Create Output to Excel from PL/SQL

I've created a procedure that generates an excel output. The output is generated if the number of rows are less than 850. If more than 850, I received a "Page Not Found" error.
I used Note:132262.1 "How to Create Output to Excel from PL/SQL".
Does anybody know a fix or workaround for this issue?

It might be worth your time to check out owa_sylk from asktom.oracle.com. It's a pl/sql package that generates SYLK files, which Excel can then open. By using a standard file format instead of a proprietary one you get away from most of the "which version of Excel" issues.

You are interested in XMLElement and probably XMLAgg. Since you didn't list a version, I can't provide links to the corresponding documentation. I cringe at all the attributes on the Patient element as that info should really be elements.
To create the Measure node, your overall SQL statement may look something like (not tested)
SELECT XMLElement....
          XMLAgg(SELECT XMLElement
                   FROM measures_table
                  WHERE join condition to parent)
FROM patient,
       provider,
       practice
WHERE join conditionsFor additional help, please include your version (4 digits), some sample data, and what you have tried.

Create an ASCII file from pl/sql procedure

hello
I need to create a file starting from a pl/sql procedure launched by command line
I'll have my .sql file containing my procedure; I'll launch it via command line and it will create the ASCII file
In the procedure I'd like to use some stored procedures or functions
is all of this possible?

is all of this possible?You could have the procedure code as well as invocation in your .sql file. In that case, launching the .sql file will
(a) compile your procedure and
(b) invoke it as well
Yes, the compiled procedure can invoke other stored procedures or functions.
To create the ASCII file, you could:
(a) use UTL_FILE supplied package in your procedure; this will create the ASCII file on the Oracle server, or
(b) have DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE calls in your procedure. When invoked from SQL*Plus, this will print out the lines on the SQL*Plus interface and you could spool it to a file on your client filesystem.

Export to Excel from PL/SQL Procedure

Hello,
I am creating a report using PL/SQL and html code. Once the report is display, I click on "Export to Excel" button. it should open the new window with Excel. The window opens in Excel, but no data. I have following code
as the first statement in the procedure.
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER ('application/vnd.ms-excel', FALSE);
and this is the script
<script language="JavaScript">
var param_list
l_param_list := l_param_list || '&p_app_main_id=' || p_app_main_id;
     l_param_list := l_param_list || '&p_from_date=' || p_from_date ;
     l_param_list := l_param_list || '&p_to_date=' || p_to_date ;
htp.prn('
param_list = ''');
htp.prn( l_param_list);
htp.prn('''
function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll){
var win = null;
LeftPosition = (screen.width) ? (screen.width-w)/2 : 0;
TopPosition = (screen.height) ? (screen.height-h)/2 : 0;

My submit is

<input type="button" class="printbutton" value="Close" class="button" OnClick="window.close();">
<input type="button" class="printbutton" value="Export To Excel" class="button" OnClick="ExportToExcel();">');
Can anyone tell me what is wrong.
I have the same code in another schema and it is working fine. Both schema are on the same server. Do they have any set up on appserver in DAD file to be able to see the data in Excel?
Thanks
Yagna

Thank you for your answer dccase!
I decided to go with on demand process. I have trouble with calling procedure from (button URL - javascript:popupURL('#OWNER#.exportXML')) pop window which cause "Forbidden, The requested operation is not allowed" error. I read that this is because I'm using XE edition and there is no HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER role in XE.
Now, I use on demand process and button URL link:
javascript:popupURL('f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&APP_SESSION.:APPLICATION_PROCESS=PLSQL_Export_XML:NO::')
It is working. Now I have to find solution to automatically close popup window :-)
Thanks!

EXCEL from PL/SQL

Hi all,
I have to genarate an excel sheet from the PL/SQL.Simply need to send the oracle data into Excel sheet Using PL/SQL.Could you give anyidea to do that ?
Thanks in Advance
Srikanth,Ponakala

Dear Srikanth Ponakala
Here you have all that you need to carry out what you want.
UTL_FILE
With the UTL_FILE package, your PL/SQL programs can read and write operating system text files. UTL_FILE provides a restricted version of operating system stream file I/O.
UTL_FILE I/O capabilities are similar to standard operating system stream file I/O (OPEN, GET, PUT, CLOSE) capabilities, but with some limitations. For example, you call the FOPEN function to return a file handle, which you use in subsequent calls to GET_LINE or PUT to perform stream I/O to a file. When file I/O is done, you call FCLOSE to complete any output and free resources associated with the file.

How do i create a new table from a *.sql file in JSP

<html>
<%@ page language="java" import="java.sql.*" %>
<%@ page errorPage="ExceptionHandler.jsp" %>
<%
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
String dbUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/test?user=root";
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbUrl);
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate("\\. addresses.sql");
%>
how would i create a table from the addresses.sql file?

stmt.executeUpdate("\\. addresses.sql");This, of course, will not work.
You might even execute it the same way you do from command line with some Runtime.exec() jugglery but I would suggest you to work with my first suggestion unless someone else came up with something better.

You may have to use VBA to split data up into separate tabs.
Or put multiple CSV files together into a single workbook -- again with VBA.

Output fields dynamically from an SQL statement

I'm trying to build an SQL statement that uses the values from one table to form the field names to output in the select statement. I have two tables, pjl_test contains the field names and bp_objects contains the data I want the sql to return... the tables look like this:
pjl_test table:
field_name
OBJECT_TYPE
SHORT_DESCRIPTION
OBJECT_ID
bp_objects table:
object_id, object_type, short_description
275 TS Establish Contract
276 TS Enter contract details
277 TS Review & amend Contract details as required
278 TS Enter/update contractor details
The select statement I'm toying with looks like this:
SELECT (
SELECT field_name
from (SELECT ROWNUM as MyNo, field_name from pjl_test)
where myno = 1) as Name FROM BP_OBJECTS
The problem is that the sql is using the returned field name as a display value instead of a column name and thus outputs the following:
OBJECT_TYPE
OBJECT_TYPE
OBJECT_TYPE
OBJECT_TYPE
I'm sure there must be a way to do this in an single sql statement, is anyone able to advise.
Thanks in advance

I'm sure there must be a way to do this in an single sql statement, is anyone able to advise.No, there is no simple way to get the column name then select those ones in one statement.
Dynamic sql will do that. But not a single statement.
Or maybe some XML package. Then you have to tell about your db vwersion.

How to use java to create an XML document from an SQL database?

Hi,
I'm a complete novice at XML and have only recently started programming in Java.
I'm currently trying to develop a package in Java 1.1.8 which requires a set of very specifically formatted XML documents. These documents would need to be updated regularly by people with no knowledge of Java and I would like to make it as simple as possible.
Since the data will already be in an SQL database, I thought it might be possible to generate the XML documents from the data using a small Java application, but I'm not too sure how to go about this or if this is even possible! Any help or pointers in the right direction would be very much appreciated.

Do you have the option of upgrading to a newer version of the JDK?
JAXB does what you are wanting very easily. Also there are tools if you don't want to write your own. JAXB is available as early release on Sun's site as is the newest JDK. Otherwise, you have to design a factory and interface that will do this for you (which is what JAXB basically is in a very simplified view).

Formatting output to excel in pl/sql

I have a process which creates monthly reports. Then there is the option to view the reports in excel. Everything works great, however I can't find any documentation on how to format the individual cells. For instance: bold, italics, center, left or right align, header cells, etc. All of these and more are issues and I have idea of how to format.

Try assigning a startup template for the users. (tools,general,alternate startup location). In that template, create macros to do what you want.
After using DDE.POKE to get the data into the sheet, using DDE.EXECUTE to run your macros. This is somewhat limited based on my limited experience using it, but it does get the job done for the most part.

Formatting excel generated from PL/SQL

Hi,
My requirement is to generate an excel from PL/SQL which i was able to do from the the following code from Sanjeev. I was able to generate an excel but the data in the cells were all in formatted as 'general' i want date to formatted as 'date' and currency as 'currency'.
I searched further and landed upon the following piece of code
<Cell><Data ss:Type="DateTime">1928-06-25T00:00:00.000</Data></Cell>
but even it was not helpful.
Can anyone help me with this? Can this be achieved?
Thanks,

Would a simple CSV output file do the job?
If so just concatenate your output together using commas, somthing like
select column1||','||column2||','||column3

Creating web service from pl/sql procedure

Hello.
I need to create a web service from pl/sql procedure and i chose JDeveloper for this implementation. I have wsdl, but I never created web services. So, I created web service with document/literal message format.
But I have several troubles:
1. All element names have lower case letters.
2. The SOAP envelope must begin from words soapenv:Envelope but i have soap:Envelope.
3. And operation name has tail like "Element".
I know bad way for implement 1 and 3 points. It's a modification of java_wsdl_mapping.xml and wsdl files. But if I want to add new method to my service all changes will be cleaned. It's not critical but inconvenient to support.
But for point 3 i have no ideas.
This task is very important for me. Can somebody help me?

My question is about the the line "XML_F52E...." as it isn't right and I'm not sure how to proceed.
Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Richard,
Not sure, if i got it correctly.
You are talking abt the element name ?
then, always give meaningful short name to columns in the query.
