Where clause on portal queries

we'd like to apply a 'where clause' on the 'query' option of a portal form based on a table. Is there a generic procedure we can use in the pl/sql event handler block to do this? I've seen p_session.set_value used in the generated package with parameters '_block', '_WHERE_CLAUSE', and p_value - but not sure what syntax this is expecting and whether I can use it here.......
any help appreciated.....

Yes, it can be specified, exactly as it is set in the generated form package:
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => "_block",
p_attribute_name => '_WHERE_CLAUSE',
p_value => <varchar2 string>,
p_index => 1
And syntax is the same as in the WHERE clause in a SELECT statement :
.... WHERE empno=1234 and ename = 'BLAH' .... etc.....

Where Clause at Portal Forms

Hi,
I would like to know how can i put a where clause at my Portal Form without using a view.

At present there is no such provision. You have to create a view in database for this purpose.

Reg: Where clause in Hier queries -

Hi Experts,
I'm trying to understand the way Oracle calls the 'where' clause in case of 'connect by level' queries.
Is it first creating all the rows using connect-by-level and then filtering the rows using where clause?

Just if you take an execution plan it will tell you that the connect by is done without the filter and then the filter is applied.

Where clause at my Portal Form

Hi,
I would like to know how can i put a where clause at my Portal Form without using a view.
Thanks,

One way of it is call your form using link like e.g.
''||'ref1 Candidate '||''
will display candidate form with entry ref1.
Hope this help you.

Where clause problem with sub-queries in forms 6i

where is the best place to put a sub query?? I have been using the set block property, however when running a sub query an alternative method must be used. what are some other options?? I have tried to have the query directly in the data block property palette but to no avail...
There are 2 tables project and assignment
maximum resources cannot be exceeded therefore a count of employees
on the assignment table establishes that there are open spaces on the project.
This code Here is my code for my where clause on the data block
project.resources_maximum >
(Select Count(assignment.employee_ID)
From assignment
Where assignment.project_ID = project.project_ID
group by assignment.project_ID
and project.end_date>sysdate;
I was reading that the project table must be defined in the from clause
to have the query go row by row, otherwise multiple rows are returned
however I cannot define the project in the from,
could this be why this doesn't work???
original SQL that does work
Need to migrate this to forms
Select project.project_ID
from project
Where project.resources_maximum >
(Select Count(assignment.employee_ID)
From assignment
Where assignment.project_ID = project.project_ID
group by assignment.project_ID
and project.end_date>sysdate;

Looking at your query that works at the bottom, I do not see any reason that you would need to include the Assignment table in the From list. Just use the same where clause in the form:
Where project.resources_maximum
    > (Select Count(assignment.employee_ID)
       From assignment
       Where assignment.project_ID = project.project_ID
       group by assignment.project_ID )

Dynamic where clause in database adapter

Hi
I have requirement to develop SOA service for search page! The back-end query for search is required to have where clauses to be appended to SELECT statement dynamically depending upon search criteria the user selects!
E.g. if user is searching employee from a portal! If employee selects mobile number of the employee, or joining date range or other criteria, then accordingly appropriate clauses are to be appended to SEARCH SELECT statement.
Can we achieve same while implementing executing database query through database adapter from BPEL service?
Thanks In Advance
Priyadarshi

It is difficult using the standard database adapter approach. You may have to use nested sql queries.Following is a good example of the same.
Neeraj Sehgal - Experimenting with SOA: Pass multiple parameters, dynamic query in Pure SQL in Database Adapter
If your only problem in using this that you are hard coding the connection details , you can use the datasource jndi name in the query. hence you will not be required to change your code when moving from one env to other env. You just have to take care of keeping the jndi name same in all the env.

