It looks like forms are not supporting text functions like FR yet, I gave it a try <<MemberName("<Formname>","<POV DIM Name>)>> in the formula header area and it didn't like it. It is just displaying what ever I typed in there.

Dynamic name in formula column header

Greetings, i have a question - is it possible to create dynamic header of formula column?
For example - year on the form is 2012? in the header i want something like ratio "current year picked from forms year" to "current year -1", i.e. ratio 2012 to 2011
Is it possible?

Save a dynamic sql into a column

Hello,
I need to save dynamic SQL into a column called STR in a table.
I have a insert into table A( id, fname, lname)
values(1, 'John', 'Smith');
I have a requirement to save the DML statement that user executed such as this insert statement into table 'A'.
I have to save this into anoter table called 'B' in the 'STR' column.
I have to save that whole insert statement into a cloumn 'STR' in table 'B'
How can do this?
Thank you..

This is not for auditing. The shop wants to save the DML statements in a table when a user does updates and inserts.. at the same time they want to build dynamic sql for this as a string such as update emp set where empno = 1 etc....
could you give me an example please.
Thanks a bunch....

Dynamic SQL rows to column

I have a table something like
                              WHERE    IN
                              Age           18
                              Year           2012,2013
                              Color         Blue
--etc
                              I would like to create a dynamic statement base on this table
                              Dyanmic SQL:
                              WHERE AGE IN (18) and Year IN (2012,2013) and Color IN (‘Blue’)
I am using SQL server 2008 R2. How can I do this using XML path or something

Here you go:
DECLARE @tbl TABLE ([WHERE]   sysname NOT NULL,
   [IN]    nvarchar(200))
INSERT @tbl([WHERE], [IN])
   VALUES ('Age', '18'), ('Year', '2012,2013'), ('Colour', 'Blue,Yellow')
DECLARE @where nvarchar(MAX)
SELECT @where =
   (SELECT [WHERE] + ' IN (' +
CASE WHEN [IN] LIKE '%[^0-9,]%'
   THEN replace(quotename([IN], ''''), ',', ''',''')
   ELSE [IN]
END + ') AND '
FROM   @tbl
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('.', 'nvarchar(MAX)') + ' 1 = 1'
SELECT @where
However, this is somewhat brittle. I'm assuming that a comma is a list separator; never part of a value searched for. I'm also assume that as long as a value is digits only, it is numeric, else it is a string. This would fail if there is a date value
on the form YYYYMMDD.
Probably you should store metadata somwhere, so that you know the data type of a column.

How to rename C00n generic column names in a Dynamic SQL report

I have a an interface whereby the user can select 1 to 60 (upper limit) columns out of 90 possible columns (using a shuttle) from one table before running a report.
To construct the SQL that will eventually execute, I'm using a "PLSQL function body returning SQL query" with dynamic SQL. The only problem is that I have to use "Generic Column Names" option to be able to compile the code and end up with c001 to c060 as the column names.
How can I use the names of the selected columns as the report headings rather than c001, C002... etc?
I do not know beforehand which columns, or how many columns or the order of the selected columns.
I know Denes K has a demo called Pick Columns but I can't access his code. I have a hunch though that he may be just using conditions to hide/show the apropriate columns.
thanks in advance
PaulP

Hi Paul
I would change the Heading Type in the Report Details screen to PLSQL and use the shuttle item to return the column values. e.g.
RETURN :p1_shuttle;
I'm assuming the shuttle already has a colon separated list of the column headings in the correct order?
I hope that helps

How to use the column names generated from Dynamic SQL

Hi,
I have a problem with Dynamic SQL.
I have written an SQL which will dynamically generate the Select statement with from and where clause in it.
But that select statement when executed will get me hundreds of rows and i want to insert each row separately into one more table.
For that i have used a ref cursor to open and insert the table.
In the select list the column names will also be as follows: COLUMN1, COLUMN2, COLUMN3,....COLUMNn
Please find below the sample code:
TYPE ref_csr IS REF CURSOR;
insert_csr ref_csr;
v_select VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_table VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_where VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_ins_tab VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_insert VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_ins_query VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
OPEN insert_csr FOR CASE
WHEN v_where IS NOT NULL
THEN 'SELECT '
|| v_select
|| ' FROM '
|| v_table
|| v_where
|| ';'
ELSE 'SELECT ' || v_select || ' FROM ' || v_table || ';'
END;
LOOP
v_ins_query :=
'INSERT INTO '
|| v_ins_tab
|| '('
|| v_insert
|| ') VALUES ('
|| How to fetch the column names here
|| ');';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_ins_query;
END LOOP;
Please help me out with the above problem.

I Built the statement as required but i need the column list because the first column value of each row should be inserted into one more table.

Then add a RETURNING INTO clause to the query to have Oracle return the first column values into a collection.

