Easy way to display lookup value of a foreign key reference vs value itself

I've figured out how to do this for a Form
http://www.dba-oracle.com/htmldb/t_lov_list_values_master_parent_child.htm
...but not for a report which lists the data row by row.
Given table Centre with the following columns:
ID
Name
Department_ID
and given table Department with the following columns:
ID
Name
When the report runs on the Centre table it simply queries ID, Name and Department_ID from the database, and then displays each column as is.
Instead of displaying the Department_ID from the Centre table (which is a number and not very informational), how can I make it display the Name from the department table?
I have lots of other similar fields which need to be displayed in this way so I'm hoping there isn't a ton of configuration/coding I need to do.

Hi,
Try report query
SELECT a.id,
a.name,
b.name dept_name
FROM centre a,
department b
WHERE a.department_id = b.idBr,Jari

Display lookup value for update in a form field

OK, this seems like a simple thing to do, but for some reason I can't seem to figure it out.
I have a table with several foreign keys which are number ids. I've created a form using shared component dynamic LOVs for those fields where the LOV retrieves display values from the foreign key related tables . So far, so good. If I run the form to create a new record, it works fine. But if I call the form from a report with a link column (ala Master-Detail Form) for update purposes, all the data is fetched into the form properly except the foreign key related table LOV display data. The LOV data fetched into the fields is always the first value in the LOV list, and not the value based upon the foreign key values in the record. I want the value displayed to be based upon the foreign key in the record.
What am I doing wrong?

Displaying information other than a foreign key in 'interactive reports'

I would be very grateful if someone could help with the following query. I have 2 tables (*Table1* and Table2). Table1 has the following columns:-
Tbl1PrimaryKey, Tbl1Description
Table2 has the following columns:-
Tbl2PrimaryKey, Tbl2Description, Tbl1ForeignKey
Where Tbl1PrimaryKey is the 'primary key' in Table1, Tbl2PrimaryKey is the 'primary key' in Table2 and Tbl1ForeignKey is a 'foreign key' and uses the 'primary key' from Table1.
I would like to create a page which displays the description of Table2 and Table1 on a web page, however, using an 'interactive report' in APEX, the resulting web page displays:-
Tbl2PrimaryKey, Tbl2Description, Tbl1ForeignKey
I would like to change the underlying code to display Tbl1Description instead of the primary key, but I can't get the SQL coding correct. The region source sql code at present is:-
select "Tbl2PrimaryKey",
"Tbl2Description",
"Tbl1ForeignKey"
from "#OWNER#"."Table2"
Any help regarding the above query will be appreciatiated.

Try one of the following in the Source:
in-line query...(My favorite)
select "Tbl2PrimaryKey",
"Tbl2Description",
(select Tbl1Description from Table1 where "Table2"."Tbl1ForeignKey" = Table1.Tbl1PrimaryKey) Tbl1Description
from "#OWNER#"."Table2"
-or-
Classic Join (if Tbl1ForeignKey is NOT NULL)
select "Tbl2PrimaryKey",
"Tbl2Description",
Tbl1Description
from "#OWNER#"."Table2", Table1
where "Table2"."Tbl1ForeignKey" = Table1.Tbl1PrimaryKey
Hope that helps,

Easier way to display report POVs - Financial reporting

Currently I add a text box in the lower left hand corner of each report and type in the POVs used for the report.
For example:
POVs
Version: <<MemberAlias('Grid1', Version)>>
Business Line: <<MemberAlias('Grid1', BusinessLine)>>
Is there are way to generate this similar to when export to excel from a Financial Snapshot? Pretty tedious ( I save it as a reporting object but still have to tweak based on different POVs per report)
thanks
JTS

I believe my text boxes export as well... but then, I do not use the snapshot, I run the report as an export from the live report book.

