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 use SQL functions in the queries

hey guys i wanna know how to use SQL functions in the queries is it possible or not .

Hi,
Wat exactly that set values are?
those from sql query?
How to use count():
The COUNT() function returns the number of rows that matches a specified criteria.
SQL COUNT(column_name) Syntax
The COUNT(column_name) function returns the number of values (NULL values will not be counted) of the specified column:
SELECT COUNT(column_name) FROM table_name
SQL COUNT(*) Syntax
The COUNT(*) function returns the number of records in a table:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table_name
SQL COUNT(DISTINCT column_name) Syntax
The COUNT(DISTINCT column_name) function returns the number of distinct values of the specified column:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT column_name) FROM table_name
The IN function helps reduce the need to use multiple OR conditions.
The syntax for the IN function is:
SELECT columns
FROM tables
WHERE column1 in (value1, value2, .... value_n);

SQL Query (pl/sql function body returning Sql query)

Hi All,
I have created a region of "SQL Query (pl/sql function body returning Sql query)" type and it is working fine , but when I am migrating(export /import) this application from development to systest environment ,
It gives error for this region :
Error ERR-1101 Unable to process function body returning query.
OK
ORA-06550: line 1, column 52: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'FU_TRADE_REPORT_QUERY' ORA-06550: line 1, column 45: PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Any pointer ...why this is happening.
Thanks

If your function is a stored function that is called from within APEX (function body not coded into the app itself), have you made sure that the function has been created and compiles ok prior to installing your apex app.
If there are some dependency issues between other PL/SQL units or database objects that are causing your function not to be compiled, you apex install will fail as you are trying to reference an uncompelled bit of pl/sql.
Let me know how you get on

Using Package to produce pl/sql function body returning sql query Report

I have existing code that we want to use in building reports in APEX. We are needing to modify it slightly to handle some new requirements, but would like to use them in reports based upon SQL query (pl/sql function body returning sql query) functionality.
Any suggestions as how to call these in an APEX report region?
Thank you,
Tony Miller

Hi Tony-
I am also v new to Apex and you may have answered a question I was in search of. I, however, now have a couple more. First a bit of background-- Like in your situation, my college has a lot of existing code (400 +) that we need to get into Apex. The majority of this canned code contains one/both: 1) many lines, sometimes containing multiple select statements 2) imbedded create table & view statements (temp user owned). Up until reading your post, I was unable to figure out an easy way of getting this existing code into the product. Thanks. Now the questions, do you know how I would go about dealing with the create tables/views. I've read some posts on this forum which suggest temporary tables being unstable in this environment. Also, do you know if there's a size limitation when passing sql code via a function?
As you may/may not be able to tell, I'm a bit lost right now... so any info you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks.
Don

Can call a function in the select statement?

Is there any ways to call a function in the select statement?
what I like to do is this:
select deptno, totalEmployees(deptno), TotalSalary(deptno)
from emp;
I know it can be done by count(*) and join tables, but my case
is much more complex and the where clauses are different from
one function to another, and have many tables to join and many
combinations
Thanks

Functions can be used in a select statement subject to certain
restrictions, see
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/
server.817/a85397/statem9b.htm#2062024
It's under "CREATE FUNCTION> Keywords and Parameters> function>
Restrictions on User-Defined Functions"
Here is an except...
When a function is called from within a query or DML statement,
the function cannot:
a) Have OUT or IN OUT parameters
b) Commit or roll back the current transaction, create or roll
back to a savepoint, or alter the session or the system. DDL
statements implicitly commit the current transaction, so a user-
defined function cannot execute any DDL statements.
c) Write to the database, if the function is being called from a
SELECT statement. However, a function called from a subquery in
a DML statement can write to the database.
d) Write to the same table that is being modified by the
statement from which the function is called, if the function is
called from a DML statement.
Except for the restriction on OUT and IN OUT parameters, Oracle
enforces these restrictions not only for the function called
directly from the SQL statement, but also for any functions that
function calls, and on any functions called from the SQL
statements executed by that function or any function it calls.

