONFIGSET_ID) AS FIXED_CHARGE,
Mdbrd_Pkg.calculate_charge_rate_fn(in_rc_id, ap.CONFIGSET_ID) AS CHARGE_RATE,
Mdbrd_Pkg.tax_liable_fn(in_rc_id, ap.CONFIGSET_ID) AS TAX_LIABLE,
Mdbrd_Pkg.charge_unit_fn( in_rc_id, ap.CONFIGSET_ID) AS CHARGEUNIT_ID
FROM .....

This cannot be done. The part of the function used in the SELECT statement is the return value: procedures don't have return values (that's what makes tham procedures and not functions).
Obviously I don't know what your code does, but you should consider putting them into a single function that returns a TYPE with four attributes and then using the TABLE() function to cast them into something you could reference in the FROM clause of a correlated sub-query. Sounds a bit messy though.
Do these functions actually select data? Where does the recursion fit in?

Why I Can't use procedure in select statement

Why I Can't use procedure in select statement

We can use function in select statement but we couldn't use procedure with one out parameters in select statement... You can use Function because they are designed for this but procedure are not. Functions can return value (without OUT parameter) which can be used in SELECT whereas procedures do not have such concept. As you can see in the above post you can not call even functions also if it has any out parameter.
I have just trying to use procedure in select statement ..for this I require technical answer..The technical answer is because conceptually procedure is for doing set of operation, performning DMLs on the tables , whereas functions are for processing and producing a single result. Functions are basically for not using INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE in it. That is the reason they are allowed to be used in SELECT because conceptually they are not supposed to do any data changes.

Using Cursor in Select statements? How to do this?

Using variable in select statement (php)

I am having difficulty using a variable in a select
statement.
The following manual query (using a static date) works fine:
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT * FROM academyClasses WHERE
classDate > '2006-06-01' ";
However, If I use the following:
$dateVar = date('Y-m-d');
mysql_select_db($database_mw, $mw);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT * FROM academyClasses WHERE
classDate > $dateVar ";
ALL records are returned, which means the $dateVar variable
is not being recognized. I have compared the $dateVar values
<?php echo $datetime; ?> against the actual value of my date
field <?php echo $row_Recordset1['classDate']; ?> in my
results table and it seems that the values are indeed accurate in
terms of a date 2006-06-04 for example.
My date field "classDate" is of a "date" type within the
mysql database. I'm using Dreamweaver MX 2004 with Mac OSX 10.3.9.
I'm sure this is just a syntax problem, at least I hope it
is.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try this:
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT * FROM academyClasses WHERE

print $query_Recordset1;
See what is in the SQL statement.

Using function in select statement

Hi,
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[udf_testFunction]
@value int
RETURNS int
AS
BEGIN
-- Declare the return variable here
declare @returnValue int
set @returnValue = @value*2;
return @returnValue;
END
GO
create table #Temp
EmpID int,
EmpName Varchar(50)
insert into #Temp(EmpID,EmpName) values(1,'Name1');
insert into #Temp(EmpID,EmpName) values(2,'Name2');
insert into #Temp(EmpID,EmpName) values(3,'Name3');
insert into #Temp(EmpID,EmpName) values(4,'Name4');
insert into #Temp(EmpID,EmpName) values(5,'Name5');
select EmpID,EmpName, [dbo].[udf_testFunction](EmpID), [dbo].[udf_testFunction](EmpID)*EmpID,[dbo].[udf_testFunction](EmpID)+2 from #Temp
In the above select statement i used [dbo].[udf_testFunction]() function 3 times. But i want to use only once and reuse it.
Something like
select EmpID,EmpName, testfunctionvalue,testfunctionvalue*EmpID,testfunctionvalue+2 from #Temp
Please advise me.... Thanks in Advance...

