I' d like to use dynamic SQL in Form, but i'm attacking a access database(ODBC OCA).
Is there any way to do that?
Thanks.

Answer 1

SEE ALL EXAMPLES
=============
Example 1
** Built-in: FORMS_DDL
** Example: The expression can be a string literal.
BEGIN
Forms_DDL('create table temp(n NUMBER)');
IF NOT Form_Success THEN
Message ('Table Creation Failed');
ELSE
Message ('Table Created');
END IF;
END;
Example 2
** Built-in: FORMS_DDL
** Example: The string can be an expression or variable.
** Create a table with n Number columns.
** TEMP(COL1, COL2, ..., COLn).
PROCEDURE Create_N_Column_Number_Table (n NUMBER) IS
my_stmt VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
my_stmt := 'create table tmp(COL1 NUMBER';
FOR I in 2..N LOOP
my_stmt := my_stmt| |',COL'| |TO_CHAR(i)| |' NUMBER';
END LOOP;
my_stmt := my_stmt| |')';
** Now, create the table...
Forms_DDL(my_stmt);
IF NOT Form_Success THEN
Message ('Table Creation Failed');
ELSE
Message ('Table Created');
END IF;
END;
Example 3:
** Built-in: FORMS_DDL
** Example: The statement parameter can be a block
** of dynamically created PL/SQL code.
DECLARE
procname VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
IF :global.flag = 'TRUE' THEN
procname := 'Assign_New_Employer';
ELSE
procname := 'Update_New_Employer';
END IF;
Forms_DDL('Begin '| | procname | |'; End;');
IF NOT Form_Success THEN
Message ('Employee Maintenance Failed');
ELSE
Message ('Employee Maintenance Successful');
END IF;
END;
Example 4:
** Built-in: FORMS_DDL
** Example: Issue the SQL statement passed in as an argument,
** and return a number representing the outcome of
** executing the SQL statement.
** A result of zero represents success.
FUNCTION Do_Sql (stmt VARCHAR2, check_for_locks BOOLEAN := TRUE)
RETURN NUMBER
IS
SQL_SUCCESS CONSTANT NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
IF stmt IS NULL THEN
Message ('DO_SQL: Passed a null statement.');
RETURN SQL_SUCCESS;
END IF;
IF Check_For_Locks AND :System.Form_Status = 'CHANGED' THEN
Message ('DO_SQL: Form has outstanding locks pending.');
RETURN SQL_SUCCESS;
END IF;
Forms_DDL(stmt);
IF Form_Success THEN
RETURN SQL_SUCCESS;
ELSE
RETURN Dbms_Error_Code;
END IF;
END;
