EncounteringERR-1101 Unable to process function body returning query

hi,
I am new to APEX and finding some difficulties while developing an application. My application chooses a value from a dropdown, and depending on the value chosen, adds some columns in the report.
The code is somewhat like below:
DECLARE
--variable declaration for col headers for ports
l_p_name ports_ver.port_name%TYPE;
l_id ports_ver.port_id%TYPE;
type pstr is varray(25) of varchar2(100);
nm pstr;
hdr varchar2(1000);
chd varchar2(100);
msg varchar2(6000);
msg1 varchar2(6000);
h varchar2(60);
begin
l_p_name := :PR_VALUE; ----the dropdown value
msg := 'select 1 "Edit" , p.ID "ID",p.TEST_MANAGER "Manager",p.AREA_NAME "Area", p.COMPONENT "Component", v.port_name "Port",';
select version
bulk collect into nm
from ports_ver
where port_name=l_p_name;
for i in nm.first..nm.last
loop
select get_col_head(l_p_name,nm(i)) into hdr from dual;
chd := 'Tstng Pltfrm '||nm(i);
msg := msg||' hdr "'|| chd ||'", ';
--msg1 := msg || 'null, ';
end loop;
msg1:= msg || 'p.imp_blk_bug "Blocking Bugs" , p.NUM_SCENARIOS "No of Scenarios" ,p.PASS "Pass", p.FAIL "Fail" ,p.COMPLETE "Complete" ,p.COMMENTS "Comment" ,v.version "VERSION" from PORT_FFT p,ports_fft_sts s ,ports_ver v
where v.port_name = l_p_name ;';
return msg1;
end;
can you point me some hints?

Hi, and welcome!
Firstly, you don't need to end the SQL statement with a semi-colon as you are returning a SQL query rather than PL/SQL code. So, change:
where v.port_name = l_p_name ;';to:
where v.port_name = l_p_name';Your SQL statement itself uses three tables, yet your WHERE clause only references two - is this intentional?

Unable to process function body returning query

I have a table called ACCESS. The table has two columns, PERSON_ID NUMBER (holds employee reference) and SQL_QUERY VARCHAR2(4000) (holds query 'SELECT COL1, COL2, COL3 FROM APEX_TABLE;' )
I am in the process of generating SQL Report. In the Create SQL Report (Page > SQL Report >Create SQL Report),
I want to dynamically fetch the SQL_QUERY from the ACCESS table something like the below one.
DECLARE
strSql VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
SELECT SQL_QUERY INTO strSql FROM ACCESS WHERE PERSON_ID=100;
RETURN strSql;
END;
I get the error Unable to process function body returning query when I try to run the page.
However if I hardcode the query in the PL/SQL block, it works for example:
DECLARE
strSql VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
strSql := 'SELECT COL1, COL2, COL3 FROM APEX_TABLE';
RETURN strSql;
END;
How to resolve this?

Hi Denes,
In your demo application you are using the below query (function returning sql). Is it possible to store this query as VARCHAR2 in a database table and query the table to return the QUERY ('SELECT deptno....')? Can you explain me with an example?
DECLARE
q VARCHAR2 (1000);
BEGIN
q := q || 'SELECT deptno, DECODE(deptno, ';
q := q || '10, ''<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#bullet1.gif" >'', ';
q := q || '20, ''<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#bullet2.gif" >'', ';
q := q || '30, ''<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#bullet3.gif" >'', ';
q := q || '40, ''<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#bullet4.gif" >'') ';
q := q || 'image, dname FROM DEPT ';
q :=
q
|| 'WHERE CASE WHEN TO_NUMBER (:p1_dept) != -1 THEN deptno '
|| 'ELSE 1 END = CASE WHEN TO_NUMBER (:p1_dept) != -1 '
|| 'THEN TO_NUMBER (:p1_dept) ELSE 1 END';
RETURN q;
END;

Hi Basva,
my best advice is find out where the error happens, e.g. using DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE .
In the next step you can fix the error and rework the code so that it looks nice and has some comments in it so everyone knows what it SHOULD do.
brgds,
Peter