You can use this code:
WITH cte
AS ( SELECT EmpID ,
EmpName ,
[dbo].[udf_testFunction](EmpID) AS testfunctionvalue
FROM #Temp
SELECT EmpID ,
EmpName ,
testfunctionvalue ,
testfunctionvalue * EmpID ,
testfunctionvalue + 2
FROM cte
But using scalar functions in select clause can hurt the performance. Please see this link:

Want to use Index in Select statement

Hi,
I want to use the index tha is created for LIPS table for creation date. I want to use that INdex in the select statement to get the data from that table. Any one can tell me how can I right the select statement in report?
thanks.

Like I mentioned earlier, the optimizer is smart enough to choose the correct index based on the WHERE clause. So if you created an index on field ERDAT for LIPS and your SELECT statement is like so.....
Select ERDAT WERKS MATNR
          from LIPS
                      into table Itab
                                Where erdat in s_erdat        "< - ERDAT First in WHERE Clause
                                    and werks in s_werks
                                    and Matnr in s_matnr.
Then the optimizer will choose your index to use to access the data. You can see these if you would do an SQL trace over your program and use the "Explain" button on ST05. It will tell you which index it used and why.
There is no need to use HINTs to force the use of the index.

Is it better to use bapi_salesorder_getlist than select statements?

hi experts,
in terms of performance, which is better in getting a list of salesorders is it better bapi_salesorder_getlist or select statements?
for bapi_salesorder_getlist, i will not get all of the fields so i would still use select.
Message was edited by:
maui bayog

Hi,
If ur requiremetn is specific and can be solved using bapi_salesorder_getlist then only use it, otherwise, use select stament which is more useful for reports as it gives o/p as required and not a predefined limited output. Now u may get sufficient fields but , in future if requirement will change then for small change u may be in problem.
Bapis are very userful for specifc and limited tasks.

USING SUBQUERY IN SELECT STATEMENT

I am looking at reusing the results of a first query in a second select statement.
I have a first table "ACTIVE_FIELDS" in which I maintain the columns I want to query.
Table name ACTIVE_FIELDS
Field - Status
CODE - ACTIVE
DESCRIPTION - ACTIVE
NAME - INACTIVE
So I get the list of active fields by doing :
SELECT FIELD FROM ACTIVE_FIELDS WHERE STATUS=ACTIVE
It gives me : Code and Description.
I have then a second table MATERIAL with 3 columns CODE, DESCRIPTION and NAME.
I am looking at doing a query against MATERIAL table as follows
SELECT (SELECT FIELD FROM ACTIVE_FIELDS WHERE STATUS=ACTIVE) from MATERIAL and I expect to only get columns CODE and DESCRIPTION in the result.
If I want to add the NAME field in the result of my query, I just have to change status of NAME field in the eh ACTIVE_FIELDS table..
Can anybody help me with the exact syntax, I must miss a function to convert the result of the first query..

that data model looks suspiciously like an attribute-value generic model, thus the need for that funky sql.

Using functions in select statement(joining 5 tables) taking long time in Oracle

Hi,
I have created a query in oracle which joins 5 tables and uses two functions(function names are 'ca_concat' and 'ca_concat_noseq').
Query takes approximately 40 secs to execute around 12000 records. If I remove the functions from query it excutes within a second..

Either
(a) use aliases, so each column has a unique name, or
(b) remove duplicate columns from the SELECT clause.
Post your query. It's hard to say exactly what you're doing wrong when we don't know exactly what you're doing.
For best results, post a complete test script (including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, if necessary) that people can to re-create the problem and test their ideas.

How to avoid using schema_name in select statements

Hello
I am in the process of developing a 3-tier database application with Delphi, using Oracle database server. When I try to to execute the following code in a query on the client application(with a logged user who has been granted select on that table):
SELECT C1,C2
FROM TABLE1
WHERE ((C3 = :P1) OR (C3 IS NULL))
AND (C4 = :P2)
ORDER BY C5
it raises an "ORA-00942: table or view does not exist" exception. The table exists, the user has the necessary grants, but it still doesn't work. When I put the actual schema_name before the table name it starts to work(like this):
SELECT C1,C2
FROM SCHEMA1.TABLE1
WHERE ((C3 = :P1) OR (C3 IS NULL))
AND (C4 = :P2)
ORDER BY C5
What am I doing wrong?

