Parameter and SQL Query question. [message #208304]

Has anyone done this before?
User wants to enter multiple values or select multiple values from a
drop down box. I can change the SQL query to use the IN operator-
something like "ColumnA in (list of values)". How do I link the multiple
list of the values in the WHERE clause to the user selections?
Any suggestions?

I don't know if this helps but I kinda had the same question and received
the below answer.

You could use property binding to make your sql text dynamically at
runtime:
"Select "+ params["param1"] +
" from users where ur_id=123"
Then you can pass what you want by report parameter params["param1"] into
your query.

Hi Ram,
Can you give me more detail about this?
Are you creating a runtime report?

Ram,

There are several ways to do this. In the default BIRT viewer, you can
set the parameter to be comma delimited (or whatever), then override the
fetch method for the dataset and get a result set for each value, or you
can just create a dynamic query as outlined in the Birt Helpfile (BIRT
Field Guide to Reporting/Retrieving Data/How to define a dynamic query).

If you want a multi-select listbox or combo-box, you will need to use an
external form to get that data. You can then use your application server
to parse the paraemters and pass off to BIRT as a GET request.

Thanks John. I was thinking about something along those lines. But
wondered if there was an easier way.

Sir,

I tried creating dynamic query for passing Multiple Values to
Single Parameter as told by you ,but i am unable to do so,

My query is

"select custname from customer where custname in '"+params["cusname"]+"'"

and you had said another way, that is set the Parameter to be comma
delimited,
how to make a Parameter to be comma delimited ?,if you elaborate this way
further it will be useful for me,
I struck up with this problem for quite some time.

Thankyou
Harikrishnan J.

Hi there,

I think what john means by comma delimited parameters is to have the user
enter the multiple values for a parameter by seperating them with
columns.Otherwise there is no other way to accomplish multiple values for
a parameter if you are using the BIRT Viewer.