SQL Query ( PL/SQL function body returning query ) page

Hello Friends,
I have a page with type SQL Query ( PL/SQL function body returning query ).
I have written a pl/sql block that returns a sql query - select statment.
Some times i am getting no data found error - does it got to do with the variable that stores the query .
=======================
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
Error ERR-1101 Unable to process function body returning query.
OK
=====================
When the query is returned with records where exactly the records are stored is it in the variable declared in pl/sql block or with the Oracle Apex implicit cursor.
Here's the pl/sql block ..
The query is generated while the user is navigating through pages ..
====================
declare
l_return_stmt varchar2(32767);
l_select varchar2(32000);
l_from varchar2(32000);
l_where varchar2(32000);
l_order_by varchar2(32000);
l_stmt_recordcount varchar2(32000);
l_recordcount number ;
begin
l_select := 'select '||:P10_VARLIST1||:P10_VARLIST2||:P10_VARLIST3
||:P10_VARLIST4||:P10_VARLIST5;
l_from := ' from '||:P10_RELATION;
if length(:P10_WHERE) > 0 then
l_where := ' where '||:P10_WHERE;
else
l_where := '';
end if;
if length(:P10_ORDER_BY) > 0 then
l_order_by := ' order by '||:P10_ORDER_BY;
else
l_order_by := '';
end if;
l_return_stmt := l_select||l_from||l_where||l_order_by;
:P10_STMT := l_return_stmt;
return l_return_stmt;
end;
=============================
Appreciate your help in this regard.
thanks/kumar

It looks like the query string you are trying to pass back exceeds the 32K limit for a varchar. Where this is happening is kind of difficult to tell as it could be any number of points, and also depends on what you are passing into the process via page items.
I would first try to establish what combination of page items causes this error to occur. Then, starting from the bottom and working your way backwards, I would start 'switching off' some of the items you use to build your query until it breaks again, thus establishing which part is leading to the error.
Also, I'm not sure what :P10_STMT is doing (are you maybe using this for visiblity of the query created)?

Function Body Returning Query - Questioning my Approach

Application Express 3.2.0.00.27
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
I have some concerns that I am not using this in the optimal manner.
Essentially I have all my queries in a package body and I call each report as follows:
declare
v_query varchar2(4000);
begin
v_query := apex.report_name(p1=>   :page_item_1,
                                              p2=>   :application_item2);
return 'select * from ('|| v_query||' )';
end;I then generate the string in the report_name procedure
and concatenate the string.
This results in a valid sql string being returned to the database , however if I pass a different value
then I will get a different sql string.
I would rather be able to use bind variables using this approach if at all possible.
So is this the correct approach is there a better approach?

Current project makes extensive use of packages containing Function Body Returning Query report sources to dynamically build queries from SQL modules. However, the queries generated by any function are all used within one page. This enables page item bind variable references to be fixed within the SQL:
function emp (p_commission in number) return varchar2
is
q_emp_qry varchar2(4000) := q'{select * from emp where 1 = 1 }';
k_has_comm constant varchar2(2000) := q'{and comm >= to_number(:p2_sales_comm)}';
begin
if p_commission is not null
then
    q_emp_qry := q_emp_qry || k_has_comm;
end if;
return q_emp_qry;
end emp;

SQL query (pl/sql function body returning query) performance issue

I create my report in building my sql instruction with ( SQL Query pl/sql function body returning sql query );
My report take more than 20 seconds however if i did a cut and paste with the sql code in TOAD the same sql take 1 second.
To try to discover the source of the problem; i take the sql generated by the function and i create another report ( sql query ) this new report take 2 seconds.
My query is very big 25,000 characters with database link.
What is the difference between SQL-quey and sql-query(pl/sql function body returning sql query)
Thanks
Marc

Marc,
Firstly...don't compare the timings from Toad, since often Toad only fetches the first few records for you (i.e. it pages them).
Secondly....the database link could be a factor here, but without seeing your query it's too hard to say.
Can you post the query somewhere (on a webserver say)?

