Is passing parameter to ORDER BY clause possible?
I'm using a function to return a ref cursor and currently pass a parameter without any problems. I would like to change the sort on the fly by passing a parameter to the order by clause, but Oracle ignores it.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pkg_agent_appt_status AS
TYPE rcur IS REF CURSOR;
FUNCTION f_agent_appt_status (ssn IN VARCHAR2, sort_str IN VARCHAR2) RETURN rcur;
END pkg_agent_appt_status;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY pkg_agent_appt_status AS
FUNCTION f_agent_appt_status (ssn IN VARCHAR2, sort_str IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN rcur
IS
retval rcur;
BEGIN
OPEN retval FOR
SELECT agncy.CORPORATE_NAME "Agency Name",
agnt_state.APPT_STATE "State",
agnt.AGENT_STATUS "Appt Status",
TO_CHAR(agnt_state.APPT_STATE_EFF_DT,'mm/dd/yyyy') "Effective Date",
agnt.AGENT_NUMBER "Agent ID",
agnt.AGENT_STATUS "Agent Status",
STATE.STATE_NAME
FROM AGNT_APPT_STAT_PRDCR_WRK agnt,
AGNT_APPT_STAT_WRK agncy,
AGNT_APPT_STATE_STAT_PRDCR_WRK agnt_state,
STATE
WHERE agnt.AGENT_TAX_ID = ssn
AND agnt.COMPANY_CODE = agncy.COMPANY_CODE
AND agnt.PARENT_AGENT_AGENCY_ID = agncy.AGENT_NUMBER
AND agnt.COMPANY_CODE = agnt_state.COMPANY_CODE
AND agnt.AGENT_AGENCY_ID = agnt_state.AGENT_AGENCY_ID
AND agnt.AGENT_NUMBER = agnt_state.AGENT_NUMBER
AND agnt_state.APPT_STATE = STATE.STATE_CODE
ORDER BY
sort_str;
RETURN retval;
END f_agent_appt_status;
END pkg_agent_appt_status;
This is quite easy, as you are already using a REF CURSOR. Instead of
OPEN retval FOR
SELECT ...
ORDER BY sort_str;we can code this:
OPEN retval FOR
'SELECT ...
ORDER BY '|| sort_str;Watch out for the single quotes in your query e.g. the date format mask: you need to wrap these in an additional set of single quotes i.e. 'mm/dd/yyyy' becomes ''mm/dd/yyyy''.

ORDER BY ltrim(rtrim(p_orderby)) ASC;
p_orderby is the parameter being passed. But the output is not sorted. But when I run the cursor by hardcoding the parameter value it works fine...
Need your help on thisHi,
When you use a local variable in a cursor, it's as if you had hard-coded a literal in its place, so you can't use a variable for a column name.
If you know all the possible values of p_orderby, you can do something like this:
ORDER BY TRIM ( CASE p_orderby
WHEN 'DESC' THEN plano.desc
WHEN 'VALUE' THEN plano.value
END
) ASC;If you don't know all the possible values, you could use dynamic SQL.
By the way,
TRIM (x)returns the same results as
LTRIM ( RTRIM (x)) -
Help: PL/SQL passing paramter to ORDER BY clause
I am working on a procedure that using a parameter to pass sorting order. If there parameter, say p_order which is varchar2, can I just use the it directly passing the field name to the order by clause?
What I really want to know is that do I have to use decode together with p_order to achieve the goal?
WJHHi,
The positional notaion in ORDER BY, e.g.
ORDER BY 2, 1is one of the rare cases in which a numeric literal is required. Using an expression, even a bind variable, won't raise an error, but won't sort, either. (It's equivalent to sorting by a constant, which doesn't sort at all.)
Like Centinul said, you have to use dynamic SQL to construct the ORDER BY clause, or use some kind of IF-THEN-ELSE logic (such as CASE), like this:
SELECT ename, sal
FROM scott.emp
ORDER BY CASE
WHEN :x = 1 THEN ename
ELSE TO_CHAR (sal, '000000')
END; -
Dynamic ORDER BY clause - Possible different data types...
I have a lexical parameter in my ORDER BY clause:
ORDER BY &P_ORDER_BY
My problem is that I have to designate this parameter as either a date, character or number, but the user defined column being ordered by could be any one of these. When I designate the parameter as a character type, and a number data type column is chosen, it orders by that value, but it orders it as though it were a character field, referencing the initial digit and not the overall numeric value. If I choose a number parameter type, and a character value is chosen, I get an invalid number error, and so on.
Anyone have any ideas how I can do this?Okay, now we're on the right track. The lexical parameter I'm using allows the user to choose from a list of the columns being retrieved in the SELECT statement, so it will always be one that's in there, as you said. Now, since I don't know which one it's going to be, I can't just make all but one of them 'None' for the break order, BUT, what I intended to do was to add a column to the SELECT statement that would always return the column they chose, and I could put the break order on that column, leaving all the rest 'None'. However, in the past, this has created 2 problems for me.
1.) As I mentioned in the first post, the column being returned could have a data type of character, number or date, but the parameter must be designated as only one of these. So, if the user chooses to order by a column having a value with a data type other than what the parameter is designated to be, then I get errors, it doesn't order correctly, etc...
2.) This is the strange, but anytime I've marked all but one column as 'None' for the Break Order, my child data doesn't always stay with the parent. For example, the report is on an IT request database. The 'group fields' consist of data elements that are demographic info.of a request (requester, date requested, description, etc...), and the details for each request list out the comments that have been made in the system for that request. The problem I'm seeing when I set the break orders this way is that each request displays not only its own comments, but it lists out comments for other requests as well, and there doesn't seem to be any logic to which request's comments it lists in addition to its own, it just lists as many as will fit on the page...I don't know if I explained that very well, but that's what's happening.
Does any of that make sense? Any ideas? -
Passing parameter in report for order by clause
how can we pass the name of the column on which we want the order by clause to sort as a parameter through parameter from in a report??
Hi Guptha,
We can create a bind parameter in report and we can send it as a parameter or enter in the parameter form.
The Query will be
select * from emp
order by :Order_Bu_Column
I think it will help you.

