SQL Developer - automatically refresh a query - oracle-sqldeveloper

Is there a way to automatically refresh my own query in Oracle SQL Developer?
Something like Tools/Monitor Sessions.../Refresh but for any provided query.

Yes, turn your query into a user defined report.
You can right-click on your query result grid in the worksheet -
Then if you want a new one, i'd just keep the one and edit the report properties for your new query.
Doesn't have to be a grid either - you can have a report of type script. Or use charts. Or a lot more.

Oracle BI: how can i retrieve another result list from current result list

I am using Oracle Business Intellgience (12c) and let's say I have a report resulted from an execution of the following query
select code_filial, max(paid) as maximum_pay
from leads_history
group by code_filial
It will return a table with highest budget value related to the each filial. Now what i want is the following: when i click to max(paid) result in a table, another table should appear with the information about max(paid) account. I tried master-detail relationship, but couldn't succeed.
Can anyoune help with that?
That's out-of-the-box functionality. As soon as you make a navigation action link to another analysis where your code_filial is set to "is prompted" the context will be passed and the analysis filtered.

Get List of Values (LOV) from sql query in JasperReport

In Oracle Reports I am able to run reports which get parameters by querying from database. In PHP/mySQL I am able to populate data in HTML dropdown menu by using sql query.
I would like to do the same in my JasperReports, either using JasperReport Studio or using JasperReport Server input controls. The current LOV I am able to get using JReport 'Input Controls' makes me enter options manually.
This is what I am trying to explain in words:
You can do this with an Input Control in JasperServer. When in the Create Input Control page of the wizard choose a Type of Single-select Query. This will enable you to enter a SQL query so you can provide a list of options from the database.
There is also a Multi-select Query alternative.

Using Select query, nothing merges onto Crystal report

I have a Crystal template that I am modifying in developer because we are changing the datasource from an Access file to our Oracle DB. I created a database field that accurately connects to Oracle and added a select statement that because pulls a field from a particular table
select s.field from table s;
On the right hand side, under database fields, I see my command and can right click and browse the data, which right now returns two values.
I also made a formula field using an Azalea barcode function that calls the values (I think, this is where stuff is going wrong, I guess)
The formula field is
BarcodeC39ASCII({Command.field})
So this should take the data and format it into the barcode, except when I use print preview or print out the report, no data is merged.
I've tested this by creating a new formula field with just the Command.field, and still no data is merged. I imagine there is something really obvious that I am missing and would appreciate any input.
So unless I misunderstood your question, you are changing your datasource from Access DB to Oracle DB, correct? Assuming that the database structure remains the same then all you should need to do is go into Database -> Set Datasource Location and set the datasource location from the Access DB to the Oracle DB and your existing report should work as it did. You might have to map some fields, but that should be the extend of it. Is that what you are trying to do?

Generating all 'data dictionary' reports under each 'object' in postgres

I have a database with about 50 something tables. I would like to run the report "Data Dictionary" on each table.
Ideally, I would like them all to be in one report, for example, in PGAdminIII, if I right click select "Tables" I will get a report of all the 'objects' and under each one a data dictionary report.
Is there an automatic way of doing this, or an plugin that I can install to postgres? Or is there something analogous to this?
If I understand correctly, you're referring to the ability to right mouse click on a table in PgAdminIII and select Reports > Data Dictionary report?
I'm not aware of any way to do that from PgAdminIII. You could look into using a different tool such as SchemaSpy. Another option (as alluded to by #kgrittn) is to use psql \d with the \H flag to generate html output. My solution (since SchemaSpy didn't do what I needed, and I needed the same output for both Postgres and Oracle) was to roll my own using perl, DBD::Pg and Template::Toolkit.
Update: Added GitHub link.
I wrote a fairly simple Postgres data dictionary generator in Python that spans all schemas and tables within a specified database. If it doesn't have exactly what you want it would be fairly easy to modify.

Selection Formula Pass-through not working with SQL Command Object

I'm using Crystal Reports XI. We use Crystal Reports embedded into a share point site written in C#/ASP.net. Our web developers instatiate a report in code and pass the selection criteria by appending to the Select Formula object.
The problem I'm running in to is that when I use a SQL Command Object, the selection formula is not being passed to the sql server as a where clause. This causes the entire result set to be queried and then limited on the server. For very large tables, this is causing a significant performance hit.
Here's an example:
SELECT foo.id, foo.code, foo.name
FROM foo foo
Select criteria is shown as:
{Command.name} like "someName"
If I then run the report the entire foo table is queried and then crystal reports limits from the entire set.
If instead I do it based on the table without a command object, the WHERE clause is appended to the sql query and all the limiting is done at the db level.
I'm assuming this occurs because a SQL command could potentially be very complex and adding a WHERE clause to the bottom isn't always possible. My question then, is there any good way to force some sort of pass through. Should I be talking to the C# devs and asking them to rework the way we pass parameters?
Thanks for any help and discussions.
A record-selection formula is never added to the Command-object's query.
I'm not certain if the CR SDK supports Command object modification (I know it supports read-only access, however).
The Command object does support parameters (in 2008, they can be multi-valued parameters) which can be accessed programmatically (they are converted to Parameter Fields in the report).
I'm assuming that you are using a Command object because of the query's complexity. If you can push the complexity to a SQL view, then use the 'visual linking' expert to create your query, you'll have more flexibility.
