COLLECT function is returning " (dataset)" as keyword in result

hi ,
I am running query on EBS tables which is 10g 2 release and I need to concat names in a group but result is coming as pasted below. Please suggest why (dataset) is being displayed.
RESULT:
partyinfo AdminInfo cnt
33212 (dataset) 3
My query looks like this :
SELECT okpr.object1_id1 party_id partyinfo,
cast((collect(hp.PARTY_name )) as T_VARCHAR2_400_TYPE ) AdminInfo
, count(distinct okh1.contract_number) cnt
FROM okc.okc_k_headers_b okh1,
okc.okc_contacts oc,
ar.hz_relationships hr,
ar.hz_parties hp,
(SELECT contract_number, MAX(ID) curr_id
FROM okc.okc_k_headers_b okh
WHERE okh.id = 28474384
GROUP BY contract_number
) t,
okc.okc_k_party_roles_b okpr,
ar.hz_parties hpc,
ar.hz_cust_accounts hca
WHERE t.curr_id = okh1.ID
AND okh1.ID = oc.dnz_chr_id
AND okpr.object1_id1 = 32312
AND hr.party_id = TO_NUMBER (oc.object1_id1)
AND hr.subject_id = hp.party_id
AND t.curr_id = okpr.dnz_chr_id
AND okpr.object1_id1 = hpc.party_id
AND okpr.object1_id1 = hca.party_id
AND oc.cro_code IN ('LICENSE_ADMIN','LICENSE_ADMIN2', 'SUPPORT_ADMIN')
AND NVL(oc.end_date, SYSDATE) >= SYSDATE
AND hr.relationship_code IN ('EMPLOYEE_OF', 'CONTACT_OF')
AND hr.status = 'A'
AND hp.status = 'A'
AND okpr.rle_code = 'CUSTOMER'
AND hca.status = 'A'
GROUP BY okpr.object1_id1

As an example you see this

Web Service function to return OracleDataReader

My current .Net code with ODP calls a data access layer function which returns an "OracleDataReader". We would like to test an alternate approach and call a web service function instead. When I try and create the Web Service function it does not allow me to specify "OracleDataReader" as the return since it gives an error that the function cannot be serialized since it "does not implement Add(System.Object).".
Is there an Oracle.DataAccess.Client alternative? Does this mean I have to return a "DataSet" since it is the only data structure which can be serialized?

this is pseudo c#
snippets of a class definition NB Note the Serializable decoration
#region ADPerson definiton
     [Serializable]
     public class ADPerson
#region ADPerson fields
private string _postCode;
          private string _deliveryOffice;
          private string _telephoneNumber;
#region ADPeople collection of ADPerson
     [Serializable]
     public class ADPeople : System.Collections.CollectionBase
          public int Add(ADPerson value)
This is in my web method
using AD = ADClasses;
#region main lookup method
          [WebMethod(Description = "Lookup in Active Directory")]
          public AD.ADPeople ADLookup(string strSearchCriteria, string strUser, string strPassword, string strDomain)
AD.ADPeople adPeople = new AD.ADPeople();
AD.ADPerson ap = new AD.ADPerson();
adPeople.Add(ap);
return adPeople;
Just make sure that your class(es) are serializable and return them from your web service. If you call the ser vice from a browser you will see your class as xml. If you call it from an app you can do something like
class c= callWebService(param);

Function not returning table object correctly

Instead of returning a table, my function is returning this:
SCHEMA_OWNER.TBL_SUMS([SCHEMA_OWNER.SUMS_OBJ])
Does anyone see a syntax error in my function or the ddl of my table and object types?
This is a stripped down, simplified version of my function:
create or replace FUNCTION "F_TEST" (p_skey number, p_start_date date, p_end_date date)
RETURN tbl_sums
IS
tmp_A NUMBER;
tmp_B NUMBER;
l_tbl tbl_sums := tbl_sums();
BEGIN
SELECT SUM(FieldA), SUM(FieldB)
into tmpA, tmpB
from myTable where SKEY = p_skey
and DATE_VALUE >= p_start_date
and DATE_VALUE < p_end_date;
l_tbl.extend;
l_tbl(l_tbl.count()) := sums_obj(p_start_date, p_end_date, p_skey, tmpA, tmpB);
return l_tbl;
END;
My types are:
create or replace type sums_obj is object (start_date DATE, end_date DATE, skey NUMBER, SumA NUMBER, SumB NUMBER);
create or replace type tbl_sums is table of sums_obj;
Thanks!

