SQL report with delete capability

I want to create a SQL report with the capability of delete rows (show checkboxes next to each row). Is this possible?

You can create a page type of Tabular Form, remove all buttons but delete, change all the edit boxes to display as text (saves state) and use that.

SQL Report with Scroll - javascript

This is an example of Apex SQL Report with Scroll - made with javascript: http://tryapexnow.com/apex/f?p=12090:9
Waiting for comments here.

Yes, because of the page generated by APEX, if you use the Report Template APEX 4.0 Standard, the div created for the report table has the ID "with_scroll" but there is another div which actually contains the table, and it's ID is "report_with_scroll", they just add a "report_" in front of it.
I find the table by searching through the childs of that div: var table = document.getElementById(myRegion).rows[1].cells[0].firstChild;
You can use the first one, with the ID "with_scroll", but this code line will be longer.
Also to addapt the script for other report templates, you just need to see the code generated by every template, and correct this line, to get the real table containing your report.

Pl-sql report with parameter

Hi
I have created report with region source as pl-sql. In pl-sql block, calling package where i am passing query. In query's where clause i want to pass paramter value which user had selected.
There are two regions on page. On upper part, there is select list, on lower part there is report with pl-sql region but value of select list is not found in query. I am trying to access with bind variable, select list of item :SL_TEXT. But it is not showing any value in it.
How to use select list value in query of report? Or let me know how to use parameter in pl-sql report which is selected in other region?
Thanks in advance

I am attempting to define the variable as a date variable through Oracle BI and yes it does use a colon to signal variable substitution.
So thank you the first way you stated should work.
The only problem I'm running into now I believe steems from the date format that column that I am trying to filter on. It is in what appears to be the worst format possible.
Is it common for dates to be stored in a DD-MON-YY format? (e.g. 01-JAN-08) I thought we as a community had moved past that post Y2K scare. lol.
When I set up the bind variable in BI it allows me to define the date format, much similar to the TO_DATE function but then it says (must be java date format). So I'm thinking that maybe DD-MON-YY is not a java date format.
In that case is there a way to cast or convert my date format in the sql so that it is a supported java date format?
Or should I just give up and pass it as a varchar2?

Problem of POP LOV in a SQL Report with pagination

I am using a pop up lov (along with some other fields), HTMLDB_ITEM.POPUP_FROM_LOV(5, null, 'EMPLOYEE_LIST', '20', '50')), in a sql report. This is a report with pagination. Whenever I select any value from pop up lov on first page of the report it gets populated properly in the corresponding text field. But from second page onwards it doesnt populate any value.
For example, my report fetches a total of 50 rows, of which I am displaying 15 at a time. The popup lov comes with a text field for each row. Whenever I do select from popup lov for 1-15 rows which come on page 1, the values come up in the text field properly, but for rows 16-30 on second page, 31-45 on third 46-50 on fourth the values do not get populated. When I changed the pagination settings to display 40 rows..the values were still coming properly on page 1(1-40 rows) and not on the next page. Any clues how to resolve this problem?

good find. this is a bug that has already been identified and will be corrected in the upcoming patch release for htmldb. a good work-around for now is to use the equivalent declarative options in the tool. so rather than coding your query like...
select ename , HTMLDB_ITEM.POPUP_FROM_LOV(2, null, 'DEPARTMENT', '20', '50') as "department" from emp
...just code it like this...
select ename , null as "department" from emp
...and then use the column attributes screen for your "department" column to indicate that you'd like that col to be rendered as a "Popup LOV (named LOV)" using your DEPARTMENT list of values.
hope this helps,

SQL Report with 1 updatable column - help urgent

Hi,
I have a SQL report. I am using collection to store value of selected record by link column.
I have a updatable text item (NULL) in the column. I am able to store that value in the collection.
Any clue?
Code
1. Creating a collection in parent page:
apex_collection.create_or_truncate_collection
(p_collection_name => 'ORDER');
2. Query to populate item rows with option to key 'QTY' before pressing 'Add to Order' link.
select
itemcode,
description,
NULL AS qty,
'Add to Order' add_to_order
from itemtab
3. Made 'QTY' to Text item -- to allow users to key value
4. Created 'hidden & protected' items P1_ITEMCODE, P1_QTY
5. Set values of itemcode, qty in add_to_order link
6. Created a process to add values into collection:
for x in (select * from itemtab where itemcode = :P1_ITEMCODE)
loop
apex_collection.add_member(p_collection_name => 'ORDER',
p_c001 => x.ITEMCODE,
p_c002 => x.DESCRIPTION,
p_c003 => :P1_QTY
end loop;
7. Display value of itemcode, description, qty in report region
select c001, c002, c003
from apex_collections
where collection_name = 'ORDER'
Probem: The value of qty is not being stored in the collection and not appearing in the #7 report. itemcode and description values are fine.
Thanks,
Dip

