Groupings - Form on a table or view

Hi
I have a view eg. field_a, field_b, field_c, field_d, field_e, field_f.
I have selected all these columns when creating a page (Form on a table or view).
However I would only be displaying field_d, field_e, field_f. I have selected field_a,field_b and field_c as I require these fields so that I can use them to join to a previous page which is an interactive report. I now need to group by field_a, field_b, field_c.
Is this possible?

Hello,
You should solve it in your view. Define the GROUP BY in there. Of course you can't update the values in the Forms when using a GROUP by function...

Cancel button on form of type form on a table or view

I am a newbie for apex. I am using 10g. I have created form on table emp(empno , name , salary ) . Form is of type Form on a Table or View.
Cancel & Save(Apply changes) button are not working at all. so I copied process reset page and execute on condition save button click. But still cancel button is not working. applcation has some other forms of type Form with a Report and are working properly. I have wasted 2 days on this problem.

Hi,
You can do that. If you have the branch to in the same form what you have to do use clear cache for that page. Click on the edit page, click on the cancel button in the left button section. scroll down to bottom and type the page 32 in the Clear cache field. However it is better to have branch to the report page (different page from the form).
Hope this will help.

How to create a form or report on a view or on a sql for update

Let's suppose to have this two tables:
BOOKS(title, author, id_tongue)
TONGUE(id_tongue, tongue)
where TONGUE contains (1, english), (2, french), ...
I want to create a report and a form (for inserting new books) so as to insert the right values in the two tables.
I've created a view VIEW_BOOKS(title, author, tongue) and an instead-of-trigger to update the two tables when inserting into the view itself. The problem is that with APEX it seems to me it's only possible to define a form or report on tables or on query and not on a view.
Any advice to give me? Or other solutions?
I'm quite new on APEX
Thanks in advance!

You are mistaken!! what version of apex are you on?

since it is concurrent request the data will not be stored in any table or view. when we fill in that form it will submit a request to the concurrent manager and gives us the request id you can check for the table with the help of concurrent program. take name of that program query in the conc progarm form you will get the executable name with the help of that you can find the table name.go to the respective top and there you can find the script in that the table name

How to create a form based on table@databaselink

I have created a database link under OracleXe to access an Oracle 9i and it works very well. I can manually access the tables that I like to see. Want to experiment to create a form under HTMLDB based on a table from another database that I have created DataLink to. When I go choose Create Application in HMTLDB and then select Form from page type under table or view I tried to do this tablename@databaselink but it seems it can not find the table this way. Any idea how to do this?
Thanks

Mike,
As I am trying to test and learn more about htmldb I was trying to get some data from oracle 9i to oracleXe, create some forms, reports and etc. At first I tried to use views and forgot to add the primary key, got the error so I posted the message on the board.
Then I did try out the long way creating tables with package and procedure and some other fun stuff to create an application which by the way it worked very well. Then I created some users and changed some password. When I tried again to run the application I start getting invalid login credentials. After many attempts finally I went home, as I was driving home I thought about something and at home I tried it.
I did some testing and noticed if I create a user under admin say userA+passwordA then login with userA+passwordA, create a table and then create an app base on that table and then run the app, with userA+passwordA I can login and app works perfectly. Then I logged out and as admin logged in, changed the userA password to passwordB. I logged out and logged in with userA+passwordB and then when I tried to run the app I get the invalid login credentials, when I change the passwordB to passwordA the app will works again. This is suppose to be this way!
Again thanks to all

