Displaying the SQL used in a report

Question

I have produced a page with a number of report regions based on SQL SELECT statements.
Is there an easy way of showing those SQL statements to the people authorised to view the page, e.g. via using an in-built API or function call ?
I am using v2.0.
Thanks.

Answer 1

Hello, thanks for the suggestion, which was very elegant, I thought.
However, I cannot get it to work in either v2.0 or 3.1.
In the latter, I carried out the following steps:
<ol><li>Define a hidden variable called P_SQL with the Static assignment of the query (I just tried 'select sysdate from dual', without the quotes shown here.)</li>
<li>Created a new region of type SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query), the source of which is 'return :P_SQL;'</li>
</ol>
The page however then displays the following error:
failed to parse SQL query:
The query can not be parsed, the cursor is not yet open or a function returning a SQL query returned without a value.
If I put quotes around the statement, i.e. return ':P_SQL'; then I get a slightly different error:
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
If I instead surround the :P_SQL with q'!...!' , I get the same error.
Thanks in advance for any more help.