How to display Zero values in the chart

Hi,
In BO design studio 1.3 we are using bar chart and line chart for one of the dashboard. we have enabled the data labels and data is also displaying in the chart, but for certain criteria the data is itself zero in the database. In such scenario chart is not showing zero as the data label and it is simply blank. Is there any way to display the values even though it is zero?
Thank You,

Displaying BLOB value

Hello,
Working on Oracle 10G R2/Windows
There is a way to display BLOB value from SQL*PLUS or other tools?
Thank for your help

from sql*plus you can only display first 32767 character from the blob ,however you can write to file using pl/sql and read that file.
DECLARE
l_file UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
l_buffer RAW(32767);
l_amount BINARY_INTEGER := 32767;
l_pos INTEGER := 1;
l_blob BLOB;
l_blob_len INTEGER;
cursor c1 is SELECT RAWCONTENT FROM BLOCK;
BEGIN
-- Get LOB locator
-- Open the destination file.
l_file := UTL_FILE.fopen('BLOBS','Myfile.lst','w', 32767);
open c1;
loop
fetch c1 into l_blob;
exit when c1%notfound;
l_blob_len := DBMS_LOB.getlength(l_blob);
-- Read chunks of the BLOB and write them to the file
-- until complete.
WHILE l_pos < l_blob_len LOOP
DBMS_LOB.read(l_blob, l_amount, l_pos, l_buffer);
UTL_FILE.put_raw(l_file, l_buffer, TRUE);
l_pos := l_pos + l_amount;
END LOOP;
end loop;
-- Close the file.
UTL_FILE.fclose(l_file);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
-- Close the file if something goes wrong.
IF UTL_FILE.is_open(l_file) THEN
UTL_FILE.fclose(l_file);
END IF;
RAISE;
END;

Displaying Array values in Details section

Hi All,
I am having trouble with Arrays in Crystal Reports.
I have made a Shared string array in my main report and am using the same in a sub report. In the sub report I need to print the values in the array one below another like a table.
Say the array MyArray has values (INDIA, USA, CHINA, JAPAN, UK)
Right now I have made a formula in which I iterate through each of them and use Join(MyArray[i], ChrW(10))
ChrW(10) as you might know is used to make a new line. So the formula output essentially looks like the way I want it, that is
INDIA
USA
CHINA
JAPAN
UK
But its still a formula and acts like a single cell. If I export it into Excel, all the values will come in single cell. Moreover, When I use it like this, I cannot do proper formatting on it either.
Is there any way to make Array behave like a table and use the same in Detail section. I do not want to hit the DB again for this purpose.
Thanks

Hi Antony,
The only way to display the values on the Detail section is to 'get those values from the database'.
Instead of using a shared array variable, use a comma separated string. Here's what you need to do:
1) In the Main Report, open your existing shared variable formula and add a new variable:
shared stringvar array <exisiting variable name>;
stringvar new_variable;
existing code line 1
existing code line 2
existing code line 3
new_variable = Join(array_variable_name, ",");
2) Right-click the Subreport > Select change Subreport Links > Move the above formula to the pane on the right > Uncheck the option at the bottom right that says 'Select data in Subreport based on field'.
3) Get into the Subreport and use this as the Record Selection Formula:
{database_field} IN Split({@Pm-formula_name}, ",") //Replace {@Pm-formula_name} with the parameter name that is automatically created in the Subreport.

Display multiple values for a characteristic for Equipment.

Hi is there any way to display multiple values for characteristics of an equipment. Ex. An equipment (Presss) produces multiple ROH Parts. The class VN_TOOl with charactersistic "Part Produced" . When I run IH08 and execute the query, >Show , hide classification I can only get just one part instead of multiple parts. How do I get multiple values for the characteristic

Yes Chandra,
You are not getting it in IH08, but you are getting it in IE07. See this.
IH08
IE07
If you want the report in the ALV layout, then you need to go for a development using FMs in Classification areas such as:
'BAPI_OBJCL_GETCLASSES' 'ALM_ME_CLASS_CHAR_GETDETAIL'
