Creating Report via PL/SQL

We have an application using HTML DB from which the we need to create reports for which the standard CSV will not work. The report can be created via PL/SQL except that the report needs to be created on the users workstation or a public location and not the server. Since UTL_FILE writes to the server, I am looking for help from the HTML DB and PL/SQL experts on packages/tools that can be used to output reports to local directories.

not sure of your exact requirements, but consider using utl_file or Oracle Reports to generate your report on the server and then providing your users a "download report" link that lets them pull the file down locally. we talked about using Reports for this at...

DBI re-create reports via dbi designer

DBI re-create reports via dbi designer
I am trying to re-create the "revenue by cost center" report in DBI designer. This report is seeded from oracle, but I am re-creating so that I can know how to create custom report. I followed all the cookbooks, yet it does not re-create in the same way. Does anyone know I can get to re-create exactly. (Please proved docs, website, etc.)
Thanks.

Hi John,
Unfortunately ADF does not provide support for reports. You can use though BI Publisher, Oracle reports or Jasper Reports.
I have demoed this (using BI Publisher) during an Oracle Developers Day/Workshop that I have conducted some time ago. I have even created a post (http://antonis-antoniou.blogspot.com/2010/11/integrating-web-services-into-your-adf_23.html) on my blog with step-by-step instructions and the actual source code.

Create reports within pl/sql

I would like to create a report with all of the sorting capabilities that a standard wizard generated report has, but I'd like to define the columns within a PL/SQL procedure or function. My goal is to return a set of records and for each record concatenate multiple rows from a second set of records based on each unique value from the first. But I want to present the data on one line.
For example:
query1 results
col1 = 1, col2 = A
col1 = 2, col2 = B
query2 results
col1 = A, col2=testA1
col1 = A, col2=testA2
col1 = B, col2=testB1
col1 = B, col2=testB2
col1 = B, col2=testB3
report should look like
col1=1, col2=A, col3=testA1-testA2
col1=2, col2=B, col3=testB1-testB2-testB3

I would suggest using the str2tbl function that Tom shows at http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:110612348061
and doing something like
select col1,col2,str2tbl(...)
from ...
group by col1,col2

Create Schema via PL/SQL block from textbox

I'm trying create a user based on a text box that the user/dba will enter. Is there not a way to use a bind variable for what is entered into the textbox, here is my pl/sql block:
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'create user :SCHEMA identified by :SCHEMA
DEFAULT TABLESPACE USERS
     TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP
     QUOTA 0 ON SYSTEM
     QUOTA UNLIMITED ON USERS
     PROFILE DEFAULT';
end;
Any help is appreciated!

Ok, This work for creating the user now:
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'create user &SCHEMA. identified by &SCHEMA_PWD.
DEFAULT TABLESPACE USERS
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP
QUOTA 0 ON SYSTEM
QUOTA UNLIMITED ON USERS
PROFILE DEFAULT';
END;
All I did was change the textbox to just a textbox w/o submit and made the password a submit password and it worked, now I am getting insufficient priviledges when I try to add in:
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'create user &SCHEMA. identified by &SCHEMA_PWD.
DEFAULT TABLESPACE USERS
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP
QUOTA 0 ON SYSTEM
QUOTA UNLIMITED ON USERS
PROFILE DEFAULT';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'GRANT CONNECT,RESOURCE TO &SCHEMA.';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER USER &SCHEMA. DEFAULT ROLE ALL';
END;
I have disabled Authentication and made it DAD..which is the HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER which has dba role..but still gives me insufficient priviledges. Any help is appreciated!

Create table in PL/SQL proc not working

Hello,
Here is a procedure I have tried to create & run in SQL Developer:

I cannot understand what is wrong with my Create statement at line 3?

It looks like you have no PL/SQL experience. I suggest reading PL/SQL manual. Yes, single row select requires INTO clause. Multi-rows select requires cursor. But this is least of your problems. Your SPp will not complile even if you fix select. Why? SP creates tables dynamically at run time, so tables do not exist at SP compile time. Therefore select from these yet non-existent tables will not compile. By creating tables via dynamic SQL you forced yourself into querying them via dynamic SQL. Now you are trying to transpose (pivot) table. What Oracle version do you have? Oracle 11g provides PIVOT/UNPIVOT operators. Check them out before writing code.

