Column value to be displayed as it is without escaping characters.

Hi All,
I have CLOB Column in my database which has large chunks of string with multiple " \n " and spaces but when i select the column in a report and display it , it escapes all of them and displays the unformatted output on the screen .
I want the column to be uneditable and be displayed as it is ..
Any help appreciated ..
Thanks

Hi,
the problem is not an APEX problem. If you look at the source of the page you will see that the line breaks and spaces are there. HTML does not honour line breaks and multiple spaces.
How big are these "chunks"? I have a sneaky feeling that you will not be able to display more than 32K even if it is pre-formatted. Not quite sure though, so you should try it.

"Item Containing Primary Key Column Value" does not display records

Hello,
We are developing a new page where an "Automated Row Fetch" process is needed.
With other pages we experienced no issues. But with a new one, when defining the value for the field “Item Containing Primary Key Column Value”, Apex displays no rows.
As far as we know, Apex should display all the fields defined for the page. Is there any property which affects the fields visibility?
The affected page has textarea and text fields.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Sorry, we have already detected that the problem was at field definition.
Fields should be defined as "Source Type: Database Column". They were wrong defined.
Thanks.

How to display item when mouse moves over Column value??

Hi there
It would be helpful if you could resolve the following :
i) I need to display the column 'A' values of my report in a Text field when mouse moves over column B of my report.
ii) I can able to display the same column value when mouse moves over or onclick happens. but my requirement is something like i have to display the other column value when mouse moves over.
iii) Also i noticed that, i can able to display the item only on "Display only Item" and not on Text field.
Any pointers to display my column value in Text field when onclick happens on my report column?
iv) One more thing that i noticed, i can able to perform onclick or mouse over only on Editable column and not on
non editable columns.
Any pointers on how to achieve the same when mouse moves over Non editable column of report?
Reference: I have created a dummy application (refer the following link), where i can able to display column value Salary on display only item using mouse move Event.
My requirement: when i click column Ename , the text field should show salary.

Vijay,
If you use Jquery then this should do the trick.
$(document).ready(function() {
   $(".t20Report t20Standard tr").hover(function() {
     $("#P2_SALARY").attr("innerHTML",$(this).find("td:last input").attr("value"));
{code}
after looking at the source of your page it seems that your class for your report region is *class="t20Report t20Standard"* I am not 100% sure but you might have to correct that in the template. I am not sure how the selector will handle the space in the class name.
Hope this helps,
Tyson

Oracle Text Help with XML column values

Hello. In addition to being new to Oracle Text, I am inheriting an Oracle Text application and have a couple of questions.
First, A context-based index has been set-up on a CLOB column which contains an XML formatted document. The Auto Section Group parameter has been set to created zones for each tag of the XML document. I have found that when using a browser to display the content of the CLOB, some of the column values have trouble displaying in the browser, where I receive an XML processing error. I believe this is due to the fact that some of the XML document rows contain URLs that are not embedded in the CDATA tag. In any case, if the browser has trouble displaying the XML, will oracle text have trouble indexing the XML and creating the section group zones?
Second, I understand that the NOT operator takes a right operand term and left operand term. Can either of the terms be the results of the WITHIN operator, i.e. "dogs not (cats within animals)".
Thank you.

I bet you just whipped that out, and I thank you with all my
heart, its amazing to me how many ways I tried to do what you did.
Thanks
I have a second question relating to the same problem and
that is in referencing the over state. Currently, I can write
'text' into the text field and see what I have coming in from xml
in its place during the 'up' state.
However, when the timeline hits the 'over' state, the
textfield will display nothing, or 'text' if I have that written
in. I suspect that I am not referencing the'over' state correctly.
Should I add one line of code sort of referencing the text
field and not just the button while in the over state?

How to refer a column value of a single row in conditional column display?

Hello,
does anybody have an idea, how i can refer a column value of a single row in conditional display of a column?
So my idea is, that a report has a column, which value is only displayed, when another column value of this row has a specific value.
I want to solve this problem with condition type: PL/SQL Function Body returning a boolean.
But I do not know how to refer the column value of each single row!
Thank you,
Tim

Here's a solution that, to me, seems easier to implement but, that's, of course, in the eye of the implementer.
Rather than using APEX to generate a link column for you, actually create the link as part of your SQL.
select '<a href="f?p=102:3:491847682940364::::P3_CONTACT_ID:' || CONTACT_ID || "><img src="/i/themes/theme_1/ed-item.gif" alt="Edit"></a>' CONTACT_LINK, ...
etc.
Test this out. You'll see that it works just like making a column a link using the column attributes.
Next, we'll change the SQL to use a DECODE statement to either display the link or nothing depending on what your criteria is. For example, let's assume you only want a link for active contacts.
select Decode( CONTACT_STATUS, 'A', '<a href="f?p=102:3:491847682940364::::P3_CONTACT_ID:' || CONTACT_ID || "><img src="/i/themes/theme_1/ed-item.gif" alt="Edit"></a>', NULL ) CONTACT_LINK, ...
etc.
This will not display the link in any rows in which the CONTACT_STATUS is not active, i.e. "A"

