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?

  • Getting Column names from SQL report

    I have a SQL report as follows:
    select ename, dept, manager
    from emp;
    I need to be able to dynamically access the column names being displayed inside APEX so I can use in a List of Values. I can't use all_tab_columns. Is there an internal APEX table/view that I can accxess that will give me all of the columns that are eing displayed in a SQL report?

    Hi Bob,
    Try this -
    1) Give your report region a static id
    2) Use the following query -
    select
      heading d,
      column_alias r
    from
      apex_application_page_rpt_cols
    where region_id = 'FOO';Obviously change 'FOO' to match your region id, and look at the different columns available in the apex_application_page_rpt_cols view to see what best suits you.
    The APEX dictionary rocks ;)
    Hope this helps,
    John.

    thanks for your reply
    i 'm doing what exactly you mention here .
    my problem here is
    i have 15 columns
    i am executing a query based on the values of the column(column name)  in the target page
    1)here i am passing(all) the column values to the next page-but  i want to pass only one column values(column name)
    when i click on any cell of that  column
    OR
    2)i can pass all column name to target page -there(in the target page) i can filter out
    i think option 1 would good if you filter out the unwanted columns

    Hello,
    Using dynamic sql you can pass column name to function. well I am not getting what you really want to do ? Please write in more detail. By the way I am providing one example here. see it uses dynamic sql.
    Create or replace function fun_updtest (p_columnname_varchar2 in varchar2,
    p_value_number in number)
    return number is
    v_stmt varchar2(500);
    begin

    call to this function can be like this..

  • How to get column names in table maintenance dialog?

    I created a new Z table and created a maintanance dialog so that I can maintain the table through sm30. i don't see columns names on maintenance screen, just a "+" sign for each column! Could someone please tell me how to display column name?
    Thanks.
    Mithun

    Hello Mithun
    The column texts are taken from the field descriptions of the data elements used in your z-table. A "+" sign usually indicates that none of the field descriptions of the data element has been maintained.

  • How to refer a column name in form report

    Hi,
    How can i refer a column name in the form report. My issue is that " I have a form report in that i have column name when i use to click the column name it should bring me to next page with the corresponding values of the column."
    Here i have achieved that when i click on column name(in Page1) it brings me to next page(Page2). but in the next page(P2) i want to display(only display) the corresponding values of the selected column(Page1) but the values should not be editable and should not be in text field it should be in display only field.
    So how can i write a sql query in display only souce field. Ie, how can i refer the column name in(page1) form report.

    Hi Karthik
    Very good morning.
    I think u have column link in the first page and when u select a data in the first page and when u r moving to the next page the the corresponding data need to there is it correct.
    For example You have table Employee and u have a select list in the first page contains name of the employee when u select one name and corresponding datas of the employee need to be in the second page.
    So Dont clear the cache of the first page.
    I the next page make the page items as display only and give the source of the all items a returning the single sql query.
    If u have four items in the next page namely p2_sal, P2emp_no etc..
    Then use like this
    select sal from emp where emp_name=:P1_EMPNAME
    Hopes this might helps you.
    Thanks & Regards

  • How to validate column name in dynamic made sql?

