I am trying to execute a query in oracle forms but unable.I have to store the query result into a integer type variable.
The Sql is:
select REGISTRATIONID  from (select registrationid ,dense_rank() over(order by REGISTRATIONID asc) ranking from TBL_REGISTRATION where ADMITTED=0)where ranking=1;

For this I have tried it with oracle forms but i think over clause flash some problem in oracle forms. Plesae give me solution. thank you regards aaditya .

Answer 1

Yes you are correct Aaditya dense_rank not supported by forms.
Try this
SQL>
create view tbl_reg_vu as
select registrationid ,dense_rank() over(order by REGISTRATIONID asc) ranking
from TBL_REGISTRATION where ADMITTED=0
View created.
SQL> select * from tbl_reg;
REGISTRATIONID   RANKING
             9         1
            10         2
            10         2
            25         3
            47         4
           500         5
6 rows selected.
In your forms change the statement as follows,
select REGISTRATIONID into REG from tbl_reg_vu where ranking=1;
I hope this will help you.
