[Rlib-users] Using report variables to calculate subtotals in xml side

[Al A. <aa...@ge...>]

Hello,

I'm having trouble grasping how to implement report variables, break 
headers, and output them in xml.

Consider I have the following output:

<Detail>
/.../

<FieldDetails>
	<Output>
		<Line bgcolor="iif(r.detailcnt%2,'0xe5e5e5','white')">
			<field value="r.field1" width="10" align="left" col="1"/>
			<literal width="1"/>
			<field value="r.field2" width="10" align="center" col="2"/>
			<literal width="1"/>
			<field value="val(r.field3)" format="'$%.2d'" width="35" 
align="left" col="3"/>
		</Line>
		<HorizontalLine size="4" bgcolor="'white'"/>
	</Output>
</FieldDetails>

</Detail>

And I want r.field3 to be summed up and have a subtotal displayed at 
the end of this output.  First, where do I put the following line to 
calculate the subtotal?
	<Variable name="r.subtotal" value="r.total_fees" type="sum" />
Do I place it between the <FieldDetails> tags?

And then, where and how can I display the actual subtotal?  The syntax 
would be very much like this, right?  I'd like it to align with the 
column 3 referenced between the Detail tags.
				<field value="r.subtotal" width="10" align="right" col="3"/>

Re: [Rlib-users] merging two fields

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Use the "+" sign.

field1 + field2

Or:
field1 + ' ' + field2

or whatever

[Rlib-users] merging two fields

[Al A. <aa...@ge...>]

Short of doing it on the query side, is there a way to concatenate fields
together on the xml side?

[Rlib-users] Re: passing a variable

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

If you define a global variable in php like:

$test = 5;

You can access it rlib using "m."

So in this case it's "m.test"

RE: [Rlib-users] rlib_add_datasource_odbc arguments in 1.3.1

[Al A. <aa...@ge...>]

But will this address the problem with making rlib-odbc calls to a mysql
database?  This particular issue seems like a race condition, where the
mechanism to print the data is unable to grab the first three rows of the
result set.  But since it knows how many rows to output, the final three
rows of the result set are merely copies of the final row.

Derek,

I think I know whats going on, someone reported this before but
disappeared while in the middle of debugging the problem.

Oracle does not implement SQLRowCount.  I think I can write the ODBC
connector w/ out this or perhaps you want to give it a shot
(rlib/inputs/odbc/odbc.c)

How's your c?

1st No one has wanted it yet

2nd It's a little trickier to implement in a generic way because in c
you don't know the bounds of the array.

3rd It's easy to implement a input custom provider.

You need to implement these methods: (rlib_input.h)

typedef struct input_filter input_filter;
struct input_filter {
	gpointer private;
	struct input_info info;
	gint (*input_close)(gpointer);
	gpointer (*new_result_from_query)(gpointer, gchar *);
	gint (*free)(gpointer);
	gint (*first)(gpointer, gpointer);
	gint (*next)(gpointer, gpointer);
	gint (*previous)(gpointer, gpointer);
	gint (*last)(gpointer, gpointer);
	gint (*isdone)(gpointer, gpointer);
	const gchar * (*get_error)(gpointer);
	gchar * (*get_field_value_as_string)(gpointer, gpointer, gpointer);
	gpointer (*resolve_field_pointer)(gpointer, gpointer, gchar *);
	void (*free_result)(gpointer, gpointer);	
	gint (*set_encoding)(gpointer);
};

See MySQL, ODBC, PostgreeSQL as example. Other people have posted to the
list input providers (someone did a XML but didn't sign the
copyright :( )

Then you call
rlib_add_datasource(r, "SOME_NAME", input);

And away you go.

I can modify this and test it, but I don't know how much this will dig into
other aspects of my project. (Perhaps this aligns perfectly with my
project.)

I have one more query. PHP in 1.3.1 has access to rlib_add_datasource_array,
which allows locally stored data to be used in a report, but C in the same
version does not. Is this function available in 1.3.2 API?

