Facing very strange issue regarding PL/SQL function call from VBA and Output of same on Oracle SQL Developer. Both seems to vary by a lot. Please go through the attached screen shots. 1st Image shows the VBA output.
Here is the output which I get on ORACLE SQL Developer
More strange thing here is, This error I am facing only for few FSYM_IDs not all. For others its coming very much precise.
I did see the following question
Similar Question
There user had mentioned about hash joins but I haven't used any sort of hash joins at all.
I have used ADO and Range.CopyFromRecordSet to fetch data into excel. Executed the same exact query which is
select FSYM_ID, CURRENT_FY, ROUND(VALUATION_PB_HIGH,0), ROUND(VALUATION_PB_LOW,0) from table(PRICE2BV('07BR8Q-R'))
into excel and oracle sql developer.
I have updated the SQL Developer screenshot. Difference is in the particular years high and low value. I have highlighted that in the SQL developer output.
Additional things about Oracle PL/SQL functions are
Function returns data from global temporary table.
Variables used are of type number or varchar only.
Input to the function is identifier for the company only.
I have tried to retrieve output using table also but no use.
I have even tried the approach of GetRows mentioned on following link.
SQL Query output in VBA is different than in SQL Oracle
One thing I observed regarding recordset is that==> Values are different when I query from VBA and Oracle SQL Developer.
Please help me regarding same.

When trying to do an SQL injection on an Oracle SQL database I have the problem that most of the examples in the tutorials do not work. I already found out that I only can use CASE WHEN a THEN b ELSE c END instead of normal if statements.
The question I have now is how do I get time delay into the injection? Benchmark() and sleep() do not work either.
I already now that the table is named "flag" and the field name I want to read out is named "password".
My only information i get from the database is the time it needed to execute my input (or query since I bypass the input to inject SQL)
I found the following SQL statement on the web at SQL Injection Tutorial
select dbms_pipe.receive_message(('a'),10) from dual;
I am not certain I should be participating in this sort of thing, but since I found it with my first Google Search, I will go ahead and post it.
I tested it and it delayed the result by 10 seconds.
I am currently working on a project of replacing our old access database queries, but on one of them I am not able to view the actual SQL View.
Does anyone know a way to force the view or to export it somehow?
Error causing problem:
The SQL statement could not be executed because it contains ambiguous outer joins.
Note that I can view the Design View without issue but when I right click on the tab and select SQL View is when I get the error.
I did attempt what #LeeMac mentioned below but same error occurs:
EDIT:
This question is not like Ambiguous Outer Joins?
The OP on that question can actually see and edit their SQL.
My issues is that I cannot see or edit the SQL as the SQL View wont open.
Try executing the following VBA code from the Immediate Window (accessible using Ctrl+G) in the VBA IDE (open the IDE using Alt+F11):
?CurrentDb.QueryDefs("YourQuery").SQL
Replace YourQuery with the name of your query.
This should print the SQL code which comprises your query - you can then analyse the SQL to determine the cause of the error.
It's odd this error would arise when merely viewing the SQL content of the query definition.
It makes me think that the query is perhaps referencing a crosstab subquery which is actually the cause of the error, but which needs to be evaluated in order for MS Access to determine the columns available when viewing the design of the query in question.
Try this:
hit ctrl-g, and from immediate window type in this:
saveastext acQuery,"Name of query","c:\test\mysql.txt"
Access ordinarily doesn't allow you to save invalid queries, so it's strange you somehow got into this situation in the first place.
If you can copy the query, you can easily get to the SQL by changing the query to a passthrough query, either through the GUI or through VBA:
Dim q As DAO.QueryDef
Set q = CurrentDb.QueryDefs!Query1
q.Connect = "ODBC;"
Debug.Print q.SQL
Passthrough queries are not validated, so you can freely read and write anything you want as SQL in it.
Note that this is irreversible when done through VBA. You can only change it back to a normal query once you made the SQL valid again. If you do it through the GUI, you can just not save it, though.
I had this problem and the issue was that i had a subquery that calculated fields but did not actually have a table in it. for example it would calculate first and last day of last month which is 2 calculated fields, then it was the first query in a series of queries that were built off it and the last one wouldnt resolve sql as original poster indicated also gave the ambiguous join message as well as query needs input table (which was that first subquery). i put a table with 1 record in it but didnt use the record and it worked.... so it just a needs a table in it.
I have been tasked with creating a method to copy the contents of an entire database to a central database. There are a number of source databases, all in Access. I've managed to copy the majority of the tables properly, 1:1. I'm using VBScript and ADO to copy the data. It actually works surprisingly well, considering that it's Access.
However
I have 3 tables that include subdatasheets (to those that don't know, a subdatasheet is a visual representation of a 1 to many relationship. You can see related records in another table inside the main table). When My script runs, I get an error. "No value given for one or more required parameters." When I open Access and try to run the same query that I've written in SQL, It pops up message boxes asking for parameters.
If I use the query wizard inside Access to build the select query, no parameters are required and I get no subdatasheet in the result set.
My question is this: how do I write a vanilla SQL query in my VBScript that does not require parameters and just gives me the data that I want?
I've tried copying the SQL from Access and running it through my VBScript and that doesn't seem to do the trick.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
As it turns out, you need to make sure that you've spelled all of the field names properly in your source query. If you've included additional fields that aren't actually in the source or destination table they'll need to be removed too.
I faced a situation and also searched for it in the internet but could not be able to get any solution.
Problem
My sql server table has 15000 records. It has several columns.
Among all the records, the 'Email ID' column of one record is storing value along with an unidentified character at the beginning. (Please refer to picture attached)
What I want
I want to get rid of that character using sql query. I am using sql server 2012 version.
I tried with 'replace()' and 'patindex()'. I even tried 'stuff' function.
But, its not working. Instead, when I am fetching the data using query, it is showing that typical character.
Please help me with some ideas. If I need to do some settings in database or table, I am ready for that.
Thanks.
I want to use the "split" function in a simple query on my SSRS 2008 report. However, I get an error "Query execution failed for dataset "SlsmRealNum". "Split" is not a recognized built-in function name". But it's listed as a common function (text) if I open up the Expression box on the query, so not sure why it's failing?
my simple select statement is:
select slsm_num, slsm_msid from Salesman where slsm_msid = split(User.UserID,"\").GetValue(1)
right now to get the report to work, I have one parameter (SlsmnNum) that has the Split expression in it (to get the MSID of the user) and then a 2nd parameter that uses the above query in the Dataset Salesrepum using the #SlsmnNum parameter as the MSID. I'd like to not have to have 2 parapmeters if possible and just get the actualy salesrep # in just one. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Your select statement is executed as SQL so the error you are getting is actually from SQL server. This may be where you are getting confused.
There are two components to SSRS - SQL Statements and Report Expressions. Typically, SQL statements are used to generate datasets by querying the database. Report expressions are used to organize, aggregate, and filter the dataset once obtained from the SQL database. Since the SQL statement is executed IN the SQL database, only the functions that are in the database are available. The code you posted is a SQL statement not a Report Expression.
For example, you can't take a Report Expression and expect it to work in SSMS? No, because they are two different entities with wholly different syntax and purpose. When it comes to using built-in SSRS functions inside a SQL statement it will not work, the database has no concept of what the built in User.UserId is and as such you must use a parameter to transport the value over to the SQL query. This is definition and purpose of a parameter and why they exist.
Split is a function in SSRS which is why you see it in your expression reference, however, it is not a function in SQL. The code you posted is SQL syntax, so I am betting that this is the SQL statement that you are using to obtain your dataset. Therefore the query fails since the SQL DB does not have a Split Function.
You can add this split function to your database and the code is located here: Split String in SQL. You could also use something along the following in your where clause, the following is your updated SQL statement.
SELECT slsm_num, slsm_msid from Salesman where slsm_msid = SUBSTRING(#UserId, PATINDEX('%\%', #UserId), LEN(#UserId))
You would set the #UserId parameter's value to an expression of User!UserID rather than specifying it in your select statement.
The SSRS expression examples have a function similar to what your code is trying to accomplish if you were wanting the same thing in the report side. The function you are looking for is InStr(). On your report side you could use something along the lines of:
=Parameters!User.Value.Substring(Parameters!User.Value.IndexOf("\")+1, Parameters!User.Value.Length-Parameters!User.Value.IndexOf("\")-1)
Expression examples can be found here: MSDN Expression examples.
