Creating a search form on apex

I have created a form to search the database. I want it to only return the rows that are specifically part of the search critera. "it continues to return all rows in the database'

Hello,
What's the WHERE clause of your SELECT? Probably there's something wrong there or you lose the session state of your search item.

Creating a search form based on a table.

Hello,
I'm currently trying to create a search form which performs a searchquery in values stored in a table in my database.
The table is filled peoples names,lastnames ,telephonenumbers and departments.
I can use the sample application to make a form based on the tableview but this returns a search textfield for every column in the table. I just want 1 searchfield/textfield to search on ALL columns at the same time and display the other fields as labels when returning the queryresults.
I tried searching the forums for an explanation on how to build said form and I checked Metalink but I have yet to find one. Anyone out there willing to help me out?
thanks in advance,
Melvin K.

Why not use an instr with your data in a bind variable in your where clause for the select?? Page 1 sets an item called P2_Parameter with your value string slightly modified ('12345','345632','645534534','3434344')
Select a,b,c,d,e from some_table where INSTR(TO_CHAR(Lookup_column,'099999999'),:P2_Parameter)
Maybe that will work? Its off the top of my head, but should get you what you want.. (But to agree with one of the other posters, it is a BAD Design..) I would try like an interactive report to allow them to enter in acct #'s or whatever these are and let them access the rows that way..
Thank you,

Hi I want to create a search form with drop down search criteria. This form should then search on the same site and display the search results. Is there HTML available for this? Or an oline site that I can use to build this form? I created a form in Jotfo

Hi I want to create a search form with drop down search criteria. This form should then search on the same site and display the search results. Is there HTML available for this? Or an oline site that I can use to build this form? I created a form in Jotform.com, but this form doesn't search the site, instead it sends me an e-mail. Do you have a solution for me? Thanks.

Creating a Search form for Captivate courses

I've been asked to create a search form for our online courses. We do not use the TOC in our courses so the Find field in the TOC is not an option. Here are the ideas I've had so far:
a Javascript-powered form search
a search form widget
a Google search embedded into the surrounding HTML page (But I don't think that Google can "see" text inside the Captivate SWF object...)
Right now, we are using Captivate 5.5, but do plan to move to Captivate 6.0 fairly soon. I'm grateful for any ideas.
Thanks!

You're hitting a bug. See ADF Faces Classical Search Form works only with Entity base VO in JDev 11? for a workaround suggestion.

Instead of starting a new thread with the same question as Query for create manual tabular form using apex collection add row button functionality.
Could you answer the question about what you see while debug the javascript code.
If you don't understand the question or have trouble debug javascript let us know.

How to create a search form? - Jdev TP4 11.1.1.0.0

Hi,
I am using Jdev TP4 11.1.1.0.0.
I have a af:table which is based on a view. I want to have a search form on top of this af:table to query based on the selection in the search form. I have 15 columns in the view. When I drag and drop the "All queriable attributes" from the named criteria I get all these columns in the search form. I need only 3 of the columns in the search form and the af:table should query based on the selection. How can I achieve this? Any help. Thanks in advance.

You can create a new named query with only these three columns in the where clause and use that.
Or you can drag the VO as a search form and remove the columns you don't need.

How To create ADF Search form in JDeveloper 11g 11.1.1.0.1

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 11g 11.1.1.0.1 , in which i tried creating an ADF search form that has Find and Execute Buttons.
I created the same ADF search form using JDeveloper 11g TP3 and TP4 wherein it works fine but not in JDeveloper 11g 11.1.1.0.1.
Scenario....
I dragged a read only view object on to the jspx page as ADF Search Form and dragged the same as Read only table.
After doing this if i run the application the search functionality does not happen .
( I click on the find button and enter the condition and then click on the execute button. records does not get filtered based on that condition specified.)
But when the same steps is done in 11g TP3 and TP4 the search functionalty works fine.
Can someone suggest me what is the issue.
Is this a bug in the new release.

Firefox sync creates duplicate search/form history results

I have Firefox synced on 3 PCs and a laptop. Some of the sites I visit, sync creates multiple duplicates in form/search boxes. Two that I know of for sure are outlook/hotmail (the box you enter your e-mail address) and my bank website (where I enter my account name). For example, I would see 2 or 3 options to select the same e-mail address in the dropdown history box. If I go to delete all but one of them, it disappears completely the next time so I have zero options.
This also only happens on some of my computers. Some of them only have one option (which is how it should be).
Minor issue, but it's kind of bothersome.

