Using CFQUERY and CFSELECT to pull multiple values based on selection - variables

I have a CFQUERY pulling three columns. The following CFSELECT allows the user to make a selection from various results based on the 'display' parameter, and sets the value to the 'value' parameter.
I would like to pass the third unused value of that record to a variable to be used in a later query. I cannot set the 'value' field to the column I need since that value is needed in a query following this one (queries populate based on previous drop down selections).
Is there a way to do this? To somehow have the CFSELECT grab 2 separate values?
SubRegionName is Displayed.
State is the value to pass.
SubRegionCD for this selection made is needed later.
Code example below:
<cfquery name="qrySubTurf"
DATASOURCESTUFF>
SELECT SubRegionName, SubRegionCd, State
From dbo.tblRegions
where Region='#form.getRegion#' <!---Previous CFSELCT value--->
order by SubRegionName
</cfquery>
<cfselect name="getSubTurf"
style="width:220px"
size=1
multiple="no"
query="qrySubTurf"
value="state" <!---Value passed to the next CFQUERY--->
display="SubRegionName" <!---Value displayed to user--->
queryPosition="below"
onChange="AddForm.submit();">
<option value=""></option>
</cfselect>
Now I need to grab the SubRegionCD associated with the users selection of State and SubRegionName and assign it to a variable that can be used in the final query. I cannot use State alone to determine the SubRegionCD, but I CAN use SubRegionName to make a 1-1 match. Help?

Simplest (in terms of littlest-possible code change) would be to do:
<cfquery name="qrySubTurf"
DATASOURCESTUFF>
SELECT SubRegionName, SubRegionCd + ',' + State AS Key
From dbo.tblRegions
where Region=<cfqueryparam value="#form.getRegion#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR">
order by SubRegionName
</cfquery>
<cfselect name="getSubTurf"
style="width:220px"
size=1
multiple="no"
query="qrySubTurf"
value="Key"
display="SubRegionName"
queryPosition="below"
onChange="AddForm.submit();">
<option value=""></option>
</cfselect>
And then use ListFirst(FORM.getSubTurf) and ListLast(FORM.getSubTurf). Also, don't forget to use <cfqueryparam>.

To maintain the query result across pages you have to split the value returned to the form's action page ... this is was the answer suggested ... <cfqueryparam value ="#ListFirst(form.***)#>

Dynamic ASSIGN of table row expression

In my ABAP report I have some structure:
data:
begin of struct1,
field1 type char10,
end of struct1.
I can access to it's field field1 directly:
data(val) = struct1-field1
or dynamically with assign:
assign ('struct1-field1') to field-symbol(<val>).
Also I have some internal table:
data: table1 like standard table of struct1 with default key.
append initial line to table1.
I can access to column field1 of first row directly:
data(val) = table1[ 1 ]-field1.
But I can not get access to field1 with dynamic assign:
assign ('table1[ 1 ]-field1') to field-symbol(<val>).
After assignment sy-subrc equals "4".
Why?
The syntax of ASSIGN (syntax1) ... is not the same as the syntax of the Right-Hand Side (RHS) of assignments ... = syntax2.
The syntax for ASSIGN is explained in the documentation of ASSIGN (variable_containing_name) ... or ASSIGN ('name') ... (chapter 1. (name) of page ASSIGN - dynamic_dobj).
Here is an abstract of what is accepted:
"name can contain a chain of names consisting of component selectors [(-)]"
"the first name [can be] followed by an object component selector (->)"
"the first name [can be] followed by a class component selector (=>)"
No mention of table expressions, so they are forbidden. Same for meshes...
Concerning the RHS of assignments, as described in the documentation, it can be :
Data Objects
They can be attributes or components using selectors -, ->, =>, which can be chained multiple times (see Names for Individual Operands
Return values or results of functional methods, return values or results of built-in functions and constructor expressions, or return values or results of table expressions
Results of calculation expressions
Sandra is absolutely right, if table expressions are not specified in help, then they are not allowed.
You can use ASSIGN COMPONENT statement for your dynamicity:
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <tab> TYPE INDEX TABLE.
ASSIGN ('table1') TO <tab>.
ASSIGN COMPONENT 'field1' OF STRUCTURE <tab>[ 1 ] TO FIELD-SYMBOL(<val>).
However, such dynamics is only possible with index tables (standard + sorted) due to the nature of this version of row specification. If you try to pass hashed table into the field symbol, it will dump.

