Error while calling the function which returns SQL Query!!!

Hi,
I have a Function which returns SQL query. I am calling this function in my APEX report region source.
The query is dynamic SQL and its size varies based on the dynamic "where clause" condition.
But I am not able to execute this function.It gives me the following error in APEX region source.
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
Even in SQL* Plus or SQL developer also same error .
The length of my query is more than 4000. I tried changing the variable size which holds my query in the function.
Earlier it was
l_query varchar2(4000)
Now I changed to
l_query varchar2(32767).
Still it is throwing the same error.
Can anybody help me to resolve this.???
Thanks
Alaka

Hi Varad,
I am already using 32k of varchar2. Then also it is not working.
It is giving the same error. I think there is something to do with buffer size.
My query size is not more than 4200. Even if i give 32k of varchar2 also buffer is able to hold only 3997 size of the query only.
Error is
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
Tried CLOB also. It is not working.
Any other solution for this.
Thanks
Alaka

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.

Error while calling a function.

Hi,
below is my callable statement through which am calling a function which returns the service years of a person with personid as parameter.
But dont know why am getting an error which is returning the serviceyrs as 0.
when i try to debug, the problem is in this statement
System.out.println("the output1 is "+cs.getInt(1));
is there any problem with my code.
please look the code below
thanks

Hi, Guess u are missing the connection to the JDBC call.
Try the following...it worked for me..
Connection conn = this.getOADBTransaction().getJdbcConnection();
OracleCallableStatement ocs = null;

 ocs.setString(2, <param>);
 ocs.execute();

Error in report when executing pl/sql function body returning sql query.

Hi,
I have used the pl/sql function body returning sql query for creating a report. I have created a datepicker(
P10_TASK_DATE) which can be submitted.The code is as below
DECLARE
v_sql varchar2(3000);
BEGIN
if :P10_TASK_DATE is not null THEN
v_sql:='select
* from tasks';
return v_sql;
else
v_sql:='select * from discovery';
return v_sql;
END IF;
END;if the date field is empty "select * from discovery" is executed and report is getting generated. But when we give a
date using date picker the page is submitted and i get "report error: ORA-01403: no data found" even
though the "tasks" table has data in it. Plz help
Thanks,
TJ

hi
Please try this
1. Create 2 region
1st region source=
select * from tasks'
go to the tab -> condition =
item NOT NULL
EXpression1 =:P10_TASK_DATE
this will run whenever the item have any date
2. open your 2 nd region source code= select * from discovery
put the condition
item is NULL
EXpression1 =:P10_TASK_DATE
thanks

Error while activating the function module

hi,
am getting error while activating the function module i.e. program or report statement is missing.
thank you in advance
karthik

hii vinu,
hi there....
make sure that the Processing type in Attributes tab is 'Normal function module'. Also chk the general data, it must be having some name in the Program Name and include name column.try checking the program names in se38, if the program is of type include or not. you can also chk by writting a program call the function module and test it
I hope this will solve the query. in my case, SAPLZ123 is the program name and LZ123U28 is the include name.
or
Its common prob with Function module.
Goto SE80->Give Function group name->Right click on it->Activate.

Error while calling the EAI Viewer

Dear all,
I am working on Document Management System ECC 6.00
I am able to upload a PDF document in to the system, but when i save it and try to call the document back it is giving me the folllowing error."Error while calling the EAI Viewer" But when i try to open the same in the next PC it is opening. the work station application which i have defined is EAIWeb.webviewer2D.1 %SAP-CONTROL% for the application .pdf.
Kindly suggest what will be the problem as it is not opening in my PC but opening in an different PC with the same user name.
Kindly suggest.

Hi Kishuz ,
ECL Viewer comes with SAP
It is Engineering client viewer, which works for files like *.jt(jupiter technology), *.pdf(acrobat), *.dwg(autocad), *.step, *.iges
with ECL viewer you can view files like dwg without having Autocad Installed on your machine.
Alos it gives redlining feature...
thus layers help in indicating the modifications needed or commenting on the drawings...
Now the procedure for installation,
1. Install the latest SUN JAVA version. The path could be c:\program files\java\
2. While installing SAP GUI, ensure that the ECL component is not selected from R/3 Add On.
4. Install ECL Viewer 5.1.2 on local machine.
5. Ensure the path is as follows :(C:\Program Files\Common Files\SAP Shared\System or C:\Program Files\Common Files\SAP Shared\System\Java )
6. Ensure that the following files are in the c:\program files\java\1.5.0_08\lib\ext
folder:
- VisWebS.jar,
- VisWeb.jar,
- eaisupport.jar,
- eaisupportS.jar
- version.ini
- vctk.ini
In case, please copy the mentioned files from <ECL Install DIR>\java.
(C:\Program Files\Common Files\SAP Shared\System or
C:\Program Files\Common Files\SAP Shared\System\Java )
Reward points if useful...