PL/SQL function body returning SQL - report error:ORA-01403: no data found

Hi,
I am working on Application Express 4.0.2.00.06, and 11G database.
I have a problem with classic report area of type - PL/SQL function body returning SQL query. Query works if I define region area as - Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only), and does not when I define it - Use Query-Specific Column Names and Validate Query.
I am getting error:
report error:ORA-01403: no data found
This is my query that is returned from function, and displayed with htp.p, and it works ok and returns data in SQL Developer and SQL Workshop (in Apex).
<code>
/* select 1 from dual */ SELECT SIFPRO, NAZIV, VODITELJ, DATPZA,SUM(DECODE(TJEDAN,'2010/46',BRDJEL,null)) as "2010/46" ,SUM(DECODE(TJEDAN,'2010/49',BRDJEL,null)) as "2010/49" ,SUM(DECODE(TJEDAN,'2010/50',BRDJEL,null)) as "2010/50" ,SUM(DECODE(TJEDAN,'2010/51',BRDJEL,null)) as "2010/51" ,SUM(DECODE(TJEDAN,'2010/52',BRDJEL,null)) as "2010/52" ,SUM(DECODE(TJEDAN,'2011/01',BRDJEL,null)) as "2011/01" ,SUM(DECODE(TJEDAN,'2011/02',BRDJEL,null)) as "2011/02" ,SUM(DECODE(TJEDAN,'2011/03',BRDJEL,null)) as "2011/03" ,SUM(DECODE(TJEDAN,'2011/04',BRDJEL,null)) as "2011/04" ,SUM(DECODE(TJEDAN,'2011/05',BRDJEL,null)) as "2011/05" ,SUM(DECODE(TJEDAN,'2011/06',BRDJEL,null)) as "2011/06" ,SUM(DECODE(TJEDAN,'2011/07',BRDJEL,null)) as "2011/07" ,SUM(DECODE(TJEDAN,'2011/08',BRDJEL,null)) as "2011/08" ,SUM(DECODE(TJEDAN,'2011/09',BRDJEL,null)) as "2011/09" ,SUM(DECODE(TJEDAN,'2011/10',BRDJEL,null)) as "2011/10" FROM (SELECT * FROM PMV_PLAN_TVRTKA) GROUP BY SIFPRO, NAZIV, VODITELJ, DATPZA ORDER BY SIFPRO, NAZIV, VODITELJ, DATPZA
</code>
As you can see, I even tried with workaround that I found on the previous post on the forum, and that is to put /* select 1 from dual */ to start query.
Any help would be appriciated.

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?
Shane.

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

Region source (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)

Hi, guys.
Here is what i try to do:
Create a region of type SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query). In the source area i tried to put this:
DECLARE
v_new VARCHAR2(10);
v_SQL varchar2(32000);
BEGIN
v_new := :P102_HDN_NEW;
-- htp.p(v_new);
IF v_new = 'N-Set' THEN
v_SQL := 'select ' ||
ELSIF v_new = 'Y-Set' THEN
v_SQL := 'select ' ||
END IF;
RETURN v_SQL;
END;
And here is the reply from APEX:
1 error has occurred
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. The query can not be parsed, the cursor is not yet open or a function returning a SQL query returned without a value.
Now.
1. Variable is set with the right value.
2. Each statement (separately) returns SQL that works with no problems
3. Problem occures if i try to put IF statement around the SQL creation.
4. If i select "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)" instead of "Use Query-Specific Column Names and Validate Query" then the script returns SQL properly, however report's column names are set to Col1, Col2,Col3 ......
Thnks in advence

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?
---------------------- QUOTED FROM Oracle® Database PL/SQL Language Reference 11g Release 2 (11.2)Part Number E10472-06
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.

Sql query(PL/SQL function body return SQL query) with in(x,y,z) condition

Hello,
I've set up a region definition of type "SQL Query(PL/SQL function body return SQL query). In my query I make use of an "in" condition. When I populate :P755_INC_BARG_UNIT with a value of 0F (no quotes), I get the correct count. However, when I set :P755_INC_BARG_UNIT to 0F, 0E I get an invalid count. What do I have to set the page item to?
When running the query in TOAD, and setting :P755_INC_BARG_UNIT to the string inside the brackets (0F, 0E) I get the proper count.
The code I use is shown below. Any help would be appreciated,
Alex.
DECLARE
v_sql VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
SELECT count(*) "cnts",
''Faculty data file IDs missing in appt table'' "err_type"
FROM hradmin.et_faculty_salary fs left outer join
hradmin.appointments appt
ON trim(fs.empl_id) = appt.emp_emp
and appt.ear_activ <> ''Z''
and appt.ear_type = ''F''
and (appt.ear_class in (''A'',''B'',''C'',''D''))
and appt.ear_bargunit in ( :P755_INC_BARG_UNIT )
WHERE appt.emp_emp is null
RETURN v_sql;
END;

Alex,
try something like:
DECLARE
v_sql VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
v_sql := <YOUR_SQL_STATEMENT_WITH_P755_INC_BARG_UNIT_IN_IT>;
v_sql := REPLACE(v_sql, ':P755_INC_BARG_UNIT',:P755_INC_BARG_UNIT);
RETURN v_sql;
END; But before doing it read this:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:210612357425
After reading you will be able to find the best solution yourself.