How to insert data from APEX form into two tables

Hi,
I'm running APEX 4.1 with Oracle XE 11g, having two tables CERTIFICATES and USER_FILES. Some of the (useless) fields are cut to reduce information:
CREATE TABLE CERTIFICATES
CERT_ID NUMBER NOT NULL ,
CERT_OWNER NUMBER NOT NULL ,
CERT_VENDOR NUMBER NOT NULL ,
CERT_NAME VARCHAR2 (128) ,
CERT_FILE NUMBER NOT NULL ,
) TABLESPACE CP_DATA
LOGGING;
ALTER TABLE CERTIFICATES
ADD CONSTRAINT CERTIFICATES_PK PRIMARY KEY ( CERT_ID ) ;
CREATE TABLE USER_FILES
FILE_ID NUMBER NOT NULL ,
FILENAME VARCHAR2 (128) ,
BLOB_CONTENT BLOB ,
MIMETYPE VARCHAR2 (32) ,
LAST_UPDATE_DATE DATE
) TABLESPACE CP_FILES
LOGGING
LOB ( BLOB_CONTENT ) STORE AS SECUREFILE
TABLESPACE CP_FILES
STORAGE (
PCTINCREASE 0
MINEXTENTS 1
MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED
FREELISTS 1
BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT
RETENTION
ENABLE STORAGE IN ROW
NOCACHE
ALTER TABLE USER_FILES
ADD CONSTRAINT CERT_FILES_PK PRIMARY KEY ( FILE_ID ) ;
ALTER TABLE CERTIFICATES
ADD CONSTRAINT CERTIFICATES_USER_FILES_FK FOREIGN KEY
CERT_FILE
REFERENCES USER_FILES
FILE_ID
NOT DEFERRABLE
What I'm trying to do is to allow users to fill out all the certificate data and upload a file in an APEX form. Once submitted the file should be uploaded in the USER_FILES table and all the fields along with CERT_ID, which is the foreign key pointing to the file in the USER_FILES table to be populated to the CERTIFICATES table. APEX wizard forms are based on one table and I'm unable to build form on both tables.
That's why I've created a view (V_CERT_FILES) on both tables and using INSTEAD OF trigger to insert/update both tables. I've done this before and updating this kind of views works perfect. Here is where the problem comes, if I'm updating the view all the data is updated correctly, but if I'm inserting into the view all the fields are populated at CERTIFICATES table, but for USER_FILES only the fields FILE_ID and LAST_UPDATE_DATE are populated. The rest three regarding the LOB are missing: BLOB_CONTENT, FILENAME, MIMETYPE. There are no errors when running this from APEX, but If I try to insert into the view from SQLDeveloper, I got this error:
ORA-22816: unsupported feature with RETURNING clause
ORA-06512: at line 1
As far as I know RETURNING clause in not supported in INSTEAD of triggers, although I didn't have any RETURNING clauses in my trigger (body is below).
Now the interesting stuff, after long tracing I found why this is happening:
First, insert is executed and the BLOB along with all its properties are uploaded to wwv_flow_file_objects$.
Then the following insert is executed to populate all the fields except the BLOB and it's properties, rowid is RETURNED, but as we know RETURNING clause is not supported in INSTEAD OF triggers, that's why I got error:
PARSE ERROR #1918608720:len=266 dep=3 uid=48 oct=2 lid=48 tim=1324569863593494 err=22816
INSERT INTO "SVE". "V_CERT_FILES" ( "CERT_ID", "CERT_OWNER", "CERT_VENDOR", "CERT_NAME", "BLOB_CONTENT") VALUES (:B1 ,:B2 ,:B3 ,:B4, ,EMPTY_BLOB()) RETURNING ROWID INTO :O0
CLOSE #1918608720:c=0,e=11,dep=3,type=0,tim=1324569863593909
EXEC #1820672032:c=3000,e=3168,p=0,cr=2,cu=4,mis=0,r=0,dep=2,og=1,plh=0,tim=1324569863593969
ERROR #43:err=22816 tim=1324569863593993
CLOSE #1820672032:c=0,e=43,dep=2,type=1,tim=1324569863594167
Next my trigger gets in action, sequences are generated, CERTIFICATES table is populated and then USER_FILES, but only the FILE_ID and LAST_UPDATE_DATE.
Finally update is fired against my view (V_CERT_FILES), reading data from wwv_flow_files it populates BLOB_CONTENT, MIMETYPE and FILENAME fields at the specific rowid in V_CERT_FILES, the one returned from the insert at the beginning. Last, file is deleted from wwv_flow_files.
I'm using sequences for the primary keys, this is only the body of the INSTEAD OF trigger:
select user_files_seq.nextval into l_file_id from dual;
select certificates_seq.nextval into l_cert_id from dual;
insert into user_files (file_id, filename, blob_content, mimetype, last_update_date) values (l_file_id, :n.filename, :n.blob_content, :n.mimetype, sysdate);
insert into certificates (cert_id, cert_owner, cert_vendor, cert_name, cert_file) values (l_cert_id, :n.cert_owner, :n.cert_vendor, :n.cert_name, l_file_id);
I'm surprised that I wasn't able to find a valuable source of information regarding this problem, only MOS note about running SQLoader against view with CLOB column and INSTEAD OF trigger. The solution would be to ran it against base table, MOS ID 795956.1.
Maybe I'm missing something and that's why I decided to share my problem here. So my question is how do you create this kind of architecture, insert into two tables with a relation between them in APEX ? I read a lot in the Internet, some advices were for creating custom form with APEX API, create a custom ARP, create two ARP or create a PL/SQL procedure for handing the DML?
Thanks in advance.

