BUG: Apex 4.0.1 form on table with report. Not passing ID correctly

I'm trying to create a form on a table with report using the wizard. I opted for a classic report page.
The edit link on the report page does not work. The link looks like this:
http://ngdwpc3:7777/pls/apex/f?p=101:15:1800428764039812::::P15_ID:#ID#
This is clearly wrong because one would expect a value to be passed and not a column name.
Looking at the generated report page I get 60 columns. This seems to be a result of the setting:
no-checked :Use Query-Specific Column Names and Validate Query
checked :Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)
The ID column in the table is mapped to COL01.
Changing the value being passed in the link columns to #COL01# results in the correct behaviour.
My guess is that the option "Use Query-Specific Column Names and Validate Query" is the correct setting for the generated report.

Yes, I guess this is a Bug.
1. When you speciify a WHERE clause in the Wozard it adds extra quotes when appending the WHERE into the Report SELECT.
I think thats the root cause, all others just follow as a consequence.
a. Because the query cannot be parse ( two single quotes) the Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only) is automtacillay set
b. This leads to COL01 to COL60
c. Which is turn leads to the link not working.
I could easily recreate the scenario.
To fix it I did the following
1. Removed the extra quotes from the query
2. Selected Use Query-Specific Column Names and Validate Query and Saved
It started working correct.
I suggest you edit your Thred name add BUG at the begining so that it gets spotted by Oracle folks on the forum.

Ora-20001 when creating a form on table with report (bug?)

Having some trouble creating a "Form on table with report".
1) I pick my table
2) take most of the defaults on the page where you pick the report type (interactive) and the page number (I changed it to 950). next->
3) Do not use tabs. Next->
4) Select all columns for the report. THEN (here's the problem) set an optional where clause of system_role_name like 'ODPSPOPUP%'. Next->
5) choose standard edit link. next->
6) Specify a page of 951 for the form (leave others defaults). next->
7) Set the form primary key (defined in table). next->
8) use existing trigger. next->
9) choose all columns for the form. next->
10) Leave actions to insert, update, delete. next->
11) Get to the summary page and click Finish
Then I get an error page saying:
ORA-20001: Unable to create query and update page. ORA-20001: Unable to create query and update page. ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
If I go back to step 4 and erase my where clause the wizard completes successfully.
Also if I change the report type in step 2 from the default of "Interactive" to "Classic" the wizard completes successfully. However upon running the report I get a query parse error. Looks like the where clause in the report sql is: system_role_name like ''ODPSPOPUP%'' (two single quotes on each side).
It looks as if you cannot specify a where clause with a quoted string. The wizard is expecting a bind variable.
Workaround(s):
1) Don't specify a where clause when report type = Interactive in "create form on table with report" wizard.
or
2) Specify a bogus where clause using bind variable syntax such as "system_role_name like :BOGUSVARIABLE". Then edit the report query once the wizard finishes and change the where clause to the constant string you wanted to use in the wizard (e.g. "system_role_name like 'MYSYSTEM%'")

Several CRUDLs again: App from existing table Form on table with report?

Hi,
I posted a message a couple of days ago, asking if it was possible to automatically generate several CRUDL gui patterns per application. Later I answer myself discovering that the "Form on table with report" option for creating a page, make just that.
However, I can see that the option for application level CRUDL (app from existing table) has more functionality (search, export to excel, data analysis, even charts, cool ;-). It creates about 10 pages per table, contrasting with the two created by the "Form on table with report" option. I thought that "Report with form" could be the answer, but it seems just another link to the same option.
So, once again: is possible to call the functionality of "App from existing table", several times within the same application? (of course each time is likely to refer a distinct table). How do I insistently ask for this? Well, cause I can see in my horizon many applications what will entirely consist of table-maintenance services ... so, with htmldb I could generate them very fast!. In fact, once I have toasted my crudl pattern I would even like to save it and generate the applications on a non interactive basis (maybe calling something in pl/sql?, command line?) ... is that possible?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Scott,
Dario - The "create application from existing table"
functionality was available in 1.6. In 2.0, the
Create Application wizard has changed. But you can
create as many sets of pages in the same application
as you need, all on different tables, using the
patterns available in that wizard. You can also
supplement those generated pages later by creating
chart pages or whatever else you need.Mmm?, ups ... them am I running the 1.6 version? I installed it from the companion cd. Ok, I'll try the separately distributed htmldb version. Thanks.
>
At present there is no exposed API to let you do any
of this programmatically.;-(

Form on Table with Report works in one environment but not in another.