RE: [Rlib-users] rlib_add_datasource_odbc arguments in 1.3.1

[Derek G. <dgi...@ge...>]

Bob--

Thanks for the tip on the function. Unfortunately, there is a disconnect
between the function signatures in the documentation and in the example code
provided in the package.

> What's a DSN?

Data Source Name.

> And what database are you going to use.  They all don't implement ODBC the
same

The project will join data in a local mysql database with a remote Oracle
database via EasySoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge.

As of this writing, I can generate HTML and PDF files based on a query that
is looking for data in a column through the ODBC connection, but the files
are only generating one row's worth of data when I should see around 250
rows. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Running code that uses the
Bridge API directly yields all of the rows while RLIB only gives me one.

I've also seen behavior where a connection to mysql ODBC using the ODBC-ODBC
Bridge yields more usable data, but the first three rows are gone while the
last four rows repeat the same data. Is there a race condition in both of
these instances?

Cheers,
--Derek

Re: [Rlib-users] rlib_add_datasource_odbc arguments in 1.3.1

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

The input name is used later when you add queries to RLIB.

RLIB can use multiple datasources at a time(mysql, odbc, postgresql,
ect)

Or multiple of the same.. say a mysql db on server X and a mysqldb on
server Y

rlib_add_query_as(INPUT NAME (from the datasource), query string, query
name);

What's a DSN?

And what database are you going to use.  They all don't implement ODBC
the same

[Rlib-users] rlib_add_datasource_odbc arguments in 1.3.1

[Derek G. <dgi...@ge...>]

All--

The documentation says nothing about the new parameter input_name added to
rlib_add_datasource_odbc in version 1.3.1. Could someone in the know please
enlighten me as to what I should do with the new parameter? Also, how could
I leverage this function call against an ODBC library that uses a
configuration file to get the complete information about a DSN?

I am using RLIB 1.3.1 on a FreeBSD host that has been configured with
EasySoft's ODBC-ODBC Bridge (OOB) ODBC library. I would prefer if I can
bypass the OOB API altogether and use only the RLIB API in my code.

We will try to recompile RLIB 1.3.1 against the OOB ODBC library. This would

because RLIB is cute like that.

[Rlib-users] External ResultSet into RLIB

[Derek G. <dgi...@ge...>]

All--

I am testing RLIB 1.3.1 and EasySoft's ODBC-ODBC Bridge (OOB) on a FreeBSD
host. My goal is to take a ResultSet from the OOB API and plug that into
RLIB -- effectively bypassing RLIB's API for getting a ResultSet via ODBC.

Is this possible?

Cheers,
--Derek

Hey Bob,

Ok, could you do it please? :) On a related note, currently the link 
attribute for Field puts the entire width of the field content into the 
<a href> -- including the spacers that fill out the width if the text 
isn't long enough. This ends up looking pretty bad in html. Ideally the 
<a href> would only wrap the text, and then the spaces would be tacked 
on after that. Any possibility of that fix getting squeezed in as well?

Thanks,
Shannon

Re: [Rlib-users] link attribute in literals element

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Shannon,

It seems the documentation is not correct and the link feature on text
is not implemented.  

If you wanted to make it work you would have to hit:
rlib.h
parsexml.c
resolution.c
free.c
layout.c

Or just as me to do it.. (it's only a 5 minute job)

[Rlib-users] link attribute in literals element

[Shannon W. <we...@ro...>]

The current docs mention the 'link' attribute for the Literals (and 
Field) element, which should make the content a URL link. This doesn't 
appear to be working for Literals (it's ignored). I've only seen the 
link attribute in the Field element in the examples -- and it appears to 
work properly there.

I haven't dug into the code on this yet - is this an error in the docs, 
or am I doing something wrong? I'd volunteer to add it if it's on the 
TODO. Since it's working for the Field tag, I'd imagine it's not too 
hard to add (hopefully).

Thanks,
Shannon

Re: [Rlib-users] rlib on that other OS

[markpa <ma...@us...>]

Bob, yes its Windows that I'm working with, though I'm sure the BSD 
sites would be equally happy to be able to make use of rlib.