    Oracle db, jdbc, web app with struts2/spring.
    Example table could be this:
    CREATE TABLE album
    album_id number(10)  not null,
      artist  varchar2(50) not null,
    title  varchar2(50) not null,
      released  DATE,  
      CONSTRAINT album_pk PRIMARY KEY (album_id)
    );In may app the user MAY search, MAY sort, and the result from an select might return 10.000 rows.
    The basic sql usually look like this.
    String sql = "select album_id, artist, title, released from album";Then in the html page the user can add search criteria for each column. Like type "iron maiden" in artist field, put "1982" in released field. And you all know what the exceptionally result should be from that :)
    Now I need to modify the sql a bit:
    if( artist search field contains stuff )
       sql = sql + " where nvl( artist,' ') like ?"
    }we try use prepared statements right? So we use ? as placeholders, and then add "iron maiden" into this statement later on.
    Nice, no big fuzz right, and pretty safe from sql injections i guess.
    But now I have to have an if/else for every single field in the table. Boring. In my app I got like 25 tables like this, with 20 columns minimum. Copy/Paste have never been so boring.
    I also might have to add "order by" with user selected columns and their order. I have to count the query to get total result in case i got to split it up in pages. So there is alot of if/else and sql = sql + "more stuff", and sticking to ? and pure prepared statements is impossible.
    But doing this is not good either:
    for( each element in a map)
      sql = sql + " and nvl( " + key + ",' ') like ?"
    }Where key is "artist".
    In struts and other tag libs its easy to make kode like:
    <s:textfield name="model.addSearch( 'artist' )" value="%{model.getSearch( 'artist' )}" size="30" />
    Silly example maybe, but just to make a point.
    Inputed values in an html form, can very easily be a part of a dynamic created sql - which becomes a security problem later on.
    Artist is an column name. Key should be validated if it contained an valid column name.
    I could make a list of strings, containing valid column names to check against.
    My question is if there is possible to get this type of information from the database, so I don't have to hand-make these lists?
    But I also want to keep the number of heavy and slowing queries down.
    My app have like 25 tables now, and I could easily get away with hand-make everything, copy/paste around etc. But I have more projects and this question will be here next time too. And after there again...

    Metadata. Then I have to query the database, take the result and use it for validating of input. If my sql only query 1 table, then this is ok. In this case I could do with that. But if the sql query mutliple tables, with sub-selects, unions etc. Then I might have to query all tables first, and even then I might not have what I want.
    The best way is of course to run the query, then get the metadata from that query - cause then im 100% sure what columns will be returned, and then I can validate with that.... 1 query is often not that slow. But I might query once to find total number of rows the query return in order to decide if we need to page the result. then query to get the metadata for validating input, then query to get the result... Maybe this is ok -but my head don't like it as an general ok thing to do, but I can't really say why...If you have a gui screen then it needs to correspond to some specific query. It can't be all possible combinations.
    So once you know the query you can obtain the meta data using a query that returns no results. Like the following.
    select * from mytable wheren 1 = 0

    Jschell:
    I agree to what you say. I don't understood everything you said tho.
    Im not sure if you talk about having 1 search field (like google), and you input stuff there that might be in any columns.
    I have several search fields in one-to-one relasionship with view column/sql query column.
    Then you already know what the field represents. So validate it in the gui and not via the database.
    The first is way more advanced since you have to cover any input, any column, any case etc. Pluss add ranking. Lots of work for someone who have done little searchengines.
    Latter is simpler, but might also be limiting.Huh?
    As an example if you have a call center then the operators are not going to be doing unrestricted searches to find customers. They are going to look using a very limited set of data like the customer name and telephone number.
    >
    My job is very much like an consulent. They got an app, I shall add a new feature. The app is old and ugly coded. My boss ask how long it takes to make this, I say 2months, he decide 1 month. My dev time for features is rarely above 1 month, and I don't make much new apps.
    So I don't have the time to make advanced codegenerator, or spend time to evaluate various frameworks. Bringing an framework into the existing code is actually difficult. But I do want to improve the code, and add good code into the existing app that can be extended without evil pain.
    That doesn't jive with your OP. You made the following statement "My app have like 25 tables now, and I could easily get away with hand-make everything,...".
    That suggests that you are doing much more than simply updating an existing application.
    If you only need to add one new field then you should do only that. You shouldn't be attempting to add a system spanning validation system.
    On the other hand if you are in fact adding a validation system, then code generation makes it likely that it would take less time or no more than the same. And it is less likely to introduce bugs.
    Learn how to make an code generator? Well I guess thats what I asked help for - point me in the right direction if you could pls. Putting strings together to become code in an logic way is usually manageable, at least for simple querys. Evaluating that the generated code is good/safe - got no good clues...
    Learn about frameworks? Got no time. Hope I will get the time, but I won't. The customer must want to spend the money so I can get the time, that won't happen cause an framework does not add features, its only cost saving in terms of dev time, and maintenance time. The customer have no such focus/interest. They got a bit money to spend now and then regularily. i.e. government.
    I just want to try code as good as possible so I save myself from errors, painfull rewrites, and dev-time that gets out of proportions because of stupid code. So the question is actually about me trying to improve myself, its just that i don't know how right now.There are two goals.
    1. Implement a specific feature in an existing application.
    2. Learn a new way to solve problems.
    Nothing says that the second will help with the first. They should be addressed separately and your post doesn't make it clear what the first is so it is hard to say how it should be down.
    As for the second I already made a suggestion which provides two new ways to solve problems.

