Bug in Apex 4.1 tabular form with rowid as PK

Hi
I think this is a bug in Apex 4.1. I tested it on apex.oracle.com. This is the simple scenario.
Create a simple table:
create table dropme (code number, description varchar2(200));
Now use the wizard to create a tabular form.
Select Allowed Operations insert and update for this table.
Select ROWID as Primary key type.
After finishing the wizard click on Run and you get:
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00904: "APEX$ROWID": invalid identifier
Note: this does not happen when you select insert, update and delete.

Hello,
>> Select Allowed Operations insert and update for this table.
>> Select ROWID as Primary key type.
It seems that you are correct. I was able to reconstruct your scenario on my local system. Now we need the verification of the dev team.
Regards,
Arie.

    somebody have an idea what is happening here
    is this still a bug in APEX 4.01?
    hope to have an answer soon.

    Hi Jari,
    It returns about 1100 records which i think is not much.
    But even when i narrow the amount of records the problem is not solved.

  • Bug: 4.1.1 Tabular form with all columns conditional

    I need to make all the columns in a tabular form conditional because in some situations the editable elements should not be shown. For some reason just changing the columns to conditional stops the form working, the ApplyMRU/ApplyMRD process runs but does not action the changed rows. I can't figure out why at all or any workaround.
    You can easily reproduce this in 4.1.1 by creating a tabular form with the wizard selecting one column in the form. Then make the row selector colunn and your editable column conditional using the plsql expression 1=1. The form is displayed the just the same with these true conditions but it doesn't work. How weird is that?
    Rod West

    Rod,
    In your scenario the tabular form rendering engine is unable to place the hidden, internal tabular form status columns in your form, i.e. the columns that contain checksums, etc. The logic that places these columns looks for the last unconditional, visible column in your tabular form, and includes the hidden fields there. So you need at least one column that's always shown for this to work. This can be an otherwise empty column. I filed a bug (#13881803) for this, so we can look into improving this logic.

  • Error tabular form with validation

    Hi everyone,
    I have built a tabular form with the wizard and I every time a validation check is done and fails,
    getting an error in the place where the tabular form should be. I get to see the tabular form again when pressing the cancel button or refreshing the page.
    I'm not quite able to reproduce this error, but I was wondering if anyone knows of this error and a workaround for it.
    The error that's displayed is: report error: User-Defined exception
    using Apex version 4.1.1. I've already tried building a new tabular form, but that didn't seem to resolve the issue.
    I would appreciate the help.
    Kind regards,
    Cleopatra

    Possible solution?
    Validation returns : no data found + unhandled user-defined exception
    See post by user 794496 there.

  • Tabular form with onhover comment column

    Hi guys!
    I was wondering if anyone of you saw an example of onhover item help with query...I mean..lets imagine a tabular form with a text field Comment column. Comment column has width 50 but we all know that comment ale like to be long ;) I'd like to see full lenght comment every time I put my mouse pointer on a specific row. Is it possible ? If yes can you show me an example or point me in a good direciton...(I dont know javascript well..)
    With regards,
    PsmakR

    PsmakR,
    Yes it is possible. Currently the ShowPopup script displays the value of current cell (hv_item.value). You can just simply replace with whatever you like.
    If you're talking about the value of other columns, you may have to use document.wwv_flow.fXX to refer to it. Again, see my other sample of [Tabular Form Column Read-only|http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=57043:4] . Patrick Wolf wrote about this as well in his [ Which Tabular Form Column is mapped to which Apex_Application.g_fxx array|http://www.inside-oracle-apex.com/which-tabular-form-column-is-mapped-to-which-apex_applicationg_fxx-array/] .