Report pl/sql function body returning query bind variable

I really like using report with a function returning sql. I have been using something like this
declare
q varchar2(10000);
begin
q := 'select col1
from mytable
.... add a dynamic where clause ....
return q;
end;
But I thought it would be nice to store the query in a bind variable so that I could show the where clause. I tried to create an item P123_Q and do the following:
declare
q varchar2(10000);
begin
q := 'select col1
from mytable
.... add a dynamic where clause ....
:P123_Q := q;
return q;
end;
But the parser treats :P123_Q as if it is a bind variable within flow 4000. I found a workaround but I'm wondering if there is a better way.
My workaround is to set a preference in the query and then use a computation that sets P123_Q to the value of the preference:
declare
q varchar2(10000);
begin
q := 'select col1
from mytable
.... add a dynamic where clause l_q := l_q || ....
HTMLDB_UTIL.SET_PREFERENCE(
p_preference => 'Q',
p_value => q,
p_user => :APP_USER);;
return q;
end;
Any thoughts on another way?
thanks,
Anton

SQL Query (pl/sql function body returning Sql query)

Hi All,
I have created a region of "SQL Query (pl/sql function body returning Sql query)" type and it is working fine , but when I am migrating(export /import) this application from development to systest environment ,
It gives error for this region :
Error ERR-1101 Unable to process function body returning query.
OK
ORA-06550: line 1, column 52: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'FU_TRADE_REPORT_QUERY' ORA-06550: line 1, column 45: PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Any pointer ...why this is happening.
Thanks
Dikshit

If your function is a stored function that is called from within APEX (function body not coded into the app itself), have you made sure that the function has been created and compiles ok prior to installing your apex app.
If there are some dependency issues between other PL/SQL units or database objects that are causing your function not to be compiled, you apex install will fail as you are trying to reference an uncompelled bit of pl/sql.
Let me know how you get on

PL/SQL function body returning SQL query - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

I'm attempting to dynamically generate a rather large SQL query via the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" report region option. The SQL query generated will possibly be over 32K. When I execute my page, I sometimes receive the "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error" which points to a larger than 32K query that was generated. I've seen other posts in the forum related to this dynamic SQL size limitation issue, but they are older (pre-2010) and point to the 32K limit of the DNS (EXECUTE IMMEDIATE) and DBMS_SQL. I found this post (dynamic sql enhancements in 11g) which discusses 11g no longer having the 32K size limitation for generating dynamic SQL. Our environment is on 11gR2 and using ApEx 4.2.1. I do not know which dynamic SQL method -- DNS or DBMS_SQL -- ApEx 4.2.1 is using. Can someone clarify for me which dynamic SQL method ApEx uses to implement the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" option?
As a test, I created a page on apex.oracle.com with a report region with the following source:
declare
l_stub varchar2(25) := 'select * from sys.dual ';
l_sql clob := l_stub || 'union all ';
br     number(3) := 33;
begin
while length ( l_sql ) < 34000 loop
    l_sql := l_sql || l_stub || 'union all ';
end loop;
l_sql := l_sql || l_stub;
for i in 1 .. ceil ( length ( l_sql ) / br ) loop
    dbms_output.put_line ( dbms_lob.substr ( l_sql, br, ( ( i - 1 ) * br ) + 1 ) );
end loop;
return l_sql;
end;
The dbms_output section is there to be able to run this code in SQL*Plus and confirm the size of the SQL is indeed larger than 32K. When running this in SQL*Plus, the procedure is successful and produces a proper SQL statement which can be executed. When I put this into the report region on apex.oracle.com, I get the ORA-06502 error.
I can certainly implement a work-around for my issue by creating a 'Before Header' process on the page which populates an ApEx collection with the data I am returning and then the report can simply select from the collection, but according to documentation, the above 32K limitation should be resolved in 11g. Thoughts?
Shane.

