• Return each value only once using cfloop query

  Hello

  I have a code that fills a cfselect list dynamically and then fills a second list based on these values. Everything seems to work fine, except that all values are taken from the database, and there are duplicates in the majority of cases. For example, the 1S1W is displayed in the dropdown value 10 times, where I'll settle it there once.

  Is it possible to have one of each value in my list?

  Emily,

  Easy fix.  Use the same approach you did to determine when the second menu drop-down.  Change this line:

  action = "by_TRS_results_arps_2.cfm" > ""

  Back AFTER using the exception block is fine as long as your code actually REACHED the exception block.

  When there are no errors, then your code will not enter the exception block, but you still NEED to return a value, since it is what functions a function wants to return a value, that's what the functions are made for.

  Spot the differences between the following 3 functions. Understand how they work.

  The first function has only a return in the exception block but runs correctly. Result: error, because the back is missing in the code block.

  The second function has a return in the exception block and one in the block of code and runs correctly. Result: no error, because the return is not missing in the code block.

  The third function has a return in the exception block and one in the block of code and is forced into an error. Result: no error, because the return of the exception handler is used (instead of retriggering of the error, which you would normally do).

• What subprogramme should we prefer to return multiple values with OUT parameter?

  Hello

  I worked on the procedures and functions, and aware of their differences. Today I have an interview question that - suppose I don't have return multiple values through a subroutine and I want nor run any what DML within this subprogramme and I want to use this subprogramme in the SQL query. What subprogramme I would prefer - "Operating Mode" or "Function" and why?

  In my view, both can be used in this case, but want to see your views and opinions.

  Kind regards

  Sachin jerbi

  In terms of software engineering, if you claim something that you expect to "return" something (a value or values) then you use a function.  If you call something to "do" something, and then you use a procedure.

  THE settings are not good practices in many cases and should not strictly considered "return" of values.  Instead, they are assigned values in the code and generally act as pointers to the original variable/structure that was passed as a parameter (the actual internals of Oracle don't quite do it, but in principle this is what they do).

  A return value (or structure) of a function is basically push in the battery to the point that the RETURN statement is issued, and then the code calling the stack appears to assign it to a variable or placeholder, it should go in.

  If it seems a little difference between procedures and functions to some people, it is recommended to use functions for obtaining values and procedures to do things, in most cases.  It is not just "syntactic sugar", as mentioned above.

• How to run VB of JSX and return a value?

  Someone knows how to do this?

  $.writeln('result:\r' + app.doScript('wsh.echo "test"', ScriptLanguage.VISUAL_BASIC));

  WSH and wscript give an error 'object required '. Same script works very well as a vbs file.

  It seems that these objects are simply not available when executing doScript, but y at - it another way to return a value?

  Justin Putney says:

  Substances. wrote:

  FWIW, to return a value from VB using doScript, you need returnValue = SomeValue at the end of your VB script.

  I know that this is the case with a Sub or Function... is that his operation at the end of a script as well?

  To answer your questions, here is an excerpt of work I have that gets the file in Excel:

  var vbs = 'Set MyXL = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")\r' +
  'Set ActiveXL = MyXL.activeworkbook\r'+
  'returnValue = ActiveXL.Path';
  var path = app.doScript(vbs,ScriptLanguage.VISUAL_BASIC);
  

• Return a value of a DispatchEvent

  I have a class of the custom event that looks like this:

  package com.ascentify.components.eduspeak.events
  {
       import flash.events.Event;
       
       public class EduSpeakEvent extends Event
       {
            //Build Path Events
            public static const BUILD_PATH:String = "EduSpeakEvent.BuildPath";
            
            public var param:Object;
            
            public function EduSpeakEvent(type:String, pParam:Object=null, bubbles:Boolean=false, cancelable:Boolean=false)
            {

  It contains lines the problem. I can send a value to the event handler, but I need to return a value as well:

            var baseDir:String = ExternalInterface.call("ES_getBaseDirectory");
            displayLoader._trace("baseDir = "+baseDir, true, true);

  Can I get a return on my eventdispatch function value?

