2 Bugs - Apex 4 - Websheets & Query Builder

Hello,
Just to make someone from the Apex Dev team aware if they aren't already.
I've come across what i think is a bug in Websheets where if you create a data grid or interactive report and then save a Named Copy of the report (so that the select list appears at the top of the report/grid with the saved report names). When you then click on any of the drop down menus like Actions, Manage, or any of the drop down tabs at the top of the page (Page, Data, Annotations, Administration) the background of the menu goes transparent making it really difficult to read the options in the menu if there is some text behind it.
If you then delete the saved report so that you just have the one version, and refresh the page the problem dissapears. I've only found this issue when using Internet Explorer 8 (not sure about earlier versions), as far as I am aware this doesn't happen in Firefox or Chrome.
Also if you log into Apex using Google Chrome and go to the Query Builder under SQL Workshop. If you click and add a table with quite a few columns (10 or more) the scroll bar is missing down the right hand side which means there is no way to select/view all of the columns in that table.
Thanks.

Better make that 3 bugs.
Create a data grid from spreadsheet data. There must be a very small limit on the data you can actually upload using this thing, I just tried to upload 50 rows of data containing 12 columns (not exactly a massive amount). The data is a fictional list of employees, I have pasted the tab delimited data below.
It fails, but rather than giving an error message like "Too Much Data" it just clears out the text area and says "Data Must Be Provided". Also it doesn't seem to say anywhere what the limit on pasted data is.
I'd really appreciate it if somebody could respond to this ticket to let me know that these issues have been acknowledged.
Thanks.

Bug in Application/Query Builder?

I created an SQL query using the query builder in 10g. It didn't work. I pasted the same query into SQL Commands. It worked. I pasted the same query into the Application Builder. It didn't work. (By didn't work, I mean it gave me 500 rows of a 2000+ row view.) Has anyone come across this before? For the life of me, I can't figure out what's going wrong.

Hi
I think, it isn't a bug.
Per default all tabular forms are limited by 500 rows.
You see at the end the message "row(s) 1 - 15 of more than 500"
Greetings
Sven

Query Builder on APEX

Is it possible to write SQL code from within the Query Builder, and if so how do you do that? Thanks!

Hi,
I think that depends on what your aim is. If, for example, you wanted to create a SQL View, you could go to Object Browser, click Create (top-right), select View and then click the Query Builder option. Once you've completed the query, you click Return to pass the code back into the Create View page. There are other places within Apex, where Query Builder is available.
Otherwise, there are packages available such as the free SQL Developer ([http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/index.html]) that may be able to help you.

Query Builder - foreign key relationships not showing automatically

Is it standard functionality in APEX that foreign key to primary key relationships are not shown in Query Builder when choosing related tables? Do you always have to join FKs to PKs manually (i.e. using control click) whenever you create joins in queries? In Oracle forms and SQL Developer the foreign key constaints are always draw in automatically. Any reason why this is not part of APEX's query builder as well? It's such a hassel to have to put them in each time when the relationships could easily be read directly from the data dictionary constraints.

Query Builder - Where Clause - Could not format error using date comparison

We've come across a bug in the Query Builder, under the Create Where Clause tab, if you select a column of Date type plus one of the comparison operators =, !=, <, >, <=, >=, BETWEEN or NOT BETWEEN it displays an error in the Logging Page:
Level: Severe
Source: o.d.r.queryBuilder.SQLGenerator
Message: Could not format :2010-09-02 16:20:31.0
Then under the Show SQL tab it doesn't display the date(s) you selected, e.g.
WHERE LAST_UPDATE BETWEEN AND
Also the View Results tab does not display any results.
You can still press Apply to add the SQL as is to the editor window and from there you have to manually code in the date parameters.
We're using the latest version of SQL Developer 2.1.1.64.45 Windows 32bit version with JDK

Hi Gordon,
When I add the following lines:
declare @refdt1 date
set @refdt =
/*select 1 from jdt1 t0 where t0.RefDate*/ '[%1]'
declare @refdt2 date
set @refdt =
/*select 1 from jdt2 t0 where t0.RefDate*/ '[%2]'
WHERE T0.RefDate >= @refdt1 and T0.RefDate <= @refdt2
... the error message is now:
Must declare the scalar variable @refdt1
Note: Before adding these lines, the query works perfectly, and returns totals from the whole database (with dynamically generated column headings!)
Thanks
Leon Lai

Apex 4.2 - Query Builder buglet

Hi,
when I am trying to create a new report in Apex 4.2 using the Query builder. As the Query builder pops up, the Region that will hold the SQL pops up with an error looking something like this;
*1 error has occurred Report SQL must be specified. (Go to error)*.
Obviously whatever validation is creating this error should only happen when you click on the next button as opposed to when the Query builder is popped up.
I was able to reproduce this on apex.oracle.com
Kofi

The query builder in report query as a BIG BUG!!! If have 2 tables and link its and sel some fields in query builder popup the result dont work. If you click in download button you receive this message: "apex/wwv_flow.accept was not found on this server". If your query was a litle query this function work well but if your query have more than 2 tables the report query doesnt work, This is a Oracle Apex BUG!

BUG? Query Builder Fails in IE 9

I'm using a hosted setup with Application Express v 4.1.1.00.23
The query builder works with Firefox and Chrome but when I try it with IE9 (9.0.8) the bottom frame doesn't respond to the upper frame (like selecting columns). When I press Run the results pane reads "Please enter a valid Query".
Greg

All,
This appears to be bug 13825002, which was fixed in APEX 4.2. To verify, please log into apex.oracle.com, and see if it reproduces there.

hi scott,
we no need to buid a report.we want generate a sql query using GUI drag and drop query builder.
our suggestion is provide synonym for all objects and give to clinet,but in apex query builder only show view and table...
it not show synonym thats the problem..
simply we want oracle query browser.just want build a query.through synonym schema.
we cerate a oracle user and provide synonym for live tables.then we provide the synonym user to client place,so they want build a query simpl.