Here's a short description of the problem:
Created a form on a table with report (using the wizard) in an ApEx application. The form and report work perfect in development environment. Once the application is moved to the Test environment, the insert feature of the form does not work. We have verified that the underlying table the form is based on is there with all the fields, primary key, sequence and trigger.
Any ideas?
Marc

Ben,
I assume that apex_public_user has all the approporiate privilegesapex_public_user requires no privileges other than those it is created with during installation and the execute privileges on procedures it may acquire as URL-invokable procedures are developed and registered.
Marc - What are the symptoms of the problem (insert does not work) ? What does the debug output show when you run the page in debug mode? Does the "request" value of the button (create button?) match one of the request values recognized by the DML process?

Insert Statement for Form on Table with Report

I'm using a 'getID' process On Load Before Header to make sure I get an ID for my form per suggestion from blarman here. The form has many fields from one table and four collections. If I let the process run as I think it should (when the ID is null) the link to the report does not fetch any field except the id. If I set the process to never run everything loads but my update process doesn't run. What am I doing wrong? Advance thanks...

Got it...I think it had to do with the use of my 'Create' and 'Apply Changes' buttons.

Form on Table with Report

I vaguely remember if I add fields to a table that is being used in a form/report, even though I manually add the fields to the report query and update/insert statements on the form, there can still be a problem with the fields being picked up by the report upon filling them in on the form. Is this so? If so, is there a work around without recreating the whole thing?
the form has two buttons that just redirect to the same page. Each just displays it's related field using REQUEST = EXPRESSION 1. Each has it's own request value. After the form is complete, the user clicks a submit button to update the report. All fields update except these conditionally displayed fields that display based on the request buttons.
It feels like one of those things where I'm going to kick myself when it's figured out.
Thanks in advance...

Unfortunately not. I'm using the fields to update another field. This is a catalog form for our Document Control department. They create and save a document to a folder then catalog it so they have search capability. If they make a change to the doc, they have to go back to the catalog and make updates to the form as well. They will either tack on A,B,C etc. for a REVSION change, or v1,v2,v3, etc for a VERSION change. So...
Buttons
REVISION
VERSION
Fields
DOCNO (for demo this displays F-100)
REVISION
VERSION
NEW_DOCNO
User clicks the REVISION button and the REVISION field displays F-100A.
Source for the REVISION field is this:
SELECT CASE
WHEN
ASCII(SUBSTR(:P51_DOCNO, LENGTH(:P51_DOCNO)-1, 1)) = 118 or
ASCII(SUBSTR(:P51_DOCNO, LENGTH(:P51_DOCNO)-1, 1)) = 86
THEN SUBSTR(:P51_DOCNO, 1, LENGTH(:P51_DOCNO) - 1) || CHR(ASCII(SUBSTR(:P51_DOCNO,LENGTH(:P51_DOCNO),1)) + 1)
ELSE :P51_DOCNO || 'v' || 1
end
from doc_info
where doc_info_id = :p51_doc_info_idSelect for the revision VERSION does the same thing, but checks for and adds v1, etc.
Then the appropriate rev/ver gets dumped into NEW_DOCNO b/c I thought I could then use that to update the next time...but since none of these fiels are dumping into the report I've not gotten that far.
Another note: all other fields update to the report fine.
This is probably a very cumbersome way to do this, but I operate from my own neive creative problem solving base without any real formal training.
Any ideas?

Why does a simple table with currency not add up correctly, it is 1p out and I can't work out why?

I have a simple accounts table and when I add the row using sum function it is always 1p out, what am I doing wrong, or what is numbers doing wrong?

