• Data model - dynamic query with parameters

  Hi friends, is it possible to dynamically call a query using the parameters of the data models?
  
  I try to have a BEEP report with data model something like that
  
  Data model
  Param1
  
  Q1 = Select * from table 1
  Q2 = Select * from table 2
  
  If Param1 = X then
  FinalQuery = Q1
  On the other
  FinalQuery = Q2
  End
  
  Any help is greately appreciated.

• dynamic query problem

  Hello

  I am trying to understand the procedure and on the inside, I have a dynamic query with where clause:

  "Select."

  tables

  where 1 = 1

  and instr (decode (nvl (' | nvl(pCATEG,'') |))) (("*"), "*", pb.categ, upper (' | nvl(pCATEG,'') |), pb.categ) > 0'

  || NVL(pEMP_GROUP_CODE,'') |

  "and p.emp_group_code = g.emp_group_code';"

  For it, clause make sense (parameter pEMP_GROUP_CODE is not connected to any condition, or I missed something)?

  The procedure is works and connected to the application.

  Please notify

  Thank you

  Daniel

  Has been confused by "p.emp_group_code".

  What you see is probably a lexical parameter, for example the value passed on s pEMP_GROUP_CODE a condition itself as 'and table.column = 'constant', which can be zero, so if you have a value, it adds a condition, otherwise just empty space and the condition is spared.

• How to map Dynamic Query columns on variables of forms.

  Dear all,
  This is a correct code for executing a dynamic query and display data.
  In this program that I have defined variables ("BOLD" of police) later I binds these with the query (in the second code "BOLD").
  
  How I can map a column in the query, in which case I don't know that the surveyed fields type?
  
  
  
  GetData PROCEDURE IS
  EXEC_SQL connection_id. PORT;
  cursorID EXEC_SQL. CURSTYPE;
  sqlstr VARCHAR2 (1000);
  
  loc_ename VARCHAR2 (30);
  loc_eno NUMBER;
  loc_hiredate DATE;
  
  nIgn PLS_INTEGER;
  
  BEGIN
  connection_id: = EXEC_SQL. DEFAULT_CONNECTION;
  cursorID: = EXEC_SQL. OPEN_CURSOR (connection_id);
  --
  -assuming empno is a primary key for the table emp, where clause ensures
  -only 0 or 1 row is returned
  --
  sqlstr: = "select ename, empno, hiredate from emp;
  -sqlstr: = sqlstr. 'where empno =' | input_empno;
  
  EXEC_SQL. PARSE (connection_id, cursorID, sqlstr, exec_sql. V7);
  -EXEC_SQL. Bind_variable (connection_id, cursorID, ': bn', input_empno);
  
  EXEC_SQL. DEFINE_COLUMN (connection_id, cursorID, 1 loc_ename, 30);
  EXEC_SQL. DEFINE_COLUMN (connection_id, cursorID, 2, loc_eno);
  EXEC_SQL. DEFINE_COLUMN (connection_id, cursorID, 3, loc_hiredate);
  
  --
  -do execute_and_fetch after the analysis of the statement and calling bind_variable and
  -If necessary define_column
  --
  
  nIgn: = EXEC_SQL. EXECUTE_AND_FETCH (connection_id, cursorID);
  IF (nIgn = 0) THEN
  TEXT_IO. Put_line ('not Rec');
  ELSE IF (nIgn = 1) THEN
  TEXT_IO. Put_line ('found an employee');
  
  END IF;
  --
  -get the values of this line
  --
  WHILE (EXEC_SQL. FETCH_ROWS (connection_id, cursorID) > 0) LOOP
  -nRows: = nRows + 1;
  EXEC_SQL. COLUMN_VALUE (connection_id, cursorID, 1, loc_ename);
  EXEC_SQL. COLUMN_VALUE (connection_id, cursorID, 2, loc_eno);
  EXEC_SQL. COLUMN_VALUE (connection_id, cursorID, 3, loc_hiredate);
  
  MESSAGE(loc_ename||) e '|| loc_eno | » '|| loc_hiredate);
  
