Equivalent Sql function for Forms NAME_IN() built in

Please let me know, is there any equivalent Sql function equivalent to Forms Name_in() built in. Thanks.

What would such a function do in pure SQL? Or are you asking if you can refer to Forms variables in SQL that you issue from Forms?
The answer to the first question I will delay until you define what it is that you want to do. The answer to the second question is that there is no way to do that. The database has no way of knowing how to resolve references to variables defined in client side PLSQL.

Built in SQL Function for Sum of Geometric Progression

Hi all,
Please let me know if there is any availble built in SQL function for
SUm of Geometric Progression.
Thanks in Advance,
Kaushik B.

and also relatively simple to write:
s = a*(1-power(r,n+1))/(1-r)
assuming you have a row with values of a,r and n (and that's the sum you need)

SQL functions in forms

Hi
I am using forms 4.5 and I have the following code in one of the program untis.
SELECT     trim(leading '-' from nvl(SUM(nvl(TRANS_QTY,0)),0)) NET
     FROM      inventories
     WHERE     TRANS_QTY LIKE '-%' ;
i.e I want the sum of all the quantities dispatched. For received quantities, it is + and for dispatched, it is -.
The above code works fine in SQL plus session. When used in forms, it returns
encountered the symbol '-' when expection one of the following.........error.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

As of now, I used abs instead of trim and performed desired operation.
SELECT abs(SUM(nvl(TRANS_QTY,0))) NET
FROM inventories
WHERE TRANS_QTY LIKE '-%' ;
I woudl like to know if it is possible to use trim (SQL functions) or not.
Thanks.

PL/SQL-Function for validation

I wrote a PL/SQL function in order to validate that the SUM of input-values doesn't exceed 100.
I used validation rule from APEX for PL/SQL-expression (same like SQL-expression):
f_page_16_validation(:P16_PSP_PSP)<=100 (Condition: CREATE, SAVE)
source code for function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION f_page_16_validation
(pi_p16_psp_psp VARCHAR2)
RETURN NUMBER
IS
vl_sum NUMBER(5) := 0;
BEGIN
SELECT NVL(SUM(psp_anteil_projekt),0) INTO vl_sum
FROM st_psp_projekt_psp
WHERE UPPER(psp_psp) = pi_p16_psp_psp;
RETURN vl_sum;
END f_page_16_validation;
When I check in SQL*Plus against database: SELECT f_page_16_validation('A_TEST_UHL_PSP%') FROM dual;
I get the correct value. When I input into APEX-Application the validation rule doesn't fire (CREATE). If my SUM is over 100 and try to change
one value (in order to come under 100) (SAVE) - the validation rule fires but quite independent of the SUM - it accepts NO VALUE!!
Apex-Version: 3.1.1.00.09
Can somebody tell me what's wrong? Is there any other way - SQL,PL/SQL-expression, PL/SQL-function body (bool, error text) didn't work.

1. If your PL/SQL expression is written as you stated:
f_page_16_validation(:P16_PSP_PSP)<=100then you will receive an error message if the total is <= 100 and not if it exceeds 100.
2. Where in your code do you consider the input values? I see that you are selecting from a table, where your already inserted values are but I see no input values. Are you using a form or a tabular form? If I look at the names of your buttons then I wouls say you are using a form.
3. You are talking about condition. What type of condition you use? I would use a PL/SQL Expression like this:
:REQUEST IN ('CREATE', 'SAVE')4. I would suggest to use a validation of type PL/SQL Function Returning Error Text since you can put all the code in one.

XMLType schema detail lost in pl/sql function for a jdeveloper webservice

If I write a very simple pl/sql procedure to wrap as a web service to return the XML from an XMLtype table column, the jdeveloper (11.1.1.3) web service generation process seems to ignore the detail
of the registered XMLTypes' schema, and converts the 'output' to an xsd:string in the generated WSDL file, which has knock on effect that generated data controls are 'dumb' in only seeing output as a string, and providing no real data functionality at XML schema level. Since I know web service data controls work fine when provided with the correct level of detail in the WSDL, what am I missing in terms of pursuading jdeveloper to generate wsdl's with full xsd schema info for the return XMLType?
This is my table:

Using pl/sql functions for transformation

How can I use pl/sql functions in the transformation mapping field for my interface?
I have a name field where firstname and lastname are concatenated via a space-character and I would like to extract this 'name' field to 2 separate database attributes.
This means that I need to use a function that uses SUBSTRING and INSTR to be able to get the firstname and lastname separatly out of the name-field.
The INSTR-function isn't known inside the expression editor in ODI so I'm wondering how I can use my own function?

Hi Romanna,
Are you sure? Where did you do your transformation?
-Source, Staging area or Target
I try this on Oracle target...
FIRST_NAME = substr(MYTABLE.FIRST_LASTNAME, 1, instr(MYTABLE.FIRST_LASTNAME, ' ')-1)
LAST_NAME = substr(MYTABLE.FIRST_LASTNAME,instr(MYTABLE.FIRST_LASTNAME, ' ')+1)

Sql function for fetching only initail char of string

Hi All,
I would like to know is there any sql builtin function which returns initial char(abbrevation) of any string pass to it
for eg. DEPARTMENT SUB GROUP should return DSG..
Pls do share with me if any 1 is aware of this or who has already self defined any function for this purpose.
Thanks in Advance

And if you have 10g available, here's the regex version:
with t as (select 'DEPARTMENT SUB GROUP' col1
from dual)
select t.col1, regexp_replace(t.col1, '(\w)\w*\s*', '\1')
from t;Small correction, just in case we only have 1 letter words.

Additional functions for form creation

Is there any additional functions for selecting members for forms.
For example ILvl0Descendants used to be hidden and if you knew the syntax you could type it in. Now of course it is an option but wondering if there might be others that are still hidden but work.
Specifically I want to use @UDA but if there are others they might fufill my needs.
Ultimately kind of annoying that forms don't allow for all the standard functions available in Planning and Essbase

Hi,
You can't currrently (11.1.1.3) use UDA, the current list is :-
Member
Descendants
Descendants (inc)
Ancestors
Ancestors (inc)
Siblings
Siblings (inc)
Parents
Parents (inc)
Children
Children (inc)
Level 0 Descendants
DTS (e.g. Y-T-D)

Built-in functions for Forms in Oracle AS 10g

Hi,
We have recently installed form and report services for AS10g.
Altough we have successfully converted and deployed static 6i forms to the server, the built in functions (like CALL FORM etc.) doesn't work.
For instance a form is diplayed and is able to retrieve data but it does actually nothing when a button is pressed with underlying CALL_FORM, SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY functions.
In our developer's devSuite these functions work fine, so I wonder if some service to be added to the server side.
Any help will be appreciated,
Thanks,
Guney Hanedan

If your development and target systems are different make sure you regenerate the FMX files...also make sure you have the correct case....in windows CALL_FORM('FormA') is will call a form called FORMA or ForMA or FORma..if you are deployed on unix or linux this will fail .

How can i make a pl/sql function for BLOB datatype

hi..anyone here who is very familiar about BLOB datatype. i have a COLUMN_ID, COLUMN_A in a certain TABLE_1. COLUMN_A is blob datatype that contains almost 250,000rows
SQL>select column_A from table_1 where column_id=1234567
column_A
00000001000000010000000606D4E833074B69EC06D4E91F074CO18406D50C58074C031E
how can i make a user-defined function to compute and convert this blob datatype into decimal length value. this hex value are points in the map.. the function must contain
1.get the length of a blob then
2.convert blob to variable hexadecimal characters by parsing it into 8
3.to_number function or other function used to convert haxadecimal characters to decimal numbers
4.phythagorean formula to compute length between two points. this is the formula i think LENGTH =
SQRT(power((coordinate_x-prev_coordinate_x),2)+power((coordinate_y-prev_y),2));
after this when i type this
SQL>select user_function(column_A) from table_1 where column_id=1234567
user_functions(column_A)
--output length will be in decimal value already
the function will goes like this
step1 is to get the blob length
00000001000000010000000606D4E833074B69EC06D4E91F074CO18406D50C58074C031E
step2 is parsing of data by eights
00000001 =>1
00000001 =>1
00000006 =>6 (number of coordinates)
06D4E833 => X1
074B69EC => Y1
06D4E91F => X2
074CO184 => Y2
06D50C58 => X3
074C031E => Y3
step3 to_number function used to convert hex char to decimal
step4 compute by phytagorean (NOTE ! when computing length the third parsed eight will tell how many coordinates are there..the number of coordinates is ranging from 2 up to E..above example shows 6 coordinates so it means
LENGTH1 =
SQRT(power((X2-X1),2)+power((Y2-Y1),2));
LENGTH2=
SQRT(power((X3-X2),2)+power((Y3-Y2),2));
TOTAL LENGTH=LENGTH1 + LENGTH2
thanks