Tables not in Query Builder table list bug?

In HTML DB version 1.6.0.00.87 we have tables defined in our schema in our workspace. When we create a view and click on the [Query Builder] link, no tables are in the drop down list for our schema. Why? The schema is there. I can go into the SQL Workshop and query the records our of the tables, but they are not listed in the [Query Builder].
I tried this same function but with my workspace at htmldb.oracle.com. The tables in my schema are listed there.
Is this a bug that was fixed in version 1.6.1.00.02?

There is one schema assigned to the workspace. That schema is listed in the pop-up window. Here are the steps I am doing:
1.) Click on SQL Workshop
2.) Click on Create Object
3.) Click on View
4.) The correct schema is listed in the Schema field. There is only one schema in the drop-down list for the Schema field.
5.) Click on [Query Builder]. A separate browser window appears with the correct schema. There is only one value in the drop-down list for the schema. "- Select Table -" is in the TABLE field.
6.) I click on the TABLE field to get a list of tables for the schema. Only "- Select Table -" is listed. No other tables are listed.
I can cancel the Create View and return to the main page of the SQL Workshop. I can click on Tables to see what table are available. I select the correct SCHEMA and see the list of tables.
I tried this in the same version of HTML DB (v 1.6.0.00.87) in a different database ie. a different HTML DB repository and received the same results, missing tables in the pop-up page
I do not know why the tables do not list in the [Query Builder] for the Create View.

Query builder -APEX

Hi,
Is Apex users eg. developer user possible to access only query builder in oracle application express?
Regards,
Latha

Hi Latha,
I believe in APEX 4.0 you can do that.
For now you would need to write a query builder yourself... (it's just an APEX app)

Possible bug: Query Builder deletes comments in Worksheet?

Good morning,
with Oracle SQL Developer 3.2.20.09 with included JDK on Windows 7 32 bit, we loaded a sql file containing a query with some comments (beginning with -- or /*).
We formatted the sql code with the automatic format tool without any problem.
But when we added or modified some criteria in the Query Builder, after saving the file the comments lines in the Worksheet are gone.
Thanks for reading and best regards.
Marco - Italy

Hi Marco,
Please note that SQL Developer has included a Query Builder from a third-party since the 3.0 release. I will ping the developer that acts as liaison; perhaps you will get a more definitive response. Until then, you may consider the response to one bug I logged concerning some complex SQL the Query Builder's parser did not properly handle:
Query Builder is a visual environment targeted at novice/intermediate users. There are a number of advanced and/or hard to visualize language features that are not supported.*
Perhaps the use case of opening an external SQL file (potentially large / complex / with comments) may go beyond the intended usage of interactive development for the novice/intermediate user.

Possible bugs when adjusting column width in Query Builder

Good morning,
we use Oracle SQL Developer 3.2.20.09 with included JDK on Windows 7 32 bit.
When we open a sql file, in the Query Builder the criteria columns don't auto-adjust accordingly with the length of text present in the columns.
Also, if we modify or type a new criteria in a column, and immediately after drag the column header to widen the cell, the cell content is erased (if we click first in another cell the problem doesn't occur).
Thanks for reading and best regards.

Please note that SQL Developer has included a Query Builder from a third-party since the 3.0 release. I will ping the developer that acts as liaison; perhaps you will get a more definitive response. I can only assume any UI bugs would have to be fixed by the third-party company at his request.

1.5.4 Query Builder Bug?

I was testing the Query Builder with SQL developer version 1.5.4. It seems to have problems when trying to add the same table twice to the query.
Example was to use the employees table from HR schema to create a query showing employees and managers. When clicking the second time on the employees table then the query builder did just "hang" there indefinitly.
Did I miss some important step like giving alias names to the tables?

There's an accepted enhancement request for this at the Echange. Go vote to add weight for future implementation.

K.

Query builder bug in outer joins ?

I understood that if you were joining two tables A and B, the following was a
LEFT OUTER JOIN
SELECT A.COL, B.COL
FROM A, B
WHERE A.ID = B.ID (+)
ie: a LEFT outer join has the (+) on the Right-hand table.
However, query builder puts the (+) on the Left-hand table.
Same for a RIGHT outer join - I think the (+) should be on the Left-hand table, but query builder puts it on the Right-hand table.
Cheers,

Hi Andrew,
I just played a little with the query builder and created a join between two of my tables:
PROJECTS and ACTIVITIES, linked via KCC.
When I create a left outer join in query builder, I get the following result:
select     "PROJECTS"."KCC" as "KCC"
from     "ACTIVITIES" "ACTIVITIES",
     "PROJECTS" "PROJECTS"
where "PROJECTS"."KCC"(+) ="ACTIVITIES"."KCC"
Which is correct: Left refers to the first table in the from clause (ACTIVITIES) and places the (+) on the other table!
Left and right refers to the order of tables in the from clause, not in the where clause. Query builder sorts the tables in FROM alphabetically, maybe this is differing from the graphical order in query builder.

Query Builder does not appear in my APEX installation

I cannot find a button or tab to access the Query Builder. Either I am looking in the wrong place (SQL Workshop) or it was somehow not installed?
Thanks.

Thanks, but my problem is that that button is not there.
On the main page I have a big button named "SQL Workshop". When I click that I get 3 big buttons - "SQL Command Processor", "User Interface Defaults", "Create Object".
The same page has another region called "Database Browser" with other smaller graphic buttons and another region for "SQL Scripts". But nothing that says SQL Builder.
