Executing a column which has a sql query in a tabular form

Hi,
I have a tabular form which contains a column named as SQL which has sql statements in it. Without going to the SQL workshop in Apex i want to execute that query in the tabular form itself. For that i've created a page item which fetches the particular rows sql query and created a button 'EXECUTE'. When i click the execute button it should run the query and should display whether the query is correct or not and should show the error message.
Can any one provide solution for this or whether there are any other ways to achive this scenario.
With Regards

I have a tabular form which contains a column named as SQLBad idea. <tt>SQL</tt> is a PL/SQL reserved word. Using any token from Oracle namespaces as a database identifier is confusing/problematic.
which has sql statements in it.Why? Where does this SQL come from? What is the source of the tabular form?
Without going to the SQL workshop in Apex i want to execute that query in the tabular form itself.Explain the "execute that query in the tabular form itself" concept. Where do the results go?

Resolve column names in a sql Query

Hi Folks,
     I’m upgrading an application and there are database columns that have major changes that could affect production reports. I would like to survey v$SQL for a few days to see if these columns are affected. Here’s the problem.
Looking at a SQL query to determine which columns are used is not nearly as easy as it sounds. Are there any oracle functions or 3rd party tools that can be used to list the columns used by a sql query? (this gets extremely tricky when subqueries become involved)
For instance.
select
name, b.dep_id, employee_id
From emp a
Inner join v_department b on a.dep_id=b.dep_id
Columns used:+
Emp.name+
Departments.dep_id (under the view)+
Emp.employee_id+
Emp.dep_id (from the join)+

If you're on > 10g, you can use dbms_xplan with "all" option.
It shows "column projection information" which is exactly what you want.

How to find out the columns which has 16 digit credit card number

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in i need to find out the columns which has 16 digit credit number in it and create a report with owner, table name and column name.
The issue is that the credit card number can be entered in any columns of any table of any schema. For example the credit card number can be entered in any description field(eg: The number is 4001412134642881), in that case i need to filter only the numbers and do the LUHN check to validate the credit card number.
Please provide me a suggestion on how to scanl the values of all the columns to know the column which has credit card number.
Regards,
Raj.

Tell me this - how the hell do you have a database with credit card number data and NOT know which columns of which tables contain credit card numbers? (and how on earth is this data NOT encrypted!?)
How is what you want to do, NOT a fishing expedition to hack a database that may or may not be storing credit card details?
And do you honestly think that we should simply trust that once you have extracted these numbers, performed a Luhn algorithm to verify these as credit card numbers, you are not going to fraudulently use these credit card numbers!?
I have marked your posting as an attempt to hack an Oracle database for fraudulent use of credit card data. I hope that your OTN account is terminated soon and trust that your too much of a coding idiot to actually succeed in this endevour.

How to update a column which has 35 millions of rows?

Hi everyone
need help
I am updating a column which has 35 millions of records. When i start update, it is taking like > 60 mins and its not stoping (finishing).
I need to null that column A, and update that column A with the other column B values.
Thanks
kumar

Three common causes for big updates that are slow:
blocking. You can check whether the UPDATE is waiting on another connection to release locks using sp_who2
improperly sized log file. A big update may use of a lot of log space. If you log file is too small, and you have auto-grow enabled (which is the default setting), it will grow whenever needed. But this takes a lot of extra time. You can easily see this
when you view the file size of the log file
if the column you are updating is indexed, the engine may also you tempdb a lot, so tempdb may also grow a lot, which would take a lot of additional time. This is also easy to check by inspecting tempdb's file size

Changing Column Value Style using SQL Query

Hi,
I'm trying to build a fantasy basketball game with APEX. I have a table that has a list of games. I need to change the color of the column value i.e. the name of the team that wins according to a SQL query Here's an example:
TABLE NAME: LATESTGAMES
Home Away Homepoints Awaypoints
Boston Cleveland 105 101
Toronto Washington 122 83
What I want to do is display the winning team i.e. Boston and Toronto in Green since that's the team that won.
The SQL query is:
SELECT HOME,
AWAY,
HOMEPOINTS,
AWAYPOINTS
from LATESTGAMES;
What do I need to do in order to display the Winning Team as Green on every column? Please Help

