  Better to look at a function that returns a query, or use a hose to treat your cursor returned, because the APEX at the moment can NOT handle the sliders in reports...

  OPTION 2:

  Using the functions PIPLELINED and use in the select statement.  While I can use this select statement in the SQL query to create VO... and drag and drop the VO...

  Do you mean the scope of the defined Type pkg will be finished?

  I created guy outside the pkg as 'Create Type' if it works in this case?

  Yes, level objects schema (created with "create or replace type...") can be used in java and this can work.

  I think that then the scope of this TYPE will remain until the user session passes.

  Object definitions is not worn, but have their bodies.

  So, if you instantiate the data level object type schema in a plsql function, scope of this object is this function.

  Of course, if you instantiate the object as a variable package, then life of this object is equal to the lifetime of the package (which usually equals life of session db).

• Message box in function that returns a list deletes the created list... (Dialog box)

  Hello

  I work with a complex dialogue, its purpose is to manage a section in the PDF file.

  I use a "mclv" object in the dialog box to represent data entries in the PDF file in order to manage the result in another section.

  I created a function that creates the list based on a previous section in the PDF object, the function works perfectly well.

  But I have a small question, the function used to create the list of the dialog box object performs a check with the former front list created, as appropriate,

  and if in any case it is different from the old list, I need to warn the user that the list has changed and if there were any changes applied to the result it will be returned to zero and must be recreated.

  But when the poping that message box, all lists are deleted and nothing is displayed in the objects 'mclv.

  If I remove the message box, the lists are all very well...

  Is there anyone who have come across something like this before? If so, any solution to this problem?

  I asked my question a bit too quickly, I already found a work around

  But I still don't understand why he behaves like that tho...

  I just thought how to work around this problem.

  If anyone has encountered this problem can use this solution:

  Instead of having the message inside the function to return box, I declared a global Boolean variable to the Script object

  If the message box must be displayed, the Boolean value is set to True

  Once in the initialize event of the dialog box, if the value Boolean true I call the message box and reset the value Boolean false

• Go to a function that returns a Boolean

  Short version of the question: Boolean values can be returned by a pl/sql function?

  I've implemented a short function which returns a Boolean value; When I compile it I get an error:

  Error report:

  ORA-06550: line 5, column 32:

  PLS-00382: expression is of the wrong type

  ORA-06550: line 6, column 4:

  PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in the call to "PUT_LINE '.

  ORA-06550: line 6, column 4:

  PL/SQL: Statement ignored

  06550 00000 - "line %s, column % s:\n%s".

  * Cause: Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.

  * Action:

  The closest, I appealed

  
  

  RETURN sys.diutil.bool_to_int (< foo >);

  
  

  and then a caller script can call

  
  

  sys.diutil .int_to_bool (< bar >);

  at least this way there is no verification of the Boolean value of 'manual '.  Is it really the only way to return / call a Boolean?

  
  

  Thank you

  EDIT

  
  

  I was aware of the fact I had not provided examples of code - and was just one question fairly open. I hope that this example will show what does not work!

  
  

  I have a function that returns a Boolean value:

  
  

  create or replace

  FUNCTION myFunc (s_in IN VARCHAR2) RETURN a Boolean value

  IS

  s_out BOOLEAN: = TRUE;

  BEGIN

  RETURN s_out;

  END FUNCTION3;

  I try and call the function in the following script:

  DECLARE

  s_in varchar2 (20): = "Hello";

  s_out boolean;

  BEGIN

  SELECT myfunction (s_in) INTO s_out FROM DUAL;

  END;

  That's when I get the error. But sorry, I was looking for too many error messages! I have worked that the one I posted above is because put_line can accept only strings and numbers not Boolean, the mistake that this function returns is:

  ORA-06550: line 5, column 32:

  PLS-00382: expression is of the wrong type

  ORA-06550: line 5, column 11:

  PLS-00382: expression is of the wrong type

  06550 00000 - "line %s, column % s:\n%s".

  * Cause: Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.

  However, I suppose that the comment of Frank Kulash is perhaps the reason why I see this?

  Sure.  If you are having problems, post your code (both the function and some PL/SQL that calls it).

  The BOOLEAN data type exists only in PL/SQL, not in SQL, so if the function returns a BOOLEAN value, then you can't call it in a SQL statement, even if this SQL statement is used within PL/SQL.  For this reason, a lot of guys write functions that return a NUMBER (1 or 0) or a string (' t ' or 'F') rather than return a BOOLEAN value.

  Hello

  Welcome to Oracle and XML DB!

  After reviewing the documentation of oracle on the generation of xml data in the database, I managed to select normal tables and return a result xml exactly as I want:

  Have you also read about the SQL/XML functions?
  You don't have to create objects of type SQL to generate XML data.

  Using only XMLElement, XMLAgg, XMLAttributes, etc., you should be able to generate any kind of structure complex relational data and with total control over the names (which you don't have with the types of objects).
  Your example can be rewritten to:

  SELECT XMLElement("Parent",
           XMLAttributes(p.id as "Id")
         , XMLElement("Children",
             (
               SELECT XMLAgg(
                        XMLElement("Child",
                          XMLAttributes(
                            c.id as "Id"
                          , c.name as "Name"
                          )
                        )
                      )
               FROM child c
               WHERE c.parent_id = p.id
             )
           )
         )
  FROM parent p
  WHERE p.id = :parent_id ;

  Yes.
  Define the return as XMLType data type:
