Bind Variable Problem

Question

Hi Guys
PLease i am really stuck
i have a LOV which has a complex query...
in that query there are multiple bind variables that are assigned... ie :1 , :2 and so forth
here is the query for the LOV
SELECT a.kri_description, a.kri_id
FROM xx_key_result_indicators a, xx_kri_positions b
WHERE TO_DATE (:1, 'DD-MON-YYYY') BETWEEN a.effective_from_date
AND a.effective_to_date
AND TO_DATE (:2, 'DD-MON-YYYY') BETWEEN b.effective_from_date
AND b.effective_to_date
AND a.kra_id = :3
AND a.kri_id IN (
SELECT c.kri_id
FROM xx_kri_positions c
WHERE TO_DATE (:4, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
BETWEEN c.effective_from_date
AND c.effective_to_date
AND c.position_id = :5
AND c.enable_flag = 'Y')
AND b.position_id = :6
AND a.enable_flag = 'Y'
AND b.enable_flag = 'Y'
AND a.kri_id NOT IN (SELECT NVL (g.kri_id, 1)
FROM xx_perf_kri g
WHERE g.perf_kra_id = :7)
UNION
SELECT f.kri_description, f.kri_id
FROM xx_key_result_indicators f
WHERE TO_DATE (:8, 'DD-MON-YYYY') BETWEEN f.effective_from_date
AND f.effective_to_date
AND f.kra_id = :9
AND f.kri_id NOT IN (SELECT e.kri_id
FROM xx_kri_positions e)
AND f.enable_flag = 'Y'
AND f.kri_id NOT IN (SELECT NVL (d.kri_id, 1)
FROM xx_perf_kri d
WHERE d.perf_kra_id = :10)
so in theroy when i push the tourch icon next to my text field i set these bind variables...
so in theroy that should work,,, but becuase i have a lov the framework will automatically assign extra where clause params for the filter.... and the query will look as follows
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT a.kri_description, a.kri_id
FROM xx_key_result_indicators a, xx_kri_positions b
WHERE TO_DATE (:1, 'DD-MON-YYYY') BETWEEN a.effective_from_date
AND a.effective_to_date
AND TO_DATE (:2, 'DD-MON-YYYY') BETWEEN b.effective_from_date
AND b.effective_to_date
AND a.kra_id = :3
AND a.kri_id IN (
SELECT c.kri_id
FROM xx_kri_positions c
WHERE TO_DATE (:4, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
BETWEEN c.effective_from_date
AND c.effective_to_date
AND c.position_id = :5
AND c.enable_flag = 'Y')
AND b.position_id = :6
AND a.enable_flag = 'Y'
AND b.enable_flag = 'Y'
AND a.kri_id NOT IN (SELECT NVL (g.kri_id, 1)
FROM xx_perf_kri g
WHERE g.perf_kra_id = :7)
UNION
SELECT f.kri_description, f.kri_id
FROM xx_key_result_indicators f
WHERE TO_DATE (:8, 'DD-MON-YYYY') BETWEEN f.effective_from_date
AND f.effective_to_date
AND f.kra_id = :9
AND f.kri_id NOT IN (SELECT e.kri_id
FROM xx_kri_positions e)
AND f.enable_flag = 'Y'
AND f.kri_id NOT IN (SELECT NVL (d.kri_id, 1)
FROM xx_perf_kri d
WHERE d.perf_kra_id = :10)) qrslt
WHERE (( UPPER (kri_description) LIKE :1
AND ( kri_description LIKE :2
OR kri_description LIKE :3
OR kri_description LIKE :4
OR kri_description LIKE :5
not that now there are bind variable 1 through to 10 and then 1 through to 5...
the error i am getting is not all variables bound exception..
please if anyone could help....
Thanks

I am new to OA Fwk, but I am Expert of java, J2EE.
My solution will work fine in pure java.
I am sure same should work in OA also.
But I never experimented it. Give it a try
Lets take a select query:
select my_col from my_table where clo1 = :1 and col2 = :1
In this query there is only one bind varible ":1" in the world of PL/SQL.
But for there are two bind varibales you need to set them two times.
in java you will do
stmt.setString(1, myval);
stmt.setString(2, myval);
Now coming to your query.
It has 10 +5 total 15 bind variables and you need to set 15 but not 10.
For all practicle purposes assume that :1 or :2 or :3 is equivalent to ?
Thus your select query is equivalent to
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT a.kri_description, a.kri_id
FROM xx_key_result_indicators a, xx_kri_positions b
WHERE TO_DATE (?, 'DD-MON-YYYY') BETWEEN a.effective_from_date
AND a.effective_to_date
AND TO_DATE (?, 'DD-MON-YYYY') BETWEEN b.effective_from_date
AND b.effective_to_date
AND a.kra_id = ?
AND a.kri_id IN (
SELECT c.kri_id
FROM xx_kri_positions c
WHERE TO_DATE (?, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
BETWEEN c.effective_from_date
AND c.effective_to_date
AND c.position_id = ?
AND c.enable_flag = 'Y')
AND b.position_id = ?
AND a.enable_flag = 'Y'
AND b.enable_flag = 'Y'
AND a.kri_id NOT IN (SELECT NVL (g.kri_id, 1)
FROM xx_perf_kri g
WHERE g.perf_kra_id = ?)
UNION
SELECT f.kri_description, f.kri_id
FROM xx_key_result_indicators f
WHERE TO_DATE (?, 'DD-MON-YYYY') BETWEEN f.effective_from_date
AND f.effective_to_date
AND f.kra_id = ?
AND f.kri_id NOT IN (SELECT e.kri_id
FROM xx_kri_positions e)
AND f.enable_flag = 'Y'
AND f.kri_id NOT IN (SELECT NVL (d.kri_id, 1)
FROM xx_perf_kri d
WHERE d.perf_kra_id = ?)) qrslt
WHERE (( UPPER (kri_description) LIKE ?
AND ( kri_description LIKE ?
OR kri_description LIKE ?
OR kri_description LIKE ?
OR kri_description LIKE ?)))
you need to set the values in the order in which bind varibale appear in select query