Sve

Thank you however I was wondering if there was an example available which uses EJB and persistence.

How to build a form with multiple tables in oracle application express

Hi everyone,
I have got problem in building a form with multiple tables.I have a main table with (20) columns and this main table is related to the other tables with the primary key-foreign key relation ship.My requirement is i have to build a form which has fields from many tables and all the fields are related to the main table using (ID) column.In that form if i enter ID field i have to get information from differnt tables.
Please help me to solve this (building a form with mutiple tables)
Thank you
sans

Sans,
I am no Apex expert, but with a situation as "complex" as yours, have you thought about creating a VIEW that joins these 7/8 tables, placing an INSTEAD OF trigger on that view to do all the business logic in the database, and base your application on the view?
This is the "thick-database" approach that has been gaining momentum of late. The idea is to put your business logic in the database wherever possible, and let the application (Form, Apex, J2EE, whatever) concentrate on UI issues,

Table or View for Datablock

Hi,
I Have a Datablock which has Many Items...When I Open a Datablock Wizard ...The table is FND_DUAL. How i can know on which table or view the Datablock depends.
The Name of the form is ARXSUPST.fmb
I need to add a Collector Name Column in the Form..so that it retrieves all the Transaction for that collector.
The Datablock name is SUPST_BLK and Canvas is SUPST_CONT
Thanks
Pra...

for that you need to download the form from oracle apps n you will have to check the properties at BLOCK Level.
Hope this answers your question

Table or view not exists error from procedure - occurs randomly

I have a procedure used in a website, it works fine until recently we occationaly getting an error said Table or View not exists, the error will go away if refresh the page which will re-execute the procedure.
This procedure uses an table object as temp table and just a select statement form several tables. The table object is used in other procedures as well. I can't find out what cause this error because it's not always repeatable and the error message didn't give out the exact table that cause the error.
Any idea what might cause this or how to trace the reason that cause the error?
We don't have a good DBA here so really need some help, any advice are welcome.
Cheers

I don't think it's possible that any previlege changes are made or the tables in used in the procedure are droped because after we run our db scripts to build the db, then we testing the website which can only execute procedures, and no procedures execute DDL script to make such changes.
It's worth to mention that we have a Table Type called EntityIDTable() which is used in many of our other procedures, but I think table type is initialise as local variable in each procedure so shouldn't conflict to each other, am I right? Also, the same script are running several times a day to generate same db but with different schema names so we can test on different site templates. One change script did drop one of the table and recreate it, but it use the &DB_Schema_Name.Tablename to drop a table so shouldn't affect the table in other schema I think. (I enclosed the procedure below)
Also, any event log in Oracle I can enabled and trace the problem to find out what table is not exists at that point that this problem occurs?
Cheers

RFC returning PDF form in Binary table

Hello,
In our earlier application we were using a RFC to return PDF form as a table of binary fields and then these fields were concatenated and .pdf extension addded at the end. This will then display correctly in browser as a pdf form. Typically, this returns about 30000+ lines of binary for one form.
Now we are migrating this application to Portal and I'm trying to display all this information through Adobe Interactive form. We do not currently have any other RFC to return all data that is part of the existing PDF document returned by current RFC. Getting all that data through one RFC is a tedious and time consuming task that we want to avoid. Is there a way to use the binary table returned by existing application and convert it to a pdf form? I was thinking of using the 'pdfsource' property of Interactive form - but am not sure about the possibilities.
Can anyone help with some pointers?
Thanks,
Vishwas.