Hello Devilfish,
I did something like that in my DG Tournament application (http://www.dgtournament.com)
Your SQL query can look like this:
SELECT CASE
          WHEN (homepoints > awaypoints)
             THEN '<span style="color:green;">' || home || '</span>'
          ELSE home
       END AS home,
SELECT CASE
          WHEN (awaypoints > homepoints)
             THEN '<span style="color:green;">' || away|| '</span>'
          ELSE away
       END AS away,
HOMEPOINTS,
AWAYPOINTS
from LATESTGAMES;Hope that gives you an idea,
Dimitri

Report Column Headings based on SQL Query

Hi ,
I am working on creating a SQL query based report. However, my column headers for this report are stored in a table and hence, I need the column headers to be based on a sql query also.
Can you give me some pointers on how to do this ?
Thanks!
Lavanya

Lavanya,
The report column attributes page has a radiogroup of column heading types. One lets you specify a PL/SQL function that returns the headings.

Set the column length in an sql query

Hi,
Is there a way to set the column length in a query without using sqlplus commands like row size and format column.
I'd like to do it just from the sql query itself.

How to re-execute a job which has failed

hi everyone,
i am executing a job ....it executed for few minutes and hav been able to load few records in the final table(target)....some exception is thrown up and job failed after that....i want to re-execute the job with only the records that are not processed...how to identify which records are processed?
is there any process to do so in BO DI?

Hi Suneel
You can use several methods to ensure that you do not insert duplicate rows:
u2022 Design the data flow to completely replace the target table during each
execution
This technique can be optimal when the changes to the target table are
numerous compared to the size of the table. You can use tuning
techniques such as bulk loading options to improve overall performance.
u2022 Set the auto correct load option for the target table
The auto correct load option checks the target table for existing rows
before adding new rows to the table. Using the auto correct load option,
however, can needlessly slow jobs executed in non-recovery mode.
Consider this technique when the target table is large and the changes
to the table are relatively few.
u2022 Include a SQL command to execute before the table loads
Preload SQL commands can remove partial database updates that occur
during incomplete execution of a step in a job. Typically, the preload SQL
command deletes rows based on a variable that is set before the partial
insertion step began.

I got so frustrated I started over. I'm following the how to create a manual form.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/tabular_form.html#MANUAL
The problem I'm now having is even though I display items as hidden, there is a column holder on the report for them. If I go into the report attributes and toggle the show attribute off I cannot reference an items value in my logic. I used /&nbsp/ for the column heading but I still get the little sort arrow where the column heading should be. I tried to toggle the sort attribute off but the sort arrow still shows up. How can I use the apex_item.hidden and not get a place holder for the column on a report? Thanks, Elizabeth
Here is the code I'm using to generate the report:
select x.ceah_people_lang_id,
x.language_id,

Column Link is not working on a Manual Tabular Form

Hello,
I am having some issues creating a link on a column based on a manual tabular form (I am using Apex 4.1.1.00.27, Oracle DB 10.2.0.5.0):
On my page 1, I created a process that deletes and creates a collection based on the “emp” table; then, I have a manual tabular form based on that collection; and finally, a link on the “deptno” column of the manual tabular form that points to my Page 2 (department form) and it’s passing the parameter P2_DEPTNO:#DEPTNO#.
The problem is that when I press the link, the page is not submitting the DEPTNO value. Also, I notice that as soon as I specify the column as a link column, it does not show the value in my tabular form, but if I remove the link, it shows the value correctly.
I created an example on apex.oracle.com in case some of you want to look into it:
Workspace: EDIAZJORGE
Username: test
Password: test123
App Name: Sample App
App Number: 12231
I appreciate any ideas or suggestions on how to solve this issue.

Query button on Tabular form?

The standard buttons are Cancel/Delete/Submit/Add Row.
If I want a form to be used for queries as well, how can it be done? ie similar to the Query function on a Form on a Table with Report where you can query the rows you want, and then do updates.

Hello Zahid,
I don't know if this is causing your problem, but there is a javascript error on your page:
region is null
hideColumn("#REGION_ID#", 3)f?p=9396...5351::::: (line 22)
(?)()f?p=9396...5351::::: (line 170)
var report = region.getElementsByTagName("TABLE")[1];And if I click on the radio I get another error:
missing ) after argument list
[Break on this error] javascript:updateItem('f03, 1, 'N');And when I fix that ... it works...