M,
Since we can't see your situation we can't be sure what is going on. The most usual reason for unexpected sums is that there fractional parts that we can't see. This will happen on calculations, not directly entered data. So, if you have a list of calculated values and you add them up, the result of the addition of the displayed values may differ from our expectation by a small amount, maybe 1p.
You can prevent this by using the ROUND function in each of the individual calculations that make up the list.
If you are computing Pounds to two places, you would write:
=ROUND(YourOriginalExpression, 2)
Doing that eliminates any unseen value beyond the second decimal place.

Form on SQL with report

I had created a form on table with report. When the user clicks on the link image on the report, it query up the data on the form. It does all of the DML on the form behind the scenes. Now I have to do the same thing, but the form needs to be based on SQL Query instead. What do I have to do to have the link from the report automatically call of the data in the form?

The easiest way is to create a view with an INSTEAD OF trigger which does the insert/update/delete into the underlaying tables.
That will allow you to use all the processes the wizard creates for you and without having to write any code in APEX.

How to Highlight the CURRENT RECORD in a Table with Report Form

Hi,
I have created a Table with Report Form....let suppose the table is - EMP
Report page - 1
Form page - 2
Now, when I do Create / Update on Page 2,....the control is back on Page1.
Suppose in the Report Page (Page1)..we have 10 records....NOW how should I highlight the CURRENT RECORD in Page 1 with some color to identify the record which I have updated/created just now...
Thanks,
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
You could do that with a custom report template. I've done that here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:175]
Go to Shared Components, Templates and create a new Report template as a copy of your existing one. Then edit your template. In the above example, the Column Template 1 setting was:
<td #ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER#" class="t18data">#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>I copied this into the Column Template 2 setting and updated the Column Template 1 setting to:
<td #ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER#" class="t18data" style="background-color:red; color:yellow;">#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>I then set the Column Template 1 Condition to: Use Based on PL/SQL Expression
and the Column Template 1 Expression to: '#EMPNO#' = '&P178_EMPNO.'
(In my example, P178_EMPNO is the single item on the linked to page.
Save those changes and go to your report and change its template to the new one. As long as a selection has been made and P178_EMPNO has a value, the condition will make sure that the report uses the first template for the row with the matching EMPNO value. All other rows get the template from Column Template 2.

Form on a Table with Report - Auto Number

Hi,
Scenario:
I want to create "Form on a Table with Report" that should allow my users to add records...
Steps and issues
I created a table in MS Access with a field called "TRACKING_NO" as type Auto Number and made it a primary key... I was planning to use it to link Report to Form
When I uploaded the table to Oracle it changed the type to varchar2... can you please advice how to change it back to Auto number...?
and will it work if my user add a record to the table (using APEX built in option to create a record)...?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
this is what I would do.
1. Upload the table from MS Access, lets call it TAB_A
2. Using SQL-Workshop get the DDL (SQL statement) for this table
3. Change any names and/or datatypes as required
4. Create a new table with this DDL, lets call it TAB_O
5. Copy the contents from TAB_A to TAB_O (e.g. INSERT INTO TAB_O (id, colx, coly) SELECT TO_NUMBER(tracking_no), col1, col2 FROM TAB_A;)
6. Create a sequence which starts with the last PK + 1 of table TAB_A
7. Add a trigger to TAB_O to use this sequence to populate it's PK
By the way, working with APEX requires a solid understanding of Oracle SQL and PL/SQL, regardless of what anyone says, even Oracle.

who can help me ?

Hi lily,
I'm sure you are aware of these, but please have a look again at the "Welcome" page of the forum: https://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=1324 and think about changing the subject of your post.
Please provide your APEX and DB version, along with the SELECT statement you are using in the form.
Any chance to create an example on apex.oracle.com?
This would probably be the quickest way to get help.
Thanks

Need to create form on a table with report with a table has NO primary key

Hi, I tried to created some insert/update/delete form+report in an application, it works fine only if the table has primary key. Does anyone know how to create the same functionality with a table with no primary key? I saw an application is built on older version of htmldb that is using tables with no primary keys at all.
Here are the specific issues that I am facing:
- I am building some Form on a table with Report, it requires the table with primary key for form to update. Is there a workaround that I can use tables that has no primary keys at all?
- Say if primary key is necessary in the previous report+form, but the maximum number of columns that I can use to composed a primary is only 2 for that Form-Report, I cannot find anything handling > 2 primary key. Do you know if there are some ways to composite a primary key from many columns together?
Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Angela

