Current select statement:
SELECT *
FROM vw_svc200_open
WHERE (CUSTNMBR = '::CUSTNMBR::')
ORDER BY ::sortcolumn::
This works and all is well. But now I need to modify this select string to apply an extra filter.
SELECT *
FROM vw_svc200_open
WHERE
CASE
WHEN ::CUSTNMBR:: = 'ABC123'
THEN (CUSTNMBR = '::CUSTNMBR::' AND CNTCPRSN = '::CNTCPRSN::')
ELSE (CUSTNMBR = '::CUSTNMBR::')
END
ORDER BY ::sortcolumn::
So basically I need to have my select filter on customer number and if customer number is ABC123 then I also need it to filter on Contact person... The problem with the second SELECT (using the CASE statement) is that it throws an "error near =" on the THEN line.
The ::CUSTNMBR:: and ::CNTCPRSN:: are url string variables (What are those called again?).
Ex.
www.mywebsite.com/mypage.asp?Custnmbr=ABC123
Am I going to have to add some logic to the asp page (i.e. IF/Then) to set a variable, and then pass that variable to the *fp_sQry=* line?
I ended up using nested if statements to set the select statement.

Currently, I am trying to create some software on Progress OpenEdge that sorts by customer's names or account codes.
So essentially, a box will open up when the program runs, the user will select "Name" from the drop-down list, and the program will display all the names in the database from alphabetical order.
Or, they will pick "Account" from the drop-down list, and it will display all the account codes in numeric order. I have attached a picture of the program here:
And this is currently the code I am using to print the results:
However, I'm not sure what I need to add for the others. Would I need IF statements, such as:
OR IF [drop down list] = "Account" THEN or something like that?
Any help would be appreciated.
While you can perform a static order by with a convulted set of if statements, it is a lot cleaner with a dynamic query.
To expand on Tom and Stefan's answers, you can use a query. The ABL lets you create a lot of things with static constructs and use them as dynamic. I think that in this case, you want to so something like the below.
Note that you can do build the query string either using OPEN QUERY qry FOR EACH ... or QUERY qry:QUERY-PREPARE('FOR EACH ... ') ; both will work equally well.
What I think you'd want is
(a) having a static definition of the query (ie DEFINE QUERY) since the cost of adding the buffer(s) to the query is done at compile time, not run time, and
(b) accessing the buffer fields statically (ie slmast.name rather than b::name )
define query qry for slmast.
define variable wc as character no-undo.
if condition eq true then
wc = "WHERE kco = s-kco AND warecode = lv-warecode AND pcode = fi-pcode AND name = fi-name BY name".
else
wc = "WHERE TRUE".
/* alternate
if condition then
open query qry for each slmast no-lock WHERE kco = s-kco AND warecode = lv-warecode AND pcode = fi-pcode AND name = fi-name BY name.
else
open query qry for each slmast no-lock.
*/
query qry:query-prepare(wc).
open query qry.
query qry:get-first().
do while available slmast:
/* do stuff with the buffer */
{&OUT} slmast.name.
query qry:get-next().
end.
query qry:query-close().
Using static constructs as far as possible means that you have less cleanup code to write and the code becomes more readable (IMO).
There are multiple ways to loop through the query results: using DO WHILE NOT QUERY qry:QUERY-OFF-END works as well as AVAILABLE slmast or b:AVAILABLE (if using a purely dynamic query).
As Stefan says, a dynamic query is what you want. This might help get you started:
define variable wc as character no-undo.
define variable q as handle no-undo.
define variable b as handle no-undo.
/* run your UI to get selection criteria amd then
* create a WHERE clause as appropriate
*/
wc = "WHERE kco = s-kco AND warecode = lv-warecode AND pcode = fi-pcode AND name = fi-name BY name".
create buffer b for table "slmast".
create query q.
q:set-buffers( b ).
q:query-prepare( substitute( "FOR EACH slmast NO-LOCK &1", wc )).
q:query-open().
do while q:get-next():
display
b:buffer-field( "name" ):buffer-value
b:buffer-field( "acode" ):buffer-value
b:buffer-field( "pcode" ):buffer-value
b:buffer-field( "trunmtd" ):buffer-value
b:buffer-field( "turnytd" ):buffer-value
.
end.
I have set my column to int not null default 1... but whenever I save my record, it sets default value for that record to be 0.
I am not setting it anywhere. I don't know where I am making a mistake.
I have debugged my code , and when I am passing new entity object it is setting default value for not null to 0 .May be it is something with LINQ, But I don't know how to handle it.I don't want to explicitly assign value.
Thanks!