  END LOOP;
  END IF;
  END;

  If you want to use EXEC_SQL and a dynamic query with unknown data types, but the known table name,
  Then you can declare a rowtype variable
  for example;

   NOT TESTED ---A ROUGH IDEA
  m_emp_row employee_master%rowtype;
  m_col_cnt number := 0;
  So when you define collumn, create a procedure to find the column name and its width if it is varchar2 with respect to the column name .
     Find the column details from the user_tab_columns table ...
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    while m_col_cnt < 3 loop
         m_col_cnt  := m_col_cnt +1;
         proc_find_col_name_width(p_qry ,p_col_no=>m_col_cnt , p_col_name,p_col_width);
  
        If p_col_name = 'EMPCODE' then
           EXEC_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(connection_id, cursorID, m_col_cnt , m_emp_row.empcode , p_col_width);
        elsif p_col_name ='EMPNAME' then
           EXEC_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(connection_id, cursorID, m_col_cnt , m_emp_row.empname , p_col_width);
         -----
          -------
         end if;
    end loop;
  
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  --Your procedure will look like this
   procedure proc_find_col_name_width(p_qry  varchar2,p_col_no number, p_col_name out varchar2,p_col_width out number) is 
  
   m_col_name varchar2(30);
   Cursor c1 is
   Select  data_length
   from user_tab_columns
   where table_name = 'yr_tab_name'
   and column_name = m_col_name;
   m_lastpos number ;
   m_nxtpos number ;
   Begin
    m_lastpos := instr(p_qry,',',1,p_col_no-1);
    m_nxtpos := instr(p_qry,',',1,p_col_no);
    If m_lastpos = 0 then --- if only one col
       m_col_name := substr(p_qry,instr(upper(P_QRY),'SELECT') + 6, instr(upper(P_QRY),'FROM') -1);
    else
         If m_nxtpos = 0 then ---if last column
               m_nxtpos := instr(upper(P_QRY),'FROM') -1;
         end if;
  
      m_col_name := substr(p_qry,m_lastpos+1,m_nxtpos);
    End if;
    m_col_name := ltrim(rtrim(m_col_name));
    open c1;
    fetch c1 into p_col_width;
    close c1;
    p_col_name := m_col_name;
  END;
  

  same thing you must apply when retrieving values using exec_sql.column_value

• Dynamic problem with lookup-query for the purpose of resource request

  Hi all
  I need to set up several IOM user exchange mailboxes, I can set up AD account and account of the mailbox without any problem, but only for the first ad and Exchange account. For the second and third, etc. I get the error: "Invalid login name" during Exchange of account provisioning. I discovered that this problem exists with Exchange Connector - it is not able to collect correct GUID. So in my xml Dataset I use dynamic query Lookup to select manually correct Alias, the login name and GUID. The query for the GUID is the sequel (I cloned RO for AD and Exchnage):

  Hi, Mano,

  Welcome to the forum!

  Whenever you have a question, please post a small example of data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and the results desired from these data.
  Always tell what version of Oracle you are using.

  Since this is your first thread, I will post some examples of data for you:

  CREATE TABLE     table_x
  (     dt     DATE
  );
  
  INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2010-12-31');
  INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2011-01-01');
  INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2011-06-02');
  INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2011-06-30');
  INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2011-07-01');
  

  What is the output you can from these data?

  DT          FISCAL_YEAR     FISCAL_PERIOD
  ----------- --------------- ---------------
  31-Dec-2010 2011            06
  01-Jan-2011 2011            07
  02-Jun-2011 2011            12
  30-Jun-2011 2011            12
  01-Jul-2011 2012            01
  

  If so, here's a way to get it:

  SELECT       dt
  ,       TO_CHAR ( ADD_MONTHS (dt, 6)
              , 'YYYY'
              )     AS fiscal_year
  ,       TO_CHAR ( ADD_MONTHS (dt, 6)
              , 'MM'
              )     AS fiscal_period
  FROM       table_x
  ORDER BY  dt
  ;
  

  Since your exercise begins 6 months prior to the calendar year, you must add 6 months to the actual date for the fiscal year and month.

  The above query produces strings for fiscal_year and fiscal_period. If you prefer to have the numbers, then use EXTRACT instead of TO_CHAR:

  SELECT       dt
  ,       EXTRACT (      YEAR
              FROM     ADD_MONTHS (dt, 6)
              )     AS fiscal_year
  ,       EXTRACT (      MONTH
              FROM     ADD_MONTHS (dt, 6)
              )     AS fiscal_period
  FROM       table_x
  ORDER BY  dt
  ;
  

  The first query will work in Oracle 6 (and more).
  I don't know when EXTRACT was introduced. Certainly, it works in Oracle 10 and may be available in older versions too.

• Dynamic region with several task page fragment flow isn't refreshing VO

  JDeveloper version is 12.1.3 and Weblogic Server is 12.1.3.

  We have a dynamic region with several task page fragment flow.  We have created a menu that will open on the workflow task in the dynamic region. Before defining the workflow id in the bean, we execute query on the original Version after setting the bind variable. When we click on the menu is open the flow of relevant tasks in the region and showing the Original data table.

  But when we open the same request again to a different browser session, it shows all the data in the original Version when the user clicks on the relevant menu item...

  I have attached the code used to navigate to the different workflow tasks written in the bean from the back of the home page.

  We have no idea why anyone what happens, if it's a server problem or a code issue. Because unless and until we open the target application in a new browser it works fine.

  We tried and deployed on a remote server as well, but it gives the same question...

  Would be really grateful for the help...

  The user, the code you posted has some serious problems. Never, I repeat never store a reference to an application module in a static variable in a bean. That is why you see only data once. After that, the second session reuses the application module from the first to the configuration data, but to display data it uses a module different application.

  The way you try to configuration data is too bad. You must pass the parameters to the workflow and init data in the default action of the workflow instead of doing before installing the new workflow id. A workflow is a unit of work that is kind of a black box. You may not assume that the stuff you do outside of this black box can be seen inside the box. This is only true if the workflow share the same control of data as it's parent (share of data control).

  I suggest you read some documents on the workflow and how they work. A good start is to look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3CmDhWHaG0

  or work through this tutorial 12 c (12.1.3) Oracle JDeveloper tutorials - working with bounded task flows, regions and routers

  Thanks for your reply and I completely understand your frustration. The problem is sometimes it is very difficult to describe all of the problem due to several reasons. Please take a look at my last post to see if that makes sense.

  If you really need SQL dynamic - true dynamic SQL which includes dealing with dynamic number of bind variables - then DBMS_SQL are an excellent interface to use.

  You can generate the dynamic SQL statement based on the question of whether the filter criteria is null (do not use) or not null (use as a predicate). For example

  if someParam10 is not null then
    // someParam10 needs to be used as a filter predicate
    dynamicSQL := dynamicSQL || ' and some_col_10 = :someParam10 ';
  end if;
  

  This statement can then be analyzed using the DBMS_SQL interface. The binding of values uses the same logic that was used to create predicates. For example

  if someParam10 is not null then
    // someParam10 is used and needs to be bound
    DBMS_SQL.Bind( myCursor, 'someParam10', someParam10 );
  end if;
  

  So, with this approach simplistic, you can easily create a dynamic SQL with variable predicates, dynamically bind these and run the slider.

  Bind variables are used in the dynamic SQL statements, as there are very few threats of SQL injection. And the basic principles observed for shareable SQL creation - the same set of parameters not null to filter, will result in the same SQL statement, which allows the cursor within the Pool shared for this SQL statement to be reused.

  So, technically, dynamic SQL is not a major problem (if used correctly). The major problem is that if really necessary to address the requirements of the business at hand.

  The problem I have with many comments here want to use dynamic SQL statements, is that it is used as one would use a file i/o interface.

  For file IO you want standard Open(), Read(), Write() and Close() calls. And you, the appellant, simply pass the name of the file and the data to write or to receive the data read.

