How to line break in an SQL Report

I have a simple SQL report with many columns that make the window very wide and the use has to scroll horizontally quite a lot.
How can I make the line break after some column?
Can someone give me a live example for that?

Custom report template then is your answer.. Without seeing your initial report it would be hard to give you the code fully. However, if you open the standard report template for your theme, you could save it as a new template and edit it accordingly. You would find the column you wish to break on and create a new <tr> .. </tr> under the <td> definition..
Thank you,

Unwanted Line Breaks in PL/SQL CODE after 'CREATE OR REPLACE' statements

Does anybody know how to keep SQL Developer from automatically editing PL/SQL code and adding line breaks after 'CREATE OR REPLACE' statements?
It keeps taking:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE DEVELOPER AUTHID DEFINER
And turns it into:
create or replace
package developer AUTHID DEFINER
This unwanted linebreak causes our autodeployment processes to break.

Hi Michael,
I believe nothing for this issue has progressed since it was asked here:
2.1 RC Extra Line Breaks
As there may be approval for some planned improvements to the SQL Formatter feature in 3.2, I logged an enhancement request for you:
Bug 13744858 - FORUM: UNWANTED LINE BREAK AFTER CREATE OR REPLACE SYNTAX
Regards,

Edited by: Gary Graham on Feb 21, 2012 4:19 PM
But if you have control over your auto-deployment process code, it might be quicker to enhance that to deal with CREATE OR REPLACE on the same or the preceding line. Also, note that if you edit the package DDL to put the CREATE OR REPLACE on the same line with the package name in the code editor, then immediately use Export or Save Package Spec and Body to save it to disk, then PACKAGE <name> will appear on the same line as the CREATE OR REPLACE syntax.

How about instead of the \n, trying a chr(10) and possibly adding a chr(13)?
I've tried your exampleand htp.p(chr(13)); and suggestions?The HTML specification instructs user agents to collapse white space characters, so however many spaces, tabs, new lines, or carriage returns you add, using whatever notation, only a single space will actually be displayed.

In 2011 don't use any <tt>htf/htp</tt> element methods: the HTML generated by these packages is based on an archaic, unadopted HTML version and produces mark-up that is not valid for the XHTML DOCTYPEs used in APEX 4.0 themes. APEX itself stopped using them years ago.
Not knowing where in the page this information is intended to display, it's always safer to assume there is no open block-level container and provide one (such as <tt>div</tt> or <tt>p</tt>) in the emitted mark-up. Does

How eliminate line break after JPN opening parenthesis

Is there a way to force my JPN parenthesis marks to stay with the parenthesis text?
If the opening parenthesis mark occurs at end of a line it does not stay with the contents of the parenthesis, for example:
...................end of line『
parenthesis』
I have verified that the JPN opening paranthesis mark is not in the "Allow line breaks after" list.
Thank you for any help!
Karen

Well, Karen,
I am under the impression that it is not necessary to do that. My path
of evaluation would be:
Switch the system locale of a computer to Japanese (if you don't
have access to a real Japanese setup)
Start FrameMaker and create a blank new file, save as MIF
Open the MIF to find hopefully the default Japanese Kumihan tables
Back on my standard setup I would
check if the Kumihan tables need any modification
Import the MIF segment into one of my existing Japanese documents to
see if they are applied
Unfortunately I have no time at the moment to test this in person.

How to suppress column names in SQL-report

What I want is just the data, without any column names.
COLUMN LDATE OFF;
SELECT     SYSDATE LDATE
FROM DUAL;
LDATE
07.11.11
This example doesn't work. There is still LDATE above column. Any idea?

How to find if the SQL Reporting services are stand alone or clustered ?

Hi All,
Can any one tell me how do i find if the SQL Reporting services are stand alone or clustered ?
As there are no other SQL features installed on the server except for reporting.
Is there any GUI or CLI command to check this ?
Gautam.75801

Hello,
Do not open cluster administrator since SSRS cannot take advantage of Windows Clustering Services.
You need see if the Network Load Balancing manager (NLB) (windows feature) is installed on the SSRS computer and open
it to see if a NLB cluster has been configured.
Hope this helps.

Pl-sql report with parameter

Hi
I have created report with region source as pl-sql. In pl-sql block, calling package where i am passing query. In query's where clause i want to pass paramter value which user had selected.
There are two regions on page. On upper part, there is select list, on lower part there is report with pl-sql region but value of select list is not found in query. I am trying to access with bind variable, select list of item :SL_TEXT. But it is not showing any value in it.
How to use select list value in query of report? Or let me know how to use parameter in pl-sql report which is selected in other region?
Thanks in advance

I am attempting to define the variable as a date variable through Oracle BI and yes it does use a colon to signal variable substitution.
So thank you the first way you stated should work.
The only problem I'm running into now I believe steems from the date format that column that I am trying to filter on. It is in what appears to be the worst format possible.
Is it common for dates to be stored in a DD-MON-YY format? (e.g. 01-JAN-08) I thought we as a community had moved past that post Y2K scare. lol.
When I set up the bind variable in BI it allows me to define the date format, much similar to the TO_DATE function but then it says (must be java date format). So I'm thinking that maybe DD-MON-YY is not a java date format.
In that case is there a way to cast or convert my date format in the sql so that it is a supported java date format?
Or should I just give up and pass it as a varchar2?

Make sure you're using the:

How to show the break totals and NOT the report totals in an SQL report

APEX 4.0.1
In an normal SQL report (Not interactive) with a break applied on the first column, how do you just show the break totals and NOT the extra full report totals?
Next, Is it possible to display only some of the row totals and not for all columns that have the sum option checked against them?

How to get a line break

Hi All,
How do I get a line break within a particular field?
My DB structure is that I have 4 columns address_line_1, address_line_2 and so on. I cannot select them as different fields because all of them can be null, in which case i pick it from internal_address_line column.
I use:
SELECT DECODE(address_line_1, NULL, internal_address_line, address_line_1 || ', ' || Address_Line_2) as ADDRESS
But instead of th comma separating the 2 address lines I want a line break so that 2 address lines come in 2 separate lines in the output.
It doesn't allow me to use chr(10) as a line break and gives an error
I'm using Reports 2.5
TIA
Naveen

Yes, true.
How about setting up the sections as:
Section 1 Introduction ('Section num space introduction' in this example - tab may be better)
Then generate the Contents.
Then do a GREP find/change on the document after the contents:
This will add a forced line break and tab after each section number... You might want to specify a para style in the Find Format box too, so that references to Section xx in body text are not altered.
If you update Contents after this, you will get the line break and tab in the Contents too.

modify your query and include ROW_NUMBER, move everything to an inline view and include a CASE statement to hide some of the values... wow, very cryptic.. there is an example here:

How to remove spaces in the output of an PL/SQL report

Hi,
The requirement is to develop a SQL report.
The sample code is like this
Select 'Order Number Header Id' from dual; ( This is the heading in the output of the report.)
Select order_number , header_id from oe_order_headers_all;
The output is displaying as follows
=======================
'Order Number Header Id'
1234 101
2222 102
3333 103
=======================
Now I am opening the report in excel, and there is a space appearing after the headings.
So, how can I remove the additional blank line between the headings and the data.
Thanks in advance