  • Tabular form with non base table field

    I want to develop a tabular form with
    1. A non-base table edit field to accept a value
    2. Insert/update another table based on the input value
    3. Also, computed field on each row based on other fields on the records (like post-query trigger in oracle forms at block level - for each row)
    Thanks,
    Rachna

    Thanks for your reply.
    Varad, I like the link you sent me. It has a lot of good information.
    I created a process (under page processing) called "Update/Insert Process" that dosn't seem to be working.
    Question, I created a manual tabular form with SQL Query and created a process (under page processing) called "Update/Insert Process", then I check for each record in the tabular form. If the old value <> new value then I update/insert in the new table.
    Any step by step will be highly apprciated - to create process/validation etc.
    Thanks,
    Rachna

  • Tabular form with select list not updating

    I have created a tabular form with a dynamic select list
    select primary_key, column1,
    htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(10,column2, 'select descr d, column_value r from lookup_table where column_value = '||column1) column2
    from main_table
    The select list appears to work correctly but the new value is not saved to the database. I assume this is because the tabular form element display as field for column2 is set to "standard report column" but when I select any of the "display as text" or "LOV" options either the current data is not displayed or errors are generated.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Hi Ian,
    As you have seen, sorting on the project_manager_id column will sort by the id value rather than the textual value. This is, of course, because this is the value in the field.
    I haven't tried this out, but one thing that may work is the fact that you don't have to include the ORDER BY fields within the SELECT statement. You could, for example, do:
    select p.project_number, p.project_manager_id
    from projects p, users u
    where p.project_manager_id = u.id (+)
    order by u.name
    Obviously, you won't be able to do this in the existing statement as you would then be blocked from using column sorting. However, it implies that if you could construct the SQL statement dynamically, appending appropriate ORDER BY strings to the end of the base select statement, you could sort by anything you like. This does, of course, mean that you would have to create a mechanism to allow the user to select the sort order, generate the appropriate string and reconstruct the entire sql statement.
    I had had a similar request quite a while ago. The underlying reason for that request turned out to be that the user just wanted to quickly locate records relating to one person. In the end, we agreed that a search filter was the best thing to do.

  • ADD ROW in tabular form with new max value for a certain field

    All,
    I have a tabular form with an 'ADD ROW'-button.
    When a row is added the field 'TemplateID' should get
    automatically a new value which is MAX from TEMPLATEID + 1.
    I would be very glad, if someone has a hint for me.
    Thanks in advance,
    lucio

    Hi
    the cause of not seeing the 'Default Item Field' is,
    that during creation of a 'Tabular Form' the column with the
    primary key doesn't get that feature, why so ever.
    I still hope that someone could give me a hint why that code isn't working:
    function SetNewID(vDBID)
    v_check = $v('P20_MAX_TEMPLATEID');
    pNd = $u_Carray(vDBID);
         for(var i=0;i<pNd.length;i++){
              var node = $x(pNd);
              node = $x_Check_For_Compound(pNd[i])
              var lTr = $x_UpTill(node,'TR');
    updateRow = lTr.rowIndex - 1;
    document.wwv_flow.f02[updateRow].value=$v(v_check)
    Many thanks in advance

  • Custom Tabular Form with working days by quarter

    Hi All, I'm trying to create an application to improve an old excel that some people use in my office. I came across a challenge: create a page when a user can submit for each business day the amount of hours worked, the real problem is that I have to show on the same page 40 business days that need to be dynamic, I mean that there is a "period" table that has a start date and end date, the range between those two MINUS the Saturdays and Sundays should be the amount of COLUMNS that the report show.
    create table CT_PERIOD(
    PERIOD_ID VARCHAR2(6),
    PERIOD_FY VARCHAR2(4),
    PERIOD_QUARTER VARCHAR2(1),
    PERIOD_START_DATE DATE,
    PERIOD_END_DATE DATE,
    PERIOD_DAY_COUNT NUMBER,
    insert into ct_period values ('1', 'FY14', 'Q1', to_date('01-JUN-2013', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), to_date('25-AUG-2013', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 56);
    commit;
    I searched in the web for some example of this with no luck, if somebody did something like this or knows where I can see an example that would be great!
    Thanks!