What is 'tbl_kpi'? That isn't defined anywhere. Your original post said this:
>
RETURN tbl_sums

We can't help you if you don't post what you are really using. Cut & Paste is ok but you have to paste the correct code.
Your funtion is returning a TABLE but it is NOT PIPELINED. So if you query the function from DUAL you will get a DATASET as the result.
If you query the function AS A TABLE you will get the 'contents' of the table.
If you make your function a PIPELINED function then you use PIPE ROW to return each row but the function is still declared to return a TABLE. Maybe that is what is confusing you.
Try the following sample code to see what the difference is.
Here are two SQL types based on the EMP table in the scott schema.
-- type to match emp record
create or replace type emp_scalar_type as object
(EMPNO NUMBER(4) ,
   ENAME VARCHAR2(10),
   JOB VARCHAR2(9),
   MGR NUMBER(4),
   HIREDATE DATE,
   SAL NUMBER(7, 2),
   COMM NUMBER(7, 2),
   DEPTNO NUMBER(2)
-- table of emp records
create or replace type emp_table_type as table of emp_scalar_type
/Now - here is a function (similar to yours) that returns that EMP_TABLE_TYPE. NOTE: the function IS NOT PIPELINED
CREATE OR REPLACE function SCOTT.get_emp1( p_deptno in number )
return emp_table_type
as
tb emp_table_type;
BEGIN
select emp_scalar_type(empno, ename, job, mgr, hiredate, sal, comm, deptno)
    bulk collect into tb from emp where deptno = p_deptno;
return tb;
end;
/If I just select the function itself from DUAL I get this:
select get_emp1(20) from dual
GET_EMP1(20)
(DATASET)I can use TOAD or sql developer to examine that dataset and see the records.
But I can actually query the records by using the TABLE function:
select * from table(get_emp1(20))
EMPNO     ENAME     JOB     MGR     HIREDATE     SAL     COMM     DEPTNO
7369     SMITH     CLERK     7902     12/17/1980     800          20

7902     FORD     ANALYST     7566     12/3/1981     3000          20This is a similar function. It returns the same EMP_TABLE_TYPE but it is a PIPELINED function.
-- pipelined function
create or replace function get_emp( p_deptno in number )
return emp_table_type
PIPELINED
as
   TYPE EmpCurTyp IS REF CURSOR RETURN emp%ROWTYPE;
    emp_cv EmpCurTyp;
    l_rec emp%rowtype;
begin
    open emp_cv for select * from emp where deptno = p_deptno;
    loop
      fetch emp_cv into l_rec;
      exit when (emp_cv%notfound);
      pipe row( emp_scalar_type( l_rec.empno, LOWER(l_rec.ename),
          l_rec.job, l_rec.mgr, l_rec.hiredate, l_rec.sal, l_rec.comm, l_rec.deptno ) );
    end loop;
    return;
end;
/The ONLY way I can query this function is by using the TABLE function:
select * from table(get_emp(20))
EMPNO     ENAME     JOB     MGR     HIREDATE     SAL     COMM     DEPTNO

7902     ford     ANALYST     7566     12/3/1981     3000          20The query of the PIPELINED function is the same and the result set is the same.
The difference is that the PIPELINED function returns ONE ROW at a time and does NOT need to accumulate a lot of data in a collection before returning it. That collection uses expensive PGA memory and the more data you have the more memory it uses.
Your function (and my similar one) doesn't return ANY data until it has produced ALL of it. And it uses that expensive PGA memory. What is the point of creating your collection one row at a time and waiting until you have it all before you return it?
You could easily modify your function and add PIPELINED to the declaration. Then use the PIPE ROW clause to return each row as it is produced. That will eliminate the need for the collection (and memory) within the function.
You can also then chain the function calls together if you need to.
See 'Using Pipelined and Parallel Table Functions' in the Data Cartridge Developer's Guide
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28425/pipe_paral_tbl.htm
There is little use for your function that is not pipelined but returns a table type unless you were storing that table-type in an object column of a table.
There are many uses for PIPELINED functions.

