Data Grid in oracle forms

Hello all,
Is there a way that I can embed a excel grid kind of control in oracle forms.
Your input will be much much more appreciated
Thanks,
Karthik

in 6i C/S you have OLE-Container, in which you can do that.
but in newer versions like 10g you need Java-Beans, no OCX, VBX or Active X or OLE-Container.
If you have a Bean, which can do that, then you can integrate it

How to Display Grid in ORacle Forms

Hi Friends and Experts
I have a requirement to display the records in Grid in ORacle Forms. This grid is a kind of Java grid. Help on this or any reference material for implementing this would be grately appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Ahmed

what forms-version?
what exactly do you mean with grid? Do you have a special ready-made component you want to use ? Do you have any functional requirements for your grid?
For a "normal" data grid, you could just layout your data in tabular way, perhaps with a stacked canvas, to have a scrollable area to the right
If you use forms in web you could use a javabean for this, if so have a look at Francois's blog-page http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/40-categorie-461064.html
hope this helps

Open sybase data base in oracle form

How can I Open sybase data base in oracle form ?

Its not possible to do it directly but you can do it by installing a Transparent Gateway in your Oracle database. You would then connect to the Oracle database and it would route the table references to the Sybase DB with the help of the gateway. You wouldn't be able to utilize all the functionality of the Sybase DB, only the ones exposed by the gateway.

Displaying Records data as text grid in oracle forms

Hi
I am new to oracle forms. I want to display data from different tables as a text.
And I need to give hyper link for that data.
I am using oracle forms 10g., forms builder.
can anyone tell me the process.. I need it very very soon..
Thnx in advance

Ok, you can populate records in 2 ways
1. Using cursor (if your block is a non-database block)
2. Using EXECUTE-QUERY (If your block is a database block)
If you have created a database view as suggested above, then you can simply add a WHERE clause in the property palette of the block,
then in the button's when-button-trigger write EXECUTE_QUERY.
But if you have created a non-database block, (didnt create database view)
in that case you can simply write a cursor in the when-button-pressed trigger as:-
Declare
cursor my_cur is
select col_list....
from table_list....
where......;
Begin
GO_BLOCK('Name of block');
CLEAR_BLOCK(NO_VALIDATE);
First_Record;
For cur in my_cur Loop
:BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME := cur.col1;
Next_Record;
End Loop;
First_Record;
End;
One more point, as suggested above, you can create the button in a non-database control block,
or,
in the same block with the button's Number of Records Displayed set to 1
in either case, I usually keep the button's Mouse Navigable & Keyboard navigable properties to No,

Oracle Forms does not support Grid.
But you can create a Grid of you rown and embed it inside forms as PJC(pluggable Java Components)

Passing a value for date parameter from Oracle Forms to BIP

Hi
I have created a report with the following SQL query:
select
d_tables.d_seq,
to_date(d_tables.d_created) creation_date,
d_tables.d_created_by created_by,
d_tables.d_pk,
d_tables.table_name,
d_tables.comments
from
d_tables, d_applications
where
d_tables.d_ppk = d_applications.d_pk
and to_date(d_tables.d_created) >= nvl(:P_CRE_DATE_FROM, to_date(d_tables.d_created))
and to_date(d_tables.d_created) <= nvl(:P_CRE_DATE_TO, to_date(d_tables.d_created))
The parameters P_CRE_DATE_FROM and P_CRE_DATE_TO have been set up as date in BI Publisher with format dd-MMM-yyyy
The report works fine when launched in BI Publisher.
I want to call this report from Oracle Forms and I'm trying to pass the values for both the parameters. However, the report does not generate output based on values passed.
Does it have to do with datatype? Does anyone know a solution for this?
Kind regards,
Aparna

Thanks for your suggestion. I am already referring to the whitepaper and have integrated Forms with BI Publisher. The parameter passing is working fine for a varchar2 type of parameter. However, for a date type, there seems to be some problem.

How do you create THIS "grid" in Oracle Forms

Hi,
I am new to Forms. I have to develop a grid very similar to the one shown here.
How can you create the grid in the bottom??
I can't see using any of the standard Oracle toolbox items (like multi-record blocks) for this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
User 122...

Hi Soofi,
Appreciate your quick response.
In the image, can you see a huge grid?
Grid column headings are days of the week, Mon, Tue, Wed etc.
Grid Rows also have names, like Room, Status and Rm. Type.
Cells have various values in various colors (red, blue, green etc) and signs like ">>".
Can you see that??
My question is, how to create a grid like this in Oracle Forms??? We cannot do it using a multi record block.
So, how have they done it??? The form in the image is an actual Oracle Form from a hotel reservation system.