For sql-server, you can use SQL Server Profiler to catch all the scripts you run into the DB.
This may show you some details
Try running this query, replacing the 'myTable' and 'myColumn' values with your actual TABLE and COLUMN names, and see what's returned:
SELECT
OBJECT_NAME(C.object_id) AS [Table Name]
,C.Name AS [Column Name]
,DC.Name AS [Constraint Name]
,DC.Type_Desc AS [Constraint Type]
,DC.Definition AS [Default Value]
FROM sys.default_constraints DC
INNER JOIN sys.Columns C
ON DC.parent_column_id = C.column_id
AND DC.parent_object_id = C.object_id
WHERE OBJECT_NAME(DC.parent_object_id) = 'myTable'
AND COL_NAME(DC.parent_object_id,DC.parent_column_id) = 'myColumn'
;
Should return something like this:
[Table Name] [Column Name] [Constraint Name] [Constraint Type] [Default Value]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
myTable myColumn DF_myTable_myColumn DEFAULT_CONSTRAINT ('0')
If the [Default Value] returned is indeed (1), then it means that you have set the constraint properly and something else is at play here. It might be a trigger, or some other automated DML that you've forgotten/didn't know about, or something else entirely.
I am not the world's biggest fan of using a TRIGGER, but in a case like this, it could be handy. I find that one of the best uses for a TRIGGER is debugging little stuff like this - because it lets you see what values are being passed into a table without having to scroll through mountains of profiler data. You could try something like this (again, switching out the myTable and myColumn values with your actual table and column names):
CREATE TABLE Default_Check
(
Action_Time DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT GETDATE()
,Inserted_Value INT
);
CREATE TRIGGER Checking_Default ON myTable
AFTER INSERT, UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO Default_Check (Inserted_Value)
SELECT I.myColumn
FROM Inserted I
;
END
;
This trigger would simply list the date/time of an update/insert done against your table, as well as the inserted value. After creating this, you could run a single INSERT statement, then check:
SELECT * FROM Default_Check;
If you see one row, only one action (insert/update) was done against the table. If you see two, something you don't expect is happening - you can check to see what. You will also see here when the 0 was inserted/updated.
When you're done, just make sure you DROP the trigger:
DROP TRIGGER Checking_Default;
You'll want to DROP the table, too, once it's become irrelevant:
DROP TABLE Default_Check;
If all of this still didn't help you, let me know.
In VB use
Property VariableName As Integer? = Nothing
And
In C# use
int? value = 0;
if (value == 0)
{
value = null;
}
Please check My Example:
create table emp ( ids int null, [DOJ] datetime NOT null)
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Emp] ADD CONSTRAINT DF_Emp_DOJ DEFAULT (GETDATE()) FOR [DOJ]
1--Not working for Default Values
insert into emp
select '1',''
2 ---working for Default Values
insert into emp(ids) Values(13)
select * From emp
I have an ASP.NET Web API app using Oracle's Entity Framework driver. I have an entity defined for a view as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW "PHASE_TWO"."EDIPRODUCT" ("ID", "STK_NUM", "TITLE", "ISBN", "UPC", "ITEMNO", "LONGFORMAT", "ABRIDGED", "WEB_TITLES_ID", "OCLC", "GENRE", "RELYEAR", "ORIG_REL", "LANG", "ORIG_STKNUM", "PUBLISHER", "PEOPLELIST", "SALES_ORG", "NOT_AVAIL") AS
SELECT sap_product.id,
sap_product.stk_num,
sap_product.longdesc AS title,
sap_product.isbn,
sap_product.upc,
sap_product.itemno,
sap_product.longformat,
sap_product.abridged,
mwt_product.web_titles_id,
mwt_product.oclc,
mwt_product.genre,
mwt_product.RELYEAR,
sap_product.orig_rel,
sap_product.lang,
sap_product.orig_stknum,
UPPER (publisher.name) publisher,
(SELECT LISTAGG (p.FULLNAME, ', ') WITHIN GROUP (
ORDER BY pp.rank) AS People
FROM people p
JOIN product_people pp
ON p.id = pp.peopleid
WHERE pp.stk_num = sap_product.stk_num
GROUP BY pp.STK_NUM
) PeopleList,
sppg.PRICING_TYPE as sales_org,
sap_product.not_avail
FROM sap_product
JOIN mwt_product ON sap_product.stk_num = mwt_product.stk_num
JOIN publisher ON mwt_product.publisherid = publisher.id
JOIN SAP_PRODUCT_PRICING_GROUP sppg on sppg.STK_NUM = mwt_product.stk_num and sppg.MARKED_FOR_DELETION = 0
WHERE mwt_product.WEB_PRODUCTS_ID > 0;
This view works as expected in SQL Developer. My getEDIPRODUCT function (yes, it's VB.NET) in my controller is as follows:
' GET: odata/EDIPRODUCTs
<EnableQuery>
Function GetEDIPRODUCT() As IQueryable(Of EDIPRODUCT)
Dim results As IQueryable
results = db.EDIPRODUCT
For Each _product In results
Console.Write(_product)
Next
Return results
End Function
I just added the for loop in order to inspect the results. What I see when I inspect the results is the same product record is returned for each row. The value for the ID is duplicate and the only other field that should have variant values (sppg.PRICING_TYPE as sales_org) also just repeats.
