I have a report that needs to be generated from two different queries.
The first query retrieves a list of information from one data source
The second query must then be called once for each of the records returned by the first query?
Each result set from the second query will then be displayed in separate report tables.
Any pointers are welcome.
It is not possible to perform a SQL join on the first and second query.
Yes this is possible lets assume you have bind your first query results to data table. you can create another table inside the parent table cell and assign your 2 data set to that table with filter of dataset 1

The functionality I require is provided by SubReports

I would like to compare data between two tables say source and destination and output the difference,
the problem is there's a mapping table which stores the columns of source table and corresponding columns of destination.
For example,
Table: T_MAP
SourceTableName SourceTableColumns DestinationTable DestinationTableColumn
s_t1 s_t1_col1 d_t1 d_t1_col1
s_t1 s_t1_col2 d_t d_t1_col2
s_t2 s_t2_col1 d_t2 d_t2_col1
....
So the question is how to compare the data between two tables with the map table.
Current idea is using dynamic cursor to generate dynamic sql statement, then using minus+union all to compare data. But the performance may be a big problem.
Is there any thoughts?
Please help..
Thanks in advance.
I'm am getting irritated with iReports. Problem is that I have a data set returning data for multiple customers and I want to use the "Group Expression" against the customer ID and have the report lay out the Detail Tabs per customer.
I'm finding that, seeming randomly, where there is more that one data row for a customer iReports will generate two or more groupings (Sometimes it does what I expect and group all the customer data together), the field IDing the customer is the same and doesn't change.
Has anyone seen this before? To be honest I can't believe it is actually a bug, but something I've missed. Just much searching as yet to find a suitable result.
I think this is a data sorting problem.
The quote from iReport Ultimate Guide:
JasperReports groups records by evaluating the group expression. Every
time the expression's value changes, a new group instance is created.
The engine does not perform any record sorting (if not explicitly
requested), so when we define groups we should always take care of the
records sorting. That is, if we want to group a set of addresses by
country, the records we select for the report should already by
ordered by country. It is simple to sort data when using an SQL query
by using the ORDER BY clause. When this is not possible (that is, when
obtaining the records from an XML document), we can request that
JasperReports sort the data for us. This can be done using the sort
options available in the query window
You can sort data in these ways:
in case using of Database jdbc connection datasource type you can add ORDER BY customerId clause to the report's query, where customerId - column name of field with customer id
in case using of File csv connection or something like this you can organize data sorting by adding sortField property for field to the report's template (jrxml file):
<jasperReport ...>
...
<field name="customerId" class="java.lang.String"/>
<sortField name="customerId"/>
SQL Statement has ORDER BY?
iReport group is grouped by customer_id?
I'm trying to get the following done: Using Altova Mapforce, I use an XML file with schema as a source. I want to map it to exactly the same output, but only add data to one field.
The value of the field (it's Tax) is determined using a two table SQL join with a WHERE clause over both tables. The tables are joined using foreign keys, the relation is recognized by Mapforce.
The first field of the WHERE clause comes from the first table (header type table), the second and third field from the second tables (lines type tables).
However, I cannot seem to create the logical and correct equivalent of what I am describing here. I've tried it using complex AND constructions where it then inserts the one field I would need multiple times. I've tried WHERE clauses but they fail as they never supply both tables at the same time and there seems to be no way to use a pre-specified JOINing of two tables as a source. The WHERE clause then recognizes only the fields from the first table, not the second one.
Is there an example for this? Joining two (or more) tables, using WHERE to determine the exact row, then using a value from that row?
Best wishes.
I have an assignment where I have two tables. Both of these two tables have multiple records that can be grouped by a certain ID creating record sets within those two tables
Those record sets can have various number of records. The trick is I have to compare those two tables and compare them by those record sets. If one record set ordered by update date (one of the record fields) doesn't find an identical record set in another table, I have to output that record set
What is the best way to do it? How do I compare two different tables by record groups/record sets/record blocks?
Should I use sub-query factoring? Should I temporary tables? Should I use something else?
Thank you very much for your generous responses and please let me know if I made my question unclear
i guess you just need a minus query to show the differences.
If you use Toad there is a specific function. Or you can use the minus operator or read this other post link
I have a report which uses a dataset returned from a stored procedure. There are two key columns: Name and Value
I am using this dataset for two tablixes. The first is just a straightforward tablix displaying the data.
The second groups the data based on a Name column. I need to order this data based on the Sum of Value column
However I get the following error:
[rsAggregateInDataRowSortExpression] A
sort expression for the tablix
'table1' includes an aggregate
function. Aggregate functions cannot
be used in data row sort expressions.
Is there another way I can show the data grouped by name and still order it by Sum(Value)?
Instead of sorting on the tablix you need to sort against the row group. Remove the sort on the tablix and then go to the row group properties and put the same sort expression under the sorting section there, this should then work.
OK, I just had to add an extra column for the the Sum value to my query and then use that. Not ideal, but it works