Cardinality estimator 2014 is off with OR in where clause

Here is my test setup on SQL Server 2014.
-- Create big table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Store](
Id int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
City int NOT NULL,
Size int NOT NULL,
Name varchar(max) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Store] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([Id] ASC)
GO
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_Store] ON [dbo].[Store] (City ASC, Size ASC)
GO
-- Fill with 100k rows
INSERT Store
SELECT i % 101, i % 11, 'Store ' + CAST(i AS VARCHAR)
FROM
(SELECT TOP 100000 ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY s1.[object_id]) AS i
FROM sys.all_objects s1, sys.all_objects s2) numbers
GO
-- Create small table
CREATE TABLE #StoreRequest (City int NOT NULL, Size int NOT NULL)
GO
INSERT #StoreRequest values (55, 1)
INSERT #StoreRequest values (66, 2)
Now I execute the following query (I force the index to show statistics estimates)
SELECT s.City
FROM #StoreRequest AS r
INNER JOIN Store AS s WITH(INDEX(IX_Store), FORCESEEK)
ON s.City = r.City AND s.Size = r.Size
WHERE s.Size <> 1 OR r.City <> 55
Here are the estimates that I get (I'm not allowed to upload pictures):
Index Seek IX_Store
Actual Number of Rows: 90
Estimated Number of Rows: 50000
Fixing WHERE clause to use one table not two makes the estimate perfect:
SELECT s.City
FROM #StoreRequest AS r
INNER JOIN Store AS s WITH(INDEX(IX_Store), FORCESEEK)
ON s.City = r.City AND s.Size = r.Size
WHERE s.Size <> 1 OR s.City <> 55
Index Seek IX_Store
Actual Number of Rows: 90
Estimated Number of Rows: 89.74
Switching to 2012 compatibility mode gives estimate of 1 in both cases:
Index Seek IX_Store
Actual Number of Rows: 90
Estimated Number of Rows: 1
Could anyone explain the first result? I'm a bit worried about it. The fix in this case is trivial, but this problem gave us quite some headache in more complex real life queries with multiple joins.
Thank you!

But not full statistics on a field basis, just sometimes some default stats like total row count that some plans will build. Even your StoreRequest table only has one two-field index that will have a full histogram.
But I've seen SQL Server make massively bad plans on two-field indexes.
I've seen SQL Server go wrong one-column indexes, so that is not a very relevant point.
Temp tables or not, the estimate here is clearly incorrect. SQL Server knows the density of Size and City. It knows the cardinality of the temp table. The density information gives how many rows the the join will produce. The WHERE clause will then remove
a certain number of rows. With no statistics for the temp table, it does not now how many, but it will apply some standard guess.
50000 is a completely bogus number, because the join cannot produce that many rows, and SQL Server is able to compute the join with out the WHERE clause decently. (Well, it estimates 90, when the number is 180.) No, this is obviously a case of the cardinality
estimator giving up completely.
It is worth noting that both these WHERE clauses gives reasonable estimates:
WHERE r.Size <> 11 OR r.City <> 550
WHERE s.Size <> 11 OR s.City <> 550
Whereas these two gives the spooky 50000:
WHERE s.Size <> 11 OR r.City <> 550
WHERE r.Size <> 11 OR s.City <> 550

Where clause is not being passed to the report

I just upgraded my crystal reports from 10.0 to 11 R2. Reports were working fine in 10.0 version,
Reports are called from vb.net (vissual studio 2005). When I was running this reports using crystal 10.0 and visual studio 2005, it was working fine, After the upgrade report runs but I am noticing that where clause is not being passed to the reports.It generates report as there is no where clause and produces multiple pages report.

Be careful; post the code you're actually running.