I have other views where this does not occur. The correct number of records are always returned, but the first record retrieved is always just repeated in each row of the result set. Any idea what could be going on here?
I never actually resolved this issue and am still interested in why this fails, but I rewrote the portion of the app that uses this view to use OData's $expand to retrieve the related data.
I need to pass a server-side parameter to my SqlDataSource SELECT IN-clause as follows (notice the parameter #InClause and it's location in the SQL-select that is defined in the aspx (for the SqlDataSource):
SELECT UID_REPORT, TXT_RPT_TEXT, TXT_RPT_NAME, TXT_RPT_ASPX_PAGE, TXT_RPT_TYPE
FROM REPORTS WHERE (UID_REPORT IN (#InClause))
ORDER BY INT_SORT_ORDER
But this does not pass validation in the Test-Query operation.
The '#InClause' parameter gets it's value from a HiddenField control.
I want to set this value based on some conditions. for example If DIVISION=5 then #InClause would ="45,46" Else ="14,15".
Any suggestions on how to pass the IN ( ... ) values by the hiddenfield.Value (which is a string, of course).
Thanks.
You need split string function to do this
SELECT uid_report,
txt_rpt_text,
txt_rpt_name,
txt_rpt_aspx_page,
txt_rpt_type
FROM reports
WHERE uid_report IN (SELECT split_value
FROM Udf_splitstring(#InClause, ','))
ORDER BY int_sort_order
Check the below links to create a split string function
http://sqlperformance.com/2012/07/t-sql-queries/split-strings
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Tally+Table/72993/
or of-course you can use dynamic sql
I am trying to write a following PL/SQL function body for a dynamic action
The purpose of dynamic action is to set value for text area based on input parameters. Way I am trying to do it, is that setting the value into variable for different options
declare
P_NOTE varchar(100); -- derive value
P_WEBSERVER varchar(100); -- derive name
begin
-- for getting the P_NOTE value
select distinct note into P_NOTE from port_mapping where PLATFORM = :P3_PLATFORM and VERSION = :P3_VERSION;
-- for getting web server value
select CONCAT(P_NOTE,CONCAT('https-',:P3_CLIENT)) into P_WEBSERVER from dual order by 1;
if (:P3_PLATFORM = 'Apache') then
return P_WEBSERVER;
end if;
end;
However I am getting error
ORA-06550: line 15, column 5:
PLS-00372: In a procedure, RETURN statement cannot contain an expression
ORA-06550: line 15, column 5:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
declare
P_NOTE varchar(100);
P_WEBSERVER varchar(100);
I am not sure what I am missing.
(Since you did not post any apex version this explanation deals with version 4.2)
If this -is- a dynamic action and the code you posted is in a true action of type 'Execute PL/SQL Code' then you can not use RETURN. The plsql block is not a function body (close, Mr Kemp!).
If you want to return values from the session state to page items then you need to use the "Page Items to Return" item of the true action.
This will put the session state of the defined page items into the value of the item on the page. This means that you can not use any variable to just put stuff in to be able to return it to the page, but you need to use an actual page item (after all, these are bind variables).
To clarify further, you would not write :
return P_WEBSERVER;
But you'd have to use a page item, say P3_WEBSERVER, and you'll need to create one if it doesn't exist of course:
:P3_WEBSERVER := p_webserver;
Of course you'd need to make sure that the correct value will be in there as you can not shortcircuit as you did in your code sample (p_webserver will usually hold a value even if the platform is not 'Apache') eg:
if (:P3_PLATFORM = 'Apache') then
:P3_WEBSERVER := P_WEBSERVER;
else
:P3_WEBSERVER := NULL;
end if;
Just read error message:
line 15, column 5
So, trouble caused by this line:
return P_WEBSERVER;
return not allowed in PL/SQL blocks, use output parameter to return a value.
Read Tom's answer to find out how to do that.