  • Parse SQL: How to extract column names, table names from a SQL query

    Hi all,
    I have a requirement wherein a SQL query will be given in a text file.
    The text file has to be read (probably using text_io package), the SQL query needs to be parsed and the column names, table names and where clauses have to be extracted and inserted into separate tables.
    Is there a way to do it using PL/SQL ?
    Is there a PL/SQL script available to parse and extract column names, table names etc ?
    Pls help.
    Regards,
    Sam

    I think I jumped to conclusion too early saying it is completely possible and straight forward. But after reading through your post for one more time I realised you are not interested only in the column_names, also the table_names and the predicates .
    >

    The above is possible and straight forward using the dbms_sql package.

    Check this link and search for Example 8 and .

    >
    Now this is the tricky bit. You can extract the list of tables by getting the sql_id from v$sql and joining it with v$sql_plan. But sometimes you may not get all the results because the optimizer may choose to refine your query (check this link)
    http://optimizermagic.blogspot.com/2008/06/why-are-some-of-tables-in-my-query.html
    and you can get the predicate information from the same table v$sql_plan but I will leave that area for you to do some R&D.

  • How to concatenate column name in PL/SQL

    Here is ex.
    I want to execute like this
    for i in 1 .. 18 loop
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'select qty_sz'||i||' from table1';
    end loop;
    I mean Can I cancatenate column name with a variable?
    your advice is gretly Appeciated.
    Ram.

    It would be a lot easier to diagnose your problem if you posted the error message. Oracle has an awful lot of error messages.
    I thing I have noticed is this:
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE mysql into var1 using 'qty_sz'||i ;
    You have an implicit datatype conversion there, i being a number and you can only concatenate varchar variables. There is a little wrinkle in this, in that to_char seems to put a space in front of any number. So try this:
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE mysql into var1 using 'qty_sz'||ltrim(to_char(i));
    and see if it makes any difference.
    Another problem will be if your columns are like this: qty_sz01, qty_sz02,...qty_sz8. because the default mask doesn't incude the leading zero so in that case you should specify the mask in the to_char(i, '09')
    If neither of those fixes your problem post the your error message.

  • Sorting report columns for PL/SQL report

    I have created a report of type "Pl/Sql function body returning Sql query" in which I am generating the column names within the query. I would now like to make the first three of these columns sortable. But when I click on the "sort" box for the first three columns, all my column names suddenly switch to "Col 1", "Col 2" etc.
    As you can see by the following snippet from the PL/SQL that generates the query, the column names are data driven, so I'm not in a position to declaratively rename each column. As it happens, the first three columns names are fixed, but all the subsequent column names are data driven.
    Suggestions on how to make the first three columns sortable while preserving the generated column names of the remaining columns?
    thanks

    declare
    query varchar2(4000); -- query

    loop
    query := query || ', (select val_text from finding_vt vt where vt.encounter_id = e.encounter_id and vt.attr_src = ''' || c1.attr_src || ''' and vt.attr_code = ''' || c1.attr_code || ''' and sequence_number = ' || c1.sequence_number || ') "' || substr(c1.attr_text,0,30) || '"';
    END LOOP;
    query := query || ' from patient pat, encounter e where pat.patient_id = e.patient_id';
    return query;
    end;

    This turns out to be related to the choice of "use generic column names" v. "use query specific column names".
    I had chosen "use generic column names" just to get past the initial creation page. I then debugged the query creation sql, but never changed that setting back to "use query specific column names". The fix is to choose "use query specific column names".