Dip,
I'm guessing here as I can't see your application, I think your missing the page process to collect the data from your QTY field.
I created a quick demo of what i think your trying to achieve on apex.oracle.com
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=19923:2
I added this to the html expression on the report Field add to:
<input type="button" onclick="doSubmit(#RANDOM_ID#)" value="Add To" />
Then the page process to collect and set the page item:
DECLARE
l_qty number;
BEGIN
FOR i in 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F03.COUNT LOOP
l_qty := nvl(APEX_APPLICATION.G_F03(i),0);
IF l_qty > 0
THEN
:P2_QTY := l_qty;
:P2_RANDOM_ID := :REQUEST;
EXIT;
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;
Let me know if this helps

Discoverer Custom SQL Report with Group By,Having

Hi all,
I'm working with Discoverer 4.1.41.05 and retrieve data from Oracle HRMS.
I want to create a report based on a custom SQL Folder in Discoverer Administration to solve the following scenario:
SELECT EMPLOYEE_NUMBER FROM PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F
MINUS
SELECT EMPLOYEE_NUMBER FROM PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F,PER_EVENTS, PER_BOOKINGS
GROUP BY EMPLOYEE_NUMBER
HAVING SUM(PER_EVENTS.ATTRIBUTE1) >= 10)
The problem is when I run the sql from SQL*Plus is working fine producing the correct result.
When I create the Custom Folder and create a Discoverer report based on it I retrieve all employees since the second select statement retrieve no rows!
Does anyone has any idea how I can solve this problem or if there is another way to create this scenario?
Any feedback is much appreciated.
Thanking you in advance.
Elena

Hi Elena,
I think you are missing some joins, you could try something like:
SELECT EMPLOYEE_NUMBER FROM PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F p
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT NULL
FROM PER_EVENTS e, PER_BOOKINGS b
WHERE b.person_id = p.person_id
AND e.event_id = b.event_id
GROUP BY b.person_id
HAVING SUM(e.ATTRIBUTE1) >= 10)

SQL Report with Total Salary

I have a select statement like this:
Select first_name, last_name, salary From Employee
I am getting report properly with this query. But my question is : How can get total salary at the bottom of report?
If I crate another region with a new SQL, I could do that but I want in single SQL or PL/SQL.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mushtak

Hi, you can do something like this:
Select first_name, last_name, salary From Employee
Union
Select null first_name, 'Total salary' last_name, Sum(salary) From Employee
order by first_name
Hope this helps

PLSQL-generated SQL report with variable number of columns

I created an app to track college football bowl picks:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=21723
The main report region includes columns for the various games as well as a column for each participant. In order not to hard code the number of participants, I used PLSQL to generate the SQL so that new columns could be added on the fly.
However, whenever I add a new user I get this result -
report error:
ORA-01403: no data found
If I copy and paste the PLSQL into a new report region and then delete the old one, however, all is well.
Is there something I can do to overcome this?
Thanks.

SQL: Struggling with DELETES

I need to delete records in a table that are based on joins
of other tables.
Getting the data via joins is easy, but I'm struggling to
figure out how to
delete items from one table based on a join from multiple
tables.
Heres one example:
I have two tables, items and categories.
To get the rows from items, I can use a join:
SELECT *
FROM items INNER JOIN
categories ON items.categoryID =
categories.categoryID
WHERE (items.categoryID = 9) OR
(categories.categoryParentID = 9)
Now, what if I want to delete the records from items, but not
delete any
records from categories?
Can I just use?:
DELETE FROM items INNER JOIN
categories ON items.categoryID =
categories.categoryID
WHERE (items.categoryID = 9) OR
(categories.categoryParentID = 9)
-Darrel