  The event system is not designed to return values and you really shouldn't use events to do. Event are for the notification, not function calls. Events can have several listeners, so how could they all return a value? However, if you really want to, your listener could define a field of the event (say event.result) object that you can then interview after the return of dispatchEvent (event).

  BTW, why you go your way as an object rather than a string or anything actually?

• How to return the value 0 for no data using the County?

  Hi all
  I used this query to count the number of records for each month of the year:
  
  SELECT DISTINCT COUNT (I.information_sid) COUNT, TO_DATE (TO_CHAR (INSERT_DATE, 'MM'), 'MM') MONTH
  
  INFORMATION I
  
  TO_DATE GROUP (TO_CHAR (INSERT_DATE, 'MM'), 'MM')
  
  ORDER BY TO_DATE (TO_CHAR (INSERT_DATE, 'MM'), 'MM')
  
  But this code returns no value for months without data
  I want to return the value '0' for any month of data. How, please?
  
  Note: I use reports 6i.

  Maybe this?

  SELECT SUM(CNT_REC) CNT_REC, MONTH
  FROM
  (
  SELECT COUNT(I.information_sid) CNT_REC, TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(INSERT_DATE,'MM'),'MM') MONTH
  FROM INFORMATIONS I

  UNION ALL
  SELECT 0, LPAD(ROWNUM,2,0)

  GROUP BY MONTH
  ORDER BY MONTH

• Return multiple values from a function in a SELECT statement

  I hope I've provided enough information here. If not, let me know what I'm missing.
  
  I create a view that will combine the information from several tables. Most are pretty simple, but there are a couple of columns in the view that I need to get by running a function within a package. Even if this is quite simple (I have a function named action_date in a package called rp, for example, that I can use to return the date that I need through SOME rp.action_date (sequence_number).
  
  Here is the question: I really need to return several bits of information of the same record (not only action_date, but also action_office, action_value, etc.)-a join of the tables will work not here, as I will explain below. I can, of course, perform a function separate for each statement, but this is obviously inefficient. Within the select statement of the view, however, I don't know how each of the values that I need to get back.
  
  For example, right now, I have:
  
  Table 1:
  sequence_number NUMBER (10),
  name varchar (30),
  ...
  
  Table2:
  Table1_seq NUMBER (10),
  action_seq NUMBER (10),
  action_date DATE,
  action_office VARCHAR (3),
  action_value VARCHAR (60),
  ...
  
  I can't just simply join Table1 and Table2 because I have to perform processing in order to determine the rows returned matching, I really need to select. If the package opens a cursor and treats each line until it finds the one I need.
  
  The following works but is ineffective since all calls to the package returns the columns of the same record. I don't know how to put all the values that I need in the SELECT statement.
  CREATE VIEW all_this_stuff AS
  SELECT sequence_number, name,
  RP.action_date (sequence_number) action_date,
  RP.action_office (sequence_number) action_office,
  RP.action_value (sequence_number) action_value
  FROM table1
  
  Is there a way to return multiple values in my SELECT statement or I'm going about this all wrong?
  
  Any suggestions?
  
  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  What you want is a Query of Top - N , what you can do using the ROW_NUMBER analytic function in a subquery, like this:

  WITH     got_rnum     AS
  (
       SELECT     action_seq, action_dt, action_office, action_type, action_value
       ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( ORDER BY  action_date
                                 ,            action_seq
                           ,            action_serial
                         ) AS rnum
       FROM     table2
       WHERE     action_code     = 'AB'
       AND     action_office     LIKE 'E'     -- Is this right?
  )
  SELECT     action_seq, action_dt, action_office, action_type, action_value
  FROM     got_rnum
  WHERE     rnum     = 1
  ;
  

  As written, this returns a single line (at most).
  I suspect you'll actually get a rank for each group , where a group is defined by a value in a table in which you join.
  In this case, add a PARTITION BY clause to the ROW_NUMBER function.
  If post you a small example of data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), I could show you exactly how.
  As I don't have your tables, I'll show you the use of the tables in the scott schema.
  This is a view containing data in the scott.dept table and also to scott.emp, but only for the highest employee in each Department (in other words, the employee whose oldest hire date). If there be a tie for the first hire date, while the candidate with the lowest empno is selected.

  CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW     senior_emp
  AS
  WITH     got_rnum     AS
  (
       SELECT     d.deptno
       ,     d.dname
       ,     e.empno
       ,     e.ename
       ,     e.hiredate
       ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY  d.deptno
                                 ORDER BY          e.hiredate
                           ,                e.empno
                         ) AS rnum
       FROM     scott.dept     d
       JOIN     scott.emp     e     ON     d.deptno     = e.deptno
  )
  SELECT     deptno
  ,     dname
  ,     empno
  ,     ename
  ,     hiredate
  FROM     got_rnum
  WHERE     rnum     = 1
  ;
  
  SELECT     *
  FROM     senior_emp
  ;
  

  Output:

  .    DEPTNO DNAME               EMPNO ENAME      HIREDATE

          30 SALES                7499 ALLEN      20-FEB-81
  

  Moreover, one of the conditions to the query you posted has been

  action_office     LIKE 'E'
  

  which equals

  action_office     = 'E'
  

  (AS is always equivalent to = if the string that follows AS does not contain the winning cards.)
  Did you mean say that or did you mean something like this:

  action_office     LIKE 'E%'
  

  Instead?

• Create the view and by using the function that returns a type oracle

  Following is possible?
  
  A function returns an ORACLE object Type, and I want to use this feature, in my opinion, it is possible to access each field of the type once the function is executed and make a column in the view?
  

  create or replace TYPE SOME_INFO AS OBJECT
  ( 
    CHARGE FLOAT,
    SOME_DATE DATE,
    SOME_VAL VARCHAR(50)
  );
  
  CREATE OR REPLACE
    FUNCTION CALCULATE_INFO
      (

  BEGIN
   
  -- function body populates the v_some_info
  return v_some_info;
   
  END calculate_info;

  Now, I want to use the function according to me - if the underlying query of the view follows-
  

   select c.*, calculate_info(c.charge_id) as someInfo from some_charge;

  How to recover someInfo.CHARGE, someInfo.some_date, someInfo.some_val? I can put them as columns in the view?
  
  If you use only functions that return a single value in a view?

• Function return undefined values

  My function returns undefined values. It seems that the return of the function statement is executed before the database is queried and values are assigned to variables. If I do an alert within the loop for () I get the correct values from the database, but these values are not affected before excecuting the return statement function. How can I do this differently?

  function getColumnNames(table){
      var rs1, rs2, rs3, rs4, rs5;
      db.transaction(function (tx) {
          tx.executeSql("SELECT * FROM schema WHERE table_name=?",[table], function(ax, results){
              var size = results.rows.length, i;
              var item;
              for (i = 0; i < size; i++){
                  item = results.rows.item(i);
                  rs1 = item.col1;
                  rs2 = item.col2;
                  rs3 = item.col3;
                  rs4 = item.col4;
                  rs5 = item.col5;
                                  alert(rs1); //correct value is returned here
              }
          });
      });
      return [rs1, rs2, rs3, rs4, rs5];
  }
  

  Hey Fabian,.

  You are quite correct that the return statement is executed before the database returns the results. There are ongoing asynchronous calls. You can set breakpoints in JavaScript code to see what is happening. You can correct the problem by using function callbacks. I edited your code below to use the callback functions - there might be a few typos, but the general approach should be wooded.

  function getColumnNames(table, callback){
      var rs1, rs2, rs3, rs4, rs5;
      db.transaction(function (tx) {
          tx.executeSql("SELECT * FROM schema WHERE table_name=?",[table], function(ax, results){
              var size = results.rows.length, i;
              var item;
              for (i = 0; i < size; i++){
                  item = results.rows.item(i);
                  rs1 = item.col1;
                  rs2 = item.col2;
                  rs3 = item.col3;
                  rs4 = item.col4;
                  rs5 = item.col5;
                      alert(rs5); //correct values are being returned
                  callback([rs1, rs2, rs3, rs4, rs5]);
              }
          });
      });
  }
  
  // example of how to call getColumnNames with callback
  getColumnNames('importantTable', function (result)
  {
      console.log(result);
  });
  
  // alternative version
  function onCallback(result)
  {
      console.log(result);
  }
  
  getColumnNames('importantTable', onCallback);
  

  I hope this helps.