Dynamic SQL for creating report in portal

Has anyone had to create report in Portal using dynamic sql. That is you build up the query commands depending on the parameters entered by the user.
E.g the columns displayed will be what the users has selected in the parameter form.
Urgent reply please,
Femi

Hi,
You can use SQL based reports to do this. The report should have a bind variable. The bind variable is used for the users to enter their values and query is built using the value in the bind variable. The user should enter the value of the bind variable from the customization screen.
Here is an example
select * from scott.emp
where deptno = :vdept
Here vdept appears in the customization screen and user should enter a value for this and run the report.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Attempting to create a AQ$_JMS_MAP_MESSAGE via PL/SQL

I'm attempting to create a AQ$_JMS_MAP_MESSAGE via PL/SQL but can't get it to work.
I'm able to create a AQ$_JMS_MESSAGE and add it to an AQ (of the correct type) however the AQ$_JMS_MAP_MESSAGE can not be constructed in the same way as it does not have a CONSTRUCT method.
Is it possible to create this type of JMS message with PL/SQL? The documentation seems to imply that it can be done.
I have tried the following but get an error; the AQ table is of type SYS.AQ$_JMS_MAP_MESSAGE.
=====================================================
procedure addMessageToAQ AS
--message SYS.AQ$_JMS_MAP_MESSAGE;

As far as I know every object type in database has an implicit construct . It's just that nobody created some nice constructor. Take this example as a "hard way" to create message:

tmp_text_message SYS.AQ$_JMS_TEXT_MESSAGE;
tmp_header SYS.AQ$_JMS_HEADER;
tmp_array SYS.AQ$_JMS_USERPROPARRAY;
-- AQ related variables

eopt dbms_aq.enqueue_options_t;
mprop dbms_aq.message_properties_t;
-- get current date time, so it doesn't change during run of procedure
current_datetime := TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DDMMYYYYHHMISS');
-- initialize array
tmp_array := SYS.AQ$_JMS_USERPROPARRAY(SYS.AQ$_JMS_USERPROPERTY('EVENT_TYPE', 100, 'PL_SQL', NULL, 27));

Hi, I would like to create a database from my numbers spreadsheet and create reports (like SQL). Is there a way?

Hi, I would like to create a database from my numbers spreadsheet and create reports (like SQL). Is there a way?

Numbers is a lightweight spreadsheet. If you know sql you will know that it can handle many queries and is a real databases that can handle many thousands of records. Number is not the correct tool. You can make something that does something like a query but it is not truly a query.
Can you share anything about the specific application and how much information there is in each record? How many records (rows)?

Create a report with PL/SQL

Hi,
I have two pages: the first page contains two text fields and a submit button. In the first text field you can enter a name and in the second field you can enter a number. That means you can search a record by name or by number.
In the second page the report is generated depending on the used text field of the first page.
I tried to to define a region source code with PL/SQL for the report, but nothing appears on the report page although the record I was looking for exists in the database.
begin
if :ENTERNAME IS NOT NULL then
FOR item IN (select "TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_ID" as "PI_ID",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_NAME" as "PI_NAME",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_VORNAME" as "PI_VORNAME",
from "TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION" "TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"
where upper("TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_NAME") like upper(:ENTERNAME||'%'))
loop
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('First name = ' || item.PI_NAME ||
', Last name = ' || item.PI_VORNAME);
end loop;

Hi Suma,
Post the SQL you success run directly on Studio together with error message (even if is the Invalid column index error).
Check there if the parameters case is working properly... Is it really this confusing options:
p_GJAHR
S_BUKRS
p_base_ledger
Why not all lower or all upper? Anyhow you must test and find which option works according your modeling

Printing a report via URL

Hey,
is there any chance to get a report printout via an url call? We can get our reports via url as pdf, html, rtf and so on. In my mind there is no chance for a printout or perhaps email via url?
I tested the delivery API as second way without some good results.
thanks for help and ideas

Hi Gael,
your URL is made up of :
[ProcedureName]?[parameter1]=[value1]&[parameter2]=[value2]
creating URLs like this can have problems especially with spaces and punctuation.
the answer is a FORM
the following will create a hidden form :
FORM ACTION="[ProcedureName]" METHOD="POST" name="F1"
INPUT type="HIDDEN" name="[parameter1]" value="[value1]"
INPUT type="HIDDEN" name="[parameter2]" value="[value2]"
/FORM
you can set the values in the form using:
document.F1.[parameter1].value="abc123%%&&$$!";
document.F1.submit();
will submit the form and the PL/SQL procedure should receive the text as it was contained in the form.
the only characters that can now cause problems are :
" as it delimits the field.
' as it may cause problems in PL/SQL.
\ as it is a special character.
Regards Michael