Using PL/SQL in a formula column in Oracle Reports Builder.

Hi,
I need to SUM two record from the result of an SQL interrogation.
Here's what it looks like
function CF_1Formula return Number is
nTot1 NUMBER :=0;
nTot2 NUMBER :=0;
begin
     select sum(:TOT1) into nTot1 from table(Q1) ;
     select sum(:TOT2) into nTot2 from table(Q1) ;
     return (nTot1 + nTot2);
end;I'm kind of new to formula column programming any link of interest would be appreciated.
The from table(Q1) part Q1 represents my SQL interrogation name and the group below it is G_MAIN.

Hi Hong Kong King Kong,
From looking at that function name (and the group name): Is this an Oracle Reports generated function?
If so, there's also a dedicated Reports forum: Reports
By the way, I like your synonym for 'query'.
I'm sure I'll confuse some of my collegues tomorrow when I will mention 'database interrogation' instead of 'query'. ;)

Doh...I should not underestimate the information that is posted in thread subjects.

Dynamic SQL Query to Find Special Characters in Table columns

Hi,
I am new to OTN FORUMS.
I am trying to find the columnsi of a table which have special characters in them.
I am planning on using this query
select ' select INSTR('||column_name||', chr(0))
from '||table_name||'where INSTR('||column_name||', chr(0)) >0' from user_tab_columns
where table_name='Account'
and spool the output to run as a script.
Is this the right way or do u suggest any modifications to the query?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I think your basic approach is right. Since you can't hard-code the table- or column names into the query, you'll need dynamic SQL.
Instead SQL-from-SQL (that is, writing a pure SQL query, whose output is SQL code), you could do the whole job in PL/SQL, but I don't see any huge advantage either way.
When you say "Special character<b>s</b>", do you really mean "one given special character" (in this case, CHR(0))?
Will you ever want to search for multiple special characters at once?
What if table foo has a column bar, and in 1000 rows of foo, bar contains CHR (0). Do you want 1000 rows of output, each showing the exact position of the first CHR(0)? If the purpose is to look at theese rows later, shouldn't you include the primary key in the output? What if CHR(0) occurs 2 or more times in the same string?
If you'd rather have one row of output, that simply says that the column foo.bar sometimes contains a CHR(0), then you could do something like this:
SELECT     'foo',     'bar'
FROM     dual
WHERE     EXISTS (
            SELECT NULL
            FROM       foo
            WHERE       INSTR ( bar
                        , CHR (0)
                    ) > 0
            );

SQL from Table Column with Dynamic URL Problem

This is the SQL I'm attempting to save to a table column via the Object Browser;
select
"a"."PBR_BRIEF_ID" "Brief ID",
"a"."PROJECT_NUMBER" "Project",
"b"."DESCRIPTION" "Description",
"b"."ACTUAL_END_DATE" "Actual End",
"b"."RFS_DATE" "RFS",
"b"."LOCATION_CODE" "Location",
''||"b"."ESA_CODE"||'' "ESA",
"b"."PROJECT_USER_STATUS" "Status",
"b"."PROJECT_TRIGGER" "Trigger"
from
UPT1TRIAL.FUND_PLAN_BRIEF_LINK_CCR@NDSD "a",
UPT1INTEGRAL.INT_PROJECT_DATA@NDSD "b"
where
"a"."PBR_BRIEF_ID" = :P3_BRIEF_ID and
"a"."PROJECT_NUMBER" = "b"."PROJECT_DEFINITION_NUMBER"
The intesting bit is the following, where a URL is return behind a particular column;
''||"b"."ESA_CODE"||'' "ESA",
It's interesting because when I click on "Apply Changes" in the Object Browser, the text that appears in the column is as follows, i.e. with APP_ID and SESSION populated;
''||"b"."ESA_CODE"||'' "ESA",
Why would that happen??
The full SQL above is used in an application page with a SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query). The basic SQL works OK but because of what the Object Browser is doing, the link does not.

Damian,
Use

for your < tags and then the message will appear in the proper format.
If you are using dynamic sql to generate an url with APP_ID and SESSSION you could:
a) create page items (P1_APP_ID and P1_SESSION)
b) compute those page items to the actual APP_ID and SESSION_ID
c) use the value of those items while generating your dynamic sql (instead of APP_ID and SESSION)
Then, your links will show the right APP_ID and the right SESSION.

How to determine column length semantics through ANSI Dynamic SQL ?