  See you soon,.

• Using the function PLSQL return Record Type Index of Tables in ADF

  I have a PLSQL function, a return type. My ultimate goal is to take this binary integer index Table and print it on the screen...

  CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE my_pkg IS
  TYPE t_col IS RECORD(
  i NUMBER,
  n VARCHAR2(30));
  TYPE t_nested_table IS TABLE OF t_col;
    FUNCTION return_table RETURN t_nested_table ;
END my_pkg;

  
  

  OPTION 1:
  

  1) has anyone got best practices to accept plsql RECORDS returned by a function?

  Here is an example.

  http://adfpractice-Fedor.blogspot.SG/2013/01/working-with-PLSQL-procedures-in-ADF-BC.html

  But it will be a lot of work... first of all accept the results in a loop... then store in a temporary storage can be a few VO or global temporary table and then display them on the page

  
  

  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...

  CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE my_pkg IS
  TYPE t_col IS RECORD(
  i NUMBER,
  n VARCHAR2(30));
  TYPE t_nested_table IS TABLE OF t_col;
    FUNCTION return_table RETURN t_nested_table PIPELINED;
END my_pkg;

  
  

  select * from table(my_pkg.return_table);

  
  

  Wow... I'm so smart! .. really possible?  who is the best/possible/recommended option?

  I'm sure that will be the question most read by many who wants to use PLSQL instead of JAVA to the treatment and CHOSEN to use only to display the output of the PLSQL functions or procedures.

  
  

  Thank you

  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).

  Agree with Marwim, using OUT parameters is very bad practice.

  Something would be more appropriate...

  SQL> create or replace function get_emp(empno in number) return sys_refcursor is
    2    rc sys_refcursor;
    3  begin
    4    open rc for 'select hiredate, ename from emp where empno = :1' using empno;
    5    return rc;

  If the customer requires a Ref cursor returned with data, otherwise a registration type / adapted collection could be returned and the integrated data to the that, although in general the collection of data in memory and the passage on the procedures is not the most ideal because it takes up resources such as memory of the PGA.
  Without special requirements, it is impossible to give a precise answer.

• Mathmatical function to return the value in injectors

  Hello
  I have obliged. If value for ex Lake 4400000, he should return as 4.4millions even for billions.
  is there an oracle function to return the value in this format. ???

  When I want to have a "readable" released in large numbers, I use to do the following:

    6  select n, case when n>1000000000 then trunc(n/1000000000,1)||' Billions'
    7  when n>1000000 then trunc(n/1000000,1)||' Millions'
    8  else to_char(n) end fmtn
    9  from t ;

  Moreover, lakh [url http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakh] has no meaning outside of South Asia.
  Especially for a French man like me, grown with [url http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units] International system of units that is fighting against what I call "funky" measures empirical such miles, yards, feet, inches, just not multiple of 10³
  Same billion mean differ depending on the country (see [url http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales] long and short scales)

• I can't insert a line using the function to return?

  Hello
  
  This doen't work code, do you know why?
  
  declare
  function my_func (a number)
  number of repetition
  is
  Start
  return number * number;
  end;
  Start
  
  insert into my_tab values (my_func (4));
  
  end;
  
  
  Moreover, there is not any constraint on my_tab, I'm just wondering, can we use back function in the SQL inset? or is there a problem?
  Thank you 1 million.

  Cant insert statement I use directly in function?

  Not recommended but also a possible way:

  SQL> create table my_tab (i int)
  /
  Table created.
  
  SQL> declare
    function my_func (a number)
      return number
    is

• Return a value to a field of text using personalization in the OPS

  Hi all
  
  I work in the OPS 12.1.1.
  
  Using customization,.
  My requirement is to perform a function or deteriorated by clicking a button.
  Or it will return a value.
  The value must be within a text field.
  
  Using the customization, I created a button in a seeded page.
  Additional using customization I could meet my requirement.
  
  By clicking the custom button, a value must be place in a sown field.
  
  Please advice.
  
  
  Thanks in advance,
  Roselyne

  Roselyne,

  You need to extend the CO to your needs.

  Call the procedure in section extended controller PFR, catch the event & & set the value in the bean.

  Kind regards