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.

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

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
UTMB/EHN

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.

Region source (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)

Hi, guys.
Here is what i try to do:
Create a region of type SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query). In the source area i tried to put this:
DECLARE
v_new VARCHAR2(10);
v_SQL varchar2(32000);
BEGIN
v_new := :P102_HDN_NEW;
-- htp.p(v_new);
IF v_new = 'N-Set' THEN
v_SQL := 'select ' ||
ELSIF v_new = 'Y-Set' THEN
v_SQL := 'select ' ||
END IF;
RETURN v_SQL;
END;
And here is the reply from APEX:
1 error has occurred
Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the ''generic columns'' checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing. The query can not be parsed, the cursor is not yet open or a function returning a SQL query returned without a value.
Now.
1. Variable is set with the right value.
2. Each statement (separately) returns SQL that works with no problems
3. Problem occures if i try to put IF statement around the SQL creation.
4. If i select "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)" instead of "Use Query-Specific Column Names and Validate Query" then the script returns SQL properly, however report's column names are set to Col1, Col2,Col3 ......
Thnks in advence

Query on Reoprts-pl/sql function body returning sql query

Hi,
I am facing a starnge problem.. and would like to know the reason for it.
The situation is as follows:
I have a report (pl/sql function body returning sql query based). My query is as follows:
declare
l_query1 varchar2(2000);
begin
if (:P102_min_value is not null and :P102_max_value is null) then
l_query1 := 'select decode(:P102_date,'1',date1) Transaction_Date, decode(:P102_first_name,'2',first_name) First_Name from (
select * from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where APPRX_LOAN_AMOUNT >=:P102_min_value
return (l_query1);
end if;
end;
This returns the error as :
1 error has occurred
Function returning SQL query: Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the generic columns checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing.
(ORA-06550: line 7, column 20: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "1" when expecting one of the following: * & = - + ; < / > at in is mod remainder not rem <> or != or ~= >= <= <> and or like LIKE2_ LIKE4_ LIKEC_ between || multiset member SUBMULTISET_)
How do i correct this? am i right in thinking that the single quotes indicating a string within a select query is creating the problem? Beacuse if i use an sql query report and use the following query, it is working fine...
select
decode(:P102_date,'1',date1) Transaction_Date,
decode(:P102_first_name,'2',first_name) First_Name
from (
select * from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where APPRX_LOAN_AMOUNT >=:P102_min_value
But i need to write pl/sql function, so that multiple report can be returned based on different conditions. Please guide me.
Thanks,
Sumana

Does that mean that both in if and else we need to have same columns selected?
if thats the case.. any idea how i can implement it in my code. The situation here is that the columns that need to be selected are dynamic and keep on changing...
if i try to implement like this and run the page, it gives the following error:
Query is:
declare
l_query1 varchar2(4000);
begin
if apex_application.get_current_flow_sgid(:APP_ID) = apex_application.get_sgid then
if (:P102_min_value is not null and :P102_max_value is null) then
l_query1 := 'select decode(' || :P102_date|| ',''1'',date1) Transaction_Date, decode(' || :P102_first_name || ',''2'',first_name) First_Name from (
select * from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where APPRX_LOAN_AMOUNT >=' || :P102_min_value ||'
elsif (:P102_min_value is null and :P102_max_value is not null) then
l_query1 := 'select decode(' || :P102_date|| ',''1'',date1) Transaction_Date, decode(' || :P102_first_name || ',''2'',first_name) First_Name from (
select * from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where APPRX_LOAN_AMOUNT >=' || :P102_max_value ||'
else
l_query1 := 'select date1,first_name from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where rownum = 1';
end if;
else
l_query1 := 'select date1,first_name from MORTGAGE_LOAN_LEADS where rownum = 1';
end if;
return l_query1;
--dbms_output.put_line( l_query1);
end;
The Error is:
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00936: missing expression
If i try to run the same in command prompt, it always goes to the else part... (else of outer if)

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.

Pl/sql function body returning SQL query - Print function

Hello all,
I have pl/sql function body returning SQL query for my reports for my new project that I am developing. We dont have any BI tool or anything for APEX so we use Oracle reports to get the same reports to be printed in PDF format. I had been using SQL function for Reports all these days and grabbing the data using SQL query was easy in Oracle reports. But this time we had atleast 8 fields in search criteria and hence I thouhgt PL/sql function body returning SQL query could be something easy to handle that scenario. We have 11 such reports in our project. Now when we tried to use the same PL/sql function to oracle reports , I was told by one of our Oracle reports expert, that we have to write it into functions and use it in SQL query to get the Reports in Oracle reports. Is there any Easy way to convert the same Pl/SQL function or get a PDF format of the same report in APEX without going thru the much pains of rewriting the whole SQL Query.
thank you