My questions:
1) Why isn't the index t_indx used in Execution plan 1?To use an index, the indexed column must stand alone as one of the operands. If you had a function-based index on TRUNC (fdate), then it might be used in Query 1, because the left operand of = is TRUNC (fdate).
2) From the execution plan, I see that query 2 & 3 is better than query 1. I do not see any difference between execution plan 2 & 3. Which one is better?That depends on what you mean by "better".
If "better" means faster, you've already shown that one is about as good as the other.
Queries 2 and 3 are doing different things. Assuming the table stays the same, Query 2 may give different results every day, but the results of Query 3 will never change.
For clarity, I prefer:
WHERE fdate >= TRUNC (SYSDATE)
AND fdate < TRUNC (SYSDATE) + 1(or replace SYSDATE with a TO_DATE expression, depending on the requirements).
3) I read somewhere - "Always check the Access Predicates and Filter Predicates of Explain Plan carefully to determine which columns are contributing to a Range Scan and which columns are merely filtering the returned rows. Be sceptical if the same clause is shown in both."
Is that true for Execution plan 2 & 3?

Date functions in WHERE clause? HELP

The following two queries are identical except for how I supply the date values in the where clause, yet the first query using the a custom my_date function runs 30x slower than the one using the TO_DATE() function. Both return DATE types...any reason for the difference?
SELECT * from outcomes
WHERE start_time >=fn_my_date('START_MONTH')
AND start_time < fn_my_date('END_MONTH')+1
-- This runs 30x faster--
SELECT * from outcomes
WHERE start_time >=TO_DATE('08/01/2001','MM/DD/YYYY')
AND start_time < TO_DATE('08/31/2001','MM/DD/YYYY')+1
On the flip side, I've also experienced queries running slower using the TO_DATE() function vs the LAST_DAY(sysdate) for equivalenet dates.

I haven't seen the message coming up when using LENGTH or SUBSTR, but every time I connect to a database or attempt to change my preferences (including the "NLS Parameters: Comp" preference), this appears.
You are attempting to set the preference you should be to switch this from ANSI to something else, but SQL Developer is ignoring the preference setting (which I think is a bug).
A way to set the NLS_COMP to something else is to use something like "alter session set nls_comp = BINARY;". Note that changing any preference after that appears to overwrite this and you need to do this for each new connection you start.

SQL Strings in Where Clause - single quotes issue

All,
Im having issues related to SQL String literals when trying to deploy to flash. The complication works fine but I then get a message (see below) stating that a ; is missing. The SQL query and the iview runs fine when we use numeric values or do not apply a where clause on the table.
I am using Visual Composer that has been packaged with NW2004sSP7_Preview
VC & Flex Version: 645.7.0.3
The Error message is get is;
Error in executing a process for Flex compilation, Error 1033: ';' expected
(C:usrsapJ2EJC01j2eeclusterserver0GUIMachine_Business_Packagestest_48731FLEX_COMPILATION_FOLEDRAADCN.mxml:269)

When I goto the deployment file it has the below line;

It seems that the parser for the flash deployment is prematurely finishing the parse when it hits the single quotation in the SQL string!
We had a similar error where if we had a carriage return in the SQL (e.g. between the from & the where clause) then the deployment parser was stating that the line finished prematurely. In the deployment file the carriage return forced a new line thus making the message incomplete. Removing the carriage return resolve that issue
The SQL Preview in the SQL Editor within VC works fine with the string literals in the where clause.
The functionality compiles & deploys in web dynpro however it does not return the results to the table
Questions
1:> Has anyone successfully used flash with string literals in the SQL where clause or had seen this issue in the past?
2:> Is there a setting to get the SQL working on Web dynpro for the information to be returned that I may have missed?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Ian.

How to dynamically build where clause in Linq

Hello everyone,
Oracle DB:11gR2
Oracle Client: 11.2.0.3.0 (ODP.NET)
Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio
VS 2010 (C#)
In a Windows Form, we need to query the data based on the values of dropdown listboxes, which user will select.
Let's say, two combox, one is for Department and one is for Salary
Department:
-1 All
10 Department 1
20 Department 2
30 Department 3
Salary:
-1 All
1 < 20000
2 20000 to 50000
3 50000 to 100000
4 > 100000
Here is C# code to query data:
using (var myEDMctx = new HREntities())
var LINQrslt = from emp in myEDMctx.EMPLOYEES
select emp;
The default values for both combox should be All.
How to write the dynamic where clause for this LINQ?
Thanks in advance!!!

