select count(*)As CNT,Flat_status,property_name,Building
From xxacl_pn_flat_det_dm
where property_name in ($P{Property})
group by Flat_status,property_name,Building
$P{Property} returning multiple values in Dataset but not in cockpit view
As I understood, you want to pass multi value parameters to the dataset via some analytical driver from the cockpit interface. Well, first you must set the analytical driver to multivalue, then you can use the multivalue parameter syntax from spago, which is : $P{Property(';,;')} , this will give you something like:
select count(*)As CNT,Flat_status,property_name,Building
From xxacl_pn_flat_det_dm
where property_name in ('example1','example2')
group by Flat_status,property_name,Building

is it possible to add a dynamic value on filter.
I'm trying to save a report with a filter using the current user:
A solution to this problem is to include the variable as a column in your query and then filter on that column.
Example:
Your select would be something like
SELECT
your_value1,
CASE WHEN created_by = :APP_USER THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS is_current_user
FROM
your_table
If you then set a filter on is_current_user you'll only get the rows where created_by = :APP_USER.
Maybe it is possible; though, I don't know how. Whichever option I tried:
:APP_USER
&APP_USER.
v('APP_USER')
created a page item whose source is :APP_USER and base filter on that item
nothing worked. Apex applies single quotes around those expressions and - therefore - treats them as strings, e.g. ':APP_USER'.
However, what you might do in this particular case is to edit the query itself and add WHERE condition:
where blocked_by = :APP_USER
That would certainly work.
I'm running Apex 19.2 and I would like to create a classical or interactive report based on dynamic query.
The query I'm using is not known at design time. It depends on an page item value.
-- So I have a function that generates the SQL as follows
GetSQLQuery(:P1_MyItem);
This function may return something like
select Field1 from Table1
or
Select field1,field2 from Table1 inner join Table2 on ...
So it's not a sql query always with the same number of columns. It's completely variable.
I tried using PL/SQL function Body returning SQL Query but it seems like Apex needs to parse the query at design time.
Has anyone an idea how to solve that please ?
Cheers,
Thanks.
Enable the Use Generic Column Names option, as Koen said.
Then set Generic Column Count to the upper bound of the number of columns the query might return.
If you need dynamic column headers too, go to the region attributes and set Type (under Heading) to the appropriate value. PL/SQL Function Body is the most flexible and powerful option, but it's also the most work. Just make sure you return the correct number of headings as per the query.
Here's my query. In the application, the query is a little more complex but the focus is more on how to use the parameter
SELECT EmpName, Department, Salary
From tblEmployees
WHERE Salary >= #baseSalary
If a user want to select employees whose salaries start from a certain level they can do so.
I've found some videos on Plurasight on how to filter the result, but none on how to use the parameter directly in the query.
Thanks for helping
I create parameters in SSRS and then map them to the query with the Parameter tab in the Dataset Properties. If you use the same name for your parameter as the query, they will map automatically.
Here's an example of how I use them together:
Parameters
Dataset query
Parameter Tab of Dataset Properties
I am writing queries for reports using Eclipse/BIRT. At the moment I create a query with ? characters for parameters, and I can then assign values to the parameters under the parameter tab.
However, if I need to assign the same value multiple times, I have to do this multiple times, once for each appropriate ?. Additionally, this system is fragile - if I add a question mark in the middle of the query, I need to adjust and reorder the list of parameters.
Is there a way to use named parameters rather than question marks in the original query?
BIRT query doesn't support named parameters but if database supports WITH statement, you can do what is illustrated here:
http://enterprisesmartapps.wordpress.com/2011/01/10/re-using-parameters-in-birt-data-set/
Basically, you're query becomes:
WITH
params AS
(SELECT ? AS year FROM dual)
SELECT * FROM tab1, params WHERE year = params.year
UNION
SELECT * FROM tab2, params WHERE year = params.year
Then you can set the ? once.
I am using oracleclient provider. I was wondering how do I use a parameter in the query.
select * from table A where A.a in ( parameter).
The parameter should be a multivalue parameter.
how do I create a data set?
Simple. Add the parameter to the report and make sure to check it off as multi-valued. Then in the data tab and go in and edit the query click the "..." button to edit the dataset. Under the parameters tab create a mapping parameter so it looks something like this (obviously you will have different names for your parameters):
#ids | =Parameters!ContractorIDS.Value
Then in the query tab use the coorelated sub-query like your example above. I have done this many times with SQL server and there is no reason it should not work with Oracle since SSRS is going to build an ANSI compliant SQL statement which it will pass to Oracle.
where A.myfield in (#ids)
You can't have a variable in list in oracle directly. You can however, break apart a comma seperated list into rows that can be used in your subquery. The string txt can be replaced by any number of values seperated by a comma.
select * from a where a.a in (
SELECT regexp_substr(txt,'[^,]+',1,level)
FROM (SELECT 'hello,world,hi,there' txt -- replace with parameter
FROM DUAL)
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= LENGTH (REGEXP_REPLACE (txt, '[^,]'))+1
)
The query works by first counting the number of commas that are in the text string. It does this by using a reqular expression to remove all non commas and then counts the length of the remainder.
It then uses an Oracle "trick" to return that number + 1 number of rows from the dual table. It then uses the regexp_substr function to pull out each occurence.
Firstly in SSRS with an Oracle OLEDB connection you need to use the colon, not the # symbol e.g. :parameter not #parameter but then you aren't able to do this as a multi-valued parameter, it only accepts single values. Worse, if you are using an ODBC connection you have to use the question mark by itself e.g. ? not #parameter and then the ordering of parameters becomes important, and they also cannot be multi-valued. The only ways you are left with is using an expression to construct a query (join() function for the param) or calling a stored proc.
The stored proc option is best because the SSRS can handle the parameters for stored procs to both SQL Server and Oracle very cleanly, but if that is not an option you can use this expression:
="select column1, column2, a from table A where A.a in (" + Join(Parameters!parameter.Value,", ") + ")"
Or if the parameter values are strings which need apostrophes around them:
="select column1, column2, a from table A where A.a in ('" + Join(Parameters!parameter.Value,"', '") + "')"
When you right-click on the dataset, you can select "dataset properties" and then use the fx button to edit the query as an expression, rather than using the query designer which won't let you edit it as an expression.
This expression method is limited to a maximum limit of about 1000 values but if you have that many this is the wrong way to do it anyway, you'd rather join to a table.
I don't think you can use a parameter in such a situation.
(Unless oracle and the language you're using supports array-type parameters ? )
The parameters in oracle are defined as ":parametername", so in your query you should use something like:
select * from table A where value in (:parametername)
Add the parameter to the paramaters folders in the report and mark the checkbox "Allow multiple values".
As Victor Grimaldo mentioned… below worked for me very fine. As soon as I use the :parameter in my SQL query in SSRS dataset1.. it asked me to enter the values for these parameters, for which I choose already created SSRS parameters.
SELECT * FROM table a WHERE VALUE IN (**:parametername**)
Thanks Victor.