Lionstone:
Have time to help me with another one? ;o)
So, the next challenge is pretty much the same thing, but
with a
double-join. The query I use to get the data is such:
SELECT * FROM WeFAQsVariations INNER JOIN
WeFAQs faqs ON vars.collectionID = faqs.collectionID
INNER JOIN
We_about_categories cats ON faqs.categoryID =
cats.categoryID
WHERE (faqs.categoryID = 9) OR (cats.categoryParentID = 9)
I want to delete the records from WeFAQsVariations where the
collectionID
matches the colletionID of the record in the FAQs table where
the categoryID
is or is a child of '9'
I didn't get very far on this one, though, as the simple
delete command:
DELETE FROM WeFAQsVariations
WHERE collectionID = ?
won't work, as I'm going to be returning a bunch of different
collectionIDs.
I think I need the EXISTS condition:
DELETE FROM WeFAQsVariations
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT * FROM WeFAQs faqs INNER JOIN
We_about_categories cats ON faqs.categoryID =
cats.categoryID
WHERE (vars.collectionID = faqs.collectionID) AND
(faqs.categoryID = 9 OR
cats.categoryParentID = 9)
Did I come close?

Dynamic PL/SQL Report with html embedded in result

Hi,
I am trying to embed an html image tag element in an query result. I have followed the how to example (MS SQL down; Oracle up) successfully. However I now require the query to be dynamic based upon sone filtering criteria simalar to the how to example:
So the query code looks something like this:

declare

q varchar2(1000);

begin

q:= ' select ';

q:= q || ' decode(status, ';

q:= q || ' 1, ''<img src="up.gif">'', ';

q:= q || ' 0,''<img src="down.gif">'') status, ';

q:= q || ' item_id item ';

q:= q || ' from item_table ';

return q;

end;
(note this is a simplified example)
The problem is that the image does not display and I think it is because of the double quotes - " - embedded within the query string for the html image element.
Can anyone help, point out my error or suggest an more appropriate implementation.
Thank for any help!
sinclair

Sorry for the previous post. Here is what I did based on your example:
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:1
and it works.
The query is like:
DECLARE
q VARCHAR2 (1000);
BEGIN
q := q || 'SELECT deptno, DECODE(deptno, ';
q := q || '10, ''<img src=" #IMAGE_PREFIX#bullet1.gif" >'',';
q := q || '20, ''<img src=" #IMAGE_PREFIX#bullet2.gif" >'',';
q := q || '30, ''<img src=" #IMAGE_PREFIX#bullet3.gif" >'',';
q := q || '40, ''<img src=" #IMAGE_PREFIX#bullet4.gif" >'') ';
q := q || 'image, dname FROM DEPT ';
RETURN q;
END;
In your query you wrapped the image file name in double quotes, which wasn't necessary.

How to create a manual tabular form with DELETE capability

Since the wizard tabular form does not allow the use of checkboxes, I am building my tabular form manually following the HOW-TO document. I will need to be able to delete rows in the form in addition to inserting and updating. Is there a document somewhere that describes how to do this? The how-to doesn't cover it and I have searched the forums to no avail.
Thanks.
Darin

To create dynamic checkbox you can do the following:
SELECT HTMLDB_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,"your database field name", 'unchecked or checked') " "
FROM YOUR_TABLE_NAME OR DUAL;
...then...
In order to extrapolate the checkbox value you use following array:
htmldb_application.g_f01("subscript value)"
This array will contain value of checkbox. At this point you can do this:
if htmldb_application.g_f01("subscript value)" = 'Y'
THEN
INSERT DATA...
DELETE DATA...
END IF;
Hope this somewhat helps...
NOTE: I have entered a lot of pseudo values/code but I believe you can fill in the blanks for what you need.

Create a report with PL/SQL

Hi,
I have two pages: the first page contains two text fields and a submit button. In the first text field you can enter a name and in the second field you can enter a number. That means you can search a record by name or by number.
In the second page the report is generated depending on the used text field of the first page.
I tried to to define a region source code with PL/SQL for the report, but nothing appears on the report page although the record I was looking for exists in the database.
begin
if :ENTERNAME IS NOT NULL then
FOR item IN (select "TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_ID" as "PI_ID",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_NAME" as "PI_NAME",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_VORNAME" as "PI_VORNAME",
from "TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION" "TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"
where upper("TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_NAME") like upper(:ENTERNAME||'%'))
loop
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('First name = ' || item.PI_NAME ||
', Last name = ' || item.PI_VORNAME);
end loop;
end if;
end;

