Bdoc task M - Function like in SQL?

Hi,
can anyone tell me, what the bdoc task M = modify does? Does it act like the SQL task on a database?
If for example a bupa_rel has task M and should change a relationship that does not exist, would it create a new one?
Best Regards
Chris

This appears to be a duplicate of the question in this thread
Re: VPD issue Need Assistance ASAP
where I wrote
"Your function returns a single string that happens to have a bunch of commas and quotes in it. An IN list generally requires a list of strings, which your function doesn't return.
You could rewrite the function to be a pipelined table function and then do
select count(*)
from baseclient.address_detail
where cidn in (SELECT cidn
FROM TABLE(<<your pipelined table function>>))
However, I would expect it to be easier not to wrap all this into a function and just have your IN clause be the logic in your predicate_cidn cursor.

Using financial functions like xirr,irr,npv

Hi Guys!,
I would like to make use of financial functions like xirr,irr,npv using oracle/forms/sql , is there any resource available in oracle product family, if no how can i use there functions using oracle products.
Thanks in advance
Uday

I'm unsure which Oracle product might include built-in financial functions -- perhaps one their Business Intelligence products? If your math and Java skills are up to the task, you might consider writing a JavaBean that contains your own implementations of the financial functions you require.

PL/SQL function body returning SQL query - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

I'm attempting to dynamically generate a rather large SQL query via the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" report region option. The SQL query generated will possibly be over 32K. When I execute my page, I sometimes receive the "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error" which points to a larger than 32K query that was generated. I've seen other posts in the forum related to this dynamic SQL size limitation issue, but they are older (pre-2010) and point to the 32K limit of the DNS (EXECUTE IMMEDIATE) and DBMS_SQL. I found this post (dynamic sql enhancements in 11g) which discusses 11g no longer having the 32K size limitation for generating dynamic SQL. Our environment is on 11gR2 and using ApEx 4.2.1. I do not know which dynamic SQL method -- DNS or DBMS_SQL -- ApEx 4.2.1 is using. Can someone clarify for me which dynamic SQL method ApEx uses to implement the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" option?
As a test, I created a page on apex.oracle.com with a report region with the following source:
declare
l_stub varchar2(25) := 'select * from sys.dual ';
l_sql clob := l_stub || 'union all ';
br     number(3) := 33;
begin
while length ( l_sql ) < 34000 loop
    l_sql := l_sql || l_stub || 'union all ';
end loop;
l_sql := l_sql || l_stub;
for i in 1 .. ceil ( length ( l_sql ) / br ) loop
    dbms_output.put_line ( dbms_lob.substr ( l_sql, br, ( ( i - 1 ) * br ) + 1 ) );
end loop;
return l_sql;
end;
The dbms_output section is there to be able to run this code in SQL*Plus and confirm the size of the SQL is indeed larger than 32K. When running this in SQL*Plus, the procedure is successful and produces a proper SQL statement which can be executed. When I put this into the report region on apex.oracle.com, I get the ORA-06502 error.
I can certainly implement a work-around for my issue by creating a 'Before Header' process on the page which populates an ApEx collection with the data I am returning and then the report can simply select from the collection, but according to documentation, the above 32K limitation should be resolved in 11g. Thoughts?

What setting do you use in your report properties - especially in Type and in Region Source?
If you have Type="SQL Query", then you should have a SELECT statement in the Region Source. Something like: SELECT .... FROM ... WHERE
According to the ERR-1101 error message, you have probably set Type to "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)". In this situation APEX expects you to write a body of a PL/SQL function, that will generate the text of a SQL query that APEX should run. So it can be something like:
declare
mycond varchar2(4000);
begin
if :P1_REPORT_SEARCH is not null THEN
mycond:='WHERE LAST_NAME like :P1_REPORT_SEARCH ||''%''';
end if;
return 'select EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME from EMPLOYEES ' ||mycond;
end;
And for escaping - are you interested in escaping the LIKE wildcards, or the quotes?
For escaping the wildcards in LIKE function so that when the user enters % you will find a record with % and not all functions, look into the SQL Reference:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/conditions007.htm
(You would than need to change the code of your function accordingly).
If you are interested in escaping the quotes, try to avoid concatenating the values entered by the user into the SQL. If you can, use bind variables instead - as I have in my example above. If you start concatenating the values into the text of SQL, you are open to SQLInjection - user can enter anything, even things that will break your SQL. If you really need to allow users to choose the operator, I would probably give them a separate combo for operators and a textfield for values, than you could check if the operator is one of the allowed ones and create the condition accordingly - and than still use bind variable for inserting the filtering value into the query.

Error in report when executing pl/sql function body returning sql query.

Hi,
I have used the pl/sql function body returning sql query for creating a report. I have created a datepicker(
P10_TASK_DATE) which can be submitted.The code is as below
DECLARE
v_sql varchar2(3000);
BEGIN
if :P10_TASK_DATE is not null THEN
v_sql:='select
* from tasks';
return v_sql;
else
v_sql:='select * from discovery';
return v_sql;
END IF;
END;if the date field is empty "select * from discovery" is executed and report is getting generated. But when we give a
date using date picker the page is submitted and i get "report error: ORA-01403: no data found" even
though the "tasks" table has data in it. Plz help
Thanks,
TJ

hi
Please try this
1. Create 2 region
1st region source=
select * from tasks'
go to the tab -> condition =
item NOT NULL
EXpression1 =:P10_TASK_DATE
this will run whenever the item have any date
2. open your 2 nd region source code= select * from discovery
put the condition
item is NULL
EXpression1 =:P10_TASK_DATE
thanks

[Forum FAQ] How do I send multiple rows returned by Execute SQL Task as Email content in SQL Server Integration Services?

Question:
There is a scenario that users want to send multiple rows returned by Execute SQL Task as Email content to send to someone. With Execute SQL Task, the Full result set is used when the query returns multiple rows, it must map to a variable of the Object data
type, then the return result is a rowset object, so we cannot directly send the result variable as Email content. Is there a way that we can extract the table row values that are stored in the Object variable as Email content to send to someone?
Answer:
To achieve this requirement, we can use a Foreach Loop container to extract the table row values that are stored in the Object variable into package variables, then use a Script Task to write the data stored in packages variables to a variable, and then set
the variable as MessageSource in the Send Mail Task.
Add four variables in the package as below:
Double-click the Execute SQL Task to open the Execute SQL Task Editor, then change the ResultSet property to “Full result set”. Assuming that the SQL Statement like below:
SELECT   Category, CntRecords
FROM         [table_name]
In the Result Set pane, add a result like below (please note that we must use 0 as the result set name when the result set type is Full result set):
Drag a Foreach Loop Container connects to the Execute SQL Task.
Double-click the Foreach Loop Container to open the Foreach Loop Editor, in the Collection tab, change the Enumerator to Foreach ADO Enumerator, then select User:result as ADO object source variable.
Click the Variable Mappings pane, add two Variables as below:
Drag a Script Task within the Foreach Loop Container.
The C# code that can be used only in SSIS 2008 and above in Script Task as below:
public void Main()
   // TODO: Add your code here
            Variables varCollection = null;
            string message = string.Empty;
            Dts.VariableDispenser.LockForWrite("User::Message");
            Dts.VariableDispenser.LockForWrite("User::Category");
            Dts.VariableDispenser.LockForWrite("User::CntRecords");
            Dts.VariableDispenser.GetVariables(ref varCollection);
            //Format the query result with tab delimiters
            message = string.Format("{0}\t{1}\n",
                                        varCollection["User::Category"].Value,
                                        varCollection["User::CntRecords"].Value
           varCollection["User::Message"].Value = varCollection["User::Message"].Value + message;
           Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
The VB code that can be used only in SSIS 2005 and above in Script Task as below, please note that in SSIS 2005, we should
change PrecompileScriptIntoBinaryCode property to False and Run64BitRuntime property to False
Public Sub Main()
        ' Add your code here
        Dim varCollection As Variables = Nothing
        Dim message As String = String.Empty
        Dts.VariableDispenser.LockForWrite("User::Message")
        Dts.VariableDispenser.LockForWrite("User::Category")
        Dts.VariableDispenser.LockForWrite("User::CntRecords")
        Dts.VariableDispenser.GetVariables(varCollection)
        'Format the query result with tab delimiters
        message = String.Format("{0}" & vbTab & "{1}" & vbLf, varCollection("User::Category").Value, varCollection("User::CntRecords").Value)
        varCollection("User::Message").Value = DirectCast(varCollection("User::Message").Value,String) + message
        Dts.TaskResult = ScriptResults.Success
End Sub
Drag Send Mail Task to Control Flow pane and connect it to Foreach Loop Container.
Double-click the Send Mail Task to specify the appropriate settings, then in the Expressions tab, use the Message variable as the MessageSource Property as below:
The final design surface like below:

Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
in a supported way?
Thanks! Josh

Use of ROW_NUMBER() function in PL/SQL

I have a Table Emp with the following Structure
SQL> desc emp
Name Null? Type
EMPNO NUMBER(2)
ENAME VARCHAR2(50)
HIREDATE DATE
DEPTNO NUMBER(2)
If I write a following query on this table
SQL> SELECT deptno, hiredate, record_id
2 FROM (SELECT deptno, ename, hiredate, ROW_NUMBER()
3 OVER (ORDER BY hiredate) AS record_id
4 FROM emp)
5 WHERE record_id >= 2
6 AND record_id <=5;
The Result I get is
DEPTNO HIREDATE RECORD_ID
10 22-NOV-01 2
10 22-NOV-01 3
10 22-NOV-01 4
10 22-NOV-01 5
But if I put this query in a cursor in a PL/SQL block. The
pl/sql does not compiles and gives me the following address

Question: Can you please tell me how I can use the ROW_NUMBER()
function in PL/SQL. I need to use this for selecting the correct
range of records for Pagination on a website.
Thanks in advance
Prashant

As Andrew said, PL/SQL hasn't caught up with the newer bits of
SQL. I have heard that in 9i, they will be the same, but in 8i
there are still things that you can do in SQL that you cannot do
directly in PL/SQL, such as the new functions like ROW_NUMBER.
However, you can use NDS as a work around. The following does
the same as what you posted:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
TYPE c_my_type IS REF CURSOR;
c_my               c_my_type;
TYPE c_rec_type IS RECORD
    (deptno          emp.deptno%TYPE,
     ename           emp.ename%TYPE,
     hiredate        emp.hiredate%TYPE,
     record_id       INTEGER);
c_rec              c_rec_type;
v_sql              VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
v_sql :=
'SELECT deptno, ename, hiredate, record_id
   FROM   (SELECT deptno, ename, hiredate,
                  ROW_NUMBER() OVER
                    (ORDER BY hiredate)
                    AS record_id
          FROM    emp)
   WHERE record_id >= 2
   AND    record_id <= 5';
OPEN c_my FOR v_sql;
LOOP
    FETCH c_my INTO c_rec;
    EXIT WHEN c_my%NOTFOUND;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (c_rec.ename);
END LOOP;
END;
However, you stated that you need it for selecting the correct
range of records for pagination on a website. For that, you
will want something more like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE package_name
AS
TYPE c_my_type     IS     REF cursor;
PROCEDURE procedure_name
    (c_my            IN OUT c_my_type,
     p_record_id1    IN     NUMBER DEFAULT 1,
     p_record_id2    IN     NUMBER DEFAULT 4);
END package_name;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY package_name
AS
PROCEDURE procedure_name
    (c_my            IN OUT c_my_type,
     p_record_id1    IN     NUMBER DEFAULT 1,
     p_record_id2    IN     NUMBER DEFAULT 4)
IS
    v_sql                   VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
    v_sql :=
        'SELECT deptno, ename, hiredate, record_id'
    || ' FROM   (SELECT deptno, ename, hiredate,'
    ||                ' ROW_NUMBER() OVER'
    ||                  ' (ORDER BY hiredate)'
    ||                  ' AS record_id'
    || ' FROM    emp)'
    || ' WHERE record_id >= :a'
    || ' AND    record_id <= :b';
    OPEN c_my FOR v_sql
    USING p_record_id1, p_record_id2;
END procedure_name;
END package_name;

Pl/sql function body returning SQL query - Print function

Hello all,
I have pl/sql function body returning SQL query for my reports for my new project that I am developing. We dont have any BI tool or anything for APEX so we use Oracle reports to get the same reports to be printed in PDF format. I had been using SQL function for Reports all these days and grabbing the data using SQL query was easy in Oracle reports. But this time we had atleast 8 fields in search criteria and hence I thouhgt PL/sql function body returning SQL query could be something easy to handle that scenario. We have 11 such reports in our project. Now when we tried to use the same PL/sql function to oracle reports , I was told by one of our Oracle reports expert, that we have to write it into functions and use it in SQL query to get the Reports in Oracle reports. Is there any Easy way to convert the same Pl/SQL function or get a PDF format of the same report in APEX without going thru the much pains of rewriting the whole SQL Query.
thank you

Query on Reoprts-pl/sql function body returning sql query

Hi,
I am facing a starnge problem.. and would like to know the reason for it.
The situation is as follows:
I have a report (pl/sql function body returning sql query based). My query is as follows:
declare
l_query1 varchar2(2000);
begin
if (:P102_min_value is not null and :P102_max_value is null) then
l_query1 := 'select decode(:P102_date,'1',date1) Transaction_Date, decode(:P102_first_name,'2',first_name) First_Name from (
select * from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where APPRX_LOAN_AMOUNT >=:P102_min_value
return (l_query1);
end if;
end;
This returns the error as :
1 error has occurred
Function returning SQL query: 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.
(ORA-06550: line 7, column 20: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "1" when expecting one of the following: * & = - + ; < / > at in is mod remainder not rem <> or != or ~= >= <= <> and or like LIKE2_ LIKE4_ LIKEC_ between || multiset member SUBMULTISET_)
How do i correct this? am i right in thinking that the single quotes indicating a string within a select query is creating the problem? Beacuse if i use an sql query report and use the following query, it is working fine...
select
decode(:P102_date,'1',date1) Transaction_Date,
decode(:P102_first_name,'2',first_name) First_Name
from (
select * from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where APPRX_LOAN_AMOUNT >=:P102_min_value
But i need to write pl/sql function, so that multiple report can be returned based on different conditions. Please guide me.
Thanks,
Sumana

Does that mean that both in if and else we need to have same columns selected?
if thats the case.. any idea how i can implement it in my code. The situation here is that the columns that need to be selected are dynamic and keep on changing...
if i try to implement like this and run the page, it gives the following error:
Query is:
declare
l_query1 varchar2(4000);
begin
if apex_application.get_current_flow_sgid(:APP_ID) = apex_application.get_sgid then
if (:P102_min_value is not null and :P102_max_value is null) then
l_query1 := 'select decode(' || :P102_date|| ',''1'',date1) Transaction_Date, decode(' || :P102_first_name || ',''2'',first_name) First_Name from (
select * from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where APPRX_LOAN_AMOUNT >=' || :P102_min_value ||'
elsif (:P102_min_value is null and :P102_max_value is not null) then
l_query1 := 'select decode(' || :P102_date|| ',''1'',date1) Transaction_Date, decode(' || :P102_first_name || ',''2'',first_name) First_Name from (
select * from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where APPRX_LOAN_AMOUNT >=' || :P102_max_value ||'
else
l_query1 := 'select date1,first_name from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where rownum = 1';
end if;
else
l_query1 := 'select date1,first_name from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where rownum = 1';
end if;
return l_query1;
--dbms_output.put_line( l_query1);
end;
The Error is:
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00936: missing expression
If i try to run the same in command prompt, it always goes to the else part... (else of outer if)

SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query) when using to_char

we are trying to build a report page of Type SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query).
our query is so simple, we need to extract the month from the recording_date column.
declare
l_query varchar2(1000);
begin
l_query:='select to_char(recording_date,'MM')from re_productive';
return l_query;
end;
but we are having the following problem for this query
Function returning SQL query: 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.
(ORA-06550: line 4, column 42: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "MON" when expecting one of the following: . ( * @ % & = - + ; < / > at in is mod remainder not rem <> or != or ~= >= <= <> and or like between || multiset member SUBMULTISET_ The symbol ". was inserted before "MON" to continue.)
Notes:
1-the query is correct and it was tested under Toad and SQL Plus.
2- we tried Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only) option but we get the same problem.
any quick help please.

Hi
You haven't escaped your quotes in the string. Try this...
DECLARE
l_query VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
l_query:= 'select to_char(recording_date,''MM'') from re_productive';
RETURN l_query;
END;Cheers

SQL Query (PL/SQL Function Body returning SQL query) doesn't return any row

I have a region with the following type:
SQL Query (PL/SQL Function Body returning SQL query).
In a search screen the users can enter different numbers, separated by an ENTER.
I want to check these numbers by replacing the ENTER, which is CHR(13) || CHR(10) I believe, with commas. And then I can use it like this: POD IN (<<text>>).
It's something like this:
If (:P30_POD Is Not Null) Then
v_where := v_where || v_condition || 'POD IN (''''''''||REPLACE(''' || :P30_POD || ''', CHR(13) || CHR(10), '','')||'''''''''')';
v_condition := ' AND ';
End If;
But the query doesn't return any rows.
I tried to reproduce it in Toad:
select * from asx_worklistitem
where
POD IN (''''||REPLACE('541449200000171813'||CHR(13) || CHR(10)||'541449206006341366', CHR(13) || CHR(10), ''',''')||'''')
==> This is the query that does't return any rows
select (''''||REPLACE('541449200000171813'||CHR(13) || CHR(10)||'541449206006341366', CHR(13) || CHR(10), ''',''')||'''')
from dual;
==> This returns '541449200000171813','541449206006341366'
select * from asx_worklistitem
where pod in ('541449200000171813','541449206006341366');
==> and when I copy/paste this in the above query, it does return my rows.
So why does my first query doesn't work?
Doe anyone have any idea?
Kind regards,
Geert

Thanks for the help.
I made it work, but via the following code:
If (:P30_POD Is Not Null) Then
v_pods := REPLACE(:P30_POD, CHR(13) || CHR(10));
v_where := v_where || v_condition || 'POD IN (';
v_counter := 1;
WHILE (v_counter < LENGTH(v_pods)) LOOP
v_pod := SUBSTR(v_pods, v_counter, 18);
IF (v_counter <> 1) THEN
v_where := v_where || ',';
END IF;
v_where := v_where || '''' || v_pod || '''';
v_counter := v_counter + 18;
END LOOP;
v_where := v_where || ')';
v_condition := ' AND ';
End If;But now I want to make an update of all the records that correspond to this search criteria. I can give in a status via a dropdownlist and that I want to update all the records that correspond to one of these POD's with that status.
For a region you can build an SQL query via PL/SQL, but for a process you only have a PL/SQL block. Is the only way to update all these records by making a loop and make an update for every POD that is specified.
Because I think this will have a lot of overhead.
I would like to make something like a multi row update in an updateable report, but I want to specify the status from somewhere else. Is this possible?

How to distinguish built-in SQL functions of PL/SQL?

I m having a hard time to figure out which functions are used ONLY in SQL statements and which are used in regular expr(ie, variable assignment,). Can anyone show me a list of each or perhaps a URL to look for?
I have searched through either the developer's guide and reference but couldn't find any appropriate indication in one place that make it clear.
For instance, I thought I can use CAST function in a variable assginment like the following:
declare
cursor myCur is SELECT Value_varchar2(1) FROM table WHERE id = 1;
myRec myCur%ROWTYPE;
var_a NUMBER(1);
begin
OPEN myCur;
FETCH myCur INTO myRec;
CLOSE myCur;
var_a := CAST(myCur.Value_varchar2(1) AS NUMBER(1));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('var_a = ' || TO_CHAR(var_a));
end;
. It seems like CAST function can ONLY be used in SQL statement, but no doc so far states that?!