I'm using following code to concatenate the binary string and then to display the PDF file.
Concatenation was being done in earlier application and there is no code available for reference. I've tried following code, it opens the Adobe PDF viewer but it always shows error "File does not start with %PDF-". Please let me know if the code below is correct or is there something I need to do differently.
public void wdDoInit()
    //@@begin wdDoInit()
IWDMessageManager manager = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
//Populate data for RFC
wdContext.currentZ_Sd_Get_Output_Pdf_Verify_InputElement().setKappl("V1");
wdContext.currentZ_Sd_Get_Output_Pdf_Verify_InputElement().setKschl("ZA00");
wdContext.currentZ_Sd_Get_Output_Pdf_Verify_InputElement().setKunag("0001000021");
wdContext.currentZ_Sd_Get_Output_Pdf_Verify_InputElement().setKunwe("0001000023");
wdContext.currentZ_Sd_Get_Output_Pdf_Verify_InputElement().setVbeln("0000018261");
//Call RFC
wdThis.wdGetPDF_from_Binary_compController().executeZ_Sd_Get_Output_Pdf_Verify_Input();
int num = wdContext.nodePdf4().size();
//Initial string
String s = "";
for(int n=0;n<num;n){
//Concatenate binary data in string with Radix 2
BigInteger bi = new BigInteger(wdContext.nodePdf4().getPdf4ElementAt(n).getData());
s= bi.toString(2);+
   manager.reportSuccess(s);
// Display pdf
    IWDResource resource = WDResourceFactory.createCachedResource(s.getBytes(), "file.pdf", WDWebResourceType.PDF);
    IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(resource.getUrl(0),"file.pdf");
    window.show();
   //@@end
It opens the Adobe PDF viewer but gives error "file does not start with %PDF-".
What is it that I'm not doing correctly here?
Thanks,
Vishwas.
The data being returned from RFC is in RAW format. Is it same as Binary?

Form on a Table with Report, 2 Pages

I have a view and i am using this to create a page as follows for insert/update/delete .
(1) create application from scratch
(2) on page 1 using wizard choice "Form on a Table with Report, 2 Pages"
(3) Follows the screens and create the 2 page where first page is a report and when i click on edit(in my case) it goes to next page for insert/update/delete.Everything like insert/update/delete works fine .
Now this view has say three columns
(1) element_type_id
(2) element_name
(3) yesnoflag
changing element_name and yesnoflag column is ok but then i need to have element_type_id corresponding to the element_name from some other table.
Question1
How should i get the element_type_id corresponding to the element_name .so when i create a new record it goes to page 2 and i can provide LOV for element_name and enter into yesnoflag, how can i get the element_type_id populated corresponding to the element_name entered.
Question2
Also in my application i have name element_type_id as primary key .I am not sure if thats a good idea or should i make element_name as primary key ?
please help.
Thanks,
Sachin

hey rui--
by "adjust your html", i simply meant that you should look at your page, think about the html that's being used, and adjust it as necessary to make your data wrap as desired. now that i'm pretty sure i understand your issue, i can tell you the adjustment. you're saying that your form shows your long column "correctly" with data broken up onto separate lines by carriage returns or linefeeds. when you display that same data in your report, those carriage returns ( chr(13) ) and/or linefeeds ( chr(10) ) aren't observed. that's because they don't mean much in regular html. two ways to approach this would be:
a) replace your carriage returns with explicit <br> tags to get the breaks that you want...
select test_id, replace(test_description,chr(13)) test_desc from my_table;
b) wrap your column with <pre> tags to preserve all the original formatting of your data...
select test_id, '<pre>'||test_description||'</pre>' test_desc from my_table;
...and you could, of course, do option B in your report row template if you'd like.
hope this helps,
raj

Refresh table-form query on table only

Hello,
I have a group being generated as a table-form layout. What I would like is for the table page to be refreshed always on entry. I can't set the group requery condition to always, or "when entering the page" as then the view object is executed going navigating from the table page to the form page. This seems a very simple requirement to me but Im struggling to come up with an elegant solution.
Basically what i need is the refreshCondition on the invokeAction binding executable to be "Always and layout=table".
Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Cheers,
Brent

How do you do this, if your current page is a .jsff and not a .jspx? When I look at the refreshCondition, a .jsff does not have access to the facesContext.
Thanks,
Michelle
Since this question was already answered, I created a new thread:

Form on a table with report using DB Link

Hey Guys
How do i create a "Form on a table with report"?? using a database link. Under the "Table/View name" category when i provide the table name with the database link (like EMP@test), it compalins and says table or view does not exist and it only allows me to select from local tables. When i run "select 1 from emp@test" in sql commands window, it does return records so database link is working..
Any suggestions??

yes, I know i can do that, but when i tried it, its not displaying the records that are in the table, so how can i delete an existing record. Its doesnt allow me to browse through the records. Atleast, in the other way, it creates an edit button on the left and clicking it will take you to a form when you can edit it, add/delete.....this is all really simply, only issue is how to incorporate database links in this.