To explain the reason for the solutions suggested.
The problem is scope. Just like having a constant in another Delphi unit which is what you want to reference in the current unit.
You refer to an object. Oracle scope resolution first looks in the current schema for the session. If it does not find the object there (as a table/view/synonym/etc), it looks in the public context (public synonyms). It does not traverse any other schemas as that would be a very dangerous and inefficient thing to do (e.g. imagine referring to EMP and you have access to EMP tables in JOE's and SCOTT's schemas - which EMP is the real EMP?).
You can change the current schema for scope resolution. E.g. you're signed in as schema SCOTT. You issue an alter session set current_schema=hr_system. Now the default scope is HR_SYSTEM and no longer SCOTT. However, you're SCOTT privs are still applicable.
Alternatively you can use synonyms or public synonyms. The latter should however not be used for application objects. Public should only be used for generic objects applicable across all application schemas.

How to use a table name in the select statement using a variable?

Hi Everybody,
I got a internal table which has a field or a variable that gets me some tables names. Now I need to retrieve the data from all these tables in that field dynamically at runtime. So could you suggest me a way out to use the select query which uses this variable as a table ?

SELECT OPTIONS use in select statement

hi,
I have defined my selection screen in the main program.
selection-screen begin of screen 0101 as subscreen.
selection-screen begin of block b1.
select-options: S_KUNNR for KNA1-KUNNR,
selection-screen end of block b1.
selection-screen end of screen 0101.
then in an include in the same module pool, i try to use this in select statement
SELECT * INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF XXX FROM ZPPP WHERE KUNNR IN S_KUNNR.
I get an error saying " the IN operator with S_KUNNR is neither followed by an internal table nor by a valuelist "..what does this mean ?
thks

Check the sample code...
REPORT ztest_mod.
DATA: kunnr TYPE kunnr.
* Custom Selection Screen 0200
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 0200 AS SUBSCREEN.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_kunnr FOR kunnr.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN 0200.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR s_kunnr-low.
BREAK-POINT.
START-OF-SELECTION.
"in this screen i have a button with function code 'SEARCH'
" and a subscreen area with name sub
CALL SCREEN 100.
*&      Module STATUS_0100 OUTPUT
MODULE status_0100 OUTPUT.
SET PF-STATUS 'STATUS'.
ENDMODULE.                    "status_0100 OUTPUT
*&      Module USER_COMMAND_0100 INPUT
MODULE user_command_0100 INPUT.
DATA: it_kunnr TYPE TABLE OF kna1.
CASE sy-ucomm.
    WHEN 'SEARCH'.
      SELECT * FROM kna1
      INTO TABLE it_kunnr
      WHERE kunnr IN s_kunnr.
    WHEN 'BACK'.
      LEAVE TO SCREEN 0.
ENDCASE.
ENDMODULE.                    "user_command_0100 INPUT
in the flow logic..
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE status_0100.
CALL SUBSCREEN sub INCLUDING sy-repid '0200'.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE user_command_0100.

CreateNativeQuery using parameter in select LIKE statement

Can I use setParameter on native query (createNativeQuery) using LIKE in select statement?
I have the following code and it doesn't work:
Query qry = manager.createNativeQuery("Select * from Type as t where t.typeid LIKE '%?1%'", Type.class);
qry.setParameter(1, "2");
Thanks.

You could do this using the CONCAT function (+ ||, depending on the database). i.e. concat '%' + ?1 + '%'. You can do this in a native query, but JPQL does not allow functions in like (although some providers may support it). If your using TopLink Essentials or (TopLink/EclipseLink) you can do this using an Expression query.
But, in general it may be better and easier to just concat "%" to your argument.