its my first time to use that.There's got to be a first tiem for anything. Be brave.
btw if theres more easy suggestion pls feel free..Well of course the easiest solution would be if the calling program passed in the parameters as separate arguments instead of glomming them together in a string that has to be parsed. This sort of kluj really ought not to have survived into C21.

Using pl/sql function for each day between two dates.

Hi,
create TABLE EMP(
ID_EMP NUMBER,
DT_FROM DATE,
DT_TO DATE,
CREATE_DATE DATE);
into EMP(ID_EMP, DT_FROM, DT_TO, CREATE_DATE)
Values(100, TO_DATE('07/01/2008 00:00:00', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), TO_DATE('04/30/2010 00:00:00', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),TO_DATE('05/08/2009 14:11:21', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'));
I have a function called elig_pay_dates(date p_date), which returns the code for person payment eligibility for a particular date. For paid dates it's 'P' and for unpaid dates it's 'N'.
How can I check this function between two dates for each day. Example : 07/01/2008 to 04/30/2010.
By using this function with select I needs to display the dates when there is a change in status.
I am expecting data in following manner from above logic(this is example):
07/01/2008 --- 07/01/2009 ---'P'
07/02/2009 -- 07/25/2009 ----'N'
07/26/2009 -- 01/01/2010 ---'P'
01/02/2010 -- 01/13/2010 --'N'
01/14/2010 -- 01/18/2010 --'P'
01/19/2010 -- 04/30/2010 -- 'N'
I thought of looping for each day date but that seems to be expensive for online application. Is there any way that I can achieve this requirement with sql query ?
Thanks for your help,

Certainly not the best way to code the requirement, but it does achieve the result you are looking for in a fairly quick time

       (p_date between to_date('01/19/2010', 'MM/DD/YYYY') and to_date('04/30/2010', 'MM/DD/YYYY') )

Still trying to find correct String Function for form search?

A user enters first 3 letters of a word on a search form- the
results need to include words which begin with them (e.g. "con"
returns "Conajoharie" - not case sensitive).
Using MS Access.
SELECT myword
FROM theDB
WHERE upper(substr(myword,1, 3) = <cfqueryparam
value="#ucase(form.keyword)#">
or
WHERE myword LIKE <cfqueryparam
value="#form.keyword#*"> don't work
or
WHERE myword LIKE '%#form.keyword#' don't work
no luck so far...
Any help appreciated.

For Access? Try....
SELECT myword
FROM theDB
WHERE LEFT(myword, 3) = <cfqueryparam
value="#Left(form.keyword, 3)#">
Edit: Added CF Left() function to limit the length of
form.keyword.

Cookie functions for Forms C/S ???

Hi,
cookies in the web world are very important
but can we also create a value transfer from / to
Forms C/S and Web Forms with setter and getter functions ?
Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Friedhold

Friedhold,
for Webforms, there exist a cookie sample in the Forms9i demos that allows to read and write cookies from/to teh client browser. For client/server you could use waht is suggested by Eugeniy, but I wouldn't suggest the registry for this because it seems to be a too sophisticated place to mess up with for exchanging messages.