I don't use any sync add ons. The add ons I use are flash video downloader and custom new tab.
The duplicates are only on my 'other' devices, not my main device (the one I use the most and the one I created my sync account on). I'll have to wait until I get time to go on my other devices to take a screenshot. For now, this is what I mean. Here is the outlook/hotmail sign in page:
http://www.icts.canterbury.ac.nz/graphics/outlook.com%20login%20screen.JPG
When I press the down arrow in the account name box, I see 2-3 entries of the same e-mail address. Again, on my main PC, I would only see one entry of my e-mail address (like I should). This also happens on my bank website.
When I try to delete the duplicates and only keep one entry, the next time I visit the page, they're all gone. So it seems like there's some bug in the search/form history sync.

Create simple database form in APEX

I'm trying to create a simple form off of a database table or query.
After going through the wizard, the form does not bring back any data.
I see it created a process Before Header: Fetch Row from table_name, but that doesnt' seem to be happening.
Is there something that has to be set to activate the form to actually query?
Thank you.

Hi,
In the form page's "Fetch Row..." and "Process Row..." processes, you can specify two key fields (one "primary" and one "secondary"). As long as the fields you are referencing are a unique combination, this should work ok. Though, ideally, you should create a primary key on all tables.
In both processes, make sure you complete the "...Secondary Key...." settings with the appropriate page item names and table column names. Your form page should also have two "hidden and protected" page items - one for each of the keys - the link from your report should populate both of these.

I understand that the add row button is currently doing a submit.
To not submit the page you need a dynamic action on the page.
Does the javascript function addRow do what you want?
Otherwise have a look at the following two threads Add row in manual tabular form using dynamic action and Accessing Tabular Form & Add Elements to Collection without Page Submit.
You're process could be something like:
Add the new values to the collection using the idea's in the second thread and at the same time add the new row.
And as second action refresh your tabular form.
If you get stuck set up what you have done on apex.oracle.com using the tables from the demo application.

any help or a slight hint is very much appreciated
thanks for looking and taking the time to read it through if u made it this far or even if u made it half way

Thanks that worked and i got the procedure inside apex as well now i have to figure out how to make the search condition so that it will look for a like condition as well so the user can enter sam for samuel and still find the users
declare
 c pls_integer := 0;

How to create Pro grammatically Search Form ?

Version 11.1.1.3.0
HI i have a requirement where i cant use the search panel/Af:guery panel or View criteria to create the Search form,
I want simple search on 3 fields and result shld dispaly in table.
How can i do that??
Thanks for help

Two things:
1. I don't know why you need to have the bean populate the list box -- is it based on other values in the form, requiring a runtime filter? "data" belongs in databases.
If so, I would recommend looking up Cascading List boxes (Shay has a youtube channel with that) and I have a video on that, too.
Secondly, you can have list box on the form that will show the "readable" value to the user that they can select. I have a video on that -- possibly the first video I mentioned, but this one may help too.

2. To create a view criteria programatically:
In the application module, go to the java tab and create an appmoduleimple class. Create a method that manipulates the view criteria and executes the view object. Then expose that on the application module. On the data control, drag and drop the method onto your form. Choose parameter form.
A form should be created that has the input and button.
3. On the data control, click on the method and under it, select parameter. drag that onto the form. Select listbox when it asks what kind of control you want to create. Then it will display the listbox gui to connect the database table. This will create a listbox on the form that users can then select. You can manipulate the view object (also using view critieria) behind the listbox to filter data based on some value on the form.
I am writing from memory here, so I might have skipped a step.

Creating Search Forms

I would like to create a search form for my database. I would like to plug a value into a field, and click a search button that finds the record I want and fills in the rest of the fields. If someone can point me to some docs or give me a hint I would appreciate it.
I can create reports and forms of any type, but I can't figure this one out.
Thanks.
Brian

I guess you are talking of Parameter forms or Customization forms. You can create a report and use its customization form for conditionally querying your records.
For example ...
If your select statement for the Report is something like this...
select ename,sal from scott.emp where deptno=:department;
(Here :department is the bind variable which will facilitate conditional querying when you run the customization form for that report).