What setting do you use in your report properties - especially in Type and in Region Source?
If you have Type="SQL Query", then you should have a SELECT statement in the Region Source. Something like: SELECT .... FROM ... WHERE
According to the ERR-1101 error message, you have probably set Type to "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)". In this situation APEX expects you to write a body of a PL/SQL function, that will generate the text of a SQL query that APEX should run. So it can be something like:
declare
mycond varchar2(4000);
begin
if :P1_REPORT_SEARCH is not null THEN
mycond:='WHERE LAST_NAME like :P1_REPORT_SEARCH ||''%''';
end if;
return 'select EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME from EMPLOYEES ' ||mycond;
end;
And for escaping - are you interested in escaping the LIKE wildcards, or the quotes?
For escaping the wildcards in LIKE function so that when the user enters % you will find a record with % and not all functions, look into the SQL Reference:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/conditions007.htm
(You would than need to change the code of your function accordingly).
If you are interested in escaping the quotes, try to avoid concatenating the values entered by the user into the SQL. If you can, use bind variables instead - as I have in my example above. If you start concatenating the values into the text of SQL, you are open to SQLInjection - user can enter anything, even things that will break your SQL. If you really need to allow users to choose the operator, I would probably give them a separate combo for operators and a textfield for values, than you could check if the operator is one of the allowed ones and create the condition accordingly - and than still use bind variable for inserting the filtering value into the query.

Multiple Select List looping thru PL/SQL function body returning SQL query

Hi,
I have a Multiple Select List. I want to loop through the values from the Select List and process them in a PL/SQL function body returning a SQL query. Currently, my code only returns the SQL SELECT results of one item in the select list. How do I change my code to make it return the results of all of the items in the select list? (I tested it and it is definitely picking up all the values in the select list).

First, I would be careful of introducing SQL Injection possibilities. Any time I see
'Select ... ' || :P123_FOO || ' ... '
I worry about sql injection. In your case you are converting :P50_SELECTED_INSTRUMENTS into selected_items and then selected_items into s. So when I see
'WHERE TO_CHAR(orig_geo_loc_sys) LIKE ''' || s ||'%'' '||
I think, "I could use sql Injection and hack this."
So, I would do some validation on :P50_SELECTED_INSTRUMENTS or some other method to avoid this.
I'm not certain I understand your query. Do you really intend to allow the user to select the beginning of a string and then find all rows that start with that string? Or, do you just want to let them find when it matches the string. This is one way if you want to do matching:
DECLARE
selected_items HTMLDB_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;
s VARCHAR2(32767);
q varchar2(32767);
BEGIN
-- Change the : separate string to be comma separated with quoted strings
s := '''' || replace(:P50_SELECTED_INSTRUMENTS, ',', ''',''')|| '''' ;
-- htp.p('COUNT: '||selected_items.count);
q:= 'SELECT '||
'SUBSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,1,INSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,''-'')-1) AS INSTRUMENT, '||
'SUBSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,INSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,''-'')+1, LENGTH'||
' (orig_geo_loc_sys)) AS ORIG_LINENUM, '||
'sum(orig_intrl) orig_intrl, '||
'sum(orig_extrl) orig_extrl, '||
'sum(recv_intrl) recv_intrl, '||
'sum(recv_extrl) recv_extrl '||
'FROM line_usage_sum_view '||
'WHERE TO_CHAR(orig_geo_loc_sys) in (' || s ||' ) '||
--'WHERE TO_CHAR(orig_geo_loc_sys) LIKE ''2213003%'' '||
'AND switch_id = ''' || :P1_SWITCH_ID || ''' ' ||
'AND call_start_date > TO_DATE(''30-NOV-1999'') ' ||
'AND call_clear_time > TO_DATE(''30-NOV-1999'') '||
'AND '||
:SORTFIELD||' BETWEEN '||
'TO_DATE(:STARTDATE,''dd-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'') AND '||
'TO_DATE(:STOPDATE, ''dd-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'') '||
'GROUP BY GROUPING SETS (orig_geo_loc_sys)';
-- htp.p('SQL query: '||q);
RETURN q;
END;
If you want to do something more like you originally stated, try this:
DECLARE
selected_items HTMLDB_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;
s VARCHAR2(20);
q varchar2(32767);
BEGIN
selected_items := HTMLDB_UTIL.STRING_TO_TABLE(:P50_SELECTED_INSTRUMENTS);
-- htp.p('COUNT: '||selected_items.count);
q:= 'SELECT '||
'SUBSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,1,INSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,''-'')-1) AS INSTRUMENT, '||
'SUBSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,INSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,''-'')+1, LENGTH'||
' (orig_geo_loc_sys)) AS ORIG_LINENUM, '||
'sum(orig_intrl) orig_intrl, '||
'sum(orig_extrl) orig_extrl, '||
'sum(recv_intrl) recv_intrl, '||
'sum(recv_extrl) recv_extrl '||
'FROM line_usage_sum_view '||
'WHERE 1=1 ';
FOR i in 1..selected_items.count LOOP
s := TO_CHAR(selected_items(i));
q := q || ' and TO_CHAR(orig_geo_loc_sys) LIKE '''|| s ||'%'' ' ;
END LOOP;
q := q || ||'%'' '||
--'WHERE TO_CHAR(orig_geo_loc_sys) LIKE ''2213003%'' '||
'AND switch_id = ''' || :P1_SWITCH_ID || ''' ' ||
'AND call_start_date > TO_DATE(''30-NOV-1999'') ' ||
'AND call_clear_time > TO_DATE(''30-NOV-1999'') '||
'AND '||
:SORTFIELD||' BETWEEN '||
'TO_DATE(:STARTDATE,''dd-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'') AND '||
'TO_DATE(:STOPDATE, ''dd-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'') '||
'GROUP BY GROUPING SETS (orig_geo_loc_sys)';
-- htp.p('SQL query: '||q);
RETURN q;
END;
Hope this helps...