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.

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

Collection function taking more time to execute

Hi all,
I am using a collection function in my sql_report it is taking plenty of time to return rows, is there any way to get the resulted rows(using collection) without consuming more time.
SELECT tab_to_string(CAST(COLLECT(wot_vw."Name") AS t_varchar2_tab)) FROM REPORT_VW wot_vw
WHERE(wot_vw."Task ID" = wot."task_id") GROUP BY wot_rept_vw."Task ID") as "WO"
from TASK_TBL wot
INNER JOIN
(SELECT "name", MAX("task_version") AS MaxVersion from TASK_TBL
GROUP BY "name") q
ON (wot."name" = q."name" AND wot."task_version" = q.MaxVersion)
order by NLSSORT(wot."name",'NLS_SORT=generic_m')
Here this order by is causing problem
Apex version is 4.0
Thanks.

How to Make FUNCTION to return multiple column and multiple row output

Hi All,
Kindly Share ur Idea;Thanks in Advance;
i Have Table Demo.
table DEMO:
id name
1 a10
1 a11
1 a12
2 b10
2 b11
3 ccc
and the function is like:
create or replace function (p1 number) return varchar2 as
vid number;
vname varchar2(20);
begin
select id,name into vid,vname from demo where id=p1;
return v1;
end;
this function returns output for id=3;
BUT,
i need output as (for input as 1)
vid vname
1 a10
1 a11
1 a12

A function returns a single datatype.
That datatype may be an atomic datatype (varchar2, number etc.) or it may be an object/record datatype, or even a collection datatype.
Where are you going to use this function? In PL/SQL or SQL?
If you are wanting to use it in SQL, then you would need a pipelined function e.g.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE myemp AS OBJECT
2 ( empno    number,
3    ename    varchar2(10),
4    job      varchar2(10),
5    mgr      number,
6    hiredate date,
7    sal      number,
8    comm     number,
9    deptno   number
10 )

SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE myrectable AS TABLE OF myemp

8                    from (select * from emp order by empno) e
9                   )
10              where rn between p_min_row and p_max_row)
11    LOOP
12      v_obj.empno    := e.empno;

Functionality of cancel,reject,back keywords.

friends let me know the functionality of cancel,reject,back keywords.

hi raja,
BACK.
Effect
Returns output position to the first line of the current page after the TOP-OF-PAGE processing.
REJECT.
Effect
This statement exits a GET event block when processing logical databases in executable programs.
Stops processing the current database table line provided by the logical database and resumes with the next line of the table on the same hierarchy level. Unlike the CHECK statement, REJECT is not context-sensitive but always leaves the current GET event block.
'cancel ' button would be "leave program",
award points if useful.

hello....I am trying to fetch a value in a java function and returning a array......I already write the pl/sql function which is working fine....but i think i m lost......when i run it through the jsp it shows me error........pls help
java code:=

cstmt.registerOutParameter(1,Types.ARRAY);
cstmt.setString(2, bid);
cstmt.execute();
Array simpleArray = cstmt.getArray(1);
values = (String [])simpleArray.getArray();
cstmt.close();
} catch (SQLException sqle) {
error = "SQLException: Could not execute the query.";
throw new SQLException(error);
} catch (Exception e) {
error = "An exception occured while retrieving emp.";
throw new Exception(error);
return values;
pl/sql function
create or replace package vi_dis

It is comparing the selected value against the List<SelectItem> returned by getSetoresOrigem() as it is during the apply request values phase of the form submit request.Ok. That's what I supposed JSF was doing.

If the selected value isn't in there, then you will get this error.I can understand this, but is this right? As I said, the old value isn't really there because I changed the list values to new ones. But the new value (the value of fSetorOrigem ) corresponds to a value that exist in the new list items, so a valid value. So JSF is not considering that I also changed the list, not just the value. It is comparing the new value with the old list, not the new one. Acting like this JSF is making the page looks like a static HTML page, not a dynamic one. If I can't change the list and the value, what's the point of that? In my point of view I'm not doing anything wrong, I'm not violating any JSF rules.

