Dear All,

I am having a little issue with the dataset when it comes to nested mysql select statements.

I am currently using BIRT 3.7 shipped with Eclipse Indigo and the MySql Driver version is mysql-connector-java-5.1.17-bin.jar

I currently have 3 tables: tblMember, tblCountries and tblLoan with the structure below:

--------------
tblMember
-------------
MPK (ID)
CountryFK
--------------


---------------
tblCountries
---------------
TID (ID)
---------------


---------------
tblLoan
---------------
LPK (ID)
MFK
---------------

tblCountries has one to many on tblMember and tblMember has one to many on tblLoan

I edit my dataset and i can create a simple select statement that will return all members from the table tblMember joined to their countries in tblCountries. Also, in a nested select, i want to get the count of loans for each member. The sql is as follows:

SELECT `dbDB`.`tblcountries`.`CountryName`,
`dbDB`.`tblmember`.MPK, `dbRSSB`.`tblmember`.`MName`,
(SELECT COUNT(LPK) FROM `dbRSSB`.`tblLoan` WHERE MFK = `dbRSSB`.`tblmember`.MPK) AS X
FROM
`dbRSSB`.`tblmember` LEFT OUTER JOIN `dbRSSB`.`tblcountries` ON `dbRSSB`.`tblmember`.`CountryFK` = `dbRSSB`.`tblcountries`.TID

When i right click on the sql and i choose the menu: Run Sql, the query works fine and i can even view the results in the Sql Results tab pane.

Yet, when i want to save the dataset and when i click on ok, i get a popup with the following message:

cannot get the result set metadata
org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc.JDBCException: SQL Statement does not return a resultSet object
Sql error#1: you have an error in your sql syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your mysql server version for the right syntax to use near ') AS X FROM `dbRSSB`.`tblmember` LEFT OUTER JOIN `dbRSSB`.`tblcountries` at line 9;
...
Reason: BIRT Exception occured

Ok, at first it seemed that maybe my MySql server ( version 5.5.8 ) does not support the sql. But when i copy paste it in mysql query browser, the syntax is valid and the result set matches the one that BIRT returned when i did Run Sql.

Its quite awkward.. Am i doing something wrong here? Is there another way to do these select statements in BIRT??

Could anyone please advise me here? I am really stuck on that part..
Any help would be most welcomed..

Thanks in advance
Karvesh

Are you using the JDBC Database Connection for Query Builder or the
textual JDBC Data Source?

Dear Jason

sorry for late reply

I am using the JDBC connector.. I am finding it almost impossible to make the nested selects..

Could you please advise me here?

Thanks in advance

Dear Jason

no worry
i managed to find out how to do it a neater way.
I used a nested table that binds its parameter to the outer table.
The nested table is then simply bound to a dataset that will do the nested sql statement

There is so much to discover from BIRT... Smile

Glad you got it working. BTW the way you ended up doing it is the best
approach.