SQL Query (PL/SQL Function Body returning SQL query) doesn't return any row

I have a region with the following type:
SQL Query (PL/SQL Function Body returning SQL query).
In a search screen the users can enter different numbers, separated by an ENTER.
I want to check these numbers by replacing the ENTER, which is CHR(13) || CHR(10) I believe, with commas. And then I can use it like this: POD IN (<<text>>).
It's something like this:
If (:P30_POD Is Not Null) Then
v_where := v_where || v_condition || 'POD IN (''''''''||REPLACE(''' || :P30_POD || ''', CHR(13) || CHR(10), '','')||'''''''''')';
v_condition := ' AND ';
End If;
But the query doesn't return any rows.
I tried to reproduce it in Toad:
select * from asx_worklistitem
where
POD IN (''''||REPLACE('541449200000171813'||CHR(13) || CHR(10)||'541449206006341366', CHR(13) || CHR(10), ''',''')||'''')
==> This is the query that does't return any rows
select (''''||REPLACE('541449200000171813'||CHR(13) || CHR(10)||'541449206006341366', CHR(13) || CHR(10), ''',''')||'''')
from dual;
==> This returns '541449200000171813','541449206006341366'
select * from asx_worklistitem
where pod in ('541449200000171813','541449206006341366');
==> and when I copy/paste this in the above query, it does return my rows.
So why does my first query doesn't work?
Doe anyone have any idea?
Kind regards,
Geert

Thanks for the help.
I made it work, but via the following code:
If (:P30_POD Is Not Null) Then
v_pods := REPLACE(:P30_POD, CHR(13) || CHR(10));
v_where := v_where || v_condition || 'POD IN (';
v_counter := 1;
WHILE (v_counter < LENGTH(v_pods)) LOOP
v_pod := SUBSTR(v_pods, v_counter, 18);
IF (v_counter <> 1) THEN
v_where := v_where || ',';
END IF;
v_where := v_where || '''' || v_pod || '''';
v_counter := v_counter + 18;
END LOOP;
v_where := v_where || ')';
v_condition := ' AND ';
End If;But now I want to make an update of all the records that correspond to this search criteria. I can give in a status via a dropdownlist and that I want to update all the records that correspond to one of these POD's with that status.
For a region you can build an SQL query via PL/SQL, but for a process you only have a PL/SQL block. Is the only way to update all these records by making a loop and make an update for every POD that is specified.
Because I think this will have a lot of overhead.
I would like to make something like a multi row update in an updateable report, but I want to specify the status from somewhere else. Is this possible?