  Similarly, these posters want to use SQL to open a table and read and write the data column - and do it by calling simply (and dynamically) by specifying the name of the table and column. Approaches to dynamic SQL based on one such concept is wrong. And shows that much of the ignorance of what a RDBMS is and how to use an RDBMS.

• Dynamic action with refreshment area interactive report

  Hello!
  
  I use APEX 4.02
  
  I have a page with 2 regions.
  Region1 is a form (of entry)
  Region.2 is an interactive report on the same table as region 1
  
  When you enter values in the form I'm trying dynmically similar research records in the table with the interactive report.
  
  I made a dynamic action on the change of form fields that must refresh the interactive report region. I can see this one fires if I add an alert to debug if it fires.
  The dynamic report is based on a query with bind variable pointing to the fields in the form, for example
  where
  Field1 =: P2_FIELD1
  
  
  It works fine on the page loading, so no action is triggered, but I see the lines in the region of report are the ones I'm looking for.
  The updating of the report area does not work, but it is never nice and/or showing the correct data after a change of form fields, if it looks like the dynamic action "refresh the region" does not work on the interactive report.
  
  Any ideas why it can go wrong?
  I want to solve this problem using standard dynamic actions and preferably not via PL/SQL or JS, should be possible if I believe documentation... ;)
  
  See you soon

• Sort on dynamic query problem!

  Hello
  
  I have a dynamic query written in pl/sql, when I check "Sort" for each field in the report attribute, error message resurrected as "ORA-01785: ORDER BY item must include the number of an expression in the SELECT list.
  If I do not check sort, it works very well. In my applications, I need all the fields sorted by user, how do I solve this problem?
  
  My query as below:
  
  declare
  Ask varchar2 (2000): = "select";
  s_class varchar2 (1000);
  cursor c1 is select * from demo_preference;
  Start
  for c1_val looping c1
  If c1_val.login is not null then
  query: query = | » ' || 'login ' | ',';
  end if;
  If c1_val.id is not null then
  query: query = | » ' || 'id ' | ',';
  end if;
  .......
  end loop;
  query: = SUBSTR (query, 1, length (query)-1);
  
  s_class: = ' (NVL (: P2_class, "%" |)) ''null%'') = ''%'' || "zero percent" OR
  EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM apex_collections WHERE collection_name = "P2CLASSCOL" AND class = c001))';
  
  query: query = | » ' || ' from ming.reg_report_view1 where '.
  || ' ' || s_class;
  Return (Query);
  end;

  Maybe the internal column used when you clicked the sort is not indicated in the report. Try to use aliases when you build the query string, it might help apex internally to identify a column even if its order is changed to another user. After all, the order of the columns in the code is dynamic and I assume that even the number of displayed columns can vary that could sort on a column that is identified by a number not valid.

  How about somewhere, displaying the report query so that you know what is the exact query processing, it could give you the best information on the problem.

  If the problem persists, use a collection that is extracted these record using the same query string, then replace the report to view the collection and then set the sort column on. This way Summit could get confused about which columns are being sorted and it would just sort on a c001... C050 column as if it were a string (Yes problems with the number of sort columns when you do this).

• 30EA2 - UNIT TESTING - value dynamic query truncating dates time.

  So I use the installation of SQL Developer Unit Testing (very nice by the by) for a bit now and just recently upgraded to the latest beta version (3.0.02.83). Looks like a bug has been introduced by which the dynamic query of value are truncate all time of all DATE data type information.
  
  This causes sadness serious for my current test cases and for me since I have to go back to the previous beta version :)

  I noticed that, in the new 30EA2 parameter:

  AddVMOption - Doracle.jdbc.mapDateToTimestamp = false

  has been introduced by default in

  [SQLDEveloper_install_dir]/sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.conf

  Perhaps it has something to do with the behavior of incorrect date, try to remove the parameter and check again.

    q varchar2(4000);
  begin
   
    q := 'SELECT R_ID, R_TSO_NO';
  
