• Return multiple values from a table

  Hi there I'm working on a bit of sql that returns values when they exist in a table.
  The code I have returns the correct value when there is an entry in the tbl_studentmodules table, as soon as there is more than one entry in this table it does display no line at all: (.)
  
  Can someone tell how to return multiple values?
  
  

               select modulename from tbl_modulefeedback
  where 1 = (select count(*) from tbl_studentmodules
         where upper(:APP_USER) = upper(student_id))
  and 1 = (select count(*) from tbl_modulefeedback, tbl_studentmodules
        where tbl_modulefeedback.modulecode = tbl_studentmodules.modulecode)

  Thanks in advance!
  
  Ashleigh

  Try this:

  select modulename
  from tbl_modulefeedback
  where 1 <= (select count(*) from tbl_studentmodules
         where upper(:APP_USER) = upper(student_id))
  and 1 <= (select count(*) from tbl_modulefeedback, tbl_studentmodules
        where tbl_modulefeedback.modulecode = tbl_studentmodules.modulecode)

• How to return multiple variables from a function

  Hello

  As seen below, I tried more then return a variable to a function, but I think I have a syntax problem...

  function hesapla3 (parameter1, parameter 2): (number & & Boolean) / / PROBLEM IS HERE, I have NEED of TWO VARIABLES to RETURN
  {
  var yenideger2:Number = new Number();
  var bol2:Boolean = new Boolean();
  yenideger2 = parameter1 + parameter 2;
  if(yenideger2>80) {bol2 = false ;}
  Return yenideger2;
  return bol2;
  trace (yenideger2);
  trace (bol2);
  }

  You can do it this way.

  You can combine the 2 to 1 as a var

  var tekdeger:String=yenideger2.toString()+"-"+bol2.toString();

  Return tekdeger;

  and then you can split and mount the value returned into variables that you want...

• 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.

• Return multiple values at once of the listOfValues region

  Friends,
  
  I created a (listOfValues) region that has 4 fields/columns
  
  ResponsibilityName, ResponsibilityId, ApplicationName, ApplicationId
  
  I assigned a responsibility field ResponsibilityName of the listOfValues in a page.
  
  It works fine when I select a value in this LOV. It returns a value to the field of 'Responsibility' of the page.
  
  Is it possible to return the other 3 fields so while selecting ResponsibilityName in LOV. for example while you select a value for the field 'Responsibility', can the LOV return ResponsibilityId LOV to the 'ResponsibilityId' field in the page, at the same time?
  
  1 selection can return values 1 to the fields?

  You can return multiple values in the LOV. Simply create a result to the mapping of the array element Lov to the basic element of page. Once you select a value from the LOV, the element of basic page could get filled in with the value on the table of lov whereby it has been mapped.

• How to return two values of a function?

  Hi all
  I have a function which returns a varchar2 value. This value is used in the SQL of a ref cursor
  
  Now I want this function returns two values. I tried to use varray, but could not accomplish the task.
  
  Can you tell me how can I find the two values from a function? and how this function can be called in a SQL query?
  
  Thank you very much

  The query should look like:

  SELECT v.col.name AS name
       , v.col.flag AS flag
  FROM   ( SELECT kk_test_kk(t.somecolumn,t.someothercolumn,42) AS col
           FROM   sometable t ) v;
  

  Note that you need to prefix with the name of view inline ('v' in the example) and the expression of the function ('col' in the example).

• Plugin to point that returns multiple values

  When you create an APEX element that can return multiple values, such as a checkbox, APEX uses the settings of varchar2 p_v01 - p_v200 instead of the p_t01 table settings - p_t200.

  I would like to create a plugin item type that can return multiple values in the same way, so that the session recorded for the item state contains a delimited string of values.  I realize, I could achieve with Javascript and a hidden item, but I really want to a non-Javascript solution.  Is this possible?  If this isn't the case, it would be a nice improvement!

  Hi Tony,.

  Take a look at the level of the parameter p_is_multi_value of the APEX_PLUGIN. GET_INPUT_NAME_FOR_PAGE_ITEM api (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc.42/e35127/apex_plugin.htm#AEAPI1254). If you set it to TRUE, you will get one of the p_v01 - p_v200 table settings. It's the same what our box element type calls.

  4. only cancel works.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  OUT parametere v_r could contain data for one line only, so if your query

  Select * into v_r from emp

  returns multiple rows, you're bound to get "ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than number of lines.

  You can use SYS_REFCURSOR or Collections instead.

• How to pass parameter in the function using the select statement?

  Hello
  
  I had a problem. I can't pass as parameter to the function by using the select statement. But it can pass as a parameter using the "code". How can I solve this problem?
  
  For example,.
  Select * from table (SplitFunction ('HS750020, HS750021')) < < < this work.
  
  but
  
  Select * from table (SplitFunction (select LOT_NO in the TRACER_SEARCH_SCHEDULE where JOB_ID = '36')) < < < do not work.
  
  Thank you for trying to help him. Thank you.

  Select * from table (SplitFunction (select LOT_NO in the TRACER_SEARCH_SCHEDULE where JOB_ID = '36'))< do="" not="">

  Try like this

  select * from table(select splitfunction(lot_no) from tracer_search_schedule where job_id='36')
  

  Just make sure that your subquery returns only 1 row.

• can we write the function in a select statement?

  I have function and there Out parameter, so in this case I can write a select statement to my function to retrieve the value?

  user11195165 wrote:

  Never mind that it's bad! for a function to have an OUT parameter. That's not how the functions should be designed and written.

  It's like with a knife like a spoon to eat porridge. Of course, it can work in a way. But why? A knife was never designed to be a spoon - and while it may work of porridge to eat, you'll have a hell of a time trying to use it to eat the soup. So, use the right tool.

  In other words, a function is the wrong tool for the job. Use a procedure.