Error in executing a layout which has a hierarchy in lead column

Hi Experts,
I have used a planning level where a characteristic called 'reporting code' is restricted with a hierarchy.
Now when I am trying to execute a layout under this level I am getting some error. The characteristic is used in the lead column in this layout.Two differene type of error I am getting in following two different cases.
1. When I am using the hierarchical settings for the lead column then I am getting the error 'Hierarchy INPUT is not suited to the planning mode.
2. When I am not using the hierarchical settings for the lead column then I am getting the error 'Too many characteristic combinations for manual planning'.
If I reduce the no of nodes in the hierarchy for testing then none of this error is coming. So I think this is related to the volume of the hierarchy.
Can anybody put some light on this why this error is coming and how to resolve this error?
Regards,
Saikat Datta Gupta.

In case of text hierarchies, wherein we can plan only on leaves, for the layout to be displayed in a hierarichal manner, we need the following settings.
In the first screen of the layout builder, next to the layout description, click on the hierarchy icon, choose non-hierarchical data model and in the additional settings, all possible char combinations.
In the last screen of the layout builder, in lead column settings, check display totals as hierarchy.
With the above settings, layout shows the result in hierarchy mode.
In BPS layout, the no of rows will be limited. As you have given all possible combinations, system tries to display the entire hierarchy, i think which is exceeding the max limit. Try reducing the hierarchy size or keep the additional settings as "Transaction data" and check if the problem persists.

How can I display multiple column results of a sql query?

I'm wanting to display the results of a query selecting from multiple columns, but I can't seem to find an item type that will allow this. I've tried LOV, multiselect, display as text and others. Any ideas on how to do this. Here is my basic query:
Select ul.meaning,
rqa.submission_date,
rqa.location_num
from
cfa_rqa_doc_submit_dates rqa,
cfa_user_lookups ul
where
rqa.location_num in (Select location_num from cfa_current_locations_mv
where operator_person_id = :P1_PERSON_ID and substr(location_num,1,1) = '8')
and
ul.lookup_type_id='1269'
and
to_char(rqa.submission_date, 'month') = to_char(sysdate, 'month')
and
rqa.submission_date >= (SYSDATE-365)
and ul.lookup_ID= rqa.document_type_id
;

Hi,
Do you just wish to display the result of the query? If so, you can simply parse it out in HTML.
You can then choose if you want to use tables or css.
Multiple column layout in tables are based on <tr> and <td>.
<tr> is a table row, where <td> is a column.
All tags should be closed.
Example:
<table>
<tr>
<td>col1</td><td>col2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">spans over 2 cols</td>
</tr>
</table>If you want to do the same in css:
(Seems this forum removes the styles!):
float:left; width:50; << first div and 2 div (col 1 and col 2 style)
float:left;clear:both; width:100%; << clear both, double width (spans over 2)
<div>
<div style="float:left; width:50;">col1</div><div style="float:left;width:50%;">col2</div>
<div style="float:left;clear:both; width=100%;">Spans over 2 cols</div>
</div>The div might look more complicated, but if you refrain from styling in the tags them selves, you can define different styles in the .css file.
You need the clear:both to start a new line with the divs that float.
I usually run a dedicated "new line" div, without content.. (exception beeing the html-entities version of ' ' (& nbsp ; << without the spaces)).
eg.:
<div style="cls"> </div>Parsing out the values from the PL SQL you do like so:
begin
declare
cursor c_search is
Select ul.meaning,
rqa.submission_date,
rqa.location_num
from
cfa_rqa_doc_submit_dates rqa,
cfa_user_lookups ul
where
rqa.location_num in (Select location_num from cfa_current_locations_mv
where operator_person_id = :P1_PERSON_ID and substr(location_num,1,1) = '8')
and
ul.lookup_type_id='1269'
and
to_char(rqa.submission_date, 'month') = to_char(sysdate, 'month')
and
rqa.submission_date >= (SYSDATE-365)
and ul.lookup_ID= rqa.document_type_id
begin
htp.p('<div style="width:80%;">');
for v_search in c_search loop
htp.p('<div style="float:left;clear:none;">'||v_search.location_num||'</div>');
htp.p('<div style="float:left;clear:none;">'||v_search.submission_date||'</div>');
end loop;
htp.p('</div>');
end;
end;Ps. hope I understood you correctly, also this code is untested.. but I hope it can still help.