Sorry to bother you, Bob!
I think I might already found the list. Is it the following list?

SQL Functions in PL/SQL Expressions
In PL/SQL expressions, you can use all SQL functions except:
Aggregate functions (such as AVG and COUNT)
Analytic functions (such as LAG and RATIO_TO_REPORT)
Data mining functions (such as CLUSTER_ID and FEATURE_VALUE)
Encoding and decoding functions (such as DECODE and DUMP)
Model functions (such as ITERATION_NUMBER and PREVIOUS)
Object reference functions (such as REF and VALUE)
XML functions (such as APPENDCHILDXML and EXISTSNODE)
These conversion functions:
BIN_TO_NUM
These miscellaneous functions:
CUBE_TABLE
DATAOBJ_TO_PARTITION
LNNVL
NVL2
SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH
SYS_TYPEID
WIDTH_BUCKET
PL/SQL supports an overload of BITAND for which the arguments and result are BINARY_INTEGER.
When used in a PL/SQL expression, the RAWTOHEX function accepts an argument of data type RAW and returns a VARCHAR2 value with the hexadecimal representation of bytes that comprise the value of the argument. Arguments of types other than RAW can be specified only if they can be implicitly converted to RAW. This conversion is possible for CHAR, VARCHAR2, and LONG values that are valid arguments of the HEXTORAW function, and for LONG RAW and BLOB values of up to 16380 bytes.

Calling a PL/SQL function in the SQL statement

I have a PL/SQL function which i should call in a SQL statement.
Let's say the function is func1(parameter1,parameter2),
it should be called like this :- SELECT func1() FROM mytable ;
Can any one help me out on this ?
---Thanx in advance

you can call pl/sql functions from pl/sql using
select fn1('param1','param2') from table;
if you dont want to pass paramters, you have to specify default
value while creating function like below
create function fn1(p1 number default null,p2 varchar2 default
null) return...
now you can call using
select fn1 from table;

How to call a function with pl/sql

How does one call a function with pl/sql that uses a function?

Hi,
How does one call a function with pl/sql that uses a
function?I'm not sure what you mean.
In PL/SQL function can be used just about anywhere where an expression (with the same data type that the function returns). Arpit gave a very common example.
Here's another example, where all the functions take a single NUMBER argument and return a NUMBER, so they can all be used in places where NUMBERs are used:
IF fun_a (fun_b (0)) < fun_c (1)
THEN
    UPDATE table_x
    SET     column_y = fun_d (2)
    WHERE   column_z = fun_e (ROUND ((fun_f (3), fun_g (4)));You call a function simply by using its name, followed by its argument list, if any.
If the function is in a package, you must call it with the package name, like "pk_foo.bar (1, 2, 3)", unless the call comes from within the same package.
If the function is owned by someone else, you must give the owner name, like "scott.bar (SYSDATE)" or "scott.pk_foo.bar (1, 2, 3)". You can create synonyms to avoid having to name the owner.

Calling function in PL/SQL

Hello everyone,
I would like to know if there is anyway to call a user defined function in an SQL statement from a PL/SQL anonymous block without first creating that function to the database.
For instance:
I have a pl/sql block:
DECLARE
BEGIN
UPDATE Request SET map_No = nts_map_no(parm1, parm2, parm3) WHERE ...
END;
I have tried declaring the function within the declare section of the block as in:
DECLARE
FUNCTION nts_map_no
End nts_map_no;
BEGIN
UPDATE Request SET map_No = nts_map_no(parm1, parm2, parm3) WHERE ...
END;
But Oracle wouldn't allow me to use it in an Update statement.
Thank you.