Sorry to ask response so late. I had no time to get back to that issue before.
Regarding the triggers, I can make it work for the update, but not the insert.
Here is my trigger:
create or replace trigger STATUS_T1
instead of insert on STATUS
begin
insert into STATUS ("LABEL", "AREA", "OWNER", "TEST_NAME", "STATUS", "REMARKS", "BUGS", "DEV_MGR", "TEST_BY_DATE")
values(:new.LABEL, :new.AREA, :new.OWNER, :new.TEST_NAME, :new.STATUS, :new.REMARKS, :new.BUGS, :new.DEV_MGR, :new.TEST_BY_DATE);
end;
by any chance, you can notify what is wrong?
I already skip the ROWID when inserting to the view STATUS, but I cannot figure out what is wrong when inserting a new record to that view.
It gave me the following errors:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 38: PL/SQL: ORA-00904: "ID": invalid identifier ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
Error Unable to process row of table STATUS
Then, I turned to debug mode, I am thinking that maybe because I use a HIDDEN item to hold the value of ROW_ID as I use the rowid (called ID in the view) to retrieve the record as a column link from previous page. What do you think?
Thanks again,
Angela

No data found error on Form on a Table with report

Hi Everyone, I'm using Application Express 4.1.0.00.32 on Windows 7. I built a Form on a table with report. Earlier I was using rowid as a passing parameter but then I had to change it to primary key column from report to form.
So in the "Fetch row process" I changed the "Items containing primary key value" and "Primary Key column" to P1004_PERSON_ID and PERSON_ID respectively. Which is my primary key.
My Form is working exactly fine but at on point it throws "no data found error".
I have a required date field in the form. So if the user doesn't fill in the date field and try to save the form, it throws the "Feild required error" and then when user enters date and try to save then it throws the error "No data found.". here is the snapshot... snapshot
How can I fix this error.I'm really stuck.
I checked debubber..it is as follows... in debughger it's still showing rowid. I don't know why. How can I fix that.

Just an observance... SQL is still showing the rowid instead of the P1004_PERSON_ID ??
where "PERSON_ID" = :p_rowid;
should it not be :
where "PERSON_ID" = :P1004_PERSON_ID:

Form on a Table with Report, 2 Pages

I have a view and i am using this to create a page as follows for insert/update/delete .
(1) create application from scratch
(2) on page 1 using wizard choice "Form on a Table with Report, 2 Pages"
(3) Follows the screens and create the 2 page where first page is a report and when i click on edit(in my case) it goes to next page for insert/update/delete.Everything like insert/update/delete works fine .
Now this view has say three columns
(1) element_type_id
(2) element_name
(3) yesnoflag
changing element_name and yesnoflag column is ok but then i need to have element_type_id corresponding to the element_name from some other table.
Question1
How should i get the element_type_id corresponding to the element_name .so when i create a new record it goes to page 2 and i can provide LOV for element_name and enter into yesnoflag, how can i get the element_type_id populated corresponding to the element_name entered.
Question2
Also in my application i have name element_type_id as primary key .I am not sure if thats a good idea or should i make element_name as primary key ?
please help.
Thanks,
Sachin

hey rui--
by "adjust your html", i simply meant that you should look at your page, think about the html that's being used, and adjust it as necessary to make your data wrap as desired. now that i'm pretty sure i understand your issue, i can tell you the adjustment. you're saying that your form shows your long column "correctly" with data broken up onto separate lines by carriage returns or linefeeds. when you display that same data in your report, those carriage returns ( chr(13) ) and/or linefeeds ( chr(10) ) aren't observed. that's because they don't mean much in regular html. two ways to approach this would be:
a) replace your carriage returns with explicit <br> tags to get the breaks that you want...
select test_id, replace(test_description,chr(13)) test_desc from my_table;
b) wrap your column with <pre> tags to preserve all the original formatting of your data...
select test_id, '<pre>'||test_description||'</pre>' test_desc from my_table;
...and you could, of course, do option B in your report row template if you'd like.
hope this helps,
