• How to get the query of the region "PL/SQL function body returns the query string"?

  Hello
  
  is it possible to get the query string from the region of type "PL/SQL function body returns the query string"?
  
  I can get the definition of the region as a PL/SQL procedure, but I am interested in the returned query. I tried to write something like
  
  < pre > v_return_query: = «...» » ;
  : P49_QUERY: = v_return_query;
  Return v_return_query; < / pre >
  
  to save the return on hidden item P49_QUERY string, but it does not work. I get the error message: ERR-1002 cannot find the item for the "P49_QUERY" element ID in the application '4000 '.
  
  Kind regards

  If you need to make reference to a page element in the block then you can use this type of control to avoid having to use generic column names:

  if apex_application.get_current_flow_sgid(:APP_ID) = apex_application.get_sgid then-- runtime  :P9_SQL := vSQL;else-- design time  null;end if;
  

  But if all you want to do is capture the SQL debugging you can take all the references element in the block and use the insert statement (in a debug table) as I showed earlier.

• Function returning the query takes longer to run in Apex4.0

  Hi all
  
  I've created a report using the function returns the query. The function returns the query based on parameters that returns the dynamic columns. When I run the query in sql developer the query generates and returns the result in 3mins. But in the apex, it takes 35 minutes maximum to return.
  
  The query returns about 10000 lines.
  
  What a performance problem in the query or Apex? can someone help plz

  Hello

  You can use the builtin: SRW. GET_REPORT_NAME
  This function returns the file name of the running report

• Function that returns the results of a select statement

  Hello
  
  I would like to create a feature on the famous HR Departments oracle table to select * from him. I don't know how to do it.

  Oracle stored functions cannot return result sets directly but can return the REF CURSOR. Please read [optimize result set retrieval using ODP.NET and Ref Cursor | http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/mastering_dotnet_oracle/williams_refcursors.html] which gives complete examples in PL/SQL for the side Server and VB.

  Hi Kiran and welcome to the forum,

  You mix SQL and PL/SQL

  It's the way in which SQL:

  SQL> SELECT total_income('AD_VP') FROM DUAL;
  
  TOTAL_INCOME('AD_VP')
  ---------------------
                    123
  1 row selected.
  

  It comes to PL/SQL in SQL * more

  SQL> variable test_sal number
  SQL> execute :test_sal := total_income('AD_VP')
  PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
  SQL> exec dbms_output.put_line('Total Sal:'||:test_sal)
  Total Sal:123
  PL/SQL procedure successfully completed

• a function that returns the type with a table joint!

  Good day to all,
  I have a function that returns a type.
  
  so I select it as:
  Select * from table (function (param1, param2))
  
  now I want to combine this with a table so that the settings for the service we get from the join table. Is this possible? And how?
  I tried different options without success.
  
  something like:
  Select *.
  table table (function (b.column1, b.columnb) x), tablea b
  where x.a = b.col
  
  Is this possible?

• Confidence for app.newDoc function always returns the undefined value

  Hello

  I'm doing a script activated by button.  Its purpose is to save a copy of the first page (form data erasure) in its own file in the same path as the open document.  As part of that I had to create a trust to cover the privileges of the app.newDoc function.  I have the following:

  trustedNewDoc = app.trustedFunction (function (nWidth, nHeight)

  {

  app.beginPriv ();

  app.newDoc (nWidth, nHeight);

  app.endPriv ();

  });

  This was recorded in a file called "newdoc.js" in the "app" of javascript.  I closed my Acrobat Pro XI and restarted.  As soon as I try to activate a button with just: "myDoc = trustedNewDoc var (500,500);", it opens the document as specified, but I get "undefined" returned to myDoc - that avoids manipulation of the Fryer.

  If I run the same line of the console, it also returns the value undefined.  Running "myDoc = var app.newDoc ();" also returns undefined, but just "app.newDoc ()"; only returns '[Doc]' - even if ' trustedNewDoc (500,500); "alone is still undefined.

  In any case, I feel like I'm missing something fundamental, even if I found some guides suggesting to do exactly what I have it implemented.  I am pretty sure I have everything entered correctly and followed all the steps, so at this point I'm stumped.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you

  Mike

  Thanks Gilad, that was exactly what he needed!  And thanks for getting back to me so quickly.  Now, I really wish I would have asked this question more early yesterday after spending hours trying to find a solution.

  Unfortunately there aren't really examples I found where a value was returned.  Maybe it's the good sense and I should have better, but I thought that the value has been returned by other means.  In any case, it's great to work with your help!  Now, I have a separate question, with what I need to see if I can get help. Hey, great work and thank you again!

• Request report - use the function that returns the cursor

  My requirement is to create a report, which the source will be a function that returns a cursor (the type of cursor is ref cursor).
  How this can be done?
  
  for example. function my_func (pol_no in number) return cur_type < ref cursor >
  
  Edited by: viveks on October 27, 2009 10:09

  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...

• Need help with the function MAX Returns the values

  I am creating a report to return slow movement inventory data. One of the requests is that it return only the last date that an item is traded on. A map shows the last date of receipt for a part, the other will show the last time, a part has been issued or shipped on a sales order.
  
  The hiccup is that it returns every single of the last time that an item has been received, so every last show of the material (on the second sheet) of items on-site.
  
  Could someone help me set the max value? As shown below, and many variations, the sheet comes up with no corrupt data or dates.
  
  MAX (Date of the MAX operation) (PARTITION OF matter Transactions.Item matter Transactions.Item ORDER)
  
  Always returns the next two when in reality, I want just the one with the date the most recent (April 2010).

  Hi Becka
  If you have a new calculated column showng, as in your example, 13 April 10, and you have another column that contains also this date, you should be able to create a new condition. Condition that must be the date calculated max is equal to the actual date, thus returning only the line that includes 13 April 10.

  I hope I'm makng sense

• Simple? How do you want 'INSERT' function to return the empty space after a field?

  All,
  
  I just have a PET of brain? I have a situation where I have a field that must return a single space, with a value that has a space before and after it.
  
  Example:
  
  In the text == > I'm < field > go to the office. <-notice no space between the two am, < field > and will
  
  I mean if set to FALSE, then "I am * not * going to the office."
  If true, then "I go to the office."
  
  If it is true, I am just RETURN(""); <-this returns a blank space
  
  
  If FALSE, I tried:
  
  RET = 'no '.
  RETURN ("" & ret & "");
  
  This property returns "I am notgoing to UNRWA. <-don't notice any empty space after the 'no '?
  
  I tried
  
  RET = 'no ';
  RET2 = ("" & ret);
  RETURN (Insert (ret2, 3, ""));
  
  Always the same result. What is strange, that is, if I do a RETURN (Insert (ret2, * 2 *, "")); then he comes back "I'm not tgoing to office" <-note the space between the "o" and the "t"?
  
  Ideas?

  I forgot about it. Depending on which version you use, DAL actually supported a function that will make the hard space for you, like this:

  Val = FLOAT (160) & 'not' & CHAR (160)
  Return (Val)