How can I dynamically assign value to a column in ALV LIST Display without using classes and methods?
Thanks,

Hi Vikranth,

Whatever route you take though, you won't do this simply in SQL as the column names of a query are required to be known before any data is retrieved when a query (cursor) executes. You can see that when you use the DBMS_SQL package, where the query has to be parsed and the column names and descriptions are determined before any fetching of data.

I tried to put a condition on column 2 but it doesn't work (Item in Expression1 = Expression 2), "value" is never displayed ...

Display Column Value Once

Hey,
I am trying to only display a column value one time for a record, not a static value. The value changes and there can be many values. I do not think grouping will work since the Date value is dynamic. I am using Oracle for Toad 10.5. There are 4 records with this test data.
select Date, Person, Language, Country
from TableA
TableA
Date            Person Language   Country

Hi,
You can use the analytic ROW_NUMBER function to see if a given row is the 1st row in a group, and only display the person and language columns when it is:
WITH     got_r_num     AS
     SELECT       dt          -- DATE is not a good column name
     ,       person, language, country
     ,       ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY person
                                  ,          language
                           ORDER BY          dt
                         ) AS r_num
     FROM      table_x
SELECT       dt
,       CASE WHEN r_num = 1 THEN person   END)     AS person
,       CASE WHEN r_num = 1 THEN language END)     AS language
,       country
FROM       got_r_num
ORDER BY person, language, dt     -- If wanted
;Your front end may also have a way to hide those values when you want. The BREAK feature in SQL*Plus does this; I don't know if Toad has anything comparable.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) where the query above produces the wrong results, and also post the right results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

Problem in displaying multiple column values using Narrative View

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in I need to display column 1 of an Answers report as a header and all values of column 2 below tht.
There are multiple values from column 2 for every value in column 1
Example:
Group:
Grp (This is column 1)
Activity:
Act1
Act2
Act3 (These are values from column 2)
I have used narrative view for this which looks like:
Group: @1
Activity:@2[br/]
But this displays the value of column1 along with every value of column 2. I want column 1 value to be displayed only once.
Thanks in advance

Infopath display lookup column value

Hi
I have a Infopath 2010 form with which displays an employee record. Some of the columns are lookup from a sharepoint list.
How can I display the value of the lookup column instead of Id in the form.
The form has the main connection and the secondary connection for the lookup sharepoint lists.
The sharepoint lookup column is set to "Title" in additional column settings. Add a column to show each of the additional fields are all unchecked.
I searched google, but couldnt find an answer.
I tried to do the way described in http://sharepointsolutions.com/sharepoint-help/blog/2011/11/get-infopath-to-display-lookup-column-value-not-id/
But get error , since it works for repeated table.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Venky

Hi Venky,
How did you create your look up column? Which column type is the column which your look up column looks for?
By my test, it is default behavior that the InfoPath form display the value of the lookup column.
Thanks,
Eric

Display column values as a series/legend on a line chart where one column value can be more than one category

Hi Everyone
I don't know if this is possible or not, so I will describe it. I have a column in a table called Filing. There are currently three values in it ("Abuse", "Neglect", "Voluntary") and each record has this populated. I also have
the below slicer for the column also.
I would like to add a fourth value called "Abuse/Neglect" that would identify instances where both an Abuse and Neglect petition was filed, which is a subset of the Abuse and Neglect records in the Filing column.
My question is, is it possible to create a line chart that has the 4 Filing possibilities: "Abuse", "Neglect", "Voluntary", "Abuse/Neglect" as the Series/Legend in the line chart?
The problem is that there are records that are more than one category: Abuse or Neglect records can also be Abuse/Neglect.
Paul

Hi Paul,
According to your description, there is a column with the values ("Abuse", "Neglect", "Voluntary") in your table, now what you need to is that add another value "Abuse/Neglect" in this column, and then use it
as Series/Legend in the line chart, right?
In this case, you can add calculated column to your table based on your logic. A calculated column is a column that you add to an existing PowerPivot table. Instead of pasting or importing values in the column, you create a DAX formula that defines
the column values. The calculated column can be used in a PivotTable, PivotChart, or Power View report as you would any other data column. Please refer to the link below to see the details.