I am looking for a way to determine the length semantics used for a column through ANSI Dynamic SQL.
I have a database with NLS_CHARACTERSET=AL32UTF8.
In this database I have the following table:
T1(C1 varchar2(10 char), C2 varchar2(40 byte))
When I describe this table in SQL*Plus, I get:
C1 VARCHAR2(10 CHAR)
C2 VARCHAR2(40)
In my Pro*C program (mode=ansi), I get the select statement on input, use PREPARE method to prepare it and then use the GET DESCRIPTOR method to obtain colum information for output:
GET DESCRIPTOR 'output_descriptor' VALUE :col_num
:name = NAME, :type = TYPE,
:length = LENGTH, :octet_length = OCTET_LENGTH
For both C1 and C2 I get the following:
:type=12
:length=40
:octet_length=40
So, even if I know that my database is AL32UTF8, there doesn't seem to be a way for me to determine whether char or byte length semantics were used in C1 and C2 column definitions.
Does anybody know how I can obtain this information through ANSI Dynamic SQL?
Note: the use of system views such as ALL_TAB_COLUMNS is not an option, since we wish to obtain this information even for columns in a complex select statements which may involve multiple tables.
Note: I believe OCI provides the information that we need through OCI_ATTR_DATA_SIZE (which is in bytes) and OCI_ATTR_CHAR_SIZE (which is in chars). However, switching to OCI is something we would like to avoid at this point.

Yes, I was wondering which forum would be the best for my question. I see similar questions in various forums, Call Interface, SQL and PL/SQL and Database - General. Unfortunately there is no Pro*C or Dynamic SQL forum which would be my first choice for posting this question.
Anyway I now posted the same question (same subject) in the Call Interface forum, so hopefully I'll get some answers there.
Thank you for the suggestion.

dbms_output.put_line(category);
dbms_output.put_line(' ');
SQL_String := 'Select lab_name from tto_constituents where :category is not null';
Open Const_cv for SQL_String using category;
Loop
Fetch Const_Cv into vLab_Name;
Exit When Const_Cv%NotFound;
Insert into lab_names values(vLab_name);
End Loop;
Commit;
Close Const_Cv;
End;
I am getting all the lab_names as result.

Dynamic SQL Pivoting(Converting Row to Columns)

Hi All,
I am using Oracle 9i (Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production)
and also 10g version
I am facing difficulties to find out the logic for
converting the set of values in one of the columns into the column headings for the entire query.
create TABLE my_tab ( deptno VARCHAR2(5), job VARCHAR2(50), sal NUMBER);
insert into my_tab ( deptno,JOB, sal) values ( 10, 'ANALYST', 23000);
insert into my_tab ( deptno,JOB, sal) values ( 10, 'SALESMAN', 1500);
insert into my_tab ( deptno,JOB, sal) values ( 10, 'CLERK', 3550);
insert into my_tab ( deptno,JOB, sal) values ( 20, 'SALESMAN', 700);
insert into my_tab ( deptno,JOB, sal) values ( 20, 'ANALYST', 4200);
insert into my_tab ( deptno,JOB, sal) values ( 30, 'SALESMAN', 5600);
insert into my_tab ( deptno,JOB, sal) values ( 30, 'CLERK', 12000);
insert into my_tab ( deptno,JOB, sal) values ( 30, 'ANALYST', 19000);
COMMIT;
SELECT * FROM my_tab
DEPTNO ______ JOB ________ SAL
10 ______ ANALYST ________ 23000
10 ______ SALESMAN     ________     1500
10     _______ CLERK     ________     3550
20     _______     SALESMAN ________     700
20     _______     ANALYST     ________ 4200
30     _______     SALESMAN ________     5600
30     _______     CLERK     _______          12000
30     _______ ANALYST     _______     19000
--And I wish to convert it into this structure:
DEPTNO ________ ANALYST ________ SALESMAN _________ CLERK
10      ________     23000 ________     1500     _________     3550
20     ________ 4200 ________     700     _________     NULL
30     ________ 19000 ________     5600     _________     12000
It may be dynamic. i.e Later i inserted more two records into My_tab.
insert into my_tab ( deptno,JOB, sal) values ( 20, 'CLERK', 3400);
insert into my_tab ( deptno,JOB, sal) values ( 30, 'MANAGER', 48000);
So it should be dynamic.
output is like this.
DEPTNO ________ ANALYST ______ SALESMAN ______ CLERK ______ MANAMGER
10           ________ 23000     ______ 1500     ______ 3550     ______     NULL
20          ________ 4200     ______ 700     ______ 3400     ______     NULL
30          ________ 19000     ______ 5600     ______ 12000     ______     48000
Please help me regarding this.

Hi, Prasanta,
Displaying one column from many rows as many columns on one row is called Pivoting . The following thread shows the basics of how to pivot:
Help for a query to add columns
That example uses the aggregate COUNT function; you'll want SUM (or possibly MIN or MAX) instead.
Getting a dynamic number of columns requires Dynamic SQL . As a simpler alternative to pivoting and dynamic SQL, you might consider String Aggregation , where you concatenate a column from many rows into one big string, to be displayed on one row.
See the following thread for more about string aggregation and other options on pivoting into a variable number of columns:
