  You don't need to write a function no., you can use regular expressions REGEXP_LIKE...

  for example to find all the rows that have % ED % or % LY in them...

• Problems of execution of a SQL function with a variable in the WHERE clause

  Hello world!

  I have programmed a function that returns a boolean value based on the result of the SQL. It's the function:

  FUNCTION existe_secuencial (seq_name VARCHAR2) RETURN AS BOOLEAN

  cursor c2 is SELECT FROM all_sequences WHERE upper (sequence_name) = sequence_name' | seq_name | ' ;

  BEGIN

  OPEN c2;

  DBMS_OUTPUT. Put_line (nombre_seq);

  Get c2 INTO kk;

  If c2% NOTFOUND = True THEN

  RETURNS false;

  on the other

  RETURNS true;

  end if;

  END existe_secuencial;

  And I give the floor to the function of a procedure in this way:

  IF existe_secuencial ("SEQ_ARQUETA") = True THEN

  DBMS_OUTPUT. Put_line ('exists');

  ON THE OTHER

  DBMS_OUTPUT. Put_line ("' NOT exists");

  END IF;

  The probrem that this SQL is forced to return results because this sequence exists in the comic book, but is not, return me the FALSE value. What makes me mad is that if I change the second line of the function in this way:

  > > cursor c2 is SELECT FROM all_sequences WHERE upper (sequence_name) sequence_name ="SEQ_ARQUETA";

  It works find and return of sequence existing (real)

  Can someone help me please, I'm quite desperate to find what is the problem with that because I do not understand why if I built the slider with a variable returns no results so that if I do write it works...

  Thanks in advance!

  Itziar

  Frame you your variable in quotes, which makes the string literal ' |. ' seq_name | "rather than the content of the variable.

  I think that something like this would be an improvement.

  function existe_secuencial (seq_name VARCHAR2) return a Boolean value as

  number of exist_check: = 0;

  Start

  Start

  Select 1

  in exist_check

  of all_sequences

  where upper (sequence_name) = upper (seq_name);

  exception

  When no_data_found then

  null;

  end;

  return (exist_check = 1);

  end existe_secuencial;

  Sorry peoples everything by pasting the corresponding condition is left empty.

  I think I see your confusion.

  There are two different languages in question here, SQL and PL/SQL.

  The SQL language is a non-procedural language whose role is to define data structures (DDL) and manipulate data (DML). The language also contains transaction control statements (commit, rollback, backup point) and a few other buildings are not able to qualify so perfectly, but that can be ignored for now.

  The PL/SQL language is a complete language of proceedings (which is the bit of the name PL) which is based on the ADA language and takes in charge the SQL language it contains.

  You can write PL/SQL packages, procedures functions that do not contain any SQL at all if you wish.

  The power of PL/SQL, however, is the way it integrates SQL it contains.

  In your example, you have written a PL/SQL function that updates some data using a SQL statement. You can call this function to other procedures - PL/SQL and functions you have shown an example calling in an anonymous PL/SQL block, and it worked very well.

  You can also use a PL/SQL function (but not a procedure) in a SQL statement, but there are restrictions on what the function is allowed to do in this context. In particular, as you have discovered, no update! These are just the 'rules' and they are documented in detail.

  Do not be offended when people write 'it's a matter of doc' and give a reference, because this document contains the facts better and more completely that could be written here. It is best to read the documentation here written explanations that are only partially correct (I wrote some of these myself).

  There are any other questions where the answers are not so cut, and this is where you can see different responses. They reflect the original writers and experience... right or wrong, just different approaches to situations.

  Then read a lot, try things and then ask a lot of questions about things you don't know.

• Problem inserting new line in a VO with SQL functions and subqueries

  Hello
  
  I use JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 and and stuck with insertion of a new line when the values to insert into some fields of the new line are returns of SQL functions and subqueries.
  
  At the sqlplus prompt, the following sql statement is tested and developed successfully:
  

  insert into VALIDATIONS values (
     '111223333', 'JANE', 'DOE',
     SYSDATE,
     (select to_char(sysdate, 'yymmdd') from dual)||
     (select to_char(count(TRANSACTION_DATE)+1,'fm0999') from VALIDATIONS
        where trunc(TRANSACTION_DATE) = to_char(sysdate))
  );

  Note that the values for the fields of 4th and 5th are returns of subqueries and SQL functions.
  
  Ideally, it would be simple to assemble a SQL and executed him as he did to the old way of servlet:
  

  String sql = "insert into VALIDATIONS values ('" + id + "', '" + firstName + "', '" + lastName + "', SYSDATE, (select to_char( ......)))";
  statement.executeUpdate(sql);

  I'm not sure it can be done in JDeveloper, and it was not found in the developer's guide. What I found was rather:
  

  // 1. Find the ServiceRequests view object instance.
  ViewObject svcReqs = am.findViewObject("ServiceRequests");
  // 2. Create a new row and insert it into the row set
  Row newSvcReq = svcReqs.createRow();
  svcReqs.insertRow(newSvcReq);
  // 3. Show effect of entity object defaulting for Status attribute
  System.out.println("Status defaults to: "+newSvcReq.getAttribute("Status"));
  // 4. Set values for some of the required attributes
  newSvcReq.setAttribute("CreatedBy",308); // Nancy Greenberg (user)
  Date now = new Date(new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis()));
  newSvcReq.setAttribute("RequestDate",now);
  newSvcReq.setAttribute("ProdId",119); // Ice Maker
  newSvcReq.setAttribute("ProblemDescription","Cubes melt immediately");
  // 5. Commit the transaction
  am.getTransaction().commit();

  In my case, it would be OK for the first three fields as shown below (in the code of transactionsRecords is a display object). But what about the 4th and 5th fields?
  

  Row newTransaction = transactionsRecords.createRow();
  transactionsRecords.insertRow(newTransaction);
  newTransaction.setAttribute("StudentId", id);
  newTransaction.setAttribute("FirstName", firstName);
  newTransaction.setAttribute("LastName", lastName);
  
  newTransaction.setAttribute("TransactionDate", <how to put "SYSDATE" here?>);
  newTransaction.setAttribute("ConfirmNumber", <how to put subqueries here?>);

  A big thank you to those who know or have experience before!
  
  
  Newman

  Newman,
  You can do this via a procedure call. This technique is described here
  I guess you can't do this directly in the EO or VO.
  You can do it the old way to create a prepared directly query and call it as you described. To get the declaration use getDBTransaction () .createPreparedStatement (...) method available in the module of your application.
  Be aware of the implications using the given solution. The framework doesn't know anything of what you are doing. So to see the changes that you used to update the tables that you change.

• How can I call a function with parameter out of sql

  Hello world
  I'm calling a Sql statement function and I get this error ORA-06572: XX function has arguments.
  
  can you offer any solution on this workaround.
  
  Thank you

  Hello

  Sorry, you cannot call functions with OUT arguments (or arguments, but I'll just say in the future) SQL statements.
  This is one of the reasons why many people avoid having arguments in functions.
  THE arguments are never optional. If the function expected of them, you must pass to them.

  Depending on your needs, you can write a Wrapper function that has no arguments.
  For example, if you want to call this function:

  fun1 ( in_out_str      IN OUT  VARCHAR2
       , in_num          IN      NUMBER
       )
  RETURN  NUMBER ...
  

  you don't need really the value changed to in_out_str, then you can write a function like this:

  fun1_wrapper ( in_str          IN      VARCHAR2
                 , in_num          IN      NUMBER
                 )
  RETURN  NUMBER
  IS
      in_str2     VARCHAR2 (32767)  := in_str;
  BEGIN
      RETURN  fun1 ( in_str2
                     , in_num
             );
  END  fun1_wrapper;
  

  You can use fun1_wrapper in a SQL statement, even if you cannot use fun1 in the same statement.

  Identify the name of the checkbox of the source of the page element, it should be of the fxx format (f01, f02... f50).
  Suppose that we f01.

  for i in 1 .. apex_application.g_f01.count
  loop
    UPDATE CONTRACTS
    SET SIP_LOAD_FLAG = :P16_STATUS
    where  =  apex_application.g_f01(i); --i'th checked record' primary key

• Replace the trivial calculation with PL/SQL function?

  I have several queries that are full day based on a date field differences Oracle - for example, something along the line of computing:
  
  Select
  Customer
  , trunc (current_date) - trunc (payment_date)
  Of
  (select 'Fred', to_date ('2009-06-01 07:05 ',' yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') as payment_date of all the double union)
  Select 'Barney', to_date ('01-07-2009 15:15:15 ',' yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') of double
  )
  -- ------------------------------------
  --
  -Customer Account_Age
  -- --------- -----------
  -Fred 49
  -Barney 19
  
  I'm a developer who is now Advisor we use a user defined PL/SQL function rather than the difference of these functions TRUNC. Who goes against the grain for me. In MS SQL Server Transact SQL forums, I would recommend almost never replace something trivial with a user defined function because the UDF is called for each row returned by the query and adds overhead to the application.
  
  The same kind of logic applies to the UDF Oracle? Is it a good idea to replace trivial calculations like this with the UDF?

  Thank you.
  L.
  
  Update:

  You are not using bind variables with your dynamic code. That is a major mistake and the #1 reason for poor database performance.
  It is a fundamental flaw in programming to design a function that includes output parameters. This is simply and plainly wrong.
  Output parameters are also not supported by the SQL language - it does not support "procedure" like code units and call methods. 

  I know that the function should not have out parameters. But its programmed that way already...

  You try something like

  declare
     vRunFunctie   varchar2(100) := 'startfunction';
     vParmIn1      varchar2(100) := 'AAA';
     vParmIn2      varchar2(100) := 'HHH';
     vParmOut1     number;
     vParmOut2     varchar2(100);
  begin
     --
     execute immediate 'begin :x := ' || vRunFunctie || '( :p1,  :p2, :vParmOut2 ); end;' using out vParmOut1, vParmIn1, vParmIn2, out vParmOut2;

  You use f_itemcheck at the same time as a variable

  whole f_itemcheck;

  and in function:

  valexits: = f_itemcheck (mprod_code);

  But there is no function with that name...

• PL/SQL functions as LOV to use in another display object

  Hello

  We had a custom search to extract data from a display object and the data displayed as a Table of ADF. Now, there are few requests for searches on this report. Go see criteria and Panel request if we allow saved search. But the fields used in the research are going through a lot of logic and thus the PL/SQL functions are implemented. We used to call these functions and lists separated by commas and then divided the list into individual elements and put in the component "select options".

  The value (String) returned by the pl/sql function is something like - APAC, EMEA, NORTH AMERICA, FDA

  I am creating a LOV based on SQL-query "Select getRegions() from dual;

  Now, I want the list separated by commas to divide so that I could use this LOV in an another view and try the display criteria and saved searches.

  I tried to assign as LOV just to check and the criteria drop-down view for region displays same value as single element - "APAC, EMEA, NORTH AMERICA, LAD."

  I want it to be 4 separate - elements

  APAC

  EMEA

  NORTH AMERICA

  DVL

  Is there anyway to achieve this?

  Or better is at - it another way to do this (maybe I'm wrong)

  Thank you.

  Instead of a programmatic VO of PL/SQL, I found sometimes easier to write PL/SQL functions that return a table - need to CREATE a TYPE for the data items to be returned and a TYPE of TABLE IMBRIQUE tabular form of the first kind.  The function returns the type of table, and can even be a PIPElined table function.  Then I create a VO with the following text:

  SELECT * from TABLE (my_function_returning_table)

  The function can even take parameters, which you fill with variable BIND your VO.

• Help SQL function

  Hi all

  I have a table which includes

  ID, first_name, last name and date of birth

  I want to retrieve all the records that have the same name and DOB

  for example.

  ID, first_name, last name, DOB

  1 xyz abc 01/01/2012

  hij 2 efg 15/05/2012

  3 xyz abc 01/01/2012

  4 xyz abc 01/01/2012
  

  so in the output of 1, 3 and 4 rows will appear only.

  can someone advise please on the appropriate SQL function

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  One way is to use the analytical COUNT function:

  WITH got_num_rows AS

  (

  SELECT id, first_name, last_name, dob

  , COUNT (*) OVER (PARTITION BY first name

  last_name

  ,             dob

  ) AS num_rows

  FROM table_x

  )

  SELECT id, first_name, last_name, dob

  OF got_num_rows

  WHERE num_rows > 1

  ;

  The subquery is needed here, because the analytical functions are calculated after the WHERE clause has been applied.  To use the results of an anlytic function in a WHERE clause, you must calculate the function in a subquery, then you can use the results where you want (including the WHERE clause) of a Super query.

• Calling a SQL function which has Out parameters

  Hello people,
  I don't know if it's feasible, but here's my scenrio at hand. I have a database function that accepts a few parameters AND OUTPUT parameters. I want one Out to display in my select statement parameters. Is this possible?
  
  Thank you

  No you can not use a function with out parameters in sql statements.

  If possible do the function of this return value, use it in select. (imean instead of the parameter, OUT out which parameter through the BACK)