How to create a function that returns multiple rows in table

Dear all,
I want to create a funtion that returns multiple rows from the table (ex: gl_balances). I done following:
-- Create type (successfull)
Create or replace type tp_gl_balance as Object
PERIOD_NAME VARCHAR2(15),
CURRENCY_CODE VARCHAR2(15),
PERIOD_TYPE VARCHAR2(15),
PERIOD_YEAR NUMBER(15),
BEGIN_BALANCE_DR NUMBER,
BEGIN_BALANCE_CR NUMBER
-- successfull
create type tp_tbl_gl_balance as table of tp_gl_balance;
but i create a function for return some rows from gl_balances, i can't compile it
create or replace function f_gl_balance(p_period varchar2) return tp_tbl_gl_balance pipelined
as
begin
return
(select gb.period_name, gb.currency_code, gb.period_type, gb.period_year, gb.begin_balance_dr, gb.begin_balance_cr
from gl_balances gb
where gb.period_name = p_period);
end;
I also try
create or replace function f_gl_balance(p_period varchar2) return tp_tbl_gl_balance pipelined
as
begin
select gb.period_name, gb.currency_code, gb.period_type, gb.period_year, gb.begin_balance_dr, gb.begin_balance_cr
from gl_balances gb
where gb.period_name = p_period;
return;
end;
Please help me solve this function.
thanks and best reguard

Accessing function's return value

Hi there. I have created several pl/sql procedures and functions that I can run as standalone programs and I have no problem integrating them into my java code also. However I cannot access the return value of any created function from my java code. The functions appear to execute correctly because when I deliberately enter an invalid select statement I get the errors I expect to get for that instance nad if I enter a valid select statement in the function the program executes correctly but I still cannot access the function's return value. My java code where I execute the pl/sql function is as follows:
CallableStatement p = cont.conn.prepareCall("{call ? := Hellen.FUNC}");
p.setString(1, "z006"); //hellen.FUNC = function name
p.execute();
How do I access the return value of my function?
Do I need to get a ResultSet?
My function is as follows:
function func
return varchar
is tester varchar(4);
BEGIN
select cfcc_code into tester from hellen.test1 where test1.cfcc_code = 'A21';
return tester;
END;
Any help will be gratefully received, Joe

You need to do something like
p.registerOutParameter(1, java.lang.String);
p.execute();
String result = p.getString(1);Cheers, APC

PLSQL function body returning an sql report returns ORA-01403 No Data Found

I am on APEX 3.1.2.00.02 and Oracle 10g.
I am developing a report with SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query) type. But on running the report I am getting
report error:
ORA-01403: no data found
Region Source
declare
qry varchar2(32767);
begin
--Procedure call
my_pkg.get_query(qry);
htp.p(qry);
return /*select 1 from dual */ qry;
end;
Procedure
PROCEDURE get_query (V_QRY OUT VARCHAR2)
IS
qry varchar2(32767);
begin
qry := ' select name
     , max(decode(to_char(service_date,''Mon-YY''), ''Jan-09'', value, null)) as "Jan-09"
     , max(decode(to_char(service_date,''Mon-YY''), ''Jan-09'', value, null)) as "Feb-09"
     from MY_TABLE
     group by name ';
V_QRY := qry;
end;
The query will be enhanced later to add more months and year based on user parameters once I am successfull in running report on this.
I wish to use Query Specific Column names. I have seen this suggestion from Scott in a number of threads to use /*select 1 from dual */ with query but not working in my case.
Can someone please suggest what can I do to make it working?
Regards,
Amir

Firstly, have you unit tested the procedure (namely, within the SQL Workshop, SQL*Plus, SQL Developer,etc, etc.) to see if it produces the right output in the first place?
If you have, and the query string generated is valid, try assigning the output to a page item (thus allowing you to view it in the session browser) or even pass the procedure output into the debug window (with the use of the wwv_flow.debug function). This might reveal some state or session change which is causing it not to return.You might find this easier to achieve if you change from a 'procedure and out parameter' combination to a 'function returning string' approach.
Alternatively, try re-creating the report in a new region - occasionally I've come across weird bugs with report regions which resolved themselves in this manner.

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>

</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.