Hi,
ok thanks. I tried to use the SQL-Report with type "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL-Query)" and made a few changes in the SQL-Statement so that a second table is also included:
declare My_select varchar2(500);
begin
if :TEXTEINGABENAME IS NOT NULL then
My_select:='SELECT
"TB_ADRESSE"."A_PLZ" "A_PLZ",
"TB_ADRESSE"."A_ORT" "A_ORT",
"TB_ADRESSE"."A_ID" "A_ID",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_MITGLIEDSNUMMER" "PI_MITGLIEDSNUMMER",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_NAME" "PI_NAME",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_VORNAME" "PI_VORNAME",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_ERGAENZUNG" "PI_ERGAENZUNG",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_ERGAENZUNG1" "PI_ERGAENZUNG1",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_ID" "PI_ID"
FROM
"TB_ADRESSE" "TB_ADRESSE",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION" "TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"
WHERE "TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_ID" = "TB_ADRESSE"."A_F_PERSON_INSTITUTION"
AND upper("TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_NAME") like upper(:TEXTEINGABENAME||"%")';
else
if :TEXTMITGLIEDSNUMMER is not null then
My_select:='SELECT

AND upper("TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_MITGLIEDSNUMMER") like upper(:TEXTMITGLIEDSNUMMER||"%")';
end if;
end if;
return My_select;
end;
When I try to apply changes an error message occurs:
"Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the ''generic columns'' checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing. The query can not be parsed, the cursor is not yet open or a function returning a SQL query returned without a value."

SQL report link to another report

Hello,
I am using Apex 4 and trying to link an sql report with another report. If I were able to use an interactive report I could easily link that to another page, but that would require me to have a primary key. The problem is that I need to link a few tables. So two questions:
1.) Can I link these via an HTML link to my other page? I would have a HTML link in my report that would link via URL parameter passing. So can I use HTML in a report?
2.) What is the syntax for a parameter passing via URL? Here is my link that would be:
a href= f?p=107:40:&APP_SESSION::::P40_NAME:MARK: Are there any other ways to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Mark

I am using Apex 4 and trying to link an sql report with another report. If I were able to use an interactive report I could easily link that to another page
It's easy in standard reports< /a>. (Ignore the "Interactive Report" typo in step 1.)
1.) Can I link these via an HTML link to my other page? I would have a HTML link in my report that would link via URL parameter passing. So can I use HTML in a report?You can, but it's better practice to keep data retrieval and HTML structure separate when possible—in this case by using declarative Column Links.
2.) What is the syntax for a parameter passing via URL?This is also covered in the documentation.
Here is my link that would be: a href= f?p=107:40:&APP_SESSION::::P40_NAME:MARK:
{quote}
That looks to have the order of the parameters correct, but it's missing some syntax:<a href="f?p=107:40:&APP_SESSION.::::P40_NAME:MARK">...</a>
The static text exact substitution method of referencing the value of an APEX item requires a terminating dot ("."): <tt>&APP_SESSION.</tt>

PL/SQL report export to csv

Hi,
If you create a pl/sql report there is no option to create a csv. I need that functionality on my page anyway. Is there a way of programming this? Perhaps there is a export_to_csv api?

i will create my page based on a collection. Its a sort of summary report, but with an unknown number of columns.
Collection 'Dealers'
....................DealerA Dealer B Dealer C Dealer D
region1..............1..............4........... 7............2
region2............. 9........................... 5............3
the regions are rows, the number of dealers is unknown. Thats why I need to use a pl/sql report, with htp. prints (htp.tabledata etc)

Empty report with pagination, rows not displayed

Dear HTML DB Team,
We have in our reports the next error: An empty report with pagination appears , no rows not displayed
The test case to reproduce the error:
1. Create "SQL report" with next report attributes in "Layout and Pagination"
a. Row ranges 1-15 16-30 in select list (with pagination)
b. Number of Rows : 15
c. Number of Rows (Item): empty
d. Max Row Count: empty
2. Fill the table on which the report is based with 17 rows
3. Go to the 2nd page of the report , pagination rows 16-17 of 17
4. Remove 2 rows from the table, refresh report
5, The pagination shows now 1 - 15 of 15 rows
- no rows displayed
- no "previous button" ( only )
- no way to get the rows displayed, except logging out and in again
Any suggestions?
Erik

Hello,
i encountered the same problem while developing in HTMLDB.
In application builder, i select application Application 106, then click on items, then click next ( the application has 22 global items). Now i want to take a look at the global items in application 105 (there are only 5). In the menu i click Builder - Application 106, select application 105 from Available Applications, click Go and Items. It shows no rows, but says that is displaying rows 1-5, and offers a Next button. No way to see/modify the items unless make a new session or go back to Application 106, Click Previous to see the first page of global items and then again switch to Appication 105 or click to the next button and then manually set pg_min_row=1 in URL.
One more question - is this forum the right place to report bug suspicions, or is there some other special place for that?
Best regards,
Andres