    Hi guys,
    I'm having exactly the same problem, I need a tabular form with days as columns to add actual working hours for each day as for each row ( task)

    I solved it.
    I modified a bit my code "On load Page". In case of LOV i have changed this condition
    if (l == undefined) {
              document.wwv_flow.f03.disabled = true;
          }with this
    if (l == 105) {
              document.wwv_flow.f03.disabled = true;
          }I don't know why 105 instead of undefined, but this works. I give 105, with alert on length.

  • How to build a tabular form with a by the user insertable primary key

    I have build a build a tabular form with the wizzard. Wat should I do to make the primary key insertable by the user.
    When I change the PK from 'hidden' to 'text field', I get a checksum error when i am trying to insert.

    Fred: When you use the tabular form wizard, notice the help text on the right hand side of each page. The help page where you define the type of primary key (Existing trigger, PL/SQL function, existing sequence) clearly states
    Tabular forms do not support user entered primary key values
    Makes sense when you think about it. The MRU process needs to determine whether to update a record or insert a new record. It does that by comparing the checksums (and/or) pk values from when the page was first rendered and then when you make changes and submit it. Newly inserted rows will have a blank PK/checksum.
    If you allow user to change the PK, how will the system know which rows are new and which ones are old?
    For example, lets say you have
    create table t
    pk int primary key,
    data varchar2(10)
    )You have 2 rows
    1 red
    2 yellow
    If the PK were to be editable, user could go in and change the above to
    2 red
    1 yellow
    Now what? Would you like the system to create a new row with 1/yellow or change the existing pk=1 row to yellow? Same with the other row.
    Bottom line: The built-in processes dont support this. You can always write your own manual tabular form and implement whatever you logic you wish in your After Submit processes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Error when creating tabular form with wizard Apex 4.01

  • Need help with Apex 4.0 tabular form and searchable select list

    I would like to use an exisiting plugin for a searchable combo box on a tabular form. When I define the item types on my tabular form I don't see the plugin as an option. I reviewed the help documentation for the apex_item api for the tabular form but I didn't see how I could reference the plugin. Has anyone done this or have other ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I noticed this problem in the first beta version but I thought this is so obvious and it will be corrected so I didn't follow on it further. This looks like a bug in 4.0. If I use firebug, I will see that the selected value is still RESEARCH allthough the display changes - <option selected="selected" value="20">RESEARCH</option> If I click on SAVE than wrong values will be changed.

  • Horizontal scroll bar in tabular form with columns freeze

    with the help of Google i found an example [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:46]
    I want the same thing as in the example but with first three columns in freeze mode
    But could not find out how to create this column freeze and horizontal scroll bar.
    Let me know if you have any idea on this

  • Tabular form with Popuv LOV doesn't work with onchange event

    Hi all.
    I have a problem with tabular forms, Popuv LOVs and javascript.
    I have created one tabular form, I want to put a value in "my_field" field when a user selects a new value from other field called "my_list", I have this code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function putValue(pThis)
        var vRow = pThis.id.substr(pThis.id.indexOf('_')+1);
        html_GetElement('f06_'+vRow).value = '0000';
    </script>and this for Element Attributes:
    onchange="putValue(this);"Everything works well when I choose "Display as Text Field", but if I change this option to "Display as Popup KEY LOV" or "Popup LOV" it doesn't work, I mean "my_field" stays without any value.
    I'm using Oracle Application Express Release 4.0 and Oracle 11g
    Please help.
    Regards.

    Hi Peter.
    Thanks, yes, in fact the position of my column changes, but it doesn't work even with the correct element, I have made a lot of proves and it seems that APEX constructs POPUPS LOVS in a different way and that's why "onchange" does not work.
    With this thread: Re: onchange not work on popup lov for a field on collection I have a half solution, It works for existing rows, but it doesn't for added rows.
    I have solved this problem calling a function that set the onchange event to every row when "ADD ROW" button is pressed, now it works without problems.
    Regards.
    Oscar.