Order by clause based on parameter value
hi,
i am using reports 6i with 10 g db
I have to create a report sorted in order of four fields. there is a parameter for selecting which field should come first in order by clause.
ie the user has provision to view the report in selected sorted order
suppose the four fields are emp_id, name, dept_id, desig .
if the user select dept_id , then the order by clause should be in order of dept_id,emp_id,name,desig
Please help to solve this scenario.
ThanksHi Rinz,
Use the query as follows :
select column_name1, column_name1, ....
from table_name
&order_by_clauseNow in the AFTER-PARAMETER-FORM trigger set the order by clause as below depending upon requirements :
if :sort_column = dept_id then
:order_by_clause := 'order by dept_id,emp_id,name,desig';
else
:order_by_clause := 'order by emp_id, dept_id, name,desig';
end if;
Here sort_column is User parameter which will be selected by user, provide list of Values for it.
Hope this helps
Best Regards

Writing order by clause with user parameter
I have a user parameter where the user is supposed to choose what column they want to sort by.
And they can choose between k.personnr and k.personnavn. I am trying to do this with a decode function.
Now this would work fine if there was no union between these select statements.
But with the union I get a ORA-01785, where they tell me to put in a number.
Here is the sql:
SELECT
k.personnr as PERSON ,
k.personnavn as NAVN,
r.belop as SUM,
concat(to_char(r.bilagdato,'MM'), to_char(r.bilagdato,'YYYY')) AS MND,

This is the order by clause I would like to use:
order by decode(:p_order_by,'Personnavn',k.personnavn,k.personnr)
I also get an error when I use:
order by decode(:p_order_by,'Personnavn',2,1)
Can anybody tell me how to work around this problem?Hi,
One way you can do to get around this problem could be :

where e.empno = e2.empno) a

BODI: Is it possible to pass parameter/variable value out of a data flow?
Hi All,
Is it possible to pass parameter value out of a data flow?
I've created a custom function in my query transform to get row count, this value would be used outside the data flow to perform another logic. It looks like I'm unable to modify the output schema at the function in the query transform to explicitly map it to a particular global/local variable.
Any ideas?
Thanks.Any ideas?

Decode in order by clause with desc
I want to user order by clause with decode + desc order.
somthing like
ORDER BY DECODE ('SALE', e.sale, 'SALE DESC' ????)
????-> How to use desc order with decode
Thanks in advanceI thought smart people in this OTN community will understand that I am trying to order by the thisdate column that is timestamp datatype:). My apologize for not being that specific.
The query I gave is a simple version of the stored procedure I am using. The point is I need to order by - depending on one of the parameters that is passed to the procedure. In simplest decode statements, its something like
order by decode(p_in_var,'ABC','thisdate asc','DEF','thisdate desc',thisdate asc)
Here p_in_var is varchar input parameter to the stored procedure.
Please let me know if there is any more information needed.
Thx! -
TestStand Open SQL Statement does not support SQL's ORDER BY clause???
TestStand 1.0.3
Windows 2000 SP1
SQL Server 2000 Personal
You've got to be kidding me...
It appears that the built-in TestStand Open SQL Step does NOT support the
"ORDER BY" clause in the SELECT statement, even though the documentation
says it does. Is this true?
I have an Open SQL Statement query:
"SELECT * FROM [MyTable] WHERE ([Batch ID]=1234)"
it works fine, returning a correct record count 120 records. If I change
the Open SQL Statement query simply by adding an ORDER BY clause, such as:
"SELECT * FROM [MyTable] WHERE ([Batch ID]=1234) ORDER BY [MyField] ASC"
it returns a record count of zero. I know that "MyField" exists in the
MyTable table and contains valid data. The
second query works fine in SQL
Server Enterprise Manager.
Am I missing something? Is it true that the TestStand Open SQL Step does
NOT support the "ORDER BY" clause? If not, what &#$!ing good is it and why
does the manual state it is supported? Is there any other way using just
the TestStand steps to order a database recordset on one or more fields?
Any help would be appreciated.
Grrrrr....

I've been doing some experimenting over the past couple of days. Simple,
one-table queries seem to handle the ORDER BY clause fine. Th
ings seem to
get messed up when I try multi-table queries with ORDER BY clause with the
TestStand database steps. I get no errors but the returned record counts
are always 0 with the ORDER BY and positive without the ORDER BY. The exact
same queries work fine in Visual Basic/ADO and the SQL Server Query
Analyzer.
> Questions:
> 1. Have you verified whether the data is actually returned even though

Hmmm... yes data IS getting returned (at least on the two instances I just
checked), but the record count is always zero. I was not proceeding with
processing if the record count was 0.
Still... I don't know how to loop through the recordset without knowing how
many records there are an not eventually generate an error by passing EOF.
Is there another way using the TestStand database steps to determine a) the
number of records in the recordset or b) when I'm at EOF?

Everything on the Advanced tab of the Open SQL Statement step is set to "Use