Forms clause query data source data block in oracle forms

Hello experts,
I am new in oracle forms.I am using oracle forms 11g with weblogic 10.3.5 at windows 7.Through googaling I know how to create a database block,forms clause data block and stored procedure based datablock in oracle forms.I want to know that as in case of Database based datablock, could we commit form either on editing records or on insertion or deletion in data block.
I tried this but got error frm 40501.If we can perform editing and creation in such type of datablock then please tell me how.
Thank You,
regards
aaditya

When I base my datablock on a query using the "From Clause" property of the block query data source in the oracle Forms 6i,
I get the strange error
"ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword"
The query I see in the Display Error in Help Menu is
SELECT DAY_NUMBER,CONSULTANT_ID,EVENT_ID,EVENT_NUMBER,SESSION_NUMBER,HOURS_UNPAID,HOURS_PAID,PAPERWORK FROM (EVENT_ASSIGNED_CONSULTANT) WHERE (CONSULTANT_ID=:1)
What should I do now?????? Please remove the brackets () from the table name.
Instead of (EVENT_ASSIGNED_CONSULTANT) use
EVENT_ASSIGNED_CONSULTANT

Accessing Microsoft SQL Server Data by using Oracle Forms 9i

I am currently working on a Project with Oracle Forms 9i at front end and Microsoft
SQL server at back end. Could Any one please recommand me the STEPS to connect Oracle forms 9i application with SQL Server database.
Thanks in Advance...
M. Aamer Javaid

1). Is this functionality be added to Forms 10g or later products or it is obsoleted.
There are no plans to add OCA functionality.
2). Steps to connect Forms 9i natively by using Java Importer.
You will need to write some Java to connect to your source, perform the operations you want to do, and return that data to Forms. Doing this, though, means that you may lose the transaction management functionality that Forms provides for you.
I cannot tell you what Java to write. It depends on your source and what you want to achieve. As for how to use the Java Importer, this is in the Forms documentation and there are papers on the Forms page on OTN.
3). Any third party product that can conenct the both products natively.
I don't know of any.

Robin.

Grid in Oracle Forms

wil it be possiblt to create a form where we can drag the change the width of the columns in the form. How can this be accomplished?

This thread is starting to get a bit off topic but if I can maybe add a few lines and then we can break it off into separate topics.
While Forms does not have a grid control as described, Forms allows you to open up and customise the features of the UI using Pluggable Java components and Java Beans (more on OTN) so you can add this functionality.
However, I don't want to get into the specifics of VB versus Forms argument because you will always find elements of one tool which beats the other. For enterpise companies and senior management issues, it is much bigger than that.
As a platform, Oracle gives you the Enterprise database and everything that entails as well as middle tier infrastructure (the application server) and then a whole suite of tools of which Forms is one.
The pros and cons on a specific direction a company takes would not be made on a couple of "cool" features of the tool but on the sum of the whole and I think that Oracle has proved its success through the customers and its own Applications Suite.
Hope that helps