There is nothing Oracle-specific about dynamic LINQ queries. Dynamic LINQ queries are handled all the same way, no matter which data source you use. Microsoft describes how to use Dynamic LINQ here:

ThanksA very brief glance and it looks to me like the only difference between the 2 queries are
and code.code_name="transaction_1"In the first portion and
and code.code_name="transaction_2"So if that's all that is difference, you'd just want to use a single query (no union's) with
and code.code_name in ('transaction_1', 'transaction_2')Cheers,

How to use "where" clause in modify statement

Hi
can any1 telll me is it possible to use a where clause in a modify statemetn. I want to use modify statemetn to insert a new recoed in a database table.
Regards

MODIFY itab - itab_lines
Syntax :
... itab FROM wa TRANSPORTING comp1 comp2 ... WHERE log_exp.
With these additions the MODIFY statement assigns the content of the comp1 comp2 ... components of the wa work area specified after TRANSPORTING to all lines in the itab table that meet the logical condition log_exp. The wa work area must be compatible with the line type of the internal table.
The TRANSPORTING addition has the same effect as changing individual lines. The WHERE addition can only be specified together with the TRANSPORTING addition. After WHERE, any logical expression can be specified in which the first operand of each individual comparison is a component of the internal table. All logical expressions are therefore possible, with the exception of IS ASSIGNED, , and IS SUPPLIED. It is not possible to dynamically specify a component using bracketed character-type data objects.
While for standard tables and hashed tables all lines in the internal table are checked for the logical expression of the WHERE statement, for sorted tables, optimized access can be achieved by checking at least one opening part of the table key for parity using AND linked queries in the logical expression.
Example
Change the contents of the planetype component for all lines in the sflight_tab internal table in which this component contains the value p_plane1 to the value p_plane2.
PARAMETERS: p_carrid TYPE sflight-carrid,
            p_connid TYPE sflight-connid,
            p_plane1 TYPE sflight-planetype,
            p_plane2 TYPE sflight-planetype.
DATA sflight_tab TYPE SORTED TABLE OF sflight
                 WITH UNIQUE KEY carrid connid fldate.
DATA sflight_wa TYPE sflight.
SELECT *
       FROM sflight
       INTO TABLE sflight_tab
       WHERE carrid = p_carrid AND
             connid = p_connid.
sflight_wa-planetype = p_plane2.
MODIFY sflight_tab FROM sflight_wa
       TRANSPORTING planetype WHERE planetype = p_plane1.

To_Date function in the Where Clause

Hello All,
I'm having an issue using the to_date function that has me quite perplexed.
I have two varchar2 fields, one with a date value in the format Mon, DD YYYY, the other has a time value in the format HH:MI PM.
When I run my query one of the columns I retrieve looks like this TO_DATE (d4.adate || e4.atime, 'Mon DD, YYYYHH:MI PM'). The two fields are concatenated together and converted to a date. This works fine.
My problem occurs when I attempt to apply the same logic to the where clause of the aforementioned query. e.g. when I add the following criteria to my query and TO_DATE (d4.adate || e4.atime, 'Mon DD, YYYYHH:MI PM') <= sysdate I get an ORA-01843: not a valid month error.
To further illustrate my problem here are the two queries:
Select d4.adate, e4.atime, TO_DATE (d4.adate || e4.atime, 'Mon DD, YYYYHH:MI PM')
from ....
where ....
The above query works.
Select d4.adate, e4.atime, TO_DATE (d4.adate || e4.atime, 'Mon DD, YYYYHH:MI PM')
from ....
where ....
and TO_DATE (d4.adate || e4.atime, 'Mon DD, YYYYHH:MI PM') <= sysdate
The second query does not work.
The tables used and the limiting criteria are identical, except for the last one.
Does anyone have any ideas why this could be happening.

-SriSorry Sri, but I fail to see what you mean. How is what you're doing any different than what I'm doing?