    For i in (SELECT * FROM USER_TAB_COLUMNS
    WHERE table_name = 'TAB_REPORTS'
    AND column_name like '2%')
    loop
      q := q || ', ';
      q := q || 'HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(1, ';
      q := q || i.column_name;
      q := q || ', ';
      q := q || chr(39);
      q := q || 'LOV_QER';
      q := q || chr(39);
      q := q || ', null, ';
      q := q || chr(39);
      q := q || 'Y';
      q := q || chr(39);
      q := q || ') "';
      q := q || i.column_name;
      q := q || '"';
    end loop;
     
    q := q || ' FROM TAB_REPORTS ';
  
    return q;
  
  END;

  This is the return value, which seems to be OK:

  SELECT R_ID, 
  R_TSO_NO, 
  HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(1, 2008_05, 'LOV_QER', null, 'Y') "2008_05", 
  HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(1, 2008_03, 'LOV_QER', null, 'Y') "2008_03", 
  HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(1, 2008_08, 'LOV_QER', null, 'Y') "2008_08", 
  HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(1, 2008_11, 'LOV_QER', null, 'Y') "2008_11", 
  HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(1, 2009_02, 'LOV_QER', null, 'Y') "2009_02", 
  HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(1, 2009_05, 'LOV_QER', null, 'Y') "2009_05", 
  HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(1, 2009_08, 'LOV_QER', null, 'Y') "2009_08", 
  HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(1, 2009_11, 'LOV_QER', null, 'Y') "2009_11", 
  HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(1, 2010_02, 'LOV_QER', null, 'Y') "2010_02", 
  HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(1, 2010_05, 'LOV_QER', null, 'Y') "2010_05", 
  HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(1, 2010_08, 'LOV_QER', null, 'Y') "2010_08", 
  HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(1, 2010_11, 'LOV_QER', null, 'Y') "2010_11" 
  FROM TAB_REPORTS

  And this is my error msg, I do not understand:
  
  * Failed to parse the SQL query:
  ORA-00911: invalid character *.
  
  Where is this invalid character, please?
  
  THX 4 help,

  Hello

  As part of HTMLDB_ITEM. This is a parameter of function - it should be a tank. In addition, if you use a recent version of the APEX, you should use the synonym APEX_ITEM reference HTMLDB_ITEM.

  Here is the statement of HTMLDB_ITEM parameter. SELECT_LIST...

      p_idx         in number,
      p_value       in varchar2 default null,
      p_list_values in varchar2 default null,
      p_attributes  in varchar2 default null,
      p_show_null   in varchar2 default 'NO',
      p_null_value  in varchar2 default '%null%',
      p_null_text   in varchar2 default '%',
      p_item_id     in varchar2 default null,
      p_item_label  in varchar2 default null,
      p_show_extra  in varchar2 default 'YES'
  

  You will see that it is a VARCHAR2 parameter.

  See you soon

• Dynamic query for a report

  Hello
  I have to generate a report that contains a query with the database link. This database link is not pre-programmed and would be taken up in another report which contans a link to this report. If this link value of database for the query could be. Can someone guide me hot to write a dynamic select statement so that I could add value of binding of database running.
  Thank you

  Hello Salman,

  You must create a report of "query SQL (PL/SQL function body return SQL query. If you create a normal report of SQL query (using any SQL statement you like - example 1 SELECT FROM DUAL), you can then change the Type of report to this parameter.

  Once this is done, you can then create a string that will build the SQL query, you must - what is done when entering the parameter Source in the region in the region to replace the PL/SQL code. How this string is constructed depends on where your data is and so on, but it's just a case of gettnig correct information and concatenated into a single string that forms the SELECT statement.

  For example:

  DECLARE
   vTABLE VARCHAR2(100);
   vSQL VARCHAR2(1000);
  BEGIN
   vTABLE := 'MYTABLE@OTHERDB';
   vSQL := 'SELECT * FROM ' || vTABLE;
   RETURN vSQL;
  END;
  

  The PL/SQL above to build a string:

  SELECT * FROM MYTABLE@OTHERDB
  

  who then returned to Apex to generate the report. Also you should probably select the option "use generic column names (analysis of query runtime only)" under this.