WHEN_VALIDATE_ITEM triggering not preventing the data commit in oracle form

Hi,
In my custom tabular form, there are some fields(columns) which actually need to be validated for format HH:MI format. The user should ideally enter HH:MI format but I am putting some validation code to ensure format is maintained either HH:MI(08:30) or H:MI(8:30) where valid values of HH would be 00-23 & MI would be 00-59.
As usual, I wrote my code in when validate item trigger of the specific item. Code for reference:
============================================================
DECLARE
v_start varchar2(2);
     v_mid varchar2(1);
     v_end varchar2(2);
v_attribute3 varchar2(5);
BEGIN
v_attribute3 := :XXDWTC_EMP_SCH_DET.ATTRIBUTE3;
     BEGIN
     select decode(instr(v_attribute3,':'),2,substr(v_attribute3,1,1),3, decode(substr(v_attribute3,1,1),'0',substr(v_attribute3,2,1),substr(v_attribute3,1,2)))
     INTO v_start
from dual;
     EXCEPTION
          WHEN OTHERS
          THEN v_start := NULL;
     END;
BEGIN
select substr(v_attribute3,-3,1)
INTO v_mid
from dual;
EXCEPTION
          WHEN OTHERS
          THEN v_start := NULL;
END;
BEGIN
select decode(substr(v_attribute3,4,1),'0',substr(v_attribute3,5,1),substr(v_attribute3,4,2))
into v_end
from dual;
EXCEPTION
          WHEN OTHERS
          THEN v_start := NULL;
END;
IF v_attribute3 IS NOT NULL AND v_start IS NOT NULL AND v_mid IS NOT NULL AND v_end IS NOT NULL
     THEN
IF to_number(v_start) < 0 OR to_number(v_start) > 23 OR TO_NUMBER(v_end) < 0 OR TO_NUMBER(v_end) > 59 OR v_mid <> ':'
     THEN
--DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Invalid Time Format for In1');
          message('Invalid Time Format for In1');
     message(' ');
     RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END IF;
     /* IF v_mid <> ':'
          THEN
          --DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Invalid Time Format for In1');
          message('Invalid Time Format for In1');
     message(' ');
     RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
     END IF;
     IF (TO_NUMBER(v_end) < 0 OR TO_NUMBER(v_end) > 59)
          THEN
          --DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Invalid Time Format for In1');
          message('Invalid Time Format for In1');
     message(' ');
     RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
     END IF;*/
END IF;
EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
END;
===========================================================================================
The trigger is getting fired for invalid data(for error pops up) but issue is I am also able to save transaction. Is it like, when validate is only for the purpose of validation before commit and it will not directly impact in commit process.
Please assist me on the same.
Regards,
Ad

Hi;
For your issue i suggest close your thread here as changing thread status to answered and move it to Forum Home » Application Development in PL/SQL » Forms which you can get more quick response

Oracle Forms New Features - Your input. Supporting data types

I am interested to know IF we were to support any new database types in Oracle Forms 11g, which types would you like supported and why. I'd also like to know if you are currently working around the absence of a database type.
Please note, this is not any kind of commitment to support new data types in Oracle Forms applications but we are interested to know if there is demand and if so, for what types.
Thanks
Grant Ronald
Oracle Forms Product Management
p.s lets keep the thread focused on the topic so please don't post technical questions or comments about different new features - if you want to, start a new thread - thanks

Hi Grant,
support for the "new" - well they exists since 9iR1 ... 2001 - data types TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE, INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND would be very helpful.
Currently it's not possible to use the Data Block Wizard to create a data block for table/view that contains one of these columns.
(In Forms Builder 10.1.2.3 it fails with a strange error message ... iewbdbc_oracle_to_id ... C:\forms\101220\src\ie\iewbdb.c:724 ...)
So, one has to create the data block and the items manually. The items have to be CHARS.
Then forms is able to fetch and display these columns. The user can edit them as normal.
A WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger can be used to make sure that the implicit conversion from CHAR to the "new" datatype works.
For example, an INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH column (b):
declare
l_invalid_interval exception;
pragma exception_init(l_invalid_interval, -1867);
l_invalid_month exception;
pragma exception_init(l_invalid_month, -1843);
l_dummy interval year(9) to month;
begin
l_dummy := to_yminterval(:block2.b);
exception
when l_invalid_interval
then
    message('invalid interval');
    raise form_trigger_failure;
when l_invalid_month
then
    message('invalid month');
    raise form_trigger_failure;
when others
then
    message(error_text);
    raise form_trigger_failure;
end;This nasty trick works for most of the "new" datatypes except with TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.
In Forms 10.1.2.3 the following WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger can (incorrectly!) fail:
declare
l_dummy timestamp with time zone;
begin
l_dummy := to_timestamp_tz(:block2.a);
end;It fails with "ORA-01804: failure to initialize timezone information", if the time zone is not like "-11:00", but like "EUROPE/PARIS". Don't know why...
If we recode our trigger to make a round-trip to the database, it works:
declare
l_dummy timestamp with time zone;
begin
select to_timestamp_tz(:block2.a)
into   l_dummy
from dual;
end;We could avoid these tricks, if Forms (and Reports) would support these type natively.
Thanks, Michael
PS: The TIMESTAMP and INTERVAL data types should of course be supported as items, parameters, globals and record groups columns.

Data Grid in Forms

Hello,
is there a data grid modul in Forms like this in VB?
I didn't found something like this.
Maybe there is a JavaBean that can do this?
Thanx
Jochen

Hi,
thanx for your fast help.
The JTable is a nice thing,
but there are two features I missed:
- click at the table header, I want to sort the data
- doubleclick at a row, I want to get the data of this row back to forms
Do somebody know about a JavaBean that can do this for me?
Thanx
Jochen
