Hide Tabs based on a table driven customer access

Question

Hi,
I want some of the tabs to be hidden based on user profile that I've saved in a table... in the table I've identified user name (that I am comparing against the login user name) and in one of the columns I've identified if they should have access to the tab or not (by entering "Y" against the user names that should have access to the table)... Table looks something like this:
Table Name: Table_A
User_Name Tab_Access
ABC
BCD Y
XYZ Y
EFG
(note: based on the above table only users BCD and XYZ should see the tab for the rest it should be hidden)
To accomplish the above, I've put following PL/SQL code under "Conditional Tab Display"
APEX_UTIL.Get_First_Name(:APP_USER)||' '||APEX_UTIL.Get_Last_Name(:APP_USER) in (select User_Name from Table_A where Tab_Access = 'Y)
and set Tab Display Condition to PL/SQL expression
and got the following error message:
Invalid PL/SQL expression condition: ORA-06550: line 1, column 114: PLS-00405: sub query not allowed in this context ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: Statement ignored
when I changed the above PL/SQL statement to something like this (it worked):
APEX_UTIL.Get_First_Name(:APP_USER)||' '||APEX_UTIL.Get_Last_Name(:APP_USER) in ('BCD', 'XYZ')
Please advice

Hi,
Try this for Conditional Tab Display:
Condition Type: Exists(SQL Query returns at least one row)
Expression 1:
select 1 from Table_A
where Tab_Access = 'Y' and
User_Name = APEX_UTIL.Get_First_Name(:APP_USER)||' '||APEX_UTIL.Get_Last_Name(:APP_USER)Update your forum profile with a real handle instead of "qwe12654".
Use [url http://wikis.sun.com/display/Forums/Forums+FAQ]formatting tags for code to indicate the code you are using.
Hope it helps!