Using Package to produce pl/sql function body returning sql query Report

I have existing code that we want to use in building reports in APEX. We are needing to modify it slightly to handle some new requirements, but would like to use them in reports based upon SQL query (pl/sql function body returning sql query) functionality.
Any suggestions as how to call these in an APEX report region?
Thank you,
Tony Miller

Hi Tony-
I am also v new to Apex and you may have answered a question I was in search of. I, however, now have a couple more. First a bit of background-- Like in your situation, my college has a lot of existing code (400 +) that we need to get into Apex. The majority of this canned code contains one/both: 1) many lines, sometimes containing multiple select statements 2) imbedded create table & view statements (temp user owned). Up until reading your post, I was unable to figure out an easy way of getting this existing code into the product. Thanks. Now the questions, do you know how I would go about dealing with the create tables/views. I've read some posts on this forum which suggest temporary tables being unstable in this environment. Also, do you know if there's a size limitation when passing sql code via a function?
As you may/may not be able to tell, I'm a bit lost right now... so any info you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks.

PL/SQL function body return sql query, no data found problem

Hi all,
we are trying to build a dynamic report based on item selection by user. we are using SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query). However when a user change the item and submit the page . The following error appears.
ORA-01403: no data found.
our query is so simple
declare
l_query varchar2(30000) default 'select id from chw';
begin
if(:P11_PARA=1) then
l_query:='select name from chw';
end if;
return l_query;
end;
any quick help please.

Hello Mike,
I tried it, the problem still exists.
ORA-01403: no data found
my new code is
declare
l_query varchar2(30000) default 'select id from chw';
begin
if (nvl(TO_NUMBER(:P11_PARA),0) = 1) then
l_query:='select name from chw';
end if;
return (l_query);
end;
note, there is no process in this page.

PLSQL function body returning an sql report returns ORA-01403 No Data Found

I am on APEX 3.1.2.00.02 and Oracle 10g.
I am developing a report with SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query) type. But on running the report I am getting
report error:
ORA-01403: no data found
Region Source
declare
qry varchar2(32767);
begin
--Procedure call
my_pkg.get_query(qry);
htp.p(qry);
return /*select 1 from dual */ qry;
end;
Procedure
PROCEDURE get_query (V_QRY OUT VARCHAR2)
IS
qry varchar2(32767);
begin
qry := ' select name
     , max(decode(to_char(service_date,''Mon-YY''), ''Jan-09'', value, null)) as "Jan-09"
     , max(decode(to_char(service_date,''Mon-YY''), ''Jan-09'', value, null)) as "Feb-09"
     from MY_TABLE
     group by name ';
V_QRY := qry;
end;
The query will be enhanced later to add more months and year based on user parameters once I am successfull in running report on this.
I wish to use Query Specific Column names. I have seen this suggestion from Scott in a number of threads to use /*select 1 from dual */ with query but not working in my case.
Can someone please suggest what can I do to make it working?
Regards,
Amir

Firstly, have you unit tested the procedure (namely, within the SQL Workshop, SQL*Plus, SQL Developer,etc, etc.) to see if it produces the right output in the first place?
If you have, and the query string generated is valid, try assigning the output to a page item (thus allowing you to view it in the session browser) or even pass the procedure output into the debug window (with the use of the wwv_flow.debug function). This might reveal some state or session change which is causing it not to return.You might find this easier to achieve if you change from a 'procedure and out parameter' combination to a 'function returning string' approach.
Alternatively, try re-creating the report in a new region - occasionally I've come across weird bugs with report regions which resolved themselves in this manner.

PL/SQL function body returning SQL - report error:ORA-01403: no data found

Hi,
I am working on Application Express 4.0.2.00.06, and 11G database.
I have a problem with classic report area of type - PL/SQL function body returning SQL query. Query works if I define region area as - Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only), and does not when I define it - Use Query-Specific Column Names and Validate Query.
I am getting error:
report error:ORA-01403: no data found
This is my query that is returned from function, and displayed with htp.p, and it works ok and returns data in SQL Developer and SQL Workshop (in Apex).
<code>

As you can see, I even tried with workaround that I found on the previous post on the forum, and that is to put /* select 1 from dual */ to start query.
Any help would be appriciated.