TSQL - Need to query a database column which is populated by XML

TSQL - Need to query a database column which is populated by XML.
The Database has an iUserID column with an Application ID and VCKey
TxtValue is the Column name and the contained Data is similar to this
<BasePreferencesDataSet xmlns="http://tempuri.org/BasePreferencesDataSet.xsd">
<ViewModesTable>
<iViewID>1</iViewID>
</ViewModesTable>
<ViewMode_PreferenceData>
<iViewID>1</iViewID>
<iDataID>0</iDataID>
<strValue>False</strValue>
</ViewMode_PreferenceData>
<ViewMode_PreferenceData>
<iViewID>1</iViewID>
<iDataID>5</iDataID>
<strValue>True</strValue>
</ViewMode_PreferenceData>
<ViewMode_PreferenceData>
<iViewID>1</iViewID>
<iDataID>6</iDataID>
<strValue>True</strValue>
</ViewMode_PreferenceData>
<ViewMode_PreferenceData>
<iViewID>1</iViewID>
<iDataID>4</iDataID>
<strValue>False</strValue>
I want to be able to identify any iUserID in which the StrValue for iDataID's 5 and 6 are not set to True.
I have attempted to use a txtValue Like % statement but even if I copy the contents and query for it verbatim it will not yield a result leading me to believe that the XML data cannot be queried in this manner.
Screenshot of Select * query for this DB for reference
You can try XML-method .exist() together with an XPath with predicates:
WITH XMLNAMESPACES(DEFAULT 'http://tempuri.org/BasePreferencesDataSet.xsd')
SELECT *
FROM YourTable
WHERE CAST(txtValue AS XML).exist('/BasePreferencesDataSet
/ViewMode_PreferenceData[iDataID=5 or iDataID=6]
/strValue[text()!="True"]')=1;
The namespace-declaration is needed to address the elements without a namespace prefix.
The <ViewMode_PreferenceData> is filtered for the fitting IDs, while the <strValue> is filtered for a content !="True". This will return any data row, where there is at least one entry, with an ID of 5 or 6 and a value not equal to "True".
So without sample data (including tags; sorry you're having trouble with that) it's tough to craft the complete query, but what you're looking for is XQuery, specifically the .exists method in T-SQL.
Something like
SELECT iUserID
FROM tblLocalUserPreferences
WHERE iApplicationID = 30
AND vcKey='MonitorPreferences'
AND (txtValue.exist('//iDataID[text()="5"]/../strValue[text()="True"]') = 0
OR txtValue.exist('//iDataID[text()="6"]/../strValue[text()="True"]')=0)
This should return all userID's where either iDataID 5 or 6 do NOT contain True. In other words, if both are true, you won't get that row back.

Like Clause over an 'Element' - ORACLE APEX

I encounter some problems that i don't understand with APEX.... Well, let's be specific.
I ve got a select element retrieving a top 50 of most liked url (P11_URL). This is populate by a table view, TOp_Domains.
I create an element called "Context" that have to print all text containing the URL selected by the user from the element select. Those Texts come from another table, let's say "twitter_post".
I create a dynamic action (show only) with this sql/statement:
Select TXT, NB_RT, RANK
from myschema.twitter_post
where TXT like '%:P11_URL%'
group by TXT, NB_RT, RANK
.... and it doesn't work... I think APEX don't like like clause... But i don't know how to do. Let's keep in min an url could have been shared by multiple Tweets, that's why this element "context" is important for me.
I tried to bypass the problem by building a State (in french Statique) and a dynamic action that will refresh the state but it doesn't work neither... bouhououououou
TriX
Right click on the 'P11_URL' and create DA. Event :change, Item:P11_URL. As the true action of the DA, select 'Set Value'. Write your query in the sql stmt area. In the page items to submit, select 'P11_URL' . In the 'Affected Items': select 'Context'.
Query should be :
Select TXT, NB_RT, RANK
from myschema.twitter_post
where TXT like '%' || :P11_URL || '%'
group by TXT, NB_RT, RANK
So
Thanks to #Madona... Their example made me realised my mistake. I wrote the answer here for futher help if somebody encouter the same porblem.
A list select element get as arguments a display value (the one you want to be shown in your screen.... if you want so....^^ ) and a return value (in order, I think to linked dynamic actions). So to solved my problem i had to shape my sql statement as:
select hashtags d, hastags r
from my table
order by 1
[let s say that now in Apex it s an object called P1_HASHTAGS]
First step problem solving.
In fact, the ranking as second value, as i put into my sql statement was making some mitsakens into my 'Where like' clause search... well... Newbie am i!
Second step was to correctly formate the sql statement receiving the datas from my select lov (P1_HASHTAGS) into my interactive report. As shown here:
Select Id, hashtags
from my table
where txt like '%'||:P1_HASHTAGS||'%'
And it works!
Thank you Madona your example helped me figure my mistakes!

UPDATE QUERY - Sum up a value from form with value from table

I've just started using microsoft access so I don't really know how to solve this. I would like to use an update query to add a value from a form to a value on a table.
I originally used the SUM expression which gave me an error saying it was an aggregate function.
I also tried to add the two values together (e.g [field1] + [field2]) which as a result gave me a value with both numbers together instead of adding them together.
The following is the SQL I'm using:
UPDATE Votes
SET Votes.NumVotes = [Votes]![NumVotes]+[Forms]![frmVote]![txtnumvotes]
WHERE (((Votes.ActID) = [Forms]![frmVote]![combacts])
AND ((Votes.RoundNum) = [Forms]![frmVote]![combrndnum]))
I want to add a value [txtnumvotes] a form to a field [NumVotes] from the table [Votes].
Could someone please help me?
You can specify the expected data type with parameters:
PARAMETERS
[Forms]![frmVote]![txtnumvotes] Short,
[Forms]![frmVote]![combacts] Long,
[Forms]![frmVote]![combrndnum] Long;
UPDATE
Votes
SET
Votes.NumVotes = [Votes]![NumVotes]+[Forms]![frmVote]![txtnumvotes]
WHERE
(((Votes.ActID) = [Forms]![frmVote]![combacts])
AND
((Votes.RoundNum) = [Forms]![frmVote]![combrndnum]))
Without the specification, Access has to guess, and that sometimes fails.

yadcf filter with select tag inside column

I have a table (using datatables framwork) which contains in a column tag. I mean that content of this columns looks like this:
<td>
<select class="form-control attendance_select" data-id_player="130">
<option value="-1">No</option>
<option value="0" selected="">No answer</option>
<option value="1">Yes</option>
</select>
</td>
When I use yadcf column filter and try to search only columns wih "Yes" as selected options in this select, it doesn't work because every rows contains "Yes" in html code.
Can you please help me, how to set yadcf for solving this issue if it's possible?
Thank you
You probably need to define filter type "custom_func" and specify a custom filter function for your column.
From inline docs: (reformatted explanation )
custom_func
Required: true, when filter_type is custom_func
Type: function
Default value: undefined
Description: should be pointing to a function with the following signature
function myCustomFilterFunction(filterVal, columnVal, rowValues, stateVal) {
}
where filterVal: is the value from the select box,
columnVal is the value from the relevant row column,
rowValues is an array that holds the values of
the entire row and
stateVal which holds the current state of the
table row DOM
, stateVal is perfect to handle situations in which you placing radiobuttons / checkbox inside table column (should be suitable for your case of select.
This function should return true if the row matches your condition and the row should be displayed) and false otherwise.
